No, you don't just close the thread. The thread is here for tonyp to make announcements about new releases that merge upstream changes to the code, and/or fix bugs, and/or implement changes that he has decided he wants in his personal P990 ROM. The thread is also here for the user base to report

new

bugs or fixes to known bugs. Those are very important reasons to keep the thread open, and they actually contribute something more than wishful thinking.

The thread would take a lot less time to manage if it wasn't full of pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. Go start a new thread to make your wishes. Seriously.

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Thanks guys. I think [MENTION=5458952]breeno.net[/MENTION] and [MENTION=894978]necrowakker[/MENTION] pretty much hit my opinion and intention with their last posts.

So let's focus again on TheROM itself, okay? :)

I suggest to read the new CM blog entry, it gives some great insights into the future progression of CM10.2 and CM11:

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/this-week-in-cm-nov-9-2013

Especially the new AppOps stuff will be great (and boy I am missing App Ops on my N5!).

As I know more and more people will ask I'll post a second statement regarding Android 4.4:

I might or might not give CM11 a shot, this depends on lots of factors, including pengus 3.1 kernel.

CM11 nightlies are expected to drop by the end of this month, I most likely won't start before that.

Bringing up CM10.2 has been hard work - and I guess CM11 will be even more complex as it's a new major version which requires way more back-compatibility hacks for our old firmaware and blobs.

I expect lots of graphic glitches - it might even be entirely broken due to surfaceflinger/hwcomposer incompatibilities.

We all know there won't be any new updates from LG or Nvidia, so 4.3 might be the EOL of this device.

And pretty please don't constantly ask about it, I'm closely watching CM and other Tegra2 device maintainers.

If there's a good chance of bringing 4.4 up I will look into it - but if I'd have to give a number I'd say there's only a 10-20% chance that Android 4.4 will run properly on our device, so don't hold your breath

As far as I know [MENTION=1200697]DJNoXD[/MENTION] is trying to get Android 4.4 to boot, but without luck so far. You can follow his thread for updates on his attempts.

Last but not least:

I think I will ask a mod to move this thread back into the Android development section. I don't expect a big difference over there, but maybe we could use that as a chance to give this thread a little more development focus.

You all know I don't mind the occasional offtopic, but at least the main determinator should be the development of this ROM, don't you think?

As an example I'd say we discussed the Nexus 5 at length here and should keep this related to the Optimus 2x and to CM from now on.

We all want to enjoy our stay here :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SamReciter:
All i understood from the first on - and this way it seemed handled over long times - it was only a protection against too persitant demands for specific features already asked before and all this things. And surely to keep that feature thing in balance to keep the thread open for feedback to the ROM and announcements.

But sadly this thread seems to degenerate to aggressively and extensively bomb down any ideas thrown into the round without bringing any information to the thread - only displeasure.

And i can't imagine that was the plan.

As long as inquiries aren't persitend and stubbornly repeated - just take it easy and don't make it worse...

Also it isn't any longer TonyP's daily driver and so i think the discussion about features may a little opener again ?

Don't want to force it - that's up to TonyP - but surely not up to you aggressive brawlers..

Greats....

Silly question - is searching for wifi networks working on build 22 for you? I have no problem connecting to my saved networks but I'm unable to see other networks :/ just asking if anybody else got this bug, if not, i should do a full wipe etc.

It is working find for me on Build 22. Did you wipe dalvik/cache as recommended by tonyp?

Beauty, thanks for interjecting plus all the P990 info! My apologies to you for nominating myself as one of your attack dogs in this thread. I'd really appreciate a move of the thread to dev. At that point I can't see how you could make it any more crystal clear.

[LG Optimus 2x] DeeKay773:
Yes of course before and after flash to be sure about it... I'll reinstall it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Regarding feature requests: I've stated a couple times that I consider this ROM almost feature complete.

If there's a great idea feel free to share it - but it's unlikely that I will include it.

I don't want to overfill this ROM with more and more options and features.

It's designed to be a light ROM with some major additions to AOSP / CM (like Hybrid, Halo etc.) and a couple small additions here and there.

I only include decently implemented stuff that won't bloat this ROM.

As I don't use the P990 as a daily driver anymore I'm a bit more open than before regarding it's direction.

But I'll only go for something that I feel the majority would prefer (like -Os buildflags).

The majority would have to actually use it - I won't include nieche features which are only interesting for a handful of people.

But in the end I decide what's in TheROM and what is not - this still remains the ROM I personally build for my own use with carefully handpicked features - and I won't include anything I'm not 100% convinced of.

If you want a ROM with loads and loads of features I'd suggest you check out PAC-man or Slimrom.

I don't care which ROM someone uses and won't be offended at all if it's not one of my ROMs.

