hello friends,

i'm new around here and around android in general, i tried official CM10 and the unofficial CM10, CM7, CICI, Marvel v9.

for my daily use i stay for now with marvel. run pretty good, no bugs, all the ohers i tried (look the above list) had too many bugs related to dialer, timezone, didnt recognize my sim card and few other annoying bugs. all of those ran pretty fast and was good looking and well worked on, but those bugs waas too much for me, cause i need a working phone 24 hrs a day. the stock rom in israel is froyo. it sucks. so for now im with marvel.

well as for the last few hrs im running the zeus 6.4, i must say its cool looking and smooth, and i like it :) only thing is for me to check the RTL support for hebrew.

i seen here few talks about ICS V28C rooted.... where can i find it, does it support hebrew, you know any stock rom that is GB or ICS that supports hebrew??

thanks guys

thanks for XDA dev for doing such good work :good::good::good::D
[LG Optimus Black] patelumangv:
Today I must say that best ICS rom for OB is IZS by huexx.
[LG Optimus Black] hare89:
agree with that brightness bug fixed, rom has everything stability , performance and good battery..

Would be nice if huexxx adds those patches in v0 and post new link its making a bad impression on the best rom ever :P

And i dont know if he is reading this thread ever , i still cant post in developers threads cause of post count,but my opinion is that he shouldnt add apps like terminal emulator , cpu spy etc..(for most of the users not needed) he should just leave it with superuser ,everything else can be added via market and easily deleted ...
[LG Optimus Black] n1980:
zeus 6.4 is without RTL support for hebrew - but you can download hebrew supported keyboard.

still i had problems with LG Email app and RTL, so i upgrade to V30b - hebrew from base android - im now using Ultrasound ROM V30B v3.1

in my opinion Zeus ICS is the BEST rom for now ... :)
[LG Optimus Black] cookiepuppy:
thanks you for the answer, i downloaded few keyboards, the main annoying thing for me is the RTL support, btw this Ultrasound ROM you flashed, does it support hebrew RTL and hebrew local ? or do i need to try the stock V30B/C open europe or on of those ??

thanks again

IZS by Huexxx :D
[LG Optimus Black] iarlocco:
GB is better then JB on P970

I used CM10 and CM10.1 from the first nighlty, but i think them are very slow and rich of bugs (like camera or usb storage).

I've just installed CICI rom V3 (CM7 based with theme support) and is very smooth and fast and looks great (in my opinion).

I like ICS or JB features, but at the moment there's not a good rom for me.
[LG Optimus Black] dare14:
Optimus xperia v2 best for me among all roms:cool:
[LG Optimus Black] For1n:
Well, IMO Huexxx made a great job with IZS and soon with a couple of tweaks it will be best daily ROM for P970... unless CM team will fix the camera than features of JellyBean will be too hard to ignore.. Time will tell ;)
[LG Optimus Black] baddiva:
with a preference on snappiness and sound output, I would say IZS with ac!d sound engine+noozxooide is on my top list :D
[LG Optimus Black] Hagemi:
IZS by Huexxx now :D

[LG Optimus Black] leoncheong:
I am using the standard IZS. May I know how do you include acld sound engine?

noozxooide does not seem to have effect with IZS.
[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
all these mods (ACiD\Beats\N0OzyOxide) doesn't work on the sound drivers provided by lg in ics and in gingerbread ,, they are only effective in ultrasound 3 or up or cm10/10.1,,these roms contains the modded drivers to support these mods

Odp: Best Rom for Optimus Black; Discussions & Opinions

I personally used CM10.1 because its great experience and features, but when I gave the P970 to my sister I flashed her IZSv4, because of similarity to stock, camera, ability to read sim-contacts.

Marvel v10 have much better looks than izs, so you might want to check it out also.

Send from my One XL CM10
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
?? CM10.1 can't read sim contacts??

Weird

obviously,

you read them in some stock ROM, export to SD card and then use in Cm..

[LG Optimus Black] rohitdhavade:
Hi,

Can anyone please suggest me a ROM and corressponding kernel which has ext2/ext3 support and swap partition support ??.

I m currently using huexx's IZS ROM and diana v0.2 kernel.

..

Thank You !
[LG Optimus Black] eagleeyetom:
Discussion about the "bestest" ROMs shouldn't take place at XDA developers.

Thread closed.
[LG Optimus Black] Norby55:
Can someone please give me a download link for stock roms?

I can't find any on the internet! :(

Thanks a lot!
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
You can find your stock rom here:

h t t p:/ / luivit.altervista. org/firmwareP970/index.php

and then you have to flash your device
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Ill wait for nightly ROM integrated with official gingerbread. That would be most stable.
[LG Optimus Black] champzzz:
I use CyanogenMod here and so far it's sweet...

