guys i am using stock rom with franco kernel right now so can i flash miks rom v6.5.4 stable on that or i have to go back to my stock rom with stock kernel??? & is it neccessary to partition sd card for flashing mik rom????
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vador9:
Green means synced, white not
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chejo:
No it isn't necessary. You need to partition it only if you want to use a2sd or similar application.

hey i think this would be the right place to discuss this, has anyone been able to get bootsounds working in mik's ROM? i have tried all the methods i could find whilst googling to enable boot sounds in CM7 and none of them have worked.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
It is my understanding that apps which should not be moved to the SD cars would have a flag of some sort so the Move to SD card option would be grayed out (for safety reasons). In Mik's ROM, all apps can be moved. Is this a feature or a bug?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaani:
Hi guys:)one thing i want to know..i dont know is this happening with this rom only(bug or normal behavior) or not bcoz flashed CM7 on 4th day after getting my O1 so dont know about stock rom..suppose i have two folders in the sd card root..they are bluetooth(created by me for bluetooth file manager to receive file via bluetooth),wallpapers(personally created by me to keep my wallpapers)..now suppose i take few wallpapers via bluetooth,it gets into the bt folder,if that time i open gallery the bt folder shows up with the received pics,gallery closed.now when i move those pics from the bt folder to wallpapers by file manager & then open gallery the bt folder shows up again with pics but low quality(i think they are only the thumbnails,original ones are moved),but the wallpapers folder doesnt updates(moved pics are not there)..All i want to say is the gallery do not updates dynamically,if rebooted=ok,via usb=ok..is this ok or only happening to me???

[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Any thoughts on this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
On what? It is a feature, and on the observation that normally some apps cannot be moved - go bug the lazy dev about it. There is no legit reason why something could not be moved for like 99% of apps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harshdoshi25:
its a feature.. ur understanding is wrong.. lol !! cuz there is no problem to moving anything to sd card, except widgets, otherwise widgets wont work.. u can get that on any rooted phone by using move2sd enabler , or many other apps like it.. but widgets or any apps havin widgets shouldnt be moved, othrwise widgets wont work..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harshdoshi25:
u can ;) nothing required.. just wipe all , ALL !! before and after flash.. and dalvik n cache too... and ull b ready to go.. but ull ave the miks kernel then.. not francos.. if u want francos, then flash it again... ;) n btw the ROM is awesome !!!! :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
I guess my question is, can dev flag apps so the OS can't move them to SD and if yes, does CM7 bypass that 'flag'?

If not, how did the stock ROM know when to gray out the moved to SD card button for the apps that did need to stay in internal memory?

Thanks in advance for the clarification. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Well, already been explained right above your post. Do not see any point in more technical explanation when you cannot understand even the simple one, honestly.

For 99% of apps,there is no valid reason why they could/should not be moved. Meaning the developer simply did not care to update it for 2.2+ yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Hi. This is incorrect. Green means you are coonected to Google.(auto sync in technical words) . If you haven't flashed gapps than the icons never goes green, but still u can browse internet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Thank you for being patient. Let me explain myself in terms that I hope would make more sense for you (and the many others who are also in this forum.)

To illustrate, I have this one application, DoggCatcher. Its developer specifies that it should not be installed on the SD card for reasons outlined here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot. I would certainly hope that the developer knows his app better than me.

Now LG's stock 2.2 ROM grays out the move to SD card option for this app, which makes sense since the application did not declare the android:InstallLocation manifest attribute. Mik's CM7 ROM, however, allows the exact same app to be moved to the SD card. My question, therefore, is, does this ROM bypass that code in the app that prohibits moving to SD?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Does not really go anywhere. There are tons of people who move pretty much everything to SD card via a2sd/data2sd and have zero problems. I am not into similar kind of academic debates. If you have troubles after moving something, either move it back or bug the developer to fix it. Certainly do not see why some podcast nonsense should occupy internal memory and should not work from SD card.

Other than that, your question has been answered about 3 times already, yeah, obviously it does bypass the restriction, there are lots of apps doing the same. If you do not like it, then do not move it. Or what is exactly the problem here? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Look, I'm not asking about where apps should best be installed. It doesn't matter to me where you think apps should reside.

My question is actually quite clear: Does Mik's CM7 port disregard an application's attribute to not be installed in external memory? Whether this is a good idea or not is beside the point.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
So, you are asking about something you have already confirmed to be the case? Ah, that makes a lot of sense. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
I keyword searched this thread and the development thread and saw nothing. If this has been addressed I apologize.

