[LG Revolution] Spectre1206:
I used to get the vibe of death at least twice a day on Stock then when I went to GV it went to maybe 1 every other day. Now on BO I was so excited that I had gone over 10 days without one until randomly yesterday when I got two text at the same time it happened. I have my phone on vibrate so I don't have it going off at work. To me the vibe of death is a minor inconvenience just like the random reboots which I have had twice since the vibe of death and nothing before that. Could they be connected or just a coincidence?
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
I've having an issue where my phone just seems to generally slow down. The lock screen is choppy and it sometimes takes a few seconds to unlock, it's like it sits there thinking.

Nothing too serious, and I'm not even sure if I'd call it BO related.

Does anyone else find that we have like 1.3gb that we can install apps on but if you use more than like 200-250mbs the phone starts to slow down. I really wish this had better memory.
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
Idk if any of you use handcent or go sms but I found out if you have the vibrate set to anything but the stock medium length one, like handcent default one is two short quick ones, it will cause vibe of death to happen a lot.
[LG Revolution] Spectre1206:
Never used either of them. I recently turned it to vibrate all the time and am thinking that with turning it down to vibrate may cause some loop at random times where the phone doesn't think and tries to vibrate twice at the same time. It must be confused. :confused:
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
You only get about 360MB for the OS & active apps. I'm running at 265MB right now with 97 MB free.

You probably have a poorly-written app that's not going to sleep properly. For instance, I found that with the "United Airlines" app caused my phone to run very sluggish. Once I uninstalled it, the phone ran smooth as silk again.
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
Anyone having data issues? All of a sudden I have to reboot, remove battery etc so that I may receive email.
[LG Revolution] :
Same here man. Seems to happen a lot after waking up the phone and unlocking...the phone just basically freezes for a while. I don't know if its an app causing this or what but I never had this prob with GV, only BO.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
My biggest problem right now is the screen always freezing then having to lock the phone and unlocking it to work again. Happens a good 3-5 times a day once it happened 12 times so I pretty much put my phone down because it got quite annoying.
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
I am getting this as well. Had 2 vib reboots today.

Also how do I keep apps and things from auto starting. I will kill something and it starts right back up?
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
You can use Gemini App Manager. make sure your phone is rooted.

Or you can use rom toolbox.

Either :).
[LG Revolution] Bob_Bobber0:
Anyone still have lingering verizon apps and other Amazon Kindle stuff, doesn't seem as cleaned out as Gingervolt was.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Did you wipe data? It is possible I missed something though, what do you have?
[LG Revolution] Bob_Bobber0:
Amazon Kindle, two forms of backup assistant, "Play Books" "Play Movies" "Play Music" "Play Store" what the hell are those things? My Verizon, Terminal Emulator, Tunewiki, Vcast Tones, Verizon Video,Wifi Tether (i think its stock version).

I dont recognize any of those from 1.3

Thanks MT for all the work!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Ya, you need to wipe data. They are not in broken out. They are more than likely lingering over from updates when on the stock rom.
[LG Revolution] Bob_Bobber0:
alright cool, will do. thanks!

EDIT*

That was it! thanks! Any ideas for next update? Also does anyone know which version of swype had the Blue theme (words, letters and color of swype) I hate the orange look!
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
Issue?

I wanted to install a NHL app so I can keep up with the games while I'm traveling this weekend and I get an error stating that the app is only for Verizon 4G customers and since my carrier is Broken Out Rom it won't open.

Not sure on this one.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
You're carrier isn't Broken Out all Mt did I'm pretty sure is just replace Verizon Wireless with Broken Out. Were you in a 4G zone at the time or no?
[LG Revolution] Big Cam:
I wiped data and the only Verizon thing in the Broken out Rom to my knowledge is the Backup Assistant.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

That's a good idea, I'll start digging around and see what's using what.
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
There's an app on the market - I think it;s called "Root Tool" or something. I remember it had a red icon. I saw it had a feature to change the carrier text. I never tried it and the app was about useless otherwise so I uninstalled it, but I was tempted to try and change the carrier to Sprint to see if I could get the cool NASCAR stuff.
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
No 4G in Wyoming yet, so the answer would be no.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
I posted this a few pages ago... I have 4G and the Verizon NHL app shows that my carrier is "Broken Out Rom" and I have to close it. It has nothing to do with being in a 4G zone. I'm sure it's checking text somewhere... If someone would tell me where to fix it, I would.

EDIT: Oh, and this DID work with GV 2.0, so it's something with Broken Out...
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
I have no experience with this procedure but a Google search for 'change carrier text' came up with some promising info. The first link outlines a manual process to change it from Verizon Wireless in an ERI file. Good luck if you choose to get adventurous.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I have noticed this as well. It happens only on BO for me. Stock rooted was smooth. It is annoying enough that I am considering switching back.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Yeah, I found that link, but I'd like to have someone like MT state that that is the proper method. I don't see an eri.xml in /data/ on the phone currently.

So, if MT is listening... Is that link the proper method to change the carrier text on the phone so we can use the Verizon NHL app?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
There's the carrier text replaced with "Verizon Wireless" You'll have to either decompile your current framework-res.apk and re-pack it with that file or either i or somebody else can upload a new framework-res.apk

Edit: Here's the new framework-res.apk

http://www.mediafire.com/?e6ksex31dmlyqt7

could somebody tell me if that works? Busy at the moment to try it on my phone
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
If you tell me what to do with it I'll give it a shot. I tried installing with Astro, but no luck
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
Thanks for another excellent rom mt!! Installed last night finally, and battery life is way better than before!! You definitely make my phone 100% more awesome!!

No issues with Bluetooth here, connected first try to my stereo. I can stream music and make calls no issue.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
If you tried installing it over your current framework-res.apk you wouldn't be able to that you'd have to delete your current framework-res.apk then install the new one and re-boot
[LG Revolution] Rescue Wagon:
I tried deleting the old one and uninstalling it with no luck. Also, tried to paste the new one into the folder and it says I don't have permissions to do so
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
Well on the lock screen it dies says Broken Out ROM, where on stock it says Verizon Wireless. So I'm willing to bet that whatever Mt. did to change that is causing the problem.

[LG Revolution] deli pastrami:
Anyone have trouble with a very shaky screen? It jitters very much wherever I touch the screen. Ie: moving widgets if I just hold them they shake very much with out my moving my finger
[LG Revolution] keynith:
I just get screen lockups. Gotta lock and unlock to fix it. Happens 15-20 times a day
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Thanks!!!!!!! This works. The only issue I had was it blew away my sync accounts and saved background...

So, will there be any issues using this one with Broken Out, or is all you did replace the text in MT's .apk?

Again, many thanks!!!!

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

I used ES File Explorer to copy the new one, rename the current one and paste the new one. It will throw a bunch of errors as soon as you rename the old one, but you'll be able to get the new one pasted, then reboot.

It all came back up, but I lost all my sync accounts (basically google and Verizon's contact backup) and my saved background, but those were easily set back up and I am now using the Verizon NHL Gamecenter app successfully with Broken Out.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
Mt, no pressure because your work has already improved this phone ten fold, but if you're able to overclock this rom it's going to be downright nasty. Every time I think I want an upgrade, you come along and make it pointless to get one. I never thought I'd be getting such solid performance and battery life from this phone
[LG Revolution] billney:
I used ROM toolbox to bump the CPU min up to 245 and set on boot. Smoothed it out for me.
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
+1 from me on that.

My phone was getting so bad, I was tempted to go back to my Ally!!!

Granted, the zv8 update helped a lot, but BO was the icing on the cake - and the "ICS Responsiveness" hack was the milk to wash it down with.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I used the BO framework-res.apk and just renamed the text back to Verizon Wireless so it's fully compatible

Also, if it says you don't have permission when trying to delete or copy a new one you have to mount a r/w instead r/o
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I'll give that a try right now.

