Root First custom ROM ever for the C800

I've managed to successfully compile AOSP for the C800. It hasn't been tested. It may or may not work, and could brick the phone. We need someone to test this rom (that isn't worried about these things) to see if it works. Remember, you install this at your own risk, and all personal data gets wiped from the phone.

You can download the .img files from here: Download aospc800.zip @ UppIT

To install:

1. Make sure the C800 is on and connected to the computer with ADB.

2. Run the following command to put the phone in fastboot mode:
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader
3. Find the location of your system.img, and fill it in here:
Code: 
fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img
4. Hopefully this is all you need to flash. If not, there are more .img provided.

Also, I didn't compile the kernel. Do we have a copy of it?
 
Update: We can't access the bootloader. I've compiled a recovery, and I'm currently making a backup of the system partition. I will then load this rom, test, and post instructions.

This is not a flashable zip. It can only be flashed with fastboot.

I made a flashable zip, I don't get a successful boot from it. I haven't compiled a kernel yet.

Here ya go. Download generic_unsigned_070612_031253.zip from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

Unfortunately, I am not sure that is the right file, if you get an error 7 it isn't, or even still it might not have the right script to flash the phone. I've made so many zips in the past couple of days.

Anyways, this has the right stuff in it for someone to fix and post a working one, perhaps.
 
Any news on your rom? Do u got an phone.apk that uses the aosp call unlock screen? I would love to find that.

i already got the aosp lock screen unlocked and working on my phone. just when i get an call phone still uses the lg lock screen. i tryed to delete the .pngs for the lg lock screen from phone.apk to see what would happen, lol it made the program crash every time during call so i had to give up because i know little about .xml files which is what i think is controlling the lock screen
 
the recovery.img file flashed fine with no errors from fastboot. but phone wont boot. oh well i already have a new one anyway
