The LG Optimus One Thread

@sam.shab yea after 48hrs batt came down to 15% n a msg came to plug charger den i finally plugged the charger...i used wifi atleast for 6-7 hrs out of 48hrs but yea i did'nt use it continuously i turned it off wen not in use...

[bharathbala2003]

are you sure? cause as i heard WiFi is the only feature LG O1 looses badly to its competitors. it drains the battery empty very fast.

It does use a bit of the battery but its not that bad.. infact i installed a custom rom last night and the battery back up is much better.. been on wifi or 3g with music player for almost an hour.. and few calls.. i still have 80% left after 8 hrs!

@NainO i installed Astro File Manager worked fine.. can easily backup downloaded apps now.. thanx alot !

on stock rom you are getting good battery backup. try Void echo & you may get 3days battery backup.

i know. custom roms are always better & usually light on battery. mainly cause all the unnecessary processes are cancelled out & also some custom roms are optimized. not just code & throw.

so finally an Android based mobile that can openly compete with Nokia in the battery backup section.

BTW, anyone of you heard about any new midrange (below 15k) mobile from LG, based on Android (except the Optimus me)?

Is anyone facing problems of gallery not opening after we do a factory reset......
& what is the solution to it.. ?

[NainO]

^^^ sometimes it takes longer (or much longer) than usual time in fetching and creating thumbnails of images.

[ksrsngh]

Thanks for Telling
Bt is there any way of speeding it a bit

anyone experiencing battery issues with megatron ROM ?... I just downloaded and switched back to stock (nt reovery.img ... downloaded fresh V10C) ... and guess what, all the LG crapware is gone .... so awesome ....

prefer stock cos of the battery only ... heavy wifi user (on for at least 15 hours a day and does not go into sleep also) ...

BTW, anyone tried the Gingerbread ROM ?... cam and radio still not working ( also found a bug during screen unlock ) ... not fit for daily use yet

What issues you faced? did u overclock it beyond default megatron speed? i m very satisfied with battery.. 14 hours and still 65% left

I'd suggest not to try gingerbread rom until a fully stable version is released

[k4ce]

^^ well i dont exactly know what went wrong ... stayed at 729mhz ... first few days were fine ... and then battery went downhill ... would barely get 1 day ...

switched back to stock last night at around 12am ... 48pc battery after bootup ... 13 hours later ... have 34 pc left ... includes 20~40mins of voice calls ... 2 hours wifi (no sleep) ...

i was trying out the gingerbread rom to assist in identifying bugs ... cos anyway, need to do a clean format before going back to stock ... anyways, came back to V10C ... will root, get custom recovery and flash my own ROM ... started making it now ... as close to LG ROM as possible ... except LG HOME and stuff ... gonna incorporate the touch screen fix as well ...

[pratik385]

hey can you list ROMs available for 01
and please describe it, give its advantage and disadvantage. . .

I am using Stock ROM and iam satisfied with it getting battery back till 1.5 days on heavy usage. I used gprs always on, angry birds and other games played for 1 hrs, videos for half hour, browsing internet, gtalk, facebook, music, playing with apps and used advance task killer...

But still i want to try another ROM, kadya karne ka mazza hi alag hai
but can we roll back to stock ROM....

[bharathbala2003]

^^

I am not sure about features of all the roms..

but megatron is a pure performance oriented rom.. it removes ur stock lg rom n apps and gives u replacement with what is needed for the rom to function.. also the processor is overclocked to 729mhz from the stock 600.. (u can oc it more by installing a fresh kernel having stock rom too)...

the void rom is something that gives u more flexibility i suppose .. but the procedure is bit more complicated for a 1st timer..

personally i use the megatron rom v1 and the custom 1.1. kernel by mikos and find it amazing.. in terms of usage as well as battery life..

oh btw even if u afraid to install custom rom i would suggest u install the kernel so that you don't use ur processor too much.. check the net for more details on the lg touchscreen bug..

and finally yes u can revert back to ur original stock rom as well

[sam]

^^ well i dont exactly know what went wrong ... stayed at 729mhz ... first few days were fine ... and then battery went downhill ... would barely get 1 day ...

did you turned on hardware acceleration?

anyways, came back to V10C

why V10C? it can't be rooted or you using some prerooted rom or rom of different country.

flash my own ROM ... started making it now ... as close to LG ROM as possible ... except LG HOME and stuff ... gonna incorporate the touch screen fix as well ...

all the best. looking forward to your rom. a custom+stock hybrid.

hey can you list ROMs available for 01

theres tons of ROMs avl for LG O1 (from XDA as well as other source). read through the notes provided by the modder & pick the one that suites your needs.

if you want a overall balanced rom (close to stock), i'll say get Prime.

do a Nand backup. so you don't need to run the KDZ updater which bricks more mobiles than it updates.

