[12-09-2010][Android SuperFroyo][Testers needed][Neopeek]

Sorry guys I won't retype everything twice now. Worked all the day to get this pushed out. Now I am kinda tired! So this is just a quick first post. I will update it later. The first SuperFroyo Release is available now!
As promised by you in the "Good News..."-Thread -< I need testers now!
Here is the link + download + instructions for the first release of SuperFroyo for X1:
Android SuperFroyo

reserved for my mama and papa...naaaah future updates!!

IM downloading it. I will report back as soon as posible.
THANKS. IM very excited

Good!!
I am waiting for about 4hours lol
I want to work camera this version
btw thxxxxx
P.s: Pardon my English TT

I am gonna Try It Tonight...... Thanks .. Neo.. And All Devlopers........ Cheers

Its faster than any previous version of android on X1 and more responsive.
its seems very stable.
When i enter SupSetup it crashes. I guess that is CyogenMod setup but it doesnt work.
First haret boot is long. But then its very fast. After i hit haret it enters android very fast.
Scrolling in file manager and menu gerneraly is faster. And phone wakes up very fast. Before i had to wait 0,5 second or 1 second to unlock phone...now its instantly up. Hope you understand me.
3d seems better. I dont know if 3dHW accelleration is enabled. Carom3d was running very slow on tremers21/8 like 1 frame per two second. And now with this its running like 3 frames per second. Improvement but 3d games are still unplayable.
Next problem its battery status. When im charging its showing CHARGING for few seconds then its instantly showing 100% wich is not true. Then when i unplug cable its showin 50% and droping to 40% like 1% every 2 seconds. I was like WTF. Its not showing the right value.
Sliding beetween screens seems a bit laggy.
Before on 21/8 tremers when someone calls me i have to wait 3-4 seconds before i could se who is calling. Now on this version its very fast.
On XPERIA X1 generaly the ONE button on top is used for turning screen on and of, and for turning phone off. In your android version that funcion you assined to bottom right button (Drop/Cancel Call Button).
even when i hold that button i cant enter POWER OFF button becouse it tuns off display just after showing POWEROFF option.
i will try to test battery life time.

Kernel panic - not syncing, no init found.
What is wrong, I did everything according to instructions (I think )

As I wrote on my site SupSetup is not available atm. I removed apk! For me this build runs amazing compared to my HTC Diamond (also SuperFroyo so I have the direct comparation). It's really incredible also for me how fast the display wakes up! My Diamond needs sometimes up to 3secs or doesn't even wake up...
I also encountered the prob with powering off. But you maqy remap the keys. Another solution is to press AND hold down poweroff-button and then touch the display with left hand for reboot/poweroff. This works for me.
Nevertheles I am really confused how good it works. I also tested Neocore by pushing it! It gave me 18FP/s without overclocking. Don't know it exactly but how much do you get on Trem's build?

I know you propably followed everything but this is what i did.
Formated SDcard. Created 3.650 (not exactly) Fat32 partition and 350 Ext2 partition.
Copied everything on Fat32 partition with haret.exe been on root. From WM6.5 first i launched install.exe from npkinstall. After reboot i started haret.exe from root of SDcard.
That is all.

You think Please try to start from scratch. Seems like you made a mistake somewhere. In most cases you didn't partition correctly. Try it out a few times. It will work cause this build for X1 is noob-friendly if you have partitioned correctly! 3 Steps:
* Partitioning
* Running install.exe within npkinstall-folder
* Running haret.exe from root
Maybe you can have a look at documentation-folder. It contains some jpegs to help you out...

And please how do i change the black notification bar to original white???

Yeah, thanks for help Neopeek and denyboy, I noticed that as I had followed the partition sizes in the youtube video, I had ended up with 580 meg ext2. I will format again to 350 meg ext2
We will see, I will post the results!

You can change it in settings. Move to spareparts blablabla. Somewhere you will find Notification colors. Adjust them and then reboot Android!

