CM 10.1 nightlies for E975

phoenix_rizzen · Apr 14, 2013

Huh. Just noticed the international version of the Optimus G is now officially supported by CM (via nightly builds):

get.cm/?device=e975

Does this mean we may be seeing the unofficial E971/E973 moving more toward the official side?

Edit: typos and grammar.

Sent through the magic of an LG Optimus G (E971) running RootBox 4.2.2.

Ive already tried the nigtly build, unlike the chad's version, official one doesnt work lol

To be honest it works, but screen showing nothing.

n7lbk · Apr 14, 2013

Is the CM team and chad working together? Or are these 2 completely different builds?

chad's version:

It's very stable and nearly completely full-featured apart from phone, notification LED and some modem issues. I'm running it as my daily driver.

As for what Tim is saying, I'm assuming he wants to say that the official version is less complete than chad's version...

Tim4 · Apr 14, 2013

I mean on the nightly one, all i can see is nothing but just black screen.

I just found that tread on Google because I was looking for a working CWM for the E975. Does anybody has experience with that CWM?

How's the battery life compared to stock rom?

deardailyvn · Apr 14, 2013

i do not flash this rom dated April 14 by TWRP, why that?

Folowing Ricardo's post on Google + announcing the official CM10.1 for E975, I said give it a try.
I had installed the ClockworkMod from the Play Store (the premium version), I flashed the CWM touch recovery for E975 (in app payment), booted in recovery and installed the official CM10.1 zip.
Rebooted and... bootloop!
The Cyanogenmod logo was spinning but it would not start.
So I got my first softbrick with E975.
I had to reflash the official kzd, reroot, unlock bootloader.
For now I will stay with the official 4.1.2 stock ROM.
I hope that CM10.1 will work with the TWRP and then I'll give it a try.

Just use FreeGee to unlock, reboot and flash. Works everytime

Sent from my LG-E975 w. CM10.1 using xda premium

Did you do a factory reset from recovery? This step is very important otherwise you end with a bootloop. So you just had to reboot in recovery and wipe data or do factory reset and reboot.

The ROM is working 100%. Fully working 13 megapixel camera and very smooth.

The easiest way is:

Use FreeGee from Play Store and free your device (void your warranty)
Download RomManger from Play store and flash CWM recovery. Not TWRP !!!
Put the ROM on your Internal storage Download here: http://get.cm/?device=e975
Put Gapps for jb 4.2.2 (20120301) on internal storage Download here: http://goo.im/gapps
Reboot to recovery (Keep Volume up while rebooting and press the Volume down rocker two times and press Power button)
Select option “install zip from sdcard”
Then select “choose zip from sdcard”
Flash CM10.1 rom.
Flash Gapps package.
Go back to main screen in recovery
Important step !!! - Select FACTORY RESET in Recovery and press Power button - !!!
Reboot into system

Enjoy CM 10.1 on your LG OG E975

there shouldn't be a reason why CM10.1 from Ricardo won't work with TWRP, u should flash it, and gapps then reboot ur phone, ofc clear cache, dalvik cache and that

I tried myself and it didn't work with TWRP. Wrong device id E975...
Best to read his Google+ Blog. So I found out myself.
After flashing CWM the ROM flashed fine. The ROM works fine. And I have 13 megapixel camera with focus.

Tim4 · Apr 17, 2013

Just delete the phone checking from update script

n7lbk · Apr 19, 2013

Are there any issues if you dirty flash from an unofficial 10.1 build to the official 10.1 nightly?

Tim4 · Apr 19, 2013

Yeah, it stucks at boot logo. For me at least.

H3IN3K3N · Apr 19, 2013

Never dirth flash from another rom.
Thats a NO GO

Sent from your moms bed!

Planet X · Apr 19, 2013

There is no reason for dirty flash anyway as you get all settings back from Google right after install? And if you make backups of your data omce in a while you loose nothing.

H3IN3K3N · Apr 19, 2013

You should know, that old settings can screw with a new flash aswell. Then you will need to clear the old data from some apps ( like youtube ).
Thats why a total clean flash without saved data ( from google ) is the best

Then its also easier for a dev to find the right bugs, if there are some
