Thanks. I did not see or do that, however, when I tested my build, GPS works correctly and gets a lock nearly instantly indoors.

I do not see a battery drain either (after 3 hours)

Never the less, I will rebuild momentarily.

Edit: Looks like I didn't need to do it after all. I think blarf managed to incorporate it.

Edit2: ninja'ed by blarf ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Actually I did manage to fix that. :D

GPS should work with the stock Qualcomm/LG blobs, and now it'll actually build/install the shim automatically.
[Optimus V Android Development] dwgjr330:
just flashed to BACKside-IHO 8/18 is there something wrong with data connections of VM or something in the rom? one of those weird coincidences...

yes my data is turned on and home only is the cdma roaming mode, no check boxes checked (besides enabled)
[Optimus V Android Development] larrycl:
^^

I also just flashed to a new build (8/20 mrg666) and I also am not getting 3G on VM. I suspect a data outage.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Can someone tell me how to,take the img file from jerrys 0817 build. Make it a lockscreen wallpaper. The one with IHO logo on it,if its ok with jerry.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
It must another outage,I don't have 3g either. I'm on mgr666 0820 also.
[Optimus V Android Development] PancakeShake:
On mrg666's 8/20 rom and I'm wondering where the email app went?
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
Dude read the wiki.

Not to be harsh, but you're like the 5th person to ask and it's documented.

Edit: I also cannot get the official Bing application. Not that I want it though... lol

Also vmucare on twitter says they're having an outage.
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
Check the wiki ( https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary ), under optional files, see what mrg666 has posted. Flash whatever you want in recovery after flashing the ROM. But K9 is a better app for email anyway.
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
I'll definitely be doing that, thanks!

I'm still wondering - blarfiejandro, have you thought about just removing FM radio from the source? The OV doesn't have FM radio and all the build makers are removing the app from each of their builds.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Weird. I'm on mrg666's 8/20 and 3G works just fine for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
Well that explains it. Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] eigenfuzzy:
No Skype?

I just flashed the 8/20 rom, and now Skype says it can't sign in--even over Wifi. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I will admit it was a little flaky with the previous rom (not IHO), but at least it signed it for a while.

this is my first post, so go easy on me ;)

P.S. Thanks to everyone who has ported this to the optimus V and to all of the helpful members of the forum. Outside of this issue, I have found this rom to be much smoother than what I was using before.
[Optimus V Android Development] cornishrefugee:
I had that issue also, I went into settings > applications > manage applications > skype, and then cleared data and cache.

Logged back into skype and it's been working since. Hope that helps for you too.
[Optimus V Android Development] eigenfuzzy:
It did; thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Just tried to use Navigation on JerryScripts latest (with the GPS fix) and not only was there no "Navigation" app, Maps couldn't find a GPS signal. I thought that wa fixed?

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I'll be posting a new build later with GPS fixed. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
You're an angel. ;-) Any idea where my Navigation app went?
[Optimus V Android Development] LeslieAnn:
Since someone in the other thread asked about it, here are the RLE files I gave to Jerry and Blarf the other day.

I don't know which Jerry used. I may build a few others before long, I was just messing around on a break when I made these (use them however you want). When building IHO, RLE files are found in android/system/device/lge/thunderc/files. The pics here are png, RLE files are linked.

initlogo2.rle(this needs to be renamed to initlogo.rle)

[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
So this isn't a pissing contest it's a matter of spending time and energy to work around things that Google, Microsoft, Netflix, and other app devs break intentionally. I know a number of people have bought into the mantra that Android is "open", but, really, it's as open as iOS... and sometimes that sucks. But as long as you continue to encourage the behaviour it's going to continue to suck. For now, you can use Amazon marketplace to install Bing if you /need/ to use it. It's not an obscure IHO bug, but the problems with the market have been a combination of:

- Google's Market app sucks. It's buggy, and their copy protection is half-assed resulting in no actual copy protection (just copy the files off of your SD card, you don't even need root... just a card reader and something that runs Linux) but making things more difficult for ROM developers

- Google's Market app still sucks as it tries to restrict some apps by region

- Moron app developers (like ClearChannel) copy protecting *free* apps

- Microsoft tried to lock down their app to work with certain carriers only

If I continue to work around this bad developer behaviour, I merely serve to encourage it. App developer attitudes need to change. If Microsoft wants to have any success on the Android platform (and I doubt they do), they need to stop placing artificial restrictions on it. And hey, Amazon doesn't place those restrictions on Bing. From the looks of it Bing on Amazon hasn't been updated. So I wonder if Amazon has refused to push out the broken update because they don't want to bother with apps locked down to specific carriers.

