[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Ok here's a list of the .apk's I removed from the /system/app folder. So far the phone has boot several times with no problems and everything I normally use is working. Some of these were removed because they were showing up in Android System without me ever even starting them. I get the feeling some were 'left behind' by LG...

Of course some apps were removed just cause I didnt like looking at them ;)

AnalogClockWidget.apk

ApplicationManager.apk

BatteryUseageWidget.apk

BookmarksWidget.apk

Clock.apk (replaced with alternative)

Now its just a matter of waiting to see if there's any improvement in Android System useage/battery life.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
For those keeping track....2 days..3hrs.

I went to bed last night at 1 and it was at 20% ...it died sometime before 8am

Yipeee...at least i know what to do i.c.e

Now i want to see what results i get with "normal" use

No wifi
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
@Call me Aria

Please post your results. I'd like to pull some stuff out without having to reput it back in. What app are you using to find and uninstall those apks?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I'm using estrongs. Its the free equivalent to root explorer. So far so good. No negatives to pulling any of that stuff. Android System is still using the same % of overall battery useage as before. There are still some high consumers with lg in the name that I can't find in /system/app but I do see them in settings>applications>manage applications>all.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Yup, I think there is an awful bug somewhere in LG's code that is eating through our batteries. Don't think you will fix it by removing apps. Pretty sure the bug is deeper than that and we will need an update from LG to fix it. Someone mentioned in another thread that LG plans to release an update to improve battery life on the Thrill, so maybe that will be the ticket.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
I think LG is cheating to make the phone seem quicker by preloading apps and services so there is no loading time by doing this they are draining our battery. They need to focus on improving loading times in general not just preload everything. Whether it is a bug or lg cheating I have no clue but if I wouldnt doubt they are cheating.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I have no doubt about that. Some of the apks I removed were lg services that were running constantly in Android System. I've definitely noticed better battery life when I'm not using the phone. There were way to many apks in there with the words 'test' in them and even 1 or 2 that said 'debug'. Those to me sound like something's that got left behind from software testing (but who knows). I'm sure there's plenty of code that needs to be cleaned up too. Lets hope that 'update' is gingerbread, as its much better St handling resources than Froyo. My GB devices all showed improvements in battery life and overall reliability/responsiveness when I upgraded them to GB...the Thrill should be no different.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Did you remove the apk and the odex?
[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
yeah that is what I was saying in my post is that all these additional things were running without me doing anything with them. Even when I kill the processes they immediately start back up again.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
I'm pretty sure when you're looking at battery usage and click on Android System it shows you all apps and services that are registered under Android System whether they are running or not. Most of them listed there don't even look to be running. I actually find the test applications you deleted very useful. They let you change a ton of low level system settings. For example, on the stock ROM you could launch one of the test applications and disable entitlement to unlock tethering. It's pretty normal for the manufacturer to leave them there. Most phones ship with test and debug applications on them.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

That's normal. It's how Android works, not something LG did.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
On stock rom yes. Thriller is de-odexed though so no .odex to remove.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Gotcha. Well whether it helps battery life or not its that many less services using up ram at any given time which would mean services you want open are less likely to be killed or lag right?

EDIT: Android System is now responsible for only 49% of battery useage on my phone. That's a pretty decent dip already.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
gtg465x

Can you add a battery mod the Rom? I personally recommend the CM one.
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
Thanks, but I fixed it days ago. I think I, posted saying I used titainium backup and restore sywpe on accident. Thanks for the help anyways.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Yes, but you have to ask yourself... do you really want to watch the battery level drop one percent at a time on this phone?

Battery performance is really my main gripe with this phone. Hope LG can and will fix whatever's causing Android System to use so much battery. And they better do it within 10 days or everyone is going to bail.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Are you going to update another version of Thriller? I was planning on flashing this tonight but thought I'd see if you were going to do any updates before doing so.

I had thought about returning the phone but I've already burned through 11 phones in the last two years because I can't get a phone that actually works right. This one does except for the stupid battery issue. But seeing as how I have 5 lines with 4 of them having upgrades over the next year, I don't see a point in jumping over the SGSII when in 6 months something even better will be out.

