the keyboard on the rom is a slight step up from the rev keyboard. If you see the qwerty line, you can long press for other actions. I didn't dig it, so I went with "swiftkey beta" out of the market, which auto predicts what you are going to type, and has an htc style keyboard.
[LG Revolution] Young Dc:
Cubed just wanted to stop by and say thanks for all the work you doing on the Lg revo.. i sent mine back, just couldn't let go of my Droid X for the revo.. waiting on the Bionic... Tc cubed keep up the good work...
[LG Revolution] wheelern:
Not sure what you're saying. Mine looks exactly the same...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
New ROM coming next week, alongside an update of RevoToolkit and ClockworkMod.

Upcoming Changes:

ClockworkMod

* Use internal SD for backups

* Export internal/external SD over USB

* Fixed "stuck in clockwork" bug

* Map capacitive keys to buttons

RevoToolkit

* Major code overhaul

* Includes busybox (proper version) to avoid "revotoolkit does nothing!" bug

* Rewording some "help" items

Decrapped ROM

* 3G data slowness bug

* AOSP Phone App

* Free 3G/4G Hotspot app :)

* Default themed to Gingerbread theme

* Fixed DPI / font size (everything on this phone is huge!)

Decrapped ROM Addons

* Restore stock LockScreen

* Restore stock LGHome + Widgets

* Restore stock Contacts + Phone + Mail + Etc...

Now, keep in mind, this is all my "goals" list, not all of it's done yet.

I'm currently working on the hotspot app and the 3G bug, since those are the two most important "show-stoppers" that I can think of at the moment.

Also, in the spirit of "unconfusing" I'm going to try to write a "QuickStart" thread with links to common problems and how to fix them.

Hope y'all didn't think I disappeared on 'ya! (Just had lots of work to take care of in real life :) )
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Hey man thanks for the work! We appreciate all that you do for us!
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
I can't hardly wait.

I thought my 3g seemed really slow compared to the Thunderbolt I had.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Yep, there is indeed a problem with the 3G connection. I'm not 100% sure yet, but it either has something to do with the data timeout, or the interface bonding that LG uses to make seamless transition between 3G/4G (both interfaces are bonded to one interface that Android uses as it's "cellular data" connection).

The 3G issue and Wifi tether are my #1 priorities-- as they're extraordinarily annoying!

And, hopefully by the end of next week, I should have a CM7 preview for y'all :)

Can't guarantee what'll be working on it, but I'll at least have wifi/bt/3G working somehow.
[LG Revolution] jam510:
Sooo looking forward to an update!

And this is just icing on the cake. I went back to my Droid 1 with CM7 and am just in love.

Speaking of 3G/4G switch, think it will ever be possible to do this without a reboot? Or is it 100% a hardware issue?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I'm not sure at this point, I can be honest and say I haven't looked into it in any depth to be able to say yet.
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
And here I thought I was just going crazy! I new that I was able to use my Pulse app on 3g on my Tbolt. It practically refuses to update on 3g now.

Thanks for your continued hard work!
[LG Revolution] quixilver09:
Got it! Sweet!
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Cubed, as always, you rock. Let me know if you need me to test again. I'm always game!
[LG Revolution] jam510:
DPI / Font Size

Do you mean so we can drop the lcd_density through the Build.prop file below 190 and it won't mess anything up? Or you dialed it down before packaging the ROM? ...or something else entirely?

This is seriously one of the things I hate most about this phone. It's like getting a 22" monitor but keeping a 1024*768 pixel resolution! I want more screen real estate, not bigger text, darn it!
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
Hey Cubed, few suggestions:

I still see a lot of LG apps which are being unused and possibly drain the battery. Things like:

com.android.LGSetupWizard

com.lge.CDGHiddenMenu

com.LGE.internal (not sure what that is, could be the internal memory)

