I've been running Ubuntu 10.0.4.3 in Virtualbox

half the battle has been setting up the build environment- been following a mixture of steps from Android Central and cyanogen wiki, then cloning Franco's kernel from his git page as well as IHO thunderc kernel for grabbing files from.

You get all that set up and then go into the directory where you cloned Franco's kernel source, run a make menuconfig & select to load a config, pull out the IHO_defconfig from the IHO source & reference it and then run a make. it starts & then starts finding dependencies it needs, so then you move stuff from the IHO source over and keep on trucking till it's done. Like I said I only got so far.

Believe me, it's been something I start, then walk away for a few days, and then come back to. I've been googling a lot & taking pot shots and now I'm to the point where I can probably ask questions about specific hiccups in the compiling process.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
what's the code aurora kernel? nm, I guess it's a tweaked kernel for cdma phones I guess. I wish we had someone smarter than me who could glean some of these franco & aurora updates for our phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] moore.bryan:
Hmm... I've updated my OV each time a new BACKside is out and never ran into this until I did a complete wipe (she had another ROM on it) and put the 8/25 on it.

Anyone else have ideas where to start looking?
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
sorry, I should've been more specific.

lg based its kernels for the p500 and S/V on the codeaurora msm kernel built with contributions from a dev group at qualcomm, who made our phones' chipsets.

you can diff the machine-specific kernel source against the codeaurora kernel to see what was modded for each phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Know what? I already told Franco not to do that. I told him to start from a stock config, and ideally a stock (or his) kernel tree. What I got in response? That won't work I'm not going to try, rah rah rah. Haven't heard back since.

The big differences are essentially just changes between different revisions of the LG kernel. Some of the CDMA phones use some bits of code, others use the same as the GSM phones. It's all a bit wonky, and I think the best approach is to take the individual changes and apply them to stock VM670 source. I've previously eyed Franco's git repository and, unfortunately, it's too messy for me to parse out individual changes in any meaningful way.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
In the case of the .32 kernel at least, they used /old/ or really tweaked versions of it. That said, I've thought of trying to start from a CAF base, but... there are a number of drivers that would need to be ported and a few other things that left me with the feeling that it would be more productive to spend my time elsewhere.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
P.S. For those building ROMs: the kernel.org web servers were compromised recently.

http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/08/31/2321232/

I would recommend not updating any repositories (and I think there are a few) that are pulling directly from kernel.org until they can clarify what exactly was compromised and what the statuses of their git repositories are.

Bad news.. I was at a concert and for some odd reason all of the videos I recorded were corrupt.. which is weird. I never had this issue before the 08312011 build, in fact I only started having issues after I started using 08252011
[Optimus V Android Development] Zeroskatr512:
Thanks for getting the headset mic to work again. I have noticed something in addition with the headset....

My friend indicated to me that over Skype he could hear a constant ticking noise coming from my end (almost like the sound a taser makes). Connecting to the Echo on Skype I confirmed what he was hearing. It sounds like some interference from the phone but only exists when the headset mic is plugged in. Also I only noticed it on Skype. During a regular voice call I did not notice the noise on the other end.

Maybe a just Skype issue? Any thoughts?
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
thanks for the response. that might be something some of us others could look into- starting a separate git repo & porting over changes.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Ok here's an example of what's wrong with the camera when recording videos, this is pretty horrible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfPqo8FxJA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This kinda ruined my night, not that I'm not thankful for the work that was put into development for this rom, I just wish the audio issues would be resolved. In the meantime I might revert to Bumblebee
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Video is marked as private. If you're seeing more than just audio issues I'd suspect the SD card is on its way out.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
In other words I have to buy a new one?
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Probably, especially if you want to narrow down the root cause.

a.) They're cheap

b.) If you're using the stock 2GB card those have something of a reputation of being flaky.

c.) If you're recording video you really do want a class 4 or 6+ for the extra boost in write speed

If you're not using the stock card, swap in the stocker and see if you can replicate the problems. If you're seeing file system corruption that's almost certainly an SD card issue.

