Hey guys! Was wondering what it would take to port an O3D ROM? Has anyone tried just flashing an O3D ROM on their thrill yet? Or even fastboot flashing just the system.img so as to leave the kernel alone?
You can flash any of the roms just wont get the 4g speeds.

How do you lose 4G speeds (not sure what you mean by that either... are you saying you only lose access to the HSPA+ network, but keep you access to the HSPA network?)... anyways, how do you lose 4G speeds if these ROMs only update the system, and are not touching the kernel or radio rom? I could see some build prop differences, but wouldn't we just need to change the build prop to the Thrills?
So wait, everything works except the 4G Speeds?
They do change your kernal check out the thriller change log it says he made it so that we can flash back from o3d roms and get our stock kernal back

The P920 and the P925 have deferent Baseband radio versions, that's why the 4G doesn't work. If someone could take the radio out of the Thrill and make it in to a flashable zip that problem would be solved I'm sure we will see that once GB is released.

Has anyone tried flashing the stock Thrill kernel over top an O3D ROM? (I am going to try it now myself... well actually I repackaged an O3D with the Thrill kernel).
And what do you mean by you lose 4G? Do you keep 3G (HSPA) and just can't use 4G protocol (HSPA+)? Or do you lose HSPA all together?

Where do they put the radio ROM? I don't see it in any of the ROMs I have downloaded, I only see the system and the kernel... but I am also looking at this from the eyes of someone that is used to HTCs and their structure.
I don't think the devs have figured it out yet :/

All the Roms we have so far with the exception of a couple just modify the /system folder. The radio is seperate from that. What we need is a kernel. Otherwise all these roms are pretty much going to wind up the same but with different themes. That's the reason I don't want to put my Rom out til I can get a bootable kernel put together. Its pretty close to just being Thriller with an HTC sense theme at this point. The differences in the rom itself I don't think warrant a seperate release at this time.

That was my basic view point with any ROMs I made in the past... I wasn't doing anything unique or special, just making it the way I wanted in terms of apps, kernel, etc... so it was one package I flashed instead of 3 or 4.
Looking around, I don't see a lot of people working on the Thrill and was hoping I could get this figured out... I tried just taking the build.prop, ril's, kernel, and .ko's from the thrill and tossing them on a O3D build, but still didn't make a difference for the HSPA+... it makes me suspect there is something I am overlooking (which is very possible, never ported anything, even such a simple port, and I am unaware of any other standard system files that control radio functionality, rest is with the kernel and baseband itself, but both phones have the same baseband version best I can see, so likely kernel, but I am using the thrill kernel!). But at the same time, it is odd to me since I am used to other devices (HTC G2 for example) where a single ROM works on both the G2 and Desire Z...

The only difference in baseband is that the O3D doesn't support the 850 band. There may be a lib in the o3d roms that's not allowing us to use 4g that needs to be replaced from a Thrill rom. I haven't bothered snooping around yet though.

Yeah, thats what I was trying to drill down was which file was causing it, but I have replaced every file I am aware of in both the lib and bin to no avail, along with the kernel and its corresponding .ko files.
If I go the other way, though, no problem. I can take the framework and apps from an O3D ROM, drop them in a Thrill ROM, and good to go. So there is something hiding that controls which frequencies are used, question is what and where? If you have any idea what file would control that, I can search and test it for you.
So guys will everything work except the 4G speeds?

Yes, everything works just fine, just no "4G" speeds, regular 3G only (which for me I get essentially the same speeds, except on full bars I am a little slower... talking 6Mbps peak instead of 8Mbps peak).

I am using Thriller, which is a Thrill ROM. I tried Thiaz's and Kings, both were nice... but I prefer the Thriller theme, and the special add on's that those O3D ROMs have we can do manually, like the superchargerv6 script and build.prop tweaks. Sure, we don't have any kernels (yet, they are coming) but modded kernels are not a huge deal without overclocking/undervolting... there are some other tweaks that can be made, help with battery life a little bit and performance a bit, but I am pulling 3000 quadrant scores with superchargerv6 and build.prop tweaks on Thriller, plenty good enough IMHO for speed, just want a little better battery life.
So I can flash a O3D kernel on top of a Thrill ROM, and keep my "4G"... looks like the issue is isolated to the system...
this may be a stupid question, but I've ran into this before. If you flash an o3d ROM and lose your 4G, can you flash back to a thrill ROM and get your 4G back? I've had previous phones that once you changed your radio, sometimes you couldn't get it back.

