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

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

what i would do in your case is go to the develpoment section and either flash a v20L official gingerbread update (kdz file, you will find an explanation thread how to flash it in there) or download an official froyo rom from original firmware section.
as far as i know you cant flash roms from PC, only basebands/ official updates and so. you need to flash roms through clockworkmod recovery.
concerning CM7 i use nightly builds. they are constantly updated with new stuff/ fixes etc, so its the very latest version of the rom. experimental mod is something you should not care about . and a stable build is basically a nightly that has been picked as a stable build.
cheers

Hi there,
Can someone point me to a page with kernels. I was trying to look my self under Development but I lost my self.
I'm looking for a page with a list of kernels that fit my LG optimus 2X. I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1, and I must say it's a lot better then the original ROM.
Cheers.

I have just tried: Ironkernel:

After the reboot the screen turns black and nothing happen. I cleaned the cache before!
Can you help me with that?
first don't use cm7.1 since cm 7.1 is little bit old. use kang version either temasek or koboltz cause kang (temasek one) is already built with new kernel 2.6.32.49
second if you want to flash the kernel don't choose vorkkernel because it's already not updated (no offense)
if you want to use the kernel for CM use either vadonka kernel or ironkernel they both updated.
swifthextreme nah it's already abondend by the creator
but it's all yours decision, i just give you suggestion

I am also a bit lost here. I just wanted to try vadonka's kang kernel together with MIUI 2.1.6, but when I started the phone up I saw that I couldn't use Wifi anymore. It would give me an error when trying to switch it on.
I tried re-flashing vadonka's kernel and saw the output: "Checking for ROM ...., found incompatible ROM, aborting!"
Isn't it supposed to work with MIUI?
i like the ironkrnl, except the newer versions with ram hack cause a few issues..
Take me to the right way
I am also a beginner in modifying my P990. The stock rom (2.3.4) is going on my nerves so I decided to put a custom rom (temasek's KANG build P204-48) and Vadonkas KANG kernel (23-01-2012). Is it possible to backup original (stock) kernel and whether there is a need for make it? Is it possible to put stock kernel again someday?

boot into CWM and perform full backup. this will backup ure rom
I know that, what about kernel?
once you do a Nandroid backup from CWM (for stock ROM) it will do a backup to your sd card with all the components of the ROM (full backup) at that time (including kernel).

Hey you all, I didn't want to post a new thread since the topic describes me well and the mentioned rom and kernel are of interest.
So I basically decided to go with your recommendations, but have a few questions that I would really appreciate if someone could answer.
I currently have CM7.1 and under kernel it says "2.6.32.45-cyanogemod [email protected] #1"... but I am dissapointed with it, so I want to install the following:
[CM7][KANG][JAN27] temasek's KANG BUILD P204-50 - Option to disable volume key beep!
[CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][JAN27] CM7/V20l hybrid
Now to my questions:
1. Baseband: will I need to install new baseband or is it included in any of the above or won't it get changed if I don't do it manually and in that case is baseband version "1035.21_20110622" ok??
2. Order: In what order do I install all of the above (including baseband if I should update it)? (maybe someone could point me to a beginners-guide or so). I've installed CM but it was long ago and I don't really recall having done anything with any kernel so that's completely new to me.
3. Would you recommend the above mentioned combination to get a stable Optimus 2x? (I currently experience spontaneuous reboots and can't sometime even find a 3G network, as this gets on my nervs I seek "the most stable" solution right now)
Thanks in advance!
1. A baseband flash is not necessary, only when you experience real signalcand call quality problems. Flashing a new rom +, kernel won't change your baseband at all. Make sure to get a matching RIL using the GetRIL app.
2. First flash Temaseks KANG and then flash vadonkas KANG kernel. If you're coming from CM, just wipe cache and dalvik. Otherwise wipe everything.
3. This combination is very stable in my opinion. It's also very fast and smooth and has a great battery life.

