[Q] Return To stock - LG Thrill 4G

so i'm beyond fed up with the rom options for the Thrill all the devs have gone away waiting for ICS update to launch or the ones that are active give almost close to no details on there rom. So that said i want stock ATT rom back and stock recovery so i can toss this horribly supported device in a drawer and move on to a new HTC or Samsung.
But alas there is no dedicated thread around here or even a hint really on how to return to stock. so if someone can point me to where i can gather the goodies required i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
James

trying to help a friend. need quite a bit of help here!

alright so im an evo owner. im rooted, rom'd, the works. so i know what im doing but my friend is also rooted but has been out of the loop for a few months. so i need some recommendations as to what the best aosp (preferably) rom/kernel combo is for him. im basically gonna have to overhaul his phone
so links to the best rom, kernel, and a link to the newest radio update (im sure he is more than a few versions behind) would be nice
oh and what is the most rock solid stable recovery for this device. like if you own an evo you use amon-ra its not even a question. is there a preferred recovery for this device also? (it also has to be able to flash radios)
any and all help is appreciated
Edit: apparently my post here was not specific enough for some people. So to clear things up my friend does in fact have this phone (hero cdma) but he has very slim knowledge when it comes to rooting so I am trying to help him.

You aren't even posting in the right forum.... this is for the HTC HERO CDMA NOT THE EVO. You never specify that "your friend" even has a Hero. So this is why I say that.
Plus EXPECT us to just provide all this information when you sir are more than capable of reading, testing, and flashing all of what we have to offer here. You did it for your Evo didn't you? Then you can do it for "your friend's" Hero also. None of us care if you don't want to read everything. It's a forum. That's what you do here. READ.
Now your no Noob to XDA so you should have known this. Shame on you. Learn the forum rules better. And the etiquette. Respect goes a long way here and not just to our forum.
Ok I'm sorry I don't have time to play with my friends phone for a whole damn day. I see him like once every 2 weeks so I firgured I would ask in the Q/A for his device to find out what's good. You know, where you go to ASK QUESTIONS. I'm more than aware of the forum rules and I'm certain I didn't do anything wrong. So either offer suggestions or piss off.
Edit: also I figured it was implied in the op that my friend has this device because why else would I venture into the legacy device forum to find this phone and go through all that to post here? So you gonna help or not? I didn't realize that mentioning a name of a good rom or kernel was so hard. Hell you don't need to supply links I'm more than capable of reading and searching for it once a name is given.

Many retards have passed through here so implying isn't saying... and if you knew the rules... no swearing.
When that question has been asked 100 times over... What's the best rom????
Anything I've developed... and the .35 kernel. There.

Sorry bout the swearing. I for lack of a better word got "screwed" (keep your head out of the gutter) by my boss today and am not exactly in the best mood.
I know how you feel about the 100 times thing. Happens in the evo forum a lot to but the difference is that they have the devices their asking about so they can very well test on their own. I don't have this device and have no means of testing other than my not so intelligent friend who would probable mess this up some how.
And thank you. Now is there a recovery you recommend? I think he said he was using darkstar or something close to that but idk how good that is

I completely understand man. We all have our days. Having a bad one myself too.
Any of our CWM recoveries work very well. 2.5.0.7 (??) is the most used by our users here. As a developer I run my own special recoveries (Green Lantern) to my liking so another USER might wanna chime in here.
Also check out the .29 radio if he's on Sprint. He's probably missed out on it.

Ok thanks for the help. You just covered everything I needed to know. But one last opinion. have you used decks rom? On the evo his rom is the go to aosp rom so I just want to know if that is the case here or if its at least stable. I don't need break neck speed necessarily but more just stable as a rock. I need it to last him the last 5 or 6 months of his contract without needing to be fiddled with all to much haha

Your welcome.
Deck's is good also. If your friend isn't picky between Sense and AOSP I'd just flash that and get him going again.
Personally I'd try TeamHeroC's latest 2.3.7 build from Jaybob. He just updated it the other day and from early reports everything runs nicely. Also it's a small build and GREAT for firerats partition mod if your inclined to do so. There's a ton of options here for our Heros, Picking the right setup is personal choice and a ton of flashing Great device for flashoholics like myself
Chiming in...
Just about any of the ROMs you find here with current release dates are 10x better then stock. I myself, like MattCrystal, am a flashaholic and bounce between them when I need a change. TeamHeroC by Jaybob was the first I used and I always end up going back to it.
CWM or CWM based recoveries have been solid for me--no issues.
But I must side with Matt about the reading......good luck!

LG-P920 Roms should be cleaned and banished from our LG-P925 forum.

Since we now have an official GB build for our LG-P925, i really think this forum should be cleaned up and all the builds that are built from LG-P920 GB Base should be removed. Since they are not actually for our device.
Does anybody agree?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Please. Get out of the development section.
EDIT: No. I do not agree. It's literally the SAME device. Open one up. Check the "P925" label that's underneath it.
And no. It's not that is:

It's that there are other carriers in this world that exist. Besides AT&T and all.
Now tell me.
Q: If there wasn't the international version or the P920 ROMs were "banished" from our Device section, do you really think I'd still be here?
A: NO. AT&T is worthless. For the fact that they'd like to bloat everything and put restrictions and whatnot.
Conclusion?
Leave it as is.
EDIT 2: End rant. Every developer needs to have one of these. xD
One can only be nice for so long.
Dude dont be a duche. A mod will move when they see fit. And by the way great work on your roms.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I'd say no. They are compatible with our thrill, its the same phone.
Rogers Canada uses the P925 but calls it by its official LG name, the optimus 3d.
Should the forums be combined?
Probably. If you're willing to modify your phone with a custom ROM then you should be able to change apns and all that good stuff. Why should we keep it seperate thus making it harder for users to find a good ROM?
The average USA user isnt going to search for the optimus 3d forum.
Do you think the optimus 3d mods should get rid of roms that were made from a LG thrill dev?

SEE POST
poyensa said:
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?
Regards,

Ok well obviously no one can see the obvious that the 920 based GB roms all pretty much run like crap on our 925. And also the fact that none of the GB based kernels made previous to v20p are not compatible with v20p, why have a forum full of roms that really arent made for our phone and that are borked

And let me point out that the P920 and P925 are pretty much the same phone. Quoted from Engadget's review of the Thrill 4G:
Talk about a spitting image of the LG Optimus 3D. Don't get us wrong, we were expecting the Thrill 4G to be incredibly similar to its global counterpart, of course -- we just didn't believe it would be that close. We expect US carriers to take a handset popular in other parts of the world, tweak its design, change the UI and essentially turn it into a completely different phone. Interestingly enough, we found it difficult to find any significant variations at all between the twins aside from a few minor adjustments.

and
Reviewing the Thrill 4G was essentially a complete rehash of the LG Optimus 3D, with the obvious exception of AT&T branding and price ($100 with a two-year commitment).

Or, look at the specs of the P925 and the P920 and tell me what major differences you can find.
The Dark Lestat dont get so upset seriously dude, like your roms were great dont get me wrong. Buuuut, your 2.0 and 2.1 versions honestly were crap, the new v20p completely satisfies my taste and runs way smoother than your 2.xx versions. So by all means leave if you want to. Thanks for your time while you were here though dude. v20p has made this phone is usable until the Samsung Galaxy III comes out. These are just my opinions im not speaking for ghe whole community here The Dark Lestat.

So, you would alienate a superb developer on behalf of the whole P925 community just because v20p satisfies *your* tastes? That's the textbook definition of selfishness.

Obviously you dont know what your talking about because v20c and v20p are totally different. You cant use any existing kernels on v20p, the result is a phone with no cell signal and you cant even open apn settings. Also if no one has noticed yet v20p does have new features, one ive noticed is when you receive a text message at when phone is locked there is a cool text message pop up icon now in the middle of the lock screen that you can press snd slide down to unlock straight to messages, also if you use the built in email app its the same thing, also with a missed call.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I agree with akwhite, V20c is the best stock ROM to base off of; v20p is almost the same but loaded with AT&T annoyances such as the name in the notification bar. I just loaded v20p to see how it was, but it's obvious v20c is the way to go. Rogers seems to be alot better at keeping their branding less obtrusive and more removable. V20p and v20c are pretty much the same.

Be reminded that Half of BioHazard is built ORIGINALLY off the O3D in general specifically because the very first GB Baseband mostly changes the device name and overruns software in order to put our device on possibly the first US/EU Baseband portable to the Thrill.
Yes! This is the "Thrill" forums and if I'm not correct the O3D was advertised FIRST and the most in Europe, it wasn't til a month later that the device WE call the Thrill wad advertised. Most Optimus models made are mainly for Europe! This making our device a European output device Originally based on P920. I'm beginning to think the reason for the long GB Official wait was because LG wanted to bug out the early released European GB.
Look at the facts of most European devices, half of our Mobile devices are based off them.
You slowly seem like you not even care for BioHazard. The first working GB ROM made mostly for Thrill in order to make a break and give us at least some 4G Speed & Signal.

