Bricked Phone

Hi guys,

I have a problem with a LgP500 of a friend of mine. He said to me that he found his phone locked on the LG screen when he took it from his pocket. He tried to turn off the phone using the power button, but the phone did't respond. He forced it to turn off dislodging the battery and after that he tried to turn on the phone but it continually shows the LG screen.

He had the 20g firmware + clockwork recovery + NexusGinger ROM with Rome Kernel 1.3.3 on the phone. I tried to boot it in recovery mod but it doesn't start, and LG screen always appear but the phone doesn't go on...

I tried to use LGDMP thunder to reinstall the firmware but the program doesn't see the connected phone (LG drivers are correctly installed and LG Virtual modem is set to disabled). What do you suggest now?

I thought that:

1. I could try to use the emergency mode (vol up+ return + power) and see if LGDMP sees my phone

2. I don't remember if fastboot was installed when I update the firmware to 20g version by LGDMP; if it is true, could I use fastboot mode with combo home+power???

3. If the two previous points don't work, I will have to use the "last chance"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883314

Do you think this way is correct???

And do you think that Rome Kernel, which has the bug "the phone doesn't turn on when it is plugged in and charging", can be the reason why LGDMP doesn't see my phone?

I hope that you can help me.....

Future installing 4G network in new roms

Hi all

I have been using HepHappy's last 2 roms on my p500 they are working great

I come from Australia and 4G network starts up soon I was wondering if 4G could be installed into newer roms or is it a hardware issue

regards all and keep up great work

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mr. Nova:
ok.. so now I'm running on CM7 RC1 on my old BB phone, I did the funny sim fix, but the 3G mobile data isn't working and I need to upgrade my BB.. my question here is that if I upgraded my BB will my original backup of stock Froyo 2.2.2 be useless? as I made that backup while I'm on old BB and I chose old BB when I was flashing the recovery.. should I restore my Froyo then upgrade my BB and then make a new backup or what? cuz I really need to keep a backup of my stock Froyo

Rooting

Hello all. I would like to root my Optimus one and have searched the threads on here. I just need a little clarification if possible.

I found a thread which talks about rooting the P500 using 2 methods. The first talks about rooting a P500 with GB V20g. Mine has the GB V20a. Would this still work for me?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15454927&postcount=7

Secondly, the same link offers a second choice of trying Unlock Root. Does anyone recommend this?

http://www.unlockroot.com/

My main reason for wanting to root the phone is so that I can change the country code from Canada to US so that I can access the US version of the former droid market.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
yea the method will work for v20a also

as both are of 2.3.x version :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Aek29:
Thank you. When I am done rooting do I turn the Debugging Mode off?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kiraXce:
Leave it on...certain apps that requires root access may not work properly if u turn off debugging. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Aek29:
Thanks so much. I will leave it on.

Hoping someone might be able to help this next issue. My reason for rooting is so that I can install the market-enabler app which is discussed in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694720

This will allow me to change the country code on my phone to the US code so I can access the US content apps. Some of the apps I wanted are not available through the Canadian market. Does anyone know if this market-enabler will still work now that it is Google Play?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
okay

i wanted to know

what exactly is the tearing issue in vsync off kernels compared to vsync on

also how does it affect the touch

(gaming,scrolling etc)

thanks :)

Hi,

GTA III

At what firmware you can play comfortably in GTA III? At ICS 4.0.4 it does not start, pity, because 3D-performance on this version of the OS is higher than on 2.3
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aravindsagar:
For GTA III

Try GTR (2.3.7, CM7 based). I haven't tried playing GTA III in it, but all the other games I tried worked fine. Also try Dynamite. It is a stock based ROM. Though I haven't tried the latest version, the screenshots do show a GTAIII image..:)

The theme which I liked is the LunarUI theme. You can try out various theme from the market. I personally use Swype as the keyboard. If you get used to it, it is supercool. You'll have to go to their website to download it. Quick Pic is an excellent gallery replacement. MX Video Player, Jota text editor, Titanium Backup... lots and lots of useful apps are there. Just explore and find out.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _purple_:
If you google search page tearing and/or vsync you will definitely understand what it is. It's the screen artifact when fps are higher than screen's max refresh rate. I don't think it affects the touch,just the frames displayed.

Video Capturing Quality

lots of phones have been upgraded in case of video quality from 720p to 1080p by just an update. Can our phones have this kind of update or an app that makes p500 to capture 720p from VGA.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
lol that is not possible, but looks like things like my PC have limitations of 256MB Video memory on Win XP and 1,5GB on Win 7, so I guess anything is possible...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kromastorm:
Thanks for replying. i will have to see the themes part, it seems that adwlauncher is integrated into the ROM which i installed. it comes in the settings option also. i have intalled quick pic, titanium backup ( dont know what i will use it for, i normally backup just the apps ), i have installed swype also. other things i will search when i need it..

I see that there is a DSP manager in CM 7 ROM, i was wondering if there is any other option to make the sound more rich. i have seen PowerAmp and it is good, but trial is a big limitation. any other good audio player with good equalizer?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I don't think so. No software upgrade can change the limitations of the hardware.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
The best solution is to buy a Quad Core phone ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
DSP is the best equalizer available till now for Android. Any other equalizer will burst your speakers and make the sound more worst ;)

Question for anyone who can help?

*Question to anyone who can help.

Phone: LG P500 Optimus One, recovery: Android System Recovery, Build: RA-ThunderG-1.1.0-GNM

Currently running Stock GB 2.3.3

I am looking for a customizable rom, I am looking for a cross between CM, NightlyFourE, and Oxygen ROM. I'm not a gamer so that isn't a big deal, my features I am looking for are,

Stable for everyday use, Wifi works, 3G Data works, able to customize the status bar and remove useless Icons and add the ones I want, hopefully change lockscreen, (i found a good one for me, i think it was in CM7? or another ROM, lock screen shows time and slides down." (reason for the lockscreen is to stop it from unlocking when in my pocket, but still quick enough to unlock when I am buzy working.) Ability to change number of homescreens. pref. to 3.

and long press of backbutton kills apps.

or if anyone knows of how i can do this using oxygen rom, please let me know

I am currently awaiting on an update for NFE because that is an awesome ROM.

For memory that is all I am looking for, if anyone can give me tips on what kind of ROM to use, or if i can get these features by installing certain add ons please let me know.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
You can't change the lockscreen in Oxygen, but it is lot better than CM... and for launcher you can just change it (try nemus launcher;))

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
Indian manufacturers added loads of bloatware like Bollywoodji, pnr status, vaccine & many more.

any app that you find is useless and is written in white text inn TB is safe to uninstall.

But dont mess around with the apps in Red (system apps, if you are new and dont know what they are for).

Also once uninstalled, there is no way to get those apps back, unless you backed them up first!

Ah no one is replying !!! What happened to people around here so selfish!! Useless thread been waiting here for like 11 hours!!!! :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] anuragchowdry:
Well no one is selfish here, its just that not everyone goes through all the posts,probably no one saw your post. Anyways getting to your query OC refers to overclocking your CPU it can be achieved only in custom kernels which have overclocking slots built in. The governors are like presets for the processor meant for different usage patterns like for gaming (performance)will have high overclocking whereas for normal usage or Max battery life conservative governor can be used. As to which kernel is best for the roms you mentioned its better to use the default kernel or else read through the forums of those roms to know more about it. In recoveries I prefer CWM,but it's more a case of ones preference you may like amonra . Try them out yourself to find which suits you better.

Hi,

I am an issue. I have CM 7.2 RC2 installed. It was working fine, but battery life was a worrying issue. So, I flashed it with latest fanco kernel 4, the performance improved a lot. but today I saw some issues. Like when I ended a call, the phone rebooted. also, since then the display keeps switching on and off after certain period.

how can I fix it? Did I screw up something?

KERNEL for optimus one?

I´ve been trying to install a newer kernel but I can´t find a kernel for optimus one. Could you please give me the link that I can download?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _purple_:
"Thank you" posts are not allowed. There is a thanks button for that. Go back to mihir287's post and press it.

The problem resides in the kernel. It has issues that have not been fixed and probably won't be, so you have to try another kernel.

You could try this one. (ThunderVN for gamers has some issues that haven't and won't be fixed)

Optimus T echo

Does anyone else have problems with their Optimus T echoing? Not when you speak, but for the person on the other end? For example, when someone calls you they hear their own voice echo every time they speak.

I had this phone with Megatron Rom and an OC kernel installed, but gave it to a friend. Now when I or anyone else phones them, it's echo-city. Is this a Rom issue? I don't know if the phone had this problem with the stock rom because at the time I was on the wrong end of the conversation to hear the echo.

Any suggestions? There are complaints about the echo on the LG forums but thus far LG has not responded.

Interchangable ROMS Optimus one & Optimus V

Hi all,

I have 2 questions, I have a friend switching phones, he currently has an Optimus One rooted & CM7 ROM.

He wants to move everything over to anther phone he has Optimus V.

He asked if he could just create a backup iage & restore it on the other phone (after rooting).

I would say it would not work (I assume at least different Kernel for different hardware) .

My other questions is : are the ROMs for both phones interchangable (the title of the forum include both phones)

Full Size Album Art of Lock Screen

I've been running the CM9 prerelease from May 3 on my T Mobile US LG Optimus T p509 for a several weeks now and love it. I've seen on other xda boards that it is possible to make a mod for full size album art on the ICS lock screen (by evilisto) but I seem to be inept at trying to figure out exactly how to use apktool in order to do this on my own. Can anyone please make this for the p500. Evilisto gives the directions on how to make this happen for the Nexus S, but I just don't really know what I'm doing. Thanks. His posts on this are at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26426577 and he provides the details in a post towards the bottom on removing the mask from the art and applying it to just the text area.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
home + vol down + power

That should get you into recovery.

Download any custom ROM from XDA (CM7, Oxygen, Moto Razr etc..)

or if you had made a nandroid backup then restore it.

For custom flash, after in recovery

1) wipe data, cache, dalvik (in advanced)

2) install to zip card > install > find the custom rom > flash

3) reboot

4) It should work but all data will be lost..!!

For nandroid, after in recovery

1) backup & restore

2) restore

3) scroll to the folder where your backup is present.

4) This will restore the original ROm with data as was at the time of backup.

BTW, in case you do not know, in recovery, vol up & down move cursor up & down.

menu key is enter, back works as back only.. :)

Hope this helps.

Lost IMEI implies baseband mismatch with the ROM

I lost IMEI after flashing Gamer Talho Rom. Dialing *#06# pops a window with IMEI with no number. And, of course no phone service.

Before the flash, I had stock room (rooted, Android 2.2.2 build FRG835 LG-P509-V10s).

After reading several threads, I decided to flash on old ROM by andy252. This brought the IMEI back! Device became P500, but everything worked.

To check if GTR was the cause, I dared to reflash it, and ofcourse IMEI was gone again and Andy252's gb rom brought it back.

I wanted to backup /efs, but in neither roms it shows up.

Is there a fix for this problem? Many thanks.

Update:

I discovered that the missing IMEI happens because that ROM needed the v20g baseband. I have now flashed, using LGMDP, the new basband as guided in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149530. I then flashed the ICS nightly build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670577. Now, my phone is displaying the proper IMEI and is working fine.
