a small confusion.. maybe not~~ but just to clarify..
I have a stock vibrant which has 2.1 .. and if i decide to root it and install a custom ROM .. should i install a ROM which is based on 2.1 eclair??? Or can i install a 2.2 froyo custom rom on my stock 2.1?? please help.. Are the custom ROMS version specific.. eg - a 2.1 custom rom can only be installed on 2.1 stock rom??? i hope u guys get it thank you~~
i would if i was you lol , ,go froyo !
Yes you can install a custom rom based on android 2.2 /w flashplayer! May I suggest team whiskey 's Nero v5 w/tw....
sent from my "customized by nero" kick ass vibrant!
Yes you can go to any custom rom from any version. lots of info in the stickies for reference
I suggest 2.2 huge performance boost. Remember you can flash from 2.1 to 2.2, but must odin from 2.2 back to 2.1. Just a heads up
so to be simple.. what are the top 5 roms out there now.. i know its silly not to google it.. but there are a whole lot!!! cant choose !! and does anyone know if i will lose my unlock after installing a custom rom?? thank you!!

There isn't a list of the 'Top 5 Roms' because everyone has there own preference. I would recommend that you look around & install what catches your eye, if you don't like it.. Try something else.
wat about the unlock issue then?? will my phone get locked again if i install a rom??
Whats the best rom for my LG Optimus One (P500h) ?
2.2.2 stock room with root. Since the beginning I always was using custom roms, but this is my personal opinion in the past few months I prefer the stock room with root, which I can make any tweak I want, and doesn't have battery drain and bugs that some custom rooms have.
And cause many of the custom rooms are based in 2.2, and 2.2.1+ had some updates that repaired VPN that I use a lot. I couldn't be more happy with it, cause it gives me a lot of experience messing with android too.
There is no best ROM. You choose what suites you. Now, if I were to tell you that the best ROM for me is Light, would you choose it too? It doesn't come with Darktremor, so no one else except non-Darktremor users use it.
Point is, look at what the ROMs bring. Choose according to what you need or what you don't need.
However, if you want something widely used by the people here, use void/devoid or LOL or Megatron or Prime or the other ROMs with popular threads on the Dev subforum
I use the stock Rom rooted with a overclocking kernal
Very fast.
Andy's 2.3.2 Gingerbread
LOL v1.2 with fixed Kernel

I downloaded the official rom from lg website to my country and decompress it, and with this kitchen added root, and left the rest untouched.
pedroh: how can we tell version is the original ROM on LG website? Can you also share the instruction on how to install the kitchen? I am using v10c (2.2) firmware.
I do not have the links anymore, but I know how to do it, but google it is similar procedure as making your own rom.
if u stay on 2.2 use Void echo, if 2.2.2 is ur choice the u can flash Nessy.. its a good ROM . however i am using 2.3.3 andy gingerbread... though its in developing stage but i am quite happy with some bugs in it...
I'm using Optimus X rom, it has the best performance for the limited CPU frequency on the LG p500, but with a good kernel you can eeek out a extra 170MHz - 206 MHz out of the processor.
I'm running the rooted stock Froyo 2.2 and Mik's mutlitouch kernal overclocked.
I'm using my Nessy ROM!

Hi guys,
First, sorry for my English... I'm Brazilian... =x
Well... i have bought a LG P500 and i really don't know what i will do with it, because i don't understand this whole thing about custom roms, kernel, custom recovery, ...
But i'm reading some articles and i'm in a doubt... what i do?
I install a Custom ROM (like void forever 2.3.4)?
or
I install the 2.3 GB (Officil FW)?
Thanks!

I'm talking about speed of the system, a fix to the touch bug and more...

void. #forevah.
LOL. "What is the best" asks for a nice flamewar. Would suggest to use the phone with stock FW for a while, perhaps just root it and continue reading.
Why?
The one advantage that I (a noob) can see, is the language (the void rom is available in PT-BR, but the official FW is available only in PT-PT... =s).
The official FW can allow me to fix the touch bug?
And what is the other advantages? It is really faster? The perfomance is better?
Thanks!

