[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
Just few hours ago I tried to install Fix #9 and I get stacked on Lg logo, I removed the battery and reboot, but mins passed and passed, my device couldn't start with new fix, I'm wondering if is cuz I'm passing from Huexx 's kernel to Boype's one, I will try to flash Fix#4 and later Fix#9 and telling my experience. If I missing something I'm open for advices.
[LG Optimus Black] LookedPath:
With your fix 8 I haven't got any sod during 2 days and the battery is lasting a lot longer that the previous fixes... There's another good thing: with this fix the phone stays under 30° even with screen and wifi on for more than one hour... With previous fixes reached even 38°... Boype you are doing a great job even with your exams... Thank you very much for the support that you are giving to our phone...
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
i'm afraid of flashing #9 cuz i just managed to get #8 working with suspend and nice battery life lol gonna wait for other people's replies and see :P or wait for next release hehe
[LG Optimus Black] Mini Franki:
Good! I try it right now!

Do you know about the bluethooth issue? When you log off and try to re log, sound stop working on phone
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
I think boype just mentioned a few posts ago, that there are some incompatibilities with zeus kernel. I think you should definitely flash the base kernel first, and then #9.
[LG Optimus Black] Hackpb:
Just to You know and i am sorry boype if this is is off topic, but i am using your kernel 9 but in a shendo rom and so far so good. No SOD or something. Using it almost for one day i will report if something happen if you like me to do that because i am not using your rom bit only your kernel. Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
In fact i did it, now im using Fix#9, laggy, not smooth as Fix#8 but good enough, i will check battery consuption.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
fix 4 is only stable under the very circumstances the kernel is set to. You could say it is a coincidence that it is stable at all.

For example, when changing kernel governor variables (like smartass2 ramping speed), fix 4 fails.

Apart from that, CPU transition latency is at 66ms in fix 4, which more than 4 times higher than the stock setting. This means the phone gets less responsive and ramps up slower.

For me, kernel 4 is a piece of "let's just tune some stuff and see if it works". I don't want that kind of dirty engineering.
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
For me fix #8 is working flawlessly. Good batt life and no sod or wakelocks anymore. Im very happy thx boype :D
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
What are the steps you followed to install every zip(gpsFix)?

This could be cuz isnt your ROM, and boype is working to give you the best experience without receiving any for his job, instead telling him about stop trying get a perfect kernel, better say him Thanks.

Edit - - -

Only passed half hour, WiFi on, screen on, using browser and the battery reduced to 90%, is this good or worse than with other fix's?
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Got 2 SoDs with new #9

:)
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Well it's hard to say, but if you count an avarage with 30 mins browsing on WiFi = 10% battery, then you get 300 mins = 5 hours, which is not bad I guess.

I think the most important part about consumption will be the over night drain with WiFi or 3G on. If I get 10% tops for an 8 hour period, I think I'll be satisfied.

Btw would you mind to share what theme you use, and where did you get it?

...and regarding the consumption, am I the only one, who's annoyed by the current auto brightness values? I think we (or at least I) could save a lot of battery reconfiguring them. Where did this option go from CM settings anyway?

For a start, the min values of both auto and manual brightness are way to high. At night it burns out my eyes. Fortunately I explored the night mode at CM settings. Yet I think the display is the biggest battery consumer regardless what the crappy stock batterystats shows, so I'd be a smart move to decrease it in overall.
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
dont be emo and your welcome.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
You got any with #8 before?
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Yes i did, 2 times, gonna reflash everything again ,with all wipes, to check if it can be an issue related to any app or whatever
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
as far as i can tell the theme he's using is ICS theme for CM7, u can find it in Play Store. I've got it on mine and it looks great, changed the clock color too so it matches ICS color scheme :]
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
I just noticed boype, that you included a new governor in #9. Can we now the reason, why this and not smartass?
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Did all wipes, flashed rom and kernel #9 working nice at the moment!

Not any sod from yesterday :)
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
sounds promising, keep me updated ;)

[EDIT]

Exams are done, finally.

