[Optimus One, P500, V General] shyam2010:
ok..i am a noob too.. so what all guys are saying is that, let me simplify:

There are basically 3 steps,

first

, install a "gingerbreak" app, which is a apk (u can copy it ur mem.card and using

file manager

(its default in your stock android), u can install it from ur android after copying

secondly

, install ROM Manager Free from Market and Install ClockworkMod Recovery from that app(dont fret about technical names..just do it), its easy as click and download

thirdly

, download the Custom ROM like Mik's CM7 6.5.6 or something that pleases you and copy the necessary files posted in the Custom ROM'S page, all will be zip files...and restart the phone , By pressing vol.up+home+power button..u Will get to a different screen(that is recovery) , and make a nandroid backup as everyone says(all options are seen in the recovery) ...then clear cache..clean anything and everything..then install zip file from sd card...choose the Custom ROM and Restart (and

lastly , forgot to tell you

,navigate by presssing volume keys and menu key as ok button)

..ok...maybe its not simple as it looks,,once you try..it will be easy as taking candy from a baby, thanks to all the guides and developers and all the ppl that supports it.

There are further step by step tutorials , if u search for it.. i was confused as hell too.. dont worry, U Will get the hang of it Noobz :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
you should really follow the instructions on the rom of your choice, but ill just give you the general scope of things:

1. root phone using one of the methods found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901247

2. after rooting, flash custom recovery:

http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/221388-custom-recovery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html

3. download rom of your choice from the link in #1 and move it to the root of your sdcard (which is directory /sdcard)

(3.5 you can use titanium backup to backup your apps. the sdcard should stay untouched while you flash your phone but im pretty sure that your internal memory will be erased. i didnt do this and i lost all of my apps so i dont really know where this step should go but i think it belongs here. there should be a folder on your phone with those backed up apps. move that folder to your computer. i didnt do this so im not sure if this is how it goes, sorry. btw this is optional.)

4. boot into recovery (with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power)

5. make a nandroid backup

6. wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache (follow the instructions on the rom that you chose)

7. flash (your rom name).zip

8. reboot phone (might take a while, thats normal)

the following is if you backed up your apps earlier:

9. move the folder with your apps backed up back to your phone in the exact same directory it was

10. restore it with titanium backup

someone please confirm this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gurpreet9080:
thanx guys :)

is there any danger of getting the phone bricked or dead??

and do i have to only install the rom of my choice or is there anything to do with kernals also?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gurpreet9080:
what do u mean by "void forever" ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
could brick.... ;)

Regarding bricking the phone, IT sure would, if you dont follow the instructions as mentioned! I almost bricked mine yesterday! Since there was a walk-through, i was able to revive it! So make sure you understand the whole process before rooting it :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:
is a custom rom ~~

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrimmenator:
Wondering which gingerbread or miui is the best as far as stability and features? I have been using ef3.6 for some time with no issues but don't want to get left behind if all the new development is going to gingerbread roms. Please anyone let me know which if any of these would be the best to update to.

My goal is not to start any feuds over which rom is better, just to get some educated info so that all functionality works and is stable and battery not draining etc.

thx

just realized this is probably in wrong forum but not sure how to move. soooooo sorry. will try and figure out.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
He admitted that he made a mistake which makes him better than 99% of posters on here.

As for which rom is best...its very subjective. Cm7 is a good balance between vanilla speed and addons and tweaks. Miui has a really nice ui overhaul and customizations. Om(f)gb are fast pure android goodness but might have a bit more broken.

You can't really go wrong with any of them and what you like best is inherently subjective. So give them all a try I'd sayn.

And if you are happy with ef, there's no need to jump ship right now. Newer might be objectively better but you might prefer to stick with what works. All of the aosp Roms have minor glitches so you could always wait a couple weeks and reevaluate.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrimmenator:
thx, this was exactly what i was lookin for. will stay on ef for awhile till all is functional with one of the gb roms.

i could not figure out how to move this to the correct forum so if any know how or if a mod can do for me i'd appreciate some help.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
post some pics. Id like to see how it looks in the real world.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Here's a few photos. It does leave the top and bottom somewhat exposed, but the corners are protected and that's generally what it would fall on. No question it doesn't provide the best protection out of all the cases out there, but it's more than adequate and it really does add very, very little bulk and weight. The plastic has the same feel as the battery cover, so it's not slippery at all. For my needs, it's perfect.

The next "big" thing will be when Samsung/AT&T decide to give us our last update for this phone. Then what?

I stopped depending on AT&T after the whole froyo fiasco. I've been a flash-aholic ever since and can't see myself ever going back.

Once Samsung releases the source code for GB, custom roms will only be even better.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
If you haven't ever flashed a custom rom then I can see how boredom could set in. I have been a flashoholic since the first month I got the phone. Tried out fixed 2.1 roms, then all the original 2.2 roms, then CM7 on one phone and 2.3.4/2.3.4 roms on my second cappy. The ONLY WAY any phone will be better is the SGS2 when it comes out. While at a ATT store I tested my cappy running g CM7 OC/uv'd to 1400Mhz against the newest Motorola and my phone was just a Tad faster out of three speedtest and CPU test I performed. I showed it to the att workers and they were surprised how good mine works compared to the Motorola that has dual core cpu's. So I WONT BE giving up on my Cappy until SGS2 comes out and then it will be my backup fo sho. Secondly if you become a flashoholic it is like having a NEW and improved phone almost every day. Thanks to CM7 and Apex

[HTC Inspire 4G] nmatteis:
Hi guys, i just did alot of browsing and searching and couldnt find what i was looking for... im currently on the virtuous unity rom (Sense 3.0) but its kinda slow, so i overclock and my battery isnt good at all.

basically what i want is just to turn the "3d" off of the launcher, i want to keep the lockscreen, power control toggles in the menubar, messaging app, etc.

i truely think the 3d effect, carousel, and all the unnecessary animations are bogging down my preformance....

is there a rom that uses sense 2.1 w. 3.0 features?

is there a way i can turn the 3d off the homescreen?

sorry if i sound dumb, im just really new to rooting and roms and everything.... thanks for the help in advance

I would give the new Synergy Rom a try. I know I will as soon as I get my replacement.

I was in the same boat as you. Use Android Revolution; it runs sense 2.1, but you can flash the sense 3.0 mods for it separately (lockscreen, weather, etc).

On some Gingerbread Roms you can't see recovery unless you have Gingerbread bootloaders. And the Rom you loaded has a voodoo kernel and that's where the voice you are hearing is coming from.

Flash back to stock to see if it does it there. Then reflash CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
Maybe you restored system data from a different ROM and it broke something. Flash back to stock and then follow the direction to a T on flashing CM7. Do not restore anything and see if you have the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tankmetal:
I used cm7 for 2 weeks to see what all the fuss is about. I had the problem you where describing. in my case it was caused by restoring too much stuff from titanium back up. follow the instructions and you shuld be fine.

After getting it working I did not like cm7 so I uninstalled it and went to the i9000 gingerbread based ROMs(I am using continuum) and dident look back.

Us cappy owners are fortunate to have such a rich developer community with so much to choose from.

I'm with mts (manitoba telephone service) here in canada and i believe im still picking up their towers becuase for the first second when the phone boots up it says mts but then goes to emergency calls only. i tried update i tried searching networks selecting automatically etc but still nothing. rebooted, did factory reset everything.

just wondering about the themes,pulldown menu,circle battery gauge,the blue alien contact and dial mods here.will they work or be kept working on the infuse if i flash to the GB beta rom(or future GB roms)?

will everything go back to stock form and whatever the ROM developers push with their ROM package?

im on the infused 1.5.3 with stock kernel. also wondering what kernel right now is best to match with my ROM?

thank you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: Infuse Beta Rom

Most all of the user customizations will work with the Infuse v2 Beta

just like with the Infuse 1.53 but like any other customizations you will need to re-apply themes, wallpapers and any other stuff you have customized.

If you flash any custom roms at all you will not get the OTA GB or any other updates from AT&T unless you go back and reflash the Froyo stock rom first.

Hope this helps

Good luck! :rolleyes:

I am having major problems.

1-Wifi stops working and I have to reboot

2-My phone wont reboot unless I pull the battery.

3-My battery drains VERY quickly in standby.

What on earth should I do? I have S-OFF and I followed the guide to rooting using the PG58IMG file.

Please, could someone help?

Also, setcpu doesnt stick after reboot and adfree doesnt work at all. TB works fine as does root explorer.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Tatdude806:
One important point to remember is that this is a BETA! They made that clear. I had all the same problems, said to hell with that and used the RUU to put everything back to stock, now it is fine. I'd wait for a stable release (and CM7) before you try again. These problems seem to be common. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
So, by going back to stock, you lose root but maintain S-OFF correct?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] splayer7:
That is correct
[HTC Sensation] mtw4991:
I followed the Unrevoked guide, s-off, install CWM via the program, wifi/reboot/battery all good here!
[HTC Sensation] Tatdude806:
You lose s-off... I know I had it happen, your results may vary, but I did lose s-off after running the RUU...

I also followed the guide to the letter, (this is not the first or the last I have s-off'ed/rooted), so I am not a noob, but I can only report what has happend to me. I may try again this afternoon for fun, BUT until CM7 comes out for the sensation, I probably won't waste my time.
[HTC Sensation] Tatdude806:
The thing people need to remember, with this being "beta" these issues have to be dealt with one at a time. Eventually it will be a true one step process. Seems like a lot to go through for so little. BUT now that the Source Kernel has been released by HTC, Now that s-off has been achieved it won't be long until a good supply of QUALITY roms will be available.
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
If you flash a custom ROM, all your issues will magically disappear... :D
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I am a little scared that I will just get further into trouble. Nothing seems to work right anymore. I cant even turn off my friggen phone the right way anymore...

If I manage to get it back to stock rom, can I use the old temp root methods while I wait for things to be ironed out?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Tatdude806:
Not always... Read through the forums, there are reports of issues EVEN WITH A CUSTOM ROM! Please don't give false hope. Standard disclaimer should always be, Results May Vary...
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Of course you can. But, for example, the wifi problem will be gone if you flash a custom, because it is probably an incompatibility between the boot.img and the modules. Just try flashing a custom :)
