Re: [KERNEL][CM7] GingerKernel v01 Indeed, which is why it's helpful to use Google Maps which will display the precision of the location information (both with the circle and if you tap on your location). I don't know how Drew has configured the GPS stuff, but with my Optimus V I can get a...

Right. You need the 64-bit compatibility bits to build on a 32-bit install. In any case, use Ubuntu 10.04.

Quite frankly, you're in a pretty good position to start work on an AOSP based ROM already. You can certainly try it with a .32 kernel (and I expect most stuff would just work). Anyhow. Can one of you guys submit a pull request for the LS670 binary blobs?

Re: Drew's CM7 builds (stable: 08/09/2011 | experimental: 08/08/2 I wouldn't get your hopes up. Most of the bugs and annoyances are not kernel related. What was released was the (L)GPL part of Gingerbread. IOW the kernel and some webkit enhancements and the like. Judging by the P500...

It's just the kernel source. Really. Except for USB tethering and overclocking, there wasn't anything missing from the .32 kernel. Most of the bugs stem from the closed source bits that LG will never release... ever. Stuff like headset sensing is not done in kernel (at least not with the...

BB is overclocked by default, the IHO kernel is not. That will make a difference, especially at boot time. Also things like running dexopt before packaging the ROM will make a difference. It took Apple quite a bit of methodical effort to get the OSX boot time as fast as it is. And Apple had...

FWIW, Linux and MacOS both ship with md5 checksum utilities (called md5sum and md5 respectively).

Okay. For my purposes at least, this thread has formally been succeeded by two things: 1.) The wiki entry located here. 2.) The porting IHO to a different Optimus phone thread on XDA. Like the official thread dev threads the move to the wiki is designed to encourage people to develop a single...

I'm going to say this once, and once only: I will ignore (and on the IHO/XDA thread direct the mods to delete) any discussion of Bing. It's off-topic with one exception: if you've found and tested a fix that doesn't result in breaking anything else. Note: I am using the MCC/MNC that VMU is...

Yes, do use the gingerbread branch. As for your error it looks like you probably ran out of memory.

I was on-site dealing with some non internet related issues when said client's DSL went down (and up, and down, and up. Poor saps still have AT&T. Yuck.). Anyhow, I had to USB tether the phone to download some drivers and such, and was able to get 1.5Mbps while the supposedly 6Mbps DSL was able...

IHO recovery defaults to creating ext4 partitions (I'll change it to ext2 when I get a chance I suppose), but should handle reading/writing whatever.

.... just checking in after updating the OP to indicate that Whyzor threw some cash my way. No worries! I'm not in this for the money, otherwise you'd see me building/distributing my own ROM, including lots of adware, not sharing the source, etc. That said, donations do make a BIG...

I would leave the max at 600MHz. Generally when coming out of sleep ondemand will jump to the max pretty quickly and ramp it back down. I'm using a widget to monitor battery temp and CPU speed, and you'd be surprised how little time the phone spends at maximum clock speed (even while playing...

The conservative governor is already included. If someone wants that much potential extra battery life, it's just a few taps away. As for undervolting, probably not. Overclocked speeds need the voltage to maintain stability. I might adjust where the boundaries are for some of the slower...
