Came across this post, but do not have enough technical know how to interpret if this can be used.

That guy posts everywhere, and just because he half arsed got the BO kernel to work on the LU he believes that porting over the whole OS should be easy. In reality, I have no idea how he even got the Spec kernel to work on the LU as it should have boot looped. As for the CM9, they most likely ported the Nitro over to the LU and that is what is up there as they are almost identical phones. More so then the LU compared to the Spec.
 
Btw, the cyanogen 9 release candidates have nitro hd, I cannot tell one end of ROM from the other. Do you think that's an easier port over to spectrum?

Thanks for your answer on the posted link.
 
Porting any other rom to the spectrum is hard/near impossible due to the fact that we run CDMA/LTE and everyone else in the world runs GSM. There is no easy fix for this, nor do any of the driver file names match up correctly. Porting is just not feasible at this point as you really need a full time dev to start from scratch to get it working.
 
I got a boy who is at I/O right now who texted me earlier while eating lunch with the founder of cyanogen... He is talking to him about the Spectrum on or behalf...hopefully it benefits us... :D

mmmyep. The work needed to get the D2G ported and dev'd from the DX roms was unbelievably high, because of the CDMA/GMS switch. It takes some serious dev knowledge to make it happen.
 
Thanks to all responders, I understand now that a port over is an unlikely pathway.

I hope cyanogen gets interested :-) id be interested to hear what the response was.
 
This community is very small, and extremely generous in donating devices to developers. They've contributed what, 6 or 7 phones so far? Really just need to find a willing CM team dev to work on it.

The community has been very generous in getting devices into the hands of dev's, and I am personally way thankful we have been! I can say for a fact that CM is being worked every nite by a few talented devs who will get this working.

Well lets see, Cyanogen works for Samsung who is a rival of LG (both are well known Korean companies)

So..... I dunno.

I think we need inside photos of the motherboards of the VS920 and LU6200.

Ricardo Cerqueria works with Cyanogen and he was there... My buddy was talking with him as he is responsible for most lg upkeep on cyanogen
 
so what happened at this lunch that you speak of? lol. is there any word of official support for the spectrum?
 
I found that p930/lu6200/spectrum kernel driver architecture and source almost the same, so cm9 kernel sharing is possible.just specific drive change.

analysis the kernel please.
 
There's so much potential for this phone. It's got great hardware with less than stellar vendor supplied software.
 
Man I miss the OG Droid 1, CWM and ROMs, Kernels, baseband, flashing heaven.
Got spoiled on that device, LG Spec is unlocked, what's the beef?:D
Maybe soon.
