Hi guys!

The new rom is really fantastic, but I still have a BIG issue.

My market app is force closing when I try to download or update an app.

I've tried clearing the cache, deleting market data, wiping dalvik cache, reinstalling the rom, doing factory reset, reinstalling the market (2.3.6), nothing works.

Also, I've noticed the market doesn't appear after a rom reinstall (I do full wipe with fastboot), although I did have it the first time.

Can you please help me solve this?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] AltairAC:
2 quick questions:

The first one is very important to me and I need the answer ASAP. When I got my GT540 I tried many ROMs and read a lot about them (comments and feedbacks...) but after 2.2.1 I stopped following the updates.

So my first question is for those who tested them "all": Which of all the ROMs, ranging from 2.1 stock through all the modifications to the current 2.3.4 v2.0 RC0, is the best when it comes to battery endurance? I know that this depends on various things but I didn't install any apps on my 2.2.1 since I use it mostly for listening to music and sms/calls and of course I turned off all the stuff as advised in many threads. For the next week I basically need 3 things to work: music player, sms and wifi. So which ROM with those 3 things working will give me max. battery length?

I am very happy with 2.2.1 but I am thinking to upgrade to version 2.3.4 v2.0 M6 since R0 isn't stable enough if I read correctly. I also read that battery endurance is better on the M6 version but comparing to the other 2.3.4 versions and I wanna know how it's comparing to 2.2 and 2.1.

Second question is not so important but I maybe need this info in the future. Is it possible to use GT540 as a modem so that my PC is using the phone as a modem via USB or bluetooth? Basically I wanna connect my LG with the PC, turn on 2G/3G on my phone and make my PC use the mobile internet instead DSL. It is possible via LG PC Suite if I recall correctly but I can't sync my phone with the LG Suite since I updated my phone from Stock 2.1 to any other modified version.

Thanks in advance!

I tried this development rom a few times, but everytime I have problem with mounting SD-card with messages like empty sd of corrupt sd-card.

Can someone give advise or confirm this problem in this Rom. Rom from Joe Stone give no problem with same sd-card.Sd-card is Kingston Micro SD HC 8 GB card.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
If you realy need only this functionalities of your phone, just use a 2.1 stock ROM.

Without a joke.

If ders a swap partition on sd it automatically gets activated on boot,why doj u need a script*confused*
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
to change the swappiness (well, at least idk how to this w/o the script)

and i use the swap in ext partition script. if i want to make swap partition, i must make unusable ext partition, so i dont make the swap partition, and have the swap (swp file) in ext partition instead (i made sd card partitioning in cwm, dont have card reader atm)...

Yep. Same Here. :/
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tong.po:
Yep, one after the other.

Before updating to this version I had the same problem with the youtube app.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
I think I have an idea why the battery thing might happen. I think using SetCPU with ondemand profile during use and with lowered frequencies during screen-off f*cks up the battery stats(pardon the language). I might try setting a constant 600Mhz frequency and removing the battery stats next time my battery runs out.:rolleyes:

And is there any known issues in this version?

I think these should be on #1...

My GT540 becomes laggy when playing angry birds (in higher level only) runnig on black version of 2.1

would it perform better on 2.3?

and the procedure is enter fastboot->flash boot.img & recovery.img & the rom?

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] SrkeeOSK:
since m2 i'm not using setcpu anymore, the spped is really fine, and i have no battery problems, so, maybe it is connected, maybe the software calculates battery with prediction how long it will last, and the higher the values are in setcpu, it's less precise.

4days 14 hours, 45%, only thing i'm not using is data connection, and 3g. wireless when i'm in range, data rarely.

veery happy wih my m5, awaiting something that will be better.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
yes angry birds will be less lag in 2.3.4 overclocked to at least 700mhz. and the fastboot commands are

cd C:\android(or where ever u saved the fastboot files and rom)

fastboot -w

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

for recovery will be

fastboot flash recovery recovery_clockwork_X.X.X.X_swift.img

correct me if there are mistakes
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
cd C:\Android

(i) Then type:

fastboot.exe -w

(ii) Once that's completed, type:

fastboot.exe erase system

(iii) Once that's completed, type:

fastboot.exe flash system system.img

(iv) Once that's completed, type:

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

(v) To install recovery (optional) type:

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

(vi) Once that's completed, type:

fastboot.exe reboot

Has not failed on me and the 2 times it did i repeated the process and all was well :)

It helps if you make a note pad of these stick it in the folder you use for fastboot modding etc then all you have to do is enter your mod folder copy and paste the address to cmd just put cd in front of file path then open your note pad and copy n paste till process is done :) if your lazy or change roms heaps it helps

also in adb simply type adb to get your command list i saved this to a note pad aswell it comes in handy
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
hmmm i always type fastboot without .exe and it also works plus its shorter :D

If u are upgrading the version of the ROM like from m6 to RC0

fastboot -w

and

fastboot erase system

is not needed
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] chaudha4@hotmail.com:
I don't think that is correct. I don't even have setCPU installed and I use the default profile and it still happens. Once you are at 40%, you phone can die any minute.

have you partitioned your sd card?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
yes i have but after doing that in m6 my phone dosent mount the sdcard.. so i had to use another sdcard
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
reformat the other card clearing all partitions off it then put the card into your phone boot into recovery and select advanced now select partition sdcard it will ask you for the partition size you want and also what swap size you want.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] revilo34:
is that all? why when i install application is still save it in phone memory even i set to storage to sd or external memory? what should i do to automatically install it to the sd card or the said partition? please help :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
Is your battery the same with RC0? Mine is draining a lot faster. It lasted 3 days with M6 and 1 day with RC0.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
For installing apps in sdcard by default go to setting, cyanogenmod settings,application,install location.

As for the partition it's for swap which helps the system lighten the load and not for apps.

Can't download Android Apps for 2.2 and above

I tried using market enabler and market access but both change the carrier and location. Android market place recognises the device and does not let you download apps which are incompatible with the official stock ROM. I want to use apps which are for android v2.2 and above. Even with Swift market does not let me download apps which are for 2.2 or 2.3 and above.

Any tool that can help me on this to fake device or download directly from market on PC.

Hi everyone,

Just started to tweak my little brothers phone. Now I have the following problem.

Whe I installed the rom it is in a weird language .. (but that is changing slowly).. But I also missed marketplace in the ROM.. So i tried to flash again and still no marketplace?.. and the languages are changing slowly again..

How can this be?

seems like this rom's kernel still doesn't feature 3G fix introduced in v20c stock roms - any chances for this being implemented? disabling 3g is lame attempt at fixing this major issue, and missed texts/calls are not nice neither.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
I also had this 3G issue. You can simply flash the official ROM with the fix, then flash Swiftdroid, and the 3G issue is solved!

I modified the French Orange branded V20C to include fastboot, you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2nrp8tcyr6th1us

Since I did that, I never missed a single call.

Just flash this kdz, then do fastboot flash swiftdroid.

I also have this V20C with modified partition sizes (234-150-64), but that is only for SwiftDroid and other custom ROMs, so you can't use 2.1 with that.

I also posted this in a German forum, It didn't work for everybody. But as I said, it's working perfectly for me.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jedai:
this might be peurely coincidential that this method works for you, as flashing new rom overwrites all system files/kernel/boot etc so i higly doubt this will help. I am on stock 2.1 with fb and recovery at the moment, as phone features are most important for me, but I'm watching the progress of custom roms. I guess I wont be changing to any custom rom until .32 or .35 kernel gets ported ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
This is definatly no coincidence, as I tried it with the exact same SwiftDroid ROM, and not only once. And as I flashed a different kdz, the error came back, so it doesn't have to do anything with the kernel/boot.img I think. It definatly works for some people, try it.

I think when you flash a kdz there are more things changed than only boot and system partition, but if you flash SwiftDroid (via fastboot/recovery), only these two partitions are touched.

And why waiting for .32 or .35? .29 works perfectly for 2.3.4, and now Mur4ik even enabled wifi-tethering
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] LinxAndroid:
oh. yeah i had the same issue then too,

im on RC0 now and its giving me about 4days life so im fine with it. and it charges at night anyway so i dont really mind.

The GT540 does NOT have temperature sensor, so quadrant (and other system info tools are giving false info).

Sensor displayed in Quadrant: AK8973 -> maybe only battery?

http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/akm/en/product/ak8973nbs/ak8973nbs.html

There is a driver available on page - maybe the driver can be integrated in rom?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jedai:
to get proper battery measuring and working screen calibration at least ;)

also - when trying different roms, i'm upgrading from stock v20c rom, so your method should work, but it doesn't - and that's because it's kernel's fault.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
Did you try the exact ROM I mentioned? Because there are differences in the ROMs, although they are V20C. For example the Baltic V20C is way older than the French Orange V20C. Meaning not all C ROMs have the fix.

And it is working for me, so it doesn't have to do anything with SwiftDroid (or its Kernel).

Custom ringtones get overwritten?

So, the situation is: got the default ringtone set, got also particular contact ringtones.

Always at >30mb RAM.

V6 SuperCharger, WidgetLocker, LauncherPro, ExtendedControls & FullScreenCallerID installed and running.

CPU's "Ondemand" 245-768MHz.

VM Heap Size at 24.

The problem is: when the phone's locked, there's no way it'll use a contacts ringtone when receiving the call. It'll always use the default ringtone. Played with performance settings, installed the V6 script, ran out of ideas.

What's curious: if the phone's unlocked, it'll use the contact's ringtone.

Does anyone have any clues on what could be the problem source or/and have a solution to this?

Well, it sure did help a bit, ie.: the contact ringtone works sometimes now with locked phone. Not in every single case, tho.

edit: correction, unfortunately it doesn't work. The phone rang twice with the correct, contact connected ringtone and then it went straight back to the old behaviour.

Same here, i'm affraid; on M6 it worked flawlesly (after resetting the battery stats via method from the first post), held few days. Now, after switching to RC i'm forced to charge it every night. Any chance for a fix a "user" could apply, or does the whole ROM has to be looked into?
