[EXPERIMENTAL][PORT][RECOVERY][MULTIBOOT]Tassadar's MultiROM v11 for the Optimus V

bigsupersquid · Dec 22, 2011

Okay, this is up now for you brave people to test!
Here's the original thread.
[EXPERIMENTAL] MultiROM v11 (Touchscreen support) - Boot ROM from sdcard

All the important info and how-to-use instructions are in the first two posts of that thread.
If you like it, please go there and click on thanks for Tassadar.

I've given it over a week of testing between v10 and v11 and haven't found a single glitch myself.
So, here you go!
The ported recovery has a kernel compatible with either novatek or hitachi screens, if you're wondering

MultiRom v11 for the Optimus V

Previous links are dead, bite me 4shared
here is twrp, cwm, and multirom installer with a working (for now, bite me androidfilehost too,) download folder
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=317349
I'll post more info later (I'm short on time but said I'd get this uploaded today.)
all you really need to know to make it work is in the original thread. Just use these Optimus V files instead of the ones in Tasssadar's post.

I'll edit this and the second post later with more specific instructions.

FYI: This is not a ROM. This is a recovery, and flashable overlay for your boot.img which allow booting from roms on sd-ext or from internal memory.

Please read the original thread before using.

More later! Enjoy.

Oh, yeah.
Standard disclaimer: Flashing your phone may cause bricking.
Don't blame me, or Tasssadar... Just take proper precautions. As the original thread says, BACKUP! Also, never flash a ROM and recovery at the same time, make sure the first works before you flash the second.

extra info:

you can't mix froyo and gingerbread ROMS unless you flash a Xionia or Xionia Redux anykernel over your boot.img first.
The multiROM uses the boot.img kernel for all the installed ROMs, and most kernels are made for either froyo or gingerbread but not both. Xionia kernels are the only exception to that rule I'm aware of.

I'll link to the xionia kernels later, for now it's just a short warning.

Yay, my old login still works! Downloading now, will test and report on both forums.

Edit:: Just saw my post count. Wowsers! I knew I was a lurker but two and half years and this is my first post here!?

Thanks alot for porting this over to the OV! I'm going to test it out as soon as I have an hour or two. Should make things easier when debugging new builds.

DarkLG · Dec 23, 2011

Going to try this sometime today I'm pretty sure some will find the original thread guide a bit confusing lol

ajones23 · Dec 23, 2011

I'm going to try this over the weekend. It might come in handy for testing builds. Ill try it. Thanks.

unfortunately I'm even wordier than Tasssadar, so when i eventually get time to rewrite the directions and add them to post 2, they probably won't be much more user-friendly.

and it may be a couple days until screenshots and directions show up.

mostly i just wanted the thing up for others to play around with.

True having it up is most important I'll try it sometime today and possibly try making a noob friendly guide if I have some time.

Heeres the guide I made as simple as I could haha:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20654451#post20654451

Nice to see this, good work

By the way, MultiROM Mgr app (in original thread) should work on this device too, but do not use online install/update feature, it is only for LGP500 for now, but I will add support for this phone, too.

Can somebody send me output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" on your phone?

One more thing - show me output of "ls -l /dev/block" please, just to be sure sd-card has same major number.

Thanks. v13 should be compatible with this phone, do full backup before testing however. It is using files by bigsupersquid.

i put this up for grabs more as a public service than a work-in-progress.

just run the roms like you usually would, and post anything that doesn't work right (unless, of course that item is broken in the rom itself)

Raul027 · Dec 25, 2011

Wow, this works nicely.

Tasssadar · Dec 25, 2011

Oh, I forgot something: If first line in Updater in Mgr app is not "Model: LS670/VM670", do not even try it! It means it did not recognize that it runs on different phone.
