Separate navigation volume?

I have the LG Optimus V, and recently switched from using aospCMod ROM to an IHO based one.

I've tried both BobZHome's own version as well as the BACKside one (currently installed), and both have been super snappy in daily use, BACKside being the more stable one, at least from my experiences.

One thing I did notice was that there was no longer a separate navigation volume control.

When using the Google Maps turn-by-turn voice guidance, and adjusting the volume it shows "Media Volume" along the level bar, where as it used to show "Navigation volume - in both the stock optimus V ROM and aospCMod.

At first I thought that it was just a label issue, but I just tried adjusting the navigation volume with music playing in the background, and both the voice and song volume changed in tandem.

This is different behavior than what I've experienced before, where I could have the music playing at a low level, and the navigation volume set higher so that it would stand out whenever directions were spoken.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Anyway to get the additional volume control back?

Thanks!

Jerry something odd today happened. I was showing a friend how the scream function of lookout worked. After that I couldnt get sound notifications to work. I cleared cache and dalvik and for a bit it would work but after a while nothing. When trying to set the sounds in the apps I get a force close saying the system.sound is not responding.

I restored a nanadroid I had from yesterday and all seems to be good. But not sure why it happened to begin with.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Hi Jerry,

Finally got around to installing your latest - running well but the notification bar still gets stuck sometimes (I know, I know, I could be more careful wiping the notifications off but...). Now though when a notification became stuck I also cannot remove any others or even browse up or down in the listing.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
For a workaround, download Notification Restart, free on the market. Takes a quick second to restart notification bar and your good to go. Also works really well when applying themes, instead of rebooting :)

Wondering if u can implement selinux into an updated build how badass would that be!

LG optimus v jerryscript backside iho 1/25/2012
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I added a setting that I pulled in from gerrit, that changes the default volume control from ringer to media. Perhaps that is messing with the functionality you are trying to get to work. Let me know if changing it helps:

Settings>>CyanogenMod Settings>>Sound>>Default volume media (try both ways)

What is the scream function of lookout? Is that lookout AV? FYI- I don't recommend or support any current AV, they always mess with systems! ;)

Strange, I pulled in a code change from CyanogenMod that should have fixed that?!? Hmmm, sausage fingers maybe? :p

A quick google search should show how to install a couple of flavors of linux, not sure about selinux. ;)

Look for fastboot root, I'm pretty sure there is a thread in this forum.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Yes lookout av. I was just using it for the locator functions. The reason I was even messing with it was my buddies wife will misplace her phone daily and have it on vibrate or silent. Lookout will make the device "scream" even if in silent mode or vibrate only.

After thinking on it I have a suspicion it is the call lookout uses to activate teh scream function. Im almost certain that is what is happening. This morning I was woke up by my phone doing the scream function...At some point yesterday the lookout service sent duplicate text to me and one never made it, until 430am today. Let me reassure you being woke up by a phone sounding like a police car is 3 feet from you is not pleasant. :D

I will contact lookout and notify them of a possible issue. I guess I can also file a bug report on github.

Found a weird bug this morning. My alarm was going off and when i went to hit snooze the screen transitioned 90 degrees. Then the screen went blank and the only thing i could do was turn the screen on. It was always blank when i hit a button and the only way to get my screen back was to reset the phone. It happened to me 3 times in a row. All the buttons worked but the screen was always blank.
[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
I highly doubt it.

1. SELinux is a very complicated system. Who's going to develop and maintain the policy?

2. It has both space and runtime costs. It must have a clear need to justify paying them.

3. It places demands on the filesystem. I don't think yaffs2 or vfat support security labels.

4. It is aimed mainly toward securing applications written in languages that have no inherent security model. Most Android stuff is Java based. That doesn't make Android immune to security issues, of course, but it does mean SELinux is probably a poor fit for addressing them.

My wife misplaces her phone frequently also. Have you tried "Where's My Droid Lite"?

I hate that. I should look into creating an option to lock the orientation for the alarm notification...

Bluetooth on BACKside

I was just messing around with Bluetooth on my Windows 7 machine and found it really neat that I could send audio from my iPod touch to my Laptop via bluetooth. Then this got me wondering what I could do with my Optimus V. I followed the same procedure of pairing, and windows started installing drivers. The phone pairs with the computer but I can't establish an audio connection like I can with the iPod. If I try to "Play audio stored on the (LG-VM670) phone through my computer" It will just error out saying "Error connecting to audio source. Please retry this operation." I was wondering if bluetooth is broken in the ROM. Has anyone else been able to properly connect their phone to their PC or is this an Android limitation?
[Optimus V Android Development] willmon22:
Has anyone else had the phone do random restarts and sleeps of death (acts as if it is completely off and won't power back on). This happens to me when the phone is powered on and on the charger with the screen off. When I had my phone on the stock 2.2.1 rom this almost never happened to me maybe once a day or not at all. Is there something with the custom roms or something? Can't there just be a completely stock 2.2.7 built for the optimus v? If so then I would greatly appreciate it.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Are you overclocking? If so, drop it down a notch.

Another thing that helps with FCs is fixing permissions, I do it in recovery or with TitaniumBackup. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] YouArePoop:
couple builds ago i started having issues where if i reboot i get stuck on a bootloop. i have to completely shut down and turn back on. just been figuring it has something to do with data2ext though
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I use data2ext and don't recall having this issue.

Speaking of data2ext, I saw a post from you a while back on installing ROM updates while using data2ext. Have you actually been able to do this (wipe cache/dalvik) without having to re-install all of your apps? The closest I've been able to get is finding my apps "sort of" installed (they show up in the app manager but not listed as they normally would be) and not appearing in the app drawer.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I started to experience this on an annoying basis after kernel 3.6 was added. Overclocked or not, there seems to be a 50% chance of the phone rebooting within the first 30 seconds of using google maps. This happens on four different phones, two of them a couple of weeks old. Of course I don't know for sure that the kernel is causing this, but I don't know what else could be.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Strange, I use Google Maps every day to look up addresses and map routes for my drivers, and weekly to map bike routes (Google is responsive, if slowly, to the bike community ;)), and I've never experienced that. Do you have problems with any of the other systems that interact with Maps (gps, compass, any other Google account based apps)?

BobZhome just released kernel 3.7, it will be in the next build of BACKside, please let me know if it makes any difference. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
My particular instability issues only manifest themselves with google maps. However when it's stable it works very well. I will definitely be checking out the next build with the new kernel. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Is there a possibility of making a flashable zip of the kernel? :D

Nope, always have to wipe everything and start from scratch. it's not too bad when you have titanium backup pro though

MiRaGe 01282012

I have uploaded the 01282012 build of MiRaGe with the following changes after syncing with the CM repo.

- Custom carrier labels in the notification window. CM finally forced me to add this :)

- Add option to lock volume keys in silent mode

- Allow reducing the BT connection delay for the devices that don't need this delay. You will decide if it does not need it.

- Lockscreen alignment to right

- Upgraded to Bob's v3.7 kernel which enables a2sd swap and adds BT HID support for BT keyboards and mouses. Thank you Bob!

I have tested on my phone; everything seems to be working.

Please thank/donate to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, LesliAnn, thekraven, tdm, bigsupersquid, Whyzor, and (the last but not the least) the CM people.

Enjoy!

Headset issue

Thank you all for such an amazing set of builds!

However, one issue that I keep experiencing - when calling someone (GrooveIP, viber or skype) and the headset is already plugged in, upon the other party answers, their voice goes to back to my phone's speakers, so I have to unplug the headset and plug it back in to fix it... Any zips that will make it right?

Thanks again!

I'm on MRG from Jan23rd, will reflash the latest build and see..
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I would usually agree with you on that. Unfortunately I haven't been able to use TB for the past month or so - been using it for about a year until now because for some reason it will no longer restore my apps without hanging.

Tried changing the app processing mode but it doesn't make any difference.

Tried restoring from dropbox instead of sdcard.

Verified my backups.

Tried another sdcard.

It does seem kind of odd... And it's not just TB - also tried restore using tom toolbox & mybackup but most of the restored apps fc'd on me (I think I tried repairing permissions but can't exactly remember). Seems like it could be a memory/sdcard problem. I've been using app monster lately to restore my apps (PITA because I have to press install even in batch mode) and using TB to restore my data. Guess I'll do a fresh install and try a restore later this evening.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Thank you! :)
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
I just flashed this new build over a previous one and my google account info is gone. The steps I took were to wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot the phone. I have not changed anything on the phone yet, so I don't know if there is anything else going on. I do see the new ICS transitions and the v3.7 kernel. At least wi-fi is working. :p

edit: I'm going to restore my backup, flash the new kernel and see how that goes.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Just flash gapps, it would be easier
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
It freezes on half of my apps too, I have to keep force closing and skip the app it freezes on
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
All my apps were there (including google's), it was just my account info that was gone. I'm restoring my phone right now because I want to try the previous build I had with the new kernel, which is what I should have done to begin with. I want to see if it fixes some instability issues.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I have just flashed the new build for a second time after your report but there are no problems again. Can't you just enter your account info (email and password) again? Emails, contacts, calendar, etc. will be resynced with Google.
[Optimus V Android Development] bananaboat23:
I tried updating to the newest version and it would get stuck at the boot animation. Tried reflashing twice to no avail. I'm upgrading from 2011.12.21.

As a side note, I think the old boot logo (Android logo with IHO under it) looks a bit better than BACKSide IHO spelled out.
[Optimus V Android Development] willmon22:
Hello Jerry. I don't have my phone overclocked and I am not using google maps or anything. I just have it on the charger with the screen off while it is powered on. I just find it later either on the charging screen or powered off and won't power back on till I remove and replace the battery. This happens like 2-3 times a day sometimes.

I have the newest build but I didn't use the backside updater reason unknown ha but anyway when I go to check 4 new rom using the updater it says new rom available when I have the newest one. I triple checked. This is causing slight paranoia.

Sorry if it seemed like a complaint. I mentioned it because it was weird and I haven't read of something like this happening before. It really wasn't an issue. However, I do want to test the new kernel with the 01-10 build I was using. So far so good. ;)

When restoring via TB, you have to take into account the amount of space available. I often have to stop TB halfway through the restore process, then move as many apps as possible to SD, then start restoring apps with TB again, then repeat the process (stopping, moving, restarting). Not sure if this is the same as the issue being discussed. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
The issue for me began sometime last month, and I haven't changed the way I usually use it until now (been using TB for about a year) while troubleshooting. It definitely isn't available space as I use data2ext, and sometimes it hangs on the first app restore or soon after. When it hangs I have to force stop TB and restart the restore (skipping whatever app hangs) but it inevitably hangs soon after that. What I haven't done yet, and should, is perform a fresh rom install > fresh app install > revert back to TB 4.21 or so > and see if the problem does/doesn't reproduce itself. Just haven't felt like taking the time...
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Sorry, I don't use data2ext, but I would definitely look into that as possibly being related to your issue.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Not sure if you're talking about data2ext or TB being the issue but it sounds like you mean data2ext - either way:

I've only been doing this since last Mar, but I haven't changed my process(es) installing roms except during the very beginning when I was learning (or the few times I installed a rom that didn't support data2ext). And I've been using IHO exclusively since ya'll started adding your builds. Now I haven't done any coding in close to 20 years but the only way I can think of the data2ext being the culprit is if there has been some change in the source cyanogenmod code, since I'm still using the same data2ext. And again the only major issue (that I know of or can think of) has been mainly dealing with TB restore - though again I also had some problems trying out rom toolbox & my backup.

