ParanoidAndroid 2.5 testbuild 05 report

Hy there guys, Hy there tonyp !

Just posting here my experience with the new testbuild 05. I would post it over the Dev thread, but I'm new here, so don't have the permission yet "/

But anyways, enough with the talk already...

So, I downloaded the testbuild 05 yesterday in order to see the new things implemented and to give some feedback for tonyp. Overall the rom is stable, working like a charm with a couple drawbacks that I will list here. Note that I won't talk about the extra lockscreen options beacuse it has already been discussed in the Dev thread.

- Some time after I installed the testbuild I noticed that some SMS that I was receiving weren't vibrating the phone neither playing the notification sound. A reboot seemed to solve the problem.

- The last one that I noticed and that was enough for me to go back to build 04 was a problem during a phonecall. I received the call, everything ok. But the problem started when the proximity sensors didn't turned off the screen... So I didi it manually by pressing the power button. Then I decided to put the phone call in the speakers and this is where the weird thing started. The screen remain lit up until it turns off yourself, but instead of staying that way, it turned itself on right away... This loop of screen turning on by itself, turning off, turning on lasted 'till the end of the phone call.

Like I said, after the last bug happened I decided to go back to build 04. Unfortunatelly I don't have a logcat (fishslap I know :( ) but I think tonyp could use this little info for his polishing untill the release of the official build 05.

Thanks guys, and Happy B-day tonyp :victory:. Yes, a little late, but hey! It's still 2013 so it counts :D
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Unfortunately, no. Without logs I have no idea where to look for vague bugs like that.

If someone has a bug like "opening app xyz will FC" I can try to reproduce it and get a log myself.

But I never had this issue while calling so I can't look into it without a log..
[LG Optimus 2x] genemini:
fixed! thnx anyways :)

btw, im currently on v2.23 b8 for su660. can i upgrade it to v2.5?

and if so, what should i do? i already have the files needed but the ROM is failing on "assert" part while flashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Excuse me for my absence and rudeness, but what happened to hdmi fixing ?
[LG Optimus 2x] villur700:
Im pretty ****ing stupid and just flashed topyP's CM10 based [build 4] rom with the

NEW

bootloader and i can't get into recovery mode anymore, the phone is acting rather wierd, home button not working, google play not working and etc. What can i do now?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
PM:

Your partition map is probably destroyed, you need to NVFlash back.

Get the AIO toolkit (stickiyed thread in the dev section) and restore to your desired bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] villur700:
Hey,

Yeah sorry, after PMing i only noticed that theres a userthread in which i can post.

Thanks for the reply as well, but yet another problem has risen, i can't seem to get any connection between my computer and the phone via the USB cable(cause of the ROM's kernel which doesn't support USB?) so i cant really do anything with the AIO tool, maybe its worth mentioning that i have the official LG USB drivers installed, something related to that? The AIO tool also says make sure APX drivers are installed, but looking at another NVFlash thread it seems the APX drivers are going to be installed after you get a connection between the computer and the phone, am i right? Maybe i've missed something, but if someone could explain it step by step, to check if i haven't missed anything crucial it would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance,

Villur
[LG Optimus 2x] kingvortex:
Your phone doesn't need to be booted into Android to use nvflash. The tool that tonyp told you to use does have step by step instructions, so have another look at it ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34809475
[LG Optimus 2x] villur700:
Well thats what im trying to say is that im stuck in the step by step instructions in the AIO tool.

Heres what i did:

I installed the APX drivers

Went 1 - Backup/Restore Options -> Restore partitions (with NVFlash) -> Full restore ROM and Data (Kernel, System, Data)

And followed the instructions: took off battery and plugged in the micro usb cable while holding down volume buttons, then pressed C to continue

The programs says The phone will display a S/W download.. screen, blablabla

Nvflash started

USB device not found

An error occured, Read the above lines for details

**Remove the usb-cable from the phone. ***

press a key when ready and retry from step 2(being that plug in the cable while holding down the volume buttons)

So what i can conclude is that the computer still doesn't recognize the phone, it doesn't even show up in the device manager :/
[LG Optimus 2x] kingvortex:
You should be using option 4, not 1, I believe and try using a different USB port/cable (try a port directly connected to the motherboard).
[LG Optimus 2x] genemini:
im quite confuse o.O

if u already installed the APX drivers, meaning to say your computer were able to detect your phone on APX mode, ryt?

and you should see 'Nvidia boot-recovery...

in ur device manager.

unless ofc you did different method of installing it?
[LG Optimus 2x] villur700:
Well okay, but all the options use the same method aka remove battery, plug in while holding down both volume buttons, and my computer says nothing. Im using a port thats directly on the motherboard, i've even tried different ones. Maybe its a faulty cable? I haven't used it for mass storage for quite some time now, only used it for charging and it seems to do that just fine.

I installed the APX drivers from the AIO tool before doing anything. And no, my device manager doesn't even list the phone when its either turned on with debugging enabled or turned off and in its "special" recovery mode aka the batteryless mode, which the AIO tool uses to pretty much do most of its stuff. So yeah, maybe a faulty cable, i mean i haven't used mass storage for like half a year or so on it so idk, but it charges just fine. I'll edit this post later when i get my hand on someone elses android phone to check my cable if i can be arsed.

I noticed in tablet mode, the status bar is always there even when playing full screen games.

How do I get the status bar to be always there on phone mode?

No charging with screen on

I've noticed that when the screen is on the phone doesn't seem to charge (even with very moderate use) when AC plugged (everything fine when screen off, even overnight charging): is this the way it shoud be?

Thankx,

LGE_touch_threa

I'm on testbuild 5 old bootloader, but also on earlier builds I had the strange situation that the phone starts something called "LGE_touch_threa" with more or less full CPU power. I watched this also with "top" in a shell, and normally it will only go away with a reboot, "kill" did not seem wo work. Today a took a logcat (not that it seems to show more than that it uses all the CPU, but then, there must be more knowledgeable pepole than me), and it went away after some minutes.... Maybe someone could tell me, what this is. Thanks...
[LG Optimus 2x] coolacrille:
Sv: [Talk] ParanoidAndroid [Userthread]

Strange, charging seems perfect to me. First time it is in a JB rom on my phone actually.

Something which isn't perfect... is wifi disconnecting at random times. Sometimes it happens several times in a short time period and of course interrupts any online usage. Any tips for solving this?

Other than that, this is by far the best 4.0+ rom I've tried.
[LG Optimus 2x] al3x1393:
Phone shutting down

Hi. Today I flashed build 5 of ParanoidAndroid and I (re)found a problem (apparently I have this bug on any CyanogenMod 10+ rom). While using the phone, not being related to what I do (it happened once while playing Temple Run 2 and once while uploading something on Google Drive), my phone shows a message that it has 0% battery and shuts down. After I reboot it, it shows the correct percentage of battery (I suppose), but this bug occurs randomly again. Also it never occurred while staying in deep sleep.

Do you have any idea what can cause this problem?

Another good things to be mentioned:

- It never occurred on v30a stock or stock based roms;

- I have v30a baseband

EDIT: I found on a forum for GS that removing the external SD card solves this problem. I did it and for now I don't have this bug anymore, but I still want to use the SD....so if anyone has any idea what could cause this......

Hi guys, i'm on v3, can i flash the v5 directly or i need to be on v4 before?

No, just be sure to wipe cache partition and if you want to be really sure wipe system before flashing ..:p

Voice search

Anybody having problems with voice search?

I upgraded from build 4, perhaps I should try a clean install, if I'm the only one.

When making a phonecall everything is fine, but voice search and recorder don't respond at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingvortex:
It's a problem with the kernel included in build 5.

Clicking noise on calls with MARCH 2012 baseband, P999 CM9 ParanoidAndroid build 12

I have Paranoid Android CM9 build 12 for the P999/G2x with the MARCH 2012 baseband and I'm loving how smooth and stable this ROM is but I'm getting the same clicking sound I encountered before switching to the new baseband. No clicking when calling over Wi-fi. Has anybody else encountered this problem or a fix? Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Hello,

we can't help you about the P999 unfortunately as most people in this thread own a P990.

I think you should ask about help in this thread: G2x General > [How To] Fix popping/clicking on new/old baseband.
[LG Optimus 2x] misterblister:
Thank you very much for the cool ROM and the quick reply:) I'll look more to see if I can find a solution.

Hi!

Really liking this rom, but as with every 4.x rom on this device I am having serious data drops.

It suddenly turns into 3g but is stuck on loading forever. For this to be fixed I need to reboot.

I am running on a carrier that requires roaming... if that may be a problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] al3x1393:
Hi.

This morning I had a massive battery drain on the latest build :crying: . Without Wi-Fi on, running on 2G and doing absolutely nothing to the phone, just looking at the battery percentage, it was draining 1% in less than a minute. At 1%, looking at the battery stats, I saw that Display ate somewhere at 60% of battery. Auto brightness was off, my screen brightness was below 20% and auto rotate was also off.

So any ideas what could cause this drain?

I know that it was said that a battery drain means in 99.9% of cases that we have an app that does it, but the only app running at that time was Advanced Task Killer. Is it so harmful? o.O
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Android's battery stats are not very trustworthy, try BetterBatteryStats from here instead http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 . Try to avoid using task killers as they are known to interfere with Android's RAM management, which is quite advanced btw. Have a quick read on it here http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care .

On a different note:

It is simply incredible how the o2x runs on PA+Kowalski.. Every time i think that it cant get any better.. well.. it does! I wasnt v interested in the PA's DPI goodness (of course ill give it a try), i was just looking for an optimised CM10 based ROM and boy have i found it. First time I'm using one of your ROMs tonyp, and i must say im quite impressed. Thanx for your amazing work!

EDIT: I just LOVE the low vibration settings!!
[LG Optimus 2x] al3x1393:
thx....I will give it a try :)

Also I saw that this build doesn't come with alsa mixer addon. When I installed alsa mixer from playstore it said I need to install the addon. Should we do that? Or it had been removed for some reason?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, just let the app install everything.

I didn't see a reason to include the three Alsa files when the app can install them easily for those who want to use it.
[LG Optimus 2x] genemini:
Hello Tonyp,

will there be a PA 2.5 release compatible with su660? Im currently on your 2.23-b8 and quite smooth except for some occasional FCs and jitter in scrolling.

NOOB question on clock alarm

Is it supposed to automatically power on phone and ring me up? (it does not ...)

BTW, I installed build 5 over build 4 but it was not really satisfactory (several apps giving FC ...): no such problems after a clean install ...

any idea guys ?

Hello,everybody! My first post and im already nagging...:o

I've tried searching for the solution but i wasn't lucky.

I can't enter the system settings via menu key,it vibrates but nothing happens.

Using new bl ParanoidAndroid v2.6 - build 05. Is the problem in Xperia launcher??

BTW I'm very grateful for all the hard work being done for us noobs.
[LG Optimus 2x] flat__line:
I also noticed this: you should be able to access settings via the shortcut on one of the screens (may be Xperia launcher default configuration has a different use for the menu key )
[LG Optimus 2x] Vj3ko:
No problem accessing settings,but there is a perfectly good button for it that has no use....

Also no luck in assingning key actions in settings>system>hardware keys

Other than that the launcher is super fast and snappy.
[LG Optimus 2x] Welliesorter:
Edit: panic over. Tried rebooting again after another wipe of user data and it seems to be working, other than (obviously) losing user data.

Noob post and I hope it's not too dumb.

I've been using PA for a few weeks now and have been very impressed so far.

However, I seem to be one of the unlucky ones who's found the recent PA + Kowalski builds to cause multiple crashes, freezes and reboots.The back has been off my phone more times in two days to remove the battery than in the preceding 15 months. I've tried changing settings in the Performance Manager app but this then crashes at startup.

I've tried flashing the very latest PA build (6) and Kowalski nightly. It booted OK the first time but Performance Manager crashed again.

After booting again I could only get as far as the 'X' splash screen. After this first happened, I tried flashing various kernels (older versions that have worked before) and even gone back to build 4 of PA. I've also wiped the cache, dalvik and all user data but with the same results: no problem booting into CWM but can't get beyond the 'X' when attempting to start normally.

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? There are many 'Optimus 2X bricked' posts here but they're all pretty old and don't seem relevant.

I know this isn't the developers' fault - they can only test with what they have and they've done more for 2X owners in a few weeks than LG did in more than a year.