i think this will help quite alot
I'll take a look at it and see if there's anything usable for my CM7 fix. But I'm guessing this was pulled from a TouchWiz ROM? From what I can tell at first glance, CM7's gps does not use a lot of the stuff found in the rar you posted. Maybe some stuff can be integrated into CM7 directly, but I don't know enough to incorporate it into a fix after the fact.
Maybe someone else can help take a look, but AFAIK I can't use most of this.
Hopefully it'll help out TW-based ROMs.
aosp 4g rom for sprint that has source http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...urce-code-before-the-phone-even-hits-shelves/ might have something there for, might not. Phone is kinda galaxy s ish
I'd hate to break it to you but, the virgin mobile and the bell vibrant are simply rebranded i9000's using these files would be like using i9000 gps files. We wont be able to get 100% fast and accurate gps until our vibrant (sgh-t959) gets its own leak, if it even exists. We won't ne able to get gps with files from even phones that look identical to our phones (t959d) because of their radio bands. Our vibrants are the only galaxy s models (other than the t959V) that get 3G signals on 1700mhz bands. I think to have the 1700 bands, it requires a slightly different hardware radio, this slight difference allows the i9000 gingerbread gps (from jellete) to work but leaves all other files from the i9000 unusable on 2.3.

I also hate to be negative here but it may be that the T-959 is no longer being supported (evidence being that Sam firmwares source only seen the froyo update in the system)
I think that the obly way we will see a spot on GPS is if someone takes the time to hack, crack, and reverse engineer the files we do have and try to figure out where certain things go.
Maybe ... just maybe since cyanogen got a job at Samsung he may be able to convince them to opensource certain things in the better interest of android.
Just a thought lol

Can I flash LG Optimus 3D roms on my phone? How do I tell if I have a thrill? What's the difference why is there two different sections!? WHATTT????
The Thrill is the AT&T branded version. The only physical difference is a small AT&T logo on the back. The model number is P925, vs the Optimus 3D is P920. You can see the model number in the About in Settings. They run on different bands, so O3D ROMs will not run on the Thrill. If you put a O3D ROM on the Thrill you only get 2G, the "4G" from AT&T does not work.
So they will work but I would get a 2G connection? Could I use their rom manager ways and etc? Is there a way I could just flash the Thrill's radio back onto it after installing an Optimus Rom?
I have not seen anyone pull the radio from the Thrill yet. So far Thriller is the only Thrill based ROM. I think once the GB update comes out we will see GB ROMs. I don't think many devs want to take time tweaking FroYo when GB has been promised by year end (and likely long before that). The O3D was released months ago, the Thrill has been out for less than a month.

Yes absolutely you can run O3D roms. As was mentioned before you wont get 4G out of the box without some tweaking and you'll also need to change some apn settings for mms. But overall functionality is there. The different radios arent a factor with the roms since radios arent flashed in that way. Its just that O3D roms dont have ATT's carrier settings by default so you have to add them in. If 4G isnt that important to you (in my area I get the same exact speeds on 4G Thrill roms as I do with 3G O3D roms so I could care less about 4G at this time), then literally all you need to do is change the apn settings for mms and you're good to go. Of course if neither of those things is important to you then you can just run any O3D rom as is.
Being nobody has any problems with it... i would like to start compiling some of the o3d roms that i have tweaked with mms and 4g fixes... but i have to ask for permission first...

All O3D roms.
Its the same phone.
Most devs on the O3D forum include att apns in their ROMs so its really effortless to install. I would even recommend flashing the V21E kdz rom. This baseband fixed the ghost call issue that still plagues ATT customers today.

Hiya, My name is nick, I know this thread may have been repeated before, but I've noticed all the threads I've seen NEVER answer my questions correctly. So maybe I can get help by posting my own thread...
I have an LG Thrill- I use Simple Mobile.
This is the information on my phone:
Model LG-p925
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel 2.6.35.7+
Build Number Thrill seeker 2.1
Software Version LGP925-V20p-FEB-22-2012
I am minorly a n00b to this, I put this rom onto the phone quite a few months ago. I would need directions so i dont mess things up, as a referance.
However, my questions are this...
1) What is the best baseband to use, so that I can get the most functionality out of my device as possible? Using Simple Mobile, I barely crawl with data.
There has been a few RARE instances that I've seen when flashing, that I hit 3g /4g i assume, It said HSPA+ or something instead of an E by the network strength bar. I had flawlessly fast internet for a brief moment, then it switched back to painfully slower than dialup speeds.
2) What is the best rom to use, with this device?
3) what are the steps in general to get a half way decent speed. I'm not really sure where to go, or if I am going to upgrade to thrillseeker 3.1 because the data speeds are really hindering me from using this phone.
Since I'm on a EXTREMELY tight budget I do not have money to upgrade. I plan to modify what I have so I can use it and it works...
At the current stand point, the phone will not even connect to the internet, I setup the APN's for simple mobile, so I'm ready to flash to something different. Where do I go from here?
Im assuimg its unlocked? You going to need to flash a P920 ROM... and flash a baseband that supports tmobile. Go to the lg optimus 3d forum and read up on what you need to do

Hello. There is an updated version of this rom. On xda type in "thrill seeker 3.1 v20p" its by "bdadd34" the newest version is not on the op. I believe its on page 47. Sorry you'll have to look thru the forum. The new zip is called tsfinaltest2. Try it out.
