Please re-read the instructions first for Installing CWM, then re-read the instructions for this ROM.

You do not use ROM manager, you MUST install ClockworkMod Recovery manually for the time being.

Also, this is not an installable .zip, this is a ROM backup that must be restored through Clockwork.

If you're new to rooting, I would suggest possibly waiting a few more days until I can get this all as a single-click program, or you may risk bricking your device.

If you require assistance, join #lgrevolution on IRC ( http://webchat.freenode.net ) and ask, I'd be happy to help.
[LG Revolution] 3083joe:
Excited for this and i havent even recieved my Revo yet, Friday or Monday!! WOOT
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Looks like all the needed files are there in android.policy.jar, but I just need to figure out how to disable LG's style and enable the stock slider.

Hmmmm....
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
Yeah after getting deeper into it and learning about ADB and whatnot I'll shall just wait patiently for the one click method you suggested!
[LG Revolution] powder007:
I like the LG lockscreen. Any chance you'd add an option to switch it instead of removing it completely?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If that can be done easily, I will.

However, it looks like I may just end up switching it, then offering a clockwork .zip that will let you restore LG's lockscreen, since I'm not quite sure how to bring that out to Settings as an option...

Also!

I'm almost done with an easy method for installing CWM! Should be as simple as putting a file on your SD card, and downloading an app from the Market. (provided you're rooted, that is)
[LG Revolution] powder007:
That will work, thank you sir.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Thank you so much for this! My battery life is 10 times better already with this rom! Not to mention the speed increase! Love it!
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
Will loading this require a full wipe? or will I be able to keep my downloaded programs?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
you keep your files/configuration, but everything in the system directory will change. This means if you have anything you want to keep in the system directory that you put there custom will be lost. So chances are you will lose nothing.

Mileage may vary as I know at least one person had to do a factory reset, but that isn't the norm.
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
ok word...

ill check it out then =) I actually like the LG stock Rom but cant help but being a geek and trying new things!:D I just didn't feel like having to re-download everything again on a phone I only had for a few weeks now.
[LG Revolution] powder007:
LG's calendar widget is gone huh?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Cubed, you got any idea how to kick the volume up on this? Is it something that can be incorporated into a ROM?

edit: I know there was a flashable zip called "turn it to eleven" floating around in the Eris world, but it seems to be lost.
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
Where can I find the md5sum for this .img file? I know how to check it through windows but I Kdont know what it should be in the first place.... or am i missing something here?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Are you talking about the ROM? It has the md5 in the zip. All you have to do is do the advanced restore to system and it should perform it's md5 check (automatically) prior to overwriting your system directory.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
The goo-inside.me shows the MD5 for the zip download itself while you are downloading the zip file. Once extracted. nandroid.md5 contians the MD5 for the images.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Not sure what you mean, this is a ROM in the finest sense-- a full backup of a working system directory.

Are you asking for me to turn it into a Clockwork installable zip file? I can do that too, but for right now I can't see any advantages of that.

If you would rather have me release it as an installable zip file, I'll switch-- doesn't matter to me.
[LG Revolution] juicehead9:
Cubed you keep doing your thing what ever is the best for you to do! I know i'm enjoying your work so far.....
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
THIS! Thank ye.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
No, I'm saying there was a zip file at one time that was flashable specifically to boost volume levels on speaker, headset, bluetooth, etc for the Eris. I'm curious if you are familiar with the hack and if so, if you would consider incorporating it?

The flashable zip itself has gone MIA, so I can't see what it did. I found a DSP manager that installed fine, but honestly, I don't think that does anything (I'll have to play with it - it may be just for Eris).
[LG Revolution] Joseph The Red:
After some initial SIM card issues as well as "Connectivity" that required a factory reset as well as having to unzip the file a half-dozen times I got it up and running. I am pretty stoked and need to get paid so I can donate!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Bad news for us who want kernel sources: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15013329#post15013329

Anyone wanna lend a hand to get LG to give us the kernel source?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ahh, I know what you're asking for-- tweak zips!

Yep, those will be coming VERY soon. Simple things like build.prop mods, or volume boosts, or themes-- all those will be released as tweak zips.
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
EH... no. doing an MD5 check on the img and the nandroid.md5 produces different numbers.. should of they been the same?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
No, the md5 file is for the restoration process. It just includes the combined md5 for that zip. You don't need to do the check. Nandroid restore process does it for you to ensure safety.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Are you doing a md5 check on the system.img file? It should result in

2d4be36b90667a7ab5f96c2624efa343 system.img

However, Clockwork will usually check that md5 for you before restoring, it's a safety check built in.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
In my previous post I said "contains". Meaning you have to open up nandroid.md5 with an editor to copy the MD5 hash of the images to use for comparison.

the nandroid.md5 should look like:

2d4be36b90667a7ab5f96c2624efa343 system.img

as what thecubed had pointed out.

this is the md5 hash:

2d4be36b90667a7ab5f96c2624efa343

for this file

system.img

Like what Thecubed and Majorpay already pointed out. Clockwork checks for this.
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Any chance of this coming back?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Sorry, didn't see your reply there...

I can re-add it if you'd like... I wasn't sure if the LG widgets worked outside of LGHome, since I wasn't able to add them from within LauncherPro...
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
ok so all of a sudden i have lost USB functionality of my Revo.. when i plug it in to my computer (and i have always ask under connection settings enabled) the process com.lge.autorun FC's.. If I don't have always ask it just charges, no matter what option I choose as the default usb connection.. Strange thing is that it just happened i haven't changed anything since yesterday afternoon and it worked fine yesterday.. I tried rebooting, my only other option is to restore my backup before I installed the V1.1 nandroid.

any ideas?
[LG Revolution] centeryourmind:
Just wanted to say great job! this rom works great!
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
ok so i restored the system nandroid again and all works again... not sure what i did but it works fine now :)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Sounds to me like it'd be a good idea for you to do a /data wipe, since I don't have this problem...
[LG Revolution] powder007:
No biggie.

I spent some time looking for some kind of replacement for it on the market and the truth is, most of them suck imo. haha. If you can get it to work w/ adw that would be cool, i'm running your 1.1 right now. I really like being rid of LGHome though and the rom runs great.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Have you tried Beautiful Widgets? It's skinnable...

[Edit] Not sure what I was thinking... See njKeever's post. I use the same thing.
[LG Revolution] njKeever:
I highly recommend you check out Android Agenda Widget http://market.android.com/details?id=com.roflharrison.agenda. It is completely customizable in every way. You won't be disappointed if you take the time to set it up the way you want.
[LG Revolution] meton:
it was EXTERMINATEd ......
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
i downloaded an app called lcd density for root and set mine to 200 (default is 240) and i really like the change.. the author says the settings will not survive a reboot but if your looking to make changes you could see what looks best with his app then apply your changes in the rom itself and you won't have to worry about issues.

and once again thanks for all the work so far!!
[LG Revolution] Squiz0329:
I think you can change this in root explorer. In the build.prop.

Just did it, and it saved on reboot.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Wouldn't decreasing the lcd density make pixel placement more sparse (or duplication of pixels), causing lowered resolution / viewable area?
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
well all i know is when i went higher than 240 the icons got bigger (and i had to pull the battery because only the notification bar showed up

So far the only app I have found that doesn't play well with new density is the dialer see attached pics..(not sure where that weird hue came from, i was using "shoot me" app from the market)
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Use drocap, u cn fix the weird discolorations in the settings.

Installed recovery and this Rom without a problem. Good stuff, keep up the good work mang :-)
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
A few more suggestions on the ROM:

1. implement the fix we went through last night to get kindle/amazon mp3 removed.

2. for long press power implement Quick Boot from the market (it's free)... I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice.

3. Blue tooth has some strange issue... Sometimes voice dialer works, sometimes it doesn't with the buttons. But I have a bigger suggestion (and this would make you famous)... Make the blue tooth phone button work with Voice Search... That would be awesome... Many in the Android world have asked for this feature, but I don't think Google has ever responded to it.

I think with the blue tooth issue, you may be able to change the default action to long press search? That would be pretty cool...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
#1 is easy.

#2: not sure, long press power is handled by the framework-- I could change which intent it listens to, and have it broadcast right to the quick power app though.. I'll look into it..

#3: i'd need to look into how android handles bluetooth buttons-- it shouldn't be that hard to just change the intent that is signalled. I could just create a new intent for long press bt button... I'll let you know what I find.

As for bt flakeyness, I don't have a bt headset to test on, but I'll see if i can borrow my dad's for a day or so...
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
Thanks a bunch for this. I was surprised to find that my Apps were not wiped out. I was expecting to have to reinstall everything.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Would there be any possibility of changing the long pressing of the back button in the stock browser to open bookmarks instead of history? Maybe its just personal preference, but a shortcut should bring me to something I use... :-\

AOSP Lockscreen ported!

[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
Yo

Long time user of xda threads.... many many successful roots and ROMs, therefore many thanks to all involved.

