Headnote: i'm on holiday and only have access to a heavily restricted xp pc (hotels)
I found a rom for Optimus ME on 4pda.ru ( http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=244116 )
I was wondering if anyone could try to port this? shouldn't be much work, and *maybe* wifi tethering might work? I think it would be a good idea
I think porting from P500 (Optimus One) is much easier. Also Mur4ik has already started his work on porting .32 kernel. Check here.

so what's advantage of that kernel?
I think it is able to run Google earth

Yes it is
I think advantages are Native Tethering, "full hardware acceleration", and better(?) integration in Froyo System.
The port from LG Optimus Me will be pointless, because it has QVGA resolution, and our GT540 Optimus has HVGA. You'll have to resize the whole framework and apps, and they will look ugly resized.
I downloaded the CM7 source today to give porting a go spent 4 hours or so writing scripts etc for the p970 thought I could use a bunch of the libs from other phones etc like the galaxy S for the power VR libs and stuff like that...
first just wondering why no one has thought of this before guessing its not doable before i go any further any rom devs given this a go?
it's not so easy
port cm7 to p970 is a huge work
and maybe few mount later ,LG release official 2.3 update,CM7 may release a version for us,i guess

well, it's hard but not imposible.
there is no official gingerbread release for huawei ideos x5 but they have four different custom gingerbread rom(inculding cm7 and miui)
our devices need more developer love

you're right. not only more developers but also users,users give devs power
Yeah i figured it'd be a lot of work i haven't got time atm to do much but hopefully during the next holidays i'll have a better look.
i had a motorola defy with locked bootloader. There were no hope for updates and for custom roms. Till dev (quarx) did it. Now defy has jelly bean (cm10). Lets search for devs and make a donation app, so they can buy our phone add develop one great rom.
Great idea, but do we have enough people? No one will buy the phone if we can donate only ~100€
well, not to develop ROM, but better to sacrifice their/his phone to try unlocking bootloader..

Yes it will...well at least for a custom kernel i think. Still, drivers have to come from Nvidia. And everyone knows about their reputation when it comes providing open source codes and such.

incorrect, i made the Sense custom for Defy way before even CM9 was invented, but correct 2nd-init was working already then and no none really spend much investigating how to use it early on, but that was probably 1yr+ ago.

Quarx was the first one who figured it out, how to 2nd boot the cm7 rom on defy. maybe he could give some tips for devs in our comminity.
PS: i can remember your rom

We're definitely not that big. I'd say theres no more than 15-20 that uses this phone and that would be interested in develpment advancement

i did mine in feb.2011 , Quarx did his first post of cm7 in april 2011, i do not know if that helps your memory. (i did check all his post on the topic) . I strongely believe i was utilizing 2ndinit on defy on a customrom, and i was introducing it here on o4x for now.
but to stay on topic, no one seems to have faith in a CM10 for O4X here, i tried to port, but that never went well, and compiling only helps so far as the ril driver is documented by LG here.
but the rest should be straight forward, since we share chipset with OneX which got quite far now.
btw,
i did post my CM10 rom as nandroid backup using 2nd init , so your request is already existing on o4x, just not with a phone functionality.

Sorry, i had my defy since may 2011. then you are right. at the beginning there were also phone functionality problems, we shouldn't loose faith

I have downloaded the file and it is .zip file .. It has two files that are kernel and platform files >> Good news
Now, I can see all the files for our O4X and everything is clear . We can make modification for it and install it by CWM
I hope you guys all the best with development . The kernel file has the drivers for our O4X

Please, look at the information of tegra 3 and open your eyes as much as you can at the official website

Maybe you need it sooner or later ..
Best regards,
IMHO
As long as the kernel is not signed u cant really use it. i dont remember anyone using 2nd init on milestone for a custom kernel.
they actually just adapted CM for the old kernels wich is a lot of work i think... And that could be done for our 4xHD as well the problem is
actually that u need the devs for it.
And i think no dev really wants 2 work on a standart phone unless he has it and really wants to keep it and mod on it.

**This isn't a ROM/anything you can download and install
**This Development Thread for Developer to have their idea's and sharing to get thing working
**I don't own a LG OPTIMUS 4X HD nor do i going to have $$ spent on it (I am not rich)

**How about a team? It's good if their's people lending a hand but i'm not into a team
As all O4XHD user should have encountering problem encountering Locked Bootloader which halt all the development here.
LG are ignoring user request for unlocking the bootloader for user therefore a effort have carried out to unlocked BL
I looked on a Tegra 3 Beast that doesn't even have any Custom Rom at all (I am shocked) therefore i might tried carry out some
development but as i would said it's slow and don't expect much because i don't own any device to test nor i'm a good developer
With BL Locked we need to do some workaround for the device.
Now starting to collecting data and required info for working on the device.
I need to focus my ongoing project for other device therefore don't expect thing will be done fast as i developing this for a phone i don't own.
What Can You Do?
[*]Post Link Regarding Info Might Be Useful
[*]Share some developer/workaround info
[*]Need some tester (Checkout the requirement)
[*]No ETA's & Trolling (Development Area)
[*]Can help by donating me (maybe getting device for me if thing work)
More to add.

