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

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.
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
- ... ?
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
I switched from iPhone to Android last August and have been running UnNamed ever since. I love the android. I had wanted to re-flash it with a ICS ROM, but can't find many screenshots of how each rom looks like.
I noticed that the kernel was released for ICS 4.0.3 and lots of ROMS now have this in it.
Can any of you that have tried more than one of these roms comment on which rom you think is better? I'm not sure how to tell the roms apart from each other yet :/
I found and am deciding b/w these: SHOstockv2 ICS, CM9 (Not actual 4.0.3 ICS?), and Phone-Bricker.
I'm looking for a cool-looking ROM with lots of features. Those are my only requirements really when I look for roms.
Thanks guys!
Hi. We're not going to do vs. threads on new roms that have just come out or have been here for awhile.
Every phone is slightly different and what works great for you may not for the next person. The best bet is for everyone toy the roms for themselves and see what works best for them.
The reason we dont have these vs. threads is because it can very easily (and has in the past) turned into flame wars... because when one person says "I didnt like so-and-sos rom so I moved to this rom" its inadvertently putting down the work of that dev and his rom. It may not be intentional, but it happens. So to avoid that, we just dont do it.
Hello folks,
I am interested in flashing a new ROM on my ATT LG Optimus G because the stock 4.1.2 has much application crash issues. I have checked the Development forums and I am overwhelmed by the amount of ROMs available. I searched the threads in search of a stable and lightweight ROM, but all the one I have looked at had LTE, USB, NFC, or other issues. I read that cyanogen mod was good, but there does not seem to be a stable version for the ATT version, only nightly builds exist. Therefore, I request the help of an experienced community member to direct me to a stable ROM.
This isn't going to be what you want to hear but is probably pretty good advice at any rate. As you'll notice, there are people who love every ROM out there and folks who also have issues, some of them severe, with many of those same ROM's. Each device is different and they aren't all created equal. I would just try a couple and see for yourself, that is always the best practice because what I may love might not suit your tastes. As you know, that's part of the fun of Android, not being told by the mfg what is right for you.
Just make sure you do a nandroid backup of your current ROM so you can always flash back to something that works if you don't like your ROM of choice or experience usability/stability issues.