That said I went back to the original MCC/MNC combo that the VM670 was using (200053). After a few hours (yes, debugging the Google market crap is time consuming and incredibly obnoxious) the Google market picked it up and instead of identifying it as MidTex-Cellular, it identified the phone as being unaffiliated with a carrier. I would be /very/ surprised if Bing is available on all versions of all VMU phones. They are certainly locking it down by carrier and it sure looks like they're not allowing VMU.

I've been meaning to revert the Sprint branded bits since they won't work with Virgin phones, but if MSFT is blocking Sprint, they're likely blocking VMU too. That said there are three areas where I'd expect the market to check the carrier:

- Reported MCC/MNC

- Carrier ID (currently Sprint to gain access to Sprint apps)

- Build fingerprint

I'm not going to go about playing with those willy nilly to enable the installation of an app that MSFT clearly does not want in the hands of mere mortals.

There's a lot of broken built into the Google Market app because Google is trying to appease developers before consumers. If you want things to not break randomly, it's time to put pressure on the app devs that push out broken apps and it's time to put pressure on Google for half-assing the whole marketplace deal.

You're welcome to experiment with your phone, but until MSFT cleans up their act WRT Bing on Android I don't intend to do much.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I left it in my other pants, hopefully it didn't get ruined in the laundry! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Blarf, I think IHO is now a complete ROM with almost all features working and bugs fixed. Is there any chance/development/progress regarding IHO being official part of CM7.1? In case IHO stays an unofficial port, are you planning to adapt CM7.1 when released? Would you share your thoughts on this?

At this point, I am also kindly reminding everyone who are using IHO to consider donating to the project, that little button on the OP. I know that I would be willing to pay extra to VM for such a nice upgrade. Blarf truly deserves your support for this excellent job he has done.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
I thought it was in *my* other pants; how the hell did it get into yours! :-)

Could not having a GPS signal cause the app not to show?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
No, not having a signal doesn't make the navigation app dissapear. Not having a working GPS modules does. I left the build cooking, should be home in an hour or so to post it. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
That makes sense!

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Really? I'm pretty sure I had the nav app icon w/o GPS. In any case not having a gps library will certainly cause GPS to fail. Oops.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
Hey guys,

This isn't particular to IHO, but IHO fixed a bug that exposed it, and I'm curious what it means.

The battery stats say my time without signal is like 65% today (but hey, i got great battery life; 11 hours before I hit 25% and put it back on the charger). I know that's a lie; I had between 2-3 bars all day, every time I looked at the phone. Even in the church basement I might have only had 1 bar but I was only there for around 90 minutes, a far cry from 65% of my day today, so I'm cornfused.

Is that percentage just for this one battery charge? The life of the phone? Since I last did a clean wipe? If it's the last one, a relatively high percentage is possible because at my office where I spend 45-50 hours a week (counting travel + lunch times), I only get a signal outdoors; nothing indoors at all. That's still a very high percentage, but it's not huge.

So where does that percent come from? I remember on Virgin stock ROMs there's a bug where it says 50% all the time, so like I said, IHO fixed that bug. Now i just need to know what it means. :D

Thanks in advance!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
New build is up on the wiki and the front page of this thread, BACKside-IHO-VM670-08202011
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
Flashed with wiping only cache and delvik started and running great. Fantastic work guys
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Sounds like you might need to go into recovery and wipe battery stats.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
On each build I tried without working GPS, the Navigation icon wasn't present in the app drawer. Once I flashed a build with working GPS, the Navigation icon was back in the app drawer, without installing anything. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] P-Men:
I have mrg666's latest build (08-20-2011) installed and I can't shut down my phone correctly when it's charging. If I use the "Power Off" option, it restarts instead of staying off. On the other hand, if I plug the charger when the phone is already off, it triggers a boot and the force turns on automatically.

Don't know if this is a general bug or if it's only present in mrg666's build. Thought you oughta know.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Yay! But it's got yesterdays date. Should it be dated 08212011? Or am I geeking out to excess? (Or do I not understand how the date gets applied--maybe it has nothing to do with the day it's actually built?)
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
I've read that's a bad idea, but aside from "battery calibration does no good" I never heard why. As long as I'm not going to get worse battery life, I can do that, though. My battery life is good and I just don't want to harm it.

That's just how CM7 works. Not particular to IHO or any IHO-based ROM. Definitely a pain when I'm trying to shut down so I can yank the SD card and put another ROM on it when I'm in my office (I have micro SD reader but no USB cable, so I'm relying on the reader)

edit: maybe it's CWM? link
[Optimus V Android Development] scgdavis:
I did a search and I can't find it. I downloaded it earlier though... can someone point us to the post? Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
That's part of either CM7 or Gingerbread on the OV, nothing we can do about it at this time.

