Nice, will probably pick one up later this week. Stock GB kinda kills it, but with dedicated dev to ICS (based on a good kernel) it will be a killer budget/backup phone instead. How is the screen btw? Still usable outside?

screen is near perfect, I've actually dimmed the brightness completely and it perfectly legible for me

TEMP Root

Hi everybody!

I just bought an Optimus L3 a few days ago.
After a whole day of searching, this one is the only forum I found dealing with this phone, and I'm really sad about this...
Well, to be honest, I'm totally new to this "root" thing, and the only thing I know is that I would like to "temp root" my phone, because I have 2 years of warranty for my new device.
So, my question is: Is there any way to "temp root" my Optimus L3?

Thanks in advance!

(Sorry for my bad english...)

Clockworkmod boot loop

I have a LG optimus L3 and yesterday it said there was a software update available. I chose to install the update, the phone restarted and since only boots into clockworkmod recovery v5.8.4.5.

Now, I now this was probably asked before, but I tried a few tutorials I found online and not one worked.

Is there any way I can get rid of CWM recovery and have my phone boot normally again? What if I send it to service/warranty? Is my warranty void because of the root?

I would really appreciate a step by step tutorial or a link to a method that will help me.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So the rooting of an L3 doesn't invalid the warranty?
You mean, I can root an L3, and if anything happens to my phone, and I bring it back to the store with the warranty, they wouldn't tell if it's rooted or not?
Why is it? I mean, is it working like a temp root? There won't be any traces of rooting after rebooting the phone?

I'd like a temp root, but this is the only rooting tutorial I found until now:
digg(dot)com/newsbar/Technology/how_to_root_lg_optimus_l3_e400

Shuold I use this method to (temp) root my phone or is there any better or simpler way to do it?

Stock kernel minimum speed is 640mhz and maximum speed is 800mhz...

That minimum speed must be an error,

Yesterday I watched L5 and after 15 minutes of use, make sure that the CPU at 100% the same as free RAM on average 170 megabytes and it costs 2 times more expensive but the brakes:confused:

You know how there are games and apps that install data in Android/data/... on the 1gb internal memory? My question is how can I make the apps and games install those files on my 16gb microSD card??

    Just to keep you guys informed: The servers are on cooldown currently, so I am not working on the site right now. I am doing this from time to time to guarantee a good site performance. As for the download servers: I will upload the files to several hosting services and when one throws me out there will be only a couple of downloads unavailable for a few hours(there will be a page to show the server status so you can check that out too). I hope that this will solve all the issues I had before I left. Everything should be ready within two weeks from now(and this time I mean it :D)

    I'm back!

    Hi guys! It's been a long time since I banned myself from the internet because of school, but I'm back!
    The reason I left was because I had to focus on school if I wanted to make it this year, but this didn't work out as I wanted.

    I have followed the blog that hecaex took over from me lately and I noticed that it has moved to another place several times.
    Well, those days will be over soon, because I'm 'rebooting' e400 ROMs and this time it will stay at the same place.

    I'm working very hard to finish this new site, but I have some hosting issues(as usual:p), so I can't publish it right now.
    however, I can already give you some features of this new site that will be included:

    - Pinboard style theme with featured images, It gives a grid effect which is very nice when browsing ROMs
    - Developers can submit their own ROMs!
    - you can become a member and have your own profile page(especially usefull for developers)
    - Direct messages to other members
    - ROM rating(so developers, you can now compete with eachother for the best rating:D)
    - A support chat at the bottom of the website, so you can ask me questions when I'm online through the chat

    This is not everything yet, but it gives you a picture of what the new site will contain;)
    I will also work on the e400 ROMs app again and you will be redirected to a download page of it when you visit the site on mobile.
    I will post more info and the link soon and from now on I will be active in the facebook groups, this forum and the modaco forum again.


    I hope you guys forgive me for leaving for nothing(since I screwed up this schoolyear anyway) and that you will like my new site!

    to be able to port bug-free cm10

    i guess we have to upgrade our kernel first.

    other devs hv been using this idea since then and successfully created good cm10 builds for other phones

    wait for our cm maintainers (official and unofficial) because i know they are the only ones whos in capable of doing that or if u could release one, do it instead
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Some really good devs are working on cm10 when they have the device...
    The team called TeamHackLG (2 guys are from pecancm team)
    Are working on cm10/.1/.2 for L5 and L7 and they will support our device too!
    They told me that they will get the l3 in some days and they will start instantly to build cm10 for us!
