Hello...
Since there isn't a P990H specific forum or ROMs available, I thought I would my questions here:
1. Besides the baseband (i.e. RF) side, are the P990 and the P990H same? How about P999?
2. If #1 is true, I assume I can use the custom ROMs for either P990 or P999 for P990H. I looked the CM zip files, and there isn't a baseband update included, so I am inclined to think I am right. Does anyone know for sure?
3. What would you consider the most stable custom ROM at the moment? Modaco FR19, or CM7? I am after the ASOP experience as much as possible.
I just bought a P990H (to be used with AT&T SIM), when it arrives, I'll be diving into getting a custom ROM installed and wanted to make sure I don't end up with an expensive brick.
Your help is much appreciated.
As far as I know, most of the p990 Roms and kernels are not compatible with the P999. You should see the pages of the roms you would like and ask their coders. if they are compatible.
OK... so, if the P990 ROMs aren't compatible with the P999 ROMs, how about the P990H? I've seen people with P990H who flashed P990 ROMs, but I am not sure if these are limited to a specific set of ROMs or all.
have a P990Hn and customs roms are working for me... The best working rom i found is the Modaco Gr2

Thanks for the confirmation! Did you just follow the same instructions as the P990H for loading custom ROMs?
I would love to hear your assessment of the Gr2. Is there any glaring thing that doesn't work?
By the way, are you using the stock baseband, or did you update it? If you updated, which one would you recommend?

Everything is the same! No special instructions to follow
And everything is working on this rom and it's been pretty stable for an alpha the only issue i had it was because i didn't wipe before and after the rom installation.
There is also a Gr3 comming at the end of the month so it's only getting better

No change on the baseband, i use the stock one
From the research i made it look like the only difference between these phones are the frequency they can work on (yours is on 850/1900 i think) other than that i don't think the modem on those phones are different.
i was looking for some info as well. does flashing a custom rom change the baseband or 3G bands of the p990h?

No, if you dont update the baseband (and you shouldn't) then you'll be okay.. You should probably also save the RIL from original ROM (and put back to the new one) so that everything is working as it should. the RIL is located in /system/lib/lge-ril.so
Thanks For the info guys
Hello,
I'm looking for some info on the things I should check before flashing a kernel on my Note...
what's important ?
what versions are compatible ?
how do you find out ?
it's a french phone with the following characteristics :
Baseband : BUKJ1
Kernel : KJA
Firmware : Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock
I'd appreciate a "universal" answer or link to some info on this, so I can see for myself next time I have a choice to make on this, or at least a tip on which CF kernel I'm supposed to flash to avoid bricking it
thanks !
sorry wrong forum - delete
Even I have the question!
Not Wrong Section!
What if I install another Kernel on my Note?
My current Stock kernel is KK3 what if I installed another one like the one of the following?
KJ1, KJ4, KJ6/KJ7, KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4, KKA, KK9
Would it brick? OR Just do crazy stuffs like Network incompatibilities, H/W Module errors?
Would it Still Work?
And are kernels just Different coz they are from devices of different locations?
Need Help on this !
I stumbled upon some short info in a reply, and tried it a few times myself.
so, baseline is that your kernel MUST match your ROM version, or closest possible, as long as you do not yet have a custom recovery installed
(because if you mess things up then it's -best case- download mode and odin flash).
I was on KJA, flashed a KJ1 kernel and had a few problems at boot but nothing that prevented me from using the system.
(nb : numbering system is 1-9 then A-Z, so KJ1 is 9 versions away from KJA, but a lot more away from KK1)
when you have a rooted, recovery'ed kernel, you can flash an entire ROM at once, which usually have matching kernel and system versions.
in this case, you have no problem since both are made for each other.
I may be wrong but it seems to work that way.
in your case I'd flash any kernel in the KK# series (preferably KK3 since it's the closest one to your original kernel), but only if you plan on flashing a rom afterwards.
it's useless if you don't, anyway.
Thanks For the Answer.. Just to confirm,
I'm one of the HTC Dream user's & used to create ROM's & MOD's
Had ported 3.0 to Dream.. with zrFreak and other's So I'm interested into this:
Can you Explain The PIT, CSC ... all those stuffs ?
Just wanna know what Refers to what partition..
nope, I don't know much about Odin flashing, been following tutorials when I needed to mostly...
keep in mind I'm only a user, not a dev =)
(although one that has done quite a bit on his phones so far and is not afraid to try or code a bit)
Ah lol okies...
Coz I'm planning to start customizing SGN making new ROM's...
Maybe this post might help. It has some very specific statements about kernel & rom versions at the end of the original post.

