I think the issue with not being able to download from the play store comes from restoring accounts (on a clean flash) using titanium backup. When I do that, the account shows up and data synchronizes, but the play store cannot download new apps or update installed ones. I have to remove and re-add the account.

Hey houstonn I've been running vrb forever now i have canadian e971 anyway stupid question is there anything special I need to do to install the updates since its now in art thread or is it the same as updating from the Canadian thread? Thanks again GREAT ROM

2 hot boots about 12 hours apart both when off charger since I installed 7-8-13 these are very quick boots with boot animation showing for a few seconds. They are precipitated by screen backlit but black and soft keys lit. Power button will cycle soft key and screen backlight and then the screen goes dark on its own and the boot animation shows up. Voltages are untouched and I am running Wheatley and noop. This has been present on the last three versions for me. I installed lumberjack today and will try to get lastksmg and or a log cat.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geokilla:
That is the one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
What information can the users provide that would be helpful in tracking down this reboot issue?

- A list of all installed apps so we can look for a common app? Or perhaps send them to someone in case folks don't want to share their app list for some reason.

- Run a logcat? If so, how soon after the reboot does it need to ran before it's a useless report?

- ? ? ?

So far, I see reboots happening on and off charger.

Seems to occur around each 12 or 24 hrs cycle.

It happens with at least ADW and Nova launchers.

Very common that after the reboot you will have several apps that have updated.

Doesn't matter if the phone is sitting quietly in your pocket or actively in use (reading mail or talking on phone).

No reports of significant heat concerns at the time of the event.

I love my phone doc....can you make it all better?

I think it's just the fact that it's not a stable ROM... as many said, it's actually getting less and less stable..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iamtha1:
I've been running 7-8 build since 7-8. With no reboots mainly with ME emotions kernel... I love over clocked **** always have :) no problems here except with videos gotta turn of hw overlay to get them to play but ME is looking into that
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Maybe?? Anyone have any ideas on how to diagnose/track such an issue?

I sometimes get update or notification failure issues with some apps when restored from TiBU. Facebook seems to be the biggest culprit for me, but I also get lots more FB notifications than anything else. The only thing that fixes it seems to be an uninstall of FB followed by a fresh install from the playstore, rather than my TiBU backup. I apparently didn't get a hangouts notification yesterday as well, so G+ may be suffering the same issue.

This sounds just about how mine behave. Please let me know if you have luck with lumberjack - I have had nothing but problems with all the logging apps when trying to get last_kmsg (may be user error for all I know) so I grab them manually from the terminal, which works fine.

I haven't tried other launchers - I'm using Nova Prime.

I too get the stack of app updates after reboot quite frequently - but I think that may be an interaction of multi-dpi playstore mods and multi-dpi roms. I have always had issues where the playstore doesn't always update properly when running multi-dpi roms - noticed it really bad on my SGS2 with PACman and RootBox builds there. Maybe it's just something I've been doing wrong - but I think the playstore gets a force-refresh on reboot and that's why the stack of apps needing update shows up then. I DO get updates sometimes without a reboot though.

I don't think this ROM is any less stable than it has been for quite a while - and not any less stable than many other custom ROMs out there. I've had significantly worse problems on other ROMs (on other devices) that were also billed as 'stable'. In the context of a ROM development forum, I don't think 'stable' is intended to equal 'bug free'. It means that for the most part your phone is going to work as intended. These are ALL Beta builds, at least as I see it. Hell, the CM team doesn't even consider their monthlies worthy of RC status, I don't think...

If you're getting one random reboot a day, like me, that equates to 30 seconds of device downtime (it's probably more like 15 seconds, but I'll use 30 for the sake of argument) that's still better than 99.96% uptime (86,400 seconds per day). If you absolutely depend on your phone for better uptime than that for critical operations, you need to be on a factory stock ROM - a development ROM is not for you - especially one as frequently updated to the bleeding-edge as houstonn's RootBox. From my experience, for a ROM as frequently updated as this one (particularly where you have major contributions coming in from 3 different sources - AOKP, CM and Paranoid) houstonn does a better job than many devs at keeping things running well. It certainly doesn't help that this reboot issue only effects a smallish group of users, and not the dev's device, and the logs apparently don't collect the needed info very well or at all.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
This is happening ever since I merged with the call bug fix from Shel when it was merged into CM. since then there was a different bug of spamming and heavy cpu usage and that too has since been fixed. There's a new merge and hopefully this merge will fix this issue.

