I was doing IHO-Purity, and I tried it with signature verification off and it did the same thing.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I'll try a logcat. Worse comes to worse, i can just reinstall the rest of the apps after each reboot, lol, because i have a restore point :)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Given that IHO didn't exist in June I'd wager it's been there all along. 'aosp' didn't release source used (or his/her changes to the various source trees) so I had to use what was already available. Anyhow, it should be fixed (also should be noted that neither Flickr nor iPhoto even use the GPS tags >_<).
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I just got a bunch of "insufficient space" errors while attempting to move apps to the sdcard (Jerry's latest). Is that the same issue Kolma is describing? :(
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
Custom Boot Screen

So i decided to venture into a custom bootscreen and low and behold! i found a great one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052366

However it was WVGA... so i went throught the painful task of converting it to a HVGA...

(file is attached)

it SHOULD be correct... but again first time

anyways was excited to try it out and all... but it just showed a black screen during boot3...

I originally just thought jerry forgot to put his normal green boot in, but turns out that file was still in it's normal spot (i extracted it and opened it up)

So i guess the point of this post is 2 things.

1. can anyone double check this boot animation to make sure it works? (phone did still boot fine while i still have it installed)

2. Any way to fix the black screen for boot 3? (LG, IHO, Custom/CM7)

or do i have to wait till jerry's next build?
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
i get the errors while trying to install from android market

did a full wipe and fresh install, and now only fruit ninja free does it
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I must have included the wrong bootanimation in the build, sorry, it gets replaced when I flash the Green Machine theme so I didn't notice it.

Here is the BACKside bootanimation, I deleted the one in /system/media and put this on in there, reboot and it played fine.

I tried your bootanimation, but it was still a black screen after using it.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
AH that is GREAT to know actually,

let's me know my bootanimation is at fault and not the build.

guess i will see what's right with yours and wrong with mine and try to make it work

*edit

think i figured it out and why yours didnt work, i followed you original one which went bootanimation.zip -> bootanimation -> part0,part1,desc.txt

that extra folder shouldnt be there
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Nope didn't fix it. I got rid of the extra folder, rebooted, and got a blank screen for boot3. Tried replacing the desc file with the green machine one, still didn't work. Might be something to do with the pics themselves. I'll play with it tomorrow.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kolma:
yeah i can't get mine to work for crap...

installed green machine and it still doesnt work

*lucky i backed up before all of this

*edit

slimmed it down a TON after about 7 failed attempts...

now its just a single part0

still can't get it to work. must be the images i suppose... not sure what is wrong with though, they are in the SAME exact format as the green cm is.

only difference is that they are 240x480 instead of 256x256

and desc.txt is 240x480 instead of 480x480
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
August 27 build of IHO-Purity is up.

Changelog:

-Sync'd with CM

-Camera geotagging now properly sets longitude.

Download MD5: 13d3fcdd50af626202ad5ea5da983e05
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
It had nothing to do with the desc.txt file. The .png files were named wrong. In part0 they end with 0019, but in part1 they start with 0010. Renamed the files in part1 to start with 0020 and it worked beautifully! Although there was a flash in between boot2 and boot3, but I think I'll get over that.

Make sure when you rezip the files that you are using the store compression method from your computer. Apparently this phone can't read it's own zip files when it comes to boot animations. It uses the deflate compression method instead of store. Oddly enough 7zip can't even read this phones zip files. At least it can't extract it anyways. Says it's an unsupported compression method. That could also be why it isn't working for you. So when you transfer the zip file to your computer make sure it is the original.

Here's the zip if anyone wants it. It is tested and working on my phone.

Edit: Now that I think about it I don't think the file names have anything to do with it, just as long as they are sequential within that folder. I have another boot animation that has pics that are not sequential between folder. So one folder starts at 001 and has 100+ pics and the other folder starts at 030 and has 200+ pics. It was probably the combination of the extra bootanimation folder and the compression method that caused it to not work.

Anyway it works, so enjoy.

*Note: This is the original bootanimation.zip from Jerry's BACKside rom edited to work properly.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrdally204:
deaver,

I just d/l the boot image and tried to flash it with CW recovery. It failed. goes from installing update to installation aborted. any help?

EDIT

just found out its not a flashable zip (my ignorance) and installed it via terminal. Is there an easier way to do it?

Also, the zip you posted is NOT the sonic like I thought it was going to be (for anyone else who is interested. My next question is how to change the self destruct audio at the beginning. any thoughts?
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Easiest way to change both, bootanimation and android_audio, is with a file manager. I use root explorer. Make sure your file manager is set to read/write (in root explorer, upper right corner). Choose your bootanimation.zip and go to system/media, again, make sure you're on read/write setting, then just overwrite tje file. For audio file you can just delete in system/media, or to make your own, rename any audio file that's 30 seconds or less to android_audio.mp3, then just overwrite in system/media.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Good advice, but I recommend ES File Explorer, it's free and does more than Root Explorer. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
GenieWidget.apk?

I decided that the 'stock' news & weather app worked better than several others I tried--but it seems to be missing from the latest BobZhome ROM (and a couple of others I looked at).

It's not flashed from the google apps, is it? Was it removed recently from the CM?

Or is it hiding in plain sight, and I just can see it?
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Overclock--or not so much?

Is there a consensus on overclocking?

I've never had any stability problems at 768 or below...is there any reason NOT to overclock? Is it unnecessarily abusive of the hardware?

I certainly enjoy the responsiveness of the phone at that speed... :cool:
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I bought two Optimus V phones a few months ago, and they're both stable at 825MHz. I was twice lucky I guess.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
:) i have that also, just haven't messed with it yet. Got it to get full functionality with ES Task Manager :)
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Well, I reflashed gapps and it returned. So I guess I must have deleted it at some point in my last debloating...
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Is Talk.apk necessary for proper market functioning??

The market was VERY wonky for me tonight--until I reflashed gapps. I googled a bit and Google Talk was mentioned in conjunction with the market.

Does anyone know if talk.apk is a requirement to allow the phone and market to play nice together?? I've typically removed it, as I thought I was never using it...

:confused:
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
I'm pretty sure it is. Anytime I've removed it it has broken Google voice
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
QtADB Made Me Squirt A Little

OT (a bit) but I just wanted to sing the praises of QtADB. I just discovered it has a WiFi feature (it's only been installed on my computer for months!!)--so I can stop USB plugging my phone when I want to transfer something (for example) from the computer to the phone... :D

It will even allow me to install an .apk from the computer! :D (No more copying the .apk from the computer to the sdcard, then manually installing it from there...)

Maybe this is old newz to you guys--but this noob is impressed.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Sorry about the confusion. It is the original bootanimation.zip from the BACKside 8/25 rom edited to work properly. I'll edit the post to say as much.

Thanks dingermtb for the advice.

anybody else having an issue installing mrg666 latest update? (VM670-CM7.1-RC1-IHO-08272011_MiRaGe). i've installed it numerous times and it just gets stuck. going back to the 08252011 or jerryscript for now...

i've been installing all of the iho's as they come out to check them out but haven't had any probs until now - i'm not an ace but also "not my first rodeo" either.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Kernel udpates?

Blarf, you mentioned a while back that you're working on kernel updates as low priority, now that this ROM is fairly stable, will these updates be finally making their way in? Or if not, is there a way for people to build kernels based on your commits for kernel updates?
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Those of you building boot animations and having problems. Try this.

Create a folder on your desktop. Inside that folder create the other folders you are using. Copy the .png files form from boot animation zip. If there is a thumbs.db in there delete it that is whats casing your black screen.

Now your desc.text file, be sure to leave a blank line at the end. Select all three items and zip them using your favorite zipper. Using the store only compression create the zip inside the folder you created on your desktop. No copy it over to your sd card or push it via adb.

What I do after I push it via adb to see if it is going to work is in my adb terminal I put this in.

adb shell bootanimation

TO stop it hit control c. If its going to work it will play if its not it will be a black screen.

I suspect your problem is there is a thumbs.db file. Also sometimes trying to reuse a existing zip will fail repeatedly.
[Optimus V Android Development] eep1:
Yep. My phone got stuck in a boot loop after flashing it. Unfortunately it was not as plugged in as I thought it was and the battery died. It's not easy to get to recovery with a dead batty.
[Optimus V Android Development] 1cewolf:
Same here. I then installed EmuZombie's pure build without a hitch.

I can't believe the difference between this and the 8/20 version I was running. Maybe it was a bad install, I don't know, but I just could not deal with the battery life, even with Juice Defender keeping 3G completely off when the screen was off.

I left my phone on last night with the same settings, and the battery dropped a whopping three percent. WOW :eek:
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I have flashed that build three times on two different phones using CWM 3.2.0.1 recovery. There were no problems while flashing and the phones are also working fine with usual battery life.There are about 80 downloads since it was uploaded and I did not hear any consistent error reports that I can repeat on my phones. I suspect either you have a corrupted download (check MD5) or need to do a clean install. Anyway, I am glad Jerry's build worked for you.
[Optimus V Android Development] dajhorn:
I solved all of my Market installation and force-close-on-start problems by removing the 01mvdalvik file and clearing caches.

According to the git history, 01mvdalvik is a deviation in IHO from upstream Cyanogen.
[Optimus V Android Development] longebane:
I'm also getting a bootloop here. Loads up to the lockscreen for 2 seconds and then reboots again. (Not a clean install)
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Can you please tell what was the previous build and which recovery you are using? Did you at least wipe cache and dalvik-cache before flashing?
[Optimus V Android Development] longebane:
Yes, I wiped the cache and dalvik-cache. Recovery is Koush’s 3.2.0.1 and last build was BACKside 08202011
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Thanks for the reply. Since recovery and wiping cache are not the issues, I think the only problem could be different builds. I am pretty sure a clean wipe would help. But Jerry's build is excellent, just keep using it. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] Jsadik123:
Any idea when kernel r2 will be included in the builds?
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Why the Double Apps?

I'm running BobZhome's build from last week. I happened to have QtADB open, and noticed that every app appears to be in TWO places on the phone. (see screencapture)

They don't look like symbolic links; are they actually on BOTH the /data/app and /sd-ext//app ?

I'm still kinda new at this; what am I seeing there?

I performed a clean/full install each time - wiped everything. didn't think of checking md5 so i'll do that later when i return home.

mrg666 08272011

Well I'm at a loss installing the latest update...

I always do a complete install this way:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

format boot, cache, data, system

wipe Dalvik

install rom

install gapps

install data2ext

Oh well, thanks for all your hard work - I'll just wait for the next update and

try that.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
Honestly, all my installation problems went away when I flashed the recommended iho recovery.

If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Did you format boot? :eek: You were not supposed to do that.

I hope you have a nandroid backup on your SD. You can restore your boot partition with that. Otherwise, see the link below to restore your phone to original ROM and flash again with IHO. You are only supposed to format /system, /data, and /cache.

http://www.prepaidandroid.org/index...e_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Wha?

If you watch the screen when it does the factory reset/restore it formats the boot also.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Factory reset or /boot format are not recommended steps in the installation instructions of IHO wiki. I think Jerry wrote them. I have never needed or done those steps either. So, I don't know the screen you mention. Have you been doing that?

I checked the updater-script, the relevant part is below

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

Even if the /boot is formatted it should be reset during the flashing process. Formatting /boot should not be a problem if the recovery is formatting the /boot partition properly.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
I've always formatted /boot whenever doing a complete wipe and never had any problems. Any ideas why it shouldn't be done?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
Yep I always format boot as well with no problems
[Optimus V Android Development] fstmstngs:
status bar transparency

I see mrg666's release has the transparent status bar. Is there a way that this could be added to Jerry's build? Maybe as an additional zip that you could flash?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Yes, I checked the updater script. It should not be a problem. But it is an unnecessary step.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You can do yourself at UOT Kitchen.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Yeah, I don't know why I've been selecting the factory reset? I guess it's something

I picked up when I first began this journey - now that I think about it it's certainly

not necessary...

I use aosp cwm, perhaps I'll try the iho recovery.
[Optimus V Android Development] scgdavis:
Headphone Jack Error anyone?

I just updated to the latest version (08252011) and my headset does not contain audio anymore. I know it's a known issue, but I did not have the problem in the (08192011) version.

BACKSIDE TEAM: You are DOING A FINE JOB!!

THANK YOU!!!!

"Google is your friend..."
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Wondering if this may be the root of my reboot issues as well. I too, formatted boot. So, Completely went back to stock, unrooted, and started completely fresh. Rerooted, wiped cache, dalvik cache, formatted system, sata, cache, sd-ext, then flashed. Reinstalling stuff now. Hopefully this works :)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Formatting boot, system, cache, and data are steps only necessary if you are having issues. It is meant to give you a clean slate to flash the ROM onto. If you are not having issues, you do not need to format anything other than cache (same as wiping cache).
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Another question. How hard is it to change system colors, like the orange bar when adjusting volume? Would love to make it red to go with red theme
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Quick show of hands: Who's eagerly awaiting the latest from BobZ...?!

