Ok, i've been modding and playing with my LG Optimus Black P-970 lately, and it's been working pretty nicely. But today it started being unstabile, and weird. Examples, often when scroll around menus etc, i see a black rectangle i would guess is about 5x10 px in size, lined up in the left side of the screen. Lots of apps act weird and stops responding. If i tru to unlock after a while in standby, the screen freezes on what looks like a untuned analog tv channel, just with some colors in it. So what might have caused it?
What i have done tody, is to:
1. Updated GO Launcher EX
2. Download BusyBox, and apply the newest update it offered
3. Update the su-binary in superuser.
4. Lastly, which i suspect, i pulled Phone.apk, replaced a few background pictures in it (New ones is same resolution, but different type, from RGB to Monochrome), and pushed it back in.
Now i got problems, so i did this without any results so far:
- I've replaced GO Launcer EX with ADW.
- Removed some widgets i made with Chronotopia.
- Uninstalled BusyBox (But probably not the updates it applied to my system).
Any experiences/knowledge with these kind of problems? I do suspect the Phone.apk and the updated BusyBox...
EDIT: I managed to get a screenshot of that block dot that keeps appearing on the left side. For some reason, it appears as white in the screenshot. w00t? Dunno if it's relevant.
I would change phone.apk back to stock just to see if that helps. I kind of doubt it had to do with busy box. Good luck!
That was my idea, and i thought i had Phone.apk laying around, but no So i tried something stupid and ended up bricking the phone again, lol. So now i'm back to stock, rooted it and did a backup Updated BusyBox, Superuser and su-binary. Seems good so far, haven't done anything else. I'm gonna be so sad if i find out that i can't change a few png's in Phone.apk without stability problems. I didn't sign the modified Phone.apk before i pushed it back, may that be the problem?
I suppose it could be. Try your change again & see what happens.
Ok, last time i ended up doing a full LG recovery, and just a little tweaking. Yesterday, i made a backup, then started to heavily modify the framework-res.apk, and i got the same problem once again. This time i didn't even touch any other apk's. So now, barely awake, lol, i tried removing the old files and replace them with stock in drawable-hdpi folder, and push it back. Still the same. Tried to push the stock untouched framework-res.apk, still the same. Tried to recover to the backup i made, and still the same. What bothers is that i bypass an error message saying "ERROR, LG Security Team !" on every boot.
So i tried another, bit old backup, and this one works fine. But these problems i mentioned has not been showing between those two backups. I just had to try to restore the backup i made yesterday once more, and still it's buggy. I just can't make any sens out of that...

Do you have an SD partition? I think you have to have one for this ROM, didn't think to test without an SD partition. A2SD is baked in. It would be great if someone could confirm this, cuz I don't wanna delete my partition lol.

Well in SS the a2sd version will still boot with no partition but it will reboot upon installing a app.
His md5 could be bad or maybe not a full wipe. Its hard to tell based on info provided

If you guys have problems with a ROM: BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO GET SOLVED. It's not just my ROMs we are talking about, we can't help you if you are vague. And logcats are the most helpful thing if you have a problem that is not in the OP. We are here to help but you have to help us to help you.

Well put, I used to hate someone saying this is broke and leaving it at that. Because 75% of the time its user specific or created so its hard for us to track down what happened. The standard for reporting bugs should be
The security type of phone eg s-on/s-off
Wipe process( most important part of flashing)
If the md5 was checked and matched. If anything else was restored in recovery or flashed with the ROM. But that's my opinion
Sent from a freaked out Jellybean
Yes definitely. The more relevant information provided, the easier to diagnose the issue. Then formulate a solution.

