hi guys!
I have recently bought a GT540 and I have a few questions, since I'm new to android. My device came with 1.6 and I flashed the greek 2.1 rom on it.
- do I need hungarian language in the rom if I want to have hungarian characters when I write messages? (I use the phone in English)
- what is the difference between the Vasquez and Quarx rom? which one is better?
- can I remove the stock browser to free more space for other apps without issues?
- when trying to flash the Quarx rom, I my phone was mounted both in Debug USB and mass storage USB mode. After the install, all my apps and contacts remained intact, but the phone became very sluggish and the status bar wasn't changed to black. Since then I discovered that mobile internet isn't working. I have also installed the CWR 2.5.0.5, but no matter which rom I flashed, my apps would remain as well as my contacts, and mobile internet is out the window. how can I wipe the flash completely and do a clean install (I tried factory reset, but mobile internet is still broken)?
- if I send my phone to LG to repair it, will they find out I have CWR installed? (I'm planning to flash the baltic rom before sending it in.)
Thanks for your help people!
For the mobile internet.. have you checked your settings?
You can find your settings at the site of the network operator!
for the Roms its really down to personal preference. i use the quarx Rom because i like it and its free from crap.
the quarx Rom cannot be flashed like a normal Rom. it has to be installed through the recovery mod. if your flashing from 2.1 to a different 2.1 then all the information will be saved.
its only if your moving up a Rom number that you lose everything.
you can remove the stock browser if your phone is rooted through titanium or root explorer.
do you have clockwork recovery?

yes, I have CWR installed.
so my phone went bogus because I flashed the quarx rom with kdz updater, now I know.
but what happened to the mobile internet? I had quick settings installed and mobile internet was switched off when the flashing was done. I guess that is the problem, but since then, reinstalling quick settings doesn't show the option to turn mobile internet on or off, and doing a factory reset didn't help either. in the settings, I choose automatic network selection, and it says connected, but no internet whatsoever in browser or market or anywhere...
I have flashed the baltic rom with kdz updater after a factory reset, and it gave an error at the end of the process. since then, I'm stuck at the android screen on boot. I can reach the CWR menu, but flashing anything didn't help with the mobile internet. So I sent the phone to LG pretending the installer crashed during the 2.1 update through their site. hopefully they will wipe everything and I'll have mobile internet again.
anyway, why couldn't I get mobile internet back to work after factory reset + reflash?

Ok, so I have a rooted Nexus One with cyanogen 6.0rc3 on it. I recently tried to put cyanogen 6.1 on it so I could upgrade to 7.0. Then, I see the common glitch where there is no market so I revert back to my old rom which I made a backup for(using ROM Manager). So here comes the hard part, when it restores my ROM, have no apps, no nothing which I downloaded, and I tried to restore again, because ROM Manager reinstalled, but I didn't get anything. Can some tell me how to get my data and all my stuff back, please?!?!?!?! If I don't get help by the end of the month, my service gets cut off, so I really need help!!!! Please help guys, thanks in advance, you guys are the bomb!!!!

What's that supposed to mean? You lose service because you don't have the data on your phone restored?
Are you using apps2sd?
I feel like you have no chance of restoring anything at the moment though.
If you have a custom recovery, just wipe and start again, or restore your backup... Make sure you have a gapps package that is compatible with your ROM...

All your apps will be in the market under 'my apps' and as long as you have synched with Google servers all your data should be retrieveable by re-synching.

You don't need to go to cm6.1 to get to cm7. Even on 6.1 you need to do a full wipe anyway to eliminate any potential problems.
Also did you happen to use CWM 3.0?

Thank you. I finally got this to work as far as I have the Super User app installed on the phone. I thought if I had this then the phone is def rooted yet when I try to delete ATT bloat ware it still won't let me.
Is this only because its still running the factory 2.2 froyo. Will the full SU benefits be there one I flash whatever ROM he wants on Monday ?
And what is the best rom for the cap ? I have the Eris running a GB rom that I love but I'm sure this phone is different
go to the market, download titanium backup. use that to uninstall, unwanted bloat...you cannot use the native package installer/uninstaller to remove system apps.

Tried using Astro and E Strongs both and niether worked and they are non native. I'll give TBU a try.
Tbu is the most popular app users use to remove apps. And it worked for me do I hope it can work for you

What ROM do most cap users seem to like these days that stable and quick.

besides that,,, research research.

My personal preference... Firefly.
The Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta.
ok i have to agree... firefly...
Thanks all. I don't think it's going to matter since when I reboot into recovery I do not have the option to "flash zip from sd card". I got it rooted, installed rom manager and flashed clockwork but to no avail. This all seemed to go so smoothly when I did our eris phones.
I have his "wireless tether" working and was able to delete a ton of ATT bloatware but I think he's going to stuck with the stock ATT 2.2 ota rom.

As you have already been told in this thread you need to make sure you have modified your 3e recovery to allow cwm to work.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Check out TRusello's signature "3e recovery fix" also after you boot into recovery from rom manager you have to "reinstall packages" twice, then you will see all the options...

you need to reinstall packages in recovery twice.
also you need the to fix 3e recovery before you can flash the cwm .zip.
look @ the stickies in the general section. there is a thread on working around 3e recovery. it contains a link to a batch script that'll fix it
there is also odin(tethered) that can replace the kernel with one that has cwm baked in
and sgs kernel flasher in the market that can do the same from the phone as long as it's rooted.
bit.ly is great...
3e fix in my sig 100 hits to-date (dirty version)
3e fix in the 3e thread 1 hit (cleaner version)
lol

So I was trying to backup my current ROM on my LG Thrill 4G (rooted) right using ROM Manager?
I click ok to saving it then click allow to superuser and then it did a freaking factory reset instead of backing up WTF!? I downloaded ROM manager again and tried restoring it but there was no existence of the backup that I did if it was even completed. So wtf to ROM Manager, worst app ever -.-
If anyone has any suggestions how I recover all my stuff back by ROM manager (Cause I don't want to redownload all those apps) feel free to leave a comment here. If anyone else experienced this comment here. Just wtf, so pissed off right now.

Don't use rom manager use the cwm thread in the o3d forums
sent from my acidhazard thrill
I flashed CWM Recovery touch on to my Thrill using that forum thread and it worked ingeniously. I boot into CWMR and do my backups in there and I also do my data wipe/dalvik wipe there.
Much easier then using an actual app like Rom Manager or Rom Toolbox.
Unfortunately, you can not get back what happened. You're going to have to start all over from scratch.
Noob question
Is there any point in having Rom Manager on the LG Thrill? The only thing I can think of is using the paid feature to get notifications about rom updates, but not sure if that would work.

Not in my opinion. Just flash a ROM/etc. from CWMR.
I've used rom manager to install both CWM Recovery and the touch version with no problems at all. I also use the app to reboot into CWM Recovery rather than holding the buttons, but I've never used it to create a back up or flash a rom.

hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai
Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.
Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai
If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.
a billion thanks doc for helping out!! though it failed in phone mode...worked in PDA mode and best thing is that i have all my data aswell.
thanks a ton and respect to you!!

glad to know you recovered it, basically it was not a big issue, just bad flashing
Now if you want to recording MOD, don't flash zip but just copy files manually in flight mode.
thanks nokiamodeln91
and doc, right now i just flashed to LR9 by your method...rooted it and now installing mods...
your help has given me so much of confidence that everything seems so cool to do.
thanks a tons once again!!
(will trouble again if i mess up)
ewwww all my user installed apps have now gone grey!! followed everything to the T. did not do a clean install though
and though the phone has rooted i still dont hv supersu in appl drawer even after flashing the second way you mentioned...just letting you know so that you can check it out
Have you installed app to sd card?
This is bug on new launcher, move them to phone number everything will be fine.

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..
No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.
yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?
No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

2-3 weeks ago i updated my lg p990 to ics v30a using smart flash. and soon after upgrading i fond that ics is creating problems.
it crashes and phones reboots and dis happens all the time. sometimes it reboots when i am entering my sim pin. sometimes when am working on net and someone calls i pick up the phone reboots. i was so fu**ed up that i decided to root it bt that too didnt work.
What i used :-
1--> superoneclick --- it didnt work.
2--> root unlocker-- didnt work
3--> android root -- didnt work
4-->z4root -- didnt work
5--> even tried that bin4ry stuff that too didnt work. asks for restore i press restore and the shell runs forever.

you mean to say installing the zip rom using CWM recovery??
if thats what u mean. then ive done that it fails. i think i might be using the wrong zip.
also tried to install kdz doesnt work says device not responding something.
i did that using the start upgrade ****. the window for selecting language never opens. only thing opens is the lg mobile support tool. and again when i click on upgrade start it shows message that lg support tool is already running.
the only thing working is the smartflash that i used to install that buggy ics rom.
i think flashing gingerbread using smartflash might work. bt i upgraded to ics coz of that buggy gingerbread.
i just want to ask why the hell my phone keeps on rebooting ???? (i cant even chat on whatsapp for more than 15 mins it reboots )
also sometimes when i put my phone on charging.
and do u thing gingerbread will root without that many problems??

make a complete wipeor factory reset....use the ALL IN ONE TOOL KIT by Spyrosk....check for the thread in development section....and start from the scratch....will be good.DONT FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR DATA IF ANY
for GB, it was easy....for ICS it is not too difficult either
Or you could use Progmaq to restore your device to a clean cm7 build. This will wipe all your data. It wipes everything in your device, all partitions. A full guide can be found on xda here.

If you can't root your phone, that's mean that you don't have APX drivers. You can download them manually or you can just simply download AIO Tool kit and in main menu press letter ''I''. Before installing APX drivers you must have LG drivers for your phone.
When you're done with that, for rooting press 3, or for flashing stock rom press 7.
If you press 7, new window will pop up. It's smartflash tool which allows you to flash stock rom. You just need to find and download stock rom which one you would like to flash.
Hope it helps