Have never been screwed to where I had to post in a forum.

Revo keeps booting to clockwork, won't go past. Tried every combination of restoring with all three backups I have present. No dice.

Is there anyone that could get me a full copy of stock ROM to flash?? Or at this point, any suggestions would save my life.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ehh, you're not screwed-- this phone is pretty much unbrickable :)

A few questions:

1) Did you do a "Master Clear" / "Factory Reset" in Android on accident?

2) When you installed Clockwork, did you make a backup of the p8 partition?
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
phew

Haha dude you are a beast. Yea i did a factory restore from Android. I hadnt slept in days... God knows what i was thinking. Did a backup of everything when i installed CW. Also, to kill two birds with one stone, once restored is there a way to get the lg keyboaed and dictuonary back, ir maybe just dictionary i suck at spelling.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ah, okay, follow this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15151822&postcount=137

and you'll be back in working order!

The dictionary should be included in the Gingerbread keyboard-- you may just have to turn it on in Settings.
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
Still cant figure the dictionary aspect out. I swear to you cubed if didnt have a mirror i would swaer i have gone blonde this week. I noticed Android and like two other words are in it aside fron that it is blank. If the answer is obvious pleasw dont repzond i deserve to suffer for being air head
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Haha! Well, first, is your phone back to working order?
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
Well here is the kicker. Have two revos, one has to go back to verizon. I have one on 1.1 because I wiped the data on the other one while in CDMA only mode. Couldn't get the sim to register. Restored, recognized having a SIM but would not activate.

Sleep deprived, I did a factory restore for some reason. I am going to go do the shell commands in a sec to see if it will come back, but I will be stuck again if SIM won't register. Now I stole my wides iPhone to type this cause GB keyboard makes me sound low class.

I am going to donate some monies to you because I feel you work hard at this.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
So.. lemme make sure I've got this right (as it is 1:40AM here :) )...

You've got two Revo's -- one won't register it's SIM and is stuck in Clockwork, and the other one is working fine?

If it's just the SIM that won't recognize, there's an easy way to fix that-- well, not a particularly easy way, but a way nonetheless.

(Hint: it involves restoring the factory-stock NANDROID I posted, and removing clockwork, then restoring the phone with LG's factory reset)

As for the GB keyboard issue, check the Keyboard settings in Android, I think there's an option to turn the dictionary on or off, but I'm not sure since I don't use autocorrect...
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
Ok. It is 3 am here and yes you are spot on. First revo is now back online but sim won't recognize. Bump the keyboard, how can I get my hands on the factory stock and get clockwork off... I guess in my clouded state I decieded to go straight for the factory restore.
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
I beg your pardon, I found the post.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
So, there's a few ways to do it-- and all of them involve more sleep first :)

Get some sleep so you're clearer, since this is a much more involved process than I feel comfortable writing instructions for at this hour of the night.

Can you be on IRC tomorrow (today?) around 12AM PST ?

Meet me in #lgrevolution on freenode (webchat is http://webchat.freenode.net ) and I'll be happy to walk you through it.

We'll get this working without needing to send it back in to VZW :)
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
I absolutely can be. Just to pick your brain. I never admit defeat. I only have to send back because it took too long for the to send me the first one so I made them send two and an Extened battery. Hahaha
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
You got a second Revo and an extended battery for free?

Dang! Nice work!
[LG Revolution] nappyheadz:
Sort of... I have to give one back but they let me keep the thunderbolt. It is a long story I will tell you on irc tomorrow. If I don't clean one up they will probably charge me. In any case, a million thanks I will show love so you can keep the dev work up.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
haha okay, I'll be on IRC tomorrow.

Restore AOSP Battery Use

Long time lurker, first time poster.

First off, thanks so much thecubed! Once I had CWM on it took less than 20 minutes in total to get this ROM running, and running flawlessly at that.

One request (if possible): Restore the AOSP battery use monitor! Both other Androids I've had (Droid and Thunderbolt) would show 10-15 items and their percentage. The Revo shows 3, 5 at most. Display isn't even on there!

I've seen some other posts on this but no solution. I would assume that LG is just hiding/filtering apps so they can hide how much battery life Bing sucks up, right? :rolleyes:

Do you think this would be possible?

Keep up the good work, thecubed!
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
nevermind.. sorry.
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Just a little tail chasing going on here. But an fyi to people having problems w/ widgets or gmail or something not updating or acting funky. Try uninstall/reinstall and it worked for me. Gmail wasn't deleting emails when i did it from my phone and uninstalling the update since it won't let you uninstall the app, then reinstalling the update worked for me. Beautiful widgets was the same thing, it kept resizing randomly and i uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed it (so far, knock on wood). I guess that could be a data problem cuz i didn't wipe?
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Agree'd, mine just shows like 80% android system most of the time.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Wiping data is usually a good thing to do when changing out ROMs, but in this case you don't need to since most of the frameworks and apps are the same.

But, if you had some weirdness in the LG stock rom, and don't wipe after installing 1.1, that weirdness has the possibility to amplify into something weirder.

As far as the Android power manager, I actually haven't looked into that... to be honest, I've never used it and forgot it was there at all.

I'll take a look into that after I get a few other projects done (RevoToolkit, Gingerbread theme)
[LG Revolution] razor532:
CW recovery?

I just thought the cm recovery wasn't working on the REVO. I rooted my phone today after I got it activated and have ROM manager installed but I am afraid that if I flash recovery on it I will have problems. I read all the posts out there I think on the subject and really haven't seen to many having problems. I would love to put the De-Crapified Rom 1.1 on my Revo just don't want to see it get trashed.

Any suggestions? Thank you for the hard work and the dedication to this phone I think it is awsome.:D
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Loving it!

Thanks to the cubed, I'm up and running and am on 1.1. Thank you do much for all you do, and I donated to do my part. You were right, does wonders for battery life.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
ROM manager or cubed's custom recovery? Big difference...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Umm, ROM Manager DOES NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE!

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!

Okay, with that said, currently the only way to put my De-Crapified rom on your phone is through Clockwork. The only way at the moment to get clockwork on your phone is to follow my post titled "[RELEASE] CWM for the Revo" or something like that.

However, if you're uncomfortable with ADB and whatnot, wait a few days, I'm writing my own version of ROM manager-- you can check the status of it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144951

Hopefully if all goes according to plan, I should have the RevoToolkit done here either by Friday or early Saturday.
[LG Revolution] razor532:
I found your thread on cwm and installed it. moved the zip rom 1.1 but i could not see it unless. i went. to root explorer. can i flash the image file from the zip? Thank you
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Did you extract it and put it on your external SD card in the clockworkmod/restore folder? All the instructions are in the first post of this thread. You put it in the cwm folder in restore, then you do an advanced restore and hit system. Let it flash then once done do a dalvik wipe from advanced, then reboot.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
I think you have to unzip it first into the directory mentioned in the directions.
[LG Revolution] razor532:
thank you for the tipi read over the word extract. Got it.
[LG Revolution] Hiphopular:
I downloaded the zip, but I don't have the /clockworkmod/backup/ option on my SD card.

If you've never booted into Clockwork that's normal. Just make those folders.

I know you fixed this with the boot up screen and would really like to just hit a button to answer the phone. Really do appreciate your work and this phone is awesome now that you got rid of the crap.....

[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I'll second that request. Since most of us have fairly poor battery life, I'd be curious to see a detailed representation of where it's all going as well.

I noticed a marked improvement when removing the Go Weather widget. I notice that this phone rapes the battery when it accesses it's 3G. I'm almost positive this correlates with the weirdness of it's method of connecting to 3g (the pause and think before actually doing something).

I don't know about 4g because I don't have it.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
there is definitely something draining the battery, some days my battery life is great, others it drains ridiculously fast even when I don't touch it. Although forcing 3g mode seems to greatly improve battery life and the reception is way better than my old fascinate.

You should be able to use titanium backup. It should work to uninstall it. I'd make a backup sheath just incase. No promises, but that is an option. Let met know what you end up doing.
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
So i rooted my device and installed Clockwork though the adb shell and everything works fine. But i cannot get this rom to work. i get "MD5 mismatch!" with both 1.0 and 1.1. Ive tried redownloading multiple times with the same results. Did i miss a step between installing clockwork? when i did the clockwork install, the md5 matched the one listed that they tell you to double check. not sure if that is information needed or not.

also, im on Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.0.2

__________________________

Fixed from IRC.

Just a note, you have to make sure the directory is:

j:\clockworkmod\backup\revo_decrap-1.1\

whereas i had it stored at:

J:\clockworkmod\backup\2011-07-07 decraped base\revo_decrap-1.1

+donated :)

____________________________________

Having 1.1 up now, here are a quick few suggestions:

-Allow for the removal of LG's facebook and twitter application so that the standard version from the marketplace can be installed without having two of them.

-Input customization panel for ADW.Launcher.

other than that, it looks AMAZING!
