Do we have any active developers currently looking into this device or looking to attempt rooting this one or is that currently a dead scene, thanks to everyone here.
I might possibly pick the v40 soon if not today.

Little screenshots for everyone
This will come soon enough. Except for Nexus/Pixel phones and the like, it takes some amount of time for development to really take hold. The hold-up for the V40 is that LG has not made the bootloader able to be unlocked. If I had to guess, it will probably take a couple of months. IIRC, that is approximately how long it took for the G7 to be made unlockable. After that, expect another month or two before developers start getting much stuff out there.
For me, at least, the phone is good enough out of the box that it will probably take about that long before I start getting bored with it. Luckily, it's far less heavily themed than Samsung's Touchwiz, and there is a relatively small amount of bloatware that came on it!

Let me 1st say a huge thank you to dzo and all the devs I have been following the vouge andoid from .9 - 2.2 from sd loading to nand flashing, from having to boot data in windows defore booting in to android, from the bule keyboard to rouge tools, and it has been a hell of a ride. The vouge was my 1st smart phone and I hated wm6 but android open up new doors, and hacking became a way of life. Im sad to say I was always in the background chicking for the next update, and never more then an end user. But everyone here always made me feel welcomed. I will miss my vouge thank you all for never letting it die and taking it places I never dreamed. I will miss all of you the most
however all things must come to an end, and im moving on with my new toy. I just picked a samsung galaxy s and will be joining that group. Thank you all again for last 2 years

Can we get a hip-hip hooray?
It's alright, boy. Some day most of us will move to another device. By the way, how did you get your Samsung Galaxy S? I want one used and cheap
Welcome to the sgs club
Hope you enjoy the new phone! Congrats!

Jamezelle, congrats on the modship!
I must say, going from my tilt with 2.2 to the sgs with 2.1 was a little bit of a disappointment but it's a great phone. Although I wish the community was as great as this one was.

hey Mssmison are you doing any development for SGS
i have the Verizon Fascinate and i know you are not in the US but i was hoping we might have a developer with you kind of back ground
if you bo build a Rom, will it work for Verizon (crosses fingers), let me know if you need any testers
got to dump this touchwiz crap they even build "bing" in to it
i never though i would see the day where "bing" would be the default search on an android
its so odd to go from 2.2 on my vogue to 2.1 on my SGS
that is why i will miss this group
everyone here worked so hard and got out updates so fast i think this is the best group on xda

i agree so that means we need to make it great
i just wish it was all one group because having it broken up by US carrier seams point less it would be easier for everyone to work together if it was one group
if you star developing roms and you need a tester for Verizon Fascinate let me know would love to get the SGS group working as well as this one did

i got my SGS from Best Buy in the US
and it was Free!!! which is the biggest reason i got this phone
Best Buy is running a deal where every Friday for the month of Oct. they are offering a different phone from each US carrier for free with a new 2 year contract
my contract with Verizon ended months ago and just like you i was waiting for a great deal because i was not going to pay $200 for a new phone when i had my vouge that worked great
I've also been following the development here. I am so very thankful for everyones hard work towards making the vogue as up to date as it can be. I last ran Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] before my phone broke. Somehow the charger I used at work fried the thing and I had to move on. I now have an xperia x10a. I have some mixed feelings about the thing but I guess it is upgrade enough. Anyway. Thanks again. I will still keep reading most of the stuff here on the vogue. That thing was pretty good to me.
when i see posts like this it saddens me because i know there is one less user to continue the legacy of the 6900. however it gladdens me that individuals will keep up with technology.
brings to mind a saying i got from my dad... all technology gets out dated - at that point we can chose to keep it alive for something else, or toss it.
he made that comment to me when my 486box turned Unix bit the big one via lightning strike.
good luck on your new journey sir- congrats on your new technology- may it suit you well.
*MOD EDIT* FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS USE OLD INSTRUCTIONS. Go check the sticky for another guide, as this method is not recommended!!!
Thanks to Getaphixx, the guy who dumped the phone, for testing this out for me! He has the worlds first rooted Atrix, CONGRATS! Thanks to Fixter for confirming on a retail model.

This is a development thread, so please help keep this thread clean. Questions like "What is the advantage of root?", "What is an encrypted bootloader", "What is a locked bootloader", SHOULD NOT be asked in this thread. Use Google or go here. Any relevant useful information will be posted in the stickies in due time after the device is released. Thanks for your continued support of the devs but let's keep things tidy for everyone else.

Thanks Designgears and youareme7 and others that assisted in this endeavor I wasn't made aware of.
It has been a refreshing experience dealing with XDA and their Devs. I only hope future contributers are lucky enough to encounter someone as genuine and intelligent as Designgears. This interwebz would be a better place for it. Look forward to getting more phones for some rooting fun with ya'll!
Also A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to those who've donated to me and others here. What may be a small token of your appreciation speaks volumes to the type of community members we have here! And receiving money is never a bad thing!
Well that was anti-climatic. lol
So what's next on your plate? Encrypted bootloader by Sunday? (I know it might not be encrypted, just making a point.)
No joke the NSA couldn't crack the boot loader.
Grats Hope further development will come! and no Problems will arise.

Man it is nice to see that you're going to be active on the atrix DG, you made the captivate worth keeping as long as I have.

