Partition Instructions for Installing CyanogenMod

Hi: I have successfully flashed the Megatron ROM and am now wanting to try CyanogenMod. The only thing I can't seem to find instructions on is what the sdCard partition should be.

These are the instructions for the Megatron ROM thread. They worked perfectly and were simple to follow.

1. Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.

2. Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).

3. Connect the device to PC, copy Megatron over to the SDcard, disconnect.

4. Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"

5. Reboot

I presume I do everything identical for the CyanogenMod - except I'm unsure if I partition the same way.

Can someone please verify if I can simply follow the above instructions or whether I need to something different. I wasn't able to find these types of instructions when searching this thread.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] nikoltu:
You don't need to partitition your SD card every time you flash a rom. It stays in it's place all the time (checked it with Partitition Manager via PC), so just flash rom, install something2sd and be happy.

P.S. Recommendation to use Free Space to keep eye on ext partitition space.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
Yes, use the same instructions.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Ramis:

Phone reboots instead of powering off - even after removing and reinserting battery !

**resolved** when charging, you cannot turn-off Gingerbread. It is by design. Simply unplug the charger and phone can be powered down. (Pretty simple - when you know!)

Original Message

I flashed the beta6.5.5 latest stable ROM on my Optimus T P509 and everything seems to be working as expected - except that I cannot turn the phone off! I have tried everything.

- I removed the battery; as soon as I re-insert it, the phone boots without pressing any buttons

- I tried booting to recovery mode and using the power off feature there; again, after shutting down, it reboots

The only thing I can currently do to turn the phone off is to remove the battery and leave it out.

Any suggestions on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Just flashed mike's cyanogen and it really is great.

i'm very impressed with how many customizations are available.

Keep up the good work.:D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] snsd:
I don't understand. It's a "feature" of Gingerbread that you can never turn your phone off? That doesn't make sense to me. Please help me understand.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kly91:
Qualify it please..you can't turn it off ONLY WHEN CHARGING..and that's the feature..you can always turn it off anytime as ling as it's not plugged in..

This is true only when you are charging.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] harshdoshi25:
no need to partition for this rom. u can use this without patitioning. though if u wish u can partition n use some form of app2sdd to move dalvik cache, etc.. no reference to partitioning in instruction = no need of partitioning.

Phone reboots instead of powering off - even after removing and reinserting battery !

I feel pretty stupid...but had no idea that the phone can't be turned-off when the charger is plugged-in. In fact, I took out the battery, leaving it plugged-in, and couldn't figure out why it kept rebooting instead of powering down!

I don't know if the recent post saying that "NOOB" questions should be in the discussion forum is referring to this question. If it is, I apologize but I just assumed that the question was in relation to this ROM as the other ROM I flashed didn't have this challenge. (Now I know it didn't have the "issue" because it was a Froyo ROM.)

Anyhow, please let me know if this should have been posted elsewhere.

Thanks in advance:)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Ventus_zx:
damn this rom takes alot of battery! how do i decrease the amount of power drained?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] fernando1sg:
you can do a lot of things one of them its profiling low frequencies on your processor when you lock it so basically it goes to sleep so does speak and don't use a task killer you don't need it ( i was a task killer fanatic) but then i realized that is not necessary and it drains battery... also try to turn everything off like 3g wifi data phone sync what ever all that sh1t you dont need, you can do this with the power control widget which comes with any ROM.

Hope this helps you.

Thank button if you dont mind :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DJBhardwaj:
Well, firstly you should be aware that using dt' apps2sd or link2sd app or any other app or zip to move your apps an data to SD card, its needed to partition the SD card. Not doing so some times causes FC's in apps etc.

I presume that you have a 2GB SD. Now make a backup of it on your PC. Make sure that the card is not allready partioned. In case it is, use softwares like SD formatter or partition manager to delete those partitions.

Now.when you have backed up your SD. Follow these :-

- Open recovery

- mounts and storage > format SD card

- go back to recovery main menu

- advanced > partition SD card ( choose 512M + 0 swap)

- when partitioning is done restart and mount usb storage, drag the ***2sd.zip to the SD card, unmount usb storage and flash the zip. DONE!

i hope thia helped :)

Hello Mik, just a question.

I know you will have no updates this month for CM7. My question is to know if its because there are no relevant updates to add, or if you don't have much time at the moment.

