Guest N3tieb Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 well the biggest thing would be a 2.1 or 2.2 custom rom. And if its buggy no problem. What tools do you need to make a custom rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mixlis Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 have you thought, how you would make speaker work both as speaker for calls and media plays ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aaa801 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 can you explain what you mean you can already use the speaker for calls and media or do you mean at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sash0815 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi, i really like you effort aaa801.. BUT how do you plan to flash your custom rom if it is compiled? I searched for ages to find a method to flash the GT540 but fastboot seems to be disabled..This seems to be a dead end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aaa801 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 yep now that lg released the kernel code we can generate a ota install and use kdz or official installer to do it or just use flash_image with adb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mur4ik Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I think flash_image don't properly flash a system partition on running phone, so firstly we should find some way flash a system partition. Kernel and ramdisk (in boot.img) normaly writes by flashe_image, but system ... maybe we need to somehow update/patch bootloader for enable fastboot and recovery modes. Sorry for my Runglish :P Edited September 8, 2010 by Mur4ik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my Runglish :P if we use -j2 while building then it should produce a single file that we can use to flash the phone normaly (kdz) or lgutils btw its still building.. dam you slow laptop ;p if anyone wants to test it let me know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in new 2.1 we can see a normal fastboot, bootloader and recovery modes... :P Edited September 8, 2010 by Mur4ik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sash0815 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Fingers crossed root is still possible at 2.1 :P I have read that for some reason the released source does not compile, the wlan module for instance..Keep us updated, i am really interested :) Edited September 9, 2010 by Sash0815 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
