[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Some of the user's here, myself included, have been having issues installing any ROMs/ kernels built by Faux. What I'm trying to do is pinpoint the exact cause of this and hopefully rectify the issue.

I'm currently downloading all available ROMs and will install each to determine which are flashable and which are not.

Flashing Procedures

0. Boot into CMW Recovery: External with EXT 4 support using volume down + power method

1. Wipe Data

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

4. Format /System

5. Flash ROM

6. Select Power Down from CMW Menu

7. Power on phone without wall charger plugged in

ROM List:

Bionix- Confirmed as working

EagleBlood GB- Confirmed as working

EagleBlood FR- Confirmed as working

Ultimate- Confirmed as working

Light&Sinister- Confirmed as working

Dark&Sinister- Confirmed as working

Faux AOSP-

NOW WORKING!!

CM7- Confirmed as working

LG Stock- Confirmed as working

Observations:

Bionix converts /system and /data to ext3. I figured that if the issue we were having with Faux was due to format errors then I could just flash Faux over Bionix and it would boot. In testing, it seems like Faux gets further when flashed this way but still refuses to boot. Before I would only get the initial LG screen and then it would black out. Now I can get to the second LG screen with blue background but it hangs there. Will run logcat to see what is causing the freeze once I get logcat running again.

My current theory is that there is a difference in the boot.img that Faux has built for his ROM that will not boot correctly. I have the same issue with his kernels as well. They boot to the first LG splash screen and then the screen shuts off. Still struggling with my logcat issue so I'm at a standstill until that is fixed.

Development:

I was finally able to get pure AOSP to boot by flashing Faux's AOSP and then flashing Morfic's CM7 kernel. I personally believe this definitely proves that there is something in Faux's boot.img that doesn't function properly on all devices.

At Faux's suggestion, I flashed his Stock Voltage kernels in order to see if I could get the phone to boot.

Kernel:

[ Start @ 1.0 GHz, Stock Voltage, Max @ 1.2 GHz ]

(Official LGE/Tegra Voltage Values, Same as STOCK LGE Kernel)

CM7 Kernel Version 0.1.9- Boots to second LG splash screen then freezes.

CM7 Kernel Version 0.1.9 With EXT4-Booted fine but still displayed Morfic boot animation for some reason. Kernel version shows as Faux's in about phone, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
I want to flash my first ROM, any suggestions on which one is the most stable and better with battery life than the Stock ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I didn't test any of the ROMs for quality but I would personally stick with a Froyo based ROM for now. Gingerbread is simply too buggy and missing a lot of features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
[B][U]SUCCESS!!![/U][/B]

I was finally able to get pure AOSP to boot by flashing Faux's AOSP and then flashing Trinity's CM7 kernel. I personally believe this definitely prooves that there is something in Faux's boot.img that doesn't function properly on all devices. That would explain why I am unable to flash any of his kernels, either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] faux123:
Most likely scenario is that you have a "weaker" chip which cannot handle the default OC to 1.1 and Under volting. Because of your case and a few others like you with the "weaker" chips, I have decided from next version on to include LG STOCK VOLTAGE version of my kernel as default kernel for the ROM and it's up to the users to install the OC/UV version themselves afterwards.

My solution is while in CWM, after you flashed the ROM, before you reboot, FLASH my STOCK VOLTAGE (SV) version of the kernel, then reboot. You should have NO ISSUES with STOCK VOLTAGE kernels.

