Nice. I just pulled this phone back into service. Had to ditch cm12 and do the stock kk. I was considering learning to compile a rom, but I don't think I'm to that level in my knowledge. Glad to beta anything when the time is right. ?
[Q] Anyone interested in LG Tribute development?
- Thread starter br0adband
- Start date
Might be a while but i will definitely look into it. I have some experience with coding and more then enough flashing roms to phones. I would love to work on this but since cm is dead might as well try and get lineage on this phone. Anyone have the source code for it? I've never written a rom before but i think that's the starting point, right?
Can you not just extract the device drivers from any of these tribute roms and just copy them over on top of a working rom from a device with similar architecture? I wouldn't know what is equivalent to a tribute, but it stands to reason. Granted, I have little experience working in a Linux environment at the driver level. I've installed it a few times over the years, and of course used adb and stuff, but... working rom + tribute drivers in all the correct places = quick update to something better than cm12. Right?

We don't have any new device firmware to work with it so it will be a hacky mixture of KitKat device proprietary drivers. I think the camera will continue to be broken until we get an update to L where I can pull a newer blob from. I'm no longer alone on this project either have a cm dev working with us now so I'm sure together they can figure it out.
Sent from my LGMS3958if anyone is still having issues with the fastboot drivers, i've attached them here. Unjustified Dev, feel free to include these drivers with your guide, they are what worked for me.7since this seems like the only really active thread about the tribute, I'll post this tip here. it's a bit off topic but I think anyone looking for root would probably want to know about this.
the display on our phone is nice, bit not the best resolution. we can fix that in adb though, without root. connect your phone and open adb shell, then type:
wm size 540x900
now reboot your phone. don't worry if things don't look right, you just need a reboot. also you might notice some really minor glitches in the startup and shutdown animations, although they are very brief and don't affect anything. don't play around with the density or overscan settings, they both cause problems.
if you don't like the results, you can easily switch back by opening adb shell and typing:
wm size reset
that's it! and yes, these changes survive a reboot. personally I think the amount of screen real estate you gain is noticeably significant, and I've been using the phone like this for a week now and haven't had any problems to speak of.
one thing I did just notice, as I was writing this post, is that you will lose the capability of taking screenshots for some reason.. you have to reset to stock resolution to take a screenshot and this I cannot share any images with you.
if you're curious about changing around to other sizes, you shouldn't be able to screw anything up, as long as you have adb access. this might also work in terminal emulator but I haven't tried it.
any questions before you try this yourself? ask away! personally, I am loving this and everything is still smooth and beautiful!
