Hi, I just bought an Optimus One P500 from Letsbuy and got it delivered yesterday.
I didn do anything freaky and tested the Battery Life of the same.
After first Full charge for 3.5hrs, I started using the phone.
The phone lasted almost 22Hrs ( 6.30 PM -> Next Day 4.30 PM)
All the default apps and settings were maintained, I didn change any.
Usage Scenario
Phone Calls - 50 Mins
SMS - 150 +
Wifi Browsing - 1hr
Music playback - 15mins
Video Playback - 15mins.
As I was checking out various features of the phone, I always used ma phones display except when I slept.
Now before I go tweaking and rooting the phone I need to know few things.
1. I am planning to Root with Gingerbreak as ma phone is 2.2.1 wid V10C firmware. So what are the Risks invloved in Rooting. Does this void warranty?
2. What all are the Apps I could safely Remove from my Phone via Rooting. I dont want that Vaccine Cleaner or any Bloatware in ma phone.
3. My Phone memory got decreased to 155 Mb from 170 MB, I didn install any app. Just synced ma Contact list wid Facebook and Gmail. What may be the reason?
4. What should I do to increase My phones Internal Memory other than using App2SD?
5. Any problems when updating to 2.2.2 after rooting? Any issues with 2.2.2 ? Does it solve any current issues ?
phone is less laggy with 2.2.2
if you root you void your warranty
after routing you can remove any app that came pre loaded with your phone.
to increase internal memory you can move the applications to sd card, some applications may not move to sd card. low phone memory does not hamper the performance of the phone. applications run/load faster if they are on the phone memory
One thing you should know is that the sdcard which comes with phone isn't very good, and it can be automatically unmounted sometimes. This is because it's a class 2 sdcard.
So you may want to buy a class 6 or higher sdcard. The more the class, the best performance you get.
Reply to question 4
You can try clearing cache.
Search for cache cleaner on market.
thanks for the fast reply. are you sure Rooting will void warranty. i hav read that the phone can be brought back to the original sTate and thus it won't void warranty. i would like to know a final word regarding this.
if we remove an app after rooting can the phone brought back to factory state.
Also i have say 6 albums n ma picasa so if i sync it where will these pics get stored? i dnt want ma phn memory to be filld up by pics.
It is possible to flash original software back on your phone using kdz updater which will remove the presence of any customization on the phone(root, custom recovery, custom rom etc.) And make your phone appear unmodified for all practical purposes.
Read the following thread for instructions -
HOWTO] Rooting, Installing -Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
During ur initial days of use of ur phone, battery life will be shorter. That will change and the battery life will increase in a few days. Happens with all new battery. And if you plan to u use stock instead of custom ROM update ur phone to the latest V10E before u root ur phone. This is a root able version with Ginger break.
Rooting your phone would void your warranty but you cal always unroot using the latest version of Gingerbreak so that wont be problem. I suggest you upgrade to 2.2.2 and then root.

when you root ur phone.. you can always flash a custom rom for more internal space abd better performance.. try mik_os Cm mod
Thanks guys.
So I will post my status as of now.
I rooted using Gingerbreak
Installed Move2SD Enabler and set default location to Memory Card(2GB)
Installed Rockplayer Pro
Installed PowerAmp Pro
Installed Terminal Emulator
Installed Juice Defender Ultimate
Unrooted phone using Gingerbreak
Now My Doubts are :-
1. Am going to Update to 2.2.2 as I am currently in Unrooted State. Any issues with that ?
2. I really wish to remove all that Vaccine, Bollywood, Picsay, LG adviser, LG App Installer etc from my phone for ever. But If I remove them, can they be recovered. Also if I Uninstall using Titanium can I later Upgrade to Gingerbread when Its released by LG.
3. What is Custom recovery. I read the guide and every stuff here, but I still got that confusing. What are the uses of loading custom recovery.
4. Is custom recovery of any good for me ( I dont intend to use custom ROM now) Is it important to do Custom Recovery for Stock Roms ?

1. Don't think there will be an issue updating. But u should have done it after updating as there has been some who's been saying updating after rooting has been a lil tricky. Try this thread for more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041528
2.You can remove them. Don't think there will be an issue. but try freeze option to be safe. I removed all of them accept for LG adviser and install. No problems.
3. Custom recovery is similar to the BIOS of the computer. U can use it to wipe all the data from ur phone memory, Install custom ROM, etc.
4. U don't need it if u plan to only use Stock.
Thanks, as per your advice I unrooted and updated my Optimus One to V2.2.2 aka V10E.
And now I rooted again with gingerbreak and removed bloatware with Titanium Backup.
Can you guys suggest a Startup Cleaning software as we have MSConfig in windows ?

