Cyanogenmod for L90

So I was browsing some sites a few minutes ago and I found this ---------> http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-lg-l90-lg-d415-t2871371 Considering the L90 is practically the same device as LS740, and the same CWM recovery is used, is it possible that we can use this CM11 ROM for the LS740?
[General Questions and Answers] Ph0enix_216:
I don't know, every ROM comes with a custom boot image built specifically for that device based on a stock kernel. Flashing ROMs for a device that is different from your own sounds like a good way to brick your phone, even with a stable recovery.

Quick Remote

Hey all, I was a bit curious last night as I was trying top flash or install the G3 version of the quick remote. Unfortunately, it failed and now I don't have a quick remote app. I found an apk to install, but i can get past the EULA agreement screen since there isn't a checkbox to touch in order to get to the app. Any suggestions?

Battery life with the V4 update while using ART
[General Questions and Answers] Rasa11:
I've been thinking of trying to use ART ,

So are you saying battery life is even better while using it?

As it stands now, I've never seen a phone battery last as long as my Volt does, (last forever) lol

but I'm always willing to further increase that time if possible. :P
[General Questions and Answers] monsieur_beau19:
Yes. I wouldn't say it's a very significant increase, but it does use the battery efficiently, as well as improve speed. The image I attached was with moderate usage. I have yet to do a comparison between usage and between Dalvick and ART. However, today I will try to use it in high usage to see how much battery I can get.

This was also using battery saver at 30% too.

http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-restore-phone-with-dl-mode.861292/

this method worked for me. afterwards i made a nandroid backup and then was able to update to V4 with root. i forget how i was able to flash root i think i did it with a zip file. its all on XDA and google.

oh. root with towelroot after downgrading to V3, then after installing custom recovery nandroid, then find the root zip. again its somewhere.

now my question is who is going to do custom kernel development?

roms can me copied fairly easily over your stock system. i want voltage control. i want this phone to be as fast as my GS4 and as efficient as a flip phone.

CWM Recovery

The recovery image is in this link---------->http://androidforums.com/threads/working-cwm-recovery.880181/<--------------

Use flashify (Simplest method), which you can download from here------------->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify<----------------

Open Flashify. Then, it will ask you for root permissions. Afterwards, click on zip image (or recovery, whichever you fancy) and find the file you downloaded from Google Drive. Once that image is loaded, click okay (or if you want to flash something else, you should do so now) and your device should reboot.

I'm really looking forward to this CM11 coming to the Volt. However, I wonder if it's possible to keep certain apps like quick remote and quick memo (LG apps I use frequently) in the process of this build. I wouldn't mind be the guinea pig in this test, but I'll have to purchase another micro sd card before that happens.

[General Questions and Answers] QuickNET Tech:
First off let me apologize for being a noob here.

I have a lot of experience with technology in general and love Android. I root pretty much every device with 1-click apk such as towelroot. However that no longer works when I got this phone for $0 from boost mobile (it came packaged with v4).

I have no experience flashing zips, roms, etc from a computer. (everything I've done has been strictly on the mobile devices themselves, from rooting to backing up and restoring and everything else). If someone could please dummify the process of downgrading to v3, rooting, and then flashing v4, it would be greatly appreciated. I ask for a dumbed down version simply because I cannot afford a new phone and I am afraid of bricking this device by being stupid and trying to do something I know I am incapable of. So instead I decided to be a little wiser and came here for help. Once again, I apologize for being a noob , I only wish to learn, not to be a drag on the society.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

This seems like a concise step-by-step that should cover everything. That will also work as a primer on how to unbork your device and roll back to stock -- basically a cure-all for all your software ills. The more you know.

The ZV3 .TOT file you need to flash is about 1.2gb is size. And the ZV4 debloated ZIP that is linked to in that post is about the same size. The rest of the requirements are trivial in size.

One question to you and everyone else. Is there a twrp for this device. Going back to cwm is no fun once you switched to twrp and your used to it. (Or at the very least a touch based cwm if no one has built twrp for this device)

Also, my system ui kept crashing when I used the "Notification Heads Up" module in xposed, can anyone else duplicate this? GravityBox does the trick, it enables it without issue but I haven't seen any notifications, will edit later with my findings.

Yes, the TWRP listed at Androidforums is functional enough, I believe it's 2.8.1, which is worlds better than any CWM. I tested the backup/restore on it, and it seemed to work pretty good (each time some minor things weren't restored, but mostly useful).

I'm just sending my ls740 off to LG for service, and soon as it comes back I'll have the latest TWRP 2.8.3.x ready tootsweet. I wish XDA would get a Volt forum setup here, having just a single thread is bullshot.

[General Questions and Answers] robles4242:
Hey guys. I have a couple questions and in wondering if anyone can help me out! First off, I have a Virgin Mobile LG Volt that is Rooted with towelroot and i did not update firmware from 3 to 4 because i heard it erases root, and you cannot root the 4 once you updated. I have removed all the bloatware ,and I only downloaded a handful of apps which most of them i was able to move to my 16GB SD card. For some reason my phone is laggy and runs slow. I restart it frequently and always kill running apps with Advanced Task Killer.

Is there any way to make my phone run smoother and faster? I know we could not install custom ROMs in the past, and Im not sure if we can now or not. If we can, would someone please send a tutorial link to me, or tell me know how to do it? Im not exactly sure 100% of what a custom ROM is or has feature wise, if they have over clocking or not, are debloated or any of that. Ive never installed a custom ROM before. I was told Android was the best platform because its open source and you do almost anything you want to them. I am fairly "tech savvy" so if i find the right place to start i normally do lots of research and learn and teach myself as i go. Im just in need of some basic explaining and a starting point and i may have to ask a few questions along the way but i try my best.

Aside of that, I have a few questions about my Data connections.... Sometimes i see 3G in a circle looking thing, but i get "LTE" a lot. I have never seen "4G" or "4G LTE" before, even tho my area is shown to have it on the coverage map. I always get a sun and it spins alot, im not exactly sure what LTE is or how to get 4G to turn on.

Another thing i am curious about is the infamous "Data Throttle". I assume it is on the server side (virgin Mobile) and I cannot bypass it or somehow disable a data counter or do anything at all about it? I have heard 4G is not throttled, im not sure if thats true or not. I tether alot because we dont have an internet connection at the moment, and 2.5GB comes fast and the speeds after i get throttled are insanely SLOW!! There are alot of Wifi connections available but they are all password protected and Im trying to figure out how to crack or bypass them, on my Android phone and Windows PC. If anyone knows how to do that please school me.

The last big thing i was wondering about is the Wifi Hotspot. I have paid the $5 a day a few times to use it, but thats ridiculous! Every app i have tried so far fails, and i get the. Error message saying im not subscribed to the service. Is there an app that works and can bypass that? Or some way some how to work around that problem?

If someone could please chime in and please help me with these concerns i would greatly appreciate it and youd be doing me a HUGE favor that would actually be helping make my life a little easier, im just working and trying to support my fiance paycheck to paycheck and get somewhere with my life. I mean if i have to i would even offer some fair amount of money just to help me. Thanks everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] QuickNET Tech:
Post number 180 will help you with wifi tethering. Basically you download an app called wifi tether router, it should be about $2.50 in the Play Store, and follow the instructions to set it up properly in post number 180.

The other thing I am able to help you with is the 4G thing. LTE is 4G and its good that you receive a lot of it. Personally I almost never get 4G LTE. The little something is basically showing you when the phone is actually sending and receiving data or when data is sitting idle. The same thing goes for the 3G with the little circle thing. Oh and yes following is done on server side or towers so there is no real way to get around it.

EDIT: if you wish to get to zv4 and maintain root and also open the door for when we get custom ROMs I recommend following the link I will give you and continuing steps from 4 onward

[General Questions and Answers] TimBlake432:
switching carriers?

Does anyone know how to switch over from the boost mobile version of this phone to page plus? Is it even possible?
[General Questions and Answers] QuickNET Tech:
First you have to figure out if your phone is compatible with the network, you do so by checking with the carrier you're trying to go to, then you have to go about unlocking your phone. Once your phone is unlocked, and your sure it's compatible with the network, you can take it to page plus.

Boost Mobile is CDMA so make sure that page plus is as well.

Also you must check what kinds of LTE and 3G each network uses, Sprint uses bands 25 26 and 41 for LTE (unsure of their 3G bands). The more compatible the bands are with your phone and the network the better your signal is going to be on the new network. That is unless page plus is an arm of Sprint, then it's almost guaranteed to work 100%. (never heard of page plus, so I don't know)

The kernel source for that has been out for several weeks, and at least from comparing the ZV4 to the ZV5 kernel, it looks to be all security updates. Though the OTA update is like 200mb+, so there's got to be other updates in there as well (right?).

For those that are having problems with the PC recognizing the volt while bricked, I might have a fix for you.

Install latest USB drivers to computer

Turn phone off

Go to device manager on computer

plug into computer and click on "scan for hardware changes"

----Try to find the device(Either under USB, COM PORTS, OR at the very top of the list under android. )

Right click on device and go to properties.

----it should say that the drivers were not installed.

Click update drivers

Click "search manually", then search for the drivers already installed on the computer.

It then tells you to pick your manufacturer and device model. In the left column click on ADB Google Fastboot Interface and install that driver.

You can now restore with ADB and fastboot. I can go into further detail when I get home if anyone needs me to
