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.

For those that are running this ROM... Do you miss the fact that this is a "stock ROM" and not a "custom ROM" like those highly developed SGS/SGS2/SGS3 ROMs? Or to make it a more valid comparison, that it's not as highly developed as the AT&T Optimus G ROMs? Ever since I got my SGS Captivate a few years ago, I swore that I'll never go back to stock ROM. But here I am... with a LG Optimus G that I paid $280 for.. Don't really want to sell it, but the lack of custom ROMs is really making me depressed haha.

The SGS was junk out of the box so it needed a custom rom. The OG is a monster and all it lacks is JB.
I had the Captivate, SGS2 i9100 and GNEX.
The SGS2 and now the OG have raw power.
Hopefully official JB soon....

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

Hey guys. I'm new to the OG. I have a rogers (e971) E97110e, running on bell network.

I'm loooving this phone and can't wait to start rooting and roming it! I just have a couple questions and I'm hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction.

Now I know this phone has been updated to the newest software, and from what I've been reading we have to downgrade before we can root, correct? Also, since the officially JB update should drop anytime now, is root lost through OTA's?

I'm not desperate to change the ROM, cause lg did a fantastic job with the stock ui, and this phone is a beast!! I just want to be able to root to change some of the ui sounds, and get root access with a file explorer.

I know about freegee, and its on the list of things to buy, but do we know if it will work after the official OTA? Will anything be affected if the bootloader is unlocked before? I read someone's post about an update not working because of being rooted.

I know I have lots of questions, lol. But I'm no noob. This is my 4th phone, the others being moto atrix, lg optimus 3d, and sgs2 lte. All rooted and rom'd. But this is my first phone with a built in battery, and it scares me not being a me to pull the battery if I need to.

And help, answers or links would be awesome. Thanks guys and gals.

Just flashed the ROM and so far, I'm impressed, despite being stock. I guess I'll activate my Fido Micro SIM tomorrow.

Does anyone know how I can copy and paste the WiFi password? It's 63 characters long and it won't let me paste more than a set amount... My password is 63 characters long. I tried multiple times to type it in manually after the pat where it wouldn't copy... I gave up.

Edit: Got it working finally. Still hating how I can't copy and paste the WiFi password.

    [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.


    This Stock Bell E973(h) ICS Features

    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.

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018894

    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 ....

    The apps that I have successuly uninstalled via Titanium in no particular order:
    -Calender

    -Email

    -Facebook
    -Favorite Contact Widget

    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.

    It is debloated. Read the OP.


    Rogers version works great. Thanks

    Kk thanks for letting me know.
