Where's joost when you need him to update the start post! =O
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
i have just pm'ed him with what to be added when he gets back so all he need to do is copy and past it into the start post ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Ok cool. You prob need to reupdate it a few more times by the time he finally gets back. :p
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
haha he should be back by the end of the week ;)

Hello all,

for those like me having troubles with remainig russian texts even after fastboot -w (before+after) I would just like to say that those texts disappeared after a theme change (change done with th integrated theme chooser)

Don't ask why , I don't know (but others may;-)

As I m posting I will say

thanks to fishears for its always usefuls post/downloads,

bravo to Joost persevering in its fight for keeping the post clean,

And of course GG to mur4ik for such an update (that works really good on my french GT540)

Regards

J_9
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Dr.Alani:
The texts are reloaded when u change the theme. Rebooting has the same effect.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] J_9:
Thanks for the explication

but my reboot didn't have this effect !!(?) :confused:

(anyway, not really important)

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] aerospacemango:
Am looking forward to having a spare hour or so, to install 1.5 this evening.

However, here's a strange battery related thing for you all to mull over.

Last night, on the way home from work, I had my phone on the in-car charger....As I plugged it in, I noticed that the battery was at 45%.

Oh good, I thought, it should get to about 80-80% by the time I get home.

As I was driving along, I saw it go up to 50%....then drop down to 40%.....then go to 45%.....then drop to 35%.....then back to 45%, and on and on and on, like this, all the way home.

Strange, but true!!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
OK - took the plunge and installed V1.5 to replace my totally reliable 2.1 Black ROM.

So far - so good- but this memory management thing is a PITA after the app2sd implementation with the EXT2 partition.

I've installed a program that is supposed to help in this regard - App 2 SD free. It seems to work OK - but I get occasional failed to move messages the first time that then work with a second go.

Right now I am running with the "Lock home in memory" option selected. This seems to help performance greatly.

Touch wood - no FC's yet.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] SrkeeOSK:
took it off the charger at 5 am today, just dropped to 80 right now. that's niiice :D

only thing I did yesterday, is that I repeteadly hooked it on & off charger, cuz I watched some youtube, and finally left it on charger overnight. dunno if that helped but I like it.

I like it like that :d
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EoinSheehy:
Despite being able to search for networks, I can't connect to any specific networks.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
I don't know why but I feel that 1.5 is a lot slower and the Apps are all laggy and don't run smoothly and my accelometer is also not accurate

Any one have the same problems Or is it me?

I installed via torrent and flashed via fastboot
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
download cache cleaner ng and advanced task killer it will speed up the system
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
I don't agree. I think this release is a big step forward. Very happy, thank you Mr Mur4ik
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
Unfortunately, I encountered two more problems...

First one, GPS suddenly refusing to work. GPS icon occasionaly flashes in the status bar and location cannot be fixed. GPS Test app reports 0 satellites found (waited for an hour). One little thing I noticed right after i flashed 1.5 - when testing GPS it would show only 8 satellites being used (in GPS Test) and changing satellites and all, but the number of active ones stayed 8. Before, with OpenSwift 4.4 and SwiftDroid 1.4 it would go to 11 and in 15 secs tops!

Second problem I noticed is that Power prompt at reboot cannot boot to Recovery or Bootloader, just boots normally. If u guys remember, the same problem was in OpenSwift 4.4.

Cicko
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] desmail:
I installed 1.5 with fastboot did recognize the card and formatting it with recovery. GPS works well (I use Sygic aura) that only the icon in the statusbar is gone but only after reboot. restart everything from the menu (bootloader and recovery). the battery seems to have the same problems as before. installed on a theme chooser, honeycomb zdune. thanks mur4ik and zdunex25. great job.:)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Reboot working here with clockwork 3.0.1.4
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] verandi:
BUG#1: Gps Icon.

As said by some other users, the Gps Icon is never dismissed from the notification bar.

