Hi,

First of all, thanks to the developer for such a great work.

I m testing this rom since morning and found following bugs out of which first three annoying...

1. The animations, touch response are laggy. Someimes the phone freezes badly.

2. The keyboard is very slow.

3. There is less system space as well as less phone storage And it get full after installing few apps.

4. Gallery fc always

5. Google search box fc always

6. Whisper push gives fc

7. Bluetooth and wifi tethering not working.

8. Exchange gives fc

9. Video player is laggy

10. Battery drain is huge.

Many many thanls for your efforts
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jaibar:
Keyboard opens in less than a blink. Haven't checked how long, I estimate 300-400msec, and the typing is actually limited by the small size of buttons (which in turn is limited by small screen size)

Are you sure you've installed link2sd- and what is the partition size that you've allocated on SD card? Or maybe you need to define what you consider a "few apps". Check link2sd that you have not filled your phone capacity. If /system is full, link2sd won't work, so you must delete some space (remove ringtones, any system app you don't need or that you can install from market such as calendar, gmail etc).

Then, use link2sd to clear dalvik & caches, see if it opens up some more space.

I have about 100 apps installed, you can see in attached photo system partition has some 6.7MB free (enough to use link2sd) but still have enough space in /data and /sdext2 for almost doubling my app count.

works fine here always (see photo below)- I tried anything from it, opening photos, sharing to dropbox etc everything works like a charm.

works fine here always, except the voice which always has been somewhat lame anyway. If you want google now to work with GEL Launcher, then the instructions in OP are not clear enough- you'll have to install according to OP, but GEL will give you some "placeholder" error message, and it won't work before you open google search, type the "Yes, I'm in" button, log in to your google account. Only then, you'll be able to choose GEL and it will work with Gnow, you'll have cards enabled etc. See the attached pics.

Wifi and 3G cause big drain in many roms- at least since cm10.1. You can either manually disable them when not in use, or install apps that to that for you- it can help a lot. You can see attached photo- 30% after about 24 hours, pretty good in my opinion. To be honest ,it of course includes overnight in which I of course don't use the phone, and I am not a heavy user- just occasional phone calls, a few sms and some wifi broswing, but if I compare with my own small usage in the past- I have never such a lasting battery. I usually had to charge overnight or else left with no juice in the morning. It was a surprise to wake up with still 30% to go. To me, this means the phone goes well to deep sleep. I am also using Greenify to keep some apps at bay (as opposed to DS battery bla bla, I use greenify in all my devices)

Oh, and use a fast sd card, because when you link apps to a slow card one cannot complain about slow response. That, or change device to some modern multi-core cpu and tons of ram :D

Don't forget it is an old lg optimus p500- it is a miracle that it actually keeps pace with latest android versions.

Also, try overclocking to maybe 729 or 748MHz, and config also low ram true in build.prop and make sure you've installed according to OP...

Baseband

hi m8

thx for your replay

i find something and download LGMDP-v1.5 for flash baseband

my mobile connected to pc via usb cable

LG driver installed

not any lg modem in device manager for disable

but software not find any mobile device

i must flash baseband in which mod ? (recovery,emergency, ....)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
Before attempting to flash baseband, have you looked to see if your APN is selected (settings > wireless networks >more >Access Point Names)? If not, you may not even have to flash baseband. You may have to write in your carrier's apn if it isn't listed. If that doesn't work, there is also a simple fix for baseband. There is a flashable zip that contains two lib files that will enable an old baseband phone to use a new baseband ROM. Search for "use new baseband ROM zip ". LGMDP is a more permanent fix, but LG drivers can be a real pain.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ibub:
I just happen to have the baseband zip stored in my mediafire account.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1yedb2z86rpya/bbpatch

There are two zips in the folder. One zip reverses the other.

[emoji6]
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] josehbermudez:
Hi Ibub! Hope you're healthy and well.

Darkpriest reports loosing network not just data and I asume WiFi. That's why I suggested flashing radio files(baseband). Normally when it happens you loose imei, WiFi mac address, etc. It can be verified con about phone

As I remember here in xda it was posted a recovery flashable zip file.

