there are no gallery issues.. you need to bump up your voltages..

don't take it personal, my post is quoted from you but it is not directed directly towards you, but as in general... I hope you are not getting the wrong intentions. & I did apologize for my mistake on the date :P
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
There has been reports of even Nominal Bin cpus doing better than fast bin cpus.. it may just be the luck of the draw.. but the average phone should be of fast bin.

I must've got a Friday phone.

Could be an excuse for a a new toy when I finally give up on it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I will right now build you a completely stock aosp cm kernel like the one that is used on shel's cm-10.1 but I'll add the new prima drivers so that wifi will work properly with the rom.. you can test it and see if it makes any difference. give me about 15 mins. or so, i'll have to download the source then add the new wifi drivers and whatnot and i'll upload it here.. this kernel should have all the stock voltages and nothing extraly special. "extraly isn't even a word" lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drock212:
I was having the same issue with blank squares in gallery or multiples of the same picture. Reflashing the ROM would fix it for me until 7/8 build when it would choose when it would like to read SD card. For me I think it's just my card going bad cause I'm pretty sure I remember that happening on my SGS3 with that same card. I think my card is about 4 years old so it's about due to give out.

Edit: oh and from what I could tell they're not corrupt spaces it's just reading what's not there.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I'll give it a go whenever you have the time to compile it and I'll let you know!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
kernel provided below :) you might wanna enable mpdecision in trickster mod since I've got it disabled by default in the rom's ramdisk.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Thanks! I've flashed and I'll let you know the results!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MysteryEmotionz:
I have a slow bined cpu and haven't had any issues that gets mentioned about here or on stock. The only issue I have is I can't undervolt as much as I would like 2 but then again that's the point of the different bins.

It's the luck of the draw whether it's good luck or bad luck. My device has a couple imperfections of its own. I 2 dead pixels and the screen is lifting on the right. Both problems are tolerable and im debating on getting my phone replaced under the manufacture warranty. I don't want to get stuck with a ****ty refurb.

People need to remember not all phones are created equally although they came off the same assembly line. There's going to be defects one being better then the other. Are phones where mass produced and a bad one will slip threw.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Hey houstonn I just randomly thought about how I could use a quick toggle for Eco mode (While using ME's kernel). Would that be possible and would you even be willing to implement something like that? If I remember right your kernel didn't have an option for it so I completely understand if you'd rather just leave it out haha.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
not gonna happen :p

+1 on trying tho :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Hahaha what can I say? I had to give it a shot :p :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
The easiest way to fix the blank squares is to go to apps->media storage and clear the data. Then run the app media scanner from the playstore. I mean it works for me, the method should work for everyone. I also noticed that not only were my pictures being duplicated or creating blank spots, but my songs were being duplicated as well in my music app. You'll have to reset your sounds (nofications etc) though if you have the patience or whatever. Hope this helps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
there is also a media scanner in Trickster Mod under Tool Section :P I've never used it so I don't know the difference between the 2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Thank you sir. I'll give it a go as well. I really like this rom. But dropping business calls cause the phone rebooted is unpleasant.

Note: I normally run with your kernel and no voltage changes. I had tried raising voltages in the past, but it had no impact on stability.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I would not bare with that as well.. Have you tried other roms and kernels? what has worked well on your phone?

I have now beaten the phone to death with all 4 kernels.. rootbox default, the semaphore, the faux, the geem stock.. and I can not get a random reboot..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tuxattack80:
I've found that powering the phone completely off and let it sit for a couple minutes seems to do the trick as well, allows it to clear out its memory.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Negative. Jank4au helped me get up and running on your Canadian version shortly before you released the native rom...I've been hooked ever since. When I got my replacement phone last week I swore I was going to stay stock for stability....yeah, it was rooted and running this rom before the sun set that same day.

The reboots are as random as anything I've ever seen. Reading an email in the morning using stock email app, talking on the phone in the evening, or just about the time I really need the GPS for directions. Since it's so quick I can't I can't say for certain how often it occurs. It seems like a 'hot reboot' if that makes sense.

When I worked in corporate America, I had no issues taking the time to do a clean rebuild every couple weeks, but now that I'm in business for myself, I have not the time or inclination. It takes to long to get everything back to how I want it. So I try to not flash daily, trying to not 'dirty up' the rom.

Anyway, I do appreciate your time and effort. I'll comment in a few days on the stability of this kernel. Yeah, the reboots can be that intermittent.

I used the media scanner in trickster a while ago when my external SD crapped out and I had to replace it... Worked fine in that instance.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
No dice, unfortunately. Same cursor allocation exception happened half an hour ago. On the plus side, no touch errors (probably because of MPDecision.

Leads me to think it's some sort of memory error, since allt he exceptions seem to occur on creating something in memory. Not sure how Android handles things, but I don't think it's a bad sector, as this seems to happen on write, not read. I dunno where to go from here. Guess I need to start learning some of the workings of android and phone architecture.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Just throwing this out here but what scheduler are you using with your governor? Noop is supposed to be one of the best for devices with flash drives at allocating access to read/write. Maybe it will handle the memory requests better and not crash? Again, just an idea. :rolleyes:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ¶ha€dru$:
7.4 has been good to me but always have 6.23 ready :beer:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I'll give that a go, thanks! I've been using either the default (usually cfq or deadline) or fiops. Any idea is a good one if I haven't tried it!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cfoucher:
Would it be possible to get the red led working on the E971?

Great ROM! Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
Seconded
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Thanks for this suggestion Jank4AU. I hadn't thought about that, but back in the SGS2 days, my phone HATED sio... Would frequently BSoD. Not sure why I hadn't remembered that. Off to noop I go, as well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Had a random reboot while reading the news. This was different than normal...it took a long time to come back up and my wallpaper was set to that default "blue live wallpaper" and kernel was changed back to it's default as well. I was toying with interactive vs on-demand. I reflashed 0708.

The device feels smoother with the default kernel. I haven't tried ME's kernel, but I felt the same with smoocha kernel last time I tried it.

I'll try them both over the next week or so. After I try noop. /crossing fingers

Thank you.

I have been using ROW, and it seems to be pretty darn fast. I believe that it favors Reads Over Writes, and thus makes the phone a bit snappier during normal day to day use. But, I may be wrong on my assumption.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
Best so far in terms of speed and stability!

However, has anyone else encountered a 60% drop in battery in a split second? I have reflashed, and recalibrated the battery (100%->wipe stats->drain) to no avail.

Is it software related at this point or more likely a broken battery? I have already opened the unit to replace the LCD, and rooted and unlocked BL, so I shouldn't have warranty right?

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
No warranty at this point Fwiw my battery is dropping insanely fast at this point though. I mean I could have a dead battery in 4 hours barely using the phone dying fast.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
I was under the impression that 4 hrs screen time is god like with this phone. Underclocked to 192Mhz, avoid your phone, and you may get a day out of it.

I have found a replacement (BL-T5) battery for $15 USD shipped which is the same as the Nexus 4, so it's not a huge deal, just surprising since LG claimed their Li-on polymer cells could handle 800 cycles before significant wear. Sour taste in the mouth.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
I think its aosp related. Never had it happen with a stock ROM and stock based kernel.

I've never had it happen on Rootbox with the built in kernel. Tried a few other kernels and all of them did this. happened on every other AOSP ROM, regardless of kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drock212:
Only time I've seen a drop like that is right after flashing. I'll have 80% then once it's booted from the flash it'll be down to 30%. Never seen drain like that during regular every day use. Although this morning I did noticed after about an hour off charger I was down to 98% then a couple a minutes later back to 100% (self charging feature in ROM?! LOL) but that's the weirdest battery thing I've ran into.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
Uhuho now I am stuck on the black screen of death after battery running out and may need to LGNPST back to stock.

Unresponsive with Vol up, down, both + power.

Stupid stupid me didn't backup in 3 weeks and I am gonna lose all my internal pics (unless I can get them back without booting somehow? Tunnel?).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I've had this happen before with a bad flash. My battery went from about 75% to 6% in about 20 minutes. It even drained on the charger and got SUPER hot. It wasn't on this ROM though. I was able to resolve the problem by reflashing.

Just let it charge for a while, while it's off. Then try to reboot to CWM and reflash.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
What he said. Plug it into a wall charger and it should turn back on, then show the charging animation. Hold down the power button and it should actually boot normally. Backup your photos and go back to stock if you don't want to risk it happening again.

BTW, if it does boot normally, and you're using a 3rd party kernel, just dirty flash to restore the stock Rootbox kernel. Wipe cache and dalvik. You don't have to factory reset or wipe anything else.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
Thanks gents! Charged for 2 hrs and it booted up, backed up DCIM and now downloading latest stock rootbox.

