[LG Optimus Black] METEMEDO:
This seems to be the only actively developed ROM for the P970, so I may install this.

One question though, since the phone is my wife's, I need something really as stable as stock, because it's her daily driver.

This is not at that point of stability, is it? Because stock is really good for now, just a bit sluggish and I wanted to make it a bit faster (not really because of the features).
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
It works pretty like ICS-stock. For now, if you need stable firmware, use last 4.4.2 nightly. Unfourtunately, Camera not works in 4.4.3 for now and some bugs exist.
[LG Optimus Black] METEMEDO:
Is that 4.4.2 nightly really stable (you know, being "nighly" and not "stable") like stock? No force closes nor instabilities and, very important, faster than stock?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Faster than stock, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 is stable enought for everyday use.
[LG Optimus Black] METEMEDO:
But what do you mean by "enough"?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
just back up the current system and try it out.

the time you spent asking for "how it is, how stable it is, how fast it is" etc is multiple times the time it would take you to try it yourself ;)

wifi hotspot doesnt work, camera needs to be fixed for 4.4.3, thats the biggest problems, else just read what other users wrote before.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
In 4.4.3 sometimes crashes and automatically restarts SystemUI, in 4.4.2 sometimes you can spot some other troubles. But it works great enough for everyday usage. I mean that here is no crashes every minute, no data loss or something like this. It can't be named fully stable, but it is stable enough for almost everyone.
[LG Optimus Black] METEMEDO:
The problem is, I don't have much time to play with it and my wife needs the phone everyday. Also, it's full stock, not even rooted nor the boot loader is unlocked. So I can't really spend too much time testing the thing. Maybe I should just buy her a new phone.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
I think you are right, just buy new phone. NamelessROM is too geeked in some places.
[LG Optimus Black] METEMEDO:
Alright, OK then. I might buy her a new phone since it's her birthday very soon.

Thank you all.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Zeus 6.4 or Marvel 9 are good, solid ROMs.

They're Gingerbread, but they "just work". Both are full-functioning.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
better dont check the changelog for tomorrow or your phone will explode, dont tell me i havent warned you :P

updated the kernel today from 3.0.8 to 3.0.101 so you will get A LOT of commits in the changelog

i merged it with the kernel-common android-3.0 repository directly from google as well.

also, today we found a huge source leak of codecs. [MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] already prepared and worked on them, the end result is here https://gerrit.nameless-rom.org/#/c/6454/
[LG Optimus Black] rellagher:
Ler go! :good:

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Just try last 4.4.2 nightly and install google camera. All working good here.
[LG Optimus Black] Lorenzoval:
First of all I'd like to thank you for all you are doing for our old P970. I'm glad to see that you and people involved are making this ROM even more stable and I wish I could contribute, but I'm not a programmer. Three months ago I dropped my Black from a height of about 20 cm and, as the glass of the screen broke, I gave it to my dad and I bought a Xperia Z1 Compact.

Maybe I could help fixing this issue. If you read this you'll see, under "Information for developers", how they fixed wifi hotspot. Tested by me on cm-10.2 and it worked. You can see what I did on my github.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
i am currently working with [MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] to make use of the new bcmdhd wifi driver and drop the old one.

this should also fix the wifi hotspot issues, thanks anyways! :)

oh, also i just backported F2FS support for the kernel. testing how the phone behaves with it and if all goes well, ill backport a recovery, which allows to format the system with F2FS :)
[LG Optimus Black] Lorenzoval:
Damn it! If I had known this before I would have never bought a new phone! xD

If users are still having problems with automatic date and time, I think flashing v20 baseband will help them. Maybe you should find a way to check baseband version and to setup automatic time according to it.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
haha :D

yes, i have a v20 baseband and never had any problems with date and time. though i havent got any further reports about it too.

