Update:

Phone was not really bricked. Tap-tap-tapped to get developer stuff, got adb and recovered a recent backup. Unfortunately, clockwork does not backup the sdext but the wipe formats it! Even made it ext4--ok by me. But neither I nor link2sd can write to that file system! Maybe it is not really ext4? Link2sd "made" that script, failed to make an ext3 choice. Unholy pain.

Reinstalled Play, Titanium and can recover everything I want step by tedious step but am crippled without a writeable sdext. Got Sdmaid back am and trying to get all my data space back. I can only reinstall a fraction of what I had.

Swap: Went back to beta4. Problem is older than that! That is why certain things were too laggy. If it be compiled in the kernel, maybe I need to mount it in a script now--tell me how!

Since things I need on the recovered system are not available, might as well go back to that nightly?

Anyway, miserable, frustrating opportunity for Spring cleaning. If I have not used it recently, it stays off.

Any and all advice appreciated mucho

==================

Second Update:

Because nothing was any better with recovered backup or with beta4, put back 18.4 ROM. Runs OK.

Offline charging: nice to have that back! Animation does not show current charge level and I am over 90%. Screen goes off quickly, hard to bring up again. And lo and behold, I was back in full boot, without having requested any such thing. Soooo still quite buggy!

# Icon for updated superuser. Where do I get it. Can certainly install!

So far, I have restored play, titanium, drive, maps, streetview, dsbatterysaver, gallery2, homeflip -- most placed on sdcard by link2sd (chose that option meanwhile). I have 47.5 meg data space which will allow me to put a few smaller apps back, but this link2sd thing has me down. I was always the one sooo successful with this. Comeupance, I suppose :)

Since I can do nothing with adb shell, how might I modify the mount script (I keep it on /data/local/userinit.d) to get that thing writable. It certain says "rw."

The lagginess reported by some folks is due to lack of swap! With only smaller apps running, no problem at all. This needs be addressed. I do not know when the problem began, maybe with beta4, maybe in the ROMs.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Update:

WIth 18.4 ROM, so far so good. Got a good many of my apps (only those recently used!) restored. If have 39meg of internal space without any link2sd linking (this still does not work, sdext not writable from app or adb shell!). The only other major bug around is lack of swap which effects performance.

Other bugs:

Accessibility and active, default keyboard settings seem not preserved on reboot. Confirm they are NOT preserved!

Some "start on boot" stuff does not. Confirmed, they do not start!

Xpose/framework does not work (not the end of the world but this is a nice alternative to Paranoid!).

Overlays worked, then quit working. FCs whenever trying to overlay.

Voice stuff works without /system/usr/srec! (Unless it is finding a renamed copy on my sdcard, no symlink).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Further update:

Tried the 17.4 nightly and now the 21.4 nightly. No change! Just had problem keeping the notifications drawer down but could be a fluke, was OK.

This bug of not keeping the keyboard options and services on reboot is a pain. Diagnostic: If I enable one service, ALL that had been on get turned on.

OK, easy enough to click on each start-on-boot program to get it going. Must do it for battery life. The only one that starts up itself is Smart Keep Screen On, may also be indicative. Anyone else experiencing this and solved it?

The swap issue is easy not to notice, has been going on a while now!, but when apps are running and the phone gets laggy and one wonders why ... Also needs fix or work-around.

The Overlays problem is being addressed by its dev.

I like Xpose but can live well enough without it.

So really need some means to enable write to /data/sdext2. Mount script says mount -o rw but it is listed in mounts as ro, sure enough. Worse comes to worse, redo the whole sdcard (go to a bigger and better one while at it). That will not prevent a recurrance, however.

One thing this has given me: When I get link2sd linking again, I will try to refrain from linking dex's. They must all fit on /data to rebuild the dalvik cache so may as well keep them there. One can load and load more apps but then maintainance, i.e. flashing new ROMs becomes a big and dangerous task. Without sdext, I have 10-15 meg to play with, can choose (wisely) some more apps to have around but not all the stuff I had before. I lived ok with only 20+ meg available on internal in the past.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] palswim:
This Google Apps package crashes (force close) for me. Are you sure that I can put Google Apps for 4.2.2 on the 4.1.2 OS?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Make sure you keep phonesky and gmscore on the /system/app/

You can use the new playstore posted last week. Should work fine. Both will auto-update in the future.

