Gingerbread ROM for P500 - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My dad has a P500 and since his eyesight is not so good, he can barely read the phone numbers and text. I think his device has Android 2.2, and there doesn't seem to be an official upgrade to Gingerbread in my country.
From what I understand, there is no option in Android itself to increase system font size. I found an app for this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.bfont&hl=en) but it needs Gingerbread at the minimum.
Can anyone here recommend a Gingerbread ROM that also supports a Russian interface?
Thanks.

Root that phone and flash CyanogenMod, then there are so many new features, you can also change font, overclock it and make it faster

Should I use the official Gingerbread CM for P500, or do I need to install a custom one from these forums? (Note, I found an official "stable" one here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=p500). I assume it has a Russian translation, right?
I'd love if it if you could give me a link to a something proper!

I recommend you install the newest cm7, it never gave me a problem
The only thing that Lg gb have that is better than cm7 is the camera but you can flash some mods here to make the default exposure higher
And I think it have Russian language
Before you flash anything make a nandroid backup

So you recommend the stable CM7 from the CM website?
Btw, what about neko's Ginger Snap ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529777)? It seems like it has pretty nice UI, do you happen to know anything about it? Or should I just flash vanilla CM7?

Stable cm7 has more bugs than the up to date nightlys (yes, from cm site)
Also, feel free to flash Ginger snap(it's based on a nightly build) if you like its prebuilt themes/tweaks/kernel

Thanks for the help guys, I've just flashed the new baseband & GingerSnap 2.2!
For some reason I can't find the Spare Parts app in the app drawer so that I could change the font size...

Use this app..

Heh, this is so ironic! The apps (both Big Fonts and Spare Parts) both seemed to increase fonts everywhere except one place that bothered him the most - the contacts!
When you click on a contact, it shows a list of their phone numbers. Like "Home" and under it the actual number. These phone numbers are very small, and it looks like the font size change doesn't affect this particular field.
Maybe there's an alternative contacts application that has a different interface that I could use?

I am using exDialer and it does have the option to increase the font size for the contacts list. To change the font size, just press menu > preferences > appearance.

[Keyboard] Droid 2 Multi-Touch [Nexus Stock Themed]

Here's the Droid 2 multi-touch keyboard ported by invisiblek that I themed with the Froyo Stock keyboard. It should work on any Froyo based deodexed ROM. This will replace your stock keyboard so make a nandroid backup first. I'm also including the FRF91 stock keyboard. Both files are installed from recovery.
Thanks to invisiblek and enragedpaza for all their help and guidance.
Works great! Thanks for including the stock keyboard.
Great Job it works wonderfully. I do like the white one though. I use it on all my 2.1 devices!
I anyone can port it plain white that would be AWESOME.

Thanks. Much better than the white version. I appreciate it.
having a slow moment here so bear with me .. flashing this replaces stock keyboard .. i got that .. now op stated that he included the stock one also ..
so couple questions
1. if i flash this then flash the stock will i have both or will it just over ride each other
2. is there a htc ime port for froyo devices
thanks for the responses
never mind i used the search button and found my answers ..gonna flash this now
1. If you flash both, whichever you flashed last will take precedence. At the moment it's one or the other sadly.
2. Not sure, sorry
is there a way to install from sd using terminal?
Sorry if this has already been explained elsewhere but, what sorta additional functionality would this offer over the stock keyboard? What are some of the multitouch functions that are possible that become second nature through use of this it you know what I mean?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
any way to just install this without removing the original keyboard? guess this version cant just install like a normal apk or like the htc keyboard.

I was wondering the same thing, then realized that it would be better figured out if I just flashed the damn thing myself. I think the stock keyboard is kinda slow, but this keyboard allows me to type more quickly without having to utilize spell check as often. The only thing that sucks about this KB is that there is no customization such as turning off key previews or changing the vibration duration.
Other than that, I wish we had a fully working HTC IME with multi touch (maybe we do, I forgot).
apparently u can hold down shift to cap one letter like on a real keyboard, not sure gonna try it now
works great on leofroyo.
is there a way to disable the fullscreen UI in landscape like HTC_IME ?
Root Explorer
is there a way to install this via root explorer?
I am using the hd2 - with darkstone sense build so i do not have the option to flash via recovery.

