If you haven't traded it in yet, I would try out Cyanogenmod on the Thrill. See my post a few days ago to set it up:

I want to use CM but I for one use my 3D so I am waiting for that
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
I imagine the Cyanogenmod team will be updating their distribution/ROM to include 3D since it was a prominent selling feature. Just check the nightly log:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p925
I know it says this for Cyanogenmod
If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on Cyanogenmod then you must make a factory reset/format data in Clockworkmod after installing the latest nightly or else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.
I thought I read somewhere cant find it now but I need GB bootloaders?Im running doomed right now so I can just flash this like any other rom and Ill be cool?Thanks
You don't. Cm7 is modified on the thrill to run on the froyo baseband. Flash it, wipe, works well.
I think that 3d is unlikely in cm7 as it relies heavily on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google's clean source code. For some odd reason, it works in the camera, but nowhere else.

Thanks for the response Im not worried about the 3d it makes me dizzy lol Ive only hardbricked one phone out of 5 just didnt want to on this one.Hows the battery life I have noticed on doom its alot better than stock much much better?
Heres what I meant
If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;
Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.
What is the latest baseband?
Well now using captvate glide

Hello guys
I got an optimus 2x, and was planning to root it, or whatever you call it From day one, I was really dissapointed with the LG stuff, it got better with launcherPro, which made my homescreen much much faster and smoother. I think this phone has enormous potensial, but bad software. Therefore, since I am new to this forum, I am looking for the "best" root or rom thing for it. Maybe there is many different versions, but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth. thats what she said.
Anyway, I've seen a friends rootet xperia, and he said he got some new UI with folders and stuff. I dont mind this, only it is good, and maybe it will be customisable still?
Problems Ive had with the phone: Random shuttdown, ugly apps like facebook for LG and antivirus etc. Buggy lockscreen. Battery goes to 0% when it randomly shuts down.
Is it wise to get 2.3 on the optimus 2x? I would love some inputs from you guys also, what you like the best and some general experience. Will I be able to update my phone when im rooted, like from the settings options from the phone? dno if this is important or not.
Anyway, links would be appriciated to official threads or direct links to your recomended roots/roms. Thanks
I have no experience with this, so a HOWTO guide or a youtube vid would be nice. Ive only done jailbreaking on 3.1.2 on 3gs
Cm7 is still in a nightly on the o2x but it has alot of bugs, i think. Mdc fr17 is very stable and fast, it's 2.2.2 though
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App
If you want a clean, simple, fast and smooth ROM like you said ide go for the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version -
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/
This is also extremely stable as its based on the stock ROM but with all bloatware removed, also read some of the pinned topics on the links below, this will show you all you need to do.
http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/
For bleeding edge stuff, hope on the CM7 nightly train, but don't complain if it crashes.
If you want stability, then try the MoDaCo stock based ones.
You don't need much of a tutorial to do it, use SuperOneClick to gain root, grab ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install ClockworkMod Recovery... download the ROM you want, wipe & install (also via CWM if you don't want to fiddle)
Hi
If you don't want to install a custom ROM:
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
-Install latest firmware and baseband for your region (or another region if you prefer)
-root your phone
-Install ROM Manager from Market and install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there
-Install dexopt fix
Now that you have a good base, look in market for an app to uninstall system apps (I have used Root Uninstaller). To completely remove system apps I think you need to remount /system rw, else you can freeze apps for easy restoring if you mess up.
I would also recommend installing launcherpro from market (replace home screen and app drawer) and google stock lockscreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033776&highlight=aosp+lockscreen
Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna try the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version. I have an exam tmrow and will therefore not try it out until the afternoon. I also have to read some, and learn the difference between root and boot, and some of ur advance words havent found a real guide yet, but have the iso and all those other folders that was in the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version.
great fun
I think the phone drain battery too fast in 2.2 (official rom)
I loose 40% of battery within 6 hours without using anything (when I'm sleeping during a night)
That's why I change to use 2.3 and I found that the battery problem is gone
I loose 1% in 12 hours.
I'm also new to the fun world of android. I've learned alot by simply reading threads and using google to explain som of the terms Read the roll up thread very thorougly, explains alot.
I'm now using CM nightly #31 and it's been very stable for me.
Just do some backups and start toying around with your phone, it's fun!
..but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth = cyanogenmod!
So far, from temasek is the best.. he got a custom kernel too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
My Opinion,
Android 2.3 from teamsek. It is just brilliant.
Android 4.0 from xxMrHyde + Nova Kernel is quite good keeping in mind the state of ICS on the 2X.