to be honest, i am too lazy for writing something that checks the baseband and setups up automatic time, people who have problems can just flash a v20 baseband or tick and untick automatic time to fix it :D
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
camera is fixed on 4.4.3 now :)
[LG Optimus Black] jantdroid:
I can never really describe what an awesome dev you are! Thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
im turning red haha :)

in case you want to test it quickly, i guess the fix is in this kernel zip, just flash via recovery. else wait for the nightly :D
[LG Optimus Black] gman49:
Wow the download finished before I could finish reading the changelog
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
yeah haha :D

i updated the kernel, just finished right now.

from version 3.0.8 to 3.0.101 + a lot of extra patches.

the full and ready kernel will be available with the next nightly.

also ill then recreate the overclock kernel with the updates.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Not works for me... :(
[LG Optimus Black] zeit_x:
And for me also.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
did you flash the nightly or the kernel only?

my testers reports the nightly works, as well as on my own p970
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Last available nightly and kernel.

Baseband version: LGP970AT-00-V30b-EUR-XXX-NOV-29-2012+0

Nameless version: 4.4.3-20140619-p970-NIGHTLY

Build date: Thu Jun 19 04:17:01 CEST 2014

Kernel version: 3.0.101-nameless+alex@evisceration #15 Thu Jun 19 03:23:38 CEST 2014
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
dony flash the kernel i attached here, the one in nightly includes much more than this one i posted as i was working on it
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Just reflashed firmware, still can't connect to camera.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
it seems the nightly didnt take over a change. im rebuilding the p970 nightly :)

for a quick fix, you can go to /system/lib/ and rename "libion_ti.so" to "libion.so" and reboot
[LG Optimus Black] Rogue8X:
Perfect, camera work now, big thank to you
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Wow, we have camera again :)
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
Just for an information I want to know if Google Now (or modded one) working ? Even without touchless voice command, where it listens every "ok google" no matter sleeping too.
[LG Optimus Black] matshch:
Yes, Google Now works. Touchless voice command works too, at least, with Google Start and when you are on home screen.
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
Google Now works well with any 4.x ROM.

For "OK Google" just work with some languages or you need to change something in a script (easy).
[LG Optimus Black] infernus42:
it works!! :d
[LG Optimus Black] raduku009:
So, i tried this ROM a month ago, how is it now? When i installed it , it was lagging , the effects were not smooth and phone is moving slow. Even IZS now feels a bit laggy , i dont know why...
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
just a quick update again :)

yesterday i added support for changelogs at our api, changelogs since 20140622 should work

previous changelogs fetch the old changelogs and are not working.

[LG Optimus Black] zeit_x:
Hello from last two builds 21.06 and 22.06 I get error "com.android.incallui has stopped" when the phone is in use and receives incoming call, when it is in sleep mode it receives the calls normally.

I read that Non-Intrusive InCallUI is responsible but it can not be turned off in dialer options.

I'm attaching the log.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Dialer -> Settings -> Non intrusive incallui

for me it works fine, did you try a full wipe?
[LG Optimus Black] zeit_x:
When I try to uncheck Non intrusive incallui it appears again checked when I start the dialer again.

No, I didn't try full wipe. Everything is working fine when I revert to 19.06 build.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
the certificate with which the IncallUI and Dialer is signed changed with this change.

this is required so it gets permission to add system internal overlays.

if it doesnt get the permission, it dies. we tested that extensively and it worked fine on my p970, jflte and on my friends oppo find7a, hammerhead and i9300, though we always full wiped before.
[LG Optimus Black] zeit_x:
OK, I will try full wipe, thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
please let me know if it doesnt work, then i have to reinvestigate whats going wrong
[LG Optimus Black] zeit_x:
After full wipe everything seems to work fine.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
awesome, thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Just wanted to say that I don't know exactly what you did but the transition 4.4.3 - 4.4.4 brought some black magic in there. :P

My phone is as fast as my Nokia Lumia 925 and sometimes even open apps faster, what the hell haha (for the same usage of course and I don't play any games ^^).
[LG Optimus Black] doctor1991:
I have installed the rom today, is smooth and fast, before have ICS stock by Nooby, the only bug is the clock don't synchronizes the time in automatic, have a solution?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
4.4.3 - 4.4.4 was just a version bump, there were no changes as we had all already.

but i gave love to the kernel and spent a night with it..

