Install CyanogenMod 9 / Android 4.0.4 ICS on LG Optimus One P500

While LG will most likely not be upgrading the low-end LG Optimus One P500 to Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.4, we already have a port of CyanogenMod 9 for the P500. The development is currently in Beta stage with most of the things working. :)

What doesn’t work:

  • Wi-Fi tethering
  • USB tethering
  • Offline charging
  • FM Radio: not implemented in CM yet
  • Camcorder

HOW TO INSTALL

  1. Download the ROM from here and GAPPS from here.
  2. Boot into recovery.
  3. Wipe data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot, Wipe Dalvik Cache.
  4. Flash ROM.
  5. Reboot
  6. Go to recovery again, flash GAPPS and reboot.

There you have ICS 4.0.4 / CM 9 on your LG P500. :D

P.S. – You need to be using new baseband.

            

[How To] Upgrade to New Baseband on LG Optimus One P500

The newly released official CM7 builds for LG Optimus One use the new baseband which LG upgraded to when releasing the 2.3 GingerBread update for the Optimus One P500.

How to know which baseband you are on?

  • If you are on Froyo and have never upgraded to LG stock GingerBread you are on old baseband.
  • If you are on stock GingerBread from LG or have used it in the past  then you are on the new baseband.

So if you are on the old baseband and want to flash CyanogenMod 7, then follow this excellent guide on XDA Developers to upgrade to the new baseband.

Note – Please follow the steps as described. Otherwise there is a chance of your phone getting bricked.

After many months of unofficial CM7 ports, LG Optimus One has finally received official CyanogenMod support. The nightly builds of CM 7.2 for LG P500 are now available on CM mirrors.

At present the nightly builds are a bit buggy but they are improving with every build, almost 1 new build per day. :) Once the bugs are ironed out, a stable release will be made.

Download the nightly builds of CM7 for LG Optimus One P500 here.
