[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
There's really no need for it at this point anyway.

CFX is a performance BEAST.

Rootbox has more features than you'll likely ever use.

If you don't like either of those, g33k3r has incredible builds of PA and AOKP, dvhexer and shelnutt have excellent CM10.1 builds.

Furthermore, we're stating to see more unique roms like Project E.L.E or AvatarRom ported over.

Just chill out, update your RPM/TZ with LGNPST (teenybin [faster] or 20j OTA [more reliable]. Ask freenode IRC #lg-optimus-g how), and flash away.

If you want a nexus 4, I would recommend buying the nexus 4. This conversion has issues you won't have to deal with on the actual device.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] solidus636:
so has anyone used this guide to install the 4.3 nexus OTA yet?

to my knowledge the hardware buttons wouldn't work, right?

everything else should be good?

when converting your LGOG to a nexus 4 ( i havn't done it yet...) is the LGOG then able to install nexus 4 kernels and run them properly or does the kernel need to be updated with the source built for the LGOG? (i don't know much about kernels yet..)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
There shouldn't be a need for that... Stay tuned.

More details to follow,

Cordially,

Future Dwight

http://youtu.be/L3t2BjUjrmo

The only difference is this time, http://youtu.be/BL2PicT9Kng

In all seriousness, stay tuned and stay frosty. My team and I have actually been working on this since before 4.3 was released (started on the kernel a while back since Google used the same base we did conveniently). Just need to update the blobs and either wait for the 10.2 upstream sources or build an aosp build with our repos. We'll keep you posted. If anyone can find a nexus 7 razor (qcom) build, that would help since their sources and binaries are newer and perform better than the n4 ones.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CrawnberyJack:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] helioXverse:
Out of curiosity, what would be involved with flashing Ubuntu touch to a converted lgog if its even possible. I know there are porting instructions to port Ubuntu to any device, but i thought it may be easier to convert to a nexus 4 then just use their official install. Granted the cap buttons probably wouldn't function, I usually disable them in favor of pie anyway.

Also, forgive me if I misunderstand what I have read, but after converting can you flash all files under the n4 forum or do they still need to be altered to work with a converted lgog?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] helioXverse:
Cool, I may convert and give it a shot. let me know if you need any help testing.

Just for clarification though, before I FUBAR my device, can any n4 zip be flashed or should I use the fix (copy framework from ROM and inject into other ROM)

So that it is clear, I was the first one to try this. Please do not take credit for something that was discovered by someone else first. Team Codefire was all over this at the start. The only thing Rohan32 should be getting credit for is that he wrote this thread up. Also, this is not recommended!! I will mess with your partition tables and will also maintain some of the old E970 partitions as well. There are no 2 firmware files for 8GB and 16GB N4's. They are all the same. Once again, do not take credit for something that you did not discover.

How long did it take you guys on first boot up? It seemed to be taking quite awhile the first time, so I went ahead and did the fastboot -w. I'm still waiting now for it to boot, been quite a few minutes.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Depends on how the zip works. I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu, like cm, uses the by name partition scheme to unpack to rather than the specific block number which means it should work. Some use the block number which means your boot would over ride your RPM, leading to a hard brick because our blocks are not used for the same things.

What happen if I flash a nexus 4.3 or 4.2.2 image in replace of the original 4.2 image described here?

Enviado desde mi LG-E970 usando Tapatalk 4
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Same effect although honestly, now that our rpm is compatible, there is no need. Most nexus 4 Roms do work on the att variant assuming the updater script uses the partition name rather than block number. If you want me to, I can look to make sure on whatever ROM you want to flash so you don't hard brick your phone by flashing to the rpm partition.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sahhar1993:
Can any One make a tutorial how to port nexus 4 Roms and kernels

Envoyé depuis mon LG-E975 en utilisant Tapatalk 4
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
Porting the ROMs is "kind of" easy, but still irritating at first, you don't want to port a kernel, even if doing so is possible, as there are plenty of working kernels here, and if you're going to port, you're going to use the boot.img from your base rom (the rom that works for our phone) and delete the boot.img from the port rom (the nexus 4 rom)

I recommend looking through the porting tutorials on the main thread, I warn you, they are a mess, its like half of them is correct and the rest goes completely to $#!+. So read a few of them. The basics are easy enough, you're going to use our vendor and usr folders inside of /system, and delete the nexus ones.

Then you're going to have to make a decision, about the bin/lib/xbin folders, you can try keeping them, since the nexus4 is pretty much our phone, if that goes to hell you can pick and match, depending on your time and sanity reserves, or use our bin/lib/xbin but keep the libandroid_runtime.so from the nexus rom. And I would replace all the subfolders inside /lib with ours also.

From there you need to comb through all the boot.prop and get all the settings from ours in there, like the lte on gsm device, etc, preferred and default network values, so and so forth.

Then you need to dig through the updater-script and keep all the set_permission statements from nexus rom as well as making sure anything from our base also has its correct lines. I'm not going to go into specifics because almost every port tutorial does this already.

Also in the system/etc folder you can dump everything except init.d and permissions FOLDERS <not files> and replace them with ours.