Everyone needs to stop posting about this over and over.. I'm fully aware of this. Cluttering the thread of more of this will not fix it.

I would like you to quote the "many said" ppl. and as for less and less stable, that's outta my control since it runs perfectly fine for me, the issue i ran into was the call end error.

so, how does this post in any way help further development.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Personal opinions are to be kept out of this thread, this is not facebook, twitter or a personal blog

Same as you would just as before.

this happens when using titanium backup. fresh install without any third party software has always installed everything from the store perfectly fine for me.

I use stock launch and never have an issue.

[MENTION=2734563]dandrumheller[/MENTION] - you took most of the words right out of my mouth. well said. and thank you..

I will post an update after this post. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
NEW BUILD!!!

July.11.2013

vold: exFAT support

* Add support for exFAT using FUSE implementation.

vold: Add NTFS read+write support via ntfs-3g

* Use ntfs-3g for full NTFS support.

* Original code from Freescale.

Storage Settings: Allow user to trigger a volume rescan

This change allows to trigger a rescan of a volume with the next restrictions:

- Internal volumes if they are emulates

- Primary volumes

- Non-Removable volumes

FileUtils: add method to get UUID of a volume

Notification cancellation fixes:

Permission should only allow cancellation of other app notifications, not enqueueing.

Fix checkapi breakage.

Fix requery behaviour of MemoryCursor.

As we can't restore the contents of the cursor window, we need to keep

it on deactivation so we can restore it on requery().

Also backup profiles file via backup manager.

New Event: ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_SMS

Avoid adding FORWARD_LOCK flag to an updated system app

Consider the following case:

1. An app exists in /system/app or /vendor/app. (i.e, it's a system app)

2. If the app would be updated as a forward-lock app by downloading from

market(google play), then it would be installed in /data/app-private.

3. Moreover, if it would be updated by the whole system image (i.e, FOTA

or something like that), then the app would be applied a FORWARD_LOCK

flag.

The app SHOULD NOT have a FORWARD_LCOK flag. Because the resource path

of such app does not refer to the proper resources to access

Fixed incorrect calculation of dirty invalidation area

Padding was already taken into consideration before calling

invalidateDrawable in ProgressBar.

Fix deadlock of WebViewCoreThread

There was a deadlock in destroy process.

Investigation showed that WebViewCoreThread is waiting some

callbacks but in this case WebViewCoreThread can not resume

itself not to call notify method.

phone: Set default preference values for blacklist option

phone: Enable the blacklist by default

Also show contact name in blacklist

Make contacts app aware of blacklist setting

Also fix up notify option key while we're at changing the user's

settings ;)

Prompt users Mms can't receive msgs if storage is full

Telephony framework will report operators Sms Memory is full if

Device storage running out. Then operators won't send the target

any messages until storage is available next time.

Mms: Templates: back button goes to preferences not conversation list

Updated call bug fix merged with cm's upstream

geeb kernel:

added fsync

added basic sound control (WIP)

enjoy!

DAMMIT HOUSTONN! My battery life was just starting to stabilize - now you go and make me update again!! :p :laugh: :laugh:

Also, switched to CFQ scheduler last night - now at 24.5 hours since last random reboot - best stretch by a couple hours in a while.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Its hard for me to determine some things since my installs are always fresh and perhaps I don't install very many 3rd party apps. Everything I need is usually just a few store away clicks and the very few I install through apk that is on my internal.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
As a few others have stated, my reboots always seem to come with app updates when the phone starts back up.

Dunno if that has something to do with it. I've bumped the minimum UV setting up a notch which seems to have helped a bit. Still happens from time to time though

I'm trying a full playstore app reinstall this time, rather than restoring all my user apps via TiBU...I'll just have to grab the few non-playstore ones from TiBU. Maybe that will make a difference.

