[Q] General help and info! (Optimus V) - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi, Just wondering if there is a wiki for the Optimus V that has info on current recovery's, ROMs and how-to's? I sold my VM intercept and just picked up a Optimus V and have been combing the net (mostly here and Android Central) trying to get my phone as customized as my intercept was. I am confused about some things and am hoping some of your guys could set me straight...
- The Gingerbread beta roms have one universal problem, no SMS or MMS messaging. Is this right? Is there any gingerbread roms for the optimus V that have fixed these issues??
- Does anyone know how to simply remove the Virgin Mobile boot-up animation and sounds safely?? Just so it skips over that on boot therefor starting the phone faster??
- I have flashed the Clockwork recovery to my phone using RomManager today, is there any other recovery's with more features? Can anyone list off the current known and working recovery's available?
- Can anyone list off the current known ROM's for the Optmus V? Can anyone recommend a ROM that has MMS and SMS working??
- Do you recommend I use data2ext on the Optimus V? Is there a proper guide for installing it? Has anyone who has installed it get a noticeable increase in performance?
- For those of you coming from the Intercept, Is there an App or Mod that changes the notification panel to show the Toggles on top? Like disable Wifi, Silent, Vibrate and such as the intercept had? I know there are widget for this but having them on the notification bar was pretty nice!
- Is there any site that has good themes for this device?
Thanks in advance for any help/input on these questions! My plan is to start a wiki dedicated to this device and it's tools/mods/roms/recoverys and have an organized place for the mass of information! thanks!

[Q] b63m - Access to Sound and Notification

Hi
I have received my new b63m android phone few days ago. After a google maps udpate I can not access to the sound and notification section anymore. There is nothing on Settings menu and no icon on Home.
so I can not change my ringtone anymore !
Does anybody have an idea how I can get back the ringtone menu ?
For people who have a b63m, from where do you access to this section ?
Sounds
It's in Settings/Audio Profiles
Can you change the ROM to a custom one? Let's say... Cyanogen.
Do you recommend this phone for people who needs a dual-sim?
Thank you.
It is possible to flash custom roms, there is even one that looks like cyanogenmod.
It is developed bij "The Scorpions" at the Italian Techno forum.
The phone is very well suitable for 2 sim operation.

[Q] CM7 questions

Hi,
Today I ahve installed CM7 the first time on my Atrix (last weeky build). This is a great ROM, highly customizible. Though I'm back to the darkside, I will definitly switch to CM7 in the future. I was toying with CM7 for 1 hour and I have some questions:
1) Is there any way to show network type icon in the status bar (G/E/3G/H) when wifi is on?
2) Is there a theme that exactly copies Atrix motoblur interface?
3) How to add vibration on fingerprint unlock?
4) Is the battery life better in comparison with the stock 2.3.4 rom?
5) Could a single notification be removed like it could be removed in motoblur by pressing a minus sign on it?
Thanks!

1)don't think so. Maybe a mod?
2)there are over 300 themes and there is a Moto one as well as Samsung and HTC.
3)not sure about this one either
4)I think battery life is better for me cause all the Moto bloat is gone so I'm just running what I want. And alot of the 3rd party apps I would have to get on stock are included into cm7 suck as torch and scrwenshots .
5)Notification can be cleared singly by swyping them.(though I find it a but difficult sometimes)
I hope I helped u some
Thanks AtriXDA Developers!!!
Thanks! More questions:
1) There was no AGPS option in "Location & Security" settings, how to enable AGPS?
2) There were no transition animations on the stock CM7 theme. How to enable them? Do CM themes contain transition animations?

[Q] CoolHoney-3D v6 ROM - some questions

Hi
I am enjoying running CoolHoney on my Flyer - thanks to all devs involved. It's really stable and everything works, as far as I can tell.
Three things I am apparently missing.
On the ROM development thread it says it supports cpu scaling but I can't find that in my settings anywhere. Do I need to flash a particular kernel?
Also I would like to be able to activate 270 deg rotation please, as I like to hold the tab with the headphone socket at the bottom. I think I had this option when I ran dexter's Jelly Bean ROM but CoolHoney doesn't seem to have the option. How can I enable this please?
[edited to remove q about lockscreen: answer found already on forum, sorry]
Thanks for any advice.
CPU settings are accessed in the app "Daemon Controller" (or something like that, I don't have my Flyer with me right now).
Thanks for that, yes there is a daemon app pre-installed. I was looking in the settings instead.

[Q] Wanam rom 6.2 volume booster, keypad, messaging app

Hi, since I'm not allowed to post in Wanam's thread I thought someone might be able to help me with my problem. I installed today wanam's latest rom (v6.2, MB5) and coming from foxhound, I was looking for 'rom options' or kernel options or any other advanced options, which ... weren't present anywhere. So I started going through the installed apps and I found 'MusicFx 1.4' (thinking that it may have something to do with boosting speaker's volume) which has no icon (wasn't running in background either) and there is no possible way to open that app up, which I then uninstalled. However I am now looking for a volume booster as I live and work in noisy/busy areas and Samsung's extra volume won't do the job still. Wanam advised everyone not to restore any app from a different build (because of something to do with MB5) so I'm confused about installing any volume booster mod.
I was also wondering if there is any way that I can get the blacked keyboard (stock, but dark theme, black buttons rather than gray) on this rom ? If so, can anyone tell me how do I do it?
And the last question, is it possible to port the 4.2 messaging app into this rom ? Foxhound rom has an option in the aroma installer to choose it and I find it better, faster and more efficient than the standard 4.1.2 messaging app as it has a quick reply feature and many design customizations also.
To make it more clear, I'm running WanamLite ROM 6.2 MB5, stock kernel (the kernel that comes with the rom, i haven't made any changes to it, but as far as I know it's a little tweaked for better performance & battery life), Android 4.1.2 and I'm looking for:
-volume booster
-dark themed 4.1.2 stock keyboard (available in FoxHound ROM)
-4.2 messaging app (available in FoxHound ROM)
Many thanks.
Look for the default_gain mod or one of the sound mods posted .

NEW TO ANDROID! Looking for specific ROM.

Hello all,
As the title states, I'm completely new to Android. I've been with the iPhone for quite some time and have recently changed over to the HTC One. Everything is awesome so far, but there are a few annoying quirks I'd like to change to make it perfect. I've done a bit of research, but I guess my searching terms were a bit too specific? I'm looking for a custom ROM that is based on Sense 5 with 4.2.2 and WiFi calling so I can have the option to keep Blinkfeed, Zoe, TV apps and the ability to delete some of the preinstalled programs like Facebook and Twitter. In addition, I'd like to have the option to give the HTC logo wake device functionality. I believe this is done through installing the tbalden kernel? I'm looking at the Trickdroid ROM, as it seems that might be the closest thing to what I'm looking for, but in a video review I watched of it it seemed there was only a wake from volume rocker option. Also, it seems Wifi calling is unavailable at the moment? In any case, if there is something out there that you guys can suggest I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!

I can at least verify a lack of WiFi calling on all 4.2.2 ROMs. We will have to wait for the official T-Mobile ROM to drop or leak to get that functionality.

So once the 4.2.2 update comes out for T-Mobile HTC One's, we'll be able to have wifi calling capability with any 4.2.2 ROM ie. Trickdroid? Also, just a quick side question, I'm looking at the Trickdroid page and it says there is an option for the tbalden kernel, which is where the htclogo2wake functionality lies. Does this mean while installing Trickdroid, I'll have the option to install that instead of the stock kernel and have the options to map my HTC logo? Thanks!

To answer your first question, as long as the setup of WiFi calling is the same way as 4.1.2, then I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Awesome! Thanks, you've been very helpful! You wouldn't happen to have any experience with Trickdroid would u? haha
Trickdroid is great! I've been using it for quite some time and no issues. I use my cell as my work phone so reliability is big for me - and no problems... I haven't played too much with any of the kernels for the one but you will need to flash it separately. Welcome to Android!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
That's good to hear! And thanks for the welcome! I see on the Trickdroid page that the tbalden kernel is an option. Does that mean it's already built into the ROM and that I'll have the option to remap the HTC logo or is there something I have to do along the lines of choosing it during the ROM install? Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Trickdroid uses Aroma installer, which takes you through an install wizard (prone to freezing so don't worry if it freezes, just reboot and retry) and let's you select a bunch of different options, not sure if Kernel selection is included in that or not.
Thanks for the info. I just wanna get all the info I can before attempting my first custom ROM install. That kernel is pretty much the biggest thing I'm looking for, this power button at the top thing is getting a bit annoying.. lol Also, I have an unrelated question that I'm hoping maybe someone here could answer. I couldn't find anything through searching the forums. Are the sound profiles on our phones customizable? Every time I change profiles, I have to change the settings manually. For example, I want the vibrate profile to quiet all sound and just vibrate for everything. However, when I go back to normal and switch back to vibrate, the sound for notifications and alarms are back on. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of profiles??
No 4.2.2 based rom supports wifi calling so far. If you want a customized rom, try viper. You will addict to it.

So if I installed a 4.2.2 ROM now, would wifi calling be enabled when T-Mobile releases its official update automatically? Or will I have reinstall the ROM?

no. you will have to wait for the update for the rom your on for wifi calling. as far as roms go viper has the most customization by far and arhd is the closest to stock but i recommend viper as you can keep it stock looking or if you want to customize to your hearts content and i mean everything is customizable. and venom hub has the kernels that enable logo2wake and many other options available. happy flashing bro:highfive:
Ok, Thanks! I'll definitely take a look at Viper then. Also, are you saying that it has the tbalden kernel already built into it? As in I don't have to do anything separate in order to use logo2wake?

no. in the venom hub which is an app for viper rom it has all the compatible kernels and when you select it. it will download it and boot to recovery and flash it(twrp only cwm manual flash only)
cool, I'll definitely look into viper. So you're saying that it's based off of the sense UI and looks stock until you start customizing? Because that is exactly what I'm looking for. I want to have pretty much everything stock with the exception of the battery icon in the status bar, logo2wake and some other little things here and there. Also, is there an option to wake the screen when you get a text or notification without having to use a third party app? Seems like such a no-brainer for this to be a part of the phone stock, but for some reason is not.

My favorite Rom is the Google Edition Rom.
I wanted some AOSP but every rom i tried had terrible battery life (like 1% dropping every 3 minutes) with just using web browser. I tried ARHD GE, CyanogenMod, AHRD Sense version, faux kernel, aux kernel and elemental kernel and everything was kind of the same. Now im using Sense based Insertcoin ROM and i must say that battery life is way better and got rid of most of bloatware
