Hey everyone,
Just wanted to learn about your experience with the OB Kernel + ROM GB Mods.
My main interests are OC for games and clean, no useless apps ROMs for extended battery life and better performance.
I am also seeking out ROMs that won't bug the Wi-Fi or any other basic functionality of the device.
I was thinking CM7 or maybe NOVA 8. But I'm a noob so i want to hear some of the more experimented users' opinions.
Thanks in advance.
If you need a stable rom, please use nova 8 (froyo)
CM is built from AOSP and has many differences with stock roms. Sure it has more bugs than Nova, another advantage from CM is themes and expanded system settings.
Try it yourself, as long you have clockworkmod recovery you're freely to test CM and Nova which one that suits you.

Thanks for the quick reply @lesp4ul.
1.) When the official GB update from LG comes out I must not update if I install NOVA 8 ?
2.) Themes and expanded settings that you say come with CM are not available on NOVA 8 ?
Off-topic: Love your signature pic. Made myself one too, whenever I'll be able to add it to my signature I will. Can't edit my signature now, for reasons i do not fully grasp.

1. Don't ask for ETA, i don't know dude. Also don't start a thread about it. When the update comes you can upgrade it.
2. Because CM7 is a custom gingerbread build by Team Cyanogen, not based from stock rom. So they can add new features that ordinary rom doesn't have. Try it, nightly #20 and Nova kernel 11c. If you don't like it just flash Nova Rom 8 again.

Cool beans. Thanks a lot Also, I think you misunderstood me there, I wasn't asking WHEN the update will be here, just IF I can upgrade to it if I have another ROM/Kernel on my OB.

Aye, AFAIK if you wanna upgrade to GB (when it's available of course),and you have flashed custom ROM, you should downgrade it to the stock/official so then you can get a notif from the LG Updater if the GB is available

Basically, If i put the NOVA 8 on my phone now, whenever the GB update will be available i'll have to restore the stock 2.2 Froyo I have on it now, right ?

Bottom line:
-I'll try both NOVA 8 & CM7 nightly #20 w/ nova kernel 11c
-see which one I like best
-that's 'bout it
All good ?
Oh sorry, btw you're good to go. Backup your contacts and data first.

Hey, another question about the replacement of ROMs. Is it wise to back-up my phone using Titanium so that more data than just the contacts and messages are saved ?
What I'm asking here is: does Titanium also back-up settings and preferences in apps ? Or the installed apps ? I have never used it before and can't really figure this one out by their description on the market...

titanium backs up EVERYTHING. ur apps (stock+installed and their progress), settings and customizations. to sum it up, titanium backup will backup every single bit of ur phone as an image. hope i helped
But i not recommended you to use titanium backup, especially you are migrating to a different rom like CM7, titanium will mess up your OS. use appmonster to backup your apps to sdcard and manually export your contacts to sdcard, also you can backup your sms with go sms.
I suggest you to use nandroid backup if you wanna revert to your original state.

Back-Up queries.........
A very good thread.....
I have installed over hundreds apps/games........ and I have flashed my ROMs over 20 times and still want to do it..he..he.. (everytime, I have to re-install every single app/game one by one.. tediously!?).
Please advise which is the best tool (Titanium back up/Nandroid.....) that after flashing rom (from Nova to CM7, from Nova to Stock......) I can restored the installed apps/games and that remain the configed of these apps/game...
"I suggest you to use nandroid backup if you wanna revert to your original state.": is this means it also revert the OS to original (ie.: if I up from NOVA 8 to CM7, after restore, it will go back to NOVA 8)?
"use appmonster to backup your apps to sdcard and manually export your contacts to sdcard, also you can backup your sms with go sms." Do I need to Restore every single apps/games after that or only 01 click to restore everything?
Great thanks.

Yeap nandroid is like creating system image, if you ever used norton ghost it's somekind like that. It backups everything from the rom.
Appmonster automatically backup every installed apps. It can do batch install also.

Never used Norton Ghost. I've used Drive Image XML though which does the same thing, only better. I'm an IT tech
So basically, I'll just have to use:
- nandroid for creating a back-up to restore the phone to its original state, before flashing and upgrading;
- go sms for the SMSes;
- appmonster for back-uping the apps to the SD;
- manual (my own hands ) for exporting the contacts to the SD card.
Thanks for the tip !
Question: Couldn't the back-up of SMSes and contacts be done through the PC Suite ? Or will it mess up something because it won't recognize the phone anymore after flashing and replacing the stock ROM ?
Question #2: @lesp4paul - What do you mean by "titanium back-up will mes up your OS" ?

CM7 does't recognize PCSuite. But can be done in stock ROM, handy if you plan upgrading to stock ROM (Gingerbread) in the coming days.

I don't even see the point in upgrading to the GB coming up in a few days...
I could just flash the 2.2 NOVA 8 now, then when that ICS ROM comes to XDA I'll upgrade to that.
LE: Sorry if this is becoming annoying, but will THIS KERNEL work with THIS ROM ?
Because in the Kernel thread, it says that it mustn't be flashed on NOVA... I am very confused :-??

Dear Mates,
I have been using Roto rom and started using Overcome for almost a year now. Now I'm all excited again with AOKP for P1000 but after installing I do not see standard apps like Gmail and market. Please help coz new to honeycomb.
You need to flash gapps. Get it from HERE, copy it to your internal sdcard and flash it from cwm.
thanks saav it works.
i have another issue with SD card, found out can install multi mount SD card. so followed instruction and install the multi mount(did not run) and install lucky patcher restarted the tab. But still can't access SD card via tab pr PC if I can using usb cable. Pls help
I'm using build #31. Is this Ice cream sandwich or honeycomb? I just followed others on the naming of the thread but the interface seems like honeycomb.Pls enlighten me. thx
Build 31 is based on android 4.0.4 so it's ice cream sandwich not honeycomb. As for the sd card issue, install root explorer or root browser lite (free from the market) and you'll find the contents of your external sdcard under /emmc or /mnt/emmc.

I suggest you flash using overcome gb-stock safe V5 before flashing to AOKP ICS because stock gb using rfs so by using overcome gb-stock safe v5 it will convert the file system ext4

Hi
Long time observer & admire you guy here on what you do, this website has helped alot but now i finally have a question.
With Paranoid Droid v0.2 i have followed Dr.Ketan's guide to downgrade & then root/install cwm & then update back to 2.3.6 via ODIN Mobile, the root is cf-root on a Galaxy Note, can i flash this rom with what i have currently?
Thanks in advance.
You are on rooted Gb and yes you can flash it safely. Wipe data and cache and flash the rom ...then flash the gapps. All done
I assume i flash it with ODIN Mobile & not from CWM?
I think i got it (it installed all fine etc) via CWM.
How do i get all the S-Pen apps back? are they on the market?

The S-pen apps will not work in this rom.
Thanks for the info, but i have now gone back to official firmware, so i assume only roms tweaked from the original source will have the feature set still? even so it was also missing the built in FM Radio app to listen to local radio without needing to stream it.
On a side note, whats the deal i been hearing with Touchwiz 5.0 some people say its on the Note others same its 4.0. Which version is it & what is the differences?

Try out some good roms
Also have some hands on some apps which requires root access here
First install CWM and then find some awesome ROMs and install them!
Install a custom kernel (Battery Extender i think is the best available for stock rom) and a cpu controll app. Than mod the build.prop file in system to get better overall performance. Also you can install Adrenaline Engine or other script to improve performance.

If you want to stay on your stock rom for a bit longer:
-> getting rid of all the Samsung bloatware and all the unnecessary apps that are clogging up the phone.
You might even notice a boost in responsiveness by doing that, at least it seemed that way to me back in the day.
Use Titanium Backup to do so and look up what apps are save to delete before (!!).
From memory some safe-to-delete apps are: all of samsung apps, gallery (replace it first), radio, sms app (if you replace it first), browser (replace it first)
Partition your sd card if you have one and use that partition to increase your internal memory.

Hello to everybody
I have my Nexus One with AmonRA and CM 7.2.0 Passion (Android 2.3.7). Do I need to install BlackRose to install VJ JellyBean (CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V5.4) or could I install it with Amon_RA?
Thank you
Yup, you will need it to repartition your system partition. The current stock partition that you have will not work with JB roms

I have some partitions yet ...
I am using Link2SD a year ago with my actual ROM, so I have two partitions in my SDCARD:
- 14,36 GB FAT
- 487,84 MB Ext4
Is that enough for JB????
Thank youuu

Its not about your SD card partitions. This is about your ROM and how it's partitioned. The stock partition that is currently present is :
145/90/Data - where 145 Mb is for your system, 90 for cache and the rest for your apps. This stock partition is enough for GB ROMs. However, for JB (esp . VJ's rom) you will need to alter your partition to : 260 for system, 10 for cache and the rest for data. That's where BlackRose comes in. It helps you reflash your partition.

Sorry my ignorance. I didn't know what was "ROM stock" related to. Your explanation is perfect.
I'm having some problems of memory, despite my configuration with Link2SD and that I only have in memory applications like Google+, Link2SD, GoLauncher, ContacPlus and AlarmDroid. However is difficult to make updates without running out of memory.
I want to install JB ROM not only for his new features, I presume my problems of memory will dissapear too ... am I wrong about it?
Thank you
