I have not had that problem but that does not mean much. I use the swipe method but in the past had used a brightness control on the panel. There could be some bug around here, don't know.

There is some confusion here. What "auto-brightness?" I brightness toggle or control means one sets it manually. Swiping also sets it manually. I do not believe there is an auto-brightness available on this phone because there is no sensor for it.

WiFi Tether Build 7 CM10

Hey there since this is a discussion and since I can't post this in the developing forum (lack of posts) I would assume I can ask this here.

I'm running on my LG P500 (obviously), running CM10 Build 7 Final

I've searched Google and several forums on related issues towards WiFI tethering. I searched on related posts such as the new Baseband update for the LG P500, JellyBean, CM10 and this particular build but I'm completely stuck.

I've re-installed the ROM, tried several Tethering programs (Even this fix for the WiFi Tether app) and I've had no prevail.

When I was running on Froyo I had no problems tethering my cell phone's internet, was hitting 5 mbps+ on the go and I was very pleased. It's one of the features I use most since I have a Generic Android Tablet that I use on the go with no Bluetooth and only WiFi. I am also moving soon and plan on using this connection as my main source for internet till I sign up for a High-Speed plan.

What really confuses me though is that in the Changelog it states that Build 6/RC2 had fixed WiFi Tethering. Now I am not a fan of downgrading to a previous versions of Firmwares especially if the fixes in the latest version are much more promising, so I'd like to know has anyone dealt with this issue?

I also apologize if this issue has been resolved and that I'm only asking a repetitive question. I have searched in fact and I do not feel like going through 419 pages of the Development thread, could someone possibly enlighten me?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that it gets stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..." even when I have WiFi on or off before hand.

You need to at least state what rom you flashed, in order to get an accurate answer. But if you are running cm10 build 7, then no. Wifi tether did not work for me.

Triming ROM and APK files....

Dear all,

Following my last post, I have been reading up on trimming of the CM10 ROM zip file as well as the Trebuchet.APK file, so that I have some more space on the /system area.

Just to confirm that I have understood the procedure correctly, I am listing out the procedure here. Please correct me if I am wrong...

Open the CM10 ROM Zip file using WinRAR (I am on Windows XP)

Select and pull out the Trebuchet.APK file out of the Zip file and drag it onto the Desktop.

Now open the Trebuchet.APK file also using WinRAR.

Now delete the individual unwanted items from this Trebuchet.APK file. (I only intend to delete the wallpapers) Once done, close.

Delete the Trebuchet.APK file from the CM10 ROM Zip file.

Now move the edited Trebuchet.APK file from the Desktop into the CM10 ROM Zip file.

The same procedure is to be repeated for other .APK files to be trimmed.

Then open the modified ROM Zip file in OOne ROM Editor and convert some of the apps to user apps.

Then the ROM ZIP file can be flashed as per usual procedure.

I am mainly doing this because LinkToSD is not working on my phone, and I am severely troubled for lack of space. I am not able to install even 1/3rd of the apps I had installed when the phone was running stock Gingerbread.

I read up on the earlier posts, that liberating some space will enable LinktoSD to work propertly (i.e. create the Mount Script properly, which is not happening now). So I hope at the end of this re-flashing, LinkToSd will work propertly and I will no longer have space issues.

Please let me if there is anything else I can do or trim.

Thanks,

Venkat
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
Sounds like you have the idea. However, OOne ROM Editor is designed specifically to do just what you are trying to do without needing to open multiple zips at once. Link is in my signature if you're interested. ;)

EDIT:

:silly: Oops. Didn't notice you were already using OOne ROM Editor. :cool: :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mixednuts:
Assuming that you repackage the APKs correctly, then that's fine. You can also flash the ROM, that you already trimmed using bill's tool, first (before gapps) and use a recovery file manager to delete / replace apps as desired. Pre-trimmed Trebuchet is available for convenience...

MixedNuts,

I have 2 queries based on your post....

What can I do wrong in "repackaging the APK file" ?? Is there some potential mistake or procedural error I need to keep in mind. Have I missed out a "step" in the procedure as I listed it above ??

I doanloaded the trimmed Trebuchet.APK that you pointed me to. Is this only missing the wallpapers or other functionality as well ?? Is there a list of items / features that have been removed from this APK, or do I have to do an item by item comparison ??

Thanks again all for your prompt responses.

Bill,

I did not mention that I was using the OOne ROM Editor when I initially made the post (and which you quoted). I realised it and edited and added it. The mistake is mine.

Also, thanks for making the tool. It makes life that much easier for the newbies like me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mixednuts:
I'm no expert, so I try to avoid repacking APKs as I don't want to bother with FCs, but in general you have to zip them up again as storage only... that's if your extracting the APK to modify it. If you're deleting stuff within the APK directly, using 7 Zip for example, and not extracting it, then you should be fine granted that you don't delete anything that would make the APK force close on you.

As for Trebuchet - all that's been removed are wallpapers and I believe xHDPI stuff that wouldn't be of much use on our device.... functionality / features are all there. The build7 test version is a-okay and more recent as well... I'll need to update that post soon to reflect that.

Only one alarm tone

I am having only a single alarm tone i.e. CyanoAlarm as an option for the Alarm apart from Silent. Am unable to pick another file.

Is this also because of the insufficient space issue and still bloated /system ? Ideally this should not be a problem once I reflash, correct ??

Thanks again.

Nope, rashed trimmed out all the other ringtones and alarms, in an effort to save space. They can be saved to sdcard, and the system will find them automatically :)

sent from the p509 that I thought I killed again... no trouble at all :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
Rashed moved the ringtones to the "Extras" folder in the original ROM zip. If you are using OOne ROM Editor to trim the ROM first, OOne ROM Editor does NOT include this folder in the output ROM. As ibub stated, media files ( ie; ringtones ) can be moved to the sdcard as the system will detect them there too. I think Rashed moved some of the fonts to the "Extras" folder too.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vpidroid:
Ibub and Bill....

I have other ringtones on my SD CARD in a separate folder titled "Ringtones" which was automatically created. I copied some ringtones here. But the DeskClock application does not allow me to select another ringtone for the Alarm application.

However, I am able to select other ringtones from the same SD CARD folder for the incoming call ringtone etc.

Why is this ???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] post-mortem:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
Are you not given an option to specify which application to use to choose the new ringtone with?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vpidroid:
i just copied the older ringtones I had onto the "Ringtones" folder which was created on the SD Card after the CM10 flash. I copied them by attaching the phone to the computer and using the USB storage mode.

Now for "Phone Ringtone", it is allowing me to select from any of the default ones or the ones I have copied.

But in the "Alarm Ringtone" setting in the Desk Clock application, the only 2 options I have are CyanAlarm and Silent.

This is what is happening.

I am not presented any option / screen to link ringtone to a particular application.

NOTE:

The ringtones I have copied are .MP3 files.

Yes. I converted it to a User App using OOne ROM Editor.

OK. Like I mentioned, the ringtones I copied are .MP3 files. I will try with some .ogg files and report back.

It works.

It needs OGG files and in the /SDCARD/Alarms folder. Thats all.

Good point. I didn't see any reference to an app though. This implies stock alarm/clock for me. And it should be used by other apps as well. So lets see if it works. Sorry for being little bit rude.

Edit: just saw the post above. Seems to work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
No they don't ever get installed/flashed. There is a bash script written for it but I don't think that it ever gets executed. Since the "Extras" folder is just that, Extras, I opted not to include that folder in the build output by OOne ROM Editor.

What approch for space ??

Hello all,

I wanted your opinions on what approach I should adopt to solve the severe space crunch I am facing. Right now, I am unable to install any software from Google Play as I am out of space. In fact, I don't even have Maps installed.

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

Following is the list of apps that I have downloaded and installed on my P500.

Whatsapp 11.8 MB

Gmail 6.36 MB

Air Control 3.96 MB

2x Battery 3.53 MB

Gtasks 3.45 MB

Gingerbread keyboard 2.19 MB

App Cache Cleaner 1.11 MB

Docs Viewer 820 KB

Explorer 472KB

Notes 324 KB

Android Music 224 KB (Music player...since I trimmed out Apollo)

CPU Spy 56 KB

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

Apart from the above, there are the other apps which show up in the Downloaded list as I converted them to User Apps using OOne ROM Editor.

Email 8.03 MB

Browser 5.75 MB

Gallery 4.23 MB

Exchange Services 2.91 MB (This could have been deleted. I missed it)

Clock 1.21 MB

Calculator 0.93 MB

Sound Recorder 112 KB

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

Also, the following two show up in the Downloaded apps section

Google Play Store 10.99 MB

Google Play Services 7.98MB

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

As you can see, apart from Whatsapp, all the apps I have downloaded, are really lightweight. Earlier, I had lot more software, including Angry Birds, Maps, and a host of other stuff.

Now, it says I only have around 27 MB free out of the 200 MB. This is a bad situation.

Is this happening because I converted some apps into user apps and that has eaten into the 200 MB ?? This seems to be a Catch-22 situation. If I do not convert apps to user apps, then /system runs out of space and phone does not work properly. If I convert to user apps, then, I am left with no space to install additional apps.

I was hoping LinktoSD will work. But that is not working either for some reason. It gives me a Mount Script error. Now I read in a number of posts on this thread that this error is due to insufficient space in /system.

THE THING IS .... IT DOES NOT ADD UP TO 200 MB, ....which is what I do not understand.

Now if I reflash with the trimmed Trebuchet.APK which will save a lot of space, and subsequently remove the LatinIME keyboard and replace with the Gingerbread keyboard which I prefer, will that liberate enough place on /system ??

Will this approach work ???

Would like your opinions on how to resolve this issue.

Thanks all,

Regards,

Venkat
[Optimus One, P500, V General] post-mortem:
Use OOne ROM Editor to remove as much as possible.

Wipe /cache, /data, and /system.

Flash ROM. Do not flash Gapps.

Boot up. Install Mounts2SD, set it up and run it. (Your SD card is properly partitioned & formatted, right??) Reboot, make sure everything's working fine (check free space in Mounts2SD).

Flash trimmed Gapps from recovery, if desired.

I recommend against trying to migrate from Link2SD to any other *2SD solution, as Link2SD is actually kind of hard to remove (it puts several scripts in several places). Wipe everything & install fresh. The *2SD script will allow you to have more space available on /data, so you don't have to worry so much about having many user apps installed.

WiFi broken

i guess compared to some people im a newbie.... but ive been flashed a lot of roms. anyway....

LG p500h

cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p500

new baseband

Wi-Fi tether says... "turning on Wi-Fi"

then the phone reboots.

I had it working with previous ROMS ... and previous builds of this ROM. I really like this ROM but I need Wi-Fi tether.

I used barnacle tether and for some reason it works with I phones but not my android tablet... but it says " skip WPA_supplicant" failed to start supplicant

if anyone has advice I will thank you... Rashed if by some miracle you see this ... your development rocks... I just need tethering. thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vpidroid:
post-mortem,

Thanks for your detailed response.

I did something probably stupid though. Before the re-flash, I just thought I'd take a look at Mounts2SD. So installed Mounts2SD. It installed and then configured Busybox and the init.d script.

I checked the storage situation. My space was immediately liberated. However, the CyanogenMod file manager stopped working, meaning, it says the root folder is now invalid. However, Settings>>Manage Apps now shows 97 MB free in internal storage !!!! And all my apps continued to work.

So I was very happy.

However, I am now unable to download and install anything from Google Play. It gives me an Error 492.

I then tried the solution mentioned in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1814951

- setting / applications / manage applications

- select "all"

- tap "Google Play Store"

- clear cache

- clear data

- back to list

- tap "Google Services Framework"

- clear cache

- clear data

- boot into CWM

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik-cache

- reboot

However, this also does resolve the problem.

The phone is ok. All apps and settings are OK. Except I get an error when I try to download anything from Google Play. The error comes immediately after I tap on "INSTALL"

How do I resolve this now ??

Hopeful for a fix..because if this works, then I will NOT NEED to flash my phone at all.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Venkat

Apps to SD Card

Hey,

Just got CM10 installed on my p500 for the first time. I'm a bit confused by the lack of "Move to SD Card" functionality that I had in CM7. Is it correct this this functionality has been deliberately excluded from CM10?

If so, I'm trying to understand the work arounds seeing as our phones have such a small memory. I believe I need to have an ext4 partition on my SD Card. I think I've created that with Clockwork Recovery. Can anyone please point me to a tutorial where I can see what I have to do next? Or if I'm understanding this completely wrong please correct me.

From what I can gather in the above messages I need to install Mount2SD for this functionality. I've done a fresh install followed by installing Mount2SD. When I first load it I am told I need to configure both BusyBOx and the Init.d scripts. However both of these things fail. For example busyBOx says "BusyBox could not be configured". Any ideas?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mixednuts:
Don't use CWM to create your EXT4 partition... you can try TWRP or use the SD card directly with a PC and create using a tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Beaksterboy:
Thanks, I'm trying this now. Any suggestions on what size of a swap partition I should make? Also is there a performance hit by using the SD card for apps/data/swap?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
512 MB should suffice, that really depends on the size of your sdcard. I use 1024 MB( 1 GB ) for my ext partition on my sdcard formatted as Ext4.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Beaksterboy:
Well it seems that Mount2SD and Google Play Store are incompatible.

If I install CM10, then Mount2SD it appears ok, but then when I try to install Google Play Store the installation goes smoothly but when the phone boots up the icon isn't there.

If I install CM10, then Play Store, I can use the play store fine. If I think try to install Mount2SD I get error messages when Mount2SD loads.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
That may actually be an issue with Mounts2SD then. I'd try asking in that thread too. I've not had any problems with Mounts2SD or Link2SD. I am currently using Link2SD and haven't looked at Mounts2SD in a couple months tho.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Beaksterboy:
So I'm trying to go through this install again and I seem to be having major problems getting the Google Play Store to install.

I've done a clean CM10 install after a factory reset, loaded it up and done the basic setup of wifi pass and google account. Then I reset and try to install just the Google Play Store and Service from Tantrum's package. But after the install, which seems to go fine, I don't have the icons in my launcher. Any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shinobisoft:
I think the problem may be the GApps package. If you are using Rasheds CM10 build, you should be using these GApps instead. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Beaksterboy:
So I just tried:

Used OneRom to remove foreign keyboards and a few apps and widgets I don't need from cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p500.

Factory Reset

Installed cut down cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p500

Booted and went through wizard to put account and wifi settings in

Went back to Recovery and installed the mount2sd

Rebooted a couple of times and made sure the mount2sd appeared to be working correctly

Installed the lite GApps linked above from recovery mode and rebooted

The GApps don't show up in launcher, no sign of Play Store.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm going to try installing the GApps before Mount2sd now

--Edit: I think I've got it now. I think the problem was that I wasn't Erasing /system and it was a bit messed up from previous attempts. It seems that factory reset doesn't reset /system in TeamWin, there is a separate button for that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Stone7:
I'm a little confused. What is the latest stable CM10.1 release? I have the third build that Rashed posted in the deleted thread but I know that there are some new builds on jenkins. Any changes for the better in any of those? What about Arjen's?

CM10 ROMs must be trimmed before flashing -- read a zillion posts on this. Gapps can also be trimmed, i.e. anything that can be installed from Play does not belong on /system. You need enough room to flash gapps with some to spare. You do not need a load of spare space but "some."
