Using the latest BobZhome build... some calls do not get placed, for some reason specific numbers in my contacts list will cause the dialer to terminate.

Dalvik-cache is not moved to ext by default, neither are applications, despite the a2sd script being built into the rom.

I used a2sdgui to configure a2sd, the only thing that I can't change is the swap.

A Little Help With 3G Please

I installed this mod and seems to be running great but for some reason I do not have 3G any longer. Wifi works fine.

I noticed it says "Baseband Version: Unknown". I tend to thing this has something to do with my issue.

What would cause this issue when updating from stock 2.2.1 from VM to this rom?

And how might I fix this please :D

**EDIT: BTW the phone works fine for phone calls, WIFI works but when I turn off WIFI I get no 3G Data. I have installed the JerryScript version of this mod and have installed google apps.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
All custom roms say unknown for baseband,

Check settings -> wireless & network settings -> mobile network settings

Make sure Data enabled is checked.
[Optimus V Android Development] kdwycha:
I have verified that Data Enabled is checked, International Data Roaming (Unchecked), National Data Roaming (Unchecked) and System Select is set for Home.

I will attempt to restore the original virgin mobile rom and then try to reinstall.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
No need to restore original ROM. Just go into recovery, backup the current one, then wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, then in advanced menu, format all EXCEPT /sdcard. Then reflash the ROM .zip & gapps.zip.
[Optimus V Android Development] kdwycha:
Well on the stock ROM I have 3G again. I will now try reinstalling this rom and see what happens. At least I am not as freaked out now that I broke something :)

****EDIT

If anyone has an issue in the future with installing this rom on LG Optimus V and not getting 3G here was my issue. I had stock VM rom on device, I rooted device...I waited a few days then decided to try latest asop ROM. I installed that and 3G didnt work. Then I installed this rom, 3G didnt work.

To FIX I installed the stock ROM again from backup (sure hope you backed that up lol) and then I clicked the activate app. Then I wiped everything again and installed this rom. Presto 3G working again.

Hope that helps anyone having the issue I did. I think it was related to the asop ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
With AutoVolumeControl.txt set to 0 & rebooted (also verified it's still at 0 after reboot). I called a number and the volume button still behaves the same (mutes at 1 click, can't go down to 0, and skips some levels when increasing or decreasing sequentially). New logcat: http://pastebin.com/ffZDBdBh

As for the GPS drain bug, note that the phone has to be rebooted to reset it to the low drain mode, otherwise it could already be in the high drain mode from a previous GPS session. Also 6%/hr is already too high for this bug to be noticed. At first because my idle drain after reboot is pretty low, about 1%/hr or less, after GPS toggle, it goes to maybe 2-3%/hr, so 6%/hr drain may already include some other drains that could mask the GPS.

The other night, I toggled GPS on & off, then put phone into airplane mode for overnight sleep. When I woke up did a "dumpsys batteryinfo > /sdcard/batt.txt", it kept a partial wake lock on GpsLocationProvider for over 8 hours:

Wake lock GpsLocationProvider: 8h 28m 58s 642ms partial (45 times) realtime

Wake lock GpsLocationProvider: 8h 28m 58s 74ms partial (18 times) realtime

Full batteryinfo dump file here:

http://cyanogenmod.googlecode.com/i...fo.txt&token=ef850786dccc5dfa33defe3d586eef25

The slope may be the same because it already was in "high-drain mode". The battery stats reset when it's charged above 90%, not from last reboot (which is needed to reset GPS drain).
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
So whenever i start GPS phone goes into high drain mode and so when im done using it i should restart phone to make sure it goes back into low drain mode?
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Which recovery are you using? Using CWM recovery should prevent left-over info from a previous ROM if you wiped cache, dalvik-cache, data, & format. This sounds like you used a different recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Exactly, this is the workaround I'm using now until this bug is fixed. Be sure to disable GPS before rebooting though.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
I will test this out tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes, seems to make the most sense (then again so did the picasa sync and that didn't make a bit of a difference)
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
Must be the case. No problems with the official cable, the one that came with an intercept, or any I have from mono.
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
I alternate between the LG cable and (usually in the car) a cheap Chinese miniUSB cable with a Motorola miniUSB-to-microUSB adapter on the end. Both work fine and dandy for charging and for connection to a PC.

By the way, I'm not sure whether anyone has mentioned this already, but Words with Friends no longer hangs for me. I saw that GrooVeIP has also been reported fixed, so yay.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Some new changes I'm interested in testing, specifically new LG GPS modules & read-ahead buffers:

Someone else needs to pick up building a pure IHO since Pbailey212's Ubuntu Linux was hosed recently (according to his post on AC).

Or better yet, this project could probably qualify for CM7.1's automated nightly build schedules now (since all hardware works). Can't we get this officially supported by CM now?
[Optimus V Android Development] dajhorn:
I removed the /system/etc/init.d/01mvdalvik file on my LG Optimus V, purged the dalvik cache, and got better behavior from applications like S2E and root-all2sd that move things to the SD card.

Doing this also fixes the bug where the Android Market fails to install or upgrade apps on the LG Optimus V with a generic "unsuccessful" error message.

IHO commit ba1b91fecd4243e833786d52e3ef025d9a2b9c16 combines the dalvik caches for system and application onto mtdblock1. If too many apps that have large dexes are installed, then this small partition becomes full and things fail in unusual ways because the combined cache isn't properly evicted. If /data/dalvik-cache stays on mtdblock6, then the user gets a sensible error message that says storage full.

bear in mind I never install gapps or sync data, and I also kill 'junk' apps like voice dialer on boot manually.

Thanks Jerry, I will test this later tonight. Anyone have problems with the GPS? Someone on AC said their GPS stopped working completely on this new build.
[Optimus V Android Development] crpeck:
Odd - My gps is not working either - it shows up enabled in settings, but, Maps & another GPS app don't see it enabled. It never shows up enabled in the status bar. I've tried turning it off & on - but - no go. Even tried re-flashing again, after a complete wipe...

Update - I just did a repo sync, make & flashed the stock build to my phone - GPS is fine with that...

[Optimus V Android Development] Granwoltz:
n00b here. Have been using the JerryScript ROMs since I got my OV a couple weeks ago. Have been enjoying them, however I also have the problem with the GPS not working. Says it's selected in the settings, but Maps & Navigation (and a few others) say it's disabled.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Jerry's BACKside 0817 build has a problem with GPS not working.

UPDATE: Using jyklly's pure IHO build, the GPS can be used after reboot. But lost it after some testing turning on & off, then a reboot brought it back. Doing the dumpsys later reveals GpsLocationProvider had wake lock of 43m or so, which is seems odd.
[Optimus V Android Development] whizkid515:
Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to Blarf, JerryScript, and everyone else who has contributed to IHO's development. The progress you're making is amazing. Even if/when the OV gets Gingerbread officially, you will have bested LG's development team by a long shot!

I am running the August 3rd build of BACKside currently, and I'm wondering if it's safe to upgrade to a different IHO ROM (i.e. mrg666 or jyklly's builds), or if I should re-flash.
[Optimus V Android Development] jack454:
You use this. repo init -u git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git -b gingerbread
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I can confirm the same GPS problem in my build: no GPS icon in the status bar, GPS does not work. That is why I have not posted it. I have reverted back to my 08132011 build. It is very good news that GPS drain bug will be fixed soon. Thank you, Blarf!
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Okay, I will get back to posting pure builds again even if it is duplicate. I had only stopped posting to give space for the others, I am still building for myself anyway. Next build will be posted as soon as GPS becomes functional again.

GPS testing

Ok more GPS testing. It came back for me after a reboot. So I decided to do some logcats. They're pretty big (debugging turned up?). 3 logcat files available at:

http://ge.tt/8zEX7v6?c

During the end of log5.txt, my phone rebooted (not overclocked) for the first time ever, not sure if it's GPS or the app (GPS Essentials, satellite lock) I was starting & stopping while trying to reproduce the problem.

Anyway I couldn't reproduce the problem while toggling on & off the GPS while starting & stopping apps (all while logcat was running). Was about to give up and start typing this report. A few minutes later, I decided to try one more time, turned on the GPS and tried to lock using an app, and BAM it's not able to anymore! Rebooted again, and repeated, slept phone for a few minutes, and it's still locking on now. Hard to reproduce it seems, reboot brings GPS back for me at least consistently.

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Well it seems the OEM GPS blobs used in latest build (0817) still has high drain after GPS is used. And it prevents CPU from going into deep sleep mode (according to CPU Spy app). As before the workaround is to turn off GPS & reboot phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I've removed the link on the OP and the wiki to the 0817 BACKside-IHO build due to gps issues. Will post a new build soon, till then use the 0810 or one of the other IHO builds if you need GPS and already flashed the 0817 build. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I use my backup root, every once in a while an app doesn't get restored properly, by you just redownload it, and restore the data, and its good as new.

[Optimus V Android Development] mrbenji:
Hmm. This is disturbing. Was using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4... updated to the latest IHO recovery and tried restoring a previous backup. MD5 sum check failed. Flashed back to CM Recovery, restore is working again.

Shouldn't previous backups still check out correctly?
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
I'm not sure if this is a recurring issue that nobody can do anything about or not, but the accelerometer is sssssssssssssuper ssssssssslow to respond. It makes playing games like Abduction impossible. Also, screen rotation is slower on IHO than other ROMs I've dinked around with lately.

I've used both of the pure ROMs currently available (pbaily212's 8/15 and jyklly's 8/17) and both of theme exhibit this behavior. There's not anything listed for this in the issues, but I wanted to make sure I'm not the only one before I list a bug for what winds up being a hardware defect in my specific phone or something.

edit: also wish I'd learned of My Backup Root before I popped for Ti Backup paid edition. Oh well.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
If you're using Jerry's build he accidentally left out the live wallpaper chooser. He's got it posted in this thread somewhere if you want to re-install it.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I'll try to look at GPS in the next few days. I've been using a clean build built on a machine separate from the one I made the commits from and it definitely works for me... and actually worked a bit better than it's ever done with the open source libs.

That said if you want to release a new build it should be sufficient to back out the two GPS commits.

And, yeah, my battery charge icon works w/ the text (that's how I've got it set by default). That may be a CM bug?
[Optimus V Android Development] niphoet:
I encountered an issue that I can reproduce every time. I'm running Mrg666's 8/13 ROM, and any time I try to open the Barcode Scanner from ZXing Team (http://is.gd/emUMVP) my phone reboots. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled from the market and it still reboots as soon as I load the app. Can anyone else try/confirm this on Mrg666's or anyone else's IHO ROM? Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I've been using jyklly's pure IHO build and GPS works for me, but it did disappear at one point last night until a reboot. Maybe toggle the 'use network location' setting too? It seems that setting was turned on automatically for me, since I usually have it unchecked. Also this build's after-GPS drain is higher, and phone doesn't go into deep sleep mode according to CPU spy after use.

The #1 reason for random reboots is overclocking. in Cyanogenmod settings - performance, decrease the maximum CPU frequency to 600 or less, these chips weren't designed to run higher, if it does that's just luck.
[Optimus V Android Development] niphoet:
It isn't a random reboot, it can be reproduced every time with one app that, one would assume, wouldn't need a huge amount of processor resources.
[Optimus V Android Development] Dralspire:
I don't have that issue. If you overclock, drop the top frequency down a step, that solved my "camera on" reboots.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ostrich Egg:
Ditto. I had been running at 787 MHz and would get camera reboots. I dropped down to 768 MHz and it doesn't happen anymore. For whatever reason the camera seems to be really good at exposing whether you've overclocked too ambitiously.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
A nice possible note to share with new releases, if a theme made in uot kitchen working with the last release will also with with the new, or if framework and systemui have changed.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Me neither. Barcode Scanner is a program I use frequently and it has never crashed.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Thanks Blarf. If I back out the GPS commits, there will not be anything else significant that will require a new build; IHO is in such a good shape right now ;) I think, we can survive with the previous builds until you come up with the fix for an even better build. If you want to have the current builds with GPS problem, you can send a PM.

Edit: Here is the build link if anyone wants to test. Please do not add this into the Wiki since GPS is not working for me. Since it was built for my use, I have removed all languages except English-US, Email.apk (since I use K9), CMStats, CMUpdateNotify in addition to the other removals listed in the wiki. Yes, I am a minimalist :) (MD5: AD217C678936D24412EB848BE490E1F4)

[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
man, i've searched the threads for IHO here, android central, and androidforums, and found nothing about other users having accelerometer problems. Apparently it's just me? Any suggestions on something I can try? Harmonia and Bumblebee never had a problem with lag.
[Optimus V Android Development] niphoet:
I had a lot of accelerometer problems using aosp's early CM7 ROM, but none since then. There's some way to recalibrate the accelerometer, you might try gooling for that.
[Optimus V Android Development] ejlmd:
mrg666, going forward, would you consider sharing (posting on wiki) these slimmed down, barebone builds as you generate them (after GPS fixed)?
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
Any chance you could put out your regular build with Italian and German removed once the GPS issue is fixed? As a matter of practicality, this is for Optimus V/S phones, so anyone in the North America continent would be fully covered with English, Spanish and French.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
I'll see what I can scare up. Thanks!

edit: I installed a level app called Bubble (based on advice from this thread). The accelerometer works. The problem is the phone seems to poll the postion about once every 1 to 1.5 seconds (which incidentally seems to be how fast Abduction responds). I also grabbed an app called "Accelerometer checker" which takes measurements at 6 different positions (on each edge, on its back, and laying on its screen). It gave me some information, including sampling frequency, which was 98Hz.

edit2: a side-scrolling shooter called Overkill was the Amazon free app of the day a couple days ago. It's also exhibiting the same behavior as the level app and Abduction. Seems not to be app-specific.

I'm at a loss.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Sure, that is easier for me since I use the small version for myself. I will upload the smaller versions from now on. Is it okay if I leave the Email.apk out as well? K9 is so much better than that.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
OK, finally found an answer. It's CM7:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...ing-lg-optimus-v-rooting-w-2.html#post1153343

Blarf seems to be suggesting you need to reboot your phone every day as the accelerometer deteriorates and becomes sluggish. Indeed, I just rebooted my phone and it's fine right away. Guess I know what I need to do if it happens again. :D

so I'm going to stick to the "pure" build from 8/15.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
If you use a different ROM and it samples faster, but only slow sampling on this ROM, then I would suggest doing a complete wipe & format again & reflash. Sometimes weird things happen when wipes aren't complete (you're using CWM recovery right?), or when restoring stuff from a different ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
It wasn't that other ROMs were polling at a faster rate, it's that the reported polling rate of ~100Hz is not what I was seeing (which was more like .75 Hz). Like I said, though, rebooting fixed it. Odd that blarf knows about it but it's not on the IHO issues list. Should I put it there? Or leave it alone?
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
If you & blarf both see it, then it's likely a real issue. But I haven't seen it on mine yet, I don't use a lot of apps that use the accelerometer, so haven't noticed. The github issues list is just a nice place to collect all the problems, big & small, for this ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I've seen it but not consistently. And, yeah, chuck it in Github.
[Optimus V Android Development] ejlmd:
Personally, I just use the Gmail app, so if anything I'd prefer the builds without Email.apk.

While I'm on a roll, I guess I couldn't talk you into switching from ADW Launcher to the native GB launcher?:rolleyes: If not, it's certainly quick and easy to flash the Launcher2.zip you kindly provided.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
blarf, how well would you say the thread is going as far as reporting issues? I hope we end users are reporting the legit problems in github with pertinent info. Plus, Whyzor's turning into a logcat king. Didn't expect someone to run with that in-call volume thing I mentioned and Whyzor kinda took off on it. (props, Whyzor)

Does it feel easy to prioritize what work you're doing or are we talking to much about the same things?
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
To add to the discussion, my battery drain is *significantly* less with JerryScript's 8/17 build...

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
lol, yeah it's not much different than what I do for work, just wish I understood more of the source code to change things myself. I do some development in a different environment (not phone or android related), so always appreciate a good bug report.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Okay, I will take Email.apk out of the build from now on. I can also supply a modded K9 apk with the stock Email.apk icon in case others also find that robotic dog icon so ugly like me. Regarding ADW, I think it is a better launcher than stock. It has many more features while its apk is smaller than the stock launcher. You can also configure ADW to function/look almost exactly like the stock launcher. It is just 10 seconds to replace it in the recovery while upgrading the ROM and I don't want to add anything to continue as a pure build.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Whyzor, I think you are very helpful. I hope you stay around.
