Or if you simply want the official CM10 boot animation, download and use the attached file (I pulled it from TheROM build 17). Keep in mind that before you follow 60nine's instructions, you will need to mount /system rw (default is ro).

Root cause analysis required on BT silent calls issue

Tonyp, thanks for all your continued work! I like that you also maintain the P990 clean CM10.2 ROM!

I haven't found out that someone else posted this before: I always hear a very low volume click in my Sony BT ear set when the silent BT call starts, a very low volume noise during the call, and another very low volume click when I hang up. This lets me speculate that everything with the call is fine. The first click and the noise I hear indicate to me that the audio transmission has started and the BT earset does exactly what it shall: it is converting a digital stream of zeros into matching movement of the earsets speaker membrane.

I guess that somewhere in the digital signal processing stream chain the digital volume gain is set to zero. This should be likely also true for the other direction; my call partner cannot hear me too.

If this is all true the hard thing is to find where exactly in the digital signal chain the digital volume gain is set to zero (muted). I guess there will be many stages where it can happen. E.g. at the end of the "hearing" stream it could be that the P990 transfers the correct non-zero digital data stream to my BT earset but that, for whatever reasons, some software instance prior told my BT earset to set the volume to zero.

As I am only an (experienced) C# software engineer in test&measurement industry I don't have any deep insight to Linux, Android, CM, LG P990 BLOB, P990 HW, BT details. But it is obvious to me that (as always) one can only fix the silent BT call issue by finding and fixing the root cause. Does any dev here in the community have the skills and the software tools to trace the digital data streams preferably from the end (BT stream from the P990 to the BT headset) to the beginning?

When not finding the root cause we (tonyp, pengus77, etc.) can only (endlessly?) blindly try SW module updates or replacements as this goes now for more than a year (correct me if I am wrong).

Build 22 run flawlessly now, had to format data, prob some corruption somehow, phone back to cool :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
Please let me add an idea how to narrow the net to catch the slippery eel: As hearing audio streams when played from Apollo seems to be working, we have an analogon of an analog stereo audio power amplifier with a defect let's say on the left channel (silent BT call). The right amplifier channel works fine (Apollo PB over BT works). We don't have a circuit diagram (no deep knowlegde of Android audio BT data stream chains). But we probably have a digital multimeter (DMM; some software tools) to measure analog AC voltages (spy/monitor/dump digital audio data streams) on certain transitors/amplifier ICs (on certain audio data stream interfaces).

As the left amplifier circuit is identical to the right one one simply can compare the AC signals on identical points left/right (where is the digital data stream set to zero?). Using this low system knowledge but intelligent analysis method I was able to repair at least 5 power amps of my friends in the past 30 years. And I never had a circuit diagram.

What do the devs think about this root cause searching suggestion?

just noticed that the statusbar clock is showing the wrong time while the widget one is correct (using zooper widget)...

it didn't happen on v21/v20...

any clues?
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
standard, no bug. it happens sometimes, wait and it will fix itself, do a reboot too and a cycle charge, time heals almost everything :D

edit: btw tonyp, if you dont mind... do you... seriously... think this ROM will get big changes in the future? dont get me wrong, it feels like its 100% done. reason i ask is... well, will the future builds not "just" be: update to CM sources and thats all? it just seems like there is nothing big that can be planned anymore you know.. because the 4.4 hardware stuff will probably make 4.4 unstable on this phone so without 4.4, do you think your 4.3 ROM will have big changes in future after all you have completed? im just curious because if no, then why keep checking xda

hope it makes sense, thanks

After testing

I have been using build 21 for a week and build 22 for a whole day, so i would like to share my experience with this ROM.

I will start with our beloved bluetooth... it is absolutely awesome. File transfer speed is 160-210 kpbs, which is great! Pairing and connection devices works as it shoud be working. Only thing i am still missing is an option "always accept files" for certain device, but it is ok. Couldn't test the speed-up bug as I don't use BT headset.

Battey life is good, even with Wi-Fi on and RAM management is also great, everything runs smoothly (smoother then build 21) but still can't run facebook, skype and viber at once, as they eat too much memory (or at least when i switch between them, they always start again), interesting is, that HALO partially fixed this, as I can run one app open and these two others in HALO mod, without killing any of them.

