Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Feedom Kernel On VM Optimus F3

[hydroman202]

I know this kernel is supposed to be for other variants of this phone, but i tested it on this one and it works! What i did to make it work is a factory reset after installing it, and by that i mean holding volume up + power until it said something about factory resetting. I think this runs very well on games, but thats just an observation. i would also recommend lowering the frequency from 1.4 ghz to 1.2 ghz, for batteries sake.

Yeah, it runs good. I tried it a few months ago. Keep in mind that your aboot.img was changed to the metro pcs aboot.img. If you try to boot into recovery using the buttons during boot, you'll force a kernel panic and result in a factory reset. You'll need to boot into recovery by issuing a 'reboot recovery' command instead. You can find more information in the metro pcs sub-forum. To reset it back to ours, just re install the virgin mobile aboot.img.

I appreciate the response. Yeah i found out about the recovery thing a little to late. By the way do you or anybody else reading this know of any other roms that are fairly new, besides the kitkat?
