    ARCHIVED: [ROM+Kernel] ~*~ Bumblebee 2.4 ~*~ (6/25/2011)

    I've bounced around between several ROMS, but keep coming back to BB - it just works well. However, has anybody gotten their notification pane to exhibit transparency with the 2.4 ROM? I was playing around in UOT, and my other mods took effect, but not the transparency. I did notice on UOT a...

    Has anyone got the lego rom to work?

    I've been using the LEGO ROM for nearly a couple of weeks now. Love it. I did not re-cook the ROM, but instead just patched it to account for the VM differences (build.prop settings, key layouts, and I removed most of the Sprint specific stuff). I'm using a beezy kernel, the Steel My Elegance...

    ARCHIVED: [DEAD ROM] LEGO-ROM-v2

    Anybody tried LegoRom on an Optimus V? Any issues other than the Home/Menu key mis-mapping?

    Help rooting Optimus V

    Trying to learn how some of this works, so bear with me. If build.prop is basically a configuration file, then doesn't it exist someplace in my phone already? If so, couldn't that file be directly edited (or at least indirectly with an adb pull / edit / adb push). Then reboot and the changes...

    Help rooting Optimus V

    I was using option 3 - User Apps and System Data. But, I'll try just the user apps (and update this post)... ...nope. Hung on Astro. Don't think I'm going to mess with TB anymore - on to custom recovery for me. Any caveats with using the instructions for the S? ...it appears that the...

    Help rooting Optimus V

    No, it seems to hang after 2 or 3 components. I tried changing the compression (to none), and messing with the various "wake mode" settings, but that didn't help. Maybe I'm going down the wrong path. All I'm trying to accomplish is being able to get back to where I am right now. Looks like the...

    Help rooting Optimus V

    I'm having trouble in an unexpected place. The V is rooted, and Titanium Backup (TB) says that it has root, and I let it use it's copy of busybox. But, my backups don't complete. It'll do 3 or 4 components (backing up everything), and then it'll hang. I can go back to the home screen, and do...

    Help rooting Optimus V

    I was just able to use the manual rooting instructions for the Optimus S (rage, busybox, su) to gain root access. Rage did its thing. When I went back into the shell, I had root (# prompt). All following command executed without issue. Only slight weirdness was when I restarted the phone the...

    Optimus V (Virgin Mobile)

    Sure enough! Don't have XP, but I tried it from an Ubuntu laptop, and it connected (and functioned) just fine. Did a Speedtest.net while connected. Got 1.0 down, and 0.5 up (which is within the range of what I have gotten on the phone), and the test confirmed that I was using Sprint PCS as the...

    Optimus V (Virgin Mobile)

    It does appear to activate the hotspot feature in the phone, and I can use the widgets notification icon to configure the hotspot. The network is visible to my Win7 laptop, and I can connect. But there, the fun stops. It's the dreaded limited connectivity situation. Anybody have any better luck...
