[LG Optimus 3D] samno:
The whole idea of this is to fix people's phone's of who'm flashed the SU760 ICS leak but this will be useful to us in the future incase ICS drop's with a major bug or something, then atleast we will then have an option of getting back to Gingerbread. I've attached a picture to the end of the post so you can recognise when the bootloader & other vital partition's being written to, the second image shows no bootloader flash(as what occurs in all p920 firmwares i've flashed).

For SU760 Users

For SU760 users there is a way already discovered on another forum. By flashing V10G they have been able to go back to Froyo/Gingerbread Roms. I've tryed this on my P920 and gets me to recovery but I am unable to boot into Android. The .bin files are attached at he bottom of the post. If you then have imei problems see this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 then you should be back on gingerbread. This is completely untested by me and may bork your phone so you've been warned.

For P920 Users

I have yet to come across a firmware that unbricks or flashes any bootloaders or partition tables, so I have made one for you guys.

So now i've made our own recovery .bin by injecting GPT1 & modified header into an image, it has been confirmed that this method works but I cannot guarantee this will work as intended for you.

Instructions

-Flash The Modified .Bin Or 10G For SU760 User's Using LGFlashTool.

-Then Flash Any Other Froyo/Gingerbread KDZ Or .Bin Immediately Afterwards.

-Boot Up In Recovery & Do A Full Factory Reset.

-Then In Theory You Should Have Reverted Back To Previous OS.

Information

This is confirmed working on the P920 model! This is for people who have either attempted to flash the SU760 ICS leak, want to revert back to gingerbread or don't care about flashing experimental stuff.

Samno i think you should start with HK V10A.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHKGML/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz

I remember that i bought my O3D with v10B i had another update (i think August was v10D ) and after that v10K ..
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
Cant find a link but i think V18A was GB Beta LGP920AT-00-V18a-AMA-XXX-OCT-28-2011 maybe someone might have it backed up

[LG Optimus 3D] rezzsha:
i think what samno is trying to do is find someone who has come across a firmware which can flash back to the original bootloader. this saves him having to download 40 odd different firmware, each ranging around 340mb~400mb, to find if there is. this saves him time and he doesnt have to dl 15.2 gb of each and every firmware.

PLUS it could help us in general ,in the near future if lg pulls a dodgy lol
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Try to patch froyo firmware with CWM then you can see partitions with adb in CWM. And try to change bootloader or other partitions with stock one with dd command in adb.
[LG Optimus 3D] samno:
Tryed that tool berni but it could'nt find the offsets so i'll have to do it manually. Thanks iodak good idea. rezzsha that's exactly what im trying to do mate.
[LG Optimus 3D] zogu:
Samno, i'm not sure where is boot loader, is it on boot partition or on some flash memory only for boot and bb, it sounds to easy to install boot with dd. If you need backup of some partition with dd i can attach it here, installed your kernel few times with dd. Can you reach mode where you can use adb? Maybe only need to repartition flash because of different p table in ics?
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
It can be done with dd i restored partitons on my phone with it in CWM adb is working in cwm. Bootlader is mountblock1, 2 is nv1, 3 is nv2.... Also if you can get to cwm you can use parted to repartition. there is guide on general section. I didn't try to restore bootloader but it is working with other partitions. Sorry for bad english.

flash your p920 with v10g for su760, if successful upgrade it to v21e gingerbread for p920. i think it should work.

Loaders

Hi guys could someone do a copy of there bootloaders and upload here please. I think they are mmcblk0p1 & mmcblk0p4. but could someone go through 1 to 4 just in case.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.backup bs 4096

At least we will have a copy of the loaders here just incase.
[LG Optimus 3D] zogu:
In mmcblk0p3 there is emai and some other data, if you need it i can send you on pm. Others are attached.
[LG Optimus 3D] zogu:
mmcblk0p3 is almost all zero, it has imei, serial and baseband version (ascii readable) on 2 or 3 different places, and maybe 20-30 other characters on random places, everything else is zero. Compare with your, maybe you just need to enter serial and emai on right places.
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
here is mmcblk0p1-0p4 in one zip plus descrription
[LG Optimus 3D] zogu:
But nv3 has to be changed in hex editor?
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
I don't know much about that I just copied it wit dd if to my sdcard and than put it on the pc to zip it
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
mmcblk0p3 stores the phone's unique info such as imei, wifi mac address, bluetooth mac address and other unique data. As far as I know this partition is not written even during firmware upgrades, so it's only written once at the factory then left untouched, and probably for good reason too. If we study it and figure out where important data is stored, we can restore IMEI and the like should something really bad happen to someone's phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] zogu:
It is written during software update, there is info about software version inside. I don't know how it works, does it only change software version or it is written from beginning during software update (bb update I think).
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Yes that is true. I did try to restore IMEI that way but it is not posible. Partition is rewritten on firmware flash. IMEI and mac addreses are writen in CP chip eeprom. You can get to it with hyper terminal.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Q9Nap:
I'm guessing you're referring to the boot logo flashing function? i use the dd command to write the logo.bin to the mmcblk1p10 partition, so my guess is the image files you're having problems with are smaller in size than the original one? logo.bin images should be approximately 854kb.