Hi,
I've tried several custom roms, while they are much faster than stock rom and i do find faults in them so always go back to stock rom.
However I want to deodex my stock rooted rom. the reason for this is that i need this patch for arabic on my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424144
can someone help me to do this, all other threads are for other phones, is the method the same? and are the requirements also the same?
finally, if there is a way to get arabic full and not broken up like what i currently have, can some help with that instead, because that is what I really need.
cheers and thanks in advance.

You have 2 options mate:
1. Easy way:
- Download a stock, deodexed and prerooted ROM from [ROM] Stock ...LA4,LA6,LB1 ROM[Stock Deodexed & Tweaked Version]
- Go to that patch thread you posted and get the patch for the ROM you downloaded
- Flash and profit
2. Hard way:
- Go to [GUIDE] dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now with SGS2 support (Windows/Linux/Mac) and get the kitchen up and running in your machine
- Deodex your ROM by yourself
- Get the Arabic patch
- Flash and profit
EDIT: You actually have another option if all you're looking for is only Arabic support:
- Got to [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1 place,Latest XXLC2
- Download the ROMs with the region code of JPXX (where XX is e.g. LA)
- Flash and profit
However, you may want to get the directly rootable ROMs to gain root and CWM recovery after flashing but never mind this if you don't care about root

as most of us now have knowledge that the ics official rom is out but only the german one, is there a stock rom which is pre rooted and pre deodexed? just like what's available for the GB rom through here.

Wrong section.
This OTA should be the stagefright fix., you will need this update to receive/install android 6. You have to be on the latest firmware to do so. But if you are rooted with custom recovery you will have to go back to stock anyway, so you can flash a firmware including this fix than.

Right, without this stagefrigth OTA you won´t be notified when further updates are available.
And yes, I´m talking about stock firmware. To receive OTA updates you´ll have to be on latest stock recovery/firmware and be unrooted.
You find all this things like firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533, tutorials to flash them http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t287365 or tools to do it automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/tool-restore-to-stock-firmware-flasher-t3016236 and this really good one incl. stagefrightfix http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612 in this index:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/moto-g-2014-index-threads-t3033453 .
So you don´t need to have a nandroid backup to go back to stock.
But you will lose your apps and personal data of the internal memory, you can backup your apps with titanium but basically it´s the hard process.
Even if you use cyanogen mod you maybe can dirty flash the small updates, the step from cm12 to cm13 demands a clean flash and your data will be lost.
Xposed is working on all versions imho, rooted stock, cm or other custom roms. A lot of custom roms have a bunch of nice tweaks on board.
At the end of the day you have to options:
- Flash latest stock firmware and recovery (with the loss of your personal data) and wait for official motorola 6.0, then flash TWRP and root your device the recommended way. Flash/install your favorite tweaks and rootapps like xposed (There is a 6.0 OTA of the brazillian soaktest available, which works on XT1069 and XT1068 but I think that´s not what you are looking for).
- Choose one of the upcoming custom roms based on cm 13 sources which bring a lot of tweaks with it and can be used with xposed also. Some are already available but still have some bugs, you´ll have to decide if it´s worth to wait until everything is more stable (Your personal data will get lost also).
I´m on a custom rom and kernel and I will wait until my favorite rom will be availabe on 6.0 or another one will satisfy my needs as a daily driver.
Hope I could help you.

