Awesome I post what I found was missing from the previous build and I get made fun of. Fan boy will still be fan boys.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
here's a link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=optimus+v+extended+battery

don't know if there are any cases that can fit those...
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
I just noticed that I'm running link2sd version 1.9.2. Is this the "next release" you refer to? The one that's been fixed??
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
No, I have reported the problem to the developer (bakpinar) after 1.9.2.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
quick question: on the github page it has debugsystem.zip (i think it was actually debug-formatSYSTEM.zip) as an option to get a proper wipe. never used it so tried it and got "please switch to edify scripting...." error. so if this zip isn't compatible with cmod 3 i'm not sure why it's listed there?

i've been using something that does the same thing i think (update_wiper_1.3.zip) that wipes my cache/data/system/ext and seems to work fine, just thought i'd try it.

thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] smokenbiskits:
I updated to the 1004 mirage build and the home screen and search button stopped working. I reflashed again and instead of using rom manager I use recovery with the same results. Any thoughts?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Rom Manager is not recommended for flashing the IHO ROM. Please check the wiki in the first post for recommended installation procedure and the recovery. After installing the recommended recovery, I would additionally recommend you to start with a complete wipe as explained there since we can't know what is messed up in your phone right now by flashing with the ROM Manager.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
mrg666 -

installed jerry's latest and my wifi problems seem to have disappeared. still not sure why since your 09.24 build seemed to be working fine... i went through my apps & settings to see if i'd done something different or added something new but didn't find anything that should make a difference. i'm gonna install your 10.04 anyway to check it out.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
It is not the WiFi fix I removed since 0924 build did not have it either. There is something else that is causing trouble for you. Since Jerry's build is working fine, I would not bother trying something else again. At least, wait for the next build. Thanks for the feedback.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I used whatever version of gcc comes with the NDK. Be aware that the latest version of the NDK includes a version of gcc that will not generate working kernels.

Yes, I'm still pissed that they outright refuse to support FreeBSD as a development platform because it makes my life that much more difficult. For all of their posturing about not wanting people to think that FreeBSD is an officially supported choice... they go and break the reference platform. Yes, Google really sucks a big fat one.
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
ok, i know that's what you said before. i'll wait until the next. just gets me when i can't figure something like this out...

thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
I really don't think you were being referred to. Some people love the bootsound, others have legitimate reasons for not caring for it at all. If you had been quoted, perhaps you could feel you were being made fun of, but I'm pretty sure you took msj's post the wrong way.

You can fix the bootsounds on the 1004 build by:

1) edit build.prop and remove the bootsound line

2) edit init.local.rc and remove all the lines under bootsound

3) remove /system/bin/bootsound

4) reboot

5) use eollie's script to enable bootsounds

6) reboot and cover your ears. ;)

Edit- forgot step 3 in original post, sorry.

Kickass Kernel made my device act up, touch screen has been bugging out and the wifi goes on and off randomly. Am I the only one who has experienced this? Even so Kickass Kernel isn't doing much
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
I cant get it to work now. Uggh.

Im thinking something else got borked.
[Optimus V Android Development] smokenbiskits:
IHO recovery fixed it :-)
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Next build, I'm going to switch to a zip file to enable bootsounds from recovery. Seems to work better that way, since every time I try to include it in the source it gets borked somehow.

FYI- The builds with working bootsounds have them enabled via the update-script in the ROM's zip file. The builds without working bootsounds have the code added to the source. I think the issue is with file ownership/permissions, but everything I've tried when building with the code included borks the bootsound. Making it a seperate zip file will make it easier for everyone to have it the way they want it. ;)

I missed something here, what is a Kickass Kernel?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
oh wow! yeah, thanks for responding to that. yeah, i'm surprised that my post directed as a funny jab at you was taken the wrong way by anyone else, lol!

Bluetooth

Has anyone figured out the bluetooth issue yet? I would love to use this rom again but I need bluetooth for driving. Thank you.

Great Job Again Blarfie. Best ROM I've EVER USED..... I'm getting some minor Wi-Fi issues though. Unplugged and walking through my digitally enabled environs, the wireless works as expected, plugged in on ac, also working fine, but once i hook into pc via usb to just charge, I get issues; BUT ONLY WHEN STREAMING FROM PHONE TO WINAMP, or WHEN TRYING TO LOAD CONTENT FROM WINAMP TO PHONE, i'm guessing this is a WinAmp issue... Desktop will only discover the phone as device in Mass Storage mode, or when on battery. I can Plug in USB once streaming....but it'll just complete whatever track is playing then start looking for the device again. Just thought i'd put that out there, I've seen other posts re: wi-fi but none really covered my situation. again....love the ROM, Keep em comming.....
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Even deleting everything like you would if you ran the script twice, then running the script it still wont work. Atleast for me its not. I havent had the time to look real deep but Ill chalk it up as a fluke lol.
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
Hey does anybodys IHO build use the BrainFCKscheduler?

Its apart of the kernel so I guess what I mean is anybodys kernel using it?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
mrg666, fyi i tried flashing your transparent theme and i got a bootloop. has this been happening to anyone else that you know of or do you have any ideas of what may have caused it? otherwise, your build is working great!
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Did you flash the theme right after flashing the ROM? You need to boot ROM at least once before flashing theme. It works fine for me if I boot the ROM once.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
yeah, i've actually had the ROM installed for a couple of days and just decided to try the theme this morning. the only thing i had thought of was that i had a theme chooser theme running at the time. but after i flashed my backup, i had changed to the standard theme in theme chooser but still got bootloop.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Please make sure you are using the 09302011 theme from the Wiki download page with 10042011 build. Themes are most of the time not compatible across different builds. There might also be a conflict with the theme chooser since that is a UOT theme. Although you have reverted back to the standard theme, theme chooser still moved and modified the system configuration. I can only think of wiping clean and reflashing but this sounds very much like a solution from M$ support line. :o Sorry.
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
Where is your theme at bro?

The kernel that kicks your ass. :D Perhaps he means Smartass.
[Optimus V Android Development] BobZhome:
The current kernel does not have BFS. If you can find a repo that uses the .32 version, then I will pull and test it.
[Optimus V Android Development] warfenix:
Its a script like v6super charger but tweaks the kernel. Made by the same person.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
messin' around with the kernel. Pulling random commits from some kernel tinkerers (FranciscoFranco, Imoseyon, LorDClockaN)

I haven't a clue if these are neat or not... just reading commits & picking out things that looked interesting from their kernels. Each of them have their own work on XDA for various phones & seem to pull stuff from one another lately.

Working off of BobZhome's fork of the kernel here also had some links to other commits I saw that looked interesting. Most interesting were these. If anyone is good at git see if you can work any of them in as I'm really just moving them over by hand.

I could be doing more harm than good because I'm messing around with something over my head but I wanted to try. And maybe it'll inspire someone or something.

LorDClockaN on xda (Desire HD)

FranciscoFranco on xda (LG P500)

Imoseyon on xda (HTC Thunderbolt)
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
ya know, i just need to say thanks to blarf, mrg666, jerry and i'm sure many others that i don't know about whom have projected all of this work - i've seen them reply/answer specific issues, questions, requests - and i think that's just AWESOME. i usually don't waste space to just write thanks but i don't think i've made a specific note to do so.. so thanks!:D

just took my a+ and net+, going further real soon so hopefully i'll be able to thank ya'll in a different way ($) real soon. i've learned so much in these pages.

later.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Congratulations and good luck!
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
mrg, just an FYI, i did the complete wipe and reflashed the ROM, and then after rebooting flashed the theme and it worked. it must have been all the messing around in theme chooser that did it.

love the transparency! it inspired me to create my own transparent theme in the kitchen with a few more icons and fluff.
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
Here is what I have found. A desire kernel with the BFS added to it. It has a few other things so I hope this works for you guys.

will do. i may even upload the thing for those using the Mirage build. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] DeerSteak:
I wiped battery stats in recovery when I got mine, then once I ran it down a couple of times and charged back to full, it figured out what was going on. Took about a week because I now get 3-3.5 days on a charge! :o

This is what I did, too. And it works very, very well. I love this battery even though my phone feels like a friggin brick.

5 seconds to redraw the home screen??

I'm running the latest (1004) MiRaGe build and I notice it takes a long time to 're-draw' my screen when I rotate the phone from portrait to landscape and back--something like 5 seconds each time.

Is that normal?? I don't recall things being that pokey in the past. I've got 5 widgets and 4 app shortcuts on there--and static wallpaper. (It takes 2 - 3 seconds to redraw the other non-widget screens.) I'm using the latest GO launcher...
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I am using it with stock launcher and one widget only, it does not take more than 2 seconds to rotate the screen (just tested with Market app). You seem to have a problem with your configuration.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Any suggestions on what might be configured incorrectly?

