performance - no scaling, locked at highest freq.

conservative - slow to scale up freq, fast at scaling down to conserve power.

ondemand - default, scales from min to max depending on load.

interactive - faster at scaling up for more responsiveness, slow to scale down.

interactivex - same as above, except when screen is off, max freq is locked at the lowest setting.

smartass - more fancy than interactive, but may not work as intended on OV.

smartass2 - not sure.

I recommend interactive/X since it scales up very fast so there's no noticeable lag, but also runs at low freq when phone doesn't need to do a lot of processing.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
If using interactiveX, be sure not to set your min too low, I recommend at least 320. If you set it below 320, you may have issues with some apps when the screen turns off.

Sweet Zombie Jesus, thanks for posting this stuff! I've been wondering about it for ages. And my phone is MUCH peppier now, too!! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Surprise me with something random :)

In the meantime I'll try to come up with a good example
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I had that issue too, just switch your theme with Theme Chooser, that usually fixes the problem for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Thanks for the answers, guys! I found out about the widget issue because I set it as low as possible and TweetDeck crapped out on me...

On a related note, I'd be interested in how high some have set their CPU and still had stability.

i'm on my 2nd ov (stupid mistake, and i'm not playing the warranty game since it was definitely my fault the first one got borked so I kept it)

neither one is stable past 806MHz.

some people can run at 846 but not me.
[Optimus V Android Development] church:
i was on the first 2.3 asop build then went to 2.2 bumblebee and both i couldnt clock over 825. now with this new cm7 build im at 864 rock solid. so this rom is a major upgrade for me. no issues so far (cross fingers)
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
11+ days on one charge

Consider this the "hyper-miling" for phones :)

Was on 0930 Mirage Build. For those who don't know already, I'm a minimalist with settings:

- 122-480 InteractiveX governor

- Airplane mode for sleep & work hours.

- No 3G, wifi, BT, GPS unless needed by toggling in status bar

- Data sync, animations, clicks, vibrations all off

- Light SMS, occasional phone call, and browsing through Opera Mobile browser

- bloatware removed, no battery manager/task killer of any kind either
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
That's amazing, but I could never manage this, I love my OV too much to underuse it.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
lucky, wanna trade? :p

the only other kernel than Bob's I've been able to OC past 806 and not have my phone instantly reboot was the new lg .35 kernel when I patched in picasticks OC code. I could get to 846 without a reboot on that kernel or Bob's v3 kernel, and even run linpack for a benchmark, but anything over 806 still reboots when I open the stock gallery app. 864 instantly resets my phone regardless of what I've tried.

/wah_boo-hoo-hoo
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Thats nice and all but its a smartphone. Making it dumb just to get some outrageous battery life boggles me.

I can get 36 hours with a simple power manager. I use the phone typical of a 37 year old man. When Im getting tons of texts the battery life is shortened by about 4 hours and that is just cause of screen wakes.

I never have figured out why people want to make a smartphone dumb just for outrageous battery life.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. It's just MY usage pattern. I think it's dumb to be interrupted by my phone from FB, twitter, email, SMS and be glued to the little screen all the time, being constantly distracted, during work & social situations. So I only use it when I need to gather information, not be fed by it randomly.

It's not a dumbphone, it's about using it smartly.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Touché lol I can't argue with that comeback.. if I didn't need to consistently check my email and SMS messages I'd have an easier time saving battery. I don't really care much for Facebook notifications or other social networks, so I guess I'll turn the notifications off then? What do you suggest? Only things that really concern me are email, Google Voice, and SMS, other than that I see no other point in synchronizing anything else
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
By the way I need some help. Is there a key mapping software I can use that will allow me to assign something to the non-functioning voice key? I've always been curious about this but never bothered asking before. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
ButtonRemapper to remap the button, KeynrTracker to find the right key number, both are attached to the first post of this thread:

10142011 - MiRaGe

I have uploaded the 10142011 build to the Wiki.

I have synced with CM and there are very few changes/fixes. You can see the main changes since 10102011 here.

There are two other changes outside CM repo.

We owe a big thanks to BobZhome for his latest kernel v3.2 which is included in this build with the following changes: cifs module is included, interactive governor added back, LG headset sources compiled in the kernel

I have tested this kernel since three days and did not see any problems with it. I was happy to see that interactive governor was added back since, unlike interactiveX, it does not limit the CPU with the minimum frequency when the screen is off. I don't use cifs module but it is there if you find it useful. Lastly, LG headset code did not make any difference for me since I am not a headset user. So, you might want to give your feedback if you can test this kernel with your headset.

Second, I have upgraded my build station to Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and this is the first build in that system. It was a very smooth transition without any issues.

You can use the transparency theme from 10102011 build (not earlier) with this one as well. That theme is in the same Wiki page in the optional files section.

As always, thanks to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, and the CM team. Enjoy!

