LG myTouch Q (C800) & LG myTouch 4G (E739) Forum Section Coming??

---

Hello All,

With the new LG myTouch Q (C800) & LG myTouch 4G (E739) out now and a successful root method in place:

Make sure device USB debugging is on and you have installed all drivers from the LG Mobile device website. Must download this: http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-supp...ne-support.jsp and install all drivers.


Install ADB, then
C:\adb> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.

Just wondering if any devs are interested in working on some custom kernels, roms, etc for these devices. Just rooting, removing bloat, and running SETCPU has increased performance dramatically and would like to see some forward momentum with a new forum section on these devices.

NOTE: Please don't try to install any new recovery files from Clockwork Mod or similar apps. You will end up recovering your phone every time you reboot.

What are some of the programs you'd suggest removing to cut down on the bloat. I got this phone for my daughter and it has some decent specs but the phone seems to lag up a lot and get crappy battery life.

I use Root Uninstaller Pro. You can remove any system installed app completely or freeze an app if you think you may want it back later. It can be found on the market and is a buck or two. With that believe I removed about 30 apps. Be careful not to remove anything important or something you are not sure of.

After that and the setcpu running on performance mode at 1ghz and 248mhz when screen is off it definitely runs a lot smoother and battery life is great.

I Ended UP using System Tuner Pro. Gives you alot of statistics and options to choose from and the ability to delete , modify, backup , freeze, uninstall and alot more options! I will check out the app mentions above and i also agree with the SET CPU helping out

i asked the same question in the general forum and i was told because this a low end phone. A low end phone with specs comparable to the Iphone 4 .. lol.

Love this phone, rooting and removing bloat definitely helps with the speed. I would love to see some devs get into this phone so we can get some fast ROMS running on it.. at least give us a proper forum to discuss in lol

edit: also, for some reason after rooting and removing a few system apps. I rebooted to see if eveything was good, i went through a series of random reboots and finally did a adb factory reset, plus hard factory reset I unrooted and rooted again. Seems now i have an issue with Gallery.apk I cannot view images on my sdcard. so of course i use QuckPic for gallery purposes. But i cannot set any picture as a wallpaper. I can only use live wallpaper. If i try to set a picture as wallpaper my phone locks up and reboots itself.

The myTouch Q is getting the ICS upgrade in Q2 2012, any idea if the myTouch will get the same upgrade since the phones are very similar?

I believe the LG Mytouch and the Mytouch Q are pretty much the same. Aside from the 3.8 screen, front facing camera and lack of keyboard on the MyTouch. i dont see why it wouldnt get the upgrade.

Where did you see the mytouch Q getting a ICS upgrade?

Here is the article i saw yesterday:

I would assume as well the mytouch would be updated along with the Q being they are very similar.

Weird issue, I actually froze my gallery via root uninstaller as I dont like or use it at all. I just use quickpic for all photo viewing. But when going through quickpic i CAN still set wallpapers from any photo on SD. Sounds like something was removed on your end that was needed. Have you tried to adb push gallery.apk and maybe ImageEditor.apk.

Yeah its a very weird issue. Yeah maybe ill just freeze the app so i dont have to see it anymore. I did try to push gallery.apk back onto the phone to no avail. Same thing. I did not try to push imageeditor.apk , maybe ill give that a shot. We really need our own forum!
