The latest stock LG ROM was 2.3.6. However, there are Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.X) & Jelly Bean (4.1.X / 4.2.X) ROM's available on the Cyanogenod forums. FYI, the Optimus Sol (E730) is exactly the same as the myTouch 4G (E739) except they both have different kernels. Gingerbread (2.3.6) is much faster, however there are functional ICS & JB ROM's. I recommend Penberrom 1 or LeoDexed for GB, Penberrom 2 for ICS and AOKP JB, EnlighteneD or Hollo II for JB. Let me know if any links on the CM forums are dead, I most likely have mostly everything on my PC.

For your power button issue, check out the Power Button Remap mod.

I hate to say it but I just can't find any that's at least android 4.1. I couldn't find Hollo II anywhere and EnlighteneD had a few ending posts that didn't get confirmation for E739's so I was a bit fearful. AOKP installed as android 4.0 and did provide a secure screen setting to wake the screen using the volume buttons without the need to remap keys. If nothing else, I'll be using Penberrom 1, like you said, it's fast.

Thanks for the help!

I got it to root using UnLock Root. you should just be able to Google it, and then i used rom manager to backup and flash. It's been flashing CM9 for a good 15-20 mins now O.O

Recovery?

Are there still recoveries available for this phone? The one link in this thread to TWRP is dead, and the e730 recovery in rom manager doesn't work. I'd love to get the CM9 build on this phone.

    Alright guys, this is a thread to talk about Development or just General stuff about the LG myTouch a.k.a e739.

    This is assuming you already have root.
    If not:

    Code:
    Download Unlock Root (Google it if you don't know what it is)
    
    1、Your device must be in USB Debugging mode. To turn it on, go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the box.(Look Here)
    2、Connect your device to your PC, Run UnlockRoot.exe,
    3、Click “Unlock Root”, Enjoy!

    After that, you want to download Rom Manager and install Recovery.

    Currently we have 2 major ROMs which are CM7, and CM9.
    Both can be downloaded here:
