How do I use it?
1. First make sure you do a nandroid backup.

Do you provide source code?
Yes. You can check requisite0's GitHub here: https://github.com/requisite0
This is not my work, this was done by requisite0 at androidforums. I am just informing those with the Samsung Admire. Here is the original thread: http://androidforums.com/admire-all-things-root/587358-rom-cwm-kernel-cm7-2-rc1-requisite0-beta2.html

Now we just need someone to pick this rom up and complete it.For Cm7 beta2 it works well.Just a few bugs to work out.
Req did a great job with it so far.Anyone up for finishing it?

Check this forum: http://androidforums.com/admire-all-things-root/
Over at Android Forums there is support for our phone, we have devs like Boraichee, RetroDelete working on getting bugs fixed in CM7. requisite0 is banned which means if there is an update to his CM7.2 ROM/Kernel he won't be able to post it. But I noticed that your probably already know that since you are also at Android Forums.

how the hell do we do any thing if people keep uploading to mediafire!? that website is dead, its not a good website anymore.

Still waiting for the release version of cm7 Hope Req0 gets it done soon.
And thanks to Pg and others for all their work in this project.

[Q] LG L7 (LG-P705g) restart loop

Okay, this is my first post so I'll try to give as much info as I can about the issue and how I got to this point.
In the past I've installed custom ROMs, But I am having a LOT of problems with this L7. As of right now, it will turn on for about 30 seconds to 3 minutes and restarts. I was trying to install a custom ROM on (CM 10). So, I came one here looking for info on it. found out that the main L7 people use here is the P700 and there isn't much on the P705g.
First I rooted using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906133
Then I downloaded ROM Manager from the play store and got it to install CWM. It wouldn't load up for me at all, and it would just constantly flash the back and menu touch lights when holding vol down and power. At this point I downloaded CM10 for this phone (from what I understand the P700 is basically the same as mine) but I couldn't get CWM to flash up. Found out about the bootloader being locked..
followed this to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38231332&postcount=2230
Before I go on, yes, I did hook it up to the computer using debugging mode and installed the drivers. However I cannot get the V10K firmware that everyone seems to like for KDZ (and truthfully I don't fully understand it), my version is V10E
So I used to reboot2recovery.bat in the 2nd link like it said. Excellent! CWM came up! Wouldn't install CM10, said it was "Bad". So I reset it and restarted the phone, and now it wont stay on.
Looked around one last time before posting, and I found this link that had a download for V10K, but I need my phone to stay on to do this! ahaha
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26341025&postcount=1
Anyone got any ideas? thanks! sorry for the length, I just wanted to cover the bases.
EDIT: Self resolved. The phone is stable once again after I installed V10K Following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31828740&postcount=1191
hopefully this helps anyone else with this issue if they come across it. Now, to try to get CM10 on it.
EDIT 2: CM10 installed. Buggy, but that's what you get with an unstable version works great otherwise! Noticed when I downgraded to V10K my phones model changed from lg-p705g to lg-p700 as well, which made the whole thing much easier! Picture came out red like this because the screenshot app doesn't like the phone or something. Thank you to everyone who made this possible through your tutorials

[Q] No Multi-Window Feature in OMNI ROM?

Hi everyone! I hope I have came to the right place. I recently rooted my Galaxy Note 2 on AT&T that was running 4.3. Had some issues mainly because I forgot to also flash Gapps to my phone. Anyway, before I flashed OMNI ROM to my phone, I was wiping data like I saw you were supposed to do when I wiped the Android OS... I know what you are thinking, n00b. Honestly, I have wanted to root my phone for a while but it seemed complicated. So anyway, it said I had no OS installed. So naturally, I freaked out. Then I thought, woah! I can just flash OMNI ROM now so I can still have a phone! Which I did and Gapps and my phone is working awesome now. Just like Android 4.4.2. However, the only feature missing is the Multi-Window Feature. Is this because I erased the OS before I flash OMNI ROM? I tried downloading multi window support from the Play Sore however it just said that I don't have a file installed or my device isn't supported. Which I know it is because I used to use Multi-Window like it was my job. Any help would be awesome everyone. Thanks and have a wonderful day! (Sorry for the long post)

Try to find an unofficial build for your device that has it. I maintain builds for the HTC One and Samsung Nexus 10 (m7att and manta, respectively) that include it. It's not in unofficial builds yet due to issues/coding in it, but it's decently stable if you can find an unofficial build in your device forum.

I downloaded one that was official and unofficial. Both said they had Multi-Window Support. Do you think I should unroot and go back to Stock ROM and try to re-root but this time not erasing the entire Android OS?

Not at all. The official ones do not have it. If the unofficial one you're trying doesn't have it, but is listed, then ask the person who compiled it.

If the unofficial version has multiwindow but you can't turn it on, then maybe you don't know how to? It's not the same as Crapsungs implementation.
1. Open any apps
2. hold down the home button to get to the recent apps
3. Touch and hold on an application
4. Select add to split view

Thanks everyone for your replies! I saw that Add Split View option before but I didn't know if I was supposed to be able to hold the back button to open up the Multi-Window Sidebar.

Hello guys,
I just got my MX4 today, of course rooted it, and I can't find a custom recovery for this device.
Do you guys managed to install a custom recovery yet, or do some flashing?
Thanks in advance!

It is a recovery emulator. It simply translates Edify into Bash script.
Is the same as if you execute a script in a terminal emulator

Thank you Psycmos,
I'm kind of dissapointed of the low activity here on XDA about the MX4 considerind it's a really great device, very well balanced (coming from an HTC M9)
Anyway, here is what I managed so far, working perfectly:
1. Nova launcher
2. Xposed, with:
- Amplify
- App Settings (mostly for immersive mode)
- Battery Stats Plus
- Enable Battery Stats
- Flyme tools, of course
- Greenify
- Immerse Me (disabled in xposed because also hides the statusbar in homescreen)
- Lucky Patcher
- Smooth System Progress
3) Super User (chainfire)
To do list:
1) gain acces to system files via File Manager
2) Most important ! : somehow get the Xperia Z(1,2,3) video recording stabilizer, it's great!

In my case I am doing some mods, this is the latest: MoreFlymeNotifications, each notification with his icon!! Not grouped in the same icon.

Can't flash (apparently) any ROM

I've been on the unofficial LOS build for the A2017G from the 3rd of february ever since it got release since i never bothered to flash a newer build. Now I wanted to try out Resurrection remix or the newer LOS builds, but everytime I flash them in TWRP, with or without Gapps, I just get a black screen after the bootloader and then my screen turns off. I can load my nandroid and then everything works fine again.
Any chance someone here might know what to do? Screenshot of my about page is below, if any further info is needed, just ask.

My TWRP is 3.1.0.0 - which should be a recent enough version, AFAIK

You need to flash the new universal bootstack from Unjustifieds linageos thread.

Ive tried that as well - before and after flashing the actual ROM/Gapps. Or is there a new version of the bootstack I missed? I used the same file as I did when flashing the unofficial LOS build, "A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip".
I'll try again though - I took a look at the files and there is one for the G model and one with an X - which should I use?

A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip & A2017G_N_Modem.zip

The "X" would mean for every model (A2017, A2017U or A2017G).
You previous zip file A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip is old.
I think you should follow the first step in LineageOS thread:
1. Install the Universal bootloader and your model specific modem.Failure to do so will not allow flashing the ROM!
Universal bootloader = A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip
Modem package = A2017G_N_Modem.zip
By the way you can also upgrade to latest TWRP 3.1.1-0:
