Will the G2x from Tmo get its own section? - LG Optimus 2x

I am super excited about Paul getting cwm, custom kernel, and custom rom on the Optimus 2x. This will open surely make this phone more enticing. Question I have is this: Will there be 2 sections or 1? Since the Tmo version will be running vanilla this will kinda be like the SGS vs SGS US models scenario and porting issues different kernels and what not. Your thoughts?

I guess there won't be this kind of problem - there is no big difference between P990 and p999 technically, so ROM's will be compatible, I guess the baseband will be only a problem, but it's flashed separately.

Was just about to post a thread about this. Glad I searched.

Im curious as well. Cant wait to ditch this mytouch 4g

Yes, you're right!
I've successfully dumped P990 rom to P999. The only problem was basebond.
Other than that, everything works beautifully!
I really like TMO G2x!!

Uh, the G2x isn;t out yet..

T-Mobile US gave away the G2X to employees at a company celebration of top performers in Hawaii in the first week of April.

I got to play with one in T-mobile today, and it was awesome. An hour later I was calling customer service ordering one. I won't get it until Tuesday so I'm stuck reading about the G2x until then.

P999 on P990?

I've got the P990 O2x (purchased in the Caribbean - LG Branding)- and I'm using it on T-Mo USA - but my phone is stuck on EDGE - and I'm not sure why?... Also, can't send MMS....
Has anybody flashed the P999 rom to a P990?
I'm just wondering what it will take to get T-Mobile 3/4G playing nicely with the P990 (O2x)?
For anyone who's curious I'm running:
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version = 1035.21_20110218
Kernel Version = 2.6.32.9-dirty
Build Number = FRG83G
LGE Version = LGP990-V10a

Unless that version has the aws bands and they are enabled you will be stock on edge

The O2X is 900/1700/2100 so should be no problem.

What The?

Can I flash LG Optimus 3D roms on my phone? How do I tell if I have a thrill? What's the difference why is there two different sections!? WHATTT????
The Thrill is the AT&T branded version. The only physical difference is a small AT&T logo on the back. The model number is P925, vs the Optimus 3D is P920. You can see the model number in the About in Settings. They run on different bands, so O3D ROMs will not run on the Thrill. If you put a O3D ROM on the Thrill you only get 2G, the "4G" from AT&T does not work.
So they will work but I would get a 2G connection? Could I use their rom manager ways and etc? Is there a way I could just flash the Thrill's radio back onto it after installing an Optimus Rom?
I have not seen anyone pull the radio from the Thrill yet. So far Thriller is the only Thrill based ROM. I think once the GB update comes out we will see GB ROMs. I don't think many devs want to take time tweaking FroYo when GB has been promised by year end (and likely long before that). The O3D was released months ago, the Thrill has been out for less than a month.

So any idea when Froyo will be released?

LG Announes it will officially be releasing ICS for O3D/Thrill

https://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-m...40-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade/316431148368212
There you go everyone it is official we are getting ICS from LG. So even if CM9 never gets released for our phones we are getting ICS for sure.
...fighting ninjas at night. Talking about this and that.
You think this will be a pretty bugless port to our device from O3D?

Pretty sure it will be just like GB release. When the kdz comes out just flash it.

Cool, so if we base this off of history with the GB release, 2013 seems about accurate right?
I just hope someone is able to make a rom soon
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
hopefully a rom comes out soon . If one does come out soon id jusr forget about puting GB on on my phone and just use ICS.
Well you might as well flash GB in the interim. Hopefully arcee doesnt give up development for our phone with ICS.
I know LG has a horrible reputation on this forum but, I am going to be positive here and give them a chance. If they are announcing in December the roll out dates then I am hoping for a first quarter 2012 release.
Who knows though, I am happy with GB right now and soon you guys will have the option to install GD as well GingerDoom is on its way.

isnt there a guy named Ricardo whose developing ICS for the Optimus 3D ? Or did he drop that project and move on to another ?
that doesn't mean it will officially come to at&t. It does not say LG Thrill. It will probably be up to AT&T

No one is certain if he has ditched the O3D or not, he is a developer of Cyanogenmod. It is just nice to know that if CM9 never comes and no one is able to get a full working rom we will at least get ICS from LG at some point.

Whether ATT releases it or not doesn't matter, if LG releases it for O3D we get it too. All you would have to do is flash the ICS kdz the same way you flash the GB kdz. ATT hasn't released GB yet but, I am running it just fine.

