I wonder when is L9 II section going to be created here on XDA?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
So I happen to be the owner of this LG D605 (known as L9 II). I also had the L9 I in my hands for a while. I have to say I liked the back cover of L9 I more but L9 II is smaller so it fits in my hands better.

Regarding performance I remember scoring over 14k on AntuTu benchmark (GPU test scored a lot and this phone, it lost points only in multitasking benchmark when compared with quad-core smartphones). I can post some benchmark screenshots later if you want.

RAM could really be a little bit higher (with this stock bloated LG ROM, I guess it would be ok with CM or AOSP or whatever). Sometimes OOM-killer gets my launcher when I browse the net or play games so I have to wait some time before my UI appears again when I press Home button.

I also think the loudspeaker is on a little bit quiet side when compared to L9 I but this is not a big problem - it's still loud enough and the sound is clear. Only thing I don't like about the speaker is how it is positioned - when you hold the phone in horizontal orientation you will find yourself covering the speaker a lot which is annoying.

Lack of backlight on the touch-button panel doesn't bother me - I didn't have problems operating this phone in the dark. It is easy enough to hit these touch buttons anyway.

Overall good phone, other than this RAM size and loudspeaker location problem I don't have any problems with it. Dead Trigger 2 on High graphics setting is going smooth enough for me.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Ilxaot:
That's a heck of a first post. Welcome to XDA, and thanks for the info. (:
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
As promised - attached are benchmark screenshots (this was done using AnTuTu X benchmark).
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Spitras:
Bought this phone couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely agree with you Varcain. Despite of few cons this phone is amazing for that price range, performance is good, screen is the same as many high-end devices and i am having absolutely no trouble playing latest games like Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger, etc... :)

I am just wondering when individual forum section will be available for this device on xda forums, where people with same phones could share their thought and someone even maybe will start developing custom roms for it? :D

And one more thing. Do you guys think this phone can get latest Android KitKat version? It would be even more awesome :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] kambo12:
I have it too and I agree with you guys. Phone is very fast and smooth. Games working perfect on high or max details. Phone dimensions with 4.7 inches display are awesome. I just wonder that it will get official android 4.4 and xda forums will have section L9 II and someone give us CM or something else. It has potencial and i think it will not be wasted. Oh, I almost forgot, anyone know how to root it?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] haki.gr:
I've owned this phone for a month now. It arrived at retail sores in Greece at the very attractive price of 249 euros. It's the most compact smartphone featuring a 4.7" display which is amazingly bright, with excellent color-rendering. The 2150 mah battery lasts twice as long as the Optimus G that I had. The camera produces very satisfactory images and the LED flash is bright enough to light a small room. The chipset is powerful enough for an unexpectedly smooth operation, probably more so than the S4 Mini wich had left me with mixed feelings probably because of the heavy Samsung interventions. Plastic is of a good quality, the paintjob is excellent and the device is made in Korea.

Here are screenshots of scores in Atutu and Quadrant, plus a samples of photos in Auto mode and in HDR.

I have got this phone cca 4 days. It is bit big for me but hope that I will like it :)

My previous phone was smaller and had less RAM, so this one is much faster and everything working much better.

Anyway, I am interesting to root it and remove some LG soft because, I prefer clean android. So looking forward to someone find way how to root it.

Is there any way how to remove qslide panel in notification area?

Is there any way how to hide labels of icons which are located at bottom of each home screen?

thanks

This dev is set to 1.2GHz by deff so you need root to set it up to 1.4 and gov is cfg so i change it to noop and also in ram menager i did some tweaks now i got 16K and phone is super fast man, also i need to set up swap and it will be perfect. Comeparing to l9 I it is much beter with this soc and gpu ram could be 1.5 at least heheheh :D :D so hope wee will se forum for this dev soon :D by

Good news:

I managed to get service working which means I can actually make calls and stuff with this rom now. After I get some of the more important things done I might release a beta ROM image for you guys to play with.

