[Q] LG Recovery Rom/Rom Making from source code for LG Phoenix P505

avengin · Jul 4, 2011

I was wondering I'm looking to get into android development and I have a few questions that I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?

I'm looking to make custom roms for the LG Phoenix P505 from scratch or use someones to learn how to? Tutorials or books or something would help, I'm not familiar with the code but I wanna learn so any help would be great, I'll be going into Computer Engineering Technology at a local college so I'm looking for a little head start in some areas.

I understand that a recovery menu or something around those guide lines is needed to use those custom roms? Is there one out for the P505 or is there a compatible one made from a previous rom?

I have the source code for the P505 its up on the LG open source website, can someone tell me what my next step would be?

I have the same phone but i cant find any support for recovery or roms! Can we get any help on that?

avengin · Jul 14, 2011

It would be nice, yeah... seeings how theres a fair amount of developers here,
even tellings us if someone is trying would be nice. I wouldn't mind
customizing my phone a bit more than what stock can do. So a shout
out to the developers, please let us know if anything is going on?
Or is everyone ditching this phone and going for the Thrive?

Any update on this?
I bought a Pheonix as my first android phone and would like to learn how to develop roms for it.

avengin · Jul 24, 2011

Unfortunately not that I know of, I haven't done any recent searching but yeah like you, the phoenix was my first phone too. Guess perhaps the devs don't wanna do anything for this phone?

Same here. There seems to be progress being made in this thread with the prepaid counterpart but this forum's pesky 10 post minimum doesn't allow me to post in that thread to glean some more information.

Well, considering I already subscribed to this thread, I'll keep standing by.

jobankler · Aug 10, 2011

yea giandeli we are all here by u! but please keep us updated! but shouldnt we first work on getting a kernel though n then a rom?

avengin · Aug 12, 2011

Well if its a modification of the original rom, can't you still use
the standard kernel? Or does it need some modification to it first?

jobankler · Aug 12, 2011

i think the most important thing we need for ours is overclock cuz they are a bit slow but i think we need a kernel for that.

CrackerTeg · Aug 13, 2011

This guy is in agreement. Still waiting for something before I up and get another phone with support.

CrackerTeg · Aug 17, 2011

Well, its been two weeks. Is there any progress?

avengin · Aug 19, 2011

well it seems there is a rom made it isnt much but it is something heres a url:

CrackerTeg · Aug 19, 2011

Sweet. Going to check it out when I get home.

avengin · Aug 19, 2011

however i dont see any instructions to flash it or use it as an update,
so if you have any pointers that'd be great.

CrackerTeg · Aug 19, 2011

I'm in the same boat dude. I've been doing a ton of reading just haven't had the time to act on any of it.

avengin · Aug 20, 2011

So i have an easy way to get clockworkmod recovery on, however heres my dellema, will and At&T rom work on a rogers phone if it is not unlocked? So is it pointless then for me to install the Carlos rom for phoenix?

** as a note,
A: backups are great
B: AT&T roms on rogers stay stuck at the AT&T logo in a loop of sorts
C: so that means i guess i need help in cooking a rogers rom for my Phoenix... (any pointers/help)

avengin · Aug 21, 2011

For those that are willing to give it a shot, i sort of had a P500
rom working perfectly, display wise, on a P505....

This is what i did:
1. Installed ClockWorkMod for optimus one through android
market app "Rom Manager"
2. Downloaded the final release of "Devoid"
url: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887281
3. ***MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP***
4. Wiped data, cache, and Dalvik, as well as battery stats
5. install from sd the "devoid" rom zip

Now theres 2 possible routes here....

1. Reboot now, you get the funky cyan messed up video screen

2.... Advanced restore in CWM of your boot partition...

the second route fixed the display, but upon boot, it said the battery
was over heating... and did a shutdown... i have yet to do a boot
up with ac power only, to see if that effects it.

**If anyone can point this at some devs, this may be a possible
work around for some roms?

The rom was a Froyo 2.2 and my boot was for a rooted 2.2.2,
what implications does this have?

So yeah thought i'd post my finding and if anyone knows anything
to add onto this, i don't have 10 posts yet, so I cant put this in
the develop area

***As an update
The "Devoid" Final rom was working full on the P505 from the method above
only if it was plugged in to a power source... It gave 2 errors,

1. When it was plugged in, it said "heat sensor detected high
temps, remove battery and place in cool dry place"

2. When not plugged in, "Battery overheateing, shutting down for safety"