Yeah, it's the date of the build itself. I started the build last nite, tested it in the morning, started the upload to mediafire before leaving for work, and then posted the links when I got home. Look under settings>>about phone>>build number = GRJ90 (08202011/VM670) ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] scgdavis:
Where is the live wallpaper for the previous build?

I did a search and I can't find it. I downloaded it earlier though... can someone point us to the post? Thanks !
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
BACKside-IHO hit a milestone today, over 5000 downloads of all builds to date, and over 1000 downloads of the 0810 build alone! Put this together with the other IHO builds, and it's easy to assume there are at least 2000+ users with awesome phones thanks to Blarf and his IHO repository!

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK BLARF!

Now it's time for some of you to consider donating a couple of bucks to keep hope alive! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I bet thats almost as many as "yournamehererom" lol speaking of that, I can get all of the files (I think) to repo, but it wont make the zip its self for some reason. I want to get this crap going again so I can contribute, blarf even put my name on the op. Now I feel prove my worthiness.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
When I have issues building from IHO, I delete the entire source tree from my computer and do a fresh repo init/sync.

Be sure you go into the directory you init repo in and press cntrl+h to view the .repo folder. Delete it, re-run repo init -u git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git -b gingerbread and then repo sync again for a clean build environment.

Downloads can be borked, and a single file from the repo not downloading properly can bork the entire build process.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ventrue05:
i'll donate once you fix the headphones and sound to low bug. its the only reason i'm not useing this rom :(. sucks big time.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:


I tried it twice yesterday and once this morning, tonight I will try one more fresh repo sync, before I throw my computer out the window. If my pc breaks my wife would have to let me buy a new one...right?
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Let me clear a few things up this week,and I will donate. My son starts school tomrrow.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I don't know what got tweaked on the 8/20 backside build, but my phone is even more smooth and responsive, nice work gentlemen!
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
I was impressed with the number of downloads from my pure build as well. Posted slightly more then 24 hours ago, It's already at 170 downloads. 40 of which came within the first 2 hours. :eek:

Slowly but surely I've also been perfecting my own custom build (aka, non-pure) and with download numbers like this, I might end up going public with it once I polish it up some more.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I do also want to say I will donate to blarf when my funds get a little better, I know you hear that alot, but times are tight right now, once back to school, my wedding anniversary and my boys 7th birthday are over I will donate a six pack of your choice, what is your favorite beer? I'm currently drinking Pabst.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Polish it and go public...i will flash it :) i love checking out new ROMS
[Optimus V Android Development] ejlmd:
mrg666, your 8/20 build is superb: slim, fast, and stable.

I no longer see it on the wiki page. Is that because a later build is being uploaded?
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
@JerryScript Flashed latest; both GPS is functional and my Navigation app has reappeared.

Bless you!

[Optimus V Android Development] PancakeShake:
Where did mrg666's build go?
[Optimus V Android Development] 1cewolf:
Based on the page's edit history, it looks like he deleted it about 3 hours ago. I hope that means he's working on a new build.

I've had instant connect in Linux with v49 & v53....... I'll try win 7 w/ v53

EDIT:

3x Successful USB mass Storage connections & file transfers in Windows 7 using kernel v53

. (1st, 2nd, & 3rd mount & dismount no issues or hang-ups)

I can confirm That USB File Transfer is working in Win7 & Linux w/ v53
[Optimus V Android Development] mellowgellow:
thanks a lot! this borked my phone. I've loaded tons of roms on other phones. I know what i'm doing. I had no problems with rodimus. I had the CM recovery and I loaded this rom and gapps. when I booted up, everything was fine for a min. then my screen turned into colored noise. after I pulled the battery, it wouldn't turn on again. not even to the lg logo. nothing! I don't even overclock or anything because my phone locks any higher than 600. the only thing my phone had on it was the rom. you guys should test more before you release to public. I'm out of phone until virgin sends me another one.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Btw, I'm digging this ROM. Blarfie/Alex/jerryscript- love it
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
if you read the OP this

is

still in testing......and....

I believe it might have been your phone and not the ROM (especially if it had overclock problems, it could have been on its last legs), not too sure how replacing the files in /system partition with new files could loose everything including your recovery. If you read all the posts about the users (including myself) that have tested several versions of this ROM with no really serious issues like "perma-brick" in fact i havent even read about a "semi-brick" or "bootloops" in this thread.

Sometimes i'm wrong though so i might be wrong again.......
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
hmm i still cant get it to work. Ill try a fresh install and see if that helps. Other than that the rom is working great. Definitely the best cm7 rom for this phone so far.

edit: fresh install seemed to fix the usb problem for now. Hopefully it will continue to work.

lol, I agree with the above poster. I doubt this rom was the reason your phone died. I would contact virgin mobile and try to get a warranty replacement. If they wont take it then I suggest selling the phone for parts on ebay and upgrade to the Motorola triumph.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Persists in v53.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by partition map

I have an 8GB sdcard

partition 1 is fat32 primary 7.5GB

partition 2 is ext2 primary 512MB

This last time I reformatted the card several times to see if it would work, wiped cache, dalvik, boot, system, sd-ext (CWM recovery recognizes it) and installed 0722 build (kernel v53) and it didn't recognize.

adb shows ext2 is supported, mount command shows it isn't mounted.

I'm not sure how I'd capture a log of the boot process

nevermind... adb logcat > logcat.txt

# tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

also, it looks like it mounts after I issue command

put in an issue ticket on github since I've got enough info now
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Sorry to hear about your phone trouble. If your phone had problems going over 600, you can be pretty sure it was a phone issue, not the ROM. You have a hardware problem, not a ROM issue. I hope you get a new one from VM quick!
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
My phone has been really happy with the newest build! :) Have a good weekend IHO DEV team!
[Optimus V Android Development] yogi-4:
Mine has too!! Still testing and going through things. Haven't found any problems as of yet. Just got my new 4 gig level 4 sd card and going to install it and partition it. Never done that before so it should be interesting. I agree, DEV team relax and enjoy the weekend. You definately earned it!! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Ive been on the newest build 07222011,and i have had great battery life. This is better than aosp,no bugs so far. Good Rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I would... but... my friend just bought a Triumph. Oh ****.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Dont you mean side grade :P

Not me I hope VM says pay for a new one.

I have a sneaky suspension he did something and is trying to find a scape goat.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Odd bug only seen after having run v53 system for 18+ hrs while having data2ext enabled. When i plug in USB of any kind AC or PC (win7 & linux) it seems to freeze and make the notification bar disappear and then system get kind of unstable. This could be because of corrupted partition tables because i was messing with my SD card in linux, but don't know for sure. Thought i would report it to be safe.

i'm gonna do some restore work on phone and get it fixed anyway but thought somebody might want to see the logcat:http://pastebin.com/5reFLVwK
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Please include dmesg output too (adb shell dmesg).
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
here ya go http://pastebin.com/uxifnNFS

Added a pre-closed issue on git-hub (not sure if it's a real bug yet....)
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
How do you enable data2etc? Or is already enable on version 52
[Optimus V Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
First off, excellent rom!!! The battery life alone is enough to make me stay away from the aosp builds...

No problems as of yet...
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Please explain how upgrading to the triumph is a side grade?
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
wiped all partitions and reflashed & restored /data and /sd-ext from earlier and seems like notification problem is gone again and usb is working normally. odd.....
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
Maybe this can shed some light on the charging issue that's been reported:

I'm running Jerry's 7/22 build, kernel #53. My phone charges correctly when plugged into a wall or into the high-power USB port on my MacBook, using both OEM and non-OEM chargers/cables. However--and this part may just be my imagination--it seems to charge more slowly than I'm used to.

When plugged into a non-high-power USB port, though, the battery level continues to drop, despite the fact that my phone recognizes that it's plugged in and claims to be charging. The same happens when I use my car charger, which has worked well up to this point but is now useless to me. I have tried both of these both with the USB cable that came with my phone and with a non-OEM cable; same result.

If I had to guess, I would say that unlike with other ROMs I've run, the phone is using more power than low-voltage power sources can provide. But I suppose I could be wrong on that.

Blarf, I'll gladly file a proper bug report on github if you think that's appropriate. Just let me know.
[Optimus V Android Development] PancakeShake:
Except all the optional files are gone! :(
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I have a minor bug that I don't know if its rom or hardware related, maybe someone else is encountering it also. When I am typing alot sometimes the hepatic feedback will stop working for a few seconds, it gets weak and then a few keys later it goes out comlpetely, Its happened since the 8/10 backside update. And I am using stock gb keyboard, I would try to do a logcat but it happens very seldom, so it would be hard to reproduce. Thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
My god people. Drop the entire Bing arguments. It has nothing to do with blarf, has nothing to do with IHO.

How do I know? Here, take a look at the market for a stock unrooted VM Intercept.

Now how could this possibly be blarf's doing if the phone is stock, not rooted, and also not even an Optimus?

From this point on, this should be discussed outside the IHO thread.