I have implemented the transparent statusbar and added an option for a semi-transparent statusbar as well.

I'd like some input on the latest test kernels #8 and #9... How are they performing regarding SODs / freezes?

I'm looking forward to the release :)
[LG Optimus Black] chejo:
Didn't have any sod's or freezes on either of them. I've been using them since you posted them.
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
I didn't have any SODs or wakelocks but i got 1 freeze on the 2012 os game.
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
In my case, Im working perfectly with #8, I just need verify differences with a clean install + #9
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Everything going good with #9

Gps connecting in some seconds being indoors :=)

Not any sod or freeze

Flashed it with all wipes (sdcard too) last release rom, after i flashed fixkernel#9 and installed all apps/games
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Well, since yesterday morning I haven't got any SoDs with #9 base settings - that's definitely good news - even though just one days' experience.

However I have rough wakelocks instead with WiFi. 3G looks better so far. I'm gonna put up System Panel again to monitor the apps and processes over tonight, but it's more than likely to be the suspend process misbehaving again. I just can't really see the connection why having wakelocks with WiFi, and not 3G. Cause this would mean, the issue is not directly traffic related. Maybe it has something to do with the governor (or GMaps as the screenshots show below)? Anyway I'll monitor traffic too tonight.
[LG Optimus Black] Mini Franki:
Since yesterday, no SOD with fix 9. But we use ondemandx. You dont want to test smartassv2?

And pretty good battery life!
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
You can test whatever governor you want... I just tested ondemandx, but will set smartass2 as default again.
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
Im on latest zues and i also have suspend bug. Ive read somewhere on xda that this is kernel bug and it's resolved in 2.6.37 kernel release.
[LG Optimus Black] dabyd64:
The sound doesnt work for me. No notifications, no calling sound, also no voice when doing a call , the volume rocker doesn't make any sound when changing the phone ring level.... omg

But the battery life with 3G data enabled is awesome! You're getting near perfection xD.

I always do wipe/factory reset, clear dalvik and format /system to ensure the phone is 100% clean

*EDIT*

Murphy's law here, I wiped system/cache/data/dalvik and reinstalled again, now the sound works again.

I'm testing with ondemand governor to see if the battery drains slower when using the phone.

*EDIT2*

Also this time Whatsapp worked fine. LOL I guess I'm going grazy :eek:
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
Can anyone tell me where to find the option to turn on Flashlight by long presssing the Home key in the lockscreen? I used to have it in CM but now I can't find it.
[LG Optimus Black] In_a_state:
I guess that by going in CyanogenMod settings, input, long-press menu settings, choose behaviour set to custom application, then select custom application, go to applications and choose torch.

Restored the backup I made for the ROM shortly after I initially flashed it and configured it a bit, the audio scaling is fine now. Still can't find any satellite after changing the gps.conf. I'm not too crazy about the energy consumption either, it's fine when idle, but a bit high when the phone is used.

One of the reason I like going with CM7, the extra options, also the easy theming :) Been using the ics cm7 theme with the ics font.

Edit: the volume scaling issue still happens, but only when Poweramp is open, works fine in the stock player.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
To those writing about poor battery life when the screen is on: Is it specific for my CM7 ROM compared to other CM7 ROMs, or is it that CM7 in general (compared to non-CM7 ROMs) is performing poorly battery wise when the screen is on?
[LG Optimus Black] kaopho:
Hi,

I tried different rom, Zeus, Cici, CM7 official, kang, and I think your rom mod does not consume more or less battery. She behaves perfectly. Good job.
[LG Optimus Black] dabyd64:
Now everything works great so far. I have been the whole day listening to music, surfing, whatsapping, called few times, played Parallel Mafia like crazy :silly: and no one bug/freeze/SOD/FC !! I hope it continues as this.

For the people having problems: Try formatting system/cache/data/dalvik/ factory reset, and flash again.

The first time I flashed I had no sound and strange problems, and I had wiped everything..but second wipe and reflash, made it working. Strange issues here...Now I am a happy user of OB for the first time :laugh:
[LG Optimus Black] kirigaze:
I flashed Boype ROM over Temasek 97 with only wipe the dalvik cache, and everything is just fine to me until this day.

Just my stupid thinking, maybe because I flashed over Temasek ROM, it's just like combining these 2 ROMs. I didn't do wipe data, etc...

I don't know exactly how it works..
[LG Optimus Black] Siguiriya:
I did the same thing and I've had a very positive experience. It's probably because you can flash cm7 based roms over one another.

To everyone suffering from battery, sound or other problems: wipe EVERYTHING and reflash. This rom is awesome, have some faith :) and remember: sometimes, strange things happen when changing from a stock based rom to cm7. It might also be a good idea to flash cm7 stable and then the kang.

@boype: as you can see, some of us are very happy with the battery life. I urge that the problem is on the side of the users...
[LG Optimus Black] In_a_state:
For reference, I had 10% battery loss with the stock music player running for 40 minutes (display off, wifi and bluetooth off, 2g, no data streaming). It's not bad, but I've seen better with one of the early kangs which I still used; I didn't test a lot of other roms.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Regarding battery life: I have started benchmarking battery life when the phone is not in deep sleep. I am running some test scenarios to hopefully find out the variables which will give us the best battery life possible.
[LG Optimus Black] grateful-dead:
Hi boype,

first of all thank you for building CM7

Could you add the PDroid framework please (see svyat's PDroid thread)

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
U can do it yourself - its simple.
[LG Optimus Black] CriminaL / AllegrO:
Until now I used a rom, but I have not seen so much smoother and faster.A great kernel.:good:I think this is the official version of the kernel must be used.
[LG Optimus Black] vark75:
Unfortunately, using your kernel in stock CM7.2, screws the wifi, which doesn't even turn on (it says error).
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
You need the wireless module aka wireless.ko.
[LG Optimus Black] koppa:
very good rom. thanks for your hard job.

but how to fix it?
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
That is not a problem. I'm from Portugal. The numbers appear like "914343203". But if I change the language to English, it appear "914-343-203".

Don't worry :)
[LG Optimus Black] dabyd64:
I achieved even better battery life!

Only 6% in 7-8 hours, while I was sleeping at night!! With 3G data enabled!! Incredible!!

I installed Autorun Manager Pro 3.4.1, and I disabled all the receivers in Gtalk and Google framework.

Previously I had lots of wakelocks called "GTALK_ASYNC_CONN" and "com.google.android.gsf" that were waking up the phone and consuming battery.

Now they are gone, I don't know what problems can be origined by disabling that services, but I can download apps from market and install them, and that's the only thing why I want the gapps.

See the pics attached!
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Actually I am surpised wireless doesn't work, because I didn't even integrate the kernel-specific wireless module in my own rom :D
[LG Optimus Black] Lark987:
Thanks for this amazing rom,, this would be my ROM now.. before Zeus.. Battery life is so good... no lags in games and the audio its good also..

managed also to make my gkey as camera starter/shutter.. but using LGCamera Pro.. in default camera its not working.. i dont know why.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
i'm on fix #8 and battery life is pretty sweet, GPS lock is VERY fast (after using FasterGPS cuz i'm in Brazil). No SODs but I do get a freeze or 2 per day, always while the screen is on, weird. Using interactivex. Great job boype!
[LG Optimus Black] dfavefenix:
Some two pics of battery usage!

Not freeze or sod with 2 days of using your rom :=) (Fix #9 with all wipes reflashing rom)

So nice!

[LG Optimus Black] slowy77:
hi all,

i just came from zues ROM and did whats in 1st page for installation, but installation aborted.

what 2 do?,
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Are you using CWM touch? If yes, install the non-touch version and you're good to go.

[EDIT]

Status update for everyone:

I am currently working on the audio issues some users reported. I have just finished fixing the issue where the interlocutor could not hear anything anymore when you enable the handfree (loudspeaker) mode. Someone also reported an issue with skype + handfree mode where the interlocutor could not hear anything. I'm looking into that at the moment.

