Edit-- Initial feedback after this warning shows it's an isolated problem with my phone, which is reasonable with all the flashing, tweaking, and testing. Please test your camera to be sure!

Warning!!!--- If you are running the 1221 build of BACKside, please test your camera now. I'm having trouble with mine not responding. I don't have time to troubleshoot before Xmas, and I know many people will be wanting to take pics/vids with their phones.

Please revert to the 1216 build if you have any issues with the camera, I don't want to be responsible for missed memories.

Hopefully it's just an isolated problem with my phone, no one else has reported issues with the camera on 1221 yet. I just want to be proactive and try to keep anyone from having an unpleasant xmas experience. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
I'm on the 12/21/2011 build and I just took about 7 or 8 pics and they were fine, no lock-ups or anything.

Ill keep testing to make sure.

No camera issues here. Tried with both, ROM's camera and Vignette with no issues :)
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
I'm taking pics just fine as well :)
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
i can take pictures fine, just can't mms them
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Have you tried clearing all MMS data/cache and then booting into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot and try sending an MMS?

After doing a complete wipe/flash/restore, my camera works fine, and I sent an image of some great xmas goodies to my sister, so I know MMS works fine.

(her response to the photo was, "The kids are at a party, so I want 4, 3 for me, and 1 for my husband." ;) )
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I too, just had this happen. For a workaround, download Notification Restart, free on the market. Restart the notification bar, and you can clear them.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
Ever time I upgrade the rim I do a complete wipe and completely fresh install. I haven't been able to mms for a few builds now.

Side note: the notification pulldown big disappeared for me, at least for now.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing here, a full wipe/format is:

-reboot into recovery

-wipe cache

-under advanced wipe dalvik cache

-under mounts format cache, data, system, and boot

-flash new ROM zip file

-flash gapps zip file

-reboot

If you still don't have MMS after that, then you either don't have 3G/data enabled, or your phone has not been provisioned appropriately and you'll have to re-activate with VM.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
only thing there i skip is the wipe cache, since i just format it anyways. i should have 3g, the logo for it in status bar is there anyways.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
For an mms workaround you can download gosms app and manually enter apn settings. You'll have to google what the actual settings are. My mms was broken for a very long time but was magically fixed when i started using bozhome new roms. So i got rid of gosms

Hey Jerry and Blarfie

Any chance to ever have support for Google+ Hangouts?

I know the requirements are Android 2.3 and front facing camera

But anyway to trick it into thinking our rear facing camera is a front facing one?

A mirror would do the trick B-)

The problem is the program knowing it's a rear camera and saying

"Hangout is not supported on this device"

[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
What's different about that rom from this one?
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
From what I can see it is a build off of BACKside. Seems to run really nicely.

Sent via LG VM670 IHO
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
No, LeslieAnn's is a completely new version of Harmonia built from IHO, not from BACKside. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but knowing LeslieAnn, it will be lean, clean, and give you as much juice to spare as possible. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
I was fooled by the "About Phone" statistics. Led me to believe it was a MiRaGe/BACKside hybrid. See previous post of mine for screenshot.

Either way, everything seems to work at 100%. No flaws as of yet. Haven't seen a build from LeslieAnn in months.

Nice One.

Here is a flashable zip file that adds the T9 Contacts. There is not much change in the CM repo that is worth building another CM7 ROM since the last release other than disabling the boot animation option in the performance settings. Thekraven has come up with two interesting fixes. I want to include them in the next build but today's builds showed that they need some more work. So, I preferred releasing this little update from the build instead of a complete ROM.

Unable to change volume in call

I can't seem to change the volume of the other person while in a call. They sound very loud, and when using the volume rockers, the volume indicator doesn't move up or down. The volume indicates it is almost at the lowest level.

I have the similar issue when using bluetooth.

This started happening a few weeks ago, and I believe it is when I started using this ROM.

Has anyone else had problems with call volume being stuck recently? I did a search and found this bug, or a similar one, showed up half a year ago in the CM repositories. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14943440#post14943440
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Another strange issue... on the latest mirage, I cannot update any apps even after clearing cache.
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
Try clearing data for the market, or link/clean up dalvik cache with link2sd.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
This seems to have resurfaced. Or it never went away and no one paid attention. I'm on BACKside with the same issue. You have to turn volume all the way up, then you can turn it down. It won't change the volume when you turn it up, but after you get it to max it'll start acting normal.