I flashed 6.5.4 last night and noticed that when I'm connected via USB or wall charger and I reboot or reboot recovery that it just shuts off and begins charging. When unplugged it works just fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Mik's CM7 bypassing app's Manifest on SD card installation

Re: Mik's CM7 bypassing an app's restriction on SD card installation - is it a bug or a feature? I'd appreciate a more technical answer from anyone, and not just a 'well, I think 99% of apps should work fine in external storage anyway, actual functionality and limitations be damned.'

Thanks.

Hey, I have a heavy battery drain problem.. just in 9 hrs..35% battery is gone..and the idle state is taking 72% of my battery...I don't know how to wipe my battery stats..pls help

Using mik_os rom + franco's kernel + zram enabled
[Optimus One, P500, V General] NSCoyote:
boot into recovery using cwm, under the advanced option theres a feature to wipe battery stats, charge to full then wipe stats let drain to power off then recharge to full and away ya go
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
It is a feature (answered already about 10x by now) - and you are apparently the only person ever complaining about having the possibility to free up internal RAM. Do NOT move the apps if you dislike it, heck, do NOT use the ROM if you dislike it.

Bye.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kchiman:

i hv wipe stat before i flash the rom

however, it is normal that my phone stay awake when screen is off if i do not wipe my battery after flashing the rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I still need to be sure.

How am I supposed to use A2SD in this? There are so many types and variants of A2SD, I have no idea which one to choose.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ssanthosh:
What was your battery backup with stock ROM
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
I have a few display issues with this ROM

It's not as visible in the screenshot as it's on the screen. It's most apparent in the 'Phone' icon and the 'Downloads' icon. The black and green background respectively aren't smooth, there are dots visible as if it was a very low resolution photo.

Display was fine in Froyo (Megatron and void). Is it something to do with manual DPI settings?

ALSO

How do we save apps on the ext partition?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Is surface dethering enabled in setting > cm setting > performance > surface dethering? If not, enable it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
It is enabled.

But I noticed this is an ADW only problem. They look fine in Launcher Pro. But LP isn't able to handle the animated desktop wallpaper when I scroll the screen sideways. ADW does this well.

I guess I'll give it another day else I'll go back to froyo
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shyam2010:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gugler:

btw, sd card installation is not restriction, it's option.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElevateMusic:
why shouldn't we move widget's to the sd card? I understand that they won't load upon booting up the phone but why don't they?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Because the sdcard is mounted after the boot process.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
The title is misleading. First of all Its not port of gingerbread 2.3.4. (The android gingy source is merged to solve many bugs) And its unofficial port of cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC0, the beta 6.5.2 is for our port not cyanogenMod.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luci84tm:
Screen ON lights OFF in locking mode

Hello I'm new here...

I'm currently using the 6.5.2 from mik and I have battery drain problems.

My battery is draining 40% in 6 hours in standby on 2G data/wifi disabled.

What I have observed in all mik's roms that when I lock my screen the light is turned off but the LCD it's self remains on, this means that I'm able to read the clock on my display when the screen it's locked only if I'm stare into the sun with a certain angle.

What I suspect that the screen it's consuming power even when it's locked.

And also burn the display where the clock it's displayed in locking mode.

Sorry for the English but it's very had for me to explain this behavior.

Can someone please check this and tell me the result?

You can also test with a flashlight turned on the screen in a certain angle.

P.S: this is not the normal behavior of the phone because I have checked this on another phone LG P500 with the original LG ROM 2.2.2 and the screen it's off completely when the phone it's locked.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
Several questions about problems discovered in mik's rom and his kernel

Hello everyone sorry my post will be long but I am really annoyed by the problems:

Status

ROM: mik_os's Gingerbread 2.3.4 CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC0 beta 6.5.2

Kernel: 2.6.32.41 mik@mik-desktop #14 (the one with the ROM)

Overclocking: 122/729 Smartass Governor - Totally stable

Question 1 - Franco's Kernel, ZRAM

2 days ago, I was using franco's kernel v15, with ZRAM.

I experienced a lot of random shutdowns.

So I decided to give up the great performance and go for stability.

So I have done the following:

> Recovery mode

> Nandroid backup

> Backup google's proprietary system files

> Flash mik's CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC0 beta 6.5.2

> Restore google's proprietary system files

> Reboot

> Flash Darktremor Apps2SD

> Reboot

Then, mik's kernel had replaced franco's kernel.

did i miss to wipe cache & dalvik before replacing kernels?

if so, what is the consequences of wiping them?

But, is it necessary to disable ZRAM? and how? That may cause my following problems.

[SOLVED] Question 2 - Noob question about Gingerbread notification bar

I would like to ask, what is the difference, of the "phone signal" icon and the "internet connection" icon (both data and wifi) being shown as White and Green? I've noticed that it becomes green when it is successfully connected to the internet, but can anyone give me the exact meaning of the two colors?

Question 3 - Data Connection

I am using EDGE 2.75G at the moment.

When I turned on Data and the screen is on, it works perfectly.

However, when I turn off the screen for a moment like 5-10 minutes and turn it back on, the data connection has Disconnected!

The icon and the phone signal have become white and there is only blinking of the upload arrow but not the download arrow.

What i had to do to solve this is - disable data and enable it back.

Somehow this is annoying to me, is there anything related to the sleeping of the phone? I want my data connection to be connected at all times.

It is nothing about APN as I have correctly restored all the APNs from my O1 stock open-box state and the firmware of my location.

Also, I was using Data on Demand but it is confirmed to be switched to "ON" at all times instead of "Auto" (turns off your data when screen is off)

[SOLVED] Question 4 - SD Card unmount by itself everytime after reboot

Randomly, my SD card is unmounted by itself! I couldn't see my gallery photos, cannot write in anything such as Camera, Audio Recording, APN backup etc.

I did a manual remount in settings > storage and it has been fixed. But this is surely annoying me, anyone knows the root of this problem?

Correction: It occurs EVERYTIME I Reboot, and now after I reboot everytime I go to the settings and remount it. Problem doesnt randomly occur until next reboot.

Is it because of I didnt wipe cache & dalvik before replacing kernels?

I've checked the hardware slot of my SD card and it is perfectly mounted. It is caused by software problems.

Thanks for your time reading this!! and Please Help Me! :):)

This means that device can't go into sleep mode. When device in sleepmode (past 2 sec after locking) lcd is disabled too.

And it's normal while you charging, otherwise try to find application that prevent device to sleep.

White - when sync off or android can't sync (poor internet connection, etc).

Green - sync on and successfull.

SDCard Slow write speed while mounted

I am facing slow write speeds while sdcard is mounted. I may say that these slow speeds appeared after I have used S2E app, but right now I've erased all the SDCard and created a single FAT32 partition.

I don't know the cause of these slow speeds, may be the CM7? I'm currently using beta 6.5.2, but on all versions of CM7 was behaving the same. It seems that is a little faster when mounted in recovery, but while mounted while the android is up, the speed is very slow, less than 1 MB/s. Also the CPU usage is very high while writing.

Reading from the SDCard is very fast, over 10 MB/s.

The card performs very well in a card reader, but it becomes frustrating that I cannot use it properly, it even writes faster while connected to a FTP server on the phone.

Any idea what can it be?

first , dont spam here. ur question is answered several times. there is no such restriction. it is only a feature, and a very simple one, that the dev didnt add. his wish/laziness/inability/no time/etc etc.. whatever u call it. there are many apps out there which adds this feature to all apps, so that they can be moved to sd. its nothing so serious. so yes, this rom has that inbuilt and so , plz, dont ask the same question again , n thank every soul who had paitience n explained this to you several times. and btw, from the next time, use the thanx button. i know ur a noob, esp. to rooting, but that is exactly what xda and its search feature is for. use it. will be befeficial for everyone. this acctually was a verry verry noob type question , n not at all related to the rom. u still have questions , pm me.

Camera App

Question concerning the camera app:

Did anyone manage to permanently change the exposure settings of the camera?

When I open up the settings, I can change that value from 0(default) to +16 (way too bright). Values around 8 or 9 seem to really improve most pictures. However, when I set that value to e.g. 8, its 0 again the next time I start the camera.

Seems to me the seettigns are saved in /data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml , but changing the exposure in the app doesnt change the file. After some googling I found the following key/value:

<string name="pref_camera_exposure_key">5</string> (dont know why this is a string, doesnt make sense to me ...)

Inserting this in the config doesnt change anything, though :-(

Anyon knows how to modify the exposure permanently?

2. Rarely goes into cpu freak mode (no screen and buttons flashing) unless overclocking over 748

3. Runs quick through menus

4. Works great with franco's kernals

5. Works with ungaze apps to sd (I have 1gig of app space :D)
