Hello there,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very happy 2012.
I am an phone geek and I have an LG Optimus One, neither modded nor even updated once (curses to the blasted firmware update drivers). In this community of phone users, I feel like chicken- I am scared at the very thought of toying with the OS and hardware, even though I have no fear of OEM updates. And being on a tight budget I can't afford to damage my phone due to a modding goof-up.
My question is: HOW DO YOU INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN LG OPTIMUS ONE P500(AKA THE V, PHOENIX) WITHOUT ANY MODDING?
If there is any app that safely does the task, tell me please. I use TasKiller and the memory optimizer inside NetQin antivirus.
Help me!!!!

This is what I don't want from any of you as a reply:
"Use a kernel, man."
"Why don't you root your phone?"
"Use a custom OS like CyanogenMod!"
"You should overclock your phone, it's very easy..."
and the dumbest of all replies:
"You should sell your phone and buy something like a Galaxy or Wildfire...."
or "I know a guy, he's an expert, dude, you should give your phone to him to mod..."
I won't give my phone to ANYBODY, YOU HEAR? ANYBODY!unless he's an authorized LG service engineer or so.
Waiting for a reply ASAP.
Then ask Santa Claus......

In that case it will take you some time to realize that you are the dumb one, not us.
hhhhhhhhhhhh he is like...
I know all the answers but i cant and i still want the best xD
Long explanation in short: You can't.
Yeah it's weird that you want to improve your phone while shooting down the very solutions to your problems. I know the feeling though of being scared to screw up your phone.
I screwed mine up in like three days after trying to install custom recovery. I don't know what went wrong. It was rooted just fine but this was during those times without Clockwork Recovery support and amonra needed a PC to be installed (didn't know about Terminal emulator until after). Brought the phone to LG since it was still under warranty. They fixed it a week after.
Then I went back to trying and read more and asked more questions about the stuff I was doing to my phone. The developing support for this phone is awesome. You really shouldnt be afraid anymore.
And yeah there really isnt a lot you can do to improve your phone's performance without a custom rom + a new kernel + overclocking... all of which you don't like to do
Read, read, read, read, than read some more... Hope to God you have a warranty on your phone...

Sorry, but if you want better performance without messing with the software at the very least, you need to buy a better phone.
As long as you read instructions carefully you will be fine. Most of us O1 users were first time rooters, but we pulled through. There is no app that give give you the power of a galaxy s II.

O1 is already a good performer. If you don't want to take rist, just stop visiting XDA! You'll certainly be a more satisified person, believe me!

Of course know that the Optimus can't become a Galaxy S II, but still there must be some trick that can boost the power of the phone. I finally fixed the drivers and now it's running LG's 2.3.3 Gingerbread, and there has been a huge increase. I know I am a bit shameless and crazy, but still if you know anything that could make my day, I will be happy to hear.

Use a launcher from android market instead of the LG one. It will make your homescreen and app drawer FEEL smoother without actually changing anything. I recommend Launcher Pro.
Beside that....nope, there's nothing much else you can really do. Honestly rooting, flashing roms etc is very easy and risk free if you're good at following instructions.
Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.

Hey guys,
I was just contacted by TrueXDAnoob about a link to download SalsaSlde.
I checked my extremely old Minus.com account and to my surprise, everything was still there.
I have a rather large collection of ROMS for the Espresso, as well as my own MODS, there and since I don't use that account anymore, I won't be deleting them.
So for anyone who may need something for their Slide in the future, here are the links to help!
ROMS

STOCK FROYO MODS

If any devs come across it and want their work removed, please pm me and I will do so.

I sent tbem another just a few minutes ago so I haven't given up. But it is not looking good and I doubt ill get anything back.
When I signed hp, I chose them because they promised to NEVER delete a file. Well apparently this is one of several things they promised but didnt deliver on.
In protest, I have to recommend that no one ever use this service! They even removed their faq page and the forum where people could get support.

Honestly, you would have received better input if you put the question in the Q&A section. People bash each other for posting in the wrong sections. I must say, I think you jumped the gun a little by ordering a new device. You didn't even wait 24 hours. When I had my S3, I accidentally formatted the wrong partition while trying to get data back after compiling MIUI based off another phone, it took 3 days to figure out how to get it back (Thanks garwynn and crew). A simple google search for "How to install stock rom on Verizon note 2" returned this on the first page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. The stickies in development are one of the first places you should look for anything rom related.

Alright clowns. I had him send his phone to me. He had a hard brink phone. All fixed and sending it back tomorrow. All the rude comments that you guys dropped was unnecessary. This tread is getting locked down now. Problem fixed..
Just a DAM android phone. have a good day.
Hi all, so it seems our device isnt getting much support or anything so I've decided to take the plunge try to learn something about porting and see if i can port something to our device... for me its not such a risk as the phone was basically a gift so if it gets bricked ill be sad but not end of the world sad...
so first off i have a few questions
1 the code name all the phones seem to have dev codenames... and of course i notices in the jmz kernal we are downloading the a3ul kernal. so is this the actual name for our phone.. i ask because there are some stock roms and i thought i could maybe make these the base to start from...
2 can you give me some ideas of comparable phones i checked the htc mini one and two while close they both have different cams so i would like suggestions as to other devices so i can try downloading roms and taking them apart to see what i can find out...
3 to any devs, could you recommend some good sites to give me basics in either A)-porting a rom for us, B)-compiling a rom from some source or lastly and really hope leastly the idea of developing something myself somehow...
thanks