Many Thanks for your work :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
to see if there are relevant updates, have a look at cynogen github:

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
I think it's neither a bug nor a feature.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
theres no updates, coming only bug fixes (as the latest is CM7 RC1 and we got that, then theres no updates, only bug fixes ^_^ but i wiill try to see why this missplaces :P (something that injects to libsurfaceflinger i guess) well at least doesnt want to work with it somehow +__+
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] harshdoshi25:
it wasnt just for you. many others. n btw i know its related to the ROM. thats why a disscussion thread is made 'FOR' the rom n various difficulties ppl face n answers n disscussion on it. and also , mik has answered to your first question already, ages ago, on the first page in the faq's.. plz read before posting. n this isnt for only u. for all. there are about 4 million ppl on xda. so whatever question u have , there is 99% chance ki someone else has it too , ur not alone. n that someone else has posted abot it, n someone else has clarified it too. sorry if i was rude. didnt wanna b.. see the link to disscussion thread. its on the top of the first post by mik.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] RevengeFNF:
Yes, we know that already. If you turn off the screen, and turn on again after 1 second, the black screen bug appear.

But you don't need to turn it off again and wait 5 seconds...

Just touch the screen, and the black screen disappears. Simple as that.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shashi_hv:
I think you cannot use paulo's kernel as it's not CM compatible!!!

black screen

just got an optimus t yesterday, (my first foray into android) and installed 6.5.5.

four times now: while charging and not using the phone the screen has gone black.

Any button I press does not turn the screen back on. I notice the buttons are lit up while pushing them but there is no activity on the screen.

After pulling the battery and turning on again the screen appears without any issue.

how would one go about diagnosing this?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ccdreadcc:
6.5.5 has no black screen bug...

do a fresh flash again and follow correct procedure...

and use only fracokernel 18.1 version...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] pumix:
that's not true.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mentalityx:
Going to take the plunge and check out GB finally. What better way than to use this ROM and Francos kernel. Ive been reading this thread for about a month now and feel that Im ready. Ill report back later.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] eigokyoukan:
Check out 6.6 with Francos latest .35 kernel from July 25. Just turn screen off the screen off animation.

Set on smoothass, it has been the the absolute best combination for performance and battery life for me. I get a full 1 day of heavy use, 1 and a half to 2 days moderate to light. I don't use 3G as much as other though, so your mileage may very. There is no denying though 6.6 with FK .35 7/25 release is the best for performance.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lohdavid:
my optimus one p500 no such problem. everything all right..except when turn on radio, blutooth will turn on also.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sweetbinodray:
Yeah its true...6.5.5 hasn't any black screen bug. ...Just flash kernel based on 32.41 **** FK 18.1

I had the same problem.

So I flashed franco's kernel franco.Kernel.v18.1 BFS from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049518

I also flashed zram initializer and whiped cache.

the problem is that now adw launcher is crashing.

I'm an a2sd user.

Please give me some advice on what to do to fix this.

Look up "BetterBatteryStats" here on xda forums. Install and run it. Tap the first drop down box and choose wakelocks.

It shows a list of the apps that are keeping your phone awake. See what apps are at the top and consider removing them, or looking at their settings to see if they're set to do stuff in the background.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Washakie:
Tried the 6.6 --> SPLIT SCREEN (damn frustrating! It is impossible to use the cell)

Now I'm on the 6.5.5 and it is awesome!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] teddybig:
If you flash 6.6 with Franco's kernel there wont be split screen.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
I was just on 6.6 with Franco's kernel and the screen was all over the place. If that's not a showstopper, dunno what is.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] socialdistortion:
You need to flash the latest franco kernal. The inbuilt one results in split screen.

There are tons of users (including me) running CM7 6.6 with latest franco kernel and no one has reported split screen (black screen once in a while but mainly unnoticeable)

Help

Ive searched and searched but still have not found a specific answer to my two problems. Maybe I missed it but here I go.

My screen will not rotate at all. I checked the ADW settings and check marked the Auto-rotate screen option and then checked it again for CyanogenMod settings under the Accelerometer for 90 degrees and 180 degrees is checked. Still will not rotate.

Next is the USB to PC connection. I went to the LG website and installed the drivers for my phone. I get the notification on my phone saying that USB is connected. When I want to activate to USB storage it never connects at all. I just get a message saying that my SD card has been unmounted. I then mount back and this happens all over again. I did a clean install BTW. Other than those two probs everything else works besides the radio.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mastershefis:
