How important/necessary is this step?:

Why, after wiping everything (as outlined in the 3rd post in this thread) are all/most of my previously installed apps present at first boot?? Is that what wiping the sdcard would take care of? (As in, maybe those are the apps that I 'moved' to the sdcard??)

So far, this flash is not going well AT ALL. Several spontaneous reboots... Not good... The Market app seems to freeze/crash fairly consistently. I even tried to restore GMail via Titanium--but that caused a reboot also.

[Edit] Had to restore the Aug 3rd ROM.

If I reformat the sdcard from within the recovery, how do I get the ROM and gapps .zips back on there to flash from??
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
I see I need to re-phase that...you need to format your sd card to add a ext partition so that Darktremor Apps2SD works correctly. sorry for the confusion.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Okay, this explains a LOT. At some point several weeks ago, after updating to the latest clockwork recovery mod, I seemed to have lost the ability to select options with the menu button. I kept returning to an earlier version, because the menu button still worked. Turns out they just changed the select button! Who knew?? I'm doing a backup from the latest IHO recovery, and the camera button worked as promised.

Yay!
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
So, how DOES one delete/wipe/clear all the apps that were moved to the sdcard in a previous ROM? I have a feeling that's what's messing up Bob's ROM for me. Or is it unnecessary to do that?
[Optimus V Android Development] kayrypee:
thank u

thank u, just making sure
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Put it in a card reader or use the recovery. Because you can still use the recovery to put the phone in mass storage mode you can still load the appropriate zips after you format your card.

If I try and download from mediafire on the phone itself and the download fails for some reason, it refuses to let me restart.
[Optimus V Android Development] bananaboat23:
I bought it off somebody on craigslist (they bought it new on black friday from target), so I don't know if this applies to me, but it's worth a shot.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
Yeah no need to worry about the battery for now unless new reports come in.

BFQ works well on desktops because most desktops use a spinning hard drive, and it tries to optimize how much content is written as the read head spindle takes some time to go from parked position to read/write mode. Flash drives don't need to wait.

I run 122-864 Interactive and get great response and excellent battery (about 5-6 days between charges with my usage patterns). Interactive and ondemand ramp DOWN at about the same rate, ramping UP on interactive is more aggressive. That can also finish tasks quicker so the CPU goes to idle mode faster, thus saving battery in the big picture. There's little test data to backup a lot of these claims, most are just based on theory. Since I notice better response using interactive WITHOUT worse battery than ondemand, I keep it on interactive.

Someone asked earlier the difference between interactiveX and interactive, the X locks the CPU to min freq when screen is off, which can affect some apps that do processing in the background, pandora is an example of something that requires more CPU cycles to play music with screen off. With the stock android music app, it can play MP3's fine at 122 Mhz with screen off (use CPU Spy to check for yourself).
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Hey for some reason the"flash image GUI" program is saying that the new recovery isn't for an Optimus. Guessing the app is wrong but just checking. Also is there another program i can use to flash from within the phone in case the app is wrong? The app i have is free on these forums but the app store says it's not free to update... Computer is down. I don't know if flashing via the recovery is possible or bright, since it would be overwriting itself while running.
[Optimus V Android Development] tlgraber:
Change all the capital letters in the .img file name to lower case. For some reason the app won't flash it otherwise, at least that was my experience.

Slow charging over USB

One thing that I've noticed recently is the slow charging over USB on Mirage w/ BobZHome 3.7 kernel and tvall's 0.2 kernel, it takes my phone about 5 hrs to go from 21% to 100% on USB. If I use the same PC USB port, but with a non-LG cable & micro-USB adapter, I can charge in 2 hrs because the phone recognizes it as AC charging (in Settings - About Phone). So it seems that the USB port is capable of more current, but either the kernel or ROM somewhere is not enabling the higher current. I remember blarf enabled faster charging last fall in IHO ROMs, here's the previous commit that is related to this issue.

https://github.com/inferiorhumanorg...mmit/3d6a8b097dc6c0783df39fdbac4cf8ea3c807ba7

BTW using the same LG cable with the LG AC adapter also charges faster, so the cable isn't the problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
just looked at my kernel and its the same code, so something else must be going on there.
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
Ondemand doesn't downclock as gracefully as the others though, so it fits the bill when I do use my device, which consists of alot of reading and surfing. Having the device on most of the time and in engagement, well, I wouldn't want my CPU to be clocked so high so often. Sure, it can get stuff done faster, but having it generate more heat as I do nothing but read isn't all too cool.

Thus, really, all of it depends on your usage. Judging from your time between charges you don't really use the data/radio as much as I do, I need a steady connection for various reasons. Whereas you can easily get away with having your clocks so high, I cannot sadly. I do too much on my phone.

For me, I do alot of reading and surfing and texting, so I want my phone to stay clocked low and only coming out when I really need to do something to maximize life. Hence, I tweak the conservative governor a bit for some more responsiveness. It's slower to scale up, keeping my clocks low when I generally do anything except when I

really

need it.
[Optimus V Android Development] mikesting:
my is charging fast by the wall or my pc so i don't get why you try and say it's the kernel win charging is working good on 2 cell's for me and im on tvall's 0.2 kernel and was on BobzHome kernel and it was working to so maybe it's just your cell?

This bluetooth issue has been there for a few builds now. Everytime i want to pair my headset i have to turn bluetooth on, long press on my headset in the device list, unpair, then re-pair. Takes about 5 minutes to do it everytime too.

You can also flash in terminal. Place the image file on your sd card (not in any folders). Open terminal and use this command.

Just a note: while faster charging gets you moving faster, it also kills the battery faster. Generates more heat on the batteries. Also even though it's lithium ion, it does seem to hold a charge longer when charged slower.guessing it gets more ions turned but at a lower charge per ion.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
It's possible it's just my phone, or something in the Mirage ROM. Could someone else who runs that ROM report how long charging using a PC USB port takes?

From what I've read in the source code for Ondemand and Interactive governors, ondemand uses a timer for sampling CPU load and ramps up or down after a time interval. Interactive always ramps to max CPU when coming out of an idle cycle, without waiting for any timer interval, which gives the better response. Ramping down is the same timer method as ondemand. Interactive should also be quicker to finish processing a chunk of code and return to a lower frequency, thus saving battery.

Could do a simple test, install CPU spy, reset its counters, perform your typical usage patterns for a minute, return to CPU Spy see how much time is spent at certain frequencies. Change governor, repeat same usage pattern for a minute and check in CPU spy again. I'm pretty sure interactive governor will spend more time at the lower frequencies.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Btw, has anyone found out how to obtain the radio update and a flashing method that they could point me to? The signal around my house has gone to shoot and the first thing they asked is if I'd updated...i feigned ignorance.
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
I have (with each new phone I do these tests for days), and actually OnDemand does spend more time at lower frequencies. Sometimes Interactive will randomly scale up for me, but OnDemand does not have this behavior for me.

Good to see knowledge passed around. :cool:

[Optimus V Android Development] alexhood93:
How do you solve the invalid package issue?
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Links2SD is what most people use.

I just use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall some app(s) I don't use often. Then I can download anything, and when I need the app I've uninstalled, I just restore it via TB. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Should my phone be "awake" almost all the time??

I made some changes to my phone in the last few days: upgraded to Jerry's latest, installed tvall's kernel, removed my OC settings (back down to stock settings) via CPU Master, etc...

My battery seems to be dropping much faster than I'm used to. When I checked my battery stats I noticed that the phone seems to be 'awake' almost constantly--even though it's screen-off and in it's case on my belt the vast majority of the day...

I'm not sure I'm really clear on what 'awake' and 'sleep' states refer to--should my phone be this awake this often? (attached) :confused:

I'm used to having a battery in the high-70's to mid-80's after a full day of typical use....
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
You get a full day on BACKside with normal usage, that's about it. ;)

20-27 hours is the norm, but it all depends on the apps/widgets/settings you run, and the cell phone reception you have at the moment. Some people with basically nothing running get 30-40, but I prefer to use a smart phone, and that means apps are running that use the battery. I average 26hrs on a single charge.

Remember, rebooting, installing apps, testing apps out after a new ROM install to see how they work, all this eats your battery up the first few days after installation. For example, the second or even third day, you may use apps you haven't since a ROM update/install, and so the cache and/or dalvik-cache may need to be rebuilt for that app, or the app may need to do extra communication with host servers to download data you wiped before installing, etc, all eating extra battery.
[Optimus V Android Development] bananaboat23:
You're right! Five minutes on the line with VM and they're sending a replacement phone free of charge.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I've hung out here enough to know I should wait a few days before becoming concerned about battery usage... ;) But this is, like, day three and I was wearing the phone most of the day (ie, not using it much). It's plummeting way quicker than I'm used to. I might restore my last backup and see if things are any different...
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:

Just something i noticed for you guys tweaking the governors:

On my phone, I've noticed Pandora and the phone in general are more responsive when on demand is used. Interactive seems to have problems with the screen locked. Pandora gets slow and the deciding seems to lag. Also while actively using the phone, it is more responsive while multitasking , ie using this app, typing with Swype, and listening to Pandora. Lags horribly on interactive
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
One thing before i do this. Is Jerry's new recovery good for this, out should i just follow that to the letter and reflash the old recovery? Asking cause i don't really like flashing too much, not sure how many flashes this phone can handle before the memory starts to bit fade.

Don't worry about the flash. All the devs have flashed their phones more times than you probably ever will and I haven't heard of an issue yet. :)

[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
For anyone that's interested (a limited number of people, I'm sure!) my battery issue turned out to be caused by an update to my BeWeather app--an otherwise stellar performer. The update happened on the same day that I flashed Jerry's new ROM (or shortly thereafter). The author already uploaded a new version that addressed that--but I haven't been able to test it enough to see if it's fixed. (Something about "wake issues" or something...)

Mucho gratitido to whomever it was that suggested "Big Ass..Bad Ass Battery Monitor--that thing is WAY easier to use than 'betterbatterystats'... :D