This flash was not a total-wipe-and-flash like I usually do. Would that likely contribute to this sluggishness?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Before wiping clean, did you try just a simple reboot? Try killing the widgets one by one, going back to ADW Launcher, and uninstall V6supercharger (if you have it). I hate recommending total wipe but I have no idea which application/configuration is causing this. Finally, I would try starting with a clean flash and change the configuration one step at a time to find out the reason. Just focus on the always-running apps like widgets, launcher, and tweaks like v6supercharger. Since you are going to wipe anyway, you could test Bob's and Jerry's builds with your current configuration as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] wilberfan:
Great minds think alike... ;)

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Has anyone ever decided what settings in the V6superCharger are? Did I read '9' & then '12' somewhere in this thread?? :confused:

Recommendations welcome! :)

[EDIT] Ooops. I guess JerryScript addressed this earlier:

Nevermind! :D

[2nd EDIT] Another option, I discovered, is to 'lock' the screen into portrait orientation.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
I may just get a replacement phone, this Optimus V is acting up lately, touchscreen is terrible.. when I get a chance to record it on video, I will post a link.. is the Intercept any better?
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Actually.. nvm I'll stick with anything but the Intercept
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
I have the go launcher with the latest biuld and a couple of widgets and Im running very smoothly. It takes 1-2 seconds to switch back and forth. I have the v6 script beta running 512mb multitask setting and have my overclock 408-806mhz smartassv2.....

I can Get a full 24 hours with web browsing and some gaming,calls and texting.

Im gonna try charging my battery again and running it down so I can see what uses the phone the most.

Is there a perticular app yall use to check what services keep the phone awake?
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
You can check the wakelocks using Spare Parts. If you REALLY want to go in depth, check the BetterBatteryStats app on XDA.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
So are people noticing measurable differences with the supercharger tweaks? If so, with what settings?
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
It's different every time I flash a new rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Market all of a sudden keeps FCing
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
The obvious response is clear data. If it just bam out of no where more than likely it picked up some corrupt data and is trying to tell you to fix it. FC's normally mean something is messed up and if its just out of nowhere well last thing you installed prolly boogered it up.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
so i made a fun little theme for the latest Mirage build. i may do some tweaking on the power widget and battery icon, but if anyone's interested, i can post it. it does have a transparent status bar, custom fonts and a sexy boot animation. the only reason i'm hesitant to post it is because there are minor things that are bugging me that i want to fix.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
In that case I'll try to uninstall what last caused the issue and reinstall it. Thank you :)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Would it be possible to make the notification bar exclude the Android popping up? Looks good so far :)

Btw I love transparent and simple themes, dunno what others like.
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
I have changed over to go sms and uninstalled the stock one, also uninstalled the stock keyboard and using the go keyboard and my phone is alot more elegant looking and it functions alot better. I just wish i had more screen rel-estate :(

Has anybody else thought about the moto triumph?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
yeah, i decided to take that out as well. my updated theme will have updated icons and battery gauge. the boot animation is called "Jumpgate"....probable the coolest one i've ever seen. i'll probably upload tonight.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I outlined my thoughts on what it is doing here since the developer talks too much to make sense of.

According to the script the 512 HP (options 5-7) are what a 512MB RAM phone should use.

I tried 2 and 5 through 9, opened a few apps to try to get stuff running in the background and viewed the OOM groupings with Auto Memory Manager similar to zeppelinrox did screenshots in the 1st post on his thread.

Comparing the settings I couldn't see any processes move to higher or lower OOM groupings. I guess I didn't have enough things running? I dunno but it either doesn't really do much or he doesn't have a real way to trace how his script affects memory management during continuous operation.

In the end I just use the 5th setting under 512HP,, in Cyanogenmod performance settings I guess I have my VM heap size set to 48 since I guess he recommends that so the acore process doesn't split into 2 OOM groupings, and uncheck lock home in memory in Cyanogenmod performance settings.

I don't really know if I tax my phone enough to experience the benefits of stock vs. any of the settings... and I may just be speaking out of my butt and not really understand the concepts.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
ok, here is a theme i have named "Numb". It will only work with Mirage 100411 build.

It features:

- Transparent Status Bar (only if using live wallpaper. if you want to use is with regular wallpaper, download "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" and only set it to a single picture"

- Green Color Scheme (status bar fonts, menu divider, mixer loading circle, volume bar, etc...)

- "Jumpgate" boot animation. it's seriously the best boot animation i've ever seen. :)

- Ubuntu Fonts

- Anastroid themed Notification Power Widget buttons

http://www.mediafire.com/?gk26o77jh0z4a1y

Installation:

1. Reboot to Recovery

2. Please make a nandroid backup. I know it's just a theme, but I really don't want to break anyone's phone.

3. Wipe Cache

4. Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Flash numb.zip

6. Enjoy!

Screenshots?
[Optimus V Android Development] CaptainShanks:
I don't know when exactly this happened, but one of the recent builds (I'm using MiRaGe 10/4/2011) must have fixed my USB tethering without my noticing :D It used to be that when I would check the tethering option, it would report my USB as not being connected, but now it's right as rain.

I'm using one of the newer Optimus Vs, though I'm positive there wasn't any change worth mentioning that in regards to tethering :P

EDIT:

Oh sue me, I got the year wrong ^_^
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
10/4/2010? Wow, mrg is even more on the ball than I thought if he was making builds four months before the Optimus V was released! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] EvoX2008:
When I use skype and the screen shuts off (proximity sensor) the quality goes really bad.. to the point when I can't make out any words the other person is saying. On the other end they can't hear me, but once I move the phone away from my ear and the screen turns on again - the call is crystal clear.

Anyone who is using skype (latest version 2.5), please let me know your performance settings for cpu, also if your proximity sensor is enabled.. will try to get the previous version of skype in the mean time.

Thanks!

I'm using the latest build from Mirage (10.4.2011)

[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
One thing I wanna see, transparent apps such as Settings and XDA Premium and the dialer, kinda like in MEIZU
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
The theme looks very nice. I suggest making more themes and probably starting a new thread of your themes only. If you can test with the other builds, it would be good. I bet they would work with Jerry's and Bob's builds as well.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
Agreed. I had thought about doing that as well. With work and family, time is kind of limited but if there's enough interest I would definitely cook up some more themes.

As far as theming specific apps, I don't even know where to start, lol. But if anyone wants to join forces to get it done, I'm open! :)
[Optimus V Android Development] EwanG:
Since my phone is running so well now, I'm tempted to install Beautiful Widgets (which I used to run on my Nexus One and my Xoom). I didn't initially because I was worried about battery life, and possibly overpowering the phone.

Anyone else out there who has run it under IHO? Or would that still require more horsepower than the V gives?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
i'm running Beatiful Widgets and it works just fine on my phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] eep1:
I use Fancy Widgets and it works fine.
[Optimus V Android Development] dingermtb:
Beautiful Widgets runs great on my phone as well. Actually I run tons of widgets. If worried about battery life, try Juice Defender. Best app i ever bought.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
If I had access to a PC I'd gladly help out, my resources are limited at the moment :(

Btw I love the animations on your theme.
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
Thanks. Yeah I'm a big fan of flying animations.

Hopefully the kitchen expands their options to include theming the dialer and other common apps.

Fyi I plan on making a couple more themes this week. My plans are :

Red status bar theme

Black and Blue theme

Green Bay Packers theme ;)

I'll make my own thread soon. Maybe others can contribute their themes and ideas too! :)
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
The curse of having a fairly stable codebase... lol.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
What kinda changes?
[Optimus V Android Development] reaper420:
I'm gonna have to try out that black and blue theme
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
BTW, I think it is important to point out that this is definitely not a solo effort. Obviously I've been slacking lately (including. on the credits page) but Jerry, Bob, Mrg, et al. have been working hard at making sure development doesn't stagnate. Thank you to everyone for the hard work and donations.
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Let me know when that thread is up :)
[Optimus V Android Development] konnspiracy:
You should try making an elegant theme. Like the stock captivate theme with mixed colors.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Originally, as you know, I was taking the OTA zip file, modifying it, re-signing it, then posting it. Then with your advice, I switched to the optimized zip package, modified it, re-signed, and posted it. However, my re-signing method appeared to be causing issues with gapps. People had to reflash gapps with almost every build I posted in the past month or so.

So, I started with a clean repo sync of IHO, and then made all my changes to the source, rather than making changes to the zip package. Now that I don't have to re-sign, there's no need to reflash gapps any longer, and less issues with the market giving invalid package errors.
