It's not like any of us really call Verizon needing remote access support. That's why we all rooted and installed GingerVolt in the first place

Not wanting it on the phone was the point.

Wait till it gets rooted, download Root Uninstaller and get rid of it.

OTA updates still automatically download and ask to update. Can rom maker possibly remove this?

I'm sure MT will, but give him time, it's not like he works for us, he does this in his spare time.

in the mean time does anyone know where this file gets downloaded to? After I deferred it, I wasn't able to update an app due to insufficient memory, and I bet it was that dumb file sitting on my memory somewhere, I'll go delete it through root explorer, I just need to know where it is.

It sits in cache. Wipe cache and you should be fine.

I had same out of memory issue and couldnt find any files to delete either, so I just rebooted phone and no more memory issue.

MT answered that issue, all you had to do was wipe cache partition in recovery.

I'm looking for a way to force the audio to come from the headphone jack while I am connected to a PC monitor watching videos from my phone.

Currently using a converter from hdmi to dvi

Only things I added to GingerVolt is the beats audio and IcS theme

I did try it in my wives phone and it did switch over to the headphone jack automatically as soon I plugged it in (she has stock unrooted revolution)

They are pushing an update. Do we have to do the update? Will it kill root? Is there a way to not do the update? The LG rev is my fathers phone and I know on my custom rom on my inc we don't get updates. What do I do? Please help.

If you have CWM the update cannot go through unless you have Stock Recovery so as long as you don't have the Stock Recovery you're fine.

So far I have tried wiping cache, dev cache, factory reset, reinstall GingerVolt 2.0, downgrading to GingerVolt 1.2 to see if that made a difference still no change. Just tried stock rooted as well and still no dice making it work the way I need it to.

Haven't yet tried tot back to OEM. If anyone has ideas on how to get the audio to play out of the headphone jack let me know. Thanks

I use the head phone jack for audio all the time in my car and have never had any problems on either stock or GB, although the volume is much too quiet in my opinion. if it's not working for you no matter what you do then it may be a hardware issue with the jack?

according to his previous posts, he's looking to override the HDMI output for audio when connected to a HDMI->DVI cable

Might want to add, as I found out the hard way, "You're Fine" if you don't rely on your phone for an alarm clock! UGH... Stupid update tried to install itself AT MIDNIGHT and got stuck on CWM. Not only did my alarm fail to go off, but my battery was down to 8% in the morning. It even tried it again last night. Luckily I was up past midnight and killed the update. I guess it's time to update it, lol...

One thing I have always said is LAME about Android devices.. Why in the world does it take 'software' to allow them to charge? If it's plugged in, it's plugged in and SHOULD charge... Got to be the lamest thing about these devices. I don't play with iCrap, so dunno if they act the same, nor would that be any reason for me to switch to proprietary junk, lol...

yeah I went ahead and did what I had to do to get the update. I always like having the latest software. Sucks I am not on GV right now but I figure MT will have something out pretty quick so it won't be long.

My g/f and I are both running GingerVolt 2.0 on our Revolutions. We have been happy with it, except for the OTA update which has been trying to push its way in. We both hit cancel for the update, only to find both our phones, mostly dead and in CWM recovery in the morning....after we overslept since the alarms didn't go off. Luckily my other phone, an old school flip phone is my backup alarm and we were able to just make it to work on time.

Now we have deferred for 24 hours, but we can't have this happen again.

I read above and wiped my cache partition, which subsequently reset everything on my phone. My data was there, all my apps were there (showing I did not factory reset), but it was asking me to sign up for backup assistant and all that wonderful first time start up stuff. Looking further into it pretty much all settings, accounts, preferences were wiped.

I read elsewhere that "freezing" the software update 1.0 service from running would stop the OTA update, but as a result my market no longer worked.

I am working on restoring from before my GingerVolt 2.0 update, and I will re-flash that, but most importantly this OTA must be stopped.

Is there a way to stop this OTA from popping up on our phones? Is there a way to stop the automatic download and install attempt from occurring?

thanks.

Try this for me, in root explorer go to /system/etc/security and rename otacert.zip with .bak at the end and reboot. Let me know if that works!

I renamed mine and restarted without issue. I'll let you know tomorrow morning if there is any weird error messages or anything from failed OTA when I wake up.

As always, thanks a ton for all you do MT.

Yes the audio plays fine through the headphone jack when the hdmi is not connected but the moment I plug the hdmi in it completely overrides the headphone jack.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can add to the build.prop file to get the audio to do what I am trying to accomplish. Really don't want to TOT back to OEM and be stuck with all the crapware

Have you tried Volume+ I noticed a big difference in the volume using it. Just turn it 1 level at a time for the headset section, until gets to the desired volume setting or until it distorts the audio (if it distorts the audio I go 2 levels below but that's just me). I have not used any of the other section in the apk.

I'll try that. I deferred to around 10:30am tomorrow so I am hoping this does the trick. I'll report back.