Hi, I'm a new user but hey, android is familiar with me lol Okay, for your questions, these are your answers!
1.Rooting basically allows you and apps to access to important system files. One thing good is that it allows you to set CPU Speed and other stuff.(Go Market and search for 'root'!)One thing bad is if you accidentally delete any file (Oppsies!) , then your phone risk getting BRICKED So, make your decision wisely! (p.s. I rooted mine!)
2.You can remove everything you want but remember, your phone can stop functioning if you accidentally maybe uninstall like...market? It's really your choice
3.Usually it is due to some stupid cache, go market download 'Cache Cleaner' or something like that to clean the cache.
4.For this question...Apps2sd is ur best bet but you can try link2sd too . Jkjk, to increase your internal memory, you can:
1)Do Q2 (Uninstall system apps lol)
2)Take apart your phone and install another chip or something like that
3)If above options do not work for you, use Apps2sd or Link2sd!
5.Based on my opinion, no, rooting does not affect update. Issues? I'm not sure but one thing is for sure, your choice!
I REALLY HOPED I hELPED YOU! Gotta continue my Optimus one gamee!!!!

Hmmm....Go market and search for startup auditor or autorun lol
There's cache cleaner that is packaged in void echo rom. You can set time for automatic cleaning of cache say every 3 days etc.
Other system related stuff that comes from that rom include:
Watchdoglite >> monitor running apps that eat too much of your cpu so you can end it
Spareparts >> let's you monitor what apps eat your battery
Setcpu >> with this you can overlock your phone for best performance or you can set it to your desired frequency for battery saving purposes. Depends on what you want
Fast Reboot >> this automatically restarts all your apps/running backgrounds without needing to reboot the phone
Thanks guys you saved the day. I installed Startup manager but it lists only a few stuff. Anyways did some tweaking and happy as a clam.
Thank you guys
Custom recovery not necessity if u don't want to flash custom rom.
You will be able to update from LG if u have just rooted and removed some bloat.
All the bloatware will come back if you upgrade.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
1. Not really. Once you root, you will learn how to unroot
2. You can use System app remover. (market)
3. Could be the cache of Facebook and Gmail.
4. Well the first thing is to remove cache that are built up by storing the web and youtube.
5.No , I rooted from 2.2.2 10E and I claim that was the best decision I made so far.
I recommend you to flash fransiscofranco's Devoid rom , efficient and newbie-friendly. However you need to flash custom recovery first to flash anything. If you need help , pm me.
You can thank me by pressing the thank button below.
@ danialrocker
I dont wanna move to a Custom ROM now.
@ All
Is it necessary to calibrate battery after upgrading to v10E or 2.2.2, does an update via LG s/w updater alter the battery calibration values and should i calibrate it again ?

Hi all,
I have a mini pro/U20i running Eclair, specs as follows;
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build no: 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted, xrecovery installed
I'm looking to upgrade to the latest stable android version available for my phone, but must admit the in-depth tech talk does go over my head a little when looking at the ROM threads. I have enough tech savvy to be able to flash etc, but not too great with the programming speak.
I'd like to ensure that bluetooth, wireless, root, gprs etc are all 100% working on the ROM I upgrade to. Not bothered about radio or anything you can get an alternative of from the market.
From what I've seen gingerbread is available but not yet 100% functional, and I know there are stable Froyo versions available however the requirements state the baseband as above, but ending in 53404015 is required.
Is there considerable risk flashing a ROM if my baseband is slightly different?
I'm particularly looking for stable multitouch too, but the thread I read says manual edit of .sh and .prop files must be done - and I don't know how to do this
Dev and user opinions would be muchly appreciated.
Hi you will need the newer baseband just update with seus then you will need to reroot and install xrecovery again then once you have done that go to this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 ) its the most stable I think and dual touch is included so no messing around
Hope this helps you
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
just use the flasher and baseband files from the baseband thread. much faster and easier than using seus and rooting again. just put the rom you want on with xrec, pull the battery out, flash, and youre done! shouldnt take more than 10 minutes once you know what youre doing!
For me, using SEUS is safer, even if I have to root and install xRecovery again.
I you want the most stable ROM with all functions working, you have to choose CM6-MiniCM hybrid noOC from Slade.
I'm using that ROM since he released it and never had a reboot, and everything is working.
If you have stock rom, you should format SD card.

yeah using SEUS is better... and you can reflash after you update using it....
after root and xrec, just make a backup on xrec so you can reflash to 2.1 back... and dont waste time on reflash+root+xrec again.... i did that save lots of time
ps: make sure full wipe+dalvic clear before restore backup... ^^

