[DEV][UNOFFICIAL][alpha3 online] CyanogenMod 7 alpha (Android 2.3)

2011-02-21T16:42:00.002-08:00

[DEV][UNOFFICIAL][alpha3 online] CyanogenMod 7 alpha (Android 2.3)

As peoples already compiled CM7 from my sources I will do it myself in future here.

Unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7.

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Do not work at this moment:

FM-Radio (no one enable it on bcm4325 so probably will not be able to use it ever)
Tethering via USB/WiFi

Known bugs:

~~Slow UI (usable but slower than with stock Froyo)~~(oops, it's my first build in "user" configuration and it seems fast)
~~Crash in About Phome menu until first connect to WiFi~~
~~WiFi can't get IP at some networks~~ (hopefully fixed, thanks andy572)
~~QCRIL generate too much logcat output while screen is on (need to try libs from other phones)~~ (hack at logcat binary)
~~Stuck after enabling USB Debugging (after reboot it became enabled)~~
~~DSPManager does not work~~
~~Quiet Speakerphone mode~~
~~Crash in CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU menu~~
~~With enabled electron beam animation screen sometimes still black until reboot.~~
Screen still black after unlock. Tap to update it.
Call via bluetooth headset don't work (crappy sound/mic)
Manual Network Operators Search does not work
Big battery drain with wifi on

Need to test:

Divx/xvid playback. Test files that played at froyo.

Sometimes Recovery can't format /system so you must remove all files before flashing zip (bug still here):
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system/*
You get 1 error. This is ok.
Will update if I found this bug.

Link (alpha3): cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mik.zip
Do not forget about nandroid backup.
Do not forget to wipe data/cache if you're updating from Froyo.

Minimal Google Apps (flash via recovery): gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
Other GAPPS you can download from the Market (Use Market Enabler should your country not allow full access to the market list).

Any help in fixing bugs are welcome.

New LG Optimus P500 Kernel to Fix Touchscreen Bug

2011-02-01T02:37:00.000-08:00

Well, all of you P500 owners that were suffering due to the device not exactly performing the way it should have, we have news for you. Most of your functionality issues are due to a bug in the stock kernel that causes the CPU usage to shoot up all the way to 100% whenever the screen is tapped. This basically translates into your device begging for mercy whenever you try to use it for anything, and don’t get us started on playing games. Luckily, XDA member mik_os has come up with a fixed kernel that addresses this issue and therefore brings new life to this device. The kernel itself is still being thoroughly tested, but once its finished, it promises to be that which you have been desperately waiting for.

Have you used the dev’s kernel yet? If so, please leave some feedback, particularly if you run into any issues with it.

Now hack is not dirty, just found that driver has native implementation of “sleep”.
Result: 15-30% cpu use with tap down.
DOWNLOAD it from Here

[ROM] KeruRom v1.0 - v1.1

2011-01-28T09:02:00.001-08:00

[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.

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

2011-01-28T08:58:00.000-08:00

[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:

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

How to flash:

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

Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).
Connect the device to PC, copy Megatron over to the SDcard, disconnect.
Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"
Reboot
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.

[ROM] LGP500 AmberHome V1.1 (02.12.2010)

2011-01-28T08:57:00.001-08:00

[ROM] LGP500 AmberHome V1.1 (02.12.2010)

LGP500 AmberHome ROM

This is the first ROM I have ever created and its very close to the stock one. Only some preinstalled apps are removed and some features added. I don't have the time to make much modifications so don't expect much "killer features" in this ROM.

The main intention for creating this ROM was that I was low on internal memory all the time so the main feature for me is the Darktremor Apps2SD support.

If you want to overclock, install this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866774

This ROM ist based on the original european Firmware and you can download it here:http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...00/V10C_00.kdz

For the german version of this thread look here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/lg-p500-...11-2010-a.html

Features/Changelog:

V1.1:

hardware acceleration enabled
raised Dalvik Heap Size to 40M
more complete APN-List from Cyanogen ROM
ES File Explorer added
ADW Launcher updated to 1.3.3.

