LOL probably not. It was probably to get it out on the Verizon 4G network as fast as possible, so they are still relevant. I love the phone, but never hear anything about it. Everything is about Samsung, which is a nice phone, but I hated the Moment, and the Transform even more. I had a Galaxy when they first came out, I loooove the screen, but really, does my porn need to look that realistic? I am an avid movie goer, so anything smaller than a 32 inch screen drives me nuts. Or you hear about HTC, which granted, started it all. I liked my Desire, but if I need to be a rocket scientist to modify my phone... Plus here US Cellular didn't have 3G. And then there is Apple.

Cnet did a review comparing the LG to the Iphone, which hooked me. I am sure there is a ton of stuff wrong with it. If you freeze apps, (the list we had of freezable apps) you would lose Bluetooth, even though none of the apps should have effected that operation. My ADW Launcher never worked right after flashing the rom, I am sure that has alot to do with programming.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I'm getting key 3d/2d acceleration going right now, and after that comes backlight/key LEDs/LED indicator.

Also, I updated the first post to show the video :)
[LG Revolution] bwhite757:
This is great to hear. I was just getting used to having CM7 on my phone with my D2 but decided bigger screen and 4G took precidence over CM7 but it looks like you're making good progress. Keep it up, and expect a good donation when a stableish build hits my Revo.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Ha! Great. just great. Damn CodeAurora!

Remember all the work it took to get recovery working because of the weird framebuffer? Well, we face a similar problem here.

Apparently the stock Android surfaceflinger and ui libs don't have the required method "getVerticalStride".

I suppose the next logical step is to try the libs from the Thunderbolt's gfx, possibly those will work better than the CodeAurora ones.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
That lock screen is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the dpi size as well, everyone just needs to get glasses.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
This is the 3d issue, that allows the launcher to go smoothly from screen to screen?
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Cubed, keep it up! You're my frickin hero! I can't wait. I miss having CM. Your stable decrapped has been great, but when you get CM working, plan on a donation to send you out on a lobster dinner on me. Lol! I want to learn to do this too, just don't know where to start. Lolololololol
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
just curious is there an official release for gingerbread for the lg?
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
No. Not even a semi-official leaked version.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
No there is not.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
when is the expected release for gingerbread official going to happen
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
no clue, or else I'd wait for it to drop before working my butt off on porting it for LG :)

so, i took some "brain vacation" time today, now it's back to work on getting my libgles problem sorted out.

I've tried a bunch of things so far (thunderbolt's GL libs, revo's GL libs matched with the cyanogenmod ones) and what it looks like is that for me to be able to use the revo's gl libraries, I'll have to custom compile surfaceflinger.

The code is already written by codeaurora, but I'm just trying to keep the amount of external patching to a minimum so that we can have an official cyanogenmod port (cyanogenmod doesn't officially support any port that requires extensive patching of the base code, from what I understand, since one patch must work for all devices)

Anyway, in regards to the DPI, the revo set at 160 is actually pretty sweet-- it's like super roomy. The revo stock is set to 240 for the dpi, and I believe 220 or something like that is HTC default. I'll probably set it to the HTC default since it's a nice compromise between everything being super tiny and efficient use of space.

For those wishing to help, the best way right now is to just hold on for a little while (unless of course you have experience with porting cyanogenmod, then by all means let's talk! :) ).

Thanks for all the kind words so far!
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
I haven't seen this one yet, so I'm gonna throw it out here... you're a total boss! I've been an Android user since August, and am only now starting to teach myself the remedial basics, but I am loving it! Hopefully, in the coming months,I'll be able to make a such substantial contribution to the community. I've been thinking about kernels a lot, and that's probably where I'm gonna settle myself once I get my devving computer in a month or so.

Wish I could be more useful in the mean time! For now, I'll just keep spouting encouraging words to bolster your morale!
[LG Revolution] joshnichols189:
Why not try talking to Slayher? or Xoomdev (RoberJ)? They have some pretty functional RILs on the Thunderbolt, might be a good place to start? :)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I haz some new updates for u all :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d4pZXyayts

Gettin' closer!

Just got wireless working right after that video was taken.

This phone FLIES in cyanogenmod... everything is just instant!

EDIT: and as quickly as I managed to get 3d acceleration working, now it won't load again. Weird. Well, it's 3:00AM, I should get some sleep. Rest assured, a non-halfassed build of CM7 with at least 2d/3d and wifi is coming soon for public consumption! (soon as in hopefully by wednesday night!)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
added link to new video to first post :)
[LG Revolution] LowRentTechGuy:
Sweet baby jeebus. :)
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
It's a beautiful thing!
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
Cubed, if you need someone to beta test for you (or even alpha test), i can do it. Ive got the decrapped back'ed up so im not worried about instability since i can revert when not testing.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
this is amazing. so much progress has been made!

thanks thecubed!
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Looking good!
[LG Revolution] Carbon_Rink:
Looking good man. Keep it up.
[LG Revolution] bwhite757:
Awesomeness....
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
This is awesome and I am definitely looking forward to this. Besides what you orginal posted and your statement on 4G voice/data being last do you have a list of what else is needed to be fixed?

Thanks again for all the hard work!
[LG Revolution] crt_ben:
The second video looks so sweet! I can't wait to get this - you're the boss cubed!
[LG Revolution] jam510:
Happy to Test

Thanks for everything thecubed!

I've been following this post and your De-Crapified one pretty religiously that past couple of weeks, can't wait to see what's next.

If you need a hand in testing anything, I would be happy to help. I have the De-Crapified 1.1 on my Revolution and an original Droid with Cyanogenmod 7 on it as back up.
[LG Revolution] K0G:
How much further Papa Smurf?

Cubed, thanks for all you do!!!
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
This is great stuff Cubed, and I'm as excited as everyone else :D - I wish I could be on board like before, but with the move - I practically don't have a PC anymore (this may take another week to rectify).

I did run into an issue with my Revo while moving where the thing just wanted to eat the battery. 30% in about an hour. I checked the running apps, and it didn't appear that there was anything running out of the ordinary. Hopefully CM7 fixes whatever the random battery buffet issue is (maybe it's a Go Launcher update issue?). Either way, it's OK for now and I have an ext battery on order.

On a side note - the Kindle is still running great, and the ad-hoc between it and the Revo is golden! It has some issues when I switch between an ad-hoc and a straight AP connection, but it fixes itself (eventually). Will CM7 include a non-Verizon AP? :D
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
4G data will most likely be last to be supported due to the fact that CyanogenMod lacks a lot of code that is used to support the 4G modem.

However, since the thunderbolt has working 4G in CyanogenMod, I should be able to get it working, just not as easily as everything else since I understand it less than I do the 3G side of things.

Thanks for the offer for testing-- I should have a public superBeta build available by Wednesday night. The only things I can say "should" be working for that superBeta will be 2d/3d acceleration, wifi, bluetooth, sensors, and usb storage.

Everything beyond that would be icing on the cake :)

Right now I'm restructuring my builds again, since the build I made for that video demo was a frankenbuild. I really cheated it by compiling a barebones CM7, then replacing the libraries as-needed from the thunderbolt's CM7 build, which left a lot to be desired.

Before I can even start restructuring the build, I just realized that I gotta rename my entire build system (I called the device name "revolution", when the device refers to itself internally as "bryce").

After I finish restructuring the build (i.e. to get it to build a proper sensors.bryce.so and lights.msm7k.so, and libaudio and whatnot) the next step will be getting audio to work along with debugging the wifi connection.

Revo battery buffets are usually a 4G issue, LG did some really weird stuff to get 4G supported on this phone...

Also, yep, non-vzw AP app will be coming along with the release of cm7. I didnt' want to release it until I was sure it'd work in cm7 also.

Good to hear about the NookColor - hope you're enjoying that! :)
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
That would most likely be the VoLTE... which would explain why the 4G on this phone is so different compared to other phones.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
my phone scarfs down battery even with the 4G off. i've also checked the running apps and nothing. the only ones i don't understand on there are the PVWmdrmService and PVMtpServiceStart. recently, i've also been having trouble with the phone getting stuck in 3G and being unable to send/receive texts or do anything until i put it in airplane mode and take it back out. weird stuff.
[LG Revolution] Blammo79:
I will share something that has helped me, even only mildly concerning battery life:

A couple of nights ago I turned off my Rev, and then removed my battery, sim card, and sd card. I let it sit for maybe five minutes. I then put everything back together and booted up my Rev. The next 2 days of light-moderate use I got an average of 24-26 hours of battery life (on a stock battery). I am currently in an area with 3G only, I use wifi when in weaker signal locations, and when I will be away from my phone for 2+ hours, I put my phone in Airplane mode.

Honestly, in all of my troubleshooting, the #1 battery drain is being on a cell signal (without wifi), but especially when the signal is even somewhat weak. Even when I turn off mobile data, auto sync, etc...I still get somewhat decent battery drain. The moment I turn on Wifi even with Auto Sync on, I get MUCH improved battery life.

Hope this helps. Try the battery, sim card, sd card trick, and see if it helps.
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
i am pretty sure those at least one of those services has something to do with the usb connectivity... reason i say that is...I was tinkering around and deleted both of them and my phone would no longer connect to my computer via USB although it would charge.. In fact when I plugged it it the process com.lge.autorun would forceclose..
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
haha i did that too a while back. i had to reflash decrap.
[LG Revolution] tweak17emon:
Atrix just got 2.3. fucccccccccccccccc. we need 2.3 on the revolution so bad!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Gotta push back my estimated public beta date by a day-- some stuff I've gotta take care of in "Real Life", so I haven't had a chance to work on the phone just yet.

I'll post updates as they come :)
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Soon cubed...this shall be me. Thank You.
[LG Revolution] vinylguy:
^^ LOL That pretty much sums it up! ^^

Thanks
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
Lmao @ Nick.

Hope all goes well cubed. I have my this page bookmarked. Ftw!
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
If I had hair, it would all be pulled out, in anticipation. On a side note, anyone's messaging been weird. I sent a text this morning with 4 4g bars, and it said sending. I switched to 3g and same thing. Rebooted, and it told me I had sent the message, two minutes earlier. Any thoughts?

When your 3g only Rev cm7 comes out, is it gonna be snappy fast, like, not 4g quality, but better than the 3g quality now?

When CM7 comes out, what can we expect in over all goodies. I know, what you're working on, but what are we gonna see performance wise. I don't know much about the technical side of the phones, so if you can dumb it all down so I can google it like I did with the tun.ko and still not figure out what it is.

And seriously take your time. I am already warning the wife, I am sending money to someone soon. It might not be you, don't be so greedy.... jeez. Kidding. Thanks alot for all your hard work, Thecubed (Tyler Fixer), what is the meaning behind (thecubed) why didn't you go with something Fixer-ish? Mine is self explainitory <<<--- spell check me. And thanks to anyone else involved.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i'm having the same messaging problem. i thought it was just handcent, but i guess not. it stalls a lot when i try to send a msg and i receive a message at the same time. very annoying. sometimes i have to toggle airplane mode for it to send, but even that doesn't work sometimes.

[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Public release is supposed to be today
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yep, all that, except he's not 16 anymore...LOL

Cubed, you need to update your webpage :D
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Wow, totally forgot about that part on my site!

Pretty much my site hasn't been updated in forever. I had a new design planned, but as usual stuff ends up taking priority (like getting other people's websites done too).

In the CM7 world, things are going well- I spend a little time last night looking at the Thunderbolt's CM7 LTE implementation, and I think I may even be able to get LTE working too after some heavy duty thinking.

Anyway, as usual, I'll post video updates as they come!
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
Woohoo I check this thread every so often just to see what is going on. I love seeing the progress unfold!!
[LG Revolution] rickt:
ahhh I was wondering why my Bluetooth went away. I froze some apps that should have had nothing to do with Bluetooth. is there no way to return Bluetooth service?
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
Should just have to unfreeze the apps. If it doesn't work reflash the decrapified rom. You won't lose anything there.
[LG Revolution] razor532:
when you get this CM7 on the LG Revo I will difinetly give a big contribution to you thecubed..... i think you will recall the last one i sent... keep up the good work I am keeping up with the work.....THANKS
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Yah rick, you have to go through program by program. Cube says the files for the LG are all over. I suspect there is a bluetooth subroutine for one of the programs. If you discovered this after your push of a rom, just updated the programmer and they should be willing to track it down.
[LG Revolution] K0G:
I think aliens must have come and abducted cubed. :'(

Sent from my Cubed VS910 4G.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Nope, cubed is still here, and working hard!

I've been super busy rebuilding my friends fence at his house since his rotted out, and by night I've been reading the CyanogenMod makefiles.

Rest assured, I'm still working, I'm just a little less vocal right now since I'd rather get as much done as I can as quick as possible.

CyanogenMod is putting all my other projects on hold; I really want to get this working before I go back to making decrap'd ROMs, since once I have a firm grasp on the CM7 side of things, all of the LG weirdness will make plenty of sense.
[LG Revolution] K0G:
Wow,

Custom ROMs and fences.

That's some serious multitasking.

Three cheers for cubed!!!

Haza!

Haza!

Haza!

Have a great weekend!

Sent from my Cubed VS910 4G.
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
I keep checking back but I didn't wanna hassle you cube. Always good to take a mental break every now and then. Luckily my two hackintosh projects with Lion has kept me rather pacified while I wait. Thanks again for all your hard work!! It is greatly appreciated.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Well said
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Is this going to be able to support the cyanogen nightly builds?
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Not until the code gets merged upstream into the main CyanogenMod repository. Once we get official support, we will get nightlies.

Side note: Cubed, is there any chance we could get a playground build of where you are right now just to see what you've done so far and really just play around with? Not bothering with bug reports, what's broken or not, etc. Purely for enjoyment purposes. I know that'd be fun for me being at work overnight all the time.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I'd be happy to provide a snapshot of what I'm working on right now, but I'm so close to a public release (no, don't get excited everyone- no 4g or 3g data yet) it might not be worth it :)

Also, to answer your questions: yes. There will be nightlies. My buildserver is set up to do all that (I've got me a lovely buildserver, compiles cm7 from a "make clobber" to "mka bacon" in about 5 mins with a load average of 30-something. no shortage of raw power there :) )

Anyway, as usual, I'll post updates as they come-- and videos along the way.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Sweet! I can't wait to see how CM7 feels on this device. I have a feeling it's gonna be ridiculous once it's gotten everything worked out.

If you're ferrying close to a public release, I need to hurry up and get my school laptop so I can teach myself how to kernel dev. I love how great CM7 is with a, good custom kernel.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Scared me for a second I thought you ment the 3G and 4G wouldn't be worth it. Then I realized you meant the release as it sits.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
So, quick update:

I managed to break the build environment (again) by renaming the device from lge/revolution to lge/bryce (the device's proper name).

No builds until I can figure out why I can no longer select the device from "lunch" (yeah, all the makefiles have been renamed-- did a search and replace for "revolution" and replaced with "bryce", including filenames).

Anyway, estimated delay on public builds: 2-3 days.

Sorry guys! :(
[LG Revolution] K0G:
Thank you for the update cubed.

Sent from my Cubed VS910 4G.
[LG Revolution] :
I hardly think it is necessary to apologize to us for completely understandable delays in a development process that you do in your free time. I'M sorry for not being able to do more to help right now :-)
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
LOL... Most of us aren't going to hold you accountable for delays. With the amount of work you are putting into this (and the amount of work you have done), you ARE the backbone of the Revolution. Without your work here, where would any of us be with this phone?

On that note, I know I've been scarce, and this will probably be true for a little while longer. I have finally moved the last of my crap, but now comes the fun part: unpacking. I won't have a server anymore when this is over, as I am being forced out of my business connection due to pricing :mad:

Comcast/Xfinity SUCKS on pricing these days!!! They saw how much I was paying for my connection and said: "wow, that's a really good deal. I'm sorry, but that will double after your move."

