AW: [Q&A] Marvel ICS - Highly Customizable ROM

Yeah, but not the whole bin and fls file combo, but just the baseband, which should be the fls file with around 8MB. Check your contacts, there should be an option, weather u wanna save them on your phone, or in your google account ;)
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Right, SmartFlash. For different basebands, try:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126547

The link: http://www.lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 lists a 30C from India. I'd attack that to extract the baseband.

I thought I've "lost" contacts...

Make sure that you select the group "My Contacts" added when you create a contact under ICS and gmail. Also, make sure that you're adding the contacts under "Google Contacts", rather than the "Phone Contacts".
[LG Optimus Black] chintan.bhaidani:
@Nooby & @androcraze - thanks for your respective replies :) I have selected only show contacts from my particular google account that has been synced for contacts, also I save under the specific google account while saving a new contact.

Which baseband shall i flash - v30b or v30c?

The contacts app is acting weird, its taking a bit of a time to show up the contacts when I click on the Contact app.

Whats app is acting a bit weird too, few of the contacts saved don't show up in whats app, but they are still there in my contacts list :(

Weird problems with this ROM, & this ain't the first time I am facing this problems, but I had these issues previously too & thats the reason I had shifted back to GB!

The ROM over all is behaving a bit laggy, any solutions for the same? I have installed "No Frills CPU" & selected performance & cfq.

Battery drain is pretty high, 23% drain during the whole night, when there was no usage/activity on my phone.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
30B or 30C? Try the 30B. I bet they're the same for a given country.

When I started playing with Contacts, I did all the editing on the gmail side initially, and let the phone sync to that. Try disabling the gmail contacts and only show the phone contacts; you can see what's on the phone itself and delete those. After deleting, revert back. Took me a while to get the hang of this vice GB. What you had under GB (at least Marvel) was everything consolidated under Contacts, to include the dialer. ICS has the Contacts list and dialer as separate entities, connected, but separate apps. It was frustrating for me for a while. I'm better now.

Laggy? ICS is not GB. But neither is GB ICS. I was starting to run into issues with compatibility for some apps and had to make a decision. Many newer apps are ICS or higher only, and it was time.

Battery Loss? I get about 5% loss overnight, so 23% is way too high. Did you reboot your phone? Let's talk about saving some battery...

Virus Checker: really not needed. If you read the accuracy numbers, they're about 10-30%. If you get your apps from the Play Store exclusively (other than a select here-and-there approach), you don't need it.

Battery Saver: not needed. ICS has a saver included that does everything that Juice Defender free did for me.

Governor: You're doing fine with performance/cfq. You might also want to play with interactive/cfq as well. I prefer the former for now. We'll see.

GPS/WiFi/BlueTooth: turn the damn things off unless you need them.

Brightness: Auto

PowerSaver: On

Sync: on for gmail, calendar, contacts, google reader

Launcher: I like Xperia. The default was an older version. I upgraded to v2.05 at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2103403

You'll need to download the app to your SD card, copy it using ES Explorer or some file manager to /system/apps, make sure the permissions are set to 644 (rw,r,r), then delete the old launcher. Things get crazy (you just lost your launcher!); you'll have to perform a forced-shutdown and then reboot. I think ES Explorer allows a "safe" delete of apks. The new version is much faster and smoother.

Widgets: Welcome to hell. Some widgets suck the battery dry. I don't use any LG widgets. None. The only widgets I have on my workspaces are:

Retro Clock

Circle Battery

Android Weather (Select location manually, interval 1 hour)

Smooth Calendar

Some nice, low resource apps:

Radaee Reader (faster and lighter than Adobe Reader)

ThinkFree Office Mobile Reader (Light and fast. Do you really compose spreadsheets and Word documents on your phone?)

CPU Spy (don't forget to reset when you unplug the battery)

I'm at 1 day, 10 hours on the battery, with 14% left. Time to plug in!
[LG Optimus Black] chintan.bhaidani:
Man, that was extensive :), Thanks for all your help buddy :)

Will do the tweaks as recommended by you & then post my feedback :cowboy:
[LG Optimus Black] chintan.bhaidani:
Contacts issue sorted out :)

2nd step to fix the date & time sync by flashing the v30b baseband.

Thanks a lot!
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Thanks for the info. Yeah, I realize there are many English speaking countries in Europe. I just meat that I wasn't sure if the default language would be different (though I know you set this anyways after factory/data wipe), and also wasn't sure if it would cause an issue with my provider (Koodo Canada) if the phone now had a baseband from a different country...

Sounds like it doesn't matter anyways. Not sure how that works, just as long as it does work. Can always reflash the V20j baseband again if I run into problems. ;)

Sounds like a very solid/stable ROM. Thanks again to the both of you for answering my questions. Much appreciated! :)
[LG Optimus Black] SaschaKH:
I life in Germany and my provider is O2 Germany and my OB normaly goes automaticaly to German. My wife is English and her German is still far from good so she wants to swich it to English, but that is no problem.

Sure.

It is for sure, I would prefere the IZS but both are good and for sure better than the LG one. I wait for Marvel12. My problems with GPS I could fix easyly in Marvel11 but WLAN sometimes gave me problems. So they where very close but IZS won.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Installed v11. Best ROM I've used thus far... by a long shot! :)

Couple minor issues so far; can't send attachments (images) through text messages for some reason. It just continues to say "sending..." and my wife doesn't receive the attachments.

Any ideas?

Also, in the AROMA I selected to install the silent camera but it still makes sounds...?

I opted to chose the v30 W in AROMA as well. Not sure if that was the right one or not. Everything else seems to work well.

Thank you to everyone who worked on this ROM. So fast, stable and pretty! :D
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Not sure about the silent camera. There were some script issues, and things didn't go where they needed to. You might have stumbled across one.

Attachments via text? I use GO SMS; never liked the default texting apps.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Silent camera is not a big deal. Just wasn't sure why it still made noise when I selected silent camera. No worries. :)

So you're saying to use a different texting app? Thanks. I'll give that a try.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Tried GO SMS and still the same. Will not send attachments. Just says "sending..." and never sends... :confused:

Other then that, this ROM is near flawless, if I dare say. :good:
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Dumb question. How big is the attachment? Try a really small one and see if that makes a difference. You could be exceeding either the carrier's max, or you might have to increase the max in the MMS settings (in Messaging or GO SMS).

Also check:

Settings > More... > Mobile Networks >

and verify your settings.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I was able to send a 150k picture with GO SMS Pro. Took a while, but it loaded and sent with Marvel 11.

I really don't send files via SMS/MMS (that's what e-mail is for), but it worked.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
The attachements are definitely small enough. I sent much larger attachments before when I was on the stock GB 2.3.4 ROM.

All network settings are correct.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Odd. Haven't heard of any SMS/MMS issues. I'll have to see If there's anything I'm not thinking of.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Please verify your APN Settings. I already asked you to check the mobile network settings, but a single letter off in the APN can stop things. If you are texting fine, it sounds like an MMS issue.

Bit of a problem now...

I went back into recovery and tried installing a couple different options. Now after reboot and unlock screen the screen is black and a popup keeps coming up saying; "The application Application Manager (process com.lge.appbox.client) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I can't get the phone back into recovery mode to change my settings back the way they were. I tried Vol up + power and it just reboots as usual (not into recovery).

:confused:

Is there a specific button/key combo to get into this recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
You need to keep on pressing (in repetition) the volume+ key; just don't hold it.

I always clear the cache if I do an install from CWM. Most changes I make are via ES Explorer. It's extra work, but I just don't trust things otherwise.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
I do wipe the cache every time. (dalvik cache)

So I tried repeatedly pressing the vol+ key and it just continues to boot up to the lock screen as usual. Will not enter recovery mode...

Is it vol up + power, then vol+ repeatedly AND keep holding the power? Sorry, I'm just confused as to the exact procedure...

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
I'm trying to figure this myself. It sounds like you don't have a launcher installed. I had this happen too, and all I had was the black bar at the top of the screen. I'm trying to remember how to get to CWM. There is a way even without a launcher. I'm looking for it...

Per the ICS Thread:

HOW TO ACCESS CWM VIA E-RECOVERY

Power on your phone, and as soon as the 4 leds start flashing, repeatedly press any physical button until your phone reboots and it access to CWM.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Look in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487105

Look for:

What to do if the Update failed?

Look at "Second Option".

It looks like a lot of work, but it's not.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

Yeah I guess it didn't install a launcher even though I selected the Apex launcher. Strange.

Anyways, yeah, it doesn't matter which hard key I press repeatedly (and very quickly) during boot up. It does not go into recovery. I wonder if it's because Marvel v11 installs with it's own recovery program (not CWM). Wondering if there's a different hard key combo to get it into recovery? There's got to be some way...

Would really hate to have to start from scratch all over (wipe everything and re-root again)... Will keep you posted and thanks again! :)
[LG Optimus Black] :
Incoming SMS doesnt work - LGMMS.apk corrupted

hi

everthing is working fine instead of one error just after boot the device

LGMMS.apk crashed was the message i got

i uninstalled it and tried several thirdparty mms apps

but i can only send sms but cannot receive

could anyone send me or upload the original lgmms.apk from /system/app from the newest marvel rom?

otherwise i must reinstall it :(
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Do you have the latest Marvel ROM? It's in the zip file under:

/custom/mms/
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
I've got the same date/time resetting on every reboot issue as well. Under baseband it shows "unknown".

I still have the original v20j baseband I used when I first rooted my phone. When I installed Marvel v11 I opted to install one of the 3 v30 basebands. I'm assuming all I need to do is flash that v20j fls file with smartflasher and all should be well???

Will the v20j baseband work with this ROM?

Thanks. :)

EDIT: When I reboot it keeps date & time Info. If I pull the battery it loses date & time Info. But only because its not set to use network for date & time. So I guess its fine as is then.

Still curious to know if I can flash the v20j baseband anyways and if i should...
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Huexxx's Pre-IZS v30 base band works fine in North America, at least the USA.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Good to know, thanks. :)

So just to confirm; I can just flash the baseband fls. file using smartflash and it shouldn't wipe my phone or cause any other issues?

I'm just very hesitant to mess with it again as every time I do, it causes some kind of huge errors and I end up having to reflash (wipe), reinstall the ROM and restore everything all over again. Very frustrating... lol
[LG Optimus Black] SaschaKH:
Just to be sure that I got you right: You think you selected in Marvel11 Aroma installer that it should install a baseband?

You have a selection in Marvel11 to install one of 3 kernels, there is no option to install a baseband, i.e. you still have your old v20 baseband and I think that is why you have the problems.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Ahh, you could be right. However, in the Aroma installer, I thought the choices were listed as follows:

Stock v30 - Blue LED fix

Stock v30 - White LED fix

Stock v30

Perhaps those are just Kernels then. I just saw the "v30" part and assumed it was also installing that baseband. (Sorry, I'm still new to all this...)

So then, just to ease my worries, my phone *should* be ok if I just flash the baseband (v30b euro open) fls file only, with smartflasher tool... correct?
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Another question; Is there any way to do a screen grab (screenshot) with this ROM? I tried quickly tapping home & power button but it doesn't work...

NEVERMIND, I got it. Home + power button works. You just have to hold them for a second, rather than tapping them quickly. -_-
[LG Optimus Black] angelox82:
solved the problem, maybe did something wrong in the 1st installation... then:

i've noticed then 2 bugs, dunno if this is the right place to tell them, anyway: Even if i pick the full silent cam or the "sound 4" option, i still have the sound when i take a photo. the second one, if i go into settings and select Wallpaper... i got a crash, always.

thank you for your help :)
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Those are 3 kernels.

They're all "N00BY" kernels: one is as-is and the other two have patches for white/blue LEDs. I usually don't care, and the "blue" is first, so that's what I get.

As stated before, I run the base band from Huexxx's IZS ("Pre_IZS"); it includes everything you need. I live in North America. I get and receive calls, and send text messages fine. My GPS works. Overall happiness.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

There's an issue with the install scripts and some things didn't go where they needed to. I think the silent camera is one, boot animations are another.

Don't know about the wallpaper issue.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
You should be able to "Smartflash" the base band at will without affecting the installed ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Ok, so I flashed the v30b euro open baseband and it gave me a message "sim card does not allow connection on this network". Seems it doesn't work here in Canada with Koodo. Anything I can do to make it work?

For the mean time I reflashed the v20j original baseband. It works fine and keeps date and time settings no problem after shut downs and reboots. Only looses date and time if I pull the battery which is almost never.

Everything is working and working smoothly, as-is (with v20j), so I'm happy even if the v30b doesn't work. :)

Dialer not working with voicemail with Marvel 11

The Dialer is not working with voicemail with Marvel 11. I get voicemail notifications, but am unable to login typing my password in the Marvel 11 dialer.

Marvel 9 worked fine with my carrier's voicemail service. I was able to log into voicemail and move throughout the navigation system using the dialer keyboard without error.

Marvel 10 proved sporadic. My carrier was to blame, right? Sometimes I could dial into voicemail, sometimes I'd get a "we're sorry, that password is incorrect". I'd get three tries and if I didn't make it by the third, I'd get bumped. I'd almost always make it by the third and get in.

Marvel 11 proved impossible to log in. I managed initially to log in a few times, but subsequent attempts were futile and I kept on getting login failures.

I was certain that my account had been hacked or my account needed to be reset. I contacted my carrier and had them reset my password 3 times to no avail. They finally wiped my voicemail account so I had to create my password from the login menu. I did that, and got an interesting "that character is not recognized" error, and once again was unable to re-login. That got me thinking...

I installed IZS and did a full wipe. Baseband is the same. Voicemail now works FLAWLESSLY. Every time. No errors when typing from the dialer keypad.

Any ideas? Could the tones be off somehow in Marvel 11? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? This problem is the only issue I've had with Marvel 11 that I haven't been able to either fix or work around. Not being able to get voicemail is a show-stopper for me.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

I wonder if you have to do a factory reset when changing basebands...

If things are working, I wouldn't mess with a good thing.
[LG Optimus Black] MEC-777:
Just tried the dialer in voice mail. Works perfect for me.

That last line... my thoughts exactly. ;)

I can't put 0 in first of number in Dial

Excuse me, I use ROM Marvelv11 ICS404 v30b on LG Optimus Black and I found the problem when I use dial, I can't add 0(zero) at the first of telephone number I want to call.

Now I try to solve a problem with put another number in first and delete that number after. :rolleyes:

Do you have the way to solve my problem to add 0 in first normally?

Please help me

Thanks

[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
In another thread a possible fix was re-flashing the base band. You might want to try that.

I'm running v12 Beta, and am not experiencing the issue, yet another user is. Try a reflash, and let us know.
[LG Optimus Black] holyguardian:
It still the same...

I try to reflash but It still have the same problem :(

Can't access Home screen in System Settings menu

Been using this very impressive ROM for a couple of days now, with very few problems ... but the one recurring annoyance is that I cannot open the Home screen option on the Settings menu ... every time I choose it, I get an error stating "The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped uexpectedly. Please try again." EVERY TIME. Makes it very difficult to determine/change whatever settings are behind that item if it never opens. Has anyone else run into this and/or have a suggestion to fix this?

Choose stock lg launcher in aroma.
[LG Optimus Black] MikeFromMarkham:
Thanks, that was fast! I just used the default, full install the first time around.

Sorry for these noob questions,but just to be sure: I assume I now have to reinstall the ROM but this time in custom mode? Will that mean having to restore all my apps and data too, or will they be unaffected by the reinstall? One more: could I avoid this by installing another launcher like Nova or Apex from the Play store, or would that just make a bigger mess of things?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
As stated, the menu item defaults to the LG stock launcher. You have another launcher installed. This isn't a bug.

Hopefully for the final release of 12, Tantrums will either eliminate the menu item entirely, or have it launch a home-switcher app.
[LG Optimus Black] MikeFromMarkham:
Sounds like the easiest solution - and the least confusing for a noob like me - it to just avoid clicking on that menu item ... thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] cookiepuppy:
Hi, im not sure its baseband related problem, i had the same thing, plus every time i press zero it went to lg test menu, this happen around a week ago. And i have v30 baseband since i flashed this rom. My problem was solved by doing factory reset from lg hidden menu. Try it also if you installed hidden menu. Maybe it will work for you too

For some folks, factory resetting seems to fix the Zero dialer issue, for others, it doesn't.

about 2 characteristics in my wishlist (if is possible)

1. CTR screen effect for this ROM

2. Flash lights for new messages

this ROM is wonderful keep up good work

thanks in advance
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
- Instragram is a known problem. revert to a prior version. If you search on here, you will find many threads.

- The Polaris Office included is old. I'd recommend Think Free Office Viewer in its place. Are you really composing and editing Excel spreadsheets and Word documents on a 3.5" phone? Really?

I'll add the other two items to the v12 Beta troubleshooting thread.