You need to boot to SD recovery. Hold the n key while booting until the boot menu shows. Then select SD and recovery and finish booting. The script will start again and install the gapps.

GNEX and Sony Smartwatch

So-so at best. It seemed to run better when running KANG but I flashed Codename Android last night and I can't even get the software to load on the phone, so it does not see the watch.

The problems I had before were with disconnects and reconnects. Sometimes it would be fine for hours, other times my wrist would be vibrating all the time and it came up and down. I think it's the watch, not the phone. (at least until the new ROM) I'm hopping my pebble will be better when it comes

This is NOT a help thread, or a "this guide will help you achieve optimal battery life" thread.

This is a competition. So basically put up or shut up. Post your screenshots.

The current (as this is an ongoing competition) winner will receive a thanks spam from other competitors and acknowledgement in this op.

Rules:

1) Must be running 4.0 or higher (ICS or jellybean people :P)

2) Must be on LTE ALL DAY. No WiFi, no 3G and definitely no 2g/data off. HSPA+ (aka fake 4g) will be accepted for those with no LTE service

3) Must have at least 2 hours on screen time, and one of the two required screens shots must show this

4) For the sake of SOME fairness, screenshots must be taken at 6% or above, but no extra credit will be given for such.

5) This one should be obvious, but NO CHARGING! Off one continuous charge only.

Also, at notice of slay dog, stock OEM battery only

6) I can add any other rules myself or other contributing members consider reasonable, based on majority vote

So for basic post format, put your ROM, kernel and post the two screenshots. required

Let the fight begin!!!!

I'll start:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
So, it turns out the /preload partition is 500 megs of almost unused space, just to show us a video of Asphalt. So, how about turning it into swap space to almost double the effective amount of memory you have? To use this mod, you must be rooted, and have busybox installed. I recommend the stericson busybox installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

I would like feedback on whether or not it actually speeds up the device, especially when running graphics-intensive games, and also effects on battery life.

How to install:

1.Be rooted.

2. Get busybox. If you don't already have it, you can get it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

3. You must have init.d support. This is built into my NardROM but you can also flash the file attached to this post.

4. Flash the script installer, attached below. NOTE: This will wipe your /preload partition. You can make a nandroid before you perform this step but CWMR doesn't back up /preload. Back up anyway :)

5. If it's successful, you will see something like the following screenshot when you open a terminal window and execute "free". Notice the swap being used. If you don't have swap enabled it will read 0 available.

To disable the mod:

1. Delete the script from /system/etc/init.d

2. Reflash your Asphalt video from a backup

To disable init.d:

1. Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, /system/etc/init.d (entire folder), /system/bin/sysinit, and /system/xbin/run-parts

Disclaimers:

Using nand memory as a swap can significantly reduce its life. Your phone's internal memory will wear out in years rather than decades :)

A lot of people argue using Android swap works against the built in memory management of the Dalvik machine

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
I think it's device-specific info for face unlock to compensate for various things like the angle you're holding the phone at and the distance away from your face. And if you'll look a little more closely, you'll find /vendor is symlinked from /system/vendor, it's not actually a separate partition. You should probably put those files back if you want face unlock to work.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
FYI, this could be a potential source of serious slowness. Swap isn't anywhere near as fast as real RAM.

I wouldn't do this unless you're legitimately having issues you can directly attribute to running out of RAM. It may be useful as Android marches on and demands more and more RAM but for ICS we're already a good clip above the recommended specs.

So with this hack having been out a couple months now, how are the reviews? Performance increase? Fewer slow downs?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Necc86:
1) this is not a hack, this is a simple tweak

2) swap file is ALWAYS has a performance decrease effect, no matter what (desktop PC, android phone). The only reason of use is when the device has no enough RAM, and the background processes shall be kept elsewhere

3) android has it's own RAM managing system and methods, simply stick to that as only that will gives you the best performance and user experience

4) "slowdown" occurs when the device runs out of free RAM and starts closing background applications to give everything to the foreground app. When you close the heavy resource use foreground app witch caused android to close every possible background apps, the phone reloads them (launcher, live wallpaper, app drawer, widgets, user apps, etc...) and this is what causes a temporary slowdown, and this is unavoidable, no matter if you use swap or not.