[siddhesh222]

Guys, now there's a touchscreen lag fix out!!!. If you're on any custom ROM/stock, go into setCPU, place your hand on the touchscreen for a while, and after 1 sec it'll use 100% of the clock speed.... which was a major problem for games as well as normal usage...

But the cool guys over at XDA have made life easier for us by fixing it . milk_os has released a custom kernel which fixes it and now the processor usage goes to 50% max and that too after holding it for ages....which is a vast improvement imo.

So I advice everybody to either install the custom kernel or get the new void # echo, I guess everyone's on #delta.

Gonna test out myself now and report!

[utkarsh009]

hey guys ! what is the difference between
firmware upgrade and installing a custom
ROM? which of the two is more risky (as for
bricking the phone )? which custom rom is
best for getting best graphics perfomance
and speed ? how do i install a custom rom?
will i be eligible for a gingerbread upgrade
by lg if i install a cusom rom?

[bharathbala2003]

^^ a firmware upgrade is provided by the manufacturer to solve any previous bugs or improve the phone's performance.. and has a a very very minimal chance of bricking..(almost never)..

a custom rom is nothing but a user edited version of the OS (android) which is streamlined for speed, battery life etc.. for installing a custom firmware please refer to xda forums.. i use megatron rom.. and find it easy to install n use.. let me know if u need more info on that.. also once gingerbread is out u can install that over the custom rom altho i feel the guys at xda will give a better version of it!

@sidd, i had previously quoted about the kernel update by mikos.. i have been using it for over 30 hours now.. and i find it great.. the cpu usage has decreased from 100% (when tapped) to under 30%!! this means no lag in games (or very minimal).. there are no known issues that i face.. everything seems to work great..

[siddhesh222]

EVERYONE INSTALL THE TOUCHSCREEN LAGFIX NOW. ITS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO OUR PHONE.THIS HAS PROBABLY CHANGED THE HISTORY OF ANDROID PHONE DEVELOPEMENT; WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL FUTURE ROMS FOR ANDROID PHONES

lol well not really, but it's super awesome.

Ok so tested it out, it's so awesome!!!!!! Dungeon Hunter, NFS Shift all work super smooth with no lag whatsoever.

@bharath

I tried it in SetCPU, put my hand over the screen, after 8 secs it went to 320 ( min is 245, max is 729) then returned to 245 . What did you use? setCPU or something else?

[bharathbala2003]

^^ I use android information.

[k4ce]

For all those ppl who want to root and are on V10C or higher (OneClick Root going into loop), use KDZ to go back to V10B ... Download V10B firmware from here

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AINDHW/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz

(I'm sure most ppl know it... In the interest of all those who dont)

[utkarsh009]

can we uninstall the preinstalled apps on rooting the phone temporarily with z4root?

[ksrsngh]

Hey what do you mean by hardware decoding.. Please tell some more about it..

[bharathbala2003]

@utkarsh009 yes you can.. use titanium backup..

[k4ce]

looks like everybody s fed up wid bollywoodji

[sam]

Hey what do you mean by hardware decoding.. Please tell some more about it..

it should be H/W acceleration i guess. check again.

[allenmobis]

looks like everybody s fed up wid bollywoodji

At least I'm happy with HTC Desire having 1GHz processor, flash support, 5MP cam and LED screen

Dear All,

I am a newbie to what Android has in its womb to deliver. Moved from Symbian(Sony P1i) to Froyo (LG Optimus P500) recently and still getting amazed by the features and the applications what Android has to offer. Many of my doubts have been answered already in this particular thread.

I do have one query though: Somehow i am still struck to Messaging interface of Symbian( plz forgive if i sound stupid). Is there any way of configuring my Messages in the Old Symbian Way like Inbox, Sent Messages , New Folders etc. Moreover don't want thread messaging features as well ?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Aks

[NainO]

^ SMS Composer

^ SMS Composer

@ Naino,

That was quick and bingo reply. Thanks

It would have been an ideal solution to my problem if it would have allowed me to create a specific folder to move few choosen messages. SMS composer lacks this functionality.

[NainO]

^ well with even the cheap-o phones migrating to threaded views, developers have lost their interest in developing apps with traditional symbian view or you can say non-threaded view

[pratik385]
