[Q] How to back up the ROM - LG Optimus 2x

Hi I'm a new Android phone user.
I have used SuperOneClick to root my 2X, so that I can use Droidwall. Everything looks fine.
But I see people suggesting it's better to always backup the original ROM, but I don't know how to do it. I have downloaded ROM Manager from the market, but it seems not supporting 2X yet, is it? Any alternatives?

Get custom recovery ClockWork Mod, which there are links to under 2x Development. With that you can take a full NANDroid backup which basically backs up everything.

Thank you!
But I am still not clear. Do you mean using ROM Manager? I tried "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and it shows only "Advent Vega" and "Elocity A7" to choose.
If you don't mind, please tell me step by step..

Many thanks!

Hello, I've followed that thread and installed CWM Recovery, that's great!
But I want to ask some more questions. I chose the EXT3 batch file. Could I actually choose EXT4? Will my filesystem be automatically converted to EXT4?
And, is there a newer version than the 3.0.1.4-beta3? I see another thread about the battery status bar mod which mentioned about R3 and R4 versions..
Thanks

The R3/R4 for the battery mod IS NOT related to CWM. Its related to the Rom developed by Paul for the LG 2x which is presently on R4.

I would check out this forum, there's a lot of great info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
EDIT:
Sorry, couldn't help myself. It can be confusing first time around. You need to install clockworkmod to do nandroid backups. A full backup will include all the applications.
Alternatively you can download titanium backup which will backup all your apps. That does require root, though.
Read the {Start here} thread to learn how to install cwm(clockworkmod) and how to root.

Nandroid backup is a FULL backup of your phone!
This means that It backups rom, sms, accounts, apps, widgets, and all the settings.
Titanium backup can backup all apps and settings "only".
They can be used together, and they are a must if you want to try new roms
I think this is the way to go:

It won't get more "stock" then this i think

im using the first link... perfect rom. only in the screenshots he is using a diffrent launcher.
if u install the normal version (NOT THE VANILLA VERSOIN) u will have the stock launcher and u can use it like the stock rom. it is faster and stable and more thats all.
one should also note, that a NANDROID backup also backups the ROM itself, so if you revert to stock and start the NANDROID restore, you'll get the ROM you had before "stockifying" back.
I'd recommend TI Backup for apps and MyBackup Root for SMS/Settings. If you sync your contacts and calendar with google, I advise you to exclude these items when backing up.

[Q]Things to know before installing a Custom ROM

Hi,
I have been looking through various custom roms for optimus 2x and intend to install one very soon. Before installing i have some questions
1. What is baseband? How do i know which one to use?
2. What is the best/recommended steps to install a custom rom? I know what you have to do before installing a custom rom, what i meant is the order in which you should install custom rom, kernel, some performance packs and baseband, etc.
3. What do you look for in a rom before deciding to install one?
And finally, how can i help the development community?
1. baseband is the software for radio in the phone. You dont have to flash new, you can keep on you baseband from original rom, its not flashed automatically when you flash custom roms by clockworkmod. you only need to download lg getril for example from market and install matching rill to your baseband.
2.
step1: root phone
step2: instal clockworkmod
step3: download zip file with rom to your sdcard
step3: power off phone, then hold volume down + pover on(first volume button) until the clockworkmod starts
step4: backup phone in CWM
step5: every thread with custom rom have the manual how to flash in cwm, its easy.
You can read about it on modaco optimus 2x forum. Lets google it.
There are basically two types of rom for O2X, the one is based on the modified stock rom. the second one is cyanogenmod based rom, i like the cyanogenmod.
You should use matching kernel to type of rom(cyanogenomd, based on ofiicial), kernel is closer to handle hardware, i can imagine it like kernel is between hardware and ROM, ROM is between kernel and user.
3. you should try some ROMs and decide what you like.
EDIT
4. sorry for my bad english.
Your baseband is visible in Settings/About Phone. Try first to flash without changing it. Get the matching Ril with GetRil or LG Ril version in market.
To root you can use latest Superoneclick (see thread in dev section, it seems now to work with GB a well) or nvflash method (see rooting for dummies in dev section).
In the first case you instal cwm with ROM Manager from market, or your can flash it directly using Rusty!'s build (see stickies thread in dev section).
Nothing else to add to the above post. Two families of ROM as said, all coming from stock LG are based on 20L/M/O original ROM. Others are either cyanogen (see in Kang thread, as nightlies build bot is out of order for now) direct, or cyanogen derived (Miui).
Read carefully first posts in each ROM thread, and be sure to have always a back up.
Thanks tomsi91 and Striatum.
@Striatum_bdr
Your sig says : O2X Topogigi SP3 ROM upgraded to 20M - Horse Power 2x Kernel RC11 + Swap/Power Pack 9 lite - Ext4 - BB & RIL 0725 (V20L)
I wanted to know the order in which you installed it. Did you install the kernel first then added the rom or did you flashed the rom first then flashed kernel and the others in the order written in your sig
TIA
A bit of topic but anyways, my BB and RIL don't match so
1. If I match them what improvement would I have?
2. Do I really need to do it even if I am not having issues with call quality?

No reason to flash kernel first it will be overwritten by ROM.
ROMs are always coming with a kernel!
First: ROM. A good thing is to boot then, and follow the First Run Configuration Wizard.
Second: Flash Kernel of your choice.
Third Power Pack if you want, mandatory with SPica's kernels to have all features.

No Problem = No change.
Golden Rule.
just to add.. don't forget to back up your messages/app data/whatnot with titanium backup or whatever
also note that a lot of the LG system apps will obviously be gone when going to CM7 for eg:
the camera for one thing has it's pros and cons. a lot of people seem to prefer the stock camera
the music player doesn't have a cool landscape mode
fm radio is **** with only 6 presets
sound recorder doesn't let you change quality
no built in memo pad (but you can always get one from the market anyway)
and the LG widgets (i like their weather and calendar widget)
"backup and restore" app which was quite useful (i believe it's made by Sprite).. but no worries since there's titanium anyway
although perhaps these system apps are backup-able as an apk in titanium?
Stock LG apps can effectively be backed up as apk, but they can't be run on CyanogenMod, so no interest.
I bought 2x 3 days ago. The lg gingerbread is fine. But not that impressive. I want to root it but the problem is rooting, voids your warranty. Is there is any way so that you can backup the android os given default (by lg), so that you can install it later to claim ur warranty later on. And is there is anything else? to do please correct me.
1. Backup your phone content(contacts, msgs etc)
2. Backup your factory installed OS (I don't know. how to do that).
3. Root your phone by some rooting software(superoneclick,etc).
4. Flash new cm7 rom or any custom mod.
5. Done? please correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks for the reply mate... i would like to know if i flash cm7 in it , then the baseband and kernel will be updated automatically?

Baseband can't be changed with cwm. Only smartflash. And a custom ROM always come with a kernel or it can't boot...
Better to go back to ext3, in case the new ROM doesn't format. And to be sure no residual file will be left and not overwritten, that could cause troubles.

Is there a newer basaband than 1035.21_20110725? This version is the same in all latest stock ROMS (V10D, V20L, V20M). Flashing the V20M (with smartflash) will have a different baseband although it will say 1035.21_20110725? I installed the leaked V20o but I have problems with signal loss after some hours in stand-by.

It's one of numerous LG inconsistencies... Different BB with same number.
It seems in fact they are not the same. Try different Rils with GetRil, the 20o one but also the 20l etc...

I did try different RIL when I had the V20o. I changed the RIL V20o Europe to V20L Italia which I had with V20M update which I did through LG official update. Do you think flashing V20M with smartflash and then installing the V20o will fix the problem?
Thanks

[Q] Rooting this phone and installing latest CM7

Hi,
my friend bought this phone and wants me to "fix it up" for him. I am completelly unfamiliar with this phone and Samsung in general, so I need a little help.
I have scoured these forums for the last hour and there is TONS of information available. It's really difficult to judge which posts are outdated and which are still working.
Basically what I want is this:
1. Root the phone
2. Install CWM
2. Install latest CM7 for this phone.
I reckon the root works with using SuperOneClick, correct? And for CWM I thought I'm gonna use this?
But I am at a complete loss when it comes to which CM7 to choose, there are tons of them? Can someone recommend me a fresh, stable, debloated and fast CM7 ROM with everything working?
Thanks.
I managed to get root and clockwork mod up and running.
Any ideas for which Rom?

