The LG Optimus One Thread

[Candlestick]

Hello

Whenever i try to connect my LG Optimus One using PC suite, it gets connected in the beginning, but after 1 or 2 minutes the phone gets disconnected.

Then again it gets connected and disconnected. Because of this, i am not able to update my phone's firmware. I did not root my phone. I don't want to root as of now.

I have installed USB Drivers from SD Card.

Also, LGMobile update tool says that there is an update for my firmware, but i am unable to update because of frequent disconnection of phone.

P.S. - I am not using USB Mass Storage mode.

Can anyone help me?

v1+ is based on official GB kernel
v18.1 or lesser= froyo kernel with patches to make it compatible with CM7/GB.

thanks for the info.

If you flash reading the instruction its safe. Some people are too lazy to read the instructions and then blame that this method is risky.

yes. thats true. but i'll wait for for a week or so for a preview of what Andy is working on. then decide if i want to LOL

@Sam
I flashed franco's v1 kernel for gb on void forever. The performance was slightly better. Quadrant scores were almost the same. And I got blackscreen bug when I wake phone. So I advice u wait till he releases a bug-free version. I restored my backup and back to v18.1

yes but my main problem is the battery backup. it is coming down day by day. in just about 8hrs, battery went down by 9% while on standby. so franco's 18.1 kernel didn't help. anyway i'll be at home for a week so won't do any flashing stuff till Mik or Andy or Franco brings out a new kernel/rom.

PS: using Andy's GB.

You didnt have to be rude

Lol really ? I was not rude

Anyway thanks for your opinions

NP.

Andy coming up with a new rom based on official Gingerbread ?

My battery backup is excellent with Gb rom, 1% standby for 2-3 hours, data 2g always on, twitter,facebook,gtalk. May be you need to recalibrate the battery after flashing the kernel.

he'll surely dump the CM7 based GB for some other build as the links to the earlier rom is now gone.

i have wiped everything except ext partition 2 times & still battery is the same. will recaliberate battery but i feel i need to reflash the rom in order to fix this problem.

Maybe I just read too much into it, chuck.

Im really excited abt miui saw its videos on youtube. Very impressive interface.

@sam wipe battery stats, reboot, reflash your kernel, wipe batt stats, full charge and try to discharge completely before u charge again. Battery life went down for me too after I restored my backup. Improved considerably after I did this. But still not as good as before,or maybe Im just playing too many games lately

i think i need to pause movie & have a look at miui. everyone seems to be excited about it, except me.

yes. will empty battery. haven't done it for quite sometime. maybe thats the reason for the fast draining of battery.

mobile gaming has gone down for me temporarily. now shifting to watching movies in PC.

so, is it possible to flash miui rom on our lgO1 as the supported device list shows only 5-6 phones which nt include lgO1....

 

[guru_urug]

@gmg9

Yes miui is essentially not fully opensource. So very few devices are completely supported. Its like HTC sense(vague analogy). But there is always a way to decompile sources, get apks and somewhat implement it. Even cm7 isnt fully supported by O1. But devs like mik,andy worked on it and ported it to our device. But porting miui is tougher since there are limited sources. Many threads on xda say how it wud not be possible to port miui to our O1, since its only for hdpi devices and tht sources wont be available. Now on xda 3-4 new devs are working together to port miui to our device. This is after miui was somewhat ported to galaxy 3(ldpi screen,lower device). So I guess our devs felt it wud be possible to port it to O1(besides being matter of insult ). Currently the rom is still in its primitive stage,it doesnt even boot It may never be fully ported, but just the interface,icons, apps maybe. So its like getting a feel of miui on O1, like using chinese iphone instead of apple iphone .It will look and feel same but inside it will be different

i feel porting the rom will be hard. some got lucky with G3 but with O1 there will be problems as they need to fix the kernel to work with it. or maybe bring in a different kernel from a mobile having similar internal to O1.

what ext partition are you using?

2. wat /nandroid/ contains, is it system created forder/files or wat ??

the nandroid backup.

3. wat is .android_secure?? do i need to bckup this?

this stores most of the android files. when you install an app & choose install to memory card, this is where the files go.

4. wat r things i shld bckup exactly through CR so dat when i restore, it shld restored to the xact same state ??

Nand + ext backup (maybe)

So its like getting a feel of miui on O1, like using chinese iphone instead of apple iphone .It will look and feel same but inside it will be different

seen the video. well, CM7 looks better. doesn't it?

 

[gmg9]

what ext partition are you using?

i was nt using any etx partition. dats why its giving error. nw all is ok.

this stores most of the android files. when you install an app & choose install to memory card, this is where the files go.

thx..i took this as bckup too.

Nand + ext backup (maybe)

wat ext partition is for ??

few posts back i asked a question abt pin2 code for lgO1. anyone tried to reveal it ??

 

[AndroidFan]

^^ Ext partition is used if you use A2SD scripts... It is not present on your SD Card by default. You have to create it...

I don't use A2SD so don't have that partition either...

a2sd...it will move all my apps to sd card..right? bt whats wrong with fat32.. why ext partition has to be created.. fat32 can hold all apps.

I don't use A2SD so don't have that partition either...

so, wat do u use ??

 

[AndroidFan]

A2SD is not a requirement. CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread has a built-in "Move to SD Card' option. Its not as effective as A2SD scripts.... but is good enough for me...

The method is correct. I have tested it... Working 100%

You need Root Explorer to access data/local which is in phone memory, not in SD card. Make sure your phone is rooted first...

OFC MY FONE IS ROOTED!!!
im running miks os(6.5.5) on my fone!!!
there is no file called local in d data file in my phones memory!

 

[guru_urug]

Access it using root explorer. Also one person on xda created a windows program to preview,backup and push boot animations to phone. I don't have the link now since im on phone and out of Mumbai. Will post it here on Wed when I get home
