Black Screen with most ROMS

[Eollie]

glad it worked.
if virgin is now handing out phones with the newer screen hardware from the optimus s, there are going to be a lot of problems coming up with custom roms until people figure this out.

fortunately, zefie was pretty good at programming and adapting software for the v (he only had a s, too! he da man.)
His xionia recovery and xionia kernels seem to be lifesavers for some situations. I recall reading that the xionia kernels work with lg-based froyo roms too, so that'll help a little to allow giving people a choice.
maybe the devs compiling kernels for the v will chuck those VD drivers in,like zefie did, to cover this new issue.

If this ends up being the case file a bug report to blarf on github.

tricky for me to do since I have the old hardware, and can't properly quantify the bug except by quoting this thread and the old xionia kernel thread of zefie's where he was hashing out the issue by having users with affected phones test his kernel as he tried fixes (since his phone was unaffected.)
it's beyond me as yet to work this out, and blarf is pretty busy I'm betting, without having to port drivers into the kernel. maybe once a few more users run into this problem, it'll be worth bringing up to him, since he's quite the active dev.

Very true he is busy. Thats why I said if it ends up being the case.
Maybe a how to or what if thread can get created and pertion to be stickied.
That way if people have the problem we can direct them to the proper place and hopefully get a idea how often its happening. I guess just waiting on the various threads to be started would work too, just hate seeing multiple threads on the same thing several times a week.

@ndaman, if you're still reading this, the dev behind IHO (blarf) has recommended you post this problem with specifics on the xda dev thread so if the problem comes up for more people it can become an official bug to be squashed.

If I see this come up again I'll put up a what-to-do_you-need-a-xionia-kernel thread here for the less experienced to read/post to.
If I hadn't gotten my Optimus so close to the release date and been reading zefie's dev posts back when the device was fresh and more interesting to the devs, I'd have had no idea what the problem was in this case. most of the really technical info is buried under months of other posts and is harder to search out now unless you really know specifically what you're looking for.

Yeah I think Ive had my Optimus since shortly after it hit too. I totally forgot about this until you mentioned it. Then like a lightbulb I was like yup exactly whats happening.
