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.

Hi all. At o3d thread we got a leaked GB last night. Hope some of your devs can make it work for Thrill. All progress on either handset is great

How to port GB
Does anyone know the steps to make the O3D leaked GB rom work for the Thrill? If there are any experienced devs out there, that maybe dont have the thrill to work with anymore (bc most switched to the SGS2), could give me a walkthrough or an idea of where to start that would be great! I have a machine running ubuntu, an 06 macbook pro w/ OS X Snow Leopard, and an hp running W7 and the Dev release of W8 (dual boot). I have never cooked any ROM before so i dont know what exactly i would need but i am sure i can find that info somewhere on XDA... but, the more detailed any help or ideas, the better!
Hey I have some experience porting roms and building cm7. When my donated thrill gets here next week I will look into this more.

It's running...
First backup/write down your apn & mms settings, there are lots of info here on the forums to do this, or an app like this: http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/apn-backup-restore.
Do a full nandroid backup to your sd card to be safe.
Follow the instructions on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331814 to get the o3d rom running on the thrill, it's a fairly long process, but not too bad.
Replace your APN and MMS settings, 4g disabled, everything else is mostly working it seems, though my wifi is a bit wonky so far.
OOOOR
Wait for a dev to build a solid custom rom!
Good luck!
Do you guys think this'll resolve wifi reception issues? I've been tolerating this crappy phone for awhile thinking GB will solve the battery issues but in the past few weeks I've been doing some business travel to Boston, Dallas and LA the GPS has been completely inadequate on all three trips. It would take up to 20 minutes to get initial GPS signal and then even when it does have GPS it would go in and out of GPS reception every minute or two. I'm so fed up with this thing. Yes, I read the 'GPS fix' thread and had already implemented the 'fix' but it's not any better.
I bought it at Costco, therefore, I'm thinking Atrix2 since the Galaxy S2 is a huge price diff. If I had the option, I'd trade it in for iPhone4S.
GPS has been working well on quite a few users phones, and I can personally attest to the the same. I also haven't had any battery issues with the phone at all. It might be a software issue or hardware, but you might want to try exchaning it for another to isolate it. For me, it has been a great phone so far, and I expect a great GB rom to only solidify this.
My wifi and gps work fantastic... you might have a dud... if its within your month swap it out... it sounds like 25% of these phones have bad bugs...
Seriously this is one of my favorite phones of all time... wouldnt say that if i had those troubles...

Gingerbread has brought some great changes to the infuse for me. Better battery life and overall performance. I would say that the same would go for the thrill. I will be getting my thrill just in time for my Las Vegas trip so I will put the stock rom with root access to the test!

Back to the topic of getting the leaked gingerbread rom running on the thrill.... has anyone else tried the instructions I posted? Would like to hear others results especially concerning wifi...
I might try it later tonight or tommorow... trying to write a research paper on precambrian evolution at the moment though.
i'll try it out and post my results hopefully by sunday though...
Its not looking good for the leaked gb running on Thrill. The rom itself will run but Apparently LG changed the baseband for gingerbread. You can install the o3d baseband and you will probablly be able to call/text. But you wont be able to use data. I NEED my data connection for sending emails out in the field so that's a big no-go for me.

I currently have an HTC HD7S but being a tech head, I'm getting bored.
Is it worth getting the Thrill or is its already dead in the custom rom area?
Not dead, but calm. In actuality, though, there's been a jumpstart in posting the last couple days and a few have been promising to me. Additionally, GB is now scheduled to be released the 27th for the optimus 3d which should give the thrill a custom gb rom in days by that point. I'm days away from my trade deadline, but I'm staying pretty devoted to the phone I've decided I love. Now if only we could get a stock browser without this damn toolbar at the bottom...

I just picked mine up last Friday. I'm coming off an Atrix, and so far I'm not looking back.
The screen is fantastic, the phone is smooth, and it doesn't seem to have some of the issues the Attic suffers from.
It was between this and the Galaxy S II, and I wanted the HDMI. Also, the Thrill felt better.
Besides gimmick or not, the 3D is cool.

