Hi @all,

this thread is for help you all on how to install/flash CM7 or better "Gingerbread" on our device.

Too many users posts every and every day the same questions - so, here you have a right place to ask for all of your interests.

@Mods:

This thread is created to become clean DEV threads - please, do not close ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arielxarg:
great thread mate ! :)

maybe i'm the first one to ask a question here :D

how to enable the a2sd on CM7 beta 1.1 by mik ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] irondevil:
flash a2sd dark tremor search it on xda i think it is in nexus one discussion
[Optimus One, P500, V General] taha198:
That was quick andy

Thanks :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arielxarg:
thanks mate ! :) now i can install a tons of apps without thinking about my internal memory :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] irondevil:
you're welcome

ps: please to say thanks use thanks button :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kenblat:
after using a2sd script not all the data go to sdcard, right? some still remain @ internal?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DonDizzurp:
so whats the best gingerbread to run on the p500? are there many bugs or fc's or anything? should i just stick to 2.2(.x)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bluviper:
great place to ask... but will the questions be answered right away?

i thought at first, as the title implies...

right after clicking the link, i thought i will see steps and procedures and best bets for GB ports and ROMS... but somehow.. its not the idea...

i guess we should rename the title... GB discussions of some sort...

because this cant be the thread with a guide to install something....

just my 2 cents.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] irondevil:
to complete the installation procedure give this command through terminal emulator "a2sd cachesd" with root permission and enjoy a2sd :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arielxarg:
after using the darktremor's a2sd i got some bug ( honestly i dont know its a bug or not :confused:)

after i moved some of my photos and music from my pc , when i want to open the photo on gallery , it keep saying that sdcard not mounted :confused:

i already try to remounted the sdcard through the settings but it doesn't work :(

but when i try the music player and the file manager , it can detect the music and also the picture. just the gallery can't detect it.

any suggestion ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Reboot once more.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arielxarg:
it's not working :S

i already reboot several times :(

Currently I am using CM7 beta 1.1 from mik on my phone, but I wish to install andy's gingerbread version.

Do I need to wipe all data first? Or is there any way I can install both side by side?

Is anyone having problems getting their phone to mount after installing mik's CM7? I no longer get the prompt to turn on USB storage when I connect to my computer. It does make the little ding though for USB debugging.

Hello !

- i am new to Android ( LG P500 ) , and i want to install Android 2.3.3 CM7 beta2 by mik_os , i really don't know what to do , can anyone tell me the steps ? what do i need ?

so far i managed to root the phone using (z4root @permanent)

what's next !?

i am using Windows 7 x64 , my phone is running Android 2.2 Froyo it's an Unlocked Vodafone LG P500.

ThankYou and sorry for my bad english.

PS: if i flash the phone with CM7 will it still be network unlocked (it was locked @vodafone) ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
Yes. Your choice of ROM has no effect on the SIM unlock. I have an Optimus T that I unlocked from T mobile and I have installed lots of different ROMS and it has remained unlocked.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] jmartinho:
Hello everyone, I'm having an "issue" with CM7. Someone made a wifi fix for Beta 1, and now Beta 2 has a fix itself and it's all fine except I have to give the terminal superuser permission in order for it to work.

I was wondering if there's a way for it to automatically give permission as I have to write su everytime I turn my phone on and that's a bit lame :x
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
su is the root command. Whenever you want root access, you type su. It is made this way because the shell does not need root for all commands. So you may want to browse your folders via shell, and you wont need su for that.

In all linux distros, and unix too, you type su when needing root access... that's the way it works. Be happy that you don't need to type the admin password whenever going root via su, as you would in linux/unix.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ame85:
No, you don't have to be a superuser for it to work:). The "su" command is just needed to check if the fix is working. If you just run the command "iwconfig wlan0" the terminal gives back to you wrong values, due to the lack of superuser command. But it doesn't mean the power management or the txpower are not working.:)

What are the pros and cons of CM7 by mik_os vs. gingerbread by andy? It seems they work in collaboration. I have CM7 loaded but it's hogging the battery badly compared the stock 2.2 with the airplane mode fix.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Martin4os:
after installing andy's gingerbread i noticed a small typo/mistake in the build.prop ... there is a line (from franciskofranco skripts) windowsmsg.max_events_per_sec=200. I think it should be windowsmgr instead ... Also i don't know if this lines writen like this work, they are writen under wifi so....

Anyway, the rom is great, I'm completely satisfied.. Keep up the good work Andy :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zepiram:
Hello,

I've currently installed on my phone the CM7 from mik_os and I've noticed that some applications from the market don't show up anymore. Namely, Wolframalpha used to show up as available with the stock rom and now I can't see it when accessing the market trough the phone. By searching around it seems there's some issue with copy protected apps. Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] solidv:
Install market enabler, you can download it from market. Hope that fix it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zepiram:
Nope, still the same problem :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] r291:
They are very similar. I guess they are the only 2.3s in development for O1. I've been switching from one to another after each update for checking them out.

Since both are in beta/RC, they are still sorting out bugs (very quickly). Battery life has only improved every update. So I think the final builds will be fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jhoopes517:
Can someone give full instructions? I can install the other GB build, bus I cant install CM7. Its kinda weird. Im new to the Optimus series, used to use a Dream.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] valent|n0:
Okay so I am running CM7 beta 6 now

display wize I am amazed

I just got it up and I just like the way it looks

now aside from gapps do I need to flash anything like wifi fix or any other fixes??

thank you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] r291:
what is your exact problem? does it go into a bootloop?

not necessarily. francisco franco's scripts are available if you want them.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jhoopes517:
Everytime I try it goes into bootloop at the CMscreen. Even after I use the /system wipe thingy mabobber.

If it matters, im attempting to run it on the Optimus T, but I highly doubt thats the reason.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zyzomys:
I am using CM7 Beta 6 and my phone is now reverting to the Android keyboard from Smart Keyboard. Any idea why this is happening? (I am not allowed to post in the devopers forum - yet). Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] solidv:
Can someone upload beta5 from mik to mediafire, i upgraded to beta6 but it's too laggy. Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] r291:
Did you do a complete wipe before that? (data, cache, dalvik-cache, ext, android_secure). Try wiping everything, then flashing the system format zip provided in the CM7 thread and reflashing CM7. try beta 5 or 4 this time.

Your device is not the problem. CM7 runs on many Optimus Ts.

Uploaded beta5. I'm using b5 right now with no problems and great battery.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/t8iruwyf7ft2yew/cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mik.zip

This is mik_os's work just uploaded by me. Go to CM7 thread first and read before downloading. beta5 is marked as a testing build.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jhoopes517:
Ill try it and let you know if it works, Thanks in advanced

EDIT: What recovery should I be using?

EDITEDIT: Its up and running fine. I flashed Clockwork recovery anyways and for some reason its working. I have beta 6 up and running. Thank you for your help!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
first as andy mention that ur phone can go into bootloop so inorder to wipe the system properly flash the zip provided http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11785758&postcount=557 using custom recovery 1.2.1 .now wipe all the status mention above and then install the cm 7 rom. so if u get any bootloop flashing the zip is imporatant inorder to escape bootloop.

I have still Froyo 2.2.2 and want to update now to CM7 Gingerbread.

My problem is that i can't open the recovery console to open the ROM.

But when i turn off my p500 and turn it on with Vol.down+home+power it starts and resets automatically all. So i'm in my user interface again but all is d´reseted.

I thought if i press Vol.down+home+power it will start the recovery console...

Can help me someone?

I really tried all things like ADB and so on but it didn't work :(

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Djidara:
first of all u need to root your phone, if u didnt. u dont need to downgrade anymore, u can root it with GingerBreak (search the forums)

then u need to install custom recovery(console, like u are saying). if you dont install custom recovery, when u turn on your phone with vol+home+power, phone will just factory reset. to install custom recovery u can download ROM manager from market and install Clockwork recovery mod(easyest way imo), or u can search forums for some other recovery and install it with terminal or ADB.

then u can boot in recovery and flash roms.

hi everyone here

i am a new guy here,my device is the archos 101 16G.after i install the urukdroid 0.7 in the internal stock(16G),it run well.

i also found its " Available space" become 735MB.not casual 256MB.however,its "free memory" for running apps is just 110MB(when i kill most of services and apps).concequently,after three or four web pages opend(especially flash on),the browse collapse!,i think it is killed dued to lack of free memory.

so .who can tell me why? "735MB" just a fiction?

thanks
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
No fiction, just missinformation on your side.

"Available space" equals to the space left on the /data partition. This is the space you have for installing Apps an their private data.

This has nothing to do with the amount of memory the processor has to operate.

This stays at 256 MB.

After Android is started you probably have around 100MB left of that.

