[ROM] [LGL55C/OptimusQ] [AreaRom] AreaRomQ v2.0

**jcole20** · 06-21-2012, 10:15 PM

Yes they are. Ill release the slider kernels in a seperate thread. Again there's two. One @ 876.8mhz and one @ 946.808mhz. The issue is these kernels may or may not work with all devices. Some sliders and some qs may not be able to be overclocked. These kernels are based on work by drewwalton (876mhz kernel) and kato (946mhz kernel). Drews kernel is pushing better benchmarks but may not work with your device. Were not sure why this is. The 946mhz kernel is pushing lower benchmarks than the 876mhz kernel, but is running on more devices. You'll have to play with it and find what suits your device the best. I'm hoping to have arearomq v2.1 done next week. When its completed ill release all of our work including both kernels for the q and for the slider. Thank you all again for your continued support and interest. We're working hard to bring life to these lifeless droids.

Lol "lifeless"

Dude you are a savior to us all. I'm still doing all I can to find a solution for CM7

If you figure out how to kick that radio on ill be impressed. It looks like the vendor blobs are going to be a hurdle.

dude... the drivers for this is impossible to find. Im looking in every build tree possible

**jcole20** · 06-25-2012, 02:51 PM

Yeah they're not out there and every tree is missing a lot. Bobzhome is decent for some of the gelato stuff, and thunderc fixes the sound. The accelerometer and camera I've got no clue on.

What about the optimus elite? What build is that?

Not sure haven't really looked into it. I just know that there aren't trees for a lot of our hardware. Bobzhome is very incomplete and his gelato keymapping is off. Its very unlikely we will see a working port anytime soon. Rhg is working hard on getting ics working on our devices. We have several builds of various roms from cm7, cm9 to aokp ics. Unfortunately they're all proof of concept rather than working ports. Again its very unlikely we will see much of anything on these devices outside of expansion to the arearom builds. I wish I could give you more promising news but its simply not going to happen I don't think.

Hi all:

I've flashed AreaRomQ 2.0 and found that the keymapping for the Home and Menu buttons were swapped. I flashed GingerKernal 0.71, and it's been corrected.

Additionally, prior to installing GingerKernal, plugging the device into a USB cable rebooted it. Is this evident with other folks?

**raymix1000** · 06-28-2012, 02:50 PM

im currently using this ROM on my slider, and I want to pull out some keys, but ADB won't see the phone.

That's because the rom is for the q. The kernel isn't a slider kernel. Compare the optimus q and the optimus slider. The phones have two major differences (well 3 if you count the phones /system partition storage sizes). The sliders home keys and menu keys are reversed (like their physical location) and the q comes with ciq implemented where the slider doesn't.

And to raymix, the phones not going to be recognized by adb. Unfortunately on the q to give u flash I had to change the ro.secure.id value to 0 (root) in the kernel. Making this change allows flash to work but also kills the adb shell on the q. There is a workaround in the engdroidq rom and it was implemented in a previous version of arq, but I found the tweak to be a drain on the memory (ram) of the device... so much so that I dropped it in later versions and went ahead and just set the kernel to allow flash (thereby killing the adb shell). With the ease of copy and paste via es file explorer I don't feel its that big of a burden since adb doesn't work via recovery on the q to begin with.

Thanks, jcole.

I'm using AreaROMQ simply because the phones storage quickly filled up, and Area seems to specialize in free that space.

While it doesn't seem ROM-specific (I've tried out a couple of others), activation of 3G really kills the battery on the Slider, even if not in use (e.g., surfing or automatic syncing). I haven't had luck in finding a solution other than use of JuiceDefender or some other automatic 3G disabler; does anyone have any suggestions?

**hezx** · 07-15-2012, 08:34 PM

so what your saying is that you want to disable your 3G???

okay sure... now you cant do anything except text and call

**jjmontem** · 07-18-2012, 11:12 AM

No, Hezx, temporarily disabling 3G is the only way I've been successful in achieve a 'reasonable' battery life (i.e., 1 day with extremely limited use of both voice and data (mostly wifi)).

**jcole20** · 07-19-2012, 04:28 PM

The notification toggles I added to arq have a 3g toggle. U can quickly and easily disable 3g with it.

O, I see that now, jcole20; thanks.

I don't think I was making myself clear - and it may not be consistent with this thread's subject - but I was commenting on the extremely poor battery life of the Slider (regardless of ROM) with 3G enabled. For example, if enabled and without data use, 3G will noticeably heat the unit, and the battery will go from 100 to 0 within an hour.

**jcole20** · 07-19-2012, 04:49 PM

If your batt is draining in an hour on a fresh flash with 3g enabled, you may want to replace your batt or seak a replacement phone. That's not normal at all.

Good (kind of) to hear. From searching forums/google about the Slider's battery life, I gathered that it was normal... I've put a ticket into Virgin Mobile, and will try to remember to follow up here for future Google search queries...

**maddpiratekidd** · 07-19-2012, 10:54 PM

My phone was at 100 % at 2:00 pm it is now 11:53 pm and it's at 47% I have been listing to music most of the day with out plugging it in. 3g and Wi-Fi have been on as well. (Just so you have an idea on what the battery life should be)

My phones older and I've damaged some cells in the battery. I need a new battery but I'm still getting a full day charge with normal usage.

just flashed arearom 2.1 and whenever i connect the usb cable the phone goes the lg startup screen and cannot be used. happens if i connect to computer or power supply.

**badoom** · 10-20-2012, 03:32 PM

are there any kernals for the lgl55c

**badoom** · 10-20-2012, 03:35 PM

is that kernal for the lgl55c

**0LDSK00LhXc80** · 10-23-2012, 06:04 PM

So... because this ROM is in the Slider section that means it's safe to flash on my Slider?

**Mike Daniels2** · 01-21-2013, 06:29 PM

this is a question first off i just flashed this rom on my optimus slider and i love it the only fault i see is that my physical menu and home buttons are reversed (home is menu and menu is home) any way to fix this other than that love the rom

**Mike Daniels2** · 01-24-2013, 11:17 AM

I flashed this rom on my optimus slider all works fine after i flashed gingerkernal over top but it still says wrong model of phone in about phone area.Anyone know how to fix that?

i fixed previous issue by flashing gingerkernal over top