BUG#2: Accelerometer.

It's laggy.

I'm developing an application that uses accelerometer, and, seeing a strange behavior, I tried to output the values from the accelerometer. The values come out laggy, that is: values come out for a certain amount of time, then stop for another amount, and then they come out again.

You can test this laggy behavior downloading paper plane free from the market.

:)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
Same here...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] edy4sure:
BUG#1: I had the same problem after using my satnav, but after a reboot, the icon disappeared.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
I got them to work, both the GPS and reboot to recovery by doing a factory reset from recovery.

Has anyone noticed that the GPS icon in notification bar is not animated anymore? It does not show itself while trying to lock on, then when the lock is achieved it just shows up.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
mur4ik will recalibrating the accelometer fix it or is it a software problem?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
I don't have any problems with 1.5. It's really really fast and my battery lasts way longer. Thanks again Mur4ik!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
One suggestion...

To enhance graphics performance, disable surface dithering in CyanogenMod settings, Performance.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
Batterylasts longer I agree but try playing some motion gamesbu will see that the accellometer is not acurate
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I do not think so. Now in 1.5 used a original LG sensors libs, you can try to revert back system/lib/hw/sensors.swift.so from 1.4b or 1.3 (do not remember in which the modified ver). If this not help, then problem in 2.3.3 updates and we should find or write a new drivers for axelerometer and compass, that be compatible with new adnroid.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
As for GPS icon bug, some new information.

With GPS disabled in location settings the icon stays on in notification bar, but when i start IGO navigation it "thinks" that GPS is turned on and awaits a fix. In previous firmware versions it would show that the GPS is disabled.

Murchik, is there a possibility for a fix for GPS bug please?

I know it's not a critical bug, but it would be nice not to reboot just to remove GPS indicator from notification bar...

Thanks in advance!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
Hello.. thx for the update, works very well.

I don't have GPS icon problem, when it's on, the icon will on, when it's off, it'll off.

N for accelerometer, it's working well. I've tried my paper plane 2 and done drinking, both are working fine. I even get my own new record for done drinking.

Dunno if it'll help but here's what I do in fastboot:

Fastboot -w

Fastboot erase system

Fastboot erase boot

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that install titanium backup to restore user apps, use my backup pro to restore settings, then it'll fully work.

For now my only problem is the battery (I can live with that) and the only way to fix my other problems is to upgrade to more powerful phone.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Hi people what does the file init.goldfish.rc do?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ultrajv:
mms

mms picture messaging not working. Tried every combination of APN mms settings for orange uk, no go. Went back to stock 2.1 - works without setting anything up.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] echo123:
alexuta79410: read topic about 2.2.1 by Quarx, in the first post u can find manual
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
Okay been testing for about an hour and a half now and I think it's fair to say that this is at a similar stage to the 2.2.1 quarx ROM. A little behind, but just a little, so I don't see much point in me returning to 2.2.1 since this is, amazing! I'll do a quadrant at stock 600 mhz and let you all know my results.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
joost, it's called "SwiftDroid", not "DroidSwift" ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
;) fixed

Is there some with a recovery backup of droidswift ( ;p ) for me?

Joost
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
New system with camera camcoder fixes available.

http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/5399957001/system_v1.1.img.7z
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
Mur4ik, what do you think about this as the official cm7 treath and that someone else makes a official clean android topic?

Joost
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
The Russians already uploaded it:

Recovery backup

RU:http://ifolder.ru/21823652

UA:http://fileshare.in.ua/4119552

(taken from here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=214782 But I didn't test it, should be working though, as it's kind of the official thread about SwiftDroid)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
SwiftDroid working very well. Looking forward to screen rotation being added...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
As I understand screen rotation is added, but it must be activated after every reboot. Do do so open terminal (on phone) and type:

su
akmd2

Of course, after typing su press enter and accept superuser request.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
This method works (: Thanks mate.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
anyway done some testing and 3D still doesn't work properly. Quadrant benchmark wasn't showing any of the 3D stages EXCEPT for the DNA strands at the end. Not too sure why.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Incopatible with 2.3. Try use GLBenchmark.