Also, someone reported the bluetooth microphone volume being extremely low. I increased that volume by 66% now, but cannot test it, since I have no bluetooth headset.
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
Or he can use temasek's Latest cwm touch it is all based on non-touch and it works for me :)
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Once you mentioned it, I'd also like to report a sound related issue. When you start FM radio, the media volume always gets to the maximum, no matter what level you used before. And this maximazing the volume thing also happens every time, when you get a notification. The worse part is, in that case you can't lower the media volume anymore, baceuse the ringing becomes the default volume, so you can only set that later, even if you switch back to the radio app. And I probably don't have to say that max volume is hurting my ears big time.

Though I'm not sure it's directly connected to the media settings, maybe just the FM Radio app is a piece of crap. It has many other defects too, but I'll save them for another day.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
I'll check the FM radio audio routing as well... Thanks for the input.
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Thank You, for your reply.

It just come to my mind, that the radio being possible to start only with bluetooth turned on, may has something to do with this as well.

...aaand here we have todays' observations on my behalf. Monitored the consumption on every possible angles. Seems like 2G/3G does not cause wakelocks like WiFi. So I'd risk to claim that it's not traffic, thus not (user) app related. It's the rom, particularly probably the kernel.

The suspend process stayed between 1-3% of CPU usage. That's the normal level as far as I know. With WiFi it used to be about 10-30%, which kills the battery in 12 hours without usage.

On SoD front everything went good since #9 was published.
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Have you set your wifi to be "always on"?
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Of course.
[LG Optimus Black] noname7676:
GPS problem

Hi, i have a problem with GPS. Not with the fix, it is OK ... but i am using apps for tracking. I start the app, gps is locked - I can see the icon in the status bar, then i lock and off the screen. After a few seconds, i switch the screen on and the gps icon is not in the status bar and a track is not recorded of course. Any idea?
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
It also occurs to me, just the way you described. The rom drops the signal if you turn off the screen, and back on. But we have more serious problems here, so I thought to keep this for later.

Btw the same happens with the WiFi, if I change the GSM mode.
[LG Optimus Black] Mexickano:
When I receive calls people can't hear me well, they listen noise like when you are in a car driving, somebody else is experimenting something like this?
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Ok, I've notice something just now and I think EVERYONE should notice.

I've been using fix #9 since it was published, it was working very well, no SoDs, FCs and a great gps service.

Last night I broke my vending.apk and could not fix it, i had to reinstall the whole rom and #9 fix, since it was my last base i didn't wipe data. As a result i've been having a lot of freezes and SoDs

I'm about to make a clean install to confirm if SoDs and freezes are related to installing without full wipes.

Greetings
[LG Optimus Black] Mini Franki:
1st SOD today with smartassv2 and fix #9

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

Another SOD... I back with ondemandx

Its strange, why smartassv2 work fine on zeus but not on cm7... I never got SOD with zeus. If cm7 use the same original CPU spec than zeus, i dont understand why that happen

I got SOD since bluethooth configured and activated. And since smartassv2. Its maybe a coincidence but i just said. All infos can be useful
[LG Optimus Black] slowy77:
i getting this error while installation ro.product.device p970
[LG Optimus Black] dikabuzz9447:
Read previous post for clear answer, but it may because u used CWM touch, try using non-touch CWM recovery it should fixed the problem
[LG Optimus Black] slowy77:
where can i get non touch version????? searched every where
[LG Optimus Black] Adjudicator52:
Wireless won't connect to my router. Re-flashed 3 times with the same results.

Am I missing something?
[LG Optimus Black] di3cbl:
Just flash cwm recovery in Rom manager again (the first option I think)
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
I saw that before in this thread. There appears to be a problem for few users with CM7 not setting the wireless adapter's MAC address correctly.

Solution:

You need to copy a file named 'config' from a stock ROM installed on your device.

The file is inside /data/misc/wifi. Copy that file and paste it in the same folder within CM7.

If you still have a nandroid backup of a stock ROM, you can also find that file in the archive 'data.ext3.tar'.

Status update for everyone:

I finished fixing the audio routing for now - boy, that was a lot of trial & error testing. I called myself on my landline phone like 50 times :D

I'll do the finishing touches for the release tomorrow and/or Friday. Friday should be realistic date for the release day.
[LG Optimus Black] atillaahun:
Have you set the channels in the WiFi special settings as well? My connection only works with channel 13.
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
will the new release include the transparent top bar?
[LG Optimus Black] kirigaze:
WAiting for it!! Your work is awesome
[LG Optimus Black] Hiro27:
Want to use this ROM when the final release come... :D
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Yes it will. You can set the status bar to fully transparent, semi-transparent, and to any custom color you like. Of course, the default style is black (the way it has always been).
[LG Optimus Black] lowert:
Hey boype,i've been using your rom for 2 months and i very like it.One question: can you fix this,like an addon for your rom? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1596034 cause it is awesome,just battery use menu is force closing,need a little xml edit.Can you do it for the next release?It would be cool
[LG Optimus Black] agritux:
@boype, what did you do about sound? and which sound? incoming or outgoing?
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
Would this patch work without any problems with ur rom boype?

[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
There is already a option for center clock and transparent statusbar is included in next update :thumbup:
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
yeah i know, i was just wondering :]
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
It's already available since 2012-07-15...
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Boype, could you share some light about your modifications about the sound?
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
I didn't fix all issues with sound, but quite a number of them, focusing on calls functioning properly. Here's an excerpt of my not yet polished changelog:

audio routing:

- fixed: When enabling handfree (speaker) mode, the interlocutor could not hear anything

- fixed: At calls with headphones attached, interlocutor could be heard via headphones, but interlocutor could not hear anything

- fixed: Low volume at the interlocutor's side when making calls via headset

- increased overall mic recording volume by 66% (Regular calls are excluded from that. However, e.g. Skype calls and voice recording are boosted.)
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
That is good :)

It is possible to create a flashable to change the window animation? I prefer the default animation.
[LG Optimus Black] raffux3:
boype's please fix video :( pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
I know the center clock option is available, been using that, but I was referring to the the transparent notification bar at the top. I know it's included in the next release, but I didn't want to reflash the whole thing, all I wanted was the transparent notification bar. Maybe u could release it in a separate zip flashable for ppl who want JUST the patch, i don't know it's just an idea. If it sounds ridiculous to u, no problem, but just let me know if that patch i posted earlier would work with your CM7 rom please :D

Thx man!
[LG Optimus Black] boype:
Ah okay I didn't get that then ;)

The patch you posted looks interesting, but it won't be integrated in tomorrow's release... I have to finish things up. If I always keep adding and fixing, next release would be in 2 months ^^
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
Hehe no problem boype, thx for answering me :]

Just for the record, that patch DID NOT work. It's a center clock + transparent status bar patch, but only the center clock worked for me, the transparent top bar always gave FC when I tried to use a theme that has transparent status bar (like MIUI theme).

Your rom already has the center clock option, so there's no use in flashing that patch hehe. Gonna wait for next release and period.
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
After a couple of days since the fresh install I'm glad to report I haven't had no SoD or wakelocks, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND fresh install regardless of which ROM you had previously installed on your phone, please do not report issues if you didn't do a full wipe install since I believe the reports are misleading. During this test I only used the default governor on fix #9 no UV or OC

I also noticed fix #9 is not the best at battery management, it just does fine.

Thanks for all the work to boype and people who test and report bugs
[LG Optimus Black] bl4ck0p5:
u mean data/factory reset + cache + dalvik?
[LG Optimus Black] chokod9:
I have a question....taking this base we can make a new MIUI? Because the last job with MIUI is still with several bugs. Boype you're awesome :D

Testing this rom coming from cm7 nightly. Cache and dalvik wipe only. No experimental flash yet, just the default download. Hope this will fix nightly's sods and wakelocks.
