Im liking this custom ROM alot! The black bar looks sweet on my phone. Cool battery indicator too. Having root and a couple of superuser apps preinstalled is a plus! Even the android boot animation is a nice change of bootup scenery :)

I have flashed the phone with the russian rom and it just won't go in to fastboot mode. vol+ and search (hold buttons) and plug in usb cable. It just regular boots for me.

Anyone know whats up?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] skribbler86:
Boot into fastboot the way you mentioned but without plugging in the usb cable. After fastboot appears then plug in the cable
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] verrox:
I had to restart my phone som times before i got it, buf after a while i eventually got it to work.

Tryed removing battery, THEN vol+, search and plug it in whilst holding them ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] flyboyovyick:
i have tryed about 5 times now and nothing.

edit: 7 times!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] skribbler86:
Loads into fast boot for me, I just did it... vol+ search and power button... holding all 3 until fastboot comes up
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] flyboyovyick:
does the lg logo come up for you?

I am doing:

Holding Volume Up and Search Button then plugging in USB Cable. The White LG logo come up then the LG Blue animation, then it loads android and arrives at the lock screen. Nothing else.

I have also tryed vol up, search and power button hold in. And the same, normal boot.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] skribbler86:
It seems to me that you havent flashed your phone with the Russian Rom. Try doing it again. If it still doesn't work then go back and download it again and make sure its the correct Rom. Then repeat these steps.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] flyboyovyick:
I didn't download the one from the polish site because the image (capchta?) wouldn't show show i got the russian rom from MoDaCo.

Hi guys I have flashed the russian 2.1 with fastboot, gone into fastboot mode but when I point device manager to the usb drivers earlier in this thread it says they are not compatible with windows 7 64 bit?

Does anyone have the drivers? :confused:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] flyboyovyick:
I have the drivers.

1) Type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" at an admin command prompt

2) Reboot

3) Check to see if the desktop says "Test Mode" on the corners

This is for windows vista/7 probably works with xp.

Install the drivers attached once in Test Mode.

Hope this helps!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Satans_Hell:
Thanks for your help, but my computer still wont recognise the device even with thos drivers as well. :rolleyes:

[Vibrant General] Sane1:
Just tried to update the "official" way and the phone stopped at red screen with what looked like "update failed" in the center and rebooted. Phone works fine, but it didn't update and it tells me "no firmware" when I manually check. Has this happened to anyone else and what could have caused this?

My Rom is stock, rooted, with voodoo lagfix. I disabled the lagfix as soon as I noticed my phone trying to connect to the update servers. Tried to update and it failed. I know I could just install a j16 based Rom or use another method to update, I'm just curious about what could have made it fail and/or if anyone else had this happen?
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Verify that the Voodoo lagfix is disabled (guide here) then the easiest way is to Odin back to JDF and apply the update either thru Kies Mini or skip going back to JDF and flash the JI6 from the Bible sticky in the dev forum. Just remember to post questions outside the dev forum, which is for dev discussion only.

Feel free to post back and let us know how it went.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
There is not much that i miss about the stock apps on the Fascinate. However, I must say that I do miss the awesome music widget that you can pull down the CD (with album art on it) from the top of the screen. Do you think it's possible to port this over to use?

I have tried taking the apk and odex files from the stock rom and placing them into /system/app but it does not work. I'm not sure if voodoo's new ext4 file format is causing permission issues or what, but either way i haven't been able to get it working. Anyone have any ideas on this? If not, anyone up for porting over the app :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Are you on JT's rom? if so don't use an apk with an odex, his system is deodex'ed.

Try the following apk, it should work.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
I get "application not installed" when I try to install it. Could it be because there is already a Music app called "Music" on Jt's rom?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] blazingwolf:
That is a system file. You can't just install it. You need to replace the original file with that one with adb or root explorer (or something similar).
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mackeydesigns:
adb pull /system/apps/musicplayer.apk

backup that version, copy new version into its place.

adb push musicplayer.apk /system/apps/

?? is that how you would do it? or is that even where it is?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
I think it's /system/app

regardless, i have tried this and every time i do it my phone goes to black screen after the VZW screen. It will just sit there. Then when I go back and put the original .apk back in place...it boots right up and works. I have a friend trying to go back to the touchwiz calendar who has the exact same problem. Neither of us can figure it out.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Here flash this through CW and see if it still gives you a black screen.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
that worked :) can you make one for the touchwiz calendar apk too? I'd love to know what you did to make it and what the difference is so i can do it myself.