Thanks so much for this, much different than the stock GingerBread I just replaced.
I've only been using Android about 6 months and was running a rooted stock kernel and dodgekernel, but I have to say this build feels much quicker and looks much slicker and has a very nice kernel built in.
I don't know if I was just behind the times or what but is that really just a skin/look change on the Play Store? It's extremely different and very nice looking to what I was using before (and about 10x faster).
I did run in to a couple issues, that are probably just user issues.
I've reinstalled all the apps I was used to but noticed that starting up a navigation, or music file or inputting an address doesn't bring up the prompt I'm used to of "Which application should we open this with". In fact I cannot find where any default tasks can be assigned anywhere. Whenever I go to manage applications, "Launch by default" always says "No defaults set." for every single application.
Another oddity that I think is related to this, when I hit the 'action'/'smart' button my bluetooth it just goes 'dut-dut' and does nothing.
I'm pretty sure Voice Commands is installed, but it won't come up and now I've installed My MotoSpeak and that will not respond either, and I think this is because I cannot choose that button as a task and nothing is set up by default.
Thanks for the help and the nice build.
EDIT: I just noticed that the CM10 roms says that "BT call audio." could be a problem. I know that is a whole different animal, but could that be an issue here as well? Its odd, my BT will play media music fine, but will not play phone/call audio correctly, just hear a buzzing.

There are ICS/JB themes you can download, but some of the theming is within the ROM. As for BT calling, I am only able to test BT by sending files, I no longer own a headset (My Planatronics took a ride in the washer).... Speed is what I shoot for on all my ROMs
Also... Did you restore data when you restored your apps? If you did, reflash and restore apps without data, it might fix your problem.

Absolutely agree :good: . A Fresh CLean install when first flashing a Rom will avoid a lot of issues. It may take more effort, and time. But it usually gives the best results.

I actually didn't know there was an option for that, how would you go about doing that for future reference?
Whenever I run a new rom I wipe data 3 times, cache and davlik and start fresh.
I don't use that many apps anyway, just some key ones every day for the drive, so only takes about a couple hours to get set back up and much of that time is just experiencing the new rom and finding what's different.
Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

If you are using Titanium Backup it restores app data by default, there are three options near the top of the screen when choosing apps to restore... Thanks for the input tho, it's something I don't really think about because I no longer have a BT headset. I'll have to look into it... Too fast? Lol there's no such thing.
Hi,
after updating my HTC U11 to the official HTC Android Pie Europe release, so far the only real problem i found is, that for some reason the commute notification of google maps are now shown as a notification within a notification. Before the updated they worked fine. If you don´t know what that is supposed to mean, see here:
imgur.com/SQ27lSW
So far that only happens to the commute notifications. Pressing on either of the settings buttons only leads to the commute settings where i can disable the notification completly, which is not what i want.
Before the update it was only one notification with the map in a size where you could actually see something straight from the notification.
I already tried deactivating the function and activating it a few days later withouth any difference. I also tried clearing the cache and data, as it is set as a system app so that is the closest i could get to an uninstall.
As far as i know, i can´t really make a useful bug report through the app itself, as it is a notification i can hardyl make a screenshot of with the integrated bug report tool.
I also tried looking at the notification logs, but could´t see anything out of the ordinary with my simple knowledge of it: imgur.com/Fk9U0dk
After living with this "problem" for the last few months, I wanted to see if someone had the same problem and maybe found a solution in the mean time, which lead me here in the hope of finding such an answer
Thanks in advance for your help
Hi.
Last week I decided to reflash my U11, it's a Europe Pie version too, aka HTC__034. I had several bugs, with apps crashing like Google Assistant, the Dialer (unable to type a number or letter) and others. Flashing the RUU went fine and I got rid of those bugs, and even got better SOT than before (from 4 to 5 hours).
Reading your message, I just realized that I also got rid of another bug I had with the Google Phone dialer app. It also had such nested notifications when I received a call. Now it works fine.
So maybe flashing the RUU could solve your problem.
Hi kurtschmeichel,
thanks for the quick answer.
From what i read, flashing the RUU also clears all your data and settings, or did I get that wrong? As this is currently the only "problem" I have, I think I will not take this route as this entails a lot of reconfiguring.
Yes your phone will be "like new". You have to backup ALL your data before flashing a RUU.
