Installing CyanogenMod 7 (mil version) ROM on Koodo LG optimus One Android phone (P500h)

Root the phone before doing this.

Download cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mil-6.5.4.zip into your microSD card. CyanogenMod 7 ROM is based on Gingerbread. Install ROM Manager on your phone. Open ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD card. Now browse to the downloaded cyanogen zip and tap it.

In the menu, check backup existing ROM (if you want to back up the current OS, highly recommended). Check the options to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. Now Tap OK. The phone will restart and backup the files and then proceed to CM7 installation.

The phone will automatically restart after the installation (takes about 5-10 min). You will see a brand new OS on your phone. Go to settings and add your google account to synchronize contacts, mails etc.

If you want any other google applications which are not already installed with CyanogenMod 7, follow these instructions.

The same procedure can be used for installing any other android ROMs.
