The LG Optimus One Thread

[ajaymailed]

this thread itself is the proof of growing clout & power of Android. 10K Budget phone is being customized, updated, rooted so much that it will shame the costly fancy looking phones coming with so many restrictions. Jalebi on Optimus One is pretty amazing.

hope rooting, custom ROMs will be become even more simpler in future allowing all kinds of users to try different ROMs.

Jalebi?? Is this some new variant of Android, developed by some Indian devs?

And, rooting, installing custom ROM's is already so easy. Just hope it becomes free of the risks that comes with it, which is the prominent reason for many people not to try it.

yes, rooting will get easy with all manufacturers joining HTC locking booloader and asking to sign petition to have it unlocked. If manufacturer can't provide update simply sell mobile without OS or bring DEVs as employee.

I have an issue at hand. I installed MIUI v4 just for a change, and whenever I tried to download ROM manager, it always took forever and never completed.

and in the past few days, I suddenly took the phone out of my pocket to see it had gone off and wouldn't switch on easily. Today it went off and hasnt switched on since morning. Cant figure out what's wrong, any idea?

Is it completely dead, or just not booting into the OS?
Can you go into recovery? If you can try rebooting from the option in recovery.

And just check if there's even battery or not. Try to start it after keeping on charge.

@sam even when I was sleeping my phone never went to sleep ;( now on picolo...

usually after a reboot mobile goes to sleep properly.

no EXT for me.

Lol no. Having an ext partition is no reason for battery problem. Its like saying that an extra partition in your PC's hard disk is consuming more electricity.
In your case it seems there must be some app causing wake locks. Which is usually resolved by a reboot.

Btw.. I realized the biggest battery drainer in my phone today (which is on Tinystream).
And it's 3G!

Yeah. With 3G the battery drains like waterfall. But with 2G I am getting a backup of 24 hours with still 15% left, with the same usage patterns.
No wonder why hephappy don't recommend 3G on this ROM.

no EXT for me.

Dude! Do you even know how much help have the ext partition given to the small memory problem in my mobile???

You already know that I use a lot of apps. So limited battery was my biggest concern. But after I setup linkSd with the ext partition, my concerns are over!
I have installed about 45 apps which takes about 198 MB. And still I have 150 MB free!!
Awesome isn't it?

its because I read it somewhere and when I was on stock then also I flashed some scripts and had ext partition and then also I had battery problems.....

also the buttons glow everytime after touching the screen :X

About the battery problem belonging to ext, I think it's pure myth. And I too am annoyed by the button glowing problem after each touch on screen!

Btw, the screenshot explaining the usage pattern on 2G on Tinystream ROM

As I said, installing ROM manager from market never worked...it would always take infinite time and then it would say download failed (no other app gave
such issue). and then this happened..so basically there's no recovery .

and yes completely dead, as in no LG symbol nothing. there's absolutely no response at all, tried it after charging it for a few hours as well. But i do remember seeing a lot of battery, putting it in pocket, and then 30 minutes later when i pull it out its dead.

I hadnt even tinkered much, other than just ocing it to ~600-700 Hz Hz (not sure of the exact value,) but it was working well for a few days with it, so that shudnt be the cause of trouble I suppose..

strange problem. after upgrading to ICS tinylight, i did upgrade my baseband. then everything was ok. now few days back i reflashed the rom tinylight, after wiping delvik, cache. no problem so far. still everything is working fine. call n etc...
but when i chk the BB version, i was surprised dat it went bck to the previous BB version - " v07u-000-000-MAR-23-2009 "

any clue friends ??

 

[Vyom]

Yeah.. i have a clue.. I think you missed this: (the last line)

Q: How do I know it worked?
A: If everything worked, you will have a working GSM (calls, 2G/3G data) with the proper ROM installed.. On stock ROMs, you can check the baseband version via hidden LG menu. It will show AMSS6150 if you flashed v20G baseband. If you see AMSS6038, then you have a baseband from v20[ABCD...] versions. If you see anything else, you have a baseband from v10? ROM. LGMDP utility also shows which ROM version does the baseband come from (see screenshot attached). Note (CM7 users): V07u-000-000-MAR-23-2009 is NOT your baseband version but some irrelevant CM7 crap.

reboot and it'll be back to 2011. O1 is confused

i rebooted lot of times since reflashing da rom. nothing changed. but call n etc.. working just fine. wired problem

 

[coderunknown]

@rizeon, remove battery and try powering your mobile directly from charger. check if anything happens. flashing screen or buttons lighting up, etc.

 

[gmg9]

baseband problem still remains.....

today faced a another wired prob.. suddenly the phone went off (looks like). i pressed hard buttons(all) many times... but no response. for a time a thought the phone just switched off. so i was trying to remove the battery. jst before that i again press a button and suddenly the phone wakes. strangely the phone was actually locked jst like normal screen locked. everything was working as normal.

it was not before i installed ICS. its giving many FC, wires reboots, now this prob. the best rom for our LG is GB whatever development continue.

did any of u feeling phone's hard buttons r not dat responsive anymore ?? like i hav to press little but harder, sometimes more than two times to execute a action on the phone.

 

[XTerminator]

cant seem to use the mobile data. even after switching back from the airplane mode. using the tinystream hephappy rom rc1. Help guys!

 

[coderunknown]

turn 3G on and off. If data is not enabled, turn data off and on again.
