Or is this supposed to be normal? Touchscreen standard test app, and that's result. It's slow, it does not track my finger. Why? It didn't look like this in Froyo (in my memory, should test).

Yea thats right bro
Update:
flashed XXKPQ,
flashed CF-ROOT (all tweaks enabled, no ext4)
flashed UTTERCHAOS kernel: lagfree, bfq
things got a bit better (I'm posting new video, same test app, on youtube).
Now trying latest DD firmware.

Bit confusing here, as I understand that ROMs and kernels for the Optimus V (VM670) are incompatible with the P500. I don't see much for the VM670 in the Android Development section.
I recently flashed BobzHome. The camera apps occasionally freeze, which I blame on the camera drivers in the kernel, and when overclocking the only governor that doesn't freeze the phone is Performance - again, points towards the kernel.
ICS for the VM670 seems to be a downgrade from Gingerbread because there is no HW acceleration. "Inferior Human Organs" is not a comforting name for a ROM.
Is there a list of ROMs and kernels for the VM670?
There's tons of roms out there. I can't post links, because I'm new to xda, but you should be able to google these and figure out where the ov roms are.
I love theKraven's cold as ice (cai) ics rom. It's build for the S, but works great on the V with the virgin patch. Basically everything works except native tethering. It's as fast and smooth as I've ever seen my phone.
BobZhome's jb and ics are both good, but Bob hasn't had a lot of time to fix bugs, but it looks like he may be getting back into it.
Tdm's Quatrimus ics is also good, but same as BobZ, hasn't been updated in a while.
Thatguylurkin ported icysnap using cai as a base that is cool, but could use an update. I'm hopeful about that.
Then there's the gb roms, For the most part they are solid. Most overclock well and are fully functional. This list is not comlpete, but these are ones I've tried and like (in no particular order):
Mrg666's mirage build
Leslie Ann's harmonia build
Earthnfire78's om-mandylion
Tgl's gingersnap port
Sellers86's cyanmobile experience port
Beyond that, a few good ports from clodfelterac and ilikechicken, and there's tons of other quality froyo and gb roms. Sorry if i missed anyone, those are just the ones that come to mind.
Recoveries:
cwm is the gold standard, imho. There's a few options, BobZhome, green, Earthnfire78's zen garden
New Cot 2.1 is great.
Twrp from theKraven is fun and cool.
People like Xionia, but i never found the right .img.

Thanks. But none of the JB or ICS ROMs support hardware acceleration, right?
And from my own research, not all of the VM670 ROMs that you say are solid, are solid.
And which of those ROMs support overclocking?

for ics omx libaries has been released
so their should be hw accelaration in ics
roms
I guess solid is a relative term. I would call most of those solid in that all of the key functions work, and they don't tend to crash. Hardware acceleration is still an issue, and idk if it will ever be fully addressed on the ov, but at least Kraven has fixed hq video/youtube in cai. That was one of the main issues that people said would never be fixed without hardware acceleration.
There is an egl patch to force gpu rendering, but idk if it really makes a noticeable difference.
As far as oveclocking, in my experience, none of the ics/jb roms run well over 600. They also can't handle underclocking well, so you need to raise your min clock speed to 480
In general the gb roms overclock well into the 700-800 range, but it depends on the specific rom and your specific phone.
So if I want to overclock, I'm going with a gingerbread ROM.
BobZHome is crashing on me, especially when I try to use the camera, so I blame the kernel because camera drivers are in the kernel.
Can you recommend a good kernel that overclocks well?
If that doesn't work, can you recommend a STABLE GB ROM that overclocks well?

Mirage was used as the base for a lot of the ports, and has a good reputation for overclocking. Harmonia 2 is also well developed.
In general, I don't think there is much of a speed difference between the overclocked gb roms and the non-overclocked cai.
I would start by trying cai and mirage, and move on from there. I think those two will definitely suit your needs, and you'll have to decide which you like better.
ps. I just realized we are conversing on two threads. Sorry, sometimes I don't look at whom I'm talking to.
You know, I just realized we are conversing on two threads, too!
Let's keep it on this thread? The title is more appropriate.
I'm going to stick with GB.
Does USB mass storage work for Mirage?
It does.
WOW! Installed Mirage and boy am I happy! Runs like a champ, overclocked up to 787MHz and so far no problems!
One issue, instead of a Google account, Add Account asks "Add an Exchange account." How do I add my Google account?
Also seems that LGCamera doesn't like the VM670.

