turns out that since i never pushed my vendor/cyanogen changes to github, it got lost in a sync somewhere. i have a bad habit of pushing borked updates. new build is.. building.. as i type. expect it tomorrow morning (or very late tonight, depending on how late im up.)

I'm still missing some Widgets and apps after flashing the latest... :(

Well.. is the app moving actually working? There could be stuff I still missed. Actually, I'm 90% sure I forgot something. I'll fix it tomorrow. Sleep time

Just checked. Forgot to make it copy the 10apps2sd script. You could pull it from an older version if you want it working. Or wait till tomorrow for the next update

fixed (hopefully, everything looks right to me) update is being uploaded. same link, same file name.

Apps are back, but I'm still surprised to see the ADW for Launcher2 Swap. Did you decide that ADW was better/faster/more efficient, or...? :confused: (It's only an issue for me because I'll have to re-layout my desktops/widgets etc.) Just curious about the swap...

It should have launcher2. I decided launcher2 is better a long time ago. Just checked and the zip has launcher2. Maybe you installed adw somehow? Or maybe the cm backup feature kept adw during the update? I know the rom has launcher2

Odd. I was running your previous version, only did a cache and Dalvik wipe, then flashed this one. ADW is the one that comes up every time...

Where can I find Launcher2 to install? Don't see it in the Play store...

I'd suggest downloading and flashing again (just to be safe)

Launcher2 is the stock launcher, so it's not in the play store. Which is a big reason why it's what I use in most of my roms

I got ADW also but I use Go Launcher so did not know it was not right.

Well... I checked the zip again. There's no adw in it at all. Just launcher2. So I have no idea what's up. All I can say is flash again. It gives me launcher2 every time.

As much as I love this ROM, this version has been a dud for me so far...

For some reason, when I display my apps, they're all scrunched and distorted in the lower-right quadrant of my screen. Not good.

Just tried a complete wipe and flash, and the phone rebooted while downloading Titanium backup from Google Play... Bleah.

Nandroid Restore, stat!! :eek:

I have no problems at all. Not sure if it's the right thing but I have a FM app now, no way to try it yet.

    Welcome to my new thread. Here I will post my various random optimus v stuff. I am not too experienced with this kind of thing and I really like to experiment, so expect periods of frequent updates with small changes followed by periods of few updates where I fix everything I broke and decide what to do next.

    Now for what you came here for!

    Roms:
    iho magpie:
    This is MY rom
    features:
    -launcher2
    -my kernel
    -fm.apk removed
    -magpie apps2sd-ext (see below)
    -backside updater (thanks jerry!)

    magpie:
    This is the way i think moving apps to ext should be done. There are no extra apps, no scripts, no flashing extra stuff, no breaking on rom updates. It is all built in to the ROM's framework.
    magpie is a kang of the a2sd feature found in cm5, ported to cm6 and 7 by @firer4t. Just go into the manage apps menu, and there is now a button to move to ext right next to the usual move to sd one. it just works. moving apps back is as simple as pressing the move to phone button. simple, works.

    pure build:
    this is a nearly pure build of iho, only differences are the removal of fm.apk, and the use of bobzhome v3.7 kernel

    note: gapps are not included in any of my roms. get that from your favorite place to find gapps

    downloads:
    https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc_common/wiki/Binary

    my kernel:
    i took bobzhome's kernel and applied the -ck patchset to it, added the sio scheduler, and several other tweaks. the result is bobzhome's kernel, tweaked for responsiveness
    for those who didn't understand a word i said, here you go: i took bobzhome's kernel and tweaked it to be more responsive and less likely to lag. enjoy
    dl - tvall_kernel_v0.3.3.zip
    source - https://github.com/tvall43/android_kernel_thunderc

    Thanks goes to:
    Blarf - for the awesomeness of iho
    BobZhome - his awesome kernel which mine is based on
    Jerryscript - the updater
    Mrg666 - various patches and fixes
    LeslieAnn - the forum, build server, and ftp server
    Gannon - being awesome
    Curiousnoob - laughs
    My girlfriend - for putting up with my dev work and loving me despite the amount of time I spend doing this

    Your kernal is great! Amazing how responsive it is. Thanks for putting it together!

    How to build my rom in 7 easy steps.

    Step 1: set up a Linux or Unix (os x is supposed to work, never tried personally) box for building by following the directions at [ http://source.android.com /URL] and [URL=http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com]wiki.cyanogenmod.com
    Step 2: for the repo init command, the url is https://github.com/tvall43/android.git -b gingerbread
    Step 3: go watch TV or something while you're running repo sync. It WILL take a while.
    Step four:
    Code:
    $ . build/envsetup.sh
    $ lunch
    (Select device, the optimus v is number 8 I think)
    make bacon
    Step 5: feed your cat(s)
    Step 6: wait for the rom to build
    Step 7: if it works, celebrate! If it doesn't, figure out what went wrong.

    How to build my kernel in 3 easy steps (assuming you have followed the above or similar steps)
    1: git clone https://github.com/tvall43/android_kernel_thunderc.git
    2: cd into it
    3: ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=(path to toolchain. Ex. ../magpie/prebuilt/linux-x86/whatever..) make -j(# of CPU cores)
    4: modify the build.sh script to save you time next time you build

    How to build my fork of the tomato firmware for my wifi router in one easy step.
    Step one: well... one, you are on the wrong site for that. Two, I haven't released any source or binaries of that. and three, there is no point to use it, ive only changed a few things

    COPYING:
    Android and linux is open source. feel free to do whatever you want with the sources (but be sure to keep within the terms of the licences. linux is gpl2, android is mostly apache2)
    For the binaries I release, please ask before you use them as a base for other projects. I cannot think of any situation where i will say no, but its nice to receive a pm. (If I don't reply within 3 days, go ahead and do what you wish, but send me another pm quoting this post)

    Finally got a good build
    http://vmroms.com/~vmstorage/magpie/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-magpie-240512.zip
    The updater currently isn't going to work. It fetches the manifest from my server, and someone needs to pay the internet bill. So flash the old fashioned way for now.

    Also got a new kernel. http://vmroms.com/~vmstorage/magpie/tvall_kernel_v0.3.3.zip

    Note: I no longer post anything on androidcentral. So check here or at vmroms.com for updates

    just pushed the may 4th update of my rom.
    changes:
    - kernel updated to zv9 (LG released around midnight)
    - radio info shows in settings
    - may the fourth be with you

    get it from the iho wiki or the updater