Me too, it's the best ICS Rom i've ever seen, no lags, super fast (@1ghz!) and IMO completely stable, just some little bugs.
So, I see that there is a 2.1 update for the HTC Hero CDMA from Sprint and I'm very interested in upgrading to be able to use some of the better software out there that doesn't work on 1.5.
The thing is, I finally managed to fix this phone from a bad rooting procedure (it's a used phone, the previous owner rooted it using who-knows-what method and ROM, which caused the wifi to stop working) after spending weeks on the problem and finally have a good, fully-functional phone. So, now, I'm a bit paranoid about any rooting or upgrade procedure, though I suspect and official update from a Sprint shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm also considering doing a basic rooting (no custom ROM) so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make a complete backup, but, again, I'm very leery about it.
Is there any possibility that rooting, in and of itself, could cause the wifi to stop working or was it that the specific ROM that was installed didn't have the right wifi driver?

Well we've had some that had broken wifi long ago but really you probably just could've flashed a new working kernel over it and the problem would be gone. If you wanna stay stock-ish I'd recommend fresh 2.1 but if you wanna really see it fly flash kush-deck gb. Flash the. 29 kernel after you boot and you will never regret it

Thanks, I'll check those out sometime. Have you got links for them?
Believe me, you don't want the stock Sprint 2.1 on your Hero. It's terrible. Super slow and it freezes constantly. I ran it for a short time after Sprint released it and that's when I decided to root. If I remember correctly you also can't put your apps on the SD card with it which really limits how many apps you can install.
I am running CyanogenMod 6.0 Froyo with ADW Launcher (built into the Rom) and its snappy and reliable but still has a lot of the bells and whistles. Try Beautiful Widgets and you can have a homescreen clock with animated weather just like the HTC Sense homescreen.
I tried CM 6.1.1 recently (updated froyo with new features) but it used more internal memory than 6.0 which made my phone laggy.
Be sure to get the appropriate Google apps zip file with the new Market

Hello!
I have just bought my new LG Optimus 2x, and I have some quesitons.
With this phone i have shifted from symbian to android and i have some questions.
Firtsly, (not sure if this is legal to discuss here) do cracked apps exist? Is there something like jailbreaking on iOS?
Secondly, I have seen a lot of talk about rooting. What does rooting actually do?
Thirdly, I have checked the CM7 topic but it is just so big, and the last opdate on the first post is very outdated. Can you explain where to find the newest updates for 2.3 version of CM7 and how to mod my ROM?
And lastly, which launcher do you suggest to replace the stock LG one.
Thanks!
Rooting is jailbreak equivalent, getting "root" admin access.
Apps, well you just search for .apk files on the usual sites, filestube etc.
Cm7 I don't think is the best option at the moment, but I'll let someone else cover that.
Goodluck with your new phone.

Rooting gives you access to admin account so no need to jailbreak something lol, more simple.
Same for apps, Market is full if apps and most if the time you have free ones that will suit your needs.
At the moment you have to choose between CM7 and the leaked GB (like the one I run).
CM7 is still in RC stage but is usable clearly in daily use, leaked GB roms have still some bugs but very active dev are working in it and performance is great !
Not very hard and long to go from one to another BTW... Help yourself and hop in the train!
For speed and clean android-software I would recomend CM7 (android 2.3.7). If you would like LG Software built on android, like stock, there is some leaked customized Roms to install (android 2.3.4)
CM7(CyanogenMod7) : http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
You'll know how to navigate to download of CM7 for Optimus2x when you click on link
As for how to root and flash (install) it, you'll find the answere in the forum if you just search a little.
good luck with your new phone, and welcome to Android comunity

I am guessing that means the same as SimDroid said "stock LG"
So, what advantage does stock LG firmware have? If its 2.3.4 it's older. Is it better optimised for optimus 2x?

Could you help me with that?

The gingerbread rom we're all using at the moment is the 2.3.4 gingerbread rom, but there are multiple variations and community edits of it.
I'm guessing your phone is on 2.2.2 at the moment, which is a pretty horrible release.
Anyway go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002 and pick one. I'm currently using Topogigi 1.9 which is the fastest ROM i've tried, no errors that I know of, fast boot time too.
You need to flash baseband and kernel also, see:

The advantage of stock = leak GB is that every feature of the phone is working. With Topogigi ROM you have many bugs that have been corrected, and a custom kernel with many tweaks in the system that makes this MOD extremley fast, and very good. The remodded 2.3.4 GB firmware are very different from the original leak.
On the contrary, as it is a leak version, there isn't any official source available, so it's often hard for dev to fix things. And it's not opensource.
CM7 is opensource at 100%, based on Google android sources plus all the dev work. Recently a big improvement was made as Aramcee (the dev leader of O2X CM7 branch) managed to make A2DP work, so now you can have Bluetooth headsets working in CM7, which was not possible before.
Still no Radio FM app in CM7 as radio stack sources are not available, and HDMI mirroring works only at 720p and not 1080. The differences between 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 are not major,in Android versioning the third number means minor improvements most of the time not noticable by user.
Both enable overclocking/undervolting if that's interest you. They are both very smooth and snappy. In CM7 there is a very good support for HID (keyboard, mouses and so on) via Bluetooth. Not in stock GB (no sources).
CM7 was a bit instable those past few days but it should be corrected. Every night you have a new build, but you don't need to reflash every day as there are not at each time new things for Optimus 2X. Upggrading is trivial as it doesn't wipe your data, takes a couple of minutes.
For custom stock ROM, updates are more irregular, but very frequent too.
So no real objective differences between those two families of ROM. If you need HDMI and FM Radio you have no choice.
Okay,
Thanks a lot for your answers and your time!
One last thing:
Lg launcher
Launcher pro
ADW.launcher
slidescreen
go launcher EX

