[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ecf17:
I downloaded FreeGee and would like to uninstall it once the Jelly Bean update comes out due to lack of dev support, but I have discovered that there is no easy way to uninstall it unless I flash a stock rom back onto my phone (AT&T LG Optimus G). I cannot find any stock roms for the AT&T version, so I was wondering:

1) Are there any stock roms available for the AT&T LG Optimus G?

2) Does it matter if I use a stock rom from rogers or will that also mess up the updates?

3) If there are no stock roms available, does anybody know how to uninstall FreeGee?

Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 903tex:
You didn't see the stock ROM in the development section? Also that's why its good to make a backup of the stock rom before flashing any ROM.

Here is the stock ROM.

How do you flash it onto your phone?

I have the backups saved but I'm unsure of which one to flash and how to go about doing it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 903tex:
Short answer

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Go to backup/restore

And restore your backup

But long answer is read up so you know what you doing

MD5 mismatch

I got md5 mismatch when I tried to restore, so how would I go about flashing the stock rom?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
... Lack of dev support? Really?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 903tex:
Its all in the link I posted in my first post. Really man you should have read up more than just jump straight out the gate!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I guess it all depends on how many developers you consider constitutes a "lack of" and how many = "good" support. Right now we know of three that have actually put something out, there are others working on stuff behind the scenes but how many remains to be seen. I have faith the support will come; however, if you were to survey people today, I'm reasonably certain most would call this a lack of support. Good things come to those who wait. :D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xxgmon3yxx:
Indeed, common sense really. 1 rom in the dev section = lack of dev support. if a person can't see that, then they lack common sense.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] elvelozpotosino:
ECF17. Ill answer your question. I see many comments above but no real answer.

There is not a stock Rom you can flash. the only Rom available is heavily modified.

What I did is went back to stock. Root, then unlock the bootloader, and deleted the apps I don't use. So I still have a ODEX Rom. Installed WiFi tether, Rom toolbox lets you easily remove the apps that you dont want (be careful) and also allows you to block ads.

Battery life is amazing. I unplugged at 6:30am and its 3:35 now and I'm at 67% and I've send over 20 emails today, dozens of text and over 1 hour screen on time.

I found that stock ODEX and debloated is the way to go. My sync is on. Facebook,gmail, box,dropbox.

The md5 mismatch was an issue I had also. The recovery that comes with the freegee. Unlock is flaky like that

Someone mentioned that the BBC I player app doesn't work.

First of all, are we talking about this app?

View attachment 1568120

So I tried this out here. On first install, when I tried to open a program, the phone became almost unresponsive, something was hogging the CPU. I had to pull the battery.

After rebooting, this app seems to work fine:

View attachment 1568122

That's my experience anyway. As far as Netflix, I've just recently cancelled my subscription, so I can't do much with that one.
[Defy Android Development] korale:
Nice ROM seams to be verry smooth. battery life is as far as I can say quite good.

I think I found a bug - Bluetooth is not working I think. Same behavior as on quarx' 2012-11-18 - build.

At least for me. Maybe quarx' bluetooth-fix for this build can solve the problem? Couldn't test yet.
[Defy Android Development] AvRS:
Thread moved as your OP has no format whatsoever and the Development section isn't for discussions. If you want this in Development please make it clearer that this is an actual ROM and not just a discussion and also add all credits with links to the original work. Just look at some of the other ROM threads for an example of what should be included e.g changelog/features, what changes have been made, what you're asking people to test for you to discuss, just anything really to give more info then you have given already.

Thanks

AvRS
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Really a PM would have been fine.

This thread was created to avoid clutter in another thread.

At the bottom of the post I'm pretty sure it says that it was posted with Tapatalk from my phone? As soon as I'm on my PC I'll add as much rich content as you desire... There is only so much I can do from my phone.

Lastly, each thread IS a discussion, I have no idea what a "forum" is for other than discussing things.
[Defy Android Development] EldonTyrell:
I'll confirm that Netflix does not work. Stuck on splash screen with loading wheel spinning. Never tried it on quarx 0512, though.

Great build, IMO. No problems on any of my heavy use apps. No reboots or freezes yet. 20 hrs uptime.

Using my standard setup; no ksm, no zRam, no overclocking, 16 bit transparency. Interactive and noop.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Awesome, thanks for testing it. I've been having some instability regarding wifi and Tasker, but I experienced this also with the Nov-18 from Quarx. I will keep investigating it.
[Defy Android Development] Maarren:
On last builds by quarx I had problems with touch screen input getting delayed/unresponsive some times. Until now I don't experience that in this build, but I should use it longer to be sure.
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Oh I see now it's the same as what I did before the difference was I was trying to compile CNA with it but it broke in so many places I just gave up loool :p I will try again I guess and see if there is indeed some improverments in CNA because I remember full linaro CM & kernel that I tried before was a bit smoother that just having linaro compiled kernel.

Anyways thanks for clearing that up for me :)
[Defy Android Development] blairpoodle:
It was I. I was looking at the official BBC iplayer app which is here and requires the BBC Media Player to do the heavy lifting here

It's not as severe a crash as on the 05/12, where I had to yank out the battery, it crashes when it should hand off to the stream, the rest of app works, you can navigate the programme listings etc but just at the point when the stream starts on CM7.20 it hangs. I have access to 3 defys so I can confirm that is the point when the app crashes. I can also confirm the Netflix issue. Are these two related?

As I said in the other thread it is significantly snappier, I'll keep one defy on Quarx, one on this linaro build and one on CM7.20 for feedback (well at least until xmas when they're all being given as presents) :laugh:
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
The problem I get with all newer builds by Quarx , from 11/18 onwards, is this logcat entry: "E/MediaProvider( 9674): Can't obtain external volume ID even though it's mounted.", which causes process media to be killed all the time, making the user experience a true hell: camera, music player, Play Store, etc, etc, etc, i,e. practically nothing which requires access to my NTFS formatted 64GB card works! So, I'm always back to his 11/17 build (for a month now). I already posted thiis many times on his CM10 dev thread, but, as usual, I get ignored. You, most probably, have already read my posts about this issue there. Anyway, any thoughts if I would face this issue if I flashed your ROM?
[Defy Android Development] SkyKOG:
Awesome job ...works fine on MB525 green :thumbup:...
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Hi casouzaj... This is interesting that it started happening between 11/17 and 11/18, so it should be easy to find and fix.

Yes you should probably face this issue with this build because I'm using the repo from Quarx, all of the files are the same except for some changes to get it to build with Linaro.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Thanks a lot, wskelly! Would you be meaning that you1ll get this issue fixed anytime soon?
[Defy Android Development] slph:
So, your rom will be 'fork with linaro' only, or you have plans to change something?

I ask, because after 18.11 Quarx builds start drain battery (Android OS takes half of usage), wipes, reinstalls, clean rom, nothing can help.
[Defy Android Development] tongax:
Great ROM!

Using bf5x batt have jumps

Bluetoot fix from quarx work!

Any idea for batt jumps? Installed on top from 18/11 quarx with full wipe>rom > gapps>reboot
[Defy Android Development] korale:
After 24h use:

Verry smooth and in my opinion best responding CM10 I used until now. Usally I stick with quarx' build.

Battery drain about 2% per hour at light/normal use (just a little surfing, reading news, checking mails, etc)

Bugs so far:

Bluetooth disabling crashes phone app.

Bluetooth fix of quarx helps to at least solve the crash. Got bluetooth mouse correctly working. File transfer to a compueter doesn't work.

Reboot into bootmenu/recovery fails - just a reboot happens

Is there any mirror? I can not download from this link - download resetting every time when reaching ~25%.

[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Can't really put my finger on the difference in performance on this or Quarx's build... To me it seems that scrolling is smoother in this one, while things load faster on Quarx's build. Could be just me, though, and I really hope I don't sound as a hater, cause I am using this build and I AM enjoying it! :o

I've got one problem, though. Third day on it now and ringtones problems started to appear. (it starts then it's mute for some time then the sound is back and so on) Anybody else having them? It's weird, since JellyX kernel has the commit that should prevent audio lock-ups included (or is that actually not about that?). Could this be caused by linaro? :/

I have one request, too, if I may... :fingers-crossed: Could you please cherry-pick silent volume changing in the next build (if there is going to be one)? I have no idea why is that not included in CM as standard and I really think it should...
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I took the plunge and performed a quick test, just to confirm that the issue is, unfortunately, present. Once again, I'm back to Quarx' 11/17...
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Crap, I see a TON of changes on 11/18, not sure if I can pinpoint it but I see a couple of things that are curious...

So you have an NTFS formatted 64 MB card, is that right? And it always worked, even on 11/17, but it was broken on 11/18, right?
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Yes, I have a Sandisk Ultra 64GB card, which I formatted to NTFS in order to be able to transfer 4GB+ files from/to my W8 notebook to/from the card without having to remove it from my Defy. It works flawlessly in Quarx' 11/17 build, but from 11/18 build onwards, that dreadded "Unfortunately, process android.process.media has stopped" message (due to the logcat entry I posted before), coming up all the time, renders my phone pretty useless.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
I've added the "no beep on volume rocker" cherry pick from ics.

Try version 1218 just uploaded.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Does anyone care about quadrant scores anymore? Just wondering if there is a better way to quantify performance other than just feel.

I just ran quadrant standard with a build I haven't posted yet, although performance should be similar with the others.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
That's a terrible score :D But, like you said it yourself, I think people have quit the benchmark stuff...

P.S. Just ran Quadrant Standard myself and got 1279 - interactive + noop on JellyX kernel with the first build of yours, from the 15th Dec. :p

*EDIT* It's getting worse by the hour for me :-/ The phone now won't show up the lockscreen at first press, just the keys light up and turn back off after a couple of seconds. On the 3rd or 4th try the screen finally turns on. Damn :-/ Will see how much does a reboot help...
[Defy Android Development] Amibien:
Me too my quadrant score is now 1100 (oc 1,2ghz) and before 1700 with quarx. No changes with Antutu (3400),

Battery drain is actually bester than 28/11 (25% - 10h) but 17/11 was the best.

Me too

Sorry for my English ^^

Thx for your build
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Hmm any change after reboot?

I had this type of behavior too, only at the gym though with a lot of other WiFi devices and rf noise around. I found wpa_supplicant was the culprit, taking 60 percent or more of the CPU.

Now, is this because wpa supplicant was compiled with linaro or another reason?

Before going to bed at 2:30 I switched the wpa supplicant repo from the maniac and quarx modified one to the "jellybean-stable" branch from cm. I'm running this now and I'll test at the gym later today.

Regarding my crappy score: :)

I don't OC, just set to 1000 Hz, but the wide range of values seems bogus. I also have my usual stuff in the background like twicca, tasker, weatherbug.
[Defy Android Development] slph:
Not sure, could be a placebo? This is included in 18.12 build?

I have wifi at home with tomatousb firmware.

With Quarx's and your previous build I has weak signal (1-2/4 bars)

Now, with your latest 18.12 build I have 3-4/4 bars. Much stronger signal, or my neighborhoods just died, lol
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Installed yesterday, today reverted to Quarx 05/12 because of lags and long time opening of apps. CPU almost still at 100% load... I was not analyzing problems, just reverted to previous build.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Not yet included. I am using it now but didn't publish. Same issue right now at gym.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
casouzaj, I reverted one commit that looks suspicious with regards to your issue. That commit is here. Note that at the end of this function, MediaProvider is updated; for all I know this code may be completely benign but it was introduced around the 17th of Nov, right around the time you started having trouble, so maybe try 1219 out without this commit and see if it helps or has any influence at all. Having it or not having it should not make any difference, looks like this was simply a performance improvement... It looks like MAYBE this could result in some of your descriptions, where you are only having issues with the media players finding files. Everything here kind of lines up with your description of the problem elsewhere (I read a couple of your posts)... Maybe give the 1219 a try that I just posted.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Thank you very much, wskelly! I've been reporting this issue since I flashed Quarx's 11/18 build (and with all his subsequent builds), but, as you've said, I've been the only user facing this issue. So, I really appreciate your effort in trying to find the culprit. I have just downloaded your 12/19 build and will, certainly, give it a try. I will report the results here later.

Best regards,

Carlos

EDIT: Unfortunately, the error seems to be somewhere else, because the issue is still present in your 12/19 build. Thanks, anyway. Now restoring Quarx's 11/17 nandroid backup again...
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Dang, I was pretty confident in that one. :o

Well I see some other things so maybe I'll give it another go tonight.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Take your time. I don't mean to put any pressure on you, whatsoever. I truly appreciate your will to do something. I've been reporting this issue for a month now, and you are the only person who tried to fix it. You are already my hero! :D
[Defy Android Development] korale:
Sorry for asking again. Am I the only one with bluetooth issues?

I already tested a clean install with wiped data and same result. When switching off bluetooth the phone app crashes.
[Defy Android Development] tongax:
@korale. Use bluetoot fix from quarx2k.ru
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
I tried it in my Ford Flex with factory BT. Audio streaming (ie music) worked fine. I tried a phone call, and the audio wasn't routed properly, but no crash.

If you flash the Bluetooth fix from Quarx everything is fine hey? Did it work before or does it work today on the Quarx rom?
[Defy Android Development] korale:
Thanx for the info. Actually I didn't try BT file transfer at the very last builds of quarx. So I can't tell for sure. But I can live with the current state and bt_fix.

For sure the build is quite snappy in my opinion.

On 19th dec build WiFi didn't switch of on my phone. On 18th dec build it was allright so I went back. ;)

Cheers...
[Defy Android Development] slph:
dat car! :cowboy:

btw, can you build latest Quarx's kernel?

I see here something reverted, so it could fix something :)
[Defy Android Development] kangi26:
Moved thread to Dev section. Thanks for the update OP
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
I noticed that the kernel is actually building with an older version of Linaro, despite everything else using the 4.7 version that I updated. So last night I was trying to get the kernel to build with Linaro 4.7 also. So, nothing new last night but possibly tonight. :) Slammed with kids, work, Christmas, etc.

Still on my mind is the poor wifi performance I have (and high CPU load) when I'm in an RF-rich area (i.e. gym)

The NTFS card issue

Permanent fix for the Bluetooth issue in source
[Defy Android Development] slph:
Hello, wskelly.

I'm using your build everyday as usual, last night I has strange bug:

Surfing web pages, I noticed a strange sound when you touch the screen, something like "Shhh" (RFI)

Touch screen - keep your finger on the screen - get very quiet "shhhhrrshhrr"

I opened bestbatterystats and found AudioOut_2 first in the list.

Then I opened Sound Settings and uncheck\enable your cherrypick feature and disabled totaly.

This didn't helped. so I've done reboot and this 'shhh' is gone.

Uptime was more than 1 day, build cm-10-20121218-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip, not much software, gapps cutted, just my everyday setup

I've never listening to music at this uptime, one time I've watched video in MX player, about 20 mins.

Not sure what it was.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Wow that is definitely strange? No idea what could cause that. If it happens again maybe dump the logcat and see if anything interesting.

Linaro 2012.12 just released so I'm updating that now. Going out to lunch with family but hopefully I have some more free time today. :)

I'm off of work until the new year so I'm happy about that. :)
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
New build (1222) is uploading now with the following changes:

Updated to toolchain Linaro 2012.12 (Kernel still using older version however, could not get the phone to boot with the new version yet)

Added additional debugging of MediaProvider for casouzaj and the NTFS issue -- please use CatLog or something similar and filter the log for "MediaProvider". There is a bunch more debugging stuff in there to see what is going on.

Screenshot in long press power menu enabled by default

Cherry pick for screen off animation, this may have been a waste of time, since we already have the 'electron beam' animation. Looks like this added a few more frames to the screen off animation. I will probably remove this, don't see any benefit from it.
[Defy Android Development] slph:
This incude your previous changes (wpa_supplicant_6 switched to CyanogenMod and cherrypick) and Quarx's latest changes at github (kernel, ramdisk)?

btw, I think my problem was because of this. :)
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Thanks, wskelly! I'm going to bed now, because it's already 3h30 here. Will try your build tomorrow. You know, Quarx's 12/22 build still has the same issue. I have posted it again in his dev thread, but, as usual, my post got lost in an ocean of other posts, but, at least, another user there has the same problem. As I said before, you are the only person trying to solve it. Thanks again! Best wishes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Carlos
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Yep, good questions -- should include all of the previous changes, the volume sound option as well as wpa_supplicant_6 switched to jellybean-stable from CM. Also synced with Quarx's latest repo and merged as necessary. In the past I've only used git for my little projects at work, so I just commit my changes and have history and so forth, so I've got a little bit of a learning curve with git + merging and branches and so forth. I think I'm getting the hang of it. :)

I just removed the animation cherry pick and I'm trying to get the kernel to build with Linaro 4.7 again, maybe for the next build...

You think the hissing problem was because of this increased buffer size? I can back that out if it happens again, and we should also report that to Quarx if it is a problem.
[Defy Android Development] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
notifications dont work, call gets auto disconnected, adb doesnt work, back to quarx
[Defy Android Development] slph:
No worry, I mean, somehow, maybe it was related to Quarx's 05.12 kernel (not enough buffer size), but I found what Audio_out2 related to haptic feedback, so it can't be cherrypic or buffer, so let this creepy thing leave in past, now everything is okay, thanks for your work and merry xmas :)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
I think the reason the kernel isn't booting is because it needs a GB toolchain or some major changes are needed for it to work that's why quarx hasn't compiled with a later version?? Because 4.5.4 is the last GB tool chain.... I also tried like you once to build with 4.7 tool chain but it never booted..... I guess we can confirm this by trying a ICS tool chain. If you try it post yr findings....

Thanks and keep up the good work Happy Holidays to all :)

Let's Go ^_^
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
??

Something else is wrong on your side, of course notifications and adb are working.

Does the Quarx 11/17 or 11/18 work for you? The first build I made is nearly identical except for a newer version of Linaro.

I suspect there is something wrong with the base SBF that you used; I had really strange problems because my /system position was full, turns out I needed to flash another SBF. I think the post number was #3994 in the Quarx thread where I describe what I did.
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Btw wskelly you forgot to add the compiler flags needed for true linaro awesomeness ;)

It was removed by Quarx when he was cleaning up the device common tree....

You can cherry-pick from me :) to add it back - https://github.com/Kayant/android_d...mmit/4de3389f4189ccf7c7bc0ffab058ed267a940d4a

P.S It will probably break a lot of stuff again :p
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Kayant, thanks! I made a build with the options last night! Will post later. :)
