Installing Custom ROMs on LG Optimus One P500

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 02:46 AM PST

After having rooted the phone, installed Android SDK and Custom Recovery on your phone, installing a Custom ROM is as easy as copying the ROM file to the root of the SD card and flashing the zip from it.

If you’re worried it’ll void your warranty, don’t be! You can go back to the original LG firmware whenever you wish : How to flash Original Firmware on the LG Optimus One P500.

Here is a list of some great ROMs developed by people at xda forums.

void ROM (customization at its best!)
AmberHome v1.1
Prime v2 (My favorite, I’m currently on Prime v2)
DarkMoon v01
Megatron v1 (pure power)
Droideka v2
Ioshirom v2

Since all the ROMs have their own kinds of partitions to be created, you can check them at the ROM specific pages.

To flash a custom ROM(make a backup if you want to keep apps, else you can always download them from the market) :

Boot into Custom Recovery
Wipe your cache, dalvik cache, SD card
Make partitions according to the ROM requirement
Wipe first 3 options of wipe menu again
Toggle USB MS and paste the ROM zip file to the root of the SD card
Disable USB MS
Select ‘Flash from zip’ option in Custom Recovery menu
Select the ROM file
It’ll take sometime and reboot into your new Custom ROM!

Google Docs introduces video player feature

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 02:38 AM PST

Google has introduced a new feature in Google docs and has added a video player feature to docs.For this week, users can upload videos (up to 1GB) in a particular supported format, and make them available for viewing in Google Docs. As with the previous video sharing set up, you can still download video, including previous versions. Google engineers have warned of excessive processing time, but once videos are up, viewing is as easy as clicking play just that you would need a Flash player.I don’t really understand how is it going to benefit Google as they already have the flagship Youtube under its belt.
