3 ways to format:

1. Format the card from your phone
swap 0 ext 0 remaining -all

2. If you use Linux, its easy to format the card as Linux can read ext partitions.

3. Through win- use sd formatter v2.0. It can format the card to original state i.e. remove ext.

thanks. saved it. will use it if i need.

Download Angry Birds Rio... it is smoother than the original angry birds.

One of my favorite games is Armored Defense II (lite). Highly recommended.

You can download the apps you would need. Handcent is a nice group SMS app, but I have not used it.

I also have Mr. Number to block phone calls and SMS from unwanted numbers.

Then there is the regular Twitter, Facebook, Skype apps... Nothing much else yet...

Cheers!

I already flashed the andy kernel to mik os, and there was not a such improvement as I thought. Might andy added patches to lib and build.prop. Have to test it now.

settled down with GB Milk_OS Beta 5 ... Although Andy's had slightly better battery, Milk_OS is a pure CM rom ... something that Optimus One never had ... so will stick to this for a month ... just praying that I hit the 24 hour mark ... wiped battery stats ... will update battery life in a day or so

Different opinion now after using GB/CM7

Yes ... any ROM will hwacc will have battery issues ... Upgrade to GB only once a stable build is out there ... else battery drain will be massive ...

 

[k4ce]

Different opinion now after using GB/CM7

Same opinion ... It's just that I am itching to try something new ... thats all ...

And one question, how did all my apps come back ... I just flashed the rom and app2sd (and left the data connection running) ... all my apps came back (at least the ones installed from market did) ... how ?... never happened before ...

This is the feature of GB All the apps will automatically be installed through market, once you restore/format your phone i.e. even the paid ones

PS: Google backup your phone settings including wifi wpa etc keys. Once you restore the phone, they all will be back too.

You can disable that if you want from settings.

Thats sweet ... Just what I want .. So I can keep jumping from one beta version to another ...

But how could it download so many apps so quickly using my slow EDGE connection ?..Hmmm ...

And maybe we both should start a separate thread for our conversation ... the most active members here ... anyway .. battery down to 75 pc ... but it downloaded and installed some 30 apps ... so guess thats fine ..

May be you are using 3g Battery is better than froyo (HW on, JIT on etc) in this build until you don't use 3g and maps.

Separate thread ?

I found the cm7 beta 4 and megatron were almost similar when it comes to battery backup.. beta 5 drains quite a bit more.. no wonder lg takes so long to release the 2.3 update.. most of their kernel sources are buggy and they are waiting for one of the xda gb roms

LG is a large company. They can provide stock Gingerbread on O1 if they really wanted to. All entry-level androids are using the same chipset and gpu combination... If part-time hackers on XDA can do it... LG ought to do it better.

These Korean companies don't understand the importance of software...

wiped battery stats

what it does exactly?

WOW. another reason to try GB over ageing Froyo but....... will wait till a fully stable release (out of beta).

BTW, both GB based roms have HW acc on?

they are waiting for one of the xda gb roms

to distinguish their mobile from the others. but sadly, these very skins take the toll on their mobiles. why don't they buy Launcher Pro & use it freely.

These Korean companies don't understand the importance of software...

they do understand but not the common man. most will look for the best H/W & also which theme looks best (HTC Sense). these software bugs are found way later & most are small. like SD card unmounting for 8Gb cards, lag when typing fast, etc.

what it does exactly?

A recalibration is mostly needed, when dealing with different kernels

Here is how ya do it!

1. Enter Recovery Mode
2. do a full nandroid (or nandroid+ext) backup
3. Enter "Wipe"-Menu
4. do "Battery stats wipe"
5. reboot

Also :

Calibrate your Battery

Calibrate the battery by completely draining it until the phone completely shuts itself off.
Turn the phone on again and let it shut itself off one more time.
Then charge your phone while it is off for over 8 hours.
This will fully charge the battery so that when the Android is turned on, it now sees the battery as full.

It is recommended to repeat this process at least one more time.

You should see a significant increase in your battery’s charge life.

Calibration of a battery can be done at any point and a maintenance calibration is recommended every month.

They are more intent on releasing new phones rather than updating the little old models.. in fact even their optimus 2x and black will be running 2.2 and not 2.3! thats like a step backwards in terms of software.. in fact the latest patch they released consists of a kernel made by an xda member.. so you can see where the gb release stands.. one can only pray andy and mik can sort out the bugs soon so that lg will release the official gb

 

[k4ce]

May be you are using 3g Battery is better than froyo (HW on, JIT on etc) in this build until you don't use 3g and maps.

Separate thread ?

Hmm ... I don't even have 3g plan enabled ... And maps are not installed ... I know the issues with maps (especially if you have enabled latitude) ...

Anyways, battery has lasted for a day on moderate use

Pros of GB:
1. Performance is better
2. The email app ... it finally syncs with my corporate mail (on foryo, I was using enhanced email)

Cons:
1. Battery
2. Google backup has restored by contacts 4 times over (so my contact book is a mess)
3. No divX ...

But I think I shall stick with it .. for a while at least ...

I understand your frustration but releasing an update is not so easy .... and it is better to have an optimised version of the OS rather than the latest (read HTC Incredible S which runs froyo) ...

And yes, I only pray Andy and Milk_OS do it cos they our fone will finally have a proper CM rom ...

3. No divX ...

2. You should edit your contacts @gmail and then sync, it would be much easier I dont save my contacts to pc sync, all goes to gmail and had no issues whenever I restore backup from google server.

3. Try mobo player.

PS: Andy released another update for 3g/wifi battery issue

Oh man ... I wish Milk incorporates em ... I like Milk's ROM more cos it's proper CM7 with Cyanogen menus and stuff ... Tempted to flash ....

I would prefer if the Divx playback was incorporated as then I can directly play my vids using DoubleTwist ... The only multimedia app that I like ..

just now flashed Mik's v1.1 kernal over Void. so battery wipe required? or am i good as it is?
