Good ROMs for Optimus S

[MJBFxs]

Hi,

I am going to be getting my new Optimus S and was wondering what ROMs would be good for it. I am coming from a ZTE Score from Cricket in hopes of getting a better and wider variety of ROMs for the Optimus S. (Sorry mods if this has already been asked)

Suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks

For zvd I would recommended the kravens CM7! For zvh Your Mom Rom! gRom or opti-Rom. These roms are under active development and have gotten really good reviews.

What baseband are you running?
ZVH - gRom /Opti-Rom / Your Mom Rom - all based on LG official source. My current favorite is Your Mom rom by Team Hydro

ZVD - ReBorn / CM7 builds by Kraven/athenos/Drew Walton/Zefie - all run amazing and stable on ZVD.

Are you already rooted and with a custom recovery? If not, please research using the How To guides stickied at the top of the forum. Nearly all questions have been answered for each of the software versions.

Any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks pergerson!

I'll try the-kravens CM7 ROM. Do you have a link for it?

Since your phone is new, I'm guessing it will be ZVH baseband out of the box (but I could be wrong). Assuming so, I would try out the ZVH roms first and see if you're happy with them, if so, you won't have to downgrade to ZVD, and the rooting tools for ZVH are very easy! Make sure you also check out Drew's latest kernel (Ginger Kernel v8) no matter which ZVH rom you choose because it fixes some of the stock LG problems.

eletendre,

I don't know what baseband I am running since I have not received the Optimus yet. But I sure hope that it is ZVD so I can get the CM7 ROM. Also I'm sounding like a noob here but which custom recovery is best? I'm coming from a Sanyo Zio by Kyocera at Cricket Wireless. So this is a big step for me to go from no contract to contract. On the Zio I had CWM working on it. The devs over at XDA ported it over to work on the Zio. So which custom recovery should I flash when I get it?

Research, research, research.

Make sure you know what is going on because you can and will end up with a brick if you dont know what you are doing. Someone on this forum always says,

1) you can and will end up with a brick
2) rooting can cause a nuclear holocaust.

be careful. happy flashing!

What ever you do, DO NOT USE rom manager on the Optimus s, it can cause a brick on these phones. I also use to have a zio and from day one before even rooting you will notice a big difference between the 2 phones.
As for recovery use Xionia recovery.

Always happy to help, hit that thanks button if I did

^^ this.

If it comes with ZVD, then all you need is to read the gingerbreak (rooting zvd) thread. It will explain step by step, all the processes from rooting to custom ROM.

If it comes with ZVH, you can either root ZVH and try one of those ROMS, or, sprint has made available an official downgrade to zvd zip file.

Root.
Custom recovery (thunderc or xionia). I highly recommend xionia.
Custom ROM. Drew's or Kravens CM7 for ZVD or Your Mom for ZVH.

When you get the phone:
Settings>About Phone>Baseband will tell you what you are running.

Then, come read and make an informed decision!

eletendre84,

I had a question. Does the LG Optimus S ship with 2.3 or 2.2? I read on the Sprint website that it comes shipped with 2.3. But other websites say it comes with 2.2.

 

[MJBFxs]

I need help.

I have gotten my LG Optimus S but I don't know what the baseband version is. It says under Baseband version:
LS670MVD_60401001

And under Build Number it says: ZVD.41B2924E and SW Version also says LS670ZVD. So is ZVD my baseband?

 

[jondevere]

U are on 2.2 froyo

I know that. I'm trying to find out what baseband version I have. Either ZVD or ZVH.

and VD

 

[MJBFxs]

Thank you jcwxguy,

Is VD able to flash CM7? If so which one? Drews or TheKravens?

 

[Kamron]

Both Drew's and the Kraven's CM7's run on baseband ZVD. Kraven's is currently maintained; so, you might want to try that one out first. Make sure you follow an appropriate rooting guide for ZVD (not ZVH or any other baseband). Then flash xionia recovery once you have root, then you'll be able to flash ZVD roms to your heart's content! (Making nandroid backups at appropriate intervals once you have xionia installed).

Have fun!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for giving me the support I needed to get my Optimus S running CM7.2 by thekraven. I wondered if there was anyone who could upload the Sprint boot animation so I could maintain some Sprint authenticity? If anyone could upload this and tell me how to install it I would be grateful.

Thanks!

My phone has "Sprint" written on the front of it, and each month I get an envelope in the mail that has "Sprint" written all over it.

That's authentic enough for me.