LG Hidden Menu

com.lge.sui.widget

^I found these under Battery Details and listed as Android System.^

com.verizon.permissions.appdirectedsms

com.verizon.permissions.qos

com.verizon.permissions.securesettings

com.verizon.permissions.vzwappapn

com.verizon.settingsservices

DRM Protected Content Storage

In Touch Widget

LG Hidden Menu

PVWmdrmService

^I found these under Manage Applications --> All^

Also, i would love to see the LG Facebook and LG Twitter removed or have a way to remove them, as they are completely horrible compared to the regular Android versions you can get off the market.

also, can we get a way to uninstall ADW.Launcher. I personally have purchased ADWLauncher EX which is a slightly better version, but ADW.Launcher still runs in the background. If you are to include ADW.Launcher in the install, please put a menu option no the settings list (because i do not see it).

More things i see could be added/changed:

-No stock alarm clock? My Droid 1 had a alarm clock built into Cyanogen (same one that came with the phone)

-Removal of the stop LG Mobile Hotspot, since it really doesn't work.

-Adding PDA Net for tethering to your list of instructions, which is something you install on your computer, then your computer installs it to your phone. No more market download for it.

-Removal of Polaris Office, or a way to uninstall it.

-Possible removal of Quick Reference Guide

-Ability to remove Slacker

-Possible removal of What's New

-Ability to remove World Clock Widget

Sorry this is a bit of a wall of text.
[LG Revolution] edwalsh:
not working for me

I have rooted the phone, I have installed the Revo Toolkit (the quick and easy way to install CWM), and I installed the Power Menu Mod just a few minutes ago (some issues with that but I will write about it in that thread).

But this one...not having any luck. First, I could not find /clockwordmod files on my SD card so I created them (as was suggested earlier in the thread). Extracted the .zip file and I had on my external SD card "/clockwordmod/backup/revo_decrap-1.1" So far so good I am thinking.

But when I boot to Clockwork and select backups...and then Advanced Restore I get: Couldn't open directory. No files found.

Any suggestions?

Update: Ok...fixed the problem...when creating the folders I typed clockworDmod instead of clockworKmod...it has now rebooted into the "decrapified ROM"...let me go and check it out.
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
Go get Root Explorer from the market and you can do just about everything on your list yourself.

Pm me your email address and ill send you pdanet.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Hopefully by the end of next week, I should have android-wifi-tether working in Hostpot (Infrastructure) mode.

It's actually not that hard, since LG seems to be using the stock Broadcom firmware and app, just with a Verizon customization layer on top of it.

I just want to make sure that if I fix wifi tether, that it'll work once we've got CM7 on here-- I don't wanna have to make two versions of wifi-tether :)
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Is cm7 gingerbread? I'm also interested in the lcd density change. Any walkthrough for that?
[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
ok, so when I try to restore the new rom it says md5 mismatch? I downloaded it direct to the phone, extracted and moved to the correct location using root explorer.
[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
So, I am not sure why no one responds to my posts, either on this thread or on the CWM thread, but I figured out what was causing the md5 mismatch. The files I moved weren't in the top folder of the extracted file. Once I moved them to the right place, the decrappified ROM worked like a charm. I'd like to thank thecubed and all the other developers for doing all the work I couldn't begin to understand.

On another note, on my old phone a Palm Pre(ugh, I know!) I had a patch on it to send all unknown numbers and numbers in my Do Not Call contact straight to voicemail without even ringing. I know there are call blockers on the market, but all the ones I have tried end up blocking calls I actually want to receive. I was wondering if there was a patch for the revolution or if one could possibly be made.
[LG Revolution] :
My suggestion would be to try YouMail: youmail.com You can setup a custom voicemail message for each caller and you can even setup what they call "ditchmail" messages for those you want blocked (They have the defualt Verizon number out of service message, for example).
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
hmm

Why can i not find this file?