I will return to a stock Kernel if still not solved, and then this ROM if the problem persists and just order a new battery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Just had two wicked, random reboots in a row, back to back. Last kmesg: http://db.tt/IVnPDfsr

This is the only way I know how to pull/post them, at least from my phone! :D

As you know, I run a pretty good uv but normally haven't had any problems. Dance dance gov. Was streaming Sirius satellite to my bt headset at the time of the first reboot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aTMoZFeaR:
It could be an audio DSP if you have one enabled, I am using the Acid sound mod v8 for lg modded by some korean guy, it works fine but sometimes (dunno if this happens with the built-in DSP, I uninstall it as soon as I boot up) it causes my phone to reset when adjusting the volumes or picking a song, I have tried many players, Apollo (from F-droid), PowerAmp, Rocket Player etc and they all do it sometimes, I am fine with it it usually goes away after the first reboot, I don't really mind though.

If this isn't what is causing it sorry, just trying to help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] PATRICKismyHERO:
When I had the Rom, probably the 7-4 edition, I still had random reboots.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I just had another one this morning with the new kernel he let me try last night. I pulled a last_kmsg from that as well. I'm going to try bumping up my voltages and see if that stabilizes it. I had previously been running this setup for about the last couple weeks with little or no issues. Oh well, sometimes we just have to compensate our own tweaks to match the strengths or modifications to the code. No worries either way, just trying to help him make it as stable as can be. :cowboy:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
It's possible you just haven't witnessed other reboots. They often happen very quick. So if it's in your pocket, the event can go unnoticed.

And at least once, the reboot event did not affect the reported system uptime. I do not know how that is possible, but I know the uptime should have been hours not days. Since the issue is beyond my understanding, I haven't tracked this quirk. Perhaps it's normal behavior for hot boots.

Sent from my Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I've made a habit of checking battery in system settings and the reboots are usually pretty easy to spot. However, you still could be right that I just haven't noticed them all. If that's the case then I'm okay with that as it doesn't affect my normal usage, you know? Anyway, I've bumped up several of my higher clock voltages by 25 to see if that does it for me. I had my 1512GHz uv'd to 1000mV. It's at 1025 now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dontremember:
First time I realized I was getting a "hot boot" the phone was plugged via usb to my laptop with an active adb session running. The rootbox boot logo came up, when I unlocked the phone I was prompted to pick Nova or Trebuchet, and Trickster announced completion of settings changes. Everything happened as if I had powered it up from cold.

However, given that the adb session was never terminated and uptime was multiple hours instead of just several minutes, I feel that this wasn't a real reboot. Is it possible that something triggered the bootanimation process without an actual reboot?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jtsurfs:
I just did a clean install of the 7/8 build and noticed the volume rocker does not control ringer volume but seems to control media volume. Only way to control ringer volume is through settings menu access. Meaning hit the volume adjustment, then tap the settings button to expand the volume adjustment to show all volume adjustments, then adjust the ringer. I can't comment on recent builds having the same issue as I was about a month behind. I can comment that I have had some hot restarts but usually my phone was not running when they occurred so I can really add anything helpful as to when it happened. I know my phone restarted as I received a notification that Trickster was set at boot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iamtha1:
setting rootbox settings uncheck media volume and check again will be good
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jtsurfs:
Tried that and did not fix the issue, tried unchecking that option and did not fix the issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iamtha1:
worked for me if it is not checked check and uncheck again..... or vice versa then reboot

see if that works
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jtsurfs:
Got it, had to reboot I guess. Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I'm still seeing them, at the same intervals, since houstonn bumped the voltages up on his default kernel - I've been running his release voltages to monitor. I pretty much see these happen roughly every 22 hours or so - sometimes up into the 30s of hours for uptime, but usually about once per battery charge cycle, and most frequently when I'm charging (and sleeping). Because they are so infrequent, I'm not really sure how to figure out if it's the charging that's triggering them or they just happen to occur when on charge because of the coincidence with how much uptime I have when charging. I am working night shifts for this week, so I was hoping I might see different behavior because of my different schedule - but had #2 on this up cycle (see below) while sleeping during the day and charging.