:D
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
It's as easy as clicking on a few items in UOT Kitchen, uploading the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from the ROM zip file, and waiting about a half hour for the kitchen to bake it, then flashing the zip file the kitchen gives you in recovery. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Awesome! Thanks. I'll be trying it after work :)
[Optimus V Android Development] a224932:
I selected "LG factory reset" in recovery, all is not well

So I must be the first noob that selected "LG Factory Reset" in recovery mode after installing I.H.O. on my LG-VM670.

I installed the rom just fine, but am no longer able to get back into recovery.

When I reboot (reboot and/or recovery), after the lg splash screen it shows the following:

"Android System Recovery

Do not pull out battery!!

Formatting Data...

Formatting Cache...

Factory reset...

Rebooting..."

then the LG splash screen

then I.H.O. screen.

The phone boots up and everything works (phone, email if I set it up, the internet), but everything is reset, meaning anything I changed prior to rebooting the phone is gone.

I cannot get into recovery regardless of what I do. I am frustrated as I have used other roms and managed just fine. I will admit I am an idiot for selecting the "lg factory reset." It would not be that big of a deal, but I no longer have Gapps and cannot install Gapps or anything else.

I do not know what to do and am frustrated at my own stupidity.

Any thoughts on how to get into recovery?
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I did the same think about a week or 2 ago. I posted my fix in the forum. Look for the thread "Safe and Easy way to unbrick LG Optimistic V" by me.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
There's no need to unroot & go back to stock to "start fresh". In fact you risk bricking the phone if you miss a step during the process. Boot into recovery, wiping cache, dalvik-cache, then formatting /boot, /system, /data, and /cache, then reflash a ROM & gapps.zip is enough of a "fresh start".
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
A friend of mine said something about a possible bad or missing boot sector, and mentioned that by reverting then re-doing, it may fix the problem. I figured if it were a chance to fix it, i'd do it. Didn't work though. Still getting the reboots. Gonna try doing multiple wipes then reinstalling again. Possibly something left behind and not getting wiped from AOSP ROM?
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Certainly not the first and most likely not the last. Don't worry about it, happens to lots of people. As such there are lots of people who were able to fix it.

It sounds to me like you reverted back to the stock recovery somehow. Try flashing the IHO recovery. Seems kind of backwards the you can do a full boot but not get into recovery. Same thing happened to me though. And then I perma-bricked my phone. Bottom line, seek help before you fall in the hole you just dug.
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
I have been without power since yesterday morning. I live on the south coast of Massachusetts and Irene did a number on my town. I'll post a new build as soon as I can.

In that regard, just glad to see you're OK, Bob. :D
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
when I flashed a P500 kernel (yes, I know it's a bad idea and the hardware is incompatible)

I had random issues booting into rom or recovery for a couple days.

when I first flashed backside, I tried to see if I could overclock any higher than with other roms (no soup for me, but at least I remembered to turn off apply settings on boot) and also had boot issues afterwards.

I figured out that pulling the battery for a few minutes seemed to help after both experiments, and my phone settled down in a couple of days. reflashing roms, recoveries, and boot.imgs did not help at all.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Definitely gonna try that. If that fixes it i'll be extremely happy, and at the same time slap myself in the forehead as hard as i can, lol
[Optimus V Android Development] 1cewolf:
It looks like my earlier comments about battery life were premature.

Do any of you use Bluetooth on a regular basis? I like to keep it turned on since my car has Ford Sync and I obviously don't know when exactly I'm going to be driving.

When I used Harmonia - the Froyo ROM, not the IHO variant - keeping Bluetooth on didn't decrease my battery life by enough to worry over. I could leave my phone on overnight and be confident that it would still have a good charge by morning.

Not so with IHO; even with a good charge, it's completely dead by morning. With Bluetooth off, it knocks off around 3 percent instead. Something is clearly wrong here.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Im curious to the bolded parts. Do you just randomly find yourself driving? Or is that just saying you do a lot of driving and never know if you are going to be in and out of your vehicle a lot?

Its really easy to use the drop down menu to turn it on and off. I mean real easy. If you are leaving it on all the time you will see a huge difference in battery life. I forgot one afternoon to turn it off and I lost about 30% battery in just under 4 hours. However I know the culprit of that and didnt file a bug.

For the "novice" I highly suggest green power, can be found on the market. With it I average 36ish hours on a charge. However I dont talk much and only get text from the crazy chick we all know, the ex-wife and a friend. Im near wifi most of the time and only use 3g when driving. Soo YMMV but its easier to use then juice defendor.