Yes...11 phones. 7 of them Captivates...I don't trust Samsung.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
Odd issue....my external SD took a dump on me...giving me a "wrong filesystem" error. Took it out and tried reading it via card reader and nothing. It wont format. ..nothing. so I figure whatever...throw a freshly formatted card in and now internal AND external = nothing.

Any ideas? My brain is fried...long day today

Edit...something definitely wrong with extra SD. Took card out and boom...internal SD works again
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Yes, I don't mind watching the battery level drop.

If you don't want it in the Rom though, could you just make the BM flashable in a separate package?
[LG Thrill 4G] fdotorres:
this is the first ROM that i've flashed by myself since i went from ios to android 3 months ago. my speed test went from 2.4 mb/s to 7.8 mb/s :D:D:D:D

excellent stuff so far. thank you very much for your effort, i hope to see more stuff from you!!
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Yes, there will be more updates. Probably not by tonight though. Sometime this weekend though. Might as well install the current version. It's easy to update when I release new versions and you don't lose anything or have to set everything up again.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
New test is going extremely well.

11 hours. 60%

No wifi ...network only :)
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
If I could make a suggestion. If you theme the charging battery, the signal bars and the 4g icons this would be the best.
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
I really have no issues with the battery, but that could be due to my experience with my captivate and CM7.

That thing couldn't last 12 hours with no wi-fi and light use. This phone, with moderate use, lasts me over 24 hours.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Sometimes I get ok battery life and other times not. I think it depends on whether or not Android System randomly starts acting up on you. Today Android System is only at 16% of total battery usage for me so the battery is holding out well.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
Interesting. I will have to watch that. Mine is at 60% today
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
If it's anything like the well known Gingerbread Android System battery drain bug, there is one known method that sometimes fixes it. Turn the phone off, pull the battery out for a minute, and then replace it and boot back up. Seems to be what brought my Android System usage back down.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
19 hours 20%

;)

No wifi ...no airplane mode.

And that is with 60% android system.

I need to figure out what's up with my extra SD card slot tho. It wont read anything I put in it.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Did you bend a pin in there? It looks like it would be easy to do. I thought I did the first time I pulled the microSD card out.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
I thought the same but they looked good. I have more light here at home so I will check again.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
So, about that Battery Mod....
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
This weekend. Patience.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Ok, just wanted to know if you were working on it.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Theming is tedious.
[LG Thrill 4G] entropism:
Mine is draining at about 10%/hour with minimal to no use. Definitely not good. System is at about 40% though, no idea why.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Thanks for this rom. Really enjoying that I flashed it.
[LG Thrill 4G] SpellronHD:
vanilla android

gtg would you be able to make a vanilla android version of this rom?
[LG Thrill 4G] ATTShawn:
I don't get more than 3.8 mbps down in Tampa bay area :(
[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
And why are you complaining here? It's not something wrong with rom it's probably just your area. He already lifted the cap from 8 to 10, smh.

Btw, can you make o'c kernel, if you do know how to...
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Why does everyone want to OC? I'm more interested in UV if anything.
[LG Thrill 4G] ATTShawn:
Never said it was the ROM. I got worse with the stock OS. I'm just saying..

I wouldn't leave this ROM for anything. It's simple and themed perfectly.
[LG Thrill 4G] edgar360:
Thanks for the ROM. Phone runs awesome!
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Maybe just a personal preference. But can you throw an autorotate on/off option in the pull down menu? It's so much easier to pull down the status bar and click rather than having a home toggle switch.

Also, I tried putting a wifi hotspot toggle widget but it reboots the phone everytime I use it rather than going through the settings. Any reason why?
[LG Thrill 4G] tylerwagler:
Are you doing anything with the kernel as far as adding HAVS or a new scheduler like smartass?
[LG Thrill 4G] mafiadesi:
Is there any other way of flashing this rom without using ADB? I know the Xperia X10 uses XRecovery. I just ask because I'm new to ADB and I don't want to mess anything up.
[LG Thrill 4G] :
Looks great, but wish there was a new 3D PNG. Cause the current one is uglay.
[LG Thrill 4G] edgar360:
And there's an update I was waiting for :)

Yeah I know.....I'm an addict :eek:

Thanks!!
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
I typically just flash full. If I just flash the update, everything stays the same 'cept the couple of changes?

In other words, I don't have to worry about losing my current setup screens and restoring apps with Titanium?
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Yup

[LG Thrill 4G] irishpunk:
Thanks for another great update! Can't wait to see your work once there's gingerbread on this phone! Keep up the great work gtg!
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
When will we get an alternate lock screen option? I loved it when I had the infuse.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Just an FYI... If you aren't using the LG email app you may want to freeze or remove it. I found it was using a little bit of CPU and staying in memory even though I wasn't using it.
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
I did that quite some time ago. I found it annoying to get 2 notifications with every email.

Do you know why, if you freeze the regular music app and only want to use the music app for google music beta, that it will constantly have the interface in the notification bar for controlling the music (even though it doesnt) and won't allow you to X it out?

I had to unfreeze the regular music app to allow me to get rid of it in the notification area. Very frustrating
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
Where is the add on to revert back to the old battery icon? Can't seem to find it.
[LG Thrill 4G] jgeezy24:
Hey man, I noticed with the new battery meter, when you are on the phone the icon shows up weird. I know you are a stickler for details. Not sure if you noticed that yet.
[LG Thrill 4G] aaaLT:
so do we flash the 'removed bloatware.zip'

after our first boot on the rom?

Thanks :)
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
It's not flashable. If you want any apps in there, just pull the apk out.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
v1.0.5 Changelog:

-Added an option to set screen timeout to never

-Removed Software Update from "Settings > About this phone" since we no longer have the device management client service (Requires a fresh install or factory reset to take effect)

-Themed the in-call status bar to fix a visual inconsistency and make it more readable

-Updated addons with the latest changes
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
just wanted to update onn this...don't have any reason to believe it is ROM related but it is definitely worth updating you guys on...the phone has now killed 3 sd cards, including a brand new one

Sadly I am taking the thrill back tomorrow

I really wanted things to work out with this phone. I may give another one a shot. We will see

edit...formatted the new card through CM and it seems to have resolved itself.

yay!!!
[LG Thrill 4G] WattB006:
Thanks for the ROM. Phone runs faster than ever.
[LG Thrill 4G] Gr8Danes:
Hay GTG, for some reason, I still have "Software Update" under settings after the updating to 1.0.5. Are you sure it got removed?
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Unfortunately it looks like a clean install will be required to get rid of the "Software Update" menu item.

Probably not worth doing a clean install just for that little cosmetic fix unless you have ocd, but the next time you feel the need to install clean you can rest assured it won't be there.

Hey gtg, fix your links, nubcakes. ;)

I was using google maps practically all day today with gps and agps on... and it was having an absolutely terrible time staying locked on to it... kept loosing signal with a clear sky... and it would get all jumbled not knowing which way I was going... very frustrating and got lost a few times lol... I full installed the 1.0.1 version I am running 1.0.3 and only used the update zip each time... anybody have this issue or know how to solve it... I would really rather hold off doing a full install just yet... I have so many games full paid on here...

[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Don't forget that waving your phone around helps it too Google maps relies on more than GPS for navigation gotta make sure that compass is calibrated. I was doing it wrong first time I did it found out best way is to draw the infinity symbol. And when you loop turn the phone over works great. Keeps Google maps from rerouting all the time at least for me.

I'm curious, since you're tweaking the software anyway, can you up the speed it takes for teh stock camera to actually shoot a pic. I'm using camera360 and it's cool and all that but if the stock camera can be made to click and shoot, that'd be that much better.

I mentioned it before but we get a lot of replies in this thread. Can you add a auto rotate to the pulldown notifications screen?

Couple of questions since we've talked about ripping apks out while doing this ROM. Any issues with removing the stock camera apk?
[LG Thrill 4G] tedjacob10:
1.04

Just curious what the market fix does on a full install. I have a lot of apks and don't feel like reinstalling so i did the update, not full. Am I missing out on anything important by just sticking with the update ?
[LG Thrill 4G] Aderas:
OK. Finally bit the bullet and tried my hand at adb and got that done and then flashed 1.0.5. Earlier i mentioned while i was running stock i did a speed test and got 6019 kbps down and 1554 kbps up.

Well i just ran some while i was outside and after 5 or so runs, the best down i got was 8659 and best up was 1600. not too shabby.

Thanks for all the great work GTG.
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Did you not find it hard to read while it was green? There is still a green phone icon in the notification bar to let you know you're in a call. On stock Android the notification bar remains black in calls as well.
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
I didn't notice the green phone icon. I almost exclusivesly use a headset, so I noticed the green bar right away. I haven't made a call after the update other than to see what changed. As long as there is some constant indication that the call is still going I'll be happy.

Great job on the ROM, loving it so far.

I did notice one issue, but I never tested this on the stock ROM, so I don't know if it never worked. I cannot change the VM number. I set up Google voice, and can select Google Voice, but I cannot get to the Settings to change what number is dialed when I press and hold the 1 in the dialer.

[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Call settings/voicemail setting/voicemail number doesnt get ya there?

Ah well I haven't messed with the new version yet, sorry, have you tried on earlier versions or stock? Is it just the new update?
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
Opens fine for me. Clean install of v1.0.5.
[LG Thrill 4G] Gr8Danes:
Doesn't work for me either.......guess that's why its always better to do a clean install.
[LG Thrill 4G] CEaton:
I have the same problem, stock and with Thriller, not rom related.

I just ended up having to set up google voice manually.
[LG Thrill 4G] jgeezy24:
I noticed I can't click it either when I use Google Voice as my default voicemail. Carrier Voicemail works fine. 1.0.5
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Well if you want to change it just put it back on my carrier, change it to your google voice number, change it back to google voice. I just think that's the way it is when selecting google voice.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Finally got my Thrill and so I installed Thriller.

Rom looks fine but there are a few things I'd like modified/added. Is it possible to add overscroll? Also, could you theme the wifi/signal indicator and power control widget to match the blue color of the Battery Mod (which looks awesome btw)? Another thing I'd like would be the names of the icons from the notification bar (sound/wifi/gps, etc). And finally, could you add the option to flash stock icons? I had a SGS2 so I don't really want to see those icons again, lol. Oh and having the option to boot into recovery from the Power Menu would be convenient as well.

That is all, for now. :)
[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
Also, can you add the option to use the 3D button as a camera button?
[LG Thrill 4G] tedjacob10:
what would the market fix do for me if I were to install the full 1.05? Thanks, great rom!
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
That's what I ended up doing. On my captivate that option worked. I even tried a fresh flash of the full 1.0.5, I had installed the 1.0.4 and did the update. A fresh install did not make a difference.

+1 on the overscroll glow, but I'm pretty sure that will require GB.

On the Captivate there was a way to remove certain icons from the notification bar, like alarm, clock, etc. It was done by modifying the services.jar file, but I never could figure out how to do it on my own. Would love to see the alarm notification go away. I use my phone daily for an alarm, plus its in the lock screen.

What Market fix do you guys keep talking about? The Market was never broken, thus I have never released a fix for it :confused:
[LG Thrill 4G] emj1s:
I think they are asking about the market update in 1.0.4

No. The bounce overscroll is not in most Android phones. Only Samsung Android phones.

One at a time now. This is untested and I take no responsibility if you have to do the unbrick procedure if something goes wrong.

Flash with CWM.

[LG Thrill 4G] trentthompson:
Is the kernal overclocked or u just trying ur hand at a 1 g kernal
[LG Thrill 4G] gtg465x:
It's not overclocked. It's unsecured (meaning you can use adb root commands), it disables the Carrier IQ service, and it enables init.d script support among other things. Pretty basic. Just a start.

Anyone try it yet?
[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
