[Optimus One, P500, V General] terrycurls:
hey

so i bought an optimus one this week and have already noticed the touch lag and stuff.

was always gonna root it, and have done jailbreaking on ipt/iphones but i know nothing about the android equivalent apart from what i have googled since then.

have read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901247 and a lot of other stuff and i thought i got it, but obviously i didnt.

basically, phone was on 2.2.2 so i downgraded to 10a 2.2 so i could root. ran z4root, installed custom recovery and then flashed milk_os's fixed kernel onto it.

kept showing "android.process.acore has stopped working" errors on screen, and i thought i could just upgrade back to 2.2.2 without breaking the kernel.

couldn't find a download of the latest firmware (but have since then) so i used pc suite 4 to update.

phone is back in 2.2.2 but root is gone and kernel is back how it was before.

tl;dr what i want to know is the difference between a rom and a kernel, and if it is possible to update the OS without changing the kernel, or root on 2.2 and then update to 2.2.2 without removing root so i can then install the milk_os kernel.

i have a copy of the latest update 2.2.2 from my provider which i can install with recovery if it will stop it overwriting kernel and/or removing root.

alternatively, cm7 is a 2.3.3 rom, is it worth just downgrading, rooting and flashing that? i assume that wont break my root

sorry for noobness, i just want to play angry birds without lag and im a compulsive fiddler/breaker.

PS also, if i go to 2.3 gingerbread am i correct in thinking my class2 microsd card will not work anymore on account of app2sd or whatever?

can someone please just tell me the best option for me, i have tried to google and read myself to find an answer but new to the scene and some things seem to be taken as understood and i don't get them at all.

thanks

a. kernal =/= rom

kernel is something that works beneth the operating system.. its like this

YOU -> Interface -> Operating System (ROM/Android/Linux/JVM) -> Kernel -> Hardware

and back.

I also assume LG's updater flashes both the rom and the kernel. so in simple terms, use Custom Rom to flash a new rom (void/CM7/etc) and use it. There is no trick way of the stuff ur explaining to happen.

b. Android 2.2.2 doesn't do jack ****. downgrade to 2.2 then upgrade to CM7 or whatever. class 2 sd cards SHOULD have a random unmount error. i think void might have fixed it; check plz. flashing cm7 should fix everything u explained, but don't expect much from the ROM; its in dev. FYI touchscreen fix is included in cm7

c. custom roms, including cm7 has root built in.

d. conclusion

i. use cm7 route -> flash custom recovery -> flash CM7 (tricky, be careful) -> touchscreen profit!

ii. use froyo rom route -> flash custom recovery -> flash rom of ur choice (void, megatron) -> flash touchscreen kernel -> reboot -> profit

e. press thanks if ur thankful. i would like some thanks lulz

cheers

There is a Kernel you can flash that helps fix the bug

[Optimus One, P500, V General] terrycurls:
thanks!!!

awesome, thanks heaps for that.

just one more thing, i assume the custom roms like cm7 and megatron/void all have root built in? or does the custom recovery do something to stop the root being removed when you reflash
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rforums:
once you root the phone, no matter what custom rom you use, it will still be "un-rooted".

Only when you use the kdz updater to put back original firmware, phone is no longer rooted.

[LG Optimus 2x] abczhou:
Just bought a Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti WHR-G300N . Its a 300M wireless router.

I set the 11n mode with 20M/40M in router, my P990 only can connect with 65M speed.

Not know why ? P990 really support 11n?
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
working here too.

Only got up to 74Mbps though
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Never had mine above 72mbps, but then that's the max my N1 reached as well.

Still, both n speeds though.
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
Had the same issues with my LG Optimus 2x. LG is noting but promises, they can't deliver.

But we should already know this now. It is with all their innovations, they obviously only work in lab environments. Or maybe in Korea.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I can only assume you meant to post that elsewhere, as LG clearly have delivered on wireless N.
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
Wireless N on paper, yes, but if the phone can't get to 150 mbit or 300mbit, then it is just "speed vaporware". What I would expect with N is at least 150mbit and not only 65 or 75 mbit. Taken this into consideration, deliver in regards to the speed, this is what the original post was meant to be :).

I do have a Wireless N 300 Mbit router and that phone never did more than 75Mbit while being connected to the router.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Anything above 54mbps is N, that's all there is too it. If a certain speed was promised you'd have a point.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
who the hell needs speeds of 150-300mbps on the phone anyway
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Guess it might be useful for transferring HD movies, but other than that it's just bragging rights IMO.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hironimo:
Well, those ratings you see in the wlan connection details should only be treated as indication on what speed you may be able to get.