Dont follow that complex tutorial. Just boot ubuntu or any other gnu/linux go to Gparted and delete all partitions then create new FAT32 and new Ext2 with adeqate size. That all.
Or use any other software for partitioning for Windows or GNU/Linux

The build is preconfigured for ADB in froyo.user.conf. I thought some of you guys may help in logging via ADB to fix some bugs and providing logs via adb / ddms

I hope someone will help you finish this but im not expert. I guess tremere could assist you he did great work. You two combined should acomplish great things when it comes to Android on Xperia.

Ok, now it works! The Android just did not like my 580 meg ext2 partition
And phew, it is FAST!
The battery driver goes crazy sometimes.
By the way, you mentioned about overclocking in your post in the other forum, is it possible?

original notification bar has a textures. When i select simple colors like this it looks owfull. Any way to restore the default white one.

how is the battery life?

21/09/2010 [Xperia X1][FroyoRedux-Port][CM6][Testers needed][Neopeek]

http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/14-Android-ROMs/364-Xperia-X1FroyoRedux-PortCM6
check this neopeek testers need again....

Installing as I type! Can't wait the original kernel to get the battery related patches!

I am having a wired problem - after a while on standby, upon waking up the phone, it freezes. Clock doesn't advance and phone does not respond on buttons/slider. So I do a soft-reset after which in winmo I get a message sdcard is not formatted, do I want to format it. and indeed file system is damaged. And this happens for a second time in a row now! I havent had problems like that with other distributions, at least ones that require ext2 partition. Anyone have advice?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

well, i cant charge

So far, it's perfect. Two issues that need to be resolved before I use it permanently is the charging and the battery drain.
Getting really close!

Ok so far so good! BUT: Would you provide us a lil bit of more info!
Which kernel did you use? Included one (=21/8) or that from SuperFroyo??

Sorry, was in a bit of a rush
Working: Marketplace, WiFi, GPS, battery meter, sound, messaging, gmail app, browser, ( bluetooth, I think )
Not: Camera, charging, power management
Used: Only the included files, nothing more.

May anyone please test this kernel?
Test-Kernel
I am awaiting your feedback

Hey guys, my Galaxy S should arrive tomorrow.
@all Developers:
Thank you very much for the good work, keep it up
@the rest:
I wish you good luck, that you can enjoy android on your X1 as i will do it on my new phone.
Maybe i'll look back in here from time to time, to see the progress.
Best regards from germany
See ya!

report?
Total performance is smooth
My location , Wi-Fi, Market , Battery Meter , GMail, Sound, Music is working
other function. i didn't use it.
Overall performance is good, but Force Close dialog is too much show..... when i try to do anything. there's a delay (about 5~10sec?)

All of you guys should really post which kernel you are using. It will be very helpful for the developers!
I am downloading at the moment, will try the kernels and post the results
Original kernel + points about FroyoRedux:
- Charging works (I had it plugged when I launched Android, actually does increase WM battery percentage, too)
- Battery meter shows too much, but I think it will calibrate itself if I finish charging
- Speaker bug is there, headphone plug and unplug fixes that
- A bit faster than CyanogenMod6 with Tremere's kernel
- Nice theme
- Mass storage does not work (should I install a driver or something?)
- Sometimes stops responding to any other key than the top power button = home
- 3D does not work
- Sound and calling work fine, cannot adjust in-call volume (possibly due to the keys not working, but I had this problem with CM6+Trem too)
- Pretty much every app works, YOUTUBE TOO (lags a bit, but works)!
New testkernel:
- Phone reboots when first screen of android comes up
- I just replaced files, it crashed at lockscreen
- Ran a new installation, it crashed at black android system (title) -window
SuperFroyo kernel:
- Fastest one, menu scrolling is pretty nice with this kernel
- 3D does not work, Neocore crashes
- Sound works
- Youtube works, and lags less than with original kernel
- Charging does not work, battery meter shows what comes to it's mind

Tried copy/paste of those two files straight into root of SD-card (can only guess as it's not written anywhere). Phone reboots as soon as it comes to PIN-code page. Tried to restart a couple of times but nope.
Tried the SuperFroyo-kernel as well. Much faster in comparison to kernel from tremere's build 21/8.
Else, nothing more to add other then lkoljo wrote.
Big thx!

tried this kernel
xperia-xdandroid-kernel-20100922
Sound didn't work??

I'm useing the test kernel now, and it booted up without any problems
Gonna test Battery life for 2 hours, then switch back to vm to see if it gives good result's

Did you use the test-kernel from scratch. I mean when first booting up? or did you try first included kernel then after booting up you replaced kernel? I ask this because it's just not clear for me: You say it works w/o hassle and others report that they can't even get into the Launcher or that they have a black screen. I am just confused now

I did first use Tremere's Kernel with your build, and then i just copied the test kernel start from vm and booted it up. It's fast and stable it seems, i did use Android in standby mode for one and half hour. Well i did look around in system meny and such tried calling it but no signal just vibrate wich i did turn on. Battery used in android is 20% from fully charged 100% Switch back to vm says 78% so the meter seems almost correct. Tried original charger but it didn't work, Then tried pc usb charging and it seems to work Gonna try Xdandroid's new kernel now released today. Will get back to you tomorrow
I have now tested the new Xdandroid kernel released 23/9/10 for one and half hour now, switched back to vm and guess what?
i had 100% when i started android, used it for one and a half hour and then i switched back to vm it had only used 9% battery
Thats the best result i ever had using android, so hey if only sound/ mic problem gets fixed then this would be great
Grab the new kernel from thier Xdandroid wiki

I have tested 21/09/2010 [Xperia X1][FroyoRedux-Port][CM6] with the latest kernel from xdandroid (23/9/10) and it works very well, stable and fast. And the battery is a big improvment!!
I also overclocked it to 640mhz and the UI is then superfast.
Keep up the good work

you use zimage to?

FYI: In the next days there will be heavy updates regarding some of my builds. Fixed almost everything I could! Just trying out today some of the kernels released lately and then I think we will have a really really good CM6-Ports ready for all of you! Everything that's working in XDAndroid "Final" should then also work for us! So maybe I will call my builds "Pre-Final". Another thing that I should mention is that user ferlanero from xda-devs has today shipped over his X1 from Spain to Germany (my location). Once I receive it I will be going to try some NAND-related stuff!
X1 from user sequester will be my porting-device to test ports and latest nightlies from Cyanogen
X1 from user ferlanero will be my nand-test-device
Be prepared to get the proposed updates (see above) on this weekend. Again speical thanx to sequester and ferlanero for supporting me! This really motivates me in doing all this stuff!

Yes zimage to at lest i did

Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 2.2.1 25.11,Fatsal-xperoid 2.0.1 25.11,Hero Sense UI 2.1 25.11

Hello folks.
I'll be posting an esy to use package for everyone who wants to try the lastest android builds for the xperia x1.
I'll also keep it updated to the latest releases.
Just unzip the archive to your sd-card root.
No need to enable wifi or bluetooth in win mo for any of the versions.
Have your phones plugged in during first boot !!!
Grab the 25.11 edition here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev kernel version from here.
Sp3dev's kernel seems to be better.
Working: -wifi
-bluetooth
-gps
-marketplace
-3d acceleration - neocore 15.7 fps
-3g works (orange romania)
-phone doesn't overheat
-phone speacker works
-great battery life for sp3dev
Warning: The boot takes a million years and the system is abit slow in the first minutes.
Changes:
-new kernels from xdandroid
Well it seems the new versions from sp3dev is quite ready for day to day use.
Starting now I'll provide Android 2.0.1 versions too. I find them to run smoother and better on the xperia. Also I'm hopping for better battery life.
Same kernels as above, the same things work.
Grab the xdandroid kernel version from here , xdandroid.2 from here and sp3dev version from here.
And starting today im proving a Sense UI rom frm the HTC Hero.
A little warning they are even slower to boot so have patience and also boot logo is upside down.
Grab the xdandroid.2 kernel from here and sp3dev from here.
Note !!!! : Radio version seems to influence android quite abit. 1.14.25.55 seems to work the best. Please report your radio version and how android runs on it.
And on a further note I recomend this for dual booting. For more details go here.
Blimey I should organise my post better.

what about battery life?

Till now 3 hours uptime with mild use (3g on, some wifi and installing some applications and testing them) and battery is down to 98%. May be a bad battery reading or its actually having a good battery life, only time will tell. It running really cold compared to all the other builds i tryed which made my phone burn hot.

which kernel did you use?Thanks for one zip package

I've been using the latest kernel from here.

Nice release, have it running on my xperia right now.
Saw at the about screen its running froyo 2.2.1 although for some reason it won't connect to my wifi at home.
Nice release
i do have one question, how is the key mapping for the android? did a quick search but couldn't find an image that used to be here on the forums with the key mapping.

data connection not working for me.no 3g either.

New version is out. Probably better battery life.
3g does work but you need to configure your apn.
Regarding the key mapping I have no idea. I dislike the xperia's keyboard, never used it.

unfortunatly 3g won't be possible since i use my sim in my Galaxy S so i hoped for wifi to be working. About the keymapping. i meant the buttons under the touchscreen, not the touchscreen .
The release is running smooth on my xperia
do i need to run the sp3dev kernel version from the root or can i put it on the same SD card in a directory?

where can we download the new version

neo 299 see the first post.It's called sp3dev.
As for button mapping:
-power button is used for sleep and power
-call buttons are for call
-ok button is for back
-xpanel button is for home
-and left action button is for menu
No you can only have one release on a sd card. And I do recommend the new one more.

And thank you for the button mapping

Do you know how can i disable 3g so that i can use data connection.Otherwise data wont work for me on 3g.Thanks for sp3dev version upload.Much obliged

Settings > Wireless > Mobile networks > use only 2g networks

This looks sweet, thanks.
However, Megauploads gave error message :
"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."
Any chance you could upload it somewhere else as well ?
Thanks! HS

The sp3dev kernel version works fine, my X1 gets al bit warm but works. Tweetdeck works realy well, Foursquare will be tested tomorrow.
The only two problems I have till now are within the phone function. Kinda important...
1) I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me when calling.
2) And I don't have a clue how to add a ringtone.
Can someone help?

very good version of xdandroid.
fast and stable....
battery comsumption seems ideal??
but the main issue is no sound at all for me..
including ring tone, voice call...etc...
please help to fix~~otherwise, it is a really great build

Try using the other build. I think that one had working sound but battery wouldn't last so long.
And as for ringtones google a tutorial ).

I'm also having trouble with the sound.... no sound on calls, media, etc.... But when i test the ringtone there is sound...
Any ideas? Great build btw.....keep up the good work...

I have not installed this version. But ill do it later today.
On other versions when i had no sound on calls i just played with volume buttons while recieving call and then it worked.

NeoFroyo!! Well testing

hey guys!
Well i was trawling the android forums and found this!
http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?t=7524
All thanks yo neopeek for the rom.
I decided to test it out on my kovsky. This coupled with I believe duckkly's kernels worked like a charm!! ill post the kernels up here too as I experimented with quite a few to see what worked best!
Battery life: 8 hours on full blast so i rekon around 11 on normal usage
Wifi: never ever ever dropped on me so far! thou it does seem to be weak in some places around my house where i usually should be getting more signals and strong at places where i get little signal :S.confusing
phone: well calls come in and stuff but sometimes ull see a black screen and cant see who's calling! :S
Bluetooth: paired with my mw600s just fine dont know about file transfer
market:works just fine a bit slow though..could be my internet speeds out here in pakistan.
Apart from that using whatsapp like a charm. facebook apps. gaaps everything works!! not a single sod to date been using it for around about 5 days or so.
Sorry for the spelling errors! big thanks goes out to neopeek and duckkly or whoever compiled those kernels !
PS: oh and the keys will freeze up as you hit around 20% battery. I simply reboot. Also terminal doesnt seem to be working. keeps crashing on me but i dont really ever use it in daily use so it seems to be pretty stable apart from these flaws. Also you'll need to reinstall quickpic from market
Also im on radio 1.16 i believe. 1.14 seemed to drop calls randomly.
please read all of neopeek's instructions before flashing ! happy flashing

can't confirm 20% battery being the point where keys stop working. for me 4 hours of uptime seems the be magic point...
i stopped restarting modules via script (how to has been explained many times in here) and simply restart. most of the time it happens when an app is running - now what good is it if you have a shortcut somewhere, but can't get there because back- and home-key isn't working?!
but yeah, neofroyo is a big step forwards. first time using android on x1 is fun!
for terminal to work you have to reinstall it just like quickpic.
i just hope we'll see some kernel-update soon. without it the whole thing is pointless.

lol truee..thanks for the terminal update. oh if u press the camera button it will take you back to your home screen. than i guess u could load the keyboard modules..annoying i never bother with it. try my combination of kernel it gives me decent battery lifee but yea its the kernel with all the problems. tried the new kernels but they dont seem to work properly

hm, which kernel-version is that?
might try if i know which it is. just had to step down from ygge-monster to ygge-turbo. monster made my touchscreen getting unprecise in left half.
thx for the update with cam-button - never bothered to press that, since camera doesn't work anyway.
yeah, new kernels suck for our device, especially since they're missing the specific battery-driver for x1. the only guy still working on x1-kernel has been silent for months, but i can see he's still at it (porting 2.6.35.7).

Just tried pressing cam-button.
Falls back to lockscreen, after unlock shows homescreen. But system is frozen and after some time reboots directly to android. But lots of stuff doesn't work, especially phone-stuff. So i have to reboot winmo anyway.

i think its the ducckly's keyboard not loaded as modules turbo verison. I believe it should be that because i remember the msm drivers werent really working properly on it

Rooting my phone has turned into a nightmare, can you help me?

Ok firstly I'd like to say I just rooted my phone last week, this was my first time doing it. I decided to do it to get rid of various problems (I was led to believe rooting fixes everything). Some of them went away, some of them stayed, and new ones came up with the rooting.
I was coming a stock LG Optimus 2X P990 with Android 2.3.4 (had been updated because the phone was originally older 2.2.2 I think.. I'm not sure), and rooted to Nova HD Rom (ICS 4.0.4) using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1508492. Oh also, I'm using SPB Shell launcher.
Problem #1 : Signal interuption. This one is probably the worst problem I have. I rely on my phone a lot as I don't have a ground line I need it to catch all my calls. About 2-3times a day I'll check my phone and I'll have no network. Sometimes the signal bars are frozen, they don't flutuate as I move to different areas. Sometimes there's an X on the signal logo. Either way, where I go inside/outside.. my phone can't get network. At first I tried to activate/de-activate 2G, turning on/off airplane mode to somehow reset the damn thing, but it just won't pickup. Then I tried a reboot, after the reboot.. still stuck at no signal. Then I finnally found how to fix it.. a full power OFF, and back ON. That's right each time I peak at my phone and it seems to be doing this, I need to make a complete shut down to wake his ass off.
Problem #2 : Battery drain. Well after days of reading on the subject apparently rooting my G2X was gonna improve it's battery life. Result is : no difference. I've bought a bunch of apps to try and keep track on what's wrong (BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Pro). Just this morning I unplug my fully charged phone at 7:00:AM, and by 1PM (6hours later) it was done. There was about 1½hours of awake time, and about 50mins of screen on (perhaps half of this was using my 3G internet with various apps), no SMS or Calls. Usually if the phone is kept sleeping it can last about 24hours, do you guys think this is normal battery drain?
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? Last week I was woken up by my alarm in the morning to find out I was about 40minutes late. Only happened once so far. I checked to see if I had set my alarm incorrectly.. nope, then I saw my phone time.. It was was OFF by 40mins... WTF? I went in the options and everything was fine... "Automatic date & Time" checked. I unchecked/checked it, and it didn't fix it, I had to reboot the phone for the time to come back to normal. Now hopefully that was only a one time problem, only now I have to live with the stress every morning my phones time might be wrong and I'll be late for work.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. I use to listen a lot of FM radio before I rooted my phone , this is a feature I enjoyed. After rooting the FM radio application was gone, I said what the hell I'll just get another app from google play. NOPE, not a single FM radio app (that works). I tried a bunch of stuff, read on the forums and searched google for like 3hours and couldn't believe how much work I had put into such a simple thing.. this is so infuriating. The next day I kept looking but was never able to get anything working.. Oh and every where I look people say "lol why use FM radio when you can stream 1gazillion radio with given apps or whatnot". DAMMMMMMNN CAUSE MAYBE I DON'T HAVE INFINITE DATA PLAN? (In fact I have only 500megs/month). Seriously I'm so mad about this.
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! . I swear to got now that I rooted my phone each time I try to do something, something ****S UP. I just wanted to plug in my phone and copy some episodes of a serie I watch. Each time I tried copying the files : BAM "Windows Explorer has stopped working". So after another 2hours or so of trials and errors I figured the damn thing out . If I try to copy anything, it works. If I try to copy a *.MKV file, explorer crash. A solution I found is renaming my files to *.****YOU and then copy it and rename it back to MKV after it's done copying. Then I wondered, what if I rename a txt file to mkv, will it crash when being copied? Nope won't crash. So it's not just the extension? But why does it work if I remove the mkv extension.. oh good god how the hell am I supposed to understand anything.
Problem #6 : Can't play that MKV file?. Hey I finnally copied my file, the next day at work during my break I open my phone to watch it and.... well I realised there wasn't any video player included in my ROM, so luckly this time I found apps on the market that could play it. I used MX Player. Oh alright time to watch it? NOPE The video is all laggy and skipping frames like hell. Also audio is off and about each 10sec it mutes as if it was re-syncing the sound. Later the next evening I wasted another couple hours figuring this one out. What comes out often : they say use Dice Player instend! LOL Funny! The damn app won't even open my file!.
Playing with my phone I opened an APP I've pushased : System tuner pro. Looking at the CPU stats I noticed the first CPU was at 1.01Ghz, and the second one was at 216mhz? What the hell? I thought isn't that suposed to be 2x1ghz dual core?. So I cranked up the thing up to 1.01Ghz just like the other CPU, opened MX Player and already my video was almost watchable (a definitive improvement). I went back in System tuner pro, and overclocked the damn thing (even tough I had no idea if it was safe to do so) to 1.4ghz on both cores. Another significant improvement, this time when set this way I could watch my video! And the app onlyl reports a 5Celcius increase so I guess it's fine.
My only problem/question about that is why does each time I reboot my phone does the damn thing turns back to 216mhz? In fact why was it set to 216mhz in the first place? Considering all the problems I have and that I reboot my phone about 10times a day, I can't just go in system tuner the re-set my CPU settings each time?
Hopefully you guys can help me.. I'm exhausted I''ve been searching this forum and the web for the last couple days, I have like 1000tabs open in chrome. Btw this forum is a goldmine for information but damn it's a lot of reading.
Thanks in advance for your help

First, I'd like to say that I admire your keenness to detail in writing all of your issues down. Thing is, most of the problems you have are mainly because you flashed a modified ICS ROM. ICS roms by themselves are in beta stage, meaning there are some things that people compromise in flashing them (such as the missing FM radio), and you flashed a modified one, which might be the reason for certain power saving features such as your 2nd core down stepping to 216MHz.
Thing is, most of those were discussed in the NOVA ICS thread.
I would recommend flashing the more stable ROMs. Temasek's CM7, DjangoManouche by Carburano, Nostalgia by Topogigi (Froyo ROM) are the ones that pop-up in mind.
For a panic button, you can do a smartflash and it will restore all partitions to stock LG (wiping all user data of course).
Anyway, read the threads carefully. The opening posts and the last 5 pages at least. In order to get a feel of user experiences with the ROM.
Goodluck and happy flashing!

I also noticed that you mentioned you have a G2X? But you also mention having a P990. If you're on a G2X, you have a different forum section my friend. This forum section is specifically for the O2X.
Flashing an O2X ROM on a G2X may result in softbricks.
(Please disregard my advise about ROM choices if you're have an LG P999 G2X, those are all intended for the LG P990 O2X.)

yea my mistake when I typed G2x.. I meant O2X.
Thanks for the advice.
If I change my ROM will it wype all my user data again? (sorry im a newb at this)

The ROM itself might not. But I highly recommend you wipe your device since you're moving from 1 version of android (ICS) to another (Froyo or GB).

I'd recommend you CM7 (not CM9) based ROMs but since you need the FM radio, they have none AFAIK.. but you can try stock based ROMs that are still in active developments by the dev. Usually they worked just fine and will fix most of your problems.. again, don't use CM9 based..
Now for the network that is constantly disconnecting in background, this bug is actually introduced (at least for me) after the GB update (i assumed because of the changes LG has made to the baseband). There's no surefire fix for this problem.. try different combinations of basebands and RILs.. stick to whatever works for you
For battery, if you're in constant mobile network, 24 hours standby time is incredible IMO.. our battery is just too low in capacity to make it last any longer than that.. my only advice is minimize the number of apps in your device, because some of them always stay in RAM doing god knows what..
Good luck

Yes it will wipe them.. for baseband changes too.. so if you have apps that you'd like to preserve, back them up before flashing anything.. Titanium backup will do the trick, but some instability issues might appear if you choose to just backup and then restore everything up.. so choose all your important apps and leave the rest.. this way if something is wrong with the rom after restore, you can at least pinpoint which app is causing it

CM7 has a working FM radio since late last year.
Just an FYI.

Oh great.. that means you wouldn't mind using CM7.. i just don't bother checking for working FM radio app since long ago
why not try Temasek's kang build? I believe it is still the best stability wise..

CM 7 is Gingerbread
CM 9 is ICS
The numbers indicate Android's different iterations, so no, you can't

CM 7 is a fantastic phone, but it has 2 big problems:
-huge battery drain, specially when you enable Wifi!
-sporadic BSODs...specially when the phone is on charging...
Sadly i had to remove CM7 because i use a lot Wifi...i flashed Topogigi's nostalgia now..good rom

Which both are solved to about 95% by using etana kernel.
In short CM7 is the most feature complete ROM without sacrificing performance on our phones.

Just to give an update I have changed my ROM to a CM7 based rom like u guys said. Temasek's kang build
Problem 1. Signal interuption : problem is definitly solved.
Problem 2. Battery drain : definite improvement, battery now last at least twice longer
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? : Didn't get the problem again, so solved.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. : Well I got an FM radio app, but I can't make it work. It doesn't pick up the stations..
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! : Well this is solved yes and no. If I manage to make my computer detect the damn phone, I can copy whatever I want to. Thing is for some reason I can't seem to be able to plug my phone into Mass Storage mode anymore. It worked a couple of times and all of sudden even tough I didn't change any drivers, my computer just doesn't see the phone anymore. I get a "USB Composite Device" with a yellow "!" mark in my device manager.
I tried a bunch of stuff in the options, rebooting the phone and/or computer, nothing worked. I decided to try reinstalling the rom, and boom right after I pluged it in, the USB Mass storage mode worked. Once again after a couple of times it started doing the same thing (yellow "!" mark in my device manager), and no new drive being detected. This time I'm completly clueless on what's going on, and I have no idea what I can do about it.
I'm currently copying files using Samba Filesharing over Wi-Fi, but sometimes I'd prefer using my USB cable, and I just can't...
New problem!!! : I had my phone at work yesterday and pluged in my headphones to listen to music, start my music and the sound was playing in both my heatphone and phone speakers. I tried unplugging/replugging the headphone, now the sound only worked on the phone speaker. Looked up every phone option possible regarding sound or headphones.. couldn't find nothing. I did a reboot on the device, and bam fixed everything. Couple hours later I re-open my phone for music, same problem occured. Had to reboot the device for the sound to be back in the headphones.
Most problems are fixed, I Guess I'm satisfied, but damn can't everything just work...

JuiceDefender Premium will make it that your device loses 1% every 10 hours if screen is off.

Stock 20Q from LG is free of bugs and full of functions.

Might be a stupid advice,
but you do know that you need your headphones plugged in for FM radio? (they are the actual antenna)
In the settings you can also set your region (e.g. North America or Europe), since the frequencies differ a bit (e.g. Europe uses 0.1MHz 'jumps' and some regions 0.2MHz).

yea I know all of that don't worry.
The FM radio app is pretty buggy, today I made it worked. Once the app was started with the station selected, I hit the home button then I pulled down the tray and click on the FM app from there. All of sudden I started hearing sound.. it had worked.
Turns out the app is also the source of what is messing my headphones up. When I close and re-open the app, the sound will come out from the phone speaker, and that messes up every sound from the phone then on.

That FM radio thing is a bug that I haven't heard of actually. When you have the opportunity (or maybe on the next build #94, I'd suggest a full wipe then reflash).
