Peak Oil is real!
Hey guys it seems as if my battery is draining. Earlier with airplane mode on battery only depleted by 1-2% but now even in airplane mode it gets decreased by 10%. Imagine what happens with airplane mode off!!!!!! Please help guys, what could be the reason?

^ I'm talking about depletion of battery overnight.

Recalibrate battery...

Drain it completely. Jump to custom recovery and erase battery stats.

Recharge to 100% and again erase battery stats.

Repeat procedure a couple of times. Battery life will improve.

Use Franco kernel for better battery efficiency.

Well I had flashed my O1 to gingerbread using CM 7.1 Mod but I have noticed after flashing the rom camera quality has degraded what i men is whenever i take pics in room or closed spaces the pics are too dark. Any suggestions?


I have the same problem. Low default camera exposure settings.

Need help. Want to set default exposure settings to 13...

Any tips?

Is it a good idea to recalibrate battery ?

Do not know about Airplane mode but almost all the smart phones esp running Android will have a very poor battery. Set display to minimum , bluetooth, wifi, background data all disabled when not in use. If u are playing games, make sure that the game app doesn't run in background. If u use custom rom, uninstall all the apps given by LG . If everything fails , try to use and change custom roms to improve ur battery life.

LG Camera in stock Rom has got a very good clarity than the custom roms. Featurewise, u can try MIUI camera app but still LG Stock Rom camera has got a very good image clarity. Camera in O1 taken without a proper light ( ie in darkness or in night time ) will have a very very poor image quality as it doesn't have flash.

@gmg9 - has ur problem with the widget call open signal map been resolved ?

@royal.tarun - Thanks for the Rom. Why don't u consider the development based on CM7 ?

use phone mode as Emergency... after successful uograde, d phone will restart.. but it stuck at android boot screen.. then do a hard reset.. it worked.

happy to see that someone has at least seen my post.
Except you and Sam others have just ingored it.

Developing on CM7 would be better ?
which one would you suggest.

@ pratik.


Basically on a windows machine you download kdz updater and uncompress it as it is a zip file.
Download from here.

This is what I did on an xp laptop.


I had to down load the drivers from the official lg site. when here you enter the code that is on the box the phone came in or under the battery.
Chose the your county and laguage from the drop down box at the top right of the dialogue box. Then from the middle you can choose the drivers. For some reason I had to find the files and click on them to install the driver.

Ok once you decompress kdz updater there are three seperate files to work with. 1. windows enabler. 2. msxml.msi 3.KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

You will also need to download the right file to restore with,You can find it with google.
Please check here the The_ERROR thread wich explains it very well:
[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list.

Install msxml now.

Now you have to boot the phone into rescue mode. On Lg Optimus One turn phone off even if it means taking out the battery.
Press power - volume up - back (this button is next to the home button).

Connect to usb now.Computer found new hardware and installed four drivers.

Then open device manager. Left click my computer - properties - device manager. You need to disable the lg modem driver. Left click on it and disable.

Now launch kdz updater. There will be a drop box on left set to 3gspt or similiar. on the right drop box set to diag. The long box just above the info box with a file at the side lets you browse to find restore file. e.g. V10a.00.kdz.

Double click the button below and let it do it's thing. Took 15min. My phone shut down and came up with an error at the last minute. Anyway I rebooted and all was good.

Everything was the way I left it. Just had to re-root.

My only real problem was getting the kdz installer to see the phone.
After installing the drivers restart pc. If it finishes quickly and just before saying finished it says phone not found try removing all phone related drivers including nokia pc suite and the lg suite and remove and reinstall the drivers.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Ahh, that's the reason you got the error, the ROM that you downloaded, probably that person was using ext partition, and your phone didn't find that.

So you are now on v10b right?? Now backup that ROM and flash Mik's 6.5.7 / 6.6.1

is it possible somehow get the lg froyo camera app or new lg gingerbread camera app to hav installed in our custom rom.. ??

@gmg9 - has ur problem with the widget call open signal map been resolved ?
i think my post make people confused and misguided...
the prob is not with dat widget... but with the things happening as i stated ... signal maps just widget to see ur mobile network details...

my problem is not resolved yet.... :-(

@tarun i really appreciate ur time and effort for developing rom, does't matter based on wat... bt as users love cm7 than stock lg roms... it would be a good idea to play with cm7.. as it will give u more users to test ur rom.. again.. keep up the work, my frnd :)

okay pals.
so now i'm thinking to develop for CM7 cuz many people don't use the new baseband.
what kinda ROM would you like?
any suggestions?

CM 6.5.7 based & if you can, strip it of almost everything. make addons flashable zips containing necessary files. like Void forever but AFAIK, void does't have cyanogen mod setting.