Edit: Ugh...that didn't go so well. The vast majority of my apps dumped out an error 923 when trying to restore from my G account. Launching the app pages from each individual error notification in the shade allows me to install them manually one by one with no issues. General consensus from a quick google search indicates clearing playstore cache might fix this - not sure how that would work after the fact though. Anyone know if there's a way to re-trigger the batch app restore from Google manually after the initial setup process is complete and you're up and running?

Thanks again for keeping us on the bleeding edge!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I don't know how relevant this is but since Google dropped 4.22 and jdq39 I've been using googles latest bootloader (I think February) and when my phone broke I've been using it on this phone.

The bootloader can be downloaded here http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/misc/JDQ39_bootloader_only.zip and is flash able through cwm. Reminder that this is not Mandatory and only as an option and I'm in no way responsible if you bork your phone. This just replaces your bootloader stacks with the latest . no other files added.

I've been meaning to add this to the op but I feel that since its been months and months without problems that its safe now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] icytrey:
Are there any advantages to the new bootloader? I always like to have the latest and greatest, but i've had zero issues so I'm thinking if it ain't broke don't f@#k with it. :p
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
My very first few words were " I don't know if its relevant" :p

I know on paranoidandroid's second post on the n4 forum mentions that their the latest boot loader is required for stability on their 4.2.2 . having any relevance is still uncertain by myself. I know I run it and no issues. I know that there are other devs that run it without issues.

Is this the boot loader that is visible?.... And do u have to wipe caches when flashing? Thanks 7-11 build badass as usual houstonn
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
It is but I can't remember what version the other is. This is O version not L. Google released with jdq39e 4.2.2

Anyways its there I don't want to clutter on the subject here in this thread there's more info out there on the appropriate thread and I really don't have the time for a hundred questions on it. :p

Its safe to say, if I'm using it. There must be no harm Lol :) i just don't flash stuff for no apparent reason, but doesn't mean if I jump off a bridge you should too . heh

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
I had that same problem no too long ago, I had around 5 gb free too, but no matter what I cleared and deleted, it never freed up more than a couple hundred mb. So it would show that I barely had any storage left when I knew for certain I had more. So I decided to partition the internal storage from clockwork mod recovery. I of course backed up everything important from my internal storage to my SD card. Then when I partitioned it, I had like 11 gb free. Then I moved all my backed up files to my internal storage and now I have more than 7 gb free!

Tried smoocha when it first came out but I seem to prefer your default kernel.

I tried that other kennel you posted yesterday or so...It seemed to be a very basic kernel and my phone didn't care for it..once I had a single random reboot, I reflashed the rom.

I will try smoocha and ME over the next week. I assume you don't want to hear my results unless I do a clean flash. :)

try this rootbox kernel I just built.. it has today's newest prima (which the updated rom didn't) release 3.2.3.144 and tweaked lowmemorykiller

just wipe cache and dalvik .. you wont loose your apps etc.. could be flashed within a min. :)

and maybe try setting your min low freq a step higher so instead of 124mhz try setting the low to 288mhz since I don't have 384mhz stepping.

Hey guys! Great ROM, using it on my Canadian Optimus G, but I'm running into a little issue.

My battery is getting drained every once in a while. I've noticed when it does, "Phone" seems to be using the highest percentage of battery, and my phone get's pretty warm. Any idea why this might be happening? When It's in sleep mode, it uses almost no power, which is absolutely terrific. Overnight lost like 2-3 percent which is brilliant. But the second I use the device, it drains like a percent a minute even with the screen on low as possible, and the "Phone" is using most of the battery.

Would appreciate the help, thanks guys.

So this morning I decided to set up a few custom ringtones for some of my contacts (I usually keep all of them on the same ringtone). This worked fine. When I went to set a notification, as soon as I clicked on "Set Notification" I got "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped.".

***Edit: The "Complete action using" window does not go away, you can actually select a notification but it doesn't keep the setting***

^- Does this happen to anyone else? It's a rather small issue really, just felt like pointing that out.

No way!! Finally! God, I have been waiting for this for soo long! Thank you Houstonn!!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Thanks for mentioning this. I had been seeing weird storage levels lately and finally had a chance to look. Sure enough, I was missing about 4GB of internal storage.

In my case, I copied all my internal stuff off, and then formatted internal storage. I'm just curious if you actually did partition your internal or did you format? I run TWRP, and did not see an option to partition internal, except to add an ext3/ext4 partition. Certainly doesn't mean the option isn't there in CWM...just curious about your approach.

At any rate, thanks again for posting this to give me both the motivation to dig into it and the means to fix it.

Sorry for the off-topicness houstonn.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] devilsmack:
I noticed the same. The reason is when coming from stock, it creates a directory 0 as the default directory and puts all your files in that directory. I flashed this ROM before and flashed back because my SD card couldn't be read because of exfat not being supported( found the fix afterwards). When I flashed back to stock I found all my files were missing but my free memory was low. All I did was copy and paste from directory 0 and deleted that directory to free my space up.

WiFi Issue

I am on the latest build and notice that when I am connected to my work wifi it constantly disconnects and keeps looping to reconnect. Gets stuck obtaining wifi...no issues with my home wifi? Thanks!

EDIT: No issues with stock rom
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
Just wanted to update on my battery issues where I would drop 50 60% in an instance, display inaccurate levels and shut off with 20 30% remaining.

Recovery mode would show the accurate percentage, and would be applied to the OS when rebooted. This got me through a day and nearly a full charge. (i didn't test a stock kernel after I found this recovery work around).

Shortly afterwards, the battery burst and popped the back of the phone off.

Do you think LG would send me another battery if I request to install it myself? It's possible but unlikely that software modding is the culprit, as there should be a hardware shutoff for over charging.

I don't like using the One at all vs the G so maybe it's just faster ordering from China than dealing with LG. Just glad it didn't burn my house down.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I have the feature in the kernel called BLX (battery life extender) you can set it to charge to whatever percent you apply

Edit: just so everyone knows. This is not ROM related. Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aydn:
I will use that when i get it fixed up.

Maybe I did hit 800 cycles. I had to charge it 2 or 4 times a day in the 5 months I've owned the G.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] danial.aw:
happens to me as well... (on the e973)... not sure why it, havent been able to pinpoint it... although I increased voltage which has decreased the frequency of them happening, now its completely very random for me

also if you are using AES security for wifi... try to go to tkip+aes.... ive noticed since I have done that its been a bit more stable

MORE EDIT------

after more testing and undervolting back again...

Found out the issue which causes the wifi to suddenly disappear and reconnect...

I changed my home network from WPA (AES) > WPA2 (AES+TKIP)... and now its been a full day without any such reconnects :D... so I assume this is the issue others are having too
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
I partitioned the internal storage using the partition SD card option in the advance menu in CWM. Formating it really didn't do anything for me. Try seeing if there's an option like that in TWRP where you can partition the SD card but not the external SD.

Thanks. My question was more curiosity about process and differences between cwm and twrp. I didn't see a similar option in twrp, but I certainly could have missed it.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
It shouldn't affect your recovery at all. You should fastboot flash recovery whateverrecovery.img in fastboot when you're at the bootloader

There is no magically possible way that should happen.

Just flashed and still have cwm. Would it still be safe to lgnpst back to stock if needed to fix a soft brick?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I have no idea what you are talking about. Why would you soft brick? And what do you mean still cwm. Its not a recovery. Its an updated bootloader. Its simple you flash and you're done. No clearing cache or wipes plain flash.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Sorry, I was just stating that I flashed without losing recovery. My question was if in the future I end up soft bricking will it be safe to use lgnpst after having the new boot loaders?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Now there that is more clear. :p yes if you lgnpst it will replace all stock back. :) but you shouldn't have to lgpnst unless you're playing around in places you shouldn't be or flashing things you shouldn't be flashing.

edit: sorry I reread your post.. your wording was conflicting (misleading).. and as a result I misunderstood.. you wrote "just flashed still cwm" I thought you meant that you flashed it and you still ended up with cwm , which I thought that you had thought it was a recovery or something and after you flashed you still ended up with the same cwm..