Extract the .zip to your external SD card in /clockworkmod/backup/

This should give you "/clockworkmod/backup/revo_decrap-1.0"

I have the revotoolkit am i missing something else? Wondering if having rom manager is causing this because that is where im etting my clockworkmod folder..
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
you have to make that file
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
I understand i have to extract it to make the revo file but should there already be the back up file?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Only if you have done a backup through cwr. If you have not than you need to create a file.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Thanks for both of your help my phone wont connect to my pc through the usb cable now it is saying something about a factory usb detected and cant even get it to charge i dont think its a problem with anything i have done but the charge port itself cause if i hold it in certain positions it works.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Hey Beamer I know you may have tried this, but it could be the wire itself. A dollar store may have one.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
+1 - I have seen issues like this with cheaper cables.
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
have PDAnet, was asking if it could be included in the next update.

going to **** around with Root Explorer today, thanks for that suggestion :)

edit: ^then i saw it was $4 bucks. damn......
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Yeah I'm not sure what it is all it does is charge now it doesnt recognize that it is plugged into usb port at all but it does chage when I plug it into the pc and I am using the stock whatever came with the revo cable.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I actually bricked my revo due to a bad cable. Cubed had to bring it back to life for me. It was a rough few days. I quickly snipped the ends off and threw it away. Bad cables can screw you big time.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Thats's valuable information thanks man i did go get another cable and it is working fine so far.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Not a problem, you're very welcome. Glad to great all is good so far.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Beamer, did you download both drivers? LG has a set of drivers, as well as Verizon. I had an issue with getting my phone rooted, then realized I needed the Verizon drivers.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
QUOTE=markapowell;15775377]Beamer, did you download both drivers? LG has a set of drivers, as well as Verizon. I had an issue with getting my phone rooted, then realized I needed the Verizon drivers.[/QUOTE]

Honestly I'm not sure what drivers I have I downloaded the ones it said to download and used super one click and rooted just fine installed revotools and uploaded decrap and battery and screenlock mods just fine...only thing I can think of now is when I.plug my phone into USB I always get 2 prompts one is the right one to use and one isn't both show clockworkmod and then if I switch to other onsite has the backup file in it so I just put everything I'm trying to run on that one and it works perfectly so I guess it isnt a issue just more of wondering why that is...
[LG Revolution] free_spoons:
I just wanted to post that I just installed this on my revo, and it's great! I had a fascinate before this and it's so nice to finally be able to use my search button!

Thanks for all the great work!
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
I'll be switching from my Fascinate here in a day or two as well! I'm gonna miss the Voodoo color interface and that SAMOLED screen, but the sheer size of this screen and 4G will undoubtedly deliver.
[LG Revolution] :
Okay, I was browsing on my phone this morning and noticed it was really fast. Lo and behold, it was rocking 4G. They got it up a day early over here :-) No shutdown or anything, it autoswitched just fine from 3G to 4G.

I am running decrapped 1.1 with the PowerMenuMod (AOSP lockscreen).

So, if anyone needs 4G testing, just let me know. Thanks again for all the work you guys do for us!
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
I agree. Thank cubed for taking the time out to develop this. I know I have fully enjoyed the rom thus far.
[LG Revolution] LowRentTechGuy:
Been using this ROM since day one after rooting and getting CWR on my phone. Waiting for 1.2 or 2.0 whichever is done first.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Much credit to cubed. I'm just curious if he's the only one who will develop for the rev. Also, will there ever be any enhancements to the battery life. I don't like the apps that extend the battery life because they shut services off on me, and I use my phone too much for that.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
i'm looking for ways to save my battery life too. if you get the app LTE switch you can turn on 3g so that saves a lot of battery but better battery life would be better.
[LG Revolution] :
There isn't much else to extend battery life beyond limiting the things that use battery which is what apps like SetCPU do.

You could try DroidWall (a firewall {technically IP Table management}) app that will limit certain apps access to the internet as a possible way but it won't save all that much battery.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
how do i get this rom while keeping netflix?
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Still works for me...
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
Download the rom, flash it, go to the market, download and install netflix.
[LG Revolution] jdleider:
How do i get the spellcheck and autocorrect functionality back?

