I finally figured out how to unlock my bootloader and flashed to CM7 (Im a newb so this is a big accomplishment!!!)
Im using ROM Manager to flash the Google App Pack, but which one should I go with?
There are three for it that look right:
Recommended for CM7.1 2.3.5
Recommended for CM7.1 2.3.4
Recommended for CM7.0 2.3.3
Is one better than the other, or more relliable?

first off, wrong second
second, generally higher numbers mean newer versions. so go with 7.1 2.3.5, since that's the Android version that CM7 is running right now.

hi i just bought my phone last week an I've already experienced some lag even though there's not much apps installed. so now i want to try a custom rom. what rom would be the best for first timers thanks..
If you have 2.2 installed (old baseband) than andy's phoenix rom is the best.
Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
If you have 2.3 (new baseband) than you should go for Ginger LOL:

baseband is not the android version. i wrote up a small thing on baseband here.
here is the link for ginger lol (the link in post two is actually the right link except for the four dots):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685
in my opinion, i would use andy's phoenix rom. follow these instructions:
a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
b) also, since you are currently using official gingerbread (2.3.3), you need to downgrade your baseband version, instructions found here
thanks for the info man. as i've read, most roms will eventually support the new baseband. so i think, im gonna wait a little longer for that. one more thing though. i though when i install rom, the kernel comes along with it, but as i read it seems that i need to flash my kernel too? thanks for your help.
phoenix rom comes with franco's .35 kernel preinstalled
There's no need to install other kernel.
roms using old baseband is never going to support new baseband...
DUDE I prefer, no need to root your stock rom for installing custom rom.
follow http://lg-p500-optimusone.blogspot.com/ if u want this.
note : I didnt try this but this should work

Hi all,
I have a few questions now I am running cm7. And I can't find the answers propably because (you're a NOOOB!!!) I lack some basic understanding of the relation between kernels, mods, modems etc.
First the situation: SGS2 (duh) rooted using CF-Root OXA KG3. Flashed CM7 nightly (88 or 89 don't know from the top of my head).
My understanding of the parts is limited to the rom (cm7) is running on top of the kernel. Where the modem fits in I don't know.
Now the questions:
1. Does cm7 have (and am I running) it's own kernel or am I still on CF-Root?
2. If I want to switch to another kernel how would I do it and where can I find kernels working well with cm7? (I know about Swi7chblades thread)
3. Where is the modem for and can I change and improve it? (sorry couldn't find it in the guides nor the glossary on the wiki)
And I thought I had more but will say what pops up when I read your answers.
I think CM7 has a own kernel but i'm not sure
SiyahKernel v2.0 will work for you if you are still running CM7

Yeah I am still running CM7 and plan to stay there until their is either an ICS version or another ICS rom. Thanks for the kernel suggestion will check it out.
edit: SiyahKernel v2.0 looks promising, I'll put it on the list of things to try.
I tried siyah 2.0 stable but it wasn't a success. I ended up going back to stock and flashing cm7 again. On the modem front I flashed to KI4 and things seem a little better. But I still don't really know what to look for. Anyone?
CM7 has the kernel from cyanogen dev codeworkz. I'm using siyah ATM though which is decently stable.

Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.
Hi,
I was thinking of installing a custom ROM on my Optimus One/P500 last year but decided not too and kept using the stock 2.1 ROM, until yesterday when i installed the root uninstaller app to remove some of the annoying default apps and somehow messed the phone up and now it won't start!
So now i wan't to install a custom ROM with Gingerbread, but there seem to be so many different ones with different specs that a n00b like me just isn't 1337 enough to understand.
I'm looking for a simple Gingerbread ROM without too many fancy add-ons, it should have the default Gingerbread theme, should run faster then and get better battery life then stock Android 2.1, and be stable enough for everyday use, please suggest which ROM i should install!
Nearly 90% of the official roms are uploaded with megaupload and those links are down

You should update to Official Gingerbread for Optimus One.
Better battery life? No way. Stock Froyo version has the best battery life. Any Gingerbread rom will drain your battery quick. The only advantage is that Gingerbread run more fast.
First update to official gingerbread for the new baseband..
follow this http://webtrickz.com/install-offici...te-on-lg-optimus-one-using-kdz-updater-guide/
and root it.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
and Flash Perfectpeso ROM its Good
If Gingerbread will drain the battery too much, what's a good user friendly and minimalistic Froyo ROM that will have better battery life then stock?
Also i seem to have messed up my stock ROM while trying to get rid of some default apps using the "Root Uninstaller" app from the Android market, It won't get past the 'ANDROID' title screen, Is it possible to install a new ROM without having to start the phone?
If you doesn't want to change baseband, you must search rom that works on the old one.
There's even a fix that made possible use the gingerbread ron on the old baseband.
Some roms (like nightlyfour by eeee616) has a old baseband version, other (like Perfectpeso by tretted) has linked the fix for old basebad by adfad666.
Bye!

You can flash custom recovery via LGMDP tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15217609&postcount=3
Then hang the three button combo Power+Home+Vol down till recovery opens and flash the ROM there.
If you want Froyo, I suggest you devoid #froyo-final .
But I don't agree with previous posts - I think, the battery in Gingerbread is much better than in Froyo.
Better use mik's CM 7.1 ROM. i had used it for almost 4 months with no issues. If you are a heavy user of 3g or 2g data, it is recommended that you upgrade your baseband for a slightly better reception, if not, stick to this baseband, and you can flash the recovery via LGMDP tool(link in the post above mine).
I have been using the latest CyanogenMod 7 after updating my phone with the official LG updater, re-rooting, installing Rom Manager, and it's great. Especially with this kernel

Hi everyone! I've had for an year an amazing Nexus S (aw.. so google..) and now I'm a very happy owner of a GSII (so freakin' fast!). I thouhgt to keep the telephone with the original rom waiting for ICS but... when I saw the so HEAVY personalization by samsung! Sigh... it's so Gingerbread! it even seems ICS!
Now the question.. I've seen so many acronyms near the roms. What they stand for? I mean like XXLPQ, LPQ, LPE, XXLPH or stuff like that.
And what if I would put on a rom that is PURE GOOGLE? I saw the WanamLite, is it stable/fast/daily-use? Do you suggest this or other roms?

That is the firmware version and/or region. Latest is ICS XXLPQ.
I suggest you Checkrom v6 (soon ICS!) is the most stable popular and stable rom around.
Thanks, but how? xD
As I said I don't have idea. Any bootloader to unlock? Just download rom manager and install the cwm?

galaxy phones can be tricky if you came from a nexus. Basically you have to read the FAQs, but in terms of flashing stuff the biggest difference is that the recovery and kernel are linked. You can't flash a separate recovery, and that's why you can't use clockworkmod.
There is no bootloader unlock thingy also. But you'll need Odin instead.
Keeps these points on mind and then read the FAQs again. And good luck!

I bought my GS2 only 5 days ago and already went through installing Resurection remix 9.4, 9.6 and 9.7 and loving it
I've just installed the Omega V5.0 ICS ROM and its awesome, and is based off the XXLPQ firmware
Method,
I started from a 2.3.5 firmware, rooted it using a cf-root-sgs2_xx_oxa_ki3-v4.1-cwm4.zip and odin.
I copied the Omega zip rom to my sd card, rebooted into clock work recovery (the chainfire kernel installed clockwork automatically)
Followed the instructions for doing the thee wipes on the Omega home page.
and did the install from the sd card.
Hope that helps some...
Obivously every custom rom has its own instructions.
