[ROM] KeruRom v1.0 - v1.1

[ROM] KeruRom v1.0 - v1.1

---

UPDATES:

Theme fix update Anim Vers. - MOD EDIT: Link removed due to warez: Same as below, flash unsigned. Fix only, not full rom, recom. to flash on top of ver 1.1. Contains a few desire UI animations (dropdown menus etc).

23/11/2010 - Theme fix update Lite Vers. - MOD EDIT: Link removed due to warez: Flash it via recovery, unsigned.
This is a fix only, it's not the full rom. Recomended to flash it on top of 1.1 ver.

-Ver 1.1 MOD EDIT: Link removed due to warez <- Rom & Patch: if you have ver 1.0 on, just
flash this one on top of it, without wiping. All your data WON'T be lost.
Jit Enabler (Credits to drellisdee and getitnowmarketing): Flash this MOD EDIT: Link removed due to warez from recovery.

What's going on:

Testing a new flashlite lib, modded. Recompiling an AOSP 2.2.1 for P500 and adding some features.

ORIGINAL POST:
This is my first custom rom ever, so it is my first one for lg p500 as well.
ATM this version includes a few custom apps, a cyber boot animation, root and nothing more.
Flash it if you want to try, it's not safe 100% so I'll take no responsibility if you brick your phone.

Instructions:
1. Root your phone using SuperOneClick or manually.

2. Download drellisdee's Custom recovery here (credits to him; recovery's at 1.1.0 version). Extract the zip and push the .img file in your sdcard root.

3. Download this archive containing flash_image file. One extracted, push (via adb or usb mass storage option) it on your sdcard root ( /sdcard/ ).

4. Since lg P500 doesn't have FastBoot (hidden? ), once you've rooted it, connect (USB Debug option must be enabled on phone) your device to you pc and run this commands via adb shell ( command to enter in shell: adb shell):

Code:

su  mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system   cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image   chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image   mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

Now you have the flash_image file on your device. To flash recovery,
write this via adb shell:

Code:

  flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-thunderg-RC2.img

Now you have your custom recovery ready to flash zip updates.

5. Download the Rom zip from MOD EDIT: Link removed due to warez and push it (without extracting it, of course) on your sdcard root.

6. Boot your P500 in recovery mode (From turned off, hold down: vol+, home, power keys) and wipe your device selecting wipe menu-> wipe data factory.
This is because rom's not wiping itself.
Wipe done, select flash zip from sdcard, select the rom zip file you just downloaded before and confirm.
Wait till all done and reboot.
Enjoy ^_^

[ROM] Megatron v1 (experimental, performance-oriented, beta kernel)

[ROM] Megatron v1 (experimental, performance-oriented, beta kernel)

---

Well, here's one more ROM for you guys: Megatron.
Why the name? Seemed only logical considering the name of our device, Optimus One.

It's basically a ROM tweaked for performance while retaining a decent battery usage. Also, with this ROM, you won't need to flash any other tweaks.
I daresay it's so far the speediest ROM for LG P500.

Features:

v2:

• to be updated

v1:

• root + superuser + busybox
• APKs deodexed + zipaligned + png-optimized
• apps2sd + dalvik2sd [1]

• performance tweaks: (JIT, hardware acceleration, etc) [2]

• includes drellisdee's custom kernel [3]
• kernel repacked to set onboot the scheduler to interactive (tweak)

• applications removed: App Advisor, Layar, Twitter, Facebook, LG Home, Think Office, Update notifications and Twitter [4]
• applications changed: Genie widget (now transparent), Music (imported from CM)
• applications added: Titanium backup, File Manager (imported from CM) and the awesome LauncherPro [5]

• ringtones, notification and alarm sounds added (including iPhone ones)
• changed boot animation to a more cute one

• auto-overclock to 728Mhz and possibility to easily revert (minitron tweak) [6]

[1] Rather than move_cache_sd program used in another ROMs, I use another method for moving dalvik-cache to SDcard since sometimes using the aforementioned program won't work successfully. It's a known issue of Dsixda's kitchen.

[2] Heapsize: 32MB; without a doubt the best value.

[3] Check the original thread here and if you can, buy him some beer.

[4] I left CarHome due to popular demand.

[5] Titanium backup will allow you to uninstall any system application and to backup the ones you install. LauncherPro is in my opinion, way better (performance-wise) than ADW.

[6] As far as I've read, 728Mhz is stable for everyone til now.

Requirements:

In order to flash this ROM, you'll need on your device:

1. Having read the feature list and notes above
2. Root (check thread)
3. Drellisdee's custom recovery (check thread)
4. Class 4 SDcard or higher (bench it with h2testw)
5. Megatron (download it here)

How to flash:

First, reboot into recovery via 3-button-combo, ADB, terminal, w/e.

1. Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
2. Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).
3. Connect the device to PC, copy Megatron over to the SDcard, disconnect.
4. Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"
5. Reboot
6. Read important notes below

That's it.

Important notes:

* There were some reports on other ROMs that battery usage was very high, especially on standby. While this ROM should perform better, it won't still have as good battery usage as stock ROM mainly due to the scaling governor being set to interactive. Also because of this reason, benchmarks could be slightly lower. I however promise that the overall experience and snappiness will be quite satisfying.

* I've made an easy and friendly way to decrease the clock back to stock 600Mhz. Instead of needing to use SetCPU, you just need to create a folder in your SDcard called "minitron" (without the ""), then reboot your phone. Your clock will be now back to 600Mhz. If you wish to revert it to the default 728Mhz, just delete the folder and reboot your phone again. Since the voltage is the same for both clocks, battery consumption should be around the same too. If for some odd reason, you get a boot loop, it means your phone doesn't support (*gasp*) a 728Mhz clock. To avoid a boot loop, go back to the custom recovery, toggle sdcard-pc connection and create the "minitron" (without the "") folder. Reboot, should be fine.

* Remember, you won't need to flash anything else. Everything's here.

As you already know, I cannot be held responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone by following these instructions. Every step taken is of your entire responsability.

Testimonials:

* "I noticed that the phone was another! much better performance! I did all the tests and there are no problems!"

* "This Rom is just... Amazing!!!"

* "Feedback: working nicely untill now. So far so good - the best ROM yet"

* "Great work , phone is workin faster and booting 2times better now great work."

* "So far I can say it is arguably fast. Phone is super snappy and responsive."

Time to see for yourself.
Just remember, it's still an experimental ROM.