Flashing BACKside (better than that sounds)

After much procrastination and stalling about, I have downloaded and flashed BACKside IHO per the instructions provided (many thanks, JerryScript!).

I read everything possible, checked my phone carefully to be sure of screen type, current recovery, etc. I then used the (great) instructions as a checklist and went through them one step at a time. I am currently downloading Ti backup so I can restore all my user apps (not system apps). So far, it is working great, but downloading Ti sure takes a long time! I will repost when everything is restored. For now, I am one happy camper. All persons have done an extraordinary job making this easy enough for relative noobs like myself. Much appreciation due.

[edit - progress made]:D

Wow! The last time I went through this, I had to start over from scratch. Almost all my apps were there! I guess Market remembered all the stuff I had downloaded, and proceeded to put them back. Updating 40-some apps. I like the new lock thingy. Looks cool.

Another edit: Several days later... This is one excellent ROM and theme! Everything I have tried works, camera, wifi, all my apps (I am having Swype Beta problems, not due to the ROM as I was having those before). I did have to restore each app individually, a Titanium Backup issue, not BACKside. It even seems to have solved one of the issues I was having with the ICS Launcher hiding my apps behind the header.

Many thanks to JerryScript and all the people who have been helping out on this. Well worth all the trouble you have gone through.

I'd have to assume that your SD is in fact going south, BUT, don't panic, that may not be the case... possibly an issue that is overcomable.

[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Exactly what I was thinking... got a good deal on a new sd, though, so I'm just going that route. Another broad question for the community, though: why use links2sd if one can just move the program to sd via the Manage Applications screen?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
with link2sd, you can also link all the data/dalvik cache, giving you almost unlimited space.

the biggest kicker for me is that all the apps linked to the sd-ext partition can be used as widgets, which is something you can't do when moving apps using Manage Applications screen.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Thanks for explaining this... I didn't get that from the link2sd info.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I had a bad experience with links2sd so i don't use it anymore. I linked a few things that i guess i shouldn't have and my phone went crazy. I think it was my launcher and/or glassmix theme. My phone didn't like that.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
hmm...that's interesting. i have my launchers and cm7 themes linked with no issues.

Market Space Errors / Invalid Package

so i've been fighting this for a few days and when i think i get somewhere i hit this error again. I"ve Tired a few different Roms and still get stuck. currently i have about 130mb free of internal mem, and i can't update or download things from the market. i've been getting invalid package errors, insufficient space errors, i've switched from IHO to Harmonia as a test. things worked ok for a bit but the issue seems to have resurfaced. I"ve tried a full wipe, reformatted SD, switched ROMS, tried marketfix, tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery, no change, have used root explorer and investigated /cache/downloads and it's empty..... stumped, Help! I really liked IHO up until my phone has decided it doesn't like market anymore. really looking to get back on, Harmonia is nice, but not what i'm used to. Switching to Harmonia fixed it for all of 10 min then hit errors, resorted to manually loading APK's ( the one's it let me) currently trying to update GO Launcher EX, file is about 4 mb i think and have 130 free, tells me not enough free space, put phone through SD maid and apps2sd no dice.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
not a problem. if you decide to give it a try, feel free to PM me if you run into any issues. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
I can't speak for the invalid package errors as I've never had that issue, but for the insufficient space error navigate to system/etc/init.d and find the 01mvdalvik file. Move it somewhere not there (onto your SD card for example, doesn't matter where), reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, and no more insufficient space. If it hangs on the reboot just pull the battery and try again. It probably did that to me cause I moved mine to the sd-ext partition.

First thing i did with my new op V after first one broke

Installed Link2SD and put everything besides essential apps to auto link to my 1gig ext4 partition

There's also an app on the market called market fix that'll fix your insufficient space issues.

I used market fix and it worked once for a short time but after that it was a dud.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
If you have link2sd use it to link your delvik and lib files, it fixed that problem for me

[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Question:

I'm a data2ext user mostly because I found it to be really awesome and I like it, and I just haven't made the time to delve into the link2sd realm. The thing I don't like, even though it's not that big a deal, is that I have to re-install my apps every time I update a ROM. Or try out another - I just MUST check out the latest whenever something new comes out, so that's my fault, and I can live with it.

Is there a way to install a new image without having to re-install everything? Using data2ext I have messed around with disabling it and not formatting the ext partition but either it's not possible or I'm doing something wrong.

The other question I have is along the same line - if using link2sd can I accomplish the same thing, meaning not having to reinstall my apps? It seems like I remember seeing posts talking about re-linking link2sd apps so I'm just curious.

