Hi all!
Polish community (lgswift.pl and android.com.pl) started an action on official CyanogenMod forums about adding GT540 to supported devices list.
There is maaaany Swift/Optimus users all around the world so if we will speak together as one maybe we will get what we want and deserve
I hope you would help by posting in: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7108-lg-optimus-gt540/
Sorry for bypassing links but its not spam and moderation of n00bs will be better
If its wrong place for this topic please move it ^^
Sorry for my bad english
I'll try to spread this into the bulgarian forums !
People
we have to fight for themselves. The more people the better it is typed. Team CyanogenMod may finally be interested in our phone. You can also do petitioners in this case. Who is behind this let him write here.
I'm sorry I write with translator.
pass this link around and when we have enough signed up ill email CM devs to see what they say

CM Team got interested in supporting our device but... there is another case T.T
We need project maintainer and the source code must be published.
Unfortunately Mur4ik refused when he was asked to become the maintainer.
Oh. I'm not ready atm to be a maintainers for our device and regularly support for new CM changes.
Maybe in future.

Here is his explanation, but I think he will be a right person in right place
Another user from lgswift.pl has sended request to Joestone (We will see what he think about it soon, I hope), but he has his own project...
The other ideas was to ask Ankuch or Quarx, but they have different devices now so I dont think they will be interested (but who knows).
There was also the idea to ask arekl1988 who created v20a_openpl_fastboot.kdz rom.
Anyway without Mur4ik's source codes the support won't be possible so he is our only hope
Yep arek created fastboot rom, and ported Amon Ra recovery... but he haven't got time and knowledge
Quarx don't have diffrent device but he gt540 is broken... he collect money for new swift
Sorry for my english

I've been following that thread and was inspired to install ubuntu so I could join in the fun. This in turn lead me to updating my BIOS, & modifying my power supply to allow a second hdd. Now, I'm stuck at properly installing GNU make haha.
Thanks for the contribution Lithid. One request unrelated to CMC, could you post the tools necessary in ubuntu to compile an HTC kernel? EVO's got an OTA update to 4.67.651 Android 2.3.5 this included a new kernel and I'd like to play with modding it. I am aware this is above my pay grade so to speak, but enjoy the challenge of learning something new.
Once again thanks Lithid.

The thread has a list of needed tools, those will do. Also, remember it takes a while for HTC to release kernel source.

Ummm read the guide in the link lithid posted
We are legion, for we are many.
Yeah I did dumbass but I know nothing of the programs needed nor do I have a computer to even run them on. So ill ask again. Has anyone been able to compile CM7?
Well dumbass then you can't compile the nightlies you need a computer to do it ffs if you don't know how to do something learn if you don't have the tools then you can't learn this thread was for people to compile the nightlies for themselves alot of ppl have gotten it to work if you read the thread you'd know that, your question really makes no sense since you don't have the tools to compile are you asking someone to do it for you, being vague in your question then calling ppl dumbass and having a smartass response isn't going to get you a handout. I can compile from source, but with your response I'd tell u to shove it before I compiled anything for you
We are legion, for we are many.
This thread is being created to explain, in short, a few common phone 'terms.' Now although there are many threads explaining the same thing they are 'thicker' and written differently. A different guide will help a different person. I think it is valid that there is more than one explanation of the same thing. If you have ANY suggestions, please leave them in post form below. I have explained this relative to the Xperia x8 and this is why it is in our territory.
Remember that this is a MINI guide. So not every term in the android language will be explained. For a more complicated guide see HERE or on the everything x8 w8 thread here. Both guides are different.
Anyway Here is a mini guide about phone terms:
A ROM stands for Read Only Memory, ususally on this site referring to the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored. It's like an operating system. (OS) When people say they're flashing a new ROM, it usually means they are installing a new 'operating system'. A custom rom may have new features different to the STOCK rom.
The term Stock usually means the version of something installed by the manufacturer. Or in other words, the stuff already on that thing.
An .APK is a Package on Android. Usually you will meet these when installing apps on your phone. This is, simply put, just a file extension, like .exe on windows.
Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).
A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.
Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.
Unlocking your BootLoader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(make it useless like a brick) This is why I did not do it until a few weeks ago - because I was scared. If you do however find yourself bricked, look to my guide no further than HERE.
You flash kernels with Flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked BootLoader to do this.
If I was to recommend a rom, I would say MiniCyanogenmod (CM for short). The developer, nAa, focuses on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version. Check out my review on the stable ever wonderful MiniCM9 HERE.
Links to Flashtool, ROMS and other things mentioned will be in my other guides hyperlinked in the article.
Please be generous with the 'Thanks' if you appreciate my effort.
Special Thanks to I Am Nice for his consistent helpful feedback
You should better explain what kernel is. Like conection between hardware and ROM

