Possible rom related? I just tried to restore a rom from cwm. My routine is, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, format system, restore, fix permissions. However when I went to restore I had no backups! None! So I rebooted. Reinstalled astro file manager and had no roms on my ext SD card. I always double check so I'm sure I didn't format SD card. Any clue?

I haven't had this ROM do that to my SD Card, but I *did* have that happen when I was installing a different ROM a couple of weeks ago. I think there's a minor bug in CWM that caused it.. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.7 and have noticed a few other oddities...

Oh yeah, and OP has been udpdated with a new version.

Thanks for the reply.

It *IS* pretty huge... didn't mean to imply otherwise! though I don't think it's my ROM (anyone can check the updater-script)...

I'm curious - are you using 5.0.2.7 recovery or an older version? I didn't have any issues until I updated to 5.0.2.7 recovery.. For example, if you select Choose Zip From SDCard, go to external SD, go back, then go to internal SD (ie, hunting for your file), it will automatically start flashing on its own sometimes.. I've learned to back ALL the way out of Choose Zip before going from external to internal or vice versa...

EDIT:

wanna talk about wierdness? I was pretty sure I included wifi calling in the original build.. it is missing... SO I built it a SECOND time... after putting the APK in the correct folder... and it disappeared AGAIN... it's like there's a ghost in my PC... :(

Checking everything again... looks like the archive WITHOUT wifi calling is fine.. except wifi calling is missing...

I've thought about it... I added the 5 and 9 locks mod to a couple of Roms back when I was on the Vibrant... It's a complicated process though! I almost have a feeling most people would just use widgetlocker now.

EDIT:
Okay, ghosts now exorcised from my system. Update that actually includes WiFi calling is available. Left the one without it also, for those who don't want it.

I'm still on cwm 3.0.2.7. Is that bad?

I'm no expert... all I know is I had 5.0.2.0 when I first rooted this phone -- haven't had it long. I haven't heard anyone else say they've had the couple of issues I've run into so I thought maybe they were new issues. As I said though, when I did have it happen to me, this Rom wasn't even thought of yet... so there is *certainly* an issue, but it seems to be a CWM issue... the wipe has only happened to me once, and it was only my internal SD... thankfully I had backups on my computer.

EDIT:

*sigh* speaking of CWM, I was flashing from the downloads to verify the uploads were actually good.. and apparently the recommended bloat file wouldn't flash... so I'm re-uploading a new, good copy. Should be up before anyone even reads this. But, if you got a bad download just try again.

This is why after every CWM backup I plug my phone in and backup the backup to a computer.

Installed and tested first two important things for me.

GPS - Worked great! Locked way quicker then w/ most ROMs.
Skype - My outgoing video is upside down. If I flip over the phone the camera flips as well and remains upside down.

Honestly? I am having the same GPS issues I've always had.... Which is to say it is terrible. Worse than my vibrant was... but I've had these issues on every G2X Rom. I used the same GPS config here that worked perfectly 1 week ago on a 1000 mile trip, locked fine 3 days ago, but today I can't get a lock despite being able to see 8 satellites with gps test. To say I'm getting sick and tired of broken GPS is an understatement.

Glad to hear the GPS is working for someone At least.

The Skype issue is due to Skype itself. If you check the skype forums a lot of phones have the same problem. It was fixed in cm7very recently. When i was using lg cam, it was sideways. Regardless, the camera files are bone stock. Also the video in gtalk is right side up.

on my mt4g my ffc for outgoing video was always upside down, but if i edit the build.prop line for ro.manufacturer to samsung & ro.model to nexus s it would flip it right side up... i wonder if something like this would work for g2x?...

Yeah, on Weapons 2.6+ I had a working GPS, now on 3.0 it's not working. May give this ROM and shot and see what happens.

The video was actually working fine for me while using the last OTA based Eaglesblood ROM. Same camera.

Don't care. It's Skype - I did not TOUCH the camera. Go check the Skype forums, tons of phones have this problem.

EDIT: Just looked at the last OTA EB Rom. He uses LG Cam. I have stock camera. NOT the same camera. If you want LG Cam, go for it, but for me LG Cam had rotated video in Google Talk.

