I also found this link for downloading stock roms (kdz) for ANY lg-phone

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=123456789012345

Just replace the last 15 digits in the link (12345...) with your own imei number and you will get a xml-page in wich you can find a direct link to the kdz file for your specific device :-)

Found it on http://www.lg-phones.org/

That's been there for a while. I've added it a while back. No need. Thanks for that though.

Sorry to interrupt but is there an actual working simplicity somewhere or did it not ever get to that point? I'd love to use it or one with the same features sometimes (the real lg split window mainly) which on my G4 in stuck with the stock few Apps in split until I get a way to root... The xposed window mods just aren't the same ...damn it man only one lil line in build prop to enable any app on my G4 but outta reach atm [emoji35] [emoji36]

I think to get Simplicity up and running you need to be in PhilZ/CWM an in 10b (not 10c).

Yea I haven't been on stock in a long time and I can't even find my stock rom . I have no clue if it was B or C and I'm using twrp sooo guess that's a no go huh.. Wish I had computer access , hell I got a brand new G pad 10.1 hung in a boot loop that's been in my dresser drawer for months ...might be a good idea to invest in a PC one day lol

hey, even local librarys allow you to plug in a USB to their computers if you tell them what you're doing and you won't mess up or try to upload a virus. atleast my Las Vegas librarys do if I tell them it's urgent.

You can also save up a simple $100 and buy a decent laptop off ebay.

I've thought about that and the only slight problem is I live out in the country so don't go to town often ..now the big problem is I have never once plugged an android in a pc , have no clue how to use the right stuff on the PC (ADB Right lol) sad I know but I never needed to..wish I could find someone here to walk me through my first trials , but this is southeast Georgia and fellow nerds are so rare ...I'll get it going on eventually hell I never thought id be flashing ROMs and understanding it all so fast , a day or two I found the groove and its second nature now so I'll no doubt be able to learn it fast considering I'm also a sound engineer also ..just that first step

OK to get simplicity to work on 10c without a PC, you need to do a bit of work.
Go into the simplicity zip, open the meta-inf folder, to in com/Google/Android/.. You're looking for your updater-script.
Now you'll see these lines,

getprop("ro.product.device") == "w5" || abort("This ROM is for the \"MPCS LG Optimus L70\"; This is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.lge.swversion") == "MS32310b" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.version.incremental") == "MS32310b.1396838774")

What all this means is you have to edit your build.prop to get simplicity to flash on your phone.
You do have to be on a stock rom first. There's a flashable stock v10c rom. It's a lot of work without a PC but it is possible.

Oh wow that's interesting.. Hmm well I'm sure I'll end up trying it or it will bug me until I do lol I'm so new to more advanced root that anything will have a learning experience just about.. Like how I learned not to tweak anything while rooted without a custom recovery, that brand damn new LG gpad 10.1 has been in my drawer for months now.. I tried to use a friends PC tonight but I have to learn how to install and use adb and LG flashtool and find stock firmware... It's gonna take more time than I had I realized... I still don't get how such a simple thing like turning off an entropy engine that I have used alot before and rebooting can wipe the whole damn os and stick in a fastbootloop... Awkward.. This lil l70 is a tough lil beast though and very impressive for a 5 dollar phone [emoji6]

That's really cool of you and I truly appreciate it. I knew Android os very well up to a month ago, but not past a very simple root cuz I didn't need to or have a PC. But I bought my 5$ l70 and, well it has begun, too late I'm hooked [emoji23] anyway I will be able to access one soon and I'll take any help I can get be it messages, on the phone, smoke signals, whatever.. Haven't used the pm on here yet but I'll figure it out and msg you (hopefully) thanks, a heavy metal drummer turning into an Android nerd is probably a lil tricky and not so common but I'm getting there
 
Hay I have a issue well not me my friend I've played around with a few devices adding custom ROMs and what not but with my friends l70 (he bought it with 10c already on it ) every time we add a custom ROM to it the data works for a wail and then stops he keeps saying he didn't do anything to it I believe it after 3 different ROMs all doing the same thing but stock works fine I don't know if its the ROMs the phone or what oh and I may have non stock screen on my l70 but his feels different weight and thickness wise there both ms323 from metro PCs Anyone have any clues or fixes for this is I could at least have a clue I could possibly figure it out but I can't even think of what's causing it
