Sorry if I am being stupid on this, but...

I would like to jump into this new rom, but with all the different threads now, I must admit I am really confused. Every night now I receive the Software Update failed screen. I am on ZV7 running GingerVOlt 1.3 now.

Anyone kind enough to point me to the right thread to get to ZV8 and then to this rom after. I am lost reading the different threads now. I figured this would be the best thread to get the help. I have flashed many roms and such on this, nook colors, and my 3 Droid Eris phones, so I know how to do the stuff. I am just not seeing which one to go with first. :o

Also... I am not sure right now if my ADB is running at home or not. Formatted out my laptop a bit back and not sure if I have run it since or not. So anything that is flashable on the phone would be best for me at work.

I've had that problem on EVERY ROM EXCEPT BrokenOut.

This ROM is so awesome. 12 hours of light usage and I'm still at 87% battery! Plus my 4G speeds are still good at 20Mbps down and 11.5 Mbps up.

MT, I still have the init.d file in system to set CPU speed. I assume if I change it nothing will happen?
[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
My battery is worse since upgrading last night. I am at16% left after 9 hours. Somewhat light use. System is using 96% of battery. Not sure which things that are left to freeze. Any thoughts? I just l post another % in three last 2 mins.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Could try re-flashing, I had to reflash GV once because my battery was dropping 40% in 40 mins or so and once I reflashed it was fine.
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
Always give new roms and upgrades a few days to balance out
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
Not a demand, just a question!

MT, any plans to update blitzkrieg kernel for the broken out revo?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Yes, as soon as source is released.
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
Did I mention how awesome you are?

btw, 2 hours on battery and still at 100% is good, right?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
If you weren't getting this before it is.
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
Mine is the same as stock, maybe an hour difference, is this with very light use? Or maybe a batter saving app?

I usually just assume I get bad batt life because I work in a hospital and lose any service most of the day.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Why not just turn off data then?
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
I would call it light use. I'm using broken out rom with no further tweaks, but I do have the extended battery...4g is on, no wifi. I have never had it go more than 1 hour on battery before it would start going down. I have 3 accounts set to push for email updates, gps on, etc, but other than that light data usage ( a little facebook, but not much else during that time frame, and after 2 hours still shows 100 percent.)
[LG Revolution] darthanubis:
Great ROM. When do we get rid of this clock in the notification area, please?
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
Just out of curiousity how long did it take LG to release the kernel source last time they updated it?

I'm loving the rom but damn I miss that blitzkreig kernel! :)
[LG Revolution] drt054:
No idea why or how but I experienced a "Sleep of Death" tonight. I could not come out of it, I had to pull the battery and reboot but then each time I locked or went to sleep afterwards I was able to wake it up again and resume. Anybody else? Will keep a watch on this...
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
It's the same thing just moved over not that bad I don't even notice it anymore.
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
I put it on air plane mode when I think about it, but I have an extra battery than I always have charged to 100% the night before cause when using the air plane mode I play a lot of games on it so it still drains quite a bit.
[LG Revolution] cbrebel:
I have had this twice now. Also right before that it gets really sluggish for me. I have very few apps installed. Tb and ROM toolbox basically. Besides tapatalk.......I also reflashed brokenout 1.1....hasn't done it since reflash tho

[LG Revolution] smitty_52:
Did both re-flashed and gave it a bit. On battery for 10 hours now and still have 70% left. Thanks for the advise.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
You could look at the apps that startup themselves and eliminate them so when you kill apps they don't just restart
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
glad its going good for you, i too am now on brokenout and going to see how it works. i had a lot of problems and no time to wait to install everything needed for all the files and everything. so got everything ready and installed a day ago and finished with the rest of the steps today...so far i love it. thanks mt
[LG Revolution] dastaak:
I had same issue and it was freezing and sometimes i had to take the battery out so i reflash but this time i wipe data and since then it is working great...

Not Ringing Fix

This is not specific to Broken Out, but my phone was not ringing for incoming calls despite checking volume settings, turning off google voice, removing call forwarding, trying different ringtones, and checking settings for individual contacts.

Turns out the fix was Settings--> Sound--> uncheck ERI sound (Enhanced Roaming Indication)
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
Holy hell i cant believe the battery life on this thing. Damn i cant post the photo but 10 hrs 31 mins and still at 61 percent...nice!
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
I don't know if the battery life makes me more happy or angry.... LG could have done this with a software update at the very start.... Of course though, I am happy with it now
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Are these battery improvements from zv8 or broken out?
[LG Revolution] jimmyhawk:
A mix of both, people were getting great battery life on zv8 alone. And with brokenout rom a lot of the bloatware that was on stock is gone so that helped out as well. Great job again. Mtm
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
I have forgotten what to install on a Windows PC to be able to run the bat file. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
So much for that awesome battery life, just had a random reboot ... Went from %50 to %13, wtf.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Restart again. Maybe it's just a glitch. That used to happen on my old droid
[LG Revolution] sleepycarl5150:
Random reboot, and when it was done loafing everything I lost 10% battery life and the top was left completely black. Reboot fixed everything except the battery drop loss.

Whenever you see battery loss like that. turn the phone off, take the battery out, wait a few minutes, put the battery back in and turn on. you'll see the battery percent back to what it should be.

I can attest for the battery improvement. I unplugged at ten and have been texting all day and my battery is at 81%

Yup.
[LG Revolution] dirkomatic:
Had the vibrate/reboot twice in the past two days. Haven't reflashed yet, but both times it was in areas of sketchy service.
[LG Revolution] nick413:
Thanks for the continued work mtmichaelson, one problem with this one (and iirc GingerVolt as well): whenever I choose Attach->"Capture picture" from Messaging, the entire interface suffers from pretty severe input and display lag. Most noticably, the old-school CRT shutoff simulation is delayed.

Also: I think this has already been mentioned in this thread but this ROM needs lowest allowable CPU clock speed set to something above ~200MHz.

MT, is there anyway to get the screenshot to save as jpeg as opposed to png when you take a screenshot when you long press the power button and use the screen shot option?

Had to play with it and find ones that worked. The first one I installed asked me to install additional images.

[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
3 days of battery life (light usage is my norm, and i have the extended battery) with no random reboots or sod. Did have a pretty serious wake lock that I need to isolate (according to the battery stats, the phone was awake solid for almost 48 of the 72 hours, even though the phone actually only got used sporadically)

Once I track down which apps are keeping the phone awake, I think the battery life is good enough I could probably go back to the stock battery if I wanted to...

Anyone else having a problem with bluetooth? Whenever I turn on bluetooth my phone slow down to the point I can't use it. Once I turn it back off and pull the battery it is fine. Any solutions? I've tried wiping data and re flashing the rom but no luck. Do I have to go back to ZV7 and start all over again?

[LG Revolution] :
anyone else getting pretty frequent sluggish performance from their Revos since flashing Broken Out ROM? I am to the point where the phone basically freezes. Ive also tried installing ROM Toolbox and upping the min cpu freq to 368 or whatever and that doesn't seem to work either. I have also tried clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting, and reflashing the ROM. Nothing is fixing the issue. Only thing left to do is a full wipe and I would really rather not do that....help!

Now since this I have a lot of hangs and force closes when I am not even stressing out the phone like I used to. I think it's got to do with the kernel which we were spoiled with but god damn I am annoyed with it many times during the day.

Imagine stock zv8. This thing sucks!

The stock V8 was sluggish for me. It kept vibro-rebooting, screen-hangs and just generally sucked on my phone. The BrokenOut 1.1 ROM has been smooth as silk for me.

Swype has no uninstall in Settings Applications Management. Would renaming /system/apps/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk to .bak do the same? I use SwiftKey X so Swype is unnecessary.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
If you use Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall Swype through the App Manager.
[LG Revolution] :
either way should work I believe. You can't uninstall Swype through the normal channel because it comes with Broken Out ROM as a "system app"

Been running fine for me except for a few issues:

- rebooted the phone yesterday and noticed the battery drop by like 30%. Rebooting again did not resolve. Pulling battery and putting it back after a few sec did.

-I bumped the min CPU to 245 as I was getting a bit of lag. All was working fine until today. Had 1 vibe of death reboot while tethering off the phone.

-any way to move the clock from center?

I look forward to future updates.

Anyone else getting vibe of deaths? I get 1 or 2 a day. I am going to try to disable any vibration completely as I recall people saying for GingerVolt that it was related to the phone vibrating when the screen was off or at low CPU voltages.

Thats odd. I was getting the vibe thing on GV. None so far on BO.

I tried raising voltage, turning off all vibes and heps which helps but does not cure.

[LG Revolution] stackrat:
I was getting 2-4 vibe of deaths a day on the stock V8. I've had exactly zero on BrokenOut.

The only trouble I've had with BrokenOut was about a week ago, it shut off on me three times, all when on the charger. On one event, I caught a brief glimpse of a message about the battery being too hot. It didn't feel hot to me, though and it hasn't happened since.

Lately, I have been getting screen freezes, but only on certain apps (the XDA app being one of them, ironically) and nowhere near what I was getting on stock. Knock on wood, it hasn't happened in the past few days. Maybe because I switched to Tapatalk.
