Hello,

Firstly a request to open a Sub-Forum for 'LG Optimus Pro C660' under the 'LG' devices section

;
;

Thread originally opened here...

Breaks / Bugs on CyanogenMod 7 Nightly builds for LG Otimus Pro C660

Branched out of this thread .......

Cyanogen Mod for C660
;

;

@varoon, @angenit ...

Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...

1. Keyboard characters messed up
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card.
- UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!

4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.

Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control
- BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response)
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34
- TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

Thnx,

I would like to request ricardo that please don't give us things like swap if u can't as most of don't need that but please please please don't compromise with the speed of the rom.. speed n low ram were the biggest problems we had on stock rom so please keep cm7 cleen and fast rather then loading it with unuseful features that make it slow and laggy like stock rom

So please please dump build 13 and 14 and keep the stock realy fast as it was in buld 11

Thanks n regards

Lovish

Hey guys SWAP is very important, specifically when you are browsing on multiple windows/tabs.

In the stock ROM every time you switched from one browser window/tab to the other, the page reloads making the browsing experience a very slow painful thing, the Cyanogen ROM however improved that a little but not much(a slight load on this too and the browser crashes and your VALUABLE research window/tabs are lost...

Whereas swap gives you a great browsing experience minus the crashes, with multiple browser windows/tabs, the page once loaded will not reload, so when you are switching between them the content of the page is static and visible all the time and making toggling between them a pleasurable experience !!!!!!!

I would say SWAP is a necessity on devices with less than 256MB RAM, and our device has only 194MB RAM !!!

People who do not need swap can always abstain from activating it on their devices.
(to my knowledge ... A SWAP ENABLED KERNEL WILL NOT SLOW THE ROM, ITS A FEATURE WHICH LETS THE KERNEL EXECUTE THE 'SWAPON' COMMAND.......so performance and a swap enabled kernel are not related.)

Honestly i don't see any LAG in the speed of my device from builds 11 to 14.

I did face a choppy keyboard response on build 14 but i downgraded tested and upgraded back and tested and the choppiness ... it was resolved. YOU CAN TRY DOING THE SAME AND SEE IF THE MINOR ISSUES SELF CORRECT !

Guys we need to wait until the stable version is out, all the devs currently seem very busy adding newer device support.

All the unresolved issue will hopefully be ironed out in the stable release !!!

Patience is a virtue ... and i can see that it is paying off ... the stock rom is lost way behind.

Kudos Cyanogen and Dev's
thanks,

But I heard somewhere that swap reduces your sd card's lifespan and ultimately kills it...

Also we were promised 256 mb of ram... how can our device have only 194 mb of RAM ???? Its out of my understanding.. please help

Thanks

Assuming u are on a cm7 nightly build 12 and later ...

1. Download the Darktremor's A2SD zip file.

2. Backup up ur SD card to your comp.

3. Boot into CWM recovery, go to advanced - partition card - choose the ext. Partition size(this is where your apps will be installed). Choose the swap partition size (I have set 128mb) don't get greedy as it will be counter productive, even my 128mb is on the higher side (as popular recomended size is 32mb) and at times some processes send the swap usage to more than 100mb and my phone strugggles and freezes ... I guess u get the point :) - confirm the partition ur SD card is partitiioned.

4. Go back to the first screen on the recovery - go to mounts and storage - connect ur device to the comp - and choose the last option on this list ... this will let u access ur SD card from the comp. ... now copy the downloaded DT's A2SD zip file to the root of the SD card ... go back - select mount data - select mount system - go back and install the zip file the same way u install a cm build.

After everything has run successfully reboot the device ...

It will take sometime to boot depending on the number of apps u on ur device ... device could reboot from the boot screen or it cud login to the device and reboot after sometime ... just give it some time ... patience is paramount :)

5. Download and install the A2SDGUI from the market, this app will help u do things easily as compared to a command line procedure.

6. Go to the low memory tab in this app and choose the second option (the optimum one). This setting should manage ur swap better.

That's it !!!
