[LG Optimus 2x] CromoPT:
Hi, first experience with this rom and I have some questions, when I set transparency for notification drawer to zero a slider for brightness appears on top of notification drawer. Even with brightness slider option disabled.

Not sure why this is happening, any clue?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, that's a bug in the brightness slider I've been meaning to fix for quite some time.

A SystemUI reboot triggers the brightness slider - a reboot should make it go away again.

The commit is by [MENTION=5124291]Firtecy[/MENTION] and the reason I didn't look into this issue closer is simple:

He's been working on expanding and improving the commit even further, including the option for a volume slider.

In fact, that's the reason there's a build in the /test folder at basketbuild, it ships the update - but there are still some major bugs (please don't report any bugs at all, I'm well aware of them).

[MENTION=5124291]Firtecy[/MENTION] has been meaning to fix the issues but didn't find the time, yet.

I would allow long lasting discussions about each and every bug that is affecting my ROMs - as long as they're as development-driven as the recent posts regarding GPS.

Unfortunately most "bug reports" in this thread are lacking a lot of detail and development focus and don't add any new useful insights into usually already reported (and thus known) bugs.

Best example: Posts regarding camera issues. I know the camera is flawky, but I don't know how to fix them (I would if I could).

Same thing applies to 95% of the other bugs posted here. Logs won't help anymore as I've studied them to extent.

For GPS this discussion indeed brought new insights to my attention and the next build will include them which will hopefully improve the situation to all users.

If someone got new insights into other bugs be my guest, but unfortunately I'm not too optimistic about that.

So what's your point? And where's your double standard?
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
my wife is also getting camera crashes.. i'll try to capture a log, though it's pretty random.

meanwhile, is it possible to go back to the camera from your PA build? the new camera is really counter intuitive.. i've tried just moving gallery.apk, but that didn't really work.. anything else to try..?
[LG Optimus 2x] CromoPT:
I notice that when I have a notification everything is ok, but when notification drawer is empty slider appears, even when reboot slider is still there.

Good to know that is a known bug, thanks for the answer, keep up the good work
[LG Optimus 2x] Gonox:
When you recive a notification the brightness slider dissaperar and fix it :) thats how I make it dissapear

hi

i install 2 diferents roms (4,4) and have many bugs,,

im waiting, but is a good work for developers ,try to get kitkat for this phone,

4.4 is more fluid than 4.3

sorry my english
[LG Optimus 2x] CromoPT:
Yeah, I noticed that too.

I found another issue, when I install the rom I have service from my mobile network, but then, I don't know why, I lost service and it cann't get it back even rebooting.

I have signal, but don't have service (No Service Found), I think that is CM's bug because CM10.2 have the same issue, anyone can confirm?
[LG Optimus 2x] MrKra:
How Fluid a Rom is depends on the installed apps ;)

A Romitself regularly is smooth (without installed apps)
[LG Optimus 2x] pijas82:
hi

I compared both ROM4.3 ROM4.4 and without apps.

to 4.4 is much more fluid

GPS groundhog day?

I am not sure if this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150438 has been posted here before!? I seems to me that the "missing lto.dat on P990" issue occured, and was discussed in July 2011 first!?

It works excellent, thanks for your help! I get TTFF = 6..12 seconds even indoor. Even on places far away from the window where I never got a fix before.

My wife has a P990 too. It is still on stock LG GingerBread 2.3.4 (I know, shame on me! ;) ). There is a \data\gps directory but lto.dat is missing too. GPS TTFF is poor. I will test if there is any improvement by the lto.dat patch too.

Another observation on my clean CM10.2 P990: prior to copying that lto.dat file there was a \data\gps\gldata.sto (short term orbit?) file. Without a lto.dat file this gldata.sto never changes and therefore it is always outdated. This could mean that without lto.dat always a GPS cold start is required. With lto.dat gldata.sto continuously changes contents and file time.

Proven working assumption: LG software sucks really!

Working assumption: Broadcom GPS chip requires to have a file \data\gps\lto.dat

Tonyp, pengus77, can you trace which ROM/Kernel/App etc. instance reads lto.dat? I am a M$ Windows dev (sorry for that). Under Windows it is a really easy job using the Process Monitor by Sysinternals to hook in a file system access event monitor.

Could it also be that not the CPU but the GPS chip reads this file via DMA?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
build 23

The goo.im build server had some issues as well (Murphys Law..) and the xda one still isn't fixed, but at least the former seems to have sorted them out (although it's slow as hell).

So great news, a new build is up with quite the changes (and thus will hopefully answer the fearful PMs I got if I am about to deprecate the 2x because I got the N5 - I will not!).