try a v20 baseband.

im using v20o and it works fine :)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Haha I guess then that your love makes wonders. :P
[LG Optimus Black] doctor1991:
Have search with google but I don't found a valid link for the baseband, do you have one? Tahnks
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
no idea, i guess most links are down.

once i have good internet, ill upload my baseband :)
[LG Optimus Black] doctor1991:
I'll waiting, for now set manually the time.
[LG Optimus Black] Noobonic:
Great ROM so far! I can't seem to get the "OK Google" feature working though.
[LG Optimus Black] infernus42:
Hi Evi, my phone downloaded a 'uc.apk' update and told me to reboot and install. but whenever I reboot, it says it didn't install successfully. At this point the phone is working so well I'm afraid of breaking it... is this uc.apk a useful thing?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
A few posts before, 2 users confirmed this working. They were guessing seems :eek:
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
Maybe that's related with the very low mic recording sound...
[LG Optimus Black] mdfaisal:
hi i'm from v20c and i follow this step to instal nameless rom:

Factory Reset/Wipe Data

Format System

Format Dalvik Cache

Install ROM

but all i got is error code 7

i've downloaded version nameless-4.4.4-20140623-p970-NIGHTLY.zip

please somebody tell me where have i go wrong ?
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
Update your CWM.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
uc.apk is Update Center

it has a auto updater mechanism but it shouldnt prompt you to reboot though.
[LG Optimus Black] infernus42:
Alright. Thank you.:good:
[LG Optimus Black] jantdroid:
You're nightlies are getting better and better each day, somehow I checked the RAM it has somehow very low left after I fresh install the ROM, I tested your Velox ROM too and I gotta tell you, it's the best 10.2 out there.
[LG Optimus Black] Noobonic:
Update: It does indeed work. Took me hours to figure out why, but the Google Home and Google Search files from Gapps seem to be the problem. I removed them from the package and installed them from the play store. Saying "Ok Google" now works, but the mic input volume is indeed low. Hopefully that gets fixed. Now I need to find the correct permissions for the offline files ;).
[LG Optimus Black] no14me:
Hi, I flashed this rom and it really awesome. Its long time since I flash ROM. Now I'm playing with it. Everything great except the backlights. I unchecked it in Setting but it auto turn on every time I unlock screen. How can I turn it off?
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
HI guys...

I know you have a lot of work with this ROM, but..

2 things are stoping me from using it always:

1. Bluetooth ( I know it will be dificult to fix, since it's broken from 4.2.X ), but I realy need it.

2. GPS fix. Come on, this may not be so dificult to you since there are many ROMS with the GPS ok (ex:Mckay ROM).

Apart these, I cannot stay away from this ROM. It's simply beautiful and with all the mods needed for our black.

This is not a critic in any way...

I'm just waiting for the perfect ROM.

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] smy00oo:
Hi

Im using the last 4.4.4 with the GAps 4.4.4

Everything is great

The only problem is about signing google acount

I cant sign in

I did the full wipes but...

Please help me to solve.

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
can't sign in how?

New account, Google account, existing account, user@gmail.com, password, ok

Not ever had that problem... can you tell more?
[LG Optimus Black] smy00oo:
yeah

i know that

when im signing the acount, it say can not stablish...
[LG Optimus Black] Noobonic:
OK so using this rom for a few days and things seem pretty good so far. One bug that keep annoying me is whenever a text message comes in, the messaging app crashes. ie. Messaging has stopped unfortunately. I still get the text but I have to ok the notification about the messaging app stopping.

Edit: I should mention I'm still on the 20140623 nightly.
[LG Optimus Black] Gas_OB:
Today i tried the latest rom 24/6/2014 .

I went from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and i m glad that camera works fine at 720p .

One bug that bothered me on 4.4.2 is that if i turn flashlight on from the quick access menu and leave the phone lock,

then the flashlight will stay on and the only way to turn it off is by restarting the phone.Now its fine.

Wifi hot spot still not working though but i dont care that much for now.

Good job guys ! :D
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Have you tried re-installing with a wipe, or doing a full wipe then installing the Minimal package?

You should be able to at least login to your account.
[LG Optimus Black] smy00oo:
hi dear friend

yes i did it

i try again and report

thanks alot
[LG Optimus Black] m3lv1nht:
Still have this problem on build 20140624, also got bluetooth problem (very very very....slow), sometimes i also have SOD (screen of death) after my screen off, i can do nothing, push all buttons but none works.

some help please
[LG Optimus Black] ramola:
Can we use g-button as screen on off in this. Any way to do this.

I will need it as my power button is little weak. I have to press it repeatedly hence i commonly use g for screen lock.

I want to flash this rom but if i m having solution for locking on g button.Plz anybody. ...

please help me

i strongly need it

what is te most stable 4.4.x version yet?
[LG Optimus Black] kretos:
I've switched from IZS. You did a great work here, thank you very much. Overall the rom is quite fast and useful. I cannot restore SMS using My backup pro and data for shazam - don't know why.

About ART: I've switched and it's sloooowwwww.....
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
art is highly experimental and doesnt have the performance as an official release will have.

art just got included by google to offer developers a chance to make their apps ART compatible before it gets default, else we would end up with thousands of apps force closing at the new android release.
[LG Optimus Black] smy00oo:
Hi

There is one issue i guess.

I changed the baseband to v20o.

When i make a call from phonebook it shows "unknown" .

I had this problem with other jb roms too.

Is there any solution?
[LG Optimus Black] kretos:
Yeah, I know - I was just curious how it works on OB and it's painfully slow. I think there's something with screen responsiveness - sometimes I touch and nothing happens - I didn't observe it on IZS. I did a format (system, cache, data) from recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
May be early, but chances to sync Android L, or its a completely out of the line?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
you must be seriously kidding
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
Or may be seriously serious, OB's last hope for these days is you ;)
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
its released when its released. its called "L", not even the official codename is known. its ready when its ready.

[MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] and me will always keep an eye on the OB, but such requests are not possible.
[LG Optimus Black] Optimus White:
I have the same problem, too.
[LG Optimus Black] lupp0l0:
In last nightly, 20140627, Bluetooth is fixed. Thank you! LG should hire you guys :beer:

I've seen improvements in audio playing while screen is off too. Now the strange sounds don't arise anymore.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
great to hear :)

by the way, some mentioned a call waiting bug.

if someone experiences that, please get in touch with us.

we need some detailed logs, as we are on the way to fix it :)
[LG Optimus Black] smy00oo:
No one answer this question?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
we are working on the ril, thats why i asked in the previous post if people can get in touch with us.

we need logs, data, something to work with as "this doesn't work" is not really helpful :)
[LG Optimus Black] raduku009:
[MENTION=4833385]Evisceration[/MENTION] Hey man , you're doing a great job , keep up the good work and always be positive with what you're doing, i've tried the ROM but for me it isn't that smooth(am i the only one?), it's laggy and i don't know how to make it faster(as possible) i will try this rom again next month. Thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
yes, sorry for that. i havent had much time before to work on it, now i started working on it with dheeraj.

he does an awesome job fixing stuffs, we now have a opensource audio hal (gets rids of blobs), opensouce 720p de- and encoders, fixed bluetooth and much more.

meanwhile i am bringing the kernel up-to-date again and work on the performance side of things.

it will take a bit, we prepare a lot, but sooner or later we are ready for the future and upcomming android releases :)
[LG Optimus Black] raduku009:
No need to be sorry, it's the thing that i cannot find a smooth ROM , not even IZS, and i know the phone was smoother even with IZS before but i do not know what happend that it became a bit laggy and slow responding, you did a great job with your ROM. I just cant figure out what happend...maybe cm7 will be an idea but its pretty old...
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
ok, a quick update again as a lot happened the last two days.

as a lot changed, we kindly ask for your feedback. highly prefered are reports WITH logs.

the p970 now has a opensource audio hal

some fixes to the RIL (call waiting? please someone verify that!)

fixed bluetooth (please someone verify as well)

fixes at the HWC (Hardware Composer)

switched the black powerhal with cm's powerhal (should make the overall experience a bit smoother)

a TON of kernel changes

kernel is now built with Linaro 4.9.1, optimized for Cortex-A8, targetting the 3.0.101 kernel, as we have it

a lot of other minimalistic changes, fixes and improvements in the rom sources

we rely on your feedback! :)

// edit:

seems HD 720p video recording got fixed now too, have to test more but it looks good.

