[ROM] Velocity V0.1.1 | LG Ally | Android 2.1 | ERE27 | Stable

Is there any possible way to compile tun.ko drivers into this ROM so we can use OpenVPN?
A known issue is keeping PPTP from working correctly on the Ally so OpenVPN is my only hope for getting good VPN going on the phone.

Has anyone gotten OpenVPN working on their Ally? And if not, wouldn't it be sweet if you could?

BTW: This is a great ROM and thank you for all your work!

For anyone having the gmail sync issue I have found a solution.

Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications
Open Gmail Storage and "Clear data"
Then open Gmail and "Clear cache"

Mail should start to automatically sync to the phone again.

Let me know if it works for you!
And don't forget the thanks button :)

Thanks man, this fix worked perfectly for me, got the emails seconds later :)

Pretty sure this issue is because the dalvik cache wasnt cleared before flashing. There are 3 places you need to wipe in CLockwork Recov: Data, Cache Partition, and dalvik cache,

The dalvik is in the advanced menu

@trident I would like to see you add the spare parts that is modded by pete. It has a color picker to change the color of the clock on the notification bar very easily. I tried looking but failed.

Yeah that would be really nice =/, I would want that too because changing the color of the clock without spare parts modded requires modification of the ROM, thats a pain.

trident can you MOD the ROM and give us different colors for clock, I can do it too but I was wondering if you could somehow make it where we can chose colors, here is a tutorial on color changing you think you can build a little app or something to let us change the font color inside the app:

Pretty sure it doesn't..
In fact, I know it doesn't. I'm testing Bugless Beast 0.5 for Pete right now and the Spare Parts app included does not have that option.

Since everyone is adding all their requests in here.......i would like 2 burgers, a gold plated macbook, and some fruit. Can you make this happen in your next update? Thanks!
Shh! :mad: We don't mention those types of sub-par hardware here..

:p ;)
Oh....people.......DONATE. This stuff isnt easy! I can easily say that because i donate to developers. They give us hours of work for FREE.
But seriously guys.. that would be a HUGE motivation! I was up all night for the past week working on this ROM.. just need some expansion to the Red Bull fund. ;)

Hey guys

Just flashed this rom. Working great.

A few improvements:

You can benefit from smoother scrolling by using the windowsmgr fix and also enable jit with no ill effects

Using ADB pull your build.prop:

abd pull /system/build.prop

add this line to the end of the file:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60

This will enable smoother scrolling.

Next, find the following line to enable jit:
#dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
and uncomment it by removing the # before it

Save the file and push back to /system/build.prop

reboot and your phone should be a little more responsive

I was having some permission denied errors when pushing the build.prop back via adb, so here's what i did:
(this part is optional, if your phone pushes the build.prop fine, then don't worry about this)

adb shell
$ su
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system
# cd sdcard
# busybox cp -R build.prop /system
# mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/stl5 /system
# sync
# reboot

Enjoy :)