I have been watching them for a while - these hot boots DO NOT reset my uptime timer in phone status - I don't know if that means it's not a complete reboot or not. I have trickster mod set to notify when it re-applies settings on reboot - which it does every time I get one of these hot reboots. This throws a notification in the shade with the time of application, so it makes it easy to know when your hot reboot happened. Then I go into status to see total uptime, subtract the difference between when I checked and when trickster said it re-applied settings, and I know pretty close when the reboot happened in terms of the run.

In my current run, I've had 2 hot reboots. Both were while on the charger and I was sleeping. One at approximately 23 hours up, and a recent one at 44 hours up. My uptime timer is currently at 46 hours and 44 minutes. I saw Jank4AU's suggestion about switching I/O schedulers, so this last one at least I was running noop. I don't remember now (hazards of night shifts and little sleep) if I had switched before or after the previous one...so I may have 2 reboots on noop, or only one.

It seems like some (many??) of the posts in here with logs indicate some type of java out of memory error. Is it possible there's some memory cache somewhere that is only getting used by some of us, due to installed apps or some other user dependent variable, that isn't getting cleared and once full triggers the reboot to clear itself? (disclaimer - I don't know jack about android development or programming). I'm curious as to what kinds of uptimes the users who get the reboots are getting - perhaps those not getting them are frequently rebooting for other reasons?? I've been tempted to set tasker to do a scheduled reboot for me, but it's kind of a pain because these things happen usually a little less than every 24 hours for me - if it was over 24 it would be easy to do that. I think 41 hours up or so has been my max between them, though there have been a couple times I've gotten them back to back like Jank4AU just did.

At this point I've pretty much decided to accept them - they don't really cause any significant operational problems - and for me they are definitely not going to stop me from using this ROM. I hope we can track down the cause at some point but for me not a big deal if we don't.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cuoreesitante:
Quicky question regarding flashing:

When flashing an updated ROM, what do I need to wipe for it to be considered a clean wipe? Also does a clean wipe scrub the apps/data that I already have?

Thanks. If this works then this rom will be the first of 3 I've tried recently to have most features working and not drop insane battery life.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Good idea on using trickster mod notifications to track the hot boots.

As you've both said, they normally don't cause an issue. But I've had a few times when it happened while using GPS or on a call....that's very embarrassing when you have an iPhone person asking what's wrong with your robot. /sigh

[AT&T LG Optimus G] cuoreesitante:
Thanks.

But it will wipe the apps (such as games, mail accounts, etc), with the data associated (emails, log ins, saved games)? If that's the case, how are you backing them up and restoring them? or do you really jsut reinstall everything?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
Thanks for the NFC fix, this rom is pretty much the only one that can last more than a few hours off the charger for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Use Titanium Backup (TiBu) or Rom Toolbox Pro. They will backup your data and apps. Then you can just restore them like new. You can even create an update.zip from TiBu that you flash after you install the ROM and it reinstalls everything right there. There is also a method to backup your SMS/MMS and call history, wifi hotspots, etc. You can get them both on the Play Store.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] phoenix_rizzen:
Correct. All your music, documents, pictures, downloads, etc will remain on the /sdcard (or /sd-ext) filesystem. But, all the installed apps and their settings are gone. Clean slate. New OS install. :)

I have an automatic Titanium Backup of all user apps scheduled for every Friday (I like to play with the OS install on the weekend). If I'm mucking around during the week, I do a manual backup of all user apps.

Then wipe and install the new ROM and gapps.

If I'm on a wireless network with lots of battery left, then I enable the "Restore from this account" option in the initial setup of the phone (during the GMail login). That downloads and installs all the user apps for me. Then I do a manual "data only" restore of my important apps via Titanium Backup.

If I'm not on wireless, or don't have much battery left, then I uncheck "Restore from this account", and manually restore "app + data" via Titanium Backup.

Unfortunately, this only covers user level apps. System settings are not saved, SMS messages are not saved (that's a separate step), etc. So there is a bunch of extra configuration needed afterward to get the phone back to "perfect". This is one of the reasons I use/recommend houstonn's RootBox and BaNkS' minimal gapps package ... the fewer apps installed to /system, the less I have to manually reconfigure after an install. :) Keep the OS small!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
So it worked for you?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cuoreesitante:

Does this only happen on outgoing calls, or incoming as well?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aTMoZFeaR:
Get TWRP and use the wipe feature, or alternatively you can clear /system, /data and /cache + dalvik, that is also known as a factory reset as far as i know.
