As grateful as I am for the H932 to now have root, it's only half the battle for me. V30 development in the ROMs department already seems to be a bit slim in what's available, and I fear it might be too little too late for the H932 for development to really take off.
Having said that, I wanted to call on any capable and willing dev to give us some love on the H932, and I'm more than willing to donate to the cause for the first dev that is willing to grace us with something like this:
First off, confirm whether or not we can indeed use AOSP ROMs or if we're stuck with stock based.
Stable (stock Oreo from Tmo sucks in this department, too many bugs left unfixed).
Debloated.
Wide range of customization options, if possible.
That's all I ask! Anyone else feel free to expand on that.
Who's with me?
I'll start us off:
BrandonB1218 - $20
Kangta05 - $20
Joeygee23 - $20
Total: $60
Update:
@me2151 and I are testing Pi builds on the H932. Stay tuned!

Please Read:
If you intend to follow through with the bounty donation, please donate directly to @me2151, as without his work we would not have gotten an H932 release. Also please consider donating to @SGCMarkus for his fantastic LOS 15.1 ROM!

As a developer... Yes h932 roms will be easy. More than likely you guys just have a different kernel/vendor files. We need logs in order to know exactly whats wrong. and I havent seen any logs from boot attempts.

I'm willing to provide them, I just need to know how to retrieve them. I already know I can flash other ROMs without ending up with a brick, they just won't boot.

Wow, you guys really are inpatient
My H932 doesn't even get here till tomorrow. As soon as I have a phone in my hands, then I will start with:
1 - fixing the kernel so the H932 can boot any AOSP ROM
2 - Working on getting Treble support working, so that we can run GSI ROMs
3 - Getting a build of TWRP out there that support encryption

There's no dev without root, so folks, whatever bounty you are willing to pay should largely go to @runningnak3d first. Here is the link for your convenience: donate to runningnak3d. Do it, then if you have any left and willing, you could pledge bounty for developers.
That said, for development I have H932s I can loan for 1-2 months. PM me. I personally prefer stock LG and have less need for AOSP/Treble, but the loaner is available regardless.
Aaaaaaand we have a WORKING BUILD! Still very early, but making very good progress.

So much for donating.. I thought the point of any of this was making money.. even easy side money.. I guess I can wait..
The purpose of this isn't to make money. Its to get support for the H932. Which i have done. As of right now there are only minor issues such as audio issues. Those don't need multiple testers.

I rarely if ever see a developer do this because it pays (99% of the time it doesn't). The point of a Bounty thread such as this, is to act as an incentive for developers to hopefully begin supporting the H932, however they are under no obligation to do so, and if someone steps up to do it, such as me2151, I promise you the $60 he might get in donations does not begin to reflect the true value of his work, not just in time spent but his work also provides a base for other developers to make their own ROMs much easier in the future.
Just my 2 cents.

