Hii i've flashed ICS (AOKP) today.. now i'm unable to move apps to sd card.. it displays an error "couldn't move app" ... any suggestion to solve this problem?
The LG Optimus One Thread
Make sure SD card is properly inserted.
Btw, just experienced the web view bug. It doesn't show black screen for every mail but for some.
Rest of the stuff is pretty cool. Like the recent apps list! Full previews!

The sd card is properly mounted.. i can access the files in sd card thru file manager.. but unable to move apps... also winamp doesn't show any songs.. but the songs can be played in file manager!!
^^ Try Link2SD then.
But first you will have to make an ext2 partition on SD card with a size of about 300MB.
ext2 partition is to be continued partitioning to ext3. And this is done from Recovery console. Of course it will erase the data of the card. So make sure to back it up first.

You will have to read a lot... I had rooted my phone the very next day after buying it and flashed a custom ROM on it... somewhere around the last week of March 2011... Its been more than a year now... Currently running ICS.
Cyanogenmod is excellent. If you want all features to run perfectly, I would suggest Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread). I am not aware of the latest rooting methods, since I never had to reroot my phone.
Make sure your phone is fully charged before going ahead. Take caution. Follow steps exactly. If there is some mistake in the steps below, one of our friends here would correct it (hopefully in time before you fry your chipset).
1. Look for Gingerbreak.apk on XDA forums. I have heard it works well. It will root your phone
2. Once rooted, install ROM Manager on your phone from Google Play.
3. Reboot Phone.
4. Open ROM Manager and install custom recovery. You have an option to do that from that app.
5. Reboot.
6. Now go to XDA forums, and download the latest CM7 or CM9 Nightly. Its a 100 MB zip file. Copy it to your SD Card.
7. Switch off your phone
8. Hold down Home Button + Volume Down button. Now press the Power button for few seconds until you see LG logo. Leave the power button but keep holding the Home + Volume down button.
9. If everything went well, your phone should be in Custom Recovery.
10. Create Nandroid Backup from the options in that custom recovery.
11. Now Create a 512 MB Ext2 Partition on your SD card.
12. Convert that partition to Ext3 and then to Ext4 if you want...
13. Factory Reset phone from the wipe menu in custom recovery.
14. Also Wipe System from the menu
15. Now, there should be an option to Install from SD card. Select that, and then choose the downloaded zip file from the list.
16. Flash the file. It will take a couple of minutes.
17. Reboot from menu
You should now be running an awesome custom ROM, which will be fast, smooth and with no more FCs...
If something goes wrong, reboot to Custom Recovery and restore from backup. It is stored in the Nandroid folder, or maybe backup folder.
All the Best...

I didn't hear the word "backup" in above post
Also use AmonRa as the recovery, not any other like CWM, which is risky.
Point 10 was about backup.
I also believe AmonRA is better. I use it. But for new users, flashing Amonra can be tough. Can you post the method of flashing the latest Amonra on Optimus One?

I have some questions about
Step 1. Is there any app on market that can root my phone or I had to use Gingerbreak?
Step 2. Are you talking about app named 'Rom manager'?
Step 4. So I need not install any recovery like AmonRa recovery, Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery etc ? Rom manager has inbuilt recovery?
Step 6. Please provide links to the custom roms you metion(also to your present rom)
step 10. is there any option in custom recovery to do the nandroid backup?
step 11&12. How to do that partition?
step 14. how to do that?
is there any process to recover my old factory rom

1. There is no app on the Market to root the phone, as far as I know...
2. Yes, ROM Manager is an app in the Market
4. ROM Manager will install ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) on your phone. It is easy, but if not done correctly can prevent your phone from booting. So, manually flashing Amonra Recovery is safer. For that, you need ADB from Android SDK. Slightly complicated, but you can find tutorials online...
6. I currently am on CyanogneMod 9 ICS CHARGEME ROM -- [STABLE][ROM][CM9][ICS][4.0.4][29.MAY.2012][CHARGEME] Cyanogenmod 9, ICS, CAF Kernel - xda-developers
Its not perfect, but good enough, and nightlies coming out every few days, adding more features and quashing bugs...
10. Yes, you can create a Nandroid backup from Custom Recovery.
11, 12. You can create partition from Custom Recovery. It is needed later on, when you will install Link2SD from Android Market and link all the apps to SD Card. It will give you enormous storage data for your apps and games. Never have to face the problem of "low space. Cannot install app".
Personally, I have a partition of 1.5 GB. You can increase your partition size to 1 GB or more if you have a big SD card. That space becomes unusable for your pics, videos and other files. It becomes an extension of system memory. Also, after that, you cannot hot swap your SD card, because then none of your apps would work.
14. There is a wipe menu in Amorna and CWM recoveries. When flashing a new ROM, it is appropriate to wipe System so that there are no issues and you get a clean install.
You can get back to your old factory ROM by restoring the Nandroid backup you are going to take before flashing the new ROM. Also, remember to take backup of the Nandroid folder to your PC before partitioning the SD card. You don't want to lose the stock ROM in case you need it later... There is an option to mount SD card in the Custom Recovery itself... So that after Nandroid backup, you can connect your phone to the PC, and copy that folder to a safe place...

Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/original_recovery.imgit should be same as the last one. you still need 2 files. just rename it.
In my time (Jan 2012), I didn't have to use any command on ADB or whatever. I just installed ROM Manager, which flashed CWM recovery. And from which I just flashed the AmonRa zip file (this: AmonRa_multirom-20120204-signed.zip). Related thread: All In One Recovery Thread - Android Forums
Of course I did that by asking countless number of questions from Sam on chat!
For which I am grateful of him.And the same version of AmonRa is serving me well since then. I even flashed the latest nightlies of CM 9 using the same recovery. So I think the simple flash method is worth a try.
Of couse this advice comes with a disclaimer that I won't be held liable for damages, if any!

@androidfan
So you are telling me that it isnt necessary to partition SD card? and if I do partition, after nanddroid back up I need to connect with computer and backup the rom in recovery mode?
Plz provide link to perfectly build rom you mentioned
Is it safe to use all of my personal account in this rom............or i have to create new accounts?
