You can flash the xionia recovery in os2sd twrp with adb or terminal. You can also edit the updater-script for the gb rom and swap all instances of /system and /data to install the rom with os2sd recovery. The issue is that the newer recovery kernel has userdata and system switched in source...

I'm actually working on getting out an update here soon. CM's last kitkat commit I see is the June 1 security patch, and it does build. I'm testing and getting things back together after quite a while not building for the S/V (check the date on that ROM! Ancient.) Need to clean up the OP and...

While they won't install stuff from another device, they'll update themselves. Play services and play store updates together will overflow your /data free space by themselves and not leave room for Music. You can use the os2sd kitkat rom, which isn't space-limited, but you need a good, fast sd...

Google can help you here. https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+music+4.1.0+apk&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 apk4fun seems reliable enough though I can't specifically vouch for them.

that's cool, I check over there more often. this was always the hopping place to be for the Optimus v though, even phandroid Android forums didn't get as much traffic for this device.

the last rom version you were running is important. and my 4shared links got broken so if you're really stuck it may be hard to find certain files.

Re: [ROM+Kernel] MiRaGe-CM7.2-IHO microg on xda might work with blankstore (all FOSS) downloads free apps from play, basic play services (but not all) i like it on newer devices. haven't tried to make it work on mirage or bigsuperrom. there is a gingerbread experimental xposed version that...

internal version isn't very supported. os2sd generally worked better for me. still, gapps can be a problem. you have to remove anything that says *SetupWizard* in system/app and or system/priv-app to fix that startup error. since there is a burst of interest in this both here and on xda all at...

ring+ needs a different /etc/apns-conf.xml gapps are wanky for armv6 chips, sorry. my uploaded resources for Optimus V haven't been looked at in maybe even as long as a couple years. one at least.

I'll add more info soon. sorry.

Re: [ROM+Kernel] MiRaGe-CM7.2-IHO think that recovery should work OK for mirage. not kitkat though. mirage is really stable. kitkat less so. kitkat doesn't need or want link2sd, all of /data is already on sd. more apps on play for kitkat. gapps glitch pretty badly though unless you use older...

since this is a common problem I'll add a little information. the power+volume down+home combo has to be held until after the lg logo shows and goes back to black or it may not actually try to boot into recovery.

opening all the covers, pulling the battery, then putting it in a container of rice for a night or two is probably good enough to dry it out. I've waterlogged several phones, including an Optimus V (same hardware as Optimus S) and they've all revived as long as they're quickly powered down and...

uninstall all lg drivers from your pc, reboot, install the drivers from the rooting sticky, then plug in your phone. bad drivers, no adb, and kdz won't work right either. get a bad enough kdz mis-flash, the phone may be trashed. if you still get recovery in your bootloop, try the link posted...

does it still boot loop after using kdz? a bad kdz flash can really mess up your firmware. if it still loops through recovery you might be able to use the link posted earlier to break the boot loop. otherwise it's going to be hard to recover. you might want to uninstall all lg drivers from your...
