I have a question to devs in connection with the nvidia drivers as we know it will be rolled out soon. So if Nvidia releases them and the needed bits whether we (the CM team and the other devs of O2X community) would be able to build a new kernel like 2.6.36 or even 3.0 or just complete the existing 2.6.32 kernel?
And if we build a new kernel what benefits will come with it?
Thanks in advance!

It's not really the kernel that is important, it's driver compatibility with the android layer. Kernel differences between 2.6 and 3 are not that great.
The new drivers would help us to access the hardware better without having to hack so much of the android framework
Hello!
This has been discussed to a large extend in the ICS threat...
Well if nvidia releases drivers compatible for ICS a working build will come fast(er).
And of course hardware support of all the shiny features of Tegra2 will be much easier and more readily available...
Sorry for reposting but I haven't read the ICS topics since they were spammed with requestions of ETAs.
Btw Thanks for the quick explenations!

Hello:
This thread is being started to post *unofficial* kangs (roms) based on Atrix-dev-team's work with CM9 and CM7. ghost_og, crnkoj and I decided to collaborate and have one thread where we post our kangs. What's a Kang? The unofficial definition follows
KANG: unofficial build: as in - you are (mostly) on your own. Please do not contact the CM9 or CM7 teams, or the atrix dev team with issues found in these ROMs. Instead, post questions/issues in this thread.
I will be posting CM9 builds regularly [meaning weekly or a little more frequently]. I will usually test builds for 1-2 hrs before posting. crnkoj will be posting CM7 builds.
If you want to build your own kangs, instructions can be found here:
CM9 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450054
CM7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442842
Thanks to the Atrix-Dev team and Turl1 for all their hard work porting CM7/9 to the Atrix.
The next post will contain CM9 specific information.

CM9 ROM and build note:
Hello:
This post will contain location to the latest unofficial CM9 kang built from the atrix-dev-team repositories. As you may know, CM9 is based on Android 4 better known as ICS or ice cream sandwich.
*** I have tested this build for ~10 hrs before posting. For regular use, I switched to CM9 from CM7 and find CM9 pretty stable for everyday use, with some exceptions:
*** Update 02/02/2012 [one date that reads the same all over the world ] I built an OC/UV enabled kernel for CM9. If interested, get it from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22121125&postcount=152
Known issues:
=========
- Camera doesnt work (yet): WHY not? Nvidia released the tegra libs for ICS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21835368&postcount=27 [patience, work in progress ]
- 2D acceleration doesnt work (meaning, occasional glitches in angry bird, and jerky scrolling sometimes)
- Adobe flash - **** If you use dolphin, you might see sites like youtube/vimeo work. That does *not* mean Flash is working: dolphin uses HTML5 versions of those sites. A good test to see if flash works is to use Kongregate and try to play a Flash game.
- Video playback
*** Update: Posted a new Kang today: 02/02/2012 - version 020212. This contains the latest CM9 code from the repo, working FP and screen unlock bug fixes. Release notes here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22101540&postcount=146
You can find the Kang here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hlvw6g

That thread is maintained by the photon-dev team: they develop primarily for the Motorola Photon, and have been kind enough to post a build for Atrix as well. This thread is for unofficial builds from the Atrix-dev team repositories: the folks who are porting ICS for Atrix.
Also - if its by the devs, it cant be a kang
Good, I was also thinking about asking a dedicated thread for Atrix Dev Team's CM9.
Currently using the 24-1-2012 CM9 rom and one thing bugging me here, FP navigation!!!. how can i turn it off???

Right now, the setting app havent been enhanced with FP nav code. FP Nav doesnt bother me much: but will try porting the settings app shortly. If I cant get that to work, will make a build w/o FP.
Haven't used ATRIX cm9 since XMAS (on photon cm9 port right now), can anyone compare the 2? If not, I will spend sometime 2morrow after work and test it out and give out a compairson

AFAIK, only 2 main difference. Photon team's CM9 has FP navigation already disabled (which would reduce battery consumption to certain level), and Atrix Team's CM9 has got some of the CM settings already working (U need to flash a CMSetting pack). Now we can adjust screen rotation settings and custom backlight levels (which also helps you to reduce battery consumption a lot). Moreover, I like the black People theme on Atrix team's CM9 compared to white theme of Photon Team's CM9.
USB Tethering is not working yet on this rom but Wifi tethering is already working. (I haven't had a chance to try it on Photon Team's rom)
Where would one obtain the CMSetting pack?
Lol black people theme?

3D is good. I've tried many 3D games including the latest "Real Racing 2" from EA Games and it work flawlessly. UI is also smooth but full hardware acceleration is not working yet. (I think it will only work after we get the ICS resources for Tegra2 device from Nvidia)
camera
Nothing yet for fixing the camera, right?

crnkoj and I are coordinating the kangs: he will continue to release CM7 kangs and I will release the CM9 kangs. The link you posted contains a slightly older build.

3D acceleration works perfectly for me. UI hardware acceleration is based on 2D acceleration: still a bit jerky

I see lots on folks using Temasek's Kang . Could we have reviews ,screen shots & videos of this Kang , highlighting differences between TK and CWM . Temasek has listed out detailed release changes on his thread . But a high level feature list would be useful for folks starting on a Kang diet . ( Me included)
Also can I install Temasek's Kang on top of CM 204 nightly ( without deleting data).
Yes u can install latest kang over nightly 204.
For a detail list, you need to read my changelogs. I do keep a long list of different builds changelogs. Some changelogs have pictures of major features.
Highest downloads of my kang was around 2500 +++. So basically that perhaps the number of users using kangs.
Just flash it over 204. ICS rotation animation alone is cool enough to give you the reason to use it
I am on latest kang from temasek. Where can I see these Ics transitions? Do I need to use Adw to see them?