Before I go on too long about this, if I haven't already - I really appreciate the time you and the others take to help us out with the issues & problems we dig up using your awesome builds.:D

I'm ordering a new sdcard (sandisk class 10 16gb finally!) tomorrow or Monday so

when I receive that I'll decide what to do. Probably use one of the sdcards I have now to install a pre-Dec build and see if the problem replicates - if it does then I would guess it's some sort of hardware issue, and not rom, data2ext, or a TB issue

[why did I delete all those older nandroids, should have known I'd want them for something - not like I needed the space:mad:] Do you post your build history anywhere? I'll be looking for Nov to early Dec builds.

Thanks again.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I do believe its a combo of cm7 and sdext, I have link2sd I'm going to unlink all apps and try to backup/restore and see if TB restores without hanging, I will report back when I'm done
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
I do the same thing. Restore 10, move 10 to sd, restore ten more, so on and so on
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Its the sdext that's holding up TB. I moved all but 2 apps to my internal (they wouldn't fit) I deleted all my TB backups, rebacked up all my apps. Then I deleted all my user apps, and restored my backups and the only 2 apps TB froze on was the two still linked to my SD. So long story short apps In internal memory restore, apps on sdext has issues
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
I have Link2sd set to automatically link my apps to SD, so when TB is working properly, I don't have to worry about space because it all goes to my sdext.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
You are on to something here but, just to clarify some terminology, I don't believe it is sd-ext that is the culprit. It has something to do with the built-in "move to sd" feature. I use link2sd and, if I do a complete wipe/install and then restore link2sd first then recreate the mounting scripts and then restore the rest of my apps, I don't have any problems. If I don't do this then I will get the occasional hang as I have all my apps moved to my sd card via the built in android feature. Either TB doesn't handle this very well anymore or this is a bug in cm7.

I guess one could always change the restore location to internal memory only. There wouldn't be as many pauses that way.

Hope I helped. Cheers!
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I guess what I don't understand is why this issue came up (for me at least) only within the past month or so - never had a problem before. I use a 1gb ext partition and perform a simple restore. I don't use link2sd though that is one thing I do need to check out - it's on my list of things to do. I'll have to search this thread or another for a good tutorial or check-list (when I dabbled with it early last year I couldn't seem to wrap my brain around it - pretty annoying since I'm definitely technically inclined!) It's my thoughts also that it is something different in TB or cm7 but I'll hold off on that until I revert back to an earlier build for testing.

On another note just finished charging my new 3600mah battery. Cool.:cool: Can't wait to see how long my optimus will actually keep charged. The oversize cover is much larger so I don't know that I'll use regularly, but at the same time I think it'll be great to have. Time to keep searching for an optimum case for my optimus.

In case anybody is interested I purchased it for $14.50 delivered - I ordered it at 10pm on the 25th and it arrived around 10am on the 28th (eBay).
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
Any way you can upload pics of how thick it looks :)? Also how long it lasted I'm interested but need some feedback first
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Here, I found this recently on YouTube Extended Battery 3600 mAh LG Optimus V that will give you some good info.

The larger backside adds about 5mm to the thickness of the phone - stock battery is 5mm, the extended battery is 10mm. I might be incorrect but I believe the 2800 mah is also 10mm thick.

Just noticed an extended battery thread HERE so I'm going to move my conversations about this there.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I have issues sometimes when restoring via TB. Same thing only it wont freeze up completely. When you update do you do a full wipe? Or are you disabling data2ext flashing running the scripts and then restoring?

I have not been able to do the later. And I havent updated to the newest BS build to try it out yet. But I have a sneaking suspicion there might be a problem with just updating instead of new flashing.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
When TB hangs/fails for me the phone doesn't freeze on me, it just hangs restoring "blahblah" app and doesn't continue no matter how long I let it sit.

When I update I do a complete wipe/fresh install each time. I've tried various methods to update without wiping my ext partition

Filenames in app manager are similar to what's in the photo after my update instead of full wipe.

[disable data2ext > reboot > reboot recovery > wipe cache/dalvik > install rom, data2ext > reboot > enable data2ext > reboot is how I got to the above]

Coincidentally, I just saw this issue today and remembered your post. I didn't even know it was an issue before. I'll have to pull your changes to fix it.