EDIT 2: Just tested Skype. It is certainly usable, but you have to be in Landscape mode. I tried it in portrait mode, and the video was upside down with auto-rotation enabled on the phone. When I turned to landscape, it was CORRECTLY oriented. If I had auto-rotation disabled, Skype forced me to landscape mode, where again, it was CORRECTLY oriented. Looks like the only problem is portrait mode.

Again, the problem ultimately is SKYPE... There may be workarounds, but ultimately that's what they are is workarounds.

    BakaG2X 2011-11-20 (Final 2.3.3 Version - OR IS IT?)
    ---------
    NOTE:
    --

    Here is a pretty clean and basic ROM based on the LG 2.3.3 OTA.
    It is designed for those who want a good clean base to do their OWN addons to, while removing more bloat than was added.

    This is the FINAL release of BakaG2X on 2.3.3. I will also release a 2.3.4 ROM, but it will be offered separately.

    WiFi Calling is included as T-Mobile's signal is horrible. Thank you.

    UPDATE NOTES:
    This version cleans up a few things in the theme primarily, and sets a couple of tweaks that weren't done before. Not a big change over the previous version. The only build available comes with Wifi Calling. If you don't WANT wifi calling, you can simply remove Kineto.apk from the /system/app folder, and I recommend doing so if you don't use it.

    The biggest theme change can be seen on the notification pulldown here, and I've updated that screenshot.

    As before, bloat is available in the various bloat packs. If you have downloaded these before, you don't need to download them again, there have been no changes to those packs.

    ---------
    CORE BUILD FEATURES:

    • 11/20 - ICS Animations (capez) - tweaked animation speeds
    • 11/20 - Remove Battery Full & Battery Low Warnings but I LEFT the last Shutdown Warning..
    • 11/20 - init.rc support
    • 11/20 - Increased SD Read Ahead Cache to 3072
    • 11/20 - zipalign new apk's on bootup
    • 11/20 - new quick panel icons from O2X (smaller / textless)
    • 11/20 - shell utils: bash/nano/sysrw/sysro (if you don't know don't ask)
    • 11/20 - a few theme tweaks (notification ticker, carrier text, etc)
    • 11/17 - Three Flashable "Bloat" packs. You probably want at least one. SEE BELOW.
    • 11/17 - Google Talk with Video
    • 11/17 - Google Music (replaces stock Music.apk)
    • 11/17 - Toggle 2G Settings & Widget (TheMasterBaron)
    • 11/17 - Updated Google Apps as of 11-17.
    • 11/17 - busybox & su binaries updated.
    • Reboot/Recovery Menu (untermensch / sicopat)
    • Quick Panel Settings (dreamsforgotten)
    • Accurate Battery Mod
    • Removed LG Update process (was running all the time using ~10-20mb)
    • Updated Google Apps as of 11/15
    • CM7 Apps: Torch, E-Mail, Keyboard, Calculator, Sound Recorder
    • GPS Tweaks for USA. SuplRootCert added.
    • Misc build.prop edits (for gps/modversion/adb persist notify off)
    • Adblock Host file.
    • Theme bits (startup/shutdown/Roboto font/CRT Off/Lockscreen, etc)
    • Of course it is fully zipaligned.

    Note: All Bloat Packs install to user applications, so you can uninstall bits you don't want.
    - This of course means you'd need to reflash Bloat packs if you happen to wipe.

    BLOAT PACK 1: Recommended Bloat
    • Titanium Backup Free (it will detect if you have Pro key saved on SD)
    • MIUI Music
    • CM7 File Manager
    • Battery Calibration Tool
    • Wallpapers / Ringtones installed to SD for easy removal.

    BLOAT PACK 2: Bloat T-Mobile Thinks You Want
    • AppPack, Books, T-Mobile-TV, Polaris Office, My Account,
    • Magic Smoke LWP, Visualizations LWP, Telenav, Zinio
    • Tegra Zone, NFS Shift, Nova.

    Bloat Pack 3: Something I want and you probably don't.
    • Japanese Samsung iWnnIME Keyboard


    KNOWN ISSUES - BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN NO SURPRISES
    - Bluetooth may crash upon pairing. This is fixed in my 2.3.4 Rom, Tsugi.
    - Kernels: I have tried both Faux123 and DragonG2X. They boot & Run, but have their own known issues. Cannot support them.
    - Lockscreen lag. This is an issue with any LG based ROM. Some report it doesn't happen if you use certain 3rd party launchers.
    - Toggle2G will ask for root permissions on bootup, and be denied automatically. You'll see a popup about that that goes away on its own. If you want to use the app, just open it manually and it will bring up the normal SuperUser prompt where you can approve superuser permissions.
    - Stock Camera. If you want LG-Cam, you know how to get it.
    - On the FIRST BOOT, the Media process will sometimes FC. It does not do this AFTER the first boot, and it doesn't always do it.

    DOWNLOAD

    CORE DOWNLOAD (REQUIRED): http://www.multiupload.com/6OWAQ1AWHK

    TESTING ICS ANIMATIONS: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19495046&postcount=78 - get the framework-res.apk and push it to /system/framework. Not flashable.

    OVERCLOCK KERNEL: Faux123's 1.3 Kernel with FIXED BOOTUP TIME (Now boots up normally instead of rebuilding dalvik every time)

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Flash the CORE DOWNLOAD first. Then flash any Bloat Packs you want. The Bloat Packs are not complete Roms. You must flash the CORE DOWNLOAD first, then select and flash any Bloat packs while you are still in CWM, or you can flash them later. Bloat packs don't wipe.

    Alrighty, in the spirit of knowing that everyone loves to test stuff ;)

    Here's a test build of BakaG2X for 12-09. It won't become the final because I have some more plans for the final version, but it's updated nonetheless, and I want to test it a bit before adding anything else:

    1. CarHome from CM7
    2. add Bloater, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup
    3. fix bluetooth sound.ogg issue (would crash sometimes on pairing)
    4. init.d scripts from tsugi

    It does still include the darker pulldown shade that BakaG2X had, which IMHO looks better than the one in Tsugi, but can be hard to read if an app forces black text on the notification - which they should not do but they do.

    Really, there's not many changes. Honestly, Tsugi didn't get much in the way of new features over what I'd done in Baka because I spent so much time chasing bugs. *sigh*... Plus, this still has the reboot/recovery power menu options which *appear* to be working correctly at this time. I haven't tested for 0% shutdown issues (they may or may not be present, never got a good answer on that).

    Consider it, at this time, a minor maintenance update. The biggest thing (for me) is the inclusion of Bloater (to which I plan to add more LG/G2X specific apps). You shouldn't need the Bloat Pack anymore since Bloater is much easier to use. Also, Bloater installs to /system/app to save your data space, and the Bloat Pack put stuff in data. So I wouldn't use the bloat pack at all.

    The only thing i've done to this rom is delete the wifi calling app "Kineto", I dont use it and dont like it running in the background.. Im trying to save/conserve as much battery juice as possible...
    I dont use the FB or Twitter app and my battery last almost twice as long, went from about 6hr to about 12hrs now...
    Anyone who wants more battery life, delete ur FB-Twitter (ect.) apps and just make a shortcut to your bookmark from browser of choice, for FB/Twitter..ect if u want to enable notifications just go to the website and enable email notification, thats my work around and its improved my battery life a great deal

    The OP was updated with the 11-20 changes :)

    Sorry about the media force close... It has happened to me, then it went away... I *think* it's due to the media scanner hitting a file on the sdcard that it can't scan properly... but maybe not. If anyone has a clue, I'll slip in a fix. However, like you, I've only ever seen it on FIRST boot.

    Okay, I think I've reached the limits of some of the issues in 2.3.4 I can fix... I just realized how much time I've been spinning my wheels with problems that just won't seem to go away.

    We all know 2.3.3 has its own issues as well... But they're different issues.
    I have tested 2.3.3 and Bluetooth seemed to work better for me than it does on 2.3.4 ... however, I do still believe 2.3.4 is a little more stable when NOT using bluetooth. So really, it's about compromise.

    So, soon I'm going to update BakaG2X to match Tsugi's fixes and features.

    The next update on BakaG2X will just update to what Tsugi already has and it will be a FULL WIPE ONLY update. After that, I'll use the Intelligent Installer for no-wipe updates. I might need a couple of days for everything to bake and make sure I don't introduce new issues, but do expect to see an updated BakaG2X soon.