V1.0:

Based on V10c EUR
Root
Superuser
Bash
Everything deodexed
All APKs zipaligned
JIT enabled
Dalvik Heap Size 32MB
Memory parameters for auto taskkiller optimized
LG Launcher replaced with ADW Launcher 1.2.0 (deinstallable)
Many preinstalled apps removed or made deinstallable
Google Maps updated to 4.7.0
Darktremor Apps2SD
Dalvik Cache moved to SD-Card

Download:

V1.1: LGP500_AH_1_1_EUR.zip
V1.0: LGP500_AH_1_0.zip

Custom status bar:
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH STOCK ROM! Your ROM needs to be deodexed!

Many people wished a black status bar (including me) so I took a look into it. The tricky part of making a black status bar is to get the clock, date and ticker text color to white. There are some tools here in the forum for doing this automatically but none of them worked for me so I searched for a description, how to make this manually. I found it in a youtube video.

The easier part is changing icons, battery symbol etc because there is the great Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. This is really great. Just click together what you want and let this kitchen cook your theme. . Most features should work but I have not tested them all.

If you want to create your own status bar feel free to extract the framework-res.apk from one of the following files. If you want to create a black status bar use the first one, if you want to create a white status bar use the second one.

These files are flashed like a ROM. (First reboot takes very long)

Credits and Donations
Though it took me some nights to create this ROM and to create the black status bar I only used tools created by others. So if you want to make a donation please make a donation to them, not me.

drellisdee for the great recovery and the first OC Kernel. Thank you very much!

dsixda for the great and simple kitchen. Everybody can create a ROM with it. Thanks very much!

The team behind the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. This makes it possible to create great simple themes. Thank you very much.

And a big thanks to the others who developed the tools I used. Mainly: Windows Enabler, DZExtract, unyaffsmbn, nandroid, ...

[ROM] Prime v2 (android 2.2.1, stability-oriented)

2011-01-28T08:55:00.001-08:00

[ROM] Prime v2 (android 2.2.1, stability-oriented)

Well, here's one more ROM for you guys: Prime. (Optimus Prime, hell yea!)
It will be the twin brother of my other ROM, Megatron. However, whereas Prime will be focused on stability, Megatron will go for raw power and performance instead.

That being said, this is a ROM based on the 2.2.1 firmware where bugs like the sdcard unmount were supposedly fixed. It has been cleaned of most of the crap and has also been tweaked with the usual h4x. I daresay it's the most stable ROM for LG P500 so far. If you want a speedy one, check out Megatron.

Features:

v2:

extended apn repository
tweaked values for mmf
there was one more thing but I forgot

v1:

root + superuser
APKs deodexed + zipaligned
apps2sd + dalvik2sd

performance tweaks: (JIT, hardware acceleration, etc)

applications removed: Twitter, Facebook, LG Home, Think Office, Netlog, Twitter, Music and Video player and some other craps [4]
applications added: Doubletwist (to play music and video), File Manager (imported from CM), Message Flasher (blink the physical buttons when you have sms unread) and the awesome LauncherPro

added tri tone notification sound and marimba ringtone (imported from iPhone)
changed boot animation to a more cute one

fixed buggy WiFi
fixed lag

Requirements:

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

Having read the feature list above
Root (check thread)
Drellisdee's custom recovery (check thread)
Class 4 SDcard or higher (bench it with h2testw)
Prime (download it here)

How to flash:

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

Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512)
Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).
Connect the device to PC, copy Prime over to the SDcard, disconnect.
Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"
Reboot
Read important notes below

That's it.

Important notes:

* If you have problems running any h264 video or game, it is probably due to stagefright. To correct this, grab the application root explorer somewhere. Run it and give it superuser permissions. Go to /system/build.prop. Click r/w button. Long click on build.prop and select "open with text editor". Look for some line that talks about stagefright-player. Switch to false. Save and exit (menu button). Reboot.

* Do not flash the custom kernel or any other tweak.

* Miss CarHome? Download it here. Miss Thinkfree Office? Download it here.

* Can't partition your sdcard? Flash anyway and download this app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/a2sd-fro...antq.a2sdFroyo (credits: zeule)