Yes you help me a lot, but some thing are not clear : advantage/inconvenients between rooted xposed stock VS custom rom : about update process only..
Thanks a lot !
If you are on latest stock rom you will be notified on your XT1068, no matter if you are rooted or not. You won´t be able to install it when you are not on stock rom/recovery and with system changes like xposed.
About updating:
Most custom roms are cm or asop based, so there is no big difference between CM "official" and other custom roms.
In some cases you can dirty flash the small steps (6.0 to 6.0.1 or something like that) which means you have not to wipe your data etc.
A dirty flash is often possible but not recommended because you can have problems like fc´s afterwards or even worse softbrick your device.
In most cases you have to clean flash a new version which always means take the hard road. But I did this procedure very often now and it takes me one evening to set up my phone incl. installing apps, tweaks and so on.
If you chose a stock rom with xposed and your favorite modules the update process is similar to the one on a custom rom as far as wiping is necessary. But you have to do some more work.
You have to flash stock recovery again, full unroot the phone and revert the system changes you made, often the much safer way is flash back to an untouched stock rom which includes a stock recovery. The stock recovery can be extracted from the firmware and is always part of it. So if you flash stock the recovery will become stock too.
The advantage of a custom rom is not just the inbuilt tweaks, they are often more fluid and battery friendly than stock roms,they are mostly pre-rooted and xposed works on the most of them too.
The update process depends on the rom here, sometimes you can dirty flash the small steps, sometimes it always needs a clean flash.
Hi
I've read all your explanations, thanks a lot, all is more clear for me now
If i try to resume, custom rom has these advantages against stock rom for the update process :
-No need to flash untouched stock rom before update.
-No need to reroot after update.
-No need to reflash custom recovery after update.
But both custom and stock rom has these inconvenients :
-Wipe necessary after updates. (sometimes littles updates can be did without wipe with custom roms).
So i think i prefer to choose custom rom, and i think that the best solution for me is to wait a CM 13 (android 6) stable release. Do you think it is a good solution ?
Thanks

Yes, you I think you've got the essential infos.
Waiting for a stable cm13 release is a good choice, but keep your eyes open, even now there are some modified roms based on asop/cm13 that have less bugs and glitches like original cm, Nexus experience http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3143528 as one example or the very promising Viper rom and kernel.:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3261838 just to name two of a lot good projects here on xda.
In the meantime you can try a 5.1.1 rom like minimal os which is rock stable.
But it's your choice when and what you going to try. Sometimes it needs a bit of experimentation.
Good luck!

As you are from france I suppose you have the european firmware on your XT1068 which is the one with "DSDSALL" in it´s name.
Please confirm that in your "about phone" settings (firmware version and build Nr) !
Just for your info: DE stands for germany,BR for brazil,GB for great britain and so on.
So if you are sure that you are on the european firmware the second firmware from above is the right for your phone: RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16_cid7_CFC.xml.zip.
LXB22.99-16 is the latest 5.0.2 build.

Hi,
I didn't made any flash since our last discussion and i'm always on Android 5.0.2 without stagefright fix. I will choose between CM13 (when it will be stable) and Stock MM when it will be official.
Meanwhile, i downloaded the update by mistake and it prompt me to install it every day. I can only report it but not fully cancel it.
Do you know how or where i can delete the downloaded file ?
Wanting to goo ahead and update. But why pretty much having to lose all my data anyway to restore root street update I am wondering something else. As it is the device has a lot of bloatware and I am entertaining just installing a stock Android ROM. My question is though,: I know on a custom ROM you can't use the stock LG camera due to it lacking the correct certificates or something similar. However will a stock Android ROM have those and allow me to just aside load the camera as a system app?
If not something else I am curious about: had anyone had success changing camera shortcut volume key on the G4 to another app and have it unlock the screen properly like the stock camera? Closest I have seen is the G4tweaksbox but after launching you still have to unlock the phone which defeats the purpose all together.

you mean the framework. its not present in CM or AOSP roms. well it is its just missing stock Lg binaries i think... and wuality isnt the same..
for data you could try titanium if you root it..
custom roms thers 2 types.. the ones based on stock firmware they just add a few thing maybe debloated and mods.. its the same as stock rom but with goodies.. then we have cm13 MM and AOSP roms that do not have the stock framework. like for example MM 20i stock firmware it eill tell you 20i.. if aosp it will be mentioned in thread of rom...

Yea framework is what I was looking for. So pretty much any stock based ROM, even if debloated will run the LG camera five e?

stock debloated means some LG apps removed or from carrier.. maybe no you tube,no chrome ect.
not sure if it will work.. if camera says aosp or CM then it must be used . if it says stock based then stock firmware or any custom rom based on stock firmare..
not sure about camera if you have link i can take a look at it..
see pictures it tells you what kind of rom is it. some doesnt have it but it should say in title..
I'm not sure if you still need a bit of help with this, but if you're looking for a stock Android ROM, download an AOSP or CM ROM, install it, then if you're simply worried about camera quality, download this and install with TWRP... http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/app-snap-camera-lg-g4-t3286259 ... This will replace CM's camera and replace it with one that should be optimised for the G4. I used it and personally did not see any difference between this and the stock camera. I personally am not currently using CM on my G4 because I was having troubles with it managing my mobile data, but that may be fixed by now or it may have been on my end when it happened. Hope this helped!
