Hello!

I´m using the CM9 Rom fromm FoP. Is it possible to downgrade to this Rom without wiping the data and doing a factory reset?

Thank you guys!!
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
No.
[LG Optimus Black] sagargiet:
if there are any fixes or updates of the rom how can we do it? do we have to to download the complete rom and flash againg`. or any OTA process through rom manager or any update.zips plz help guys trying to learn things...
[LG Optimus Black] agritux:
will you make?? or will you want another dev?
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
Got my first wakelock just now a few seconds before incoming call. Press power button but screen stay blank. Can't answer that damn call lol. Gonna flash experimental #9 now.
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
But just to point it out, there were times where I did all the wipes and still got very disappointing results, such as SODs, freezes and wakelocks. So it's not a very precise thing it seems to me. It sure is the best way to do things (all wipes before flash), but it doesn't necessarily means you won't have any problems after. Sometimes a certain setup works for some people but not for others, which is sad :/ In my case I had to keep trying and flashing different fixes, kernels etc until I got it to work. Now I haven't had any problems at all for the last couple days and I'm very happy. So, for the people who still struggle to make this rom a perfect fit for their OB, keep trying hehe In the end it'll definitely be worth it ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lowert:
@boype when will we get the update?I can't wait:D
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Thanks a lot for your awesome work Boype!

Last fix#9 didnt have any sod,and rom working so nice...

So time for all wipes and flash this new release!

Hurray! :o
[LG Optimus Black] lowert:
start testing now!Thanks for all:)

I can't flash gpsfix for europe,it says installation aborted

The transparent statusbar doesnt work(maybe jsut for me),i set to transparent,rebooted ,the lockscreen came up with transparent statusbar but when i unlocked it became black
[LG Optimus Black] pepejose:
:( I am too lazy right now hehehe, I'll wait a bit to see the impressions of other users.

thanks for your work!
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Read the OP carefully - in ADW Launcher, transparent status bar only works without wallpaper hack. In Launcher Pro, it only works with a Livewallpaper.

I'm checking the GPS fix files... Maybe they need to be signed.

[EDIT]

GPS files are fixed!
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
I want the original keybord.

Where Can i get it?

[Edit] Found it ;)
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
i think that is better if we can choose the keyboard that we want use and some skins for that actual
[LG Optimus Black] Shuriyken:
When i turn the wifi on i cant find my Network... Is there any way to fix it?
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
are you with boype's 03 august?
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
omg i finally feel like now i have the perfect rom according to my needs, thx so much boype!
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
wonderful!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Shuriyken:
Yeah i do
[LG Optimus Black] Siguiriya:
What channel is your network on? By default, 13 and 14 are disabled in CM7
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
i was new to this rom,

just fLash this Last night...

if i fLash the Latest update, do i need to wipe aLL again? (wipe data/cache/dalvik)
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
all wipes!
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
thanks (pushed button)

@boype

your rom soLved Lags on my games... :good:

many thanks pushed! :laugh:
[LG Optimus Black] agritux:
waiting for battery life feedbacks.

boype, what about camera?

do you think you can fix it with hardworking?

or we must wait cm team?

or is it impossible?
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
No.

Only cache and dalvik.
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
reaLLy?

good thing i backed up the previous one...

thanks pushed!:good:
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
You dont need to, but you should. Because you might get SOD's then... just saying ;) I at least NEVER had SOD's, when I made full wipes.
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Everything going good ¡so fast UI¡

Impresive ¡

I did all wipes (sd card too)

Thanks so much again ¡¡¡
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
no, if you will do only cache and dalvik maybe you might have some SOD
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
I can't flash removed apps "installation aborted". Downloaded twice from mediafire
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
You shouldnt flash it.

You should extract the files and move them to /system/app/ set permissions rw-r--r--

And reboot
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
Beautifull icons in notification widget. How did you do it?
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
I'm using MIUI theme for CM7 which u can find here with semi transparent status bar seting from boype's rom.

Along with xperia launcher found here. Grab the wallpapers from this last thread too, beautiful stuff hehe.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
... 200 downloads and no SOD 'complaints' so far. This must be a good sign :D
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Yeah no SoD :=)
[LG Optimus Black] genarinho:
The modded ROM is awesome!

ty! :good:
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
boype can you add font menu as in stock??
[LG Optimus Black] sagargiet:
no SOD but faced a prob. have installed ur rom and gapps without any problem rom is great battery fine no other bugs but, it was fine and working superb. i installed some apps from play store aswell. but all of a sudden sound was gone...no ringtone no msg tone no audio from music played and even from key board... shocked and done a reboot.now its ok for time but dont no if this repeats...am i the one facing it? what can be the solution. help me friends....
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
It's possible I made a mistake while fixing the audio routing. If you encounter the problem again, describe in detail what you did before.
[LG Optimus Black] sagargiet:
thanks for ur quick reply brother....will definitely let u know if this happens again.. hope it doesnt..:(
[LG Optimus Black] chokod9:
I will try but i need help for a dev with more experience

Enviado desde mi LG-P970 usando Tapatalk 2
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
No sod, wakelock or whatsoever so far. Awesome job.

Just want to ask if you could kindly keep the extra apps that you add to minimum. Some of us for example need to install different kind of google maps (navigation hack). Future update will overwrite this. Imho, let us stick to cm7 default apps and default gapps if possible. All others can be install later depending on user's choice.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
Pretty good job Boype, congratz, only one question, how to fix mic for callings, when I do a call the other person who receive hear noise like if when you call driving and the wind hit you. Excuse my bad English and ugly expressions, but it's just a quick reply since I'm in my job, but it's bother call and people can't recognize your voice.
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
boype, does it worth to change the gps ntp server name from europe to hu if I'm in Hungary?
[LG Optimus Black] CriminaL / AllegrO:
Congratulations Boype

His work is meticulous and tidy.

I used two days and two times the original sod had CM7.

I went back again, boype rom and very successful in the last update.

I have a question

I probably came to a certain level kernel and rom.

interested in the camera a little too happy.

Especially the camera does not capture whether errors during video recording.

Video recording quality is very poor.

I do not know many things I want to:p
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
The new update is smooth and nos SoD's so far, great work :)

But I noticed that the new ADW Launcher is smooth indeed but doesn't have catalogs navigation in the app drawer like the CM one, probably that's the reason it's smoother.

Also downloaded YouTube 720p videos (specifically the newly uploaded ones) won't play using HW decoder (take this one for example), only software decoder can play them which is laggy. LG Stock ROM can play them lag-free using HW decoder. The weird thing though is that there are other 720p mp4 videos (not YT) that I couldn't play using HW decoder in Stock V20B but plays smoothly in your ROM !

I hope you can fix this.
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
great job for boype! :good:

no Lags, no SODs, very good,

the onLy probLem i encountered so far is the front face camera...

dark and i can't see the fuLL image when i take a picture...

overaLL...very nice and smooth! ;)

PS: my friend thought it was an iphone 5 because of your rom boype! :D
[LG Optimus Black] lowert:
boype i have some randomly screen light up when the phone is in deepsleep,i didn't have it with 20120715,i checked the apps,but i use autokiller i wiped cache and dalvik and still got it
[LG Optimus Black] kinjal:
Good work :) no sod no lag. I'm using it just 2 days but I like it. I will test it longer.

Wysłane z mojego LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
I got 2 issues so far. This morning the phone didn't wake up. Long press power button and the phone on again. Just now put it on charge, left it a few minutes, long press power button no feedback. Need to pull the battery this time around. Sod I guess.
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Did you all wipes?
[LG Optimus Black] ThunderBolt_BR:
Hi Boype,

Excellent job as always.

I have been running 0803 in my wife's phone with no SoD for 1 day.

But I think that the MIC gain was too high: the caller's voice is very saturated. I think it would be nice to reduce that gain to, let's say, 20dB.

Thank's again for your hard work!

[]'s
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
I'm starting from scratch. Wipe all data, cache, dalvik. Sdcard too bcoz it's a bit messy in there. Hope this is just a small glitch.
[LG Optimus Black] bimasakti85:
Im getting my first SOD after flashing the latest kernel. If I saw in setcpu, the cpu clock travel down to 100mhz,is this normal?
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Setcpu probably reads the /proc/cpuinfo (just a wild guess). I don't know why, but it delivers wrong values with the kernel...

Is that with regular calls (handset) or headset calls?
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
It is a must, to do all wipes with this new release of boype s rom¡

So sure that "small glitch" dissapear :)
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
Im getting the same issue, regular calls.
[LG Optimus Black] ThunderBolt_BR:
Calls made with the handset - the normal way.

[]'s
[LG Optimus Black] bimasakti85:
Changed the governor from ondemandX to smartassv2 and no SOD untill present...
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
You misunderstood me. Those issues happened after all wipes. I'm done reinstall my apps one by one and so far no sod whatsoever. Hope it stays that way.
[LG Optimus Black] FunkyGanja:
Anybody having problems with CM7 not going into deep sleep or 200MHz? This ROM seems to either be on 400MHz (screen off) or 1000MHz (screen on). Tested with CPU spy.
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Not me....

just sayin....
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
MY 2 cents

RomManager a useless app? I Hardly disagree with that.

DeskClock also a useless app? so how people is gonna be able to set the alarm to wake up in the morning?

LatinIME over HTCime? HTC keyboard is ugly and breaks the design of the rom, in other hand LatinIME is the android official KB.

I will prefer official CM filemanager over root browser every day of the week for a million years. File manager also have root capabilities.

and I know this is a unofficial build, but gapps are out of the rom for a reason.

just some constructive criticism.
[LG Optimus Black] Siguiriya:
Unfortunately, i agree here. Htc keyboard is hideous.
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
Reboot phone. I had the same problem, reboot helped me.
[LG Optimus Black] FunkyGanja:
Trust me Bro. I've tried.

If you look in the Q&A section (CM7 DVFS Issue) I've done a diagnosis of this problem and tried a whole range of fixes and NONE of it has fixed this problem.

I've even used both touch and regular CWM recovery img.

Anybody have any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] n.i.r.a.j:
thx boype, the front camera does not display or record videos when quality is set to high . it works when quality is set to low
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Thanks for your input.

Actually I've been thinking about including / not including / removing apps from the ROM quite a lot. In the end I decided to do it the way it is now, just to see whether people like it or not. In my opinion, choosing launcher / keyboard / file browser / whatever is a highly subjective matter - you just can't argue about personal taste. I will simply go back to the default package that comes with CM7. That way I do not have to make any decisions people criticize thereafter ;)

Anyway, I'll release a slightly patched version soon - I found one minor bug (not worth mentioning). Also people reported handset calls now have a too high mic gain - I'll fix that.
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Thank you for the new kernel, it seems to work stable for me so far. No SoDs, wakelocks or other problems with 200-1200 MHz & Smartassv2. Looks like the GPS also got better, locks faster, and won't drop the signal if the screen goes off.

However complying with your invitation, that we shall report bugs if we find any, I'd like to make my report below.

Recording:

- you probably know that the main problem is not the low frame rates, as you only mentioned above, but the complete lack of video recording in HD. The recording just cancels itself randomly within a minute, and won't save anything to the SD.

- the same thing happens in high quality as well most of the times. Sometimes it lasts longer than a minute and can save it, sometimes not. Can't figure out yet what does it depend on.

- with the latest release the front camera won't show anything in high quality, thus can't record with it only in low quality.

FM Radio:

- doesn't work without the Bluetooth turned on (unnecessary extra consumption, and takes too long to start up),

- puts the volume to the maximum at start up, and every time a sound notification occurs. In this second case, can't even lower the media volume back, because the ringtone becomes the default volume. So have to go to the settings, and lower the media volume there.

- can't rename the chosen channels,

- after an incoming call the radio won't continue playing

WiFi:

- won't reconnect after disable airplane mode. Sticks with th IP address request process.

- won't connect after changing the GSM mode. Same IP request stuck issue.

- other random reconnection issues sometimes.

SIP:

- the earphone button won't work with SIP calls. Can't mute or hang up the calls.

Videos:

HW decoding doesn't really work, has serious laggs. Can only use SW decoding, which is fine of course, just use almost twice as much battery as HW.

I think it would be fair to list these bugs in your first post (knowing that some are not fixable atm), so the newcomers could decide whether they can live with them, - and concentrate on other extra features (like led notifications, button remapping, sip calls, etc... - which I personally like a lot) - or not.

As far as I concerned I chose your rom over Zeus (partly because Huexxx doesn't give much **** about users/bug reports/comments/questions/requests), and if you reply here, and also manage to fix some of the above bugs, I'd consider to donate to you.

Good luck with your work.
[LG Optimus Black] rop12770:
Hi

I have updated to the last version and also the GPS file.

It locked the satelites in few seconds, but when I used Runkeeper, it only worked for 1 minute. When I checked it after my lap was done, it had stoped after that minute...
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Which governor did you use? In case you used interactivex or ondemandx, I very much suspect this is happening due to the governors limiting the CPU clock to 200 MHz when screen is off. Try smartass2...

Thank you very much for your detailed bug report, I really appreciate that. I'll add the list to the OP within the next days. I'll try to find a solution for some of the issues in the future, even though I have to say that the video recording / hw video decoding issues are tough shiat.

I think I know where the problem for that is... I will write this down and try to fix it.
[LG Optimus Black] tantrums:
Hi boybe,

Very nice update. You continue to evolve the CM7 in your own way. Fixing critical bugs like SOD are nice achievements.

I just noticed one thing - the long press back button does not close the app, like the default in CM7. I tried to find in CM settings, but it only contains, menu, home and search custom long press buttons. I always use this when closing my app.

Congratz again for the job well done.
[LG Optimus Black] lowert:
Applications-development
[LG Optimus Black] rop12770:
One other thing:

On the previous version it was possible to copy the phone number of a contact to paste it on another app (I use this to send SMS).

On this version, that option is not available.

PS: about the governor, it was selected smartass2. Or does the governor be set always after flash the rom?
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
I have updated my initial post (page 1) with a version built and uploaded today. It focuses on eliminating the distorted voice when calling in regular (handset) mode. Also, due to feedback about the removed / newly included apps, I decided to go back to the way things were - the standard CM7 way.

Additions to the new version:

Reverted microphone gain on handset calls back to standard values, while maintainig the increased gain for everything else. (Some users reported distorted sound due to high gain. Actually, I assumed that calls were excluded from the gain.)

Went back to standard app package - no apps removed, no apps added (not even google apps). Can't argue with personal taste...

Pre-set GPS fix is set to European NTP server (so no need to flash the EU GPS fix)

Best regards
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
So if i am happy with the old version with apps you added? it isnt needed to update to this new version Boype?

You did a reference that you fixed a little bug too, so im not sure if flash this new version or not :=)
[LG Optimus Black] tantrums:
Boype,

Maybe I can add the AROMA installer to your CM7 and give users options during installation.

Just an idea. If you like.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Mini Franki:
I got SOD with smartassv2 with the lastest update. With a clean install (wipe data and cache)

I go back with ondemandx. I used it during 1 week and never get SOD
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
@Boype The first time when I've installed GPS North America fix it really fix the gps, but after some use, restarts and fixing permissions, it still failing with at least 50 m., I'm from Mexico, so Mexico is parth of North of America, my doubt is if you added to Mexico into South America fix?

And thanks about fixing call's sound, you're better than Ricardo. :D
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Try re-flashing the GPS North-America fix.

Also, I'd like to shed some light on the localized GPS fixes: there's no real magic involved, because only the NTP server (=network time protocol) is localized. This means that a localized GPS fix does not give you some magical different GPS data from your continent. It rather speeds up the response time (ping) of your device to get an exact time from a time server (which is critical for precise GPS functioning).

In my opinion, adjusting the NTP server to one's continent can be a useful thing, since your mobile phone provider's international routing to a continent far away may not be the best one. But in reality, I assess the difference as negligible.

I'd say if you're feeling okay with 20120803, stick to it. If you don't want to wipe /data, the update may give you a hard time ^^

[EDIT]

A question: does anybody know what the maximum resolution for front-camera video recording is?
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
I did it, I've installed 2 times the same fix.

Thanks for the explanation, I let my device working on maps few mins. to get a better result, but it doesnt work, I really don't care SO MUCH about gps, but if you're fixing it, why not prove it and give you my advice, thanks in advance and I'm really but really greatful with your job, let me get some money at my card and I will donate, you deserve it.
[LG Optimus Black] ekaysh:
beype karnel /?/ is good, no SOD's. Will it work with beype karnel shendu rom?

[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Boype are doing a good thing for Optimus Black. I'm not denying that.

But Ricardo did a great job bringing CM7 to our Optimus Black. He manage to develop and adapt CM7 to out OB.

Boype fixed some bugs of an existing ROM. Ricardo created that ROM in the first place.
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Something odd just happened, I was checking out the change status bar transparency feature and this happened after the reboot
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Wouldn't it be 720x480?

I recall getting fairly good picture with Skype using the front cam.
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Oh i did all wipes again, i couldnt resist my self to flash the new one :=)

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
I can't seem to install non market apps, yes I've enabled it in settings can't even do it thru email only way is to push it into system..... but I don't really want to push everything into system tho...:p am using your 0108 release, other than that everything works perfect!

just sayin....
[LG Optimus Black] kirigaze:
Maybe Boype or anyone, if we slide the screen from above, it will appear a slide menu with icons at the top, right now I really forget the name. How do we manage the icons? Used to be I can find it, but at Boype 20120805 I can't find it. I would like to have data connection icon. Thanks all.
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
yeah me too...

my battery was at 41%,

when i reboot my phone,

it became 16%...

why i that happening? :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
When I go to camera and select front camera everything goes fine, but when I select video the screen turns black, only the picture space and is unable to take video, front photo's camera is ok.

There's a logcat for camera bug.
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
Yeah. Create it and then abandon it. Then still got nerve to show off cm9, cm10 on bla bla devices in the same time cm7 was never complete or at least usable without sods, wakelocks etc. Not asking much but at least make it stable for everyday use. But oh no no, here cm9 running on this ****, cm10 on this ****. What is there to show off if cm7 not even usable?

Then people like boype pick up the pieces and bam! No sods, no wakelocks not like cm7 freaking sods after sods like nobody business. Why it is so hard again? Did he ever really look at the bug report or just pretend to?

/rant. Sorry offtopic.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Cm settings, interface, notification power widget, widget buttons

I have had this behavior many times before. I have no explanation for this to be honest... but your battery juice is not gone, the level will either stay at that level for a long time, or the level will even climb up again.
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
It actually did go up, lol it was weird watching that
[LG Optimus Black] vinziboy:
hehe,

i've noticed that before,

it was 16%, then it became 17%...

but i charge my phone quickLy because of the typhoon (hate brownouts)

maybe it's just the battery meter but not the battery Life... :p
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
I think he is waiting for the IT to release the correct drivers... I know it frustrating, but without the correct drivers, it is really hard.

Hopefully FOP can fix since FOP are working only with our OB (and hope it stay this way) and Ricardo was a few other devices...

Now my hopes are with FOP team.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

Nevertheless, everyday, I check the commits made by Ricardo with the hopes that he will give more attention to our beloved OB.

Like I said, my hopes are with FOP team.

I still have hopes in Ricardo's work.

And I still have (very microscopic) hopes with LG.
