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.
