I ran into the wifi issue as well. I tried a fresh install 3 times. Then I found this comment, and I tried installing over a fresh installation. Still doesn't work. My wifi turns on for a short time, and turns itself off without ever finding any wifi networks. Grr.

I think I'll try installing an older version, then installing the latest version on top of that.
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
Go to CyanogenMod settings. Then Interface. Then status bar tweaks. Then change status bar appearance to ROM and reboot :)
[Optimus V Android Development] sayno2quat:
This worked! I flashed an older backside rom, added a wifi network, then flashed the newest backside (after clearing cache and dalvik, of course). Now I have wifi again!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Those who had wifi issues, are you using the factory reset option in recovery? I've had two reports of people who did, and it borked their wifi. Once they installed an older backup/build, and then installed the newer one again without doing a factory reset in recovery, and only wiping cache and dalvik as instructed, got their wifi back.

Just for safety, I did a new build this morning without the ftmpower binary. Shouldn't make any difference, but better safe than sorry. Use the new BacksideUpdater to grab the 01192012 build. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Yeah. Used the factory reset in recovery to wipe everything for a fresh install. But installing over my backup worked awesomely. Awesome ROM, as usual, especially with the new splash screen
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Installed the 1-18 build and like others wifi was a no go.

I use data2ext so upgrading via installing over the top of a current rom is not possible. Dont ask why but I have never been able to do it. So each time I flash a new build its from a completely wiped device. I flashed the rom and before even signing in to gmail/google I tried turning on wifi and it failed.

I wonder if data2ext/sd2ext and the likes are the problem. Im reverting to my nanadroid which sucks I liked the new pre-boot animation.

I dunno why I didn't try this first, I even saw the menu haha. But thanks, it worked!

Has anyone else had market problems?I'm always either getting "not enough space" when I have like 130mb or package file is invalid. have tried multiple time to install and restarted a few times.
[Optimus V Android Development] pandulce1:
It seems that clearing the market cache didn't help. Have you tried reinstalling the market app? You could also give MarketFix a try.

Edit: oh wait... how are you going to install this app if you can not install any apps? :o
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
Usually a small app will download but if not you could always temp uninstall something
[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
Did the stock rom skip offline charging and boot into android when the phone was rebooted while plugged in? I haven't had a stock rom in so long that I don't know what the original behavior was. If I can get a confirmation or two that it actually did this, I can look into doing that in IHO. But it probably won't be easy. The stock rom doesn't call chargerlogo from the standard init scripts, it is called directly from code that LGE added into the init binary. And AFAIK we don't have source to that.
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
There are a couple ways to fix this, depending on your current setup. The whole issues ties around the dalvik cache. Here's the various ways:

1. If you have link2sd installed you can link the dalvik files.

2. If you have Titanium Backup installed you can use the "Integrate Dalvik Cache into ROM" feature.

3. Using a file explorer with root privileges navigate to /system/etc/unit.d/ and move the file "01mvdalvik" somewhere else (i.e. SD card), then wipe cache/dalvik. NOTE: This method will reduce app storage space. You can move the file out, download the app, and move it back if necessary.

And there you have it. If you have any issues let us know.

There isn't an option to reboot on the stock rom. The only options are Silent Mode, Airplane Mode, and Power Off. Well, on the unrooted stock rom anyways. No idea about roms like BumbleBee.

[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
Ah, well, that explains a lot. :)

If anyone can think of a way to determine at startup time whether the phone was rebooted (warm boot) or powered on from a completely off state (cold boot), I'd appreciate it. I'm not familiar enough with the architecture to know.

Of course one option would be to touch a flag file to indicate reboot was requested. But that would be really ugly.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
WiFi BUG ISSUE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!!

I just did a complete wipe/format, and for the first time ever on my phone, did a factory reset in recovery. Note that this is not the instructions I posted for installing, but I wanted to follow what others had been posting they did. Once I reflashed the ROM and gapps, and rebooted, wifi would not scan or even activate for more than a couple of seconds.

What has happened is that a recent kernel upgrade had a borked wireless.ko module. If you don't format system/data/boot, this module can remain when flashing a new build (funky Android file system). So I followed my posted instructions, and had no problems, while others did unecessary complete wipes or factory restores, and had problems. I am building now with a fresh module, should have it up in a couple of hours (gotta test it first).

Moral of the story: Please, Please,

PLEASE

follow instructions for installing the ROM. Failing to do so leads to a sleepless night and a full day of debugging for me to figure out your problems. ;)

I'll have the new build up tonite if I can keep my eyes open! :cool:
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Yup. But it's probably not toooo hard to determine if the phone is booting up because it's been rebooted and/or if it's plugged into a charger or computer (the latter should be pretty easy, but might require a few tweaks to the USB driver).
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
I know that with me, both #2 and #3 worked only temporarily. I haven't tried #1 and am a bit wary of it, but I just might have to try in order to get my rogue internal space back ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
I have personally tried 1 and 3 and currently use method 1. Both seem to revert after updating the rom with a complete wipe but, at least with 1, a few simple touches of the screen and you are back in business. You have to re-link all your apps anyway after a complete wipe. Although I did have to do both 1 and 3 at the same time once about a month ago. Hadn't had any issues before that, with link2sd anyways, and haven't had issues since. Weird. Although it was a very large app (22 mb).

As for option 2 I've never tried it, mainly because link2sd works so well for me, but I have heard that it is, like the Market Fix app, a temporary fix. If you have partitioned your sd card I would say go with link2sd. If you haven't I would say partition your sd card and then go with link2sd. :D
[Optimus V Android Development] Grosskum:

Bobzhome 11182011 market update issue

i just started having this problem about 2 or 3 weeks ago. out of the blue! i always delete app data and uninstall updates. this usually gives me a few hours of use in the market, but the last time i tried this it didnt work at all.

ive read the options for "fixing" this problem and they require extensive adjustments. is there something in the rom that is conflicting with new market updates? something that can be adjusted in future rom releases?

im on Bobzhome 11182011.

ive tried link2sd and it only caused problems on this rom (on older versions it seemed to work fine). these were problems that required me to wipe my phone date and my SD card and its partitions. complete headache.

is there a newer gapps that we could try flashing? possible solution?

Just got a text from VM,about throttling back on data speeds. Has anyone else got a txt like this.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Yes

farts smell bad (10 char)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Well, a "reboot reason" is passed to the PMIC when the phone is rebooted. If that could be easily checked that would work.

The problem is that what's currently being checked (the "power on reason") will always indicate a wall charger (would be otherwise easy enough to only do off-mode booting if plugged into a not-computer) and will always indicate the current charging state. So even if you reboot from recovery, if the phone's plugged in the kernel will tell chargerlogo that the phone is on because the cable was plugged in.

That's almost certainly a no-go because you'd have to get further into the boot process to get access to the writable file system thus defeating the point of off-mode charging.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Was that a txt to you specifically or to VM customers in general? And what did it say?

Thanks.

Yes ,that is the txt I got earlier. I was about to put it up.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Just finished installing the latest BACKside and immediately noticed something very strange - the wallpaper is still there from the previous ROM:confused:

I did my usual: wipe cache, dalvik-cache, data/cache/system, run update-wiper 2-3 times, install rom, install gapps, install data2ext4, reboot.

Unless of course Jerry changed the wallpaper....

Nope, the screen just blew into static color - time to wipe and try again!
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
Static wallpaper? Is that your wallpaper from previous? Also, mess around with ADW Wallpaper Hack. That changed the wallpaper on me multiple times...
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
Hah, I wish! No, the screen went berserk and locked up. I guess somehow, I don't know how, neither the wipes or install took? This is a new one for me.

EDIT:

Something's definitely fishy because I just booted from another fresh install - same wallpaper, and when I decided to turn on my wifi it connected immediately without asking for the password. So it seems that my phone isn't being wiped somehow. A few minutes later a static screen again (when I say static I mean it's a snow-like screen with colors in it, not actual "active" static). I'm going to try a nandroid restore now.

Any thoughts or ideas?
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Some launchers saves some of the settings on your SD card, like your wallpaper and icons
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I use to have something similar happen. I found out later wiping system and boot would fix it. What is happening is a file is not getting deleted and that file is incompatible with the new rom.

Jerry says it is not necessary to format these however from time to time it doesnt hurt to wipe the entirety of your phone minus the sdcard. That is how the recent wifi bug was found.

As for your wallpaper and wifi settings well they are not getting wiped either when you are upgrading. I suggest wiping everything in the mounts and storage except for your sd card then do a factory reset from recovery and reinstall the rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
I've had the static come up before...I always wondered what it was...my screen would lock up and boom...but it hasn't happened since I moved to mrg's build
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
This is something different - haven't even come to the point of restoring/installing any apps so there aren't any launcher settings or such to be restored (and I've never used the installed ADWLauncher except during new installs).

