Re: [P500/V][DISCUSSION] General Tips & Tricks & Recommendations [15 DEC 2012]

I'm using jb on 3 p500 I got for my uncles kids... not best battery life but still good. Just charge one a day

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ea_:
Well I have a Nexus 7 with JB, so I'm used to it.

Point is: JB optimizations are available on the old P500? Or ICS? Iknow that some hardware accelerations may not be available.

From an other point of view: I'm kinda happy with my Cyanogen stable based on GingerBread, as all I do is calling and using some apps (dho) that are quite the same on different release of the OS.

Installing ICS/JB would give me some advantage as performance / lag / battery?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mixednuts:
Re: [P500/V][DISCUSSION] General Tips & Tricks & Recommendations [15 DEC 2012]

JB development for our device is getting damn close to being fully implemented, most notably triple buffering (project butter?). Until then, ICS has pretty much everything including HW acceleration. But, some sticklers would say our device runs best with what it was "made for", that is, GB... today, it's damn close. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ea_:
@mixednuts: thanks a lot for the honest analysis.

I think it's amazing how our little device is still defending itself in this crazy-fast obsolescence market, thanks to interest of developers and availability of source code.

Sturdiness helps to of course, my LP500 has survived abuses of any kind. Only shame is the sub-par audio quality IMHO.

I have to agree. Dropped it from shoulder height once i.e. 4" and not a scratch. Sturdiest phone I have used. Even those plasticky Sammy ones get scratches on them. I usually protect my phones with cases, but not this one.

i use gingerSnap v2.3 ROM and OC from it`s settings to 480-825 with Smartass V2 and i actually find it more convenient in battery life / performance than lower clock speeds :silly:

another tip (maybe only for this ROM) don`t use ap2SD or link2SD. It works but i get many Force Closes. Use instead native move app2SD it does the job perfectly for me, (i dont`t install a lot of rubbish)

to make the battery last longer i suggest you to charge the phone via usb from computer or from a lower output mAmps wall charger. i get 2 days of use this way, normal charging with original charger juice it to 1-1,5 days

Application Combo Tips..

install swipepad and folder organizer.. den manage your folder organizer and put it in swipepad..

that's the best application combo ever ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] p0werb1t:
On a LG O1/P500 (and others, I think, that use the same msm7x27 CPU), frequencies under or equal to 480 MHz use same voltage and frequencies of 600 or more uses the same higher voltage. So, to save power is equal to set min freq to 245 or 480 Mhz (the last one has better responsiveness).

thanks for the suggestion. however i think these apps are unnecessary.

if i have read correctly, folder organizer allows you to organize your apps, bookmarks, contacts, and shortcuts. the home screen already allows you to organize apps into folders and make shortcuts. the bookmarks are meant to be in the browser and the built-in contacts app is meant for your contacts.

for swipepad, you can easily press the home button and access your app drawer for quick access to other apps.

i think apps like these are unnecessary unless they have a special use (troubleshooting, a true file manager, etc) but once again thanks for the suggestion :p

i remember reading this before but i forgot. thanks for bringing this up

yes you can just press ur home button to access your apps' but the REAL USE of SWIPEPAD is when you are not on your homescreen..

i am on xda forums reading something and suddenly i saw a gorgeous girl and i want to load up my camera to take a picture of her' so what you can do is access ur swipepad and access or use ur camera W/OUT LEAVING THE XDA PAGE..

did u get what i mean'?

SWIPEPAD is USE for MULTI-TASKING ~

@sweetnsour You must edit this topic, since according to the kernel topic of fserve (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227682) the version "gbs.v15" will be discontinued because franciscofranco applied most the improvements in battery in the latest version of your kernel (v19.4). fserve now focuses on developing a completely kernel based on the stock kernel lg.

Goldenleaf.v110914 (The link is the same as just putting)

And I recommend that you put the kernels could be classified in better performance (franciscofranco kernels) and better battery (fserve kernels)

have you tried it'?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
@ sweetnsour - First off congrats on the sticky. It looks like you've put a lot of work into it since I last stopped by.

I've got another disclaimer for you. Something like new users are recommended to stay away from roms with powerful/questionable scripts like loopy and v6. If a new user switches launchers or removes v6 apps things can go sideways and they may not know what to do.

On the other hand most new user ignore the stickies and spam the dev threads so what do I know. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
ok it will be removed :D

i tried it but when it came to assigning each of the slots i got a little lazy so i uninstalled it :p

thanks :D

regarding your disclaimer, it will be added. just curious, do you know why things can go wrong and exactly what happens when things go wrong? i know for a fact that there is an option in the v6 supercharger that makes your launcher hard to kill but i dont understand how switching launchers can mess things up. and what do you mean by v6 apps? are you talking about the script manager? how would uninstalling it affect anything other than the user not being able to run the script? im not trying to be critical or anything...just plain curiosity (and detailed enough response can also be added to the disclaimer for those who are as curious as me :p)

and i edited the disclaimer a little. it now reads as "new users are recommended to stay away from powerful/questionable scripts like loopy and v6. If a new user switches launchers or removes v6 apps things can go sideways and they may not know what to do." (i took out the "roms with" in the first sentence to make it a little more clear). if you want me to put the original quote, i'll be happy to do so
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
To be honest it's been a while since I've played with them. I do know that knzo said loopy is "full of fireworks" and said it doesn't work as a script and needs to run as a Service and even then it's no good. In this case I wouldn't recommend it at all. Never

V6 - Arrgghh I can't recall how I made it bug out but someone currently running it might know more about the pitfalls.

As for the quote, if you remove loopy from your suggested list then something like "V6 is a powerful script aimed at Power Users. If you're unfamiliar with script editing/writing please proceed with caution."

Followed by a statement condemning the loopy script.

I think it's a bit like Pandora's box recommending tweaks and scripts via a sticky, but I'm conservative so, maybe a disclaimer isn't needed.

A battery tip : for our devices, overclocking is actually more benficial to our battery as it speeds up certain tasks. Our 600mhz is generally not enough. Try starting. With 652mhz first, if u are scared of your phone getting too heated up.

I haven't had this phone for too long, but heat doesn't seem to be a concern. When running the StabilityTest app with a 748 MHz overclock, my phone never reported a temp above 29 C (84 F). For comparison, people in the Samsung Galaxy S II forum have reported the temperature reaching 50 C (122 F) while running that app. The only time that I've really noticed my Optimus T getting a bit warm to the touch is when GPS is in use, and I'm sure the phone can handle it.

First of all THANKS a lot for this superb discussion thread.. :)

Would love to contribute if i FIND something new.. :D

Here's my question: Dax had mentioned about the CyanogenMod update version 6.5.8..!! in his ConygenMod thread.... Would it be available for the newbaseband..?? Or mik is still going to stick to the old baseband..??!!

And has any developer tried fixing the data services issue with baseband downgrade..??!!

I took the courage of testing the official GB and have pretty much reviewd each and every aspect of it..!! Its pros and cons.. :) Now i guess ill revert to the old basebad for sometime to test the SOnygenMod and other CM based superb mods... also Andy's stable release is around the corner..!!!

Links would be much appreciated..!! :)

Thanks again to sweetnsour for this wonderful thread..!! :)

Its a noob's paradise..!! ;)

But after reading miks post.. :) Im very positive about the good news.. :)

:D

P.s.: This is actually the place where people should ask all sorts of questions..!! Not the developer threads..!! It pisses them off...!! Questions like which baseband it supports or which kernel to use can be answered by US too (they wouldnt arise in the first place if the users READ the first post carefully.. :P) But the devs might get worked up a lil bit...!!

Anyways... SOrry for going off-topic.. :)

THanks Mechanical Man..!! :D

Waiting for the next CM mega release..!!

Downgrade from NEW to OLD baseband with working GSM and Data..!!

I DID IT..!!

Flashed the new baseband the russian way to test the official GB **** by LG..!! And somehow apart from the good battery life (not soo good though) it was a complete disaster..!! I had read that there is a fix for downgrading but data wouldnt work..!!

Well.... news flash..!! IT WORKS..!!

here's what you need to do in case you are sick of the official update and you want the good old baseband and the good old rums back up and running with working GSM and DATA..!!

Go to the Doctonotor's thread for flashing basebands...download the baseband file for v10e....FOllow the procedure as mentioned there using LGMDP..!! EDIT: Once youre done with LGMDP, get into recovery and flash any froyo based rom or custom GB rom..!! IT WILL START WORKING..!! :D

EDIT: Else, use KDZ updator to update the software to official v10e...!! Once done... Use Gingerbreak to root your device... then download Rom manager and flash CWM recovery...!!

Reboot into recovery... make a backup.... flash the CM.... reboot...!! And thank the lord for wonderful devs like mik, and also doctornotor..!! :D

P.s.: (You can find all the links in xda itself.. try checking out ciaox's sticky thread in the dev section..!!)

I noticed that when JD is active, I have some problems with Bluetooth, but it's probably normal, because JD is disabling such features as Bluetooth, WiFi etc.

I am VERY suprised. Why? I though that I have all "battery draining" features off (WiFi/screen/useless apps etc.), but JD is doing some mysterous operations and now my phone saves power and have good performance.

I readed in one of threads that there's no need using minimal CPU frequency under 320MHz (or 480, don't remeber) because it won't save power (clocks are same or something like that).

What are the CPU clocks of our P500 CPU?
