Ok, after the last tmo/samsung update bricked my vibrant i got my replacement left it stock and let it update. it worked fine. Question is, should I root, incase they send another update i cannot refuse and it bricks my phone again. It's just that the lag fix makes it twice as fast. But i don't like bricked phones.

s15274n said everything I had to say... the both times he posted.
It's easy once you read and understand. And i'm almost certain you could've fixed your last 'bricked' phone if you searched.
I searched. the first was a soft brick sticking at vibrant logo. I fixed it, but I didn't have a stock backup i flashed, it was a "stock rom" i found on here somewhere. But when it bricked the second time it wouldn't power up, no battery on screen when charging, nothing. But, I will give it a go this way and see what happens, I have 2 now, so eh. It's fun, but I am jsut getting into it. like I flashed it with one of the froyo roms, but the sound wouldn't work for nothing, i searched and no one else using that rom had that problem that i could find. So i know there was something i didn't do. I just wanna makesure i can get it back to stock if i need to.
don't forget to check if your phone is hardware locked.

Wish I had got bricked good. Got the replacement and its not hardware locked so flash away
Ok, so I did all that you mentioned seemed to work fine, but this fusion rom doesn't seem like much. now don't flame yet, i am just talkin. but it doesn't look like it changed much other than add launcher pro and as for lag. it's not as slow as stock but with ryans lag fix my quadrant score was 2550 and i'm getting 950 on this. although i have to say the gps snapped to lock. that was great.i really like the froyo rom i flashed before if i could have figured our how come my sound wasn't working and everyone else did not have that issue.

There are a few options available on TeamWhiskey website:
1. Fusion with stock kernel
2. Fusion with JAC kernel
3. Fusion with KK kernel
All of the above do not include any lagfixes, except a manual invocation via ADB for RyanZA's equivalent, a.k.a mount /data on a virtual EXT2 partition.
Optionally you can load Voodoo EXT4 based lagfix on non stock kernel options.
Another project is underway with TW own overclocked kernel and z4mod.
And as far as not much, compare the system resource utilization on stock Vibrant and on Vibrant with Fusion (with stock kernel option) - the guys over at TW have squeezed as much as possible out of TouchWiz to make the phone snappier, and as an added bonus they have removed most of the bloatware for you as well leaving the Media Hub for those who might wanna use it.
Hi,
Recently I got to conclusion it is time to change my defy to smth. faster. I thought to myself though that I will give it one last try by playing around with rom and settings. For a very long time I had stock froyo rom.
Last week I tried Cyanogen which constantly produced errors on my device so I ditched it not wanting to waste any more time (these were both Gingerbread and ICS versions). Then I tried newest MIUI. At first it looked OK, but when I installed a little bit of gear on it started to act a little bit sluggish. I see close to no difference in overall phone performance from my old Froyo.
So this is basically my last attempt to "save defy". I am looking for a FAST AND CLEAN rom. What I care about is performance. I really do not care about fancy switches, beatiful tollbars, tons of extra stuff that is built into the rom.
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Kordi

Are you sure? From what I see it isn't very "clean" rom. I don't say it is a bad thing, just that I look for something more... "spartan"...

what do u mean by clean rom?
The less embedded apps the better... i.e.: I really don't need MotoPhonePortal embeded in the ROM. Ideally it would have everything that is not essential removed.
I have installed CM7.2 or WhiteRabbit and I'm very happy with this rom. The only problem I find is some flash content. Pikachu 2.4.20 is another alternative. I like less, but this is personal.
Hi, I wrote above that I tried some instances of Cyanogen and it does not work on my device. Besides Cyanogen is not a "clean"rom.
white rabbit is perfect! give it a try to "save your defy"!

Any details why? I don't find pleasure in trying numerous ROMs and reinstalling everything in my phone 3 times during the week. I would like to know what to expect... especially that all Cyanogen ROMs I tried didn't work properly on my phone.
Hello Kordi666,
Maybe wanna try MS2Ginger from walter79.
It is Gingerbread Android Version with Moto Blur. I use it because I bought my phone because of MotoBLur and this Rom is very fast with this but I recommend to overlock to 1Ghz.
This is the most useful thing to get your Defy fast.
Best regards,
mpeg
The ROM I would recommend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
Its Android version 2.3.7
Its from Quarx and its fast, stable and give long battery up time. You can trust it 100%.
Please hit the Thanks button if this was useful.
Another option to consider would be the the deblurred GGL ROM, which seems fairly responsive and uncluttered and has good battery life and can be simplified further by freezing apps with TB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500286
I installed the Rom by aneeshcphilip - WIUI. The first one that was mentioned in the thread and so far I am very pleased. I did not have the opportunity to test the battery properly but so far it seems to work very well.
This time I revised all the software that I was used to installing and I resigned from many apps that I was used to coming to conclusion that I do not need them and I install them only due to my habits i.e. set vsel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397059
All default waste apps and bloats removed. Must try.

sorry if i answear you only now
i think it's perfect because it's really smooth, great performance, long battery life, nice ui and it has only really usefull apps.. till now it's the best rom i've tried!
maybe use also droidx to change your governor and you'll have a super defy!
EDIT:
i'm speaking about white rabbit!
Sh....t So I bricked my phone. Everything was fine after I installed WIUI until smth happened with one of my apps that I couldn't uninstall it even with Titanium Backup. So I wanted to do factory reset. After reset, the rom stopped seeing my SD card and I got constant error massage about faulty messaging process. I tried caouple of other roms and all the time the same error. One more factory reset under normal recovery and now my phone stops at Motorla sign.
Any help guys? This would be much appriciated.
Flash this Full SBF using RSD Lite and u will be back to Stock Froyo.
U can then again flash ur Fav ROM.
Hi all, first post and first dabbling into phone adventure : )
I recently ditched my iPhone for an N4. I bit the bullet yesterday & installed new ROM (p.a) and also Franco kernel.
Now the problem is that like a tool of a noon I didn't make a copy of my stock kernel : (
Can you please point me in the right direction to obtain one please.
Many thanks

the moment you flash a custom rom, you lose the stock kernel. every rom has its own kernel. if you dont like franco kernel, then just reflash your rom ti get the roms kernel back.

So what I actually need then is the kernel from paranoid android that I overwrote with Franko.
Oops, is this available on its own?
Ive found that since adding the franko, my benchmark scores have taken a huge dive. Mind you an turn turn does seem to throw up different results each time, is it a waste of time??
Cheers for your patience guys : )

just reflash the rom(dont wipe anything), itll replace the kernel. or pull the boot.img from the rom and flash it via fastboot. if you want better benchmarks/performance, i recommend trinity kernel
Cheers Simms.
I did try trinity but also found that to take a benchmark dive. Now this doesn't sound right yo me which is why I'm starting to distrust an tu tu.
Also my battery life now is showing an expected 7 hours 4 mins, so god knows what going back to trinity would do lol.
I can only presume that the 'fully charged battery usually lasts' is buggered up because I've been using it all day whereas when I'm at work it doesn't take such a hammering.

the problem can be the method that you use to benchmark. the right way would be to make the highest cpu speed and lowest cpu speed the same, so that the device doesnt decide itself what speed to use, so it doesnt scale during benchmarking. for example, i bench at 1782mhz high/1782mhz low. also, i like ondemand/deadline with trinity, i disable heat throttling(since a throttled cpu lowers cpu speed), also i like to enable all four cores to be on.

Hi again. Now this may seem like a daft question but as I said, I'm noob to this.
I have downloaded the stock kernel again & also have another ROM sitting in my download folder on phone. This is obviosly taking ip precious space. Can i mobe these files to my pc to store. If so how, & how do i then move them back to N4 when i want to change kernel??

Thanks Simms, downloaded & installed. I just don't like having sub 10gig on my phone. Got very used to iPhone with 32gig so less than 10 left feels kinda empty. Ideally I'd like to keep 2 ROMs (pa & rasbean, which I haven't used yet) & Franko & trinity, but doing this wont realy leave much dpace. Its a job getting my head round this non expandable low disk space business.
Hey, with all those out-dated guides I got a bit off track ;/
I've got motorolla defy red lense(in which i flashed mb526 cm10 a few months ago and it worked fine.. except phone goes blank when talking and nothing I do responds.. probably approxamity censor disfunctioning).. anyhow I tried flashing slimkat and it made my defy brick (phone stuck on M logo) , tried wiping cache and data through stock recovery no use, now I flashed following sbf DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
which ended up bricking my phone even harder D: (pushing the power button ends up showing bootloader and code corrupt battely low can't program message) [which probably means I flashed an irrelevant sbf with cg not compatible with my phone)
my bootloader is 9.10
oh and I have this nandroid backup back when I had stock rom (but can't recover it since I can't go on custom recovery)
any help would be appreciated!
in the meantime I charge the phone, I guess the idea is to flash the relevant sbf with relevant cg but how can I find one, and is the country of the sbf really matters?
thanks.
edit - apperantly the phone can't be charged I don't know.. it's connected to the computer/wall for quite a time and nothing changes. I don't wanna do the mcgyver method and lose my usb cable for it ;/
considering I flashed an incompatible sbf, and when connecting to computer it shows white led (when wall it won't show it will automatically open bootlader with the error.. (err A5,69,4E,00,f1), the white led ensures me the battery is loading? how can I see progress ;/
I have galaxy ace plus with a LI battery 2.7v (same as the defy) but it's bigger, should I try connecting it or it can ruin things up?
BEFORE flashing (not flushing ) your phone you MUST read carefully the reference which you surely will find in the Defy area. ALL your question was mentioned and solved here. You DIDN'T have a bricked phone and with patience you could fix it. Have a nice lecture!

You DON'T need a USB to USBmini cable. Is sufficient USB to USB cable (~1EURO) at which you cut a jack.

Did you overclock your phone before? Maybe your OC setting is now default. Im using [email protected] with slimkat 3.0 (dalvik) and it's very smooth and stable. Only don't remember my antutu score.

by overclock you mean just changing the frequency in settings? :x
maybe the rom I used (cyanogenmod) before came with default oc?
I think mine is now 1000mhz..

Yes, the frequency settings in Aero Control or recovery. You can try to set 1200mhz if your Antutu score is important, but you should get much more points on default settings than 4300. I've got 4740 on the clean SlimKat 2.6.
The default governor (interactive) is recommended and works fine for me.

I don't care that much about antutu it's just that it's slower than before.. and antutu is a way to show it.. i guess.
maybe the 4900 antutu was a good day for the defy anyhow I'm glad I could "revive" it and fix the annoying problem with approxamity censor that was on cyangonmod.
Thanks alot for your help
Hi guys,
So .. I hate lag, that's why I wanna do something about my LG Spirit, cos it lags annoyingly much. Here's what I got - Lollipop 5.0.1, software version V10h-EUR-XX, Build LRX21Y, Kernel 3.10.49
So I heard of this SetCPU app and wanna give it a try. But to give it a try I need the phone to be rooted. Tried many ways to root it but couldn't. So far so BAD! Then heard something about flashing a custom ROM to the phone. Do I have to have the phone rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to it? Or the other way around? Do I have to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root the device? And which custom ROM to go for for my Spirit?
Ultimately, I wanna get rid of this lag and to do that I'm giving these 2 things a try - (1) root the phone somehow and install SetCPU to overclock the CPU to make the darn thing run faster and (2) flash a custom ROM cos I heard custom ROM can run much faster and lighter than the stock OOTB OS.
One thing I already did was to install the latest Nova Launcher Prime. That alone has made the phone more responsive. With the stock HOME it seemed to work slower. Or is it just me?
Anyway, help me out by answering some of my uncertainties and pls do give me a tip on how to proceed.
Cheers!
Currently there are no custom roms for lg spirit on xda. You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that. My suggestion is to follow the guidelines in Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread. You can root the device via Kingroot, search for it on xda.
Thank you very much for the input! Muchly appreciated!
I don't wanna use this Chinese mysterious stuff ... kingroot. I'd rather root with something else.
Could I tell me if I need to be rooted in order to flash a custom ROM to my phone or is it the other way - having to have a custom ROM in order to be able to root it? Which way around is it?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'You cant overclock the kernel, because you would need an OC kernel for that.' What is an OC kernel? Are you saying that I cannot overclock my CPU because I need a custom ROM???
Any links to Tomo123's performance and battery enhancing thread?
You cannot root with anything else. There's no problem with it by the way so feel free to use it.
You have to root your phone first in order to install custom roms, but currently there are no custom roms for this device, nor unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (which is needed to install a custom rom).
An oc kernel is an OverClocked kernel which again we don't have yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...pu-tweaks-performance-battery-saving-t3217133
Here's the link ( you need root for this)
Thank you again. I just re-read your prev post and it now makes more sense to me. So apparently there's nothing in it for me to root, since we dont yet have and OverClocked kernel and any custom ROMs, meaning I can't squeeze out any benefit. Even if I managed to root the phone and installed SetCPU it won't help anything cos it won't let me overclock the CPU, due to the lack of an OC kernel as you said yourself.
So yeah ,.. thanks! Will give that link a look! Any idea when/how we'll ever get any custom ROMs and kernels for the LG spirit 2015? After all it's a cheap spin-off of the LG G4.
Is it just me or the Home Launcher also makes a difference? With the stock one things were kinda slow. With Nova Prime they seem kinda faster? Could it be or is it just me?
PS
I only wanted to root my phone so as to be able to overclock the CPU and make it run faster. I've read many reviews saying reasons why it is great to root your phone. However, since I can't overclock the CPU is there any other reason (in terms of making the phone faster and less laggy) why I would want to root it?
The home launcher does make a difference. The thread I shared with you contains a set of kernel settings which make the phone more responsive, have better multitasking, and conserve more battery. The developers at LG made weird settings to the kernel that's why we need to change them. But in order to do so, you need to root.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask you. Now I get the picture. I may have misunderstood you earlier, cos i though u said in order to overclock i need and overclock-able kernel, which does not exist. And it seems that at the thread you linked to the guys are doing exactly that - overclocking and tweaking settings to the cpu and kernel. I guess they're doing all that on the stock kernel and ROM. So the bottom line. is you don't necessarily need a custom ROM and kernel in order to tweak stuff in the SetCPU app such as the clockspeed of the CPU and other kernel settings.
I guess this is the KingRoot thread I should use to root my Spirit?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Well, in any event .. I gotta say a big thank you for even pointing me to that thread cos that was exactly what I was looking for. But pls shed some more light on my last post.

Ammm ... wait, what happened to the comments the other user made? They just got deleted or what? I cannot see them any more and I am logged in ... and I can see nilac's comments... so what gives?
I guess it would be nice, if possible, to move this whole thread to http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-spirit ... that's where I wanted to post the thread anyway, but just couldn't find it. But still, if anyone can tell me what on earth happened with the comments the other user made to my posts ... it would be nice. His username is thomekk91 and I pdf'ed the thread luckily so I still have his comments, but I see no reasons why they got removed? Anyone?

But still, if anyone can tell me what on earth happened with the comments the other user made to my posts ... it would be nice. His username is thomekk91 and I pdf'ed the thread luckily so I still have his comments, but I see no reasons why they got removed? Anyone?

trying to root now and so they have kingroot 4.6 now and it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...x-5-0-t3107461 that:
We have two versions, one is mobile version( app) for one-click root, another is desktop version for root some special device which can not be rooted by mobile one. Attention please that the desktop version may be flash third party Recovery into your device.
and then
KingRoot is an amazing tool for "lazy people" who just want to get root access but don't want to flash any third party Recovery into their lovely device.
So first they say one thing and then kinda something else. What is the risk/problem with flashing 3rd party Recovery into my phone? Why would I want/not want that? and lastly ... which method to use - mobile or desktop?
