Wanted to put in a good word for Waze as well. Thanks for that recommendation. Very happy with the app overall and have quite a few other users in the area which helps with generating actionable information.

I did notice tonight while driving home that when a text message notification came in (with a popup), that stayed in the foreground and the screen locked vs. staying in the Waze environment. Probably no workaround except to disable popup notifications for new text messages.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Don't thank me, thank all of the users who have made this thread what it is now :) but I'm also looking specifically at vj_dustin (he was the one that brought Waze to my attention)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
A few things..

1) In front of Waze you might also add (Battery sucker :D)

I used it just recently on a nightly and it sucked up 50% battery in 1hr.

2) And speaking of nightlies just wanted others to know that nightlies though are considered unstable and buggy, right now on the new baseband, along with Popdog's oxygen nightlies are the stablest n bugfree roms..

Only 1 kernel bug is there that if u remove the phone from ur head after a call and ur frnd hangs up at d same moment, ur phone might hang n you'll have to remove d battery n put it in again.. :/

EDIT:

Lol thnx sweetsour, remarkable memory u got there.. :p

Hey buds, how y'all doin'?

It's been a while since i've been on. I've been quite satisfied with the AOSP mod I flashed a year or so ago, but now i see it's quite dead. Anyone have any tips or recommendations for a new ROM? I hear good things about Nightlies on the new baseband (no idea if I'm on it or not). I believe I used ROM tools to flash. Anyone willing to help out?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] leo10messi:
Franco's kernel is a must....:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cleefesq:
Better/ more stable than nightles?

Also, what does this new baseband I hear about do to our phones?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] serafin88:
New baseband was included with the Official Gingerbread release for the Optimus One. Since we Optimus T owners never received a Gingerbread update we are bound to roms that use the old baseband (included with Froyo 2.2 - 2.2.2)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wmtanada:
If you want stability, while waiting for the nightlies to become stable, you could try mik_os's CM7.1(6.5.8) but with the new baseband fix! Or, stay with the stock 2.3.3 ROM, get it rooted, replace kernel with kernel_2.6.35.14_v6-touch3 to overclock! :)

Bluetooth HID is present in the CM7.1(6.5.8) :D

CM7.1(6.5.8) and Stock ROM have NDIS (USB Tethering) :)

Hi,

I have 3 units of P500(kids & wife) which I have rooted and using Matts Cynogen ROM. I think I should still be on the old baseband and I am thinking of going for the official Cynogen Nightlies. The problem is the official nightlies in on new baseband, so can you gurus out there show me :

1) what is the latest new baseband I should be going for to work with Cynogen Nightlies?

2) where can I go get that baseband? I saw the thread above from doktornotor but I am lost in which version I should be going after. Any advice.

3) I read somewhere I need to also get the latest CWR? Is that true? Any link to where I can get that too?

Thanks in advance, sorry have not been following the development after flashing my phones with Matt's ROM(very stable and reliable) but I think it's high time for an upgrade, so here I am again trying to figure out where I left off but it's getting really confusing, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
You would need the new baseband, which you can get from here (instructions included):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149530

You don't need the latest CWM recovery. If you use ROM Manager, it is recommended to update to the latest recovery (the reason having to do something with being able to flash the nightlies that are available daily). If you have never heard of ROM Manager, just stick with your current recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vincentshjuan:
Thanks sweetnsour for the reply....

I have read the doktornotor thread, one last question, the v10E are actually meant for phones from the old baseband(earlier batch) and the v20g are for newer batch right? The reason I am asking is when I started rooting and flashing Matts Cynogen, there were no talks about baseband, just the type I have, so was pretty straight forward, but now as I am trying to reflash/upgrade again, there is this talk about newer baseband and I am assuming the newer batch of P500 is on the new baseband.

So, with this v10E RUU, I will be able to upgrade my old baseband to the new one before flashing Cynogen7 nightlies?

BTW, did Matt release any newer ROMs as I am not able find his thread anymore...

Many thanks again.....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I think the baseband pretty much depends on what firmware you are using. If you came from official gingerbread (2.3.x), you have the new baseband. If you came from pretty much anything else (such as froyo, which is 2.2.x), you have the old baseband. There is no new batch or old batch involved. Just the firmware that you came from. And seeing that you had used matt's cyanogenmod, I'm assuming you have the old baseband.

To flash your phone to the new baseband, use the v20g file. To flash back to the old baseband, use the v10 file. (In your case, you would need to flash the v20g, not v10e, to get to the new baseband).

Yes, you can either flash the new baseband before you flash the rom, or you can flash the rom before you flash the new baseband.

I am not aware of any other roms by matt.

Hope this helps :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vincentshjuan:
Thanks so much for clearing that up, otherwise I would have flashed the v10 file.....ok....now for some backups and downloading....many thanks again!

How do make the media scanner NOT scan a certain folder(s)?

Because, all the audio files (about 400-600) from my 'Game SD Data' turn up in the music player and suck up all the space.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
When listening to music, rename android and data folders in sd to .android and .data this will make them no media and ignored, if they still are in music player, then reboot, and you have to rename back when gaming;)

I was born in the '90's... 1290's >:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
This is quiet easy; just create an empty file named ".nomedia" and place it inside the folder of your choice (which you don't want to be included in media scanner)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Yes but the games will not find the data...

I was born in the '90's... 1290's >:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
I guess, it will.

.nonmedia resists the scan of native media scanner.

Please correct me if i am wrong :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Any folder with "." In front is ignored;) this is how I store some things;) and makes the folders hidden, some file viewers can't see them...

I was born in the '90's... 1290's >:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] logo_32:
Yup i confirm...!!

Its a basic feature of the UNIX file structure where the dot prefix applies to the HIDDEN attribute thus generally the folder is not viewed by the app unless it has the feature of detecting hidden files...!!

Added two categories:

0. things to keep in mind as you are exploring this forum

6. security

I made a category "0" because I deemed it too important for it to be "1" (actually I was just too lazy to renumber everything, but making it as "0" really does stress the importance of the category though right? :p). Is there anything else I should add to it as I am sure I missed a couple of things.

For the security category, I added a link to a thread which is pretty self-explanatory :)

I don't think it will be that helpful if you are on CM9 and you have root access for ADB disabled :p

I also updated the following categories:

13. launchers

I'm thinking about doing the following:

Removing the category on recoveries because they all pretty much do the same thing.

Adding a category on audio/sound for things such as beats audio (I would add it but I'm not sure if it works or if it is just a placebo).

Any feedback? :)

Both these methods worked, however the '.nomedia' method only hid the folder to the media scanner and the SD Data remained accessible to the game.

The method suggested by vlt96 prevented the game from accessing the SD Data. However, that method is good for hiding stuff :P

you guys that have worked on clearing bloat from stock ROM : how much free space is possible, while still having stability and all the essential functions? I have been able to free up 69mb ROM, and 265MB RAM. Handset is very "quiet" with cpu loafing - this is with 2.2.2something.

Some tips for overclocking and energy savings:

- The maximum stable frequency of 787 MHz processor, with the profile 320/787 MHz and the governor is "interactive" is perfect for gaming.:cool:

- For normal use, the frequency of 729 MHz processor, with the profile 320/729 MHz and the governor is "Smartass" is perfect for everyday use:)

- For saving CPU frequency of 600 MHz, with a profile of 245/600 MHz and the governor is "Conservative"
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
1. OC limits depend on phone/kernel/ROM

2. Smartass makes UI choppy, interactive is better

3. For saving CPU, a max of 480 is also good for very light usage, as Android is designed to work @512MHz with bloat and stuff (G1). If you make sure you don't use heavy CPU hogs, you forget you have 480 (I personally did, on CM9, because UI is smooth even at 122/122)

Seek the signature below the line;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] otrazhenye:
1. I tried this on many firmware, the CPU frequency 787 MHz maximum stable. I have met people who have a critical 729 MHz, and have seen people who normally works 844 MHz. Although the firmware and kernels were one and same. The case mainly on the phone.

