Transform Your LG Spectrum into a Galaxy Phone

Transform Your LG Spectrum into a Galaxy Phone


Seeing as the Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile Version, or Hercules, T989) and the LG Spectrum have the Same onboard chip, and the same exact Processor, I am making it an official project to port the Galaxy S2's latest 4.1.2 Rom to the LG Spectrum, bringing over the Galaxy S2 Motion Features such as the Direct Call, and some others. Working on the Project with me is John, an official owner of this phone, and co-pilot of www.techknowbase.com.
Both phones feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 Chipset along with a 1.5Ghz Dual Core Scorpion Processor, and they also start on Android 2.3 Gingerbread of some sort. The only difference in the devices are the LG Spectrum's Pixel density is higher than that of the Galaxy S2, which is why I changed the resolution in the buildprop to match every other Spectrum Rom's resolution. This way everyone wins, You can still change it on your own if you feel the need to.

All in all I think the end of this project will result in a very good manner, everyone will win, and it'll be very fun making.

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along.  Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.

What is Android?

What is Android? Android is a Free Open Source Operating system, mostly seen on mobile devices these days such as smart phones, tablets, and is the base Operating system behind the Kindle fire, & Nook Color. It is safe to say Android is built upon Linux. When you hear of "Linux" you think of Ubuntu immediately if you're a novice, or "noob" with the Linux operating system. Well though Ubuntu is built upon Linux, and is commonly used on any machine using it, but it isn't what linux is. Linux is basically a terminal/operating system like you would say DOS is. Linux is basically a Unix clone, which is what Mac OS X is built upon. Linux is free, and if you ever payed for it, demand a refund, but don't get yourself in danger over it! (lol) So from this, we know Linux is just basically the background software, which runs all the commands it needs to, to give you a functioning GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easier ways to use ...

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy
