[Fascinate General] ccrows:
I've read that Froyo has slowed the phone down and also made GPS worse?

My experience with Froyo so far:

HTC Desire - Phone speed seemed the same and battery improved.

Bell Vibrant - Phone seemed slower, GPS still broken, and battery slightly worse.

^ (then the phone died within the week with the infamous internal memory Bell bug of death) :(

My Fascinate is still in transit but would you guys say that things are better, same, or worse with Froyo over Eclair on the Telus Fascinate? :confused:

*Edit* Also one more thing what are you guys using for Root since I really want to get the update and then the root hammered out on Day 1?... TIA! :)
[Fascinate General] ccrows:
^ Anyone... :confused:
[Fascinate General] skotua:
I've had no problems with 2.2 other then the occasional slowdown. I think I'm lucky that my GPS has always worked... nothing wrong with my turn by turn directions. However, on maps the little blue dot that indicates where you are has always been weird.
[Fascinate General] slaman:
So there is no internal SD card corruption error?

I'm thinking of selling my Bell i9000M and getting the TELUS Fascinate... the only downside is that there isn't as big a development group for the Fascinate...
[Fascinate General] ccrows:
I already went through 2 Bell phones that died because of internal memory failure I'm done with the i9000M series forever. :mad:

Anywhoo What are you guys using for root on the Telus Fascinate?... :)
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
honestly i just found a way to get voodoo on my telus fascinate that i will b posting once i get 8 posts
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] altwho:
Ok the installation is very complicated (and probably will not work in a 2.2 phone but let's test anyway)

Do NOT try this if you're not experienced enough, if this works somebody else might prepare an easier update.zip file. I am not responsible for anything, this might set your phone into a bootloop, in that case you have to be smart enough to be able to remove the libs and apks you installed.

Download flashupdate.zip from the attachments.

Copy the folders from the zip file to your OO:s /system directory.

Then take the FlashPlugin.apk file from the zip file and place it onto your sd card.

Reboot your phone

Install the FlashPlayer.apk from the sd card, select replace application.

(You need to have a checkmark in install from unknown sources in the settings)

Reboot your phone.

The flash lite should be working in the default android browser (no opera),

check from the browser settings if plugins are enabled, try this site:

w ww .whatismyflash.co m

Write here what version number the site reports, if any.

These libraries were taken from the Samsung i5800, which has an armv6 processor and launched with Android 2.1, this is not dependant on htc frameworks like the flash lite on the legend and hero.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] bluviper:
forgive me for asking, but how come this is inside a Froyo discussion?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] wizagg:
I tried this method a long time ago and it didn't work. maybe it only works with the 2.1 browser.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] altwho:
I said probably, i just wanted to test the possibility, I don't own an optimus so i had no idea if it would work. It seems this is not possible, thanks for the replies.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] edrac037:
Test with Optimus One with Prime v2.

Installer ok, browser don't crash but drill no flash...
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] kpbotbot:
I bet you also have to tell the browser that flash lite exists. IMO flash lite just sits there waiting to be called to work.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Ianis G. Vasilev:
Actually it does. If you don't believe me, install Adobe Flash 10.1. Every time you visit a site containing flash the browser will exit (NOT force close).

This works similarly.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] kpbotbot:
I saw someone say on the dev category that flash works with dolphin hd. Check the thread where they're talking about gingerbread :D
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] natedogg20050:
maybe flash works in gingerbread with dolphin i can prove that flash dosent work on dolphin on 2.2

but what i can say is that i can install flash on cm7 but it dosent work on the browser i did try alot flash movies but no one worked.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] kpbotbot:
I tried CM7 too but I can't really test flash since I can't seem to get an IP address from our router, and the network I'm on does not have 3G or even GPRS :)

As soon as the dhcp issue is resolved, I'll test it out and report.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] wizagg:
The only way to install flash on optimus one now is by installing the Eclair browser. anyone can do this? or port Eclair to our phones. Hahaha.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] linkinparkfan007:
isn' that kinda like going backwards?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] wizagg:
yes but it's good in a way that we get flash lite 3.1
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] natedogg20050:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/

that maybe a solution for our phone to install 10.1 flash on our phone
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] kpbotbot:
I'm going to try again with mik_os' CM7 port. I've been reading reports of flash working :D If it doesn't, I'm flashing back to my old ROM until GPS is fixed :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] natedogg20050:
nope flash dosent work on gingerbread.

i did try it now for a multipletimes.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] kpbotbot:
I've found something on the market called "MobileFlash". However, I don't think it installs a plugin on the browser. Go check it out :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] wizagg:
what's this CM7 port? Is it for P500? Is it good?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] natedogg20050:
nope still alpha gonna take 2 or 3 weeks maybe till good workin beta
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] saintsmmx:
Hi, so I have a problem with some critical Force Close problems on my HD2 running NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND.

An example of a Force Close notification is this: "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

This happens even when I am at the home screen without even opening any applications.

Is there a way to make the NAND of the phone start "fresh"?

Because I had been playing with other NAND builds and I hypothesize that this has been somewhat cluttering the system of the device and that this has been messing up the later builds that I install.

I would appreciate any help that I can get and any help would be gratified with a 'Thanks'
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
Recently the Android OS checkbox settings on my Desire Z stopped showing the "unchecked" state. Well, I can usually make out a very faint difference between the two states but an obvious checkmark appears regardless of whether the option is enabled or disabled. It doesn't seem to be a problem with any 3rd party applications, just all the home menu settings.