Now to the connectivity and GPS... this was my first disappointment. I did not do any "lab tests" with apps measuring GPS fix time, but I have been travelling around, using Sygic navigator. Tonyp's T-build 5 needed about 5 seconds to fix, this ROM needs about 30, sometimes a lot more. So i thought about switching on mobile network positioning... that was second hard disappointment as it gave me "accurate" position 5 kilometers (so about 3 miles) away from my real position (checked it more times, even with Avast!'s AntiTheft, which is absolutelly useless now, as it also gives me very "accurate" result, so if somebody has stolen my phone, i would at least know in which country he is, but thats it).

There are two more things, that annoy me... first is, when i connect USB to the phone, with screen off, it freezes and i have to pull out battery and restart it. The second, which is even more annoying, is that the ROM lacks something to log data traffic, calls and SMS, so, for example, Avast! reports an error, that my phone does not support Statistics gathering or something similar. Other apps do not spam errors, they just don't work, so after exhausting my whole FUP, all apps were still convinced, that i have never been connected to internet and happily smiled at me as everything is ok.

Overall, it is a great ROM as all of Tonyp's ROMs are, everything works great except these few things. It is stable and fast and absolutely safe for daily use. I can only recommend it.

for the record:

I have made full wipe - flashed new BootLoader with AIO-tool - and then installed build 21, then again wiped and installed build 22, both with the same result except for better smoothness with build 22

Location: Czech Republic (and no, it is not near Russia, for those who don't know!)

PS.: sorry for such an exhausting text ;)

Guys searched the whole thread but I couldn't find what the exp-opt build differs from the other builds. Also I tested the camera in 21build and the photos are pure white and nothing more. Anyone who could help me out? Thanks! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
Don't Waste Time Posting Known Issues

Known issue.

Known issue. Workaround involves turning on "2nd core auto hot plug" in the Kowaski Manager. I suspect that tonyp can't compile TheROM with this setting enabled, otherwise I expect that he would.

I noticed this on ext-opt, too, and again with build 22. Not sure if this is a known issue.

Go back and reread the OP. tonyp says that known bugs in CM apply here. Also points to his CM10.1 and CM10.2 posts, which contain lists of the known bugs. If it's on those lists then there is no point reporting it here. You will get ignored at best, possibly chastised, and blocked at worst.

You obviously never read the changelog:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45968087&postcount=5

Look under the description for Build 20. exp-opt is built from the same source as Build 20, but using recommended compile options for ARM which tonyp only recently discovered. The latest exp build, Build 22, also uses said compile options for ARM.

As for the camera, I don't use mine. There has been lots of talk in this thread. I suggest you use the "Search this thread" function.

I have never said, that any of these bugs is new, i have just gave my experiece with using this ROM and that what i have written is a summary of everything that interests me and what i am searching for when reading about new ROMs. If anyone wants to "fishslap" me for that post, go ahead.

On the other hand, thanks for the info about 2nd core hotplug didn't know about that. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] DeeKay773:
I'm really thinking about some counter for question about black screen when plugging in and the 2nd core hotplug. If tonyp would get euro for each question about it, he would probably become second bill gates or what.

CM11: Don't Hold Your Breath

The Galaxy S2 is not like a brother to the P990. The Galaxy R is closer. The Tegra 2 is the common denominator between the two phones.

Tegra 2 is also the reason that we are likely to never see CM11 on the phone. NVIDIA is garbage when it comes to open source. Everything they release on Linux is a binary blob. This means there is no source for developers to work with. CM10.2 is kludged to get it working on our phone, and Kitkat is simply too great a departure from ICS to reasonably expect CM11 to ever run on the P990. I mean, the CM team abandoned the phone after CM10.1 for good reason. A team of people would have to bust their humps day and night to get CM11 working on the P990.

Hate to break it to you, but you might as well forget about stable CM11 support otherwise you'll be holding your breath for a long time. Don't make the mistake of buying NVIDIA-based hardware again unless you don't mind abandoning your phone after they abandon the chip. I'll ride out tonyp's TheROM for as long as I can stand this aging phone, and when I upgrade it won't be a phone with NVIDIA technology. Maybe the Nexus 5 since I appreciate tonyp's work and would like to follow it in the future. :good:

All this is said with nothing but respect for tonyp and everyone else that has worked on P990 ROMs. From what I've seen, he'd be the first to admit that this is the reality of the situation. :crying:

-Breeno
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
i can understand, thats why i also asked if his cm10.2 rom has big future plans.. because you know people donated and in tonyp words, his phone is community owned for develop purposes. but if there is no CM11 for this phone and this CM10.2 rom is i think like at least 95% complete, then we cant really expect anything, can we?
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
Consider it a reminder of what tonyp said in the second post of this thread.

Basically, he wants to avoid wasting time on posts about known bugs. If the bug is unknown, or if a known bug is no longer buggy, then that is the appropriate time to report. If you have actual knowledge about how to fix the bug, even better, post away! Otherwise, don't bother.

I don't want to fishslap you. I want you use your time optimally so that tonyp can also use his time optimally. This also means that everybody else's time is used optimally because we don't need to wade through a thread full of redundant bug reporting. Don't take it personally, take it constructively.

[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
tonyp is not community-owned for development purposes. His phone can sit on a shelf as community-owned property and gather dust until the end of time. The fact that some of us donated does not give us the ability to demand a monopoly on tonyp's development time. That's how gifts work: they are given freely and as a show of appreciation, respect, and warmth. And damn, do I appreciate the fact that he has developed on CM10.2 for my phone. Otherwise I'd probably be on stock ICS.

For my donation I'll be glad to see him ride out CM10.2 to final release.

If

he has plans for greater things, I'm sure he'll let us know when those things are done. If he does then he's a saint.

Let's be realistic, okay? Much less likely to make tonyp feel like we are nothing but a bunch of freeloaders (and really, for the most part we are freeloaders, but we can be gracious about it instead of placing a bunch of unrealistic expectations on him. ;)

Best way to keep tonyp going? Report new bugs or fixes that surface on new builds, give answers to any other questions he has, and respect his time. And keep the noise down to a minimum so he's not wasting his time reading forum posts that have nothing to do with developing TheROM.

Best way to make sure tonyp spends most of his time developing elsewhere? Compare his work to other ROMs, bug him about features that would be cool in TheROM, and ask about old bugs that everybody knows about. Oh, and imply that donations obligate him to do work on the P990. I'm sure he loves that one.

All I'm trying to get across is this: where open source is concerned, people need to think about things from the developer's perspective in relation to the reality of the situation. Keep them happy and they make great stuff. Waste their time and they move on to something else. And eventually, they have to move on to new things. New hardware comes in and old hardware breaks down. That's the way of things.

Yep, your link says it all:

There's a lot of wishful thinking on this thread. Nothing wrong with that by itself, but it walks the line of feature requesting, something tonyp has specifically disallowed. There's a whole forum for people to dream about what might be. It would be better to make those wishes somewhere else.

hi guys, i am using build 20, i did cleaned the phone completely before applying - repartitioned ver aio toolkit etc.... for some reason after some time ( not regular and not at the same time ) i am not able to wake up the phone. screen is dark, no backlight under buttons... so i need to remove battery and boot , i noticed the battery consumption is massive during this "lock up" ...

I did not played with kernel or OC, my steps were repartitioning my LG with ics layout new bootloader, cwm 6 and applying this ROM...

Its excellent work i have to say, but these lock ups seems to me pretty dangerous especially during working days , as i do not want to wake up late to work :D

Hi,

few notices/questions:

1) is it possible to completely disable Halo?

2) Settings navigation is very messy, sometimes clicking back button does nothing, sometimes it goes back to correct previous location, sometimes it exists settings completely. Other times, when back does nothing, you have to click on top left, but that again, sometime goes to previous settings level, sometimes goes to a completely different place (like TheROM settings). Why is that?

3) I have an impression that the display isn't very "sharp", could this be something to do with the dpi settings? I haven't touched them at all yet..

edit: i just can't get the app layout as it used to be :( what is the "default"/factory dpi for p990? my wife uses a womens calendar called My Days, and it's layout is completely messed up :(

edit 2: also, there is an issue selecting wallpaper - I have set to have 3 home screens, however, when choosing wallpaper it still forces size enough for 5 homes, and thus, the wallpaper area becomes too small..

edit 3: attached layout issues
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
I do wonder what the 'test' build that got upladeded on tonyp's hopto yesterday is about.

Anyway, if you would just read, you'll see that Tonyp is thinking of putting some work in an OmniROM all depending on the kernel.

Now, I do find it hard to understand what all the fuzz on 4.4 is about. You should realize, for us P990-users, a 4.4 ROM would just mean that we see 4.4 in About Phone rather than 4.3. That's pretty much it for us, mainly because of our phone's hardware.

If you want 4.4, just install the 4.4 Google apps and you're good to go. There is nothing more to it, at least not for us.

