Gingerbread vs ICS on p500 - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one of those versions
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app

> ICS is fast in terms of performance, it also have this 3D hardware acceleration, drains battery a bit faster than gb and froyo.. but ICS uses more RAM ans eats more space on system partition unlike GingerBread where in you'll get about 300mb free RAM and 120+ mb free internal memory (google apps included) already. Disadvantages of ICS as for now.. is HQ video play back.

ICS feels much smoother and beautiful than GB, but it's unusable for me because of high RAM usage and HQ video bug

GB is stable and best for our beloved optimus p500 ! Whereas ICS is unstable because of HQ video recording & playback!

ICS feels smoother, and visually is awesome. But has the issue of the openmax libs.
GB depends on the rom that you use. Its estable and many roms are for daily use.
The question is if you are a uses it only for calling, messaging and sometimes needs a faster loading speed. [ICS].
Or for multimedia. [GB]

Are you talking here about stock GB vs. custom ICS or compairing both custom roms?
I wonder which are adv. and disadv. between stock GB and custom ICS?
Is it better or 'natural' for our device to run on (rooted) stock GB?

Stock GB is a pile of crap.

Both custom

may i throw in a third option beside ics and gb?
when i got my device i immediatly updated to gingerbread...
was nice, everything worked and it had nice battery...
seeing so many devices on market with ics i also wanted it and i got hephappys cm9...
sometimes crashes but less than on cm7 after gingerbread...
everything worked fine but as already mentioned less sys space...
now when jelly bean is released i searched for a cm 10 for the o1 because it was supposed to run smoother and that stuff..
currently im running cm10 on my phone, the battery life is not best, its ok, and the camera works even with some glitches.
when you can live with those i would really suggest you to try jb cause its MUCH smoother than gb and ics, you have cool new features like the notification system and google now, still not with voice but it is on its way
just my 10 cents

ICS > GB
If you are looking for battery life, stock ROM (GB) is best. But once you flash ICS, then it's hard to go back, really!!
ICS feels much different and intuitive than GB. Though battery drain is a problem with custom ROMs.
I am currently using Hephappy rc-2 prerelease CM9 ROM.
Almost all features works with only new glitches. Waiting for Final release with curiosity!
After using ICS, I feel GB an outdated looking ROM.
So, don't use ICS rom, otherwise you ll never be able to use GB!!

One more thing, Browsing is more than 2x faster on ICS ROMs than GB!!!!

Not true.
Stock ICS keyboard just works.
Now get rid of any ordinary keyboards and get Swype. I use bi-lingual Swype here and it works REALLY smoothly and beautiful.

Use minimal ics keyboard from themes and app section only 1.3 mb.

My favourite: GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel
1. Stock GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel.
2. GB 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod or Oxygen)
3. ICS
Currently I'm running a very light stock rom (bloatware heavily removed) + ta kernel v.1.1 + custom apps that I use frequently (daily) + themed. Everything works fine (including call recording by Sanity), it's quite fast (I use SetCPU: 122-600 in general and 245-748 for the launcher and certain slower apps) and it has an excellent battery life. Those other apps that I use rarely (weekly or more) are installed in a second rom (based on cyanogenmod) that i boot from my sdext partition with multirom manager whenever necessary.

The standard suggestion and one I subscribe to is you have to try them out to see what is best for You and Your phone.
I use Legend 4 and am completely happy with it but that is just me. It meets the things I think are important. Which does not mean others are worse or better. But then, I don't worry about if there is one out there that does something wonderful if I don't need or use it.
here's breakdown
KK4 based - my ROM is one of the best.
Overall GB ROMs - Apex ROM (ported from i9000 I think) with KK4 kernel and modem.
KK4 stock has many annoying bugs - browser scroll, gallery etc

Thanks. this is what i was talking about. I wasnt sure if i flash other roms left behind without kk4 did that meant they were slower or whatever..or did by them being kk4 did it meant it should be less laggier or whatsoever... im just a flasher..not that sure of what diference does kk whatsoever do to roms..
Go with CM7 if you really want to go for!!!

[Q] jt1134's ICS rom multitasking to another rom?

I was wondering if the multitasking from jt's ICS rom can be moved to tweaked 2.1 or as a zip that can be flashed in cwm. I'm sorry if this is impossible, as i am not as educated as most people on this forum. I was just curious because i like to have that ICS multitasking. Thank you
That multitasking is a new feature of ics. It requires android 4.0+ just to work.
Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
Agreed, I've always wished even if an ics rom was impossible a gingerbread rom with a full ics theme including multitasking and face unlock cuz that'd be awesome.
Oh well, i guess i have to wait for a finished ICS rom...

What ROM do you recommend me to use? STOCK, CM7, CM9, CM10...

Hello.
I'm flashing my wife's ChaCha with different ROMs and I was wondering if there is something better than Stock based ROMs.
I value most battery life, second memory space (have the SD card partitioned and using Link2SD right now). Don't need HTC Sense or any other bloatware.
I just need the camera to take pictures, so I can sacrifice the front camera too...
So, what ROM do you guys recommend me to try to have the BEST battery life?
- Stock based (like Hegoxen
- CM7
- SuperOSR 2.5
- CM9
- CM10

I was having problems with the DIALER draining the battery, so yesterday I flashed SuperOSR (CM7.2 based) and so far drainage issues seem to have stoped.
Will post again in a couple of days with the results.
go for ajeevlal port mate, you will never regret it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365533 Release 3 is the one you must install

i think best is stock rom, one programmer can do with theme & new statusbar stock rom its perfect happened
ajeevlal's CM10 is actually great! and it's getting even better!
if ur wife is a Stick-to-Stock person noo never change it u'll never find a better rom
if u want speed, extra storage with INT2EXT+ just DO it and change to CM10 ajeevlal's is a great ROM! and i'm personaly working with him to make it even better
as you know, no front camera, sometimes bluetooth issues, other than that, u've got a wonderful CM10!
Forget
Forget all what you heared and try ajeevel CM10.1 Rom it has everything you can imagine

Going back to GB

Hey guys I'm going back to GB. I'm tired of lags, freezes and the headache that JB provide to us. Can anyone tell me any kernel and any launcher that appears like JB? Thanks!

- How can a kernel look like JB? Kernels consists of thousands and thousands of lines of codes.... I don't think it has any UI
- Take a look at this thread for Samsung's JB TouchWiz launcher for GB...
- You can get CoCore 4.1 for GB I think...
- And lastly, why is your JB experience so bad? In my opinion, JB is way faster and better than GB.. the only thing is that it consumes a bit more RAM and Battery than GB....

I expressed myself wrong, I want a kernel for the android and a launcher that seems like pure android (like apex). And the JB keeps freezing, not good for games, video keep freezing and other things like that. I've already tried kernels, mods, CM 10.1 (that I didn't liked) and the majority stuff that people says. None of these is like the performance of GB that has no freezes, lags and the battery it's much better.
Oh yeah and I'm using CoCore 7.6, LQG deodexed, pure performance x, greenify (almost all apps), some tweaks of pimp my rom, settings and status bar like pure android and apex launcher.. Theres no reason to lag and freeze and it keep lagging and freezing! I installed this rom recently (about 2 weeks ago)..
So let me get this straight...
You want to use GB but you also want to make it look like stock JB?
Well unfortunately there isn't much option for GB users... the only kernel you can only use is the CoCore 4.1 kernel NOT "CoCore E" only "CoCore" kernel....
And for stock launcher you need to use Apex only, because Nova is 4.0+ and other alternatives aren't that good....
Stock JB look on GB? Try JetMOD then. You can easily find it in Android Dev section.

I think the reason for all is cocore 7.6: many people have freezes with that version!
Try 6.8, no lag and no freeze at all! Also 8.0 seems working good, but if you want to be sure, try 6.8. I used 6.8 for months, did not have a single freeze or reboot! And I don't have pure performance, greenify, no tweaks, stock launcher.

But, you ll eventually have to go back to stock jb because many of the apps on the playstore are not compatible with Gingerbread.

Fastest ROM?

Hello all
Stuck with my old P500 for a couple of weeks so I've decided to try a couple different roms, I'm running the : [DEV][ROM][4.4.2][CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500 [WIP][VER-10 OTA]
At the moment, but it's too slow, everything lags on the phone, so basically looking for the fastest stable rom where tethering works, I don't care if it's gingerbread, ICS jelly bean etc, just want the fastest, any one got any recommendations?
Thanks
50 views and no replies?
I am using the same KITKAT rom VER-10 , Running smooth..
Lag may be because of low internal memeory.. Use Link2sd n move apps to sd-ext , that would free up some space on the internal memory.
If u want to go back to older roms..
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574523
stock ROM looks and feel..
OR Try hephappy's rom for ICS
http://www.mediafire.com/download/m3nqsrfyyjmry9e/cm-9.2.3-ICS-PLUS-p500.zip (Not sure if Tethering works.. Find out)
Every version of that ROM I've tried lags, my internal memory is 60mb i can't move anything else over via link2sd most of it's system apps, everything lags for me, even typing a text message takes forever..
Thanks I'll check those out.

Tethering works on ICS and JB too but phone reboots after turning it off.
It's completely functional without that little flaw.
