[LG Revolution] :
I hate to say it but my battery life is terrible on this Rom/kernel. What are people with acceptable battery life doing?

Fyi, I am in a 4g area, which I think is part of the problem.
[LG Revolution] TheRandom1:
I went back to stock. Battery life is a bit better and there are no VODs or screen freezes.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I'm on BO v2.0 with stock kernel. Most of my day is in low reception areas so I think the radio boosts to be heard. The extended battery is what keeps me worry-free.
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
I am running BO 1.1 and the stock kernel. I get amazing battery life. Like I am talking 10 hours on my extended battery with my tether running and using it. If I am on my regular battery without the tether I am looking at 16hours on battery easily.

My extended battery will last me two days if I don't have the tether running.

When I got this kernel and rom combination and noticed my battery life being so good, I stopped updating at all.
[LG Revolution] :
Where did you guys get your extended battery? Seems like a lot of you have those?
[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
so to be sure, since im on gv2.0, i need to nandroid back to my stock backup (thank goodness i have that), upgrade to v8, then flash brokenout1.1?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
You'll also want to do this before the upgrade: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566729

Pay attention to the output of step 1 (in the batch file)... If stuff is failing all over the place (not the rmdirs, but the other stuff), then run it again when your phone reboots.

Edit: And make sure your stock backup is zv7... If not, grab the rooted stock from this dev forum.

[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
yeah, i went through that on my buddy's rooted stock rom revo already, that was less than exciting.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I have had the issue twice on 1.1 where when I ended a phone call and it took about 15 seconds before it actually ended. The screen was non responsive until it ended.
[LG Revolution] ScallywagginIT:
I know that Google Voice is a great alternative to Visual Voice Mail, but can anyone tell me if it's possible to get VVM installed on this ROM? I noticed that there is the Stock App Installer posted, but I was unsure if it included vvm.apk and/or if it will work on this ZV8 based ROM. Thanks in advance!
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
So far, I must say that 1.1 seems to be performing well for me. Battery life seems much improved over GV 2.0...
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
So is Broken Out basically the new GingerVolt? Or will we be getting a GingerVolt 2.1 later?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
It's the replacement. I have work on 4 phones now and find it easier to keep the same name on them lol.
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
So this works with the new ZV8 update ? Which means that someone figured out how to root the newest update. Anyone care to point me in the direction of a link that gives me instructions on how to root the newest ZV8 firmware ?

Sent using my rooted LG Revolution running GingerVolt 2.0
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
There's no known root for ZV8 at this time. People are downgrading to ZV7 (if they installed 8), and doing a pre-root preparation routine that maintains root once on ZV8.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1566729
[LG Revolution] billney:
Will it ever be possible to go straight from Gingervolt to this without the downgrades etc?
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
That link says 404 error page not found just to let you know. But I found the thread that gives you the instructions and the .bat file that does it for you. Which I am assuming is the one you were trying to link me to. Thanks for the help bro

Sent using my rooted LG Revolution running GingerVolt 2.0
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
No, the update requires the radio update, and we have no way of pulling the radio.
[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
so whats new with the new radio? also, can i get the stock calendar widget, or do i still need to use the revo app installer?
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
Thanks MT!!!

I'm still re-loading all my apps, but the ROM is working beautifully for me.

The only nit I have to pick is that I'm not a fan of the "Center Clock Mod". Any way of getting rid of it?
[LG Revolution] ScallywagginIT:
I agree in regards to the centered clock. It's not that bad, but it would be cool if there was a way to change it back to the stock position.

This ROM is incredibly faster compared to the stock ZV8. Thanks for everything you do MT!
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
So I went back down to stock ZV7, unrooted, then I did this thread Regain Root and CWM after ZV8 Step by step, and now that I've updated to the ZV8 ad I selected Root ZV8, I don't have superuser installed?

What happened?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Use the button combo to boot into recovery. Worst case would be you would factory reset. I think the update is doing funky things now. If you had super user before update and it's gone now, something happened.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
OK, so now that I'm in CWM recovery, can I just install the Brokenout.zip??? Better yet should I? Or do I need to do something else to get root back?

EDIT: You've vanished so I'm trying it, what's the worst that can happen?
[LG Revolution] wheelern:
I had your same situation - cwm but no su. I went ahead and flashed Broken Out, and everything is fine. Just still no superuser.
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
the internet. Seriously.

Normally I don't do this to people, but this is one of those things.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I got mine from Verizon when they had them on sale for $24.99. Amazon seems to have some.

I am on BO 2.0.1 with V6 Supercharger script running. I am using SetCPU and have my max/min @ 1708/576 with smoothass/sio. With moderate to heavy use and an average of 8-10 calls per day I will have about 30% remaining (unplugging at 7am and plugging in usually around midnight). With light use, I could easily go 2 or more days.
[LG Revolution] :
Hey ****, I obviously know that. I'm looking for a recommendation for a good site/provider w a good price.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Thanks dude, Verizon had nothing. Completely out of stock. I found one with a case for $20 delivered from some jamoke out of Hong Kong....fingers crossed....
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
You didn't say that. you simply asked where we got them. If you spend 3 seconds googling, you will see a mass load of places to get them.

I wasn't trying to be a ****, but you asked an incredibly simple question that could be answered without posting. Now asking about a recommend seller with a good price is a totally different question.

Please ask the question you want answered.
[LG Revolution] :
Are you retarded? That goes without saying.
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
You are the one that asked one question while expected the answer to a different question. Sorry that I showed you how to answer your own question.
[LG Revolution] TheRandom1:
And you're the one who knew what he was asking and chose to be a **** instead of simply answering it... so why are you still arguing about this?
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
I'm not. He asked where to get them, I answered that question.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Got mine at VZW online for $25. I saw them there a few months ago still so I was hoping they were, but I couldn't find them either. Not sure if you could call some local VZW stores and see if they have them, but it's doubtful.

The battery adds a bit more heft and bulk to the device but the humped battery cover provides a nice ridge for the phone to sit atop a finger behind.
[LG Revolution] sephkeene:
So it seems that development has really stalled huh?

:confused:
[LG Revolution] TheRandom1:
There haven't been any updates to the Revo at all from VZW or LG, so not much they can add other than fixing the VOD and screen freeze issues.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
mtmichaelson was really our sole developer and with his departure left a void. He was gracious enough to release Broken Out 2, long after he left the Revolution. It's possible we see something new if Verizon ever releases another update but given that most of this phone's users are likely hitting the two year mark now or in the next year easy, I am not holding my breath.

There is some paced development toward CM by one dev,maybe two, of a sister phone to the Revo. That would port over to us fairly easily, but I expect to not be using this phone by then. Just a guess.

I just have to figure out the best way to retain my unlimited data plan while keeping the rest of my family happy.
[LG Revolution] Spectre1206:
It's sad that we are so bored with nothing going on for the Revo that we are fighting over a simple question. My battery life is what I expect. 4g area where I live but I'm in a basement most of the day. I lose reception like crazy but still don't have to plug in till midnight. It's unplugged around 6am. When not at work constantly using and needs plug in around 11 at night. Usually at 20-30% when I charge it again.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Just a quick tip:

For anyone not using LGHome or ADW, open the loopy smoothness script in a text editor (I use rom tool box) and edit the script to point to the launcher of your choice. The script is found in the /etc/init.d folder. When editing the script, you need to point it to the actual process name of the launch you are using. the process name can be found by going to the /data/data folder. Look for a folder related to your launcher (ie, xperia home = com.sonyericsson.home). Just make the changes, save and reboot. You should notice a difference right away.:victory:

Enjoy.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
If you use adwex, you will need edit that to 'org.adwfreak.launcher'
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Trolololol...gotta get them when you can :)
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Does not let me save it... \: i tried editting it the line with the lge launcher to sony ericcson. but did not work. i tried adding a new line. didn't let me save

what's going on?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Remount system in r/w if you cannot save the file.

Also you add any app to the script. The esteem guys are adding keyboards and I added Facebook. flawless victory!
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
what renice- value did you put? What exactly is the renice value? :o
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Priority. Essentially the script sets a higher priority and therefore the system won't try to kill the app as much (prolly prevents killing depending on the nice level) and forces the system to allocate more resources to the app when it is in the foreground. It gives more focus to the apps listed in the script. As far as to what nice level to use, idk. Haven't got that far yet. Me and some of the esteem guys are playing around with it to see what happens. So far I have left the default values.
[LG Revolution] meabrams:
Was wondering if any one else was having issues with the phone apk fc every other time someone calls me... When it does it the phone service cycles from 3g to no service and loads back to 3(in about a min) and I can't see who it was that called me

Have tryed to wipe cache on apk....wiped both cache in cwm ran zipalin sclean from super charge v6... Running out of idea here....
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Have you tried to clear the app cache? If that doesn't work I would reflash BO, then redo your tweeks.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I had that issue after the most recent v6 supercharger update. I did a full wipe of my phone and then reinstalled BO 2.0.1 with ICS Tweaks and using ROM Toolbox for my cpu settings and memory manager. I will let it ride for a week to see if I get it and then I plan on using V6 supercharger again since it really helped with my phones responsiveness and battery life.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Pimp my ROM

Got a new tweak for everyone

Pimp my ROM Give thanks on the original post!!!!!!! Great work Androguide.fr.

VOD

Anybody find a fix for vibe of death? My phone seems to get worse, I have about 2 bad days a week where almost every phone call or message I get causes it to freeze in vibrate. I need to have my phone on Vibrate because I need to get messages and calls by I'm frequently in areas I cannot have my ringer on. Ahhhh!!! I hate stock ROM from this phone and love BO 2.0.1 if only it would work.