You do not need ADW or any third party app to see it.
Go to Settings > Display > Animation. And make sure "All animations" is checked.

No - you should see them when opening/closing apps etc. Not that spectacular.
But the ICS rotation animation is great - you'll see it when switching to landscape/portrait mode - in older days the screen would just "update" - now it has a nice turning animation.
Maybe i'm just used to it by now - being on this awesome KANG
Stupid question, well I'm new O2X user .. I'm now using CM7 and want to try Kang 63. Do I need to flash stock ROM first? or just flash the Kang (using CWM)?
Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
Just flash it over your older CM7 no return to stock needed.
So, is this finally the most stable and valuable rom available? Already tried some, but they always had some problems with stability, speed and/or battery.

The latest CM7 Temasek KANG is really stable. So, don't worry about that
It really is good! Stable as stone.
I flashed my wife's o2x with this rom 4 days ago, so far no complaint from her and she really impressed with the smoothness of the UI and camera function.
However, my OB p970 do not hv market after flashing his p970 rom..
If i flash temaseks CM7 over CM7 nightliest, do i need to wipe my data or cache and dalvik cache is enough?

Grab gapps 2.3.7 from my mediafire folder and flash it.
Ooow, okay, give it a try then!
Thanks!
Thx, temasek. Juz did that yesterday and it solved my misery =).
Another thing, can I confirm is this rom does not hv video call function?
Thx in advance.

Ahh really stable indeed (for now), thanks for the tips!
The only thing I find annoying, is the (little bit) stutter scrolling... I actually had this problem with all the cyanogenmods. Am I doing something wrong crucially? :S I am using the default kernels coming with the roms, ril/baseband 725 (which shouldn't be the cause I think?) and I am not doing strange customizations... Also tried all the 4 scrolling-cache options but doesn't matter.
Someone knows what I am doing wrong? Or is it just me and my perfectionistic eyes who need 60 fps animations?
Thanks!
My Optimus 2X struggles while viewing flash videos (and not necessarily YouTube videos) higher than 480p.
In reviews I read that the Motorola Atrix (also Tegra 2) can play up to 720p flash videos smoothly.
Why does the Optimus 2X, also with Tegra 2, struggle so much? I am on stock 2.3.4 ROM, would flashing to a custom ROM help?

Do you think it's possible that there is a problem with the LG stock ROM? Could it potentially be possibly that switching to CM7 or CM9 when its stable could fix this problem I'm experiencing?
I could'n stream live tv streams in flash format, when i was using cm7. I could with miu though.
I found that streaming video's to my phone recently it was very jerky, even after a reboot.
The thing that solved it for me was the a factory reset.
After that I updated to the latest V20Q ROM, and gueste V20Q kernel and video's are fantastic, games are fantastic.. nothing jerky at all (so far).
So.. to start with (imho).. back up your data, and then do a factory reset, and see if this helps
NOTE: I have never had an issue with HD video running from the phone itself.
use: flash v. 10.3.185.25, temasek's cm kang rom, with android browser and ull get smooth 720p flash videos with no issues. tested.

I guess the problem is with the ROM I'm using (LG stock 2.3.4)
I'll look into getting a custom ROM then.

yep, never had smooth 720p flash on stock or even stock based roms. temasek kangs rule, u should give them a try.

Anyone know an ICS Rom that has HW acceleration? I've tried Nova and Hellfire Sandwich but neither has that. Suggestions. Currently runnign stable CM 7.2.
The ISC drivers that are needed for acceleration are available, but are useless until LG releases some sort of Kernel to work with the drivers to my understanding. They are obligated to release the kernel and other stuff needed for developers to build a Complete and stable rom, but no one knows when. It should be soon tho, my guess 1week-1month maybe even sooner.
Here is the website, not sure if its official or not. As you can see, the kernel currently on the site is for v20(Gingerbread I think) we need v30 which is for ICS
http://code.google.com/p/openstar2x/
Since we don't have the drivers, we can't have hw accelerated roms.. so you'd better wait for lg official update..

@Dimension 2035 Thanks for the explanation. Is it safe to assume that when official ICS for p990 drops (its out for su660) then the dev team will have the kernel they need to work with?
@Byteater Definitely won't ever do an official LG update. When I tried upgrading to official Gingerbread my phone got bricked past recovery, luckily the guys i bought it from sent me a new one and so instead I just flashed CM 7 the next time and it works great... prolly better than official LG ICS when that comes out.

There is only one place I know that may bring ICS to the P990 and that is LG Singapore. If they do it will be Perfect!

you don't need to upgrade the phone to official ICS. But the official release (with source codes) will help devs to extract drivers and to insert them in cm 10 roms

NO!
we have to wait for the sources otherwize we wont know what to do with the binaries, also, 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 didnt suffer such drastic changes as its made obvious by the very small difference from 1 to the other, theyr both 4. something, so theyr almost the same except for some optimizations in jb if i didnt understand wrong. bottom line is, as soon as we get the sources well have a fully working cm10 rom in very little time, drivers are all thats missing since only camera doesnt work properly now... (at least in the cm10 rom im using(tony. p's hackfest)
I'll be waiting patiently for the developers to work their magic I guess!

Hi.
I'm using Nova HD rebuild ICS CM9 ROM on my Optimus 2x and i'm very happy with it but I'm missing HW support. It was said that the devs couldn't do anything until LG releses update for ICS. This is what I found on internet:
"Android 4.0 now available for LG Optimus 2X... in South Korea, anyway" (sorry I can't post a link...it's on engadget.com)
so would this help or are we still just hopping nont to be stuck on GB.
Tnx for answer.