You got a great choice of different ROMs out there, you have to consider the pros and cons of each of them and then choose the one which mostly satisfies you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fíghter02:
I agree with you [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] that focus should be on the development of this rom. Moving the thread back to the development section seems like a good idea.

I'm also curious to hear what you would like to work on with this rom now that you are not using it as your daily driver?

Edit: just noticed your latest message, which basically answers my question.

It seems to me that it looks bad as CM10.2 M1 didn't fix the non working data traffic logging (at least on P990). I couldn't believe it as so many other smartphones other than P990 under CM10.2 must suffer from this issue too!?

Can any one confirm/negate that the data traffic counter doen't work on other phones than our P990? One of the symptoms is that the indicating arrows on the mobile data level indicator in the status bar don't show up. Another one is that Avast shows the error message (see stingrey123's report above). Finally that e.g. 3gwatchdog app doesn't count a single transferred byte.

Okay, to that no wifi networks, only saved one, did a full wipe and reinstalled 22 and it's working now :) but ive tried to restore from twrp backup and 90% of apps didn't come back :/

Torch in the quick settings panel.

And go to the last app on HW keys.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ryukenden:
I really have to praise this ROM. Build 22 is the smoothest ROM we had on our O2X. Everything is silk smooth, no hickups.

As [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] already mentioned, this ROM is almost feature complete and i also like it this way. No need to clutter the ROM with even more features. It should be as light as possible because u know how little RAM we have in this phone.

Keep up the good work [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION]. Make sure to give us any new info u get from [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] about 3.x kernel and how much would O2X benefit from it.

TheROM is really smooth, I just love this rom. The only problem here is maybe battery draining. Good work!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Unfortunately he isn't really close to KitKat, yet.

Compiling, kernel initialiation and mounting works, but there will be quite some incompatible features that need fixing..

This is a first step, but there's still quite some work ahead I'm afraid.

Sure, you can post a log.

But only if you can reproduce the problem after a full wipe of course.

I've written in the OP:

"But you have to a) do a full wipe and confirm the bug is still there, b) describe your bug in detail, c) post a logcat."

Works for me like a charm. Full wipe and logcat it is.

Hmm battery draining - did you enable the wifi power management in the Kowalski Manager?

It's kinda sad, but for me the battery is on par with the Nexus 5. Sure it's a smaller screen and way lower resolution, but I still expected a bit more from Googles flagship device.

Oh and of course you need 3-5 battery cycles before being able to evaluate the battery life, especially considering the change of buildflags.
[LG Optimus 2x] DJNoXD:
Thats absolutly true.

google has changed a lot of code again.

I think it will be possible to get it working, because it boots up.

But I don't know how long it takes and than there's the question how long it takes to get all features working.
[LG Optimus 2x] calatemaze:
Ok the option toggle to last app's there, I didn't see it properly. Sorry for that.

But on tiles there's no option for the torch...

I did a full wipe before flashing build22. How do I do a logcat about that? There's no error or something, it's just not there.

Greetings people!

I flashed build #22 on top of #21 and everything worked normal. Today, I decided to do a full wipe and flashed build #22 again. Everything's great but now I don't have the option to use Torch in the lock screen button actions :confused: Am I the only one? Am I missing something? BTW, greatest rom ever! Thank you [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION]!
[LG Optimus 2x] DeeKay773:
[MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] well, it first time happened after upgrade from exp-opt to #22 (did a dalvik cache and cache wipe).

After that I have tried to downgrade to Exp-opt, but it went really buggy (FC com.phone, SMS and MMS App, then bootloops)[Is it really that buggy when downgrading to previous version?].

So i did full wipe and installed exp-opt, then installed just some play store apps, and after all that i upgraded to #22. In the evening, everything worked fine, all wifi were shown. Next morning I came to school and it said free wifi available but in settings Searching for wifi... only (and my home wifi saved).

I really needed my phone for use so i did full wipe and installed exp-opt again (for usage as Phone).

At the weekend I'll try to upgrade to #22 again and get some logs if this will happen again.

/yes i know i'm really stupid I haven't tried to do a full wipe and then install pure #22/

Thanks for your time :)

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I've looked into the Torch issue as there were a couple reports.

First of all let me tell you: It's terribly annoying to read one-liner bug reports!

Can't you describe in detail what's your problems? What steps you need to do to to recreate your problem?

"Torch not working" is really NOT helpful, and you're in luck that 3 different people reported it or I would just have ignored it like most other reports of that kind.

I don't have any problems, maybe because I didn't do a full wipe for #22 (but for #21).

I have the torch in the Quicksettings and can add widgets to both the lock- and the homescreen.

But I found out that the torch overlay has changed at CM.

I've committed the update here - this will hopefully fix the issues for those of you who have had them.

I'm going to wait for the M2 source drop before rebuilding, though - that should be ready soon.

you have to unlock your phone (lockscreen), to be able to access files on the computer.