State of Development :)

For those of you that have been around these parts for a while, you may remember the State of Development updates that good ol' Gsleon3 used to update us with. These came for us at a time when development for the Vivid seemed to be at a standstill, and for those of you that were here, you remember why. For those of you who don't, let me catch you up a little (and I apologize for the bad feelings that this may drum up, but I don't want anything to get out of control again). So grab a beer and a snack, this may be a long one
It was about April, and development for the Holiday was still in its infancy. There were a few good ROMs being released, and generally, it was a good place to be. Then accusations of stealing other's work, accusations of corrupt moderators, and all around child-like behavior started, and it became the downfall of the Holiday forum at XDA. ROM threads started closing. Then came the bickering. Then the Devs left. Then the users began to play the blame game, and the "let me try to whine my way to what I want" game. All the best devs left and opened up shop in their own little corners of the internet (and I can't blame them one bit), and development for the device was no longer centralized. There were/are still AWESOME ROMs available for this device, just not on XDA. This always made me a little sad. As painful of a place as XDA (or any internet forum for that matter) can be at times, there's sooooo much good information crammed into one site that it has always been my one-stop shop, but that wasn't true any longer. I settled in, I found a home, but I kept a close eye on what else was happening across the interweb's Holiday community. I liked to keep my eye on one project specifically, synergy's CM10 project, because who wouldn't want JellyBean, right?
Now, a little more information for those of you who weren't around.. The original CM10 thread was opened at another site in July, where the project started. Syn put a lot of time and effort into it, but in the end, found it to be not worth his time to continue on a project he didn't see possible to ever be finished (mainly due to the ATT in-call mic issue and video issues), and again, who can blame him? He abandoned the project at the beginning of August. This is where mg picked the project up, and continued it with a few fixes himself, before somehow we caught the attention of h8rift. h8 has been awesome - cleaning up our trees, getting things in their proper home, and powering through anything that gets in his way It's so great to have him around.
Myself, up until October, had only ever had experience with things like making boot animations, icons, editing .xmls in .apks, and some slight .smali edits. Thanks to mg's excellent guide and a crapton of Googling, I learned out how to compile/build cm from source. Then I thought, "I wonder if I could do the same for other JB flavors?" So guess what? I tried, and it worked. Every single question I had along the way (with the exception of a few Ubuntu and git specific questions), were answered by a thread here at XDA. Cool, right?
I am very excited to see new ROMage out for this device...as I'm sure anyone who was here through the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012" would agree, I was pretty sure what we had was all we were ever going to see. Which again, would have been OK, cause there are some great ROMs out there, but I've never been the kind of dude to settle in on the same ROM for too long - that's why I came to XDA in the first place. Now as I'm sure everyone can see, through collaboration, this project is making HUGE progress! I cannot thank mg and h8 enough for keeping it going. This brings me to my last point...
I encourage everyone to participate, and offer suggestions, and share information - that is, after all, what a developer's forum should be about. The wealth of knowledge that's available at XDA is out of this world, but sometimes hiding deep within the threads, filled by off-topic chatter and users who have way to huge a sense of entitlement. Please always keep in mind that the things you're getting here are free. Hours upon hours upon hours of work go into these projects, just to be shared for very little asked in return. Wait, we ask for something in return? Yes - READ, SEARCH, and SEARCH AGAIN before posting. Like I said, there's already a wealth of knowledge here that's incomparable to other Android forums on the web, but yes, sometimes it can be trying to find that information. But it's not impossible. Also - keep an eye on the issues list. There are bugs. There will probably always be bugs. And as long as there are, they will continue to be squished to the best of our ability (though h8's ability is far beyond mine, so let's especially be nice to him )
In closing - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not let this place become what it was before. So far I feel like the atmosphere around here has been a lot better, but I know how easy it can be for it to slip back to where it was. So be respectful, don't ask for ETAs, and be thankful for what we have - cause what we now have is a TON more options that we had before.
I remember the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012"... it was ugly, didn't even want to visit the site half the time. But things are looking up and I'm glad I didn't return my vivid thirty days after the release date like so many did.

