I searched around the forum and I haven't found a set in stone explanation for this sort of thing... Are the custom ROMs and kernels made for the Optimus One compatible with the Optimus T?
I have a stock 2.2 rom on an LG Optimus T, and I really want to delve into custom recovery, custom roms, and so forth... but I'm afraid of bricking my phone due to compatibility.
Any information regarding the differences between them would be great help, and I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of an Optimus T thunderg recovery or a thread of Optimus T related customizations.
I'm really looking forward to this forum, it seems like everyone really knows their stuff, thanks in advance
As far as I can tell, they are exactly the same phone except due to the region and network they are released on, they have a different codes. (Such as O1 is p500, and OT is P509) I have tried to use custom recovery from Optimus T, and I can confirm that they work perfectly fine, whereas when I tried Optimus S, it failed several times. Roms are interchangably, since I have seen the same ROMs available for both phones.
I'm own the Optimus T phone and it runs the devoid rom for the p500. I have had no issues, but then again, I didn't install any of the optional modules. The recovery I'm using came from another site.
Optimus T (p509) is functionally identical to the Optimus One (p500). All roms, recovery, themes, etc meant for the Optimus One will work perfectly on the Optimus T. I have an OT and running void rom for weeks with no problems.
Optimus S isn't compatible with these roms because it uses cdma instead of gsm.
Also, welcome to the forums!
Something's different between the two, because 500 users report reduced battery life with Joseph Mother's 509 roms, and vice versa with 500 roms on a 509. All software will work between the two, however.
Will test OT roms to see battery life for myself. I've always wanted to try out ThundeROM

thanks for asking this, I was about to start a similar thread but you saved me the trouble A friend of mine has the OT and i'm trying to learn as much about it as I can so I can give him the best possible experience.

Could it be the difference in the base Froyo version used by each device?
See links:
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2655&c=lg_p509_optimus_t
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2485&c=lg_p500_optimus_one
Either that, or bloatware on the stock ROM could be causing the comparison skew?
W-CDMA 1700 band support on P500 via baseband flash ?
Optimus T P509 (T-Mobile USA) supports W-CDMA 1700 (aka UMTS band IV aka AWS-1)
Is it possible to enable this band on other models such as P500 or P500h ?
What are the differences between P500 P500h P509 in:
- hardware
- nvram settings
- baseband image
- ... ?

If it is, can we somehow include this device, and the Optimus T in the Optimus One section? Maybe you can just take the "One" out of the name and/or not add "All" in it's place?
It's not the same device but it has similar specs.

yeah, when I say the same I mean in terms of running all the same stuff. Like if a ROM works on one, it works on the other. I'm thinking this should be the case; almost certainly for the S and T (just stands for carrier), and I'm thinking for the One also... with exception to the radios. I'd love to see people try that out to see.
I might be getting the Optimus S for my wife if I don't manage to get the Transform on Black Friday. If I do, I'd be willing to guinea pig it.
10 days and no answer? Does anyone at least know of a board that is doing custom roms/root/etc on the Optimus S/T?

andriodcentral forums has a section for the optimus s with root custom recovery and a rom
Thanks! I'll go check it out
optimus s i not like the optimus one p500 its a different device, optimus T is the exact same as optimus one p500.
no optimus s is just different on the outside.. it is nothing but the optimus one in reality
Optimus T & One are the same, S is similar but won't accept the same flashes, etc, because since it's a cdma phone it has the msm 7627 where the T & One have the msm 7227. Happy now?

lol, "Happy Now..".. xD
that just cracked me up
its all good.. all good
Made me laugh when I typed it. But I like laughing at stupid things.
I just ordered two optimus T phones, can I use all of the roms and roots and stuff on this site for the optimus one, on these optimus T phones?
Thanks!

I thing that you can. OT seems to be T-mobile customization only of P500.
Since I cannot post in the dev. forum yet I suppose this is a general question.
I see that today Ubuntdroid RC1-Optimus T has been released. Currently I am running JoeMomRomv1-Optimus T and enjoy it. Knowning that most Optimus One and T custom ROMs work on either device (noting that some folks have had issues with battery life leading some to believe that there may be more hardware differences between the two phones) I would like to know if any other Optimus T owners prefer specific custom ROMs for their devices?
I'm on T-Mobile in the US and am overclocked on JoeMomRom OC'd to 729MHz right now. I am most interested in a bloat free ROM with Wifi Calling enabled. Anything that can be installed from the market is not needed in the ROM imho.
On another note as I have not seen anything on the JoeMomRom topic in the dev. forum is it safe to assume Ubuntdroid is going to take over from where JoeMomRom left off?
I'm on void, works great (no bloat). As for the wifi calling, I can see about extracting it from the stock v10l ROM the T ships with.
Yeah, JoeMomRom is dead. If you check the thread, Joseph updated the first post and said so.
I'm satisfied with JMRv1 enough to keep using it until (if) CM7 comes out for our phone.
Hey there guys I'm new to the forums but I've been using android since the G1 launched. I just got the LG optimus C and I know it's nothing powerful but it does the job and runs netflix pretty well now. Well I have it rooted now with Gingerbreak and was wondering if anyone has gotten a custom rom running on it yet?
I managed to turn swype off (big fingers dont mix with swype on this screen) and I changed the home screen, disabling the LG one. But I would really love
to get CM running on it like devs have managed to get running on the V and other optimus devices.
I apologize if this is in the incorrect area, I knew the phones were similar on a hardware level so it was the closest I knew.
Anyone had any success or suggestions?

Have you found a recovery program that supports it? I don't see it listed at http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html
Someone claims to have gotten one going.I forget the name but it begins with an X. I know the custom optimus roms just need to be tweaked slightly for this device. Unfortunately I suck at custom roms, better at psp coding. If anyone wants to port it i'd be so grateful i'd donate.

I know that drellisdee/getitnowmarketing worked on bringing the Amon-Ra recovery to Optimus T and other Optimus flavors. You might contact him.

ok, so my friend wants me to flash a ROM to his Optimus T for him but i have a Galaxy S 4G so i haven't dabbled in the Optimus ROMs so any suggestions on what ROM is the best?
I think p500 roms are compatible
i want suggestions of good ROMs, not compatibility
Deviod final
no longer availible
I'd go with a cyanogen rom myself. Seem's to work pretty good on mine and i've used them across several platforms. The one for this phone has several bugs at the time of this message however.
I like mik_os' unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
I've been running it several weeks, and pretty happy. My biggest complaint is it makes your phone think it's a P500, instead of a P509, so the t-mobile apps don't work and some apps aren't visible on the market that should be.
Other than that, it's been real solid.
I'm about to try a new one that is P509 specific that's based on his rom, but with T-Mobile compatible changes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072252
I'm assuming you've looked through the "[STICKY][REPOSITORY][UPDATED] Repository of HOWTOs, ROMs, MODs etc." at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
Hello i recently bought an lg chic and have been looking for custom roms that support it. Sadly i have only been able to find one, Cyanogen 7.2.0. I flashed it to my device and it works, but the rom is still in beta stages (being ported) so its kinda buggy.
My friend has an optimus one running lunar ics. The optimus chic and optimus one are almost identical phones, so would I be able to flash lunar ics to my phone without bricking it?
In my experience, unless a ROM maker specifically mentions that your phone is supported by their build, you would be very unwise to try it out.
Given the speed with which people are coming out with ICS ROMs, you would probably be best served to wait, or get a different phone.
They are not the same.
Even the slightest difference makes a huge difference.
Don't try it.
alright thanks alot lol, i guess ill just have to wait for the rom to be updated some more
