My results turned out differently, it's one of the fastest roms I've used so far. The only time I ever had an issue was when I first tried installing it, maybe it was a bad download then but it never gave me any problems after installing 2.03. My only disappointment is not having the News & Weather app that comes by default.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
FYI

I noticed recently that when I go to cyanogenmod settings > lockscreen > widget options it always fc's on me (com.cyanogenmod.cmparts).

Finally thought to check my frozen apps and found that CalendarProvider.apk needs to be running to add/change the lockscreen settings. Haven't checked yet but I would guess that the clock & music must be available also - yet another reason not to uninstall certain system apps.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Does anyone know of a way to change the font of the clock on the lock screen? Preferably without having to change the system font in the process.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
I believe you can use an App like lockbot to do it but its an alternative lockscreen.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Thanks guys, I'll give Type Fresh a try.

Edit: It worked great, now the lock screen has the same font through out. Unfortunately, the stock clock app is still using the clocktopia font. No big deal though.

Is anyone else having a problem with phone freezing and random rebooting with the 1-20 build?. I

Also had phone on charger and it shut down on did not reboot.

Woke up and missed a few calls and my alarm.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
What is your CPU governor set to? Some settings don't play nicely with our device, I would usually stick to InteractiveX and occasionally Performance, usually with a max of 806 mhz and minimum of 480 mhz, never gave me an issue.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I downloaded and flashed it three times on a new Optimus V over the weekend and had a hellish of a time. The Phone would lock up or reboot every time I opened the picture gallery or google maps. The last two tries I didn't change any settings or install anything. It has the VM670NH recovery.

PS: How can I find out what screen the phone has?
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Do i need to wipe the phone completely when moving from bobzhome to jerryscript?
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
You could try just wiping cache and dalvik-cache. However, if you get any errors then follow the instructions on the opening post.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
If all other indications are the install went fine, and it doesn't boil down to an overclock issue, I would recommend using the fix permissions options in recovery.

[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
Loop devices don't seem to be created by the init scripts but you can use the loop devices like so:

mount -o loop,ro file.img /path

You can create loop devices if you need them using mknod, eg:

mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0

MiRaGe - 01232012

I have just uploaded the 01232012 build of MiRaGe to the Wiki. Synced with CM, minor changes in addition to followings.

- Allow custom snooze times for calendar reminders in Calendar.

- Backport ICS rotation animations to gingerbread

- ICS screen transitions

Tested on my phone and noticed that the screen transition and rotation effects are now like ICS and suprisingly smooth on OV. Everything else seems to be working as before.

Thanks to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, LeslieAnn, tdm, thekraven, bigsupersquid, Whyzor, and the CM team.

Enjoy!
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Was anything ever resolved on the transparent status bar thing? I mean how when it's set to transparent it only seems to stay that way on the lock screen (using launcherpro).

I did search a bit but didn't find an answer, thanks.

Not sure I should have Jerry's update checker - I find myself checking just way too much now! :eek:
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
Turn of the wallpaper hack and it works fine :)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
This is my face when I read the updates: :D

Glad someone added the ICS transitions to their rom!
[Optimus V Android Development] eep1:
Thanks for the update. Yesterday would have been good. Messed up my phone and had to wipe and reinstall. Looks like I get to again tonight. :p

I have it set to ondemand now, Performance put me in a reboot loop.
[Optimus V Android Development] willmon22:
Hello JerryScript, the rom itself is working great. Just I have noticed a few minor things that seem to not be working correctly. One thing I think would be vital is the speakerphone for internet calling with the built in sip support. It seems to work for a split second then just go back to handset. Also something that doesn't matter too much is the clock at the very top bar where the battery status is. It seems to not be there at all. I think it would be great to have it back unless there is some cool widget you can get built in that has weather and a clock on it. That would be awesome. Other than that this is by far the best rom I have ever used and I have used a few different ones. I hope this helps if I find more issues I will be sure to post them. Keep up the good work.

Note: I just looked at the status bar tweaks and apparently a clean install of the rom has the clock the incorrect color and you can't see it. So the default color of the clock or bar will need to be changed in the next update in order for it to be visible.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Go to Cyanogen Settings then Status Bar Tweaks...you go make the clock any color you want and even choose to have it in the middle or to the right in the VM default location. You can even change the status bar color to your choosing :)
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
The latest Backside has been working really well except for a fb around 2x per day. Does anyone know what kind of drain it would cause to leave a logcat running until the next fb? I suppose I could just try it but I think I'll wait to hear some replies. Also, notifications on the drop down still get stuck sometimes.

Thanks, now that you told me that I seem to remember seeing that idea before. Where do I turn it off? I don't necessarily like or dislike the transparency but just want to know.

I thought Jerry actually did that on purpose but I could be wrong.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
You turn off the wallpaper hack in

Settings>>ADW Launcher>>System Preferences>>Wallpaper Hack (uncheck it)

If something is force closing on a regular basis, it's most likely some app's background task.

Getting the mics worked out is something we are working on right now, but no promises. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Ok, that's why I couldn't find it (I mentioned in a previous post that I'm using LauncherPro - should I still launch ADW and uncheck the wallpaper hack anyway?)

And I agree that my phone is force booting because of some app, just can't figure out which one, that's why I am considering letting a logcat go until it reboots on me. Though now that I think about it that won't do me any good either because I don't think any of the logcat apps save a running log....
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
You can run logcat via terminal and save the output to logcat.txt on your sdcard. Open terminal and type the following, then press your Home key to leave it running in the background.

su
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

If you want to stop it before anything happens, open terminal emulator from the notification dropdown (or just launch the app again), open your keyboard (menu, toggle softkeyboard), then hold the Down_Volume key and press the c on your keyboard (that's cntrl+c) to stop the logcat. Exit terminal when finished. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
Shell redirection is subject to buffering. Since it's a pipe you probably won't have much buffered but it's something to consider.

logcat has a -f option to log output to a file directly and it bypasses buffering (it uses write, not fwrite). This would increase the probability of getting the messages you want onto media.

Also, if you have a way to capture data over a network, you might try piping the output to a socket created with "nc". This will typically provide better reliability. Sample:

logcat | nc otherbox 12345

On a Unix/Linux/MacOS box you can probably do something like this:

nc -l -p 12345 > logcat.out

I don't know offhand how to do this on Windows.

With VM changing to a 2.5 GB full speed data limit I have removed my credit card info from both phones and will not be continuing service through VM.

With that being said, I intend on using my VM670 as a WiFi only device... considering where I, and my girlfriend, use our phones 99% of the time this should be a non factor. Does anyone have any input of apps that could allow the use of WiFi to text & call non android phones? If this question is out of line, please inform and I will remove the majority of this post.

Cheers.

[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Ok thanks Jerry, I'll try it out this evening. I know in the grand scheme of things a forced boot isn't the end of the world but I'd like to know what's causing it - nothing like rebooting when I'm in the middle of a call or such.

--- Thanks to you also tdmcode
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Why does it matter that they are doing as every other carrier has done recently? If you use your phone near wifi "99%" of the time it shouldnt matter. I understand the principal of this, I just dont get why? You will not be affected.

That said GrooveIP and gVoice is what your looking for. Toodooles
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Flashed Jerry's newest and I'm still dropping both calls about 60 seconds after I pick up call waiting.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
The ONLY reason I chose VM was the Unlimited Data. Without that I have no interest in VM. So until I can afford to purchase TWO AT&T devices, as they have the best service in my area, I intend on using this 670 as a WiFi only device. Plus, in my own opinion, the way VM is going about this is Conglomerate Corporation bullying... and I will not pay to be bullied. No need to debate here. Thank you very much sir. I shall try those suggestions.

[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I setup gVoice (not Google Voice) on a friend's Optimus and it seems to work very well. Of course he has to make sure his wifi is always on when he wants to make/receive calls - I set him up with Wi-Fi Keep Alive (so the wifi stays on even when the screen goes out/phone "sleeps") but I'm sure there are other apps to do the same thing.

PS: by the way VM cut the unlimited data quite a while ago.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
OK I have to comment on this, so what your saying is you want to drop VM because of a data cap (which won't affect you) and go to a way more expensive plan that also has a cap, Just in spite? Farewell I guess

I dont want to fart up in blarfs thread but I cant let this go.

Im sorry you are a idiot. Simply put. ATT just tried to become the biggest mobile carrier by buying out T-Mobile. ATT was one of the very first data throttlers. When they started doing it there was no notice, nothing. ATT lost exclusive rights to the iPhone because they refused to spend the money to update the network. They refused to sell iPhone 3gs for several months in NYC because that areas network couldnt handle the load the phones put on them.

But believe what ever you want, Virgin is a huge corporation bullying people into throttled speeds. And ATT never did this...ya know please GTFO our network I for one think we are better off without a idiot like you.

Jerry, Blarf and other sorry about this.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Way to go champ. Feeling victorious?

Absolutely unnecessary. And to be very blunt... those comments would land you in an E.R. if you ever ran your pathetic mouth like that to me in person. ****ing troll.

Thanks to all others who actually provided positive input. I did not want a discussion or debate. Only wanted a short, simple answer.

The lack of unlimited data DOES affect me. But if VM is to throttle after a certain rate, I'm simply looking at AT&T due to it's similar data limit but better service in my area. But that isn't what I wanted information on. I'm simply interested in applications for WiFi Calling & SMS/MMS that are compatible with the VM670 AND with IHO ROMs. Hence why I posted/asked it here.

[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
I absolutely love this phone with these ROMs. Which is why I'm looking into alternatives before acting rashly. I'm really not interested in arguing.

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I believe this is the next iteration based on ath3no's Optimus S work, this is compiled specifically for the Optimus V with further updates and fixes, so it should be better.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:

[Optimus V Android Development] soleen:
I am wondering if it is time to add this ROM to ROM Manager? Thank you for the excellent work!!!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
There are no current plans to add to ROM Manager. Blarfie is just too good and fast at making bug fixes, wouldn't be able to insure a smooth update process via RM at this point in development.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Other way around. ;-)

ath3n0s was working off of my mods, but building for the Optimus S with the intent of slimming it down a lot. Jerry's doing the same thing, but for the Optimus V... but without paring it down as much.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Sorry my bad i misread the bottom of Jerrys post about the new v41 kernel

[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
I had the same bug, but I am on the $25 plan, a VirginMobile rep told me that if I were to change phones, they I would have to "upgrade" (lol) my plan to the $35 dollar one. Guess I saved $300 bucks.

But yes, with this and ath3nos' ROM I have no need for a new phone, the V seems like an upgrade with these roms, long live the 5th column!

Edit: Thanks blarfiejandro, I e-mailed them since the website says one thing and the rep I spoke to said another. The website is correct, if you signed up before July 20th you are grandfathered into your current plan until you change it.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Please do. Also, will you eventually get the instructions to only format & wipe everything on the phone if we're installing this ROM for the 1st time? Other ROMs were getting to the point where you didn't have to wipe everything under the sun on subsequent updates.
[Optimus V Android Development] soleen:
Slim down version is a good idea. But please do not remove multi-language layout support: I like to type in several languages. aosp removed it at some point and it was very hard to use his ROM since that, since I enjoy using the native gingerbread keyboard.

Thanks for the awesome work!
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Glad to hear you like the ROM... but the rep was wrong. Virgin's site says you can pick up a new device and you'll be grandfathered on the old plan.

Other ROMs are more stable. At this point, for the most part, you could probably get away with not wiping anything... but if you file a bug report or post about a bug and haven't tried a full wipe first... it'll get ignored.

I started from Zefie's source for the LS670 which is actually partitioned differently from a VM670. So... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if improperly sized root/system images were causing some interesting upgrade problems.

Great reason to build your own. :D

I've installed this Backside rom and really love it. It's smooth running and the tiny little details like the notification bar, the little android there when you pull it down. That's just one of a few that I noticed. Sucks that the Mass USB storage isn't working, But I'm sure that'll be worked out down the road. Nothing that putting the sd card in the computer can't fix. Yeah, I highly recommend installing this rom. Thanks guys... I'll donate payday!! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
USB mass storage support is the one thing thats holding me back from trying this out. I don't have a card reader in my PC.
[Optimus V Android Development] yogi-4:
Well you could back-up your current phone, then flash this one. :D I did forget to mention that the boot animation is awesome and that ADW is the default launcher. I uninstalled that and restored Go Launcher. After restoring everything from titanium backup, a few of my live wallpapers run alot smoother now.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
You're not the only one. I had the same issues. Went back to ath3nos and everything works great. One note is that the rom worked better after I installed clockwork recovery. I originally used xionia.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Which apps? I'm mucking around with Words With Friends, and even after blocking all the Zynga crap it's still got a horrible half-baked interface, and yeah it's slow for me. I haven't actually gone in to play a game, but I haven't gotten it to crash.

Specifically, which apps after a full system, data, and cache wipe, reinstall, and stock clock speed crash for you.

I've set some aggressive task scheduler settings in the kernel which /may/ make overclocking more difficult. I'm sure there are plenty of other little differences between the kernels, but try XioniaRedux kernel and see if it works better for you (that'd be the primary difference right now between BACKside and Drew's stuff). Or try the old Zefie kernel that ath3n0s was using. If neither of those help, it's almost certainly a regression of some sort in CM. If one of those kernels does end up helping, it's something for me to look at with the IHO kernel.