Other than that this rom is awesome!
[LG Revolution] mjoshpayne:
Yeah, spell check and auto correct no longer work for me as well.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Which keyboard are you using?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Doesn't work for me either, but I've never noticed since I don't use it :)

I think I just forgot to copy over the dictionary files haha

(sent from my overheating keyboard - porting cyanogenmod still!

i've re-written almost all of LG's init scripts today)
[LG Revolution] JohnnyAn:
I know this post was a while ago, but haven't seen another post with a better fix than reinstalling apps (at least for the resizing widgets). The resizing is actually a problem with the adw launcher, not the widgets themselves. When the phone goes into landscape mode it shrinks in size so that they display correctly, but they don't always resize again when the display returns to portrait. This totally threw me because I had it set to always display as portrait. If you uncheck system persist in adw settings under System preferences and set home orientation to auto, when widgets shrink in size, just turn your phone so it goes landscape and turn it back, the widgets should resize themselves. Or if you don't like the desktop able to go landscape like me, if they shrink check then uncheck Auto Stretch under Screen Preferences.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
On all my other androids, the custom roms had much better battery life than the way they came out of the box. Why isn't there much else that can be done with this one if it was done on others. I know there different phones, but wouldn't the same things be possible if they can be worked out.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
You should include the latest swype beta keyboard. not the stock version
[LG Revolution] :
It's still the same principle as my original post "limiting the things that use battery". A lot of custom ROMs limit the crap that is in a stock ROM which is what Cubed has done a lot of.

The other aspect of ROMs is that they might include a kernel that is low voltage or otherwise modified to use less power or provide more computing at the same power level.

I'm sure ALL of those things are being worked on with Revolution and will come out eventually but right now, Cubed and MTM are the two primary developers for the Revo and they can't do everything overnight.
[LG Revolution] mjoshpayne:
I'm using the Android Gingerbread keyboard which was included with the Decrap 1.1 ROM
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
Bricked Phone

Hi total newbie to smartphones let alone custom ROMS. I happened on your thread searching for a fix.

In an INNOCENT effort to remove bloatware off LG Rev with Titanium I managed to remove some required files and my phone started throwing process.com.android.phone errors and I lost 3G/Phone call capabilities. I believe it started happening when I removed voice dialer?

In my infinite wisdom I decided to put it to factory default and thought maybe it'll get me back to where I need to be...uh no.

Now I'm stuck in limbo as the phone is trying to register but can't because I have no 3G/Phone capabilities. That's when I thought perhaps a custom ROM might work.

Am I wasting my time since it won't boot fully or can I use clockworkmod with the custom ROM to get it backup and working again? If I can is there a special rev of clockworkmod to be used?

Perhaps there is another method that I don't know about?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Power off your phone, take OUT the sim card and boot the phone.

Let it sit for a minute or two, then power it off and put back in the sim card.

Boot the phone back up and it should work just fine...

All this has to do with LG's failure to properly store modem data in /persist, instead it ends up in /data which is wiped by clockwork.

Let me know if this works for you, if not, there's another way-- it's just not as easy.
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
bricked phone

Hi thx for the suggestion, unfortunately that didnt work. Getting same error without sim on boot. The process com.android.phone stopped unexpectely. It sits there at choose language. Waited 5 mins powered off, put sim back in, booted up and same thing. Im scared to hear what's next. Thanks.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ah, okay, well sounds like then you just need to reload this rom.

Just follow the instructions in the first post again, it'll restore the ROM to your phone and get all the functions working again as intended.
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
bricked phone

Are u referring to downloading the rom

Extracting to clockwork\backup

And booting into clockwork etc?

If so i read on your other post and assume i need to use adb to get clockwork on the phone first?

Sorry if the questions seem rudimentary but as stated im a complete newbie. Ive never used adb or clockwork before.

Any guidance no matter how small is of great help thanks.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
soooo, lemme make sure I'm fully understanding the situation:

your phone is rooted, but you don't have clockwork (used revotoolkit?) installed, and you don't have my ROM installed either?