My response: "Turn it off, I'm done."
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Major pay. I have Verizon FIOS. I'm not sure if you can get that in your area but you should definitely try. It's extremely fast and hasn't let me down once. Granted I've only have for 2 months now but still
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Thanks, but "XFinity" and Qwest own the internet racket out here (both suck, but XFinity has the highest speeds)
[LG Revolution] drt054:
CM7 on Revo

Thanks Cubed!! It is looking great. I am in Northeast Ohio and LTE is running great if you need an additional tester. I can't wait for CM7.. the Revo desperately needs it!! I have your Clockworkmod Recovery build installed and ready.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I'm in northeast Ohio also. It works well.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Yay Ohio! Central Columbus.
[LG Revolution] :
Looks like we've got 2/3 of Ohio covered since I am in the Big T (Toledo). 4G working great here as well. Now if only we could get FiOS :-D
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I have 4G and FIOS in my house. :)
[LG Revolution] :
If I buy the 300 miles of cable and boosters can I leach your signal? LOL
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Lol sure. Just PM me when you have everything you need I'll help you set up. lol
[LG Revolution] thesavo:
i had this problem too. Check that you have these in /system/app

AutoRun.apk

AutoRun.odex

AutorunTest.apk

AutorunTest.odex

.

I had mistakenly lost the odex's. I have a 2nd handset that I could grab them from. Or if you have a ROM zip, take them from there. You will have to place them on your SD card on a PC, as you can not enable MASS USB storage with out them.
[LG Revolution] amiweidling:
So what's the status on cyanogen mod? I am contemplating swapping to the charge due to the ample dev support. Poor cubed is stuck here all alone.
[LG Revolution] jphillips.hd88:
Hi....might be somewhere,but I figured I'd ask....what and where is stat bar cleaner and how did you get your battery stellar? Insight would be so appreciated as I get about 3 hours on a full charge and am so tired of changing out batteries.....

Thanks
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Look throughout the forums for revolution there is a guide on using an app called automateitpro and saving battery. Plus turn off gps.Cm7 will help with battery. You should calibrate your battery. I'm going to calibrate mine when I loaf cm7 so it will be fully ready for optimal use then
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Setcpu will GREATLY improve battery life. Have it scale all the way down when ur screen is off.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Okay, so quick update:

I'm still here, and still working on this quite steadily.

Right now I'm working on getting my cm7 builds fixed.

I've managed to lose 3d acceleration when working on live wallpapers, and haven't been able to get libEGL to load the libegl_adreno libraries since then. So, it's 2 steps forward and one step back.

Camera (back camera) works! Aaaaand, I got it to show a 3g signal! (I didn't have working audio, or cell subscription, so I couldn't try that part out...)

Anyway, as usual, I'll post back as soon as I have updates...
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I'm willing to donate some money to buy a developer a revolution if it means we can get cubed some help on this. I'm pretty disappointed that he's the only developer who has stepped up to the challenge. Thanks cubed, but you shouldn't be the only one working on this. I've seen developers rant about how bootloaders should be unlocked, and when one is, they don't jump on it. I just don't get it. Maybe the revolution commercials will help attract new developers our way.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
That's how I feel I don't get why there isn't more developers for this phone
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
I think the reason that not many devs are attracted to this phone is the fact that it's not perceived as a "major manufacturer" in the realm of open source supported phones. Although,in reality, I believe most of LG's recent phones have full-fledged ports of cm7 and recovery within a few days of release!

Anyway, I think I'm going to take a little time off of working on cm7 and begin work on decrap2. I was hoping I'd have cm7 dev preview done by now, but it's posing itself to be harder than I thought (no, don't worry, it's not _that_ hard, it's just not within my timeframe of making sure I keep the decrap'd people happy :) ).

Me and mtmichaelson will be working on decrap2 today, and should have it out when it's all done.

CM7 will go on the backburner for a few days, and I'll recruit some help from my excellent friends, the NookDevs.

Keep an eye out for decrap2 in the next few days :)