The one part that stinks is that the widget on the lockscreen is a feature of TouchWiz lockscreen, as it's not work on stock. Once I flashed the puzzle lock it worked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wykedx:
so I have a vibrant and was running 1.6 bionix mod on it, and i figured i would download 1.7 and flash it over. But before I did I wanted to flash back to stock via odin to download the OTA but when I did that I get a black screen after the galaxy s logo..I have looked and searched these forums and

and I am currently trying to use eugenes froyo flash method, however I need to use adb reboot and adb cannot detect my phone because I assume it's not rooted anymore since I reverted back to stock..

any ideas?? on how to root my phone while it's in this soft brick or any ideas what to flash in odin to fix this ?? If this thread was unclear I will clarify any questions.

PS. ever since i used odin to flash Euguenes froyo rom whenever I start up the phone it goes straight to android system recovery and I do not have the option to do anything else. HELPPP

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav3wash:
your phone doesn't have to be rooted to use adb ... :o

When your phone throws you into recovery with that media error, unplug your phone for 5 seconds, and plug it back in. Eugene put that in the instructions, and i didn't read that part either lol. If adb still doesn't work, you need to dl the right drivers again
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wykedx:
when you unplug the phone and re plug in what should the phone do?

is it just so the computer recognizes the phone or does it boot something up?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav3wash:
nothing will happen on the phone, but your computer and adb will recognize the phone

thank you so much!! now i can flash the stock rom correct? or can voodoo still mess my phone up?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav3wash:
Haha no problem. As for Voodoo ... i never ventured there. I usually stick with JAC's or King Kilikkk's, but here's the uninstall/verification for Voodoo. Try it b4 you flash anything else just to be safe.

How-to Disable the Voodoo Lagfix:

1. Once again, you MUST disable the Voodoo lag fix in order to flash any other rom, kernel, or perform a nandroid backup. If you don't...well....lets just say I warned you.

2. Its simple. Create a folder on the root of your sdcard called 'Voodoo'.

3. Now, open notepad or something similar and save the blank file. Name it 'disable-lagfix'. This file cannot have any file extension, so remove it if it does.

4. Place your blank file into the 'Voodoo' folder you made on your sdcard.

5. In order to disable, simply power down your phone and power it back up.

6. FINISHED! You can now flash anything you'd like!

How-to Confirm Voodoo Lagfix is Disabled:

1. In adb shell or terminal type 'mount'

2. If it is disabled is should read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'.

3. If it is not disabled, it will read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4'.

I like the pmg files u put up. If you were to make one, can u make a splash1 with (the android name and cyanogenmod logo in the o. ); the one that looks like this: (andrOid).That would be way awesome! Thanks!

Edit: Srry if possible can u make the splash1 cyanogenmod in the middle and cuts through it. its the cyanogen5.jpg thanks! i really appreciate it do u have a donation link?

IMPORTANT: RENAME THESE TO PB31IMG.zip

Remember to make sure your SD Card is formatted FAT32 and you place whichever PB31IMG.zip file you want to use on the root of the card. Boot into hboot, press up on the volume rocker, confirm the update and viola! New splash1

[G2 and Desire Z General] greensnow:
there are alot of mixed opinions on how to properly train a brand new battery, I'm talking right out the box 5 mins ago. Some are saying let the new battery drain and then start the charging/discharging and some are saying charge it right out of the box.

Anybody have a definite answer that has worked for them? Battery life has been an issue for me in the past and i wanna get this one right. thanks guys!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
I charge it right out the box then do a full discharge and charge it back up again.

I think I'm a moderate / heavy user and I still get quite good battery life. Averaging around 20 hours before I need to charge.

This was actually last night before I charged it:
[G2 and Desire Z General] -RotorDemon-:
It's Lithium Ion. You don't need to train it.

Android however needs to figure out how long it can run before the battery is dead. Charge it til it's full and run it down. Do that a few times and the OS should get a pretty good idea on where the battery is sitting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] greensnow:
yeah sorry for not being more clear, this is what I meant. not training the battery itself but the system so the battery stats are more precise
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
Wasn't there a special HTC-approved charging strategy that supposedly improves battery life dramatically? Was that ever debunked as BS?
[G2 and Desire Z General] manny0:
you are not a heavy user then. I got about 12 hours with 2G only selected for most of the day. switched to HSPA. hspa+ 8megs killlllz my battery. I went from 70% to about 30 within a few hours just sitting in HSPA+ area and browsing and checking emails and facebooking. at about 12:30 that night i was at about 15%
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
You need to delete batterystats.bin from system if you get inaccurate readings. And yes, lithium ion batteries need no training. That was the older type nickel-whatever...
[G2 and Desire Z General] rmcsc:
So, you're basically saying we need to train the OS, not the battery, am I right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] booloobunny:
I always gave the battery a full charge and then let it go down to 0 and finally power down before re-charging. After doing that a few times I just did whatever as far as charging goes.

I also used to charge a lot here and there through out the day. I know only charge when it's low and I know I am doing a full charge. Not sure if it makes a difference with battery health, but I feel like I notice a difference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
Lithium Ion batteries should not have complete discharge cycles. Keep it above 40% when you can. Charge it regularly.

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
[G2 and Desire Z General] ThaGeNeCySt:
well I did the Evo trick and... i'm at 12 hours off the charge and 34%... that's with web browsing, texting, gtalk, phone calls, etc.

I think the GSM Auto (PRL) has helped a bit as my "time without a signal" went from 44% to 0%.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jaytxvo:
There are too many different answers from discharge at half, charge to full then discharge, and not let it discharge below 40%.

I think we should all test and log the different techniques.

So far

44 hours with light use

21 hours with normal use

15 hours with heavy use

and what I did was discharge at half and fully charge, also I dont let it shut down by itself and turn it off at 1 %.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
This has helped improve my battery life significantly.

I have also noticed my signal is more stable.

Okay, I read the post and did the evo trick, from my understand it stops your phone from constantly looking for a network.

while I made the changes, am I suppose to have "use only 2G network" check or unchecked? Also my connection changes from E to H all the time with this trick, is that suppose to happen because from my understanding it should stop it from switching networks?

I just power off my phone and charge it until its green.

[G2 and Desire Z General] CaliCL9:
So after fully charging my phone the whole night to full. After 4 hours of heavy use I'm at 60%... I did the evo trick and using the gsm auto for signal.. signal has been solid but I feel like battery is draining more
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
i swear i think it's more "training" the battery power calculator system - as everyone else has said, these batteries don't require "training" and from what i've researched using my google fu, i believe you want to keep from draining the battery all the way unnecessarily, ie recharge when it gets to 35 or 40% remaining charge if possible.

But something happened that i thought i'd throw in here, and it ties in with that evo trick. i was getting decent battery life, taking off the charge at midnight when it'd hit 100% or full charge, by 6:00PM it'd be down to 25 to 40% , .

Last nite, i had come home early, and it hit full charge by 8:30PM (i charge it while it's tethered to my computer and i'm browsing using the laptop), but last night i left it on, charging, till 1:00AM, some 4.5 hours after it was showing that it had reached 100%.

today, same moderate useage, when i got home at 6:00PM, battery was still showing 85% charge remaining. I don't know if before, the battery power calculation software was reading 100% early, ie when the batt was really only at 75%. I know it's only suppostion on my part, but i don't know how else to explain it.

all i know is today i got an astronomical amount of remaining charge compared to earlier. I've had the phone, btw since Oct 1 or 2, i was one of the first "pre-orders".

maybe somebody can fit the above info into the full solution.
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
I've had mine since the 6th and the battery life went from fair to amazing. I did nothing special. I keep an eye on what apps are consuming power and do some tweaking, but that doesn't explain the difference. So the battery life is great!

I'm thinking about getting a spare battery. Would my calibration be off if I swap batteries often? I'm planning a trip and gonna get a spare just in case.
[Hero CDMA General] Vandelay007:
Yeah, it would be pointless if you are constantly swapping them because although the batteries are the same or similar they will have different capacities....I use two batteries myself so I always have one ready....I like it better that way....
[Hero CDMA General] cytherian:
I don't quite follow. First you are saying it's pointless to get another battery if you swap them often. And then you say you have two batteries yourself.

Each battery has it's own capacity/memory. This is not governed by the phone. However, the phone may not reflect the actual battery level if you swap batteries at different power levels. That's not so much of a big deal, as the main intention is to keep the phone powered. I've swapped batteries often with one of my other phones and haven't noticed any problems. The battery that was older didn't last quite as long as the new one, but it still worked.
[Hero CDMA General] shilent:
I think he was saying that its pointless to calibrate if you're gonna swap often
[Hero CDMA General] Vandelay007:
That is exactly what I am saying...
[Hero CDMA General] cytherian:
Ah, OK. Misunderstood.

What does "calibration" actually do? Will it improve the efficiency of battery usage?
[Hero CDMA General] Vandelay007:
Allegedly, I can't tell you for sure how much it will extend battery life because I don't do it....but supposedly if you do it faithfully for a week or so it works