This is driving me crazy and I think maybe it's time to make use of the factory data reset function - but before I do that I need to understand what exactly will happen to my apps and data and how to restore it.

I realize a screen shot might be useful here but as far as I know that requires an unlocked phone and mine is not...
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Are you rooted? Titanium backup can backup most things, and shootme can take screen shots,... both require root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
Sorry, I meant to say my phone is unrooted, not unlocked (it is in fact, unlocked). So no screen capture. I do wonder if anyone else has experienced this strangeness.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
You sure it isn't supposed to be that way? Only saying that as you are still stock. Try taking a pic with another device maybe?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
You can take screenies with the SDK, but I doubt you have that since you don't have root either...

Anyways, you can completely disregard this post :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
The checkboxes have become corrupted somehow so the enabled/disabled state is virtually indistinguishable - not this way when I got the phone. Good idea, I'll try taking a picture with a camera.

I think a hard reset would probably fix it but what happens to my paid applications when I'm not rooted and have no full backup capability?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Your paid apps will stay in your my downloads section on the Market afaik.

Well, I don't know... try backup all user data and then reboot into recovery. If there will be custom recovery you just boot in it, but if there will be original-one than you lost every data - so it is reason for backup.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sam811:
^^ can you explain the case of the Nandroid backup or give any link that gives a detailed explanation on it.

anyway, Nandroid backup = backup of settings, msg, contacts, etc? or backup of settings, msg, contacts + the original rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
NAND do backup of whole data, which are in phone memory. It snap actual state of whole phone memory and save it. So after restore, you get your phone in state exactly like in time of backup. Maybe best description about is probably here http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/

[Optimus One, P500, V General] peter_silon:
One question regarding section 3. Custom recoveries.

You wrote that custom recovery grants you the adb root access level. But on the other hand, you already assume root privilege while installing custom recovery. How is it then? How do i achieve root user when installing custom recovery? (adb shell su root of course don't work).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
You have to replace old original recovery with custom one - but for this step you will need root access because you replacing system files.

When you boot in custom recovery, you can use adb from Android SDK for connect into adb shell as root user, but first you must have root, that you will be able to use it. :)

Is it clear enough?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peter_silon:
So far i still have the original system and original recovery.

I have rooted my phone (z4root) but it does not grant a root access to adb deamon running in the phone. So when i connect to phone and type

adb root i get:

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

and when i type adb shell su root i get:

Permission denied

So i can not proceed with custom recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
What version of firmware do you have? Rooting is possible only for v10a version (android 2.2). I you have some update from LG update tool, probably you have higher version (2.2.1) and this version can't be rooted. If you want root, you will have downgrade to v10a via KDZ_FW_UPD tool.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peter_silon:

So in order to install a custom kernel, can i use stock 2.2 android?

Needs the custom recovery or not?

Any link for the steps?

[I guess i lose my non-SDcard data, right?]
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Yes, you can use kernel on stock ROM without any problem

Yes you need. Standard way is installation from zip file via custom recovery, which contains script for installation.

Just install custom recovery, and use install zip in recovery.

By installation of kernel - no you don't

by installation custom recovery - no you don't
[Optimus One, P500, V General] morx:

hey, i'm rather experienced on rooting and installing custom recovery on phones, had done it on my old g1, my mytouch slide, my gfs comet, now i'm trying to do this on her optimus p500.

I used z4root to get her superuser for root access and downloaded terminal emulator. typed su into the terminal and clicked accept for superuser to grant root access followed every step for the install and when i did the reboot recovery step the phone booted to recovery but it was stock recovery. recovery restored the phone to factory settings and rebooted. any idea what i did wrong?

This is my first post. I am new to android but familiar with linux underpinnings of the android. I am so glad to have bought an p500 and found such great user community caring the user experience of the android ecosystem on the p500.

Thanks to all your efforts and detailed steps, I have finally ...

rooted my system

> downgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.2 kernel using kdz

> rooted my system : felt such freedom from the locked device.

installed custom rom

> installed adb shell : can look forward to helping out in testing at the beginning and in dev, if I can.

> connected to the phone from the PC and executed adb commands

> installed custom recovery : Thanks to drellisdee's awesome custom recovery

> backup the existing system : phone went into bootloop, backup came handy!

> install custom rom!!! : Thanks tons for community efforts, its a superb system and specially to mik and andy for porting to p500. Awesome work guys ... a red bull is due from my side :)

can i brick my phone while installing custom recovery?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Atin001:
From what I have read It is very difficult to brick your phone if you follow the instructions precisely.It is not a difficult process and potential benefits are great.

Read the guides given on this forum.Take time to understand and become comfortable with the process and you should get through just fine.

Custom Recovery installation is just a tad bit complicated. I failed in the first attempt because I did not copy flash_image file to my SD card.

But once you do it, you will never be afraid again... :)

Allow me to outline what you need to install Custom Recovery.

1. Rooted LG Optimus One (More than 50% charged. You don't want your battery to run out while modding)

2. recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img file

3. Flash_Image file

4. Android SDK so that you can use command ADB shell

5. Custom Rom zip file

6. Read and follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10377391#post10377391
