Here we introduce you EternityProject’s CyanogenMod 10.1 custom rom for LG Optimus 4X. It contains various optimizations made at compilation time. Moreover, it isn’t being compiled with the default Android toolchain, but with a custom one that handles and optimizes the code better.

Steps to install CM10 custom rom on LG Optimus 4X HD P880:

1. Download and place the CM10-EPRJ and GApps packages on your internal memory
2. Reboot your phone into recovery
3. Make sure you have backup all data and files; Wipe cache and dalvik cache
4. Flash CM10.1-EPRJ, then flash GApps
5. Reboot
6. If you won’t see the CM bootscreen (stuck at LG bootscreen), wait 5 to 10 minutes, then reboot the phone (pulling the battery is okay)
7. Once finally booted to CM10.1-EPRJ, reboot the device again
8. You’re ready now. Enjoy!

Warning & Issue:

• DO NOT use the "Format Date" function in wipe menu, this will make a soft brick, if you did this by mistake, you can reboot into stock recovery and run the "wipe date/cache" function to solve the soft brick.
• This recovery only supported the "standard update.zip" packages, this means some update.zip package which used none standard( EG: some CWM backup style update.zip for LG Optimus 4X HD atm) won’t work on this recovery.
• For some reasons this recovery not support CWM backup package, only support TWRP backup package style(This is the TWRP issue). But, anyway, I’ll make a patch for this later to support CWM backup package.
