[ROM] Custom Stock LG Optimus G Bell E973(10h) / Telus E973(10g) & Rogers E971(10e)

Stock LG Optimus G Bell Variant E973(h)

ROGERS & TELUS in 2nd POST

Since a lot of people will be flashing and trying out new roms, I wanted to make an easy just stock clean version (bare bones)
instead of reflashing the stock image back & then reRooting & then ReFreegee'ing.. So I decided to release to the public as well.
Remember this is not an Enhancement Rom or Fully Customized Rom that's going to make your phone go vroooom. it's just stock
to fall back on.

Thank you for this!! So nice to not have all that silly bloatware.

Just an FYI, I could not flash this using TWRP, had no issues with CWM though.

phone seems alot quicker, the fast dormancy App, does that work with our phones? Or do we have to do it through ADB?

The setting we need to change is on the line 302780?? I think.

I thought ths App only worked with the phone model for the guy who created it?

hey houstonn,

you think this will work on the telus?


I might do one for the telus I did one for Telus but it was with the older [e] version. so I didnt' upload it..
I'll look into the updated OTA version..

The post above, I might for rogers too.. i'm just kinda busy
doing a lot of other testing right now..

Houstonn, I've been using this all day , simply this is what we should get on our devices!!
I can confirm the fast dormancy app does not work for bell devices and telus, I used adb to turn it off, I'll post the link to the instructions I used

I have weeded out a good chunk of the included apps using Titanium and I must say I could not be more happy with this phone. I got rid of apps that I know I would never use, installed a few stock Google apps to replace, but left that apps I felt like...maybe that could be useful. The biggest change came after disabling Fast Dormancy(thank you VERY much to jonasl). My Android OS usage in Battery Info went from being 50-55% usage to 14-23%. No more wake in BetterBatteryStats related to fast dormancy.

For Sasktel E973 users...the MCCMNC # Sasktel uses is 302780...so to do this via ADB your commands would be as follows:

$ adb shell
# su
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
update dcm_settings set fastdormancy="0" where numeric="302780";
.quit
# reboot

And if you want to revert back to having it enabled with default values you would do:

$ adb shell
# su
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
update dcm_settings set fastdormancy="1,0,0,1000,5000,10000,5000,5000,1" where numeric="302780";
.quit
# reboot

For other Canadian Network MCCMNC #'s ....

-Calender Widget

-Finance

I was not aware of that.. my phone has been more or less in testing since I've gotten it. I haven't check out much on the fast dormancy.
maybe i'll just wont include in on other roms. thanks.


I've Updated the 2nd post with the links for Rogers and Telus.. They are purely there for testing right now. I have not tested them yet.
Make sure you nandroid and use that backup if you have to.

Any chance you would be interested in making this debloated? The thread with the debloated ROM is pretty much dead. If this one works as well as others are saying, then having a clean stock Rom with all the junk removed like in member markdexter's post would be awesome, and a real time saver. All the carrier and LG crapwear is the main reason I'm using the CM Rom.
