[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
we've had some good discussion at another forum as well, but let me be the first in this forum to say thanks and great job!

i've been running this for a day now and it runs very smooth. the camera is fully functional as well. i've noticed that my battery life has been better than when on AOSP, though i'm not sure if it's ROM related. it's always hard to tell with battery life.

one thing i should mention is that after flashing the ROM, when you go under "About Phone" in settings, it will still say AOSP.
[Optimus V Android Development] keedev:
So far, and IDK if this is really a bug on your end but my Voice dialing button doesn't work.
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
I fixed that with the latest sprint-to-ov swap this morning. You can flash it over what you have now with no adverse effects. The only difference is the build.prop and the key swap is included.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
oh cool. thanks mmarz!
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
That is a bug in the original rom. I updated the Sprint-to-OV file to map that button the to power button until it is fixed in the rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Or (and I know this is a radical idea) you could compile the source for the Optimus V and get working key mappings and the 'aosp' kernel without any additional work.

If you're getting better battery life, it may be due to using Zefie's kernel (which you get when you configure for the OS) vs the 'aosp' kernel (which you get when you build it for the OV).
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
What recovery would you use with this rom. Not sure.
[Optimus V Android Development] symbiiote:
couldnt get it to flash kept giving me a error
[Optimus V Android Development] bleichtman:
Runs very nicely so far. Thank you. I have run into one problem though, I can't send mms
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I used xionia, it worked perfectly
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
What xionia 12518.4 cwma right.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
I use. 6 but. 4 will work as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Thanks,but I got it working this rom is sweettt. Thanks mmarz.
[Optimus V Android Development] flutie98:
Darn, I was perfectly happy running bumblebee waiting for a fully functional aosp GB build.... Now I have to try this.....
[Optimus V Android Development] idbl_fanatic:
Any screenshots?
[Optimus V Android Development] fischju:
How does Bluetooth work on this? I'm trying to find a ROM compatible with Wiimote IME for emulators, Bumblebee is a no-go.
[Optimus V Android Development] rockneo:
Same I didn't go back to bumblebee either

Sent from my Optimus V
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
Let us know how you like the Triumph. I was interested, but heard that the wireless hotspot feature is not working on it.
[Optimus V Android Development] exProphecy:
Quick question, how exactly do I flash one of those quick fixes using Xionia recovery? ie. bloat remover, etc?
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
Flash just like any other zip. It'll remove whatever it's meant to.
[Optimus V Android Development] kill00:
How can I change the status bar to the stock 2.2 white status bar but with a battery number indicator?
[Optimus V Android Development] thephenom696:
i Wonder how the touchscreen bug isnt really fixed on my CM7? Yes, the cpu wont up to 100% usage BUT i still get lag when i touch the phone! Ive also tested with quadrant and while i tap, fps goes down. Also tried underclocking the phone near 200 mhz and it was very noticeably lagging while i would tap! maybe theres a gpu 100% bug too, since there was with the cpu and now with the rom it has HW Acceleration?

Sorry for bad english!
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
Maybe you bought a 150 dollar phone and expected too much from it...
[Optimus V Android Development] =Nexis=:
Sadly some of us have done just that, But its a great phone for someone that just wants to get a smartphone and still have a good experience.

Personally I will be getting one of the new Phones from Virgin Mobile as soon as I can afford it Or maybe I will get an unlocked one and use it on the network.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
So I installed this rom lastnite. There seems to be no lagging,or any other problems. Its alot smoother,and battery life lasts longer.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
Wired headset works through stereo on this rom ...it's a keeper lol
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Yes ,agree.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Has anyone tried the new android market apk. Its very nice. Its on the other forum. By the way this Tom is sweeettt.
[Optimus V Android Development] Butterxbean:
Might have to try this later, it looks promising.
[Optimus V Android Development] KenDroid101:
I've been running this rom all day. Excellent battery life, very smooth with almost no lag at all. I haven't tested Bluetooth but MMS works flawlessly. This may be my new daily driver. (At least untill the triumph comes out and is rooted :-))
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Agreed. I just installed this with the new market and so far its working great.
[Optimus V Android Development] nascar2428:
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a keeper!! For now. At least until Bumblebee GB arrives
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
I'm very happy been running this for 24 hours and no major issues except i had to edit the keylayout file to wake on all of the front buttons instead of just the menu button
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Any chance you can explain how to do that? I want all the buttons to wake it up as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
I screwed up my home and menu doing it, as soon as i get the .kl file fixed ill upload it.