1) For rooting, refer to this thread - http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html
It does not matter if it outdated - all you have to do is go to superuser app, and choose update binaries. You will get latest version.
2) For now, i personally don't feel you should use CWM 6. the version i am using (CWM 5) has no bugs and works perfectly. here is the link -
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/02/clockwork-mod-touch-for-galaxy-mini-gt.html
3) As for ROMs, there is a large collection out there. It all depends on your choice. For example, if you want:
A stock based ROM choose something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861240
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576996
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074556 (which is CM10.1 - Jellybean)
Or another CM10.1 ROM which works very well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227481
Or maybe another interesting ROM which im sure you will like, which has interesting tweaks like android version - 5.0.0.5 (lol)
Cyanogen mod 7 music edition - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329551&highlight=emanon
Or the experience ROM by autoradio, which allow a lot of customization - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193327
This is another really good ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754694
PS the question "best ROM" is always being asked and is then subsequently closed by a mod, so read the rules next time
Another thing you should know is NEVER use an app called ROM manger. it will brick your phone.
I supposs this cover everything
Press thanks if i helped

[Q] ROM Options...

Hey guys and gals,
Noob here, only installed 1 or 2 ROM's in the past, but I would now like a hand deciding on a suitable ROM for my needs on my Galaxy Tab P1000 (UK/European)
I would like a ROM that is nice and responsive, has good battery life and is fairly customisable, and I guess most come already rooted? I would prefer it to be ICS or JB too I have looked about and seen a few CM10 ones, some MIUI ones and various others but I am lost for choice, I have no idea what ones are best.
I want everything to work (all wireless connections, camera etc...) don't mind things like auto brightness or similar as that isn't major. The main reason for wanting to change from the stock gingerbread is because I find it unresponsive and boring.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thought Q&A was my best bet.
Thanks,
Cam.
Actually your best bet is to try them out yourself. All criteria are subjective.

Ok matey, will have a play!
Thanks,

Hey again,
Quick question,
For the MIUI v4 ICS ROM, which I like the look of alot, it needs a "restock" and install Overcome or a CM9 guide to be followed. (ROM link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 )
However, do I still need to do this as I haven't already installed any custom ROM? If I do can you give me a feint idea how I can approach it? Or can I just wipe cache/data etc.. and install the ROM?
Sorry if I am being a pain, not had to do any of this before.
Thanks,
Cam.
Many has your problem.
The thing is, newer ( well, post April 2012) ROM use new MTD layout, which need you to come from stock, or from same layout.
If your custom ROM were GB, no issue. They are stock BML partition, which the new rom can convert upon install.
If it were cm9 or 10, watch the mtd layout. The installer isn't made to convert older mtd to new mtd, so need restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Ok so as I have no custom ROM at all I need to restock to new layout. No problem, just wanted to know if it was necessary for me to do it.
Thanks for your help,

Think I have got it, can someone please confirm my steps to make sure I am doing it right?
1. Flash latest CWM recovery using Odin
2. Make Nandroid backup using CWM
3. Flash GB-stock-safe, then flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar using Odin for both (do I do these separately or is there a way to flash them together?)
4. Place MIUI v4 ROM and GApps etc.. on Tab's SD card.
5. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data and flash ROM.
6. Flash GApps and patch's etc...
7. Reboot into ROM
If it doesn't reboot into MIUI I need to reflash the ROM as the first flash converted my Tab to MTD? Is that correct?
Hopefully I have got it,
Thanks in advance,
Cam
Actually, am I right in saying CWM isn't fully supported on P1000? What recovery should I use?
Sorry for all the questions again,
Cam.
Cwm is contained in kernel.
If you are willing to forgo backup, must start with GB stock safe v5
Then overcome kernel.
By then you have a cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Got it all installed/flashed last night. Went all ok and I worked out that the kernel included overcome cwm after reading a guide from the link in your Sig.
I suppose its good that I love the ROM too
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Few questions, CWM Backup, Custom Stock, Gingerbread...

Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)

However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those
this search string gets a few results

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)
