Hey i was just wondering I have a Optimus t from tmobile running 2.2 I flashed the Megatron Rom but would like CM7 or Gingerbread can and if so do you have a link???
Look in the "Optimus One Android Development" forum for a thread tilted "unofficial cm7".
Sent from my LG-P509
I only got one of the GB roms to run on the Optimus T, I cant get CM7 on there...
u have to do a system format using adb commands or fi u have clockwork recovery u can find in the menu a format/system
I have mik_os's CM7 build running on my Optimus T. What happens when you try?
Clockwork doesnt work on my phone i have a custom recovery i tried to use it ones and it bricked my phone

I am using a P506/THRIVE rooted with clockworkmod recovery. I have installed several P500 variant kernels & ROMS all of which have the same display issue when installed. Afaik everything else works great and I have done significant testing.
My question is to see if any devs would be willing to port over a stable kernel at the very least that would fix the display issues and allow for overclocking? At the most port over a custom ROM for us Thrive owners to use as well as a kernel.
I am coming from WebOS so my Android knowledge is minimal that and the fact that ATM I have minimal access to a PC has left me to ask someone else to do this else I would try to figure it out myself. From the small amount of information I was able to gain by installing different P500 kernels & ROMS I am under the impression that their isn't much difference between the P506/THRIVE and other P500 variants. This leads me to believe that a kernel port might be an easy & fast solution. The same is true for a ROM port which I am guessing is just a kernel issue anyway.
So please if their are any devs thy would be willing to give this a look I will assist in anyway needed and you would be making us Thrive users EXTREMELY Elated! Thanks in advance. ;-)

Did you install P500 CWM from Rom Manager? or some other version?
Do you have color problems only in recovery, or in the original AT&T rom as well?
I'd like to make experiments (e.g., a bloat-free deodexed version of the stock rom) but cannot start without first getting a nandroid backup.
I installed CWM using ROM Manager and selecting the LGP500 option.
The display is fine with stock ROM. When flashing a LGP500 kernel and or ROM the display goes into a non-color glitchy looking mode but everything else seems to work fine.
I have a nandroid backup of stock rom so pm me if you would like a link to it.

Have you tried to install a P500 rom with the stock P506 kernel?
As far as I get it, the only difference is one graphic driver.
Although we don't have kernel source (bad link on LG website), perhaps we could compare the kernel config (/proc/config.gz if I'm not mistaken) between stock P500 and P506 to see what is this different driver.
My P506 config.gz, decompressed, is attached below; if someone has a stock P500 config.gz I'd love to get it.
Do you have a P506 / THRIVE config.gz? And need a P500 or P509 config.gz to compare? I can't help with a non P506 variant but I can ask around and look
I'm sure with all the non P506 users lurking around someone can upload a stock one for us.
I believe LG changed the display on the P506 variant because att would not accept the touchscreen bug on the device. That would explain why the P500 / Thrive doesn't have the bug (or I haven't noticed it on mine anyway) and why att was the last of the major US carriers to get their own variant.
I believe the display used on the P506 has had to have been used on a different LG product which is what I am going to find out. That way we can recompile one of the custom P500 kernels with the new driver.
I will also try to get a copy of a stock P500 / P509 config.gz to link here for comparison.

I have a copy of the LG Ally kernel source and it runs off of the same adreno 200 with a 3.2 display of the same resolution as the P506. I wonder if there is any chance to compile a new kernel using the display driver in the ally source? Is it worth a try?
I am not sure how device drivers work for Android SoC is there specific drivers for every device even I'd they are utilizing the exact same hardware? I find it hard to believe considering webOS is not like this at all. I think this may be worth a try.

No need, I got the official sources off LG website today as they fixed the link.
Comparing the kernel configs of P500 and P506, the differences are:
- IPSEC/VPN/PPP support in P500
- Two framebuffer drivers (novatek and hitachi) in P506 rather than one (just hitachi), with runtime detection of hw. [CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NOVATEK_HVGA=y]
I think I'll be able to compile a version tomorrow or so. But could you please try flashing any 2.2.1 P500 rom without flashing its kernel and see if colors are OK? this would mean we just need a custom kernel and we're good to go with the plethora of P500 roms.
This is awesome news! I sent LG an email complaining about the broken link. I wonder of that had anything to do with the fix... Anyway I will run a backup now and flash a ROM without flashing the kernel. I will post results shortly. Thanks a lot for putting in the time and effort!

You should be thanking yourself, as you caused LG to put the link there (and you have my thanks as well)...
Sorry for not doing all these tests myself, this is my dad's phone and I can't take it away from him for too long
BTW, I wonder how Rom Manager knows the right partition to use when flashing the recovery; it's different on every phone model.
Is there an easy way to flash a rom without it touching the kernel? If so I can't figure it out. The only thing I can think of that would work is to prepare a flashable copy of my kernel flash a P500 rom then flash my backed up kernel. I just don't have access to a PC right now to do that.

So after some more research I have discovered that the partitions are different on the thrive and that's why the colors are messed up in recovery as well as when you flash a new rom using the cwm recovery. So before we can even begin to flash a new kernel / rom the cwm recovery will need to be ported.
This was taken from AndroidCentral forums concerning the Thrive.
( The partitions are in a different order for this phone than for other phones. For example, when I did my image pull of a clean, stock Thrive, I got the following mtd partitions: mtd0 = boot mtd1 = system mtd2 = recovery mtd3 = lgdrm mtd4 = splash mtd5 = FOTABIN mtd6 = FOTA mtd7 = misc mtd8 = cache mtd9 = userdata The two (unexpected) partitions, as far as order goes, were system and cache; at least, they are unexpectedly located at mtd1 and mtd8, respectively, as compared to their respective locations on the Optimus V (i.e., mtd7 and mtd2, respectively, on Optimus V). )

You can do one of two:
replace the boot.img inside the rom with the backed up boot.img, and then flash the rom; or
correct the installer script to skip flashing boot.img (and possibly remove it from the rom altogether).
I think the first option is easier as it only requires replacing one file in the zip file, and not changing the scripts within.

Actually, according to this post, the partitions in P500/P506 are exactly the same.
Definitely the colors issue has to do with the change in the kernel; I suspect recovery uses the same kernel as the rom, so once you flash a P500 rom with its kernel you get messed up colors everywhere.
Edit: recovery uses a separate kernel, so I don't understand why the CWM recovery has no color issues on your device.
Please guys I'll test but can I have the stock rom pm it to me
Also when you flash a rom does it when you turn on the screen sometimes it doesn't display this might be the fact that I have a phoenix not a thrive
I don't have the stock rom (it should be v11e_00.kdz); I just have backups of the mtd partitions of my thrive.
But it'd be useful to verify that phoenix and thrive are similar by examining the difference in kernel configuration and partition table.
Giandeli, could you please attach the contents of the following files on your device?
1) /proc/mtd
2) /proc/config.gz
im on cm7 sorry but could I have the boot.I mg to tryto see if color fi wait just give me partitions
I should have some time this evening to install a rom without installing the Kernel. I will update results afterwards.

I am new and i am getting a Optimus T (T-Mobile) and im wondering what the best rom would be.either for Fryo or Gb. And what kernal goes with that rom . I also have been researching the bugs in the device and i found the touch screen bug. I was wondering if any of the kernals or roms have that bug patched. Thank you sorry im such a noob.. i have never worked with android before
ROM: devoid# froyo final
Kernel: franco's or fserve's

Thank you Can you post the links please?
I am using:
Rom - Megatron
Kernel - Mik_OS
It has removed most of the touch bug and is running smoothly. Look in the LG-P500 Development section to find the links to the custom roms and kernels.
i have a optimus t and i want to install a custom rom but it says for old baseband only.. i dont know if i have the new one or the old one.

If you don't know anything about baseband (and have never messed with it) you probably have the old baseband

Oh thank you.. and is the rom and kernal you are using for your phone good?
i think it is one of the best roms out there performance wise. the only reason why i would not recommend it is because of the minor bugs it has (which i believe will be fixed this weekend)
if you take a look at it and find that you do not like it, you should try mik's port of cyanogenmod7 here (which is also good performance wise)
Hi,
I just flashed PerfectPesto 2.3, and it works great, except my mobile network doesn't work (no service). I was previously on CM7 which worked fine.
Do I need to flash a new or older baseband in order for this to work?
thanks!
edit: so I guess I figured it out. milk_os's rom works, but presto doesn't. So I assume I have the old baseband. How dangerous is it to flash the new one (what is the best guide to use)?
You may have the old bb 10x...you need to be using new bb

Hi,
thanks for the info. It was the baseband. I've noticed there aren't a lot of roms for the old baseband anymore. Andy's phoenix, milk_os CM7 and maybe one more?
Or are there any others? (I can't seem to upgrade my BB, it can't find the device, so I'm just going to stick with the old BB)
Yea u need to download the lg drivers for p500 for it to connect to the computer and trust me new bb is way better than the old...oh and the best rom for old bb is mik os 6.5.8 hope I helped :thumbup:
