WRT battery life, I find that turning off mobile data (using the Cyanogenmod Power Widget accessible when pulling down the notification bar) has the greatest impact. I can leave wifi on at all times and then only turn on 3G data use when I want/need it and I have extended my battery life by around 3-4 extra hours before I get warnings. I'm only away from wifi when I'm in the car (looking for directions or using navigation, which needs 3G for map tiles) or at certain locations where I might want internet when I don't have wifi access, so for my usage that works out well. someone else that might only have wifi access at home would probably be better off turning off wifi when not at home and leaving 3G on all the time.

Moral of hte story: only enable the radios you want.

Also, I wonder how accurate mmarz's research is relating to wifi power usage. Those are all pretty old Gingerbread ROMs in the spreadsheet, so if any of the current ROMs have better wifi idle power usage, the exact numbers aren't nearly as useful as they were back in April.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I don't add/modify anything in the builds. They are pure vanilla IHO-CM7.1, as Blarf intended. AFAIK, Jerry adds themes, removes some idle code, tries some experimental fixes that are not in IHO repository yet. Please check his posts, and the second (or third) post in this thread.
[Optimus V Android Development] larrycl:
Anyone else using Blarf's IHO recovery rather than one of the clockworkmod ones?

I was using Xionia and had some weirdness. Based on what I read here, I realized I need to move to a different recovery. I tried clockwordmod 3.2.0.1, but for some reason it wouldn't back up (nor mount) my sd-ext partition (which is formatted as ext2).

I flashed the IHO recovery and it backs up my sd-ext partition no problem at all. My only question is: is this recovery safe & reliable to use?
[Optimus V Android Development] bleichtman:
Where can I download the vanilla version?
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
I heard about that same problem when I was build for the Ascend. For some reason CM7 builds do not transfer MMS to iPhone's, but I believe(not 100% sure) iPhone's to CM7 worked.

Yep, personal preference for me because, I like to use LauncherPro SenseUI which make my OV look like an HTC. see:
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I'm not qualified to say whether it's "safe & reliable"--but I've used it 8 or 10 times, with no problems that I've noticed...
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Interesting. I'd've thought it'd be the other way around. In any case I've uploaded .3 of the IHO recovery which should hopefully give you guys an easier time mounting sd-ext. Feedback is appreciated of course.
[Optimus V Android Development] larrycl:
hmm, well, not sure what happened but after running a nandroid backup using the IHO recovery, I just lost my entire FAT32 SD card partition. :eek:

And, stupid me, I am currently traveling so I don't have a recent backup on my pc.
[Optimus V Android Development] joryb:
does the new backside rom fix the belkin wifi issues, bobzhome works fine with wifi.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Were you using cmw 2.1.0.1? It has problems with backing up and mounting sdext, use blarfs new recovery next time
[Optimus V Android Development] larrycl:
My SD card corruption was using blarf's recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Well before you do anything with the card make sure it's not just the partition table that got messed up or the data2ext or whatever scripts that need to be re-run.

How was your SD card set up before?
[Optimus V Android Development] larrycl:
Just spent a few hours investigating with Easeus Data Recovery Wizard (great program, by the way). Lots messed up on my card including the partition table. Many, but not all, files corrupt and/or lost. Fortunately, was able to recover quite a bit but not everything.

Blarf, I am not 100% sure it was the IHO recovery; I don't think I did anything stupid but I am not sure what happened to cause this.

SD card before had two partitions: first one was 6.25Gb Fat32; 2nd was 750Mb ext2. The ext2 partition seems fine.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Random corruption would seem to indicate a problem with the card. If you can duplicate this with a different card, please let me know.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I have just uploaded 08102011 build of pure IHO build to wiki. Changes are here.

Blarf pushed r1.2 kernel with WiFi tweaks. WiFi seems to be a little better on my phone. Please test and post your feedback.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Just missed another bugfix. Can you also confirm that the md5 sum for the kernel you've got ends in 89aa4? Thx.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
This bug is now fixed. In the future (and I'll update the wiki to reflect this at some point) when you think you've found a bug:

1.) Check the bug trackers (IHO and CM)

1a.) If you find a bug matching your description, add constructive information like a test case, specific build, etc (not just me too). Re-open if necessary. Done.

1b.) If you don't see that, continue to the forums.

2.) Check with other forum members to see if anyone can reproduce the bug.

2a.) If yes, open a bug report with pertinent details.

2b.) If no, consider what it is about your configuration that may cause such a problem (the forums are a great resource for this).
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Has anybody noticed the camera and camcorder has a white background. Its on jerrys 08082011 build without theme. Nevermind it was negative setting was on.
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Okay Jerry's 08082011 build is awesome,like the bootsound. And mrg666 08102011 is pretty good to,I have it on my OV. Great work Guy's. Love the IHO roms.
[Optimus V Android Development] moonknightus:
Did a complete wipe this morning due to some crashes, and the wifi bug is back with your experimental build! The only thing I did different this time was to disallow the startup wizard to "restore" my "apps and settings" to the phone. I fear that it may have restored my static ip settings and that may have been what ACTUALLY fixed the issue when I tested. My apologies for a false positive. Switched back to Bob's last build and WiFi is working (without static IP).

I have tried using WPA and WEP to "secure" my WiFi and also tried using no security. This is not a problem of connecting to the router so much as the phone disconnecting randomly.
[Optimus V Android Development] moonknightus:
Today's (08/10/2011) build with Blarf's WiFi tweaks did not fix the wifi bug. So far, the only reliable fix appears to be in BobZhome's last build.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
New build of BACKside-IHO is ready. Several changes to try out:

-Sound always playing through the speaker regardless of settings has been fixed

-BobZ's wifi fix included and another small tweak (if this build fixes issues, wifi bug should be fixable)

-Updated to Blarf's newest kernel r1.2, tweaks for battery and performance

-Camera exposure mostly fixed, default value may still be too dark

-Removed bootsound for now due to overwhelming requests ;) , but you can enable it using eollie's script.

BACKside-IHO-VM670-08102011.zip

If you have time for one last test, we may be able to finally squish your bug. I have included BobZ's ip_renew patch and taken out the other patch I used in my experimental builds. Please let us know if it works so we can submit a pull request to Blarf.
[Optimus V Android Development] LeslieAnn:
I beleive this, or something similar, was what MMMark111 (Rodimus and Romtools creator) was working on when he killed his phone. It's not something to take lightly. It's probably possible, but it's risky. Even if you do, you still have to make it idiot proof for everyone else, and trust me, THAT, is hard to do.

That was what I was trying to understand, thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Please don't do this, it's not the problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
There's a relatively common problem with some Intel desktop/notebook chips that precludes them from maintaining a reliably connection with pretty much any WAP at 802.11g speeds with WPA/WPA2 enabled. That's not the case here.

I am, FWIW, seeing ~1% battery drain per hour @ 245-729MHz with the phone mostly sleeping and WiFi+3G on. Yeah it'll get worse if you actually use the phone, but so far I'm happy.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
What fingerprint are you using?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Oops, misread the message on github as I was gathering the changelog, saw you and mik talking about the p500 fingerprint. Will fix the changelog. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] moonknightus:
Testing...

EDIT: All seems good. Going on 25 minutes with no problems.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the md5 sum of zImage for VM670 ends with 89aa4.

Edit: By the way, I will build another snapshot tonight. If you want, I can wait for your PM to start building so that the build gets all of your fixes for testing.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
Doesn't happen to be a mistype in the md5 for 0810 backside is there? Mines showing 'feec' but one listed says 'feed'
[Optimus V Android Development] baturcotte:
Question...this build is showing as 63MB as opposed to 83MB for the 08082011 build...is it one of your slimmed down experimental builds, and if so, do you plan on posting a full build (or are you no longer going to do the larger builds)?
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I flashed your build last night (didn't get the speaker fix), but just wanted to say thanks and report no problems so far.
[Optimus V Android Development] bleichtman:
Was the issue with not hearing calls through headset and the Mic issue fixed?
[Optimus V Android Development] crpeck:
I flashed BACKside-IHO-VM670-08102011.zip this AM just before heading out. I have Wifi at home & work - both work fine. The Bluetooth seems to be completely fixed, I paired with the Handsfree in my car, called my office & left a voicemail - all the talkie was clear as could be. I used the GPS to Navigate to my appointment this AM, it worked fine as well. Email & Calendar connected to Exchange fine, both over Wifi and via 3G. Seems pretty responsive as well.

I've taken to using a script on my Linux box that pushes changes over to the phone right after I flash now - replacing ADWLauncher, adding the recent Market, and, some other Apps into the /system/ area, my own RingTones, and, whacking some of the stuff I'll just never use or need. I gotta sit down and learn how to build flashable zips, but, this script hack works for now.

Looking good folks, we've (you've) come a long way in the past couple of weeks.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Following up from my previous post for 08102011 build, I have updated the build to include the fix for sound output which I narrowly missed yesterday night. Also, the builds are ~9MB smaller now since I have switched to a smaller language set. Blarf, this should not interfere with testing your changes but please let me know otherwise.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You have it now with the updated build. The download is a little smaller now :) It would be great if you could test and report since I don't have a headset with cables.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Good eye, I fixed the typo, thanks!

d8ce1e2cf40eddef4cfeec3fbb7849da
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Been fixed for a long time now.

Heads up: VMU says there's a data outage somewhere.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
It is slimmed down, I removed wallpapers, ringtones, and replaced the LatinIME with a smaller version. Only thing experimental is the wifi fix which shouldn't affect anyone who didn't already have wifi issues, and hopefully fixes it for those who do.

Thanks for testing it out! Flashable zips are pretty easy, just google windows apk signer, then look through a few flashable zips and read the updater-script files.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
Weird issue, haven't checked if it's still reported, when phone is plugged into stereo I hear the call come in and them speaking but they can't hear my through the phones mic. This worked in, at least, the first build for Backside but doesn't work in the last few. Anything changed that could have caused this to stop working?
[Optimus V Android Development] baturcotte:
Sorry, but not sure you got the second part of my question...are you planning on having this be the forward-moving basis of the Backside ROM, or are you going to continue to release a version with all the so-called "bloat" in it? (I know a lot of people have called for a slimmed down version, but I prefer the full sized version myself...).
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
Found it comical. You left livewallpapers.apk in there but removed the livewallpaperpicker.apk lol.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
@baturcotte: I'm trying to cut the size down a bit, mediafire won't be happy with me soon. ;)

@kreatur3: It was late, I selected the wrong one before clicking delete, oops! If anyone with the 0810 build needs the livewallpaperpicker.apk, I can post it.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Github will host ~300MB with the free plan.
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
Since my min and max are the same, governor doesn't matter. :p

Regarding how it affects hardware life cycle, I honestly can't answer. I'm by no means an expert; I'm just parroting what I've read on various parts of the interwebs. All I know is that, according to mmarz's thorough tests, overclocking on the Optimus V is good for performance and isn't going to affect battery life negatively (and in fact may have a small positive effect).

@DeerSteak: that's a good point about the wi-fi power usage. Some of the stats may be outdated by now due to bugfixes, but I would think the overclocking bits are still helpful.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Almost. If you want a static CPU frequency choose either the performance (max) or powersave (min) and you'll eliminate all the nasty logic that goes into the other governors. No idea how much performance you'd actually gain by doing that, but it won't hurt if what you're after is a static CPU frequency.
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
WiFi looks good on this and on the last GreenMachine Rom, great work.

Did you happen to remove the boot up sound, the android_audio.mp3? I put one in the system\media folder but no sound on boot, just wondering if the feature was removed or if I need to rename the file something else.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
hi, just wondering if there are any plans to add this ROM to the Kitchen list. it would save the trouble of uploading files everytime you cook a theme.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
yes he removed the script.

If you dont have it already here is the link.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10373328/bootsnd.sh

type the following in terminal
su
cd /sdcard
sh
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot

If it still doesnt work look in your build.prop, the last line should have this only once if it is there more then once delete all but on instance.

ro.config.play.bootsound=1

I suggested to Jerry on AC to leave the script but just remove the bootsound from the /system/media folder. That way if people want to add a bootsound they can just put the mp3 in the /system/media folder. If this is something you would like let him know.

Also if you want a bootsound but dont know how or really wanna mess with creating one. PM me and Ill see what I can do.
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
Followed those steps, the line was in there only once, sound not playing. It really doesn't matter, probably best not to have a sound there anyways.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
kernel display drivers

um, blarf, there's a new wrinkle showing up with the optimus v.

since I don't have the hardware to replicate the issue, I'm not posting a github issue, but here's the gist of the problem.

a user on android central posted he was getting black screen with custom roms, sound and adb work but absolutely no display, unless he was using xionia 13 or 14 kernel by zefie. xionia recovery is the only one which didn't blank out on him, and it also uses the xionia kernel.

when zefie was still actively dev'ing on the kernel for the optimus, sprint released a new screen type with a different driver than the V's lg kernel source (and older S source as well) supports. He patched in the VD baseband kernel display drivers into Xionia kernel to get rid of the blackscreen problems caused by the lack of proper drivers. the newer drivers don't cause any conflicts with the older hardware, and fix the blackout on newer hardware.

this may be necessary soon for v kernels since it looks like virgin is now issuing refurbs with the newer display hardware. hope you're up to it!
[Optimus V Android Development] Hyeagley:
I noticed with this ROM market now has sprint apps how does this work? Is it just a modded market or does it actually change something to confuse the market into thinking it's a sprint phone?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Yeah that shouldn't be too scary. I'd encourage that user to post /here/, and if enough other people run into the same problem then it would be appropriate to open a Github issue (and I'll look into backporting the driver at that point). I know the P500 guys have had a bunch of quirks to deal with as far as the display and touchscreen go so I'm hesitant to tweak what works really well IMO.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Another problem I seen on another forum many months ago was the mp3 file was not named properly.

When renaming your file dont rename it android_audio.mp3, just rename it android_audio. Make sure tho that the format is .mp3. I would bet many people have a file named android_audio.mp3.mp3 and it will not play.
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
Wow, I have ran into that problem. It happened to me while i was on a call. I was pretty freak out at first but after i rebooted the screen was back to normal. It has only happened to me once though.
[Optimus V Android Development] crpeck:
You're right - flashable zips are very easy - a little google, and, I had one built in about an hour. I did leave the 'windows' part out, I don't run that on anything I have, strictly an old unixdude. I have a little shell script that creates the final signed zip, now I need to decide what I want in it and script it up so it's a little more automagic.
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
Had a problem with this where my phone wasn't charging :( had to revert back and tried flashing again but didn't work still
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
I'm so loving this ROM, you guys. Excellent, excellent work!

My one complaint remains Bluetooth. I just added a comment on the bug report on github. Is there anything I can do to help apart from describing bugs, blarf? Do you, say, need a headset to test it on? I might be able to scrounge up some cash for one if that's the case...
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
got it working, blarfie. the partition software I was using wasn't doing it for me. Once I formatted w/ gparted it started getting recognized.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
using the MOD from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902395 it moves your /data partition to a partition on your SD card. and mine is 512MB
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
Ok so I redownloaded this thinking maybe I got a bad copy. Went into recovery wiped everything from boot,system,data,cache, delvik cache, and system/data from main recovery. I then flashed this rom then gapps then green machine. Fixed permissions for good measure and still my phone wont charge..... it shows its charging but the battery just keeps draining... any ideas
[Optimus V Android Development] 5starG:
Punk is it worth doing?

War I have been having the same problem with phone phone for two weeks it started on aosp's rom
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
I was on the ath3nos before this and it worked fine. This rom is the only one I've had an issue with, were you able to fix it
[Optimus V Android Development] rpgrini:
Best rom yet for ov. Even plants vs zombies works. Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
Wait, was PvZ not working on the other ROMs you've tried? So far I've found it works best on Bumblebee. Both AOSP and Ath3no's have issues where you can't see things on the screen and weird stuff like that. I would assume that this ROM would have a similar problem... unless the kernal fixes that?

Either way, I'm really excited about this being Optimus V focused and I'll be checking up on this every few days. :) I see great things in this roms future!
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I can stick some extra debugging stuff in there and try to get the right information from you... but... I honestly don't know /where/ the BT audio is broken. Having a BT headset (or BT integration for my car... lol) helps me work a lot faster.

I may hijack my friend's car this weekend... or if all goes well I may just take the weekend off :-P
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Does PvZ work with other phones that come from the factory with Gingerbread ROMs (or even the Optimus S with the factory GB update)?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Both of you are having problems charging? Interesting. Does it charge in recovery? Are you charging from your computer or from a wall charger (does the phone say AC or USB?)?

My guess is that you're running something that's drawing more power than the phone can get from your charger (and it wouldn't necessarily take much for that to happen, especially if you're on a computer or a non-powered USB hub).
[Optimus V Android Development] rpgrini:
It never worked right on asop and athenos for me but it works perfect on this one. I didn't like bumblebee because of the green line on netflix. My kids love netflix in the car.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
even though i usually swap batteries from an external charger i have tested charging and it seems to work fine with both my batteries on the last three builds of this ROM. so not sure what your issue is..... just went from 46 to 48% in about 9min. using pc USB port. also tested with AC USB port on past builds and that seems functional as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] 5starG:
Happens on wall and USB on 3 different computers even happened on a fresh flash with nothing done to the Rom.. I just got my new battery and am waiting for my new cord to come in to see if that will fix it
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
I'm using the USB cord attached to my computer. I used a task killer to kill all apps. And it was still draining battery power.

On ath3nos I can use a Comp to charger and it works fine. But as soon as I flash this Tom. It doesn't seem to want to charge
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Any chance one of you with charging problems could give us a logcat? Start logcat, then plug in your charger, wait at least 10 minutes (try not to do anything with the phone so the logcat isn't huge), then unplug it, and wait another minute before stopping logcat.
[Optimus V Android Development] 5starG:
Watz logcat??? Haven't used it before but I could try if it is easy to set up
[Optimus V Android Development] jralabate:
