Check out more than 60 custom ROMs for LG Optimus Me P350 on Hack My Android Forums.
If you own an LG Optimus Me P350, you must be knowing that your LG Optimus Me runs Android 2.2 Froyo. LG had not provided any update for the OS, though you can try out CyanogenMod 7.2 or CyanogenMod Nightlies ROM to get Android 2.3.7. If you wish to go beyond this, you can install Honeycomb on LG Optimus Me P350. ICS is coming soon for this phone and we’ve got some screenshots of ICS 😀 Coming back to Honeycomb, Cips Gokhle has developed this ROM and Venkat Kamesh has rectified the bugs. It is a themed CM 7.2 ROM and everything works well on this. I am using this ROM right now and it really has a very good UI. Let us now see some screenshots and the tutorial to install Honeycomb on LG Optimus Me P350.

Prerequisites
- Before you install any ROM on your phone, it is always advisable to take a back up of your phone’s data. Backing up your contacts is easy and you can back up all your contacts to your phone’s SD Card.
- To back up your applications, I recommend you to use ASTRO File Manager which also allows cloud storage.
- Make sure you have enough battery on your device to support the installation. If the device powers off due to lack of battery power, it may brick the device.
- Custom Recovery Installed