If after flashing or such, the thing FCs, try clearing its data.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
More update, interesting diagnostics:

1. Presently running the 18.4 ROM, still having more than occasional problems keeping the notifications drawer down.

2. Have not solved the /data/sdext2 read-only filesystem problem. Would be nice to have an fsck around. I tried changing the mount-script and that prevented mounting at all. Android came up sans all the widgets. All the keyboards were checked active for a big change

3. Keyboard default was not kept. Other defaults not necessarily kept either, i.e. homeflip's fallback launcher. Not related to above.

4. Still had to reactivate one service (which activates all of them) and manually start all the apps as has been the problem with these nightlies.

The fact that no sdext mount, filesystem had been formatted and was empty, changed so much on boot may be indicative of something.

Otherwise, the ROM performs fine and I have 40meg dataspace to put on a few more apps, wisely chosen. I hope our fearless team is working some of these problems. They seem to propagate over flashes so even going back to rc0 might not help (and would not fix the sdext problem).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mixednuts:
Have you tried creating the EXT partition on a computer using an SD card reader?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Good idea. I do not have one but not hard to come by.

Are partitions created/formatted/acted-upon using such a reader on my Linux box compatible with Android's (should be, should they not?)?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ktp1976:
Ext2/3/4 is the same for linux and android. Which ext version you have to use depends on your int2ext script.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rr0yy:
I tried everything from e2fsck to partition repair through amonRa.

I even tried many previous roms and scripts.. but once ext filesystem is corrupt due to bad sector.. repairing is quite difficult. ( If you dont want to delete it and re-create the partition).

I will try formatting and repairing it through windows app like gparted etc.. and if required.. give a last try with linux. Stil if it doesnt work.. then no other option than deleting and re-creating.

how to track changes in the jenkins builds?

the changes.txt file doesnt state latest changes.

or the latest changes are the upmost changes in changes.txt? but then are they not same from the 11.4 build? or i havent noticed?

builds 'started by timer' upload automatically and afaik and understand, they do not actually have any changes, or maybe major changes, correct if Im wrong.

the last build started by a user was 16.4 started by andromeda. there are two builds on 16.4. earlier one uploaded by timer and latter one uploaded by andromeda. i still cant find difference in the changes.txt file.

also. build 20.4 has battery issues, drains really fast.

and deep sleep doesnt work if i enable quit hours.

didnt had that issue in 11.4 build (quit hours not tested).

has anyone noticed significant battery improvements in builds after 20.4 ?

by the way, twrp 2.3.3 solved my alien wifi problem. thanks to eveyone who helped. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Get good battery life on both 18.4 and 21.4 nightlies. This depends on manually restarting dsbatterysaver after boot since this stuff does not get auto-started on these nightlies. Paid version can shut wifi, gps and gsm when screen is off to save battery. I also have a short screen turnoff time and use the smart keep screen on app. This orginally did auto-start but now I must do this manually as well. Ditto for Y5.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
Build here.

Kernel here.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
average usage with wifi bluetooth gps off permanently. i still experienced battery drain though deep sleep worked.

gonna try 16.4 builds. it has speakerphone fixed. Then report back on battery issues.

[MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION] you're the man! thanks :D

and btw, offline charging works in recent builds :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Update:

I redid my sdcard, have the sdext and link2sd working again. Done with that. Use it more responsibly to make it easier to flash.

I thought that the messed partition was responsible for varioius bugs. OK, now it seems to remember the accessibility->services settings and maybe, just maybe, they get launched. Defaults are still not remembered and start-on-boot apps (other than such services) are mostly not being started up. Keyboards are not remembered. So many little problems remain with this ROM which is otherwise quite good. Did not effect missing swap.

Apollo FCs. I removed it and placed Google's player instead (now that I have a few more meg to work with) which does work. Was once able to long-press a song and make it a ringtone. Cannot do this any more. Manually copied it to ringtones.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarus_b:
I don't know how u face such bugs but for me there is no bug related to keyboads and startup services.

All settings are saved as it is.

im using the 22.04 nightly.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] emyller:
BLUETOOTH status

I just tested and BLUETOOTH SUPPORT IS ALMOST COMPLETE.

File transfer - WORKS

Call audio I/O - WORKS

A2DP (media) - NOT WORKING (output is directed to speaker/wired headset)

Tethering - NOT TESTED (not fully tested, it seems that Ubuntu doesn't support it outta the box)

I wish I had time to play at the code, but I already have too much of Python/HTML5 going on here. Anyway, good luck devs. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Actually the thing rebooted on me while I was linking an app. When it came back up, more things were saved, still not 100% but much more usable. I was wondering if anyone else had such problems. Any, my first wipe since upgrading from Froyo to ICS started all these problems. Something to be said.

What are the merits of the 22.04 nightly over 21.04 or 18.04? I see no more recent commits.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
Also BT-mouse works too.

I confirm this.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarus_b:
There aren't any changes. The jenkins server is set to build every night. More details on timers are on server.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
bluetooth tethering doesnt work and neither does wifi tethering. both says turning on but never do.

But with rashed'd cm10 bluetooth tethering works pretty fine, wifi tethering doesnt work though, says turning on but never turns on.

An update on my alien wifi problem. it wasnt corrected.

Im still facing the problem. But i do have a possible culprit.

Mr. Titanium Backup. I dont restore wifi passwords though. just a few apps. but im totally guessing. Have taken backups with kaush's carbon app. but when i reflashed the 22.4 rom and 24.4 rom as well, i couldnt see my wifi even in before the gmail account sign in screen. it has hapened before too and i have no idea why. :|
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
in the meantime you can just change the dpi, that fixed it for me.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rakeshdas:
What if you add your network manually or download a WiFi management app from Google Play temporarily ?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Thread cleaned. Please stay on topic. Non development things should be discussed in Q&A thread.

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kokesh:
I'm on 20130420 and have the top bar shifted few pixels down, so there is space above and you can see through.

Was this fixed in later nightlies?

I know I've read somewhere in this thread, that this may have happened with some earlier builds and was supposed to disappear after first reboot. I have newer build and the problem remains even if I reboot hundred times :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
No it hasn't been fixed till now. And the problem does not disappear after a reboot but after the phone goes into sleep once.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Sandipkim:
No, not sleep just screen off just For a sec will work!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
lock and unlock the phone and it goes away
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kokesh:
Thank to you all, Lock/unlock helped.

But now I am facing another, this time more serious problem:

When WiFi gets turned off, it doesn't turn on anymore, until reboot.

I know back in the day I think with CM9 this used to be issue for people who flashed incompatible ROMs over each other without wiping the device, but this ain't my case. I did wipe absolutely everything.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Turning the screen off makes the phone go into sleep only :rolleyes:

I have no such issue. I'm using the 26/27-04 build(the build date was 27th but the file name said 26th)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
Yes, the new builds dont have that problem, also, pie controls are now working on the new build.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
After redoing sdcard, and a spontaneous reboot, yes, all of this works now. A couple of on-starts still do not start, however, not end of the world. Maybe I'll delete their data or reinstall them. I have put back much of my phones functionality now, ROM works well. I have many fewer apps around but less internal space left than before. Who knows?

The only real issue now is swap! Need to get this back working. If it be an issue of a init.d mount, anyone know how? Otherwise, needs get recompiled into the kernel.

Nice having back off-line charge but lived fine without it all this time. As I said, does not indicate current charge level (until done).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kokesh:
I'm on 27(26th nightly) and have it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Umm i don't see any option pie controls. :/ How did you turn it on?

Edit

Never mind, figured it out. Had to enable nav bar first. Was using LMT so had ignored it.