Also, since I completely see no point in overwriting LG ROM yet - I will post instructions on how you can dual boot original ROM with my CM port rom using recovery image and properly partitioned SD card. This is the method I am using right now since I don't want to replace original LG rom just yet.

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
Sorry, I got what you meant (90%) but the grammar was a bit confusing. So you are saying by default the device is clocked at 1.2? How is that possible?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] AlenKing:
Really sry. Yup its locked at 1.2. If you see spec for our SoC it says 1.2 is max but LG clocked it to 1.4 so am runing it at 1.4 now and its great much faster than TIOMAP dual on L9 I ;)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
Every D605 device is clocked at 1,4 GHz, by default in stock kernel. I don't know what you are trying to say. The CPU freq scaling governor will set to a maximum of 1,404 GHz to be exact and no modifications are needed to achieve this frequency.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
Thats what I was thinking, its clocked at 1.4, why do you think its 1.2?

What might be a little confusing is that there are 2 versions of the dual-core snapdragon 400.

Dual core Krait 300 CPU at up to 1.7GHz per core

Dual core Krait 200 CPU at up to 1.2GHz per core

Which means that the cores of L9 II are Krait 300. But in some specs it says Krait 200, which doesnt make sense because its only up to 1.2GHz. Unless it would be possible for LG to overclock Krait 200 cores to 1.4. Im not sure if thats possible so which cores do we have? :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
Lol, its easy to understand, most of the times overclock is around 200 mhz, so 1200+200 is 1400 mhz. That means our phones are already overclocked, and that is the reason why the frikking battery goes low SO FRIKKIN FAST!

I am goingbto root in about an hour, set my processor clock to 1.2 Ghz.

I could be a tester of CM then Varcain, you said you had a lack of hardware to test the build on ;)

Also, I dont have any idea why LG has set the ram limit to 768Mb, and the soft is using about 480-500 Mb of it, leaving so much Ram unused. I guess that is the reason why Gta SA runs so smooth on my friend's S2 on maximum graphics (60 fps), and on mine it runs about 30 fps on medium.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
A) The system is uning too much

B) The size of allocated memory is small

Multitasking is not good...

Sent from my flying car
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
100% agreed.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
Just to clarify - LG didn't set ram limit to 768MB, out of 1GB some memory (up to 308 MB) is reserved for GPU/DSP stuff (keywords ION, PMEM, GPU buffer memory). This memory is used but it's not available to users, i.e. programs (to ensure kernel drivers will have enough memory, it's ok if applications run out of it but not so good when kernel stuff does).

Only way to get more multitasking out of our device is to finetune zRam (aka compcache) usage and remove bloat via non-stock ROM. Swap is another option but it wears out emmc/sd card.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
So how then S2 makes it alive without that limitation? Strange...

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Also for SixAxis you need some kind of HCI libraries under bluetooth. It also has something to do with kernel. Usually CM roms support SixAxis ;)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
This is the first time I heard the "battey goes low so frikkin fast". For most of the users it can do 2+ days with moderate usage. The battery life is above average.

As Varcain already said, there is no limit on the RAM, I have no idea where did you get that from. The UI is taking a lot, thats true but its running smoothly.

Also I dont belive you can run SA on max on S2 at 60fps, just no.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
Hold home button -> task manager -> do simple math, x=1000-(used+free)

x is the ram not available at all.

And yeah, s2 pretty much amased me too ;) I couldnt believe my eyes too, but the eyes showed 60 fps ;)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
As Varcian already said: "LG didn't set ram limit to 768MB, out of 1GB some memory (up to 308 MB) is reserved for GPU/DSP stuff (keywords ION, PMEM, GPU buffer memory)." What you are seeing as "total" memory available is around 800mb. Physically the phone has 1GB ram, but system/gpu are taking the 200mb, you dont see this because you cannot and never will be able to use it. Technically, 800mb is available to you, but of course the UI is taking its part, and you are left with 250-300mb free.

And how does he know its running at 60fps?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
God, you think I am stupid and see posts on my own?