Really, this ROM functions perfectly fine in every angle. So for once just quit the 'I want the newest sh*t'-attitude already! Enjoy what you have because in reality, it is more than enough!
[LG Optimus 2x] thorstenhirsch:
I don't agree. Google made some significant changes in 4.4 so that it runs smoother on devices with low memory - and our P990 is exactly one of these. So the upgrade to 4.4 will have more impact than all the minor upgrades within the JellyBeans versions (4.1, 4.2, 4.3).
[LG Optimus 2x] mafosh:
Cheers, des indeed, i can confirm. Die i missed something obvious Abt this? Is it known? Apologize if does, in this časei missed it somewhere
[LG Optimus 2x] Daxwax:
Turn on "2nd core auto hot plug" in kowalski manager. It has been mentioned before as you suspected.

Ahh, considered going nexus5. But to be honest.. this phone with theROM is smoother than ever and battery life is great for it's age.

Probably would've gone for nexus if it wasn't for the small battery size though.

Thanks for the great ROM, tonyp! I can wait for the perfect phone with this =)
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
ok lets try to keep this thread about theROM ok?

i have few ideas. tell what you think.

1. add date on status bar and maybe also give color like this (yes all know is possible, this with paint):

2. option to disable this drawer, is much better with only the other drawer with quick ribbons, music widget and so on ( i know is possible, option in settings to disable it so who wants to can disable and only use the other drawer which is much better i think):
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
only thing that bothers me in the status bar is that the icons don't auto resize (basic switches, not quick settings panel)

i use 5 icons, and the far-right one always goes out of the screen a bit

i can live with that though, but just saying what might be better (of course, if possible)
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
I have no idea what you are talking about. You might want to make yourself more plain, as this seems like some veiled threat. Let me diffuse that.

Everyone, my name is Breen Ouellette. I am a law student in Canada, and formerly I had a career in IT for 15 years. My last position was as the Director of IT for a non-profit corporation where I managed a number of employees and contractors under my department, which managed internal and external assets as well as several programming projects. I was forced to change careers due to significant repetitive strain injuries in both my arms related to my IT work, which is why I left the workforce to study law. My username, breeno.net, is a domain that I control which redirects to my Google+ page, where all of this may be verified.

I have also been a long time user and supporter of open source software. My favourite project is OpenBSD, to which I have regularly contributed donations over the last decade (I'd estimate somewhere around $1,000 in total). I am also one of the moderators of the OpenBSD Google+ community. I support open source developers and the choices they make because they put in the time and effort to make this stuff. Users that believe they are self-entitled to demand how the software is developed rate very, very low in my books. If you don't like the way a project is managed, or you want some new feature, then "shut up and code".

[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
All these possible feature requests over the past few pages,

and talk of 4.4 being magically better for some reason.

Two points to note.

1. The Thread states, Take It Or Leave It. If tony likes anything he'll change it. otherwise he wont be bothered with features

(granted that may have changed now that his daily is the Nexus) - but he's not changed the Thread title, so i'll still go with he's not going to waste time on features that seem useless, or time consuming.

anyway.

2. The google press release about 4.4 said it was able to function on low memory devices, devices as low as 512mb, ... combined our phone may hold that. but usable memory is still 374, lower than googles reference. so i wouldn't hold my breath on 4.4 being some magically superior rom over 4.3.

Hopefully Pengus gets 3.1 to boot, thats the real challenge here now. Tony said he wont try 4.4 without the new kernel, AFAIK,

so all we can expect is slight bug fixes, upstream updates, and any possible awesome features that tony has not found yet.

Anyway (again lol) this post is just for the giggles. and to remind those coming on after awhile not on xda.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
necrowakker, an idea is not same as complaint. take it or leave it - means ideas are not welcome either???? leave it is like if you dont like it then leave it. does not say: take it and shut up! either you or me understand wrong. but if no ideas can come, then loooooool just close the thread??
[LG Optimus 2x] breeno.net:
Seriously, I think you haven't read the first post by tonyp. Look:

In fact, you don't even seem to have fully read the thread title, which includes the phrase "take it or leave it".

Just to be clear, "take it or leave it" means that tonyp isn't interested in your feature requests, as he further states in the original post I've quoted above.

How much more clear does it need to be??? He's the boss, he makes TheROM to meet his own needs and nothing more, but he has been gracious enough to share it with the rest of us. All he asks in return is that you follow the simple rules he laid out in his first post. It's really very simple.

-Breeno​
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
at the beginning of the thread, Tony said that this was his rom, personal use, he was not going to change it for anyone. its why the take it of leave it title was made. he did also state if a feature was good enough he would look into it, and see, ( like the active lock screen feature)

bringing new features to tony's attention is perfectly fine, but asking to change existing features was off the menu when the thread was created.

as it is, the Rom is just about perfect. Without some major bug fix in the future very little is going to change.
