currently running cm7.2rc0 bobzhome 111911. i updated from a much older version of the same rom, 80302011. i have noticed significantly more app crashes and system lockups. a lot of lockups seem to be stemming from coming out of the lock screen. running go launcher and an ICS theme on CM7 and go launcher.

also, the big question. what the hell is happening with my battery? i get less than half the battery life out of my phone after i switched to this mod!! wtf?! i mean, i went from having my battery last nearly 2 days to lasting 12 hours or less!! any ideas?

im running all the same apps as before. i just updated my rom. this is a big bummer too since i love this rom. its so great but for the battery drain.
[Optimus V Android Development] manaurys:
i got the diddy beasts by dr. dre with control talk the up and down volume bottons dont work with this rom im using the latests mirage build

do you guys know any way to fix this please
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
The volume controls will work on an iPhone. You might be able to use 1 button to play /pause media and answer/hang up calls on android. The mic and earbuds should work fine otherwise.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Volume keys won't work with any remote on any headphones or earbuds, already tried a few different kinds, I got the same results. Personally I hate Beats Audio, it's just a franchise, but hey they were free so I see no reason in bashing the poor fellow :/

Anyways the middle button will work, just not the volume keys, that's more of an iPod function

Backups are so important! I got my first (real) computer in 1979 and it backing up data was

strongly

suggested, though for me even to this day I've been a slacker on this.

As a general rule I use Titanium to backup my installed (or "user" apps) and sync those with Dropbox. I also make a nandroid backup and copy that to my computer which then syncs online so that I also have a backup no matter where I'm at (as long as the internet is available to me). And I use redundancy with Dropbox, MS Mesh, and now I might set up some backups on Box (thanks brainwash1)

It's so easy to plug the Optimus into a computer, backup your data - again I don't do it every day and also I don't backup everything (sh*t I have a class 4 card right now, there's no way I feel like backing this thing up every day) but it just doesn't take anytime at all to at least make a copy of my nandroid every time I do an install.:D

[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
It probably was a bad flash, try re-flashing with wiping/formatting everything EXCEPT SDcard.
[Optimus V Android Development] ahiredgeek:
i did wipe [sorry so long]

i was going to try and reflash. when i flashed this the first time i wiped everything except the SD. i always do. i have heard people say they wiped the dalvik and cache two or three times out of paranoia. given what i know about how computers work, wiping even twice should be pointless.

is there a glitch in CWM that causes it not to wipe when you tell it to sometimes? or is it just paranoia?

i have flashed several mods and i always do the same thing. wipe cache, dalvik cache and then system data. then i flash rom and then gapps.

but, like you said, it could have just been a bad flash. but seriously...my whole battery in less than 9 hours. i clocked it last night. i have a battery monitor to see if its a rogue app, but i dont think it is. and i cant imagine that its my cell antenna or wifi. and my GPS is always turned off. crazy. i will reflash tonight then i guess.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I seem to get pretty good battery out of Bobz latest. I never really noticed what it did before I started romming it, but it always seems to last from 5am to 11pm. It might be on it's last leg by 11 but it still hadn't died. I just make sure to keep my data off when I'm not using it, keep my screen dim unless I need it bright, and close the apps when I'm done with them. I don't talk on the phone a whole whole lot though. Maybe an hour a day combined throughout the day? I do text a lot and I play a few games here or there(nothing graphically extensive), read for a few hours on the GReader RSS feeds. Check XDA about 8 times a day, check bank balance, CC balance, play solitaire a few hours, maybe watch a few videos, and surf the web. I do a little bit of a lot of things in a day's time and I think it holds up ok. I've never got 2 days out of a battery unless it had everything turned off but the radio and was sitting dormant unless it rang. If I did that though I think it would last longer than 2 days.

Enjoy!
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
I figured I'd post this so those who complain about battery life could see what a day of poor battery life looks like. I usually get 15-24 hours on a charge, in an area with very weak Sprint coverage. Today I ran 11.5 miles with Endomondo Pro and Google Music running. I received and ignored a call right where the vertical drop in charge is shown. Phone rebooted itself 2 minutes after I got home, which MiRaGe hasn't done to me in months. Pretty sweet.

What I'm going to do now is put in one of my 2 spare batteries and not worry about battery life. $12 on ebay for 2 batteries and a charger makes battery life not a problem. :p

Thanks, mrg, Blarf, Jerry, BobZ, et al for a great ROM/kernel. Makes spotty Sprint coverage at my house bearable, especially for $25 per month.
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
Update: mrg's secret sauce is refilling my battery. Awesome!
[Optimus V Android Development] dtowngs4g:
How do you get ur pc to recognize optimus cuz windows 7 refuses!
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
You need to install the drivers for your phone.

I used this one:

LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498CA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2_20101224.zip [Link from HOW TO: Root Optimus V (Virgin Mobile)]

Here's the official LG driver: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0
[Optimus V Android Development] MtDewFella:
Both Bobz's and mrg666's latest builds the gps icon won't go away once on, I hate to sound mean and petty, but what is so difficult about keeping that icon from showing when it's not supposed to, this isn't the first time this rom series have done that.
[Optimus V Android Development] ahiredgeek:
every time i download this and try to flash, it fails and says the zip was bad. the previous rom worked fine. i tried downloading to phone directly, to pc and copying over. nada.

any ideas?
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I installed it and it's working great. Maybe somethings happening with you sd card?
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I agree, its probably your SD, mines going crazy like that also, most oft backups don't restore (MD mismatch) and now my titanium backups are failing. I'm trying to hold out until after Christmas to buy a new one.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Does that on Jerry's sometimes to. I can get it to go away by opening maps (with GPS on) and waiting until the GPS symbol starts flashing then stops. After it stops flashing and is steady I exit maps with the back button. The GPS icon usually goes away at that point. Then I turn GPS off and all is well. Hope this helps!
[Optimus V Android Development] lllGurulll:
Just rooted and installed this ROM to my Optimus V and everything works great except gmail. For some odd reason it will NOT sync my gmail account or contacts no matter what I try. Just has a message on the screen telling me there is a sync in progress but after 24 hours it has never finished. I tried deleting the account but it wouldn't let me because it is tied to the market. I have also rebooted several times.

any ideas?

Oh, and I did search this thread but couldn't find anything that helped.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
You are more than welcome to look into the source code and determine what is so hard about it. ;)

We have posted the source code in 3 different repositories, anyone is welcome to build and contribute bug fixes.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Anyone know how to fix problems with mms? I've been having to run gosms and manually change the mms server just to send and recieve mms texts. It's been this way since i was running aosp.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Sounds like you might need to reflash. And no worries on the searching, this is the first time this issue has come up. Given that this is a first time issue, it seems that the issue is linked to your device only which most likely means you either had a corrupted download or just a bad flash.

I would recommend redownloading the rom and reflashing it. If that doesn't fix it then try a different IHO varient (i.e. mirage, backside, etc.) Let us know what works for you.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
What do you mean manually change the mms server? Which setting in gosms are you refering to?
[Optimus V Android Development] ahiredgeek:
I had those performance and battery issues. So, I erased everything and reinstalled the late November bobzhome release for the optimus V and, so far everything is tops! thanks for everybody help.

[update]

my phone was up for just over 8 hours and was only at 63%. i turned the screen on and navigated around for about 10 minutes, set the phone down...and it went from 63% to 59%, then a minute later to 58%. so, might still have a battery drain issue. but the force close and lag problems i had are completely gone!
[Optimus V Android Development] lllGurulll:
strangest thing. Gmail would not work while I was at home at all. When I arrived at work this morning the dang thing connected to our wifi and it synced right up. very odd. But, I am happy now.

Now I just have to figure out what is draining the battery.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I couldn't think of it last night, but i'm talking about the APN settings. For the first time in a long time, i was able to uninstall gosms and still get mms texts through default messaging. So i'm good to go now!
[Optimus V Android Development] ahiredgeek:
that could be resolved as easily as resetting your home network, starting with the modem and working down the line to any networking device attached.

i used to use vonage and if my power flickered, even at a little, it would bug out my vonage VOIP device. at that point i could still browse the web, except that it seemed to prevent me from accessing a small sampling of web services. a few of them being google, google+, gmail, google voice and gtalk. they wouldnt work again until i reset everything.

just a tip.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I've noticed the battery meter isn't updated when the screen is off. Once the screen is turned back on, it takes anywhere from 5-30 seconds for the actual battery level to appear. What you saw was most likely a result of this behavior.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I actually tried the Slider for a few days now, the battery life is crap compared to the OV and the OV still performs quite well in most cases. The Slider isn't quite ready for a hacked rom yet, might as well put it away for now. Oh by the way.. the battery on the Slider overheats way too easily. I miss MiRaGe roms, I'm switching back to the OV sometime tomorrow. CM7 makes a huge difference.
[Optimus V Android Development] dtowngs4g:
I downloaded the drivers. On the device manager it listed several lg icons. But when I select Connect to usb storage on phone, it goes through the motion then reboots. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
That's weird, I've never encountered that issue.. did you restart your computer after installing the drivers? If not wipe dalvik cache and cache on your phone and reflash the rom. If that doesn't fix the issue, you might need to perform a full wipe and try redownloading the rom, maybe you had a corrupt download. I'd redownload the rom and flash it first before trying a full wipe.

12102011 MiRaGe

I was not going to release this build but my curiosity has beaten my frustration and I had to fix the sound in video recording problem (yet again) in yesterday's build. It is uploaded now in the Wiki. Feel free to keep 12012011 build since this is not much different. I wanted to have a problem-free base to merge the new changes in CM7.2 final, phew! The few changes in this build are as follows.

- CM sync, there were only a few changes and some of them had to be reverted due to problems.

- SVGA and QVGA options in camera are removed since they were not working.

Thanks to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, Bigsupersquid, Whyzor, and the CM team.

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Your modified AudioFilter.csv fixed the sound problem in audio recording. That problem was resolved in the previous build without the modified AudioFilter.csv. The new commits in the framework_base brought the problem back and it is resolved with the AudioFilter.csv modification this time. Thanks!

Blarf, I have not see any sound problems with this modification. It works fine overall.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Make sure you're not on wifi either, that turns off the cellular data, which is needed for MMS.
[Optimus V Android Development] soleen:
Guys, thank you for updated BT, I did not have chance to test it in my car, but will send comments as soon as I am able to test it.

What should I include in my BT comments? Should I update bug report?
[Optimus V Android Development] Mellexx:
So are there any definitive reasons to switch to this over the now seemingly dead AOSP cmod rom besides it being on a newer source, how is the speed and battery life compared to using his? I'm considering switching because I have some issues with lag and lockups that has been going on for a while now with the last cmod rom
[Optimus V Android Development] soleen:
This ROM rocks compared to dead aosp, battery life is not worse, but may be even better!
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
huh :confused:

People still use AOSP's rom? This one is way better. Battery life is better. Much more smooth, camera works, hardly any lag, no random reboots, etc, etc,etc

The list could go on forever. This rom is a lot better and keeps improving with every release.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
If you keep going on like that, you're gonna make me wanna donate!! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
here you go http://pastebin.com/WB8kcawc

hoping this resolves other FC's. Get them fairly often on other apps (email, LauncherPro). Hope they're all connected.

Question about Green Machine Theme

When I use it Virgin Mobile changes to CyanogenMod on the task list and Green Machine (in place of Virgin Mobile) on the lock screen.

Is this suppose to happen? I see on your screen shots that yours displays the carrier correctly.

Thanks, love the theme btw.

getting a status 7 with CW 3.2.0 when trying to flash the latest build - any clues?
[Optimus V Android Development] Mellexx:
Well then it's settled, I'm flashing this :P Thanks guys I had no idea there were any alternatives out to AOSP's rom that was anywhere near as good
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
Now that both builds for the V listed use the r1 kernel is there any difference in functionality between the two? Should I keep with JerryScript's build since it's more recent? Is there something with KemikalElite's build that would draw me to it?
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
Went into market earlier and noticed a 'sprint' section. selecting just put me into a forever loading screen. Perhaps a market issue.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
So MMS is completely dead for me (and yes I have 3G turned on). I'm running the 7/30 version. I can surf the web and do anything 3G related, except send and receive MMS messages. I did a complete wipe and install and nothing. Before I did a factory reset I rolled back to the 7/27 and was able to send. I didn't get the chance to receive because for some reason I didn't even get the initial text message that asks if you want to download the MMS. Weird. Any help is greatly appreciated!

On another note, I tested BT and it seemed to work great! It was only for a minute though. I'll do more extensive testing later.
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
I'd strongly encourage trying out Handcent. I've sent and received MMS messages in the last 15-20 minutes using the app. And I have wifi enabled here in my office.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
The latest Green Machine Theme does not replace the Virign Mobile carrier name. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Status 7 usually means a corrupt download, try re-downloading the ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I think we missed something when we updated the build.prop and apns config files. Working on it now.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
So it seems to have randomly fixed itself. The person I sent the mms to got all three copies that I sent within a couple seconds. I was also able to receive the mms they sent me. Weird...
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
Are there more than 1 versions of the "GreenMachineTheme 07282011.zip" filename? I just flashed that one and still says Green Machine instead of VM. Not a big deal, just a personal preference.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Could you also post an MD5 checksum with your uploads? That way it'll be easier to check for corrupted downloads.
[Optimus V Android Development] dtowngs4g:
Well I guess I will reflash. But this is what I get when I download the LG drivers and connect phone via usb. Then I try to update driver for the unidentified device. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem.. Windows 7 x64.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Idk man it never showed up like that for me. Make sure USB debugging is on
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Idk about that screenshot its an odd one and is either a driver thing, phone Rom thing, or your phone is acting screwy. I have a few ideas but first

try wiping and reinstalling the Rom.

unplug it removing the driver package in add remove programs

next follow these instructions then go to device manager and check the show hidden entries box in the options and delete all grayed out lg entries in any of the device types. if you want you can go to town and delete all grayed out entries anywhere since it's stuff that was once on you computer, will be later & will get recognized by plug n play, or is volume shadow copy entries that aren't really there.

also remove USB entries (don't worry they'll get recreated after a reboot)

finish up with a program called usbdeview by nirsoft and remove all unconnected devices. This is all safe because usb devices get recreated on reboot via plug n play.

Finally, reinstall the LG drivers and plug into a different usb port than you used first.

That's my extreme usb driver cleanup method. this doesn't really delete drivers unless there are any buttons that say 'delete drivers' as well. Otherwise, it's just removing entries of previously recognized hardware. Also, USB drivers are installed per port so using a different USB port will install the drivers on it and it may work simply with that. If that isn't the problem then it's your phone or kernel/ROM on the phone. Plus, it's kinda cool to see what the show_nonpresent_devices command does.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
You have conflicting drivers. Uninstall ALL of them, then install just the ones linked to previously. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Help! My wifi completely stopped working :(

It's on and for some odd reason doesn't pickup any signal at all
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Yeah, the first 6 devices should be there but not all of the duplicates.

I agree it could be the phone but I would try deleting the drivers first (and rebooting the computer) before re-flashing since it's quicker.
[Optimus V Android Development] Alex_32571:
I couldn't get the drivers to work either, at first. Then I disabled USB debugging.

Now I can edit the SD card.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Update on the wifi issue: I wiped and reflashed MiRaGe, issue is resolved but idk what caused it to begin with..

Edit: it had something to do with my wifi access points backup on Titanium Backup
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
When I had this issue, I removed the saved access points one at a time. When I got to the the one that was causing the problem, my wifi immediately started working. I was then able to resave any passwords and everything has been fine since.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I noticed, that's what I did after I restored my access points because it bugged out again and that did fix the problem. Thank you for pointing that out
[Optimus V Android Development] Dralspire:
go to the wifi settings and add a network. Any network will do, e.g. ssid zzz and open type. Delete the ssid you just entered again. Problem solved.

link2SD and IHO upgrades

Sorry for the newbie question. I searched the thread and didn't find an answer.

I am running an older version of IHO and want to upgrade to a current version. I also want to use link2SD to gain some valuable application space on the device.

If I do a Nandroid backup as per wiki, will the applications that are installed on the ext partition by link2SD be backed-up?

In other words, can I assume I get everything back after the upgrade or do I have to reinstall the apps?

Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Depends on how you upgrade. If you wipe everything then yes you will have to reinstall your apps. If you use titanium backup that shouldn't be too difficult. If you just wipe cache and dalvik you should only need to relink the files, which means an extra reboot. Quick reboot doesn't seem to work. At least it didn't for me.

The n_visible1 has struck again! Mwahahaha!
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
Can anybody get their apps from the market restored after a complete wipe? I remember whenever I would connect my account all the apps I had downloaded would be restored but not anymore.
[Optimus V Android Development] abefroman:
Post deleted
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
That's weird, my phone automatically downloads my older apps after a wipe and flash, to be honest I wish it wouldn't do that.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
To my understanding, that's a google issue. When you see them start to download, just open market and stop all.
[Optimus V Android Development] willmon22:
I believe it is because you have the google account to backup and sync all your apps.
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
I haven't had that in a long time. I believe to fix this go into Settings/Privacy and untick the backup option. Secondly, if you sign in through the Welcome screen it might pull it in. Instead, I normally do the 4 tap trick to bypass said Welcome screen. You start at the bottom left corner and go counter clockwise tapping the four corners of the screen.
