Sprint activates for the Sprint network, Virgin Mobile activates for the VM network (as subset of Sprint's towers, but still considered a seperate network).

I have looked into porting the only VM Gingerbread phone's activate apk, but I really haven't had time to tear into it. Best bet is to flash back to stock or a Froyo based ROM if you need to activate. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Would there be much reason to include it? I mean, wouldn't it only be needed if you immediately flashed your phone after opening the box or gave your phone away?

I'm just thinking out loud. No reason to discuss. :P

Has anyone else attempted controlling our OVs with a Bluetooth keypad(PS3)?

[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Yes, I used it to try out a couple of emulators and it worked flawlessly.
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
The wildfire s also came stock with gingerbread. I could email or upload it if you wanna take another crack at it.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
That's the one I've looked into, afaik it's the only VM Gingerbread phone atm. ;)

What is the fastest, cleanest, IHO build up currently?

I see a new build, Harmonia, dated Jan. 7th. I seriously want the fastest, most basic, ROM currently available for our OV.

I'm also looking to improve average 3G speeds, if at all FACTUALLY possible, for tethering.

Any help is much appreciated. If none is to be offered, thanks anyway.

Sent via LG VM670 IHO
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Harmonia is a great ROM, but there haven't been any side-by-side tests to show it's faster. It's built from IHO with some of the CynaogneMod bloat removed.

3G speeds are not affected by the ROM. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] IVIatticus:
I am selling my phone. I wanted to sell it activated on my grandfathered plan, but the person buying already as an account. I am using Jerry's ROM am I going to have to go back to stock to activate this on their account? I have the MSL for the phone so I should be able to do the programming needed....
[Optimus V Android Development] ajones23:
You will have to take back to, stock rom to activate it.

[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
In the least I'd think harmonia or bumblebee froyo Roms would have the activate app if needed
[Optimus V Android Development] IVIatticus:
Do I have to take CWM off? or can I just find and flash the stock ROM?

So I may just be able to flash a different ROM with activation? Is there an activation APK that I can just install?

I can't just change the programming on the phone since it's already activated?
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
You should be able to flash any froyo rom. I know bumblebee has the activate apk. After you activate it flash back to gingerbread. There is currently no activate apk compatible with our phone and gingerbread.

I found a stock ROM that I can use.

I reached out to the buyer to see if she even knows what the **** a custom ROM is, if she doesn't I'll just leave the stock ROM on it. I have a nandroid backup from around the time I got the phone, but I have no clue if that was stock or not. I'm pretty sure I put a ROM on it the second it was fully charged and activated.

I flashed the latest Harmonia.

Its just that my 3G has been slacking as of late... am I being throttled?

No, Sprint's network is just a bit overloaded the last few months.

Wow that's alot better then mine.

My 3G has been like that since I've had my phone. Its been over 6 months and speeds have never improved.
[Optimus V Android Development] brooksyx:
I'm using the latest version of BobZhome's IHO build and noticed my alarms are no longer displayed on the lockscreen. Was this setting removed or do I need to change something so that the next alarm will show again on the lockscreen like it used to with earlier builds of IHO.

Thanks

edit: nevermind. I just restarted the phone and its showing now. That was weird.

Bootup animations and startup screen change

How does one disable the bootup animation? It was mentioned as an option in the newest revisions. Also, how does one change the "IHO" screen? Can it be changed?
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
Mine's been the same I got more coverage guessing sprint decided to fix up or build new towers because I get sservice inside more places :)

Just to share my recent story and see if it's "normal:"

Old sdcard went on the fritz, picked up a much larger one, partitioned, reinstalled my apps, installed link2sd, ran it, and saw everything go to hell in a handbasket; force closures everywhere.

The option to turn off boot animation is there. As for changing the IHO screen idk.

MiRaGe was supercharged by mistake

I have just been informed (thanks LeslieAnn) that I had left V6 settings in the build.prop in the last build. Apparently, I made a mistake while reverting back the system.prop from IHO repository after some experimenting and copied the build.prop from Bob's repo. This is just an FYI and you don't need to change anything. If you want to get rid of it, you can just edit build.prop to delete the block under V6 settings and reboot. I recommend leaving it as it is. Your phone is mistakenly supercharged :p
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
ahh. I thought the triumph was gb. I was mistaken.
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
On the disabling boot animation topic,

I do not see an improvement on boot speed when animation is disabled. It actually appears to stay on the second LG image for a longer period. Actually, at least on Harmonia, disabling the boot animation seems to increase overall boot time.

Sent via LG VM670 IHO
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkenCypher:
On Jerry's it definitely shortens boot time

sent via Optimus Prime V
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
I can speak to that as well. As long as it is a standard reboot (not formatting cache, dalvik, etc). If you format anything obviously it's going to take longer, but a reboot is shorter.

Sent from the n_visible1's OV on BACKside
[Optimus V Android Development] SuperFilapo:
Harmonia already boots extremely fast. Disabling boot animation nearly doubled the boot time.

I'm only speaking for Harmonia. It seems that the boot animation is built in differently in Harmonia as well.

There is a bootanimation but it isn't where you'd typically find the bootanimation.zip. (phone/system/media/)

fyi

ClockworkMod Recovery available through ROM Manager does not work at all now since they upgraded to version 5.0.2.7...

LG Optimus V (VM670) is being recognized as an Optimus C (LW690), downloads 5.0.2.7 recovery and no keys work except up and down-which are mapped to incorrect keys as well.

I'm sending an email to Koush to fill in the details.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Yet another reason we do not support ROM Manager in IHO. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] deaver_92:
Use Flash Image GUI. It actually works. You have to download or transfer the recovery you want to your SD card, but it works.

I've also noticed this.. do you think our device was removed due to the complaints? It would be pretty silly, I really hope that's not the case.

ROM Manager... pfft

Sent via LG VM670 IHO
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Honestly I wouldnt doubt it. I use to defend Koush but his attitude and arrogance when I was trying to figure out why Rom Manager was not working on the Optimus V, Ive decided he can piss off.

The only reason I keep rom manager installed is for the fix permissions function. When I try to use the one built into recovery it borks my phone. Otherwise Rom Manager falls into the category with ATK not needed as a staple any longer.
[Optimus V Android Development] thaunknownartist:
Now that my ROM is complete, I have added it to the GitHub, I am proud to be ranked with the greats now :D Shoutout to JerryScripts, BobzHome, and Mrg666; Without you guys I would have quit back in November. Thank you

md5sum c149c3a2b198cb5de96b84abd572d390

GreenMachineTheme-01092012.zip

Changes:

-Made some changes to status bar and notification dropdown background settings to impove theme support (needs testing)

-Added custom notification dropdown background image, please submit additional ones to add in future builds, selection will be based on popularity (donaters to Blarf will of course be given preference ;))

-Add option to make media the default volume control, default is still ringer volume, helps when trying to set a song's volume before you begin playing it (embarassment saver ;))

-Added ADB Over Network option to Settings>>Applications>>Development

Once enabled, go to Settings>>Wireless and network settings>>WiFi settings then press your menu key and select Advanced

Use the IP address listed and add port 5000 to use ADB via WiFi

adb connect 192.168.1.123:5555

(replace IP address with your phone's)

As always, thanks to Blarf, BobZhome, mrg666, LeslieAnn, kermikalelite, Whyzor, bigsupersquid, the CM team, the AOSP team, and many many more! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
I've been wondering about fixing permissions - is this something I should do every so often or only when something screwy is going on?

Thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] jntdroid:
the IHO bootup splash screen - is that something that has to be changed via some sort of fastboot command or something along those lines?
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
I just flashed the new build and I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing a transparent status bar when they press any of the soft keys to turn on the screen, and then see the status bar become normal after unlocking the phone?
[Optimus V Android Development] jayleekay:
My Bobz does the same. It was set to transparent but changing it doesn't seem to do anything.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Please list your status bar background settings, and lockscreen background settings.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
I was having issues with it turning transparent in lockscreen and also in some apps(Engadget,messaging).What i did to fix it back to say just black like original was select statusbar color as rom and it seemed to fix my issues.Other then that haven't had any other problems Jerry.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
If you are having issues with the status bar try:

Settings>>ADW launcher>>System perferences>>Wallpaper Hack (uncheck it). ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
Tried that but it made the Status Bar transparent ALL the time then haha. My status bar settings are theme (But I am not using any theme ;)), and my lockscreen background is the default wallpaper.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I think it was more apart of his migration to the new version of his recovery image that the device list got screwed up recently.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Supposedly if there are force closes after Rom upgrades it can alleviate some issues.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
OK, I may have gotten my logic confused on the new status bar setting. Try using ROM when you think you should use Theme, and visa-versa. ;)

Curious though, if you aren't using a theme, why leave it on Theme? ;)

(perhaps I should change the default setting as well)
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
Yesss! It worked! I left it on Theme because YOU have it set there as the default ;) I never noticed anything wrong with that so I never changed it! If it ain't broke don't fix it :cool:
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I've had the same problem for a long time. As for the rom manager argument I still see the merit. Imagine for a moment it did have all the kinks out with our phone. It's be a nifty way to roll out updates. Plus it's got some hooks into deploying cyanogenmod ROMs. If the phone model was recognized properly again, the key mappings were fixed in the new recovery image, we put the hooks in our roms to indicate version notification to Rom manager it would auto notify of new versions of the ROM. I blame Koush partly for lack of device-specific support but some of the work has to be done by the ROM maintainer to maintain their particular model's user space. Just not a lot of documentation on that.

But there are really only like 4 simple issues holding out back. It's getting those 3 addressed with Koush that he'd likely have to fix - unless he'd let us provide bobz's recovery for him to publish in ROM Mgr, fix the device recognition in the manifest (pretty sure it'd just take a github request) and then start adding the update notify code when ROMs are built it'd be full functioning. Can't deny its a popular tool and might draw more users.
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
Once bitten, twice shy. Too many hours lost to RM, I will not support it.

The other devs may feel different, and decide to use it. Their prerogative. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Either way I have a list of different recoveries that work better anyways
[Optimus V Android Development] mkoyskip:
okay, thanks.

after some pondering i remember using the fix permissions in rom manager early last year, just to see what would happen. if i remember correctly i re-installed my rom afterwards (though i can't say it was definitely because of that - i was brand new to custom roms).

Special Build Is Up!

BIG THANKS TO Tom Marshal aka tdm FOR FIXING THE CHARGE-WHILE-POWERED-OFF ISSUE!

BACKside-IHO-VM670-01102012.zip

md5sum 8070234dcf9bad2ea7f96666b2857418

GreenMachineTheme-01102012.zip

Changes:

--Reversed logic on transparent status bar background for theme/rom, needs testing.

--FIXED CHARGING WHILE POWERED OFF

notes:

-Turning off your phone and then plugging it in will begin charging

-Long press the power button to boot the phone up

-Rebooting in recovery while usb is plugged in will put you in charge-while-powered-off mode, once you see the battery charging images, long press the power button to boot up.

Thanks again Tom, this is one of the oldest gingerbread bugs around for the OV! ;)

Note- I will not be adding this to the main post or the wiki yet, since I just posted a build.

MMS not working?

I can send mms, but when they get sent to me it says 'download' and then always errors out- with both stock messaging and handcent - is this a known bug, or something else going on?

