Whats the best rom for my LG Optimus One (P500h) ?
2.2.2 stock room with root. Since the beginning I always was using custom roms, but this is my personal opinion in the past few months I prefer the stock room with root, which I can make any tweak I want, and doesn't have battery drain and bugs that some custom rooms have.
And cause many of the custom rooms are based in 2.2, and 2.2.1+ had some updates that repaired VPN that I use a lot. I couldn't be more happy with it, cause it gives me a lot of experience messing with android too.
There is no best ROM. You choose what suites you. Now, if I were to tell you that the best ROM for me is Light, would you choose it too? It doesn't come with Darktremor, so no one else except non-Darktremor users use it.
Point is, look at what the ROMs bring. Choose according to what you need or what you don't need.
However, if you want something widely used by the people here, use void/devoid or LOL or Megatron or Prime or the other ROMs with popular threads on the Dev subforum
I use the stock Rom rooted with a overclocking kernal
Very fast.
Andy's 2.3.2 Gingerbread
LOL v1.2 with fixed Kernel

I downloaded the official rom from lg website to my country and decompress it, and with this kitchen added root, and left the rest untouched.
pedroh: how can we tell version is the original ROM on LG website? Can you also share the instruction on how to install the kitchen? I am using v10c (2.2) firmware.
I do not have the links anymore, but I know how to do it, but google it is similar procedure as making your own rom.
if u stay on 2.2 use Void echo, if 2.2.2 is ur choice the u can flash Nessy.. its a good ROM . however i am using 2.3.3 andy gingerbread... though its in developing stage but i am quite happy with some bugs in it...
I'm using Optimus X rom, it has the best performance for the limited CPU frequency on the LG p500, but with a good kernel you can eeek out a extra 170MHz - 206 MHz out of the processor.
I'm running the rooted stock Froyo 2.2 and Mik's mutlitouch kernal overclocked.
I'm using my Nessy ROM!

I'm going to buy my first android phone quite soon(this week if I'm lucky), the O1 P500. Heard about the touch screen lag bug and I'm quite worried.
Anyhow, I need to know:
1)If Android 2.3(Gingerbread) is going to fix this problem.
2)What is the best android version to run (heard about shorter battery life in the 2.2.2 version or something like that)
3)Should I root now, add a custom rom then the kernel fix or should I wait for 2.3? If it's the first, what's the best rom to use?(heard that CM7 needn't the kernel fix but not sure)
I'm not quite attracted of messing with my phone right after I put my hands on it... I gotta get used to it, personalize it and install all those stylish app.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, congratulations on buying the P500.
1) Wether the touchscreen will be fix or not, we will know when Gingerbread is released.
2)The best would be 2.2(froyo) stock rom.
3) Use devoid franciscofranco's devoid rom. It has Good tweaks in it without the hassle of flashing extra files.
Don't worry after you root your phone, you will learn how to unroot it.
Latest Froyo-update (2.2.2) solved it partionally.
Rooting and flashing one of the latest kernels found in some threads sometimes give better results (for example the one from franciscofranco .
Can you explain "partionally"?
Also, is the fast battery drain gone in the latest update?
Thanks.
Honestly, it's really not that hard to root and flash a ROM.
The stock CM7 mod is fine. I'm using mik's build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and I highly recommend it.
Does beta6.3 have the touchscreen bug fixed?
Root men... ROOT!!!!
Well, I guess root it is.
Up until a few minutes ago I though I'd have to flash a custom ROM to install the touchscreen fix kernel ) Then something in my head went "click" and I realized I can just flash it to the stock rom with CR and also use SetCPU and what not.
Thanks for the answers/votes.

u made a good choice.. p500 is one of the best android phones today.. just stay at stock rom den flash mik_os kernel to fix touch bug and ur gud to go.. dats wat i did to my fone and im really satisfd hw it works! 5star to mikos!!! ur da man!

1)You can do whatever you want, there are no "basic steps"
Just i suggest you to get used with the stock rom and with android for about one or two weeks and then start rooting and/or installing custom roms...
2)No, not necessarly... You can use basically every custom rom and it will have lagfixes and overclock capable kernel...
3)What do you mean for clean things?
4)Yeah, if you keep staying with the stock rom you'll need it, otherwise when you will switch to a custom rom you will be ok
Thanks for your answer. please name some good custom rom which not buggy.

Well, you could give a try to the devoid #froyo-final or to Nessy #Jince... These two are the "simplest" IMHO... But there are a lot of good froyo roms out there: OpenOptimus, LOL 1.4.2 et cetera...
The reason why you are not getting a lot of specifics is that most of the 2.2 ROMs are very stable, fast with good battery life. It is mainly personal preference at this point.
openOptimus which uses Franco's kernel has most if not all of the tweeks in it. You would probably want to use Darktremor's Apps2SD to make use of the SD card. (A link is provided in the openOptimus thread.)
PS I can not suggest devoid.Franco as Franco is no longer updating it. Once the 2.3 source is released, most if not all development will be on 2.3. In fact, the shift has started with the leaked 2.3 ROM. The existing 2.3 ROMs are good but they have known problems/unresolved issues. I expect that these issues will be resolved over the next couple of months.

do you want to root?
Use gingerbreak apk file if you are using currently froyo 2.2.2
or use z4root for 2.2 or 2.2.1
download rom manager at market.
2. Best custom rom which is not buggy and capable to overclock. Do i need gingerbread custom rom?
mik_os' cyanogenmod 7
plus if you want battery life more, flash franco kernal and wipe dalvik cache and charge till 100percent the wipe battery stats
3. Do i need of custom rom or just need to root and install other hack manually for clean things? Please suggest me on this topic i know this will gave me more headache
if you are lazy to flash a custom rom but just want to overclocking
download overclock at market.

My issue with these custom roms
Before ranting about my relatively bad experiences with custom roms, I'd like to thank the community for its hard work to make our experience a little more enjoyable.
So I bought the Optimus One and messed with it until I recently discovered custom roms for it. I payed $150 for the smartphone so I decided to get a little more out of it thinking that I got a great deal.
I've tried several custom roms but they're either extremely buggy, drain the battery too quickly or are just not stable enough to use at times you need it the most. Now who am I to say this? Just a user. I should stay out of this and stick with stock roms if I'm not happy. Right. But I'd like to know why so many people trip over these incomplete custom roms when they take the good thing of what a smart phone should be... A smart phone! I get almost no battery life with ciaox's rom, he brags about having the most "performant" rom out there and insults people who try to create something more stable. Who cares about overclocking your P500 when you can't leave the house without charging it? I know that there are several tweaks that can be added to the P500 without even needing to overclock, which makes a noticeable difference in the UI but I can still say that battery life sucks and/or the OS is unstable.
Is there a STABLE rom that takes MINIMAL energy with more PERFORMANCE than stock? I do not care about 3d games because this phone is not made for that, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that it can be.
Thanks
Have you tried Mik_os CM7, I get good results with it, Ive never used anything by Ciaox

Hmmm.... Use the v20c from my signature? If you want to remove crapware, flash signed_decrapify_v20c.zip (attached), run
Code:
$ su
# appinst
from terminal emulator and uninstall whatever you want.
Result? Stock rooted 2.3.3, stock kernel, crapware removed.

Official GB 2.3.3 V20C, rooted with super one click, flashed cwm recovery, threw out all the crapware (if u r referin to useless apps)! ---> is this is what u meant!
Added the script above. Only for stock v20c ROM. If something breaks, your own fault.
great, is it possible to have stock kernel with just oc enabled?

hi i just bought my phone last week an I've already experienced some lag even though there's not much apps installed. so now i want to try a custom rom. what rom would be the best for first timers thanks..
If you have 2.2 installed (old baseband) than andy's phoenix rom is the best.
Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
If you have 2.3 (new baseband) than you should go for Ginger LOL:

baseband is not the android version. i wrote up a small thing on baseband here.
here is the link for ginger lol (the link in post two is actually the right link except for the four dots):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685
in my opinion, i would use andy's phoenix rom. follow these instructions:
a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
b) also, since you are currently using official gingerbread (2.3.3), you need to downgrade your baseband version, instructions found here
thanks for the info man. as i've read, most roms will eventually support the new baseband. so i think, im gonna wait a little longer for that. one more thing though. i though when i install rom, the kernel comes along with it, but as i read it seems that i need to flash my kernel too? thanks for your help.
phoenix rom comes with franco's .35 kernel preinstalled
There's no need to install other kernel.
roms using old baseband is never going to support new baseband...
DUDE I prefer, no need to root your stock rom for installing custom rom.
follow http://lg-p500-optimusone.blogspot.com/ if u want this.

quick question,
basically what are the benifits of custom roms compared to stock kies roms ?
i currently have rr 2.2 rom but appart from the looks and animations etc.. is there a difference in performance/ battery compared to stock?
its been a while sinse i have been on stock so i cant remember what it was like and i just wanted to know are custom roms more better in terms or speed/battery/power etc..
thanks

custom rom do come with there own pro's and con's u have to check the changelog of that rom to see whats different in it also some apps which do require root previlage wrks fine with custom roms rather than stock one's
stock roms do have better batt life compared 2 custom ones at the cost of customization with there dull and boring looks
thanks for your reply i guess its just finding the correct balance between customization and battery life then. cheers
go with custom
I had the exact same thoughts when i first decided to flash a custom rom.
Personally i would now flash a custom rom at the drop of a hat, however as the previous comment said there are pros and cons.
do some research on roms with functionality that you require and you'll find one you want to flash no doubt.
hope i helped
i am now running CM9 and its so smooth and looks amazing, a millions times better than stock in almost every way!
Check out the ROM and the comments which people have wrote. Some of them may be good and others may be bad.. you'll be able to work out the missing features of the custom rom bother you or not ^__^ That's how I work out whether to install the ROM XD Most ICS ROM's have their benefits and cons, Gingerbread would be considered the most stable Hope this helps you

Highly customizable. You can overclock, undervolt, theme, use different launchers. To me they're faster too.

What about if I install a custom kernel, but keep my stock rom? Is there any benefit at all?
To clarify: I'm on i19100 4.0.3 which I've recently rooted. Thinking of installing Siyah 3.5.2 but for now I want to keep my stock (Bell) ROM. What do I stand to gain when I get the Siyah kernel, if anything? Or is the kernel really *only* just a prerequisite to get a custom ROM?
Thanks!

One BIG reason I'm on stock ROM and KERNEL is that currently no custom Kernel supports MHL (please correct me if I'm wrong)
For me this is a big problem as I'm always watching movies and playing games on my TV with my phone

It's the ROM, not the kernel, that determines if MHL fully works.
Apparently video works with AOSP, but not full mirror of the display.
However, if you want full mirroring, you'll need to be on a stock Samsung based ROM.
That said, you can still run a custom kernel, such as Siyah or SpeedMod, and MHL will still work as long as you remain on the Samsung based ROM.
I'm currently running stock XWLPX with Siyah 4.1.4, and MHL works fully for me.
