[ROM][WIP][4.4.2] CyanogenMod 11 KitKat for Optimus S/V

[skinbark]

I got my new Transcend UHS-I 16 gb microSDHC card this morning and installed the new os2sd build. It really makes a big difference, I was amazed at how quickly the rom flashed, and kitkat runs a lot quicker.

Update on my testing of OS2SD, Rom has settled in and is running faster than BACKside. YouTube HD works in Dolphin. Still have to re-enter WiFi password, and set preferred keyboard after any reboot. I did have one random reboot, didn't get a logcat. I'll be keeping an eye on that....
Since I don't have service right now, I'm not worried about flashing the new build with the data fix. At least not yet.

VM670 on 4.4.2? Yes, indeed.

Is there any good reason to update my os2sd recovery? Or can I use the older one to flash the new build?

Edit: nvm... I just reread and realized the recovery hasn't changed

Yeah, I don't think you'd notice a difference, although each new build does include whatever bugfixes and features get added from CyanogenMod, androidarmv6 and AOSP.

I'm going to change the image colors on the os2sd recovery so people are less likely to get mixed up on which recovery they're on.
Edit - uploaded. New cwm os2sd version has red cwm logo and robot.

By the way... Anyone else notice in the new cwm recoveries if you hit volume down a bunch of times you'll enter rainbow mode. Technicolor fun lol

Got my phone working again using this guide http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...4-guide-unbrick-any-optimus-v-noob-proof.html. Back on 100% stock 2.2. Let's try this Kit Kat thing again haha

Glad to hear it, maybe I can revive mine with that guide. Mine errored out while flashing in kdz and will do nothing but bootloop on the stock android logo. For installing kitkat (esp. os2sd) you should have adb up and working on your machine and learn to use the flash_image command. adb is useful anyway for adding and removing files and checking things out.

Just thought I'd mention since dman861's problem began with the sdcard not mounting correctly. Adb sideload function works fine in os2sd and probably the standard recovery as well

Incredible rom, its amazing. Just wondering if there was a virgin fix, I thought I saw one previously.

I just uploaded button fixes for normal and os2sd. The full virgin fixes broke data, not yet resolved.

So the newest version has the buttons back to normal for Sprint? Awesome...time to try this out.

I've been using the regular skinbark recovery to flash everything, regular and sd, and it has been working fine for me.

last night clock stopped at twelve thirteen, wouldn't change until rebooted.
noticed at 4 am after failed 2am alarm.

Oh yeah, the updater script tells the recovery what partitions to mount. So the recovery knows about all partitions regardless of what's in fstab.thunderc? Apparently.
Edit: I guess this means all you have to do to switch between internal mem and sd-ext installs is flash the boot.img. Slick! I might also swap out the sdcard just to keep things tidy. 1 phone - 2 roms ! slick!

Ooo rough way to find that out. Hope it wasn't disastrous...

I'm still driving because of it, and ran an hour late at work, but nothing horrible.

The thing is, the regular recovery won't mount/unmount or format the external partitions from the menu. We need a recovery that can recognize and handle ALL partitions.

Flashed the January 4 version of the rom...those skinny Gapps (December 29, came with the Dec 30 rom) STILL won't work. I can't figure out for the life of me why this is.

Also, the "custom image" wallpaper I had got kicked out, it's back to that silly underwater looking one. Not sure if that's so much an issue, but I thought I'd make that known.