If you don't have clockwork installed, check out my revotoolkit post, then come back here and read the first post. This'll fix your problem :)
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
bricked phone

Yes that is exactly correct. I guess im jumping into the deep end of the pool. Wish me luck and thanks.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
You're welcome! Good luck!

Just remember, if you're having an issue with a certain product (revotoolkit, clockwork, or my ROM) make sure to post in the proper thread that way if someone else is having the same issue as you they can be helped too.
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
bricked phone

I just read your revotoolkit post and it indicated,as i understand it, i can either

1. Download the app and install

Icant do that because my phone doesnt boot up into os

2.copy the . Apk file onto the sd card and browse to it with a file manager from the phone.

Again i cant do that because the phone doesnt boot all the way.

I will be so glad when i get this phone up and running with the custom rom. Curse the bloatware and curse me for me putting it into factory reset so soon!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Okay, since you can't boot the phone all the way, you're gonna have to learn to use ADB. Check my "ClockworkMod for the Revolution 4G" thread, the first post will have all you need.

The only thing I can forsee might be a potential big problem is that you may have not had adb debugging turned on, which would mean we have to skip to the big guns, and the process for the "big guns" isn't public-- as it involves using LG's proprietary tools to restore the phone.

See if you can get ADB access, and try manually installing ClockworkMod (not the revotoolkit thread), if not, PM me and we'll figure out a time I can help you tomorrow (today?) over IRC.
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
bricked phone

Gulp! Here we go! Thanks ill let you know.
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
dont let ADB scare you with all its mumbo jumbo. just double check every step and you will be fine. I did my first run in with ADB on my viewsonic G-Tab and as long as you follow every step you will be just fine :)
[LG Revolution] xdanoobies:
Well completely wussed out and went the easy route. Being a work phone I decided to go to the local Verizon store and played the no idea how it happened card. It worked and they got me a replacement.

Now I'm as tempted as ever to try the custom ROM but a lil gun shy. As your thread states it should be pretty straight forward if I read thrice and hit enter once. Thanks for your quick responses. It's greatly appreciated. Now let me find that donate button.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Try it again, just remember to read everything :)

In easy steps:

*Root your phone

*Follow the RevoToolkit instructions

*Come back here and follow these instructions

and you'll be good to go! Don't be shy, soon(week or two) we'll have cyanogenmod and you'll have to jump in! :)
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Temporary fix for the auto-correct issues: Download the gingerbread keyboard from the Market. Fixed everything for me.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
You'll love custom roms. They are my favorite thing about android and the reason I will stick with android. The cell phone companies need to quit trying to make custom roms difficult and just make it easier to do recovery to factory if something does go wrong.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Also, the SwiftKey x is nice as well. We it was free on Amazon recently and I grabbed it. Have to say it rocks.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Question. Didn't see a full answer.

I'm new to all of this but I've been having a friend help me out and I was wondering before I flashed this ROM if there was support for Swype keyboard here or if it came default on the ROM even. I have rooted Revo right now and I don't think I could go without my Swype keyboard...
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Swype works for me
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
AWESOME

Just installed this today (few hours ago actually) and it works amazingly. So happy to get my Google searches back. I also installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161936 to get the battery widget and the menu that comes with it. Together they make this phone so much better. Many thanks to both Devs. Only thing I can think of wanting with this is a way to overclock the CPU and a wireless tether app that works like the one I had on my old droid. I currently have barnicle installed and it doesn't work for me.

EDIT: Also I thought about this after posting. My droid had liquid tweaks to control pretty much everything on it CPU speed, lockscreen, color of the notifications, etc. Worked awesome on there.
[LG Revolution] JMink:
Try this....

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Wireless tether for root users. I used it with my Eris and now my Revo. I'm running 2.0.7 and it works great!
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Thanks a lot dude. Also to cubed I got txted by my phone earlier its just junk to me but it might be something. Idk. Figured I would post here for you to see. Thanks for any help.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Cubed do you know when you will be releasing the 1.2 update for this ROM? I understand if this delay is because of CM7 for this phone because I'm stoked for that to release.