I am using this guide....http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/89699-mod-remap-your-hardware-keys.html
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
I agree, been very happy with this so far. WiFi doesnt seem to disconnect when my phone is locked like aosp. It also seems snappier and I can use the Hotspot without it rebooting the phone.

I also would like to know what's involved in editing this to wake all all buttons.
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?2wgzlj3o61i2pcg

Flash it from your recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] sonicphobia:
Awesome job, Sir!

One question though. My camera auto-focus still is not working right. Its behaving like it was in the aospCMod ROM. Anyone else get it to work?

I suspect when I did the system restore (made from within aospCMod) it may have borked it somehow.

Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
System restore? Like through the recovery? That will overwrite everything.

If you used titanium backup, do not restore any system apps. That will break things.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Here is a modified key layout that makes the non-functional voice dial button into a dialpad button.

Flash in recovery
[Optimus V Android Development] sonicphobia:
Ya, I meant system apps backed up with titanium. I figured that's what did it. I'll fix when I get home. Love the rom so far.
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
That fixed it. I spoke too soon about turning Hotspot on, it did reboot the phone, after reboot it worked.

Other than that, everything is as good if not better than the ROM I was using, great work.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Awesome guys. Thanks for posting the key fixes. This rom is working amazing.

One more quick question, Does anybody know how to remove emergency call from the lockscreen or at least delete the picture that says emergency call?
[Optimus V Android Development] fischju:
Decided to take the dive and answer my own question...and it worked! Wiimote tethering does work with this ROM, unlike Bumblebee and stock. And so many more configurable things...
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
So is this faster than AOSP? That's my main issue with it besides MMS/Headset issues.

I'm on Bumblebee right now because I love the speed (and I found apps to replace a lot of my favorite built in CM7 features.)

So anyways, anyone in my situation want to comment? I'm loving what you guys are posting about this already.

Edit: For speed I guess I more so mean "speed and smoothness" which results in responsiveness. Things happen quickly and smoothly on Bumblebee but apps don't necessarily run better themselves (though some do.)
[Optimus V Android Development] fischju:
I'm seeing a little jutter in scrolling but some settings may just need to be adjusted - Neocore runs faster though, somehow. 49fps on Bumblebee, 55 on this.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ostrich Egg:
Switched from aospCMod to this today and I'm loving it. No issues yet so far.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
I'd say there is less overall lag with this ROM when compared to AOSPmod and i am running data2ext on both with 400MB+ of Apps in my data folder. Even with that many apps potentially being called into memory at anytime when not being used and yet still no real heavy lag anywhere. AOSPmod gave me problems with this configuration as i collected more apps and running Launcherpro would give me occasional system hang issues but no problem in 48hrs with this release.
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
Awesome. I think I'll have to try this on a day off.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
Tried out last night. Was alright, seemed to have more bloat, and didn't care for adw being installed with it. Problem with downloading from market I'm having with aosp is there as well too.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
No ive had no problems with this rom,i have dowloaded from market twice. No issues here,dont like adw either. But the rom seems fine no reboots are anything,one was thing with aosp my live wallpapers would lag and freeze up. This one doesnt. Wifi works good, no probelms staying on.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Its the market not the rom, its been screwy lately, it keeps losing my market links, it did it when I was using reborn too
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
old market just fails to download, new gives error about insufficient space. I have more than enough space though
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Just got my son an upgrade to OV. Now to root and install this on it.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ostrich Egg:
I had been using the rom for about a day and just made an outgoing call for the first time, and when I did I got a flood of about 10 text messages. Just noticed my "time without a signal" was 100% as well.

edit: Aaaaand this one was due to my own stupidity. Apparently before flashing the new rom I had put my phone into EvDo-only mode and never put it back. Oops.
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
i flashed this and my baseband now says "UNKNOWN" ? anyone else
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
All of the gb roms for our phone do that
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
what about not having data network. it says its disconnected but wifi works
[Optimus V Android Development] jasper3407:
Cell Standby - Time w/o a signal - 50%

Do we still need to do the airplane mode trick on the OV to get the time without a signal down on this rom or has that been fixed in this rom?
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
So far so good

I've been using this ROM now for close to 3 days. I came from AOSP CM7 rom, and in my opinion, this one is much better overall.

To me it seems much snappier (word?) and responsive. I used to have an issue with WiFi disconnecting almost every time that the phone locked, forcing me to have to reconnect every time. With this rom I have only seen that happen once, it it may of been from moving out of range.

MMS works, camera works (goggles works fine), speakerphone is plenty loud for me as well. I haven't used bluetooth but have heard that works as well.

It is a little bloated compared to AOSP's version, but the way it works outweighs the negatives.
[Optimus V Android Development] citizeninsane89:
There's an update.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
im installing the update right now. I let you guys know if I run into any problems.
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
So far, so good. Make sure to use the updated Sprint-to-OV.zip
[Optimus V Android Development] fr0zenblood75:
Do we have to wipe everything or just cache and dalvik?
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
People reported problems when they didn't Wipe date/Factory Rest from the recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
I wiped everything before I installed. So far working great for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] SyntaxIO:
Whats changed in newest iteration?

All,

I see that an updated version arrived on the first post today but there is no change log of what changed.

Is that anywhere?

The ROM, Sprint to OV and the Bloatware all have todays date but other than the bloatware zip what changed in the other two?

Thanks for the work.

7/15/11 Change Log:

- Honestly not sure, lol. Looks like blarf did some general cleanup and was working on a couple of audio issues. Other than that this should be synced up to latest CM trees.

[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
The Rom isn't developed by me and it's original dev didn't put out a real change log.

The Sprint to OV, I changed to match the updated Rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Whats the difference between the current and old sprint to ov conversion?
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
The included system apk files. I'm not sure it will matter, but I updated them to match the latest release.

The MMS.apk fixes mms receiving.

The Settings.apk removes factory reset.

The Phone.apk changes the name Sprint to Virgin Mobile in the call Settings menu.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
new version works great for sd-ext /data partition. i just wiped /system installed ZIPs and then reboooted re-installed data2ext in recovery and restored /data and /sd-ext. all that and i was up and running in no time with the new system.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Don't know why, but devs working with CM7 code for the OV don't seem to like to put out a changelog. Blarfie hasn't, and aosp didn't, not sure about ScottP.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
I just flashed this rom to my sons OV,he loves it. Thanks mmarz.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
And if you'd like to do something other than flap your gums, you too could create a changelog. I know you're not actually filing proper bug reports, but I've created a few to keep track of things, and at least two other people have.

As far as non-bug related changes, you could go through the list of commits, and summarize them. Or you could continue to flap your gums and expect to be spoon fed. Your call.
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
Wow, that was completely inappropriate. All Jerry did was state a fact in response to someone else's question. You keep demanding bug reports to be reported but you never say where. I'm pretty sure the best place to report them is ath3nos thread since he is the one developing this rom. When you put out your own rom, you can demand anything you want in your thread, but don't come here and insult the people looking for information.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I definitely didn't mean to offend you. In fact, in all the threads about your work, I have only sung your praises. The only time I have ever disagreed with you is when you troll the aospCMod thread.

In case you haven't read any of my posts in the ath3nos threads in various forums, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON CM7 FOR THE OPTIMUS FAMILY OF PHONES BLARFIEJANDRO!

[Optimus V Android Development] LilVeezy:
there is no android market
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
Follow the directions on the first page for flashing. Step 2 is flashing gapps.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ostrich Egg:
Apologies for going off topic here, but could you provide a little more information on this? I've never used data2ext so perhaps it would be more obvious if I had, but how does one go about backing up and restoring only /data (and /sd-ext)?
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
I have a guestion about the roms,with music player. How do get music form labtop media player to play on the player in the rom. Do you have to sync them or something,from a cd to phone. Any help would be appreciated.
[Optimus V Android Development] rsu:
I can get the bluetooth to work.
[Optimus V Android Development] GhostCow:
just flashed to this and it works great. mms was broken for me in aosp's mod, but works fine in this one. The only issue I'm having is that the android market now thinks that one of the apps I use isn't compatible with my phone. The app doesn't show up in the market when I search for it from my phone, and when I search for it from my computer, the market won't let me download it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to download an apk from the market to my pc?

I am Running the 07/15 build w/ data2ext

Just got a completely pixelated screen and had to do a battery pull right after a reboot (and i mean SCRAMBLED) Seemingly no ill effects after booting up again just very weird.

It looked sorta like this:

EDIT: Still Seems Fine now after boot very weird..........
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
You have to backup everything at once in CMrecovery but you can go to advanced restore and only restore certain partitions.

Here is a link to the data2ext MOD thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902395

Here is the explaination by wiki:

What is data2ext?

The phone's internal memory is divided into several partitions. The 3 key partitions are /system, /data and /cache. The rest we don't need to worry about too much. /system is where the ROM lives. By default it's read only (regardless of S-ON or S-OFF). All the data on our phone (apps, app data, game progress and a few other bits and bobs) is stored on /data. We have a pitiful amount of storage on /data (about 190MB), so we quickly run out when installing apps. One solution is to move /data/app (this is where most of the apps are stored) to a partition on your SD card (formatted to ext). But the internal memory still fills up, as anything not in /data/app stays in internal memory (caches, data and shizz). Other solutions have arisen, like moving dalvik-cache to the ext partition as well. But with the advent of fast SD cards it has become possible to move the whole data partition to the ext partition. This means that the internal memory is barely used (aside from a few bits here and there, they're symlinked back to their original location). Another nice side effect is that the SD card can actually be faster than the internal memory, hence the insane benchmarks.
[Optimus V Android Development] GhostCow:
Ok, not being able to download this app is driving me nuts. I think when I first installed this rom, I found a setting somewhere that would let me spoof my phone and have it show up as a different phone. This would probably fix my issue, but I've been looking around in the settings for over an hour and I can't find it again. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

At the least, if anyone has the apk for the app called "Mobile banking for android" by Firethorn Holdings, could you please upload it somewhere for me? Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Where do you think ath3nos is pulling changes from? If you want the problems fixed, file a bug report. It's been mentioned plenty of times in the original dev thread that github is the place. If you don't want the bugs fixed, don't file a bug report. It's really that simple.

I've been lucky to have my physical health, but I know ath3nos has not. We've both been busy with things other than Android development, and I'm sure with all of the **** he's got going on and trying to create a slimmed down ROM based on the changes I've hacked upon he didn't feel a changelog was terribly important. What's been fixed has been documented pretty well so far with Github's issue tracker.
[Optimus V Android Development] GhostCow:
I'm a new user and can't send or respond to PMs yet, so I wanted to post here to thank mmarz who sent me the apk for my banking application. Thanks!

Big thanks to mmarz for this great ROM that i have been running for the last few days. A refreshing change from the other cm7 options for the optimus V. Props. (amongst other things wicked battery life, no more "leaking battery" drain!) :)

Also i was able to use the voice dial button on the side by simply remapping the key assigned to "VOICE" to "CALL" and love the quick access to the dialpad my only question is; why does

bluetooth

voice dial come up on a long press of side button when assigned to "CALL" instead of the regular voice dial?

ThX.

I would like to thank the developer for this port for my friends phone its good port and actually getting maintained other roms so old in this phones android development. Thank you sir cm is my rom and I personally own Samsung nexus s 4g and a HTC evo 4g and test for both
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:

Was using previous version, this one is just as great (not sure of changes).

Edit: Resolved my 1 issue, not caused by ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
been using aosp since I got the phone last month, flashed this today for a change....amazing ROM so far, MUCH faster than aosp, and EVERY feature works so far....
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
I think there is something wrong with the regular voice search/calling feature all together. That is why "VOICE" doesn't work as a button in this build. I have not once been able to use the feature in other roms. Dialing is not something you want to leave up to voice recognition.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
So is this one actually that much better than AOSP? the lack of updates from AOSP have really disappointed me recently and to have ALL features working again would be amazing, guess ill go ahead and give it a try, can't do no harm!

*edit, it's all installed and currently filling back up my apps. loving it so far just messing with menus and wutnot hopefully battery life is better because AOSP was terrible at that for me

*edit2 just noticed that some apps won't install now (not talking about i hit install and nothing happens)

Some apps such as G4, Portal Soundboard, and Portal 2 soundboard (both by stealthcopter) will say that my phone is not compatible when it clearly was before
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
Are you re-downloading the apps? What's your method for restoring them? I had absolutely no issues with that via Titanium Backup.

Also yes, the battery life is much improved as is the speed.
