For those of you wanting to remove blitzkrieg without the gymnastics of returning to stock, etc., I attempted the procedure of flashing the stock kernel on top of this ROM to find out SU was screwed up. I went back to my backup to regain root, went into the superuser application, under settings, selected "survive ota," reinstalled stock kernel, and rebooted. Upon first boot, the screen went black for a long time. Pressing volume down may have fixed this issue (phone vibrated, then I got the standard lockscreen)? Either way, this problem did not persist through second reboot after that. (as an aside, I have superusersu installed as well).

If I recall correctly, losing root was common when changing kernels. This process worked for me, but as usual, YMMV. Always do backups first.

I went back to stock kernel in the hopes that some of the lockups and the radio quirks will subside. Only time will tell. So far, so good.
[LG Revolution] :
Yeah losing root seems common now when changing anything, I always just run the one step LG Root AIO to get root back.

I definitely recommend zv9, BO 2.0.1, and stock kernel. Not sure why but the lag on blitzkrieg is just awful so I went back to stock kernel which is very fast and peppy.

Just an fyi, the first reboot after flashing the stock kernel takes a long time, a loooooonnggg time with just a blank screen but just have faith, it will work!
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Seems to be the magical combination

As far as reliability is concerned. I believe I have found the source of VOD as well. I wonder what the learning curve is for packaging a ROM, as I don't have a tremendous amount of time on my hands, but I've been in the game for a long time now on various levels.

I'd like to go through the process of perfecting this device, as it seems to me, I'm going to be stuck with it for a while.

MT, do you still exist over here?
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
You might want to check with Verizon. They are letting me renew at the end of January. I should not be eligible until June.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I haven't had a replacement yet, but wouldn't mind getting out of this phone. I am starting to have numerous screen freezes, stock or BO.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Renewing means the end of your unlimited contract, however... right?
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I stopped by a VZW store a couple weeks ago. The rep said they add a line with a new subsidized price smartphone for like $10 a month. I still didn't grasp how the original phone's unlimited would carry on to the new one. He assured me they're doing this often, successfully keeping the unlimited plan. If it was as easy as taking our Revo SIM and putting it into a new phone, I can understand that. But with a phone like the GS3 having a micro SIM...
[LG Revolution] thrasherht:
To switch all you have to do is tell them you want to switch and that you need the new sim card. My sister did that once, and my mom just did it going from a droid charge to a gnex.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
you can log into myverizon and activate phones and tabs. Just pick the one you want to change and follow the instructions. You don't need to call or visit a store.

Major, just out of curiosity, what do you think the cause of the vod is? I think it's the kernel voltage. Might be a little too low. IDK. I'm working on a kernel to test. Just trying to get past the compiling errors.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Actually, the VOD is related to the audio drivers and DSP. I have confirmed this (I believe). After changing them out, I went from not being able to use vibrate at all, to using it constantly and never getting a VOD.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
With what did you swap? Did you swap out the drivers?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Beats Audio - seemed to do the trick.

This + stock kernel seems to have stabilized this phone leaps and bounds.

I've had no luck contacting MT, but I'm working towards getting the DSIXDA's kitchen going. Unfortunately, I haven't even made it past the Cygwin downloads. I tried yesterday and after four hours, I had to leave work, so I had to cancel out of the process. I'm back at it again.

No guarantees from me as I'm a single dad with not a lot of time on his hands, but I think the Revolution needs a revival for those of us that are left behind.
[LG Revolution] dadecamp:
I very rarely get VoD anymore. Running BO 2.1 and stock kernel, 386MHz min, ondemand. But what I do get quite a lot is screen freeze, almost always while scrolling the page. Not a real big issue, just have to touch the on/off switch twice and everything is back to normal.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Haven't had a freeze since the modifications, but I don't use my phone enough for those purposes... I'll start playing around with it and see if I can do it.

Yeah, that's one of the annoyances, but the thing that was driving me to just go out and pick up a second hand phone was the VOD and the completely whacked out radio (losing connection entirely A LOT). Both of those seem to have subsided.

If I can stabilize this phone, I may save myself some money over the holidays.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I too have had numerous screen freezes. I am going to backup my phone and flash the stock kernel and see what that does for me. Right now, I am running BO 2.0.1 with ICS tweaks.
[LG Revolution] :
Yeah stock kernel is by far the best option. almost no lag. Very peppy compared to BK unfortunately.
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
Many thanks for this. My Dad still has his Revo and it's been giving him a lot of trouble, so I jumped on here to see if this place was still alive and see what I could do to fix up my old Revo to give to him. Glad there's still some of you guys kicking around...I felt bad when I left for the Razr...honest. :angel:

I'm no dev, but I know my way around a phone/computer and if there's anything to be done for the good of the order, count me in...Test-flashing a mod, troubleshooting, or whatever...just send me an email/pm. I have a Revo laying about that I can experiment with (and/or I may potentially be able to donate it to a potential future dev in need?)

EDIT: lol @ my hilariously outdated signature. Forgot how long it's been since I frequented these boards.
[LG Revolution] :
Hey guys (whoever is left in this abandoned forum) does anyone else have data connectivity issues with this ROM? I have to reboot a couple times a day to get data connectivity back as it just randomly disappears....a reboot fixes it every time...
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Even though I just upgraded, I never had that issue. Just the screen freezes that got eventually got to the point that the phone froze and a battery pull was necessary. I tot'd v9 back to stock to see if it would help and when it froze again (and again after several tot's to factory) it was time to call Big Red and upgrade. My upgrade was for 5/5 but after explaining I had done several resets, the lady helped me upgrade without any hesitance.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
No data issue for me either. A coworker swears by Network Signal Refresher on his non-Revo. You might give that a try. Faster than rebooting. The all CAPS description gives me the willies but it appears to have good ratings.
[LG Revolution] :
Thanks, I'll give that a try!
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I have that problem, switching airplane mode on and off causes it to reconnect on mine.

Now if I could just figure out why my power button no longer turns the screen off! Those screen freezes are horrible...
[LG Revolution] :
Yeah I have tried that and it doesn't work for me. The "Network Signal Refresher" app did seem to work however the one time I tried it....

Droid ringtone

I've run into a strange problem lately where my notification ringtone reverts to that god awful droid sound. even tried wiping and reflashing. guessing i have a misbehaving app, just not sure which. anyone know where the file is at so I can rename it etc? you'd have thought google would have made a mroe elegant ringtone...

[LG Revolution] donnyp1:
is the rom and patch in the op the most up to date? I got phone rooted and am installing now
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
This ROM is very old and has not been actively worked on in a very very long time. You have your choice of ROM's, this one, the ones that betatest modifies which are all experimental so they may or may not work, or you can get a freeze app and lock out the bloat yourself.

This ROM is based on ZV9 but the latest update is ZVB.
[LG Revolution] betatest3:
Hey MT are you gonna continue working on BrokenOut again?
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
****. I must be one lucky SOB.

I flashed BrokenOut1.1 and I'm pretty sure it worked.

I downloaded ROM Toolbox and it successfully received superuser access, plus I have the superuser app icon in my app drawer.
[LG Revolution] wheelern:
Whoa same here! Def didn't have Superuser before flashing. And Root Checker verifies root as well. Man, must be ghosts in the phone or something.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
Oh, the centered clock and centered clear button have to go.

If you download a bunch of apps or have a bunch of notifications the clear button is not visible unless you scroll down.

Plus the clock gets overwritten by notifications or anything in the app drawer that extend that far over.

otherwise, I know it's a work in progress. I look forward to updates when you have time.
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
I think I'm sticking with GV 2.0 for a while. It works just fine. Too many horror stories here.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
It has a few steps involved, but it wasn't too bad. I think their update is just a *****.

I have the stock ZV7 zip that MT made a while ago, I wiped data, installed that, then in the old All in One click tool, I choose unroot.

Then I used the new All in One tool, choose prepare for update, then I unplugged and did the OTA update, then I plugged back in and did the re-root on ZV8.

Although it didn't leave me with root access, it left me with CWM, so I booted to revovery, and installed Broken Out and I'm golden, with root now. :D
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
So how is Broken Out running? Any big differences to GV 2.0?
[LG Revolution] brad08stanggt:
I am flashing tonight.

How is everyone doing with battery life?
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
I have'nt had it long enough, but so far it's similar to GingerVolt, but very smooth.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
I personally am loving the center clock and notification bar. it feels unique and more like I flashed a new ROM. Just my two cents
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
Followed steps in aio and I'm on zv8 now and I have the superhero icon but can't seem to get root access on any apps. Cachemate and titanium backup won't get permissions. Should I reboot to recovery to see if I have cwm and then flash breakout if I have cwm . I see a few people have done this and succeeded but they didn't have superhero before. Just asking. Thanks
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
I'm mostly interested in better battery life. And I want that damn circular battery icon :) My old eyes can't read the one in GV.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
That's what I did and it worked for me, and I know I didn't have root before flashing Breakout because ROM toolbox told me so, and I did not have the superuser app, but I did after flashing the ROM.

Like MT said, the worst that happens is you do a hard reset.
[LG Revolution] MIKEOD5785:
No problems with battery life whatsoever, and I am a battery freak. If this rom is burning battery, you're gonna hear about it, but so far absolutely zero difference versus the OTA updated V8.

I am impressed.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I'm currently at 39% battery with almost 14 hours of battery life when normally on GV I'd be at like 10-20. So I'll probably get 18 hours of battery life on stock battery maybe even more.
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
Nope didn't work, cwm never took. Will try again later.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
Damn, sorry man.
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
Thanks again for the great ROM MT.

One question I'm assuming flashing to 1.1 directly and skipping 1.0 is ok. The reason I ask is my phone seems slower then when I was on GV2.0

Thanks again

Edit: Just tried to install Flash Player and I get the following error: "Adobe Flash Player 11" could not be downloaded due to an error.(923)
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to be on stock Zv7, then allow the OTA from VZW to ZV8, then use this sweet rom to root your phone with ZV8. I have been waiting for this. MT is a stud.
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
You root before installing the ROM with Mt's V8 root tool
[LG Revolution] capt730:
No overclocking yet on this ROM. MT is waiting on kernel source if I read correctly somewhere else in these forums.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Yes, but from what I've read in the irc I believe some people are attempting a custom kernel until the actual kernel is released.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Not a big deal but antutu doesn't make it through a complete test.. 3x and on performance and rebooted. Not a big deal.. just wondering if happened to anyone else?

Quadrant got 1682.. not bad for single core

Sent from my broken down LG Revolution : D
[LG Revolution] MIKEOD5785:
One experience I had yesterday was the 4g network going out in my area....the result with this current rom was that instead of jumping back into the 3g mode....instead it would sit with no 4g and just the signal bars....not giving me an internet connection unless I manually selected cdma only mode and rebooted. Then 3g was fine, tested it about 15 times, same result.

Test procedure:

1. Select LTE/CDMA mode and reboot=no 4g no 3g

2. Select CDMA mode and reboot=3g working fine.

3. Select LTE/CDMA mode and reboot=no 4g and no 3g

4. Select CDMA mode and reboot=3g working fine.

Test repeated 15 times with same results.

Not complaining, just bringing the matter to your attention MT.

One thing I love about the base V8 is when in 4g, if you lose 4g and its searching, your battery is not burnt up in an hour. Good job on the rom.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
That's interesting. I drop into 3G from 4G daily when I'm in a spot that doesn't have 4G... I don't have any issues with the phone not detecting the 3G.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
sweet. this rom is pretty fast at stock, oc'ing would be like icing on the cake.
[LG Revolution] MIKEOD5785:
I know, It was strange, the phones on the charger right now, hopefully its okay today, might have been an issue with the network
[LG Revolution] sirblacknite:
I put on a pattern lock, and get really poor performance when unlocking it, like the patter lags behind what i swiped by up to 5 seconds. it does actually follow it and unlock, but i haven't figured out what is causing it. it doesn't seem to matter if im in an application or on the home screen.
[LG Revolution] MIKEOD5785:
Problem solved, had to have been the network, 4g back up and running without issues
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
try bumping the min cpu from 122 to 245, it comes with the min at 122. I had the same problem, but the stock kernel speed is 245 min so try that.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I had the same prob til I adjusted like Revo said.
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
Anyone else experiencing screen freezes? I didn't on stock zv8 but am with this
[LG Revolution] :
I have been on BrokenOut 1.1 for about 16 hours now. No issues of any kind.

Personally, I really like the centered clock and clear button but I know everyone's aesthetic preferences are different.

Great work, as usual, MT!
[LG Revolution] flaminfury:
Thats my only problem .. i get no response on the screen randomly .. but thankfully i havnt had any random reboots
[LG Revolution] :
yeah the screen still freezes on occasion as it always has....otherwise running great with great battery life as well
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Wow the screenshots look amazing! Are there plans for a flashable Broken Out ROM from coming from ZV7? Or should we just go ahead and do the ZV8 update with AIO? If you're planning a GV ZV7 to BO ZV8 jump flash, I'll wait.
[LG Revolution] flaminfury:
U have to go to stock unrooted zv7 .. or atleast thats the only way i got it ... then update ur phone threw the settings and then root zv8 and then flash this rom
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Oh yeah I know. I read the directions, but I was wondering if there were plans for a zv7 to zv8 gv to bo jump. If there is, I'm not gonna go thru the trouble of updating and re-rooting. I've never messed with a .bat file so I don't even know what it entails. Plus I'm on a Mac so, from experience sometimes Mac users are SOL when working with Androids
[LG Revolution] :
The ROM only includes updated files, not every file required to have a ZV8 system, so no you would pretty much always have to upgrade first. Even if a Stock Rooted ZV8 were released you would still need to do the OTA upgrade first as even that doesn't include every file required for a ZV8 system, only the file needed to go BACK to stock ZV8....hope that helps.
[LG Revolution] flaminfury:
O ok lol and ya i want a mac but alot of things i do dont have mac instructions XD hha
[LG Revolution] 47th_Ronin:
Only been on it for about 10 hours but this ROM is smooth and stable.

Thanks MT!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Is this method Mac friendly?
[LG Revolution] d9n30:
Yea it works for me on 1.1
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
now do i HAVE to flash over 1.0? or can i just flash 1.1? I just wiped my whole /system through CWM.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
1.1 alone is fine
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
Any news on wifi tether working with this?
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:

[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
Battery life is amazing!!!

I have the extended battery first off.

I watch Netflix/Hulu for an hour every Monday and Wednesday when I donate plasma, I'm always on 4G.

On Monday while on GingerVolt 2.0, I went from 100% to 78% for an hour of Netflix.

Today I went from 100% to 90% for an hour of Netflix.

I'm stunned, I couldn't believe it when my video ended, the battery indicator was at 90.:D
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
So, I'm loving the ROM thus far, but I don't seem to have speakerphone using Skype. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
I'd really like to know before I start..
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
So far, no. But hopefully can find a way soon
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Are there any problems with this currently?

I am having screen issues with this ROM. Sometimes its delayed response on unlocking and others the screen won't wake up. Button lights at bottom come on but not screen.. Brand new replacement revo here..something I miss or bad ROM install?
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
These have ALWAYS been issues with this phone. When the screen is unresponsive, press the power button to turn the screen off and then again to turn it back on. When the haptic buttons aren't lit up, put it on the charger to fix.
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
That's weird, I've never had that problem until BrokenOut, although it's not big deal.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

Just because you get mad doesn't mean the person you're mad at wasn't right. I'd read the thread again.
[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
This is not the same issue as your assuming the phone won't wake up. Power button does nothing have to pull battery ..the delay in swiping is new for me as well zv8 worked fine except for screen freeze.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Sorry. From your description it sounded like the common issues. I apologize if that's not the case.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The issue I'm having now is one where it will randomly lock up on certain normal pages (non-OpenGL). I used to get the lockups on only the lock screen, and it used to happen all the time.

So ultimately, I am extremely happy that it no longer locks up on my lock screen, and that gaming performance is above what I have ever experienced on this phone (no stutters, etc). That means I'm not complaining, just giving my observations.

If that went away, and the weird error messages about blocking URLs that happens intermittently went away, there would be NOTHING to complain about with this phone (admittedly, I haven't tried HDMI to date).

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Hey, hey, now peeps... Revo has been known for having the calmest and most polite ecosphere on XDA. We should try to keep it that way :D

Oh yeah, and I think OCing causes more problems than it solves :eek:

"I can get a clock score of 5000terahertz"

"Yeah, but does it play games?"

"Well, in between the stuttering, slow downs, and lockups every half second, I get 130 fps"

"...."

Its all good. I just assume I am the only one with the issue since I haven't seen another person state this problem . I will try to reflash broken rom

Great ROM, Thanks!

Is there any way I can put the stock unlock screen with txt and/or email preview back on? Is it just an app or is it deeper in the phone? I already added the weather back on as I really like it, but just want to tweek my Revo to put the stock unlock screen back on.
[LG Revolution] JohnnyAn:
Anyone else having significantly lower 4g speeds? I used to average 10mbps+, but haven't even scored 4mbps down since updating to zv8 two days ago. I installed this rom immediately after updating, so i dont know if i have a bad install, zv8 lowers 4g speeds, the rom is messing with things, or I've just had bad luck since updating and can't get a good signal. Anyone else having issues?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I noticed the speed decrease, but I thought it was just me. I was getting 6-7Mbps, and now I'm averaging 4. I suspect it's a radio thing?
