Irc is easier. But groupme allows images and other stuff.

Are you guys working on your own CM9 or are you working on Giantpunes? You could try his. Sounds like CM7 that he had built works fine if you do just a little bit of work on it. If we get CM7, wont it be easier to port CM9 then? I mean it atleast gives us all a sense of accomplishment for destroying LG's dreams of keeping this device locked down. :D Hopefully something is figured out. Sounds like a few ideas are mentioned as porting a driver from the 3.0 kernel, some kind of "thingy" someone mentioned that is failing, and a eri.xml edit or some sort. Come on everyone, giving up never got us this far. It took several months just to get cwm on this phone, a whole rom should have taken longer anyways. We all expected this. :] I'm not gonna gove up. I'm searching Google all over for why CM9 has failed on other devices and trying to learn about how read problems in logcats, and applying that knowledge to see if it's the same problem other failed CM9 builds have had.

Have you tried getting the support from an official CM Developer at all and asking one to help out? Seems like we've got the basic build process done we just need a CM developer to spot the problems for us to work on fixing. With Rukins/jet2xx's builds and Giantpunes. Never give up, no matter how long it takes. That's my motto. :D

I'm keeping my eye open to see if I can grab one for about $25. And I'll send it to whoever get get cm7 or 9 up and going. Or if we are still donating $ for a phone, I'm cool with that too. :-)
 
Someone make a donation thread! Idk how or what to put on it. I use my phone for this so it's difficult to deal with stuff like that.

Or.........how about looking at CM9's that WORK. I visited CM's website and clicked on "devices". When you scroll down to the LG Optimus phones there are a number of them that already have CM9. Then I looked for a phone similar to the OE and found the Optimus Sol. It has the same GPU and a slightly different Snapdragon chip but overall not too different. Since Android is open source, there would be nothing wrong with downloading, tearing open and studying that zip file......right?? Seems like you would find a wealth of knowledge, tips, methods in there. If you look on XDA, there is a developer, andr00ib, that has a CM9 ROM for that phone that could also be downloaded and extracted to see what works.......right?? Just a little quarterbacking from the couch.......and my .02 worth!!! :smokingsomb:

I have the LG optimas S (Sprint) running 4.0.4 laying around in my house. Could trying transferring the ROM to the LG Elite for giggles. lol

He's not going to flash it as-is, that would be silly. In terms of CM and compatibility, I've heard it's the most similar to the Elite, so getting CM on the Elite using the CM for the S as a starting point, should be the easiest way to get CM onto the Elite. With modifications, of course. And realistically there's a chance of bricking your phone with anything you might do post-rooting. But then, there's Nandroid too.
 
The Optimus S is just the Sprint version of the OV. That's Froyo based. There are Gingerbread Optimus' that would be more similar.......like the one I mentioned earlier...the Sol.

The optimus s has official gingerbread, and the optimus s is NOTHING like the elite. Completely different CPU architecture. Porting wouldn't work.
 
Regardless of if we ever get an ics or jb based rom on this phone its still really nice after tweaking. I have JB on my old optimus one and it really isn't that big of a deal IMO. A lot of phones that have ics/jb unofficially have all kinds of major issues like half the normal battery life.
 
Its okay, there is a donation thread for a cell now. So the Sol is the closest to the elite? Might be worth looking into as well
