[ROM] Harmonia 1.87 Froyo (Aphrodite+Picasticks) 12June12

[LeslieAnn]

OK, sorry to bug you with all these questions, LOL. but I do think i'm going to update to 1.9. The last time i did 1.8 I needed to use the pica07remix.zip to fix my newer screen problem (it did the nonresponsive "black screen" thing when I flashed 1.8 initially). Do I need to use this pica07 again for flashing 1.9?

Also, I used your other program, "prep for new rom.zip," which is awesome. Can i use that again to do all the wiping/clearing that needs to be done before flashing the update?

TIA!!

New screens are working properly on 1.9, and yes the prep will work for most phones and roms actually.

OK, I have a little hiccup...I downloaded the 1.9 update, went into my recovery and cleared dalvik and cache and then flashed the update. I thought it would just update and all would be the same on my phone, but I have Link2sd set up and my phone is acting wonky now. Link2sd looks normal when I open the app and look at everything, but I have lost all internal storage on my phone, as if the links aren't working. Previously, I had 80% free on my internal. So I'm wondering if I cannot do a simple flash of the update because i use Link2sd? Do I need to just do a full wipe and flash like it's a new rom? TIA!

 

[LeslieAnn]

Links2sd will always throw a kink into updates. Someone with more experience working with it will need to chime in on how best to do it.

 

[upconvert]

It's been a while since I've used it, but doesn't Link2sd have an option that rebuilds the links to libraries and whatnot? Have you tried that?

 

[zettageek]

Your roms are amazing. I plan on purchasing a new VM phone soon, what others do you support?

Also, where can I donate?

 

[LeslieAnn]

The one phone I am doing most dev work on is the Evo V as that is the phone I use. Technically, I support the One V, but only loosely. Both of these are fantastic phones with good dev support and I would highly recommend them both. If you want a nice sleek phone, the One V is great, if you need the extra power, you would be best served by the Evo V. The Evo V has a minor radio issue expected to be fixed any day by an over the air upgrade. Rooted users already have the fix and have been enjoying their phones. I could live with either quite happily.

Most roms for the Venture and Optimus Elite are based on my work, however I mostly set them up so they had roms to work from. I only built the foundation roms for the Chaser, I have never even touched one. The Elite has some potential but also some issues, but has more development than the Chaser. It tends to stick in 1x, though it reads 3g and early models sometimes overheat.

I have no experience with the Samsung, but it, the Evo V and One V would be my main considerations. Word is we may also be getting the Galaxy S2, but it will be quite high priced.


Donate link is in my sig.

is there any way to boot my gps signal? i hear theres some files out there u can flash that will help but didnt know if there was 1 for the optimus v.

 

[LeslieAnn]

Doesn't work on every phone and honestly, I question if it works at all.

If you can;t get a good signal with an OV, odds are you won't get a good signal with most anything. The GPS in the OV is really good as it is.

I've been away from this forum (and the Optimus V) for a while. On Harmonia 1.87, I can still activate a new account with VM right? Thanks.

Pretty sure the answer is still yes

overclock settings?

I haven't run this ROM in a long time, but my wife wanted me to put this back on her phone (2.0 was causing crashes). Is there a place to set clock settings? I go into settings, and I don't see any place to set overclock. I tried Google and searching in this thread, but I came up empty. I honestly can't remember if I could do this, or if I did, how I did it when I'd put this on her phone before. Anyone able to straighten me out?

You need to download an overclocking app like Set CPU from the market.
All the Froyo ROMs are that way.

Thanks for letting me know. I suspected that it was something like that, but I wanted to be sure before I went futzing around with one more thing.

Note: Set the Min to 480MHz, then set the Max at the lowest setting above 700MHz (The Harmonia can't be overclocked as high as the Resurrected Bumblebee).
Go one setting up on the Max, then open the 3D Gallery. Do this one setting at a time until the Gallery freezes or the phone auto reboots ( make sure you have the "set at boot" box unchecked).
Then go back and set the Max back down two settings and check the "set at boot" box. This is your safe CPU overclock setting (usually around 725MHz).

The only thing left is to choose the Governor. Interactive gives the best battery off charge times.

The Resurrected Bumblebee is pre-set to 480MHz min and 768MHz Max.

Is the latest of this rom stable with phones updated to the ZV9 radio?

 

[AndyOpie150]

The update did not affect the ROM. The ROM is still compatible.

Question: What exactly are you looking for in a ROM?
In the almost two years of owning my V I have flashed every ROM developed for it and almost all that have been ported over as well.

I can guide you to the best ROM for your needs.

Note: All Froyo ROMs still have the factory reset option in the phones settings. PLEASE: Never, ever do a factory reset from that setting. It will B.R.I.C.K the phone.
Once rooted you can only use the "wipe data/factory reset" option from the recovery.

1.9 is the latest for Froyo Harmonia.
Frankly in terms of Froyo, there really isn't a whole lot to chose from. If you are worried about the age, it doesn't really matter.Without updates from LG, there isn't a lot that can or should be updated on this.

I recommend running the rom you appear to be. Mirage.

 

[AndyOpie150]

I have a Froyo ROM.zip (with the acivate app) on the sd card in case I ever loose my data connection.

As LeslieAnn mentioned the latest MiRaGe ROM is the best right now for the V.
It's the fastest, smoothest, most secure, rock solid ROM for this phone, no matter what the baseband.

I'm selling the phone to a friend, and I remember that after doing the ZV9 update that no rom was stable except for the official 2.2.2 firmware. The CM7 roms were patched to be stable, but I remember that 2.2.1 roms were unstable after going to the ZV9 radio. I have to give it to them with froyo so it has the activate app.

I suppose I'll just flash it to CM7 if they have issues.
