Root [ROM][4.0.4][BETA] CM9 for Virgin Mobile and Sprint 10/3/2013

[Junkyarddog269]

I bought this phone because it was cheap and the specs were better than my optimus v. With the stock rom this phone was crap constant random reboots and fc and overheating . With this rom the phone runs much better can't wait for the finished version making me not regret buying it lol.

Phenom, to fix the lack of 3g EVDO on this phone would be the best thing in the world! Can you confirm its a software/coding issue rather then a hardware one?

It actually is on 3g but it thinks it's on 1x all the time

 

[jeremydrumond]

when are thinking about releasing cm10 for the lg optimus elite

 

[jeremydrumond]

everything is working great with this rom i have the camera working great on snapchat i just cant figure out why it isnt working for instagram when ever i hit the record button the app just crashes

Correct I have noticed that.... but I mean more along the lines of the 3G connection repeatedly dropping. For instance, since day 1, as soon as I get a 3g connection it'll hold until I stop using data for about 20-30 seconds.... then it drops to 1x and I've gotta make a call or airplane mode toggle for the 3g lock to come back...... I've literally cruised on cdma only for months lol

Yeah the camera is still buggy. It works with some apps and with other apps the camera doesn't work.

At some point between flashing the new cm9 versions between 8/21 and 8/30 I have lost facebook and twitter notifications. I get text message and email notifications, but not fb and twitter. I checked in their apps settings and everything looks okay. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix this?

I've had issues with other apps not showing notifications (Tapatalk specifically). I think I fixed it by clearing data then logging back in to my account.

If the Internet works I won't worry about. What you signal like? How many bars or better yet wats you dBm? Go to setting-about phone-status. Its there and will tell you. post it

By the way anyone notice any perfomance or longer battery time with spock1104 kernel. Have you tried it phenomx4?

 

[hashoil1o1]

my battery lasts about 10-12 hours on average, i also have the upgraded 1800mah battery's, so once one is drained i got the other one on the charger and i just swap battery's. i never plug my phone in to charge anymore.. BTW Nice Job Phenom, This rom works perfect i think it would be qualified for a final non beta release soon.

 

[jeremydrumond]

The battery doesn't last on this rom wat can I do to make it better

I get 16hours and 40 minutes of battery life after a full charge, and so far, that's been accurate. I don't have alot going on with my phone tho. I have Maps for live gps and OsmAnd for offline. Pandora for my car radio, and a couple messengers(facebook, skype). If I'm driving around, only a gps and pandora are going. At home, I disable gps and 3g data completely, and turn off my messengers. But, I have a pc at home. My vmphone is basically a really smart gps and radio. If it applies to you, turn off all the hardware you don't need (Gps, wifi, 3g). I got the stock battery, my guess is your apps are draining you.

In my opinion performance is better, and no problem so far with use of the camcorder by itself, the battery seems to drain faster though. The main battery usage coming from 'Media Server' and 'Maps'. On the VM stock Rom I woudd usually force close maps but never noticed media server under battery usage in stock Rom. Nice update though, Thanks

 

[NetSpeedZ]

Functionally it's the same kernel, but I've made it with a different compiler. Among other things, Linaro maintains a very efficient and cutting edge gcc, so more efficiencies/optimizations that have been discovered over time are implemented. The best benefits come from switching on code optimization, but I've only run it through the size optimization. Even still I'm seeing better I/O and as such load times seem to be better. There's debate on how much switching toolchains helps, but I'm hopeful I can squeeze some extra speed and stability out of this phone. I haven't had much observation time with it either, but battery drain seems to be slightly lower, managed an extra couple hours.

Any special procedure to flash the kernel other than clear cache/dalvik?

Appreciate the explanation.

Is anyone having problems with the video recording?

Just flashed 8-30-13 Build. Camera works fine (including the Volume up for taking photo. Video will record, however, when playing back, error dialog is displayed, 'Sorry, this video cannot be played'. Pressing OK on the error and then replaying the video does not generate any error dialog.

After playing the video and exiting camera app and then going back into camera app, an error dialog is displayed, 'Can't connect to the camera'. Pressing the OK button exits the camera app. Going back into the camera app does not render any errors - with the exception of the video problem explained earlier.

This is already known. Some sort of conflict between lib camera and genlock crashes the mediaserver after leaving preview or exiting the camera.

FYI - I have two elites (actually one is my wife's) - One on CM9. I've found they get the same signal strength under "About Phone" status but CM9 just shows fewer bars. I'm guessing stock just shows more bars with the same signal compared to CM9.

I have always figured that was the case but had no way to prove it

Anyone else having trouble downloading mms sometimes ?

Clearing cache and dalvik cache shouldn't be necessary, just flash over the build and you're good to go.

I have kind of a weird issue. I use Llama for automatically setting profiles, based on my location. The notification icon is displayed very oddly with CM9. I'm attaching a screenshot, the icon should be a picture of a llama with three dots over it, the dots aren't showing up properly. When I have it on my loudest profile, it displays what looks more like a line, with part of it being red, instead of 4 cyan dots.

I'm attaching screenshots showing both icons. I can also attach ones showing the icons on Sleipnir, using my girlfriend's Elite, if needed.

 

[jeremydrumond]

I can't wait for cm10