Is everything functional?
I cannot run the euro gb rom on my phone as it kills 3g in my area. As for ics it is being actively developed for cm9. Just like other devices you will just have to wait.

Has LG abandoned the thrill with the gb update? I havent seen anything about it coming soon and there hasn't even been any leak like with the o3d update.

The Thrill is the Optimistic 3d, which they have not abandoned. The difference is the ATT branding.
If an Official Thrill update doesn't show, its not LG. At this point all ATT needs to do is add their tweaks and push it.

What I don't understand is why nobody tampers with the baseband to make it support Euro and American frequencies. Every other phone I've ever delt with could support that, but it's like the Thrill and Optimus 3D are two complete phones.... Even though they aren't? Nothing makes sense to me anymore
EDIT:
I only have a Thrill because AT&T was handing them out for free in my state (Montana) because of their service hasn't been too great. But from what I see, the Thunderbolt has a better community going on here. I came from a Captivate, and have atleast modded 15-20 different phones, but this phone seems like the red headed step child.

I think is they try to do the frequnecies thing it might require more work so it might be easier to just use the Euro KDZ for GB or ICS. I'm not sure though they might end up doing it sooner or later. It all dpeneds on the developer.

What rom should I get for my LG Thrill?

Hey everyone... finally got myself a thrill last night It is amazing!! I rooted it with superoneclick and put cwm on it already but now what rom should I get? I read that the cyanogenmod roms doesn't have working hdmi, and 3d!! Which is what this phone is mainly about. Any suggestion on a stable working rom that doesn't interfere with 3d features or HDMI? Like a gingerbread rom with sense ui port? Or is this phone too new and developers haven't had the time to port it over yet? Thanks for all the answers everyone!

You COULD just check the development threads.

Were just really waiting for a north american release of ginger bread but there are some good ones thriller and doom also if 4g isnt that big of a deal optimus 3d thread has lots of good roms
I did check the development thread but didn't see much rom that is consider stable. I would like to keep everything functional, 4g, 3D, and HDMI. I saw thriller rom but there was something that was missing from it that didn't catch my eye. Also what will putting the rom from the optimus 3d do to the thrill? what feature will be missing.
thrill seeker check that one out it removes all the crap apps that come with the phone and help phone run smother better some have overclocks and new themes
We are essentially asking the same question. Can the Moderators combine our threads? Here's my post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475388
The only bit of advice I have about the different ROMs to share from my thread is that GB baseband and custom ROMs do improve performance but the CM7 is supposedly AMAZING. Anyways... I'm about to put CM7 on my phone. I know I will lose 3D and HDMI but I think I can live without it... after all it is rather gimmicky.
3D is what this phone is all about, I guess I have to wait for mods to explore more on this phone.
I'm about to get a SGS II, so there is another ROM coming up.

[Q] Optimus 2x Wind Stock Rom?

Hi, Ive been looking around for the wind stock rom for the past few days and could not find it. So im posting a thread about it.
I want to put it back to the old firmware which you buy from wind that comes with the preloaded software because I did not unlock it when it was rooted. Is there any downloads for winds stock rom for optimus 2x?
Hi
I believe the Wind O2X is actually a G2X, so maybe you've searched in the wrong thread for the whole time .
Anyway, try searching for a stock rom in the G2X thread...
Good Luck!
Are you sure? Because when I bought the phone from Wind mobile, the os had wind mobile widgets and such sort

I'm pretty sure, a WIND Optimus 2X is a G2X (LG P999). The O2X and G2X are pretty much the same. There are only a few differences, which cause O2X roms to not work on a G2X and vice versa.
Okay I looked in the g2x section and I cant find it...
Right now my optimus 2x is running android version 2.2.2 with an unknown baseband, I just want to reset it back to winds android version with an actually baseband?
Any help?
Yeah .. there are enough wind users (me too) that one will show up soon. Might have been posted.. or someone who is more savy might be able to do one up.

[Q] which thrill is this forum for?

I see there are multiple versions of the Thrill. Mine isnt really a 4G (at least not LTE). Mine is a LG-P925. Will I be able to use the ROMS in the dev section of this forum?
Just want to make 100% sure I dont mess up my phone.
Thanks!

Its the same phone.
Most devs on the O3D forum include att apns in their ROMs so its really effortless to install. I would even recommend flashing the V21E kdz rom. This baseband fixed the ghost call issue that still plagues ATT customers today.
