Ok.. after days of planning and being frustrated by the never-ending 'no-memory left issue' I think I am ready to root my baby now.

Quick research on XDA showed me that the best app to try is GingerBreak. I will try that, once I make a backup of my SD card, since it says card may get format during the process.

Btw, isn't it ironical that to use Titanium backup the phone should be rooted. But in the process of rooting even card may get formatted!

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Just keep backup of the card. And card won't get formatted..!! It's just a warning which never happened to anyone. But just for safety reasons take a backup of card.

And Titanium backup does diff thing, so it needs root permissions.

[Vyom]

^ So you are saying that if I copy the entire contents of card to a folder on computer, and then even if card gets erased, I can restore the functionality of apps (that depends on the card) just by copying the files back from the folder to card, and it will be like it was never formatted in the first place?

Really?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Yes...!! Somewhat.

Do that just not only for apps, but mainly because of your data.

And Titanium backup does diff thing, so it needs root permissions.

a good example is kicking out bloatwares & crapwares. those are system apps & only an admin (superuser) can do it. hence it needs root.

Really?

yup. when you run any app that have its data transferred to memory card, it'll look for the data in a folder named android_secure. if not found, app will show blah blah blah error. hence just make a backup.

So to flash another ROM, can someone list the necessary steps to backup? And also how to restore once the ROM is flashed... i know there are NAND backups, titanium backup and all.. but still a refresher would be awesome

Download A Series or F Series ROM's if you want them later. They are going be obsolete

Because N Series is going to get Official Support

So to flash another ROM, can someone list the necessary steps to backup? And also how to restore once the ROM is flashed... i know there are NAND backups, titanium backup and all.. but still a refresher would be awesome

1. Backup SD Card.
2. Root.
3. Install Recovery.
4. Nand Backup
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash GAPPS (If not provided in the ROM Itself)

In Recovery there is option to restore NAND Backup.

N.B. : If you want all your apps in your New ROM, then Install Titanium Backup and take a backup of all the user apps after Rooting (Step 2). And then take a backup of your SD Card again, as titanium backup will store the things in SD Card.

WOW. TFS. really exciting news. this means ICS for our mobile? can you ask this in the thread @ xda?

err, krishnandu i think what he said was there won't be update for old baseband anymore.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Ya, that's on the first page. Other two ROM's are going to be obsolate. Just browse from the last.

That's why he changed it from ThunderG to KANG otherwise CM7 won't accept it.

No ICS for now. A guy asked him, and he got hyper. Let him finish the bugs and get the official support first.

We worked a hard 6 hours or so and got most of it done tonight, just a couple of outstanding bugs: slow graphics, audio redirect and the camcorder doesn't record.

However all the other basic functions work perfectly and the plan is to get it finished tomorrow evening. Then the official CM7 celebrations can commence!

well so no more .32 kernel?

That's why he changed it from ThunderG to KANG otherwise CM7 won't accept it.

please explain a bit about this. i have read the thread from last page backward & what i get is, O1 will get update straight from Cyanogen team? so no more porting & all?

thanks for the links. checking

That's right. No more .32 Kernel. No more Old Baseband.

ThunderG is the name of the board, as the codename for Optimus One is Thunder and "G" stands for "Global" (P500 is the global model of the phone).

KANGs are nightly CyanogenMod builds.

That's right, O1 will get update directly from CM Team. Probably, it'll be developed by Adfaaad, he's going to be recognized CM Developer.

Each device is handled by diff. dev. teams.

Wait..!! Let me search the link

Got it..!!

yes, most likely adam will be added to Team Cyanogen. but only 1 guy developing for O1 well i just wish somehow out mobile get ICS finally.

Each device is handled by diff. dev. teams.

but usually each device got 2-3 DEVs working on it.

I said probably. So may be CM Team will also look upon it. And may be other dev's will be there too.

That was just my assumption. Let's see what happens.

We may get ICS, there is a chance. As far I know, many dev's are working on h/w acceleration thing to get it fixed. I read it somewhere.

And who can say, after getting it recognized by CM Team, we may get CM9 too..!!

some rough talks.

Yeah

[Neo]

Hey ..thanx Krishnadu.
From where the hell do you get all this information. Do you Keep surfing all the day or what ??