Here is update http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/5405910001/SwiftDroid_v1.2_public.zip

with working sensors and camera video recording.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Your work with this ROM is fantastic so far, I can't believe this is at alpha stage.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Hey so in v1.1...everything works except for FM-Radio and Auto-Rotate? Am I correct?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I think yes, in 1.2 all works exept FM and divx/xvid codecs.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
OK cool. Is the v1.2 link in the startpost. I only saw v1.1.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
and memory card wont mount
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
SD won't be recognised. I don't understand this, is it being recognised on your V1.2?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Oh. SD won't work. Damn. Have to wait for next release until that gets fixed. SD Card is pretty important.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
I need to correct myself about the GPS bug... It's only the icon, GPS is turned off definitely. So it's just a cosmetic bug, nothing more. I just didn't hear that lady telling me that the GPS is off when i start IGO, but in the map display it states that the GPS receiver is off and so does the GPS Test app.

I don't use MMS messaging at all, so I cannot confirm that bug. I might try to test it though.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Found a bug #3: When screen is locked, you can still hold Power button and phone options menu will pop-up!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] AntonJrL:
I think that isn't really a bug, probs suppost to be there :p , also, how do you guys get such a high fps? Neocore hates my phone, I get around 33-34 fps, 2gb sd :mad: .

EDIT: also what are the best settings for overclocking? Including min and max.

ED2: 60 FPS after rebootzors, :D, 48-50% increas-age.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] edy4sure:
More bugs:

1. When using an app, if you press the home button nothing happens. Isn't it supposed to take you back to the home screen?

2. Camera zoom works but if you take a picture it shows normal instead of zoomed.

3. After applying Mur4ik's fix 4 camera button - it still doesn't work.

4. Pressing the back button while making a call will cut off the call being made. Wasn't like that in 1.4
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] AntonJrL:
Sorry, but I just wana make some comments about the bugs,

1. The camera button might be stuck.

4. You sure? Works for me.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MegaBubbletea:
Umm. No. You're not supposed to access the phone options menu when ur screen is locked! This happens on stock 1.6 and stock 2.1 as well as OpenSwift. YOu are not supposed to open up the menu when the screen is locked!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
A fix for laggy accelerometer data output!!!

I did what Murchik suggested and copied sensors.swift.so library file to my phone (/system/lib/hw) and rebooted. After that, accelerometer works with no lag whatsoever!

Again, thanks Murchik!

And for people who are lazy to unyaffs system.img:

library from SwiftDroid 1.4b
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
hey can u tell it in a bit more detail im a noob when it comes to replacing system iles NEVER UNDERSTOOD it plz help

another bug

Hi Guys,

I would like to thank the members on this forum for their newbie guides on flashing to Froyo - very helpful

Anyway, I have a problem with the touch screen. After a lot of searching around; my understanding is screen calibration isn't possible/provided with CM? A lot of users have used a keyboard calibrator to fix their issues. I've installed Smart Keyboard Trial and calibrated it - this has fixed some issues with the keyboard. My problem is with the general usage of the phone - the screen is about 5mm out of alignment on the top and bottom though fine in the center. Pointer location reports that the Y axis is at -25 when i touch the top of the screen - i guess the phone thinks 0 is the top of the screen.

Are there any work arounds or solutions that i've missed?

Thanks

bug 3

i used titanium backup to restore system data and my phones gone nuts
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:

Right then.........

I've got a boot loop going on!

My phone reboots from the Sim card lock screen....

Any one got any ideas?