Meh just looks like IOS what else is there?
Eh its somethin different I'm gettin bored with stock I've got about every laucher made to switch it up and miui has some pretty kool features I really like status bar and widget feature. I wish someone would come out with cm7 for this bad boy. I wish I had a lil more time and knowledge. Isant miui mostly framework changes and launcher changes or is it more than that? What if we took the framework and launcher from this and put it into one of dexters newer builds?
Got the phone working but the browsers crash too much it looks like it would be alright if the bugs got fixed I will try working on again later.

Has some pretty cool default apps, cool lockscreen, custom transitions through anything, lots of custom themes you can just put on, other tweaks and is supposed to be really fast from what I can understand. It's also a different experience. The launcher and IOS icons is the least attractive thing to me.

[ROM][May22]UFE Nutz v1.13 | 2.3.3 w/ Sense 2.1(2.37.762.2)

Hello All!(Well mainly just Softbank users)
Some of us haven't been able to use custom ROMs made for any other DHD's(due to extreme battery drain on a lot of devices) and if you do the official GingerBread update you have to go through the hassle of re-rooting and all that.
SO, I decided to make a near stock version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 with sense 2.1 based off of the official Softbank RUU flashable through CWM.
Download V1.13
Download V1(OLD)
*I will NOT be updating this regularly, this is just a base to get everyone on a newer ROM easily!
*If you don't know what any of this is or have any questions about it go HERE!
*Nothing should go wrong BUT, you are flashing this at your own risk and i take no responsibilities in what may/may-not happen to you, your wallet, or your device!

- HTC IME(BROKEN)
- MDJ V Series v19 Kernel for some increased performance/battery life(to tweak download setcpu in the market)
- Disabled boot sound
Thanks....Is it EXT4?

Sorry about the keyboard issue, i am uploading new version that is exactly the same, but with noextra keyboard added it causes alot of FC's until you uninstall the .apk....New ROM has one FC at initial setup screen but that seems to be it!
Hope you all like

The browser as far as I know can't change your locale its self.. yahoo is just seeing that your ip address is in Japan so it brings up the Japanese site... Try to find the settings on yahoos page or use a proxy site
And as far as mms I have tried a few different methods to get mms working and still have not been able to get multimedia messages to send or recieve... Trust me I will keep looking into it though!

Notification shade

Is there a way to get the power controls added to the notification shade if using the stock GB OTA? I've looked and can't seem to find an App or mod specifically for that.
I've found threads about changing the colors and mostly it's people modding the pngs for it via the system?.apk file but I'm not sure how one would add tat, or if we could, say, take the system.apk from a rom that has it already such as Weapon g2x and just drop that on a Stock rooted OTA?
Any idea's or methods I'm just not aware of?
there's an app called "StatusBar+" in the market that has the ability to add power control widget buttons or w/e in the notification bar on non rooted phones....if thats what you're meaning?
StatusBar+ isn't working for the G2X... Any other ideas??

if that app doesnt work, then the only other way is flashing a custom rom! I think u should just root the phone if u havent already, its nearly impossible to brick the thing unless ur completely unfamiliar with it, but even then, its damn hard!

Yeah my phone is rooted. I'm currently using EB 2.3.3 1.07 which I believe is one of the most stable roms... I just wish there was a way to add that feature (power control bar to the notification bar) to this rom without having to flash a different rom or theme...

EB already has that....settings --> Cyanogenmod settings -->Interface --> Notification Power Widget
from my themeing experience of weapon and vibrant roms I think its a combination of frameres and systemui. I could be wrong but if it was me id ask a dev who has it in their ROM already it could greatly ease the method to achieve the desired effect.

Well I will take your advice... I see you are the maker of the Precision theme for Weapons... It looks pretty sweet..
Will you be making this theme for Eagle Blood 2.3.3 (v1.07+)? Or better yet does this theme work with EB already?
FYI... It was your theme that I was going to try and use the systemui.apk file...
I have no idea if it will work on eb or not. Im currently working on a few things, but might be able to port it soon.

I believe he's talking about EaglesBlood 2.3.3, not 2.3.5.
The notification power widgets on gingerbread roms are in the SystemUI.apk. The problem is, unless you are really snuggly with linux, java, and the sdk, your chances of coding your own are weak.
However, if you have a rom available to you from the same android and phone versions, you have a good shot at getting it to work, as with weapons systemui on eb 2.3.3.

[Theme]Touch of ICS for Stock 2.3.4

This is ONLY for the official stock 2.3.4 LG ROM that introduced the new March 2012 baseband!!
I repeat, DO NOT FLASH ON ANYTHING ELSE.
Ok so since my real first porting of a theme (which was a little of a disaster in my opinion...) I've gotten a lot better/smarter.
This port is probably going to be the final. There's honestly nothing wrong with it so far that I can tell.
I might change the drop down menu background to something else maybe. For some reason, even if you use a transparent image... it still isn't transparent for me.
I just kind of grabbed some random image for the background and used it... it was supposed to repeat itself and just kind of scaled... and doesn't look too bad in my opinion.
How to install:
Download the attachment to SD card
Boot into CWM
(Optional) Create a backup in case of boot loop
Flash the zip
Reboot device
There is no need to wipe cache or dalvik or any of that nonsense. I NEVER do, but you can if you're paranoid enough.
Known Issues:
None.
Notes:
I disabled the overscroll glow. I just personally do not like it and it tends to make the device lag when it appears.
I didn't do any .xml changes so no colors should be ugly on certain other windows/frames.
The font in my screenshots will NOT be applied to your phone; that is the font I use and it is not included in the theme.
SOLUTION IF YOUR PHONE BOOT LOOPS
If your phone bootloops it means you dirty flashed 2.3.4 onto your device which means you were on 2.3.3, then you upgraded to 2.3.4 via LG Update tool, and then tried to flash this theme.
So what you have to do (and SHOULD do anyway) is download the rooted 2.3.4 stock ROM (thanks to kwes) and do a fresh install of it (wipe data/factory reset and format /system) then this theme will work 100%.

Big thanks to kwes and Core Memory... you all should already know why by now.
Enjoy!
Looks awesome, I'll be applying this to my wife's phone later today. You state 2.3.4 but will this cause problems with 2.3.7 base roms?

Pretty good i must say. Is it possible to include ICS like notification toggles in the theme as well?
Thanks

I don't consider myself a themer, and especially not a developer. You have to ask a real developer to edit stuff to get those things.

Which ROM are you running? This is ONLY for the stock official LG 2.3.4 firmware.
It will not work on any ROM other than the official.
I have also updated the OP to verify and hopefully make it more clear.
This is great

hey buru, you think you can make a flashable zip of a circular battery icon with % and ICS blue colors instead of the current one?

I don't know what could have gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with my .zip. No one else is having problems nor getting any bootloops.
It's possible you got a bad download of the file. Try re-downloading it again and flashing.
Wonder who rated this thread 2 stars :/??
OP has been updated with 2 different batteries: the circular battery by request, and the CM7 battery with the number and little bar on the right side of it.
Hey man i've loved it, can you add the CRT on and off animation, please? I want it cus the stock one when you press the button to turn screen on shows the previous screen that I was before and then go to lock screen(very fast), know what i'm saying? That's annoying, thanks for the theme!!

Thank you and yeah I know what you mean.
I've stated before that I'm not a developer, nor am I a themer; I just simply port over stuff.
I would love to have the screen off animation, and quick toggles as seen in weapon and bionix, but I don't even know the beginning stuff. I'd have to do a lot, lot of reading and experimenting... which I may do one day but work keeps me pretty busy.
By the time I learn anything worthwhile I'm sure a developer would have already made a custom ROM out of this and did all that stuff .
Believe me, I want all that neat stuff too.
Yeeeeah, I've stopped using ics roms because of little things like that, I love when the rom works smooth and fast, it would be awesome if any developer did the crt on and off animation work here, I'm missing the toggles too

I'm running rooted stock and get bootlooped as well. Any way you could throw up an md5 on the op?