The screen freezes are also annoying but doesnt take 5 mins to reboot and fix.

Any advice would be great.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I have not had a VOD since flashing the stock kernel back in. I can do without overclocking. Screen freeze is occssional but much more bearable than VOD.

Edit: Here is the link to I.M.famous XMAN's stock kernel zip.

Edit x2: Beat ya :p
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Try using the stock kernel with bo.
[LG Revolution] The Kraken!:
I'm not sure how Android manages these resources, but for me, if I keep about 1 gb of internal storage free and don't set up a lot of apps that try to remain constantly running, my lagging, screen freezes, reboots, and vibes of death basically disappear. Ymmv, of course.
[LG Revolution] arcane spade:
Flashed stock kernel, lost root, re-rooted and within 5 minutes another vibe of death. I hate VOD.
[LG Revolution] :
The best way to avoid the VOD is to turn Vibrate OFF. That's what I did and I never get VOD.
[LG Revolution] arcane spade:
LOL, yeah. When I have vibrate off I do not get VOD. However, as stated before I find it a very important feature as I often need to receive notifications during meetings and other times when I need the ringer off. In fact, it has been years that I have just always kept my ringer off .
[LG Revolution] meabrams:
Has anyone else has the issue where it will not complete the external sd card media....

In the drop bar it says: External memory is preparing

Update: had to fully boot phone without sd card in then shut it put the sd back in and no more issues after that :)
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Seriously, even though I get a VOD once in a while. I'm still glad there's a ROM for this phone. Otherwise waiting for my upgrade would be even more excruciating. 1/28/13 can't come soon enough.
[LG Revolution] arcane spade:
Can you flash the Blitzkrieg kernel over stock ROM?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
in theory, yes. It should work but idk, don't have stock rom. I would make a back up first. besides, if anything goes wrong you can always flash the stock kernel (it was direct rip from a nandroid I had). BTW, if you're on stock rom, can i get the android.policy.jar file from the framework folder? Got another tweak I'm working on and I need the stock android.policy.jar file. Thanks if you can get it to me.
[LG Revolution] brad08stanggt:
Hey guys.

So my girl and I both have Revo's and at first BO 2.0.1 worked OK. But for the last few months it has been a nightmare. Screen freezes, VOD's, app crashes, random reboots and the most frustrating lag ever. Not to mention the absolutely terrible reception. I would lose service or data for 10 - 15 - 30 to 60 minutes at a time in places I know i had service. Even after rebooting it would still not regain service. Finally I said enough is enough and I tried to make our phones usable with 2 different approaches.

I did the following on my girls Revo:

- backed it up (CWM and Rom Tool Box)

- backed up the SD cards (internal and external) on my PC

- wipe data, cache, davlik cache from CWM

- erase SD card (external) from settings menu

- format internal memory from settings menu

- LGNPST flashed stock V9

- rooted stock V9

- debloated with Rom Tool Box

- restored/copied only necessary data back to phone.

She has been running for about 2 weeks on this absolutely trouble free and is very happy with her phone. No lag, no FC's, Reboots, no VOD's and the service/data reception VASTLY improved. It's not as fast as it was on BO, but its much, MUCH more stable. Battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY improved.

I did the same with some differences on my Revo:

- backed it up (CWM and Rom Tool Box)

- backed up the SD cards (internal and external) on my PC

- wipe data, cache, davlik cache from CWM

- erase SD card (external) from settings menu

- format internal memory from settings menu

- LGNPST flashed stock V9

- rooted stock V9

- flashed BO 2.0.1

- flashed Stock V9 Kernel

- restored/copied only necessary data back to phone.

I have been running like this for about 2 weeks and I could not be more satisfied. The phone improved in every area especially with the most frustrating lag and reception issues gone completely. No lag, no FC's, Reboots, no VOD's anymore either. Phone performance is better than stock V9, but not as fast and BO. Regardless though its much more stable and runs much better. Battery life remains about the same as on BO, maybe slightly better.

I highly recommend wiping all your phone data, starting from scratch with fresh V9, and running BO with the Stock V9 Kernel.

Now if I can only get the stock e-mail app to work now this will be perfect.

I hope this helps some of you.
[LG Revolution] mikegt11:
I still get this from time to time. I noticed that sometimes going into settings and unmount and mount the sd card will fix it. You may have to do it a couple of times.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
i don't get this, but since getting my phone years ago it occasionally thinks i've unlpugged the sd card until i reboot the phone. happens with every card i've tried (even with formatting etc). could just be faulty HW, mayeb big red will help me out (yeah right)
[LG Revolution] btroop:
I was experiencing a lot of random bugs that seemed to be popping up, as well as stability issues, lagging and frequent VOD's. I switched between the various Blitzkrieg kernels, tried supercharging, reflashing BO 2.0.1, but nothing was helping.

