Helping My Mom with her LG L7 - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, so I noticed my moms phone after 2 years got really laggy and I didn't like it, I'm experienced with rooting and flashing but its better to ask help from you guys.
First of all her phone is a LG Optimus L7 (Not II)
The baseband is 10e, I read that JB is 20e(?)
Heres a summary of what I need to do:
-Flash JB (20e?)(Can you provide a link?
-Root
-Flash a Custom ROM
About the Custom ROM, if you guys could provide your own opinion, for daily use only, and if possible, the latest OS, Kitkat.
Many thanks guys. )

For kitkat:
I'm using carbon rom, but also recommend cm11 from @cr3pt it's really stable for daily use.
Just read the last 3 pages in users comments die feedback.

My recommendation, don't use latest Android, yet. Because stability problem and speed problem, too
Use something stabler, like CM10 (Jellybean). So, you don't have to upgrade to v20 to flash it.

Yup your right, but he's asking for kk.
If you want to stick with cm10, flash slimbean with phenom kernel.
This is really good.

Paranoid uses CM9 kernel, therefore it is safe.
Couldn't agree more

Looks like Paranoid is CM9 based so nearly no bricking risk there
Kingdriod is based on an official Kernel, so big risk of bricking .
I could be quite wrong here though.. do your own research.

Paranoid is totally safe and the best thing I ever did to my Note. It is CM9 based.
Try it out, you will never go back!

Reading the first few post in the paranoidandroid thread...
The install looks very intimidating for new flashers.
And to complicate things, there is a list of prerequisites and DONT'S. IF.......
So Im freaked out by it all, but do want to install it..
My experience so far is to.. D/L the German XXLPY and install via PC Odin.
Then root, then Speedmod Kernel..
NOW.. the PA ICS hybrid instructions warns against flashing with ICS already installed with certain kernels.....
I got lost and confused...
{Q} Can I just flash PA ICS Hybrid over what I have got already??
or {Q} do I have to go back to GB and a GB kernel first??
thanks for helping out a new flasher.
And dont forget to lecture me to read..read..read.. research....
I know that & but I will need reminders (without links as wel)l...
thanks again,,,

Kingdroid it's pretty bad, it has very very dirty stuff and useless tweaks, its buggy and drive you crazy after 1 day of use.
The idea of that rom is good but "more" not means better so that guys need to do a clean rom instead a rom full of useless crap.

It's not confusing as long as you get the concept right. Just remember one thing.
All stock Samsung ROM are dangerous and you do not want to flash anything over them.
All AOSP ROM are safe and you can flash over them.
So what happens if you are on Samsung official like LPx, LBx, etc ? First, flash a gingerbread ROM with no wipe and then proceed with the usual flash procedure. This applies for ANY ROM that you wanted to flash not only Paranoid ROM.

Best rom for nexus s?

Hi all, there are many roms un development section but i m confused which one to flash...can someone help me? Which one is the fast smooth JB rom? And with which kernal?? Currently using PA2.54 very slow...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
There is dozens of this exact thread in the Nexus S forums. A few active and talking right now in this very sub forum. Its all a matter of personal opinion. Do some searches, read some reviews, flash and try and base your decision by your use cause no one uses their phone the same way with the same signals.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app
You seem new to roms, its probably best for you to start out with this combination:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 Nightlies
Kernel: Default CM10 kernel
or
ROM: Rasbeanjelly
Kernel: Trinity kernel
Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry
Kernels: Marmite, Matrix, Trinity, Air
You can find all of them here.

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.
Here's the link to stock, rooted, deodexed 4.1.2 rom: http://d-h.st/t7o
_thalamus 4.1.2 kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlc10xyx1...3.0.31-666_rel-9-g76bb0a5-20121016-213036.zip

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.
Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.
Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

does performance of gaming depends on Kernel? my Nexus S's touch stop responding while playing Modern Combat 3 and NFS Most wanted... what will the problem?

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

Hi, I just rooted my Nexus S (Mobilicity) the first time and I have some question here:
1. Should I just install this CM10 nightly cm-10-20121115-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip (seems to be the latest) ?
2. I found gapps 4.2 here ]highonandroid.com/android-apps/googleapps-4-2-for-android-jelly-bean-roms-gapps/, Can I use this for CM10?
3. Do I need to flash radio for CM10?

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:
ROM: CodenameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth

[Q] Please help my confusion

I would like to install the best custom rom possible (i know everyone has there prefs) But im really confused on installing the custom roms.
1 what do i use to install the rom (already rooted original FW) i see alot of dif ways and i just want the simple method with less risk or a brick
2 What is the best rom for stability
I have gone through loads of post but the more i read the more confused im getting as to what to use ect
Please Help Me Guys/Girls
1. Learn how to use adb and fastboot commands
2. Install a custom recovery (I like TWRP but CWM works also)
3. Flash the ROM of your choice.
As for a ROM recommendation, I really like Paranoid Android but you can't go wrong with any of the Roms available here. We have some great devs that put a lot of effort into creating something that is awesome. :thumbup:

[Q] which ROM ?

Hi, someone smarter in this area could tell which ROM is the best of the currently available (stock, cm10, aokp etc)
Great you haven't even mentioned the device for which you are asking the suggestion for nonetheless assuming it is an L7 my vote goes to cm10

Ups, my bad, yeah it's L7
CM 10 i think is the best for you
What about an L3?
Which from would u recommend as the best?
I'm currently on jelly cast v2 n it's pretty gd so far...
Tried touchwiz 2.0 but ain't as gd as jellycast
For l3 jelly cast 5.0 is the best in my opinion I tryed lost but none of them were good as that.

After testing every Custom rom till now i would surely choose cm10..
Stock roms for ours Lg Series are definitely a waste of time..I was using V20D with dozens of mods+seeder+V6 supercharger but performance is still really poor.
Cm10.1 and 10.2 are in a early stage and i wouldnt recommend them for a daily use.
Battery stats are slightly better on v20d

You could try cloudyg3.1 with latest dorimanx kernel. Works fine for me else you could always try an stock debloated rom with dorimanx.

No problem well I as an old nexus user was also always very excited for a new OS update because the changes are just massive which not all users notice under the hood and that's why I am always excited for that. The thing is that every new piece of software comes with it own bugs. Never in my entire life I have seen software without any bugs. But that's life.
i'm on a vs980 and I agree cloudy 2.2 is fabulous. Recently I started using cloudy 3.1 and (atleast on my device) its been equally as stable/fast and battery friendly. I like the g4 dial app, but aside from that i could just as easily stick with cloudy 2.2.