Changelog:

added auto downloading the lto.dat file (for gps assistion data). Hopefully this brings up GPS back to the CM10.1 standards (at least after the first fix aka TTFF).

It's enabled by default, but will only update the file via WiFi by default (check the new option at Settings - Location access)

Properly enabled GPU accelleration.

I've found out that our device didn't fully utilize hardware accelleration. The reason is our low RAM - and enabling hwa takes about 8mb.

But with a GPU as powerful as ours I think those 8mb are well spent, we'll see how it turns out, make sure to post feedback.

In a first quick test the UI does seem more responsive.

Note that this is NOT equal to the "Force GPU rendering" option in the developer section! This one should stay off, as apps that for various reasons do not use GPU rendering shouldn't get forced into it.

enabled 2nd core auto hotplug by default. This will hopefully get rid of the plug-in BSODs of people not reading the threads (and thus not enabling the option at the KowalskiManager).

updated Torch overlay (this does hopefully fix the missing torch widgets some people had - please post feedback)

updated the OpenGL version. I have no idea how and if we'll notice that.

Thanks [MENTION=1200697]DJNoXD[/MENTION] for sending me a pull request.

removed the CMUpdater which slipped in under my nose.

I've slapped in a new more generic bootanimation, courtecy of +Dima Skvarskyi

Please make sure to post extensive feedback, if it's positive I'd like to up the stable version to this or the next one, as there are now massive changes compared to the current build 20 :)

As always, as soon as everything has been tested it will go into a new clean CM10.2 build as well (no experiments to be done there).
[LG Optimus 2x] DJNoXD:
Hello tony

I send you another pull request. It is about how to use the default bionic repository without changing anything for the tegra2.

Its working fine for me (testedw with 4.3 & 4.4).

[LG Optimus 2x] sokinso:
As I am on dual boot on Rom 2 I tried miui for some time and messed around with custom bootloaders.

So now I am stuck on a custom bl of miui how can I get back to the stock one guys?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Use the AIO Toolkit from Spyros to flash back the stock bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
wanted to share the bootanimation that I use ;)

i definitely do not know where I downloaded it, so if someone knows where it is from, send me a message so that i can mention the creator.

i chose it because it is like our phone is on fire with tonyp's and pengus work on it ;)

it starts like a normal red cyanogenmod-animation but with android in the middle, then flashes and is "on fire"
[LG Optimus 2x] sokinso:
Sorry I meant bootanimation so I use 2 Roms tonyp s and djangomanouche s not very often.the bootanimation of old miui(is not flashed now) it's set(stuck) now and I don't know how to get the stock bootanimation back or use a custom one like the one above.

What can I do?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
I don't remember well, but I think you need to place the bootanimation.zip on /system/media. There should be a bootanimation.zip in there already, so rename it to something like bootanimation.bak first just in case you want it back later.

amazing rom thanks [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] .. Thanks for all your hardwork.. :)

Just one quick question .. i couldn't see Viper app in there ? Have i missed something i think it was mentioned viper is bundled with the Rom
[LG Optimus 2x] MrKra:
Which 4.4 Rom did you use for P990?
[LG Optimus 2x] bentcissé:
You can test the 4.4 slimrom project

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

@tonyp Thanks for your hard work! The build 23 works like a charm! :eek:

I've found a small bug. I've a ui system issue when I take a picture with halo in background. There is a possibility to fix this or simply close automatically halo when I run the camera app?

At least the ROM is awesome:thumbup::thumbup:
[LG Optimus 2x] SamReciter:
TheRom 23: first day use - absolutely stable. no problems whatsoever - and GPS fix is amazing. in the flat in seconds. never even got GPS here before.

Greets...
[LG Optimus 2x] thorstenhirsch:
Build 23 seems to be the perfect ROM for playing Ingress. Thank you very much, breeno.net, for fixing GPS. It's really awesome now!

And thank you, tony, especially for changing the boot animation. I know that's a controversial point and a matter of taste, so I'm glad you decided to include a minimalistic one.

Looks like build 23 could be the new stable build ...maybe?
[LG Optimus 2x] amarprat87:
Build 23 is fluid. GPS performance is amazing.

GPS performance comparison:

CM 10.1 - 9 fix out of 12 satellites found, mostly within 10-15 seconds

CM 10.2 till build 22 - 5 fixes out 7 satellites found, took 20-3- secs

CM 10.2, build 23 - 10 fixes out of 11 satellites found within 10 seconds.

This update is god sent, as I recently moved to a new city and was struggling with roads :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Ajsh:
I sense the gps is more reliable, it always locks. But I had some weird behaviour where the gps would drop and reconnect. Will have to test that.

I also feel that the ui is a bit more smooth when scrolling and other animations.

So far no bugs.

Does the background of the notification drawer fade in and or? Is that new? :P
[LG Optimus 2x] cuttysark76:
Build 23 changes were ROM or Kernel related? Are they portable to Stock based ROM's?
[LG Optimus 2x] Fíghter02:
Well, all the updates are ROM updates, but I guess you can say something like the new default setting of 2nd core auto hot plug in Kowalski Manager is kernel related.

I think all ROM's can utilize the GPS fix since it is just a file which must be kept updated on the device.
[LG Optimus 2x] calvxrr:
I I don't know how you do this, but for me gps doesn't work. I'm still locking 5 satellites, like in earlier builds. I'm wiping all data, cache, sdcard and system partition. Only [MENTION=4711029]sgsplus[/MENTION] fix works for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yup, I think 23 is the new stable. Didn't notice any real (new) issues so far and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive.

The next update will probably be based on M2 which included a couple new features from CM, so this would make a perfect stable before I'm merging those in.

Will wait 1-2 more days, then declare it the new stable if nothing major turns up.

Yes, these new animations are due to my changes regarding the hwa acceleration :)
[LG Optimus 2x] :
could this mean the start of the end of the best LG 2X Developers ROMs?

anyway, great ROM, gonna have to upgrade from 22 now that the impressions are good!
[LG Optimus 2x] calvxrr:
I also don't see any bugs, and yeah it is more smooth and rock stable.
[LG Optimus 2x] calatemaze:
I'll agree on calling it stable so far. No bugs, super smooth, everything works as it should. :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
What is the file date of the file \data\gps\lto.dat ?

Check file size and file time of \data\gps\gldata.sto. Do they change over time when GPS is switched on?
[LG Optimus 2x] pijas82:
Viber works ? Voice message and calls? Candy crush? I had install another kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Fíghter02:
Some feedback for build 23.

The GPS fix works wonders for me aswell. TTFF is much shorter and now I can get a fix from up to 11 satellites instead of 6. Just like a couple of others here I can now also get a fix from places in my apartment where I previously never got a fix.

The enabled GPU accelleration does make the UI a bit more smooth and I love the notification drawer drop down animation. :D

The Torch widget is restored for me when updating from build 22 -> 23. However, I only noticed it was missing in build 22 because I wanted to test the changes in build 23. ^^

I can't say anything about battery life or all day stableness yet, since I just updated a few hours ago. Great job tonyp!

List of known issues (as of 2013/11/21)

Diogomike, I don't know if Viber works as I don't use it. Would anybody else like to share Viber experience on build 23?

The voice messages and calls never failed on my P990. For Candy Crush see known issue #6 below. You could have found the answers to many of your questions by using the "search in this thread" function.
​

Anyway, as a 12 month reader of XDA forums I learned that many users don't search. They like to post one liners that are most often useless for other readers. Often some senior members start spending time complaining this afterwards, which is also useless at all.

I would like to help preventing such one liners at least those related to known issues. IMHO it would be very helpful to have a unified list of known issues with the same quality like the excellent change log maintained by tr@p. Each issue should have an everlasting unique identifier for everybody's reference. Let me start a draft for build 22/23:

Edit: This list has been moved to post #5 on page 1 of this thread! click here for new location

Please don't get me wrong: I am not complaining at all and I don't ask for am ETA. I just want to help simplifying our communication and to prevent end-users disappointment.

With TheROM or "clean" CM10.2 I have a daily usable P990 with good performance. Don't forget to donate to Pengus77, tonyp, feav, spyrosk etc. !

The above list is to my best knowledge. I can neither guarantee it is correct nor it is complete. Please help to make it better.
[LG Optimus 2x] pijas82:
You are correct, I apologize, so I commented the Viber, because other builds worked.

Subject closed.

For me BT and HDMI are not bugs, not use.

Flashing Status Bar

First of all, great ROM. I had been using TonyP ParanoidAndroid Rom for 7 or 8 months but finally decided to take the plunge with TheROM. Now that I've been using it for a couple of days I think it's the best ROM I've tried in responsiveness and fluidity. :good:

Whilst everything seems to work great, I have noticed that the Status Bar sometimes sits there flashing once every second - don't know why, but I noticed it happening when the phone was searching for a GPS signal. Even after it had locked on, it continued to flash every second for some time after this but did eventually stop (occasionally flashing once or twice at a far less frequent rate thereafter).

