Now you just made me laugh :-)!!!

First of all - I never said I use AUTOKILL on ATK (you are just assuming I do, 'cos someone else using ATK does). Well - I DON'T, because I DO UNDERSTAND how Linux works in general and how it manages ram. But there IS a problem with GB on G2X, it refuses to shut down programs until you run out of ram. Example - open the browser and do some surfing. Hit Home. Check your free ram. Do some other stuff (ram heavy). Keep on working for like 30min (open all kinds of programs). Check your ram again. It becomes less less and less until your phone becomes slower and your a2dp starts stuttering and screens change way slower & etc. But if you check your browser (that you supposedly sent to background 30mins ago) it will be still working and taking all the ram it took while running in foreground.

What I'm saying is: I use ATK as a utility to QUICKLY access and basically force close programs that I just stopped using and NO they DO NOT just reopen by themselves (unless i trigger some of them by turning on or off my 4g or wifi). So YES, ATK DOES SAVE MY BATTERY and it makes my phone faster whenever I need it. I get a whole day on one charge (EB 2.3.3 + faux's 0.1.3 UV) using GPS, internet (heavily) and a2dp (8-10 hours a day) and I still have 15-20% at the end of the day.

Peace.

Btw I have ATK set to autokill at the "safe" & security set to "High", which makes it not kill apps stupidly but with a Linux frame of mind.

multiple wipes, still can't install maps due to "insufficient space". i have gigs of free space, any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Gosh... was a long reading but a really productive one! =P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] starsie:
Read that long explanation. Honestly - nothing I don't agree with. You are 100% right. The thing is, if you read my post carefully, you will notice 2 main things:

1. I DO NOT USE Advanced Task Killer as an App Killer/Auto Killer (since I know it's useless), I just use it as a QUICK ACCESS to force close programs.

2. As I said before - I'm experiencing this only with G2X. My single core HTC Desire with GB has no such issues at all, even though it's a way weaker device.

And third: I'be been a computer tech for past 16 years, owner of a PC repair company and a custom gaming PC store afs-pc.com I certainly hope I know basics of memory management ;-)!

Peace!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
not sure about all the tech talk but I think you guys have gone over board with this. Maybe its cuz of an app you have or something because my phone rocks and I dont kill nothing. Ram is fine.

Next thing you know we are gonna be crying cuz we want 10 gb of ram! haha!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Thank you sooo much for taking the time to write all that :)

since we have less than 512 ram on this phone that basicly means the phone will be using more swap & more swap means more lag because its slower than ram & also more battery drain :(

I shoulda got a Samsung Galaxy S II (I GB RAM).

I want to ask u a question since u r knowledgable in the matter... Ive asked this before but how come when browsing heavy web pages like porn galleries for example the Iphone 4 can fly through pages upon pages on 3G & fast, but Android (or its browser) are so slow on these kind of pages? my LG takes forever opening the same pages iphone 4 burns through. Iphone is based onunix just like Android so whats the problem? what did Apple do right for memory management ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
That post wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, I just figured I'd get the facts out. Too easy to spread mis-information, even if it's unintentional. (I'm a network/pc tech myself. Hence why I always sound so stressed out when I post on here, dealing with problems for a living wears you down after decades of doing it, so I know you understand better than most :) )

Oh, and also, only time I get the lag you're describing is when I used any 2.3.3 OTA based rom. Problem is on LG, as usual. Thankfully the devs here are kind enough to tweak it to get it to usable levels. 2.2 based, cm7 base, even miui I get no lag whatsoever. And now that cm7 has working a2dp, I'm in heaven!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
So, umm, what do you guys think about ATK?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiazn:
Great article on this very subject(RAM) from Android central on Sept 25th.

http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

just pointing to it, not getting involved :)

:D;):p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
I would recommender Juice Defender. I stopped using ATK a long time ago. On days when I know i'm gonna be out all day I will turn on juice defender and still have half a battery by the end of the day. Instead of killing apps that will just restart, it manages drain killing processes like wifi, gps, etc and will block apps from using then without you having to turn it off altogether. Highly customizable with location and time based control of things too.

I also do use Watchdog Task Manager, but not to kill apps. It will warn you of specific apps using alot of CPU and limit usage for them. When I notice a specific app getting flagged repeatedly, then I know to just uninstall those apps altogether.

i want to say does having flash on our phone have anything to do with it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
I've actually turned off plugins from browser settings so that can't be it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
ROM has been perfect for the last week, but sadly I have to go back to stock OTA. Video on the recent Skype update doesn't work w/ Eaglesblood for some reason. I tried it with 3 different versions of LGcamera, none worked. Flashed to OTA and it all works great. So I'll certainly be missing the great battery life, but I usually carry two spares.

