Risky IHO Recovery

I just submitted the following issue report about the IHO recovery: https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/issues/49

Using the IHO recovery 4.0.1.4.3, if you go into the 'Mounts and Storage" menu, you have the option to format the /boot, /cache, /data, /sdcard, /system, and /sd-ext partitions.

In other recovery programs (such as CWMod 3.2.0.1), if you select one of these, you are presented with the "are you sure?" "no no no no yes no no" menu.

However, with IHO, the partition is formatted immediately.

I believe that this behavior is very dangerous as it is far too easy to format a partition (or the wrong partition) by mistake.

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

Edit: OK, call me crazy, but I just tried this again and this time I did get the "are you sure/confirm" dialog.

Not sure what was going on, but it looks like a false alarm. Sorry about that.

same here wifi is working great on my belkin router now! no problems at all
[Optimus V Android Development] dingnecros:
Ok here is reconfirming that everything works for me now on this rom. GrooveIP got fixed on Aug03 version and now the wifi is also fixed as per the mrg666 Aug 13 version. So both problems fixed and battery life is pretty good. This will be remaining on my phone for now on. Unless anything breaks bad or becomes a show stopper this will be my new daily driver
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Glad to hear it. I'll take this time to suggest now might be a good time to donate (if you have the means). :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jellysweep:
Working great here. Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] dingnecros:
I am trying to make a video recording using the camera app. The app records the video but no audio. While playing back with multiple players such as VLC, mplayer, MPC etc I get random static blips and silence. Media info shows the audio stream as AAC and video as H.263+

Can anybody confirm if this is indeed the case or I am missing something in the settings. Also is there an alternative that can be used?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Works for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] citizeninsane89:
Same problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
Any chance mrg666, BobZ and Jerry could maybe write up a little section on the wiki about their build and what the differences are between them (such as what they've added/removed? How much space is available usually?)? It's kinda confusing - after some deduction I've found that one has a different launcher, and that one removes some things. It'd probably save some n00bs a lot of trouble too, because they'd know what to download.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I had the same issue, so I did what we are supposed to do, went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, re-flashed the BACKside0810 build, reflashed the GreenMachineTheme(0810), rebooted, took a quick test video with the camera app, closed the camera app and opened the video in the stock player, now sound is back.

When I originally flashed the 0810 build, I did a complete wipe/format including data, so I restored my apps via TitaniumBackup batch restore. When I did so, I'm thinking I may have forgotten to uncheck the camera app along with all the other system apps.

Short-story: If you're having issues with audio in videos taken with the camera apk, wipe cache/dalvik and reflash the ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I added a small section in the wiki documenting differences between the binary distributions. It could be updated by the authors if anything's incorrect, I'm not sure if the free space after install would be different between them unless /system is repartitioned.

https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Thanks Whyzor, I updated it with the changes to BACKside0810 ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
That is AWESOME, thanks Whyzor.

Running 8/13 build here, no problems for anything I do. Not likely to upgrade again unless someone finds some magic to make the battery last longer, and at this point I think it really would be magic. LG/VM's stock ROM doesn't do any better on battery for me than any of the IHO builds, so it's not like GB or IHO is terrible it's just that the phone sucks down the battery, and the battery is kinda skimpy.
[Optimus V Android Development] 1cewolf:
The only ROM that's even given me exceptional battery life was Harmonia, a Froyo ROM.

Fortunately, its developer, LeslieAnn, says she's going to wind down development of Harmonia to work on her own IHO variant :D
[Optimus V Android Development] greyspot:
Fixed 8-10 build

Here is JerryScript's 8-10 build with the livewallpaperpicker included. I didn't want to make two zips, so I also added the cyanbread theme back from the older build. You can delete it if you wish. Nothing else was touched.

I'll remove the link after he releases the next build.

8/10 with Live Wallpaper Picker:

[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
greyspot: your link, she is broken! Not that I want or need the app, just that I always click on everything because I invite trouble.

The current state of Harmonia (not at all LeslieAnn's fault, btw) prevents me from installing it. No ext3/ext4 support, newer Google apps don't always work, etc. because of signing issues...it's too bad about that last part - I don't mind a FAT32 partition for Link2SD, but not being able to update apps kind of puts me off. Especially once Google elects to for whatever reason discontinue support for the older Market app.
[Optimus V Android Development] bohalloran95:
Any know how to get MMS working?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
MMS is working, be sure you have 3g service when trying, it doesn't work over wifi. If your MMS doen't work, you'll need to do a complete wipe/format and reflash the ROM and gapps.
[Optimus V Android Development] bohalloran95:
All of the got hubs, Jerryscript or mrg666
[Optimus V Android Development] huntersquid:
Excellent! That makes it much more clear and will probably clear up some of the questions about the ROMs.
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
Thanks for doing that! Looks good to me.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Thank you for that, it really helps. I have changed the additional files section a little bit trying to improve.
[Optimus V Android Development] LeslieAnn:
The only newer app not working is the Market itself. The new Email and Gmail are in it. The market will be fixed for it soon I hope.
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
New build up: https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary

Here's a link to a 100% pure IHO I did today, I call it "your name here rom" I did it for someone else so I figured I would post it since its ready to go
[Optimus V Android Development] svenjoypro:
So we are aware that this rom currently drains battery power really quickly? PowerTutor shows that it's the Kernel's use of 3g that drains it so quickly. Thus JuiceDefender helps battery life by leaps and bounds by turning off 3g. Why does the kernel need the network so much? Is there a fix for this in the future?

Apart from the battery issue, I've had no problems. I appreciate the work put into this project.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
my battery was fully charged at 6am, down to about 77% by 9am after that

i streamed music from radio.com app for a good 4+ hours, battery was around 22% after that.

battery stats stated cell standby was at about 47% with phone idle slightly under that, and radio.com app was a mere 4%

*using jerry's build

p.s. yes i know how to reset battery stats properly i got about the same results before and after the reset.

suprisingly enough during the rest the battery lasted the longest on idle yet plunged from 40-20% when i started to play a game on it.
[Optimus V Android Development] PancakeShake:
If we were to switch from say mrg666's rom to bobz's what would be the correct way to do it?

can i wipe just cache and dalvik cache. or do i need a complete wipe?
[Optimus V Android Development] PancakeShake:
Been having lots of reboots and app crashes with this one?
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
My phone has been draining battery like crazy

@pbailey- was there a reason to put a new one out today? I haven't seen any git commits really in the past few days that would justify a new one
[Optimus V Android Development] bananaboat23:
I've been using Jerry's 08102011 BACKside ROM. It's been pretty great, so a big thanks to all the devs.

One thing: has anybody had Gmail push notifications not work? I've received emails hours ago and nothing popped up. Am I missing a setting? Thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
For those of you who are building from source, you may be asking yourself, what's the next step? TechTV has a pretty good series on building Android from source. They are long, but they will leave you with a much better understanding of the interactions between the files used to build your own ROM. ;)

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
According to one of the slides at the Google IO presentation here:

http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/CodingLifeBatteryLife.html

3G drains the most, except wifi, but wifi is done transferring sooner, so it's more efficient. Idle drain on this ROM is great (other than the GPS bug), less than 1%/hour, but under use it's a different story.
[Optimus V Android Development] Hyeagley:
I aksed for a new rom me and a few others are doing an IHO based rom

Sent from my LG Optimus V running CM7 REMIX RED
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Plus there is no pure roms anymore, this way people who don't want to deal with repo and all the other stuff, don't have to. I will try to update as often as I can. It was going to be a one time thing, but what the hell, I will roll with it
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Hows it going with your project? Send me some screenshots when you get things going
[Optimus V Android Development] Hyeagley:
Pretty good it will prolly be a few days just cause I'm learning and taking my time:) I can't thank you and blarf enough for helping I have learned a ton! Ill send you some shots soon!

Sent from my LG Optimus V running CM7 REMIX RED
[Optimus V Android Development] svenjoypro:
Why is that? My phone's kernel functions just fine with 3g disabled. So why does the kernel go crazy downloading the entire internet as soon as I enable it again? I'm no rom expert, but can't we just remove some lines of code and get rid of that? I'm still unsure of why the kernel needs network access, and what it's doing with that access.

I hope I don't sound ungrateful. I love the modding community, and appreciate the hard work that goes into these roms, but I had a 2.2 rom that lasted forever on a battery charge. What is the difference in the kernels that cause that huge difference?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Gmail push is just not the best, it happens on any ROM unfortunately.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Not sure if it's the kernel or just that 3G uses the radio chip hardware and that's how much power it uses. This also depends on how well the phone's signal is. Someone has to do a comparison between downloading a large file for a specific time and see how much battery it drains (or better yet, hook a multimeter up and measure the current draw) vs this ROM to really quantify it's either more or less efficient than a different ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] greyspot:
You are correct. For some reason, the link went to the condensed "..." version shown on the forum. After I edited the post, it stuck. Odd.

Let's try again. Here is JerryScript's 8-10 build with the livewallpaperpicker and cyanbread theme included.

I'll remove the link after he releases the next build.

8/10 with Live Wallpaper Picker:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5530592/droid/BACKside-IHO-VM670-08102011-LiveWallpaperFix.zip
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
First its not the kernel using the network. It is applications needing access. I highly suspect if you have that kind of battery drain you have a app that is hammering your 3g connection or as stated not the greatest signal.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
One of the more common culprits for battery drain after a new ROM install is sync. Once you set up your google account, it will attempt to sync everything google related, books, calendar, contacts, pictures (picassa), and gmail.

First thing I do after google sign-in on a new ROM install or gapps flash, is to go into settings>>accounts&sync>> and uncheck books and picasa. Check for other apps that sync as well, and you might find a hidden battery drainer. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
You know that JUST MIGHT BE IT

i have over 2000 pictures in my picasa that is synched to my phone (my website is run on blogger so yeah... many pictures)

unclicked picasa and did books because i dont read books on my android anyways.

let's see how well this actually does now :D
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
It must be related to your phone, your flash method, or configuration. I have not heard any similar problem after more than 150 downloads. I am also using that ROM on two separate phones myself. I suggest reflashing the same ROM or another one after a complete wipe. See the instructions in the wiki.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
The only settings I have for sync now are Contacts, GMail, and Calendar. I used to see Picasa--but I've been deleting the Gallery3Dapp (I think I prefer QuickPic from the market). Gallery3D must have handled the Picasa sync?
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
Well turned off picasa sync and book sync and battery still drops fairly quickly. it's at 83% after 2 hours of idling.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Go into setttings>>about_phone>>battery_use and see what is using the most power. Then click on the battery graph and see if something is staying on all the time, like GPS or wifi or wake. Sounds like you may have a wake lock.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
i also highly suggest downloading the Watchdog app.

there have been a couple of times that i've had crazy battery drain and this app helped me identify that one of my apps was running in the foreground for whatever reason. all i had to do was kill the app and it was fixed.
[Optimus V Android Development] svenjoypro:
I get the same battery drain with "Background Data" and syncing turned off as I do with them enabled.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Here's my battery stats for the past day, light usage, a few games, checking emails, a few webpages, a few phone calls, a few texts.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/issues/48

Can someone who is experiencing this bug reproduce it, and attach a logcat of just the audio stuff (only lines with AudioPolicyManager or AudioHardwareMSM72XX in them please) to the issue. Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Just reproduced this with logcat. If I remember correctly, I set volume down as much as possible, then clicked all the way up to max volume, then down & up a few times, then stepped all the way down again. Seems the levels are skipping & not in sequence. And 1 click is the lowest setting, with it being muted. (posted log to the issue on github)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
From the log it looks like it's setting the volume in the same way each time (steps are in sequence, etc). So it's likely some sort of kernel bug.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Can you try this with auto volume control disabled?

remount

"echo 0 > /system/etc/AutoVolumeControl.txt"

reboot

Also, can anyone reproduce the GPS battery drain bug? I could.. added debugging statements and then couldn't... reverted... and still couldn't. Even after using GPS heavy apps, battery drain was still max 6%/hr.

ALSO: Is anyone using a non-LG USB cable? :)
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
You have more left after 19 hours then i do with 8

maps is really high but i only recently turned it one with GPS for a minute or two, usually standby/idle are in the high 40's

*picture was just taken at time of this posting
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
Maps might be your culprit.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Maps is extremely high, are you using the new offline cache feature of the latest Maps?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Maps is using a lot of power, potentially, but the graph sure doesn't look like the slope changed after you turned GPS on (a.k.a. there isn't a huge issue with GPS battery drain). Can you take a screenshot after you tap on "Maps" to give us an idea of what exactly Maps is doing to rank so high up there?

9%/hr doesn't seem SO bad considering most tests seem to peg the Optimus at about 5-6 hours of talk time.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
maps has been off all day, i just recently turned it on for a couple seconds to check my location with gps. i don't know WHY it's all the way up there

also no, not using offline cache

*edit here is what map shows under battery stats (battery went back up abit since it is currently plugged into pc to take out screenshots)
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
For what it is worth, this is on 245/600 CPU (making it higher didn't make battery drain faster)

Also this is at lowest brightness settings.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
It's probably up there because it's kept WiFi and GPS on for quite a bit.
[Optimus V Android Development] nagle3092:
NM, it would help if I re-read the open.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Sweeeet!
[Optimus V Android Development] bleichtman:
Still can't seem to make calls while aux is plugged in to headset. Was that supposedly fixed in this rom? I can faintly hear the other party through my speakers.
[Optimus V Android Development] Ostrich Egg:
Like a few others, my phone wasn't charging when plugged into the wall. It was showing up as plugged into AC, but the percentage kept dropping. I reflashed from scratch and before doing anything else, I'm letting it attempt to charge. It seems to be working this time (just went from 29% to 31%).
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
I see. Thanks for putting in the effort. And please do let me know if I can help you debug it. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Build 07222011 is now up, link on the first page. Green Machine theme now changes carrier name. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
Cool. Ill give it a try.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I know I reported yesterday that I was having difficulty with ext2 file system support and I was able to get the 2nd partition recognized after repartitioning with gparted last night. Well, today I reinstalled the ROM and it didn't recognize the sd-ext partition again after that.

Something with the ext fs implementation doesn't seem to reliably work.

btw, I've been using kernel #49 this whole time. I'd report a bug on the git page if I knew someone else could reproduce it or if I had more definitive information.

steps to reproduce:

install this ROM

get ext2 partition to recognize

reinstall the ROM

doesn't recognize ext2 partition now
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Try kernel v53 if you have the time, it should support ext2/3/4. A logcat of the startup might help, you'll have to use ADB to grab it during startup.
[Optimus V Android Development] Zomboogz:
Hey,

I wanted to take some time out to express my gratitude for all of your diligent work on this ROM. I was using Zefie's CM7 for the Optimus V and I came across a few issues that made me want to flash another ROM. There was an issue with the phones proximity censor during and after calls, the battery drained pretty quickly, and the built in WiFi Tethering App didn't work. This ROM addressed all of those issues and got me closer to the actual CM7 ROM.

Thanks again, so far everything if working perfectly.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
USB mass storage device is not working. I think the latest update broke it again or something. I plugged my phone in with 2 different cables to windows 7 pc and got nothing.

edit: maybe its still not working. I though I read it was fixed.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I just tested, took three attempts, but it did work and the folder popped up on my W7 pc.

I had to go into settings>>applications>>development then toggle usb debugging, the USB mass storage screen then appeared, and it took 3 attempts, but then it did connect.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Works fine for me with XP and the stock LG Android Drivers intalled. Tethering does not work, however. If you've been trying to get the tethering working, reboot then try mass storage otherwise the Windows (ugh Windows does terrible things to USB) won't even tell the phone there's a computer connected.

The way it's working in XP is that Windows will see the drive no matter what, and when you turn mass storage on, it'll 'insert a disk' and do its autorun thing. When you turn it off, it'll "eject" the disk (but make sure you eject it before you turn USB mass storage mode off).

Please make note of:

- which kernel you've got

- output of adb "strings /system/bin/vold | grep /sys/dev" (note the quotes are important)

- whether or not the phone thinks it's connected to a computer (do you see the USB and/or debugging items in the status bar)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
For all those with charging problems try the latest kernel (#53). The problem with tethering was due to how the kernel was trying to figure out which sort of charger was connected...
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Kernel v49 after ~18hrs

had no charging or USB transfer problems with win 7 or linux on kernel v49 the only difference i'd noticed is that there was an additional 40-50MB of memory being used at any point in time (even after dalvik clears and reboots) and this was different from the first two builds and other DEVs cm7 builds i've just flashed the 07/22 build and i'm gonna see how everything goes there.

EDIT: just finished booting and memory is back to normal in new kernel got my 40-50MB back that was in use in the last build i'll keep testing..........

EDIT: overall "real-world" use seems snappier than the last three builds (even with 400Mb in apps), i like this new kernel!
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
#53 is charging for you?
[Optimus V Android Development] citizeninsane89:
I'm having some WiFi issues.

I check the never disconnect box but it still does it for like 3 secs then connects again.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Yes PC USB Charging works in v53 (went from 56% to 58% just now...)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Ya lemmie know if this persists with v53, and also lemmie know what type of partition map, if any, is being used on the sd card.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
I would consider that broken then. And yes I toggled the development in app settings. I tried this on 2 windows 7 computers. Both would charge the phone but no mass storage.
[Optimus V Android Development] GhostCow:
My cable is a random one from radio shack, how can I help?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Well if that cable isn't rebooting your phone, that's helpful enough. lol.

Apparently I've got two evil cables here. >_<