// edit2:

yes, 720p works fine for me BUT do NOT touch the damn screen while recording or it starts to autofocus and the whole thing crashes haha.
[LG Optimus Black] Noobonic:
WOAH! This is GREAT news :D. By any chance did the messaging app crash issue get fixed?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
i just sent myself a SMS and it did not crash, i think this was related to it https://github.com/NamelessRom/andr...mmit/b326a2107f7ede76c0251e0092a952e460bf2fd1
[LG Optimus Black] Noobonic:
Sweet! Will test as soon as the new build is up. Thanks Evisceration!

Oh one more thing, any hope with increasing the mic's input volume? For using it with Google Now.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
[MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] set it to the maximum value, yes :)

and dont thank me, without him this all would not be possible :)
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
Hello...

Me saying what quick tests shows....

- Bluetooth (with car stereo) works now 4 meters away from the car (cool). Downside is music with a lot of chuncks always. (maybe Apollo???). With other roms till 4.1.2 everything ok with music.

Car calling test - My wife was able to talk with me from the bluetooth car stereo, but comunication with a lot of echoes.

- GPS still the same. 2 sattelites with no fixing.

- Camera Video- Could not start a video recording (Camera and Google Camera). Touching "start" does nothing.

Well, for now it's all. Hope this can help developing...

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
appreciated but without logs, these are just "stories" :D

we need data to analyse, however it all starts with the tomorrows build as it contains the lots of changes we did (20140628)

about the chunks, im a metal head, my music is loud and if possible even louder than loud :D

but i got crisp sound with apollo, however lets see how it is for everyone from tomorrow onwards.
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
Ok. appreciate that.

About chuncks, only in bluetooth plaiyng, Alone, Apollo plays well.

LOGS... well I'm going to learn how to do it. Thanks

Good job.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
ah ok, makes sense haha :D

thanks already for the feedback!

this tells us there is more work left ;)
[LG Optimus Black] mechtiger:
Hi all, Just a quick question with no proof :) Has anyone else had an issue from daily 27th upwards of when you plug a charger in the phone hard locks up and only a battery pull fixes it?

Thanks in advance and if no one else is I will try and work out how to get a log :)
[LG Optimus Black] t3l3m4k0:
near to stable

From CM10, i think this ROM is the most stable. Major problems are on adaptation of Android sources to Nameless (some force closes).

Android 4.4

Bluetooth all ok, (music, calls)

Camera: photo ok, video going to be ok

No lags.

There is only a "must": update broadcom wireless driver, old driver eats lots of battery.

Greath congratulations to the best Nameless Team, Evisceration and Dirhu!!!!

many thanks.

:good:
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
commits for the new bcmdhd wifi drivers are up on gerrit as drafts, theres some work left but not much i guess :)

after finishing it and some testing, we will merge it.

this should also make it possible to use the wifi hotspot, which is currently really bugged.

also gps is a bit bugged too, but after that most issues should be sorted out :)

im only afraid of Android L.

it has so many animations and transitions, which look lovely but i guess it will stress the phone a lot and make it really laggy.

to say, upcomming android releases will still be portable but most likely unusable because of our limited power..
[LG Optimus Black] gman49:
Well as far as android l is concerned I think we should be happy with a fully functional kitkat...which looks like it is very close due to a brilliant team of devs. Much more then we could have ever hoped for our not overly popular but much loved black. Thanks so much to the devs and especially evi....hats off to you!
[LG Optimus Black] t3l3m4k0:
From 2.2 to 4.4.4 is a long life cicle and perhaps we can config animations and transitions :p

i repeat, thx to Nameless Team.