Peace[emoji106]

Hey brother, [emoji6]

I successfully used LGMDP twice, but it was years ago. So I really don't remember how I got the LG drivers to work, or what mode I used. So I tried to offer the safer fix. There's also the possibility that he ran out of space on /system partition while flashing the ROM. Maybe a reflash selecting less options in aroma installer. Just a guess...

Updated ROM [Version-4]

New ROM version - 4 : http://www.mediafire.com/download/xa249cvcy8n0az9/cm-11-P500-Ver4.zip

How to update, Please follow the instructions on Page#1, Post#1 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48922393&postcount=1... Enjoy and write your experience here

:highfive:

EDIT: I realised that Ver4 is occupying 189mb out of 190mb of system space. Please find this updated version4 without Messaging app (rest all remains): http://www.mediafire.com/download/obeb8zn3g5hpnn3/cm-11-p500-ver4updated.zip. Those who already upgraded, they can remove Messaging app through Link2sd (if want) :)

You mean that bt transfering (download/upload) works? Also A2PD?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] miki.cis:
I'm still using version 2 (31 dec), is it possible to upgrade by following these steps?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Note: In CWM 6.0.4.6...wiping dalvik cache removes link2sd's as well.

The dexes will get recreated on main dalvik-cache, internal storage. If they fill available data space, well ... (Link2sd's Achilles heel)

Also, I have found the cm-11 backups do not restore correctly, leading to the above problem on rebooting restored system! Cm-10.2 backups are OK.

If one has loads of linked apps, one must either remove enough of them first, then restore after upgrading or ...

Flash the new ROM over the whole business. After recreating Link2sd scripts and rebooting, one may need to manually relink (using a bash script) while the animation shows. And hope the dalvik process respects them. I keep scripts on /data/local/userinit.d but I think that selinux prevents them from running on init. Omni ROM simple zipped right through, however.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Yes, you can upgrade with the version 4 by using above method (it will take 15-20 minutes)

Sorry to interrupt... But wiping dalvik cache will not remove Link2SD. Actually This ROM has a bug which create duplicate dexes while rebooting which fills system storage DATA. In Upgrade method above, on the first boot Link2SD ask again to recreate the "mount script" (which is obvious) and after second boot, ROM created duplicate dexes into DATA and show "low storage space". For this we have to open Link2sd and "Clean Dalvik Cache" as I have mentioned above.

To make sure again and again, I just did this method before posting and its work. I am doing this method (more than 20 times) since Dec27 build and its working in all versions posted here. I hope you agree with this.:)

I request other guys (who are upgrading these versions by using above method), please write their experience.:angel:

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sumansur2008:
My Flashing Method of CM 11(Mukulsoni Versions)

I m doing almost this since d birth of ur first ROM! But i used to

1)wipe caches & dalvik caches prior to flashing the updates.

2) Flash ROM.

3) After booting "Mount Script Warning" notification has shown.

4) Open Link2sd and tap on "recreate mount script" and choose "ext 4 ".Do not reboot from there rather reboot from power menu.

5)Then i uninstall the launcher 3 4.4.2. and delete some media files(ringtones etc.) from root.

I am getting 7.15 MB free on system. Is it o.k.? Please comment!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cagnulein:
What about bluetooth tethering on ver 4?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Thanks... wiping caches and dalvik before or after ROM flash, are same process. But if follow the last process, you dont need to delete anything or any apps. Removing something from system, means increasing system space. try this and let me know. :good:

[MENTION=515295]Cagnulein[/MENTION] : read previous posts bro....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cagnulein:
Pairing on ver3 was fine to me this is why I ask now :) (transfering files is related to tethering?)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
No...tethering is different obviously ;) check and let know
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
No. It will remove the /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache !! Workaround: Restore sd-ext from the backup one just made before trying any of this. ALWAYS make the backup, even if the cm-11 cannot restore properly right now.

BIG difference between "low storage space" and ... NONE. Dead in the water. This is the Link2sd Achilles heel.

After the reboot, need to run a script to relink the dexes. Selinux, apparently, will not let me do this from /data/local/userinit.d, but I can do it manually in adb once the animation starts. At least, the Jan 3 ROM respects the symlinks. This bug (Jan 7 ROM?) is a catastrophe for me.

