Awesome to have another on the team!!! Keep up the good work!!
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I'm also interested in taking a crack at it once you have that repo up! My c/c++ skills are probably not up to par for everything that is needed, but I'm sure there's something I can help with.
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Is anyone actively working on this?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
I still need to finsh that repo so others can take a stab at it.

I been working on RIL with CM7, which will need to be working for CM9 too. ;)
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Sounds good! Your work is apprecciated by everyone. Ill be making a donation very soon;)
[LG Revolution] lentm:
thank you for your hard work!!

Goodbye, LG Revo

I loved you, LG Revolution.. You had great hardware, and a nice clean look. But your developer community was so small, and LG had no interest in opening you up. You could have been so much more, LG Revolution, but it's time to face reality.. you'll never be as open as I need you to be. It's time for a new phone.
[LG Revolution] Darthchaz:
Is anyone still working on this? I have been watching avidly for any updates and all we've seen is some semi interesting poetry :(
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Sorry to say but development is pretty much dead for this phone. With out the complete source there was never much that could be done. My suggestion, never buy another LG smart phone, I know I won't. HTC and Samsung from here on out. If you can find a way to change out phones do so.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Last I heard PlayfulGod is still working on getting the RIL working for the Esteem which should then also work for the Revolution. But this is where Cubed gave up on cm7 oh so long ago. As for the OP of this thread.. who the hell knows why he bailed

WOOHOO!!! Post #500 :D
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
The phone is a year old now and dev on has gone no where. Most have moved on to phones that have real support. Add to that LG's complete lack of offering the source and here we are. Tis why I will never purchase another LG phone. HTC or Samsung. No 4G in my area still, I knew it when I was in the store a year ago that I should have bought the INC2, they have a ton of Dev and like 20 ROMs. My last phone was an HTC, I do not know why I strayed. Now I am just going to wait till my line is up again (self inflicted punishment), I could up one of my other 2 lines and get a new phone but figure I will wait till they bring in a true killer phone with:

1.5+ dual/Quad core S4 or better

1+ Gb of RAM

32 Gb of storage

HD display (true 720P)

8MP+ camera

HDMI

4G LTE

Should be a while for Verizon to get one like that as they like to only get mid range phones and sell them at premium prices.

Congrats on #500
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
You'll have to wait maybe another half a year or more for quad core and 4G to be combined together. Also, it seems that HTC is thinking Unibody is cool and making their phones with that. That is if they stay with that style. Samsung or Moto for me unless HTC stops unibody.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Hey.. that is just about my Rezound.. only 1.5 Dual Core S3, 16Gig internal, but I got the rest :)
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
How is the Rezound? When I get a couple replacements for the Revo I might try and get the Rezound.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Umm LG released the src for it a long time ago ;) No not ICS src but thats because there is no ics for this device 'officially'!!!

I have RIL working on the esteem now and now working on getting it working a lil smooter n not so laggy, along with wifi etc etc.

I am only one man and only can do so much ;)

But when I get it a lil better on the esteem I will be porting it over. ;)
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Looks like I'll have to stick around with this phone a little longer then for some CM love.
[LG Revolution] Darthchaz:
Awesome!!!!! I am so glad you are still working on this:D I am waiting with baited breath for your results. Keep up the good work!!
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Awesome news PG.. you are one man but you are one helluva man :D

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Sorry for the off-topic post here but I love it so far. Only bad part is Sense. Hate it. Got some good ROMs for it but anxiously waiting CM9 and/or AOKP which ProTekk is close to a working RIL. Otherwise I am on a leaked stock firmware but rooted, S-Off, and patiently waiting for CM9/AOKP.

Nobody has bought my Revolution as of yet but with this news I may hang on to it for a bit!! :)
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
Toying with my emotions, can it be... 1 million internets to you sir.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
No 4G is a non-starter for me personally, which is ultimately what makes this phone worth while. As far as which company to bet on moving forward, I think the safe bet is going to be Moto. With Google purchasing Moto-mobile, you should start seeing devices that actually behave if they intended.

If Google can't get Android right on their own devices, it's time to jump ship from Android completely...
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
I think Google said they are going to keep moto separate to allow all manufacturers and equal opportunity so they will have very little influence if any on Motorolas phones...
[LG Revolution] threevolve:
Yeah, they say that. Google is a business, and profit is rule #1. You can bet that they will oh-so-subtly be encouraging Moto devices. We'll see.

[LG Revolution] threevolve:
An unconfirmed rumor of a broke Chinese manufacturer wanting to buy a multibillion dollar mobile handset outfit? Please, tell me more. -eyeroll-
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Not sure about dead dead but I just had a new baby and finished up a semester of school and also started a new day job so I just haven't had time for any new contributions. Also my testing phone is in an awkward state with ext4 partitions and an ext4 recovery but we have no actual working ext4 roms (my ics rom included). So I have to do a bit of work to even get back to regular testing.

That said I am not "done" with this phone by any means and also things have settled down in my life a bit and I won't sign up for any more classes until fall at the earliest.

Taking all that into consideration, this is something I do for fun and probably most other devs do it for fun too so you really just have to see what developers and hackers put out and be happy with that. When there are expectations about what will be released in the future then it just becomes a job that doesn't pay very well. My rate in the real world is good so I don't really need this type of open source "internship" if you will. I just want to give you all some insight into a developer's thought process on this type of thing. In other words just be happy with what is out already and hope, but don't expect, for new contributions.
[LG Revolution] Darthchaz:
Just having devs working on this is great. I've had phones with no dev support and it sux. Thanks for all the hard work guys!!!!!!
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Glad to see some work on this still. I haven't made the jump to cm9 on the Nexus yet but the stock ICS is amazing and am really happy with the unrooted experience.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Wait. You're telling me you have the Nexus but you're still only running stock ICS? No offense but, HOW can you not root the Nexus and not put CM9 on it! You have to be missing out on so much! You should send that phone my way and I'll put the phone to good use :D
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I know I know. I will get to it maybe this weekend. I'm wanting to make sure everything is all good. Don't want to root and then need to return it for something wrong with this phone lol.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
True true. Once you do put CM9 on it check a look at this amazing mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222 or just use Theme Manager since the Nexus community probably already made it since CM did.
[LG Revolution] Darthchaz:
Does the spectrum getting ics help those of us on the revo?
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Probably not no. Different phones with different hardware.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Nope, it'd be easier to port than say from The Galaxy S2 or the Htc Thunderbolt but different hardware than our phone. The Esteem would be the easiest to port from but ICS isn't doing too much better than we are.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
just from a cherry picking of non-device specific files build.props etc. Now when the src drops the kernel maybe able to get ported to the esteem/revo.

And like I have said b4, when I get my Esteem CM9 port in a usable state I will be porting it to the revo. The reason I havent done so yet is it makes no sense to me to have 2 diff repos I have to make edits too when the 2 phones are basically the same, but a rom from one wont work on the other, or rather the kernels wont.

;)
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Yeah I understand. Last time I checked on the Esteem CM9 didn't you get RIL not too long ago?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
yup sure did. Working on the display now, well again lol. It was laggy, so I updated the kgsl drivers n working on backporting in the adrenos drivers from the 3.0 kernel.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Glad progress is moving for the Esteem people hopefully soon you get a good enough working build that you could port the stuff over to the Revo.
[LG Revolution] HitMyKush:
I hope to see ics on the revo for my brothers sake. This phone isn't bad stock, from what I've seen, but theres nothing like ics. Droid x2 ics €^_^=
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Hey guys n gals, I submitted CWM to koush today for a official build. And CWM Touch will be available once koush does his thing, or hets his automated stuff completed on builder. finished lol.
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
This is good news, your work is appreciated.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Any news on the build and how it's going?
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
Ditto :fingers-crossed:
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Touch version of CWM would be killer.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
I got my esteem repo compling again n will be putting some time into it this week. I have a Esteem as a daily now too, so I REALLY want CM9 back lol.

I will put a install package together with unofficial Touch, or I can just link the img. ;)
[LG Revolution] :
Thanks for the update can't wait to see CM9 soon but I'll be patient
[LG Revolution] dblkspecial:
Soon?
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
A working usable version probably not soon.
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
dead?

Is this project dead? I really want to see ios on the revo. Maybe with linaro tweaks?
[LG Revolution] The Kraken!:
Haha, I imagine that's just a typo, but ios on an Android phone would be interesting and possibly kinda hilarious. Has anyone ever found a way to do that?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Still working on it, I know it must be discouraging for you guy, I will be porting what I get goin on the esteem over when I have something usble . ;)

Oh yea, as mentioned b4, Unofficial CWM Touch!!! Just replace the img in the AIO you used to install the CWM you are currently using n rename accordlingly. ;)

Unofficial CWM 6.0.0.0 Non-touch!!!
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
yes i meant ics! darn auto correct!
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Is there any way to flash this recovery using fastboot?
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
So I replaced the file on the zv8 -zv9 aio and it no work.... help?
[LG Revolution] slimzim:
Worked like a charm - very cool! Thanks PlayfulGod! :D
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
problem everytime i try.. it either says it pushed it but goes into old cwm or i get permission denied on mmcblk14 and /data/local/temp/sh all after changing permissions for them to rwxrwxrwx.... any help please? i soooooo want this!
[LG Revolution] The Kraken!:
I don't even remember what I was trying to say now, but a few days ago autocorrect made me text "I'm such a garden."
[LG Revolution] :
Worked flawlessly for me brother, thanks so much! CWM Touch is awesome!
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I was able to install CWM touch, but when I boot into it, the menu appears and disappears, very flaky. Did several reboots and it did the same thing each time.
[LG Revolution] :
yeah I am getting this as well.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
So at this point it would be worth waiting until this issue is fixed?
[LG Revolution] :
if you demand perfection in CWM then yeah but otherwise it works fine enough
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I found if I reboot into recovery from the power button as opposed to quickboot and let it sit for a minute after it boots into recovery, it is fine.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Yea I noticed that too. I have submited it to koush for a official build, so hopefully his magic fixes those small issues. I dont have no control over the touch src and had to build it on builder.clockwork
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Thanks for providing this though. The touch is so much nicer, especially since it is a touch device.
[LG Revolution] JohnnyAn:
This is amazing! Thanks so much. CWM touch is awesome! Easy to install, took me less than ten minutes, and it works perfectly.
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
Well it seems as though iam getting no help over at the general section. Any advice from the dev's over here?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
advice on???
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
You're a god, you should just know silly... :D:eek::D
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
On getting the cwm to actually push... I've renamed it and used all the aio 's and either it says it pushed and reboot to old recovery or I get permission errors on dvblk14 or /data/local/temp/sh ecenter after changing permission on both. BTW my revo would not be worth a damn without the work u guys do. Thanx alot.
[LG Revolution] :
I'm thinking you might not have proper root access...I lost full root after flashing BO 2.0 and had to re-root to fix....try downloading Root Check from the market and let me know what it says....
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
For those having issues installing cwm, try this:

1) Download the cwmrecovery.img to your SD. (As PlayfulGod stated, download and rename to 'cwmrecovery.img'.)

2) Use root explorer to copy or move it to the /data/local/tmp directory (make sure permissions are set to r/w/exe).

3) Launch terminal emulator and type these commands:

su

mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system

mount -orw,remount /dev/block/data /data

dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096

rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null

4) exit terminal emulator and then reboot into recovery.

Good luck.
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
I got it to install. Apparently changing permissions with file explorer wasn't working. Had to do in terminal emulator. Now when I go into recovery itll come on then the screen goes in and out. Also when idle the screen comes on and turns off randomly.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Others have reported that as well.
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
I saw that. I understand that it's developmental and unofficial. Just reporting problem. Thinking on trying the terminal emulator way hoping for different outcome. Will report in a few.
[LG Revolution] Obsidian_soul:
Flashed on my Revolution just now, worked perfectly. Thanks alot man
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
Well it does the same with adb method. Gonna flash back to factory with lgnpst and see if it could be because of remnences of the old cwm install that could be causing it to reboot recovery. (I imagine that's What's happening) will report findings once accomplished.
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
Just found my old revo in a box. Thought I'd stop by and ask how things are going with cm9?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
I'm still fighting with it. :silly:
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
a fight well fought
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
The op correct as far as progress?
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Not really. Playful has been talking about his port which is different.
[LG Revolution] G4 Man2:
And how's that port doing?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Yup but should be a easy crossover once I have it working better. ;)

being a pitfa ;)
[LG Revolution] :
Hate to say it but CWM Touch is pretty much unusuable. Screen goes blank again and again before I have a chance to make any menu selections....any update coming that might fix that issue?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Try rebooting to recovery from Rom Toolbox. I have no issues when I do it that way. Backed up my system last night, reflashed my Lunar theme for final checks before releasing to the public, and now about to test my stock kernel.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
I will see what I can do
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Official CWM & Touch available via ROM Manager now!!! ;)
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
so i opted to get it from the site but when i go to download it just goes to a page with a whole lotta characters? does someone possibly have the image to upload here or a link?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Just dl'd both from the website and it worked fine.

cwm recovery 6.0.1.1

cwm recovery touch

If you keep getting garbage, then try right clicking and choosing save as
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
dam internet explorer! well i got it on firefox though... cant wait to see if this one is more stable than the last. lol

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

i must say... VERY NICE!!! did it with terminal emulator... simple and its just flippin awesome! now all my revo is missing is the beloved ice cream sandwich... thanks to all the devs making this phone a phone and not a paper weight
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
IMHO, cwm touch is still unusable. Even though it's official, it still restarts constantly. I would suggest to anyone wanting to upgrade, stick with the non-touch. Works flawlessly.
[LG Revolution] :
Yeah I can confirm, CWM Touch 6.0.1.1 still flashing on and off on the screen. Maybe not as much but it's still happening...
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
I can also confirm that. Back to touchless....
[LG Revolution] capt730:
What are the differences between what we have now and the 6.0.0.1?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
it can be installed via ROM Manager, be recognized by RM n its features used, available ROMs can be added n installed via RM, and umm its purdy??? lol

If youre not a RM user, then no real need to upgrade. ;)
[LG Revolution] capt730:
well if it's purdy, then i'm sold lol
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I thought ROM Manager doesn't work for the Revo and only causes bricks. Did something change?
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Not sure what changed, but it is in the drop down list when you go into "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Come on ppl. :) ;) it's called 'Official' for a reason. :)
[LG Revolution] rruleford:
i would hope by official it meant no prollems.... guess not...lol
[LG Revolution] lMonsterl:
anyone have the kernel that was used in the op? obviously the links dead for the rom

I also only have about half of the proprietary files from the phone. Not sure if it's due to the 2.3.6 version of what. Anyone else working on this besides pg?

EDIT: got the proprietaries
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
Grab mt's revolution kernel repo from github ;)

I dont remember if I have forked it or not.

[LG Revolution] meabrams:
Was wondering if any one has heard of any progress updates on this project?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
According to AF, PG tweaked something and now the screen is pink. lol. but before that, things were going good. just a little sluggish. too sluggish to be a daily driver.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
this be true, and not had the time to really work on it lately, friggin bills lol. Hoping to get to spend some time on it this week/weekend.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Sucks how life always has to come first. lol :)

Can't wait for the pink to go away. (save the ta ta's edition) ;) Thanks for all the hard work.

I'm working on a kernel now and, this ain't easy. So yea, thanks again.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
fun huh? lol
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
You should ask my wife that. (In home beta tester) :D lol
[LG Revolution] :
any further updates to CWM that might fix the CWM screen flash issue?
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
if you are referring to the touch version, no not yet.
[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
hey PG, saw on your wiki that you were making progress on the esteem rom. just wanted to know if your close enough to release to port it to the revo.
[LG Revolution] PlayfulGod:
I am hoping I am close anyhow lol ;)

That's the ticket!

That did the trick for me. Thanks! :)

I'm working on CM7/9 for the Esteem and stuck at the same spot basically, boots first time to the lockscreen then goes into a bootani loop.

Would love to colaborate to help us get it working on both the revo n esteem. ;
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Great! I think we should work together as much as possible. Check out my post from yesterday on page 2 of this thread. I outlined two possible ways of getting hardware acceleration working correctly, which I believe is what is keeping us at the lock screen.

Looking forward to sharing info/code!
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Update: I've cloned PlayfulGod's esteem tree @ https://github.com/playfulgod/android_device_lge_esteem.

Just wanted to say thanks for working on this. I'm sure it has its frustrating moments and its moments of joy! Keep up the good work. If you need testers don't hesitate to holler....

Thanks again.
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
The current plan regarding collaboration with esteemed Esteem developer PlayfulGod is to create one set of makefiles which will be usable for both devices. We will simply add a _vs910 to the brunch command.

Our new brunch command will be: bryce_vs910. I'll update the build instructions on the 1st page of this once the new makefiles are up.
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
No problem! We'll definitely need testers. At the moment there is only one major goal of getting past the lock screen, but once we accomplish that we will need testing in order to account for all the things that are broken.

For anyone interested in testing, it'd be super helpful for you to look up how to get a logcat, if you don't already know how to do this. There are a few apps on the store that allow you do to this from the device. You can also do it using adb if you have the android SDK. The logcat output will be invaluable in sorting out all the other issues that are sure to come up once we get past lock screen and get the touch screen working.