Makes your device as fast as hell!
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Your right. Its not even overclocked but my p970 with CM7 nightly feels much faster than my iPhone4 im serious
[LG Optimus Black] jusatin:
that's true, using cm#26 and nova11c kernel and got 2400 from quadrant score :D

but on the topic, the fastest rom available is cm, most customization cm, if u want to overclock nova is ur choise, most stable but looks ugly and is slow, stock one

so basically if you want to play or watch videos cm is for you, if you want to use your phone stable all the time go for stock or nova. (till stable cm comes out)
[LG Optimus Black] york824:
Am using stock rom and waiting for a stable CM7 or an official 2.3 update. I hope the official update will also improve the performance of OB.
[LG Optimus Black] Pr3dator?:
Roms made by LG will never be as fast as cyanogenmod because they are adding much lg stuff in it

[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
I tried CM7 nightly 24 yesterday, and it works like a charm. Haven't got anything to complain about yet, phone is snappy as hell, no errors so far. I'm simply amazed. It feels so much better put together than the stock where LG forces their own crap on. I don't care about LGs delays in software anymore. From now on, i'm sticking with CM :D
[LG Optimus Black] Pr3dator?:
Good choice me too i love a little bit of bugs than the stupid lg crap XD

[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
If I flash my LG Optimus Black to CM7 Rom, Is there a way back?

I mean If I will regret or I will have too much bugs, Will I be able to flash to my current stock rom without any signs of flashing to prevent voiding warranty?

Can I create a backup of my current stock rom so I won't feel so afraid to deal with roms, flashing and etc?

(My cellular company is Cellcom)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Everything can be reset, don't worry. All you have to do is rooting your device, make nandroid backup, and you will have complete backup of your phone.

When anything could happen with your software, you can restore the nandroid backup and get everything like it was..

And to "prevent" voiding warranty, just remove the root/unrooting after restore nandroid, it's simple ;) There's lot of tutorial/documentation here, just search and read it..
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
Thank you for detailed reply,

How can I make a nandroid backup? (I haven't found information about this subject)

Thank you very much!
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
go to CWM

choose "backup and restore", then "backup"
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
I've made a nandroid backup, now Is it safe to flash my LG OB to CM7 just for trying and then restore my backup and get my phone back with stock rom?

I've heard that there are critical problems with CM7 like the computer won't recognize my phone when connecting to USB port, sometimes it misses incoming calls.. Is it true?
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
uh,i'm not sure if you can restore the (stock rom from LG) nandroid with "restore" menu

but you can if you convert it to flashable zip file, ask gabwerkz (or someone who already knew it) how to do it

computer won't recognize : false

misses incoming calls : true (sometimes)
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
If I can't restore nandroid backup with restore menu so what can I do with nandroid backup?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
If you have nandroid backup of your device, you can restore from ROM Manager, or via CWM Recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
You don't even need a nandroid backup, it's just practical to store your settings. Best and easiest way to restore ALL THE WAY to factory settings is to take out the battery, hold vol+ while connecting your usb to a pc. start up lg official update app, and do a manual recovery. Then it will be updated over the internet straight from LG's servers with stock software, everything else gone. You can't screw up software so much that you can't restore to factory settings again ;) I've done this 4 times already myself. It's a hassle, but always work when i screw up :D
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
AFAIK, if you restore the stock rom from CWM, you'll end up in a bootloop/"LG security team" (i'm the victim of it,when trying to restore the 10a :D )

i think the nandroid restore only work on custom ROM (still, i think)
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
When the lg app detects my P970 and then It downloads stock rom, does it download the stock rom of my cellular provider (Cellcom,Israel) or just a global stock rom? (because my purpose is getting back warranty so my cellular provider have to see their custom apps on my phone)
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Not correct. Last time i did a "factory unbrick", i made several nandroid backups along the way. For some reason, all of them but the first one (which was barely touched) gave me LG Security Team, but did boot. The earliest one works as a charm, and i have it still, just in case...

If you have a custom rom from your provider, the update tool should be able to detect that and provide you with the correct one. If you're that uncertain, you can try to do the recovery BEFORE rooting/flashing/etc, and see what you end up with. Then you haven't voided any warranty, you have just used LGs official software. If that is stock and not Orange/Vodafone/Whatever version, it's not your fault....
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
I must admit it,i just did the nandroid restore once and end up on this "Security Team"

And i won't ever try that again,it gettin' on my nerves when i must flash it over via kdz

Better safe than sorry :D
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
I have restored couple of times from CM7 to stock and vice versa with no issues.

