[Q] Questions on ROM with BT handsfree support - Optimus One, P500, V General

[Partially solved] BT does work with Megatron now, see post #3
Hi experts
I recently bought an Optimus T (LG-P500 showed in Settings), I am new to this rooting scene, but have some good knowledge on Unix.
I am using Megatron now, and either it does not support BT handsfree (cannot start a call from the button on my BT headset), or it is not working for me. And I know there are newer ROMs out there.
So my question is: What ROM should I go with / or stay with Megatron?
My requirements are:
+ good performance & functionality
+ no need of fancy interfaces or launchers
+ must support BT handsfree
+ bonus: memory cache for selected app (my ebook reader & browser)
+ bonus: if you run windows with its basic interface, or prefer anything to KDE, you know what I want
Thank you very much

same question
Sorry, not and expert here.
I have an LG Optimus T for T-Mobile. Mine is the P509. The Optimus T should say T-Mobile on the front.
The P500 is an Optimus One. They are about the same except the numbers are not the same. There are reported to be some market applications that look for the P509 identification and reject the P500 identification. The "settings" should show the actual model numbers.
The Gingerbread ROMs (2.3.x) are supposed to have problems with the bluetooth. The Froyo ROMs (2.2.x) should have a better chance of working. There is a lot of work on the Gingerbread ROMs now so things are changing fast and this generalization might not hold everywhere. I would also like to have Bluetooth for my MotoRokr headset.
I have been trying to decide on a ROM also and have trouble keeping all the posts I have read organized in my mind. I am looking for the same answers.

All replies are always appreciated
Anyways, BT handsfree on Megatron seems to start working for me, I believe this happens after a few restart of the phone (hold power button, shutdown, then start up).
The problem might be from BTmono, but I cannot confirm that.
Hence for now, I will live with Megatron.
My question still partial open for suggestion with what new ROM should I go with my preference in OP.
Thanks all

Post #1 updated with new Rom.
thanks!
This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.
For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-
Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.
Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon
Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.
I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.
Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.
woops one issue
An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)
As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.
So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?
Can they be installed afterwards or anything?
Cheers
jbng
Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.
Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.
Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?
I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!
Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.
Cheers
jbng
You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

You can always try my new Rom it has video dialing built in.

Thanks for all your work Seth
The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.
I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.
Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.
The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?
We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b
Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?
Cheers mate

See post 1 for the new Video Dialer.
In regards to the radios have a read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.
Hey Seth
VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

I will do two things tonight.
1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4. And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.
I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.
Cheers
Hey Seth
In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...
Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.
If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.
Cheers
jbng
PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,
Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.
If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.
Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.
Thanks

hi, i just found this software and read about it, are there any chances of a release for ANDROID or IPHONES??
this could save me hundreds, i live in [California, US] and my family lives in [Baja california, Mexico].
it is extremely expensive for me to call them in their phones, is like 50 cents per minute, is insanity, so close and yet so far.
my siblins have Iphone and Android bases mobiles devices, they have like a unlimited data plan, i use a WMO based device and unlimited data plan, i can install loudtalks but they can't because there isnt build for their OS yet, we tried skype but their conection is not strong enough is imposible to use the skype, they only have EDGE(2g), we tried loudtalks with one of their friend's wmo based device, and it did work perfect, but not everybody uses wmo, so does anybody know if there are chances for a release???
dude its already out for android ...
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.loudtalks
Hi what happen here?
People don't have questions about loudtalks?? it's the better walkie program very fast and configurable, I have a dude in android version.
I use Htc Wildfire 2.2.1 froyo rotted i mapped a button to tap to open tap to close the microphone, it's perfect but the only problem i find is this feature only runs when the app is in first plane i need to open the mic while i see a map in the same phone or while i see another think coud be all most fast jeje i try to remap a button in the stereo speackers while the phone is paired connected with stereo bluetooth speackers and the program not recognice any button but when i use the program "key test" the phone recognice one button in the stereo speackers later loudtalks recognice this button also and leave me to remap for use it for open close microphone very usefull but not runs if the program is in second plane, any idea to resolve this?? please it could be very usefull for me

Toshiba folio 100 users - general info

Dear Toshiba Folio 100 user.
I have created this thread to use it as a place it discuss all ideas, suggestions, problems, improvements about this device. In this way we can clean some of the general issues in the Dexter ROM thread.

Applications using the big screen ?
Looking for the best (screen usage) for email and calendar.
The email client in 1.0b is the default one for Android, looking at the email client in Samsung Tab its much better at using the big screen. Also the Folio is much better with white/light background as the "stock" email-client does not have.
Any pointer to a better app ?
The calendar app is much better and uses the screen much better.
Please write about your experiences with apps that works with big screens and works good on the Folio.
/\/\artin
where do you find email client samsung???
Using Startup Manager, would it be possible to disable the phone service or would that result in a nuclear explosion or something like it? i mean, is android dependant on it one way or another, or would it be safe to disable it?
why foliomod ?
Hi to all
mhgonzalez great idea to create this "general" post.
I bought two folio for as Christmas gift, now they are hidden .. but, when I can, I do some test.
I never used android till now but I'm trying to understand why I should install foliomod. During my little usage I didn't find any bug, I only wasn't able to open a ebook (.epub) using the default reader (and I have put the file in the Books folder, anyway) but I suppose it's only because I need to improve my "knowledge".
But at the moment no bugs where find, all the apps installed work properly, wifi it's ok and, after I installed flash plug-in, browsing is ok too.
Not only but I was able to find the few app I saw googoling around the web.
What the folio mod make me able to do more than this ?

That is one of my frustrations. The current email.apk on the folio, as well as the calender, look pretty terrible. In email, I can't even scroll through the different emails, everytime I have to open a message, read, close and open the next. Even on the (rather basic) email.apk on the Galaxy S I have small arrows on top with which I can scroll through to the next or previous message. The Galaxy-TAB email.apk doesn't work (well) on the SGS either.
Also, Samsung have another email-client from com7, I'can;t get that version installed ( a specific Samsung version with great HTML-email-presentation, but alas, missing scroll-arrows also). I'll check the com7-site to see if they have a more general Android version of their email-app and come back on that one.
So if anyone has an other email.apk which works on the Folio, let me know.

Dear Kakkio.
Modding the most important in my case was to be able to download application from Android Market, reason why the Toshiba Market is a joke. It depend on what will you do with the Folio. If it is only to browse internet and reading book, dont mod. If you need more, I recomend to mod.
dear mhgonzalez
tnx for your answer, in a few word you give me axactly the info I needed.
Mainly I'll use the tablet to read, listen music, watch video and browsing... but I like to "play" so, after a few, I'm sure I'll go to install foliomod...
In this moment I'm installing android emulator on my ubuntu in order to get a little bit more involved.

I quote a post from "pekka91166" from the dexter section because I think is perfect for this section ...
"...I agree with one of the earlier posts on Android (especially Tegra2) tablets versus others, including iPad.
If you're simpoly looking for a tablet which works and works very well, get yourself an iPad. And accept it's a pretty much closed OS.
If you're looking for a working Android tab, go for the SGT, although I'm not sure how well the TAB is working.
With all these tegra2 tablets, we're in for some disturbing months. Right now, these products all seem to suffer from pre-release firmwares which haven't been adapted well enough to the powerful (and partly cheap) hardwarechoices the various suppliers have chosen.
In the case of the Folio100, I knew very well I was buying a product with factory-default rubbish FW, but after reading Dexter's posts I figured it was worth trying, playing, failing and reinstalling.
All in all, I'm happy with the Folio, it's definitely NOT the product is should become, but pretty decent workeable and, last but nost least, FUN (and irritating at the same time).
I just hope Toshiba will, at some point, come with an acceptable FW AND that, in the meantime, Dexter and others will be able to cook some nice firmwares based on 2.2.
The Folio FEELS at some point very powerful, so the Tegra2 should be able to perform, but most of the times it seems lazy. For me a clear indication its the firmware of the machine. Unfortunately, it's a bit the same with a Galaxy S-phone. Powerhouse, but the firmware (2.2) is yet not there to unleash the full power.
Let's hope we'll get 2.3 running on our Tosh and that it supports dual-cores. I expect until then we'll have a nice (and often frustrating) toy to fiddle around with....."
why mod?
For me the big disappointment with the Folio was that none of the Google stuff worked and I expected this from a device with Android.
Dexter has fixed this with his mods and now i can see all my picassa pics in the Gallery, my contacts calendar and email all sync perfectly. Try Google maps with the street view addin and zoom down streets, spin around, it is the sort of app that the tablet excells at.
He has also fixed the Market and there are plenty that are free and work great like tunein radio, some are worth paying for like Bria if you want a good sip client.
I have gone for the v2 mod as it seems to fly, It is not perfect but it is 1000% better.
Others have found v1 mod better for their use. Dexter has made it easy to try them and roll back and has proved to be adept at fixing issues with easy to apply updates , he can also be stimulated with his Donate button, Early reports are that the other tablets arriving with Froyo are hardly better than stock Folio all crippled at birth. Anyway I am grinning. I had a Nokia N800, ****e at first but then the second os release brought it to life and included a cpu overclock. Some have said we are not using both cores properly so I am looking forward to the next Android even if we have to stimulate Dexter to make it work again
but after foliomod I'll found the original apps ? or I have to re-install them again ? or I'll found others ones ?
and if toshiba will create a FW upgrade I'll have to roll-back to the original state to install it?
sorry for the stupid questions

Some will be there and some better ones have been included plus you have acess to the market where you should find everything you need , this is a bit trial and error but people will hopefully post reports of apps that work well on the folio. Yes you would have to go back to stock rom to get the Tosh update. Hah lets see if that comes:

Anybody know a way to use bluetooth for tethering, like it's possible with the archos tablets?
I've got 2 phones here wich are capable of making a dial up connection, but they are not as advanced as complete smart phones.
First is a LG GD510 POP and the second is a Samsung U600. Neither phone has a wlan connection, so it must be connected through bluetooth.
I can make a bluetooth connection with either of them and can send files and contact cards to them, but a tethering connection is not (yet) possible.
I know in the archos tablets, there is a possibility to tether, but in the folio (and mods) it's not.
Searching only delivers solutions, where the android device is the phone and a pc is the client or where a connection is made through wifi.

i dont there is any need to compare other hardware platforms..
the you could say Windows7 works fine with flash, but my android does not..
or my milestone works quite wll too, but still not same platform...
Best is put into accepting Toshiba/Nvidia is still work in progress, other major companies seems to plan using tegra2 and then we will for sure see much better support..
Toshiba released the folio100 too quick, comparing to Malata T2 which is still not out, as they realize its not in an acceptable state, although Nvidia is helping them to improve, they have yet to release their tablet and provide updates.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard, Touchscreen Driver

Hi!
i'm very pleased with my phone, but i'm having some issues that i'm guessing every lg P500 is having:
is there a way to port a driver of the touchscreen from another phone, since the device's performance is awesome and brutal, but everytime you touch the screen it lags big time, for example the "Reckless Driving" game, it's always full speed until you touch to steer. so is it possible?
another thing is gingerbread keyboard, for its improvements such has blind type technology and multitouch support.
Also, a port from cyanogen 6.1 would be difficult??
thanks in advanced

[Q] Audio problems with Energy ROM

Previously I tried some of the latest Energy ROMs and liked them for the speed, the lack of HTC messaging, the well organized Start Menu, etc. but had to move on to another ROM because I had serious audio problems with Energy. Problem present while making phone calls and also while listening to music/watching movies through headphone. While volume is below ~50% the sound is so dull and faded I hardly understand what my talk partner says. Above ~50% it turns to an extremely sharp tone with almost no bass that hurts my ears. Also the volume difference between the steps are very uneven.
Tried both 21916 and 29022 of the 'Standard Reference' series with radios 2.15.50.14 and 2.12.50.02_2 with the same result. Used HSPL4 and the SD card method.
Strange but I couldn't find anyone complaining about such problems in the ROM thread so it is absolutely possible that I'm missing something although stock 3.14, Laurentius and Artemis (this is my current) ROMs had perfect audio on this phone.
Anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong?
Come on guys, any thoughts?
Or nobody uses WinMo anymore?...
Still using it
Just stumped on your issue as not experienced any volume issue on more than 20 HD2 company handsets running Energy rom (older 23699build is one we use)
Don't know if any alterations to the audio para file where made in later builds of Energy so worth searching the thread on it.
You could copy the audio para file from Artemis & use it to replace the Energy rom one & see if makes any difference ...
Thanks for the hint, to be honest, this is the first time I hear about this file.
I've done some research in the forums, now I understand that it should be a file called audiopara.csv in the \Windows folder. The problem is that in Artemis ROM there is no such file there nor on the entire device. Tried to find it with Resco Explorer with displaying hidden/system files all enabled, but found nothing.
While searching I found some pretty unclear info about NRGZ and pyrorob trying to address some in-call background noise with these mods but trying to put the picture together from a topic of 3600+ pages gives me headache. I've never had such noise issues they mention.
I'd like to start flashing the ROM but without any possible solution in my hands it would be a waste of time so if you or anyone could give any further advice that'd be great.
As I didn't get an answer I started flashing Energy ROM again to see if anything goes different this time but no luck, audio is messed up just as like my previous try. Before that I digged out my old Diamond2 from below the dust which also had perfect audio. Searched for the audiopara.csv and found it, saved to my PC to be prepared. My idea was that I'll replace Energy's audiopara with this as a try if things go bad but I had no luck because - like Artemis - Energy doesn't have this file in \Windows or anywhere else.
As I had to flash something to use the phone I decided to try something new: I flashed HD2O's v22. Not really the thing I planned because I don't really like WM6.5.x but otherwise it's a surprise! Lightning speed, HTC Messaging is pretty usable and fast and have the best audio quality I've ever had on HD2 so it seems like I stick on that.
Then again I can state that Energy's last ROM is unusable this way, either it is a bug or they overadjusted something.
Had a look on my older 23699 Energy build & it has no audio para file so that seems normal on these builds.
I have not experienced sound issues on any HD2 we have on energy ROM & audio quality seems fine, no staff have complained either ...
Maybe an issue linked to HSPL & radio or Energy ROM flavour of build you use.
Had a search in the Energy ROM thread too but found nothing much relevent to this issue.
Hope the HD2O ROM stay good for you ...

Sadly no. After some weeks of usage problems started to appear, for example disabled vsync caused terrible tearing in Sense and in Opera (only sometimes, otherwise no). Cooked in uTask caused sense to stuck at "Launching Sense..." forever at bootup, also Opera stuck at its splash sometimes, etc. So I went back to Artemis, now with the latest v72 but the usual annoyances are still there, for example permanent "Bluetooth on." message in notifications causes notification icons in the top bar to group so there is no missed call or new text icon just a generic "new someting happened". WM taskbar pops up every now and then when I touch the clock in the corner even if it is disabled in Artemis Center. Today I traveled by train in low coverage areas, listened to music while browsing the internet and every time I left coverage then when it came back I got a message window "Bluetooth stereo headset connected" (I used a wired earphone ). If I connect my car bluetooth when the phone is in vibrate mode the volume become a complete mess, nothing selected on HTC volume screen and in reality this means "Silent" no ring nor vibration appears on incoming call. Although I didn't try all the roms out there it seems there is no usable cooked rom for the HD2 and this is rankling. I'm on the edge of flashing back the stock 3.14 and apply all the tweaks manually I tried before with success.
Anyways after this amount of squawking... You mentioned you use a previous release of Energy and don't have audio problems. Could you give me the version number of it? Do the older Energy ROMs available anywhere? Or maybe do you have that image file? I could give it a try...

We use the 23699 as was best WM build for our use & loaded software.
Use it on over 20 work HD2 handsets & with a few tweaks & bit of cleaning here & there is a rock solid performer ... will upload the image for you to try ...

Thanks, I greatly appreciate your efforts! :good:

Refer to the NRG thread for HSPL/Radio version & install tips etc. We always do a hard reset after the flash as tends to reduces possible issues.
I would test your audio issue before installing & setting up the ROM too much as I have not seen your audio issue on any of our HD2s on this ROM !
With a little work this is a great stable ROM ...

Thank you sir, I tested it and I experienced the following: the audio issue is also there in this ROM but at a much much lower level, it is almost unnoticeable, I just hear it because my bad experiences with the latest Energy. Dinik's glass icons, keyboard, etc. is too much for me so after extensive googling I found the WM6.5 Standard version of the same Nov24 branch and it also seemed totally usable with good audio. But... in the meantime I read some other ROM's topic and found another promising one, CleanEX RV with 6.5 so now I'm testing that and put Energy as a 2nd best for spare. I'll see but I'm certain one of them will be my ultimate ROM. :good:

Have changed a lot of icons within the Dinik ROM & we use Finger keyboard due to wide amount of language support including a very good Thai keyboard layout plus layout etc is customisable but over all find the dinik skinning good.
Believe we have the NRG 28244 reference from March but no others.
All builds from Nov24 onwards had serious issues for us & we found just spending time to enhance the 23699 build best option. Hope one of the 2 works out well for you, have not used/tested CleanEx RV so will be interested in your remarks ...