I went ahead and followed brad08stanggt plan, except that I did not reload any previous data, and the Revo is back in business. Like he said, its not as fast as BO on one of the custom kernels, but i haven't had a VOD for weeks and the battery life is greatly improved. Thanks for the stock V9 kernel, I.M.famous XMAN
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
no doubt, mane. Just to let ppl know, I'm working on a kernel project now. Just trying to add some governors and custom boot animation to the stock kernel. I'm running into some compiling errors but it's coming.

And on the email thing, I have never really used the lgemail app but for those who like the aosp email app (you know, the email icon that keeps fc'ing) I have that. Just let me know if anyone wants it. Works flawlessly except for a few icons in the menus (but that could be my theme, :D). I ripped it from the gs2.

Also, If anyone using a rooted stock rom with cwm installed, pls make a backup of the entire system and post it up somewhere so I can then take that and make a stock_rom.zip. That way, we wouldn't have to use the lg update tool unless you had a major issue. Let me know and I can also give my gmail addy if you don't want to post it. Thanks in advance.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
IM, I just v9 tot'd back to stock and made a backup after rooting and installing cwm. If you want that, I can upload it to my ubuntu one and pm you the link.

I also have the actual v9 tot file (not just the 3 parts) in my ubuntu one.

[LG Revolution] WangChung81:
I hate to do this, but after 103 pages...

I flashed B.O. 2.0 but it's still showing a SW version of ZV8. How do I get the ZV9 version installed on the phone? Thanks!
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
You get zv9 either by OTA while stock or use LGPNST to flash the ZV9 TOT. I vaguely recall if you don't do either of those, the phone will still display zv8. I also recall BO can't change that number but mtm included zv9's updates, so no worries.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Yes, you must ota from v8 to v9 or use the v9 tot option to get to v9. I posted the actual v9 tot above for you to use with LGNPST.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
If you flash BO2.0 over zv8, then yes you will have the v9 updates for the software, only. When using a tot, it updates everything (radio, software, boot, recovery, etc). Also when flashing a tot, you will need to root and install cwm again. It is known to work over v8, but MT recommends to use v9; for which it was built. But, your choice. if it works, it works. :D ;)

I personally have never gotten the v9 tot to flash. I flash v8 then ota.
[LG Revolution] WangChung81:
If I remember correctly, I wasn't able to get ZV9 to OTA on the phone because it's not registered on Vz's network. Is there any way to get it to OTA via WiFi?

The problem is it's my GF's phone, and it was registered as "lost/stolen" because it got buried in couch cushions for two months. While it hasn't affected the phone's operation, VZ won't allow the phone to be reregistered to their network since according to them it technically belongs to Asurion now. So getting it registered on VZs network won't work.

I'll try the TOT if there's no other option. Thanks!
[LG Revolution] yankneck696:
[OK, I havent played with my Revo in a while. So, I was having no Facebook on 3g & put this ROM in 2.0 + 2.01 patch. Now, I cannot get WIFI tether to function properly. It fires up, then I press to start, it just hangs in "WIFI tether is starting"... Is there a fix for this, as we are now in 3G land & waiting in the internet company to hook up the house? I did try switching the phone to CDMA only (3G) & tried Open Garden with the same results. My wife's stock REVO tethers just fine.

Also, we are going to get regular (Non smart) phones, as we really only used these for tethering. Should I just revert to stock?

Thank you to all who have made this phone better..

Also, if there is anyone still developing the REVO & might need an extra, I could send one to you...

Ed
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
WiFi Tether works for me, as of a couple days ago. The only thing I can suggest from experience is to allow Tether to complete its start/stop, otherwise that "working" dialog stays there. Perhaps try some other troubleshooting, like making sure you're on an uncontested WiFi channel. Maybe clear the phone's cache and dalvik from CWM. Shots in the dark. Or, make sure you have the latest version of Tether. Uninstall/reinstall...
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
I would recommend just going stock. If not you can try a full wipe, re flash bo2.0, and wipe again. what can it hurt? If that doesn't work, then flash a tot to put you back stock.

I'll pm you about the phone in a bit.
[LG Revolution] yankneck696:
Well, I guess it's back to stock for me.... I tried it all & no love.....

Ed
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Why not try to root and reflash after flashing a tot? I have had to flash a tot several times before to smooth things out. :confused: Just a thought.
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
The best results I have had with this phone have been with BO 1.1 with the stock kernel. I can't get facebook on my phone when I am on 3g, but everything else works. I can tether on 3g and it works great.

I also get amazing battery life. I am at 14 percent battery right now and I have been on battery for 1 day 9 hours, and that is the stock battery, not my extended.
