Select Mounts and Storage
Select Format /system
Select Go Back Until you are at the first screen
Select Install from SD Card
Select Choose ZIP
Go to the folder where you downloaded the ROM

Does Gtalk also force close? If so, go to the q AND a thread and download the .zip in the link the "Notices" section. Flash it in ClockworkMod, not ROM Manager, just as you would flash a ROM. Reboot, give it 2 tries and it should work fine... Assuming the problem is what I think it is.

The day i got my phone
Have u installed recovery? If not.
( There are many methods I find this the easyest.!
Download Rom manager from the market. Open . It will ask for su permission clik allow. Close the app and reboot (i recomend reboot) After reboot Open rom manager, The first option is install clockwork recovery click it than select LG optimus one. It will download and install recovery.
And you are done. ( will requuire internet connection)

To check if you have installed recovery correctly Shutdown the phone. Press Home button + Volume down button + Power button hold it till recovery menu comes up. If it comes up you are ready to flash roms. Inside recovery you can use volume button to go down and up the menu button(FIRST BUTTON) selects the menu item. Back button to go to previous menu. Don't do any thing stupid in there right now.

Yes, everything is done here. I had put my cm7 zip into my SD card root

Don't put it in root of sdcard clock work doesn't show files from root of sdcard ( I don't know if it has changed) only folders so make a folder say "rom" put zip file in that folder.

next?
If you have contacts/sms in phone I recommend take backup.
Than shutdown the phone, boot into recovery ( three button combo) . Select backup and restore in the recovery menu and select full backup. It will make a nandroid backup its usefull if somethings goes wrong. It will take time. Than goto previous menu select advanced option menu in there u will find format /system select it. Than select format /data. Don't select anything else be cautious as it has many wild format option in there.
Goto main menu and select wipe option > select wipe all. Goto main menu select install zip from sdcard browse to rom folder select it than select the cm7 zip file. After that recovery will flash the rom wait patiently as it will look like phone has hung. ................Finish.
Select reboot system from main menu. The phone shall boot into cm7.
( if you don't find the menus I have written above just search it like the format option might be at some other place.)

OK now how to flash franco's kernel ?
Download the kernel put it in rom folder. Boot into recovery (press and hold power button select recovery) . Select install zip from sdcard flash the kernel. Same like u flashed rom. ( No format anything this time) you can wipe dalvik cache from menu. Reboot.

Little late. But good choice. Keep in mind that you may have some problems here and there. Nothing major. But it's improving by the day. And this is my everyday use ROM now. I'm getting good battery and the performance I need. Good luck.
Don't forget to thank 4silvertooth. That's a lot of typing.

Firstly here's a video demonstrating how to flash a rom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwiiSStuSQ
Installation Instructions:
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Might need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache (read the devs instructions)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
and next time search for the threads instead of creating a new one, because the admins will most probably delete it lol.
Reboot, Enjoy!
Thanks thanks!

Ok will do so what's the best way to flash a Rom straight to phone or lab top to SD card and should you really wipe cache 3 times ? Wipe dalvick 4 times , format/system when it comes flashing a zip
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
And do a data factory wipe?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
*Laptop (sorry I had to)
When flashing a new ROM:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Under advanced:
wipe dalvik cache
4. under mounts and storage: format /system
For any mods or kernels and such follow the directions from where it was posted.
I have never done multiple wipes of any of those I listed just once each. To be on the safe side if the ROMS creator says to I would follow their directions.
Oh and when you download a ROM on your phone I would recommend only doing it with WiFi. It just ensures a more stable connection I feel like. No matter how you download it tho check the MD5 sum. Android file verification is a great free app to do it right on your phone. Winmd5summer is a good free one for Windows.

Thanks JBO 1018 REALLY!!!!! I NEEDED that break down. Ok when downloading to phone i will use my mifi 4g and my USB phone won't work in my lab top sometimes it won't read, so can i use my sd card reader to put the rom on the sd card that way?

Im gonna try to make this as easy as possible since ur new to this. Go in the development forum find the rom you want download it. Connect ur phone to ur pc and drag the file on to ur SD card. Go into Rom Manager and hit reboot into recovery. When the phone reboots select backup in case something goes wrong. Once its done select wipe and wipe the phone. Ok now go to select zip on sd card choose the file u just dragged on to ur sd card let it load and ur done.
I'm going to try it thanks.

Boot into cwm (vol up and home and power). Select full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced wipe dalvik cache, then select install custom zip and find its location on sd then aroma installs what u want (choose custom installation). Also yeah this info is in like the 2nd or 3rd post of omega thread but was feeling generous

Hey man, Follow these steps to the Safest way possible:
1-Backup your files or data to Pc/Make a Nandroid Backup IF you want to switch to ur actual Rom.
2-Reboot into recovery mode using CWM ClockWorkMod Manager.
3- in recovery mode choose install zip from Sdcard
4-hover into the Omega Rom which you downloaded and choose it/press Yes and flash it.
If you have any issues with OMEGA rom like force closings or bugs try to wipedata/factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Hope this helped !!