2. I do not agree, Smartass better. Smartass - regime based on Interactive. Has a more rapid decline in the prime rate, as well as the frequency decreases to a minimum when the screen is off.

3. 480 MHz is possible. But 122MGts ever. This is nonsense. At this frequency the phone is not suitable for use zhudkie brakes, the phone may not get out of hibernation.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
2. Smartass goes to minimum frequency even when scrolling, and that sucks a lot... if you want battery consumption to be lower make sure you have no bloat, that keeps your CPU awake, if not, CPU sleeps (doesn't matter the CPU)

3. 122 is possible on ICS, for very very light tasks, but everything is slow, however it is still smoother than GB, because UI is GPU rendered;)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
This thread should come with a disclaimer that not all tweaks work equally on all roms/kernels and may in fact make things worse depending on rom/kernel combo.

I view build.prop and init.d scripts as experts only. Sure it's easy to copy and paste them into any rom but it takes a lot of knowledge to determine whether it's necessary.

For example, look at all the roms posted by relative noobs. They include v6, loopyblahblah and a random selection of knzos tweaks and scripts. Now take a look at the most recent rom posted by knowledgeable developer doktornotor (RIP we miss you!!) he didn't include a lot. Why, because CM7 is already extremely optimized and francos kernel is insanely optimized specifically for the 01. All the battery drain, FCs and general instability are often linked to an unneeded tweak or Pokemon theme that UOT butchered. More often than not, less is more.

If you're running a rom based on stock LG and an earlier or less modified kernel then some of the build.prop and vm tcp and other tweaks can benefit you IF you know what you're doing.

My current setup:

Rom - stripped down version of mik_os CM7 6.5.7 @ 480/768 SmartassV2

kernel - ZackS Venice 3.4 (fork of francos kernel including fserve and Paulos tweaks)

build.prop tweak

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120

init.d scripts - added remount and zipalign. Removed "05mountsd" since I don't have an ext partition and I removed zram.

I also added knzos gps tweaks and lowered wifi txpower to 18. I've included the patched libsqlite.so and soundfx libs

Tweaks I'm testing - microSD card speed tweak (I'm still playing with the value). I have a class 6 card and I think this is a keeper. If however I was using the included class 2 card I don't think I'd use this tweak or at least not the suggested 2048 value.

This setup has no bugs (other than those on miks known list) it's fast, smooth, stable and battery life is good. If this setup is not enough, consider buying a faster phone or getting your head checked :rolleyes:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
Actually, auto-zipaligner is kind of useless as well.

System applications are already zipaligned by default (be it on CM or cooked ROM) and they won't get "unzipaligned". As for /data applications since they're usually downloaded from market, they are zipaligned as well (market does it).

CyanogenMOD doesn't have tweaks for one simple reason: they aim for stability, not performance. Same goes for LG stock ROMs. They include values that have been already tested and known to work.

So, the fact it doesn't have more tweaks doesn't mean it's because they **** it up, no. It's because it's not tuned for performance.

Now, this doesn't mean that we should hack the **** out of ROMs, change the VM values, the oom task killing process, the minfree and what not. It means that we must have the patience to test them properly and reach a conclusion.

Some tips: If you can, use GSM(2g) or WCDMA(3G) only when needed. it's because they dont poll so much like GSM Auto(PRL), so better battery(sometimes) and performance.

As our device have only a 600Mhz, using Performance governor is also as it doesn't poll for load etc , thus increasing performance and maintaining battery life.

Well i don't think it's accurate, but they work for me;)

are you talking about using 2g when you dont need 3g? if so, thats already in one of the battery links. but i really appreciate your contributions :D