+1 happy to test have been using custom ROMs for years now. I have been looking to use HTC one x cm9 ROM as a port but I don't really have enough knowledge and have got as far as modifying build prop and kernel but not sure if it will get any where because of boot loader. Good luck sounds like you have more experience than me.

i know i can do nothing but a little support and a thank for you
I saw from another thread, that you already found the leaked bootloader.Because I'm entirely inexperienced with the Android ecosystem (and Linux in general), I can't offer much of help, but I'm willing to be a beta-tester if you cook up something!
There was some work to get CM9 running on the device using 2nd-Init. Im going to look into 2nd-init a bit more, and try booting a htc one x CM9 on this which might only just work.
I suppose you already found these?

Same goes here.
I am trying 2nd-init and as i don't have this device i can't progress.
Still looking in holes that can get us something.
CWM isn't complete as it doesn't really complete flashable(maybe)
but thanks for other for the link.
Any 2nd-init related thread are required to study more better on 2nd-init function.

Looks like you're abit too late bud. We had a fund raiser to give the money to a dev to work on the phone. Its already been claimed by kholk and I "think" that he's doing what he can. Its just your luck you didn't contact us first. If I'm not wrong, about 500-600 euros was given to kholk

Yeah, but kholk is working on unlocking the bootloader. He might not succeed, so it's great if more devs are interested and have a look at 2nd-init (which works quite well on older Motorola devices, such as Milestone and Defy).

I will look on it but then it doesn't mean a smooth progress.
Just helping here.
some hints to get resolved.
bootup "wallpaper" binary is started by lg.early.rc which checks for DRM binaries are where they should be in /system/lib and /vendor/lib folder, which normally would exclude any option for refreshing those at bootup.
bootup init files replace and removed if you use 2nd-init and it will reload the same binaries and you might get locked up, if its not cleaned.
modem binaries: they require some authentication it seems to get enabled, i did not find out what triggers it but using logcat -b radio did not help much on my OneX build.
wifi: LG have already compiled the kernel with the wifi driver built-in, which Means the libhardware_legacy, needs to skip the stage to insmod the wifi driver, it can be tricky or you need a workaround reloading the BTHID kernel module, to get around it.
for the wallpaper binary, you can always run it from Shell checking if you touched or removed liblgdrm or libdrmframework files, as it will Lock bootup, but thats only if you got the device in your hands, otherwise testers need to prepare to use the original kdz files and reflash Again, spending alot of time on nothing
using Mount -obind to get around replacing the files needed is the trick to replace lib supposed to be in /system/lib at bootup, using "ln -s" to point to a different bind'd folder when you actually can do it (from like a vold wrapper or so)
thats all hints i can come up with for now.
talked to some guys whom done 2nd Init.
They said aren't impossible but i am not sure they can help on this project.
I can't do much,don't have O4X for testing as well.
this the part of updates here
i do not believe anyone can do much without the o4x remote, especially when playing with 2nd-init and bypassing security and trying to improve.
it will probably die before it starts getting to boot
initially i seemed to be the only one getting a custom modded port working on o4x and i needed the device to get that far and as you said previously you will not ask for another contributed device, so it might just stop with our premodded recoveries by 2nd-init and maybe be leaked cm10 i did in another thread. (although not worth much)

Create a rom with a second init is the best option?A new rom ICS installed via cmw with the same kernel...
create a vanilla version (,a clean version,stile Nexus),for example a v10H, deodexed, without Lg programs and useless programs. I Believe the users like it a clean version, fast ,and powerful.
Would be interested in a stripped and tweaked version of stock, vanilla style ics. If it's do able?

is there an official lg update to 4.2.2?
As of yet there is no word on an official 4.2.2 update, but that may change. I have my doubts though.
As for custom recovery, it's unlikely that we'll be able to install custom recovery at all, as we currently don't have a proper means of compiling a custom kernel.
TL;DR: It highly unlikely.
i'm pretty sure flashing a custom recovery doesn't have anything to do with compiling a kernel.
maybe we'll get 4.3.
I'm sorry, sometimes the way I word things make more sense in my own head. We don't really have any proper sources from Mediatek to work with at this point. Although, I'm trying reverse engineer what's already there. Also, there's no 'bootable' bootloader to try and work with either. It's a pain in the proverbial.
