I know. My flashable LG mail includes Exchange as well. I was gonna use my old aroma, but put the bloat seperate instead for those that only need one or two apps so that they don't have to download a large package.

LoL, i haven't check the LG Mail or flashed yet , i was just assuming LG Exchange wasn't there :D ..... that was good choice i practically use almost everysingle one but 5 of them.
thank you for the Rom....

i know you said NO DIRTY Flash...but i was just wondering if just Wiping System,Cache and dalvik but leaving Data alone will not affect anything else?

It's a major revision so clean wipe is needed. If you dirty flash and have bugs, don't report back lol.
 
so full wipe, not just factory reset? I hate wiping system. That always makes my phone hang.

Just do the steps in the installation instructions. My installer wipes system, cache, and dalvik automatically. You only need to factory reset.

Flash it wipe everything but data:) so far so good...
Quick question :
Would make any different if i change this
Code: 
ro.build.description=g4stylusn_mpcs_us-user 5.1.1 LMY47V 152441547101b release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MetroPCS/g4stylusn_mpcs_us/g4stylusn:5.1.1/LMY47V/152441547101b:user/release-keys

For the tmobile ones same as others mpcs line in build.prop

Was having something weird at play store till change something to reflect i was on tmo.
 
incredibly happy with the original version and cant wait to get the updated version installed...just need to try and stop playing fallout long enough to do it lol

thank you so very much for your work on this phone :thumbsupdroid:


edit got it installed and its running wonderfully

Anybody else having trouble with the deodexed bloat app zips? I can't seem to get LG Update Center to install, I've flashed the zip about three times and no dice.

I had forgot that it needed to be paired with lg app manager also. Just download the new update center I uploaded a little while ago which has the lg app manager.

Change everything Metro related on the build.prop and been running quiet good for 12 hrs...
by the way i don't know why i was happy with me assuming CPU OC was available and i ended like this :(
other than that Rom is pretty snappier .

You can flash this on both Metro or T-mobile variants. Just follow the directions listed. Pay close attention to step #4.

If you coming from stock or any rom base on T-Mobile software you don't need to flash that file.
