Root [02/Nov/2011] Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread (Swiftdroid) CM 7.1 For LG GT540 [New Method]

This is my first update from official android 2.1 and i'm hooked on my LG GT540 again! But...

1) Need for speed SHIFT and Raging Thunder 2 don't work on my gt540 anymore :(
with need for speed it only gets to the EA logo then returns me to the previous screen I was on. With raging thunder it says 'authorizing license' then goes to the 'downloading game data to your SD card. one time only download' message. The download bar comes on but when it completes, it returns me to my previous screen again and if I launch the app again the whole process repeats! Plz help!

2) Is there any way of getting official android 2.2 and 2.3 apps after mod has been successfully installed?

P.S. I'm a newbie and this is my first ever message so tell me if i've done sumthin wrong :)
Any answers much appreciated.

PLEASE HELP ME! I've tried everything!

It won't reach 100%

Wrong :)

The calibration i did earlier at 99% was good enought.

Today after charging my phone though USB i did see 100% 4200mV for first time.

I did another calibration at 100% 4200mV i quess it should be perfect now.

Im using vizBattery gadget is there a more accurate gadget?

Edit: And my sd card work better now on 2.3.5 so i can only say root your phone and install 2.3.5 :)

Ok i need to ask this right now i got about 70-75mb free ram is there a way to increase it more i got memory compresion at 26% already.

Android235GT540 comes up as a text file and not .exe for me. Anyone else have this issue? I tried opening and it does not work and just hangs.

I saw another file that cagsa put up that it probably the the espanol version of the software. I was about to use it but hesitated in case it could cause issues in the future, since i need the English language version.

Anyone else have a working copy that they can upload? Thanks a lot!!

Question in 2.1 when i turned my phone off and plugged it into charged it did charge in other way.

In 2.3.5 when i turn it off and plug in it turns on and charges.

I want to know if there are any disadventages if i do that...

The only disadvantage is because the phone is running while its charging it will charge slower, than if its off while its charging but if you charge overnight it shouldnt be a problem.

Anyone have a fix for the "Error while searching for networks" issue when doing a manual network search?

It's a bit of a problem for me because here in the UK, with the merger of T-Mobile and Orange, T-mobile are closing down their transmitters at some shared sites. I have a problem because the Orange transmitter doesn't seem to have quite the coverage that the T-mobile one did and living on top of a cliff on the SE Coast my phone keeps registering with the French SFR network when I'm at home and I can't change it.

I've had to go back to 2.1 again. :(

I'm also having this problem, is there any known fix for this issue?