Stupid question, but did you install gapps, and did you get the normal setup process, starting with tapping the big green android?
Can you go to settings, accounts and sync and add your Google account?

When I go to Settings > accounts and sync, when I add an account it only asks for an Exchange account.
I had installed Mirage over my existing install, so I kept all my apps. I'll reinstall gapps and see what happens.
@upconvert, with Mirage can you tell me what are your CPU settings for Min/Max & governor?
What rom were you coming from? I'm pretty sure that there's a "first time setup" included in the gapps that will tak care of that. I think it also includes the google sync that will let you add it from that menu.

I was using BobzHome. But that's not my problem. This phone keeps crashing on me!
What are the recommended settings for Performance? Maybe I'm running out of memory?
The first thing I would recommend is a full wipe before flashing. You can back up your apps with tibu or mybackup root first. I know it's a pain, but it's hard to figure out what's causing crashes when you're working off a dirty flash.
As far as performance settings I would say to start your min clock speed at 480, and then experiment with the max clock speed. Start high and take it down a notch every time it crashes until it stops crashing, then go one notch lower to be safe. Once you have your max setting, then you can do the opposite with the min speed. Start it low and click it up after any crashes.
I also like 16 bit transparency, allow ksm and purging, and disable dithering.
Well, I did what you said and did a full wipe. From the recovery menu I wiped cache and data, cleared and formatted Davlik, formatted all the partitions.
Installed Mirage and everything ran fine! I installed gapps and that fixed the Google login. Installed DroidWall, then AntTek App Manager, everything O.K. Installed Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer, inSSider, MX Player, QuickPic, TuneIn Radio.
Played with all these for awhile and everything seems O.K. then installed Radar Now to really start pushing the limits. Everything O.K.
I then installed Google Maps and that's when it hit the fan. Crashed @600MHz while running Maps. Crashed on next boot and every boot after that. Crashed within about a minute of each boot. It then became a race to boot the phone and get to AntTak App Manager fast enough to freeze Maps. After a frustrating 20 minutes I finally got there fast enough and froze Maps. My OV froze in one last protest, I pulled the battery and started it up and everything's fine now.
Maps likes to run in the background so I guess it's doing something nasty. I'm CPU max at 729MHz and it's flawless. Gotta find a good offline GPS map program.

Like many of us here, I am interested in upgrading my custom ROM when something comes along that is better, more stable, etc.
Unfortunately, we do not have a matrix stating which ROMs have what functions (or which functions are missing).
I am currently running Brian Lee's ver Bravo2.2v1.6 everything works, but slow and somewhat buggy - but most games aren't acceptable (i.e. Angry Birds won't even run). That is probably a RAM issue.
I get the impression that some of the ICS / Gingerbread versions like CM 7 or CM 9 are much better, but it seems that something is always missing, like no sensors, no camera, or no video or no radio, etc.
I have searched and read in this forum for hours and hours and can't seem to find if there is a fully functional ROM out there.
But if we had some kind of matrix that showed what was available, we could make an educated choice. I for one, would give up radio for a functioning camera.
I was interested in Falcons work on CM 9 - but I couldn't even find where that is right now. If we can't get a matrix - maybe someone could just tell me what I want to know?
Thx for any assistance,
Skorp
Oh...look what I found...!!

Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.
I used to use this tablet a lot when it was new. It was fast and ran most apps with out any problems. It's been a few years since I used it so I figured I'd turn it on and see how it did with newer apps. Turns out it is quite a bit slower now and games lag more than I was expecting.
I was looking into rooting and putting a custom kernel on it to see if could speed it up a bit. I ran a few rooting apps first and every one said it was already rooted. I haven't changed anything from its default settings so I'm assuming it was done at the factory like that. I've spent some time looking for a custom kernel, but I haven't come up with anything yet. I'm not sure if I need one for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I really just want to increase the CPU clock and if possible the GPU clock speed as well. I tried running "Kernel Adiutor" and "Kernel Toolkit" to change the CPU speed. I was able to change it, but it won't allow me to go higher than the stock 1200mhz. It says it will go up 1440mhz in these apps, but when I set it there it locks up and I have to reboot the tablet.
This isn't that important as I have a new phone I use on a regular basis, but it would be nice to use the tablet again with out the lagginess it has now or less of it anyways.
This info is from the CPU-Z app. If you need more just ask.
