The LG Optimus One Thread

[AndroidFan]

Huh? That was quizck. Modding so soon? Well a factory restore will do the trick of fixing performance loss.

Pc suite is in mem card.

Thank you Sam.

I tried modding VOID Echo. Could not do it. Need help from the community.

Anyone who has modded Void Echo, please help in decoding what the people in XDA are saying.

I have downgraded from Froyo 2.2.1 Build V10C to Froyo 2.2 Build V10B. Then, rooted using z4root.

Cannot understand much after that. See Void Custom Rom thread - [ROM] void. (#e,modules) | devoid. (#y,minimalist) - updated! - xda-developers

Instructions

Carefully follow each step exactly as described:

* If you have updated to official 2.2.1 you need to downgrade your version to 2.2 (check thread, if this doesn't apply to you, skip this step)
* Root your device (check thread, if you've already done this, skip this step)
* Flash drellisdee custom recovery (check thread, if you've already done this, skip this step)
* Reboot into custom recovery (through 3-button combo, ADB, Terminal)
* Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), convert to ext3, then ext4
* Wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik-cache, ext, android_secure)
* Toggle PC-usb connection and copy the downloaded zip you wish to flash into the root of your SDcard; unplug afterwards
* Flash void.
* Reboot

First problem -- Could not flash drellisdee custom recovery. Need help. If this recovery console can be reachedm then I guess it could become easier to mod.

Please help...

^ U need custom recovery ... without custom recovery, not possible

1. Root your phone using One Click Root. Check if root is successful by checking for the 'SuperUser' icon in menu.
2. Follow all the instructions and install drellisdee custom recovery.
3. Now reboot in recovery.
4. Create an ext2 partition of 512mb in custom recovery (swap: 0)
5. Convert that to ext3. (also wipe cache, dalvik-cache and android.secure)
6. Connect it in USB mode and paste the Void*.zip file on SD Card.
7. Flash from zip in custom recovery.
8. Reboot and enjoy.

If you have problems, specify where exactly the problem is by pasting screenshots or typing the problem ... right now, ur statements are way to generic to identify where you are going wrong

try the latest build of andy GB rc2, you will never go back to froyo. I am running it like a charm with a2sd darktremor. After installing 150+ apps, phone memory is still 190mb+

PS : FM radio (And it might never work in GB), USB tether doesn't work. For USB tether you can use third party apps

Are you talking about CM7 beta 3 by milk_os?... IMHO that's the only GB ROM available for O1 ...

Tried to install custom recovery but was unsuccessful. Phone has been rooted. Removed crapware using Titanium Backup.

Need a link to Custom Recovery. Tried to install recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img from Custom recovery Optimus One P500/Thunderg - Android Forums but could not do it. Need help.

I believe you are having problems with the adb and su shells. bcoz thats the only thing u need to understand to install custom recovery.

Use these links. set up your adb and android sdk. Enter the su shell and type the commands given and you ll be done with custom recovery.

I just flashed void echo using these.

And i must say that the ROM is impressive and the increase in performance is noticeable.

 

[coderunknown]

@AndroidFan, tried using terminal? also you need to unzip both the flash_image (add .img to its end) & recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to your memory card, not inside any folder.

OR

try this: ROMTools v2.3.1

Are you talking about CM7 beta 3 by milk_os?... IMHO that's the only GB ROM available for O1 ...

the 2nd one is the CyanogenMod7.

paste the two files on ur sd card and then open terminal manager and key in the following

# 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
(this step is not necessary .... might not work)

# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img

# reboot recovery

I did the rooting, custom recovery by this method....I found it straightforward and easy. Also has pics to guide you....I used the method A to install custom recovery..It saves you the trouble of typing on the phone and making mistakes. Try it...and ask if u have any problems or doubts, dont rush...do each step carefully.

[GUIDE] How to install touchscreen fix - xda-developers


P.S: the method A described in the tutorial requires chrome to phone .apk which is no longer available on market.
dwnload from link below and transfer to phone and install.

No mik version has bugs and it cant be used for daily purpose until those bugs are resolved. Try the andy's GB also available @xda. That one is working fine with smooth and speed.

No bugs at all except fm radio doesn't work (I never listen to FM) and you need third party apps for usb/wifi tether. I am using it from 1st day and now after rc1, its awesome and even angry birds doesn't lag in 50-60 levels (complex levels) which was a prob with froyo (void, megatron, nessy, lol v1.4, any rom you name it, I hv tried all )

# reboot recovery

I was missing flash_image file. Finally, found it and have successfully installed Void Echo...

But I have lost live wallpapers in the process... Any way to bring them back? No matter how many live wallpapers I download from the marketplace, they don't show up...

I tried installing ADW launcher as well, but still no live wallpapers...

What keyboard are you using with optimus one ?

 

[AndroidFan]

What keyboard are you using with optimus one ?

Earlier, I used standard android keyboard. But after installing Void Echo mod, I have Gingerbread keyboard.

When I purchased my phone yesterday, I installed all the benchmarking apps so that i could later compare the performance with OCed mod. So, my results are here...

Pre-Modding Stock LG Froyo 2.2.1
Linpack- 7.425 MFlops
Quadrant – 463 – Above Xperia X10, Below HTC Desire
Neocore – 31.8 FPS
BenchmarkPi – 2916 milliseconds

After Void Echo OCed to 729 MHz Froyo 2.2
Linpack - 8.9 MFlops
Quadrant – 555 – Above HTC Desire and Nexus One, below Samsung Galaxy S
Neocore – 51.3 FPS
BenchmarkPi – 2230 milliseconds

But the sad thing is... no live wallpapers. I want them. Can anyone please help?

which third party app is to be used to enable tathering on Andy's Ginger???

 

[guru_urug]

^^^Use easytether for usb tethering.

@dreatica: after reading ur prev posts, I upgraded to andy's gb rc1
Must say its quick and stable, except for a few bugs.
With the default kernel in the rom, I guess the touchscreen bug exists since I see the cpu load go to 100% on touch.
I flashed miks v1.1 kernel and prob still der.

Pls tell me which kernel to flash.
I was using cavemans v1.0 with void echo and that was the best one IMO. shud I flash tht?

 

[MasterMinds]

I am having. battery drain issue with Andy's rom. anybody else is having????

[coderunknown]

^^ z4root (to root the mobile), titanium backup (to kick the crapwares out), android watchdog, SE Arc launcher (just try once. if you experience lag, uninstall it). then the next step is to install custom recovery followed by a custom rom.
