Pixelated: its like a gif with not 256 colors but 128, so u see some small quadrats.

Color banding: these are bandings when you use wallpapers with fine gradients and the display can handle all the colors.

In a normal way, android should interpolate these aretfacts, but it doesnt. its a known bug since the start from android and depends on our display device: we have only 18Bit colors instead of 32, so some pixels have to merged to avoid this bug.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] aspee:
can you tell us time so I will ready with full charge and usb cable

:-)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] bbogdann:
come on andy.......these are few minors bugs.......let us play with your rom and with your great work...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] thachtunganh:
Oh , i understood :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DaXmax:
If u have no more stuff to fix... RELEASE IT TODAY AND WILL GIVE U FEEDBACK ASAP SOON AFTER FLASH!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] bbogdann:
I think that Andy's release is the biggest event of the year through P500 users....it's even bigger than LG official gingerbread release....
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] GonDr:
hmm that's strong bugs
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] terratrix:
How ugly ? Mind sharing a screenshot?

Sent from my LG-P500
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
ugly means, the UI isnt conform to the rest of modified rom, it needs some new

images, gradients and layout optimizations. the ugly apps are usable as before ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] aspee:
I will managed me with small bugs

the people who managed with mik_os rom,all will managed becuz mik has more bugs than this

+1 for andy
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] dislplin01:
Even with the bugs this exciting I can't wait to test it out
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DaXmax:
I just wish u upload it today as i gonna use it now! Lol
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] acrossy:
I see your dilemma on this Andy!

The expectation we users are having for your ROM and your desire to deliver us the closest thing to "THE BEST" and yet the apparent lack of time to perfectly conciliate both factors must be somewhat displeasing deep deep down... BUT STILL if you can, in fact, eventually work on this on your REAL (and not demanded :P) spare time... it will be as always, most appreciated! 1 "bug" at a time or so, I'm sure it will work out well ^^b

GL on the final touches! ;)

Sir, no problem with wifi tethering?

I think is important...

As i do not use my phone to surf on my pc that alternative is useless for me also i got fast internet at home and its wireless so there is no problem for me and the fm player is nothing that matters for me. UI is nothing i care about its the features and love he has been giving this Rom

Kinda too bad... Now have to use wifi tether on my windows 8... :o
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
USB is really, really, nice working - it doesnt matter if you enable adb or not - you need

only a usb cable, connect your phone to your PC, enable "enable usb mass storage" in expanded

statusbar and enjoy, without fu**ing LG usb drivers, windows system know

about this rom via mass storage, not fu**ing MTP from LG with a crappy patch :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] gmpurohit:
I think this is the one of the many killer features of the Andy's rom..
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DaXmax:
That... WILL BE A KILLING SPREE! AND THAT! SURELY WORKS ON WINDOWS 8..

THANKS for the info
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
Has anyone a running LG Gingerbread stock rom running and/or mik's 2.3.5 ?

i would like to know about the following issue:

1.) Open your image Gallery App

2.) Choose a image about you know that the pixel size is more than the P500 has, maybe 1024x768 and has many colored gradients

3.) Choose these image as Wallpaper and crop the image with the gallery app so it fits to the device screen

4.) apply the image as wallpaper

5.) look at your android desktop and take a look on gradients: have it color bandings or pixelated regions like a 256 color gif image?

Is this issue in all roms, or only on my rom?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] acrossy:
I'm sorry I Can not help you there Andy, I'm using your previous Rom xD

Hope that does not pose a serious issue tho! Good Luck ^^b
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lucascm08:
It really have regions like a 256 color gif, it's more evident in white icons. i'm using Mik's 6.5.7
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] itsmechg:
yes it does look like a 256 color gif... Am on Mik's CM7 (6.5.7)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] atulalvenkar:
Possibly too late for a feature request but how about having native screenshot support using hardware buttons like Samsung galaxy variants. Maybe in a future release.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] vador9:
On mik's 2.3.5 yes it does
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] hsingh1993:

Multi-mount means, you can have a mount to /mnt/sdcard and the same

time you can connect to pc with mass storage function.

on our device it isnt possible.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shyam2010:
well, advance congratulations to Andy !!! thanks for all the hardwork and time, you are one helluva person, its because ppl like you are here, that i can admire the hard work ppl goes through.. i am not praising u or anything like that to make u upload ur ROM faster (even though its not gonna work ;p), but just putting my mind out here...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Snickers:
andy try: Wallpaper Set & Save.apk
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
People cut the crap. We all know you want the rom, we all know andy is finishing it, therefore wait for it and stop the spam, is getting annoying and moderators should be clearing this up soon if you don't stop.

And SWEATTAIMI no more "I want it now" crap, if I were for andy I would release the rom next week after reading that all the time.

Have respect for andy, and he will show respect to you.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mathew3184:
best is to lock the thread till release.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shhbz:
@all go to sleep tomorrow when you wake up u will get the baked rom ready to serve, while i keep my avator eyes open keeping a check on this thread

so for now rest in peace ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] GonDr:
I agree with you, after know bugs in Andy's rom, i hope some one can help and develop with Andy to solve all bugs, i can wait, but hope Andy release rom without bugs, people now are hungry for bombastic Andy's rom i understand it, but i expect when people see bugs, they will be unhappy.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
ok, no we are one step closer ... to prevent all these color bandings and dither pixels, we need support for RGB_666, which isnt in CM7, CAF nor AOSP supported. **** :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
Who gives a crap anyway with the pixel loss of applying a big image :S just resize it and it wont be any problem
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zekozeko:
I had banding issue before, when I used earlier versions of franco kernel, untill v18 as I recall. It was happening on stock froyo and mik's cm7, while on cm7 with mik's kernel there wasn't any problems. Issue was gone with v18 rewrite from franco.

So maybe it's kernel related?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] masteryx:
I've seen that "pixelation" all over CM7.1 with franco's kernel up 'til 19.2, when I switched back to Froyo - not because of this, but because of better battery life on 2.2.x. I don't think it's kernel related, but then again I'm no developer so my opinion worths nothing.

The pixelation was especially visible on certain widgets during the desktop screen flip. Once the desktop flip motion stopped, the pixelation became less visible - but still present. Same thing with the list scroll end... thingy - the orange light that shows when you reach the end of a list - horrible banding effect.

By now it looks like andy figured out why it appears... perhaps in the future he will also figure out how to address it. Cheers! (literally, I'm actually having a beer right now :D )
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zekozeko:
You had different problem - launcher related. Enable high quality scrolling/drawing in your launcher and enjoy:)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] samcad:
I'm still waiting for yuA promisy Rom... ;) ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
Its not launcher or kernel related. just installed stock LG kernel - nothing happens.

installed launcher pro, the same: nothing happens.

installed "set wallpaper" from market: Bug is gone away for wallpaper, but on lockscreen i still have pixelation and color bandings:(

#### edit

is it a scaling problem ????

See the bubbles on the screenshot :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] masteryx:
I wondered about that myself, andy, especially when I heard some people saying that the resolution is actually 318x478 or something like that. Really hard for me to tell if CM7 eats 2 pixels horizontally and vertically and then redraws everything on the screen... especially now when I no longer have it installed. But maybe this is a clue for your research? I'd be terribly disappointed to misinform you, but I think it doesn't take too much to verify.

Later edit: o.O - andy, your screenshot is 319x479 pixels!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
yes its a scaling problem, i do not get theese problems with any rom's if i use a picture that is like 800x500 etc

its a problem with wallpaper resize, to big pictures are hard to resize good for wallpaper applier
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zekozeko:
It's the problem with transparency in UI, at least in CM7 themes, like meizu and miui (ZduneX25, that made them said so).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] schnappi1978:
Andy,can you solve the radiofm problem?I am asking you as a user that listends a lot radio going to and coming from work.Can we use other application for this?

Thanks!

true the pixelaration was there in mik rom too in the beginning which was visible more in light wallpapers ,where as in darker ones it was not that visble

have u tried multi- picture live wallpaper to set on screen just a suggestion
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DaXmax:
Those scaling maybe having transparency problem... 319x479... In games, it will shrink to not the original size!

hey andy can you take a look at this? this is from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266033
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Aelyus:
You could try with an exact resolution image, I always resize my wallpapers to 640x480 before putting them into my sd card, and then apply them via Wallpaper Set & Save/MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and as you said, banding goes away, at least on the Launcher UI, but the Lockscreen has banding still, this is on Mik's CM7.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] dislplin01:
Find a better photo like the ones from stock to see it that screen doesn't fit in any ROM like the golden leaf background that comes first with our phone?? Those bubbles looked flawed on any ROM???

Lol man to many shots for me tonight

Good luck Andy,, from SF ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] orsonbear:
Banding or pixelization reducing method

Maybe obvious to someone but the pixelization or banding will be forever if the P500 LCD and display output chip doesn't have both at least 8 bit/pixel dept. The way to reduce it is the dithering technique used by the rom's display rendering routines. If the rom's rendering routines are without dithering techniques the color banding will be ever visible, that's all... Cheers!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] alextirca:
He is right, you got a thanks for me my friend, you can't do a SGS 2 from, peace of **** phone like LG. it is a mid-range phone, and we should manage with the ideea.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] logo_32:
Dude, this piece of **** phone has the most number of HAPPY users than even SGS 2.. :)

For us people who cant afford a GALAXY, people like MIK, Franco, KNZO, and even ANDY for that matter can make it at par with the SGS 2... may be not with the bechmarking scores... but in rest of the usage... CyanogenMOD, or VOID... its smooth as silk..!!

About the pixelation, im no developer, but as a user i can say, ive never observed any pixelation in void for tht matter..!! Maybe my eyes need check up :D but still... you can ask KNZO if he did anything different with the rendering in VOID..!!

P.S.: Thanks for all the efforts andy :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
Just reverted all patches in libsurfaceflinger, libsurfaceflinger_client, libpixelflinger and libskia - these are the libs for UI rendering, maybe i can solve the problem this way.

No panic my friends, its not related to implemented function change of our bomb - its only UI display code so it doesnt matter :)

Proximity sensor acts weird. While in call the screen remains black and it stays there for 10 secs. It does not respond to taps, pressing hardware keys, etc.

P.S: You must add Theme Chooser in next release because the ROM is odexed.

Great job!

But, aac streams don't work. I tried the original player, XiiaLive and A online radio.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] nhoj_O1:
why superuser always force close?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
aac streams was disabled/not in ueventd, this gets enabled in next release.

Have tested yet the superuser app, on my device it does not FC.

Can you provide a logcat ?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] bioan:
Sooner or later you will have to port the newer kernel.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
yes this must be do ... but this is LG's job to let drivers working :D

Gingerbread is running (more or less good), we see what's coming up with a (possible and hopefully) new release from LG, than we can take drivers and kernel from this release and integrate it in our ROMs ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarfaraz1989:
Doesnt newer kernel bring along some goodies like better performance..integrating LG's drivers wud be a pain in the ass i think...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
without drivers from LG we can not create a ROM, we need this.

But, i think Android is OpenSource - so LG & others should provide drivers and other relevant stuff for this system as OpenSource too. A community can develop faster and much more better, we see that on Linux like Ubuntu or Fedora - SuSE is much closed source and many developers wouldn't develop for SuSE...

OK, too much OffTopic here :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] cimdrap:
this means that it's a no sense upgrading to gingerbread before the official release
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] andy572:
That's your decision: if you can live with small bugs or unfunctional hardware (like FM radio or USB tethering possibly), then you can upgrade to a home brewed rom anyway and wait until LG releases a official update - and hope, after a release someone provides a better rom with full functional hardware (like me:D).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] bioan:
Andy, what's wrong with the proximity sensor ?

Andy found an issue that he sees important to solve and he wants to fix it before he releases the ROM, that's it!

Let's just wait and pray for an ASAP solution on his behalf so we can all enjoy the fruits of his hard labor! :)

Once again... good Luck Andy!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ScripterJR:
I think it can be easly said, don't expect his rom this weekend. Bugs popped up and he's fixing them. He's working pretty damn hard and I rather he releases a rom where he fixes the known bugs so later he can work on bugs that we users have found if he has the time.

Take your time Andy, don't listen to this bull**** about releasing it this weekend. Release it when you want to release it not when the users want it to be released.