Generally speaking...if you buy a chef a great device (or the best device in this case) and it has root + rom flash image, then roms will follow.
Obviously this is not a demand, we would require Galaxy S owners' support and the chef's support, but if we think of people to approach, then we can ask and if they're cool with it we'll start fundraising.
Anyone got any ideas who they'd like to cook and the I'll edit this post with a link to that chef's donation link and we can get this thing rolling.
Short list:
-Kingklick (my recommendation)
Any other ideas? I won't start pledges until we're settled on a chef.
Please Take My Name out Of this...
I do Not Support this at all..
By the way, I originally Root the Kernel / Ramdisk of the Behold 2, if the Galaxy S is in anyway the Same... Good luck Finding somebody that Know how to Break RFS Security..
Good Idea i can theme but nothing else
Lol root and write access first...we did it with desire so fingers crossed.
Kingklick? Seriously?......
This are the bests! I prefer Rodriguez and Modaco, but all of this four are the bests!! (i've tried all of them roms for my nexus)
RoDrIgUeZsTyLe - rodigezstyle
Kang-o-rama - djmcnz
CyanogenMod - cyanogen
MoDaCo Custom ROM - paulobrien
i prefere cyanaogen all the way.. his roms were great when i had a nexus one.
MoDaCo Custom ROM - paulobrien <- he already has Galaxy S
always been partial to Amon_RA myself.
Yes kingklick is absolutely amazing. Cyanogen is unlikely to cook for a non-htc device. Paul has a lot on his plate but his roms are great...he devs for loadsa devices...
jw what do we mean by chefs ??? do we mean in rooting it or roms ??
Uhhh - This would be out of KingClicks' league unless he has learned a whole lot. He mainly modifies what others have already discovered or created. He doesn't do a lot of new code work himself. At least that is how I understand it from following most of the devs on Twitter.
That isn't to say that he doesn't do a lot of work (I have used his ROM's in the past!) - just that most of it isn't original. This project would need someone who does a lot of their own original work.
This is generally not the best way to get a dev to work for you. What you really need to do is scout the devs to see who would be willing. Then post up here to see who would be willing to donate to get that dev a device. Otherwise, someone could be sitting here with a bunch of donated cash and no dev to purchase a device for!
I think Galaxy S is absolutly perfect as it is.. only thing it needs is root.. the rest i am happy with
OnT: Cyanogen, Modaco or eventually Richardtrip would i like to see working on Galaxy
custom f/ws would be nice with
1. hi mem support.. you need to kill apps after a while or the think gets slow
2. support for full 360% rotation everywhere
3. root and bootloader support for nandroid backup/restore
4. be able to install apps from bootloader like htc live wallpaper etc.
5. setcpu support
6. be able to apply morphs so can make notif. bar transparent.
etc etc
Removed post.
I found a dev who might be willing if he can get enough money to purchase the device. He's already purchased three devices on his own over the last two years and can't afford to purchase another.
I'll keep this updated.
I'll chip in 50 bucks towards a device for him to get it ported.

Guys, something like this happened in the Acer Liquid community in Modaco and to say the least, **** happened.
Useless posts, childish replys/manners, cursing and attacking etc....
Even if you bought the device don't expect anything from the developer. Thats my advice and good luck.
Yeah..it really hard to live up to human expectation. More especially if others donated cash to purchase a device.
The good old donation AFTER the dev already has his own device and created the ROMs is much preferred. That way the devs don't own the donators anything, and vice versa.

you make a good point.
estimating the popularity of the handset and assuming that ROMs for each revisions will be somewhat easily tweakable/compatible, id hope that there is a strong dev following for the device.

First off developers do this as a hobby not a job. They don't get paid for it. Usually ROM updates follow stock updates such as to EC05 or adding voodoo sound and color. So if there is nothing new to add then what would you have them do?
If you have a specific request you can go to development of the ROM you have donated to and request that feature. The other option is to feel free to work on a ROM in your spare time.
Trying to be as nice as possible, you will get some nasty comments from some people.

the first phrase highlighted and the second highlighted phrase directly contridict each other, and that is whats crappy about this community. it used to all be for fun. donation buttons should be banned.
and dont call me a non donator either. ive donated to bonsai lately (or tribal knowledge lmtd. as donators would know it) and many other devs in the past. it should NEVER be a requirement for service though.

You are right, it is not a requirement for service, however it should never be requested for Devs to give up their life and time for free to make ROM hungry people happy. I gladly donate to the kernel and ROM devs whose product I find the best and feel no shame in pm'ing them about future products. If ROMs don't come out fast enough for some people they should learn to make their own ROMs. I see too many ungrateful people in these threads that ***** and whine but don't donate as if the DEVs are getting paid by XDA to develop ROMs and we as registered users somehow deserve them.
That's all I am saying. Don't want to turn this into some kind of service/donate debate.

Well, hallo there!
It's been a while since I've posted a release thread on XDA... I've been lurking in the shadows (and on IRC) for quite some time.
Here, I present to you a teaser of things to come:
ClockworkMod Recovery (non-touch) 6.0.1.5 for the Sprint Optimus G.
What is this?
This is a "recovery" for your phone, it allows you to install custom ROMs, back up your phone, fix it when it breaks, and much more.
This specific version is "ClockworkMod", which was created by the CyanogenMod team and Koush.
There are many recovery versions out there, I have picked ClockworkMod because it is very easy to compile and debug.
I will compile other recoveries as time permits.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where can I get it?
Please go here to download it: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/sprint/recoveries/
Note: this is a "tethered" build of CWM, as you can not flash it. You must use fastboot to boot the image every time you wish to enter recovery.
This is due to the locked bootloader on this device.
This will not allow you to install a custom ROM just yet, and please don't ask for custom ROM dates yet. I'm working on it...
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
This is *not* safe, and should *not* be done by anyone unsure of what they are doing.
I will post links once I have ironed out bugs, but I WILL NOT SUPPORT anyone using it to modify their phone.
Please don't use this if you don't know how to LGNPST your phone back from the dead, should you accidentally kill it.

