Green is good. Whenever I do a fresh install, I always flash the androidian theme. I don't fancy the "in some places green, in some places orange" look of 2.3.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
My last two or three builds have been MiRaGe'S... I've been successfully wiping cache & Dalvik, reflashing, and everything is peachy.

I installed the 02222012 build last night--and suddenly my battery usage is waaaaay higher than with the last few MiRaGeS!

A couple of days ago, in 12 hours I used only 22% Today I used more than that in 3 or 4 hours... No significant changes in usage (I would stipulate, Your Honor).

I know I've become one of those guys--who suddenly wonder about their battery usage :-\ but it's so pronounced I just wonder what might be going on...

Anything significant change between the 0222 build and the previous one that could account for this??
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I haven't noticed anything different regarding battery use since yesterday. There isn't anything that can cause such difference either. Let me check but it will take at least a day to see something reliable ;)

Edit: I found some data for ~8 hours of use. The battery use is ~2.5% per hour which seems normal to me. I will recharge now. After I leave it overnight, will let you know tomorrow.
[Optimus V Android Development] norwoodesteel:
i noticed significantly BETTER battery usage.

9hrs, light use, at 90%
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Remember, battery usage takes a few days to even out. The first day, the phone is rebuilding lots of files. Not too mention that we always spend more time on our phone right after flashing a new build trying to see how it works.

Always wait three days before expecting reliable battery results. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Even better, I prefer green anyway :)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Isn't it also true that building up the cache and dalvik cache after flashing a rom is one major battery hog? I don't really get great battery life right away, like after I fully drain my battery I fully charge it and the battery life seems pretty good to me, a full charge cycle seems to make a difference for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I thought about that--but wondered why I hadn't noticed that level of drain following previous MiRaGe flashes. It's possible I just wasn't paying as much attention to those.

I flashed the latest MiRaGe on Wed nite--and all of that heavy drain occurred, like, 16 hours later on Thurs afternoon. I would have expected that most of the rebuilding would have happened overnite. (But then you suggest waiting 72 hours before getting concerned, so....)

Might have been a fluke--maybe signal strength issues?--I'll watch it more carefully following future flashes...
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I have charged overnight and disconnected the power this morning. It has been 7:40 hours:minutes and the charge is at 86%. This is completely normal if not great battery consumption. I have three OVs here and all of them have similar battery use with this build.
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
My battery dropped heavy today. 13% left atm. Maybe I downloaded aa big file on the market...
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
I'm having the "invalid package file" error on any apps I try to download and install again. I've tried all the market fixes, including MarketFix, and still nothing. Any ideas where I can start looking to debug this?

Is anyone having issues with notifications not playing?

[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Try using a rom not based on IHO for a few weeks. If the issue creeps back, then it must be something that you're installing. Or how about a fresh install linked with a new google account that won't auto download apps. This way you can install the least amount of apps (the really important ones) and hopefully single out the culprit. It's weird that this keeps happening to you.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
You flash 15 roms a day, your battery feedback is invalid
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Now, this is funny :)
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
I believe it's an issue with any customized ROM. Jerry's BACKside build has the 01dalvikcache file completeled taken out and now i haven't had any issues at all with the market. Granted, it seems like you are losing alot of internal space, when, in fact, you actually aren't. There's space set aside in that file just for market downloads that you can't use anyhow. I'd rather have less internal space that is all usable, other than more internal space but not all is usable. 2 things you can do. Manually delete the 01dalvikcache file in /system/etc/intd (i believe that's the correct location), using a file manager like Root Explorer. The only problem is, that the file will rebuild itself on reboot. The best solution, flash Jerry's BACKside ROM, as it's completely taken out, and will not rebuild on reboot. I had those error messages constantly. I know how frustrating it is. But ever since Jerry took that file out, not 1 market issue.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
Today was my bath day so I was thinking about this in the shower and I'm wondering a couple of things. Is 01dalvikcache the same old dalvik cache that should be wiped before flashing an update? If not, are there multiple dalvikcache files (01,02,03,...)? If it is the same file, doesn't every android phone have and make use of this file? How could a custom rom negatively affect it?

An inquiring mind really wants to know. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Lucky you.

I only have a bath week.

[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Thanks guys... I did, by accident, hybrid of what was suggested. I deleted /etc/init.d/01mvdalvik *before* a reboot and then rebooted into recovery, wiping both the cache and dalvik cache. When I finished the reboot, I went looking for the file I deleted because I was under the impression it would be recreated upon boot and yet it was not... *super* strange. I was then able to download and install all the apps I've been unable to for the past month or so.

[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Glad it worked for ya :) I now blame Jerry for my Pocket Legends addiction. Always wanted to check it out, but could never download due to the insufficient space error. Then Jerry tweeked the BACKside ROM to take out the 01dalvikcache file and now i can download anything. Just like they say "size doesn't matter" ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
It's a market issue, and it appears the only viable solutions are to use TitaniumBackup to backup and uninstall apps you don't use frequently, or to use something like links2sd to move everything to your sdcard.

Edit- Wow, this was a late post! Glad to see the change is working for you. ;)

My BACKside Updater keeps Force Closing...

As soon as I start the app.

Sent via LG670 IHO
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Which build are you running?

Did you have a network connection (wifi or 3g)?

Did you restore BacksideUpdater or it's data via TitaniumBackup or MyBackup (etc)?

The only reported FCs were caused by no network connection (and there were only two reports), but I fixed that one or two builds ago.

If it continues force closing with working network connection, try clearing it's cache and data under Settings>>Manage apps
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
I fixed it by disabling Airplane Mode and then re-enabled it and turned WiFi back on.

It was very weird. I had an internet connection, browser worked fine along with most apps, but certain apps thought that I didn't have a data connection. Also, WiFi indicator was white and my clock was 3 hours behind.

As soon as I connected to a cell tower for a second, all was fixed.

Note: I am using this device as a WiFi only device.

Hmm, I thought the function I was using to check for network connectivity was ubiquitous, guess I'll have to see just what that class checks. Thanks for the headsup! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
I don't know if there's a permanent fix, but I was able to make it so I could install the apps I needed to.

Hmmm. Re-installed Windows yesterday....

I installed my LG drivers and plugged my phone in. Did the usual waiting required for the first time attaching the phone and noticed a device I don't recall seeing before: LGE Android Platform USB GPS NMEA Port. Usually Windows installs 4 drivers for me not including the modem driver which fails, at least initially - this time it installed an extra 2 drivers I think (wasn't paying much attention at the time).

Anybody else notice this or have it? Hate to think I hadn't noticed it for a year!:eek:
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I hadn't noticed it either, but there it is.

edit: I forgot to test this while I had the phone connected to the PC, but it just might be because GPS was turned on.

I didnt know how to use the awesome link2sd app and found this really great/ useful website for creating that partition space to free up your internal memory- idk how many of you are as noobish as me but here ya go

you should have no problem following along (with the exception of the checking the memory screen shot) the rest is very easily applied to OV

I've been having some issues with the screen in this ROM. For instance, my alarm didn't work, then luckily I woke up to my daughter grabbed my phone thinking it should have went off, and the screen was half drawn when I unlocked it. The status bar was there, but no icons and the background only showed a small square in the top left, about half the screen wide and in height. Almost like when old windows OS resizes the screen resolution after switching from a game. Only holding the power button and rebooting would get it acting right. I have the lockscreen off, but with a security lock. Don't know if that is the issue or not. Also last night I got a call while using Waze, got done with call, and the phone panicked and reboot after the Waze halfway drew the screen. Is there something I've got wrong, or can try?

thanks for any help!

I am not a huge fan of the Wycontacts dialer included with IHO, anyone suggest replacements or how to change the color schema of Wycontacts?

If you're runnin BACKside, it sounds like you got bit by the ICS screen rotation animation bug. There is a fix in CM committed by Diane Hackborn of the AOSP team, it will be in today's build. Please let me know if it fixes the issue for you. ;)

Leap Year build of BACKside-IHO is up, you only get these once every 4 years, so hurry! ;)

Download via the BacksideUpdater

or

BACKside-IHO-VM670-02292012.zip

md5sum c2ea2b99e0bbafedbbdc4be039550ba2

GreenMachineTheme-02292012.zip

Changes:

--Synced with CM

--3 fixes from AOSP for screen freezes

--Lots of little background changes like translations etc

--Frameworks for fingerprint unlock added but not functional yet

--Added ability to crop selected image for use as the notification dropdown background

--Cleaned up a bunch of leftover code and debugging

The new method for picking an image for use as the notification dropdown background only currently works with apps that support cropping (galleries and some file managers and some other apps). So long as the app has registered a receiver for the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent, it should be an available option for selecting an image. Reboot or use notification restart to make the changes appear. ;)

Note- Currently it only appears as if galleries will work with the cropping.

As always, thanks to Blarf, BobZhome, mrg666, LeslieAnn, tdm, kermikalelite, Whyzor, bigsupersquid, the CM team, the AOSP team especially Dianne Hackborn, and many many more! ;)

Yes, the BacksideUpdater should grab the changes within the hour! ;)

When using 2sd methods, full wipe is how to go.
[Optimus V Android Development] cmerlyn:
Personally, I like Touchpal Dialer. Unfortunately, they just did an upgrade that pretty much killed it for me. I deleted it and restored my backup. If you can find the nice one (has a round, green icon with a white phone handset on it) try that, just don't update it.

[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
Hey, loving this so far! Got a new issue, though. Doesn't seem too bad, but I've noticed that the GPS seems to drain more battery lately, looses location for a few second here and there as well.also noticed the phone cooks when GPS is active. Was noticing the heat last build too, but not the lost position.

[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
What is this about Jerry's builds and no more upgrades? Is it automated, doesn't require a full ROM flash to update? Sounds neat!

To BACKside devs: noticed another glitch. Had Facebook up, phone went to sleep, and when I tried to use it Facebook would still be there, with no lockscreen, and nothing I tried would get it to back out, power button wouldn't respond had to pull the battery. I don't have long press to kill enabled, so don't know if that would help, but figured I'd give you a heads up, in case other apps could be experiencing similar issues.

Can try enabling long press kill to see if it works and try to duplicate the issue, if requested. Could just be ****ty coding by Facebook...

MiRaGe 03022012

I have uploaded a new MiRaGe build 03022012 to the IHO Wiki after syncing with the CM repo. There were some relatively large commits in the CM repo. Although these do not add anything new to OV, I wanted to have these included in the build before new commits pile up. So, you can easily skip this build if you don't feel like flashing again.

- Synced with the CM repo

- Implement basic framework for fingerprint lockscreen (not functional on OV)

- @hide all the changes to frameworks/base... (there is no effect to user experience)

- improved the ICS style battery icon (use a magnifier to see a difference :))

Thanks to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, LeslieAnn, tdm, thekraven, and the CM team.

nah happens to me too- my phone will lock up hard (using any program) for a few min- sometimes it snaps out, other times it does like a half reboot or something and is ok for a bit after that- not quite sure what app or process triggers the lockups
[Optimus V Android Development] Liath:
I tried letting it resolve itself, but the screen would go back to sleep, even while making home, back, both at same time, etc. tried this for about 10 mins. I noticed the timeout was about 3-4 seconds or so, instead of the 5 I have set.. I generally don't like yanking power as I have has horrible experiences with desktop Linux doing that. Kinda makes me wonder how the phone doesn't have the same issues and end up with a little terminal *****ing about running fsck... Desktop could learn from phone here.

So, aside, is this Jerry build different from backside? I like the idea of not losing some setting when I update as I noticed happened when I updated. If it updates in-line that would be pretty neat, and might warrant a backup of this ROM and testing it out. If it works almost like Debian apt, I'd love it!
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
thanks for the latest builds ya'll.

finally got around to trying out link2sd. took a whole lot longer to restore my apps than using data2ext but at the same time it worked just fine - save time after updates though from what i've read. restored 125 apps at once, rebooted, and have close to 75mb left. not sure if i'm a convert yet but it looks promising.

haven't had much time to test it out but jerry's latest seems to be working great so far - no lockscreen issues. used quickpic to set a notification background just to try it out - works good.

hope the weather's been as good for everyone else as it's been here in virginia.:D
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Seems to be a bit of confusion here:

-There are four main ROMs built from IHO for the OV:

BobZhome's

mrg666's Mirage

LeslieAnn's Harmonia2

BACKside-IHO (mine)

-The BacksideUpdater doesn't do the installation currently, though I'm looking into supporting at least one recovery for auto-installs. What it does is:

1-downloads the manifest file to check for updates (done when you open the app)

2-if the download is complete (checks /sdcard/download), it will automatically check the filesize and md5sum

3-if the download hasn't happened yet, it offers to open the download webpage

4-once the download is complete, it offers to check the md5sum

5-once the md5sum has been verified, it offers you the choice to boot into recovery

Pressing the menu key gives you options to check a file you have manually downloaded and transferred to your sdcard, as well as showing the current release's changelog, and of course the exit option.

You can access the BacksideUpdater via the icon in the app drawer, or from system settings ;)

BACKside working well for the last 24 hours - can't seem to disable the lockscreen though (I use a PIN).

I've been working during the nice weather we've had. Should'a known it wouldn't last long enough for my day off - rain, rain, rain.

EDIT: Experienced the lockscreen freezing up again - gonna try disabling the ICS rotation animation before disabling my PIN.
[Optimus V Android Development] tvall:
I hate it when that happens.. I dont think android runs fsck... at all. And /system is mounted ro. I think that's what prevents a lot of issues. Chrome os also doesn't seem to have issues with yanking the power, which I also assume is because of the read only / partition.

Yesterday, however, my phone completely froze, so I pulled the battery. When it rebooted, it was like it did a wipe of /data, except my apps were there still... but almost everything fc'ed constantly. It was weird...

Mrg-wondering if you could make the cell signal strength bar color something brighter than gray,such as white. Gray to me is a background color/ sign of not established
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
When there is no signal (no connection established) the indicator is dark gray area without any bars. Light gray bars are for connection but no Google access (mostly no internet). 99% of the time the bars are green for me. I tried to copy exactly what ICS has with GB green. Let me have a second look.

thanks Jerry, It rained really hard and windy around midnight last night, but nothing major here in Ga.

Your build is great!thanks for the hard work. Although the GPS seems to have some problem finding signal in recent builds. Also, remember that issue I told you about when the navigation app exits at every first start when I click "search"? I pasted the log and you said the log indicated that I didn't have 3G on(I know 3G was on)? well, it was fixed somehow in couple of builds back , but now the problem is back again. I'm bad with directions:p. Can you take a look at it? thanks man.

Hey, just had a thought for a feature request. The area I'm in is constantly having issues with the towers being retarded and they almost never have the correct time even though ppl in this area have been *****ing to sprint, vm, etc for over a year.

Is there some way you could put in the time and date settings, a feature for syncing to an actual time server? Maybe even using GPS for time zone, though that would be much more work... Think just a feature to disable the tower updates, but still have some reliable way to sync time would be bangin'.
