Hi everyone,firstly BIG Kudos to the dev's and the community for making these rom's possible. Secondly,i have flashed my son's GT540 with this rom and evrything is good except when i turn the phone off it restarts just as soon as it turns off,just wondered if it is a bug with this rom or it is the phone. Never did it until i flashed with this rom,anyone else having the same?

If the USB is plugged in... yer, that's perfectly normal... there is no "power off" charging anymore sadly. (That's Stock ROMS only)
(If it just refuses to ever shut down, no that's not normal... indicates faulty hardware)

I have made it to install new CyanogenMod 7.1  i am very pleased with 2.3.5  now its like new mobile phone.Only thing in this tutorial wasn't said and it is IMPORTANT to said, if you have 2.1 or older, you have to do is to WIPE DATE -easyiest way to that is to go in recovery mod (home+ON buton) and do that before you install new 2.3.5 Android.
I have also put in performance menu cpu clock on 743mhz and now my LG is Flying.

Well, no it doesn't say you need to... but that's why the exe installer asks if it's an upgrade of fresh install (fresh install wipes all the data, upgrade does not... for obvious reasons)...

However I do agree that the guide needs some clean up. (Needs to be easier for those non-english)

I have v2.1 on LG 540, I followed instructions exactly, but I am stuck at number 8, I did this:

8- Now clic “Launch software update”, DO NOT USE THE PC TO THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. THE PHONE WILL REBOOT WHEN FINISHED THE PROCESS IN KDZ. (The process takes about 15 minutes in KDZ).


and about 2 minutes text log writes and stopped, I am now waiting more then 40 minutes my phone didn't reboot. On display is still written download mode, what should I do now ?
In kdz is written:
3GQCT: wParam = 205. IParam = 36

Here I am again

I've got phone today from service (not official LG service), repairman just manage to wake up phone so I can turn it On, but when I turn it I get black screen with message on it ''download mode''. Now computer recognize phone when I plug it, and I tried to update or flash it with kdz updater but have no luck
I launch kdz in emergency mode, load rom with updater, press launch button, and process started, (get messages unpacking software etc.) but after 3-4 minutes I notice that computer is blocked I couldn't do anything with mouse pointer, and I waited 15 minutes but computer is still blocked, even time on computer is stopped. I tried this procedure few times, every time it is same. Also tried to disable lg virtual modem in device manager. Any idea what I could do ?

p.s. repairman in service told me that he tried it to flash it with riff box, process started but after few minutes if stopped and blocked his riff box

p.s.2
when I plug in usb I also got this message as in picture ''driver instalation''  in the middle never ends installing software, is it important ?

Just flashed this and everything works fine except the gps. Using gps test it can't find any satellites even after half an hour, does it need to be reflashed or can I fix it?

FIXED: Just needed to go into recovery and fix permissions.

Thanks.

In the android logo:
1-> Get off the baterie.
2-> Turn on the phone and enter in fastboot(press camera button + pwr until a black screen appears)
3-> Type "fastboot -w" in command prompt, wait a second and then type "fastboot reboot"
4-> Your phone will me fine .


   I hope its helps

This is due to a error in the function used to search the Networks (Problem is also in RC4, it's in all of the 2.3.5's). -- I believe it last functioned in the M* releases.

Automatic registration works fine though and is quite adequate for normal usage of the phone...

Most providers will have a list of usable networks, Automatic will switch over to these networks when needed... this generally does not need to be done manually except for in areas where you have coverage from 2 networks but the Network Preferred  has a weaker signal than the next available network... Automatic will follow the preference list where signal is available on those networks regardless of the signal strength.

Now on a different topic... can anyone provide some tips to Hiding/Removing the Screenshot option from the Power Menu?

It's really damn annoying having that blasted option locked there (Specially when I let my niece play Sims on my phone... and it comes back with SD card full of random screenshots every time, now I can remove the APK and prevent the filling of space, but that just leaves a "dead option" which is just as bad...)

Thankfully I've already managed to hide the Recovery and Bootloader options from the Reboot menu.
(I don't need an extra option to do what buttons on my phone already do... and it's not really a smart idea to have the recovery so easily available when it's capable of wiping all data on the phone without any kind of security lock. Unless you just never let it go.)

Hi I'm about to start the update on a cousin's gt540 and before going ahead with the procedure I just wanted to know if it makes any difference if
1. I am on stock 1.6/2.1 ROM
2. Whether I am rooted already or not( I have not rooted).
3. Also if I am looking to keep this as my permanent rom is there any need to install CWM? or does it install automatically?
4. Thanks to the developer!

[faethie]

Hello, I'm new here, congrats on your efforts to help us simple minded users!

I have completed the update succesfully, 2.3.5 is working fine, but I have one question: where is the screen calibration option? When I try to type the wrong letters keep getting pressed all the time. I have huge fingers and in 2.1 the screen calibration option helped quite a bit. I cannot find it in this mod. where is it? Please help cause right now it is almost impossible for me to write an SMS.