Full wipe though.
[LG Optimus Black] chintan.bhaidani:
I was on Nova V8, but used to face a strange issue with my dialer, it used to hang every now & then, & was really frustrated, so came back to the stock rom.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Just giving a brief about my stint with my LG OB.

I bought my LG OB about 5 months back, though I am super impressed with the phone's hardware, but the software needs a lot of development as compared to the Samsungs & HTCs.

My normal usage is heavy voice calls (about an average of 2.5hrs to 3hrs a day), lots of emails, browsing, loads of twitter, & whats app.

I am on 3g network (periodic usage)

My battery lasts around 8hrs with this usage.

I had rooted my OB in the next month of buying it & did away a lots of LG stock apps.

I had flashed Nova v8 2.2 but had serious issues with my dialer hanging time & again, it didn't allow me to make calls nor search through my contacts, so finally I again settled for the stock rom by restoring the backup via CWM.

I request the members to kindly guide me to the most stable ROM+Kernel that gives me the best battery life+seamless & peaceful performance.

Shall look forward to your much awaited replies.
[LG Optimus Black] punktnet:
Try CM7 #31 with stock kernel. Should last all day with no problem
[LG Optimus Black] giutal:
Anyone has tried CM #33?
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Yup, using it right now. Only had it for a few hours so no feedback on...well...anything, but it seems ok so far. Haven't even made a call yet, lol...
[LG Optimus Black] axpira:
I tried and no problem, the battery is very good.

Make some calls, send sms, using 3G, and no problem.

I will try now CM#34
[LG Optimus Black] chintan.bhaidani:
Can you please share the download link!
[LG Optimus Black] berkalonso:

i used nova11c kernel and v52 nightly so i got 2400(1st test)-2600(2nd test something off) i didnt try #...49,50,51. so are they faster than 52 in quadrant?
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Ok so I'm waiting for a stable Cm but seems like can't seem to wait anymore my stock rom rooted seems to be giving me probs first can't send mms then can't install and uninstall apps without using market and now recently can't use 3g for no reason..... advice guys, which is the most stable Cm nightly using stock kernel avail?

[LG Optimus Black] Meninw:
Zeus v2.1

Did you tried the Zeus v2.1? It's an excellent ROM with all the features we have from stock one but faster! I'd used CM #39 and it's really a great ROM but if you want some stable ROM I highly recommend Zeus. It's awesome to me!:D
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
What are the bugs of 39? And where can I find the link for the Zeus v2?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
U can find zeus in the dev section, or by using the search feature ;)
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Yup just got it :-P didn't turn up under my search query..... sorry I get jittery and manic if my phone dosent work like it's supposed to :-*
[LG Optimus Black] Meninw:
I found only one and was enough. My SD wasn't mounting so I give a try to the Zeus ROM and was an amazing and happy experience. I reeeaaaly like this ROM. All the functionality of the stock ROM with benefits:D

So far Zeus is the best 4 me. Very stable, bugs free to me (have some bluetooth issue 4 some users).

Give it a try, you'll like it. Guarantee you!;)

****ING A!!!!!!

had my panties all in a bunch abt flashing a rom tot it was gonna be mad complicated..... but i was wrong!!!!

Now running Huexx v 2.2 it is boooooootiiiiiiiifullllllll!!!!!!!!

Thank you Huexx and gang!
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Lol, if you already think, that flashing a rom is complicated, what do u think is cooking, or even developing then? A thing from another planet? :D Well ok, programming also seems to be like from another planet to me ;) But flashing... Cmon mate :)
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
well this is my first foray into the smartphone android thing like 2 mths back =P just glad that guys here are VERY VERY helpful =)

glad that the ppl here pointed me in the right direction =))

question tho, on this zeus does anyone else have a prob going onto market using 3g... cos when i try going on to market with 3g it kinda gets stuck....
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I recommend backing up everything, do a factory reset and restore ur stuff, but without data, since this can cause problems. It may also depend on the version u flashed (see changelog):)
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Got it sorted had to muck ard with the apn setting abit
[LG Optimus Black] lucaslei:
never have the answer of best different man have different choice but if the cm have stable rom maybe it can be a better choice..
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Hee just received word that official gb is available in sg for ob but now after trying Zeus out, feels like I shouldn't bother.... :-P I'm sure battery life wont be as good as Zeus.... and furthermore see alot of feedback saying that the update is screwing their phone up....

Hoping for a custom kernel for Zeus tho :-P fingers crossed....
[LG Optimus Black] Whammamoosha:
P970H

My OB is the quadriband SA variant (GSM 900/1800; 3G 850/2100).

Does one of those ROMs allow to manage the bands?

