Installed this on a friend's GT540 and I must say I'm quite jealous at the moment.

I have a $600 Motorola Atrix 4G ($1000 here in Australia) but you guys with your $99 LG GT540 have more power over what you can do with your devices.

The rom is quick, snappy, responsive and quite frankly in most cases faster than my dual core atrix.. (probably just feels it because of my bloatware from blur) I have installed this ROM on 2 phones (both for friends) and am still satisfied. Keep up the good work!

I've started a thread for discussion of bugs glitches and performance for m5 in general forum :) hopefully we can list all bugs and have m5 running at its best also any useful apps or tweaks etc would be good
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gimpl:
Same Problem. :(

But, this Rom is very fast and smooth.

Thanks for your hard work, Mur4ik.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
don't forget guys the modified battery driver is still in the testing phase so that we all can get as mush out of the battery as we should, Mur4ik has and is going in the right direction regarding the battery driver. to cut a long story short i think we are a few updates away from having a perfect driver for the battery ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
Yup, at 10 percent, it's just die. No warning, even with no shutting down phone pop up. But the battery last longer. With same heavy usage, in 9 hours, i still have 35 %, while previous version, with same usage, died in 7 hours.

And it faster. Noticeably when backup and restore something (apps with titanium backup, sms, user dictionary,etc)

the volume is lower than m4, I need to increase one point of all sound via audio manager

That's all I can report, it's really a good rom. Thanks Mur4ik, and that's a lot. :)

As I said before, I/O performance was improved (doubled in Quadrant). This is why. I don't how Mur4ik did it, but it's great.

Don't know man, just wanted to throw it out there, in case someone knows why.

I tried 3 times to update via recovery but it says: “assert failed: write_raw_image(“tmp/boot.img”, “boot”) E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip(Status 7). Instalation aborted.

After this I rebooted my phone. I found new update & phone is working good.

Tell me i am missing something due boot image error.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
I had the same problem with the first release of M5 so I did it with fastboot instead.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] rajhan9412:
What is meaning of first release?

What should i do if phone is working fine.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gizmo001i:
As far as the aborted installation is concerned and the fact that it still seems to have installed the update. This is what I was told and what I did to correct it. Hope this helps.

What happens is that it installs system.img but not boot.img, so you can install it through recovery but after you've done that you'll still have the old boot.img so boot into fastboot, then erase boot and flash the new one

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Help! The phone freezes (hangs) often. I mean in M4, the chances of phone freezing were not much. But in M5, it freezes a lot.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
It was released and then usb was fixed and so a second M5 was released...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
Could someone upload the new boot.img only. I've already flashed the recovery version and got error. System is installed but need to flash boot.img and download the whole fastboot version only for that is crazy. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
just extract the boot.img from the update.zip thats what i did ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
Ok thnks, I'll try that. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
It worked.... I had no pc with me so I extracted it on the phone itself and used yaffsexpert to flash the boot.img and rebooted. now its better, faster and gained 25% battery more compared to before the flashing. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Eth4n:
No problem here with LauncherPro and 122/806mhz. Did you overclock your phone?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] rajhan9412:
Pl give step by step tutorial through yaffsexpert.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
Its rather intuitive : from first dropdown choose restore, then choose boot from second dropdown, then browse for the boot.img and push the operation button. And when the message apears, just reboot phone. ;-)?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
@eoghan: is there a way to solve the shutdown at 10%?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
not yet mur4ik is the guy for that because its a kernel bug so we will have to wait for the next release. you can try juice defender and set it to aggresive mode to save battery.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mastaowen:
Ok thanks, waiting for it.. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] revan17:
Who lets their battery reach 10% anyway? :p

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mateusz344:
When I was using Mur4ik roms, I allways had problem with memory card (SD card unexpectedly removed). Is there any way to fix it? I never had this problem in 2.1 by miroslav_mm and vanila. Now I'm using 2.1 because android without working SD is useless.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
that's weird, after finishing the update to this ROM on my computer, I copied stuff to the SD card of the phone via USB storage then gave the phone back to my friend.

