[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Is it possible to flash a recovery to the Optimus V using Mac OS X? I have no easy access to my Windows or Linux machines for the next couple of days... :(

[Edit] Looks like some combo of fastboot and adb could work--but only on an Intel machine. Have to wait until later today to try that option...
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
You can just use flash_image if you have that script on your phone
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
you can use terminal emulator.

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/iho-vm670-recovery-4.0.1.4.2.img

reboot
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
recovery can be flashed in terminal emulator without touching a computer if you're already rooted.

you need the flash_image arm binary and the recovery.img you want installed.

if you can't find instructions for that process I'll add 'em to this post on request if someone else doesn't cover it first.

edit: man, two of you beat me to it!
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Stock IHO includes flash_image.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Lol I guess I get to wait for someone to claim that then.

[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
Not sure what went wrong first time.

Just tried to flash_image recovery iho* > /sdcard/fiout.txt

All ran fine. redirecting output failed on me, only first line went to file. Forgot that I'd have to redirect within the script itself. Oops.

But yeah, it worked. Perhaps I had accidentally canceled out of su or something?
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
In the grand scheme of things not really that big a deal as it's just an extra thumb swipe, have just been used to dealing without the lockscreen.

.....and I'd hate to be responsible for any delay with ICS!:D
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Anyone else on the East Coast not seen the "spring ahead" in network time?
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
If you are referring to daylight savings time, my phone made the adjustment just fine. My wife's phone on the other hand, would only show the correct time on the lock screen. A quick reboot fixed it right up.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Yeah. Seems that Sprint is being lax with their network and/or towers. An easy solution is to use an app called clocksync. Works best on wifi, but using 3g shouldn't be to far off. Surprised that Android hasn't put this in base, since we all know that companies can be lax.

So far disabling ics rotation has worked fine, and the bug is gone. Considering that some have the issue and others don't, I wonder if there may be an issue with hardware versions.

Have noticed that some apps freeze lately when they put the phone under heavy load. Wife says angry birds Rio (from Amazon) locks up a lot and the screen acts wacky when resetting a level, and I've noticed a few apps get weird myself now and again.

Also noticed that the little positioning cursor that I love is sometimes not in sync with the actual cursor position trending to get worse as you get further from the center of the screen. Not a huge deal but kinda annoying.

Anyhow, thanks for making IHO, love it despite the works here and there!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
If you get screen freezes with Angry Birds, it's most likely due to one of two reasons:

--advertisements loading in, sometimes their ads have issue while loading

--your overclock is too high, back it down a notch or two and retest ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Didn't even think of just rebooting... don't know how I missed that one. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for this... never knew this app existed.
[Optimus V Android Development] dwgjr330:
hey just wondering what would cause constant hanging up of texts on the network- it happens to me 2 or 3 times a week where my phone wont get texts and then i will get all of them all at once- kinda annoying- I reboot relatively regularly- maybe once or twice a day sometimes.

any suggestions of what is fudging on my end or on virgin/ sprint side of things?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Of course, I'll lay the blame squarely on VM's shoulders. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Have no overclock here, running with default settings in that regard. I can't afford to end up with a smoldering puddle of plastic. I'm also generally not a fan of overclocking.

I've also noticed a strange hesitation lately, and it appears it's getting worse, but then it will act fine later. Kinda making me wonder if something is running in the background that doesn't appear in the history, or in system panel lite app. I might have changed some setting somewhere andjust don't realize it... Are there any advanced settings that could do this than I might have clicked inadvertently while looking at the advanced options? The only one I purposely changed was disabling the boot animation. I checked the governor and it is set to on demand.

Btw, the battery is acting much nicer after charging it for several hours, clearing the battery stats, and draining it till the phone shut off. All day so far and heavy use, with 26 percent left so far.
[Optimus V Android Development] ganggreen30:
Many weeks my phone did this with gmaps Until the last update it finally downloaded.

Do a google search for betterbatterystats xda, it's an app that will let you see exactly what is using your battery. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] nixie2121:
how do you read better battery stats? maybe I am slow but I did not get it?
[Optimus V Android Development] freestylejunki32:
First of all thanks for all the great work I really enjoy the rom. I seem to have a constant issue with the screen thinking I'm touching someplace else like an inch lower than ik really am. Also, almost any keyboard I use has major lag issue. I am using swype currently because the built in keyboard is totally unusable to me because it the glitchyness. Is there any fix for this?
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I have noticed some screen jerkiness while the phone is connected to a PC, but it works very well the rest of the time. Have you tried different roms?
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Felt like posting this. The result of my playing with the iho repo. Enjoy

