BTW with small bit of effort you can probably mangle Koush's AnyKernel template to do what you want (repack boot.img to include a modified init.thunderc.rc).

I believe on XP the trick was to install the INF first. Obviously that doesn't work.

And yes, Windows gets very, very weird if you start using it. Can you move this to Github's issue tracker (why the INF failed to install on 7, etc)? When you've got the found new hardware / look for a driver window up the trick is to go into the device manager and see what's got the big yellow question mark. That'll let you peek at whatever. Or maybe you can find a decent, free, USB debugging for Windows. I know OSX comes with USB Prober which makes things much easier.

As for 7 and XP not recognizing the phone I'd go into the device manager and delete the hidden USB devices.

Yeah there's a lot of ****ty wireless hardware out there, and I'm sure that plays a part. But what was linked to above indicates some sort of problem even sending DCHP packets over the wire. Both of my WAPs are using DD-WRT (which has its own issues), but they play nice with CM's DHCP client. There are a lot of ways to make a DCHP client to spec that doesn't work with anything (ask Microsoft about Vista).
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
OSX and most unixy things will do the same. So yeah you'll see those files hidden by default on your phone too if you go in thru adb shell.

I'm starting to think an IHO subforum might be useful. lol.

I haven't changed my debian install in a long time (months) and it's worked with every rom I've tried it on, with different degrees of pickiness about the terminal app's shell. the chroot definitely seems to like the cm7 roms best.

I have no trouble with any features of the backside rom (nothing I use is broken)

and my same old chroot works fine with this rom and the ath3nos version as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
I certainly will, this evening (possibly tomorrow morning) after I've tried what you suggested with 7's Found New Hardware window. Hopefully I can get Found New Hardware to come up again if I uninstall and reinstall the drivers...*crosses fingers*

Also, installing the INF before plugging in the phone did not work for me on XP. I had to direct the Found New Hardware wizard to the INF when I enabled tethering from the phone for the first time.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
I'm not 100% sure about a2dp, but other than minor issues I haven't had much problem with BT.

As far as CPU settings... that can be tricky. I've tried a few different governors, and always ended up going back to ondemand for one reason or another. Interactive doesn't like background processes, any of them with X at the end tend to be a little too extreme in CPU downclocking and apps wont run when phone screen is off.

Basically the CPU governor will be one of those things I'd recommend selecting one, playing with it, then trying another until you get a feel for them all.

Personally I don't overclock the CPU frequency, since the phone already gets hot when I use it (mainly when running taxi cab and using phone for GPS).

Also, it seems that an earlier post didn't get to the board. Meh.

I've been reading about the MiRaGe IHO. My phone has started to force-close more often than I'd like, and been randomly rebooting + odd bluetooth issues that appear more and more often, so I've been thinking of reformatting.

I looked at the WIKI, but I'm still not exactly sure what the difference between MiRaGe and BACKside are. From what I'm gathering, I'm assuming that mrg's build is faster and less bloated? I'm not quite sure :{
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
There are several bluetooth related changes in the latest MiRaGe build but there are no specific bluetooth issues reported yet after hundreds of downloads. MiRaGe is neither faster nor less bloated than BACKside. I would recommend you to try BACKside and stick with it if your "odd bluetooth issues" are gone.
[Optimus V Android Development] bennettg:
thanks.

i had already played around with the set cpu and will change back to on-demand, per your recommendation.

can someone share the original min and max frequencies for the optimus v so i can change them back.

thanks in advance

Min: 245

[Optimus V Android Development] magus7091:
I switched from BACKside to mirage to test bluetooth fixes. Haven't, and likely won't get a chance to now. The differences between the two seem to be mostly cosmetic though e.g. BACKside has a built-in boot animation changer and the ability to use a custom notification drop down background. A2dp and avrcp both work, but only work correctly 100% of the time with the stock music app, everything else I've tried either works partially, some of the time, or not at all, this is why I switched, but it appears I won't be able to test it now. Of course, as always, ymmv. Speaking of BACKside, where are you Jerry? I miss your ROM....
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I have modified the CM7 Cyanbread theme to make it lighter and improve some of the bitmaps. The new theme is named Cyanbread_light. It's main function is to replace all of the orange highlights with cyan/blue. I used a theme since many apps also default to orange bypassing the bitmaps in framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. So for a unified orange replacement a CM7 theme was the practical method instead of modifying the apps. Since I don't like adding themes in the ROM, I have made it as light as possible. The apk below is only 765 KB. I also didn't want almost everything in cyan color as it was in the original theme. This theme subtly touches the colors where necessary to replace the oranges. It would be good if you can test and post your feedback until the next build that will have this light theme as default.

Cyanbread_light theme

Just download it to your sd card and install from there.

Edit: Made it even smaller (632KB) and restored the power widget background to original
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
mrg, oh oh....cyan. :( .............. :p

I thought you would go with green to match the rest of the rom. I used to apply the androidian theme but I stopped doing it because it would also change the signal strength icon back to default, but everything looks great in green.

I have attached the apk in case you'd like to take a look a it.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I thought about making all green but this looks better to me. It was just too green like too much blue in ICS :)
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I'll give it a try later tonight and report how it goes.

edit: I'm using the Cyanbread_light theme and it works fine. It's a nice shade of blue too.

MiRaGe 05272012

I have uploaded the 05272012 build of MiRaGe to the IHO Wiki.

- Synced with the CM repo.

- added a kernel fix for uptime overflow in the kernel after a recent report

- added a Cyanbread_light theme by default to replace the orange highlights with cyan/blue that matches with the recent Google Play apps

- replaced /system/etc/gps.conf with a configuration that helps with my weak GPS

The Cyanbread_light theme is a modification of the default Cyanbread theme in CM7. I have reduced its size from 3.6MB to 0.6MB and improved/changed some icons. The impact on the system performance should be minimal this way. It only changes the default orange highlights with cyan/blue to match with the recent Google Play apps (store, books, etc.). If the Cyanbread_light is not activated by default you can do it in Theme Chooser. You can also revert back to the original System theme the same way. The source code of the modified theme is here.

I forgot changing the boot logo. I will do this next time.

The same ROM modified for Verizon Network is also available here. MD5sum: f847388dc9d4d3f9707923cdc8530efb

[Optimus V Android Development] bennettg:
Thanks.

What about default I/o scheduler?
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
mrg, did you tweak anything that could affect battery consumption in the 05272012 build of MiRaGe? After 28 hours of light use, my battery is at 75%. I've been running the SmartassV2 governor at 480/825 for the last five builds and the latest one is noticeably better.
[Optimus V Android Development] magus7091:
I use link2sd and when I first installed your previous build I tried without removing that file and with all applications linked (over 100 mb free), I couldn't even download TiBU.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I didn't do anything specific. I have not really been paying attention to battery since I am flashing too many kernels lately (3-4 times only today). Reboot, recovery, flash cycles are eating a lot of battery and I don't have any idea about the battery use in the last 2-3 builds.

Normally, I have 1.5-2.5% per hour battery use with moderate use without bluetooth and navigation. I keep location updates, gmail/email sync, wifi, data always on. So I am usually able to skip one night without charging.
[Optimus V Android Development] Archangel013:
After searching through the thread, I think I've confirmed my suspicions that this is confined to my phone, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case.

Is anyone else having trouble with SMS / 3G? Every so often, I'll find that texts aren't coming in. I'll send a text in the middle of a conversation and there won't be a reply (which is unusual for a conversation). Then I'll send a text to Google to check whether or not my texts are working (since Google's texting service is automated and immediate, I know that if I don't get a reply, the problem's on my end). Once I don't get a reply, I'll toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone, and after a few minutes, the missing texts will come in.

Is this a problem with the hardware or could it be software related? I'm running Jerry's latest ROM with the latest Green Recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
Pretty sure it's neither. I think it's on vms side. It happens on my wildfire and I'll have to send an extra text to get the first to deliver. Could be I miss interpreted entirely though.

@mrg666 I asked a few builds ago and didn't hear-back, but I may have missed your response... I'm getting the zero-bytes error for framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files in the UOT Kitchen again. Do you happen to remember what the fix was?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I think I had replied but anyway. That is a UOT bug. Sometimes UOT accepts the apk after several trials or at a less busy time of their server. I don't know any other fix.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Got it... thanks for the reply. Like I wrote, I must have missed your answer. For some reason I thought the last time this problem cropped-up, you changed something in the build...

Thanks, again!

Wow, this place has become a ghost town.. :( What happened to everyone?
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
Well cm9 is close to becoming stable (i think) and with the Evo and others coming out its bound to become empty.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Okay, so I own 2 $300 gaming headsets for my Xbox 360(Astro A40). They are the best gaming headset that comes ready "out of the box" for console gaming!

More or less, I'd like to know if anyone has an opinion of what justifies going from the OV to the $300 Evo. Is it like my Astro A40's? As in, there is a huge difference between them and anything else. Or should I just stay with my old, trusty, OV?

In other words, with the Astro A40's there is nothing that comes close for console gaming in every category, not even similarly priced headsets. Does the Evo share this value that makes it worth $300?
[Optimus V Android Development] magus7091:
I'm waiting for fully stable ics before I upgrade that. I owned an htc hero which was enough to make me loathe htc, not to mention my overwhelming lack of funds, as of right now I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention. That being said, at this time I have no intention of upgrading my hardware... All valid points though. It's just amazing how quickly this thread has gone from one of the most active to where it is now, one expects to see tumbleweeds rolling through here. So sad.

I still love you, my little faithful OV.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Is is sad. Especially when you consider how good this little device is for the price!
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
I should also add that the device has been discontinued.
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
I think a lot of us have also decided to upgrade. It's been a great phone that has been pushed way past it's capabilities by our awesome devs but its quickly becoming outdated and with the new VM phones discontinuing the grandfathered plans many of us have decided to leave now.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
I have to admit, the discontinuation of the unlimited full speed data and the failure to grandfather us in frustrates me.

Hey MRG

I've been trying to find a driver for the USB tether support on your latest build, resulting in a dead end.

[Optimus V Android Development] sickysticky:
$300 no.... the sgt2 is 250, and I personally think its with the $100 tab value

The evo will have a good foundation due to the vms customer base, plus every dev who will hck, root and exploit every unknown possibly.

Sadly enough, were with a whored out carrier that will only offer mid range devices, so if it will b worth the price......

Probably not, but by the time this new device becomes fully rooted, and have cm9, there will be a new dual/quad fire item on the market for the same price......like, the eliete, or the triumph.

[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Evo is a great buy for $300 IMO. Ics standard. Dual core processor. Plenty of internal memory. Plus it's rebrand so more than likely there's already roms for it. I'm going to get one as soon as I can afford it.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
So the question is are there any active developers still working on this? I'm confused cause all i see is stuff about other phones (which should be in their own thread) lately. Some of us can't afford new phones so I'll be very disappointed if this got dropped. Don't see any official post saying the ROM development has stopped?

If you have any solutions I would be glad to try, or volunteer as a guinea pig. I can post screenshots and/or logcat if you would like.

Somewhere amongst my selection of files I have a ROM and recovery dump from the new screen ov, and if you haven't installed a custom recovery, you can use ROMdump following the instructions here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...es-boot-recovery-and-system-partition-images/

to dump your ROM in it's current state. This includes your recovery. I would recommend root, titanium backup, factory reset, romdump and then nandroid. Then pull the recovery.img from your dump, zip up that and your nandroid, and you have all you need to return to stock. Just restore nandroid, reflash stock recovery, unroot, and you now now have a stock ov.

[Optimus V Android Development] magus7091:
@cd112

I've been running multiple roms and restoring apps and rarely have any issues. If you're running restored apps with data restored try fix_permissions from the terminal. If you are still having issues after that try clearing cache and dalvik and go through only restoring data on apps for which you need that data. Try reformatting your sd card, easy on the oc, and increase your processor minimum to at least 245 mhz if it's any lower. Try running a logcat to a file if it seems like it's getting ready to lock up and see if you can nail down any problem apps.

Or you could go along with a timeless saying: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Don't see why super su should be a problem though, but I'm not sure.

Flashed your ROM, and so far I'm liking it a WHOLE lot! Really responsive, and a teeny bit faster than the one i was using.

Music on lock screen

Hey, I was just wondering how easy it would be to throw music controls onto the lock screen. I know you can have it if you have the default one but I have the pattern lock with the regular one before it disabled (hope that made sense?). On a ICS rom I tried out they had that and it was really cool and i was wondering if it was something that could be thrown into this one or if there is a way to enable it that I have not already seen?

EDIT: To clarify, I have pattern lock enabled and "Skip on security" enabled so that I will not have to slide the tab and then put in my pattern. I know I can have it if I take off Skip on security or get rid of pattern lock but I don't want to do either.
