Hi All,
I want to flash this phone for my son, so he can play music, videos, youtube and games. I there a light weight ROM that would leave lots of internal memory.
Thanks in advance.

There aren't many "light weight" ROMs available for this device. SlimBean is probably the smallest, though I've never used it so I cannot say for sure. OOne ROM Editor is a Windows tool designed for trimming ICS and JB ROMs prior to installation. With OOne ROM Editor your options increase as far as the number of ROMs you have to choose from. Link for OOne ROM Editor is in my signature.
Try oxygen rom

it all depends what flavor of android you want really.
for JB... slim bean is going to be your best bet.
for ICS... i think oxygen or cerebrum , rashed97 if you trim it down.
for GB... im diggin honeywizz(has TGB engine for gaming and saving battery), but oxygen is the smallest, OMFGB is nice.
If you want lots of internal memory, I'd recommend flashing an int2ext script on whatever rom you choose.

We all know that our atrix2 has 8 GB internal memory which by default is not user available. :banghead:
But this chinese(HKTW) leaked ics for ME865, when flashed onto our MB865, keeps 4GB as internal and avails 4GB for user usage !! ( Am assuming that many still might not be knowing about it)
Link to ME865 ICS-HKTW ----> www.4shared.com/archive/ApgMqNPs/ME865-ICS-HKTW.html
During installation u can change language to English and rom runs fine. (P.S.- Some users reported to have faced FCs but i never had any)
Next, if you are already bored of the ICS, then you may go a step ahead and flash the "Official" :thumbup: MIUI v4 ROM from the official miui website, which is for ME865. You get all the MIUI awesomeness, the rom is rock stable, amazing battery backup, no flaws at all !!
Link to Official MIUI v4 for ME865 ----> http://www.miui.com/extra.php?mod=download/rom&fid=199
So in the end, you get Official MIUI running and a bonus 4GB storage !!
I am running this rom as my default system since a month and have no issues at all.
Go give it a shot !!
Am just resharing what i have gathered from the forum.

Screenshots of MiUI with internal storage :
I have flashed jb leak and then miui on that with ICS kernel.
I get above 6gb of free storage

Which version of MIUI did u flash ? Could u share the Url here ?
Also is that MIUI stable ? Any battery drain issues or severe heating up of device u notice ?
Lastly, is that jb leak downgradable to ICS ?
TIA

I doubt it will work for att without any modifications (which is a little risky).. But I would recommend you to wait till all issues with the kexec kernel and our phone are solved. Then we can easily do that with a custom kernel..

hi guys,
first off all i want so say that i am a newbie... but i know that there isnt a perfect rom or a best rom, to save me some time i need your advice based on your experience.
a few days ago i rooted my p500, and i tried 3/4 different roms with 4.1.x android but with normal use, battery dont last long, only 10/11h... with official lg rom (android 2.3.3) it last 24h...
so, with your experience , what rom should i try? i dont care about design, only battery life... should i go back to official 2.3.3 android? note that i dont care if i dont have last android version...
another issue is the internal memory, before i rooted p500 i had to delete apps to install another ones. now the phone is rooted, with link2sd app i will have "more" internal memory so any rom is good in this aspect, is this correct?
thank you guys in advance, for sharing your experience
You know that there isnt best rom or perfect rom but still you keep asking....Search forums for good roms just like many others did.
Anyway if you want good battery life then stick with GB based roms.
gingersnap (android 2.3) ia very good and stable and has an option to install everything in the sd card

From all the rom's i have played with the 2 rom's with good battery life are icysnap 1.6 and gingerbreak. Icysnap 2 seems to have lot a lot of battery life. Also for icysnap 1.6 you have to partition the sd card and execute a script to use more of the sd card as internal space.
Unfortunantly i have not yet seen a JB rom that doesn't absolutely burn through battery. I am guessing that the JB os runs a lot more stuff in the background or the processes take a lot more computing power. This is just speculation by me though i know very little about androids other than how to root and flash rom's and even at that i used super one click to root this thing.
Hi all,
I'm trying to give my phone a refresh after those 2 or 3 years it has served me. It started to behave a little laggy lately and also the battery begun to dye away rather quickly, so I bought a new battery today and decided to do a clean re-install of everything.
The Gingerbread MIUI (1.12.23) was by far the best rom for this phone and it was running very smoothly. Definitely better then any later MIUI I ever tried. So I found this MIUI 2.4.20 zip file, which I thought is what I'd like to flash and use now.
If someone of you kindly could direct me towards an fitting flashable zip with the additional Google apps, that would be awesome. I definitely make some good use of those Google apps.
Thanks.

Oh yeah, and do you think, that a lowering responsiveness of the phone could be a result of the battery not supplying enough power anymore? Like a constant undervolt?

Hey man thanks for the idea! I have installed MIUI 2.4.20 today and I will definitely keep it. It has all that I need, runs smooth with about 400 MB free RAM and the photo quality is great.
To answer your GApps question: go here, download and flash gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip or gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip, whichever you prefer - both are fine.
Also if you like sweep2wake this kernel will provide it. I am not advertise my work but I flashed it and it is fine.
Another advice: the MIUI installation script will format your system partition as ext3 so if you have 4EXT recovery, reboot to it and convert (NOT format) your system partition to ext4
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.

Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.
A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).
Thanks
