[ROM] Velocity V0.1.1 | LG Ally | Android 2.1 | ERE27 | Stable

Not open for further replies.
Ok so I got my Ally like three weeks ago and thought I got ripped off from the chuckle-head at the Verizon store for not going with the Droid! So, I decided last week to root, remove some of the BS stock apps (Amazon, VVM, Drive home, etc...) and was like, "Ok, this is ain't so bad". Then I heard of custom roms for the ally and saw a lot about Velocity 0.1.1 and decided, why the hell not?! I must say WOW!! F&%# the Droid, it's got a crappier keyboard and well, is very large! I love my Ally now. I do have a couple of issues (gmail notifications not updating without manual refresh, icons defaulting back to generic android icons, live wallpapers crashing, no cool weather widget, etc...) but all in all it is soo much faster now!! I mean, I am excited about the whole froyo update but it's hard to stay excited when the only hint at a release is "later on"! This is exciting, like I can hardly wait for Velocity 0.2!! Screw the corporate dev's man, they obviously have seriously underestimated the Ally and the following it has amassed, so you know it wouldn't surprise me in the least if V0.2 is better and faster than what LG's dev's are dragging thier feet on with regards to the 2.2 release for the Ally. So Trident for you my friend, I will ensure that you get at least enough for some Redbull, who knows maybe even a Nutrageous, but I'm poor so you might need a coupon! Payday is at the end of the week, till then, ROCK ON MAN!!

Oh and if anyone could help with the aforementioned issues, a great big thank you is in it for you!

No, I will not. It is not stable enough nor does it offer as many options as the custom kernel that is included.

Ah I see. Guess we'll have to wait for a release to find out the options this kernel includes? Either way, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Same, trident. I plan on donating to you soon as I get my next paycheck, but. I can't find your stinking paypal link thing.
 
Release of 0.2 more than likely not happening today.

"Trident (bryanowens):
I broke something in Velocity 0.2, so the release will be a bit delayed. I'll try to fix it tonight..."

Well that's disappointing, I've been looking forward to Velocity 0.2 D: Hopefully the delay doesn't take TOO long! But oh well, I know its going to be amazing once its out :D thanks for all your hardwork Trident!

You know, it's nice, but I've been having some really strange problems with it, like when using the keyboard sometimes the phone acts as if I'm on the home screen and holding the 'alt' key... pressing 's' brings me to my messaging application, 'y' to youtube, etc. I'd say don't use it unless you're okay with occasionally rebooting your phone.

I had issues using any form of internet (3g/wifi) so I just restored a back up. Its not like the phone is insanely slow as is, plus I need all the battery life I can get. I'd be happy with a stable kernel that is OC'd just to 700mhz with it set to downscale when the phone is asleep.

Also, just read that Trident smashed that bug that broke Velocity and is expecting a release late tonight.

that happens to my phone too, the fix is to press the search button below the screen, then press the back button :) it beats rebooting the phone. hah
