2 Modifications to make your MetroPCS branded L70 a little better and different from the bunch.

#1

International LG boot and shutdown animations for your pleasure! Took these off my old L9 from T-Mobile which I had unbranded. :laugh: And root is required of course.

System/Media

:good:

#2

Also - if you don't want the stock Metro PCS/T-Mobile "4G" icon and prefer the international "4G" block looking icon then do the following.

Buildprop changes to the following are required (I use ROM Toolbox Pro to edit):

Stock MetroPCS settings should read (only change items in red)

ro.build.target_country

US

ro.build.target_operator

MPCS

Change to the following for different "4G"

ro.build.target_country

CA

ro.build.target_operator

TLS

Reboot and you will have the international 4G icon and you should also see a hotspot icon appear now in the pull-down buttons too :) Added bonus. Took these mods right from my LG Optimus G Pro :)

Make sure to thank me if this helps you!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFrancis:
Just out of curiosity what would be the difference of doing something like:

ro.build.target_country

COM

ro.build.target_operator

OPEN

or other ones like TMO; do this settings affect anything besides the look?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
I tried LG and OPEN and got the 3G/H icon. Didn't like. Let me try COM and OPEN to see what results I get. Stand by....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFrancis:
Still my question remains does this settings only affect the icons and options available in quickremote or also the network?

EDIT: Also I can't seem to find an explanation of what the MLT process does ... I froze it nothing happened
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
COM/OPEN makes the 3G/H icon come up. Reverting back to CA/TLS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
The ro.build.target_country and ro.build.target_operator settings do often change options within the Mobile Networks tab in settings. COM/OPEN doesn't seem to change anything I can see in that area on this phone.

I have a real lead, crutch. I hear some devices use internal as tmp to uncompress the zip. Going to try something new when I get off work. Ill let you know how it went

Sent from my LGMS323
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRaZeR_FuZioNx:
I think I know why you have this problem.

Sorry I was busy, but I can explain it now. The partition scheme need to be set up right in order for a device to correctly assign partitions and the space on them. In your case, the partition scheme may be wrong, so Android may be installing to the wrong partition. I know there is a partition for Android to be installed on, then the internal storage is married to the Android ROM you are installing. Think of it like Windows. You know how it has the space already taken up? That's the system. The internal memory on this phone totals 5 GB. The amount available to us is 1.5 GB. That means, since most builds of Android require more than 900 MB to install (ROM-Wise), when your phone installs to the wrong partition, it takes up all of the memory, then it will leave you with less than half of memory. I'm not a ROM developer, so I don't know how to setup the schemes. But, probably someone like biggiephil or Android Addict or PlayfulGod can help from this moment on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crutchcorn:
Really?! Sweet! Yeah, keep me posted!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
I understand but its pretty hard to get it wrong since the phone lists the partition blocks by name and not just by number.

The problem I'm having is the ROM can't unpack.

Sent from my LGMS323
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRaZeR_FuZioNx:
Oh....

Well, based on what you are telling me, there may be three causes, either CWM is not functioning correctly, the update file is either damaged or corrupted, or the partitions may not me mounted, Confirm you have root, then re-install CWM, then try it again. If that doesn't work, try to mount the system partition. If there is still a problem, try to rebuild the zip, making sure is is done correctly. If it still doesn't work, then it may be the actual phone (as LG likes to lock things down to what the device was mean't for) and there may be no solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
It's looking like the last option. I've rebuilt the zip, checked the mount points, wiped everything etc, mounted, unmounted blah blah. Trying to get hold of the w7 rom dev and see if he had run into the same problems. Going to try to make a .tar and flash in nandroid, hey, it's worth a shot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meer_mortal:
Your stuck on this screen because it's fast boot mode.

When you unlocked your boot loader you would have zero'd out your laf partition to get to fast boot mode.

You will have to restore your laf partition to get into download mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregoriio01:
I tried restore laf but always I look the same even allows me to start my phone or go to the recovery but can you tell how to do it please
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meer_mortal:
connect phone up to your computer with USB debug enabled

open CMD and cd to directory where you laf img is stored on your computer

restore laf through ADB

adb push laf.img /sdcard/

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

That should give you down load mode back
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregoriio01:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meer_mortal:
ok so it looks like you boot partition has been messed up

This is the code that ran..... yes?

:unlock2

cls

echo Backing up boot partition (Grant SU permissions on phone if haven't already)

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img"

adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

echo Erasing boot partition to gain fastboot

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot"

echo Done

echo Rebooting

adb reboot

GOTO find

so going off this there should be a copy of your boot.img on your sdcard.

so restore that to your device and it should boot.

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregoriio01:
I can get the boot.img to my sdcard so I can't use adb, that my phone does not turn on if you have the image boot.img me can pass it thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRaZeR_FuZioNx:
I had this problem in the past, and all you have to do is flash the boot.img. I can give it to you.

Link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6mHoF2lFEk_YWROSUllN1pPZUU/edit

Then after you download it, put it into the folder that has fastboot,

Left Shift + Right Click in that folder, then click open command window here.

Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Then wait, and your phone should work!

If you need laf.img as well, also ask me.

I don't know if this was already addressed or not but I'm really getting annoyed by the whole emulated sd. I have been manually transferring my music, pictures, and other media from emulated to external via root browser, a process that becomes very tedious. My external sd is pretty much a permanent part of my phone with the link2SD process but media keeps going to the emulated and taking up more and more of my precious 1.5 Gig internal memory. Here is a list off goals I wish to resolve to fix this:

1. Add permission to write media to external SD.

2. Remove permission to write media to emulated SD

The whole reason I got an SD card is to store media and apps there instead of hogging up internal space.

Qcom doesn't have one like MTK from what I know. The problem isn't in making out which partition is which but rather the latter one repartioning/editing.

HotSpot

to use your phone as a hotspot you need AirDroid. under tools it have a Hotspot button. it says beta but works perfect. the only problem is that to use it in your laptop you need a vpn connection to route the boewsing to another port because metropcs can detects that you are not browsing from a MetroPCS phone. i have tried severals VPN application and for me the best is SpotFlux. Is freeand works perfectly.

so here i put the steps.

1. open AirDroid.

2 Go to Tool

3. Hit Hotspot button.

4. Choose the name and password for your Wifi hptspot.

5. connect the laptop.(it will says "Limited Connection", is normal)

6. Open SpotFlux and hit connect button if you don't have the autoconnect checked and wait for the app to connect to their server and voila!!!!

I am using NinjaMorph to change them. I see my changes even when using root explorer, so I know they have been modified.