Thanks for the opinions. A family member of my has it and I've had the pleasure of using it. But I'm pretty much set on getting it.
Also, I was reading yesterday the ICS source code is released. Any devs interested in that?
EDIT: Honeycomb is available as well
I was going to say I don't know if I had an upgrade right now if it would be the phone I'd pick. I'd more than likely get a Note. But I've come to really like this phone and wouldn't trade it unless a Thrill with a 4.5 inch screen, 16 gig storage, and ICS came out.
Of course, then it'd still be a Thrill

Hmmmm...I downloaded xScope pro when it was the Amazon free app of the day. But I have yet to use it as my browser. Guess it's time to give it a shot.
IMO, I wouldn't waste my time on the Thrill. I stuck it out for a while thinking that LG actually gave a crap about us, just to be let down. They have committed to a Gingerbread release on the 21st to the International version. No commitment at all to the Thrill other than maybe by the end of December or early January.
With the very slow development going on it, I decided I had enough and jumped to the SGS2 Skyrocket instead. Do I miss the 3D ability?.....Of course. But I gained LTE (when available in my area) and an 8MP camera instead with increased speed over the Thrill and a lot more dev potential (and is going on already).
I would have a hard time now recommending anyone to the Thrill that cares about overall speed and performance, let alone support from the manufacturer. If someone wants 3D and doesn't mind a luke warm device, then the Thrill may suit them fine.
Just my opinion. I had such high hopes for it when I bought it.

Seriously, some people forget it's a phone. Without fast development, it's still a damn good one for now, and with development, it'll be amazing in the future. How many MP my camera is, I couldn't care less. It's more about the size of the cmos sensor than the resolution, and the only phone I'll trade for when it's available, nexus of course, will have one nice 5mp cam. Samsung let me down for way too long with my craptivate, so I can wait a bit for GB again. As for the O3D version, that'll be close enough. Oh, by the time LTE reaches my house (and most), I'm sure I'll be eligable for another upgrade. Loving this phone, despite my few hates.

Ask yourself this question: Do I want ROM selection? The answer to the title of this thread is the opposite of your answer to that question.
If you don't flash ROMs, the Thrill is better than the Atrix or Atrix 2, its definately the best phone in the <$99 price range. But for a little more the GS II (i777 not skyrocket, the skyrocket will be only slightly less of a ghost town than here) is teasing you with so many ROM choices it will burn a hole in your SD card.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
The funny thing is Ive got all the bugs worked out of my Thrill. The thing has ZERO issues for me. I cant think of a single reason not to recommend the Thrill. I could care less about a selection of Roms. Most are just re-themes of the same..exact..thing. All I need is one solid rom and Im golden. That was the thing I LOVED about my Aria. For the longest time there were only 2-3 roms available for it but they were all rock solid and offered everything you could get out of a rom. We had ONE kernel available to us, but it worked flawlessly, so we didnt need anymore kernels. Move along to the Captivate and while I had 200,000 roms to choose from none of them felt finished, half of them were the same rom I had just flashed with a different battery icon, and they all had issues. Even CM7 for the Captivate never felt as solid as it did on my Aria. I never ended up being happy with my Captivate even though it was the "superior "phone to my Aria.
The Thrill is a solid phone. It had a lot of issues upon release and a LOT of people didnt stick around because of that. Gingerbread is here, and from what ive been hearing its already made the Thrill into even more of a beast and its only a pre-release leak (unfortunately I dont have a Windows machine so I cant flash the baseband to even try it ). And with the ICS source released we will have ICS fairly quickly. Gingerbread was a tough port due to ZERO Omap4 devices running it (it wasnt just the Thrill) so we had to try to start from scratch, but the first ICS device has almost the exact CPU (higher clockspeed and better imaging capabilities) and the GPU IS the same. That alone will kickstart development of ICS as we can port ICS rather than try to build it from scratch.
But enough of my ranting Im going to sleep!

