The LG Optimus One Thread

[niraj87]

^^i just checked uninstalling few apps n they were really uninstalled..

 

[me1]

Really?!? I wouldn't risk that if I were you.

What apps did you delete btw?
I want to get rid of some preinstalled apps

 

[niraj87]

^^I'm NOT talking abt pre-installed apps !!! You cant uninstall those apps without rooting. I've rooted n uninstalled some of LG apps, but I use Android 2.1 Eclair on LG GT540.

 

[me1]

duh! uninstalling manually installed apps is not a biggie.

what were you talking about? reorganising the stock launcher, right?

 

[niraj87]

I was talkin abt 1-click uninstalling, while other apps like Astro File Manager, Appmanager etc, take 3-4 steps to uninstall apps (the more effort reqd. to do smthng on a phone, the worse). Also, I never knew we cud rearrange apps into categories like Games, Multimedia inside the drawer, which makes it to be a good but ignored launcher. I'm a launcher, widget n organizer app fan, btw..

 

[me1]

Reorganizing the apps is what i was talking about too. i assumed you were referring to all apps and not just the downloaded apps.
as for uninstalling the apps, one/two or many clicks doesn't matter, but then thats just me. perhaps i have more time than you do, and i am not being sarcastic.
that said, i've only downloaded few apps so far, and they could be uninstalled very easily. msn messenger, estrong and some more. um..wait, i didn't uninstall estrong, i had to reset my phone..so that was gone.

I have 250 apps (no nonsense apps) installed on my apps2SD enabled LG GT540 n the list will increase with time. It isnt easy to manage all of them.

[dreatica]

I flashed prime v2 rom, and the phone is working perfect. You all must give this rom a try.

 

[abhidev]

All the LG optimus 1 users....pls give your feedback as my brother is planning to buy this cell. Thanks

^^ Task/App killers should be used sparingly.

Here is how to root.
1. Download z4root 1.3.0 from HERE to your PC.
2. Transfer the .apk file to your SD-Card using the USB Cable.
3. Install the file on your phone (find it using the file manager, tap it)
4. You might have to enable USB Debugging if it isn't already ON. The app will prompt you to do so it its disabled. You can enable it from Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
5. You have 2 options, Temporary Root / Permanent Root. Temporary root will be disabled if you reboot your phone, but usually its enough for removing the useless apps.
6. It might take 2-3 minutes to root.

7. Once done, download and install Titanium Backup (Free version) from the Android Market. The Pro paid version supports Freezing/Unfreezing of apps and some other features.

8. Once installed, Take a complete backup of your phone (user+system) apps and data.

9. In the lite version you can uninstall system apps. So select the app which you want to remove and use Uninstall option. BE CAREFUL AND SURE OF WHAT TO REMOVE WHILE UNINSTALLING STUFF. IF IN DOUBT, DON'T....ASK FIRST

No more Bollywoodji, Infant Vaccine Tracker etc for me

@noja
Use MixZing.

@abhidev
This phone is best, considering it's price.
I think in mid segment of android phones only HTC Gratia excels Optimus One, but alas it's availability is doubtful.

@infinite