So far for MT4G and G2x, I have been lucky with my phones. Both phones I can Undervolt and overclock AT the SAME TIME with very aggressive settings and remain stable with multiple runs of stress tests and benchmarks. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
The only problem with that theory, Faux, is that Morfic's kernel undervolts as well. Flashing his kernel on top of your ROM is the current workaround that I've found.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] faux123:
I don't know what Morphic is doing with his under volting, theres no source code to compare. My source is based on CM7 with my tweaks added and its available via github for inspection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Please don't view my opinions as doubting your ability. This has just been a frustrating journey for a lot of us because we want to use your kernels/ROMs. I couldn't find anywhere where this had been addressed so I decided to take it upon myself. At this time, the two options we have are flashing your stock voltage kernel or Morfic's. Now that it's booted and running, I can say that you've built a beautiful ROM and I hope you continue to support it. Amazing work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] faux123:
I took NO offense of your investigation or posts. I am actually glad you did all these. You have provided me reason for using stock voltage kernel as default. I was contemplating about this change a while back, but since your post, I decided to do it so more people can try my ROM without having random reboots or issues due to UV/OC combination.

I am simply posting what I can and cannot do. I can do only what I can read and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Glad I could help and especially glad I finally figured out a way to boot your ROM. I was feeling left out haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikdiamon:
Doh! He said rectify lol
[Defy General] letronje:
I'm planning to buy the Motorola DEFY. I was able to try out a demo piece for some time at a store .... It seems to have a vertical scrolling screen with icons as well as a set of horizontal scrolling home screens with icons. While the horizontal scrolling seems snappy, the vertical scrolling seems a bit laggy. As I install more apps, will the vertical scroll lag increase further. What's the point of having both those screens anyways ? Most phones just one horizontal scrolling ?
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Horizontal is similar to your desktop. You put shortcut of apps or widgets based on your preferences. The vertical is the one where all apps are located. This is where you get the apps you want to put in the horizontal for easy access. lag can be reduced depending on the number of apps and settings
[Defy General] Krusadr:
Hi!

The lag is, I believe, for the caching of icons. Because, once icons are cached (meaning you have been through all icons in the vertical main menu) try scrolling and it will be buttery smooth! Ofcourse, the more the apps, the more time it takes to get the icons cached, so more lag. But what I have noticed is that even though the main menu has been cached, the lag appears unpredictably. I suggest launching apps frm search since its faster.
[Defy General] WolfFX:
As mentioned, the more apps you add, the slower it may get.

But maybe the android version (eclair, froyo, gingerbread?) on the phone you used wasn't too much up to date, or some laggy application was running, these could have affected the performance of the phone.

I use LauncherPro on my Defy (gingerbread CM7) and it has the option to hide (unused, unwanted) apps on the app drawer, which also increases speed.

after read this tutorial it doesn't work.

I readed many tutorial but i can't unbrick it, please help me.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
First thing think that post was very old, CM never worked right on Streak 5, so if you get your Streak up and running never load it again. As for fixes, PM DJ_Steve and ask him to either upload his qdl tool or permission for one of XDA members to upload it. I have it, but without his permission will not upload it.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
you cant install pkgs with streakmod, only a stock recovery can install those
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbubble:
if fastboot is working

use fastboot or recovery flasher, and push the stock recovery to your phone, then you should be able to install the .pkg

or just put streakdroid on your sd card and install it using the recovery you already have installed
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chantik:
That's right , StreakMod or ClockWork cannot flash stock rom . Only Stock Recovery can flash Stock rom a.k.a Update.pkg.

Go to fastboot and then flash stock recovery that you want (depend stock rom you have to flash). Her is the L I N K that you can download stock rom and recovery image.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chantik:
And for root , use this L I N K.

Maybe ... this can help your problem
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chancellor:
Ok, guys tonight I will try thanks for all

Bye lele
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chancellor:
Now it work,

Download this zip file which contains a recovery for downgrading here.

Move the recovery.img file to wherever your fastboot.exe is.

Put your Streak into fastboot mode ( camera + power ).

Open up command line type: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img

Once it says it's done writing type: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot in command line.

Download Official 1.6 (6267 Build) from http://www.mediafire.com/?nib62786hjj93x4.

Rename the file to Update.pkg and copy it to the root of your SD Card.

Dowload this file and put it on the root of your SD Card.

Download this file and unzip it to your SD Card

Root it's ok :-) but can i know if I really allowed root?

Question:

How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose one of them?

bye

Lele
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
lele, that is good news, remember stay away from cyanogenmod, it is not ready for use on the Streak. If you want custom ROM go with 1.9.0 with either 351 or 353 BaseBand. Or you can wait till 2.0.0 is bit more stable and go with it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chancellor:
Ok i will try it in this days.

About my question?

(How can I have stock rom and recovery image both? or must I choose them

)

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
Assuming you can fastboot again, very simple use MultiRecoveryFlasher at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000455.

If you have can't get to work, like me one of the very few that it just doesn't work. You can go to TheManii's web page, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/. Download recovery img for version you want and dowload that version for example go here, http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/, download recovery.img. Than go parent page and download Streak_354_15881_11.pkg.

Once you have the pkg, rename Update.pkg and move to root of SD card. Reboot into fastboot mode, flash recovery.img. Once complete reboot while holding volume up and volume down buttons. That will take you to Dell update menu. At that point just push the camera button and let it go, will be in 354 when you start up.

Will be in Chinesse if I remember right, no big deal, just click on box on lower right of the screen and select your language. Or you can go with 351, 353 or what ever version TheManii has on that page that has a recovery img.
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
I have noticed that almost all the issues which cropped up in Eclair or Froyo versions of G3 were resolved one way or the other. However, one issue that still remains (atleast for most of us from what i can gather) is the audio issue.

It has been frequently reported that while playing music, a "crackling" or "radio static" noise is heard, especially in the silent portions of a track. I have tried almost everything to resolve this - played the same track on other mobiles to discount the possibility of inferior track quality, adjusted equalizer, changed kernels, flashed different ROMS (Stock & Custom), Rebuilt audio values etc. but the problem remained. The only possible reason i can think of is whether voodoo affected my settings since that was implemented in Fugumod2.4 Beta3. But this is just an assumption...

For people who do not have this problem or have overcome this issue - could you please share the details on how you got it working ?
[Galaxy 3 General] marcellusbe:
Check if it's not related with cpufreq driver ... Use setcpu and set to performance and check if the noise are gone.

In addition, try another player like songbird.

Give feedback :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
@marcellusbe: Appreciate ur effort in taking time out from ur busy schedule n replying. Anyway, back to the details -

I has used Fugumod 2.4 Beta3 Standard with SetCpu at conservative. Never changed the filesystems. Now on stock kernel. Will flash Fugumod again and try performance on SetCpu. Might take some time. Meanwhile i shall also try SetCpu on stock kernel just as an additional effort. Tried another music player but the same prob. Never tried songbird though, will do. And just as an afterthought, i have never used an OC kernel.

Will give more feedback later. Wishin ya luck for ur CM7 project !

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonnislav:
I don't see how callibrating the battery helps extend battery life? The battery remains at the same capacity and draining any battery completely shortens the lifespan of the battery. I can see that the system might get a better prediction of battery life... But you get that regardless after using the phone for a few days / week...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazzysandman:
Has anyone ever got water under there screen? And how did you fix it? I have Blanches from putting on zagg screen protector, was not paying attention and spray the phone with the solution. Sprint well one of the sell reps told me to just use a blow drier or something to dry it up, I've had it in a vacuum sealed container of rice with some silica gel
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD1zzle:
Never tried it on an Evo, but in my experience with old phones, and old electronics in general, I have had success with removing the screen protector, removing the battery and battery panel, and putting it in a bowl of rice inside of a ziplock bag (as you mentioned) for a while, and then removing it and hitting it with a blow dryer (on very low heat) for a while and placing it back in the rice if it is persistent. Be sure the rice, obviously, is dry before putting it in the bowl, and don't jostle it around too much too avoid any nasty scratches, or rice slipping in where it shouldn't be. And also be sure to carefully inspect it before powering it back up to make sure no rice got anywhere it shouldn't.

Best of luck, sir. I install a ton of Zaggs fairly regularly (work at a Best Buy, although am out of the sales game now thankfully, just do it for friends now), and I typically spray a tiny bit onto the screen, but mostly onto the cleansing cloth.