::::EDIT::::

Bumped the min to 386 and it seems to be a lot smoother. Thanks for the tip.
[LG Revolution] :
Yeah I did that back in the early days of the ZV8/BO update, unfortunately it didn't solve the prob for me. Guess it's hit or miss! I'm hoping a custom kernel from MT will fix the issue.
[LG Revolution] motodroidfreak:
Thanks for the hard work on this.

But oneslty its to muck work trying to get to stcock vz7 then update reroot the flash this rom for a okay phone..
[LG Revolution] :
While I agree it would be really nice and certainly easier to have a direct root process for ZV8, I was able to keep root through the upgrade process so easy...it amazes me how much trouble people have had with that, particularly with MTs AIO....
[LG Revolution] motodroidfreak:
Its not the rooting process it just nothing dramtic enough has changed were I need that update.. if zv8 were ics .. I would do it but well its still only gb ..

Im deff never gettin a lg phone again there is not enough popularity with it..

Only 1 real person doin all the work. Mt ... (again thanks for the work)
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Sadly, this is the main reason why I'm not getting an LG ever again but the work that mt does for us even though he has moved on and still continues to update us is greatly appreciated.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Alright boys and girls, here is a little overclocking and undervolting for ya!

http://db.tt/wRYwpwNF
[LG Revolution] n00bzilla:
Testing now. Thanks MT for all your hard work. I have no idea how to do any of it, but I'm sure it isn't easy. Donation coming your way.

EDIT: Works like a charm as always!
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Installed and testing.

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] :
This is awesome MT! Just go ahead and flash? No need to wipe cache or dalvik?

EDIT: So far so good man, very fast, very smooth! Just in time too, the lags and hangups were really starting to get to me!
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Just dl and flash. The zip mounts and wipes cache and dalvik.

My REVO is now broken, blitz'd, tweaked, supercharged, and thunder bolted. This is so f'ing awesome. Great work Mt.

--My REVO is Broken, tweaked, SC'd, and TB'd. Just awesome!
[LG Revolution] wslguy:
Running great so far. Much more responsive than stock kernel. What are the specs on this one?
[LG Revolution] capt730:
As always, nice work. Broken Out itself was fast and smooth, this is like icing on the cake.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
With this kernel, my phone is running hotter than it ever has. I had to take it out of my pocked... I was a little concerned it was going to get hot enough to burn.

Still testing, but I'm not sure that's a good sign. Is there a way to put the old kernel back without flashing back to V7?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I believe reflashing Broken Out 1.1 should replace the new kernel
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
I'm still going to give it a chance for a day or two before flashing back...

Also, since flashing the new kernel, my 4G network connection is unresponsive a lot.
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
Mt 2012
[LG Revolution] keynith:
Did you reflash with 4g enabled?
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
Thanks MT. Works great.
[LG Revolution] keynith:
New kernal is awesome. So snappy
[LG Revolution] Landocommando12:
I've tried 3 times to download this and it gets to 68.5 mb and just stops.
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
Sweet! Back to 1.9\1.0! We'll see how my battery likes it on Broken. :D
[LG Revolution] :
MT, been using the new kernel for several hours now, and let me tell you, my phone is running unbelievable man, thank you, sooooo much! This new kernel has 100% solved the lag/unresponsiveness/freezing issues I was having!
[LG Revolution] Obsidian_soul:
+ 1 great work MT
[LG Revolution] 47th_Ronin:
Thanks mt!

New kernel is sweet, I'll give it some time to settle in and then see how it does with kak and supercharging etc.

[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
I think it's on Verizon's end, I'm running a stock ROM and 4G has been spotty the past couple days...
[LG Revolution] JohnnyAn:
I've been having significantly slower 4g speeds since upgrading to zv8. I've been meaning to downgrade to zv7 again to see if speeds increase or it's just coincidence, but i have law school finals through the 8th and haven't had the time :-(

On another point, the kernal is awesome, MT! Everything has been smooth so far!
[LG Revolution] yankneck696:
Testing the new Kernel... ROM is pretty sweet, except for some minor lags... Hope this smooths them out...