Special thanks to user Shelnutt2 for helping me test this on the Sprint variant.
Here's a pic of it running on his Optimus G:
And, here's a video for extra proof
Luckily the video quality isn't potato, but the audio sure is. My explanation is that my HTC Vivid doesn't like me. An engineer's explanation would be that I was speaking softly, as it was 1:30AM at the time of recording, and the phone merely decided that my meek volume was purely background noise... at least, I think that's what an engineer would say, as I haven't graduated yet.

fastboot is the same as with the AT&T varient, aka oem unlock does nothing.
Great work
This is a great start. I can not thank you enough. Like someone mentioned in the petition thread, even if you are not planning to buy this device, please sign the petition for lg to unlock the phone. We need to get a culture of unlocked bootloaders going. Again thanks for the good work
Thanks for the share.. works great.
Does this mean the bootloader is unlock?

At this point no the bootloader is not unlocked though I wish it were I so want this phone but I'm going to wait for a few days and see if they make more progress

I would definitely be willing to provide the appropriate files for the LG U+ Korean variant. However I have never used IRC. If the OP would be willing to PM me instructions I would do my best to get the files to him.
EDIT: No rush, no pressure. I understand that the US domestic carriers are certainly priority in this endeavor, once OP has everything ironed out, perhaps then he may be interested/ willing to include international carriers/ variants.
Sent from my LG-F180L using xda app-developers app
Recovery Is posted under the download link. I attempted to reboot tethered into recovery you posted, but fastboot doesn't seem to want to detect my device. Lg drivers are installed and debugging is on, any thoughts?
So, here's a quick update:
We've got lots of work to do. We have a _very_ viable avenue for FULL AOSP compatibility.
Right now, us developers need to sit down and talk about some major changes to the phone-- and plan out a 'disaster recovery' scenario, since this is no longer a 'quick modification' of the system, but a full AOSP conversion.
Without saying too much, we have quite a bit of proof to support our theories, and a member of the development team is now running the first build of Android 4.2 on his/her Optimus G with very few issues.
It suffers from the same issues that the Nexus 4 does-- for instance, benchmarks are ~4500 as opposed to the 7500 that have been reported by members of the community.
At this point in time though, we will be working "behind closed doors" for a few days until we can come up with a workable solution to this, as the current method is very long and convoluted, and will cause confusion with the Sprint version.
Since I'm posting this same reply on both of my threads (sprint and ATT), I'll give the Sprint update here too...
We've run into some issues with the Sprint version, although it is possible that they'll be easily rectified here in the coming days. Suffice it to say though that we have made less progress with the Sprint variant than the ATT variant (oddly enough). However, I've got some ideas (*cough cough* GPT partition trickery) that should fix the issue.
As usual-- PLEASE do not message myself of any of the other developers asking for an ETA. I know y'all are anxious, but if you really need to know, just stop by IRC and listen for a few mins, you'll probably hear us chattering away about hex offsets and load addresses in between me and my coworker tending to b0rked RHEL installs and Juniper firewalls.
In regards to LGNPST, look for a writeup here soon... I know it's been a source of frustration to some of you on the IRC channel, however please don't expect that I have a full 4 hours to devote to teaching commandline basics for Windows.
Once again, much thanks goes out to Shelnutt2, g33k3r, ilkinasr92, and xboxfanj for all the hard work.
Expect updates on XDA as they come, as usual.
Peace!

Thank YOU, for giving my beloved old (but still very capable) device some attention.
What do you think are the chances of getting WIFI calling to work (has been available for AOSP for several months, CM13 supposedly has it baked in)?
For us T-Mobile users with older phones (missing some of the newer radio bands, for better/speedier coverage), WIFI calling is still very important.
Regardless, thank you for your efforts.
Much appreciated.

Hello,
Is it possible to remove links and close this please?
Thank you sir.
Preface:Lots of great developers have been bringing Cyanogenmod to the Honor 5X, but no one has posted any experimental builds for people to flash. Since I have been able to build CM with the sources other developers have kindly created, I would like to share builds for others to try out on their devices without having to setup an Android build environment.
I would like to clarify a few things:
These builds are UNOFFICIAL and may not be daily driver material.
I just build these ROMs from sources OTHER developers create. See credits below for developer list.
I cannot provide ETAs for the next build, new features, or anything else.
I have only tested these builds on KIW-24, so other variants might not support this ROM.
You are solely responsible for flashing this ROM along with any damage that might result from said flash. See the disclamer.
See post 1 for install instructions and downloads
See post 2 for screenshots and changelogs
Disclaimer: Voided warranties, bricked devices, rogue alarms at 2AM etc. are all your own problem. Neither any developer nor XDA is responsible for any unpleasantness that may result from using this ROM.

Why is it kiw-24 specific ? I read on the other thread that it worked just fine on another variant

I can only test on kiw-24. Another user has reported being able to flash ROM on kiw-22. If you or someone else can confirm that this will work on other variants, I'll update the OP.
Nothing was posted cause there is still things that need to be fixed...lol.. Bugs in builds suck..
Awesome! 40 days after US release. ( i know its been around these forums for a little while) but having a flash-able file is a big bonus. Any general working or not working info ?

I didn't mean to imply that other devs where in anyway at fault for no posted builds. I understand the desire to focus on fixing bugs rather than maintaining builds, but there a lot of people, myself included, that don't mind running buggy builds if we can get a taste of CM.
By the way, do you want me to add you to the credits?

My deal is this... I also have builds of BrokenOs (my rom) for this device but i havent posted any for public use, for one reason...Respect... @crpalmer is doing 95% of the legwork for this device over there at CM and Im sure once hes ready and comfortable with where it is, he will announce builds somewhere for it....I think its both premature, and kinda crappy, to make public someones work before even they think its ready for public use.... My 2 cents... Oh, and i dont care about credit for anything..Im just a rom dev, i get enough for that....

Thanks for your input. I certainly do respect @crpalmer along with all the other devs who have worked on this device, and I in no way want to detract from the fame/glory/respect they are due for all their hard work.
@crpalmer or any other dev, if you want me to remove this thread or change it in any way, please let me know. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I was only trying to help others get a early taste of CM so they didn't have to build it themselves.
Appreciate the credit but I just fetch coffee and hound Huawei when necessary for devs doing actual work.
No harm removing me from the credits.
Thnx to all the devs trying real hard to get these awesome roms on our device.... Really appreciated

Thank you @Bandit Development for the build. While I understand where @InkSlinger420 is coming from I much prefer the state of where @crpalmer has brough CM to over stock. I've been running this for about 4 hours. GPS works great, data and phone work great. Most importantly switching between apps doesn't draaaaaaaag.
Hopefully those responsible for the hard work on this rom will realize this wasn't an attempt to grab the spotlight, but rather a way to placate the masses. Also, needed or not, there is valuable information even in the few early posts because not everyone uses their phones the same way, so one person may never run into a bug that another person sees frequently.
Fingers crossed, but perhaps this thread will also limit the number of posts in the [Dev] thread asking when etc.......... I know I filled it with build questions which probably didn't belong there either. However, I'm trying to learn a little about rom development and one of the first steps to that is to be able to build the rom so you can test your tweaks, or at least see how someone else's changes affect the phone.

It would take me approximately 30 seconds to add automatic nightly builds to my autobuild server (I already generate some builds every night).
Consider that and the fact that I haven't done so as an indication of whether or not I thought builds should be posted right now...

Wow, didn't realize you have a server dedicated to building. Because of this, I did not know that you wanted to wait to post builds. Would you like me to ask an admin to remove this thread? I sincerely don't want to mess with your work, plans, or anything else.

You don't need to remove the thread, I am just pointing out that I don't think that the build is at a level of quality that represents well the work of CyanogenMod.

Well, I'm happy to let you take over cooking builds if you'd like. I certainly don't claim to be able to make quality builds.
I would really appreciate any tips/info you'd like to share that would improve my builds. I've been trying to learn how to fix bugs and contribute to the ROM development, but the task seems to be a rather undocumented and slow-going.