I'd like to try out BobZHome also based upon the reviews, but I don't know much of anything about Darktremor or link2sd so here I am.

If I had some extra handsets wouldn't that be awesome! Not like computers where I can allocate a VM or just throw something together when I want to test or learn something.

FYI:

JerryScript's:) installed

data2ext4-V4

gapps-gb-20110828-signed (Was this a mistake? Since it was the latest I thought I'd try it out but it's

way

different or I had a bad install....)

I sometimes switch out to mrg666's because I really like it also.

Anyway, I know this isn't a data2ext or link2sd help thread but since this is the IHO thread I hope you'll allow it:D

Later.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
i use data2ext and will get 'low on space' notification even though i have 1.4 gigs of internal memory. so i feel its clear the phone is looking at more than just broad free memory when it calculates its free space
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
If you already have a partition on your SD, download link2sd from the market, set it up, and hit the menu button on your phone and go to more. Then link library files and link delvik cache files. Any questions feel free to pm me

I had to use it about once a week for a little while but now i don't for wgatever reason

I'm having the same issue

Jerry's latest
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
It took me alot of tries, but I did finally reproduce the frozen notification when swiping and lifting my finger.

The recent commit that was supposed to make this swiping to remove feature work better seems to have a bug in it. "Normal" swiping behavior appears to work fine. However, if you lift your finger at a particular point in the swiping action, it can freeze the notification while partially swiped away.

The fact the clear button also stays around may help me track this bug down. If not, I'll revert the commit in a future build, and take it back to the working but wonky swiping we are used to. ;)

For now, you can use Notification Restart from the Market to fix the issue when it arises.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
do you mean 1.4gb after installing data2ext? i've actually only received the "low space" warning once, after updating swype, and a reboot solved it.

i do remember having some issues before when i was trying to figure out .ext partitions. i noticed that when i took my sdcard out and plugged it into a reader on my computer that it didn't show up as an ext4 (using mini tool partition wizard) so i decided it would be better to format my sdcard through windows instead of through recovery as an ext4 partition. well that didn't work out very well for me, either because the sdcard i was using wasn't good or that my optimus just didn't like it. i don't remember if i'm still using the same sdcard but i do know that formatting it through the optimus has worked for me.

[actually just pulled out my sdcard and checked it - showing up as ext2! i'm not going to mess with it because i don't remember/know enough about unix partitions]

Link to the Data2ext CyanogenMOD - i see the mention about ext2, maybe i'm missing some brain cells, but supposedly i'm making it ext4....

here's what i do:

mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

e2fsck -yf /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

data2ext --enable

reboot

yet it still shows up as ext2!!!

---------------------

on another note after checking the data2ext page i might have answered the question i posed a couple of days ago:

from YouArePoop

Not sure if its the right method, but I disable, flash rom, flash data2extra, enable. Works fine, but breaks widgets. Have to remove and re-add.

from jjsan

only problem for me was finding out that data2ext --enable has to be executed after booting the phone so maybe it will be good to write in first post (because mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 can be executed still in recovery mode)

Any suggestions on how to partition a new sdcard?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
I prefer to do it on a PC using Mini Partition Tool program. There are several free programs you can use though.

just make sure you back up everything on your sd card first because you will lose everything when you format the card.

There's also an option to partition the card in recovery, but I prefer using a PC.

Hey guys, i am having some issues with apps- alot of the updates wont install because the phone claims there is insufficient space, or the package file is not valid- are there any ways to fix these areas (i wipe all the appropriate areas before each new build)
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
There are a lot of answers to this in the last couple of pages of posts. Search for something like 'clear market data' or 'clean up/link dalvik cache with link2sd' or just read the latest 25 or 50 posts.

[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
Either ext2 3 or 4
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
The simplest solution is of course to uninstall a few apps. ;)

The next best solution, imho, is to use TitaniumBackup (paid version) to integrate the dalvik into the system partition. If you do this, you must undo it before flashing an update to the ROM, or you will have to reflash gapps.

Some other things that work for some, but not for others:

-- go into system/etc/init.d and remove the 01mvdalvik file, then go into manage applications and select the Market, then clear cache and data, then boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik, then reboot.

-- Try the market fix apps from the Market

-- Uninstall the updates to the market, clear the market's cache and data, then reboot

I personally use the TitaniumBackup method anytime the market wants to be fussy. ;)

I had that same problem trying to install Evernote from Android Market. Finally gave up and downloaded it from Amazon, worked fine.