I just want a more stable and less problematic os. My gf's Xperia arc with a single core runs better... lol
Many folks have different setups they have reached via trial and error. As per my findings most stable setup is Miui + Owains Tweak Pack.
Miui on its own is a little slow and laggy, with owains tweak pack it gets upto speed and then adds cool things like voodoo sound and google talk video. Currently I am on miui 1.10.28 and I will be upgrading to new miui with new tweak pack next week.
The only issue you will face is the phone will say that you have to turn on data roaming. It shows up as rogers wireless and I have been running it like this for a month and have not incurred any extra charges. So its fine as far as I'm concerned.
This same issue is also in Cyanogenmod (miui uses cyanogenmod code). Cm7 is very good but takes A LOT of tinkering to get to a decent state and also I got horrible battery life with it. Thats why I moved to miui and then discovered this wonderful forum with people like fajarep and higsy and owain94 who are doing custom things for my phone.
Fido has release the GB update through the LG Support Tool.
The only bad thing for me was that the Support Tool can't detect my firmware version after the update. Oh well, I'll deal with that if the roll out the ICS update for us

Not fair. The LG Update tool is not working for me it says I'm at the latest firmware. Im on 2.2.2. I'm on Fido aswell and I can't get it to work. I'm calling Fido on monday I'm so upset. The 2.2.2 is so buggy and has screen unresponsiveness issues. (many froyo roms do)
Same thing here
I am having the same issue. What's the deal here. It says phone is already latest , no need to update. But my firmware is still listed as being 2.2.2 Althugh few months ago when I checked using the tool it said there was an update required and it actually did flash my phone . Afterwards I noticed my " version #" had changed to v21b . However to my dismay, the firmware version remained unchanged at 2.2.2. What's up . Is this what people mean when I read references to " fake gingerbread" In relation to Optimus x2 updates??
Sigh, the crazy part is I recently heard a statement from LG saying that the x2 was one of the phones that has been slated for an ICS 4.0 update! huh? One empty promise at a time please ,LG
Thanks to anyone who can clarify .

I was in the same sinking boat as you are now. I have the O2X while i ot my gf the Xperia. I haven't rooted her phone, but mine was done a day or two after i got it.
I tried using the LG tool to update, and gave up. Way too so for my taste.
So i turned to CM7 and followed it religiously, till i turned pagan to my new lord(till ICS comes out officially), Temasek.
Im currently running Temasek's nightly Kang, 66 i believe. I had tried CM7's #218 nightly, but wasn't crazy about it. Didn't seem as stream lined as Tamasek's.
Just tried the ported version of ICS from Ricardo Cerqueira, very nice introduction. But i myself had too many issues with it, maybe should have done a full wipe, swipe and dump before installing it.
But all in all L1qu1d, don't be scared to root.... you won't regret it.
And good old nightly or kang can work wonders...
I think the only thing that concerns people about rooting is that they may not be able to get the official ICS update WHEN they finally decide to release it. Obviously you can revert/deroot etc and then you should be fine.. but still... lol. nerves.
LOL
i even forgot that there is such thing as lg tool.

Yeah, CM7.0.1 is pretty old now, and I think you should try a CM 7.2 KANG. Those are very stable too. If you wish you can always add some custom kernels too to increase the performance.

Hi, i am also new to the LG-P990, i got 2.3.4 out the box and my LGE Version is V20d. Is that the latest? Used the LGMobile tool and that says something about Mobile phone not being supported??

There are so many 2.3.4 official LG 2x rom on the internet, all start with "V20..".
Generally speaking, the letter at the end means the location.
v20d is one of Asian LG official 2.3.4 rom distribute in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I only know that the latest version now in Hong Kong is v20e.
I am sure you will google a list of LG 2x official rom if you want to.

Yeah. I agree with you. However, only one problem I have found that is photo taken by CM rom is not as good as official LG.
That's why I am now still using official "modified" v20e (Hong Kong) rom with the latest Hourse Power Kernel.
Just bought o2x.
I got home i root install miui.
Im a lg user thats why its so easy. Hehehe
Read the roll up sticky thread at dev sections. Its so easy.
