Hello Bob, Jerry, mrg666, tvall, LeslieAnn can any one of you help me with the tools i'll need to decompile/recompile Kernel/boot.img i wanna see if i can get the USB Driver back in the Kernel/boot.img im good at Drivers i just can't get my hands on the tools to decompile/recompile, so plz Help me out and if i can get it working i'll post the fix thanks :).

look at the "Note" hope it helps you out.

I didn't look at the not but I did some digging and the file of the boot animation is called April fool's.zip hahahaha. I feel dumb.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
you'll need the kernel source (obviously) a toolchain (I use the one in the prebuilt folder in the android repo) and a way to install the kernel (putting it in an update.zip, or using unpackbootimg and mkbootimg commands to make a boot.img). I could explain how to build, but ill leave that to the real devs to explain.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikesting:
ok cool thanks for some info on it I very much appreciate it, maybe Bob can send/link me he's kernel source if not it's cool.

I've also been using it for a while now, but still get these stupid invalid package errors.

I've tried thus one, too, and usually get stuck without the program for a while because even after I uninstall the reinstall gives the same error.

Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about:

I used the guide here to start.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You are using link2sd, right? Did you recreate the mount scripts with link2SD after first boot (and reboot)? You also need to relink dalvik-cache and libraries via link2sd after second boot. If you did these and still see the problem you are reporting, the problem is specific to your SDcard, phone, or your methods. I would go back to a clean wipe and restart flashing a custom ROM while double checking the methods I use step by step.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Never relinked the libraries before... looks like that was most of my problem... I still am getting a few invalid package errors--for example, Google Maps--but as I understand it, time is usually the cure there, correct?

Also, my Amazon App Store will still not update...

Thanks, as ever, Mr. G.

Well, seems i found out how to resolve the issues i was having. Guess with all the updates something got screwed up.

Had to do a complete wrote and reinstall of IHO.

Problems are gone so far.
[Optimus V Android Development] bananaboat23:
nope. toggling wifi does nothing: 3g icon stays on the phone and nothing happens.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
If a complete wipe/format of boot, system, data, and cache, and a wipe of dalvik-cache, all in recovery, then reflashing the ROM and gapps, if that doesn't fix it, then it's a hardware issue. Either your router, a neighbor's router, or your phone's wifi chip.

Don't qoute me on this but I think I remember hearing somewhere that they were being used in cm9.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
I'd advise this. I started getting REALLY weird symptoms with my phone. Hard freezes, wifi issues, camera glitches, etc that just got worse with each update. Guessing that at some point an update wasn't done properly or something and each time i updated afterwards it got worse with more things affected.

A complete wipe fixed it for me.

tvall i see in your new update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-thunderc_VM670-KANG-3.4.12.zip

you have Kernel version 2.6.32.9-IHO-r1.2 is it a new one? or is it just Bobz Kernel with a new name?

i see in available governors is got 5 options

but Bobz is got like 7 or 8 available governors options

so im just asking why your back on it if it's older.

but my cellphone works better with it.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Try my latest update. I recently switched computers and forgot to backup my iho stuff. I need to learn how to use git.

That looks like the old iho kernel. Must have uploaded the wrong rom. The latest one should be fine.

edit: thanks for pointing this out. i forgot to switch the kernels. building again now, will post when done.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikesting:
just so you know the kernel is good in "iho magpie"

i just put the boot.img from "iho magpie" in "KANG-3.4.12.zip" and reflash it and all looks good.

ok cool thanks for building again to fix it.

no problem :) just happy i can help out some.
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
Lol, I quoted you.

But I believe that you are confusing the adreno 2xx upgrade with the adreno 2xx ICS qualcomm official driver update.

They COULD be the same thing (I don't dig through libs). But one is officially supported by qualcomm and the upgrades just something that was found on HTCMania around the same time.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times--likely a thousand by me alone--but what causes my internal memory to be used up if almost all my apps--7 use internal memory--are installed on my sd card?

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
One thing that'll do it is app caches, depending on the app. For example, i play Pocket Legends and used the Spacetime Studios forum app. I kept losing tons of space. After going through all my apps, i saw that the forum app cached almost 11 MB. I, since, deleted, installed Tapatalk and added Spacetime Studios to that. In summation, check your app caches because that can really add up, depending on the app.

Sent from my AlienFusion-VM670 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Sounds like you and I are thinking along the same lines... One of the first things I do when I get the low memory warning is to clear all caches; this time the issue persists.

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Open up the terminal and run the following command

Check the amount of space is left in /data and /cache. And determine what part of internal memory is filling up.

Then, run ESFileExplorer to go those directories and find what is using that much memory. You can also check the size of each individual directory from the terminal with the following command.

directory_name is the name of the directory. You will need to run su to get superuser permission before using du command in system directories.

Another possible place to clean up is /data/system/dropbox (not related to the cloud app). Select all of the files in that directory and delete all of them, reboot. There will be hundreds of files.

Caution! manually deleting files from internal memory is very risky if you are not careful. Don't do this if you are not sure.

You will figure this out yourself, since your usage style is filling up the space. I have never seen such kind of a problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
ES tells me my /data folder is empty...

I'm not sure what I'm doing differently than everyone else... :confused:

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I didn't mean that you are the only one with space problem. But there many solutions and many causes for the space problem. I recommend trying the terminal commands in previous post and find what is filling up your /data and/or /cache to solve this problem.

Your /data cannot be empty otherwise the phone wouldn't work. Let's forget about cleaning /data/system/dropbox. Did you go to the ESFileExplorer settings and enabled Root Explorer option?
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Sorry,I didn't mean to imply no one has space problems, I'm trying to understand why there are *ever* space problems.

It would seem from the commands my problem is with /data filling up, not with /cache.

Instead of ES, I just used Root Explorer, which I prefer, and deleted all the files in /data/system/dropbox, rebooted, and still only have around 20mb of internal; is that normal with only seven apps installed on the phone?

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Only seven apps installed on the phone does not mean other apps installed are not using the /data or /cache. Actually, all of the apps, either in internal or external memory, can use both /data and /cache for storing settings, downloads, libraries, databases, cache, etc. at the developers discretion. For example, K9 mail keeps the downloaded emails in the internal memory if you don't use the option in its settings to use external memory. Will you find out what is in /data or /cache taking that much space?
[Optimus V Android Development] glarepate:
Do you use the News & Weather widget? I set mine to pre-download articles and pictures and was out of memory in no time.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
That makes sense...

I tried the du method, but that only tells me raw mb usage and not which program is storing the most data; I'm unfamiliar with ES and can't seem to figure out how to make it do what you want me to make it do...

No, I don't...

[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Does anyone know if the Cyanogenmod brightness control 'Auto' does anything on our phone? I'd assume this would adjust brightness based on an ambient light sensor which I assume our phone does not have.

Setting can be found under Cyanogenmod Settings, Interface, Notification Power Widget, Widget Buttons and choose Brightness as a notification widget then down near the bottom of the Widget Buttons screen you can choose which brightness levels it can toggle (Auto, Dim, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).

I'm guessing Auto doesn't do anything?

[edit] from this website it doesn't look like we have an ambient light sensor since it's describing settings inherent in the phone that would have to be available.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
That is correct, the oV doesn't have a light sensor. When I (accidentally) enabled it the status bar brightness control wouldn't work and it was hell to get it disabled. The reason it's still there is because it's in the base of Cyanogen mod.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I know how hard it is :) You can use the Auto Brightness Switch app next time to easily disable accidentally enabled auto brightness. Thanks to thekraven who pointed it to me first.

[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Why should it be included in a ROM that already allows you to allow/deny individual permissions to apps?
[Optimus V Android Development] ganggreen30:
I was wondering what that was for. Whoops sorry I just don't know how to use it ud think after all these years of droids I'd know but can u help me with the directions on how to change those permissions Jerry? Thank u.

Jerryscript backside iho 4/1/2012 OV.
[Optimus V Android Development] sayno2quat:
First, you enable permissions management in CyanogenMod Settings->Application->Permission management.

Then, you go to your application's settings page (where you would uninstall it, clear cache, etc). The bottom portion lists all the permissions. Simply click on a permission, and it will be crossed out, signifying that the permission has been revoked.

The app still thinks it has that permission, though, so if it tries to use it, the app will likely crash.

Baseband/PRL

I have been running this rom for a few months (Great job by the way!!!) and am now in an area where signal is subpar. I wanted to check if this rom was compatible with the new baseband (should work with other PRL's right?). I have the CWM recovery 4.0.1.5 if that helps (I know it stopping me from getting my MSL, good thing I copied when I set up the phone). I am not sure what hardware version I have, but I think it’s the first one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! or links to a how-to on the baseband.

Wired ear piece volume to low

Hey, I think I have run across a bug. I use a wired ear piece/head set for phone calls (when I need my hands free). For some reason, every head set I try.. the in call volume is about 1/2 of what is should be. Music playing is clear and ear drum blowing loud. Is anyone else getting this bug?

It seems to have erased all user data--e.g., usernames, passwords, etc.--without a full factory reset, so all the apps are still installed. I went from ~20mb of space in /data to 70mb+ with 122 apps installed (according to TitaniumBackup).

I had a hard time finding a headset myself. The stock one works fine (volume) but I just can't/won't use it because the earbuds suck. I found that many headsets didn't give me any real volume during phone calls - no prob for music though.

I wanted to let you all know tvall posted a kernel based off of Bobzhome's 3.7 kernel but including a few performance tweaks including some tweaks from a p500 kernel.

been working on a kernel using a select few patches from what appears to be the kernel for that rom. anyone wanna test? (if it works without issues it'll be the kernel used in my rom) its currently compiling

Tvall- changes for anyone who cares:

bobzhome's kernel +:

-ck2 patchset (personal preference. improves latency and experience on desktops and other user devices)

-bfs cpu scheduler (from -ck + a fix for android)

-bfq and sio io schedulers (sio default, what is used in the p500 rom)

-handful of patches from the p500 kernel. (the few that cleanly patched)

Also, this kernel is now included in my iho-magpie rom from the 11.4.12 release on.

Hey devs/gang... been thinking about my previous space issues and was wondering if I could just symlink my /cache and /data to my sd card, which has plenty of room. Would it be as simple as removing /cache and /data, mkdir-ing new /sdcard/cache and /sdcard/data, and linking to them? That is,