MiRaGe-01102012

Hi Everyone,

I have uploaded the new MiRaGe with the following changes to the Wiki

- Huge thanks to tdm for fixing the long-standing offline charging issue. With this, red LG logo before CM boot animation has been replaced with VM splash screen.

- Synced with CM which brought the followings changes besides some other small changes

- Ringlock style options added to CM settings

- Support for BT GPS dongles. I can't test this and feedback appreciated.

As always all of the thanks to Blarf, Bob, Jerry, thekraven, tdm, Bigsupersquid, Whyzor, and the CM team who made this possible.

Enjoy!
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
If it says download then most likely your 3g isn't on. Check to make sure it's on because you can only send and receive mms with 3g.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Actually you should just need a data connection. 3G or 1xRTT shouldn't matter. I'm working on getting my GB build environment working again. Looks like I'll need to reorganize the vendor/cyanogen files?

In any case I hope to have the off-mode charging stuff integrated into the IHO repo. Unsure what I want to do WRT the Virgin specific animations. I guess ideally I'll have the existing stuff as a fallback, and get the carrier specific animations as people contribute them.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
This commit in android/build needs to be reverted if you have merged it. Hope it helps.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I know I've been lax with development recently, and even more so in updating the original post. With that said, I second the thanks here. It's really awesome to see this become such a well coordinated group effort. You guys all rock for the contributions you've made.

While I'd prefer to see more discussion on the XDA forums (since they don't obfuscate their links), it's great to see new people jumping in the fray. I tend to prefer having a much more disciplined approach to committing stuff to *my* repositories, but I can't help but think it might be worth setting up another github account and adding all of the frequent committers so that you guys can all push stuff on your own to a central repository (as this project has obviously outgrown me a long time ago).

In any case, great job guys. This is starting to look pretty slick.
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I just renamed the product files to something perhaps more appropriate. Ex: cyanogen_thunderc_virgin.mk -> cyanogen_thunderc_VM670.mk. It's building fine so far (but it's only been going for like fifteen minutes.

BTW ya'll are welcome to add me on GTalk (it's my usual e-mail address).

The room service commit does work with what Blarf changed. I have been doing it that way for a bit now.

IHO logo

I just flashed the newest January 10 build, and I noticed right away that the I.H.O. logo had been replaced with Virgin Mobile.

Did you forget to add in the IHO logo because you were too excited when you found out the power off + charging bug had been fixed? ;-)

Edit: Strange, when I ran a reboot, the IHO logo came up, then the Virgin Mobile logo. So did the IHO logo get concatinated with the default VM logo? Because I thought there existed only the LG phone logo, boot image (normally IHO), and startup image (spinning green android).
[Optimus V Android Development] JerryScript:
That's the original first bootlogo/animation, fixed by tdm's commit for offline-battery-charging. I will probably be editing those images to better reflect BACKside-IHO-CM in the future. ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
Now that I think about it, why do my most people I know who own an Android end up not using GTalk? It would make sense to actually use it since this is a Google phone, it should be like the BBM of Android :o
[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
I use it on my personal account because it's the easiest on battery life (and the best at syncing between different clients). The IHO e-mail acct is not associated with the phone because the Gtalk client will only do the primary Google account. But it'll end up on my Touchpad or in the queue when I fire up the desktop client.

Anyhow, it looks like it should now be possible to do a clean build from straight IHO sources now. Whee. Anyone want to donate a continuous integration server? :D
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
If I could hook you up I would, when I start working again I'll make a donation, you deserve it :)
[Optimus V Android Development] a5pe4:
I've thought this for a while. Android is still searching for it's answer to BBM and iMessage even though it's already on its phones! They just either need to hype it more or include some pieces like file transfer.

[Optimus V Android Development] blarfiejandro:
Keep in mind that the Sprint binary looks for 16 images, the Virgin one only looks for 12. It shouldn't be too hard to modify the existing bootanimation binary for our purposes here so that multiple proprietary binaries aren't kept in the repository.