One meg free may mean no link2sd script. Your solution of "user-system-apps" was the way to go. Putting all this stuff progressively back onto system will create more and more problems.

??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
I installed the Jan 7 experimental. My way: manually ran my relinker script when animation started and had no problem. Had cleanup to do using link2sd but by no means out of space. This ROM has all the problems of its predecessors.

Xposed modules may not be the cause of the early homescreen before lockscreen as I had suspected. I believe the build.prop mod to get tranparent status bar is the culprit (maybe moreso after I add a few now-enabled lockscreen widgets). This would not explain why omni got into a startup loop with this -- no Xposed and no build.prop edit!

After all the buzz about Kitkat zRAM gerrits, the zRAM option no longer appears on memory management settings.

Swap is not auto-started as it had been in previous builds. I am trying to run my swapon script using tasker on boot, see if that works. Selinux probably blocks the init.d running of my scripts. Anyone know how to fix, set policies, etc.??

The "... upgrading ... starting apps ..." bug is still there, also leaves a lot of 0-length garbage on sd-ext. Cleanup using link2sd. Paint-in-the-butt!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] adilahmed:
data issues

does anyone face data issues on this rom ?

it happened after the update to ver3...the data doesnt stay long not for a minute even..i try toggling it..no better results

can someone help me out??????

i thought its a problem from the service provider but ..data worked fine on other devices

save this issue..the rom seems the best kitkat rom for daily use..

thank u :victory:

keep up the work dev
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
I have learnt from my experience that by cleaning up Dalvik Cache, it is not removing SD-EXT or linked dalvik cache infact if not clean dalvik cache, it may give boot loop after recreating mount script. Back up restore of SDEXT and all is working absolutely fine for me with CWM 6.4.0.6.

I should have be more clear that Low storage space means DATA partition storage not system partition. I always use EXT4 mount script and it never gives any problem but never tried EXT2.

I don't think its a ROM bug, you can try the latest version4, if problem still exist, try manual setup of APN. :good:

I request other guys to please write your experiences too.. its help lot :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jaibar:
My experience when updating from ver1 to ver3- I followed steps in OP to the letter- was that I faced link2sd's "Achilles heel":

Boot went fine, had enough free space in /system, but /data was showing *zero* free space, link2sd wouldn't work, so almost everything started fc all the time.

Eventually had to restore nand backup, uninstall some big sized apps, reinstall new ROM, recreate link2sd scripts, clean dalvik cache and freeing space. Then use TiB to restore the mentioned above apps.

So it was almost as doing full wipe and restoring apps with TiB, which is probably what I'll do with next update ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
As I have already mentioned in Upgrade method and previous page post, It will show "Zero" free space on second boot (after creating mount script), Please follow the complete method and specially last one to get rid of zero space.

Total process time of upgrading new version is 10-20 minutes and DONT NEED TO DELETE ANYTHING OR FULL WIPE. try this and let me know.

Edit: I recommend Wipe Data Cache and then Dalvik cache too... if you don't wipe dalvik, you may get android.media.com error which effects all notification sounds... This I have tested on ver4.

Hey Guys.... I need your help... if you have another phone running KitKat, please check Link2SD and see if it is creating duplicate dexes on reboot and occupy DATA space. IMHO it is a bug in our ROM. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Maybe you have not had that problem but for me, Link2sd's dalvik-cache (/data/sdext2/dalvik-cache) is indeed removed when I wipe dalvik.

Workaround 1: Easy. Simply restore sd-ext from the back up you just made.

Workaround 2: Harder but needed, say to flash omni since adb is not working (initially)

Before going to recovery, adb pull /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache dalvik-cache.

After the wipe, go to adb shell

mount system

mount data

path-to-saved-copy-of-link2sd-mount-script (yes, save a copy somewhere you can access, i.e. on data.)

exit

adb push dalvik-cache /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache

adb shell

umount /data/sdext2

umount /data

umount /system

exit

Now proceed normally.

You may still have the link2sd Achilles heel.

Can usually avoid this by a relinking script after link2sd creates script and reboot.

I just installed my own trimmed Jan 7 build (no interest in exchange et. al) this way.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jaibar:
OK, it worked like a charm ? thanks!

By the way, maybe it is better to build the ROM with low memory = true in build.prop as default? I think it works better in this device, well worth the price of not having transparent status bar....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Of course, if that wipe-dalvik took away link2sd's dalvik as well, then the not really duplicate dexes will be created.

Even if it did not hit link2sd's dalvik, the symlinks will be gone. So the duplicate dexes will be created because the upgrader has no knowledge of link2sd and its dexes! That is where is relinker script comes in.

This ROM was not hurt in any way to make such a "bug." I find the duplicate problem will always occur when restoring backups of cm-11 ROM systems. Where the bug actually lies, I cannot say. Just posting my results.

I will post my relinker, name changed to get it on here. As I posted, run it manually on the reboot after link2sd creates its scripts. Adb will be available once the animation starts. I have failed to get it to run automatically as an init.d script on /etc/init.d/ or /data/local/userinit.d/. (as 13relinker.sh or such) This would be the best, but either selinux or something else disallows it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] cozzz16:
Hi there,

It's the first time I've installed kitkat on my phone, I upgraded the cwm version to the latest, flashed v4 of your rom and then flashed gapps lightweight, all after cleaning absolutely everything(factory reset, cache, dalvik etc). Except for the small bugs which don't bother me so much the rom is great! smooth (considering this phone has an old 600 mhz cpu) and pretty fast.

I have a problem though, which no one here has posted it seems. I can't sync the phone with my google account. I enter my email and password, after that the Terms of service window appears, click ok and then, after it loads for a second, it gives me this message - "There was a problem communicating with google servers. Please try again." I only have a Next button which, if I press, it shows the same error message and button. I am using wifi which works (tested on browser) and I also tried on 3G, same thing. It's really annoying as I have my phonebook synced on that account. Do you know what the problem might be?

Thanks

Low memory=true really affect the ROM? I didn't notice any speed concern. Anyway I will make it true in next update but you will get transparent statusbar too.. :) As I remember, I had made this in ver2.

Hi mukulsoni

How to make the transparent statusbar ?? Replace fine in the ROM ??

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] xu3sno:
Edit build.prop find line ro.config.low_ram=true replace value with false.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jaibar:
I never was able to tell if there is real differences between various parameters such as governor, scheduler, zram, ksm, memory task killers, and whatever kernel, cpu and memory tweaks that people swear that improve performance.

The only thing that I am positively sure that really helps speed up is clocking to higher frequency- on the cost of battery consumption and sometimes also stability...

So, not sure about low ram config whether it helps in speed and/or stability. I may very well be facing placebo effects after all. So, it is not a must to change in ROM release if people prefer it "false" as default. it takes less than a minute to edit build.prop and change it offline.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] MagusWRM:
If you take in account each config separately it would make no perceptive improvement at all, but then take they all and you will notice it in a day by day use.

This ROM is working nicely at my phone, did have some problems with link2sd but now it's working fine.

I do recommend to disable all animations effects in the developer options ;)

One last thing; how do I enable brightness control at notifications bar?

Hey i have been reading each and every post in this thread.I guess you forgot that i was the one who asked you the method for updating to next version. :cowboy:

And i have done each and everything successfully and been using it. :good: :victory:

But this problem i got just today when i restarted due to heavy lag.

And Do you know why it starts lagging sooo much ? Normally its fine.But at times it becomes very very laggy and it stays that way for many hours.In every version i used to face this lag time to time.And i have checked that its not while syncing. :crying:

And "Relink all Dalvik Cache" ? There isnt any option like that.Do you mean Relink all Apps?

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

BTW, Kitkat has a feature that you can change profiles on lock screen. It isnt there in CM11(this ROM) Why? :confused:

And many other kitkat features isnt there too.

And Is this rom a themed version from CM11?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Yes you are a genius bro.... ;) but what kinda problem you are facing? Is it showing "Low memory" error after reboot? If so, then open link2sd and click "Link dalvik-cache files" (relink is same) and then "clean up the dalvik-cache" (remembering word to word is difficult). If your problem still not solve, try reinstall rom.

You must aware that this device have only 190mb of each System and Data size and it is difficult to give all features in this... "BACCHE KI JAAN LEGA KYA DOST.....";)