Pls don't disrespect chris. I can tell you he knows what he's saying (he didn't get to become RT for nothing).
I admire your efforts, but please add more definitions. For example: you didn't really explain what "bootloader" means. And like chris has said, it's already explained (in morr detail) in another thread. Hopefully you'll add more jargons in the near future. Good job though. :beer:
Edit: you may want to report those users thay are stalking you.

Thankyou. After reading this again. I see that I have crossed the line on that one. Apologies to Chris and thanks to you. :fingers-crossed: I was quite tired and wasn't really paying attention. But I have typed that same line so many times that those keys on my 'board are worn out. Just a bit angry. But sorry again. No disrespect was intended.

I blog at the website 'The AppJuice' (link: theappjuice.com).
I am looking for developers who wants us to review their custom built ROMS. If we loved your ROM and our users like it, we will also interview the developers and post it on our website.
We also want to write very clean tutorials for dummies to flash custom Roms on their mobiles.
If any of you in interested in review or want us to write detailed tutorial of their ROMS please feel free to email at theappjuice[at]gmail.com

good idea keep it alive
does anyone here know any big Chinese forums for android devlopment. The goal is to track down the developer of chinese CWM
and ask him for help on device tree. The only hurdle in path for custom kernel is dt.img it seems and/or display drivers. so we need help from the guy who devloped chinese CWM.

i too tried on http://bbs.cnmo.com/ but there is some gold system on chinese websites that doesnt allow pm
and and it seems none sees public msg. still i'll keep trying
what bugs me is Vroot watermark behind chinese CWM. if it is developed by some company chances of getting sources are slim.

Maybe that's all not required! I just contacted the pr of Gionee and he replied with a far better attitude than I had expected! He was more that willing to help. He said he will talk to the China team and get back to me. Well, considering the little email exchange that we had, I am pretty sure we have good stuff coming..
Also, try and contact this guy.

Anyways are You in contact With Piyush From Gionee. HE seems a grt Guy hope he bring grt news....
So the last thread was killed b/c it "served no purpose". I guess motivating you guys to build something " serves no purpose". So who's gonna stop being lazy and build it? You guys got twrp, that guy can build ofox too. Its not that hard. Just swapping out twrp sources for ofox sources.
Yes sure if its just that easy try yourself
just swap the source
I get why you want that recovery.
Its a good idea to get the ones that wants that so developers could see. But saying easy to something that you don't understand isn't right.

Oh yea cause being aggressive calling ppl lazy will motivate people.
1 - Make a port is HARD and few actually know how to do it.
2 - Who can already IS working on it, if it's not ready it's cause it's not easy.
3 - You can't persuade people to donate a device or even money as only us know our self and our own budget at home.
4 - If you are that unhappy, don't rely on other's, google and try to learn your self, if you make it you don't even need to share if you hate ppl for not help the cause.
5 - If a moderator closed your thread it clearly violate EULA of XDA so re post is isn't a good idea.
I my self tried to port the Raphael OrangeFox, but wasn't successful. It's hard and beyond my current knowledge (even though i'm studying to be able to port some day). Also the dev is kind of a jerk on the Telegram group so i don't want to donate for that reason.
AND last but not least, there IS a orange fox recovery on testing.. search for
OrangeFox-R10.0_9-Testing-davinci.zip
