[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
I have 2 WiFi connections.

1. Work - SSID is broadcasted uses WEP - I have no issues

2. Home - SSID is not broadcasted, uses WPA2 - I frequently get disconnected from WiFi and have to go into Wireless & Network Settings > WiFi Settings to reconnected. Once I get into that sub menu, I can see it start to connect, get an IP address and the WiFi icon shows on the task bar.

The best ROM I have used in regards to this issue was ath3nos', I rarely got disconnected after a lock screen.
[Optimus V Android Development] kylekushman:
Did you try changing your preferences in wifi settings?

goto to settings>wireless & network settings>wifi settings then hit the menu button and hit advanced

Change the WiFi Sleep policy to not disconnect when the screen sleeps.
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
Not with this ROM yet. I think the issue is with it reconnecting, it does to my work wifi fine, it's the home one (SSID not broadcasted) that it doesnt automatically reconnect after I turn the screen back on.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
My SSID is broadcast, and I'm definitely not having trouble reconnecting on wake. And after turning the power down a bit (WAP and I are in a small room) I seem to be getting more stable speed.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Yeah, I can't get it to auto connect to something with the SSID hidden. But, quite frankly, I can't even get OSX to do that. I'd recommend you're running WPA2/PSK+AES and just broadcast your SSID.

Were you able to get ath3nos or aospCMod to reconnect to a hidden WAP?
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Just curious if Blarfie and jerryscript are seeing as many force closes as we do
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I have seen ZERO force closes in 2 weeks of running this ROM, 2 build upgrades using just cache and dalvik-cache wipes. Make sure to use clockworkmod recovery & wipe cache, & dalvik-cache, then format all except /sdcard partitions. Also don't restore apps from previous non-IHO ROMs, reinstall them fresh from market instead. Or could try:

1. wiping just the app cache from settings - applications

2. moving app from sdcard to internal ROM (if using something like app2sd)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Also make sure you're not overclocking too much for your phone and make sure the phone is not overheating. Also there are a list of apps known to not play nice including GrooveIP, Words With Friends, some version of Facebook, and Zenonia 3. Beyond an app I'm developing I don't see any consistent FCs.

Some of this may be due to me using a different FB driver than the LS670 kernels, but some of it like Facebook and GrooveIP are almost certainly (IMO) due to them being immature apps.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Thanks. just making sure I want smoking something. either I'm not wrong enough of the phone or I'm using some of those apps.
[Optimus V Android Development] unloop:
Not AOSP, but ath3nos did reconnect more often then any other rom I've used
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
The issue i was having was after a clean, fresh install, and after downloading only about 5 apps from the market, my phone would constantly freeze or reboot. At that time, i didn't even have it overclocked at all. Even tried installing without Green Machine theme, just in case that was the issue. Had to go back to AOSP. Been trying to install it since Sunday evening. Anybody know what might cause this issue? I'd still love to get this ROM if i can get it stable on my phone...on a side note, i love theme Green Machine theme. Any chance of an. apk for theme chooser?
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
I think I saw this mentioned in an earlier edition of IHO, but since there have been a few build updates since then I figured it was worth mentioning again.

When I'm on a call and lower the volume, the volume bar displayed on the phone will go down to just before off, but not any farther. At this point the volume will also drop off all together. Not really a big issue once I figured out what was going on, but worth mentioning. I'll see if I can get a screen shot of it.

Edit: Here's the screenshot. It shows the volume bar as low as it'll go. At this point any sound that I would otherwise hear is gone.
[Optimus V Android Development] joryb:
bluetooth is paring and working great with my plantronics headset. Haven't tried in my car yet. My wifi seems to disconnect and reconnect a lot. Sometimes when the phone isn't even asleep. I only had one force close with ADW Launcher since flashing.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Yup, it does that to me too. Does the stock ROM do this as well? The impression I get is that it probably does (although adding a check shouldn't be too hard). The off-mode charging stuff is actually not recovery related, but instead part of the init process baked into the ROM.

As for the carrier logo, that's also a ROM thing (also) in the root (read-only) filesystem. You can disable it but you'll need to regenerate the root file system. Likewise for the ROM builders, you can change the boot images fairly easily... but I'll be looking to commit a bootlogo binary that will let you more easily change the animation.
[Optimus V Android Development] badrsj:
Nope - I confirm - cannot nandroid backup with Razr

Nope I cannot make a back up with the Razr - it says there is no room - i.e. 0 - there is ample room - then there is a failure message. What a waste -otherwise I really like the options in this recovery
[Optimus V Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
If you've linked the dalvik cache before, you should select "link dalvik-cache files" after rebooting then reboot again. Otherwise, you'll probably have file space errors in market, and may find some of your apps aren't available. Good luck!

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Would love to be able to use something other than RLEs for the firstbootanimation, if possible. For now, builders can use the instructions I posted here and the following shell script to batch convert a set of properly formatted png images. Save the following as batch_convert.sh in a folder with the png images and a copy of rgb2565.

#! /bin/sh

# Usage:
# . batch_convert.sh

echo "Converting all png images in the current directory to rle format..."
count=100
for img in *.png; do
filename="${img%.*}"
convert -depth 8 "${filename}.png" rgb:"${filename}.raw"
rgb2565 -rle < "${filename}.raw" > "sprint_power_on_${count:1}.rle"
rm -f "${filename}.raw"
count=`expr $count + 1`
done
read -p "Finished converting images, press enter to continue..." nothing

I imagine this could be easily ported to OS other than Ubuntu.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
yes I have four on my phone right now. Make sure you have a folder named nanadroid

see above

Yes it will restore cwm backup. As for installing zips...is this a serious question?

Make sure you have a folder named nanadroid.

If your getting a no room message how big is your sd card?
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
I do have the folder but it still fails. It also can not restore cwm backups, that also fails. As for the installing zip's question I was asking because i wanted to install a rom and I wanted to know if it would properly install. Can you give me a link to where you specifically downloaded your recovery?
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
If your following my link in the other post you just scroll down to the LG Optimus V. I would compare md5's and make sure all match.

As for restoring cwm. It worked for me but wouldnt restore the sd-ext. Reading the thread on RW it appears there is a issue with some devices not restoring cwm recoveries.
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
That's were i got it from twice already. Did you download the zip or img?

This is my md5: 3fb7f6865471d7b172691e4f8ed14579

Don't know what to compare it to though
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I downloaded both but used the .img file.

According to the checksum that is the right md5.

What recovery were you using?
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
before rz i was using the multi rom one
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Another user was having the same problem and he was using that recovery. All I can think of is that recovery is doing something odd and will not allow you to use rzr. Have you tried going back to the IHO or CWM recoveries?
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
No i'm going to try that
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Are you referring to the headset that comes with the phone, or is this bluetooth related? I flashed the file, but the music player still starts playing when it wants to.
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
Didn't work.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
The fix enables the buttons on the wired headsets. This fix has been included in the ROM since several recent builds but I missed adding it again while reconfiguring my build system after latest changes in the IHO repo. The current updated build includes the fix. The small flashable zip file adds the fix the ones who flashed the first package without reflashing the entire ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
My wired headset is so quiet i can't hear people when i'm driving in traffic. I assumed i was using my blackberry headset but don't remember which is which.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Try the LGE headset that came with the phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'll try it out later with iPhone headphones and Sony headphones with the remote.

[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Are the LG headphones all black or do they have silver on the buds?
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I have some LG's that are silver with black buds (silver screens) and a microphone, not sure if they came with the phone...

EDIT: nope, just found the ones that came with my optimus - all black.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Thanks. I'll keep looking for mine

Bugs

how do i delete this post? I realized i messed up.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
That button was working for you? I don't remember it ever working with any of the GB roms I've flashed. Did you set it up yourself or did it work by default?

Edit: Just to be sure, which rom did you flash, and were you using the stock rom prior to flashing this one?

Forgive me for all the questions.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
He must have been on froyo cause it has never worked on any gb build...Idk why
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
The best I can do with the Voice button on the side of the phone is try mapping it to Voice Dialer, same as long pressing the wired-headset-button does. LG included Google Voice Activations in the stock ROM, but it is not included in CM7 (at least not in the same manner).

I think I will go ahead and try mapping the Voice Dialer, that way at least we get some functionality built in, instead of users having to remap themselves. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
Button remapper! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Well i found the black headset but it doesn't appear to have a built in mic. Oh well.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
This is what you're looking for.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Yeah i found mine but when i use it, it appears that the mic input is coming from the phone itsself and not a mic on the headset. Leads me to believe it doesn't have a mic.
[Optimus V Android Development] alexhood93:
That would be awesome! :-)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
What makes you say that? The mic is on the back of the button box on the stock LG headset.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
:mad:

Yeah, I thought it had a mic also (there's that funky little slit in the back of the button module). I plugged it into my computer and attempted to record sound but no-go, though it might be one of my recorder drivers causing no sound.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I tested it with the sound recorder on my phone and my voice got louder only when bringing the phone closer to my face. I recieved a call on the tollway and was told that they could hear me but there was lots of road noise. I usually only get that complaint when the phone is on speaker sitting in my lap.
[Optimus V Android Development] eep1:
Unless you have a splitter to separate the mic and phones then all you'll get is the headphones.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
The sound recorder doesn't use the mic on the headset, it uses the phone's mic. Please test with phone calls. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
This, I'm assuming, is in regards to the person plugging the headphones in to the computer...

[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Duh, don't know why I didn't think of that. Hopefully just because I'm tired.

On another note I played around with two-way phone call recording (BACKside). It sure does work, though not the best sound so far - I haven't messed with it very much, and I was using 2 phones very close to each other, but still happy with the results.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Ha! Thanks for the knowlege

Storage problem

I'm running this Rom and within settings it says that I have 131MB of available storage space and 2GB in my SD card. The problem is that whenever I try to download an app it tells me that I don't have enough storage, I've tried switching where it downloads to, but that doesn't work.I've tried to uninstall some apps but I still can't download over 3G or WiFi. Any Ideas? Is this a problem with the Rom, my specific download of it, my phone, or my stupidity?

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Stock, and it was my fault for not reading that it wasn't working and that USB is buggy
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Try clearing the market app's cache and rebooting the phone. If that doesn't work, then wait until some of the heavy hitters tell you what needs to be done.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikeyeffing:
you could also try booting into your recovery and clearing the cache from there.

or

wipe everything and do a fresh install of the rom
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
My headset mic is working but people complain about me being underwater or something similar.
[Optimus V Android Development] badrsj:
MrG666 is there a place to download the ROM before the VM logo was added. The current ROM does not reboot if plugged in leaving the phone off after titanium backups.
[Optimus V Android Development] Grosskum:
HELP

SOLVED : did take battery out and all better, thanks for the suggestions tho.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikeyeffing:
Battery pulls can actually fix a lot of problems. Try it and reboot into recovery and see if it goes back to normal

PS- xda is going dark at 8am, not midnight :-)
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Looks like you're having one heck of a night. If you pulled out the battery, what's the phone doing now?
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I agree with pulling the battery. It can actually be beneficial, by fixing bugs. If still stuck, try booting normally into the ROM and you can reflash recovery in terminal emulator.

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/xxxx.img

reboot recovery

This is if your recovery.img file is on the root of the sd card. If your recovery.img is in a folder, just move it to root of sd, or change the location in the command line. Just make sure you type it exactly how it appears. Do not flash using ROM Manager. It's known to cause alot of issues on our phones.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Is anyone else having issues with the GPS icon showing on the notifications bar after GPS has been turned off? Subsequently turning it on and off does nothing. It will only go away after the phone has been restarted. No big deal, but just wondering.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikeyeffing:
Ya the icon does seem to stay on. I also don't find it to be a big deal but sometimes ya just want it gone lol i use the app "notification restart" gets rid of the the icon without having to reboot the phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Try this: Turn on GPS, open maps, wait for icon to stop flashing, close maps (icon should be gone after this step, if not, repeat), turn off GPS.

[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You can reboot by long pressing the power button until the LG logo appears. If you still want to go back to previous version before the charging fix, it is below.

http://www.mediafire.com/?vv4lxpcm5s9co9i
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Yes, sometimes I want it gone too, but since it's not a big deal I don't think I want to install an app just for that. I might do it anyway though.

I have done that a few times, but it has never worked. I'll be a little more persistent the next time it happens.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikeyeffing:
I installed it awhile ago when there was the issue with the clock color an I got tired of rebooting the phone while testing lol it works way faster so its convenient to have.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Anyone else have an issue where, when you're on the phone with someone, someone else calls in, you switch over to the new caller and 5 seconds later it hangs up on all parties? It's happened to me twice recently. Couldn't tell you if it ever worked. Using newest bobz.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
You probably pressed the power or home key while in recovery. But you said no buttons do anything, that's weird.
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
It just happened again. Very strange.
[Optimus V Android Development] startak11:
This has happened to me on occasion - I attributed it to user error since it doesn't happen to me often but maybe something's up.

New build is up:

BACKside-IHO-VM670-01182012.zip

md5sum d712dcd077d1c92b1de30c8d59f71700

GreenMachineTheme-01182012.zip

Changes:

- Synced with CM, lots of behinds the scenes tweaks (translastions etc), added Holo lockscreen ring style

- Changed first bootanimation, replaced VirginMobile's with one for BACKside-IHO

- Added update checker (see below for details)

Thanks as always to Blarf, BobZhome, mrg666, LeslieAnn, tdm, kermikalelite, thekraven, Whyzor, bigsupersquid, the CM team, the AOSP team, and a whole lot more! ;)

NEW -- BacksideUpdater.apk is now included in the /system/app, accessible via the app drawer or under

Settings>>CyanogenMod settings>>System settings>>Check for ROM updates

Open the app (or select the option in settings), and press the Check Now button. If a new version is available, you press the Download Now button to download it. After downloading from the webpage, press your back button to return to the app. Press the Reboot into Recovery Now button to boot directly into recovery, then proceed as normal to wipe cache/dalvik cache and then flash the newly downloaded ROM zip file (it will be under downloads unless you've changed your default download directory). ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
*downloaded and updater works fine

At least i think it does, shows i am up to date :)

change download option please since recovery checks in root by default

*additional notes

will this alert us when there is an update?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I didn't want to break with normal download behavior, but perhaps I'll make it optional when I make the download a part of the gui itself.

When you choose select zip from sdcard in recovery, you navigate to the folder/file you want. I'm experimenting with adding options to do wipe/install automatically in future updates, no promises at this time. ;)

No I did not include push notifications, they eat battery, and are generally a pita to code properly. You have to open the app to check for updates manually.

Charging while powered off - can't reboot

I know that recently the bug for charging while powered off was finally fixed. Now, the phone can be turned off, and a power source plugged in to charge it, without causing the phone to start up.

However, the fix seems to have disabled the ability to reboot while plugged in. If I reboot either from the standard reboot menu, or from the reboot command in recovery, the phone will power down and start charging if it is plugged in. Even if I then turn it on, it will turn off again. I have to unplug the power, turn it on, and only plug it in after the IHO bootscreen shows up.

I personally never cared to have my phone off and charging, and this 'fix' is rather inconvenient. Is there any way to turn the fix into a preference menu option, or to fix it altogether so that it only stays off when you select to actually shutdown and still lets the reboot command reboot?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Long press the power button till you see the lg logo
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Just installed Jerry's latest BACKside. Love the replacement splash screen instead of the original VM one. One issue though, Wifi isn't working. I turn it on and it'll sit, then automatically shut off. Doesn't pick up any networks. I live in a huge apartment complex, and normally pick up a big list, but it's not listing any, including my own, then shuts off. So far, this is the only issue i've found
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Had a couple of reports on wifi issues over at AC forums as well. I cannot reproduce the issue. I have redownloaded and installed the newest build 4 times since posting, each time using wifi, and I've been turning it off and on. Never takes more than 15 seconds tops to connect, usually about 7 seconds.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I'll try redownloading it, then reflash :)
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
Had the same problem,but I pulled a backup ran it. Then flashed new build over it, now it works. What recovery do you have Jerry. I have IHO 4.0.1.4.3 haven't had any problems from it.
[Optimus V Android Development] Archangel013:
Not sure if it's just my phone, but under Jerry's new build (18th), in certain apps (Facebook, Gmail), the status/notifications bar seems as though it's in the background and the app runs in front of it. Is this normal? It's still visible, but in the cases of Facebook and Gmail, the bar turns white, making everything illegible. Otherwise I haven't encountered any problems with it! :)
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Found the Wifi issue. Normally i prefer to do fresh installs. On fresh install, wifi isn't working. Wiped cache and dalvik cache and installed over previous build and

..Flawless Victory. Wifi is working :)
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I tend to flash roms while taking care of other things and the biggest issue Ive come across is while waiting for the boot process If your not babysitting the phone it will goto charge mode and not reboot.

Sure I could babysit the phone, I just think its a unnecessary thing to do. Also scheduled Titanium Backups and auto reboots after will put your phone in a charge state and ultimately end up missing calls.

Maybe a option in the power menu to reboot charge otherwise it just reboots normally?