Then swap out all those mako .sh with our geeb ones, and if in doubt, look at the contents with notepad++ and I HIGHLY suggest after you download that, you go to the plugins menu, manage your plugins and download the COMPARE plugin, open your files side by side and it will highlight all lines, and even if they are out of order will show you which lines are slightly different, which are added, and which are deleted.

Which ends up looking a lot more like source or a changelog, and you can edit easier, in my opinion. Some of these steps are pointlessly redundant because the nexus is so close to being our phone, but it'll help if you ever port from a different manufacturer, which I did with the illusion rom. Good luck, and it sucks, but its nice when you get it right. Also, you're going to need to edit the framework-res.apk and replace the storage.xml with ours, lest you want no external sd card once you do get it booting.

That and make sure you get all the fstab values from our rom into the port side. etc etc. Again, good luck.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
I am also planning on doing this. Since I am not an expert can someone confirm that it will not brick my phone? I know there is always a chance but still the partition name v number thing still works for mako 4.3 ?

Update - xboxfanj confirmed it will work!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] defcondev:
I would recommend decompiling framework-res.apk & editing res/xml/storage_list.xml manually & adding the correct strings. If you just drag & drop, your internal storage & external SD card will have random header strings such as "issued by" or "invalid SIM" rather than "internal storage" and "SD Card"

When recompiling framework-res, if it fails & throws invalid config flags, you need to decompile again, using the switch "--keep-invalid-res" switch; so using apktool it would look like

apktool d --keep-invalid-res framework-res.apk

In your decompiled framework-res folder, you'll see folders ending in "-ERR0, ERR1, etc", add the files in those folders to their corresponding folders without "ERR" and then recompile and you won't get invalid config flags.

I hope this helps

I haven't had any issues flashing Nexus 4 ROMs to my e970, especially since our e970's recieved the RPM/TZ partition update & could boot N4 kernels natively.

Granted, for good measure when i remove the Mako getProp asserts from N4 updater scripts i always check the bottom of the script where the boot.img is extracted & confirm it references by name.

Enviado desde mi Optimus G usando Tapatalk 4 Beta
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
There's very little incentive to do this mod these days. Just try houstonn's roms, snowleapord, shelnutt, dvhexher, etc. They're all skilled developers. It'd be easier to just port whatever nexus stuff you want and use teamlgog device repositories to build it yourself.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mathsz:
Plus, you have snow leopard's aosp which is basically stock Google is you're into that. Lots of guides on how to pprt/build, it's not easy easy, but you'll find plenty of help and repository (github) has basically all the answers you need.

The OG certainly could use more devs. The att and nexus 4 share lots of components and you could, (MAJOR CAUTION HERE) flash nexus4 roms if partitions are by name and not numbers.

The n4 conversion has major risks. Do not do it on a whim. Check out all other roms in the forums before you do. There are plenty.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] x-geo:
ah and where is snow leopard's aosp? or what is the best 4.2 rom ? jejeje (i didn't ask that) ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mathsz:
Seriously, I won't flame you. But, these kind of questions are precisely why people get angry around xda. I mean no offense at all.

1-snow's : please, please, please, at least do some research, if you are reading this, you are two clicks away.

2-you laugh is Spanish like. Jejeje. So do you have the international model or AT&T? E975 Roms will not work on att and the contrary applies. 4.2 Roms arer all pretty good. 4.3 is getting better by the day. Search and try. It's part of the fun. I prefer my own aosp for stability. Some prefer features. Have fun with that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] x-geo:
again jajaja... i didnt want to make that question... is only a trolling question.... i didn't want to make anyone angry... i know that question is in some terms... forbidden.. don't worry i didn't take it as an offense

1 I thought snow had 4.2 AOSP.... i was looking and is 4,3... my mistake for not doing further reading..

2 yes my laugh is spanish.. latin spanish exactly....and i have an E970 (AT&T) version... imported.... i got it cheap.... because here in Colombia (Bogota exactly) this type of phone are very expensive.. an international version of optimus g new is around 638 dls a nexus 4 16GB is around 425 dls and not mention new phones like iphone 5s (798dlls) optimus G2 (851 dls) and Xperia z1 (1010 dls)...

i got the fun in search and probe... (CM 10.1 unofficial for E970 with 4.1.2 RPM/TZ or N4 conversion) and some stocks modified by me (i was bored in stock... so poor batt life and so much heat)... i didn't want to cross the line to 4.3 until an official release.. (dreaming jeje).. because there are apps and mods that don't work in 4.3 (and i like so much like xperia walkman)...oops i was extended the theme so much .. sorry about that
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mathsz:
Gotcha. Try aosp by Pauli cat, then cm dvhexer. Snow aosp. They all work well. I prefer aosp. I ported it for Canadian phones.

Some one close this thread before someone does something stupid. If you want N4 ROMs that is pretty easy over all. With some minor hassle you can flash them as is to our phones assuming they have the right partition map in the updater script. If you did not know that you should not be attempting this anyway, its an old method hack that was dangerous at beat when it came out. Granted many of us have tried it but its riddled with problems when you want to come back to lgog ROMs( which at some point you will).