Looking back through the thread I have seen mention of flashing status bars before but I'm not aware that there has been any resolution or investigation into it so I've attached a set of logs in the hope that the cause can easily be identified.

Not a deal breaker by any means - the other benefits of this ROM vastly outweigh this niggle - but anything to make this ROM even better.

Once again - thanks for all your efforts Tony, long may they continue :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Weird, cause the rest of us have gps lock within the time the map are loaded. After breeno investigated it and Tonyp included the results after that discussion into build 23 I must say it's better than ever :)

Btw, I miss breeno, his posts are really meaningful reading.

Report from very happy user!

This ROM (+ KK norh) is amazing (coming from 'Look Ma'): it is fast and snappy. Also after some days of intensive usage I have nearly any lags and incredible battery performance (even without Greenify). I love the Hybrid settings. AnTuTu score is 10448.

I have some problems with GPS TTFF, but after first fix GPS is smooth. I am experimenting with BB v30a (coming from v10d). As a last resort, I could try sgspluss' Fast GPS fix. Sometimes statusbar flickers when GPS is running. BT audio is working fine for media, but not for calls.

I feel a donation is coming up :P

Thanks I had thought of that. I've flash the kk norh but i've the same problem. Anyone can test it? Or simply is a instragram app issue?
[LG Optimus 2x] NoDze:
You're not the only one. Uploading videos was a failure on both Vine and Instagram. norh and rh, both AND even on the stock ICS version. It's possibly the app's fault.

Did I miss a step ? I am currently on rooted stock 4.0.4
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
Thanks for the praise! :D

As for not having Internet access for more than seven days, I tested that this week using older LTO files. The moment the LTO data runs out the GPS reverts back to slower and less fixes.

If you know you will be away from the Internet for more than seven days then you can manually download a 30 day LTO to your SD card. You would then wait until you are off the grid, and then copy that file to /gps/data/lto.dat. Make sure you retain the same permissions as the old file (644 / rw-r--r--).

You can download the latest 30 day LTO file here: Latest 30 day lto.dat file.

If you are going into the rain forest for more than 30 days then you had better have a lot of extra batteries and a satellite modem. ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
First of all:

I've declared 23 as the new stable now: There shouldn't be a reason to hold back in flashing it :good:

Then: I've just had to clear some PM messages, as my (already extended) storage cap of 5000 messages has been reached :eek:

Updated the OP regarding ViPER and will look into 2nd core hotplug not working as intended.

I added "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/auto_hotplug/auto_hotplug_enabled" into the init.d script, I thought this should do it, strange.

Use pengus CWM

Great, I love the idea!

Do you want to keep maintaining this list? Then I'm going to get this moved to the first page :)

Actually I'd like to thank the following persons for their help with GPS:

[MENTION=5060779]DaChris2k13[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4920940]sgspluss[/MENTION]: for initially posting about the lto.dat file over in my CM10.2 thread

[MENTION=5458952]breeno.net[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5399879]echo_21[/MENTION] for pushing the discussion along

[MENTION=5439590]farbing[/MENTION]: for linking me to CMs commit which I ended up including

[LG Optimus 2x] sgspluss:
First thank you Tony for fixing this I am sure many many user will be happy to get fast and stable GPS fix now :)

Also i have to say thank you to all they helped out to fix GPS, this is how development working everyone helping everyone :good:

Tapatalked from my GT-I9001
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
I wrapped your line as follows for testing:

ls -l /sys/kernel > /data/95kowalski.out

ls -l /sys/kernel/auto_hotplug > /data/95kowalski.out

cat /sys/kernel/auto_hotplug/auto_hotplug_enabled > /data/95kowalski.out

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/auto_hotplug/auto_hotplug_enabled

cat /sys/kernel/auto_hotplug/auto_hotplug_enabled > /data/95kowalski.out

The output shows that the auto_hotplug_enabled file exists at the time init runs the 95kowalski script.

The auto_hotplug_enabled contents are 0 before your addition to the file, whether the value was 0 or 1 before reboot.

My final wrapper shows that the contents of auto_hotplug_enabled has been changed to 1.

Based on the timestamp on the auto_hotplug_enabled file, the Kowalski Manager is probably changing the value when it starts up on boot. The timestamp matches up very closely with the time I receive notice that KM has been granted superuser.

UPDATE: I realized I could disable KM and see if the script value sticks. It does, so KM is the culprit.

If I'm right, KM makes it useless to change KK values using init.d. Is there a way to preload KM with values? I haven't found an obvious conf or xml file.
