I own a LG Optimus V from Virgin Mobile currently rooted and running Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0-IHO-KANG on Mirage's kernel ([email protected]))
While it performs fine and I love it, I have a few issues.
Ever since I put this ROM on in late December, I cannot connect to any WiFi network; usually stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" And I'd love to be able to use WiFi ASAP.
Also, I can not seem to install Busybox, getting the error that my phone is not rooted, most of the time, though it is. Due to this, I cannot run Font Changer, SD Maid, etc, etc, etc.
How do I fix any of these issues?
Also, is there a CM9 in development for Optimus V and not just Optimus One?
(Is a huge fan of ICS)
Thanks in advance!
P.S:I also can not wait to start developing apps and roms to use and share with the community, though my skill lies in 3DS Max and Photoshop.
A little advice
You can get into THEMEING....
There is no CM9 port for Optimus V though there is a good ICS-THEMED rom.
Try rooting again with SuperOneClick v2.3.3
Actually, it looks like there is an ics for the optimus v:

Umm, I rooted with Gingerbreak since the super one click method never seemed to work with me, could that be a problem?
sounds like its a rom issue, just root the phone again with the new rom installed, but the wifi problem is a rom issue, find out if other people are having the same issue with the rom as you are, if so, pm the dev about making a update to fix the issue
Agh, when I try to open gingerbreak it says "Cannot extract assets."
Is this maybe because I'm now on Android 2.3.7?

Okay, the headline might be a bit dramatic, but I've used a couple of days figuring all this android stuff out.
I've rooted my HTC Hero G2 (European version). I was previously using the official 2.1 with LauncherPro modding and stuff and I liked the speed, but wanted to try out Froyo.
So I started out by rooting..
Then I installed Fusion!ROM 2.2, but after the installation I played around with the phone a little and found it to be a bit laggy. I then started reading some stuff about Kernels and overclocking.. But it's impossible for me to find a proper and well describing guide on how to do this..
I read that it's just like flashing a rom but do you do flash it to the phone after flashing the custom rom?
Of course this is not something I played around with when using the Fusion!ROM because I downloaded the version called:
Software over-clockable version... clocks reset when phone is rebooted...
And just now I found out that I needed to download some software to overclock the phone but isn't there some easier way.. for example downloading some of the other versions, but I didn't want to download because I'm afraid of breaking my phone in unawareness.
Also I read about FroydVillain 1.4 (but is this a Froyo version? Assuming so on the name, but couldn't find a statement on the download site..) and it seems to be a very popular rom including LauncherPro and ADWLauncher.. And since I liked LauncherPro on the official 2.1, I'm thinking about checking this one out.. but again I'm stuck with the kernel/overclocking question..
I thank you in advance for a guide / some good advice and as you might have noticed I'm quite new to all this stuff so I'm sorry for being a newb
1. First you need the custom rom and if you want a kernel, you should flash the kernel on top of the custom rom, just get into recovery mode and press flash zip and choose the kernel.
2. Software over-clockable version... clocks reset when phone is rebooted just means that you can overclock your rom with software like SetCPU and overclock widget, which means that you can set your desired speed in the software. And you can't break your phone by flashing a kernel or overclocking it.
3. Yes froydVillain is a 2.2 (froyo) ROM
Flash ROM > Flash Kernel
And definitely try FroydVillain (yep, it's Froyo).
Cheers!!
I didn't expect getting an answer before tomorrow but seems I was wrong.
I just flashed the FroydVillain and I'm about to try it out.
Is there any restrictions to what the HTC Hero / G2 can handle of kernels? And what are the differences between them?
On the FroydVillain page I've find a couple of different ones.. 614 / 652 / 691 and so on.. One idea on which one is fitted for a G2?
Once again.. thanks in advance!
Everybody's Hero's are different and can handle different clock speeds. 652 is safe, most can handle 691 and the 700s are pushing it for many.
Just a matter of trial and error to see the fastest yours can take.
Doesn't the initial clock speed have some limitations on the battery life time on the phone?
I also have just one question to the FroydVillain which you might be able to answer for me...
I doesn't seem like my Lock Screen works..? I've set up a pattern but nothing really happends. I've also added the Power Control widget and ensured that the lock pattern is enabled through this widget..
EDIT: I know why.. nvm
Thread moved to Q&A.
Hello everyone, I´m new on the android word and just got myself an x10 mini, and would like to install a ROM. the real thing im after is the ability to save apps to SD, I tried installing App2sd, using a tutorial in these forums, but it completely broke android 3 times, getting stuck on an endless reboot cycle.
Now that that option is out of the window I am looking at ROMS.
My phone is flashed with an international firmware, with band M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Android 2.1. What would be the best ROM (given persona experience) fully working, of course?
Thank you,
DamDSx
hi im pretty new too, but found it quite easy, i installled 2.3.3, i havent got time right now to post the links il get back 2 you if you havnt sorted it, but you can get all links and software from this site, the easiest way i found was using superoneclick to root, just one click! then youl need xrecovery to backup (just incase) &restore then browse for the rom you want to use, if you have a look you'll find all these on here with n00bie instructions 4 us beginners, hope this helps some what.
Im going with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200675
Currently backing up with Xrecovery, but im not sure if I need to wipe user data and cache? the rom guide does not say anything

welcome 2 android
ROM's are of personal taste and as the camera problem of gingerbread is fixed,most of the ROM's are fully working.....as u r new to android, i would suggest you to go for MiniCM7 2.0.5 as the MiniCM is perfectly "tailored" for the mini's small screen estate...however, other ROM's like GingerDX, FroyoBread, MiniCM6, Andread etc are very stable alternatives too ..i am using "FRoyoBread" latest version because i find the battery consumption to be less than the Gingerbread builds
if you are after the ability of moving the apps to SD, most ROM's would suffice. But, i'll give u a caution, don't move apps with "Widget" support or "operational" apps to the SD card...many a time u will get a "problem loading widget" popup or your SD card won't show up on the computer.
try some ROM's until u find the one u would like the best...most of the ROM's are great because OUR DEVS ARE AWESOME
if i helped you, press the "THANKS" button

Thank you. Android is awesome!
I´m trying GingerDX, the only problem I have found is the keyboard. it was too big for the screen (Unmodified X8 port) but ThickButtons from the market fixed it. Loving Gingerbread so far. On a side note, my new phone, and thus Android, has put some stress between me and my wife, because ive been spending more time with the phone than with her! lol!
Indeed the devs are awesome. THANK YOU!!!!!
Hey guys,
It's been some time since I have been here, I went out into the void of other phones when T-Mobile gave me a free G2 back in July. Anywho, I am here because I am trying to set my old Optimus T up for my boyfriend as his iPhone just fell out of his car and obliterated... Plus, he wants to give Android a whirl (I am so excited!)
Does anyone know the best gingerbread rom that is currently available, looking for something that can run things like angry birds, fruit ninja, maybe a gba emulator... OH! I also saw that there is FLASH available for this phone now, should I look for a rom with that built-in? Or should I flash it myself?
; Sorry for all of the questions! I really hope I don't seem too crazy. Haha.
There is a poll here. I'm running mik_os' CM7 6.6.1, and I've successfully installed Flash 10.1 with this ROM. You can download the Flash installer here.

Okay, I have set up Lupo's CM9 Beta 1 on the new baseband. I have looked up APN's for data and entered all that I have found, but it dosen't seem to save afterwards. I can text and call to my hearts content, but I can't get data to work for the life of me. I was wondering if anyone has managed to get data working on ICS + V20 Baseband, on the Optimus T (on T-Mobile)
I know I'm new, but I preformed searches on here and on the main page for Lupo's ROM, but I have yet to find a mention of the Optimus T. The only ROM I have used with working data on the v20 baseband is Ciaox's OpenOptimus Gingerbread.
Any help? Thanks in advance!
*Bump* Please help me!
switch back to open optimus..
That's a bug. You have to wait for a fix.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Probably you are the owner of one of the sims CM7/9 cannot cope with for now.
It's a known bug but cannot tell you when it will be solved.
Better post this bug at Cyanogenmod-forum.
Hi guys, I did a search but I can't find anything on the SmoothScroll MOD for my current LG Connect (vv3).
I am running my LG Connect with the vv3 baseband (STOCK ROM), Rooted and DeBloated but when I get a bunch of apps installed scrolling through them all is extremely choppy. Can anyone do a Smooth Scroll mod for this version? It seems like everyone has given up on the LG Connect 4G. Too bad, seems like every-time I buy a new electronic device people has already moved on to the latest and greatest and none of the old stuff that was made for this phone will work. I was lucky to be able to get it rooted, it came with vv4 baseband but I figured out ow to downgrade it to vv3 so I could root it and that was a brain buster. LOL!
Thanks guys!
No Luck?
Hum..... No luck with this?