If you might have any ideas why it doesn't work that would be great though!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pottyvick:
Havs you tried to flash just the stock camera zip?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] starsie:
Where is that "stock camera zip" exactly? I can't seem to find it. Can you post please.

I've been using this ROM for a few days now and within the last couple of days I've been experiencing the random screen wake unresponsiveness. Today I lost my APNs twice, I had to hard reboot my phone. I have not installed or flashed anything new on my phone. Has anybody had the same issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
I've tried it w/ stock camera, versions 1, 2, and 3. Started with a backup and restored to that after swapping each version. I also tried flashing the stock kernel. Still no luck. Something else within Eaglesblood causing problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i just installed redginger theme. all works, but whenever you press the menu button, force close. so useless. for now.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psionicsin:
FLashed this ROM, but now can't access my SD card. When I mount the phone via USB it's there, but the gallery doesn't register it. Nor does any other media app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
You holding it wrong lol.

You're the only having this issue wipe and flash it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
just do it lol. stop reading about "some have had issues". you know what? i honestly look at peoples post count when they report problems. and it seems like people with 121 or less posts have the most issues. i kinda judge the way i do with ebay ratings. you do need the stock recovery. i tried several times with cwm and couldn't succeed until i went to stock. i also had to install xp to a partition to make it work from there. win7 x64 refused to run the entire update. but....a few have had success with win 7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i'll edit my post above to people with 121 posts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psionicsin:
122. There you go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Lol. Ahhhh, something to go by!

By the way I just tried it without stock recovery cuz I hadn't read your post yet and it didn't work!

so stock it is!

Thanks!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Docavelli:
Not to confuse but for the record I used the LG updater w/ cwm on win7 64. Only problem I had was I didn't have up to date drivers. Other than that smooth sailing.

There's only one stock LG gingerbread camera. Use the link above to get it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
Yes, that's version 1.0. I tried it, failed. Then went up to 2.3.3, then 3.0. I finally got it working yesterday by going back to a fresh EB 1.09 install and copying Camera.apk (1.0) along with all the lib-camera files from the Stock GB release. Phones is back on point w/ EB, all is good.

ALSO TO THE O.P. - I would recommend upgrading Superuser on the current release. When I do a fresh install I get alot of problems with that. If I do a fresh install, open Superuser first and update it, all works just fine.

Car home not comptibile

After I installed this rom, I am no longer able to download Car Home from Google. Says my device is not compatible. Is this normal? I would like to get car home. Can I just side load it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kuhla:
Strange issue: Settings > Voice input & output > There is voice output but no voice input ("Voice recognizer settings"). My other G2x, running a different ROM, has voice input and voice output. Apps like google translate will not allow to speak words to translate but for example voice recorder seems to work fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] starsie:
That is true and strange. Just tried installing Google translate and it truly does not give you the option to talk. And there is no option for "voice Input" in phone settings, but not only voice recorder works, even Voice Dial works flawlessly! Gotta dig deeper into it, cos translate works just fine on my Desire. I installed Pico engine on G2X (same that Desire uses), but it only activated the "output" part of it in settings... hmm...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] starsie:
Which Car Home from Google are you talking about? I see many of em in market, but i don't see any Car Home from Google...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Does anyone know if you can dial 2945#*999# with your phone dialer to input the unlock code with this rom ? Im on CM 7 and I can't (I heard that you have to be on a stock rom to do this). Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
I'd suggest you just use a sim card from a different provider. It's worked for me on other phones with custom ROMs. I still have to try it on my G2x though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Well the thing is when I popped in a non tmobile sim card, nothing popped up and there was no signal. They said I need to go back to stock in order to do it. This is a stock rom basically, that's why I was asking. Thanks for your reply though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
nvm the question, it worked for me. Thanks a lot guys :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Izzydroolin:
I have not had the screen wake issue, but the past 2 days my phone has been droppin' APN's like douche bags drop names. Anyone else seen this issue, or have suggestions? I did a full wipe, formatted drives, ran fix permissions, the whole deal. Updated from 1.07
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
I noticed that the screen unresponsiveness happened whenever I pressed and released the power button too fast. Now I press for at least a second and have not experienced unresponsiveness anymore.

Also, I haven't been dropping APNs lately since I did a hard reboot (volume up + power). You might want to give that a shot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Izzydroolin:
Found out the issue was with T mobiles towers in Dallas. All good now!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
I have to say, this is the best ROM I've found so far. Ram management is absolutely fantastic. I was running the stock rooted GB for a while and it would occasionally freeze requiring a battery pool. This doesn't happen on EB GB. Plus, battery life has been fantastic.

Good job!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
Make sure Voice Search is installed. That fixed the issue for me. You can find it on the Market.