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell we're waiting on LG. The p920 has GB in Europe, and it has IDENTICAL hardware. The blame lies solely on AT&T, and, unless they surprise us real quick, their breaking of their agreement with Google.

How long has this phone been out? Like 90 days? Maybe running on almost 4 months? Yes, I know that GB has been out for awhile but we all purchased the phone knowing it could take up to a year to receive GB. We also know that LG and AT&T are not hte most timely on updates.
Yes yes I know it's a forum. But it seems like half the threads in this section is about being upset that we don't have GB or ICS and "I hate this phone!"
If y'all are that unhappy, call AT&T and get a different phone. I think all new phones are under a year long warranty. And just call 'em and tell 'em the phone is shutting down and rebooting randomly.
As for me, I have a couple upgrades open and could trade this phone in if I wanted. But, eh, I'd just rather wait until we get some quad core phones out. Orrrrr...AT&T gets the Galaxy Note. A bigger screen would be sweet.

Um. No. There's a move to get a lot of phones on ICS. But there are a number of devices that will not see ICS at all. Google has even stated that not all phones have the software to run ICS.

Really? Rooted rom or OTA? Cause my buddies is still on 1.6, and my brothers LG Vortex is on something similar. I doubt these phones have had support for a long time now. To claim any phone will have carrier OTA support a year from now seems like a shot in the dark. New phones are coming out every day and to expect more than one sizable update at this point seems preposterous.

My buddy bought an Atrix and was unhappy with the phone entirely for a week until he got GB that changed his opinion completely. I was about to buy an Atrix when I heard about this phone and decided to wait. I (not so) secretly hoped that all the delays meant we were getting GB on launch and pray to the Android gods every night for GB. I had hoped we got it within a month of release at the latest. I'm not sure anyone expected such a long delay for it. I quite like the phone (size and 3D) but am very frustrated by the battery, constant reboots, freezing, ect. I shouldn't have to depend on a 3rd party app (Juice Defender) to block my phone from using the internet just to get it through the day with minimal to no use, and another app (Watchdog) to stop the "Suspend" command from spooling up my processor to full capacity resulting in chain reboots till my phone can get a grip on it OS.
I love my phone, hate all the complaining about it, but really can't blame everyone for doing it. Starting new threads to do it and ****ting up every new thread posted with complaints is getting old but it's to be expected.
I am impatiently waiting the 2.3 update. Unlike most thrill 4g users, i have not experienced the random reboots, but like some users i have been experiencing the wifi with a mind of it's own. i am well beyond my return date, so looks like i am stuck with it...
Hey everyone... finally got myself a thrill last night It is amazing!! I rooted it with superoneclick and put cwm on it already but now what rom should I get? I read that the cyanogenmod roms doesn't have working hdmi, and 3d!! Which is what this phone is mainly about. Any suggestion on a stable working rom that doesn't interfere with 3d features or HDMI? Like a gingerbread rom with sense ui port? Or is this phone too new and developers haven't had the time to port it over yet? Thanks for all the answers everyone!

Were just really waiting for a north american release of ginger bread but there are some good ones thriller and doom also if 4g isnt that big of a deal optimus 3d thread has lots of good roms
I did check the development thread but didn't see much rom that is consider stable. I would like to keep everything functional, 4g, 3D, and HDMI. I saw thriller rom but there was something that was missing from it that didn't catch my eye. Also what will putting the rom from the optimus 3d do to the thrill? what feature will be missing.
thrill seeker check that one out it removes all the crap apps that come with the phone and help phone run smother better some have overclocks and new themes
We are essentially asking the same question. Can the Moderators combine our threads? Here's my post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475388
The only bit of advice I have about the different ROMs to share from my thread is that GB baseband and custom ROMs do improve performance but the CM7 is supposedly AMAZING. Anyways... I'm about to put CM7 on my phone. I know I will lose 3D and HDMI but I think I can live without it... after all it is rather gimmicky.
3D is what this phone is all about, I guess I have to wait for mods to explore more on this phone.
