Everything is working including Bluetooth. Pretty smooth so far definite speed improvement. Unsure on battery yet.

So far I've seen a very noticeable battery hit :(

Here is the latest update on the rom... soon we will be starting it's own thread once the mods are beta complete. This is email I got from the dev working on it:

Hey man, sorry it has taken me a while. I was actually in the middle of a project for updating Broken Out for the LG Revolution and have decided to do a full remodel lol. It will be a little bit longer, but will be well worth the wait, as I will be bringing some other large improvements. Just wanted to give you an update. Thanks!

Speed increase is definitely there, haven't had it long enough to notice battery effects.

One issue is the widget sizes, all of my widgets are taking up more than their allotted space. For example my 4x1 system info widget takes up 4x2 amount of screen space, the same with 4x3 widgets take up my entire screen??? The same occurs with every other widget size, they all take up larger portions of space. I've tried changing the numbers of desktop rows which kind of works because it only makes room for the smaller widget sizes, but generally most widgets are still distorted.

Sorry for the widget rant haha the ROM seems flawless else wise, I just enjoy my widgets and I know its still in beta. Thanks guys!

Not sure why you are having widget issues. All my widgets work just fine. My 4x2 Beautiful Widgets Superclock only takes up 4x2 ... i can still put two rows of icons below it... Pretty sure it's an isolated issue with you and your widgets ... maybe re-flash and try again and see if the issue persists... try it first thing before you install or change anything to check if its the rom or you

Tried wiping and re-flashing and it still happens with the widgets. No idea why is pretty frustrating. When I do a wipe data/factor reset I do get an error of sorts, not sure if its related, here is the series it goes through:

Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E: Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.

I don't know what the "failed" message means but any help would be appreciated.

I looked up your error message, E: Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Someone on XDA said that it was because there wasn't an external SD card in place. Which sounds logical with the Lucid since it doesn't come with an external SD.

[Q] Wipe data Error (E:format volume failed on dev/block/mmcblk1p2) Help - xda-developers

actually its a bit more than that, mmcblk0p1 used to be the standard for sdcards, now that phones have virtual partitions mmcblk1p1 has taken the standard, mmcblk1p2 is for if you partition your sdcard, basically to use dark tremors apps2sd which requires ext4 formatted sdcard

Work has all ready begun on this. Myself and the creator of that rom are hard at work and we all ready have a working beta. Currently he is working on the mods and we should have the next beta out in a few days.

Hey guys, just thought I would stop in here and let you know where things are. In all honesty, they are in about the same place lol. I have been EXTREMELY busy. I leave for work at 6:30 in the morning Mon-Sat and get off at 5:30. After that, my 2 daughters play softball, and between the 2 I am at the ball fields for 5 hours on Saturdays, then until 8:30 Mon, Tues, and Thurs. After that I teach a 5th and 6th grade Bible class on Wed. nights. Then of course there is the church service on Sunday morning and Sunday night lol.

With that being said, I will be pushing to get this done for you guys as soon as possible, an occasional rain out would be nice, but no, it only rains on Sundays here lol. Thanks guys for the understanding!!!

Can't argue with that schedule, I have a softball double header tonight but certainly doesn't compete with your time frames ha. No worries, its great we have at least some people working on the Lucid for us users.

Just got the second beta. He tried removing setup wizard but ended up breaking usb connectivity lol. Plus we have to basically start over because of the new OTA update. As we speak I'm flashing back to stock, root, and pulling a new nandroid backup for him so he can rebuild the rom with new updates. I think we really should start a new thread for this with proper title lol

Just curious if any progress was made, if not no worries.
