The LG Optimus One Thread

[AndroidFan]

i chek with lg, they r nt provifing the GB upgrade yet, says in august or septembar.
so hw u got the oficial GB upgrade and can plz tell me steps to install it. thx.

after seeing so many custom roms threads.. i really confused..
guys plz help me..
which custom rom i should install.. i need a stable one..
i heard cm7.1-rc0 has some bugs and many things nt working.. so which cm should i install..

is there any other good custom roms i should try..

plz suggest..

CM7 ROM 6.5.5 developed by Mik is very good. It fixes most of the bugs and also integrates Franco's v18 kernel + some other fixes. Its smooth and fast with excellent battery life. I am using it currently and it is awesome...

Here is a 10-step process to install custom recovery on LG Optimus One...

1. First of all, you will need to root your phone. Install Gingerbreak -- [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread) - xda-developers

2. After rooting the phone by running Gingerbreak, install ROM Manager from the market.

3. In the ROM Manager, select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

4. Download the latest version of Mik's ROM (currently 6.5.5) -- [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][stable:6.5.4,testing:6.5.5] CyanogenMod 7.1-RC0 (Android 2.3.4) - xda-developers

5. Boot into recovery

6. From the recovery, take Nandroid backup (Nandroid + android secure)

7. Toggle USB from recovery and copy Nandroid folder to your PC. That is your backup...

8. From the wipe menu, wipe everything... Use all options...

9. Again toggle USB mode, and copy Mik's ROM zip to the root of SD Card.

10. From the flash menu, flash the latest Mik's ROM.

Reboot and you are done...

Cheers!

hey guys..finally today morning i captured da device..
as i told u its for rs. 7500/-
1. phone with rs. 250 screen protector
2. free 2gb wifi hotspot card (ozone)

and its a ICC world edition..

bt the prob is dat is by default comes with the v10c..

so my question is dat is it possible to upgrade to GB without downgrade to v10b ??

plz tell me mate from where u got @7500.
BTW what is ur lg's manufactured date?

 

[dreatica]

We aren't using the offficial LG gingerbread.Probably won't. And it ain't gonna be releasing anytime soon.

Install void #forever. IMO that's the most stable gingerbread custom ROM.

I am using official LG gingerbread No battery drain, no performance issues, and no bugs.

After updating the baseband, no network issues for me whereas I use to get 2-3 bars in office, now its stable full bars. What else do you need ?

BTW: sometimes lags in playing angry birds at last levels where is require high physics graphics or something. Rest all smooth.

Why would you want to use the official gingerbead when a STABLE CM 7 ROM is out? I really don't see the point.

 

[AndroidFan]

I have not installed official GB ROM. I plan to stay with CM7 until something better comes up. I suggest you test CM7 first.

Once you install official GB ROM, it is difficult to come back to CM7. Mik has developed a flashable zip to update basebands, but for some users, it has not worked.

It is easier to install CM7 using ClockworkMod than to install stock LG ROM using KDZ...

 

[Gollum]

Is it out for india?

 

[AndroidFan]

Is it out for india?

Country doesn't matter... its the same phone globally...

 

[siddhesh222]

hey guys how do I get back my contacts after installing different ROM's? apparently I didn't sync them with google, But I have a titanium backup...

I tried restoring contacts storage 2.2 or something like that and try to reboot... but it just hangs at red LG boot screen....I've managed to restore my SMS's and call logs using similar settings, BUT NOT CONTACTS :/.

Any help? Or Am I doomed? :/

EDIT: It actually DOES reboot properly when I remove the battery and try again, but the contacts ain't restored that way :/. ANY HELP?

 

[Gollum]

Country doesn't matter... its the same phone globally...

You mean I can install the romania rom?

 

[siddhesh222]

You mean I can install the romania rom?

Why not? You can install ROM from any country! Heck, I installed v10B of portugal when I bricked my phone few months back, and was using it for a month or something. was stable.

Hey guys after much thinking i have decided to take the safe route and buy LG optimus 1 instead of other fancy deals at this price point .
I just want know how is the sound quality via headphones , also i am going to use it with my car stereo . Also does the GPS works properly ? I am new to android OS , previously used IOS on my ipod touch 2g . Just want to know if SE w8 is a better deal for me ?

 

[Terabyte]

^W8 is a total fail device from SE. Still stuck on Android 2.1. Forget it.

 

[coderunknown]

I just want know how is the sound quality via headphones , also i am going to use it with my car stereo .

quality in headphone is good. there is not virtual surround sound as found in some Galaxy mobiles but the headphone quality is one of the best i have seen.

Also does the GPS works properly ? I am new to android OS , previously used IOS on my ipod touch 2g . Just want to know if SE w8 is a better deal for me ?

GPS is very accurate. using it extensively since a couple of week now.

W8 = EPIC FAIL.

I dont think pre-installed apps can be moved

 

[gmg9]

I dont think pre-installed apps can be moved

not talking abt just pre-installed bt post installed apps. like i installed nfs-shift,mobo player,swype,go launcher,g weather etc.. this apps cannot be moved by app2sd.

now xact this time my O1 showing 17mb internal mem left.. wat to do hw come so much mem eaten !!! i think the apps data eat so much space

and plz suggest what apps i use to root this 2.2.1 v10c phone..

 

[rohan_mhtr]

I went out today to check prices and dealer quoted Rs 10000 for optimus 1 .
I also noticed the new Samsung galaxy fit for Rs 10200 , i liked the looks and feel of it . Any ideas ? I am not that into hardcore gaming and all but a better camera and sound quality will do .

The Galaxy does have a better camera. Its also got flash. The Optimus One P500's lacks only in the camera scence. No flash