http://db.tt/kU2b4JqH

Launcher2, bobzhome v3.7 kernel. Rest is pure iho
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
I too would like to know how to figure out what things mean on betterbatterystats
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I think you should replace both versions of pure IHO builds in the Wiki with your build. We can remove the notice about kernel incompatibility after that.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Should I rebuild with adw launcher first? Or is "almost pure" enough to replace iho-purity?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I am not sure you decide. If you decide to go back to ADWLauncher to be ultra pure, my suggestions would be pointing to the zip file for Launcher 2 option. See #4 in the optional files section down the page.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Or (since I really like launcher2) i'll just make a zip for adw. Is that good?
[Optimus V Android Development] freestylejunki32:
I have tried other roms such as the LEWA port which worked pretty well and i didnt notice nearly as much glitchyness to it. I was just wondering if there are any settings under performance that might fix it maybe. I dont want to overclock if i can help it because when i do i always get random reboots even when only jumping up 1 notch above stock.
[Optimus V Android Development] rarsenaux:
Sorry if this has been answered, but i could not find it in the thread:

When the phone is plugged in to an AUX device like a car stereo, you lose the microphone function when a call comes in. The phone must be removed from the AUX jack for the microphone to work. Before the phone was rooted, this feature would work, and you could speak to the other party without disconnecting and hear them through the car speakers.

Is there a setting for this or a workaround?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
New build of BACKside is up:

Download via the BacksideUpdater

or

BACKside-IHO-VM670-03132012.zip

md5sum 9a5fa707bb2553e0bfb562b1e9ea6829

GreenMachineTheme-03132012.zip

Download DrewWalton's amazing touch screen recovery here!

md5sum bda76ec1214f88eeb922d05fb18fa1e7

Changes:

--Reverted fingerprint frameworks and pin landscape commits from CM - needs testing to see if this fixes reports of pin screen not functioning properly

--Added an experimental Suspend mode to the power menu - this will put your phone in a semi-deep sleep state similar to airplane mode - no phone calls or messages - but you will still get your alarms - might be good for overnite power savings when no charger is available

--Made the date in the status bar follow the clock color - been meaning to do this for a while now

--Made the status bar system icons follow the general theme of being green when active/connected

--Improved the functionality of the statusbar restart in settings

--Added ability to use any file manager with all BACKside tweaks - status bar mods - BacksideUpdater - etc - no more requirement to use OI File manager exclusively

edit-- forgot the bootanimation changer, it will be changed in the next build

--Added option in BacksideUpdater to download previous versions back to the beginning of the year - once a different date is selected you can download - view changelog - check md5sum - then reboot to recovery to install

--Added option in BacksideUpdater to install a recovery within the app - choose recovery file and it will install it - then reboot straight into the new recovery to test it - I highly recommend Drewwaltons touch recovery!

Note -- If the changelog doesn't show when you load an old version, swipe down in the black text box, it's because the last text showing was larger, will fix in next build.

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

Edit: Forgot, I fixed the png transparency support in the notification dropdown chooser. :p

[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
That sounds to my like the carrier. If your phone receives the messages, it displays them. Only two scenarios I know of where the tower sends and the phone doesn't get it is if the phone is off, or the cell radio is turned off (airplane mode).

Call 'em up and give them your 2 cents worth. Might do some good but fair warning I did this not long ago and I had to fake them into thinking I'd used the activation 'cause they wanted me to reactivate my phone and I didn't want them to know it was rooted.

IMHO, an optional adw zip file is good. I have removed the other purity builds since they were outdated and one of them was even incompatible with newer OV phones. So, yours is the new pure build. But I noticed that you have removed the terminal application. I think that is a necessary tool for accessing the commandline. I would recommend adding the terminal app back to your build if you will be regularly building and sharing with the others. Thanks for your work!
[Optimus V Android Development] dwgjr330:
didnt think there was anymore greatness that could be packed into this rom- but was i wrong.

[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Not sure why but recreating the mount scripts doesn't work for me. Upon first reboot it asks to recreate the mount scripts (nothing about partition size) so I selected my partition type (ext4) and rebooted. Most of my apps didn't show up and my internal memory was full so I tried recreating the mount scripts again. That failed also so I just selected all user apps > created links and rebooted (and did that again as the rest of my apps appeared when I rebooted after the first time recreating links).

Don't think I should have to go through all of that but I guess it works.

Jerry - thanks for fixing the "disable lockscreen when using security" - noticed that immediately upon first boot.:cool:
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I see that your rom is going by the name "almost-purity", but what would you say about calling it "Ivory" based on their 99.44% pure slogan? :p
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Sure! Need a good name for it
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Dunno what changed, Jerry, but the frequent pauses seen to have gotten much better since the update. Maybe I had a bad download or something. Still happens occasionally, especially at startup. Keeps saying ADW is hung asking to force close, but waiting works. I still get it here and there though. Btw, the new recovery is great.

also, GPS is acting up again, takes a long time to get a fix, and every once in a while it looses position.

The hangs are weird. It hung up 2 times while typing this out, and how I get it to continue is closing the keyboard and reopening it, then it spews it everything I've typed before.

I'm using Swype beta, if that helps any. Takes more screen real estate, but to me it's invaluable.

Awesome work, and if there is anything I can do to locate the issue, I'm all ears!
[Optimus V Android Development] mikesting:
I'm using Swype beta and i'm geting alot of hung up's to and im on the new Jerry rom and i cant find a way to stop it and tryed to not use Swype but it did not stop it so i looked at my oc and tryed some with it and no luck at all :confused:
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
So maybe it's Swype? Is there some way we can log the systems' behavior to document this and get it to either the Swype devs, or cm devs?

Meh, just read you tried with and without Swype. Guess that rules that out partially. The log thing might still be of use, if anyone knows of some app I can document the system behavior with.
[Optimus V Android Development] ishban:
I think its a vm issue happens on my phone and on daughters non rooted vm phone
[Optimus V Android Development] ishban:
Help with touch recovery.

Never mind must have been a bad download all good now. Nice recovery, like the color too
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I've been having trouble with the latest Swype beta, too. I'd always get a FC at boot, then erratic behavior after that.

I ended up uninstalling it. Miss it, though... :(
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
To grab a log:

--Open Terminal emulator and type the following:

su
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

--Next, press the Home key to get out of terminal, DO NOT EXIT OR PRESS BACK!

--Now attempt to recreate the issue (keyboard freezing)

--Once finished testing, re-open terminal

--Press the menu key and toggle the soft keyboard

--Hold the Down_Volume key and press the "c" on the keyboard (cntrl+c), then enter

--Exit out of terminal emulator

--Transfer the logcat.txt file located on your sdcard to your PC

--Copy the contents of the logcat to pastebin.com

--Post the url from pastebin here (or to the devs of the software in question).

Seems complicated, but it's really just a three set process. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
My problem is that it seems sporadic so I never know when I should turn it on and catch it. Literally seems random, like something is running in the background at odd intervals. Maybe I can try to see if there is a pattern. Don't know if there is anything like cron in Android but it is based on Linux, so I dunno if perhaps there is some scheduled job in the background. since posting that last message I haven't even had a peep out of it.

Is there something like dmesg in Android? Wondering if perhaps it could be hardware specific. I had something similar happen on a BSD router I set up and it ended up being a feature turned on that my network card didn't support, that would periodically freeze up the card/driver and hang the whole system until it sorted itself out.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Just do the logcat right after you have the issue, it will load everything since boot.

And yes, there is dmesg as well, you run it in terminal pretty much the same:

su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
That's useful. Never knew they kept these tools in Android, figured they'd take too much space. Alright. So I need to get a terminal app, and next time my phone acts up I'll get you both. hopefully, dmesg shows drivers loading and any weird issues. If you don't need that, I'll just send logs.

Edit: I love Swype. Dmesg-swag? Lol
[Optimus V Android Development] OttoDeFe:
Had a bad update (Superuser and market disappeared) and ended up having to do a complete wipe. Decided to upgrade my SD card to a class 10. I used Drew's recovery to partition and format the sd-ext. The phone never seems to get beyond checking for errors. Needless to say, the data I had placed there from my back up was never available (and wifi wouldn't toggle on, etc) So should I have used a different method to partition and format?
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
If you reformat/partition in recovery you will lose all data on the sdcard (so make sure to backup & copy data to your pc beforehand). You can use something like MiniTool Partition Wizard to change/add a partition to the sdcard without losing your data (though again it's always a better idea to make a backup just in case). You can resize your main partition, then add an ext 2,3 or 4 partition - just make sure to make it primary and give it a 4k cluster size (or you'll have to reformat it through adb or such).
[Optimus V Android Development] dwgjr330:

Wiped and flashed Jerry's latest (031312) this morning. I don't usually use Gallery, but I didn't have my usual QuickPic installed yet. Gallery went into 100% CPU mode, then the phone locked-up completely. It's happened twice now. I had to pull the battery the second time...

Phone is slightly OC'd (320x787?)--not sure if that is a factor or not. Has anyone else experienced this? I'll probably just uninstall it as I really prefer QuickPic anyway...

[Edit] "Android Media Process" seems to be the one that's running really high CPU cycles while Gallery is grinding away...