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Ya I'm subscribed to XDA Dev and Discussion threads

I browse them regularly..!!

[Vyom]

Sorry but I have one last doubt before I root. The procedure at XDA states that phone should be in debugging mode before I try gingerBreak. So does this mean, my phone has to be connected to computer also through the cable while I execute gingerbreak apk?

Please also tell in what other scenario does the phone should be connected to a system, if any. One such possible situation is I think, when we need to update firmware and while using KDZ updater. Any other cases?

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging. Turn it on.

And run Gingerbreak. No need to connect it to PC.

[sam]

And who can say, after getting it recognized by CM Team, we may get CM9 too..!!

if some really old mobiles can get support for CM9, so can our mobile too.

Please also tell in what other scenario does the phone should be connected to a system, if any. One such possible situation is I think, when we need to update firmware and while using KDZ updater. Any other cases?

when you wish to transfer your favorite album to the phone

when you are updating OS through kdz updater, updating baseband, rooting official 2.3.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Let's wait and watch

[Vyom]

I am having a problem. In one of the steps, its written that get the gingerbreak apk onto the phone memory somehow. But I am unable to do so. Browser automatically download the apk to card, and when I use Astro to copy file to phone memory, it says, permission denied!

[sam]

just run the apk. forget copying & all. if you are paraboid, connect mobile to pc & transfer the apk.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Guys, keep an eye here for the progress..!!

BTW another good news..!! Mik is alive..!! He finally replied..!! Check the above link.

[Vyom]

Ok.... Phew...

I finally gathered the courage to hit the root button on Gingerbreak... and now my first step is Complete!!

Now before uninstalling the FALTU apps I will take a Titanium backup. And I am following this guide, if anyone's interested: How To Use Titanium Backup For Android [Complete Guide]

Man... I feel so relieved now!! Thanks Sam!

don't uninstall apps & all. instead install custom recovery & make a nandroid backup. i have done this uninstalletion thing once & mobile began lagging a bit. so once nandroid backup is done, in case of any emergency (that requires taking mobile to service center) just restore nandroid backup & all those faltu apps will be back

you are taking help of a guide just to uninstall apps? well when i rooted & installed custom recovery i needed to type 5-6 big LOC using terminal after placing 2 files in root of memory card. absolutely nothing was provided if i need to unzip the file, or place it in a folder. i was so tensed as whats gonna happen.

anyway its good to have your doubts cleared. it doesn't takes much effort to brick your mobile or break the recovery image file.

[Vyom]

No I was taking help to get to know all the features of Titanium backup.. anyway, you didn't think I was going to take even a slightest chance of bricking my baby, did you?

Well, technically I did take a chance while rooting the device.

So, I will also take a Nandroid backup along with Titanium backup. And I am sorry that you had to take such risk while you were trying to install custom recovery. But I am getting advantage of not being the first one to try it...
That's it!

no other alternate was available. had to use terminal emulator or adb (had no idea how to set up adb). even clockwordmod didn't supported our mobile (i hate CWM. it almost bricked my mobile once ). in that process read many many guides & almost whole P500 section in XDA.

well you can take backup using titanium backup but first backup using recovery. and if possible, flash a different recovery after using CWW. use amonra or TWRP. once i tried taking nandroid backup using CMW. & recovery image (or something similar broke). fast boot started & mobile just won't go past LG logo. this happened a second time after flashing a rom using CWM. altogether dumped CWM.

[chandrudme]

You flashed right kernel. O2 v2 is .35 tree kernel based ROM.

So did it finally boot to O2 or not??

Otherwise you can try flashing the kernel again.

If it's black screen bug that you are talking about, then use Live Wallpaper to get rid of it.

The problem is phone was not booting.. Juz only a black screen.. I reflashed O2 gain in recovery and phone started working.. but the battery last oly 6 hrs.. thinking of switching back to O2 V1.

[sam]

keep using the rom for 2-3 days. wipe battery & calibrate if necessary. but some have already complained about bad battery backup whereas some are getting more than a days backup.

more than a day?? i think they keep the mob switched off
anyway i'll continue it till this weekend..

[krishnandu.sarkar]

After calibrating / wiping battery stats it discharges faster. And gradually it starts giving you good backup..!!

Anyway, I don't like .35 Kernel Tree

BOOM!!
