Yes, ROM Manager doesn't support our phone. But Here is how to install 2.1 with fastboot & flash recovery manually.

Download this:

http://www.mediafire.com/?imautlh0m29cl2t

This has a fastboot ROM that enables fastboot + recovery so we can flash custom roms.

How to install (Guide from MrMentality @ MoDaCo):

1. Go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.

2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).

3. If you have your Drivers installed, then skip this: Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.

4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*

(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'

(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.

5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.

6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete. When phone has rebooted, re-root your phone.

Installing recovery:

You have multiple choices to choose from.

ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.8 (Recommended)

ClockworkMod Recovery 4.x (Recommended but you may run into incompatible .zip files, download the recovery_clockwork_x.x.x.x_swift.zip file)

Amon RA 2.2.1 (Recommended))

Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (Not recommended due to incompatibility with zip files and recovery backups. Also .zips must be signed)

Download the recovery image of your choice (I strongly recommend 2.5.1.8)

Next put your phone in Fastboot mode by rebooting then holding Camera+Power, make sure USB Cable is plugged in. Also let Windows search Windows Update for drivers.

Download fastboot.exe from here: http://adf.ly/2M8Hi and extract it to the desktop. Also put the recovery image you downloaded onto the desktop too.

Open a command prompt and type the following:

cd Desktop
fastboot devices (if you see ? fastboot then your device is recognized)
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot reboot

When fastboot says rebooting, hold down HOME and wait. You should see clockwork pop up. Recovery is now on your phone.

Hope it helps
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
Thank you, this is everything i need to know!

I guess I can you use fastboot.exe from the SDK too.

EDIT: what if i already have 2.1, should i still update too 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz'? Or will i already have fastboot than?

When i have clockwork i can just flash roms from the clockwork recovery right?
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Sure, I just pulled that from my SDK just incase you didnt have it. Also, yes, you have to flash that to activate fastboot, you only have to flash this once. Then you flash clockwork and install roms using that.
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
Ok thanks for your help.

What ROM would you advice me? (im looking for a stable rom with a kernel that can be overclocked, just a fast rom..), ive looked in to swiftdroid and cm 6 utopia but can't really decide. Maybe you have a suggestion?
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
CM6 as it runs much, much faster than gingerbread (CM7 SwiftDroid)

But CM7 is alot more, nice-looking lol
[GT540 Optimus General] Man_u:
Easier to flash the recovery:

_Install Terminal Emulator from the market

_Copy your recovery on your SD card

_Writte From the terminal:

_su

_flash_image recovery / sdcard / name_of_your_recovery.img

It's that easy and its no fastboot

Plus simple pour flasher le recovery :

_Installe Terminal Emulator depuis le market

_Copie ton recovery sur ta carte SD

_Ecrit depuis le terminal :

_su

_flash_image recovery /sdcard/name_of_your_recovery.img

C'est aussi simple que sa et Pas besoin de fastboot
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
Sorry, that doesn't work. Fastboot rom needs to create the 'misc' partition for recovery can be used.
[GT540 Optimus General] Man_u:
Oh sorry, as much for me

go to bed less stupid :)

For the ROM I advise you Swiftdroid or Froyo Optimum (fast and amazing life of the battery)

Oh désolé ,autant pour moi

me coucherai moins bete :)

Pour la ROM je te conseille Swiftdroid ou bien Froyo Optimum (rapide et incroyable durée de vie de la batterie)
[GT540 Optimus General] scribbclubber:
You can also try eyecandy edition of CM7 by eoghan. Fast, stable when overlocked to 806mhz. Battery last long enough after calibration. There's also a complete index of ROM pinpointed if needed.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
2.1 good battery life

stable

2.2 good battery life

stable

fast

2.3 fast

good looking themes

well its your choice
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
I think ill go with 2.2 utopia + supercharge V6 and OC it to 806mhz.

To use apps2sd, i need to manually create an ext4 partition on my SD right?

Does Swap also use ext4?

Ill propably create 512mb ext4 for apps2sd and 512mb ext4 for swap and then 3gb for fat32 storage. Do i need a specific app to utilize the swap space (swapper2) ?
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
dont use app2sd use the method in the link below

for swap just go to recovery advanced>partition sdcard ***mb swap size ***mb and done.

swap will enable by itself on startup if you use the recovery method

BACKUP ALL SDCARD STUFF TO COMPUTER AS PARTITIONING SDCARD WILL ERASE ALL DATA

http://mygt540.com/tuts/easily-resize-system-data-partitions-for-more-space-installing-apps/
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
I got the phone :) and flashed 2.2 utopia.

Two little problems:

- In clockwork I partitioned my sd card and it asked me to set 2 sizes: 1 ext and 1 swap. What is the ext for and how do i check if swap is working?

- I dont get how to install the v6 supercharger, ive tried but it wouldnt work. I needed to set a value for scrolling speed between 1 and 3 but in the turorial it says press the 6 key??..
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
simple, but first of sorry for late reply.

swap

set both at the same size lets say 256mb??

v6 supercharge

first press 1,2 or 3 i use 1. then press enter

after a lot of stuff popup press 6 then press enter

when done reboot ur phone.

if you want to check if swap is activated then get terminal emulator and type "free"

DO NOT PRESS WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET IN RECOVERY AS IT WILL FORMAT YOUR SWAP AND SWAP WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE AND SO YOU HAVE A USELESS EXT3 PARTITION

btw did you use the method to increase your data size ??
[GT540 Optimus General] thomas1991_12:
thanks! I havent tried your method to increase the data size yet because I was just figuring out what rom i should keep and i think ill stick with pcfigthers rom. So i will repartion my sdcard, install setcpu + supercharge, make a nandroid backup and then ill set system to 150 and data to 234 (if that works with pcfighters rom?) and restore my backup. And if is all is right everything should be working fine then :)

I dont have root... :S z4root + gingerbreak are not working

EDIT: Got root working :) first i fixed permissions in clockwork then i rooted with superoneclick

hmm. I just found out that Swap = 0 with terminal emulator 'free'.. I partitioned it as 256mb in clockwork recovery..
[HTC Sensation] Jambone:
Ok, so it has been acknowledged that the 2nd mic, which provides stereo audio, is highly susceptible to wind noise, and also the gain is too high. In windy conditions, does reverting to mono audio when recording, reduce wind noise significantly, also how good is the quality of the mono recording?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber.bee:
I want a quickly accessible switch to turn on/off bluetooth and wifi... why has that not been addressed with Mango? MS always claims that WP7 has been designed to access features with less effort (clicks) but turning on bluetooth or wifi (which is a daily accessed feature for me and I assume for a lot of other people as well) still needs at least 3 clicks. That could be reduced to maybe 1 if there would be a tile for the switches...

Hope someone addresses this "problem" soon... :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nizzon:
Yes they have to add some sort of quicktoggles down the line..

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber.bee:
Nice discussion in your linked post! I like the toggles on the right hovering over the tiles when swiping to the right or with a little button underneath the -> (right arrow on the right) :)

Also the idea to have them on the app-list screen is a good one...

This has to be addressed. We need a petition and send it to MS! :P

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
The Wifi toggle should be in the topbar directly.

I can't believe that it is currently so complicated to turn on/off Wifi...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avatar28:
I know. That's kept me from setting up my work's wifi network on there. It's not worth the effort to turn it off when I need to get somewhere blocked by our filter.

I would also rather like to see the ability to choose specific BT profiles. I have a car stereo that supports Bluetooth. While the A2DP is useful, the handsfree on it pretty much sucks. Problem is that every call I make or receive ends up jumping over to the hands free and I have to go back in and turn off the headset.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norgan:
Just leave WiFi on, I never turn it off. I used WiFi both at home and at work and WiFi uses less then the mobile network. I do agree a toggle would be good or at least enable pinning settings items to start and/or apps list.

[Galaxy 3 General] ron_gangte:
Can someone help me troubleshoot my battery issue??

I tried calibrating.. but it doesn't seem to work.. no matter how many cycles are done.. it still stays the same..

My battery drains out and my phone switches off within a few minutes and sometimes even in a few seconds when the Data Connection is ON.

But without Data Connection ON.. the battery seems to drain comparatively lesser and lasts for about 5 hours after very less usage..

And, I have observed that with the data connection ON, and keeping the phone on stand-by (i.e. Without using the phone and keeping screen off), the battery seems to stay at 100% for over 2 hours. :O ..and the very instant, I start using the phone, it switches off saying that the battery is low... :/

I have tried different kernels and different governors too.. didn't help.. :/

I would really appreciate it if someone helps me troubleshoot this issue.

Thank You!!

God Bless!

Most probably u need to buy a new battery.
[Galaxy 3 General] ron_gangte:
I'd suggest you read it again.. :/

If it's 'cus of my battery.. then there wouldn't be an "EXTRA" battery drain with the data ON and the battery would drain out even without the Data Connection ON..

Hope You Got Me.