Yeah, I did it too, but never needed that backup I flashed with SEUS last, when I first updated to slade's ROM
Temes
Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM/CM6v2) - v2.0 + DualTouch is the most stable ROM for me. Just flash using SEUS or flasher to get the required baseband.
I recommend using the flasher because it helps you understand the flashing process. Just follow the tutorial.
Thanks for all your help guys, that's helped me out no end
I am now the proud owner of an x10mp android 2.2.1 (went with Slade's ROM - big thumbs up, it's beautiful!!)
I have one final question.. when I installed the last ROM I had, I used flashtool, so doing it with xrec was a new experience for me... I did notice that before it installed the rom, it said 'formatting /system' or words to this effect.
I need to install the two hotfixes that are posted with the rom - the drain and browser ones... do I package the files within these zips into an update.zip and run again from xrec or can I transfer the updated system files just using root explorer? I'm worried that xrec will take the update.zip as a full rom and will delete the contents of my system folder - please reassure me this isn't the case and it will just update with newer files!
MANY thanks again for your help and advice!

Just use each from xrec, it will replace some file but it won't format your system, only the big release file does that (100MB++).

It depends what formatted, deleted or owerwrited on update script. Don't worry, slade knows what he's doing
Anyway DON'T TRY TO FORMAT YOUR SYSTEM WITHOUT INSTALLING NEW ROM!!!
Just always follow install notes and everything will be fine.
Temes
Right then, an update (excuse the pun!)
I followed SEUS to get the xx 4015 baseband
I flashed Slade's noOC rom and then hotfixes using xrecovery
I now have a happy 2.2.1 android mini pro with multitouch!
At first, it was a little slow and I had a few blank screens and FCs....
Screen brightness was very low even when I was actively using the phone, so I unchecked the auto display option and set a brightness I'm happy with. Sorted!
With Titanium I restored my backups, including my wifi connections. Saves having to re-enter all the passwords right? Wrong!
I had a number of connection issues. Data was very slow, to slow to even register my google account on market. Wifi wouldn't load market or bring up anything in the browser...
When I did establish a fast enough data connection, market was completely out of sync with my phone apps.
Turns out the data connection just needed to 'warm up' along with the new android system. As for the wifi, I removed all my connections with the 'forget' option, and manually scanned and entered the passwords again. Now my wifi flies
So all in all, a very smooth upgrade process, a couple of hiccups with the data/wifi and brightness that have been ironed out, and now I am loving my new android again. The multitouch is very slick and having superuser, jit and xrec preinstalled is just brilliant! Games are lag free too which makes a big difference (yep, I'm an Angry Bird club member)
Think I've made my iphone user hubby a bit jealous. I like to remind him every now and then that apple have him by the balls, and he has to buy a whole new phone to do any update such as the one I've just done (again )
The battery drains a little quicker than on the previous rom, but I expect that will settle down after a few days. One thing I have noticed is that I'm repeatedly ending apps with ATK that I hadn't even opened - on my last rom I'd never see anything that I hadn't opened myself.
An example being, just opened ATK and I have the following running;
APN OnOff
Gmail
Maps
None of these I've opened since I last ran ATK Other repeat offenders are Browser, google search and camera,
Any ideas? WhatsApp used to open randomly until I moved it to the SD card. It's behaving itself now.
Don't need to use taskkillers in 2.2.1, android handles battery quite efficiently.
Battery increase is due to overclocking and because it's a custom rom.
Hope that helps.

My battery life has stabilised now. Took phone off charge about 8.30 am and now, 1.30pm it's at 83%, so can't complain
I find apps such as maps and google voice/search do drain the memory quite a bit so still prefer to use atk. Just opened atk to find I have;
maps
handcent
apn OnOff
gmail
google voice
ROM manager (I've never opened this since installing the rom)
calendar
camera
all running and memory at 41M. Killed apps and memory now at 71M
Is there a way to stop these apps from randomly running? Apart from a calendar alert for today, I haven't manually opened anything from the list
cheers,

Sorry for ignorance:
Can I flash a rom and do all the nec. stuff from Ubuntu? Or will I need Window$ to flash a mini pro?

It's normal to have applications taking up memory. It is so that it will be speedy in opening those apps so try not to use a taskkiller. The only time these idle apps use battery is when there is CPU usage: so check with your spare parts. If they don't use CPU, no need to kill.
If you're insistent that the apps are frustratingly persistent, then freeze the app using titanium backup. Note that freezing certain system apps may cause problems eg freeze google talk and market won't work.
Try at your own risk.

if you are using cmw you should be able to just flash it over. be sure to wipe data/cache and format. I flashed energy 6.5 from cm7.
ya im jus on the weekly AOSP one and needa upgrade b/c i sound robotic to ppl on the phone
yeah I had the same problem. I love miui but I cant stant the battery life. It will drain itself while being charged. if you do get a full charge it wont last more than 3-4 hours. but whats funny is I can play 3d games for hours at a time and I wont die

Then you have this BUG!
Android OS bug, :
(thanks to ceriko ! and his awesome guide for DarkyROM 10.1)
If your battery drains very fast and your battery stats mentions Android OS above 10%, often between 40 and 60%, sometimes more, this is the best to do as far as I know:
- Remove the 2/3 system files as per the beginning part of this guideguide about batterie issues.
- Install WatchDog and open (I set it to "moderate", then I close it, that's all), this app will warn you whenever an app or a process miss-behaves by draining the battery excessively. It will not fix it but just flag it and you will see a notification.
- Reboot usually stops the drain for a while until it naturally comes back, so reboot whenever you see Android OS above 10% and rising or after you see WatchDog mentioning "Suspend" process using too much battery (the suspend process hanging is the Android OS bug).
- Some apps trigger it, most common are Gameloft games (blame Samsung, not the games/apps). No need to use apps or games for this drain to happen, it also happens straight after boot once phone has been fully charged.
This bug can not be fixed by anyone but Samsung. Some never see it, some will experience it everyday no matters what they do... It's just annoying and unfair but that's the same on all Gingerbread releases by Samsung (JVK, JVB, JVO, JVH). Apparently even the SGS2 has this...
And if you are already on a miui.us rom or ENERGY then to update just:
1.) Wipe dalvik
2.) Wipe Cache Partition
3.) Format system
4.) Flash Latest ENERGY
5.) Fix Permissions
6.) Reboot
7.) Let settle for 6 minutes
8.) Reboot
9.) Enjoy!
Robotic voice only effects incomming calls.
Heres what to do:
Connect call
hit the "speaker phone" button 2 times
then say hello (or whatever you say when you answer)
It is a known bug on all aosp roms for Vibrant
Wired headsets or blue tooth DO NOT suffer from this bug.
Hope this helps you.
O ok thanks that does help. Least u know i cant fix it

People do realize that these steps completely wipe the system before installing the new version, right? This is NOT an upgrade of your existing install.
I upgraded from Bionix 1.3.1 to the latest MIUI. I did not care about saving any setting for apps or anything. I made a list of apps I will reinstall afterwards. Problem is a have a ton of folders and files I don't need. Don't know what I can delete.
What are the absolute minimum folders/files that will show up after a clean MIUI install?
OR
How can I get the stock recovery back so I can reinstall the stock ROM?

i would recommend formating your SD card then following the steps in the guide linked below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14xGkh3BuU1OYR6eYY0XAk6BoRHsQAPWEHeVSJ1HcioI/edit?hl=en_US
that way the only folders on your SD are the basic essentials. and your applications as they install will make the required folders they need.

Format SD from CWM? There are a lot of format options in there.
Hello to everyone;
To start with I suppose I must introduce myself:
My name is Manu from México and I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace since three months ago.
During this time I had played with it and its stock ROM with 2.3.4 from carrier Telcel, I rooted it and removed bloatware from the carrier, the result was really nice; even thou after some apps the internal space run out, and therefore the responsiveness of my phone also got cluttered.
About a week ago or so I decided to go beyond and flashed "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" so I tested it for a while and even thou I found many improvements, many bugs were unbearable for the phone use I’m used to; so I switched back to a Stock Rom and flashed "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem.
In addition I did this process to Deodex + root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048&highlight=DEODEX” the result in my personal opinion is very good, but I’m back to the beginning. IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR INTERNAL STORAGE AND THE PHONE STARTS TO ACT LAGGY
I have read about s2e, link2sd and darktremor a2sd; where is require to partition your SD (which I already have also done with CMW at no avail) and I have finally ended up with a program called Install Manager 3.5.1 which promises to do move apps to SD (as far as they are executed locally from an .apk file and not market)
So... after this entire intro, and to avoid any flaming against me: I have read many many posts and have ended up overwhelmed and more confused.
¿Can someone please help me into the best way (in terms of stability and performance) to manage my apps to the SD card with a stock ROM?
(If possible a detailed explanation please, remember I have Stock "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem)
Thanks a lot.
Also let me say I had read this post:

But I get lost into "make sure the rom supports it" and therefore not sure if this applies to S5830SERKPO 2.3.5
Well, seems that my post is getting to much attention yet... still, I have an update; today during the course of the day, two times the phone screen turns off and it does not come back until I remove the battery.
The phone continues to work... (the radio still plays, calls continue, etc) just the screen turns off without any means to turn it on.
Hope someone can guide into how to find a better solution for my need.
Probably the easiest way to fix that is to install a ROM from the dev section (make sure it supports A2SD) Cyanogenmod is not official for our Ace, wich means lots of bugs, but other Customs Roms should be ok for you.
Create a ext4 and swap with CWM in your sd card (reboot into recovery, advanced, create sd partitions) Open the A2SD app and turn the swap on, move applications.

Ok so Here is a link to Cyanogen Mod 7 which is a custom rom for all New xperia's imo probably the best custom rom out there. This will require you to have an unlocked boot loader on your phone.
Your second option is to root your device and remove the systems apps you dont like with titanium backup available off the android market.

2. Does the multi boot work on this phone?

1. Just use flashtool to flash a stock firmware for your handset. FlashTool
2. As for multiboot im not sure sorry.
3. You can use titanium backup and try, although its not garunteed to work.
4. If you are planning to flash cm7 it will be pre-rooted after the flash. all you need is unlocked boot loader.
Just have in mind that if you unlock your bootlocker (wich is essential if you are planing to put CM) you gonna lose your warranty.
About task manager, you can use Advanced task killer, who is avaliable at android market for free. There u can manage what process you want to leave running and wich one you want to be killed.
With rooted phone you can uninstall some of the system programs, just like Facebook

So basically if i use this tool i want lose warranty as far as i dont touch bootlocker????
I downloaded some task managers of the market but when i kill apps they restart automaticaly.
One more question.
If i root it uninstall apps via titanium can i restore the apps by wipeing the phone???
THX
Yes, that is correct. You wont lose your warranty as long as you don't touch bootlocker. And with that tool I linked to you, you can easily root your phone and unroot it when ever you like (tested myself).
Some applications will always return back to process tree, simple as, thats how they work
For example, facebook is always in background to notify you about notifications and those things, even if you didn't set up an facebook account, he will always be in background.
That's stupid, I know, but that doesn't suck your battery or similar.
You can always restore all Google applications with ClockworkMod recovery.
Here's the link for CWM:

And here is the link for google applications:

Lets get rid of the stupid things.
First of all there is a data notification whenever you boot the phone.(how to pooooooof its gone)
second there is notification when i turn on gps that might be some internet trafic involved. (if i turn off data plan is there posibily some internet trafic going on) is it gps or only agps?
third i know this phone is storeing all data how do i read it any viewer?
hi. after a long wait, I decided to upgrade my xperia x10 to gingerbread android. it looks cool, but it became reeeeally slow. everything is slow, from switching home screens to playing games. but the main problem is when i try to listen some music. i get a break every 10 seconds or so. it is so annoying!
I upgraded manually to 2.3.3 because the update was never available for me (I'm in brazil, and heard something about SE having to upgrade themselves, that you had to send them your handset so their techs would upgrade it) so since that's just stupid, i did it myself. along with it i rooted my phone, and installed recovery thing.
since 2.3.3 was really slow, i googled and found the jit enabler thing. installed it with the xrecovery and my phone wouldn't boot anymore. so i had to flash 2.3.3 again, this time i cleared everything, rooted again and everything. it's still very slow, i installed task killers and everything i could to improve performance, but 2.1 was way faster. songs are a little better now, but still annoying.
what to do now?
ty
Flash Fps uncap, it will boost your speed dramatically, also flash the music stutter fix

I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2.3.3, very laggy, even installed Jit enabler and got it stuck on SE logo, had to reinstall the rom again too. I'm using a custom rom and it's a very different phone now...fast no lag. You've rooted your phone, maybe it's time to take the next logical step.
Away from stock
Above poster has it right, try installing another's ROM now, WB has it down i think. You can also try a different Launcher( i use Launcher Pro) and a different Music app( i use Poweramp) use TB to remove all unwanted apps. move all your pictures and video, media, to SD card, but ensure your SD card isn't too big or too full, sometime an SD card with too much junk on it will slow everything down, such as with an sd card that is bigger then 16MB or a cheap one.
flash FPS as the others said, or just go and root it straight ahead and flash a rom. they are pretty stable by now without any probs! i use Donut HD and i had NO problems at all!
I also updated my x10i and its also quite slow, so how do i flash the fps uncap (please step by step, i am a noob xD) do i have to root it first?