Thanks soooooo much MT !!!
[LG Revolution] yankneck696:
The Kernel took out any lags & is super responsive.... A bit more battery usage, but it is still better than GV.... I'm sure it'll level out after a few days....

Again, THANK YOU !!!
[LG Revolution] Plumbert:
Just tested the new BK Kernel on BO 1.1.

Stock BO ROM have me about 20HR of Bat life (which is about 3x more than what i was getting on v7). Just ran BK all day with no-frills settings at 1.9 max, 112 Min, On Demand, Noop. This got me about 9HRs today.. Not Bad (based on my v7 ROM only getting about 7HR)!

Anybody have a "happy medium" preference set for clock:battery life ratio on BK 3?
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I am using the extended battery...with 1708 max and 368 min. Unplugged at 7 am (now 7pm), checked email and fb multiple times as well as xda today and I am at 66%.

*Edit* I haven't used my stock battery in a few days, but I can pop it in over the weekend and post.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
Damn, looks like I missed out :(
[LG Revolution] SoloWookie:
I had dumped BrokenVolt & went back to stock 8. I was having too many crashes, too much lag etc. I tried to work with it but still to many problems. Stock 8 was not the answer for me either, but a better alternative.

So far this release has been perfect. I elect to keep tweaking this mod.
[LG Revolution] bjordont:
It works great but the lag is getting unbearable. Its almost every other time I try to do something on the phone it lags to a standstill. It reminds me of Windows Vista...:p
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
It turns on, but I don't know if it connects as I don't use any bluetooth devices. Hopefully someone can report with more info soon!
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
Ok i totally missed the v8 update line and flash over GV 2.1 n thats explain why i dont have any signal.

What should I do next? Flash 2.1 again and then update to V8 first or i can update to v8 at this state if yes how?
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
Once again, great work MT! Quick turn around after the update and it flies.

Really like the status bar, something nice and different.
[LG Revolution] estesp:
Wow, hopped on here hoping to ask a Q about ZV8 and very pleasantly surprised to have something to flash that will be better than stock ZV8!

Now--here's what I originally came to ask as it ties directly to the *ahem* thread of large-font-size discussion here..

I have been on mt's stock rooted ZV7 for about a week now, patiently waiting for the magical window to pop up offering me ZV8. Any other revo owners for which the phone has never shown any sign of an update being available? I don't even think I needed to be on ZV7 to be "bothered" to update as lots of GV1.x folks were offered the update, even though it obviously can't update from there with CWM as recovery.

Obviously I can go through the pain of the .tot flash process given someone posted ZV8 already, but it stinks to not just let ZV8 come via normal methods. And yes, every day I dutifully force a software update check in Settings->About Phone.

And, yes, I'm Verizon with an active plan, data plan, 4G SIM card, etc. etc. Everything standard as far as I can tell with my account. Ideas? Thoughts? Would love to flash Broken Out but don't have ZV8!!

- Phil
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
I don't think that will work restore a nandroid that was made on zv7 and you will be fine if you don't have a nandroid shame on you! But your in luck grab the zv7 stock back up posted in the development section and follow those instructions.

MT, awesome work as always, install went flawlessly, running loopy smooth! Thanks so much!
[LG Revolution] capt730:
I have run into the same thing....it gets to activation and the process.android.phone keeps fc'ing. I am on rooted V8 and I followed everything exactly. Restored backup. Made sure everything was as it should and retried everything exactly and same result. I am redownloading the Rom to see if maybe it was just an issue with my download.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I did have the same thing force close on me one time but it was right after I did something strange so I ignored it since it didn't happen to me again. If it does it after the redownload try to get me a logcat and I will look into it. Thanks!
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
com.android.phone keeps fc'ing for me as well. How do I get a logcat? I know... I know... Search the forum!
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
MT, just to make sure I'm not crazy, the "must be on ZV8 before flashing " line wasn't on the OP at 6am ET this morning, was it?
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Will do. Won't be able til later.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
No it was changed about 6:10 lol.
[LG Revolution] twillet50:
Thanks. I'm not crazy!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
The all in one has a copy of adb in its files folder. Open the aio then open the files folder. Right click files in the address bar and copy link address. Open command prompt type cd then paste the address. After there type "adb logcat > logcat.txt" and make the phone act up. Then just email me the file (email is same as the donate email address in profile)
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Thanks. I can't do it right now, but I'll get you the logcat this evening if someone doesn't beat me to it. It's fc'ing constantly, though, so getting it to act up shouldn't be a problem ;)
[LG Revolution] :
MT, any reason you don't include the latest Flash or Google Maps with the ROM? Hard to imagine someone not wanting those included as part of their software package but I understand if you are trying to minimize download size or something? Just curious!
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
But, I did uncheck "Data enabled" under the "Mobile network settings" and it doesn't FC com.android.phone... Although, the mobile data is useless now, of course.

Just thought it might give you a clue until I can get the logcat done.

Oh, and right now, I'm in a place where I only receive 3G, although when I installed I was in a location where I could get 4G.
[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
Hope this isn't too much of a noob question but from the screen shots it looks like the ROM supports 5 home screens versus the 7 that come with the stock ROMs. Is that the case or am I missing something?

I'm asking only because I use all 7 of mine :)

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I'm going to give this a try in the next few days. I've been on stock (but rooted) ROMS since coming to this phone . . . and android. What's the best way to restore apps and data after flashing to a custom ROM from a stock one. Could I restore a backup I made with CWM prior to flashing? Should I look to something like titanium to back up apps and data? SHould I bite the bullet and do a clean install of all apps and data? Something I shouldn't be restoring? Thanks!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Flash out of laziness lol, and for some reason Google Maps being included would make the initial setup go through twice. It was annoying me so I left it out lol.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Got a possible fix uploading for fc. Will post link here when done uploading!
[LG Revolution] darthanubis:
What's this lag everyone keeps mentioning?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Where the phone will take forever to do anything. Trust me if you get it you'll know what we're talking about.
[LG Revolution] saj1jr:
So how much better is this ROM compared to Gingervolt, anyway?

My girlfriend has the Revolution. No offense to any of you, but I really pray to god that none of you ever waste your money/upgrade on an LG phone ever again. I've personally always had good quality phones (EVO, Epic 4G Touch) so when I saw the gf come home with this piece of crap, I knew it would be a disaster, and it has been.

The stock Gingerbread may be the most unappealing, ugliest interface I have ever witnessed.

Anyway, I finally went through the painful process of rooting her phone and installing Gingervolt. Before Gingervolt, she was unable to get more than 10 hours out of a full charge - I mean, her phone is constantly on the charger basically. This is why I'm interested in this ROM. Does it REALLY improve battery life or are you all just unaware of what GOOD battery life even is, because her phone is still a piece of **** with Gingervolt. Nothing but horrible battery life.

I finally decided to wipe everything and try flashing again - now things have gotten worse. Horrible lag and 5 to 10 random reboots per day, and yes, still bad battery life.

So before I go ahead and download the 300+mb file I need to get back to stock zv7, so I can then do the OTA update to zv8 or install zv8 if OTA doesn't work, IS IT REALLY WORTH ALL OF MY TIME OR IS IT JUST GOING TO BE ANOTHER HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT COMING TO THIS ROM?

Sorry for the rant.

And I'm even more sorry that you all own this phone. Seriously, stay away from LG products as far as phones go! They are horrible. Stick with HTC or Samsung if you want the best.

Any answers to my questions/random opinions are appreciated.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
It's defiantly worth upgrading the phone in my opinion. I have the stock battery and using the phone with only a little bit of use I managed to get over a day of battery life. With moderate use I can at times get 12-15 all depends but the battery life is much better than GV.
[LG Revolution] gumnaam.sur:
@Saj, the difference between gv and this rom, as far as battery life is concerned is day and night.

I see no reason why not to update.
[LG Revolution] Obsidian_soul:
