Root [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

I'm also having a problem with the new build. The status bar is transparent on my lock screen, goes black on my home screen, and back to transparent with whatever else I bring up. Also, I can't seem to change this no matter what option I select under status bar appearance.

Use the IP address listed and add port 5000 to use ADB via WiFi, ie: adb connect 192.168.1.123:5555 (replace IP address with your phone's)

Jerry this part I'm not getting really:o Do I tick (use static ip and then something, or something I input on my desktop)?

You look up your phone's local (ie wifi) ip address under
Settings>>Wireless & network>>Wi-Fi settings
Press your menu key and select Advanced, look for your IP address ;)

Set it to a custom color option, then reboot. ;)
 
OK, using the latest build which I had previously downloaded via wifi on the same build (loaded right after I built it), I redownloaded the ROM and GreenMachineTheme zips from the links posted here.

I then checked the md5sum of the downloads on the phone using terminal.

I then booted into recovery and wiped cache, and under advanced wiped dalvik cache.

I then flashed the BACKside zip file, and then the GreenMachineTheme zip file.

I then rebooted, and waited patiently for my phone to fully initialize
(I always wait 5 minutes on first boot before touching the phone to let it fully load up ;) )

While waiting, I saw the wifi icon engage (turned white then green) before the phone went to sleep during first boot up.
(took about 7 seconds)

I then unlocked the phone, swiped the screens around a bit to be sure there was no lag left, used the Power Control widget to turn wifi off, counted to 10 slowly and turned it back on. It reconnected to wifi in about 10 seconds.

I then opened my browser and loaded up several webpages, opened the Market, streamed some music via TuneIn Radio, watched a YouTube video, and checked scores on Score Mobile.

There have been no changes to wifi in the code for a couple of months. My only conclusion is that the ROM's wifi is fine. Sorry to say, but it may take a complete wipe/format/reinstall-restore to fix whatever issues you may be having.
 
I have the WiFi problem too. I did a complete wipe and format. When I turn WiFi on it never shows available networks and the WiFi box unchecks itself after about 10 seconds. Never had a problem with the previous builds. I'll play with it some more later. Have to get ready for work. :(
 
If your WiFi box unchecks itself then your router is not recognizing your phone. Sometimes it's just a matter of typing in your password correctly. Sometimes you need to turn the router and phone off, then turn back on after 5 min. Try password again.

Turn phone off.
Then Hold home+volume down then power button, all at the same.
When you see the LG logo, let go of buttons.
It will boot into your recovery.
Then go here http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...tory-reset-your-rooted-phone.html#post3263770
Start right after it shows were the phone has booted into recovery.

Thanks, I got into recovery. Not sure why it didn't boot into recovery last night. Through adb I can tell that this is a Hitachi screen. I'll have to research this more to find the best rom & recovery to use with this phone.

I don't have an option of typing a password as it never sees a wifi network, Usually about a dozen, besides my home, will show up. I'm at work now and there are none showing here either. Usually there is one for password and one for guests.

Router is not the problem phone didn't see anything which normally shows about 5 places around my house including our free city WiFi. It showed nothing at all. I always do a full wipe on every update so it wasn't that and when I restored my backup, thankfully I always backup and keep the last release on my card just in case, everything worked fine. I'll try to download it again sometime today, mediafire was acting strange last night, and reflash and see if that works hopefully it does.

On a side note Jerry, any progress in implementing an Ics or ripple type lockscreen, the icon is the same as the ones you just put in.
 
I noticed no wifi issues with new build. I do notice that after flashing the activate bootsounds there is no sound during boot. I've wiped Dalvik and Cache 2x but still no sounds. So don't know what's going on there. Other than that all seems to be running quite smoothly after a few reboots.
 
I'm beginning to think I have a bad download. And once I have a good download I'll update my themes. I don't want to use bad files and screw everyone's rom
 
One of the reasons I always check the md5 sums after a download. It's easier to check md5 sums than rewipe, reflash.

I use Android File Verifier .

@Jerry or anyone else concerning adb...
I'll put it another way, the trouble I have is not where in the network menu this is, I don't know what to do with the resulting address you describe in the last part of your instructions. Do I input this number I end up with into like say Astro file manager for network location, or something else in (network menu settings)? Sorry if I'm being overly dense about this.
 
Second download still no go. How do I check the md5 using my phone?

Found an app called check md5 and it matches. I did a full wipe md5 matches I didn't add anything else so I have no idea what the issue is. I also did not change a single setting my second time around.

On a side note seeing as the download is not bad I will update my themes.
 
Those who had wifi issues, are you using the factory reset option in recovery? I've had two reports of people who did, and it borked their wifi. Once they installed an older backup/build, and then installed the newer one again without doing a factory reset in recovery, and only wiping cache and dalvik as instructed, got their wifi back.

Just for safety, I did a new build this morning without the ftmpower binary. Shouldn't make any difference, but better safe than sorry. Use the new BacksideUpdater to grab the 01192012 build. ;)