+1 Totally agree - had it not been for DG and some of the other devs, i would have surely abandoned my captivate within the first week i owned it!
As always, nicely done DG. +100 online respect points.
Fantastic! This was something I was hoping to see before I put the money down for my Atrix. Now let's see that boot loader folks! Fingers crossed.

Speaking of the bootloader, DG, will you and Getaphixx be able to put your heads together and find out if the bootloader is locked, or will you actually need to have one in hand to play with before you can check.
Does this mean Froyo built-in wireless tethering can be enabled? And junk apps can be removed? I don't have any experience with Moto so I am not sure if an unlocked boot loader is required for those.

Yep! 10char
Im amazed that they have already got root for this! I really cant wait to see what gets cooked up for the Atrix in the coming weeks im super excited!
What method was used for root...rageagainsthecage?
I had faith presale... lol I knew this thing was going to have everyone on here's attention.
I will transfer funds to my paypal and go 50ea. as well. ROCK ON GUYS!
Can anyone quickly advise if it would be feasible (if the bootloader is locked) to build a distributed computing XDA app so all us non-chefs could help out in that way?
Make that 75ea. I'm so excited. lol. (bank trans takes 3-5 days so prob end of next week).
I'm confused as to why no one knows if the boot loader is locked or not if there's a rooted one in the wild? please be gentle I'm noob-ish, I've been installing custom roms for years but I read what I need to, in order to get that phone done how I want it then usually drop out again so I'm not very familiar with all the processes going on behind the curtain.
I think this is bs. No roms,no nothing for this damn phone still. Its been months and no progress. I am not a developer and yes i complaining. Nobody can say that the bootloader is locked down or its because of kitkat... look at the g2 the g3 its insane with how much roms there is. I dont believe anything or anyone saying the bootloader is locked....A BUNCH OF BS!!!. I am going to look into developing for this phone because we are at a standstill for far too long. Gonna install linux on my computer when i have free time and atart putting in work.

Feel exactly the same.
This phone is like a king among phones, but a king who is in exile
Even with stock this phone is simply outstanding and I'm sure LG will update it to lollipop
But it needs lots of developer love for sure
I'm also learning how to develop, just for the love of this device
Sent from my LG-D950 using XDA Free mobile app
Not by any means a developer, but I'm pretty tech savvy and know a few languages, so if i can help in any way let me know. I want to get this ball rolling!
We are gonna need some help from mattwheat also. Busy this weekend but will check out some things soon....
Guys the bootloader is definitely locked down tighter than sh#!. But there is a work around. I.e. "BUMP"
With the Flex 2 now out I figured all hope WS gone for this device. If I knew more or had the time to learn like I used to have we would be rockin some AOKP, RESERECTION, OR some CM-12 based ROM.
I used to be on night shift for years and had all the time in the world after work (hence my 3am and 4am post). But I've left that company to start a new job that is now day shift. Which allows me more time with my son. But cuts into the amount of time I used to have. But I wouldn't change it for the world. But I will help anytime I can. But I think by summer I may move to either the Nexus 6 or the Flex 2 <--- only if the boot loader is unlockable like the LG G3 is.
It is a shame about the boot loader. Gave the flex to my daughter and moved on to the
Nexus 6 and have no regrets.
Great news cm12 incoming.check out lg-devs at github

Since it is rootable and a custom recovery can be installed. It should be a near walk in the park for the devs.
XDA has become part of my morning routine now days. Getting up, eating and checking to see if any breakthrough came with the Sprint G4. I may just be blind, however I don't see anything coming soon. Granted it's a /newer/ phone which plays a huge role. Anyways does anybody know of anything relating to what's going on with the Sprint G4 rooting process or possible new ROMS that may be coming out if I didn't see a root already available?
Note: I'm also not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this but I know my fair share.

Thank-you for the link! After I posted this I found another thread where a few developers have managed to get root with all carriers however it isn't necessarily the "easiest" way to succeed in their efforts. They just don't want so many bricked phones which I understand. However, thank-you again!
this crap is taking ridiculously long.

Sprint G4 is already rooted, and chances of bootloader unlock are slim to none.

If you follow the directions carefully then its not so bad.
So I've had enough of the G4. It just doesn't support development and it makes me very sad. I've bought an HTC 10 which is arguably the most developer friendly phone right now. (besides Nexus of course) I'm sorry to be going as I really thought the G4 had potential. It's obvious now-it does not. If anyone would like to take over my development projects, (MellowMallow roms) please let me know. I'm still happy to help out, but will not be actively developing anything for the G4 any longer.
Miss you guys,
tabp0le
You're a great dev, Tabp0le. Currently rocking your ZVB ROM which is keeping this forsaken phone bearable to me. You definitely deserve greener pastures than this and am looking forward to trying whatever you develop for the HTC 10 which may be my escape as well.
Eff the G4, see you on the other side!
I agree! This phone is gone as soon as the new Nexus or Pixel phones hit the market! I am so done with LG that I will never own another of their products!
Ive been kickin my s6 pretty ritcheous phone but horrible bttery
Don't blame you, the G4 is awful. Can't wait until I can switch! Good luck to you.

Your decision is completely understandable. I am disappointed for those of us still stuck with our G4s, but know you will make a great contribution in the HTC forums. Good luck and God speed. Thanks for all your efforts.