Now she's saying that when she plugs the phone in via USB to her laptop, it doesn't come up with any message asking if she wants to activate USB Storage

What are we doing wrong?!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
I had that problem just yesterday, but it dissapeared after a reboot. I think the phone overheated, because it was in my shirt's pocket and sun was shining on my chest while driving for an hour or so. But I have another problem. My phone gets stuck on a blank black screen with no backlight on it or on the keys. Before that I just lock it up like I always do, but when I want to use it again it wouldn't wake up or reacto to ANYTHING at all. Then, I have to remove the battery and power it on again. The phone is not overclocked. It happened before with some previous versions of SwiftDroid, but never on Quarx Black 2.1 rom or stock rom... Anyone has similar problem or a solution to it?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
I got this problem once (in the 4 hours that I had the phone before giving it back to its owner after updating it to this ROM) when it was plugged into charger.

I get that too, but only if I'm using a shortcut to toggle wifi. If I go to settings>wireless & networks>wi-fi settings and press enable wifi from there, the obtaining IP address completes succesfuly.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Vuco:
I get that on some ROMs, 2.1 and 2.3 both. Mur4ik's ROM-s have been without that problem, but Joe.stones 2.3.2 and some 2.1 ROMs are causing my SD to unmount. It's not connected to the heat, since I get that over the night or during day. 1-2 times in a day lets say to be exact.

Try formating the SD card (with backuping your folders before). Somewhere I heard that deleting .Android Secure (or what ever the name of the folder) can help if you have problems on a new ROM.

Same here, installed udevd-rules-android in arch an added those for gt540 and did the fastboot way, seems to work pretty well, _much_ better then M4 :)

Thank's Mur4ai :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mitalca:
Are you using the M5 fixed version?

The fix is all about USB Mass Storage, so I'd give it a try
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] edy4sure:
This has been a bug that has been there since Mur4ik first created this ROM. I hope now that battery problems have been solved that, he will face this and possibly reach a solution
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] verrox:
I must say wow for this, my battery life was realy a mess in all of the previous versions, but now i had it at 75 at 10am, and now 1.20 am its at 50 :D

I cant belive how addicted i was to finding that god damn charger all of the time untill recently :)

ya, i got same problem. with host non secured --> can connect.

with host secured by WPA or sth elese ---> can not connect, even i set right key
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gizmo001i:
Well so far battery wise, I have lasted 2 days, 11 hours and 2 minutes and I am still at 50%. That is with a few phonecalls, watching a few videos, web surfing and using the phone to read a book. Much much better than the other ROMS. Thanks MUR4IK, this is a great improvement on the battery:)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lavero.burgos:
Yeap I got that in the second day of use. I had to wipe data to make it work again
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
The battery is great in this version!It lasted for about 3 days with intensive use and gameplay!It was overclocked @806mhz.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] j41:
Hey all just a quick question.

Whenever my battery dies (screen's gone black), and I put it back into the charger and the phone starts up the battery suddenly jumpes to 35% and reaches 50% almost after 10 minutes...I've already wiped my battery stats TWICE and this keeps happening, anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I'd appreciate the help, Right now I can just get the battery to last about 30hours with some mild music playing.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
I would say that's normal.

The battery percentage isn't always correct while connected to the charger though. If you plug it in and after a minute it says 40% (just an example), and then unplug, the battery might go down to 20%.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] j41:
This still doesn't solve my 30hour battery life problem though.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Guys that are having problems with wireless networks

Ok first off what kind of router you using? I find best performance is on g series and never logs me out secured to :) maybe its you're router???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
As for batteries we can't expect to much simple truth is the battery industry needs to catch up with the silicon boys
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
30 hours isn't THAT bad. It could be worse.

Try this: charge the phone until it's at 99%/100%. Then unplug the charger and plug it back in right away and let it charge again for a while. I read that that solves some people's problems, worth a try.

Didnt work. I dont why this happend :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
odd. did it work with older builds?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] com975:
I didnt have any older. I used to use 2.1 Offical Rom and it worked on that. And then i upgraded to 2.3.4 it didnt work and i also tried Joestones clean android same thing :confused:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
The problem is still with the router probably (and the way wifi works in 2.3.4). You should try to change the channel or protocol (b/g). Or is this happening with every router you're near? I think not.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] com975:
I used to find 12-15 routers now i only find 2 and they are far away and i was used not to find these well it is on channel 13 or so and n/g/b
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
Now I'm getting jealous. Please put ur battery use and graph, I really want to know. And, did it on 3G or 2G or wifi?