Just checked the MD5 of my 6th download of BACKside 01202012 and here's what I see:

MD5 posted on Jerry's page: d712dcd077d1c92b1de30c8d59f71700 (DUH, just looked at the MD5 Jerry posted on the previous page, it's the same so that's not it: aef59f2a774ce84635e3570dbf244fef)

MD5 I have for all 6 downloads: AEF59F2A774CE84635E3570DBF244FEF

I used Md5Checker & MD5 Check Utility.

My nandroid backup restored AOK. Maybe I'll try the IHO recovery to see if that makes a difference.

I always wipe cache, dalvick-cache, format system/data/cache, and run update-wiper after that to do those again + sd-ext. I guess I could format the boot also. Or factory reset.

(RE)EDIT:

ok, i wiped/formatted everything including repartitioning the sdcard, reinstalled aospclockwork, factory reset, took the battery out for 10 minutes, and then reinstalled. all seems good now. i did all of this after realizing that my sd-ext wasn't getting erased either for some reason (pulled the sdcard and used ext2explore to check the contents..)
[Optimus V Android Development] Grosskum:
i've determined that its not the market, its the package installer, does anyone know where I can get an updated one or something?

Edit: actually getting another installer won't work because you need the old one to install it. FAIL
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
What sdext are you using? Aospclockwork is outdated and I don't think it recognizes ext4, I bet if you upgraded your recovery to the iho on github, or even cwm3... your sdext would wipe properly
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I'm sorry for going of topic but do any IHO roms have loop support?
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
went ahead and installed bobzhome iho recovery, of course i forgot until i'd already done the complete wipe and reinstall. the buttons are different but i'll get used to them quickly enough i'm sure. i liked xiona a while back but if i remember correctly i couldn't use it to install my data2ext.

my optimus is finally happy again. the only other problem i've had the past month or so is not being able to use titanium backup to restore my apps (too many freezes while restoring no matter which settings i use) and i've also had problems with mybackup and rom toolbox (many fc's, tried rom manager's repair permissions but hasn't worked) - started using app monster for apps & titanium for the data. takes longer but working great.

thanks to all who voiced their help & ideas:)
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
@Jerry Do you change Settings.apk? I'm trying to decompile it to change some icons but I keep getting an error. I've been able to do this on 1/10 and back (just now updating) but not anymore. When I installed the theme and tried opening settings it force closed (figured it would).

Anyway my main question is can I use a Settings.apk from a previous build (1/10 for example)? Thank you!
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I both sync the Settings app with CM source, and make my own changes to it when necessary (not often). I would recommend always using the current apk if you are doing smali edits.

[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Its never hurts to format all of the available areas. Initial boot will take longer but after that you know it rebuilt everything properly(atleast you hope it did :P)

The non wiping sd-ext was probably the culprit. Im gonna go out on a limb and say there was something there throwing a error that created your problems. Glad all is working right now.

Think i'm giving up on link2sd. Second time in a week where i had to relink and reboot a few times to get my apps back.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
On wiping boot - I used to do that when I first began tinkering and oh, what an uproar I heard back, so I stopped doing it (though soon afterwards I also heard strong opinions that wiping boot wouldn't cause any problems).

I guess what I don't understand is why the ext partition wasn't being wiped? I've checked it in the past (not every install) and it's been erased. Lately I've been thinking of

not

wiping it as I'm still trying to figure out how to update a rom without having to reinstall all of my apps (data2ext).

Still haven't figured it out: I've tried disabling data2ext, wipe cache/dalvik, update rom, install gapps, install data2ext, boot/enable data2ext, reboot - but it doesn't work for me. The apps sort of show up as installed in the application manager - they show up not as the app names but as the package names (not sure if that's correct either - they have the generic android icons and the names are like com.#####.####-## or android.#######.##### and such). And they aren't linked in the app drawer so they won't execute. My mind was on other things when I found this out yesterday so I forgot to check the apps list in Titanium or such but I would think if they showed up in the app manager they'll show up in Titanium also - possibly clear the cache for user apps or such.

Jerry, is there no icon set for the BacksideUpdater, because I have a generic android icon in my app drawer?

BobZhome recovery: anybody else have trouble mounting usb in recovery? (Unable to open ums lunfile...) I could try the other IHO recovery but I wonder if it has the same issue. Maybe I'll try Xionia again (data2ext issues?)