Edit: Oups, I had that post sitting half-finished in Tapatalk for a while, guess I missed the party.

But I've requested the mods to restore the post by [MENTION=5458952]breeno.net[/MENTION] - I've been meaning to answer to that once I'm home (which is now), unfortunately it's gone (and I don't see why exactly).

I am curious about the exact effects myself, I'd love to provide the best GPS support possibly - and for that one needs to understand what he's doing rather than blindly stuffing different files into each other

This is one of the reasons why I hate these "tweak collections" at xda where people throw in each and every build.prop fix, call it "super smooth insane battery ueber awesome power mod".

Yes, 1-2 of the 300 lines in there might indeed be useful - but this is a development forum and should be about identifying which changes do have an effect - and not praising placebos.

I'm not saying this "gps fix" is bad - indeed it seems to receive positive feedback, but I want to have the best possible implementation for my ROMs rather than acting prematurely.

You can't be serious? There's someone posting a long and detailed development related research and you're insulting him?

Why don't you get yourself an iPhone and let the people who care about development post in the development section?

As far as I see he wasn't attacking your finding, he was just trying to investigate what exactly it's doing.

Same thing applies to you.

Your efforts are appreciated, but just because someone is raising some questions there's no need to attack him.

And I'm sorry I don't quite understand why you need the gps-update bin as well? So the init.d script doesn't work on it's own? Why is that included then?

It looks like there's still some space for improvement (at least setting the permissions in the updater-script rather than manually), so why don't we work all together to create the best experience rather than jumping at each other?

I tend to disagree to the "have to" part. The conf file usually even works with US servers.

You don't actually know what these entries mean, do you? Changing the server might give you a couple seconds, but that should be about it.

That Gordons script does indeed use a world-wide setup proofs my point (he just can't afford a server in each timezone).

The improvements in there aren't related to the region, but to the other steps he took (refer to his thread for that).

That's why I've been recommending the TopNTP app for quite some time, it does download and apply exactly this gps.conf by Gordon.

Again, what is your problem with his post? Where did he lie? Sure he might have made a wrong assumption, but I highly doubt he did it in purpose. So hold back your temper, please.

And the post certainly hasn't been spam, please link me to any post that has been as development related as his in this thread (and wasn't made by me).

It seems to me like you're trying to protect "your work" here, although it should be our common interest to maximize the usefulness of this patch.

There is a difference between positive and negative critisism. Without any kind you can't improve your work.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
A great, the post has been restored.

Anyone who'd like to help in trying to improve GPS please join in with your research, everyone who doesn't have anything meaningful to add please stay out of it.

Okay then, let's get into it.

Thank you! Unfortunately my knowledge of the GPS implementation isn't great, either.

I don't completely understand how the GPS firmware is communicating with the Android framework at our device myself.

/system/etc/gps.conf should exist at your phone. Without it gps won't work at all.

The other files are just scripts to download the lto.dat into /data/gps/.

Indeed the gps-update file shouldn't be needed if the init.d script works properly in my opinion.

I only tested it myself by manually downloading the lto.dat file and pushing it to /data/gps, so I didn't experiment with the actual script, yet.

[MENTION=4920940]sgspluss[/MENTION] mentioned somewhat about it not working properly without, but that's definitely something open for improvement.

Could you elaborate on that please?

Yes, those two are completely independent.

In fact I've been recommending the TopNTP app myself a couple times in this thread which does download exactly the same gps.conf script.

As I wrote above unfortunately I'm not the expert - but I would indeed prefer to test those fixes independently or we won't know which change is actually the one helping the improved GPS fix ...

These are needed for the flashable zip to work.

But the updater-script should get extended to chown the files correctly.

Unfortunately I don't know what the lto.dat file is used for.

At first I thought it isn't used at our GPS chip at all (as no ROM for the 2x I've known ever shipped that file) and thought some people are just blindly applying patches for other phones and firmwares (most GPS implementations differ substantially from each other).

But then I found a reference to the lto.dat file inside the /system/etc/gps_brcm_conf.xml file. Line 16: (...) ltoFileName="lto.dat"

At CM this gps_brcm_conf.xml file differs quite a bit from LGs Stock ICS ROM.

arcee did some changes to it here.

The original ICS file from LG can be found here

He's [MENTION=700051]crypted[/MENTION] from xda here.

Sure, if he would shut down his servers this would be a problem. But his work got quite some credit so far, so I wouldn't worry about that.

But I've been using his gps.conf file back in my CM10.1 and PA ROMs, and pengus uses it in his CM10 one as well.

I reverted to the default gps.conf file in CM10.2 as I didn't notice the huge differences it brought at CM10.1 anymore.

But as I wrote above my first tip for people who have GPS problems has always been the TopNTP app and his configuration files.

See above. And yes I think this isn't needed as well.