Juice Defender still not working

Anybody else having issues with Juice Defender? I tried v1.08 way back and JD did not work for disabling the data connection. Now v1.09 I still get the same issue.

Does the kernel with this ROM have voodoo sounds built in? If not, is voodoo worth it? I know voodoo is awesome on SGS phones, but how is it for the G2x?

Also, is the internal memory the default spot that the phone goes through? Because my phone no longer detects some of my stuff in the external SD card. Such as SmartKeyboard Pro skins, backed up apps through Titanium, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Been using this ROM for awhile now and have had one ongoing problem. After most calls it locks up on, have to pull the battery and restart. I don't get/make calls very often at all so it doesn't bother me too much, but it just happened now while near a computer and able to report it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
Same here, I've been using this ROM for a good while now and not until recently this started happening. At first I thought it was due to some new apps I had installed so I uninstalled them but the problem persists.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xantonin:
Well, it was a good run using this ROM, but I think it's time to move on.

I'm consistently running into a problem with the WiFi. When I turn it on, it waits then just says "Error" next to the check box. Rebooting fixes it but it still happens.

....and now I have the BSOD. Seems certainly related to WiFi (I was attempting to turn it on)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
Battery pulls are cropping up again. Also, is it normal for the app drawer to take a couple seconds to load?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
I haven't had problems with the app drawer but the battery pulls are getting annoying. This ROM has been amazing so far and the fact that the LG camera has been ported is the main reason I'm using it. I think I will be forced to go to EB 2.3.7 and settle for the stock camera since we might not be getting an update on 2.3.3 anytime soon. Still, great job Don!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
I recently have come back to this ROM after various problems with others. It's still my favorite, most stable, most stripped down, least problems.

I'm finding one issue w/ an app though. I can't seem to use WiFi File Explorer (Market Link) ever since loading this ROM. At first I thought it might be my offices network blocking it, but I've now tried it on two other networks and it doesn't load. Before trying it. Any idea what might be messing it up?

Always Back To This ROM

Hello Lord Of ROMs...:D

I'm following you everywhere Sir...;)

Thanks a million again and again for all your awesome ROMs,

Whether CM7 based GB stock based or FR stock based..

Currently i'm using this version 1.0.9...Smooth, FAAAAAAAAST

And good battery life though,

Heard someone talking that 1.0.7 is better in battery life??

What's the main difference in practice(I have read OP and ChangeLOg); but just

asking from the real practice point of view..:cool:

Thanks again....:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
You forgot to mention Cm9 base :p

You got me blushing again lol

To answer your question 1.09 it's better why cause same base as 1.07 with these additional changes:

*Slimmer/Faster 116mb file

*Built.props tweaks

*Lots of framework clean up

almost all of LG files removed

*New launcher 2 built from my cm source

which has lots of my speed tweaks

*Rendering UI with GPU instead of CPU

*Better ram optimization

*EXT4 performance tweak (only works with ext4 kernel)

*SD card Tweaks

*Added New Superuser

*Added New Market

*Clean up more system files

*R/0 unsecured boot image

*Removed Quick Panel Toggles

*Added the latest ported LG camera
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
These basically are mentioned in Change Log. You can just go there and find out.

About battery life, actually it just depends on how you use your phone. Besides that, some others tweaks mentioned in the V6 SuperCharger along with JuiceDefend are extremely helpful, AND with an appropriate ScreenOff profile :)

Love all your work, decided to start using GB 2.3.3 ROMs, haven't tried yours yet... downloaded it and to my shock, and huge disappointment, your script is set to delete all of your internal memory...

This just... sucks doniq. I only use my internal for all of my pictures and backups and you successfully deleted all of that... not cool.

You could at least put a disclaimer stating that you're the only, or very very few people, that makes it auto to delete all of your internal memory.

I love your work and contributions, and I'm not one to complain, but I'm pretty pissed about that. There should have been a warning or something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
You mean internal SD or the data partition?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Hmm :confused: let me ask you this how long ago you bought your G2X ?

The reason i'm asking that it's cause Eaglesblood was the very first rom for g2x that came out the 2nd or 3rd day after g2x was released and you are the very first person to report this.

Listen this rom doesn't have a script to wipe internal memory and while you demand a disclaimer for something that doesn't exist your problem is more likely it came from the last rom you used that had the memory swapped but even so it doesn't make nonsense !!!!

Now sorry that you lost your data but THIS ROM IT'S BASED ON OFFICIAL OTA FOR G2X just like few other roms out there and again no SCRIPT in this rom to wipe your internal memory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I think it's a random problem, it happened to me in the early days of CM7 for this phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
It is possible that it happened on a fluke and its also possible while attempting to wipe system you might have accidently selected internal... I've read that before either was I have huge doubts any Dev would play a cruel joke like that.