Phone still messed up

I still haven't been able to fix my problem caused by me flashing a rom with the new bootloader while having the old bootloader.

I still have no access whatsoever to my phone via USB. I can however load stuff to my external sd with a card reader if that somehow makes things easier. Im experiencing loads of different problems from not being able to recieve calls, home button not working, google play not working, stuff crashing and etc. Would a factory reset help/make things easier? Or is there something i can do via the terminal app? Im kinda lost and its frustrating as hell :/

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] rajdoll:
Did you try AIO Toolkit in the development section, try it to start afresh.

My Query - Pengus77 is suggesting that Fast charge bug on old bootloader has been fixed but seems like not for me. I'm on PA 4 with Pengus77 100p1 on old bootloader. I did notice that phone getting charged a bit faster but no where comparable when I start charging in the switched-off state. Just to give a perspective, in switched-off state, almost 90-100 seconds charge 1% whereas if start charging once the phone is on then it takes about 180-200 second for every 1%. So it is still almost double the amount of time. Can anyone else confirm the same behavior?

[LG Optimus 2x] rajdoll:
Some you can directly update from market, no need for any wipes, but if you are talking about flashing some other compaitable gapps zip, then just wiping cache should be good enough.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

As tonyp said, build 6 is more of Build 5 with non overclocked kowalski kernal, just to take care of random BSODs some people experiencing.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Wrong.

But come on guys, don't you read the thread? I have posted the change log in there.

If you're using a custom rom you always should subscribe to the topic and read it regularly...
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
the problem that i have with subscribing and reading is, that it always goes to the first or last page, but not to the one with the first unread post, and i found nothing that would do so, unless the app ;)

thus, i can not guarantuee that i read everything, although i want to ;)

Lock Screen

OT - Why so much energy and effort on lock screen implementations? I don't understand or may be I'm missing something, why do we need a lock screen, apart from those obvious reasons of security, where you think someone will have a peek or in case of loss, but these are like worth taking the risk to avoid that unnecessary swipe action every time you unlock your phone. I don't use lock screen and it feels so convenient directly jumping to your last App. I might be in minority but I see effort being spent on making it more fancy, feel like expression an opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Well I think it's a option and lots of people asked about about it.

It still needs some improvement, but there I do agree with you, it's not worth my time at the moment. Maybe after all my exams if I feel like messing with animation timer settings and stuff like that.

Please note that the lockscreen selection will not mess with or cause any instability or the default lockscreen.

I did not change any line of code for the default one, as long as you don't set up a different one nothing will change.

But see, that's the problem with creating a rom. Everyone will still ask for something else, there's no possible way to satisfy everyone.

So I came to a pretty easy way of handling that: I build it the way I want it to have.

If there's a popular demand I might add it depending on the amount of work it requires and how good it's possible to integrate into the current setup.

The lockscreen selection is such a feature.

Do a NVFlash and start completely fresh.

The aio toolkit offers an option for that as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] rajdoll:
Anyone to confirm the above?

@tonyp, your view from the conversation you have had with Pengus when he concluded it to be fixed. had the testers tried and compared the way I explained above?

GAPPS

I've installed the Lite version of Gapps:

I wanted to try Google now: it told me a new version is available from store but install failed due to signatures mismatch (and, I read in PA OP that Lite Version does not support Now). Is it safe to reinstall one of the complete gapps packages (mentioned in PA OP) over the Lite one, and, should I get the same message, uninstall the app (may be with Titanium) and reinstall the newest version from store?

How come you ventured into flashing ROMs without computer connection, brave!! . Not sure whether you can, but try factory reset restoring the original stock LG GB ROM and if you can get that then I would suggest try fixing the phone/pc connection first before doing any customization.

The USB connection just randomly stopped working one day and i've been using a card reader since then, i've made like several posts in this thread now trying to explain to people that i get no connection between my computer and the phone for some reason, the cable is fine tho, confirmed it with another android phone.

Gestures would be a launcher thing, you could for example use ADW.ex. I won't start to write such a function to Trebuchet :D

I didn't include it because I hope the browser fix isn't needed anymore with the hwasettings app. My fix breaks flash in the browser (I heard, I don't use flash), with the new app you can toggle it the way you want.
