Not sure if anyone has said this already, they have probably caught it I'm too tired to troll. But, in first post "adobe" inside the box labeled "notes" is spelt wrong. Updating to 2.2, night my fellow grom'ers

Not any more, lol!

is any one else having trouble getting themes to work since the latest release? everytime i try my phone freezes at the 2nd lg screen. even when i try to flash from recovery same thing. never had this problem before today

No problems here. Sounds like recovery threw up when it flashed. Nandroid back, or dirty flash ROM and you should be fine.

Is there anything else you are suppose to do besides flashing the zip from darktremor for a2sd to work... it says that it flashed ok but my apps are on internal mem also check df on emulator and the prt ext sd
doesnt show up. I had it on opti rom... what to do now?

I dont know. Never used it. Dont support it. Sorry. Maybe someone else will be able to answer you.

Just updated to 2.2. Happy to see another update. She's as fast as ever! I'm pushed her up to 806 mhz, and it just powers through whatever I ask. Phone pulled an 1171 in Quadrant. Am very pleased. It's continually great work from you. :)

Thank you!

I had an issue where I flashed 2.2 from Rom Updater. Then I went to Xionia recovery and flashed a theme manually. Rebooted and the phone said a bunch of apps were not installed that were there right before like messaging, gmail, etc.


Wierdness inside the coalmine....

Nandroid back and just flashed the icon pack and everything ok so far.

Stuff happens. I have found that the recovery on this phone is not very reliable and seems to make many issues compared to the recovery on my 3D.

Please don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing themes everyone. If that still does not work, then maybe there were some edits to framework or systemui done in this update that are causing conflicts.

Besides the gmail, messaging, and email mod (which is outdated now) the regular themes don't touch any apps other than contacts.

No, its not a framework issue. I tested every single theme before with v 2.0 and they all worked good. No changes to framework since 2.0. I just tested a theme with 2.2 and it worked as expected.
I think he just had a bad flash.

Battery life seemed to have gotten better with this release? Going on 24 hours and it's still at 81% with mainly texting, facebook, and surfing the web.

Good stuff, huh?

That is weird to say the least! I have not had it happen to me but as you know I dont use this device other than to make ROMS for you guys. Lets see if anyone else can provide any feedback on this if they have had a similar exp. But as far as I know its not normal behavior for sure!

Good deal... Quick question... What are you doing with that Evo Shift? I am always looking for old device to be donated, good or bad ESN, doesn't matter. You doing anything with it?
 
Once I updated to 2.2, I couldn't install apps anymore. It would go through the motions, then say "Application not installed." Used my nandroid backup to go back to 2.1, and was able to install apps again. I'm in the process of attempting to re-download 2.2, hopefully will get better results. :confused:

Try clearing your cache before doing all that. Might save you some time.
 
Okay, I jumped ship back to zvd. I really loved this rom. Except for one thing. No matter what I did, I was only getting about 25% of my texts from google voice. I dont know why. I flashed back to stock zvh last night, and they were all coming in. But stock just is no fun !! Keep up the good work here, I likely will be back to this rom.

the evo shift i traded for the optimus yeah the power shutdown only happened a couple times it could be my device cause i accepted the OTA i didnt have any of the problems people were experiencing my only prob were i had touch sensitivity issues that when moving between screens sometimes it wouldnt and on stock i had them random shut downs but for the screen sensitivity if i put a diff launcher on it it went away which is weird
 
another question ok i was havin them touch sensitivity issues on stock would that have anything to do with the kernal would increasing the overclock solve a touch sensitivity issue im currently on your rom at 748 max 245 min and it is has a lil lag what would be an ok setting for the kernal that wouldnt harm battery life
 
Scott,
What is the downside of a "dirty" flash?
I really hate reloading my apps, settings and losing my texts & call history.
I have "dirty" flashed the prior 2 updates, 2.0 & 2.1
Not sure if there are any performance issues although Angry Birds starts getting choppy after playing for a few minutes.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, most of the issues are not seen by everyone. I have theorized it comes down to hardware version. The only issue I saw, and it was only once or twice was the screen sensitivity issue. Happaned and then ever happened again. That, in all honesty is what most people report and it usually clears up after simple soft reboot. But... Like I said... It could be hardware related as well. I dont know because 99% of the issues I cant reproduce.

As far as speed, Push it out 806. I would. Hell if it woudl go higher, I would push it as far as it goes until it crashed. But thats just me, lol

Dont know much about angry birds but I do know a lot about dirty flashing :-X lol

You should be fine. The ROM will wipe cache. Its pretty simple, just flash and go. If you do have issues, some have reported apps not showing up and that a secondary cache wipe was needed.

But other than that. These Optimus ROMS are pvery basic in nature. Dirty flashing is not normally a problem as long as its the same major revision.

If you were coming from Stock GB to 2.2...I would say do full wipe... TWICE! lol But from 2.1 to 2.2... Nah, you should be good!

Strange, a dirty flash doesn't normally cause an issue like that. But you just never know! lol
 
This ROM is working great for me! Looking back at some of the posts I noticed one with apps not completely installing. I found if you use the quick boot application and then go back to the market to download it works fine. I haven't had this issue every time I loaded something just every now and then. I also used Titanium Backup for loading some of my apps I had on my previous ROM and they loaded with no problem.

Thanks for the ROM!

Well, there was no way I was going froyo. Honestly, a large part of my returning to zvd was cm7. Your rom rocks, but zvh is just too flawed.

Its all good bro. I am in no way offended. I was just offering to post my Foryo based ROMS for those that have the issues with GB. My Froyos were very popular as well. Same feature-set as this ROM but Froyo based....
