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!

hai friend
in which method u chose for overclocking stock rom?
please my qn
devoid.franco with his kernel, although it's not yet on it's best.
Hi, does that exist? Can it be possible?
I think user cyber_avijit's GB rom is what you are looking for.

My issue with these custom roms
Before ranting about my relatively bad experiences with custom roms, I'd like to thank the community for its hard work to make our experience a little more enjoyable.
So I bought the Optimus One and messed with it until I recently discovered custom roms for it. I payed $150 for the smartphone so I decided to get a little more out of it thinking that I got a great deal.
I've tried several custom roms but they're either extremely buggy, drain the battery too quickly or are just not stable enough to use at times you need it the most. Now who am I to say this? Just a user. I should stay out of this and stick with stock roms if I'm not happy. Right. But I'd like to know why so many people trip over these incomplete custom roms when they take the good thing of what a smart phone should be... A smart phone! I get almost no battery life with ciaox's rom, he brags about having the most "performant" rom out there and insults people who try to create something more stable. Who cares about overclocking your P500 when you can't leave the house without charging it? I know that there are several tweaks that can be added to the P500 without even needing to overclock, which makes a noticeable difference in the UI but I can still say that battery life sucks and/or the OS is unstable.
Is there a STABLE rom that takes MINIMAL energy with more PERFORMANCE than stock? I do not care about 3d games because this phone is not made for that, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that it can be.
Thanks
Have you tried Mik_os CM7, I get good results with it, Ive never used anything by Ciaox

Hmmm.... Use the v20c from my signature? If you want to remove crapware, flash signed_decrapify_v20c.zip (attached), run
Code:
$ su
# appinst
from terminal emulator and uninstall whatever you want.
Result? Stock rooted 2.3.3, stock kernel, crapware removed.

Ofcourse thats possible! i hav the exact same thing in fact.
Official GB 2.3.3 V20C, rooted with super one click, flashed cwm recovery, threw out all the crapware (if u r referin to useless apps)! ---> is this is what u meant!
Added the script above. Only for stock v20c ROM. If something breaks, your own fault.
great, is it possible to have stock kernel with just oc enabled?

Hey
Have been drawn towards MiniCMSandwich for my Xperia Mini Pro as would love features of ICS on my phone
However, was thinking of all ROMS and thought maybe there was a better ROM for me? Of course, one of the most popular in CM7 but would it work for me? I want ideally the menu etc of ICS as well of the reported speed of it but which ROM will give me that?
Secondly wanted to ask about Flashing. On the Wotanserver website I have seen I can flash to 4.0.2........ but what problems would that have? Or would it be better than the MiniCM ROM?
Or should I just wait until SE release the official update in 2 months?
Thanks
Your phone already has 4.0.2.A.0.xx update. Just check in Settings-About Phone. WotanServer offers stock firmware and kernel for all 2011 Xperia phones(and lots others). You can use it to restore your phone to fully stock system if you need it, like when ICS comes out, then you need to have fully stock.
Hybrom is currently stock-based and stable with lots of customization.
Most other custom ROMs(MiniCM, CM7, CM9 etc) have quite lots of bugs, but you need to read the ROM's topic to find these out.
I have Live with Walkman myself, so I am not aware for another phones.
You can try out different ROMs, install one, try for some time, if you don't like it, install another one etc.
Custom ROMs will require custom kernel also(some of these include self, some don't) and unlocked bootloader(if you do that, stay away from OTA updates, else you will brick your phone). Don't forget these
If you decide to stay on stock ROM, get it rooted(you can read my tutorial, if you need help with it) and get rid of some unneeded system apps. Also, then you can yourself customize it as much as you want.

Thank you for that. When you say my phone has the 4.0.2 update available does that mean I can get all the features of ICS? So the menu/home screen etc?
In your opinion, would you say that you should go for a Custom MiniCMSandwich, or then wait until June and get the official 4.0 update from SE?
Or am I misunerstanding and is ICS with all features already available for my XMP?
Thanks

No, it is Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but 4.0.2.A.0.xx is a version number for Gingerbread update. ICS is not released yet.
I haven't tested MiniCMSandwich myself, haven't had time nor interest. Also, I have a Live with Walkman, which means some parts are not working on this ROM at the moment(from what I have read).
I use a MIUI ROM(link in my signature, click the ROM name), but this version is only for Live with Walkman. At least it works fine for me, only some small bugs that are not a problem for me.

Hmmmmm... Not sure now whether to stick with 2.3 for now then go for the proper ICS update later in June or get ICS now with a few little bugs.
The MIUI ROM for XMP has quite a few problems such as data not working so don't think that is an option for me
Any other ICS ROMS or is that it?
Thanks

MIUI is ICS based, even though it's visual part and some other stuff are completely different.
for gingerbread i would definitely recommend Hybrom v16, completely stable, lighting fast, really good package.
for ICS: MiniCMsandwich by Kamarush, works really well, not as stable as Hybrom, but for ICS very acceptable.
any custom rom is better than stock, the least would be a rooted stock to get rid of all the bloatware, that really helps with speed AND battery.

I obviously know how to root, but after rooting how do I get rid of the bloatware? Is there a thread made or a website I can you use that explains it?

1.Gb is more stable than ics,and gaming etc is better on gb
2.the latest gingebread version for our phones is 2.3.4
3.Rooting shouldnt be a problem,there are a lot of tools in development section
4.If you want ics custom rom try real ics r5.2 it was the best for me, when you want gingerbread try my rom (signaature)hasa rom by sandy07,or nerodroid
Note:To install custom roms you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash kernel manually (This will void garanty,i think in samsung the kernel flashes automaticly in CWM) But there are also custom roms that can be installed on locked bootloader my rom,hasa gb,real ics etc
Hope i helped you

ohh so i can't install custom rom yet if my phone is still under warranty not like in samsung they said it will only void the warranty once you open your phone aka hardware.
is the real ics r5.2 is stable and its like an official ICS?
mind telling me what are the issues of ICS on xperia ray.

You can install a custom Rom,just unlock bootloader wich will void guarantee but you can also relock it and you can use Roms that work on locked bootloader,Real Ics is a very great Rom,its stable and much faster than stock Rom,
Only issues i think are the LED when you receive sms or missed a Call they dont work

I'll try to answer it, hope can help you
1. GB is more stable, more efficient on battery, good for gaming.. but it's ok too if you want to upgrade it to ICS, actually it's stable and good though GB is a bit better.. if you want more rocks on ICS then do some tweaks or use Custom kernel and ROM
Issues just lag on your phone but it just a little bit and if you try to use phone like a monster device(?)
2. Latest GB from Google is 2.3.7, but on Ray (Official Sony) 2.3.4
3. No .. there too many ways and awsome people will break up the shadow!
4. The Best ROM.. everyone have different experience for use their phone and CusROM also offer different advantages, so it's all back to you again..
Tips from me , if u want use CusROM for daily use then choose ROM wif minimal bugs or NO BUG..
That's from me, thanks

as of my experience:
1. Yes ics is really brilliant but and has a smoother web broeser than gb. however its main issues are you just cant play some games on it as well as its a real pain for hd graphical games to play , might cause serious lags fcs in games. for such reasons i rolled back to gb.
2.ics can handle certain things faster than gb but as we know Xperia 2011 series are now classified as low range phones.because they've got single core 1 ghz with 210/512 mb ram which is only meant for gb only.
rooting is not a big issue once you've rooted ur phone the rest is like a butter. latest official rom is 2.3.4
3 for thhe custom rom 2.3.7 is best.
4. you'd better buy Galaxy Ace2( Dual core processor .and 750 mb of ram space its a good device for ics and gaming (which sported by mali gpu 400.:good:

GB is smoother and I updated to ICS and downgraded again, wlan has bugs and some games don't work...
Better stay on gingerbread

Difficult because of the locked bootloader. I would just stay on stock rom and remove the crap. A list for apps which can be uninstalled without risk can be found somewhere here in the forum.
If you want to run a custom rom, you could try a MIUI rom, but there are still some bugs and stock gingerbread firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 or .69 is a nice rom, too and there are less bugs. If you want a different theme maybe use a launcher (holo launcher for ics/jb feeling, miui launcher for miui, go launcher with multiple themes, maybe you could use Launcher 7 for windows mobile screen, just what you want)
if you want better gaming performance is gingerbread, but if you want full ics look although I tried several games ics and work well without lag, but nothing compared to the smoothness of gingerbread is my opinion :highfive:

Gb is good have more performance. But in ics your performance will get lower bit

I have bought this phone that i can be upgraded but when upgrade came many said that it is not good to upgrade so wat is the use of upgrade if it doeds not work smoothly like this company say that there phone is upgradable.

Sorry for English !
If i can i will stay to GB , but i have update to ICS and i have some bugs... Main bug is that i broke my camera , now i have a worst camera in the world . I downgrade but it still have the camera bug , so don't update , stay to .62
better stick with GB, but if u want u can try upgrade to ICS or custom ICS rom and if u feel not good for u, u can always downgrade to GB with flashtool
First of all: about ics:
It has a nice ui and is smooth
But Performance is bader:
In ICS battery is draininge 2-4 percent per hour (Standby)
In gb battery is draining Max. 0.5 percent per hour (Standby)
GB runs much faster and smoother without lags,You can almost play every game with gb in ics Games are laggy and gaming is Not comfortable
You can Try my Rom if You wan See signature its for locked bootloader so You want lose warranty

Latest is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and it should be available ota (=over the air). Just start update center and search for the update, you should find it (if you aren't currently on .62!)
Only do that if you have a locked bootloader (*#*#7378423#*#*>service info > configuration > Rooting status > bootloader unlocked allowed: yes/no)

You should be able to flash a new one with flashtool, but I don't know if flashing a WT19i on WT19a is clever, cause the difference is baseband related?! (Correct me if that's wrong)
Here you can find a 4.0.2.A.0.58, that could be the latest. But I don't know on which you are currently on, cause I don't know the 4.0.1.A.0.238, but I guess it's older. I think you should be able to root (cause it's gingerbead) it easily, if you want. For that look in my signature
Edit:: Does anybody know which is later? 4.0.2.A.0.58 or 4.0.1.A.0.238. Maybe you are on the latest firmware for your device!
If you wanna root, you will have to downgrade to .58. How to do that is in my rooting guide
I have ICS .587 works perfect, the only detail is with all 2011 and is the LED, this does not turn the screen off, but in performance I work very well, plus is very fluid and battery life more. I recommend you to use the better flow of Serajr Home