There were/are still AWESOME ROMs available for this device, just not on XDA. This always made me a little sad. As painful of a place as XDA (or any internet forum for that matter) can be at times, there's sooooo much good information crammed into one site that it has always been my one-stop shop, but that wasn't true any longer. I settled in, I found a home, but I kept a close eye on what else was happening across the interweb's Holiday community. I liked to keep my eye on one project specifically, synergy's CM10 project, because who wouldn't want JellyBean, right?
Now, a little more information for those of you who weren't around.. The original CM10 thread was opened at another site in July, where the project started. Syn put a lot of time and effort into it, but in the end, found it to be not worth his time to continue on a project he didn't see possible to ever be finished (mainly due to the ATT in-call mic issue and video issues), and again, who can blame him? He abandoned the project at the beginning of August. This is where mg picked the project up, and continued it with a few fixes himself, before somehow we caught the attention of h8rift. h8 has been awesome - cleaning up our trees, getting things in their proper home, and powering through anything that gets in his way It's so great to have him around.
Myself, up until October, had only ever had experience with things like making boot animations, icons, editing .xmls in .apks, and some slight .smali edits. Thanks to mg's excellent guide and a crapton of Googling, I learned out how to compile/build cm from source. Then I thought, "I wonder if I could do the same for other JB flavors?" So guess what? I tried, and it worked. Every single question I had along the way (with the exception of a few Ubuntu and git specific questions), were answered by a thread here at XDA. Cool, right?
I am very excited to see new ROMage out for this device...as I'm sure anyone who was here through the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012" would agree, I was pretty sure what we had was all we were ever going to see. Which again, would have been OK, cause there are some great ROMs out there, but I've never been the kind of dude to settle in on the same ROM for too long - that's why I came to XDA in the first place. Now as I'm sure everyone can see, through collaboration, this project is making HUGE progress! I cannot thank mg and h8 enough for keeping it going. This brings me to my last point...
I encourage everyone to participate, and offer suggestions, and share information - that is, after all, what a developer's forum should be about. The wealth of knowledge that's available at XDA is out of this world, but sometimes hiding deep within the threads, filled by off-topic chatter and users who have way to huge a sense of entitlement. Please always keep in mind that the things you're getting here are free. Hours upon hours upon hours of work go into these projects, just to be shared for very little asked in return. Wait, we ask for something in return? Yes - READ, SEARCH, and SEARCH AGAIN before posting. Like I said, there's already a wealth of knowledge here that's incomparable to other Android forums on the web, but yes, sometimes it can be trying to find that information. But it's not impossible. Also - keep an eye on the issues list. There are bugs. There will probably always be bugs. And as long as there are, they will continue to be squished to the best of our ability (though h8's ability is far beyond mine, so let's especially be nice to him )
In closing - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not let this place become what it was before. So far I feel like the atmosphere around here has been a lot better, but I know how easy it can be for it to slip back to where it was. So be respectful, don't ask for ETAs, and be thankful for what we have - cause what we now have is a TON more options that we had before.

seems like I got my vivid after all this happend. Got it off craigslist since I was switching from cricket
Well said homeslice. Although I haven't been as active in my participation I got the Vivid on day 1 and am really happy to see development where it is today. There were many points I thought the device was basically dead and time and time again it was revived with new life. Hopefully the few left can make sure not to repeat drama mistakes of the past.
And great job on going from a reader to a developer, very well done.
Why is my xda premium app only let me reply/post on certain sections of forums and not development??:banghead:

i think is not fair to close a wip thread to bring a sense 4 rom to the vivid all i wanted to do is help this device users to be on the latest software as i said in the post that was closed i wasn't going to share it to everybody i want it to share it to developers to bring this rom to all users but it got closed for "kanging" which i think is not true since venom team never released a vivid rom even thou the did for rezound which is pretty similar device but cdma and korean's make their work on the rom also to make the radio work which no body here in xda could do after many tries all i want is to help the community and specific this device owners which expect more from this device and we know is capable of running this system and much more please let the development continue we are stuck right know on sense only because someone doesn't want to share their work on other devices which is ok if you are the developer of something and you don't want to share but why stop someone who is trying to help on a device you haven't released a rom I bet that many of the vivid users would like to flash a sense 4.1 rom on their devices

Sorry but we don't approve of the use of our work by non-team members and do not condone the porting of any of our roms to other devices for various reasons. One of those reasons is these roms will never meet the same level of quality and support our users have become accustomed to as such, these roms will never be allowed on xda and will also be refused Venom Hub access.

Btw, we're not trying to be the bad guys here... We're simply trying to protect our property. Perhaps the best way for you to achieve your objective is to reach out to the kangers to find out how they managed to port it over to your device...

That's exactly what I want but there is a language barrier, instead of releasing could you try to make it legit here with your team? Please I know there are really good developers and they can find how to make it legit is all I ask I do not want to make an issue out of trying to help others with this device, this device is capable of running this Rom flawless just like the one x or rezound which in fact is is the same device but cdma could you help us or assign this port to one of your team members?
Or if none of you has the vivid let a vivid developer take care of it please we have really good developers here to!!

This all sounds familiar...the point of this thread...
Let's just drop it. The villec2 should get its jellybean sense+ update soon, and maybe we can port it. Or maybe we can get the Koreans to share their secret. In the meantime, it appears to be elsewhere, so get it there if you must

So, the options are:
1. We remove all of our tweaks from the framework files of a kanged port of one of our roms so that you can use it as a base
2. You find a Korean translator to ask the one who got data working how he did it.
Let's not start more xda drama the vivid forum has already been thru this. Either find someone who speaks Korean to ask to translate or have them remove all of their tweaks like they ask. The vivid has come to far now to start drama over a sense 4 ROM

I'm not been sarcastic please help the vivid users to get a sense 4 Rom up and running if you can remove your framework from it that would be awesome to use it as a base I know you and your team are great developers I'm using your viper Rom on my wifes phone and I am really impressed with what you guys have done, I never wanted to start a war here or elsewhere all I want to do is give the sense 4 option to vivid owners like me!! I'm really sorry I have caused any issues.

You don't understand the work effort in removing our tweaks from the framework so you'll need to follow up with the Koreans.
And I honestly hope we don't see any more links to this kang roms, either here or on rootzwiki.

Need links to old custom ICS ROM

Hi guys, I've been using quite a few brand-name custom JB roms on the GNote Android Development board lately and most of them seem to not like me at all. Some of the roms reboot and get stuck on boot screen, the one with the white text telling you the model and such. It runs like a stabbed rat for a few days before it goes down the drain.I like the smoothness and all, but it's not going to work if my Note decided to catch fever(yes, it heats up while trying to reboot, all while stuck on that dreaded screen).
I'm currently on SlimBean now in hopes to return to a at least functioning TW rom. And my favorite, CleaNote isn't hosted anywhere anymore. As well as the NoteCore links.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could provide links for the latest cleanote and the Notecore/hydracore links. 14.1 if memory serves me right. This ought to keep me sane till the Note finally gives way and finally dies an honorable death.
Battery replaced once due to flickering, changed into Mugen Battery.

I would really appreciate (and it would keep my sanity) if you do the simple step and search for these links yourself. Why should another member do the steps of searching for you? Oh I forget: "it serves you right".

Holy crap. What did I do to you ThaiDai. Cleanote has it's mirrors removed because it was linking to another site. Doing a search of "CLEANOTE" on the GN7000 forums yields zero result. I appreciate your work in XDA but I never expected you to pop right in and lay it all on me like I was some forum newbie bashing on anyone.
Talk about "kicking someone while they're down"
I have no intention of causing a ruckus at XDA, neither have I ever made any requests for ETA/ranting about devs/etc. All I wanted to do was find a rom that was stable enough that I don't have to fullwipe and full install every few days. And I'm doing this all without *****ing for the most part. Now that I'm in trouble and seeking assistance, I get kicked around?
there is someone who posted links in the Cleanote thread. try your luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37661789&postcount=2047
EDIT: links dont work..
Well its upto you to save the rom you downloaded because once the dev stops the support. The links are removed. Happened to me as well. Now i just keep that rom on my pc or cloud.
I also didnt get the reason why a working rom needs to be removed even if it is not supported. We can ourself adjust it according to the need.
I would suggest you to search the file hosting sites for such roms oe download it via torrent if u are lucky enough to get the seeds.
I was so in love of criskelos rom. But same happened to his thread.

I know we're to have a safekeep just in case such things happen. But all I did was just ASK if anyone has it that they could upload it or something. I just downloaded a stock LRQ and stripped it down. I don't know what was his build.prop tweaks though.