I had to keep brazilian V20A after flashing that in due to MUCH better coverage compliance (beyod some graphics performance improvements). Yes I liked the european stuff et al, but nothing compares to band compliance.

A curious remark, I didn't have to re-enter the access points after bulk-flashing my phone, they were already there after the first boot. Embedded facilitator?

Congratulations to everyone. Your job here and there is awesome (no flattery intended).
[LG Optimus Black] Whammamoosha:
Ping... Ping... Ping...
[LG Optimus Black] milosx_kg:
The perfect topic for my 10. post :rolleyes:

I made the best choice for myself... two words - Zeus Lite :D
[LG Optimus Black] flavian:
I would like a fast and stable ROM that would allow me to use contacts on my SIM card. I mean really use them like direct edit, add, delete, not just import/export from SIM card.

From what I know, this option was available in Froyo, but not in GB. Best Froyo rom from what I hear is Nova, but was discontinued. Any other suggestions ? Any modified GB rom offers direct acces to SIM contacts ?
[LG Optimus Black] rmrajm1:
Best

Zeus

Marvel

both are top rom;s for our OB as in my opinion.....

i have tried all rom's and feel these 2 r the best.........:)
[LG Optimus Black] flavian:
And both of them allow you to use SIM contact directly ?
[LG Optimus Black] darkhokage:
Wait a few days. Omr911 is going to release a stable ICS rom. It will be a daily driver. So, wait patiently and you will get your just reward:P
[LG Optimus Black] FreeOptimusProject:
For sure it will be ICS/CM9 from FreeOptimusProject... o wait a second, thats me.
[LG Optimus Black] Dustine_VX:
Marvel 8.1

Myself, Marvel 8.1 is the Best ROM up to now.

Smooth, Free Ram, Customize, power of Battery...

But still wait for ICS. :)
[LG Optimus Black] ronit003:
Waiting eagerly mate...
[LG Optimus Black] maniAK-:
Having tested all roms for over year now with all latest builds

Zeus is best for appearance stability battery life by far even to Marvel

This is my opinion

1st place = Zeus

2nd Place = Marvel

3rd Place = Stock gingerbread deoexed and zipaligned Noobtube version

4th Place = ICS/CM9 from FreeOptimusProject

5th Place =CM7 official Arcee's attempt

im sure ICS/CM9 from FreeOptimusProject will take 2nd place soon :)
[LG Optimus Black] ronit003:
1St i bet...

ok just a title update for this thread title cos when i first started this topic, i was VERY VERY new to smartphones let alone android o/s (not saying im an expert in it now...)

but after being in here for a while and reading up quite abit abt android ive come to a self conclusion that there is NO single rom which can be deemed as the best among others.... each custom rom is unique and features something different from the other.... it boils down to a matter of personal preference..... hence im changing the title to make this more of a discussive thread on individual's personal preference and recommendations..... a list of current custom OB roms can be found here

XDA Supported Custom Roms for Optimus Black
[LG Optimus Black] nomboly:
I´ve been into smartphones for a whiiiiiiiiiiiiile now, and I can tell, as far as I´ve tested, even iOS 3-4 (iPhones), Symbian (nokia 5800 loved this device god it was good v5 firmware - n97 not so good) and also Android (milestone 2 - optimus black-by far the best to date). It is fast on the home screen, fast and reliable 3G, no so fast but reliable on connections, 1Ghz on games feels 1Ghz (milestone 2 FAIL on this), no touch lag, ALL THANKS TO CM7, it is a different phone.

HOWEVER, ive tested stock roms and they are BY far slower, zeus was too unstable and couldnt transfer over bluetooth, to me, the best rom is CM7 RC2 AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT IF 720P recording actually worked (yes, sometimes it is needed)
[LG Optimus Black] slurpdroid:
I love do a lot of mod by my self, so I choose cm7 as my prime ROM :D
[LG Optimus Black] rmrajm1:
i dono whether this is the rite place to ask this question,

which is the best rom for a game freak like me? gaming performance rom?

yes, i am a gaming freak i have psp, xbox, 3 android phones sony lg samsung etc etc.....

in lg p970 i have installed zeus v6.22 playing asphalt5, fast5 smoothly....but dead space, nova, shadowgun, six guns, dungeon hunter2 & 3 are all lagging....

please tell me which rom gives you best 2d and 3d gaming support n performance...i have not overclocked and dont want to either.....i don use any other apps much few messages, few calls, few mails and lots of gaming daily probably every hour so i carry my charger everywhere:D:D:D
[LG Optimus Black] AnonymousVie:
For me, Zeus is now on top of the world but let's wait for pure ICS from omr, I'm getting impatient now:confused:
