Can I replace new image into old flash zip recovery?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
Possibly with some utility that will properly handle compressed files. I use xplore file manager on phone. I have used it to delete and copy files directly into flashable zips. 7zip( windows) will also do this. But it NEEDS to be a zip that was made to flash recovery.img. Other updater scripts will not work. There also may be a flash_image file in the zip.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mijatovic_86:
You are safer just to download those zips here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564767

And instal them from recovery, by installing zip from sd card.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
There is also a simple script that I use from terminal emulator on phone:

http://www.mediafire.com/?7baf5u85iah4fa0

Extract to /sdcard so the path is /sdcard/rec. Readme file included. But I really do recommend learning to use Android Flash Recovery if your phone has fastboot mode. It has saved my phone repeatedly. ;):)

Problem was that mine P500 is not capable of 800+ mhz.. WHen I set wake profile to 748 it goes much more smoothly. I can maybe experiment if it can go more.

Weekends with Benchmarking ROMs

During weekends I tried to test the performances of ROMs using Quadrant Standard benchmark, CM-11-RC6 (20140518), [MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION] ver12, and [MENTION=3765078]rhar[/MENTION]**** Omega (omni) Beta6, respectively.

Of course all roms have been installed in one and same device P500 and as far as possible, user apps were installed in all roms are the same apps and its total numbers. All roms were trimmed and use Link2SD. Launcher is native/system app of respective ROM.

Performance: (all roms)

CPU max :600MHz min: 320MHz

Governor: Smartassv2

I/O scheduler :cfq

Results: (higher score the better)

CM-11-RC6

Total numbers: apps: 113, user apps:54

Score: 532

mukulsoni's Ver12

Total numbers: apps: 115, user apps: 52

Score:540

rhar****'s Omega (OMNI) Beta6

Total numbers: apps: 114, user apps: 52

Score:440

According to the results, Ver12 has the best performances. However, in real daily tasks, I fill that apps running faster in Omega Beta6 than in the other roms. A simple example, executing RootExplorer while Link2SD also running, that file manager running without lag, difference from the other two roms. I don't know which one is right, actually.

As a reference, I got from my Ginger Bread archive in that time (30/10/2011) of testing, p500 powered by custom rom openOptimus developed by Bytecode (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1208215) surprisingly gained score 811 using Quadrant Standard benchmark :confused:

For your convenience I attached the graphic results of the test.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
A cm-oddity? one needs a version of the play services on /system. This can be an older, smaller one like that on GAPPSlight. The updated play services and play itself can (and on our devices, must) be user apps. The upgrades will be automatic.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jayc137:
It's kinda impossible to hard brick by flashing ROM through cwm IMO. In my case I (attempted) flashing stock ROM through kdz.

He should be able to boot into recovery or fastboot mode atleast.

(Emergency mode too as a last attempt, not recommended unless can't access either of the above modes)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] am486:
I freed some space up and converted Play Services into a system app. Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem, I still get the error message.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
Installed gapps? If so, you should have gmscore.apk (9.1mb) in /system/priv-app. This enables Google Play Services. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] xu3sno:
[MENTION=3683032]am486[/MENTION]

You can install gmscore in /data, too. Get the latest (mine is Google Play Services 4.4.49 (1160803-032)-160DPI ) from http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...and-play-services-for-all-device-resolutions/
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] am486:
I moved the app from /system/app to /system/priv-app still no success.

I downloaded the file, renamed it to com.google.android.gms-1.apk and put it in /data/app and it doesn't work. I tried also with /data/app-private

EDIT: Sometimes the solution is just too easy XD. I just installed the latest Playstore Service apk normally and it woks fine now.

Any help for my problems ??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Milanoss:
I had some problems with battery (1d-2d only). May be somebody has similar problem. Solution:

1/ First issue is with GPS module. Also if you have disabled it, it consumes power. Problem is that you enable and disable GPS later. Solution is to enable GPS and reboot phone. Never disable GPS anymore. Each application will enable and disable it. So you will see GPS icon in notification only if some application enabled it.

2/ Not sure if it was also the problem but I did this change with step 1 so may be it is not necessary. Use "ILWT tools" app to configure Wake and Sleep performance profiles.

Thats all. Now it is 2d-4d for me.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
I had mistakenly looked at the gapps package that is no longer necessary. You should have Prebuiltgmscore.apk in /data/app/ (14mb included with ROM). With that present, it should update automatically to latest version. I don't know why you would rename any of these apps.

Installed CM-11-RC7 from:

http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/p500/stable/cm-11.0.0-RC7-p500.zip

after downloaded using cmupdater (full size) since Cyandelta doesn't work :(

Changelog:

http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/p500/stable/cm-11.0.0-RC7-p500.txt

1. Without wipe over RC6

As usual Link2SD mount warning, need extra works to regain space in /data;

Dalvik2Cache works, not really move dexes rather copy. Need to delete system@*.dex in order to reclaim more free space in internal memory.

Reboot the system, after boot animation appeared then screen getting blank. Pull out the battery, reinsert it, reboot and problem persists :(

2. Clean Install

After the system successfully rebooted, trim the rom by deleting some system apps (browser, calculator, calendar, live wallpaper) and media files.

No need to delete local fonts, since it's not included in RC7;

Edit build.prop, to change dalvik.vm.dextopt-data-only value to 0, however, after system reboot indeed, system@*.dex moved to /cache but their remain reside in /data/dalvik-cache as mentioned previously. :confused:

Gapps not included, as usual. Simply flash GappsLIGHT and install in sequential order Google Play Services, Google Search and GNL (optional) and login to G server has no problem :)

Link2SD works out of the box, all user apps, dexes, libs linked to sdext2 :good: Apps and Data were restored using TB.

Google + 4.1.0.50809204 one from mukulsoni's ver12 works like a charm, while RC6 failed.

Surprisingly this rom get 464 scores from Quadrant Standard, lower than RC6 (532). Really don't know whether the scores reflect the real performance of respective rom :)

Issues

Portable WiFi hotspot works, however, once it turns off the system reboot itself :(.

Spirit FM (Nov16) doesn't work (in contrary it works out of the box in Omni's Omega Beta6 by rhar****

Note:

As usual, the system run fast and smooth. It's worth to try and perhaps [MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION] will develop ver13 based on this RC7 :). Thanks