Edit2

Wait now the option shows up but it still doesn't work :(

Well that's weird. Did you try reflashing?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shinobisoft:
Pie controls are supposed to work in conjunction with expanded desktop. I've also read that a reboot is required to get them working.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
After enabling the navigation bar and rebooting the phone, just enable the pie controls, enable expanded desktop and try the pie controls from the bottom of the screen, you have to do it slowly and from the exact middle of the screen so they work but they aren't recommended. ._. !
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Okay CM Pie Controls officially suck. I'll stick to LMT.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] nomancoolboy:
Amazing deep sleep on Jenkins build
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] angelgzg:
in the 27-04 build in speaker Jenkins is solved, and solved the problem a little moved the top bar

SPEAKER = WORKS

: D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
Yep, in airplane mode 1% for 9 hours (e.g. 0.1% per hour).

More than week ago if you talking about speakerphone.

How about splitted screen till / after boot?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Left4DeadMW:
There is 4.2.2 stable build by jenkins you know?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
The status bar problem is still there.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] hariraj96:
reapply a theme , the ui crashes and then everything becomes fine
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Left4DeadMW:
When you say status bar problem you mean that glitch on boot till lockNunlock or?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] angelgzg:
I meant that the problem with the top bar on the top IT RESOLVED build
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
And a warm welcome and round of applause to one of your favorite developers :D

I'm back ;) Couldn't resist the urge now that I updated Ubuntu to 13.04

2704 build was 113 MB and 3004 build is 104 MB.

Why such a big difference? Was some cleanup done for the rom?

EDIT: Kindly ignore me. I didn't noticed that 2704 build is with mini gapps.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
the latest build added a feature to the camera were you can take a picture by shouting "cid", "whisky" or "cheese" but I couldn't make it work.

OK guys, can you explain something. I never check this thread, because thread's name didn't change for a long time. but I see a lot of action here. And now, when I checked it- I saw, that the development is going on. So where you get new versions? Who is developing it?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] kokesh:
http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/android/?

Actually: Rashed - can you add the link to the OP?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] strongiukas:
thanks! But how this website works? I want to see only for my device, not for all others :) And I want to find the latest one.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Actually, why not separate thread for jb4.2.2 builds? OP title is a little misleading, and for quite a while most thread activity is about Jenkins? That, or maybe update OP to relevant stuff...

Hey guys

Do you know that Our phone Optimus One is used in the movie IRON MAN 3 ! such a great honor to 2 years old device ! Optimus one was used by the Happy Hogan (the body guard of Tony Stark) .He was capturing photos from optimus one !

By the way ......

Sorry for off topic
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zeratos:
ah, so that's why I couldn't make it work hehe, I'm missing the voice search app :p

thanks for the info

EDIT:

could anyone tell me which apps do I need to make voice search work?

thanks in advance
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shikherg:
though the way might be available in discussion thread

afaik, you must have the voice recognition files by rashed (see his signature) and for that you need to super trim the rom, still using rashed's gaaps, don't use minimal gaaps rahulsby posted since it's missing the lib files required. correct me if I'm wrong.

the offline voice rec. zip file is around 22mb so you'll need to trim around 32 33mb of unzipped data from rom.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Offline voice rec is for ARMv7.

Online voice rec will work on our phones (old VoiceSearch, apps that use it, voice-search-assistant gets it into Google Now). And ist actually works without that usr/srec folder. Anyway, I place that on sdext and symlink it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
So have I missed anything important recently?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Not really, but I have a question. Before putting development on hold, you mentioned that you were waiting for 5.0. Android version 5.0? I assume you plan to build it? No, I don't watch the news much :p

sent from the p509 that I thought I killed again... no trouble at all :cool:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] gabrielking9:
"Android 5.0" is not out, they not even released the Google I/O yet
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Crewnshaw:
Its supposed to be 4.3 Jelly Bean, and not 5.0.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] bubu2001:
please post link for good gapps to work with the rom.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] FitAmp:
Please use search.

Thanks ~
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
Yeah. I'm assuming that will be at Google I/O in a few days since they haven't released a major version in over 18 months.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] gabrielking9:
I prefer it be 4.3 i don't think it is time to make big change to we can still port to our legacy devices :p but seriously i think just in end of year or next year they will do it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rahulsby:
Use 4.2.2 gapp. For link See my signature
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] wazzanz69:
I know this is probably OT. But has anyone noticed that the latest builds on jenkins for May 1 2013 are cm10.1-rc0
