Ladies and Gentlemen,

I flashed VOID custom ROM on my LG P500, last night. I'm getting Quadrant scores of 1k+. :D

PS: I soft-bricked the phone once, while flashing my phone. ;)

I am getting tired of waiting for the official upgrade too - was just reading up and compiling information on how to root and install a custom ROM.

Congrats! Hows the performance? Battery life?

are you getting a mount failure for the SD card, before the install gets aborted?
"device busy" or something?

Check the MD5 hash of the ZIP file once and see if its matching. My guess would be a corrupted download.

Guys,

I downloaded the ROM again from a different host. Again, getting some error. Have attached the error doc. Please have a look and let me know what this might be? I am on ROM Manager v4.4.0.5 and ClockWorkMod 5.0.1.0

please:

Came across a very good profile switcher app which does many more things than just switching profiles. Its a freeware with no ads and works great. It is location aware (but doesn't use GPS by default, relies on cell info) and you can automate a lot of things depending on where you are and the time of the day. App name is Llama.

It displays the rules you have set in plain English.

Been looking for something like this for a while.

I would not recommend the HTC as HTC sales and support are pathetic. Apart from that you can choose anyone depending on cost and other features. Yes the Nexus supports only 16Gb so if you think you wouldn't need any more storage that 16GB then that's a good choice, otherwise you will have to look at Samsung's.

Between the LCD and AMOLED, i have been using Samsung Galaxy S i9003 LCD since last 6 months and its fine for general use although in sunlight it gets difficult to see whats on the screen. I believe AMOLED will help in such cases. Also pictures on AMOLED look better and sharper. Get into a store and check out the difference.

@Mayank I too used to face this same problem with my SLCD. The solution to this is to simply keep the brightness on 100% in the sun. The screen will definitely be more readable.

What a beauty this First UA ROM is! Been almost 30 hours with continuous EDGE and intermittent WIFI/BT usage and still 30% battery juice left! Not to mention the super fast speed (thanks to the removed warez etc). However I must mention that v 1.1 and v 1.2 of this rom made my phone misbehave a lot. The screen started flickering and phone also crashed once. So as of now, I've settled on v 1.0 without warez.

The only downside I noticed till now is the slightly sluggish start up. Icons take a while to appear. Also, I have not tested the GPS yet. Reports to follow on that front.

samfirmware is now listing Asia Pacific v. 2.3.4 firmware for Galaxy GT-S5570 aka mini aka tab. Need to try it out next.

Plain dumb customer support.

Your problem looks more like bad APN settings.

In the settings menu, under "Wireless and networks", > "Mobile Networks" > "Access Point Nemes", look for a name with "*mms" in it. it is "Idea MMS" for me. (Idea network).

Try the following and see which one succeeds.

1. Switch off and switch on.
2. Switch off, remove the sim card for a few minutes, put it in back and start your phone again. If possible, try putting in a non-Vodaphone sim and starting your phone, before putting the VOdaphone sim.
3. If that too does not work, ask the customer service to re-send you the MMS APN settings.

That will cause the network to resend the APN settings to your phone.

Normally, the APN settings are sent by the network everytime it detects a change in your handset (my experience, this is not the bible). This happens automatically. Some phones will detect this message as a "network message" and some will detect this as an SMS.

Typically, the Android will automatically identify these messages and apply these APN settings on its own. It better do that - it is supposed to be a smart OS. But did not happen for me first time I put in the SIM into my android. I went around without GPRS for a whole day, and tried BSNL sim with full success. Once I re-inserted the Idea SIM, the APN settings were detected automatically.

I have noticed that ROMs for Galaxy Fit and Ace are mostly the same on many forums. If that is the case, you may also try out this S5830DDKQ5 - Stock Gingerbread for Samsung Galaxy Ace India

My apologies. Your report mentions of ROM manager script, and I don't understand what ROM manager is doing if you are flashing a ROM using the clockworkmod recovery. Are you flashing the ROM using the ROM Manager? Please reboot to your device to recovery mode and flash the ROM from there.

Well, it almost worked.. almost. As you thought, i was doing it from ROM Manager earlier, and this time got into recovery and then chose the option of 'Install zip from SD'. Got the message 'Installation Complete', so opted for 'Reboot'. Now on rebooting it is getting stuck on CM7 boot screen. Somehow, seems this is not for me. So going back to restore the nandroid image.

Did you clear the cache and reset the phone - from the recovery menu?
