I noticed that 20130619, 20130622-NIGHTLY-p500 and 20130624-EXPERIMENTAL-p500-gerrit, have same size of 103.96MB. Therefore I assumed three of that ROM has same features and contents (sorry to shinobisoft :)) . I did flash the first two ROM and noticed no significant differences.

Is that worth to try the experimental one?

I'm now on RC6 with sweetnsour's kernel version 11 and quite satisfy to use it for my daily driver :thumbup:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
personally, I'll wait till the battery fixes are implemented. Overall the rom is great and has very less bugs. battery fixes will make it my daily driver.

sweetnsour's kernel gives you better battery life?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dabidue:
I don't think so, it's not depending on your location but on settings either and on lags while loading map. I suggest playing around with maps settings. Location here is Germany.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Changing settings doesn't work. Kernel headers, specifically, device _lge_p500/include/linux/ion.h has been altered to accommodate codeaurora caf (chocolate) kernel. The enumeration of ion heap iommu has been changed from 4 to 25. Built into rom.

@ Developer team: CM10.1.-20130624-EXPERIMENTAL-p500-gerrit-5473-1

- issue: forced close on android.phone.apk when no sim inserted, else terrible laggy like slow-motion or work as with 245Mhz :-|

although proc is on 748Mhz and proc load long time on 100% :eek: :crying:

- does not connect to bluetooth phone earpiece

- one auto-reboot, not initiated by me

...continue testing a while...

After a manual reboot, now much smoother, not fast, but astonished about 16.7MB of free ram! :D And all without deleting any of my apps. ^___^

Now trying to fix the bluetooth issue and obeying camera quality if it is worse than before
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] arun_7:
i hope that Camera light issue and color issue may fix.

Camera have pooer quality( light sensor issue) and color difference. Hope our great developers fix this issue. exclude camera issue this ROM (4.2.2) is a daily driver as like stock ROM :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
Okay cool, so I just need to take a backup and flash it through recovery. I tried to flash some kernel before but it said 'unsuccessful".
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dabidue:
New Rom EXPERIMENTAL out

Now with changelog, added by hephappy :)

http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/submission-test/136/

Happy testing :good: :laugh:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Yep, take a backup first. Please, do not forget to wipe cache, dalvik cache and battery stats after flashing the kernel :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
It's old problem. With airplane mode no lags.

Also, with reverted battery fix Wi-Fi wakelock still persist.

To people with the maps problem: I don't understand what exactly going wrong, but maybe you need to allow Google gathering your location?

It influence on apps maked by Google such Google Maps.

Options located in "Google settings" at launcher.

Stable cm release is uploaded trying it out
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rr0yy:
Yes.. I had tried Gmap v6 and v5 few months back but still i faced the white patch problem.

I never had this issue with ICS. May be some font encoding compatibility with JB or something.. its just a wild guess.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Here is the link

Size 113.83MB. Started by user AndroidMeda. Mini gapps true.

Is it the end of p5xx ROM cycle?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ujilraj:
Any changes from RC6?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
As stated on the server there's no changes. But as the name implies, IMHO it stable than RC6! :).

It's not hurt to try it out :good:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Just flashed CM-10.1.0-p500 (20130626)

Size: /system 175/190MB, /data 58.33/200MB. Hence, it has enough space :thumbup:. No need to trim the ROM since mini gapps is included Better to delete unnecessary files to gain more space on system partition though :)

Playstore is already the newest version of 4.1.10.

It seems quite stabe ROM as its name. Will see another features, such battery etc.

As usual, it smooth and fast UI.

Thanks to AndroidMeda and co. :thumbup:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dabidue:
Changes made:

- Add changelog for P5XX series

- NavigationBar: Custom height

Does not look like at the end of development :D :good:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
For me it is. Just came by to say that I'm not gonna develop for the P50X series anymore... It's way too slow and laggy to do anything. I can barely use my phone anymore...

It's been great of course, but it's time to move on to a new phone. Maybe the S4 or the N4, not sure yet.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jayc137:
Due to some unknown reason even my oone has every JB ROM lagging on fresh install

Its my secondary phone now :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Where is the changelog? Been mentioned twice but I fail to find it.

Guess it had to happen sooner or later. Again, if I had the bread and thought that a phone (and that it what it is, is it not?) be worth all that bread, I might go for one of the phablets or big-bricks. Interesting that I can buy a cheaper phone (like the P500) plus a top-rate tablet for less than the new Galaxies.

Newer and better is always great so ... enjoy!!

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Some find it better after second reboot.

Actually, takes a long while to get going. Launcher may "time out," etc., waiting for all the Dalvik resources (icons, etc.) to be available, etc. Irritating wait and "not responding" boxes. However, once all this has passed, the thing plays like a champ.

Sweetandsour's version 11 kernel will give back zram and swap which can make a difference as well. This version functions quite well and is good on the battery too. He is also looking forward to newer and better and expensive hardware.

Ultimately, the Dalvik mess is a big part of the problem with Android in general. Remember when it all fit on /cache (<<64meg). Baby, look at me now....

Possibly something natively compiled might ultimately return things to sensibility. Want a preview? Try the Vire launcher--takes a bit to come up but once it is there, lookie-lookie. Somebody want to port Ubuntu's CM10.1 retake? I would want to leave Dalvik in "our" version just to keep some apps around.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jayc137:
[MENTION=4708203]Dovidhalevi[/MENTION]

Yes I do agree that Vire launcher is currently one of the best launcher for low-end phones like us

But many roms like [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION]

CM10 which used to work perfectly fine with me (was my first ROM back in September) is seriously lagging

I was proposing a theory in my head that maybe it was due to phone's NAND memory getting old and even maybe my overclocking
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
The NAND should not deteriorate. The sdcard can/will. So will the battery.

It was stated on Sweetandsour's thread that overclocking is not of benefit and that the stock 600mhz gives better performance. Can anyone confirm/refute this? We have sort have gung-ho'd overclocking for a while now.

Back in September, I think that the kernels still had zram and swap. This can be part of the problem. Lags happen when having to move/kill/restart apps. The "entropy" problem is real for SOME apps (games and browsers, for example)--I have sysctl variables set to treat this. A mild memory manager that will kill residual apps when memory gets too low may also be helpful. Or set not to keep them in memory at all if socalled multitasking is not so important.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jayc137:
[MENTION=4708203]Dovidhalevi[/MENTION]

Should I try swap ?

I do know that overclocking is not beneficial in 3.x.x kernels as reported by some on that thread

But back in September when we had to overclock due to 2.6.x kernels

I have never overclocked too much though
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
[MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION]

Thanks for all of your efforts. You've done a lot for us, as well have the rest of the team. Sad to see you go, but I kind of thought so. I've learned a lot in the past year. And I'm almost building. So even though you are done with it, myself and others will carry on the work. Hope you don't mind a PM from time to time, for advice. All good things... :):beer:;)

sent from the p509 that I thought I killed again... no trouble at all :cool:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Nothing to lose by trying swap!

Need a swapon script in /etc/init.d or /data/local/userinit.d and of course a partition for it (there are apps for using a file instead). Here is what I have, change the extension on .sh or none. Go it off XDA thread. Definitely overkill, however.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
Here you are.

[MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION]

Thank you for so hard work.

In 10.1.0 26.06 (P500):

– New option to resize navbar buttons unfortunately don't fix their placing in landscape mode at any size.

– Fixed graphical glitches of keyboard in browser / some apps.

– CRT screen off effect can be disabled in Settings > Display.

– Fixed internal pie controls.

– Obliviously, Wi-Fi wakelock still there.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Junior Einstein:
Can you please tell me apps that can use a file for swap?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dabidue:
So, sadly to read that, but the little One is really not out of race against other low-end-devices. You are right in all points you mentioned, but have a look at the CM statistic, there are still over 40,000 users on P500, only for them. So, our device ist still far away from death, here and there a new battery and life goes on, a little slower maybe than others but tuned to 748Mhz and pretty scheduled it is still okay for daily usage. :D

So far if you do not develope further on the latest nightlies bringing them to rc or finally release we would hope that you still will have an eye on the ongoing? :good:

Maybe Android 5 - for middle and low end devices - will bring things easier to do... let's see.

Thank you so far for your great engagement bringing life back to our little One :highfive: :beer:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Search for them on Play. There are several. They are quite old so I cannot vouch for them on newer ROMs. Still need a kernel with swap compiled-in, i.e. Sweetnsour's 11.

Will i miss anything other than the smoothness of stock kernel, if i switch to SnS v11? (such as BT, Wifi hotspot etc.)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Nope. Better try it out yourself. You may revert to stock anytime if you're not satisfy, as long as you make nandroid backup prior to flash sns kernel v11.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sweetnsour:
Making and restoring a backup takes a long time. An easier method would be to just reflash the rom :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ajaihs:
I dont think Androidmeda aka hephappy is gonna quit support fr our optimus..So i hope hes waitng fr the nxt android version to Rock again...yeh,in his silent style...people,we will see amazing things frm him again,...

Ofcourse.. lots of Thnx to Rashed..:thumbup:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
But to restore apps after reflashed even take more longer time, at least from my personal experiences :)

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rush2ashu:

Hey Rashed97,

We will surely miss you. I was hoping that you will fix all before leaving... the last one which we all were expecting was the A2DP BT to work.

That is fine.. Please come back and update your review on s4 or n4 which ever you finally decided to buy.

it was exciting one year for me with this thread.. and the P500 development and testing...

The first ROM which I flashed was yours... cm10.

All the best for your further engagements.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] -DarkKnight-:
Impossible to develop working port as of right now.... All of the drivers in the leaked version were specifically compiled for the GS4 .... Better wait until it comes out on AOSP then start cracking.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
That size IS different :)

I'll try it if convinced there is really something new and worthwhile.

Meanwhile --

Maybe this is a fluke (but it did occur twice under similar circumstances!) or a (possibly major) bug:

Phone in unstable state after toggling airport mode.

What I did: Having gone to a film, turned on airport mode. After leaving the cinema, turned off airport mode (both from the pulldown).

What happened:

FIrst time, several apps seemed to start spontaneously, phone froze up and rebooted. This reboot got stuck in the bootloader -- this is another bug that occurs often enough. Related? Phone OK on charge and after normal reboot.

Second time, also, several apps seemed to start spontaneouly, but phone remained operational. Turned it off when I got home, plugged in to recharge. This got stuck in the bootloader! On second try, charging animation took a long time to come up. After chargiing and normal reboot, phone was fine.

Neither time was the battery low; I charge routinely each night.

Apps started seemed unrelated.

Film started before and ended after midnight (could indeed be relevant?).

I am running the June 19 nightly, Sweetnsour version 11 kernel on second occurance.

Anyone else encountered or heard of such a thing?

Don't notice any difference so far. Same kernel. Only commits I could find were for camera parameters, trebuchet, and settings, mostly for languages. Camera and camcorder work normally.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
New a version of the gallery from the 4.3.

Camera: Lo and behold, comes up with sensible brightness level.

Gallery: The editor is probably Armv7 so FC's nicely (or maybe missing some jni's with same problem). Everything else works.

The ROM's gallery3d editor sometimes dies, sometimes works, but as I previusly posted, there is something wrong with first effects, group, as if wrong pixel density. The new apk is much larger, too large to attach so need to get it from Android Police or such.

Pushing to /data/app/ will install it alongside our gallery3d. Too bad one cannot make the old one use the new camera, also from the lockscreen. For editor, a choice will be offered.

If anybody wants to play with it, no ill-effects. Maybe someone could lay the newer camera part into the old gallery3d apk.

I think with such efforts, AndroidMeda aka Hephappy try to keep alive our obsolete p500 device and push it until its limit.

Referring to DarkNight post, hopefully when AOSP 4.3 was released officially, Hephappy would like to develop custom Rom for p500 :)

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
let us try to be happy with what we have, running 4.2.2 on lg optimus one should be enough for us. yes I do look forward to the development, no hard feelings, but I think we should first concentrate and be grateful to the developers for their hardwork. end OT.

I was wondering, why hephappy chose a performance module over battery saving module, maybe he had tried it earlier but couldn't get the desired results, thats why battery fixes and bcm4329 were reverted. if anyone has tried the latest build, do give a review.