Thanks For The Reply Though. :)

mani think it s d battery.. coz without data connection on , people r having over 2days battery backup.. but u r getting only 5-6hours..

look on the ratio..!! :)

i m having exactly d same prob.. would get it today.. but there is a strike here today.. so all d shops r closed.. i wil get my new battery tomorrow.. will report u tomorrow.. :))
[Galaxy 3 General] ron_gangte:
Umm.. ah.. I dunno.. I still think it is a BAD Case of Battery Mis-calibration. :/
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohanshbhr:
I have the same problem i charge the fone till 100% i.e. full charge and unplug then start data connection then it switch off within five minutes and u want to know a strange thing when i talk with a full charged battery it gives me around 6 hours of battery backup.

i m going to give my fone at service within 3 days, i think it is some kind of hardware problem because the battery giving me around 6 hours of talktime so it is not due to battery

and yes i tested old kernels formate system and flash stock rom with stock kernel but nothing helped me..:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
i hav tested al typ of old , new custom or stock rom & kernels..!! nothing clicked.. :(
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Try to charge when the phone is off to 100 %. Boot up and wait 'til you get the 'remove charger' message. Now calibrate your battery and unplug. Hope it works!

[Galaxy 3 General] Mr.Sanju:
My battery lasts around 12-14 hrs.. on my UNINOR simcard..

and whn i use my AIRTEL simcard it easily pulls over a day...

and yup i always have my data connection on and fair amount of phone usage...

so i guess it's something to do with the network of carriers as it looks like our android uses hell lot of battery just to get the network signal..

and yeah Uninor signal sucks at my workplace...

so the point is for few of us it could also be a bad reception area case..

p:s: a2sd too sucks more than reasonable amount of battery, try uninstall it and get ur apps on ur phone memory and see the difference.. :)

battery drain while wifi data connection is ON

9.trd different old custom roms..

10.trd diffrent old stock roms..

NOTHING RESPONSE POSITIVELY .... !!! :'(
[Galaxy 3 General] ahsanaimad:
Hey download an app battery life preloaded on kyrillos rom check what it states about vattery health if it says poor go buy a new one if it says good i will give you idea...
[Galaxy 3 General] ahsanaimad:
But really in my opinion its a battery DEFECT for sure. While data connection is on cell radio is used more transmitting data eating more power so your phone drains more quickly.

I think try a new battery. Or simply go to Service Centre to have a checkup.

But really this should be battery defect. How old is your battery? Did you bump charged?

See when I used Data Connctn my phone lasted 12 to 13 hours on continue use of FB, Nimbuzz, Gtalk, Youtube, maps, gmail auto sync. when I switched off gtalk maps etc I got 16 hours apprx and when no data connection was there at all I still remember I got 4.5 days battery life. From this it is clear Data connctn uses a lot of battery and so does the Internet Related media and Services.

My IDEA-

I suggest you first completely discharge the battery, Discharge it completely keep on switching on after it turns off again switch on and continue that when discharged completely.charge 100% in Power Off without any cut offs. Calibrate, wipe battery stats and then again COMPLETELY DISCHARGE. Now Again charge 100% in Power Off Mode if it works then enjoy if not google for some time more, search the thread and then if nothing comes up go for a new battery.

After days of experimentation and frustration,

I, now, have a good battery backup of around 35Hours without data connection ON and average usage including around 150 Texts and 15 Minutes of call.. and a about 5 hours of doing different stuffs on the phone..

Though I'm yet to test it with data connection ON.

Here's what I did to get the fairly "good" battery backup without data connection ON.

I charged my phone to 100%. And started using it 'til it switched itself off at around 88%. Then I waited for about 10 minutes before switching it on again.. I repeated the same process 'till the battery drained to 0%...
[Galaxy 3 General] stoka5:
I had the same battery problem. So i decided to change it with my friend. I used his battery for about 15 minutes and everything was working perfectly. In other hand he was not able to use mine more than 2 minutes. So it is definitely not the problem in phone itself but in battery.

Super battery drain

Okay . Finally found the thread i was looking for.

I started having the same problem after flashing CM7 alpha 7.

Just like you i thought its a case of severe battery miscalibration.

Right now i have flashed a stock firmware and left my phone ON with data off.

This way i think it would discharge to 0% in a few days and in the process get calibrated correctly. Then i am thinking i will charge it till 100% and the unplug charger message comes. Hope this fixes the issue.

All the other threads have reached the same conclusion that the battery has finally had it because of all the flashing and what not. :D

I guess there is still hope.

I am thinking of buying a new battery anyways. Our phone will live long thanks to the dev community. CM7 should come out of alpha and ICS should get cracking soon. :cool:

In the meantime for day to day use i have bought myself a NOKIA 1280 from flipkart at Rs999 :D
