until now i used the last ver of MIUI on my milestone
with GOT 2.2.1
the MIUI Started to be slower and i want to change rom,
i thought to try FroyoMod but then i saw the original 2.2 by Motorola, and then the CM7 with 2.3.
so i dont know which one is better, and which one i should try..
the cm7 and the original 2.2 have bugs? crashes?
which rom is faster?
thank you
I will prefer shadow mode aosp 2.3.2 b3...160h very fast very smooth and no single reboot
I think you should try some ROM's. I will prefer Ice&Fire CM7, but someone else will prefer Miui, etc. Just try them out and decide your own
Orginal ROM is realy slow but its working no crashes or sth, CM 7 is nice but has some bugs (sometimes sms are not comming to u). Now im using orginal sonft and w8 till CM 7 will be more stable...
My optimus is on order (best i could get through work!).
The idea is to flash Root - Flash CM7 and have a nice speedy phone
Seems the steps are quite easy
- Root
- Install Rommanager
- Flash CLK recovery
and install a rom the usual way (format - flash zip - go go)
I'm a bit confused atm - seems there are CM7 nightlies which haven't been updated and 2 alternative CM7 versions in the android development subsection.
Was thinking about trying the
temasek's KANG BUILD + CM7 Kang kernel
Looking for vanilla CM7 really - used it on a desire S (got stolen..) and an HD2 (temporary device).
Most of all i'd like ICS but seems the optimus 2x isn't that far yet
There are indeed two cm kangs in the dev section, from Temasek and koboltzz. So you can choose between them. Also, these kangs are far better than the official cm nighties and the latest stable. So, in fact you can choose between the two, or official cm of course.

Naaaahh... Just kidding!
CM7.2 Temasek KANG P204-30
Ironkernel (Vadonkas KANG)
You should use the latest Temasek kang imo, these are kangs more up-to-date because the normal CM7-nightlies are not going to be updated anymore. (before ICS)
I have used almost every single rom on XDA on my Optimus 2X, and I must say that the temasek kang (i'm at build 27) + Vadonka's kang kernel is the best combination I have had so far. It's super-smooth, stable and amazingly fast. Compared to the stock LG-firmwares it is a very noticable difference, especially because stock LG-roms have serious memory leak issues which causes huge slowdown after using your phone for a few days without rebooting. (this is very annoying)
CM7 is also much faster with browsing, the stock browser on CM7 is a lot faster than the android browser on LG's roms. (don't know why). Moreover the multi-tasking with latest CM7 kang+vadonka kernel is very good, memory management is excellent.
You should also look at the Baseband (BB) that you have on your O2X. You could update your O2X with LG's updater, which updates to 725 Baseband
You should remember: Cyanogenmod7 (CM7) does not change or flash your baseband. RIL and BB are different, CM7 only contains a RIL, which is a small part of the firmware that can easily be changed by using the Android App GetRil from the market. Most of the time a matching RIL-BB is the best. ( So BB 725 with RIL 725). All CM7 roms contain the RIL 218 so you might need to update your RIL with the GetRil app (1 minute, very easy app)
It's recommended to use baseband 725 with RIL 725 or RIL 218 (both seem to work fine, you should try by yourself)
It seems like you are already experienced enough, to flash your O2X, it's not very difficult.(optional:update to latest LG rom for latest Baseband)
Then: Root(see post on this forum, oneclickroot etc. doesn't work). This method also includes ClockWorkMod recovery, so all you need to do after this is copying the CM7 Kang (+kernel if you want) to your Phone, reboot into recovery and flash.
Both kangs are quite good, and I don´t know if u wanna consider miui, but I like it quite a lot. u might wanna check out vadonka´s o ironkernel with those. the first one has a little more battery life.
No miui for me
Thanks for the information!
Lets hope we get Tegra2 ICS drivers fast! Flashed a beta on my current HD2 and i really like it!
Could only get 1ghz singlecores which do have ICS beta's or this Optimus 2x which has a dualcore and a far more powerfull GPU - lets hope the gamble pays off

Hello!
Latest version of SuperOneClick should work...
http://shortfuse.org/
But it isn't a big advantage over the linked method as posted by TrymHansen, since he needs to install CWM anyway...

Aha sorry, good to know
if you want to use CM7 then you should flash the kang either temasek one or koboltz up to you. since CM7 doesn't release the nightly, maybe they just release straight to CM9 don't know.
but there is still another rom such as miui, and stock rom which is already tweaked and there are many kernels for this phone both for stock and CM and miui
see the development section and happy flashing
I think MIUI ROMs are great!
You should also check out wajk's MIUI ROM. Its really great!

SuperOneclick (latest) worked only kinda for me.
It did in fact root the phone but only until reboot.
It did however give me the chance to install CWM and then CM7.
But if you're using SuperOneClick then it doesn't matter. I mean just install CM7 straight off and then have CM7 flash CWM.
That's how I did it the second time and it felt like the easiest way.

just use any guide, and it should work fine
Hi, since I updatet my OB to Gingerbread 2.3.4 all my ID3-Tags, which worked well with Froyo, seem not to work anymore It does not matter which version of GB I flash on my OB, it's allmost the same problem.

Heloo,i have a problem with my Lg Optimus 2X(P990) and i hope you can help me : last year in december i saw in rom manager-download rom CyanogenMod and I tried it,but i haven't done the backup of original program (Android 2.2Froyo).When I wanted to come back to original android I did not have what to come back and i started to look for a similar version of android to the internet and i found on this site a few versions , i downloaded this version : BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20l-EUR-XX-OCT-20-2011+0,and i instaled with smartflash p990 after a tutorial that i found on youtube ,it works but my problem is when i want to upgrade to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 it doesn't let me do it,it says : "Software update is not suported for this model" and "Select the Contact button to contact for lg Mobile Phone Software Update online ".
How can i fix this problem ?? can anyone help me with this ???
On his back,under batery, it says that it was made in Korea.
You need to downgrade your baseband.
Follow this guide http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...aseband-release-103521-20110725-v20l-version/
and use this baseband http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?pb62vt254c44n1w
can you tell me why? also ive just started using CM7 (version .87 by temasek) i used a LITE kernel and still using the default (RIL)(baseband) that came with my fone. ( 1035.21_20110725 ) can u tell me. is there better one matched or unmathed that would give me better battery..
Hi MIFFO858 ,I tried what you said but still doesn't let me upgrading to gingerbread,what else can i do to fix this problem ?!!!!
LG updater is crap, so you should flash v20q with smartflash or v20r kdz or v20r cwm rebuild by Flix123. Btw v20l is 2.3.4.
