                          i had this phone for about 3 months ... i mostly used it for gaming but it worked awful ... can't play any new games like Temple Run 2 or Subway Surfers without lag ... i do not reccomend it for gaming . Mostly usable for music / calls / internet .

                                Ive used this ph 24 mth now..and will upgrade to another android touchscreen ph later this mth. Mine is on a redbull contract with RBM software inside. OK! for first 12 mths it worked perfectly. then suddenly it began with problems ..wouldnt connect, became slow, when typing in whattsap the curser just goes anywhere in the text and the message is a mess..plenty nonsence.. (im not a power user, hardly use any apps but do use whattsap... never been dropped or got wet). i upgraded to gingerbread, performance improved but all RBM software vanished.. ok thats no problem...now since 3 months the screen flickers ..bright and dull..no one knows why.. im not happy but ph keeps working..this ph has just survived 24 mths...WOW..still use orrig batt get 24 to 30 hrs per charge.. my pics are good.. even on my laptop.. i got no prob with hardkeys.. but sometimes the "reload" is very slow ..im unlikely to go ICS.. u guys having too many problems..Other than diff of froyo and ICS with LG L7 series 2 it seems the black is slightly more powerfull.. so ill prob get a Mini S3 or 4..Besides the price of a ph whats incl by way of mins /mg's sms/mms also applies. I'm in S Africa

                                    first make sure you are running official firmware gingerbread or froyo.
                                    root your device. how?. in froyo download gingerbreak and install it. in gingerbread refer in xda tutorial for more detail instructions.
                                    after you're OB is rooted install rom manager in google play, open that and choose install recovery LG P970.
                                    then download cyanogenmod 4.2.2 nightly http://get.cm/?device=p970. also download google apps here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip.
                                    then put downloaded files on your sd card. then after that reboot your phone and boot from recovery- to do that just go to rom manager that you have been downloaded and choose boot from recovery.
                                    once you are in recovery mode choose wipe data/factory reset (hold down volume button and choose by pressing power button) after that choose and select wipe cache partition
                                    also choose and select advanced menu and select wipe dalvik cache then go back and select install zip from sd card and select cyanogenmod nightly zip file.
                                    ( wait until its finish installing ) and after it is already installed choose and select from sd card google apps zip and wait until its finish installing.
                                    and after its done just select reboot your phone and yes ! you just install cyanogenmod 10.1 (jellybean 4.2.2)

                                    note: you must running official lg firmware froyo and gingerbread only or else you will get security error in rebooting from recovery .

                                    note: i am not responsible for any damage to your phone ( just follow the instructions step by step and everything will be fine )
