That's right, dude.
However you should notice, that CUSTOM FIRMWARES (= CUSTOM ROM + CUSTOM KERNEL) give you better performance, advanced options and longer battery life.

No you don't have to. Official LG ROMS are for the new baseband only.

going to flash this rom via kdz.
Hello,
I want to manually flash V20E_00.kdz (using KDz...russian) which is the euro open unbranded firmware. My phone was bought from Vodafone Romania (with a branded firmware) and unlocked after few weeks. In present I have Mik's CM7 v6.5.7 with ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0 on the phone. I only flashed with KDZ a branded Vodafone RO firmware (downgrading, I made update with lg tool at v20g and at that time was not possible to root).
Q: Is it possible to flash v20e (unbranded, open eu) on my phone that had innitially a branded firmware withot killing him? (i don't have money ))

I think the new market sucks. Its way slower on our optimus one than the old one and has no benefits.

The new android market is great, but it takes too much time to load, so I uninstalled the update, and now I'm back with version 2.1.2. Is there any way to get the version in between? Also any way to disable market from updating itself to the latest version? Thanks!

Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906. Download image, boot phone in Flashmode ( Vol down + USB connect if i remember correctly ) , and flash it. The software is pretty self-explanatory.
It's always good to keep backup, if nothing else but to revert to stock/earlier Rom without losing all data.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937792. Gives you several choices of Stock based on region as the first few links.
One of them is a torrent, I would recommend that, even though I downloaded the Indian ftf. I don't think it makes a difference which one you use, especially if you're going to switch to a custom Rom later.

could someone please make a torrent of .110 (india)?...because in the link above the torrent if available only for the global version.
Does it really matter if its India ? Just out of curiosity, would there be anything lost if we were to flash, say global ?

Technically it shouldn't. There was a huge rush to flash the Indian version, at it was the first of the Sola ICS' on XDA. Loads of people flashed it, irrespective of region. I guess it doesn't matter as in case we ever need to give back to Sony, they'll have bigger issues than checking which version of stock we're on. I'm not really sure though
have kept the global version to download...maybe it will take a day or so and i can flash only then
ftf for .110 is downloaded. can someone tell me how to flash it. i also downloaded flashtool.