We COMPARED our phones running the same game, can't you understand?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
I dont understand what you mean.. You said that X is not available at all, that because X is being used by system/gpu and you have no control over that. Before you said the phone had RAM limit of 768MB.

And the game shows actual FPS or you have FPS counter built in your eyes or how does it work?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] LiudvikasLTU:
By "ram limit" i meant "User accessible ram limit".

No, there was no counter, but by eye, I could tell S2 was much more smoother than my phone, even with everything maxed out.

S2 has more app accesible ram (way more than our 150mb), so I guess that is why, because all GTA's on android like eating ram quite a lot.

On Cyanogen mod our phone would perform better, that's for sure.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:
Well maybe thats the tax we have to pay for a smoother UI, unlike the samsungs laggy touchwiz. In case we dont get 4.4 on your phone, with CM we can get 4.4? And its features? Like the better RAM managment and actually lower requirements? Like it should run on 512+ RAM without problems?.

Ive never used CM before so I have no idea.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
The CM version Varcain is porting is Jellybean not KitKat. So we need to wait a little. Also I asked LG and they have no data when LG L9 II will be sold in US... :,( They also said that I should ask it from carrier...

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
Samsung Galaxy SII is Samsung Exynos SoC while our L9 II is Qualcomm Snapdragon, this means drivers and hardware are completely different. From experience in embedded SoCs technology I can tell that if is this is the case (i.e. RAM is not reserved/limited ahead of time like on our L9 ii) then GPU is making use of MMU (Memory Management Unit) which allows dynamic memory allocation for its use. Not all SoCs allow this for GPUs and it looks like Snapdragons can't do it (I didn't verify it yet). This still means chip magic happens and it is using RAM but it's not pre-allocating large chunk of memory ahead of time. Not allocating things dynamically is not neccesarily a bad thing since kernel can know ahead of time how much or RAM it needs to sacrifice for peripherals and we can be sure it will not fail due to memory problems (as long as drivers are OK). Also skipping MMU is theoretically faster (we remove "man in the middle" from the chain).
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Sh4d0Wx:

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Varcain:
At the moment I am fighting with RIL because currently SIM card is not detected properly - this means mobile data doesn't work yet. I will check if mobile hotspot works out of the box but if it isn't then I will leave it for later (it's low priority compared to other stuff that needs to be done).

Beta release depends on when I will manage to get audio working. I managed to get sim card detection more or less working (through *VERY* dirty hack). Now mobile data works (3G/3.5G also) but CM RIL implementation is not 100% correct, there are some minor bugs (manual selection of carrier networks doesn't work - only auto, also sim contacts import doesn't work, I expect PIN/PUK handling is messed up but I didn't test it yet). It looks like LG made this phone very custom (even baseband is different from other LG phones). Check my android_device github tree and look for commit like "Initial working audio" - if it appears you can expect beta release within reasonable time.

I also found out LG might "cheat" on benchmarks with this model. Thermal daemon cpufreq limiting is more strict during benchmarks on my CM port than with stock rom even though thermald configs are exactly the same.

You guys have to wait for working audio otherwise there is completely no point in releasing this ROM (impossible to have phone call conversation without audio - basic phone feature!). Also keep in mind this will be full of bugs and "incomplete" compared to stock rom. I don't have that much spare time to spend on this stuff to get it 100% perfect.

I played Asphalt 8 and Dead Trigger 2 on my CM port - it works and it's smooth.

Don't exactly know what he wants to say with that, but i think he will work as hard as possible to provide us with a almost complete working CM port.

Take a close look on all those ROMs out there. There are almost always little problems, glitches and workarounds.

As long as i can use the main functions of my phone i will be happy. Don't need this IR remote feature and quickmemo is nice but i never use it at all!

Just think about what you really need to have working without fatal errors and you will see, there is no need to have a 100% perfect ROM ;)

it is possible to remove Qslide, in system/app search LGSystemUI.apk and then find floating_launcher.xml file in res/layout
