Any Developer Interest?

shockaholic · Mar 2, 2012

I realize that few if any ROM developers have this device. I am willing to donate a LG Spectrum to a developer that would have serious interest in developing for it. I don't mind taking one for the team as long as it goes to good use!

First off...shockaholic, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...

I previously posted a "quote" from pm's between myself and Nitro, the developer of the Eclipse ROM, wherein he stated he would bring Eclipse to Spectrum if we could get a device in his hands. I'm contacting him now...

Check out what he has said about developing for Spectrum http://rootzwiki.com...t-of-potential/

Nitro's Eclipse ROM's are super stable and increase battery life tremendously. My Bionic and Charge would regularly go 13-14 hours on Eclipse ROMs. If you get a Spectrum in his hands get ready and hang on tight cause its gonna get fun around here and our devices are gonna turn into BEAST's!

Please, oh please, God let this be real!

I sent Nitro a pm on his forum a few minutes ago inquiring about his interest in developing for the LG Spectrum. If he's up for the challenge, I'll get him a Spectrum by the first of the week!

Holy guacamole!!!!!! Have I told you lately that I love you? Well...I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL...

Ive got $50 ready for Nitro the second hes on board.

I'm coming from a Droid 2, so it'll take me a bit to get used to the differences with the phones, but I'll look into building CM9 for my new Spectrum if there's interest.

real0325 · Mar 2, 2012

hellz yeah there is interest. that would make two dev's to take the spot light because this by far is the best phone out.

Ampix0 · Mar 2, 2012

A friend of mine mentioned something called android kitchen. I know nothing about it but apparently it's a dummy's ROM builder. So with an unlocked bootloader.. ill need to take a look at it.

Or if anyone knows any tutorials for people who want to get started.

MrB206 · Mar 2, 2012

My Spectrum just arrived, so I'm going to start playing with it.

It shouldn't be too hard to get CM9 working with it. The main issue is always hardware compatibility, so I'll extract the device files and see what I can do

real0325 · Mar 2, 2012

let us know how we can help.

MrB206 · Mar 2, 2012

Man, you guys weren't kidding.. this thing is a beast. The copious amounts of VZ bloat is a tad disheartening, though.

shockaholic · Mar 2, 2012

I've been emailing with Nitro and I'm sending him a Spectrum on Monday for him to mess around with.

nitroglycerine33 · Mar 3, 2012

As soon as I get it I will start building a recovery for it and get the spectrum rolling!

Hmmm maybe I will upgrade now... Deffinetly the best choice on vz hardware wise.. Just needed some development

Neph · Mar 3, 2012

Nitro, recovery is built. I will be posting it in just a moment.

nitroglycerine33 · Mar 6, 2012

Got the phone! Time to get to work!

MrB206 · Mar 6, 2012

Is it possible to get a recovery that more user friendly? The existing one seems a bit too advanced for most users.

shockaholic - did you get my email the other day?

shockaholic · Mar 9, 2012

I got the one where you said you got the phone and you were starting work. Is that the same one you're talking about? I'm definitely ready for some good stuff on the Spectrum. It's just been sitting on my desk since I got it and just been using the Galaxy Nexus until we get this thing cooking!

MrB206 · Mar 9, 2012

Nitro, do you know an easy way to get a device rep for the Spectrum? I cloned the 990 and applied the VS920 files, but I'm getting build errors. There's no extract script I can find.

What error are you getting during the build?

nitroglycerine33 · Mar 9, 2012

Looks like the prebuilt is not getting copied over. Do you have a get prebuilts script to copy them over?

MrB206 · Mar 9, 2012

Not sure. To give you some background, I have a CM7 repo and cloned the 990 folder in devices; there's already a prebuilts folder in the repo. I think there's A LOT missing, though, because other LG devices have far more data and sub-folders. My guess is I need to clone a different folder, but I wanted to copy one that was most similar to our phone.

*Edit* if you're talking about prebuilt.mk in build/core, yes, that's there.

MrB206 · Mar 10, 2012

I had to tweak the shit out of the other device repos, but I believe I'll have a bootable version of CM7 for the vs920 shortly. Anyone want to test?

MrB206 · Mar 10, 2012

Anyone that wants to test it, please let me know. I have a test build compiled and uploaded to my server. I don't have cwm on my phone to flash/test yet.

WaVeS · Mar 16, 2012

I don't have CWM on my phone yet. I'll give it a shot if Neph can talk me through loading CWM.

Hollywoods14 · Mar 16, 2012

any new updates on progress?

Neph · Mar 16, 2012

http://androidforums.com/spectrum-all-things-root/512151-one-click-updated-lg-spectrum-all-one-pkg-root-cwm-touch-recovery-unroot.html - For the scripted installer

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20439-cwm-touch-recovery-for-lg-spectrum-ported-from-koushs-release-for-nitro/ - Read thru the entire first post before playing with the installer. There is a bit at the bottom of the first post which is important. You will want to place the file on your SDcard before you get CWM recovery installed.

WaVeS · Mar 16, 2012

Wait, so I can't use the CWM to flash a rom yet?

MrB206 · Mar 16, 2012

You can and it works perfectly for nandroids, but I haven't finished any roms yet (nor has anyone else). We don't know if flashing a rom will wipe out cwm, though that seems to be the consensus.

nitroglycerine33 · Mar 16, 2012

Flashing a rom will not wipe out clockworkmod. As long as the recovery is removed from the ota_from_target_files in the build tools you will be good. I assume you are talking about a source based rom?

I am going to have an OEM based rom out in a few days for people to play with.
