@black pearl - Take ur O1 to LG Service Center.

@Gollum - Good rating for v20b. But v20g has got lot of bug fixes compared to v20b. Have u ever tried v20g ? It seems GB V20g comes preloaded in O1 at Romania. Will it be available officially in India ?

offtopic - @ Gollum I liked ur art work of Emma Watson

v20g Romanian is the one with all the bugs. it was the first one to be released too.

the Indian ROM does not have any bugs for this one is for Indians and Indians are not to be messed with

thanks for the comment on the sketch
i'm gonna make Johnny Depp from pirates of the Caribbean next. just don't have a computer screen to take reference from

wanna buy an amd fusion based NetBook but they cost 20k and i have saved up only 3k. might sell my optimus one if needed. but i can say that i will miss this phone if i do end up selling it.

Thanks for this clarification as I was thinking on the other way round .

With tablets getting very cheaper , why do u opt for netbook ? For big screen or for OS ?

[Gollum]

os and hardware. nothing beats windows in terms of usability. also i can't make digital artwork on a tablet. those apps on a tablet are in the stage of infancy right now.
tablets don't have a usb port, where am i gonna connect my pen tablet or portable hdd. tablets don't even an rj45 port.
in reality, tablets are just for show off. they are just oversized smartphones which are difficult to hold and are hard to work efficiently with.

Well, after 3 days the GPS started working again, all by itself. I have no idea what happened.

The bluetooth I fixed by installing a different bluetooth stack on my PC, and the WiFi was restored too after fiddling with the settings. Surprisingly, the previous settings which were working fine refuse to work now.

Why did this happen?

[Neo]

fu*k the LG service.
its been about 2 weeks now and no word when i will get it back.

this is precisely why i didn't give my phone to service for dust under screen problem.
i feel your frustration bro. these service guys should get some sort of firing to get the job done

[pratik385]

i hope someone like mik port the ICS to p500.. would be a real fun..

A few apps will be ported. Maybe a decent ICS launcher will be available...

But there is no hope of seeing ICS on outdated hardware...

[sam]

ICS will come to HTC WS & LG ON for sure. and maybe CM8 will be ICS based. hope some DEV make it work but as androidfan has already mentioned, some apps will be ported for sure.

[AndroidFan]

See Music 4.0.1 for ICS... it was leaked a couple of days ago and is quite good...

Review please... Main questions:

Does sliding on the status bar control brightness?

Does touch-to-focus work on the camera?

I will also upgrade tonight...

Cheers!

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Ya sam, don't forget to put your experience.

[sam]

yup. sliding your finger on the status bar increases brightness in small steps.

touch to focus? how to check that?

other important points:
camera can be muted
volume key does't zoom in/out camera
battery backup is lot better
new lockscreen (modified froyo)
1 new CM theme
a lot of settings pre-configured.

will list more if i notice

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Hey guys, any way to get rid of new market?? It got updated automatically. And it's slower like hell. I just try to assume if this is the case in WiFi how would it perform under EDGE.

[sam]

try this: applications> manage applications > market > uninstall update. that should revert market back to the 2.x.x

under EDGE it takes almost a minute for the first of the WP7 like block to appear

[Gollum]

can't be done. it keeps updating every time i remove it. also keeps updating Bollywoodji even if i de-select allow auto update.

[funzuloo]

not able to save a screen shot in new CM7 update.....same for all?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Thats really ridiculous. Same problem for all.

Screenshot works fine with me... I am on Mik OS 6.5.8 CM 7.1 with GBS kernel 18a...

[nj_gamer]

Hi All,

I've been running Mik's CM7 port for quite some time now, I want to upgrade to 6.5.8 I have a few doubts regarding it.

1)Do i have to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache? or just the 2 caches would suffice? I'm currently running francisco's 19.4 kernel, so just confused about what to wipe. I don't mind wiping everything. as i've backed up most of my data.
2)I'm using Link2SD and i've stored many apps in the ext4 partition of my microsd card, How do i back up the apps stored in the card, I use titanium, but will it restore the apps to the ext4 partition? or do i install Link2SD and do the linking again?
3)I'm using amon_ra's Thunderg custom recovery, should i change to clockwork? If i have to, then how to i remove amon_ra's custom recovery and replace it with Clockwork recovery?

Hope i was clear enough in describing my questions.

Cleaning both the cache should suffice but better clean data. After flashing 6.5.8 if you want you can flash any kernel again without any problem.

2)I'm using Link2SD and i've stored many apps in the ext4 partition of my microsd card, How do i back up the apps stored in the card, I use titanium, but will it restore the apps to the ext4 partition? or do i install Link2SD and do the linking again?

No idea. Wait for others to respond, as I don't use these stuffs.

3)I'm using amon_ra's Thunderg custom recovery, should i change to clockwork? If i have to, then how to i remove amon_ra's custom recovery and replace it with Clockwork recovery?

Nope, you don't need to change your recovery. Flash it using Amon_RA.

Hope i was clear enough in describing my questions.

@krishnandu.sarkar
Thanks for clearing the doubts I'll wait for others regarding the Link2SD part...

The reason why i asked about Clockwork recovery is because Mik's instruction on updating the newest google apps is via clockwork, is there a way to do it via amon_ra thunderG?

[Natasha]

ohhh!! it looks stunning!...may i please know the price and is it an Android phone? ? ?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

@nj_gamer Generally people use CWM, and for newbies installing it is most easier, as it can be installed automatically using ROM Manager without any need to adb and all.

So generally dev's over XDA refer to CWM.

[sam]

not able to save a screen shot in new CM7 update.....same for all?

i can.

but i have a BIG problem. raise the minimum frequency to 480 & BAM!!! kernel panic. & now i was using Internet on my PC through USB tethering & suddenly kernel panic again. don't know whats wrong. will reflash the rom. also battery backup has gone down a lo after i calibrated battery once.

or switch to TWRP recovery. flash it using amonra recovery.
