how long should it take to download to my phone??? I am in a blue screen and it says
fastbot:processing commands?? What should I do
 
Made a donation. Thank you for all of your hard work on this. This is my first time loading a custom ROM on my wife's Android, although I have gone through countless hybrids on my BlackBerry. Still exploring, but I wanted to say thanks to you and all the other helpful members here :)
 
So I'm still pretty happy with V0.3. I really can't find anything to report. Stable, simple, fast - even faster now that I finally got a C6 sd card! Never had an issue with my calculator, A2SD, LED Flashlight, nothing. Very impressed. So now I just look forward to the release of V0.4. I saw a post a while back ago that asked for a "More Functional" (COOLER) unlock screen, I have no idea if that's included in V0.4, but I kinda hope so.
 
For some reason i can no longer install velocity. One day velocity crashed (everything would just force close, and nothing would load). So i flashed back to stock and when i attempt to reflash the rom with anything except a stock based ROM i get boot loops. HALP MEH!! lol

SO WITH THIS KERNNEL. I DON'T HAVE TO INSTALL GNM TURBO4 W/O KERNNEL????
I ROOTED W/ UNI ANDROID, THEN TRIED TO INSTALL GNMTURBO4 BEFORE INSTALLING LG Ally Kernel 2.6.29.6_GNM_OC ... IN ROM PRE-INSTALL, I CHECK BACPUP EXISTING ROM AND WIPE DATA AND CACHE... MY PHONE HAS BEEN STUCK IN VELOCITY B00T LOOP SINCE. 1. WHAT DID I DO WRONG? 2. HOW CAN I FIX IT AND ADD YOUR KERNNEL???
THANKS FOR ANY HELP,

To get that kernel to work right, I had to flash the TurboIV w/o kernel first. Cleared the caches, then flashed the new kernel. Cleared the caches again.
Hopefully you ran a nand backup before flashing, you can just recover back to the working state of your phone and try again.

Try reflashing the TurboIV w/out kernel rom, then clear the caches, and reboot back to recovery. Then flash the kernel and clear the caches again. When your phones boots to android it shouldn't get stuck in the loop.

Good luck. If you have any more trouble, highly recommend the IRC channel. the guys there are very helpful and knowledgeable and willing to help out with major issues.
 
wanted to say thank you so much for making velocity. now i use my android all day and i only have to charge it half as often. running oc at 728 748 and 787 showed no signs of trouble.
 
So the OTA update we should not install? How do I get the notification screen to stop popping up to install the update? Thanks for all the hard work on Velocity.
 
I just installed 0.3 over 0.2 and it seems to have a little lag over 0.2. For instance, as I type this, I'm get 3 or 4 letters ahead of myself and have to wait for it to catch up. 0.2 was instant.

Also, when was the baseband released? I went to update it but noticed the version in the file name is the same as what I have already. Does that sound right?

I'm also getting a syntax error from the velocityboot script. Looks like one of the lines has an unescaped or unclosed quote mark.

Something similar happened to me today. I went to put on GNM Turbo after using .3 since its release, I ended up with boot loops. I then restored back to .2 which worked fine but have tried flashing to .3 twice now and still getting stuck in boot loops. Thinking it may have something to do with OTA update which btw I ignored everytime it popped up.

Well if you ever get rooted again, I have erased a file inside the rom called SystemUpdater.apk is roughly 74.1 kb then resigned the rom and reflash it, it hasent had it ask me to update again.

oooor....

Type
Code: 
ota -d

in terminal emulator and press enter.
 
has anyone had an issue with their vibration?

I had 0.3 up and running for a few days, then suddenly my vibration stopped working. I called verizon and they authorized a warranty return, but after I reflashed the stock ROM, vibration came back. I reflashed to velocity 0.2 and all seems to be well again.

Do you think this is velocity related or should I go ahead and convince them to warranty out my phone?

i ran into this issue with 0.2 actually lol when i flashed to 0.3 i got it back.... its a velocity related issue but odd to see it happen the other way around
 
so after a bit of help from the fellows who populate the Ally Help IRC chat, i got velocity up and running, only thing is that my home button and send button dont respond to anything. (EDIT: they still wake the phone from a sleep state, but for some reason do nothing else)

has anyone else encountered this and if so, has a fix for it been made apparent, thanks!
 
CommodoreOfChaos i have the same problem , my home button does not work and when i hold down the power button it does not give me the airplane mode or the others options it just give me the power off option.

Does 0.3 include the tun.ko module? I'm currently running 0.2 (0.3 was giving me issues), but I want to get openVPN up and running. I see that the 2.6.29.6_GNM_OC kernel has it included. Is there an issue flashing this kernel to velocity?
 
I installed this on my ally and i couldnt get some things off the rom like the background ect...I dont remember what i did but i eventually got everything. I am trying to install this rom on my moms phone and it doesnt install the background and some other things. Any suggestions?? Thanks

It's best to have a class 6, but it will work with lower class cards as well.
