I forgot to set the drop down background on the notification but you can use the peeping android in the settings.

I just started using the BACKside rom for my optimus v. Also I am using the greenMachine theme. As soon as i rebooted my phone the vibration stopped working with recieving texts. It works with phone calls though. Ive changed many setting and looked around for awhile. I was just wondering if anyone had this problem and had a quick fix. Would be much appreaciated if anyone can help in anyway. Thanks

Are you using an app or built in

 

[JerryScript]

Need some help pre-testing current builds before I release the next one. I'm working on the headset issues, button and mic. I seem to have the button issues completely fixed, and the mic is working fine with the stock LGE headset, but still buggy with non-mic headsets, have to choose speaker phone for those.

Please test the following on a current build using stock LGE headset:

1. Plug in headset - status bar icon appears, media volume appears
2. Press headset button - Music starts, press again for music stop
3. Double-Press headset button (music playing)- Music skips to next selection
4. Long press headset button (music playing) - Music app opens on phone
5. Press headset button (phone ringing) - Answers call
6. Press headset button (during call) - Mutes and unmutes mic
7. Long press headset button (during call) - Ends call
8. Unplug headset - status bar icon goes away

I believe that is all the behaviors expected, please test and post results.

The headset mic should work with the stock LGE headset. With a non-mic headset, only the speaker phone works (trying to get hands-free working right).

Please let me know if the above behavior works on current builds using various devices (stock LGE headset, non-mic headset, hands-free devices, etc). Please post which headset you tested with.

Thanks to anyone with the time to test.

Do you mean head phones when you say non mic headset? If so the icon shows, volume appears and even you disconnect icon goes away and volume shows again. Tried on 4 different headphones. That's just what I've seen on a day to day basis.

The ear headset that comes with a phone and has a button does have a mic, it's on the back of the button box.

Skullcandy Ink'd with mic, all eight working.

To early to call, but the rest of the options work great with my single earpiece headset. You are off the chain JerryScript!

Anyway of making it open google music? I just uploaded all my music there.

 

[nitestalkr]

Skull candy headphones, with buttons, but no mic, all work
will try my Sony headphones with secondary volume wheel and no mic.

Oh, and location settings (GPS and location over wireless) do not stick after selecting and leaving the sub menu.

Sony headphones work just like any other non mic non button headphones, but must use speaker phone during call, no audio through head phones while on speaker phone, and while not on speaker phone, you can hear audio through headphones, but you can't speak using phone mic.

Try clearing defaults on the stock music app, then open the new Google Music. I imagine it's based on which is the default music app.

HURRAY FOR BEING ABLE TO CHARGE WHILE POWERED OFF!!! FINALLY!!!

 

[Jerru]

It worked. Thank you very much.

I checked that first and there were no defaults set.

 

[norwoodsteel]

I checked that first and there were no defaults set.

i could be wrong but since the new google music app came out i always uninstall the stock music app

 

[nitestalkr]

It could be that the Google music app isn't considered a music player, but instead a service. So there would be no defaults to set. I could be wrong though.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your quick reply. I really like the Backside ROM, but for now I will have to try something else. I see there is only a couple other ROMs not based on IHO like BobZhome's CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ and Leslie Ann's Harmonia v.2.03. The gapps I used with the Backside ROM, will it work on Harmonia or is there one just for it like CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ uses gapps-gb-20110613-BobZhome-v2? Or are both compatable with the gapps I used with Backside?
I know you are real busy, but is there some way you can let me know when the mic issue is fixed? I tried CM7.2.0 RC0-BobZ before getting Backside to work and just didn't care for the interface.
Also, how do you add your own ring tones in Backside or others?
Thanks,
Gerald

All gb(in file name) Gapps are compatible with IHO rom's. My "gapps-gb-20110613-BobZhome-v2" is the old style(non windows looking) market locked in(it won't update). I didn't like the google books, so I removed it and made v2.

Just to clarify so I know I'm understanding correctly... if I flash your Gapps on Jerry's IHO, I can have the old green Market back? If so, I can go into recovery and make a backup, then flash your Gapps and that's it?

Here it is gm blue, changed the boot animation to show blue and green particles as a knod to green machine

gm blue.zip

Thanks!
I wiped files and dalvik before flashing, it seemed to install just fine. I noticed that I don't seem to get a battery level indicator, should I re-wipe and flash or is there a simple fix?

Yes, it is the old green market
It may update if you flash it over a new Gapps, since the new Gapps has installed the updater.

Make sure you don't have a special setting for the battery display under your cyogenmod settings. You should have the same as in the screen shot
