Guest Celtic67 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Well I think I installed as described,got message phone is up to date but phone still shows Android 2.2.1 I am on Orange but the LG site includes Orange LGP500 as upgradeable so where am I going wronmg? I'm on T-Mobile, as is hecatae, so it could be that Orange haven't finished bloating Gingerbread yet. I still can't get LG's site to show me the list of available roms, so can't check what Orange are on. Where did you see it say that it's got an upgrade available? If you remove your battery & make a note of your phone's serial number, then go here: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/svc/popup/model_check.jsp?model=LGP500&esn=123ABCD456789 Change 123ABCD456789 to your own serial number. You should see something like this: LGP500 ATMUBK 123456789012345 123ABCD456789 Make a note of the number highlighted in red, then go to: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=123456789012345 That should show the latest version available on your network. Mine shows V20G_00. What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orange P500 is on a list on the LG Suite so I assumed I could upgrade but every time LG Suite says Ive the latest software,thanks for your help I think the best thing is for me to ask at an Orange shop about 2.3.3 Tried the hidden menu pager & SW version is LG-P500-V10r HW version P500_REV_1_1 Edited July 12, 2011 by Bob1942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on a generic 2.3.3, i'm using the T-mobile UK 20g update as the base, removing the t-mobile boot animation, removing all unnecessary t-mobile apps, etc I'm working through the T-Mobile version, uninstalling bits & pieces, but was going to post about it. What have you been able to remove? I'm struggling to get rid of Mobile Jukebox and Mobile TV & Video, among others. I seem to have got rid of whatever was keeping it awake all the time, though. I was going to have a search & see if I could find the annoying T-Mobile boot animation & ditch that, too. I'd definitely be interested in getting a generic version, when you're ready for it to be tested. :rolleyes: On a seperate note, I used UOT Kitchen to change my battery icon to a circle last night. The zip wouldn't flash, I had to copy files in manually. When I get a chance, I'll have a look and see how to automate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simpler boot animation to speed up the process would be nice. I use LauncherPro like I was recommended to on the OSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not, if you uninstall it! I've installed LauncherPro, just because I'm used to it. I'm not keen on the LG launcher, but you're never going to please everyone if you choose something different. I'd write a list of what I removed, but... they're gone & I can't remember! Any more that I get rid of, I'll make a list. Nothing obvious in /system/media, looks like boot animation is in /system/bin. Hmm, tried renaming or movin it to the SD cardbut it's still running.

You guys know yours stuff! :) That hidden menu interesting although don't think much to play with in there for me that is fun lol. Yeah LauncherPro seems to be the consensus - especially on the Blade forum anyway. Can you or Hec confirm a few stock apps and I can safely delete through Titanium Backup then??? I will backup of course. The battery seems worse than my blade so maybe that will help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Celtic67 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks for that! WIll copy you on some of them then. Do you just phone and text then or just found better alternatives to most of them?! :) Oh no, if it was just phone & text, I'd still have a Nokia 5110! I forgot to put that I use K9 instead of the other e-mail apps. I've still got Clock on there if I want to set an alarm. If I want Facebook/Twitter, I'll probably use Tweetdeck. Similarly, if I want a weather widget, I'll use Fancy Widgets. I can set that to only update every few hours or so. I couldn't find that in the installed Weather one. I know a lot of people make a fuss about the FM Radio, but I can't think of a time that I'll ever want it. If the Office app can edit docs offline, I might keep it, otherwise it goes in the pile as well. I see there's a DivX logo on the box. If that's linked to the video player app, then I might reconsider it. Most of the rest are just tripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Divx, yes there is a number on the phone somewhere you register it on the divx website but i couldn't find the link so gave up! Thanks for the apps advice. I mind on the blade deleting the stock sms app caused havoc with GO SMS! Do you recommend leaving it on this one too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 only apps really needed are: camera contacts email gallery market messaging file manager phone settings sim toolkit super user Cool! Thanks! What about the stock browser? I use Skyfire but just wondered if like SMS I better not delete it!? On another note, just noticed when I switch the phone off and on that my widgets aren't saving! And my launcherpro is changing to the LG one! Any idea guys????

Guest Celtic67 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 how much wasted partition space is there in system? I've currently got 165MB used out of 190MB. Wow, that is a lot of junk still. 64MB cache seems a bit wasteful as well. Thanks for that! WIll copy you on some of them then. Do you just phone and text then or just found better alternatives to most of them?! :) I already replied to this, no idea where that's vanished to. Yes, I use alternatives is the short answer. K9 for e-mail being the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
