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
- ... ?
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

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
Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to mik_os for developing the cyanogen mod 7 port to LG Optimus One. It really is a fantastic ROM and so stable.
I'm posting here instead of the "OFFICIAL" thread because I'm new and can't post there yet.
I first put beta5 or beta 6 (can't remember exactly) on my phone about 6-8 months ago. It's run so well that I haven't had to update it to more recent builds. The phone is great to, I've had an iPhone user say "it's fast" and I respond: "yep, an it's only an entry level android handset". Now I have Nokia n9 (drool...) and I'm giving my Optimus one to a younger relative. So I updated it to 6.5.8 stable, very nice indeed. I'm sure he's going to love it, and with gingerbread 2.3.7 and CyanogenMod it is so much better than the rusty old official LG ROM.
Once again mik_os, I thank you and salute you
well no need to open another thread to thanks him
just donate to him or give him a thanks button
that all
Ok so here we go .
Its been mostly like that i will not have this phone in a week due to i need to give it to my brother.
Also i bought a HTC Touch Pro with windows 6.1 pro probably i will see if i can get android or anything like that on it. I also may get another phones which is better than optimus one and i will give this phone to my brother.
So i want to thank