The stock FW? Froyo or Gingerbread? And why? I'm thinking my p500 a little slow... and the touch bug? =\

Since you're new in this I'd suggest you to take it easy atm. especially while we have ported gb, official gb, different basebands etc etc you'll get confused. Keep your current stock, root it and try to install recovery. After that you should try flashing some froyo roms or CM or andy's and you see how it goes. Baby steps

There is no touch bug on 2.3.3 stock ROM. Other than that - really, take your time and do some reading. You are asking horribly generic questions.

Sorry for the questions...
And I'm already doing some reading about custom firmware and this whole thing...
I just want to know your opinions about this... if is better a cfw or the official GB fw
Thanks!
Hi, fellow brazilian here. I suggest you start by rooting your phone, install recovery then install franco.kernel v18cfs. It will fix the touch bug, speed up ur phone and will give you great battery life. This way youll have a tottaly bug free device.
As others said, wait a little before installing a custom rom. They all have little bugs, enjoy stock froyo for a while and keep reading the forum.

Try Mik ROm based on 2.3.4. This is best so far with franco kernel V18

Oh, yes...
I have read about this Custom ROM! In a poll in this forum, it is winning with a good difference...
Well, can you answer three questions, please? =D
1 - This Custom is really better than Noejn's?
2 - It is available in my language? (PT-BR)
3 - How many points this custom makes in a benchmark?
Thanks!
=D
After flashing recovery, don't forget to make a complete nandroid backup from custom recovery, before you start messing with your phone... So u can always restore your current firmware.
..
Erm and copy it to pc..

After rooting, flashing custom recovery and kernel, I have to make the nandroid backup, right?
Obs.: I have the OFW Backup. The backup that you are talking about is from the custom recovery, right?
Thanks!
And about my questions in the past post?

Root, install recovery and do a nandroid backup. Its easier to restore the stock rom using recovery, and safer too.
I can see you are eager to install gb on your device, despite our suggestion to keep your stock rom for a while. Then i suggest you flash mik's cm7, IMO the best rom out there.
Every rom based on cm7 has pt-BR, and in my experience mik's cm7 + franco.kernel + ungaze's data2sd is the fastest combo available.

Obrigado, amigo nordestino! =D
But what is "ungaze's data2sd" and where i can get the PT-BR version?
Thanks! ;D
Edit.:
I didn't found the tutorial about the Nandroid Backup... anyone can send it to me?
And now I know what is data2sd... =D
Thanks!
Edit²:
What rooting i should do?
SuperOneClick or z4root?
And what Custom Recovery? Mik's?
Thanks again!
Please, someone!
XD
ungaze data2sd is script for making some memory of your sd card function as phone memory....so that you can install more apps without moving them all time to sd.....as suggested go step by step....
1.root your phone using gingerbreak.
2.install rom manager from market.
3.install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.(dunno abt language)
4.reboot into recovery and do a backup of rom.(nand :there is an option in rom manager menu too :"backup rom")
5.flash franco 18.1.
6.flash rom of your choice.(mik /andy/noejn anyone .....better ones from them are on the way)
take your time after each step...dont be in a hurry...and complete this before asking other questions!!
hit thanks if i helped you
Thanks man!
But, one question...

I would have went with CM7 since Gingerbread is newer than Eclair with many more capabilities and optimizations. It's still your choice though and if you just don't want gingerbread (for some reason), you could go with Froyo (linked in that thread) which is also newer than Eclair.

Follow the steps here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...gingerbread-rom-on-huawei-u8120-vodafone-845/ (skip step 2 if you are going to flash a different rom).
There is any problem if I flash a different ROM?
So here is my progress:
1)I flashed my Vodafone 845 with Clockworkmod Recovery and I installed ROM manager
2)I tried to install the Roms from previous replys but no luck!After I press install the phone reboots
in install menu and then it gives me an error reboots right away!
What can I do?Thanks in advance

That could be a problem. You´ll need a custom kernal for a good performance.
A custom kernel is especially build for GB and yours is for eclaire and current roms which are verry smooth work just with custom kernal.
That's bad tommorow i will try to unlock it Though i still dunno how to.Those tutorials are so bad(no offence )
Edit:Can someone give me tutorial in which links are actually working ?
