Root CM11 CAF Build Alpha2

@Bad_MOFO_33 I added this line to my build prop to possibly help with mtp and hopefully the charging thing. I won't be able to test it with a USB cable until I get home though. I opened terminal emulator and entered:
Su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
Reboot

I'm probably wrong but I figured it was worth a try :)

I have to check the kernel defconfig, to be sure mass_storage is enabled
edit: mass storage is not enabled; will set after my latest build completes
 
hey mofo,

not sure how much it matters but in your mofotest2 defconfig you have CONFIG_LGE_PM_BATTERY_CAPACITY_3000mAh is not set and CONFIG_LGE_PM_BATTERY_CAPACITY_2450mAh=y, in stock lg source 3000=y and 2450 is not set. maybe that will help some things?

edit: also i see you have shiny new developer badge too! nice job!

edit 2: there are battery calibration files in /arch/arm/mach-msm/lge that seem to rely on the above settings from what i could see

bad_mofo, add the eri.xml inside this zip to /device/lge/x5/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml. it will solve the roaming indicator off issue at least for virgin, probably not boost or sprint models though. gonna have to figure out a way to support 3 carriers on one rom, shouldnt be too hard but there are a lot more pressing issues at the moment lol.

im still looking about video camera and am close to having data solved. built a caf rom with your kernel and slightly modified quarx2k device and vendor sources, seemed to get just a hair further with it than my decaf rom. sound works a lot better with your kernel and quarx2k's device and vendor source than on my decaf rom. might decide to drop decaf cm11 soon and just work on this with you since you made pretty great progress and are at or above the same level my rom is at.

did you do anything special to get gps working? i have tried just about everything on decaf cm11 and your caf cm11 and cant get it to find satellites. would definitely appreciate any insight you have into this.

oh and i looked at the hammerhead sources on google code, and they have a lot of values-mcc310_mnc120 (i know i didnt type that right but i think you get the point) in overlay that we dont have, i added a lot of them relevant to our device but still cant for the life of me get sms and mms working with stock cm app. theres still something wonky with apn settings that is proving to be a real bear to track down.

edit: oh jeeze, almost forgot. fm radio works! i tried it out the other night on a local classic rock station and it worked just fine with headphones as antenna.

howdy, i am just starting to use android again and would like to help with this cm11 build for the LG Volt. I'm in ##LG_VOLT on freenode if people would like to brain storm and come up with ideas

I think maybe we should start pulling from Cyanogenmod github as it is updated more frequently.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_msm8226
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_w7

obviously need to edit for our device. Will try to build on it tommorrow morning using @whoshotjr2006 latest device snd vendor commits.

i pulled the device tree from cyanogenmod, the vendor tree from quarx2k, and the kernel from you.

i wouldnt use my github stuff, its hackish and pretty much only good for decaf cm11. use these instead, they are modified quarx2k trees that are way cleaner than my github stuff but seem to be in good shape for us. sound works, fm radio works, apns are still wonky, eri is fixed, sms/mms still borked, gps questionable, emotional_led still disabled, and video camera and nfc still wonky. other than that, in good shape with working mtp storage.

edit: the attached zips are good to go, builds just fine on my end.

Good to hear, I'll upload the device and vendor trees when I get a chance. I know the stock SMS app wasn't working still, was MMS or SMS working with any other app? Also I remember someone saying MMS and LTE didn't play well together, can you guys tell me if that changed?

Jothe just to clarify and make sure it wasn't a typo, you can make calls with LTE on?

Yes it was on when I made a call went through talked for about 5min. No problem

@whoshotjr2006 what was it that fixed data? just that eri.xml or is there more to it?
I may need it for cm12

There is more to it than just eri. I'm away from my PC right now but if you look up bigmajster's optimus l90 cm11/12 github stuff from XDA, he has a ril folder in his device tree and that's what fixed it.

Also, by chance do you remember what you did to fix GPS?

Edit: as a side note, we still need to fix SMS/MMS, NFC, GPS, video recording and check into getting the home led running right. Not too bad considering where we started.

funny im using bigmajster's kernel and device tree for my cm12 build.
as far as gps, I dont remember but it may have been in the defconfig, or device tree. I dont remember whos kernel i was using, i may have used crxteam g2m kernel then???

That's awesome lol. Thank god for all those l90 and g2 mini guys, if not for them we wouldn't have anything on the volt.

Did you happen to see anywhere on his XDA thread if they have phone and data working on l90? I never caught if they did or not.

GPS is really flaky for me, it works when it wants to. Your caf cm11 from a while back GPS works every time, and it worked like once or twice on the device tree I have now, but now I can't get anything. I'm really quite stuck there.

I think phone and data are working for the l90 and g2m dont see it listed as a bug overthere.
I didnt read through all the pages, but i think they(l90/g2m) were also having spotty problems at first, but most should be worked out.
Gps would never connect for me while indoors though.

P.S. Have you checked out lollipop? still lots of bugs but it boots now. Its like a pre--alpha now.
