bug: selecting symbols

Hey there appears to be a bug with the phone keyboard which i use a lot - when holding down the symbol button to the left of the abc button it will only let me use the top row

any ideas on awork around?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] liamwli:
I have a problem when updating to rc4.

I use link2sd, and when ever I have updated before, when it loads, I open link2sd and select my partition type.

When I reboot, all my apps are there.

But with the newest version, when I reboot, half the apps are missing, and I have no internal memory left.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] sligric:
I've noticed an improvement, although not tested for long, by removing the stock email app.

Will see how I get on in the next couple of days and let folk know!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Stock EMail app loads at startup and numberous events just like GMail app. If you don't use it, you can freely remove it.

Alternatively, try Autostarts(paid in market but GNU and so free to compile yourself) which can prevent apps from starting on their own based on system events. This way, you can keep the apps and have them load only when you use them.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
I want to report a bug: the Google apps can't be updated. I mean the Market and YouTube app. It tells me there's an update, but there's no update button when I click the app.

There are boot.img from rc5 on 4pda.ru, anybody try it?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I've try it :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
Me to. Just flash it. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
What are the benefits of this boot?

Is it made by you, mur4ik?

Joost
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] droid000:
@Mur4ik, what are your plans for RC5??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Well, he uploaded it so I guess so...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
i have tested the Test RC5 boot.img and i can say it is going well i have noticed that mur4ik must be adding offline charging because there is two new folders in the root dir called bootimages <LG Stock splash screen from 1.5 and 2.1> also chargerimages <Must be the stock offline charging images yet to be activated by mur4ik. also i have noticed a increase in I/O so in all its a small step forward to the perfect kernel ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
If somebody wants to test here is URL for Test_RC5 boot.img :-)

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
pRo_lama could you add mur4iks url prefix to your link to aid development ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
You think this - http://link2me.ru/go2.php?url= ???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
honestly i cant remember the prefix url lol ill have a look and send you it via pm ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Almost right I think you missed /1881 I put it infront of all enigma links if you wana copy and paste it to you're link :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
Mur4ik should get the recognized developer ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Not sure what changed in the RC5 boot.img but my neocore result is up by 10 FPS (which is nice)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Should be a http://link2me.ru/8118/ before any link.

But now thats does not matter, because it was just a try, and its does not very usefull or helpfull (50 cents in last month :))

So just forget about it and share yours direct links.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Maybe you can make free account on Fileserve, Filesonic or something other and you can earn money from each download. I think it's much more effective that this. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I have account on depositfilles, but I think people should be free from downloading ROM from any place that they want, for example from my server. About supporting project I can make some application for Market, that people can buy for donation purposes. Of course if it's comfortable for users.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Yeah, but I still think that you are doing awesome job for everyone and we have to appreciate that work. And this can be one way how to do that. Money from downloads. (DepositFile is not good choise at all, because in West this server is really slow and you have to wait for long time :) )
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] coleonyx:
Still have problems with compass and accelerometer sensor. Compass show strange behavior. The pinter of the commpass is jumping to different degrees. The accelerometer sensor freeze when i start google sky map.Thats the only reason i'm still on 2.2 :(

I'm guessing you've wiped your data and re-flashed the ROM
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
Yes I`m :)

happens to me in some roms like rc3 but not in rc4
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ChriisM:

I installed this rom, but all the google apps are in russian! how do I fix that?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Flash this in recovery.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DamDSx:
Thanks, but im having another problem, there is nothing displayed on boot, no images, no LG logo, no recovery. it all happened when I flashed euro+fast.kdz to get to 2.1. weird.

After changing the language and rebooting a few times, they seem to have changed to the default language, thank you anyway.

Something else I notices is that the sound, be it from speakers or headphones is pretty low, and the radio requires bluetooth to work? is that normal?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Volume+ and Spirit FM Radio.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] thenexor:
I also had occasional troubles with sky map: apparently accelerometer stopped working, and stayed like that also on other apps 'till I rebooted :confused:

I still haven't tested RC5.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] sligric:
Since I deleted the stock email app that's not happened to me.. Tho not sure it's helped my battery yet!

Do I need to reflash the rom to get the new boot img on??

Noob question, sorry..

If so, would I download RC4.zip, extract, replace the file, zip it back up and install via recovery?

Cheers
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
No, just flash boot.img with fastboot.

Sent using Tt.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] sligric:
Not sure how - is there a way via recovery??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] daggerxXxsin:
You can use terminal emulator. Just put the boot.img at the root of your sdcard and enter these commands:

$su

#cd /sdcard

#flash_image boot boot.img

Should say something like "writting at block.." just wait for it to stop then reboot the phone.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Look for YaffsExpert from the Market.

Choose operation restore and type boot and select the boot file. You can flash boot image without recovery or fastboot.

What is the changelog for rc5
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Mur4ik is still working on RC5, so this is not final release. The purpouse of RC5 is just for testing. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] daggerxXxsin:
I've been having problems with the battery ever since i updated to RC4. It only charges up to 99%. I've wiped battery stats multiple times. And when i use utopia rom it charges up to 100%. Anybody else encounter this?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
yes me i have got it to 100% but if i disconnect the charger it gos stright to 99% :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
On every rom i use (even stock) after unpluging from charger battery go to 99, or less. Just look battery in status.

Mu4ik is silent for quite long time now :/ i wonder how's the progress on RC5 and new Kernel.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maneshvinod:
My battery stops charging on 99%but after flashing m6boot.img its charging 100% try m6boot.img
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mhoangtr:
Battery level 100% is equivalent with battery voltage 4200mV. If battery voltage drop down to 4198 mV, battery level is 99%. So don't worry about the 99% number, your battery still charged full. Do not need flashing m6boot.img, in m6 version, battery level was faked!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Exactly. Agree with every single word :)

Sds whatever in settings, audio method
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] daggerxXxsin:
mine only goes up to 4196 :( must be my battery then :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mhoangtr:
You could try unplug and replug charger, voltage value will go up to 4200. Anyway, 4196 is still good. If you can use your phone from one to two days for a charging, don't care about that value.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
yesterday i reflashed my phone and noticed following error message:

fastboot.exe erase system

cannot erase @ 1859 (bad block?) :(

will this be the beginning of the end? :confused:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
It happened to me once. Try this: reboot your phone in fastboot mode and reconnect it to the PC. If it still shows you the error, reinstall the fastboot drivers.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
thx! next time (with rc5) i'll try your hint and reinstall fastboot, today phone's working without any problems and i'm too busy...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
My phone *always* shows two blocks, when I erase system. A few days ago i flashed a BRAND NEW GT540, and it had four such blocks, so I don't think it's a problem.:)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] quasimidi:
Hi Guys,

This is a general 'error' for GT540. Almost all of them has 2 bad block in the NAND.

Just ignore it IMHO.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] hgurbuz78:
I know but it's not good as in 2.1 roms radio

(spirit radio) its use is not good

Not as visually beautiful

Is the radio channel can not be increased in this one?

Is it normal that that wakelock time for show keyguard process is 1h, phone is on for 8h? How to reduce it?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
@Mur4ik

I always had this question, I might have asked this before. How does dalvik cache actually function in Swiftdroid. Dalvik cache for system apps in in /cache/dalvik-cache whereas dalvik cache for User apps is in /data/davik-cache. How did you do this? It's really fascinating! :cool:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] olite:
Interesting... I'm off to put this to the test. :P

Edit:

Bad blocks reported from a device that has been flashed via KDZ without a SDCard or SIM inserted. -- This was tested on a brand new phone, fresh out of the box. ( 3 bad blocks on data partition & 4 on system, sad... I was expecting 1 or 2 only. Too bad I just voided the warranty... hehe )

I also tested this on one of my spares, inserted SIM and SDCard and re-flashed it with KDZ again... trying to "create" bad block... no go, it's fine as pie. ( 0 bad blocks on any partition -- This was a surprise, and kinda rare I bet. )
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Its part of Cyanogen Mod.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
Dunno if new boot.img has to do with free ram but I can finally get >100 mb of free ram!!

Have you such a problem anyone?

Very nice, but the battery discharge to speed very quickly.

Yes, I know there is a fix for battery ...

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Does anyone know if it is safe to underclock the GT540??

i am using 2.3.5 cyan!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Safe - yes. Useful - doubt it. My phone used to be set to 245-600 ondemand, but I switched to 600 perf., and I saw *no* difference, despite the constant clock. The phone, however felt more responsive. I don't know, that's just me. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
i left it on (245 ~ 320)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
At 122MHz, it's ok. Anything below that would not be a good idea. The phone may become way too slow.

I use 245-710MHz (ondemand). I have tried 122-710MHz ondemand too. Not a lot of difference except that phone takes longer to wake up from sleep.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
The lowest u can go is 122MHz!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Not really. If you use an app that supports uncommon bands, you will be able to go lower. But, 122 is the lowest where the phone is responsive.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] hgurbuz78:
with an idea?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
If you have a favorite launcher i recommend full backup then full wipe then install rom then replace stock launcher with your fav leaving it as the only option then reboot then reboot again into recovery restore all your stuff and should be all set :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Move your launcher off the SD
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
^^ or that ^^
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
It's been a bit long time since there aren't any updates, almost a month. Any ideas about 2.6.35 kernel or has Mur4ik made any improvements in Camera in Swiftdroid?

Also, I've been reading some posts earlier that you people were talking about RC5 boot.img, which one?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
Sorry if my question is noob. Does Mur4ik's mod support usb host? if yes is there a list of devices? Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Nope, I think it's for Tablets only
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
As far as I know its completely possible but as of yet no out has not been done maybe once there is a kernel update but not before then

Also even when it becomes possible you will not be able to use more than one device without connectors adapters etc but I guess out depends on what you wish to do
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Really? I thought USB host was only for Honeycomb devices. Read this http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
Thanks. i just want to plug in a keyboard. I just ordered a BT keyboard from China's shops but I'm not sure it'll eever work. A USB keyboard though might work if the phone could support usb host.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Bluetooth and wifi keyboards would work just fine. =) In fact they are more comfortable than a USB keyboard.

Nonetheless, try to pick an Android friendly keyboard. ie a keyboard that mentions Android devices specifically.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Non of the ROMs for this phone support USB host mode as far as I know.

USB host mode is not something specific to tablets but generally, a good tablet would have official USB host mode support.

USB host mode requires both hardware and software support.

The USB controller must support USB host mode.

Further, the power from the phone battery is generally not enough to power a USB device. A USB device may use anywhere between 100-500mA at 5-5.5 V. This means even if USB host mode support is enabled on GT540, you will need an external power source that would give power.

Have a look at http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

(This is for Nexus One but it gives you an idea of the process.)

All in all, USB host mode on GT540 would be pretty useless. It's more of a because you can hack rather than an useful one.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Fully agree but it is hardware supported and powered USB hubs are wonderful inventions

Its the tech community because you can should be a good enough reason lol
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Because you can hacks become you can't afford hacks when they involve buying more stuff. =P
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
LOL guys! Thanks a lot. Great dialogue. Informing and amusing at the same time.

You know, sometimes you think of all possible capabilities, without deciding whether they're useful or not. But always it seems there is somebody or some-buddy around the globe that has tried before you.

Powered USB hubs, eh? Hmmm....
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Yeah they run of a charger similar to what you would find paired with a old Nokia and usually have about four USB Ports so keyboard mouse and maybe a game controller :)

Yeah I find it funny that you think of an idea get all excited wasn't to release it to the masses then bam its already been done its happened to me 2 3 times now
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
@Mur4ik or anyone who knows about it:

Is there's a way to modify the sizes of partitions as I wish? Mur4ik's Swiftdroid Boot loader builder supports only a preset amount of sizes and ability to modify cache partition has been removed. =(

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Maybe, maybe not. Having more internal space is convenient when installing large apps(even though they will be moved to SD).

I have around 400MB of apps in general(internal+sdext).

I also want to try native dual boot from internal memory. So, I want to try raising the size of the system partition to maximum amount as well.

Well, thanks but it needs modifying the boot loader data in KDZ which am scared to do by hand. So, first, I'd like the opinion and advice of someone who has experience with this. Or, preferably a version of Swiftdroid Boot Builder(or another software) that supports any value.
