Sorry for this question but -

Is it nesscary for me to format /system before installing a ROM on ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 or it will do it automatically for me after i wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash the ROM?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
No need

Hello xda!

I bumped into a problem. I'm trying to flash a new ROM to my p500, but it seems I'm doing something wrong because each ROM I flash gets stuck at it's specific logo ( not the lg one ). Until now I have successfully flashed several kernels on my stock ROM gb 2.3.3 using latest cwm (only franco's).

Every time i have wiped dalvik cache and cache partition.

Any help is much appreciated!

Roms i have tried are: mik 6.6.1 and phoenix
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
wipe dalvik, cache and data as well when u flash a different rom. you dont need to wipe.data when u are flashing another version of d same rom :)

Hi!

I'm really noob at this... but I want my Gingerbread :(

The thing is I bought an unlocked P500h (in Argentina), but as always, companies give a **** about our crappy country and there's no update for us, either from the "LG Mobile Support" or the stupid PC Suite, even though everything in the LG site for this country indicates there's an update. Anyway, I'm stuck with Froyo v2.2 (V10A).

I searched Google, and always this forum popped up, so I guess you must be the best around :o

After reading and reading and going dizzy I figured I have to get the official V20G and LGMDP 1.5 and follow this guide. When choosing my image folder I leave everything checked, as I never installed any recovery. And when clicking start hold my breath till I see the phone booted on Gingerbread :D

I think I messed up myself with the baseband. Flashing the official V20G means it already has the proper baseband for GSM and I don't have to do anything else, right?

I've seen several links of the "official" V20G (the one in the guide above is broken). They are all the same I guess... for example, this one here

I just want the official and lastest v2.3. I didn't understand what the differences between the several V20A-G are, aside the languages (I already searched, just found threads of someone asking and others replaying "search").

Well, that's all. Anything else I should consider prior/while flashing? Last thing I want is a $1000 brick. Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
1) dont get official GB

2) dont get official GB :p

either stick wid froyo, or get oxygen/cm7

since u are on d old baseband (froyo), it'll be very easy for u to flash..

official gb has badass battery woes :/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
I recommend you use kdz method to flash the gb firmware

Also

There's not much difference in v20 a-g

Jus download and flash one

Baseband wont be a issue
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
I second that lg's

Gb has poor battery life
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sakura90:
I see... I've read about battery issues, but some said same/better, others worse.... Even using 2G (no data, 3g or anything, as I'm on prepaid :P) the battery is notably worse than froyo?

And if you don't mind answering further... are there any noticeable changes from old froyo to ginger? Aside cosmetic changes ofc. I mean, general speed, responsiveness, battery life (which seems worse in the end), features, etc. If the battery's really a problem maybe I skip updating altogether, stay on old froyo and maybe later consider going with custom things.

I know there are Android changelogs everywhere, I ask about the O1 specifics. Does it change your life or it's the same crap with a black bar? If the battery really is worse, unless it's day and night changes, I'll be keeping froyo then <_<

P.S.: One last thing, within froyo, are there newer versions? I have 2.2, I think I've seen somewhere 2.2.1 or something... (or where those customs?)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
IMO, battery life with stock gingerbread is not so bad actually, if you are smart enough to track down battery draining things.

however i wouldn't really recommend it, stay on froyo or go custom ROMs - dont ever think about stock gingerbread, because i feel it's just small cosmetics changes from froyo, and since you are new to custom roms, upgrading to stock gingerbread will really confuse you if you decide to flash a custom rom from there.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sakura90:
Well, I'll keep Froyo. I just bought the phone and I don't see problems with it, just though that Ginger would be a meaningful upgrade.

Feel free to comment otherwise if anyone liked Ginger. But general opinion is... stick to Froyo (always talking among stocks).

On another note, did V20H actually fixed the battery drains? There was an old thread, but nothing conclusive.

And something else in the 'Ginger vs. Froyo' [stock]. I've read that not all apps could be moved to SD. Are games ok for moving to SD? The rest of the apps I use are fine on the phone, but games tend to take much space :P. And performance wise, Ginger made any achievement? Thx for your time. Aside this my mind is clear as water now :3
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yeshu1984:
Hey guys, I am a new member. I have a T mobile LG Optimus T and it had froyo and was running fine. I had rooted it. I wanted to try out gingerbread and therefore I flashed the open European firmware using KDZ updater (I followed the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060121).

The update process went perfectly well, but my phone is stuck at the android logo. I tried a couple of other firmwares including the stock optimus one Indian firmware, but nothing seems to be doing the trick despite the fact that each time the update process finishes successfully.

I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

I used this guide to change default instal location to sdcard

http://lgp500-optimusone.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-moveinstall-apps-to-sd-card-on.html

Also according to benchmarks i did ages ago

Stock gb was having equal scores wit stock froyo

(V10c vs v20b)

So stick to froyo

U wont gain anything by going 2 stock gb

Removing Ndrive files

Hello,

I am trying to remove Ndrive completely but some files are still in the phone's memory because when I reinstall the Ndrive app it says it will replace the files.

I have deleted the remaining folder from my sd card..removed Ndrive using root uninstaller still no success.

Can anyone tell the location f remaining files of the program in the phone memory? I want to install the app as a fresh.

so, are there any roms which support v20h ?

reliable GPS

Hi everebody,

I'm gonna use my P500 mainly for GPS navigation. I find info saying, that custom roms/kernels screw up GPS (same as camera) . But it would be nice to strip down some stock apps, gain some efficiency, keep system bare minimum. So I'm thinking what way should I go:

1. stick to stock Froyo and forget about all customizations

2. find GPS safe custom rom (does it exist?)

3. find GPS safe custom kernel (does it exist?) and install it over stock Froyo rom.

4. stick to stock Froyo and customyze it via Android Market applications (setCPU, SystemApp Remover)

5. any other GPS safe options..?

THANK YOU
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
About custom ROMS screwing up, now developments will face bugs.

But i'm currently using Oxygen v1.1 with fserve's v19.2 GBS CFS kernel (the new v20 kernel is BUGGY)

and i have no problems with Camera or GPS (though icon sometimes might not show up, but it works).

Still

if you wish you can switch to stock froyo (was good) and use titanium backup to remove stock apps and strip to minimal.. :)

though on stock froyo you wont be able to use setcpu or anything, coz overclocking needs a custom kernel (and as far as i know, custom kernel + stock roms = not so good a match) :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Spawne32:
Hey guys,

Im pretty new to this whole android thing, just got my first android phone today, 2.2.2 froyo based LG optimus T P509 through Tmobile. Its using the 2.6.32.9 kernal according to the phone.

I chatted up some people with other LG optimus phones about the potential for the 2.3 gingerbread update, but it seems that LG has all but abandoned this phone all together. Personally, its a great phone considering I paid 50 bucks for it brand new within contract and only a partial discount, the only disappointing thing about the whole phone is that it uses an older version of android, and has a relatively slow processor speed of 600mhz, which seems to have a noticeable issue with certain apps and just some general choppyness compared to my brothers HTC sensation 4g which is 1.2ghz dual core.

Ive watched some videos, and some people suggested rooting the phone and running a custom rom that bumps up the processor speed, but, i dont have alot of experience with the whole thing. As a competent computer nerd I am confident i can pull off the procedure without bricking the phone, however I am totally unsure of the semantics of what I will get afterwards.

I dont even know where to start when it comes to selecting a custom rom for the phone, as i enjoy many of the games, gps function, email, messaging, etc that the stock phone has available. I also downloaded a decent amount in terms of games and apps as well, and im wondering if im going to lose all this. One of the big problem areas of the current system is that the messaging is pretty sluggish, the keyboard has a noticeable delay when you go over a certain wpm when using the QWERTY keyboard, so it tends to lag behind what your fingers are doing. This would be the primary reason behind rooting the phone most of all.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction?

you cannot install clockwork mod without root.

After root just get the ROM Manager and install recovery using it..

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

I had a question.

I had made a Nandroid of my Stock Froyo using Clockworkmod.

It has a 311 MB zip file and some 287 MB more in 4-5 iso type files..

so to restore my froyo do i have to just follow the routine?

wipe all stuff then flash the zip?

will it restore my LG stock kernel as well?

EDIT :

I took the leap, anyhow.

Did a total data cache dalvik battery wipe.

After that in install from zip card, cant see a flashable zip.

Then i tried the restore option and selected my stock froyo, but now it says MD5 mismatch, dunno what that means.. :/

so any help, i am currently back on a fresh oxygen v1.1 with all my settings erased IN VAIN :(

Also

I have the Nandroid backup in sdcard>clockworkmod>

and another problem is i had renamed the

folder as STOCK FROYO, so its no longer named as the date and time as it was before..

nevermind i got it done.. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Spawne32:
Actually, stayed up till about 2am last night reading, wound up being pretty successful. I needed to use gingerbreak to root the new LG optimus T running 2.2.2 froyo, z4mod would just auto close back to the menu after a couple of seconds. After that I installed franco kernel v19.4, tried both versions and wound up sticking with BFS, then i installed "cputuner" off the market to overclock the phone to 672mhz and reduced the minimum cpu to 320mhz. Huge improvement in how smooth the phone is, just wish i didnt have to use a application to overclock the phone. Down the road i might give 2.3 gingerbread a try as well.

Accounts and settings disappear on boot.

I happen on some (but more and more frequently) boot to loose all my accounts (except Google) and contacts and calendars events associated to those accounts, and some preferences (widgets settings are resetted, virtual keyboard is back to default Android keyboard). Sometimes it happen on a boot that looks normal and sometimes it happens on a reboot after a boot that got stuck on CyanogenMod boot animation. In later case, it will always happen.

I read somewhere that it could be related to apps being on sd card, but as I did not find somebody with the same problem as me, I could not be sure.

In *theory* I don't have apps on SD, but as I use DarkTremor Apps2sd script (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715940) on Mik's CM7 Rom, in *reality* I have some apps on SD. However, they should be seen as internal apps by the system. As such, I don't have control (and even don't know) if an app will be installed on available actual internal memory or on fake internal memory (sd-ext) because the system will report all them as internal apps.

The purpose of DT's A2SD script is to make apps act and be seen like normal internal apps. Why then would they still cause system problems if the system thinks they are internal apps? I don't understand.

And finally, how can I then try to at least test if my problem is indeed caused because the apps are on SD?

My Micro-SD card is a 8GB class 10 and is almost new (2 months).

Optimus V IHO CM7 ROM GPS and Bluetooth not working

I just upgraded my optimus v from stock Froyo to Inferior Human Organs Unofficial CM7. Everything works great except the GPS and Bluetooth. They haven't worked since I flashed this ROM. I haven't tried anything, because, honestly, I don't know what the hell to do. As you can see in the screenshot, I have 3g and GPS on. But it's not closing in on my location like it did with the stock ROM. The magnetic compass wasn't working before, but today it mysteriously started working.

Also, the market links for all but a few of my apps keep breaking. I go to the "my apps" page and it shows 11 apps installed when I have about 50.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Other than that, I love this ROM. I was starting to think I'd have to buy a new phone to upgrade to gingerbread. Looks like I don't have to!

Update: I reinstalled all the apps not showing in the market "my apps" page. The compass and GPS are working perfectly, quite unexpectedly. I would delete this thread, but I can't seem to figure out how. :)

2. Once it is rooted and I select a ROM I flash the ROM through the SD card right? Can I manually select programs ie: bloatware that I want to uninstall on her phone or does the ROM do that already?

Roms are made for getting rid of bloatware... if you don't like apps you can always use:

2. Delete the apks from their source... but I don't recommend that unless you know what ure doing...

Good luck, and don't forget about the button below;);)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shiftmyevo4g:
Thanks so much for the rapid response. And as far as the bloatware is there a general description for the ROMs that say which bloatware is removed?

Worst case scenario I'll just do a bit more research and use link2sd and try and remove the apks. Is there a link to the link2sd program?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Just uninstall system apps you don't need(there is a filter to only show system Apps) or freeze them, this way.you can reflash the rom and they will still be missing...

Hi I've been playing around with different roms and kernels for a

while but have not gotten what I want on my LG Optimus One from Virgin

Mobile Australia:

1. I want to carrier unlock this phone to use Optus (via Woolworth's

mobile virtual carrier) in Australia. Will a cyanogenmod 7 rom (and

kernel) flash help me do this? I'd heard that stock rom's from LG

could also unlock this phone. The phone came with 2.3.3 installed if

that matters.

2. What rom/kernel package should I use? I've gathered that I have the

new baseband due to 2.3.3 pre install and have been trying to use CM7

6.6.1 (.35 branch kernel included in the rom install). However, I then

get no service error. Have applied new baseband patch signed but, as

is known, that only fixes phone signal and not data. I don't care what

version of android, I just want it carrier unlocked with voice and

data and able to be used as a wifi hotspot.