If you need more memory, you have to enable swapping and/or compcache.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heimukai007:
thanks for your help,

i wonder is it stable to SWAP "256Mb" in my SDcard?

and the"swap swappiness" value should be "10" or "60" or other?

addtionally,is it any way swapping in the internal stock? i mean the infernal 16G

thanks too
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
This is a good question, but we can not answer this really.

1. Swappiness means the lower the value the harder the kernel tries not to swap.

2. You can put the swapfile onto the internal drive, BUT as you constantly run out of mem ( by your description ) you will have alot of writecycles.

And a SD has a limitted write contingent so your internal drive might age faster, and because you can't change that i personaly would not use it for swap.

But there are some reports that normal SD cards sometimes give a freeze.

If you use Dolphin Browser you can decide to put the cache onto SD.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heimukai007:
ok,thanks a lot,

seems that i have to use the dolphin and age my SDcard both
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heimukai007:
by the way,anyone could give me some tips how to swap in sdcard?

is it neccessally to repartition sdcard and how?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mod57:
Swap

Swapper 2 is pretty easy.

Swapper 2 (for Root users)

To put the Swap partition on your sdcard go to; settings - Swap place - and enter.

/sdcard/sdcard/swapfile.swp

You can also change - Swappiness - and - Swap Size - in settings if you choose to.

After changing settings go back to home page and push ON button. It will then create the swap on your sdcard, be patient this takes a few seconds. You can see the Swap file on your sdcard using file manager. It automatically turns itself on after reboots.

To use USB you have to turn Swap on your sdcard off by simply going to Swapper 2 and press the OFF button.

When finished using USB simply turn it back on or it will turn back on after your next reboot.

FREE & EASY way to unlock any phone, works with US T-mobile, not sure about others

in the past 4 years, I have changed cell phones (same carrier- T-mobile) every 6 months, if u want the free extremely easy way unlock ANY phone, call T-Mobile customer service, tell them you will be traveling outside the country soon and you would like to request a unlocked code for your phone, so you can use your phone in the other country, they will submit a request and email your unlock code with in 24 hrs, always got mine within 6-12hrs, then put in a non t-mobile sim card in your phone and enter the unlock code you were emailed! Its that simple and easy!! Just a little FYI for the ones that are a little if'y about doing adv phone editing.

^You should have done this before!^ I'm going to make it easier for you and explain in simple terms. Drain your battery until it can no longer turn on. Then charge your phone for about 4-5 hours. You will reset the battery meter. Hopefully, this will work out for you.

On another note: try charging your phone when it's low on batteries (less than 30%).

Anyone know how? There has to be a definitive way to do this.

April 7

Here's another new version.

Turned on hardware acceleration.

Fixed some of the initial setup issues.

Fixed issue when using a Wifi XOOM with the web service.

Fixed some misc infrequent crashes

Removed some unecessary debug code

Known issues

Colors still don't work

If you choose a google account, and have never provided permission before, a loading dialog will not show up. This has been a ***** to fix because the emulator is dog slow and I have to wipe everytime I try to test.

---------------------------

As promised here's a new release. quickjotter-android2.apk is the new one. I left the old one on there in case you don't like the permissions for the new one.

It has a few performance improvements. There is now an editor in the main view, so you can still use the syncing without having the always visible sticky. I've also added a syncing component, just choose a google account when the app first runs to use that account.

http://quickjotter.appspot.com for the web interface. Log in with whatever account you choose when you first run the app. Syncing to your XOOM is done via C2DM, so it does not poll and should impact battery life minimally.

Please uninstall the old version before installing this one.

Some notes...

I've had some testing troubles since I can't figure out how to wipe out the permissions to access a Google Account without removing it, which is a total pain in the ass. So it's quite possible this version will crash right off the bat. I apologize if it does. Hopefully I'll be able to test a first use aspect more this week before it goes public. Please let me know any oddities related to account permissions.

The colors don't work yet.

The account selection is very rough, press it once and wait a few seconds it should go away. If you hit the back button it will likely screw up. This is my priority to fix this coming week.

---------------

Hi guys,

I started working on a proof of concept for a sticky note app for the XOOM.

Right now there's one note, it's the only note. Swipe inward over the bar to bring up the note. You can't move the note.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please don't distribute it.

The app is great! The only thing I suggest is nothing that will make the app more functional, but rather aesthetically pleasing IMO. Can you capitalize the "new" and "hide" buttons?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 2JZ GZE:
also possibly making the hidden bar a bit skinnier?
