Hey mrg... I'm getting the zero-byte file error from the Kitchen again; do you happen to remember what you changed in the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files last time I had this problem?
[Optimus V Android Development] java007:
I plan to stick with the OV for a while. Still working well, does what I need, and the $25/month price is also working well :)

Once the OV dies or gets dropped one too many times, I'll be looking for another phone with the same great level of dev support. Appreciate all the hard work and sharing from the community.

Quick question dose these kernel's support loop?.....

VM670-Puff, Puff, Puff,...... Just send'n smoke signals
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Yep, you trying to bootup Linux by any chance? It works on IHO flawlessly, it's just somewhat of a pain to setup.

Status Bar Brightness....

Just noticed my Status Bar Brightness control hack no longer works. In Cyanogen settings / interface / status bar tweaks i noticed the option to enable / disable is 'Greyed Out' but checked.... i'd recently added Cosmos PrivacyScan+JunkCleaner and performed a junk clean up, i'm thinking it's removed some rom files i need to make the brightness tweak work...I've tried a reboot, no dice, have removed said app, after an additional reboot, status bar brightness tweak option remains greyed out? Confused...... Reflash?

EDIT - tried reflashing, no change, figuring i'm bound for a complete factory reset unless i hear something....
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
There was a recent discussion at AC about the Bluetooth interfaces having the same address in all OVs with IHO based ROMs. I have a solution to the problem as follows.

With the following flashable zip file, the next boot process will create a MAC number with B0:89:91:XX:XX:XX where XX are randomly generated, i.e. 16 million possibilities. If the number has been generated before, it will not be changed in the subsequent boots, i.e. the MAC number will be persistent. If you do a complete wipe (just cache/dalvik-cache wipe is fine) the Mac number will be regenerated. But you can edit the file /data/rnd_bdaddress or just restore the file from your backup to keep the same MAC number.

You can flash this zip file which will replace /system/bin/bdaddr_read and /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus. You will only need to re-pair your connections.

For anyone who wants to see/use, the modified source files are below for download. I have revised both C files. You should know where they go.

brcm_patchram_plus.c

bdaddr_read.c

in display, you have automatic brightness checked for brightness control.

Did i miss something? Is Jerry done developing for the V? I'm gonna be sad if so :-(
[Optimus V Android Development] Carnifax:
That's not an option, but thanks. A nandroid restore fixed things.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
As far as I know, no. He is probably busy.

@mrg666

Is that a remedy to not being able to connect two OVs via Bluetooth and send files?

I have not been able to do so since both phones were stock 2.2.2.

Running CM9 4.0.4 if that helps any.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Yes. Since all phones have the same BT MAC address, they block each other when there are more than one OVs in the vicinity with BT on.

Now, my question to you: Do you have more than one OV with stock ROM right now? If so, can you please check if they have the same BT MAC address? Is it

43:21:D1:00:00:00

You should be able to see it after turning BT on under settings > about phone > status. I would appreciate if you can check this out.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
I wish I could help but both of my OVs are on CM9(unofficial) Android 4.0.4.

My gf has about 7GB of music I'd like to copy to my phone.... sadly our PC just kicked the bucket. So I have been trying on IHO & ICS to transfer the files via Bluetooth and neither have worked.

This is what my BT-MAC currently is:

43 :25 : D1 :00 : 00 : 00

Without the spaces(damn Smileys)
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
There are reports that CM9 also has the same problem. Try my patch on the IHO phone (not cm9). After reboot you will have a different MAC on the phone with IHO. So different MACs can work after that.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Will do.

Downloading latest Mirage now.

EDIT: Done switching back to Gingerbread(IHO MiRaGe). Here is my current BT-MAC after flashing the BT Patch:

B0 : 89 : 91 : 6C : 1D : 6D

Negate the spaces.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Everything seems in order. You have a new BT MAC number now. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Ah, it's so nice to be back on Gingerbread... everything works!

ICS for the OV isn't quite there yet.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I know what you mean. I like ics and tdm and the sprint fellows are doing a great job. But MRG laces his rom with crack and I can't stay away from it. We are spoiled with our developers. If I didn't have a near flawless ics on my kindle fire already, I would probably be more anxious about it on my phone
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
ICS on the Kindle Fire?

How is the Fire? Been thinking about getting one but am afraid it isn't as functional as an iPad...
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I love it. I only got it because it was on sale and the development is amazing. My only 2 problems with it are no expandable memory and no Bluetooth. But I love the size, I wouldn't want anything bigger. 10inch pads are too akward. Anyways pm me if you have any questions, lets get back to how awesome iho is :p
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'm sorry for going off topic but my girlfriend just got me an LG myTouch 4G as a anniversary present, I don't really know what to do. I love my OV and my service on VM, I guess I'll use the myTouch as a wifi airplane mode device

[Optimus V Android Development] ganggreen30:
Does anyone know the best kernel to use with jerryscripts backside rom? I am using tvalls kernel but since bobz came out with a new one is it better? Any true and tried answers thanks.

[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Mrg- my only critique is I wish there was a different boot logo. I disable the boot animation so the huge android guy is what I see.

Maybe use your avatar-that guy looks cool. Or something android but more muted colors.

:D
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I really didn't pay much attention to that picture. I was looking for something Android related to replace the annoying/time-wasting VM animation. It was one of the first pictures I found after googling "Android logo". Besides I don't like putting my name on the boot sequence. 99.99% of the code is Android/CM7; their logos must be there. The kernel boot logo is functionally necessary for me since it indicates when the kernel starts and passes the control to OS in the boot sequence. Feel free to suggest a standard Android/Linux picture here. It will not be my priority but I can replace it if everybody likes it. It must be an Android or Linux logo, I will not put anything specific about MiRaGe or IHO or anything unrelated even if it is the funniest thing in the world. This is my only preference.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Thanks I figured you like the official look too. If you did like the custom thing I suggested your avatar because it isn't too shabby. If I see something out there that looks nice I'll pass it along but I agree that it wouldn't be on the top of the list.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Well.. Bob's new one is just changes for zv9. Mine also has the same patches for that. And I'm adding in all the changes mrg666 added recently.

So, if you find my kernel runs better, it should still run better. If you don't, try others.
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
did you ever get this working? been trying to find a way to do this for a week now and coming up empty handed.

Well, I managed to get it to work using shareGPS and a few adb commands, and a program on the computer, but really I do NOT recommend it. For some reason using the USB serial connection maxes to CPU on the phone (program, hardware, or android's fault, I dunno), and it either hard-locks the phone for a battery pull, or it just crashes the phone into rebooting itself.

Using Bluetooth works fine though.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I find it funny that you don't like the boot logo because I think it's great. Different strokes for different folks.

Mrg, since you have at times played around with some icons and colors; what are the odds of you one day removing from the MiRaGe builds the last bits of orange seen in some places, with the keyboard I think being the most notable?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I agree, orange must go :) Let's see.
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
Hey MRG, I figured since you compiled Launcher2 on the wiki, I was wondering if there was a way to make it smooth. Kinda like the Optimus One. Launcher2 on the V has kinda chunky transitions.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Since I have not used it since many months, I don't really remember how was its performance. I have also never tried it with the ICS transitions more recently added into CM7. tvall was working on adding the 3D drawer in the Launcher2. Did you try his build?
[Optimus V Android Development] ganggreen30:
Tvall..When will ur new kernel be available 4 download?

Sent from my LG-VM670 using Xparent Pink Tapatalk 2
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
Once someone decides to pay the internet bill. Almost done with it.

Edit: check my thread. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
3D app drawer doesn't affect homescreen scrolling.

I find it chucky when I use a wallpaper, but when I use a live wallpaper, its less chunky.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
You are right. I just meant tvall has a more recent build.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
wallpapers/logos

Found some images on the interweb I thought were cool and did some editing/cropping to get them down to phone scale. Sharing them here if anyone wants to pick them up.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Thanks, I am picking up the evolution as the boot screen as we discussed. That looks great. I might either use the rle directly or add an "Android" label somewhere.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. Live wallpapers of any kind don't lag Launcher2
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
if you need the original use google image search & search for "android evolution imagesize:1920x1080"
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
kool
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
If you use the Gingerbread launcher on the market, there is no lag at all.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Y'know, I haven't messed with it for a while. I spent some a few hours or so with no results and kind of forgot about it. If I remember correctly I tried using some software packages (Streets & Trips, DeLorme) and then went further with some other things I downloaded but got frustrated.

When I have the time I'll try to research it some more. It could be that some code has to be written to access and control the GPS on the mobile - I'll know much more when I have an entire day or so to devote to this.:eek:

Here's a link I found a while back that's probably a good start if you're motivated: http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html

EDIT: just remembered something - I think whatever software used needs to be NMEA capable (I think that's a standard or signal or such... again, this is not my area of expertise).
[Optimus V Android Development] bennettg:
i have read that the optimus v supports a2dp bluetooth. does this rom support it too?

also, can someone make a recommendation for set cpu settings to maximize performance? frequencies and governor type?

This appears to be the same issue that I am having on my Optimus V with regards to sporadic wifi disconnects. I wonder if someone with wifi issues could build a ROM with the changes from init.inc.rc applied to our init.thunderc.rc in order to test if this fix works for us? Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to build myself.

Clarification Needed on Flashing the BobZHome 0804

Sorry for being all noobish and post-y... (But, hey, I DID finally donate last night! :D )

I'm still trying to figure out why my BobZHome ROM runs like crap (multiple recurrent crashes and reboots).

-- I used the 3.0.2.4 recovery on Bob's Wiki page. But I notice that moonknightus says,

Wondering if that would make a difference.

-- BobZ clarified that the "you may have to format the sdcard" on his wiki page refers--not to reformatting (wiping) the ENTIRE card (as I interpreted it), but to just creating an ext partition

In three attempts to flash and run BobZhome's ROM, I have NOT performed that step. I'm wondering if this ROM *requires* and ext partition to run properly?

-- In every other ROM install I've done involving wiping/formatting the /cache /boot /dalvik, etc, etc, my previous apps have NOT been present after flashing. For some reason, when I flash this BobZ ROM, it looks like all/most of the apps I've moved to the sdcard (via the gingerbread function) in the previous ROM are all there after flashing the new ROM. This isn't good, is it? Do I need to take steps to make sure they're not there? If so, what are those steps? Wiping (reformatting) the ENTIRE sdcard first? Or something else? (Where ARE the apps that have been moved to the sdcard via gingerbread stored, by the way?!)

[ [Edit] Ah HA! It seems there are some "dot" files on the sdcard that I couldn't see--as I'm using a Mac at the mo' (see below). There's a .android_secure, a .fseventsd, and a .giq directory! It looks like the vast majority of my 'moved-to-sdcard' apps are in the .android_secure directory ]

-- I'm house-sitting this week, and have been using the House Intel Mac--rather than my usual Linux and/or Windows setup at home. Any reason this would affect a ROM flash (since I'm transfering .zips and .imgs via USB from the Mac)?

Of course, it's possible this BobZ ROM just doesn't like my phone (I'd be interested to hear if anyone has gotten this ROM running nicely), but I'm new enough at this stuff to wonder if I'm just doing something wrong... :o
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
My interest is piqued now, so I decided to try USB tethering on a Windows XP 32-bit machine at work.

I find that the key difference between XP's and 7's behavior is that, unlike 7, XP pulls up a Found New Hardware window when I enable tethering. From there, I can point it to the inf file, and all's well in the world. Windows 7 gives me only the "failed" window I showed earlier, so I can't think of a way to make it "grab onto" the device (I'm lacking terminology here :p ) in that split second before tethering disables itself.

Something I thought of this morning is the Add Hardware wizard. That might be able to help find the tethering component of the phone in Windows 7. I'll try it out tonight and post results.

One last thing: on XP, the computer will stop recognizing the phone altogether if I enable and disable tethering a couple times. At that point, I've found no recourse but to uninstall and reinstall the LG drivers, after which it works as before. So under XP, it's fickle but functional.

Edit: I'm not blaming anyone but Microsoft for any of this, by the way. I use OS X primarily, but it's necessary to hop on a Windows machine sometimes.
[Optimus V Android Development] nixie2121:
So on bumblebee with over 70 app installed and using link to sd I still had over 130 megabytes available. I install this rom I'm with only half the applications installed I am already down to 84 megabytes..?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I will stay with builds that are as close to Blarfie's IHO (and consequently CM7.1) as possible. I have BACKside installed and it is working great on my phone. Blarfie and Jerry, thank you so much for the ROM and builds.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
That's because this is CM7 with all it's extra goodies. You can delete a lot of things to bring it down to size. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] nixie2121:
Thanks ..just wanted to be sure all was ok
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
Blarf, since you've said you're not going to follow the AndroidCentral thread religiously anymore, two people having the wi-fi issues reported that they're both using Belkin routers. When I first got my OV, I also had a Belkin router and was unable to connect at all on the stock ROM. Friends with iPod Touches had had similar problems before that. Then when I went in to fiddle with the router settings, the thing bricked itself (seriously, I disabled WPA, and the lights went off), so I bought a Netgear.

That could be something to keep an eye out for: the router. Maybe certain routers (particularly Belkins) don't play nicely with our phone. It may be the fault of the router manufacturer(s) rather than a bug in CM7 or IHO. I'm just speculating at this point, of course. (And I myself am not experiencing any wi-fi problems.)
[Optimus V Android Development] nixie2121:
Looks like a great rom Jerry but I need to be able to talk on the phone while headphones are plugged in or a cassette adapter ..keep up the good work and hopefully that can be figured out.
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
I will have to make my statement a little more clearer...

You need to have an ext partition on your sd card with my ROM, because Darktremor Apps2SD automatically moves the dalvik to the ext partition.

I may either remove Darktremor Apps2SD and/or stop it from moving dalvik to avoid this issue. Sorry for not making things clear enough.
[Optimus V Android Development] moonknightus:
I don't recall saying that but you should thank whoever did because it's good advice. The IHO recovery works great for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I am sorry BobZhome, but I think it would be great if you can create your own thread and discuss the issues related to your build over there. Blarfie wrote in the first post that IHO is intended to stay as close to CM7.1 as possible. You are apparently not following his approach and creating a highly personalized ROM. Thus, the problems arise can probably be unrelated to IHO. This is causing even more confusion here while many BACKside problems are already related to personal installation/configuration mistakes. Following this thread becomes even more difficult with your ROM problems. I don't know what Blarfie and Jerry thinks but, imho, the builds that are not closely IHO based should be discussed in their own threads.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I appreciate the (ongoing) clarification(s). (Unfortunately, with me, you can never clarify too much! :o )

I've JUST reflashed your ROM--but did NOT create an ext partition. Everything seems fine so far. What kind of problems do you think I'll encounter for having skipped this step??

If, in fact, I need to start over and create that partition, what settings would you recommend? (I started to look at the options, but wasn't sure what sizes, etc, I should select.)
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
On my latest attempt, I used the latest CWM (3.2.0.1)

Bob is indicating in another response that his ROM should have this ext partition. I didn't see his clarification in time, so did NOT create this partition, but things seem to be working okay so far... :confused:

Before my latest attempt, I deleted the contents of an .android_secure folder I (eventually) found on my sdcard. This, indeed, seems to be where the apps moved to the sdcard reside. Following the re-flash, NONE of my previously installed apps were present--unlike my first 3 attempts.

The answer would appear to be "no". (With the exception of the way the Mac "hides" system files (in this case the .android_secure!).

Forgive me if all of this is obvious to (most of) you. I thought it might be helpful to share in the event that someone else is struggling with the same issues...

(Oh, and I think I agree it might be useful to have a separate BobZhome ROM thread...)
