^ You must have installed Void Echo ... Nessy, Void and LOL 1.4 are the best custom roms right now ...

But I have been trying this after a disastrous few attempts with GB ( my battery would last no more than 18hours ) ... So what I did was I installed V10B, rooted it, installed custom recovery and flashed Milk's kernel ... installed launcher pro and froze LG Home with Titanium Backup ... Phone is smooth as silk ... Battery is fantastic ...

I get 1.5 days (minimum) with data connection fully on, 1 hour of calls, 20 msgs, sceen on for 3 hours (minimum brightness) and 4 hours of music ... totally satisfied ... Best of all, games like NFS shift run silky smooth (no overclock) ...

Today, my Optimus One went off and just refused to start up, no matter what I did. I don't understand what happened. Battery was 50% remaining. When given a call from my second phone, the O1 number would "ring" but nothing showed on my O1.

Finally, removed battery and reinserted. Then, the phone started again.

What should I do now? Did I do something wrong? This is the first time I noticed this problem...

Should I go back to V10b, unroot and take to the service center? I won't be able to recreate what happened... simply because I don't know why it happened.

What should I do? Need advice...

^^ i think is the cause of you opting for ext4 on a stock card. can you please benchmark your card? i maybe wrong but read this is XDA many times.

anyway installed recovery. now time for Void.

Hey,
was using andy's GB for 2-3 days.....though its relatively bug-free...its not at all a finished product and has quite a few bugs besides the major 2.
Now back on void #echo...ya sure I miss the zippyness of GB but void feels so elegant and stable. So I've decided to wait now till a really good and stable build of GB comes along.


@sam: which firmware are u using? v10_b? I remember when I had downgraded from v10_c, the phone was giving much better benchmarks...and was faster

anyway sam, u must try void #echo it is the best rom I used and stable as hell...Do a proper partition and wipe acc to instructions on xda forum void thread. If u need help...I'll ans ur queries. I guarantee phone will feel smooth fast. to confirm run neocore, u shud get 41-46 fps on stock freq with sound on, with sound off u get higher

@androidfan
which rom u using?
The problem u mentioned happens in GB rom...else it cud be due to the partitioning like sam said. Relax...dont wrry. :) also if u using a cover make sure...the proximity sensor is not covered.

Now do try this
firstly backup all ur data, reboot into recovery and partition and wipe everything, flash void #echo. run ur phone for a week or so and see if the problem occurs again...if it does only then get ur phone back to factory setting and original rom and go to lg service,else nothing to worry abt... lifes good :p

I am using Void echo. Tonight, I'll test the card speed and post it here as Sam has asked. Should I wipe everything, convert ext4 to ext2 and then reinstall Void?

Using void for a couple hours now. Smooth & bugfree. But till now market hanged once & thats it. But void came with all the default language packs. unnecessary wastage of memory.

@androidfan, just bench it. But most important have you overclocked the phone?

Yes, I have overclocked the phone.

I am setting the clock frequency back to 600 MHz and testing using SD Tools... Is there a better app that I might use?

Using SD Tools and Clock Speed 600 Mhz
Write Speed: 5.5 MB/s
Read Speed: 23 MB/s

What is the SD card problem everyone on the forum is talking about? Is that what might have caused my phone to "sort-of" shut down and not start until I removed the battery?

I have forgotten the app name. I'll test my card also tonight. Btw what modules are you using? Cause the answer to the problem may lie within these.

from my experience its either the overclock or you shifted cache to memory card also. run mobile on stock speed for 3-4 days. I'll run my mobile on stock speed. Here the weather doesn't allows such tweaks.

I had installed all the modules. I have just removed "Kernel" module
void. kernel-module (optional)

Based on the source released by drellisdee and AnyKernel Updater by Koush (buy them cookies)
Recompiled it in order to accept intermediate frequencies
Will be clocked at 730Mhz / interactive governor as default (recommended)


One of the installed modules include a2sd
void. a2sd/d2sd-module (optional)

Based on DarkTremor's a2sd script
Will not only do a2sd but also move the dalvik-cache to the SDcard through an init script I've written

Could this be a problem?

I am also disabling hardware acceleration "hwacc" module now...

2 modules that can cause problems. Also swype hanging a lot. Well the low class memory card will create problems & add to it you overclocked. Return to stock speed. This will isolate the problem with least hassle.

Afaik hw acceleration doesn't cause such problems.

@sam and @androidfan

Im using the following modules currently
a2sd
gapps
gingerbread
hwacc
tapps

Im using a sandisk class4 8gb microsd card and am having no problems watsoever. no hanging with swype, apps run well, ui is fast.
infact my write speed was only 4.5MB/s acc to sd tools read arnd 39MB/s and I do overclock while playing games.
Which version of dressidles custom recovery u guys using? Im still using v1.1. Ive heard tht the latest version of custom recovery ie 1.2.1 has caused some probs for a few ppl at xda forums. Im not sure...just guessing. Should not actually matter once u have successfully flashed the rom,but it could be that the ext partition is not being created properly by v1.2.1 of custom recovery

PS. use h2testw to test ur card on PC. reliable and also tells if card is genuine

Used h2testw (windows based program). My results...

Writing speed: 2.72 MByte/s
Reading speed: 9.96 MByte/s

My custom recovery version is 1.1 -- recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img

I have clocked down to 600 MHz. Lets see if the problem crops up again... Then I will really panic... :D

Also, originally, my SD card was 2 GB (came with the phone). I created 512 MB ext2 partition, then converted to ext3 and then to ext4. So, the remaining capacity should be 1.5 GB. But it is showing only 931 MB total capacity... in Windows as well as through Settings >> SD Card & phone storage

Cheers!

Swype hanged while replying in TDF's 1st subsection. then it went smooth.

also a Class4 (or higher) card really helps.

using custom recover 1.1 also. didn't tried to experiment too much as its not something you use everyday & the new versions don't bring something outstanding.

Also, originally, my SD card was 2 GB (came with the phone). I created 512 MB ext2 partition, then converted to ext3 and then to ext4.

without app2sd tweak, is there any use of the ext partitions? cause most apps will get installed in mobile.

So, the remaining capacity should be 1.5 GB. But it is showing only 931 MB total capacity... in Windows as well as through Settings >> SD Card & phone storage

Cheers!

WAIT. did you wiped the ext partition when you 1st tried void? cause i have a feeling that your card is taking space of 2 ext partitions.

Reformat and repartition your card using recovery ... The speeds are ok but not great ... try to keep your core apps on your phone memory ... like Launcher, keyboard, custom dialer etc ..

WAIT. did you wiped the ext partition when you 1st tried void? cause i have a feeling that your card is taking space of 2 ext partitions.

when you wipe, you are just formatting the contents of the ext partition only ... it does not delete the partition ....

and u cannot create two ext partitions using custom recovery ...

Most of my apps are installed on SD card... Void handles this automatically...

Sam, you have also used your stock 2GB card for installing Void. How much is your total SD card capacity now?

If I reformat and repartition the SD card, should I convert it to ext3 only? Also, will I lose Nandroid? I have kept a copy of my backed-up Nandroid folder on my PC. Can I recover all data if after reformatting, I copy backups back to Nandroid folder and then restore?

Or would I have to reflash Void?

Cheers!

how? i mean manually or using some other script?

the latest version of swype is not working on my phone. firmware version 2.2 v10b

you downloaded it using the link send to your inbox when you registered at swype site? if not, do it that way.

thats great. i didn't know that :smile:

Sam, you have also used your stock 2GB card for installing Void. How much is your total SD card capacity now?

yes. using stock card. 512Mb ext4. thats it. & 1Gb worth of songs.

If I reformat and repartition the SD card, should I convert it to ext3 only? Also, will I lose Nandroid?

loose Nandroid? hmmmmmm, interesting question.

Yes ... reformat and partition again .. It is safe to leave your ext partition as ext3 only ... as most ROMs dont have ext4 support ...

I don't use nandroid so I can't help you there buddy .. sorry ...

It would be advisable to reflash Void ...

how? i mean manually or using some other script?

I do it manually but I guess there are scripts that can do the same ...

And talking of scripts, if you are comfortable with it, might I recommend Ungaze's battery and performance tweaks (in XDA) ... I have been using it and my phone feels snappier ... PM or post here if you need any help with that
