[LG Optimus Black] stormfreeze:
I'm watching development of this port for a while now. In general i got 2 questions:

First: Are there any enhancements for the sound planned? Even the beats audio mod wasn't really able to improve sound quality or sound level.

I really liked stock sound enhanced with beats audio but by now the ICS port is offering the worst sound to get on OB.

So maybe there is a way to include stock sound libs in ics?

And second I just wanna ask for a little update about the progress of development (whats already fixed, things making trouble etc.) ?

And maybe there'll be another nightly fixing a few problems? (:

you're doing a great job, devs!
[LG Optimus Black] Robertodipuccio:
Didnt wanna start a new thread or ask in the dev section so im asking here...could anybody explain me how to implement omr's 3g fix in the ROM? Id like to give it a try
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
If you dont know, better leave it, as it is and try to read into the basics, like cooking ;) Brew your own ROMs and make yourself familiar with the filesystem, dsixda s kitchen, then unpack some boot.img'es, open and read in them a bit, find all the lines, you see on omers thread, repack the kernel, build the ROM, sign it, flash it and so on... There is a noob way, of how to explain and I think you ll even find it around xda, but I wont explain it to you here, cause I think it is too risky, if you dont know, what you need to do.

To all the others, who are asking:

Oscar's OB was stolen, so he is out of business...At least for now...

I am busy with university and other private stuff (need to help my dad a lot,...)

Redy is working like a maniac, but I didnt even have the time, to connect to him, so idk, whats his latest improvements, but I think, they are not huge, cause otherwise he would have posted them already ;)

Marcel (flatzki) I dont know neither, but I think he also is busy in private life, afaik.

Diederik is also trying to help, but he needs to get more knowledge still, hope you dont mind me saying that dude :D

Then so to speak, there is noone left, to work on it.

So the progress is more or less 0.

I hope you guys also get, we all did this just for fun and at the beginning of my semester, I had a lot more free time, as the rest of us, so we could spend pretty much time on that project, but for now it is freezed.

Now please, dont spam after this post, so everyone who is asking the same question, about what's up the Development, can read this. Or link them to this post.

Let's see, how fast we all can work on this project again ;)
[LG Optimus Black] gusthy:
Okay then: I plan to do Omar's things (which is a good checklist of what to well, check when talking about this 3g issue), it doesn't seem to be so complicated, but it takes TIME. And this is my limitation too. But if I start to do this, I will have some questions, like "does OB's CWM require signing the ROM?", "what is the base address of boot.img? on OB?" and things like this.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Ok, ask whatever you want and i ll see, how much i know myself and answer your questions ;)
[LG Optimus Black] omr911:
I already explained and even made a thread about fixing...

Im not a dev, just an expert user...

I shared my full knowledge...whatever I knew

Take cm7 latest kernel and ramdisk including dependent drivers....

EGL etc etc to avoid getting bootloops

then take libril.so, libreference-ril.so & RILD only

dont go into depths of my thread 3G Fix...

Why CM7 kernel ?

I dont wanna go into depths too...

seems like CM7 kernel has correct network headers

only IT related guys or devs know about this better

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

You have to use a combination of

libril.so, libreference-ril.so & RILD

I mean compatible files with each other

after all its not a big issue but its time consuming

network is fine u just have wrong MODEM (system/bin/RILD)

when I used RILD from CM7 I lost a entire network on CM9....why ?

bcoz I also needed CM7 kernel, MODEM dont work with CM9 custom compiled kernel....

I have exams, Im working full time on C++ and JAVA

cant touch ICS...3 weeks
[LG Optimus Black] gusthy:
Yes, definitely this is what I want to do: replace the kernel in boot.img, and then add the rild. What I have to achieve is to make the whole stuff work with CM7 kernel, and then comes the RILD story.

And yes, it is not complicated but time-consuming.
[LG Optimus Black] zyfkurmom:
im experiencing random reboots,anyone with the same problem?
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
So, this guy at TI posted the new drivers for our device's procesor, but those are for the kernel 3.0, can those be used with our device?

reference http://e2e.ti.com/support/omap/f/849/t/166461.aspx
[LG Optimus Black] gusthy:
If we have to fall back to cm7 kernel, then no.

The problem is that if we use cm7 kernel, we will have problems with camera.

C'est la vie.
[LG Optimus Black] mariox26:
really no one here who can finish this job,is really good rom,i like so much this rom
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
The rom is not abandoned, devs are busy with their real lives.

FDN
[LG Optimus Black] a12tu120:
so basically you are thinking of dismissing developers? I just want to remind you that this is THEIR project, and they DO NOT are our employees or so, they did this because they wanted to, and we all get to enjoy it, but You need to be more patient, we are all at the expectation, but we have to show some respect and appreciation for their work!

What's Not work?? =(
[LG Optimus Black] Duarte777:
Camera, 2G/3G, GSM in some countrys, and the rom have FCs... but is very fast in general;)
[LG Optimus Black] Pump Huang:
especially,the setting's display or something(that I forget:p) when you touch it and it will reboot:p
[LG Optimus Black] eighty-four:
applications. but you don't need it in anyway, so just don't touch it.
[LG Optimus Black] tysovsky:
It was like that for me, but is stopped rebooting after some time.
[LG Optimus Black] mariox26:
i have no reboot with this rom,is awesome rom,but no radio,no 2g-3g network,no gps,no luck with tutorial from omr911,maybe i wrong something,and video black and white,camera not working,i think this is last hope with ics
[LG Optimus Black] tysovsky:
I don't need 2g and 3g anyway, but I would really like to see camera working. But AFAIK there is no working camera driver for our device.
[LG Optimus Black] Nikitozin:
I installed the rom and i was using it for 1 week, just perfect :D

But i can't get USB Debugging to Work, the first time i flashed it was okay, but i had some problems and i had to reinstall it, now USB Debugging doesn't seem to work, not even the icon appears at the top .

Help?
[LG Optimus Black] meddistar:
Anybody know how to fix vibration ? I realy need this thanks :)
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
Vibration will be fixed in next release it's a kernel mather and we work on it.

I DONT say when the new rom will comme . and dont ask for ETA .

Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] scamex:
Nothing yet. Passed 1 month and nothing ! Are you guys stiil work or ...

[LG Optimus Black] Antonnzr:
Is there any way to disable the CRT lock animation? I've had enough of it lol
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
It's a great rom yes.... but again we dont have camera drivers... and others so it's hard to make it work...
[LG Optimus Black] eighty-four:
got a BSOD today, while booting
[LG Optimus Black] adriantfw:
May you guys fix the FM radio in the next update?:)
[LG Optimus Black] meddistar:
Not included in cm yet
[LG Optimus Black] tyciuni:
I know it's only alpha, I know that GSM doesn't work in some countries, but for me became something strange:

I can call to someone without a problem, but when someone tries to call me, he gets the information that there is no such number!

(when installing the SIM card wasn't locked)

thank you in advance for your help
[LG Optimus Black] Antonnzr:
I'm currently experiencing an error where the Google play market constantly crashes when I try to open it, I think it might be related to me using the play market on my laptop and installing an app from there.

Anyone else had it?

EDIT: Never mind, rebooted and it worked out.
[LG Optimus Black] goodny:
grey youtube

the only reason i am not using this is becauce the youtube videos are grey but for the rest this very good.. i hope that they will fix it soon.
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
This might be a noob question but im new to android development so go easy on me.

In your source in BoardConfig.mk BOARD_USES_TI_CAMERA_HAL is set to true nd in the extract-files.sh you dont pull any HAL camera libraries. Im not aware of any HAL Camera libraries availiable for our device.(correct me if im wrong)

In the system/lib/hw of your rom I see a file called camera.goldfish.so nd camera.lge.so.

Can someone please clarify this for me?

I dont have a linux box currently available so I cant compile after changing values nd see what happens.
[LG Optimus Black] Anarcho-Capitalist:
Can you get the flashlight working without the camera or is it a package deal?
[LG Optimus Black] jerrychu588:
some questions about ics

excuse me

Is 2G/3G fixed?

That is really important to me.

thanks :)
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Theres omr's fix but thats hard to implement since that uses another kernel. The devs are really busy. Rather use a gingerbreak rom for a while. Unless of course you wanna contribute then go get the source :thumbup:
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
They are having good results with the camera using another HAL driver ftom another device with similair hardware. If you wait for a few more weeks you might have both :D
[LG Optimus Black] jerrychu588:
I see :)

Really appreciate for those devs who are busy developing ics.

I'll try me best to donate as possible :)
[LG Optimus Black] DiederikC:
No it isn't...
[LG Optimus Black] strider2023:
Hey DiederikC, if i remember it right you said you got the camera working with galaxy drivers...any updates on its stability? :)

P.S. Checked the camera code the other day...it seems to have a few extra modes ebedded too!! :D
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
If you check the dev thread ocovarr got both cameras working but black nd white only with alot of noise on the back camera. Not sure how DiederikC is doing. From what I can tell their using different aproaches : Diederik using alternate HAL drivers and ocovarr trying to integrate older one. ( I havent had time to check so correct me if im wrong ) So its not a case of adding the two together and tada! (Again correct me if im wrong)
[LG Optimus Black] ksaul:
This might be a really dumb question, but I just want to make sure before I begin the process of Rooting, and using this mod on my phone.

I have the StraightTalk/TracFone (verizon was killing me on my phone bill.. cant beat $45/month for everything - except no 4g :() version of the LG Optimus Black (http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...ction=view&productVariantExtensionId=14785430) so will this rom work with my phone? (I havent recieved my phone yet, i will have it in ~5hours via FedEx Time) because it appears my phone doesnt have the 'soft keys' on the actual screen - they are hard buttons on the phone, or am i mistaken about this? (It is Android 2.3...)

Just want to clarify before i begin the process..

and also - anyone have a good tutorial on how to superuser/root/cwm and install this rom on our phones? I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it was extremely easy process
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
this rom isn't completely usable yet

it's an alpha, developers are working on it

in the mean time, try rooting and zeus or marvel for ics looks
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Yes any rom for optimus black should work unless they changed the hardware.

Before looking for how to root tutorials first get the phone and see what rom version (eg 20N or sumthing) it is and google how to root that version. Personally I rooted mine with superoneclick but after I rooted mine I didnt look at any more things about rooting so it might not be a option anymore.
[LG Optimus Black] strider2023:
Ya just checked for the updates seems they are making progress...and no you are NOT WRONG :p
[LG Optimus Black] blaireau785:
build is coming very next :)
[LG Optimus Black] Cazuo:
released!

"New Build

[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Yes they made alot of adjustments and their using a new kernel now. It will still be a while before its usuable for day to day usage. Im downloading it now :)
[LG Optimus Black] Vazduh:
Just tried the most recent released version nightly4. Unfortunately, mobile data in orange/Romania not working; vibrations does not work; signal bug fixed (now shows full signal and not only 2 lines) and overall a nice experience. I think with 3g connectivity and vibrations working (not to miss a call in loud environments), this rom may be suited for daily use.

I admire all the dev's work and patiently waiting for the next release. :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I tested the ROM. It very nice.

The vibrations doesn't work (cause its still using old kernel only relized it after going to Setting/About Phone)

3G doesn't work in Vodacom SA. :( logcat shows sum weird exceptions.

Can someone just paste the logcat over in the dev thread ( I don't have 10 post lol )

and
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I also get the same errors and we ll have a look at it.

Seems like we use different basebands/configs to log into the 3G network, so we gotta find a general solution, as it seems to be effectless for a huge part in europe and some other countries/continents... could you all pls report the baseband your country is using and if the fix works, or not?
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
Call doesn't work after receive a call or after a missed call.
[LG Optimus Black] strider2023:
Cannot take incoming calls while the phone is in sleep mode, it so happens that the screen dosent start up not even by pressing the power button. All I can do at these moments is to take off the battery and replug it.

P.S. Its not a usual case but happened 2-3 times for me. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] adriantfw:
And the bug that it will reboot when i press the "applicatio:crying:n" in the setting is. still not fixed:confused:.:crying:
[LG Optimus Black] Antonnzr:
After updating to nightly 4 I can no longer download applications from the play market. Anythin I try to download is stuck on "downloading" and it never finishes.

CM9 Nighly-4 Cannot access Data (2G-India).

Hey,

Just installed CM9 Nighly-4. GSM Network issue has been fixed but still cannot access Data (2G-India) any suggestion ?. Rest everything works perfect.

I respect all the developers hardwork.
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Networking only works properly in some countries ( from the posts I seen africa and europe mostly doesnt work ). NOOBY said that it depends on what basebands your networks use for 3g/2g nd I agree with him. If the phone doesnt know what baseband it should use it cant sample it. (I was given a very techical reason why this is so but if I try to repeat it ill probebly get it wrong) and if it doesnt know it probebly uses a default value ( which is why some people get fully working network and others dont.)
[LG Optimus Black] Vazduh:
Hi All again! Reading all this enlighten me with some ideas, but not being a developer i don't know exactly if my post will be useful or useless :D

First, i used to have a Motorola defy and i remember that they have an app named Baseband switcher (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745 ) witch they used to get a gsm signal in different countries, and i also remember that this small app was present in all custom or modded roms they had. Hoping that this info is not useless crap

Second, i know that the hardware inside defy and defy+ regardless of marketing info, is basically the same (with a small difference of camera SOC and Bayer), long story short: defy = TI OMAP 3610, 800 MHz - cortex A8, GPU PowerVR SGX 530; defy + = TI OMAP 3620, 1 GHz - cortex A8, GPU Power VR SGX 530, but BOTH in reality have TI OMAP 3630, 1 GHz - cortex A8, GPU Power VR SGX 530, same as our OB. I read this info in their forums some time ago but dont remember exactly where. Although some sources and discussions: here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP an here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898697

With this in mind, maybe it could be useful to ask one of the ICS devs for defy for some infos (here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353003 ) related to what should work in OB unofficial CM9 by FreeOmptimusProject team.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Thanks for the info ill look at it later today. Itll probably be a work around to a deeper problem but at least itll be working then.( probably over optimistic)
[LG Optimus Black] dj_djabol:
After the entry into Settings -> Applications or Settings -> Memory the phone automatically restarts. Is happening when I install some applications (2-3). When I make a full wipe, everything is ok, but until that something will not install

I use Nightly 4. Anyone have this problem, know how to fix this?

Sorry for my English
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I didnt use it long enough to notice that. ( nd im quite sure i didnt just not notice my phone rebooting ) Is it restarting imediately when you go into apps or memory? can you post a logcat from your phone when this happens pls.

On an unrelated note I tried fiddling with build.prop and sum ril libs to fix network but i dont know that much about it so i ended up finding different ways to make network worse :p
[LG Optimus Black] dj_djabol:
phone restarts immediately when i click on the "Applications" or "Memory" in the settings. information on memory or applications are loaded and the phone will reboot
[LG Optimus Black] adriantfw:
how can i use fm radio with this rom?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I had a quick look at the logs. I noticed:

3 three thing gets removed by Systerm.err

Graphics libs are loaded

Thread 15 end with a uncaught exception.

PackageManager causes a Fatalcrash and that has something to do with sd and mountservice.

Can you retry without your sd card in your phone?Ill try to reproduce the error later today.

Please dont expect any miracles from me im fairly new to android development.
[LG Optimus Black] dj_djabol:
without sd card, the phone also restarts

everything works when I do wipe and nothing is installs

ok I understand
[LG Optimus Black] Storix:
Has anyone tried to build the kernel 3.0 from K3.0 branch? If yes,so, how the results?
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I cant reproduce your bug.

The steps I follow :

I do factory reset.

Clear cache partition

Clear dalvik cache

Flash rom

Flash market hotfix

I installed 3 apps and checked ( worked ). Installed 4 more apps and checked ( still worked ).

I didnt install the apps from the market. I installed them from backed up apk's.( my 3g doesnt work :( )

Im at a los what to do :confused:

What version is the rom your using? Im using v4

Does your md5 checksums addup?

If your using v4 and your are following the same steps as me then you should wait for the response of a real dev.

Also i cant find memory under settings just apps ( silly me :p )
[LG Optimus Black] dj_djabol:
Memory = Storage, sorry :D

Im using v4 and market hotfix

I done the same steps, but I install the apps from market (wifi).

I'll try to download again rom

thanks

sorry for my english
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Ok ill try download from the market with wifi.

On the blog they said v5 will be released soon.( That one includes the new kernel if im not mistaken :D ). Wait for that one and see if bug is still there.

In the mean time if you want to use apps download them on another phone ( or another rom ) back them up and put on your sd card. I use ES File Explorer to back up my apps. Not the most comfortable workaround but youll probably wont have your phone reboot when you go to apps or storage.
[LG Optimus Black] strider2023:

Has anyone got a way of resetting the phone and reinstalling the rom?