I managed to transfer files over wifi from my LG with speeds ranging from about 3,3 mb/s to 4,3 mb/s (so up to about 32 megabit/s, depends on whether its using samba server or Websharing).

Thats decent enough for music, images and small videos, but for larger transfers i prefer usb, where I get 10 to 18 mb/s for the external sd depending on whether its reading or writing..
[LG Optimus 2x] birdfoot:
Oddly enough, my O2X only managed like 100KB/s on average. It takes a really long time to transfer movies from my computer through wifi and it's not a problem with me router. My HTC desire can manage ~3+MB/s doing the same thing. I wonder if it's something I'm missing or LG makes crappy phones. Not to mention, this phone is sluggish. If one didn't read the specs and found out it is dual-core, one might think it's got lower specs than a Desire Z.

Anyway, the only way for me to get decent wifi speeds on O2X (starting ~2.5+MB/s and then gets to around 500KB/s) seems to be to restart the phone manually before doing transfers. For some reason, the device tends to get super sluggish after long period of use (without restarting). I definitely hope this is a software issue that will be addressed in Gingerbread release (at least).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HexusOdy:
I was talking to a friend of mine today who works for one of the European brands that manufacture a 10.1" Tegra Tablet. A clone of the Gtablet / Advent Vega.

They have been working on a Honeycomb ROM for their unit that was to be released soon, they have a working BETA and were doing final testing and polishing. But they have been told by Google last week that they cannot release it, and that Google will tell them when they can. Seems odd seeing Google gave them the source to develop in the first place.

Could Google be purposefully holding back Honeycomb on other platforms due to an agreement they have with Motorola?

For Motorola to put the investment and marketing into the XOOM I'm sure they would have wanted some assurances that they would have an edge for a set amount of time.

All the new tablets from Acer, Asus etc with Honeycomb have June launches at the earliest. When they have been announced for months and its clear they have production units already.

Its no surprise, just a shame Google couldn't be clear and honest about it. And it's not an Open and free platform if they are restricting people from releasing ROM's.

(Note to mods: there's a thread for Game Gripper, yes, but it isn't very active and is mostly about fixing the left button.)

Just wondering how everyone who has used the Game Gripper feels about it, as I'm thinking about purchasing it... mostly I'm concerned with

1) How is the tactile response of the GG... does it feel anything like an actual controller? (after left button fix) also I used to be pretty hardcore into 2D fighters... are these playable? Especially ones with more strict controls like Garou or SFA3?

2) Can you mod the GG so that it doesn't cover the headphone port?

3) Any games where you felt the GG's button layout or the amount of buttons made it difficult to play?

4) How is the build quality? Have you modded your GG and was it an easy process?

5) Overall, are you satisfied with the GG? Do you feel like the price is justified?

Sorry about asking so many questions lol. It's a niche product so there isn't much info.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
1) Its alright, I can play sf2 fine and beat it no problem.

2) Yes, its called a drill and a drill bit...

3) Some n64 games

4) Did the left/right button swap, pictures can be seen in the actual thread

5) I leave it in my bag or pocket it all the time, so ya. I really like my wii modded controllers though, so whenever i have the possibility of using those, i do.

You could have easily asked these questions in the real GG thread and I would have answered them. The thread is not dead.

Its 15 bucks, stop being cheap and go buy it if u want it.

I just sold my N1 rooted and now I have the ARC which is not.

I am using my SD card that I used with N1, because of apps2sd I formated with Ext3 partition 1gb for custom roms, so actually the data of Ext3 are still there from my N1 on my Arc,but of course I can't see them.

So what should I do now?

Keep Ext3 as it is till the Arc get rooted or it's slowing down my whole SD??

Does my GB rom on Arc see and use the Ext3 or it needs custom roms?

i think you can use before root

because 'mount' command is root only and also add boot script need root

Now that its finally getting warmer in the UK and I won't always have a jacket to put my TAB in I have dug out my old HTC Touch HD phone.

I have my main SIM in the phone and have a data only SIM for the TAB. I love using the TAB for SMS / Email and wondered if anyone has a good way of combining phone / TAB usage, using the TAB for SMS where possible without SIM swapping. The WebSMS solutions don't appear to work within the UK.

[Galaxy Tab General] Archer:
This is by no means a perfect solution, but you could look at apps like WhatsApp or Kik, which are basically a cross between SMS and IM, but use your data plan to send messages. It obviously means that you can only message people that also have the same app installed, but both those apps run on Android and iOS, so that covers a lot of ground.

I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread myself, out of curiosity, to see if there's a web-based alternative.
