Volume Buttons Bug

Does anyone know how to fix this bug:

It is suddenly very often that the volume Up and Down does not respond at all. The volume Down does respond more often than the Up, but it is still many times it doesnt reaspond at all. Right now: Nothing happens when I push any of the buttons at all... Tried rebooting, volume down works once, then it stops... Please help :(

No offence but even I had a strange problem coming up upon trying to change the permissions for LG UI 3.0

first and only solution I tried out was setting the default phone DPI and layout as stated in the first post.
[LG Optimus 2x] DesolateEgo:
The latest Paranoid Android version seems to be 1.92 on the website and I was wondering if this is the version you have ported from and if not what is and will you be updating? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vdupham:
Did you get Jelly Bean version for my phone ? PLease , I can not wait until it's happens
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I am porting from PA version 1.5.

Beginning with v1.6 they moved from Java to native code.

From the porters view this means that their code now isn't in the Framework only anymore but in a couple Libraries as well.

As the devices which are officially supported (Galaxy Nexus & Samsung Galaxy S2) have a different chipset than our Tegra2 I cannot use their Libraries as a whole (like other porters do). Porting that is nearly impossible - or at least extremely hard, you'd have to be a smali expert for that.

But v1.6 didn't bring any new features apart from the switch to native code, so this version bump isn't really important.

They have promised to open their sources in the feature, then the native code won't be a problem anymore.

It was their last ICS version, beginning from 1.7 they're working on Jellybean only.

So yeah, as soon as we get CM10 running well on the 2x I will have a look at the newer builds.

Until then 1.5 will stay the base of this ROM. But that is rock-stable for ICS, so no rush to update.

I think we won't have a stable(-ish) JB without the update from LG, so that will take some time.

By the way, I should have mentioned that clearer in the build 5 announcement:

For build 5 I did quite some modifications to the framework which lead in far fewer dpi related app crashes.

pastimes new build did iron something out as well.

The xda app and Beatiful Widget widgets for example don't need a dpi of 240 anymore, they will scale well to every dpi now! :)

Actually: I haven't found an app that still crashes, yet.

Some apps don't scale well though. An example is the LG 4x launcher port, when you don't use it at 240 the drawer looks messed up.

Not PA's fault, that's an issue between the app and androids scaling.

[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
running build 5 since yesterday evening, excellent work again! :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Yeah, just flashed build 5 over 4.1 without wiping - no problems at all. :good:

Tony, maybe you could add something about USB in your FAQ. I'm a CM9 noob but was able to figure and google this out - MTP is just as good as mass storage, and doesn't require any LG drivers which is good. Newer MS OS's have it built in, and for older and not updated XP solution is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150211 - which most of us don't need. But what most of us do need is to turn off USB debugging and it works just fine :)
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
Hey

No matter what i set up in settings my WiFi shutdown when phone go into deep sleep....
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
If anyone installed Harsh's kernel under build 4.1 to use USM, you need to reflash it after instaling build 5. If you don't, several bugs appear such as the phone turns off when you plug in a USB cable or it can't even boot when connected via USB.

I don't know if reflashing a kernel after a ROM update is standard procedure, but at least I did not know so maybe I can help someone. Flash harsh kernel again!

tonyp, would it be possible for you to add Hot Reboot?
[LG Optimus 2x] loipol84:
Excellent rom Tony:good:

If we had only the damn drivers it would been an awsome android experience....Come on Lg/Nvidia WAKE UP!!!:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] xox101:
Newer MS OS's do have it built in BUT only if Media Player is installed. There are millions of installs of Win 7 N version in Europe without Media Player in which MTP won't work. Or if it will then I can't figure it out! LOL!

Annoyed...moi?
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
One more question.

Data usage warning popping up and there is really no way I found to get rid of it.

I've searched xda for it and it seems to be a common CM9 problem.

Like here for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1485286

No orange line to tweak atc.

Could this be an easy fix?
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
@xox101

Don't know about that, anyway I said "most of us" not all. Wiki says

Sooo... maybe informations are not so complete.

Tried on Win7 and XP SP3 and it works the same, plug'n'play - when USB debugging is turned off. So now I don't have to flash kernels to get mass storage :).

If it doesn't have a mediaplayer installed, you can download "Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework" from Microsoft, as linked and described in that xda thread.

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Of course you need to reflash the kernel after ROM update. The ROM comes with an own kernel which overwrites the custom one you install.

I don't have any orange line either, but don't get a warning. I just saw that the missing orange line is a ParanoidAndroid bug.

Did you set up a limit before using PA maybe?

Then wiping settings data could help maybe.
[LG Optimus 2x] May.Assem:
Love the transition effects, also I find this ROM to be even smoother than build 4.1.

The only problem I was able to find is a considerable lag when trying to enter the Mobile networks menu in settings. Sometimes the menu will open eventually, but more often it force closes.

Sent from either my Iconia-A500 or my LG-P990, depending.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Opens right away for me and never force closed.

@tonyp

such browser is running well in version 5. Thanks for it.

Edit : I misspelled it. It is UC BROWSER
[LG Optimus 2x] dktblade:
can i ask how can we can add more shortcut on status bar? like rotate, data, 3G.... ? i dont know where to config.
[LG Optimus 2x] xox101:
I know I'm going a little off topic here but I would like to go back to using the stock kernel as the battery life seemed to be better so please forgive the next dumb question!

When you plug your phone in using MTP what comes up on your PC screen? Is it the usual What to do with usb drive box or does it pop up in My Computer as a drive? How do you copy files backwards and forwards between the PC and phone?

Plugging my phone in using MTP with USB debugging unticked leads to absolutely zip happening apart from Windows trying to install the LG driver which fails miserably. Again I think this has something to do with the proper Media Player framework not being installed. I have tried to install the MS "fix" for N versions on both laptops but both installs fail.

Connecting to a Linux box using MTP also does nothing. I'm probably missing something but don't know what!

Build 5 running sweet as a nut. I've also flashed the 2g toggle app to see if that improves the battery life. I have to say that without this brilliant rom I would have probably stuck my phone on Ebay and went for a boring S2 instead but where would be the fun in that! LOL!
[LG Optimus 2x] snel76:
Hi Tony, had a strange issue with v5...

I am using BB/RIL 823. I never had any problems with it on CM7(Temasek), with your ROM everything was fine on PA v2 and PA v4/4.1. But on v5 data connection gets lost all the time (3g/H and 2g, doesn't matter) it behaves like i had the wrong RIL but i had not. I am sure correct RIL was installed. Any ideas? Could it be that a BB/RIL combination wich worked on several ROMs suddenly stops working on an other ROM?

Got the same problem with Owains some time ago, thats why i switched back to CM7.

After going back to PA v4.1 via nandroid backup everything works fine again.

Anyone out there with the same problem, or even better, a solution?
[LG Optimus 2x] azharshaikh7866:
Can I use internal SD as external SD.......on cm7 in es explorer I was getting the internal SD but now I m getting external SD wen I open it n no internal SD .......even in camera default is external sd
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
"Settings - Storage - Menukey - Storage configuration - Use internal storage"

Regarding the data drops issue reported: I currently can't do anything against that.

I don't have them which makes it hard for me to reproduce.

And I won't have the time within the next 2-3 weeks to track that down.
[LG Optimus 2x] azharshaikh7866:
Thnx for fast reply this rom looks good........
[LG Optimus 2x] darenb4:
Don't know if this will help.. but I had this problem on owians builds and I was told that if the GPS is swithced off and an app requests GPS that is what causes the signal drops.. I did uninstall face book Skype and all apps that run and try to get location.. tested for 3 days and didn't get 1 signal drop.. hope this helps tonyp cause if It can be fixed ill be back on cm9 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, that's the cause for people of the P999. Might be possible that it affects some people on the P990 as well.

I have GPS always enabled and do use Facebook etc and don't have a problem with signal drops.

But yes, it might work as a workaround to disable GPS.
[LG Optimus 2x] darenb4:
Yeah.. I like GPS off to save battery tho lol.. its only when it's off it happens.. should leave it on I'm sure.. just remembered another instance of data drops.. if I rebooted my phone while charging it would never come on with signal always had to disconnect and reboot again.. I'm sure the more u know the more u can fix :)

PS browser fix.... awesome :)
[LG Optimus 2x] MrNied:
Hey..

I just switched back to ICS again after some weeks of CM7..

And I'm really impressed great rom!!!

@Tonyp:

Are you going to integrate more JB stuff?

I really like the JB notifications!

Or do you know if it is possible to port them to a CM7/CM9 Rom?

Big thanks anyway for this great ROM!

I hope we will get the ICS Drivers soon, so you are able to make my phone the Nexus/Samsung/IPhone-Killer!
[LG Optimus 2x] snel76:
I got GPS disabled as a standard, maybe thats the problem. I will try this. But its strange this only happens on v5, on v4.1 i dont have this problem. Tomorrow i will reflash v5 and have a look. (will report back here what i found out)
[LG Optimus 2x] jrfurlan:
hehe, Ok, ok Tony.

Build.5 is very stable, many, many, many TKS!:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Yes, practicly same as mass storage, don't see any big difference so far. I use copy/paste method but MTP approach should give some other options, like auto syncing with various meda players and such. Here, look at some screen grabs below.

Maybe you could install WMP and just ignore it later... or uninstall :confused:

A short friendly reminder that your Q&A post#5 (and possibly 'known bugs' for build5 in post #2) needs updating now that you fixed the stock browser problem. :o
[LG Optimus 2x] dktblade:
the first install, i used gapps with google now. when i connect to PC, take one time restart, but can connect.

the second time, I reinstalled. used gapps without google now. now i can't connect PC. my L2x always restart when i connect. so what can i do know? anyone can advise?

i Really love this rom, althought still have some inconvinient issue, such as display contact detail in People(contact book). can't see phone number if too long.

Also the browser fix works perfectly.

I will definately stick to this rom for a long while

[LG Optimus 2x] mavEEE:
Anybody tested NovaHD Rebuild V1.1.0 ans this Rom and which one do you prefer?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, that's intended. You cannot install the normal update because you need a modded playstore which spoofs a dpi of 240 even it it set to another one ;) If it's not set to 240 then a couple apps will be flagged as incompatible, even if they're working great.

You could maybe find the new version here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

[LG Optimus 2x] cool.guy:
Great rom, excellent job :D

one question: when I flashed it, I noticed that the stuff on screen were smaller than in CM7. Specially on Settings menu, the options texts are really small and hard to read.

Is it normal from every ICS rom?

The impression I get is that devs made things smaller so more stuff can fit on screen.

If there's way to turn back to CM7 font size ...
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
This is the whole purpose of the whole ROM.

You can set the screen density in Paranoid Settings for everything in general or set the density for each app on it's own

If you want back to normal set it to phone default or 240.
[LG Optimus 2x] cool.guy:
I thought it was that, but even changing to 'phone default' nothing happens. Tried rebooting too, but no sucess.

I undestand the whole purpose of the rom, but I keep asking myself: why would I want a tablet interface in my phone ? :D

thank you all
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
rom is awesome... it has some bugs but it's ok.. but battery terrible..
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Phone default is the dpi of 190 which I set for the ROM as I like it with that. Why? because I like to see more at the screen - I can't stand notebooks with a resolution lower than 1600x900 as well ;)

Stock DPI (Phone) = Custom DPI of 240 = Stock DPI of the 2x.

To get the same stock dpi for all apps like at a usual ROM just go to paranoid settings - configuration - Phone mode (Stock).
[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
:cowboy:
[LG Optimus 2x] kohos:
I think some apps make sense in tablet ui.

Gmail is a lot better in tablet mode! Got it at 176dpi.

Got the Browser at 176 in tablet mode too.

Liked it in phone mode at first but using a lot of tabs is a lot easier in tablet mode.

Gallery at 120dpi with almost 3x4 images fitting on screen.

Youtube at 144dpi in tablet mode. (Althoug I kept the older yt from Owain's ROM.)
[LG Optimus 2x] Nova163:
Hey tonyp!

I just installed this rom and I love it, it's the first ICS rom that's fast for me, so I love that. Also I could finally disable small font, yay :D

The only 'bug' which you probably know of I found is that if you enable USB mass storage and you connect to the computer it starts bootlooping. Maybe good to add that to the Q & A (so others after me don't have to go through the troubleshooting themselves), except if it's just me of course.
[LG Optimus 2x] deminer:
mmm

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] MrNied:
It is already in the Q&A (maybe a little bit hidden)..

If you want to use UMS you have to flash a kernel, that supports it..

Stock kernel + UMS = bootloop..
[LG Optimus 2x] cool.guy:
Now I get it. That's smart, give the users the oportunity to choose the best dpi.

Tonyp, we share the same opinion: I like to see more things on screen too. However, the O2X display is not ideal to a 190dpi. It simply doesn't have the enough pixel density.

I set it to 220, seems much better. :D

I'd like to make something absolutely clear here:

My PM is not a support channel for people who are too lazy to search or at least ask in an appropriate thread at the Q&A section.

I don't mind a friendly PM or even an occasional question, but these days I'm receiving about 5-7 PM's a DAY which are

totally unrelated

to my work here at xda and do easily fit into the Q&A section.

Yes, I could tell you how to flash a kernel, how to create a flashable zip or how to root your phone (wtf?!) - but I won't.

Use the goddamn search or ask it at the forums, then others can learn something from the answer as well.

And as much as I appreciate donations, I won't help you only because you're offering a donation in return.

Donate to me if you like what I offered you here and think that's worth a couple bucks - but don't offer me that for custom support.

I would help everyone out personally with a step by step guide if my day would have 96 hours, but unfortunately it hasn't.

I know that people with a too low post count can't post here.

If you would prefer an officiall questions user thread I can create one at the General section for everyone to post there. Would that help someone?

(Yes the people who can't post here are allowed to answer me in PM).

But when I create that thread I expect you to use the new thread for questions like "which kernel shall i flash" and keep this one development related as much as possible.

Oh and one other thing: The reason I answered almost every question in this thread except the too obvious ones (or the ones I might have missed) is that I wanted to give you the possibility to use the search at this thread.

You might have to experiment with the search phrase, but most of the questions should already be out here. One tip might be to add "tonyp" to the authors field.

You're still reading here after these many lines? You're awesome.

Installed Build 05 yesterday. So far it runs great. I didn't get the point of the jellybean animation with the apps flying over the screen but hey it looks kinda cool.

I was using Jarvis kernel with the last build and I think I had a better battery life. The stock kernel gave me a little less than 18h of 3g always on plus wifi on and off.

Is there anyway to integrate that "power saver" module owain has in his ROM? I mean, is it a CM commit or his? Perhaps the lack of PA's binaries prevent you from doing so.

No BSOD so far, I had just one with the previous build.

Also, thanks for recognizing my awesomeness in your last post. ;P
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Not so good news. My phone died on me twice, yesterday afternoon and during the night when it was charging. But it had 1% left when I removed and reseated battery this morning.

Could that be RIL related? I had a clean flash of 4.1 a week or something ago, then flashed build 5 over it without wiping, stock kernels only. Noticed that RIL that came with ROM was older, and my BB is 725. So two days before I installed 725 RIL for 10d using GetRIL.

I know that we should try out combinations, but I'm wondering is it even possible for RIL miss match to cause this?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Nothing to do with Ril. I've had bsod with every ROM I tried.

Sometimes kernel can make the difference. Try Spica's one.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Well that's the thing, my phone usually doesn't do that. Happened few times while trying out Spicas testbuilds, but that was rare and only with problematic versions when everyone was having the same thing. Well ok, at least I know to look further :good:
