[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
This is already answered in the very first post on this thread (caveats).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
This week I am planning to give it a shot.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Doktornotor, does the paolo's Rom has more speed than the stock one. I have used zip by Andy. In that zip it takes about t 5 seconds for the selected video or audio to start. Apps opening not snappy. What about paolo's rom?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Not really. This is just rooted with some cosmetic tweaks and touches, but you simply cannot expect any speedups when being stuck with a stock debugging kernel.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Can Franco tweaks be applied to improve speed?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Testing this ROM now ... not over the top fast or anything ... nice and decent ... no issues so far ... battery seems to be doing ok .... everything works ... (on ginger 1.2)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarfaraz1989:
that is exactly wat i was looking for
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mathew3184:
why is d lockscreen still froyoish?ws d rotary 1 standard for gb?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Quick update regarding this GB ROM:

1. Lock screen is same as froyo .. The only changes in UI is the notification bar ... The icons are nice ... they change color depending on activity ...

2. No FCs so far ... No problem with any app ...

3. Performance is decent ... no lags in UI ... nor during charging ... Phone runs nice and cool ... Linpack returned a score of 7.6 (prec 2.2)

4. Although its early days, battery life is pretty stunning ... with 2g data on and email set to push, plus FB, twitter and linkedin syncing, battery is holding up really well ...

5. Camera and audio quality is really good ... DivX videos play really well ...

6. Even with maps and everything running, phone sleeps really well ...

7. App2sd working without a hitch on my 512mb ext3 partition

8. Tried wifi both at home and work ... connects without a hitch ...

9. Haven't tested BT handsfree cos I don't own one ...

You should flash this ROM over other GB roms if:

1. You are ok without overclocking

2. You can live without the CM goodies (this one is a little hard)

3. You don't mind spending 30mins to flash twice (once using LGTool and then using ur recovery)

4. You want GB but you don't want any of the bugs

Regarding flashing this ROM:

1. You will have to first download the leaked ROM and the program and flash according to instructions ... uncheck the 'image recovery' box to retain ur custom recovery ...

2. Then flash this ROM without wiping... this way, you will have root and GSM enabled ..

3. If for any reason you wish to go back, yes, there is no other alternative, you need to flash LG official ROM (2.2.x) using KDZ, then root and install custom recovery ... else you will lose GSM services ...

Hope I have answered all the questions that have been posted here .... Will update battery use after battery calibration ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
You need to ask LG, this is (almost) stock ROM.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
@k4ce,

Very good review. I am planning to try it soon. BTW, how are games running?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Does the basband communicates with kernel for functioning? If we use e.g. Andy's leaked rom zip and then flash LG's original 2.2 kernel, will it give us GSM?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
1/ Yes.

2/ No, stock LG 2.2 kernel does not work with the baseband version AMSS6038 from the leaked 2.3.3 at all. Not to mention, it does not boot at all. :p
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarfaraz1989:
what is baseband ??? is it some firmware embedded in the rf chip ??? Or a component of rom *inside the kernel* maybe ..other ppl(in other devices thread) talk abt radio all the time..And now its here on our O1
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Yes, radio (not FM radio).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] flaviopac:
they work pretty well!

eg: angry birds seems to play smoother then froyo 2.2.2 clocked at 787mhz!

Considering this rom hasn't o'c till now, I'm pretty satisfied.. and the final results (with overclock) will be obviously better!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
General gaming performance:

Froyo 600mhz < Froyo 729mhz < Ginger 1.2 600mhz < Mik's CM7 600mhz < Mik's CM7 729mhz ....

But the spread is very less .... so Games running really decent ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Layio:
Is this rom have LG Hidden Menu? (3845#*500#)

Can anybody post screenshoot with new icons from notification bar? I don't like circual battery, and I wanna know is in this rom.

So I must wipe or not? Maybe I can go from froyo to this leak without wipe?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rockvoid:
hmm

yes it has...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
No, you cannot go from froyo to this build ... u need to flash the leaked firmware using LG tool first ... then when you go to Ginger 1.2, u don't wipe ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Is it really worth the trouble? We already have 2 gb versions. Moreover, one loses the capability to change roms untill he uses kdz.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rockvoid:
kdz file can be built from these russian-files... you also can convert older kdz-files for working with russian-tool... its an official flashing tool from LG.

just somebody has to do it ;-)

i think P500 has to be added to this tool...to create a kdz-file of gingerlol.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=510270

kdz is just the packed version of all *.mbn and *.img files...

--> for me this version is better than mik_os CM7 because this one is really stable! everything works!

its very fast and i have 80% battery left after 24 hours (but i didn´t use it very much...)

this version has new modem-firmware (baseband) ... other gb-roms don´t have it yet..
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] me2kimi:
Hi, I've waited about 5 minute and there is no activity at Android boot screen. What should i do?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] me2kimi:
Sorry, it stuck after install gingerLoL. Is it normal?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Nope ... not normal ... go into custom recovery ... wipe everything ... then flash the leaked ROM using LG tool and try again
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Agreed ... flashing to this ROM and flashing from this ROM is a pain ... but hey, options are always better .... and this one is bug free ... yes, not performance oriented but still ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Finally took the plunge. Just flashed the stock gb rom the russian way. After setting up everything, it took 3 minutes to install. Speed is ok. But our cm has better speed.

One more thing my neocore giving only 37 max that too in internal memory and with sound off. Neovore also lags a bit. Not as smooth as our custom roms.

Did i do something wrong?

Everything else is working ok.

Guess i am stuck with this thing for some time as i cannot flash other rom. Will have to look for kdz thing in a day or two. Lets see where it goes from now.

But guys, what are your neocore scores? I had unchecked recovery while using lg thunder. I had also chose erase efs apps.

One more thing i did not wipe and format before using lg tool.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
^ Did you flash GingerLOL 1.2 using custom recovery or are u just using the leaked russian ROM ?

I think I got close to 40 on neocore with sound off ...

And the 'not wipe' is after flashing using LG tool and before flashing GingerLOL ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] me2kimi:
So I need to wipe all first then install leak ROM. Then install custom rom via recovery without wipe right?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
I am on stock gb. Not flashed gingerlol yet.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Perfect :) ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] me2kimi:
Thanks. Will try it later
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
So who else is on gingerlol? Are you satisfied with this?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] maninhas:
overall im satisfied its a litle bit slow but its manageable everything works just a anoying bug on sms when we write a long message it doesnt send most times can someone tell me whats about???

but one thing that is very good in this rom is that we dont have to turn on data to receive or send mms it starts all alone to receive and send... thats a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!! but im very satisfied :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] maninhas:
just find out why cant send sms its not about to small or to big they are its because : When i put this "não" doesnt send if i put like this "nao" it send i cant seem to put accents in words it doesnt accept it wich is bad anyone has a solution???
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Is the kdz working well after a person has flashed leaked and then gingerlol?

Or are there any difficulties?

I read somewhere a person lost his data!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Using KDZ is a solution, but it's not the only one. You can use LGMDP and flash only partition, amsshd and amss. In this way you will save time. I have attached the needed files here (you will have to extract the zip).

LGMDP from here.

You have to manually select the files (partition.mbn, amsshd.mbn and amss.mbn), close the window (click on x on top right) and then just click the Download button.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Thanx a lot for the zip. Will we have to choose "erase efs apps" again. can you tell me in detail what is this efs thing and options under LGMDP? Though, I currently will use this build for a while, I just want be sure of info in case I want to go back to other roms.

One more thing. Can we convert ext4 partition to ext3 or ext2?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sanmore:
Does pcsuite work with this rom
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Thanks, but I get just a corrupt (and obviously incomplete) ZIP (38,931 B). Can you upload it somewhere else?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
It would be good if the working link is posted on first page with a brief tutorial.

Further, any news on progress on this ginger lol eg new features, new tweaks, any oc kernel development?

Here at xda very few users have tried this. I have a feeling of disconnectedness!

This baseband thing really sucks. Why did lg change the baseband? Will the baseband remain the same?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Already linked there. As for tutorial, if you do not understand the post linked there, presumably - not for you. :D

http://www.androidworld.it/forum/mo...one-114/android-2-3-3-su-un-sito-russo-19144/ is the original thread. No, nothing new. Definitely do not expect much kernel development without source code. :p

I very much doubt they are going to throw it away... :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Ok, first things first :-). Another link for the zip here and here.

@lekhwani: I have never used the "erase efs apps" option and I really doubt it's usefulness.

As for converting ext4 to ext3 and/or ext2, there is no easy way to do it. I, for example only use ext2 and don't rely on the recovery to create/format the partition (since I use CWM so ext4 is the default on formatting and ext3 on creation).

If you have an ext3 or ext4 partition and want ext2 you can use my small guide posted here. This is mainly for CWM. To upgrade to ext3 write in the shell (adb shell) tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and if you want ext4 just format from recovery (format /sdext) (CWM). With AmonRa it's very simple since it's creating ext2 by default and you have the option to convert to ext3 and then to ext4 in menu.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
@doktornotor, you don't take things in right context. I am talking about link of radio files given by marioemp. Because it's a new way of going back to froyo apart from kdz, it would be better if you post it on first page with a little tutorial on flashing only radio files via LGMDP.

@marioemp, thanks for the zips and info.

Further, I had used erase efs apps while using LGMDP. Can it create problems while going back to old baseband?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
It shouldn't create more problems. I already did this twice with no bad experience. If you pay attention and don't try anything else you can't go wrong.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Redpik:
First of all, I tried this rom and observed that my old DarkTremor' partition (ext3) could not mount. Flashed a2sd again with no result. A2sd gui force closes. I thought it should work with 2.3.3. And it's quite laggy compared to my old nessy rom. So, i changed it back. Now waiting for the sources :d

Froyo radio way is so simple and wors like a charm.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
My quadrant score:

Stagefright off.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Well, it does work unless you create the partition with broken CWM or other broken tool.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Jaani:
Can anybody post a screenshot of the stock camera interface of the leaked 2.3 rom pplzzzzz...atleast tell is it like the stock froyo like???
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Redpik:
I was using DarkTremor's script before. So my partition was already created and been used having apps installed. Indeed, I never tried to format it. Only that I flashed Mic'os 2.3.4 and works fine. I guess the new kernel (.35) is responsible for this bug.

Thanks mate.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Yes it is indeed like the stock froyo cm ... will try to upload a pic soon
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Added themes link to the first post... :p
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] thatduderob:
Can anyone confirm whether bluetooth works 100%?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Jaani:
yes plzzz do it..is there any changes in settings from froyo???
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] toxicro:
Yes bluetooth rocks
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] novjean:
i cant root the leaked rom.. can any one help me with this... how i install the gingerlol without rooting the leaked rom...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
If you have installed the leaked rom, and didn't uncheck the recovery while using lgmdp tool, you can use use this tool again to flash recovery only. Save amonra or clockwork recovery on any folder and flash via lgmdp tool. The recovery will be flashed and then you can go to recovery as usual and flash ginger lol rom as usual.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Can gparted app convert ext 4 partition to ext 3 and vice versa directly via my windows xp system? I have huge amount of data on my 16 gb card.

This baseband issue sucks big time. I want to flash cm again. Switching back and forth is really a pain in the ass. Wish there was a way without using pc our laptop. Always have been a great fan of mik and his work. Was on mik's cm for last 5 months.

Just waiting for things to develop till the official update. But I believe, eventually I will come back to cm.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
No. Do a CWM backup of sd-ext, reformat the partition (not SD card!) to ext3 and then restore the sd-ext backup only.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] novjean:
y video call is not supported in gtalk...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Because you fail. It is supported.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] novjean:
i installed the rom correctly.. all other things r working.... it also shows the webcam icon on gtalk.. but when i call.. it goes to blank screen and thn to normal.. nothing happens...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Now don't tell me that you don't know that cwm recovery creates partition in ext4 only. There is no way of downgrading from ext4 to ext3 or ext2 via phone, imho, unless you recreate the partition.!!!!!?????
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Nowhere I said to create it via CWM. In fact, there is no way to convert ext4 to ext2/3 whatsoever. You need to reformat it. What I said is to use CWM to selectively backup and restore the contents. Read more carefully next time.

Go take the issue of CWM being stupid and formatting everything to ext4 to its developer and use something else. There are tons of other means to format it to ext2/ext3 (such as AmonRa, for starters) or tons of PC utilities or native Linux tools.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] thatduderob:
Big thanks... This rom rocks.... So far very stable, everything ive done works great, watched movie, bluetooth, music, email.... The only working bluetooth gingerbread rom!!! Touchscreen is smooth and no inversion...

The only thing was when i first booted no data, after the panic settled down that i had wiped my ime and no GSM forever, i checked the APNs which werent set. Set those and been rocking since. So far it seems signal strength with new baseband might be better. Noticed consistent H signal at home when usually it bounces to E and back.

Either way i am loving this for those that NEED bluetooth I HIGHLY recommend...

AGAIN HUGE THANKS
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] novjean:
y my video chat is not working.... can any one help me with that...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
No, sorry. The package talk1.3.nowifi.v2.zip comes from this thread. If it does not work, go complain there. Not my problem and not the ROM problem.

No more "video not working with GTalk" complaints here, please.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
Kindly add this in the first post to prevent such questions ....

Only bug I found so far was that the volume icons don't swap when in landscape mode .... also miss the cathode ray screen lock animation (not a bug) .... Else nice functional GB rom with all the features ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Hmmm, maybe re-read it? ;)

Not really sure what you mean here? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
He means if someone is having problem with gtalk, he should be advised to go to the link thread and such advice may be given on first page.

Secondly he means in landscape mode volume keys i.e.. higher for lower and vice versa in portrait mode should be swapped which is not being swapped.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Apparently waste of time since you have not bothered to read the first post either. It is ALREADY THERE. Been there for about a day. Sigh.

First time I hear this. Glad they are not swapped, do not get the logic why they should be swapped in the first place. Sounds plain confusing.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
It's just that majority of persons are right handed and while in landscape mode it's the psychological feeling that stronger right hand(finger) should be used to strengthen the volume and weaker left hand(finger) should be used to weaken the volume.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Little BIG problem that cost me. The APN is autochanging :eek: to the SIM generated APN even with WIFI on, what should i do? i always used a created invalid APN. Is a ROM bug or default kernel, or my mistake :cool:.

BTW where is the integrated voip settings, for internet sip calling, or not in this version of ginger.:mad:

Big thanks for this rom.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Solved

The only way to stop transfer data is from status bar. Disable from menu settings, or ather APN on/off app/widget, or changing the APN didn't worked for me, was autostarted imediatley the SIM default APN.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rockvoid:
sometimes my phone (GingerLOL 1.2) doesn´t go to sleep...so battery goes down quite fast...(2% per hour doing nothing).

in battery status graph its "active" the whole time - even if i do not use it.

maps is stopped and all data disabled... i charged it 2 hours ago and did nothing..now i have 95 percent battery left...

strange....
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
One strange thing: Root explorer always showing 9gb used and 4gb free. Even after I deleted some nand backups. Can anyone check?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
2% per hour is minimum on standby generally unless you apply some tweaks.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Sounds like Root Explorer is broken...

busybox df -h

from terminal emulator to check what is really used.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rockvoid:
hmmm.. that´s pretty much.

i could use my phone 4-5 days with stock 2.2.2 ....with this version it only lasts 2 days max. doing nearly nothing...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] novjean:
Ny updates for gingerlol????
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mcardielo:
Hi, someone have tried to put franco's Kernel on this ROM? what happened?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Nothing special, just no GSM :p
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Jaani:
Can anybody show how the camera interface looks in this rom???
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
I tried franco kernel 17 on ginger lol.

The phone boots up with both kernels and gsm is also there.

But with bfs version system could not read sd card. And on cfs version system could read sd card but could not run neocore or quadrant. System also became laggy with both kernels.

One thing was proven out of this. kernel has nothing to do with baseband. GSM was working fine with both bfs and cfs kernels on ginger lol.

So what is that thing responsible for communicating with baseband?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
baseband is a separate firmware image and resist in a separate partition, other

than system or data. so baseband communicates via kernel and rpc calls, and

uses allways the same mechanic - you can look in the kernel code for arch/mach-msm/smd.c and other files...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
Paolo just woke up. It's early morning in Italy! He has been informed via a member on xda. He has started working on it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 22VIN:
Camera in official 2.3 ROM is the same as in 2.2.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k4ce:
2 bugs identified:

1. Notifications dont disappear from lockscreen (like missed calls) even if they have been cleared or whatever ... Happened a couple of times to me

2. Music player not refreshing list with new downloaded tracks ... (in my case it was an 18mb mp3 about 8mins in the same folder as the rest of my music)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ame85:
Hi...as regards notifications, I think it is not a bug. When you get a missed call reminder, you can't simply clear the notifications, or it will appear again after some time. To get rid of it, you have to go an see the missed call menu. Doing this, you won't have the "missed call" message anymore on your statusbar. It's a strange policy, I know, but it seems to me as if it was made on purpose...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
V20G rooted zip by paolo!

You need to just flash it over ginger lol 1.2. But it will be good if you wipe dalvik cache.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mujju85:
Can I flash via recovery or I have to do via Russian method
