Veteran Programmer Finally Gets Smartphone

[clonellw]

Hi Everyone!

I got an Optimus V after the charger port on my feature phone stopped working. After a couple of days, I was asking myself why I waited so long. I soon found that I could move only a very limited number of apps to my SD card and began experimenting with custom ROMs.

I really like the freedom of adding new functionality to my phone, but I have, up to this point, had no success getting an ICS or JB ROM to run on my OV without frequent reboots. Perhaps I should try older, more stable versions. I will post my issues in an appropriate forum. If I can find the time, I may even join the dev ranks and focus on producing stable foundation ROMs (daily-use functionality) upon which to build fun, non-essential features.

Hello and welcome aboard.

which roms have you tried thus far? You could try porting one yourself, i know a couple of optimus owners that would be pretty happy about that

I have tried the following ROMs

1. cm-9.1.0.VM670.BobZhome.09012012
2. cm-10.0.0-RC0.VM670.BobZhome.09152012
3. quattrimus-VM670-cm9-beta2
4. quattrimus-VM670-aokp-beta2
5. Godzilla Build 3-1 - 7_5_12

I have asked for suggested solutions in another thread.



If I can carve out a consistent chunk of time in my schedule, I will definitely begin working on a ROM. For now, I would like to figure out where I'm tripping up with ROMs that seem to be running without random reboots for everyone else.