3 days and u said with intensive use... I wonder if I have damaged battery.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] he6rt6gr6m:
This is also the case for me, however it is infrequent so I can live with it.

Still no ideas on the hands free problem I detailed a few pages back?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gizmo001i:
I can't post my graph up now as my phone has now finally died on me (ie battery needs charging). But my battery lasted me just over 3 days with normal use. That is: a few phonecalls, internet access using wifi and 3G, Using the alarm and also using the phone to read an ebook on a regular basis, plus watching a few of short videos.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mimm.m:
i'm sorry for my noob question, but i have to ask this:

i wanted to restore my apps via my backup root, but after one app it stopps ...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
it happens to me also, somewhere along the builds it stopped working. don't know why. i restore them manually. you can find the my backup folder on the sd card, install the apps manualy (via apk) and then restore just data with my backup.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] SrkeeOSK:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

i dont know what is that hole on the start, but anyway...

This is M5, after calibration...

i work 8 hour shifts so every day for 8 hours its on pure standby, only 10-15 sms...

at other time i use it normally, lots of SMS, very few calls, let's say 1 or two for a day, some gaming, every day around 30 mins wifi tether and so...

it stays on 50% for almost a day and a half and then in 6-7 hours drops to 20%, that's when i took the screenshot.

3 days 10 hours is my average.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mimm.m:
1. wow ....

2. @mirecea .... thx

3. it is normal that the phone shows me "Roaming" but i cant do that from my provider ( Hutchison 3G Austria) .... can i delete this bug?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
I was on a school trip for 2 days and I played games and listened to music a lot. I also used WiFi in the hotel(watched videos on YouTube). I also made some phonecalls.I removed it from charge the day before we had gone. I must say I'm really impressed of this rom.Now it has been 1 day and 6 hours and I have 55% battery life with moderate to intensive use(playing games, watching videos, surfing the web etc.). The up time is also great. I haven't calibrated the battery yet.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
I think the built-in hotsport function is not supported by our kernel. But you can use "Barnacle wifi tether" from market. Works great for tethering notebooks and such.

Which theme ? :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Jamielawther:
I LOVE your typo of wifi , it makes it 'Wife Hotspot' LOLOL

Anyway , Nope as above , it's not supported :(

And A few posts back someone mentioned Roaming on Three Austria , If you haven't got a 3G Signal , *MOST* international Three networks use another 2g network for backup. If you've came straight from 2.1 you won't notice this at all , as 2.1 will have been set up to show that it is not roaming when it is indeed roaming. It is the same for me on 3 UK. You could try enabling the two ticks for data roaming, as this makes mine go away :) But if you can pick up reception from another country , I would NOT reccommend this as you could be charged for this :L
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mimm.m:
yes, i noticed the other network after flashing to 2.2 ....

but know i saw roming and asked myself why .... but know I'm fine, and i can't do ROAMING because i turned it off ...

When I go into settings and about phone the version say 2.3.4 but I am fairly sure I downloaded 2.3.5 from one of the mirrors. I can tell you it has the GO Home screens so I think it is Murik's latest version. Anyone confirm?

As an aside this version has finally solved my battery issues. Best battery life I have had since 2.1 - maybe even better than that.

Stable at 900 MHz too.....

Just a pity that as my phone finally got stable my Chrome browser has started having a fit on my PC - now using Explorer 8. 8-(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
It's probably 2.3.4 because 2.3.5 doesn't even exist.

Bug Report:

Bug Report:

The launcher often crashes. This was not experienced in the M4 build.

I use the "stock" launcher and not GO launcher, because the GO launcher is slower and has some lag when accessing the app menu. While using the stock laucher, it crashes sometimes when I try to drag a icon from the app menu to the "desktop." Once it crashes, it will restart 3-4 times before stable again. It also sometimes (once every other day) crashes when sliding between screens on the main page.

GO SMS Pro has a bug when loading contacts.

I think this is a problem with the pre-installed copy of GO SMS Pro, not with M5. When accessing the contact list through GO SMS Pro, it gets stuck loading the contact list, and never finishes. Uninstalling GO SMS Pro with root explorer, and reinstalling GO SMS Pro with my copy of the apk fixes the problem.

Awesome job Mur4ik!!! I love SwiftDroid!!! What did you do to increase the IO speed? I was getting ready to find a way to increase it myself, and then M5 had it. Great!!!