I'm on the newest BACKside ROM and I'm in a wifi loop. Wifi turns on tries to connnect fails says disconnected then retries. Does anyone know how to fix that? VM 3G didn't that fast.
[Optimus V Android Development] Kreatur3:
I've had that problem once ended up flashing the ROM again and it fixed it.

Anything that keeps crappy, noisy camera phone concert footage off of youtube is a feature, not a glitch. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Lol dude it was my first time going to a concert and I took my sister there for her birthday > ,<
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Well I'm currently using the stock card, I don't really have any way of getting a new card till I start working again. If that's the problem then I guess I'm gonna purchase that 16GB class 6 SD card my friend had suggested the other day. What's the best deal I can get on one of those?
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I tried formatting my card, maybe this will fix it for now.
[Optimus V Android Development] bleichtman:
Is it OK to flash any developers iho build from another iho build without a data wipe?
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I tried it, and it worked but sorta lagged, not entirely sure why, probably just because some system files didn't seem to work well running alongside the older ones. I suggest you make a backup of whatever you wanna keep then wipe your device, and then flash the new rom. I recommend Titanium Backup if you're not already using it, then make a nandroid backup.

stupid new sprint video drivers

um, blarf...

know you're busy working out actual bugs in the rom, but since I've walked a couple more people through fixing the custom rom/recovery black screen of death from the newer sprint hardware being flashed by VM as refurbished Vs, I wanted to bring up again the possibility of porting the video drivers from sprint VC/VD baseband kernel (or Xionia kernel) over into yours.

more of the nasty new hardware keeps getting flashed by people who aren't expecting a problem, and they lose their display. I've been able to help some of them by pointing out ways to flash Xionia CWMA recovery blind, and then Xionia Redux kernel so they can use a custom ROM, but it's starting to get tedious.

it's not a software bug, it's just that that kernel source is lagging behind the hardware getting released. hassling LG might or might not be productive there, but you're the only dev I'm aware of who's currently doing kernel work for the V, plus your rom is still in active development and so I was hoping maybe you could look into this further. please.

thanks in advance for at least considering the suggestion.

I think this problem/risk should be listed in the Wiki and maybe in the bugs list if OVs without any hardware problem (just newer hardware) are failing with IHO kernel.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
I'm using BetterBatteryStats to check for partial wakelocks, during one of my airplane modes while sleeping for 8 hrs (w/ everything including Wifi off), I noticed that the wifi had a pretty high partial wakelock, about 400+ tries, and the battery graph showed higher drain than the other nights with same conditions. I'm wondering if it's related to the iprenew service checkin here:

https://github.com/inferiorhumanorg...mmit/eb96610262500dbf59d26f3fb178fb1109520702

Is there a way to disable this service without recompiling the ROM (for those of us who never had wifi problems before this anyway). I couldn't find anything in /etc/init.d.

EDIT: Just found it in the /init.thunderc.rc file, commented it out, rebooted, and will see if this resolves the problem for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
I bought a replacement Optimus V for my wife after her's had an unfortunate meeting with the ground and a foot.

I purchased it brand new from Target. It has the optimus s screen. This serves as positive proof new phones are being manufactured with this screen. When I powered it on, right away I noticed a difference. It has a slightly different tint to the colors. When I flashed a recovery I was met with a black screen after rebooting. I then flashed Xionia recovery and it worked without a hitch.

Bearing in mind my wife now has one of these phones with different hardware, I have created a compatible flash-able ROM zip for those also in this same boat.

This ROM is essentially just IHO-Purity with the Xionia kernel. To prevent confusion I'm going to be calling it IHO-Purity-X

Sooo....

Annoncing IHO-Purity-X

Changes from IHO-Purity:

-Replaced IHO kernel with Xionia kernel (this fixes the black screen on newer and refurbished Optimus V)

-Wifi tweaks from Xionia kernel

-Keyswap applied, no need to flash a new keyfile. (without this home and menu keys are reversed)

Download MD5: e6edb92df8c9e78da2158d24c6d34453

Edit: I forgot to properly sign the zip. To install you will need to toggle off signature verification. This will be fixed in my next release.
[Optimus V Android Development] LeslieAnn:
You can, but at best, don't expect it to be what the dev intended. At worst, you may cause crashes.

Either way, you shouldn't be posting bugs or expecting a lot of help if you do this as each dev does things differently. It's impossible to support when you do this.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
This has been mentioned before. But Before filing a bug report I think it would be good to mention it here. Not everybody with the problem is trying IHO or even know about the wiki. Preemptively addressing this will be the best thing for this.
[Optimus V Android Development] jondi23:
Not bad at all. Overclocking 806/320 no restarts even using the camera nice work Emuzombie. GPS works,camera works, testing the battery so far so good. Scoring 1195 on benchmark test
[Optimus V Android Development] Anaror:
Just curious, how would that purity build effect my phone if I have the old screen?

Insufficient space available fix

Like me, im sure many of you are having the stupid market error about insufficient space

*edit

Almost two hour of used 92%,
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Great! Many people will thank you for this. I hope Blarf would update the IHO kernel so that we can use single kernel again. Although I don't have a black screen problem, I tested Xionia-redux kernel out of curiosity. But went back to IHO kernel with the next build. I just didn't see anything better/different with that kernel.
[Optimus V Android Development] jondi23:
??????? W.t.h why this kernel is scoring high on the benchmarktest lol
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
It's on my list, but it'll be more likely to happen if I get my hands on one with the new screen (I'm pretty close to trying to get an RMA…). I expect that because both phones use the same board it shouldn't be too bad to copy the driver over.

That said, LG is obligated to release kernel source compatible with the new OVs only to people who actually own them. Will they make that distinction? I'd hope not. But, yeah, by all means hassle LG about that.

Yup, should go in the wiki.

Uh? What were you expecting? Quadrant scores are all over the place, I get 1000-1300 easily @ 806MHz depending.
[Optimus V Android Development] pdxtechdoctor:
Ok silly question, how do you tell which screen you have? I haven't seen that discussed yet or maybe I missed it... I was just sent an asurion replacement brand new in box.. I also have a refurbed warranty replacement sent to me because of my GPS antenna issue..

Long story, I actually lost my phone the morning the warranty replacement was to arrive and I had to get an insurace replacment to have something to send back to them..

Anyways I have 2 phones 1 refurb (or I assume so because it came alone sans all accessories) and 1 brand new phone that came it the retail box..

Which one should I keep if I have one the the sprint screen and one of the old one?

I'm running stock right now to get a baseline... When I got my phone originally I used it stock for I think a day and then started flashing away..
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I just added a warning statement in the Wiki explaining the problem, pointing to EmuZombie's build, and linking to bigsupersquid's thread. Feel free to change it.
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
If you're asking if it will work, yes it will.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Here's a new one (I think):

I've never used the gallery much but yesterday I dropped a bunch of wallpapers onto my sdcard thinking I'd spruce up my desktop. The gallery begins to load, then gives me a not responding+wait/force close screen - doesn't matter which I press ends up locked up and have to reboot, sometimes hard.

I did this on both jerryscript & mrg666, haven't tried iho pure yet.

My wallpapers are in sdcard>media>wallpapers (about 100 or so) and I have another 100 or so various images in separate folders in the same scard>media folder.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if this is some sort of limitation on the gallery app and/or a bug in the ROM's. Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I tried commenting the file but rebooting resets the file to the original. I have built a ROM with the ip-renewal service permanently commented out. You can download at the link below. I am using that ROM right now and do not see any problem with WiFi, I am wondering what you will see, if you give it a try.

http://www.mediafire.com/?w2ul8g5wppchqov

Warning: The added ip renewal service was a fix for some users with WiFi connection problems. So, everyone, please don't report WiFi problems here after trying the ROM in this post. Instead, just revert back to your previous ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Did you check the filesystem of the SD card? This might be a file system corruption in the SD card. I also have my wallpapers in the SD card and use Gallery without crashing.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
The number one cause of crashes while attempting to view the 3D gallery is too high of an overclock. Try dropping it down a notch or two and see if that fixes the issue.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Yeah the file system seems fine according to Windows.

I'll have to look into it later, just downloaded quickpic to circumvent the problem.

I can load gallery, let it go for a few then exit out sometimes - and then I sometimes get a no sdcard mounted error (though I can use file manager to access files).

Not sure what it could be. If anybody comes up with ideas I'll try them out otherwise I'll just stick with quickpic or such.

Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I'm at 748 - never had a problem at this setting. I've tried 768 with a little luck - some reboots using scanner or other high proc apps, and not much luck with 787 so I haven't bothered going any higher. I'll try dropping it down anyway just to check it.

IHO Purity 08302011 VM670

I am writing to share some observations regarding wifi connectivity. I experienced on one occasion that manually adding a wireless access point with WPA encryption in the wireless settings resulted in the phone being able to connect to the access point in question once, but after disabling wifi once the phone was no longer able to see any access points at all.

The matter was resolved by adding a second access point (SSID abc) with WPA in the wireless settings and deleting this second access point again. Once the second access point was deleted, all surrounding access points found by the wireless scan showed up.

Are you using updated XioniaRedux kernel by Drew or the older Xionia kernel by Zefie?
[Optimus V Android Development] EmuZombie:
I'm using the older kernel by Zefie. In testing I noticed a few stability issues with XioniaRedux when OC'ing that did not appear in Zefie's kernel. I am not sure if it was related to the screen drivers or not but after 4 fresh flashes getting the same results I decided to go the safer way since OC'ing is one of the best parts of rooting a phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Good to know, thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Sounds like you had a bad wipe or install, I would recommend installing the ROM again. No one else is reporting these types of issues, and I don't have them on my phone. Try wiping cache/dalvik_cache, and formatting boot, system, and cache. Don't format data yet, or you'll have to reinstall all your apps. Then reflash the ROM and gapps, reboot and sign in.

Most force closes after a ROM install occur from one of three issues:

1) Bad download

2) Incomplete wipes/formatting

3) Restoring apps/data that aren't compatible or are system related

A week on 1 battery charge

I just wanted to report that this ROM can be very thrifty on battery usage. Assuming that there's no buggy apps, or installation problems (running 0820 pure-IHO build with custom bloatware removed). My phone has been off the charger for about a week. Granted I put it in airplane mode at night and in the office (I use Google Voice to forward calls & txts), & turn off wifi/3g/BT/GPS unless I'm using them. This is with some phone calls, txts, and checking the web (using Opera Mobile for FB & email instead of apps that sync, wifi at home, 3G when out) But even if I left 3G on all the time, since I don't have any apps that sync in the background, it probably would've lasted at least 5 days still.

My CPU settings are 245-480 with ondemand governor. Screen on lowest brightness indoors, 50% in daylight.

You cripple your phone to get 6 days of battery life? Who needs 6 days of life? Seems excessive to me...

I'm not crippling anything. It still does everything that I want it to do when I need it. I just don't like having random apps decide how much battery I will have left. Plus not having it beep & notify me of every email/FB notification allows me to focus on what I'm doing instead of being distracted all the time, try it sometime :)
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
Mostly i'm talking about the under clock. I understand its totally your choice. It just seems like you could've bought a crappy phone with way better battery life for cheaper.
[Optimus V Android Development] Whyzor:
If such a phone exists, I'd probably consider it, but it's hard to beat $130 + $25/mo. The OV does everything I need (that includes GPS navigation, camera, browsing the web, communications, watching videos, listening to music, PDA, all of which don't benefit much from an overheating overclocked processor. Even at 480 Mhz it's smooth (I turn off animations and other eye-candy). Also realize overclocking doesn't necessarily lead to faster performance. Sometimes it's just "spinning wheels" in place because the CPU isn't the bottleneck (there's ROM & RAM speeds, SD card performance, network latencies & speeds, GPU clock...etc to consider)

read the release notes on the wiki. Only languages left in are English & Spanish. You'll have to delete the boot sound yourself if you want it removed. That's something that ROM builder added to his ROM.

Try a different IHO variant if you want some of those changes.
