Root [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

[AndyOpie150]

I actually bought a used V as a backup for when this finally dies (if ever). I'm not going to buy a 4G phone until I can have true 4G LTE in my area with a plan I can afford. I figure I have another two years at the least.

My issue isn't with how fast games are running (I can drudge through the bits of lag, its not that bad) or the screen freezing. Its with touching the screen in two places at the same time. I've read about the touch screen CPU spikes, where every time you touch the screen the CPU jumps to 100%. Which would make sense to why when I'm playing games the button pad (on the right side of my screen) hits the corresponding button I'm holding down on the directional pad (on the left side of my screen) and visa versa. Thus making most games, especially games that require jumping in certain directions and hitting two buttons at the same time almost impossible to play.

 

[AndyOpie150]

Performance governor, when playing game go up to 600MHz on the min (back down when thru). That should help with the lag.
Again: Try a kernel and see if it helps.
Just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache. If it doesn't help, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache and flash another.

I'm Done!

I did a lot of research after the ZV9 debacle, and found that Bobzhome's and mgr666's kernels had the best performance for gaming. I currently use my own kernel built from Bob's source, running at 480/806 on the savagedZen governor. I don't get the multi-touch cpu spikes.

05022012 was the last build. JerryScript no longer supports this ROM because he has moved on to another phone and is spending all his free time (he still has a family too) developing ROMs for it.
Right now the best ROM for our phone is the MiRaGe ROM.
Use the ZenGarden recovery to flash it.
All info is in the All Things Root Guide sticky.
If you need help with anything just PM me.

Where is Jerry now?

 

[AndyOpie150]

Try the Optimus Elite forums or just shoot him a pm and ask.

LG Optimus V. BACKside ROM. I don't know wth happened, but it has become pretty worthless. Upon boot, it says "formatting", etc. (I can't recall it exactly, for if I reboot I'm stuck.) It then begins the initial setup, the "touch the Android to begin" screen. About 9 times out of 10 I can go no further, it crashes, beginning setup again. So at this very moment it's up and running, which brings a whole new problem - it won't mount the SD card. When I choose "Mount SD Card", it immediately says "SD Card safe to remove". When I attempt to reboot into recovery mode, the usual recovery menu isn't there. There is nothing to select, it just says "formatting", and starts the whole process over again. If I could mount the SD card, I could put the ROM and recovery on there and repair. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I've been stuck like this for a month. And it's the wife's phone, so that compounds the matter. Thanks for your time.

Which recovery did you install?
If you have the android sdk on your C: drive connect the phone to your computer, open a command prompt and type in:

adb devices

If you get your phones s/n then we can proceed with installing a new recovery and ROM the easy way.
If you don't have the SDK the go here: https://app.box.com/s/stqwz15yr4qgmcrj257h
Put on C: drive and unzip. Read the readme.txt.

 

[fieryfennix]

Yep, it shows up. Had to install adb. Oh and btw, I'm running Kubuntu 13.04.

 

[fieryfennix]

Oh, and the recovery that used to be there was Xionia Clockwork.

 

[AndyOpie150]

Ok. Download the ZenGarden recovery and place in the SDK/platform-tools folder.
Go here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...ustom-recovery-custom-roms-6.html#post1362458
Type in the exact name of the ZenGarden recovery in place of the Xionia recovery.

 

[fieryfennix]

Should I reboot into Windoze for this procedure?

 

[AndyOpie150]

Shouldn't matter.
Read my previous post. Added more info.

 

[fieryfennix]

Ok, so running Kubuntu, I can see the s/n, but when trying to run SDK I get an error msg about missing Java. I installed Java, still get the error. I try to run in Windoze, and the "adb devices" command does nothing, not recognized. Ugh.

 

[AndyOpie150]

Download the SDK I posted. Delete the other SDK. Put the one I posted on the Root of the C: drive. Unzip and read readme.txt.
Make sure you already have the latest java jdk 6 installed.

 

[AndyOpie150]

I'll post how to get the java and SDK working in linux in a few days in a PM.

 

[AndyOpie150]

For the java jdk 6u45 go here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/...ownloads-javase6-419409.html#jdk-6u45-oth-JPR
Go toward the bottom of the page.

Fennix, listen to Andy. He knows what he's talking about. And for the record, I'd like to add try testing the sd-card on your pc (fsck is the Linux command you'll need) as it sounds like the card may be flaky.

 

[fieryfennix]

I"m well aware of Andy's credentials. I actually feel graced when he offers to help me. I've got some time this evening, so I'm going to take another stab at it. I haven't tested the card yet, but I did try a card from another phone. I'll test the card and get to work on the other things. I'm ok on a computer, but not so great on Android OS. Thanks guys for all your help. I'll be back.

 

[fieryfennix]

Ok, so I feel like an idiot. New card works fine. Sheesh. Sorry for taking up so much of your time. Thanks guys.

[AndyOpie150]

I'm just glad you got it working. Thanks to brotherswing for calling it right.
I sometimes forget the little solutions.
Thanks again goes out to brotherswing. Two brains are better than one.

 

[fieryfennix]

If either of you guys are around...I am still having a stoopid prob. I put all the zips on the new card. Rebooted into recovery, but am still getting the same "FORMATTING!" screen. It's probably my own stoopidity. Alcohol and sleep deprivation can do that. Pre-thanks to anyone that can help me. My wife is leaving in the morning on an 11-hour drive and needs her cell.

[AndyOpie150]

Give more detail about the size of the SD card, is it partitioned, what size is partition, what format is partition, etc.
If no partition, have you tried wiping SD card using option in menu/settings/storage, then reformatting to default with Windows OS?

 

[brotherswing]

It could be an issue with the actual card slot on the phone. It isn't common, but they can in fact fail. Do you have another phone you could test the sd-card in? Much like on a pc, if the os can't read the partition it will want to format it. Since you tested with a different card and got the same results (albeit after some time) there could be an issue with the slot. Either way it sounds like something is corrupting the partition table.