Very interesting experiment and this is great to know in case I need to keep my phone functional as long as possible in an emergency. This should be sticky somewhere as a guide.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
The idea behind the smartphone was being able to be connected when away from the pc. I dont need to be staring at the screen all the time. But I do have people that contact me via FB and email throughout the day that require a semi fast response.

On a typical day if Im using the phone a lot throughout the day as soon as I can put it on a charger I do. I agree you have to use the phone smartly but limiting it to a dumbphone for I would guess 9 of those 11 days is my point.

I dont mean this to sound like Im being rude. I just dont see the point in limiting your phone just for some outrageous battery. Its your phone and I have no ability to tell you that you're right or wrong but my opinion is why have a smartphone if you limit it to a dumbphone capacity?
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Me, I like my smartphone for its ability to be a little pc itself.

I don't email much, never had a fb or twitter account, don't sync data, NEVER install the gapps...

the only alerts I need from the phone are rare telephone calls or sms from my woman, so I only need data to research, download, or entertain.

I still don't consider myself using it as a dumbphone, because a less capable device wouldn't meet my needs as well. it's just not getting used as a socializing tool like seems to be the norm.

I get either great battery life with days between charges or as little as 3 hours of heavy 3g downloads and streaming.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Do you happen to have a screenshot of your transparent bar? I've looked around, but didn't find one...
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
I use data2ext, and have been for a while now. Since around the 2nd or 3rd build of Backside.

But lately for some reason, with the last few builds, everything will be fine for a few days until everything starts force closing all the time. Rebooting the phone doesn't help, and wiping cache/dalvik cache causes the phone to lock during boot. Do a full wipe/install again and all works perfect, for a few days. Repeat.

I figure this more than likely has something to do with data2ext. Just don't know why it waits a few days to be problematic, and why it used to work fine but no longer does.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I can understand that. I just dont get why people shut off everything just for some outrageous battery life.

I keep FB and Twitter notifications off. Email is only for the couple people that insist on communicating via email. Same with FB but I manually check that.

The way I use the phone currently I get about 36 hours.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
The screenshots have a brownish tint for an unknown reason. The greens are much brighter actually.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
just curious - when you install a new rom update do you always do a full wipe/install or do you just wipe cache/dalvik? i'm curious because i'm trying to figure out how to update without erasing my ext partition & restoring my apps (doesn't take all that long but it's a small hassle).

on your fc issue have you installed any new/different apps?
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
Quick question. Is there a way to do like a total wipe of my phone to make sure everything is cleaned out. My phone as been acting weird on cm7. Randomly installs apps that I don't need or use. And says I don't have a data/local/build.prop? Just wondering any help would be great......

And nice update mrg666
[Optimus V Android Development] brainwash1:
Installed Mirage 10142011 this morning and MMS is inexplicably working for the first time in weeks. I just received all of the test messages I've sent over the past few days. Everything else is still working,except the headset button. Great work, mrg, Blarf, Jerry, and everyone else who have worked on IHO.
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
I've always been doing a full wipe. Just updating always breaks my apps.

The only thing I can think of that might be causing the issue is I have Titanium Backup set to backup all new/newer version apps everynight. Not sure why this might cause issues, but I have as of today stopped this practice to see if anything improves.

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I created a new thread in the general Optimus forum to discuss battery saving techniques:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18455144#post18455144

One of the ways to not use app data sync is to turn on SMS notifications for FB, email, Google Voice & others. SMS is instant & through the cellphone network, not the more battery draining data network. Even then I only allow specific FB private messages and GV SMS through, and maybe email from certain people.
[Optimus V Android Development] OttoDeFe:
I was wondering why the removal and a suggestion for replacement - I quite liked it.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
cool, I saw that post in general by rcmarotz, you really incorporated that info fast!

Wired headset controls have been a gripe back since before IHO, in aospCmod even (not to compare, I know development stopped on that long ago, but it stood me well until Blarf stepped up and made public source code available for the OV)

I'll have to flash it and test that out with my stock lg headset now, just to see. Not that

I ever use the headset, just that I want to see the tweak in action.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I alternate backing up new/newer apps & redo app backups and haven't had a problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
i know this really isnt the place but if anyone could help me. my phone wont boot up past cm7 logo, and for some reason when i go to recovery its the Stock recovery...? is there an update.zip that i can flash in the stock recovery to get me into a better recovery to fix my phone? thanks to anyone for help
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You can apply the headset tweak by flashing this zip file from recovery. It can be used with any IHO ROM. Thanks to rcmarotz and Bob.
[Optimus V Android Development] NonCrowd:
With Bob's rom I can't send photos or recieve them via mms :/
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
It works for me, but there have been a few people that have been report the mms problem with my build. I'm not sure what it is at the moment...switch to Jerry's or Mrg's roms if mms is important to you.

Sup guys.

Im on the mirage 10/14 build.

I tried to downgrade busybox to 1.18.2 so i can run v6 supercharger. So i downloaded busybox installer by jrummy. Ends out on his free app the install button is covered by ads. So thats stupid.

Anyways i downloaded the other busybox installer by stephen (i think) tried to downgrade and it was sitting on checking busybox and system for like 10 minutes. So i home buttoned out of there and force stopped the app. Tried it again...same thing.

Then i got root checker and i do have root but not busybox. Busybox is still in system/xbin.

How do i get this working other than reflash the rom??
[Optimus V Android Development] nonsense23:
I had exactly the same problem with Google music. I finally got it installed after downloading the market one and uninstalling it, then I installed the version that's not in the market without problems.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'm actually able to use V6 Supercharger with the busybox that comes with the rom, and I'm using the same rom. I'm not getting random bootloops or FCs

Exactly wut does busybox do. Will i get errors or anything from having it borked??

10162011 MiRaGe

I wasn't satisfied with the previous release and just uploaded the quick-fix build of 10162011 with the following changes.

- Spanish language option is added back in.

- Kernel reverted to BobZhome v3.11 since headset microphone was not working with LG sources. Interactive governor is still included.

- Bob's touch-to-focus fix is included in the Camera app.

- Headset buttons keymap settings are included. Thanks to rcmarotz and BobZhome

You need to use the latest matching transparency theme which is available in the Wiki now.

Please thank Blarf, Bob, and Jerry for this ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'll try a clean flash this time, I was wondering why the mic didn't work. Thank you

[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
There's a phenomenon where the battery seems to drain faster around 50% mark, or the gauge is detecting the voltage differently around those levels. or sometimes the battery meter doesn't go down for a while, then drops steeper than normal to "catch up" with the real reading.

There is a seal between battery and flash memory. Flashing too many times wears off the seal and causes energy leak :)

HI All

This past week on saturday i rooted my LG optimus V on virgin mobile to the CM 7.1 10/10/2011. The rom is running great except one issue that i noticed and someone here can help me solve it.

When the phone is in Vibrate all mode and i place a call to that phone it will vibrate fine.. The issue that i am running in to is that when the phone is still in to vibrate all mode and i text it will not vibrate at all..

I have gone through the sound setting and messed around with it but no luck.. I was wondering if anyone else is running in to this kind of issue and if there is a solution to it..

also if anyone can give me tips as to if this is not a know bug how to resolve this.

Thanks once again in advance

best regards

But, seriously, are battery use issues something we just have to deal with or is there an idea about what might be causing them?

Would using Juice Defender be worth it?

Sent from my IHO phone
[Optimus V Android Development] Archangel013:
I've been having this issue, too, ever since the 09/20 update. I emailed Google support and they told me it's because the Optimus line doesn't have the OpenGL capability required by the new version of the app. I dunno whether or not that's true, or if there's a way to update OpenGL...
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Just not to repeat here, I had posted this in the AC thread. I normally get 3-4% per hour battery drain with normal use, see below.

IHO itself is not using excessive battery. If there are applications that you frequently use and suspect they cause battery drain, try ATK and Juice defender they might help. When you use ATK, build an extensive ignore list and exclude front app + services so that it won't screw your OS. Also, set it to kill the apps only when screen goes off. Personally, I did not find Juice defender too useful but you can try. I recommend limiting sync only with Contacts, Gmail, and Calendar and cancelling auto sync for FB, twitter, Google+ ... (i.e. everything else)
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I use Juice Defender and CPU Master with Power Saver which does help greatly with the battery. Made a HUGE difference for me on Jerry's BACKSIDE ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
definitely. without data sync, and 3g/wifi/bluetooth/gps turned off (not even airplane mode) and no abnormal (extra) background apps running, I lose well under 5% charge overnight.

I've tried everyones iho builds and only get noticeable battery drain while using the radios, or cpu-hungry apps.

not trying to run the wheels of the battery topic, but since it keeps coming up, thought I'd throw in my 2 cents again.
[Optimus V Android Development] MtDewFella:
Memory Report problem

I am using Bobzhome's oct 13th build, which fixed issues I had with his last build, I now have an issue with the memory, no matter how many apps I install storage reports internal as ~118 MB availible. Eventually I run out of space and then I can't install apps but storage still reports ~118 MB.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
That makes sense that its not the stock IHO, but the radios and programs.

I don't have many "background" apps, so I'm not sure what would be eating the power.

Don't they basically do the same thing; do you prefer one over the other?

Thanks for those pennies! I know "battery drain" talk is, somewhat, taboo; however, it's an important discussion to have. If it is indeed radios, than do we know if anyone's looking into a fix?
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
I had this issue occasionally except it was sound and vibration that wouldn't play. No amount of tinkering would fix it. I rebooted the phone and all was fine. For a while. Finally I get fed up and did a full wipe/reflash of the rom (I had just updated before). Haven't had any issues since. I'm on Jerry's 10/13, about to flash 10/17.
