Root Unofficial CM7 port, inquire within.

I've got a mostly functional CM7 port for the Optimus S and V, and would like to get it working with the C, M, U, and maybe Vortex. I'm looking for the following:

- An unrooted Optimus M (blocked or otherwise not activated is fine as long as it's not stolen and the phone itself works)
- Someone willing to build, distribute, more extensively test, and probably support this monstrosity.

To build, start here:

Did you give up on this ...?
 
Thank you too Joneidy and Reppard and everyone else that has contributed on making our phones more efficient and productive. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

I just had to repo sync and change the mms_config. Then I start to build and after I flashed all the sensors and keyboard problems were solve.

I have been using for like a week and its very stable. I haven't had any problems at all. Lol

Will you let me test run it?
 
Where is joneidy with the compiled rom? This was almost working. We can't let it die.

When I get some time I'm gonna throw nix on this old p4 box i have laying around as I can't afford to reconfigure hard drives in my main pc. I don't know a whole bunch about android, but I can compile in linux and I think there is enough info between here and the easy cm7 compile thread on xda for me to figure it out.

Question, when you say p4 box, are you talking about a Power4 as in IBM server?

I`m not hiding or anything and yes this is almost working to a 100%. The thing is that I haven`t had any time to work on it. And I think it will take a while for me to upload the rom, as of right now I don`t have any internet connection just my phone internet. If you guys really want to test what I did; I can begin the upload now and then post the link. If anyone is interested just reply here. LOL

Nope, I was actually thinking about using an old pentium 4 that's sitting around from upgrading the kids pc, but your post reminded me I have this giant dual xeon dell workstation hidden in the corner that I don't use. Totally forgot I had that thing, LOL. It's got a crap agp video card in it and runs rambus ram, I think that's why I forgot about it, heh. Bet it has linux already installed... :cool:

I want to test the rom but I don't want to make you upload it on metro 1x speed, lol. I'm still going to continue my journey learning how to compile an android rom myself either way, if you have any tips....

Mmmm well the only thing that its not working are the MMS. Also the screen timeout issue is not corrected to a 100% but it`s better than the other CM7.
I think it`s just a setting in the build.prop. I will try that and see it if fixes it.

PS I forgot to mention that Bluetooth connects but no audio comes up, it will take more time to fix, but it can be done.

Well basically all you need is Linux. LOL

I will recommend to follow this guide up to the point where you are required to paste this into terminal
Code: 
 repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

Replace the above code with this
Code: 
repo init -u git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git -b gingerbread

Then paste this final code into terminal
Code: 
repo sync -j16

Up to this point you will have all the files needed to build the rom. Now just paste this command into terminal
Code: 
. build/envsetup.sh
that will setup the phone model

Then paste this other command into terminal
Code: 
lunch
and the select the Optimus M model that is MS690.

Now the final command is
Code: 
make -j2 bacon
Replace the number two with the number of cores your Cpu has. Ex: if you have a quad core Cpu you will replace the 2 with a 4.

If everything goes well, you will ended up with a .zip file and a md5 checksum.

If you get any problems while compiling post them here or pm them to me and I will help you.

That's funny, I had completely forgotten about Pentium calling their CPU's p1, p2 etc. :D In my line of work at IBM, I work on a series of servers called "Power" RISC based processors (going back to the Motorola PowerPC chips). We are currently up to Power7.
 
Joneidy did you ever get a bluetooth headset to figure out if you could get bluetooth working 100%?

If you have not I have an old extra one I could drop in the mail, dont have a charger but its conveniently a micro usb same as the phone.

Yes i did get one. Anyway thanks for the offer. I know that It has something to do with the bluetooth libs. I just need a little time to try and fix it.
 
Thanks for the tips joneidy. I'm updating the linux box right now, when it's done I will try to compile. If I get something working I will post it to google docs...