***It started this morning, so I re-flashed the 1.5 build.....All seemed to be going well, but then 20 mins ago, it just got stuck in the loop!***

**** And it doesn't switch off....just goes back to the beginning of the Cyanogenmod screen****
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] agungsp2000:
Hi, I dont know if this been reported before I posted it here yutubdotkom/watch?v=HLZKPEBVCsw this is random but it occured, after power button pressed to set my phone to standby, and I try to wake it up, and the display shown something like terminal view with I dont know what... any solution?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maxgreece:
OK - weird effect with the new version of recovery.

On my card was the directory /scdard/clockworkmod/backup.

Clockworkmod did not see it. ES file explorer saw the clockwordmod directory but not the backup sub-directory. It did see a download directory.

When I Accessed the card from the computer however - it saw the directory structure as above but not the download directory.

In the end I copied the directory onto my computer's hard drive and then deleted it from the card.

According to ES file explorer the clockwordmod directory had disappeared. I then booted into recovery mode and ran a backup.

Now everything sees the backup directory and I copied back the underlying backup files from the computer.

I have no idea what caused that situation but it appears to be fixed now - If anyone else has the same problem.

One further note - as I was coming from 2.1 I had the Ext2 partition. The phone would not recognize the card so I chose the Erase SD card option (having a full backup) under storage settings. the card is now recognized - but going back to 2.1 will now be a little more difficult.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mhoangtr:
Help me, APNs in Mobile network settings is empty, seem configs are hidden. I cannot create new APN.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] meddistar:
Now my sensors aren't working.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] agungsp2000:
Now I get it consistently, to create error, activate camera, press power button to set it stand by, and press home button... it change to terminal display... anyone else experiencing the same?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
@meddistar

You must check the file permissions. They must be rw-r--r--. I'm sure that permissions are not as I said.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
It is not a fake, it is the official LG Calibration Tool from 2.1

The screen can not be calibrated on SwiftDroid though. I don't remember posting it as an app for SwiftDroid anyway...

Hello all

I m really sorry to disturb with that question, but ... I remember I had various options in the power off menu with the reboot to recovery, reboot to download mode ... and now I don't see them anymore.

I now have plane mode, choose profile ...

So, do you know wtf I modified that I shouldn't have ???

(bonus question, do you know if there's a way to change the dock shortcuts ?)

Regards

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] aerospacemango:
Pretty sure that when you press "reboot" it gives you the opportunity to go to recovery/reboot/bootloader
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] J_9:
:(:(:(:(

The shame is on me

BUT thanks :D:D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
same here once i reboot it stopped working :(

someone can u make a file with the camera and sensor fixed and post it?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
Even with the fix, the sensors aren't working as they are supposed to. Please fix this, it's important.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
i agree with u
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
This build won't recognize my SD card. :( Any fixes?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ammarcool12:
if u have an ext2 partition or somthing similar it wont recognise it
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
I tried to solve the sensors problem, but with no luck. Although, I got them working better than before, but not as they should. Download the attachment, extract it and replace the sensors.swift.so and sensors.goldfish.so in /system/lib/hw/ folder. Then, set the permissions to rw-r-r to both of the files. Finally, restart the system, and your sensors should be working better.

_______________________________________

By the way, I think the main problem is with the ROM itself.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] meddistar:
Thanks now it works normaly with CPU@806mhz and swapper with 250mb
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
Does swapper shorten your SD card's battery life?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] TheLostSwede:
Try pressing the menu button and add a new APN ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] TheLostSwede:
Ok, turns out battery life is just fine, it seems to be more of a problem with the actual readout than the battery life itself. It's just confusing and a bit freaky...

Anyhow, I'm having an interesting bug to report, every time I restart my phone I get an email from Google telling me to register my Nexus S, any chance there's a fix for this?

Cheers
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EoinSheehy:
Can I just say that is the most interesting bug I've heard about in a long time, but of course I've no idea how to resolve it.

For the peaple that don't want the "useless" app of the mur4ik there is the same rom without androidify, books, facebook, geniewidget, maps, miui music, rom manager, stardroid and twitter.

install with fastboot:
