Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/01/13)

Go ahead and send it to LG if it's still under warranty. Whoever told you a month lied to you. The normal turn around for a phone work order is about 2 weeks. I had to send mine in to have the motherboard replaced and It was gone aprox. 2 weeks. All you've gotta do is make sure it's under warranty and start a work order with LG. They'll give you the return auth. (RA), address to ship to and all. Just send it in and wait.

You might as well since you've already bought a new phone. ;)

I did the same thing and LG replaced the flash memory on my phone and reloaded the operating system. 2 weeks. They keep it maximum 7 days after it's in the repair department

Hi guys.

OK so I've been using CTMod on a Prevail for a while now.
First off - Thanks, Blooddawn, I have loved the ROM. No denying that phone is a POS, though. But CTMod is great.
Now, I'm thinking to go get a different phone, and since I see there's a CTMod for the Marquee, I'm thinking I might go pick one up. I saw it on sale at $100 today.

So, I have a question:
Does this have a function like the KoumaMod did on the Prevail, to use a partition of SD card like it's RAM? I used KoumaMod to trick this POS into thinking it had 2gig RAM and it ran much better. I don't see anything listed like that, but after just reading the description in the OP and skimming through the thread, I don't know what all features are in all the things listed there...If I can OC a bit, and have more RAM like the Prevail did, then it looks like this might be an OK phone...course the guy convinced me the prevail would be too, and it's not. the only reason I didnt go back and beat him with it was because I found CTMod and that runs great. Saint Blooddawn, saving lives through good works :D

If not, I don't know what I'll buy. Looking at the Venice too but there's no ROM or anything for it and I hate Bloat and OS limits, etc...so idk. The way boost stock phones come, it's like they think we're chumps. So I don't know which is better, a Venice out of the box or a Marquee with CTMod, or something else entirely. If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it, if not just knowing this will help me in my research.

Thanks in advance.

No there is no kernel mod for the marquee. However I also came from a prevail and I can tell you the. Marquee had plenty of ram for what it can do, as well as a much bigger internal drive so no need for app2sd or sd-ext.

You can use the hk toolbox blood has included to control your Governor, scheduler, and oc. You can also enable zram and some other goodies in the toolbox to help boost it's performance.

Look at the marquee like kia. Not the best car on the market for sure, but for the price you really can't complain.

Ps the marquee also has a great screen compared to the prevail. But be prepared to mother@#*! your battery a few times.

If you're sticking with boost, check out the galaxy s2. Samsungs are pretty hard to brick

it has the play store. if its not showing up go to settings > accounts and sign in then you should be able to access it in the app drawer.
 
Bought the Marquee today. Amazon had it at 110, so I called Best buy and had them match the price, then used all my best buy rewards from the last year, and got it shipped for next to nothing.
Can't wait till it gets here and I can throw CTMod on it...and just throw the prevail :)

Thanks again everyone.
 
I always wonder.............. since CT Mod has the roaming menu on booth boost and sprint, does it really roam on boost or is it just there?

I ended up getting a pair of the 3500mAH extended batteries off eBay, plus an offline "desktop" charger; the difference is quite noticeable. Plus, when I forget to charge my phone overnight it takes only a minute to swap out for a fresh battery, and pop the old one on the charger.

Those batteries makes this beauty looks fat LOL
 
A little troubleshooting help please? I had my alarm set (miClock that comes with the rom) for real freaking early. Now when I open the alarm to change the alarm time (or do anything with it, really), I get the force close message and am not able to do anything clock-related. Unfortunately... my alarm still goes off everyday at 5:30, and I would love to change that. Any suggestions? Already tried rebooting with no change. You guys are the best, and my sleepy self puts my trust in you.

You can try clearing the app data for miClock (via settings, manage apps) and even from recovery wipe the cache and dalvik cache.
 
OK, so, got my Marquee today. Had it shipped to the office. For my lunch break, I opened the box, activated, rooted, added Rom Manager/CWM, and flashed CTMod. Done in a breeze. Sync'd the contacts from my old phone through gmail, added a couple apps, and the entire process of upgrading phone - from opening box to the silly little touches of finishing theme install and boot animation replacement (when I got home) all probably took a grand total of >2hrs. Quick and painless, because of everyone here and the great info I found scouring these threads over the few days of shipping time. THANKS EVERYONE - but especially thanks to Blood and all devs who put hours in on this. It is much appreciated.
Cheers.

Welcome to the club! :D Nice to see a new face around here.
 
I just updated to 3.8 yesterday, and I'm having problems with Gmail. It FC's every time I try to open it. I downloaded and installed it fresh from the play store. It opened fine right after I installed it; I even opened a couple of emails. Every time since, however, I can even get to my inbox. It force closes immediately. All other google apps work fine. Has anyone else had this issue, or an idea of what's causing it or how to fix it?

Any help is appreciated.