Hi guys,
Currently i just rooted my phone and successfully install CM7 KANG by Koboltz (sorry if i spell it wrong ) ..many thanks bro for the KANGin... It really smooth and trouble free from my experience using it for 2 weeks now
Now I really want to take my O2X to the next level by try to install custom kernel on it .. and my choice is Vadonka's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427646
However i always failed to install the recent Update 2012.01.17 .. any version i tried I always got bootloop on CM7 logo...always stuck there and wont go in to the system.
The only Vadonka's kernel i managed to install successfully is LGE-KaNG_120109 its super smooth and stable but i got a bug that i cant play my PES 2012 on it -- PES always stuck on konami logo and then force close.
anybody have the same problem with me ?
Is there any way i cant play PES 2012 on that kernel (LGE-KaNG_120109).. or is there any settings that i need to change ?
And are there any way to know what causing bootloop on Vadonka's newest kernel ? -- maybe is there something i need to do to diagnostic this maybe ?
(yes i did all the clean / wipe stuff before and after installing) but still it bootloop on CM7 logo on newest kernel.
other than that Vadonka has created or KANG one of the best kernel i think for o2x -- at least that is what my friend said
but still thanks to Vadonka
Thanks in advance for any help guys
UPDATE:
I tried Vadonka's latest Update 2012.01.18 but it still give me bootloop on CM7 logo.
I did try to use init remover by Vadonka to remove init script
I did try to disable compcache in CM7 setting
I did wipe cache and dalvik
Still i'm not able to boot
Try temasek's kang (link in signature) maybe this will work.
I see, I will try temasek's KANG... been actually thinking ti change rom but still learning about this rom and kernel stuff.
Thanks for the advice

Well on the good side, Temasek's kang #50 is bullet fast and rock stable for me. .. and after applying androidon tweak its just like bullet covered in butter.

I'm not sure about this but afaik vadonka made a lot of tweak along with his kernel and that might conflict with tweak in gueste rom .. please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think its better to wait kernel only installer from vadonka or you can try temasek kernel only.
I would like to try gueste 3.1 rom but maube I'll wait for it this weekend.

You can try out IronKrnl . The 32MB version has been stable for me for the last two days . And I have infact patched IronKrnl with Vadonka's init.d AIO tweaks and trying that out now . Vadonka's kernel was fast when I had it on my O2X but I experienced frequent FC's with the phone radio so I reverted back to stock CM7 kernel and patched IronKrnl . Having said that I think Vadonka's kernel is likely to be newer and more optimised if it gets stable
Always take a Nandroid backup of the existing stock & stable image before flashing a new kernel . It saves a lot of a headache . And to flash a totally different kernel I would recommend you to revert to stock and then flash the new kernel . The faster way would be to revert only the boot.img file but that might leave behind some stray settings .
also i have problem with the newest etana kernel by vadonka, it makes the cpu getting hot , and dont know why
Try to flash back prior to installing vadonka's kernel. Apparently there are some issues with his current kernel that I've experienced as well so it's better off with the stock kernel.
Currently I'm stick with Temasek kang #55 and with default kernel. Its been very stable and smooth for a week now, and u don't even have charging BSOD again since I set the screen awake while charging.
Latest Temasek kang #58 is out now, and I have yet to decide if I want to use it or use Gueste 3.1
Anyone tried gueste 3.1 from CM 7 without data wipe? ? ( only cache and dalvik wipe) cause I don't want to install all my programs from scratch. Is it even possible, since gueste 3.1 is also based on CM 7 ?

Hi,
I've been using Gueste 3.2 hybrid revolution for a day now, and i muat admit this is the smoothest rom i ever use in my entire o2x life.
The stock lg launcher is covered with butter. I even try to install go launcher ex, and ita still very smooth like never before.
Then i say many many thanks to Mr. Temasek for his Kang efforts and Mr. Stefan for this smooth rom.
My other experience today is for the pimp my cpu app always ask for super user privilege ... I always set to allow and tick on the remember box ... but it always keep asking.
For that i maybe a noob because i don't know how to sett the proper super user... but no impact on performance whatsoever until now.
Anybody know how to use pimp my cpu ? or atleast make it not keep asking for super user privilege. ?

also there is "SD card not found" bug with CM7 roms/kangs.
Modaco's GR6 looks more stable. SODs are rare but with Spica's kernels it starts to behave similar to CM7.
So if you have stable 2X with no or very rare (rare = max 1 in week) SODs - please tell me - which ROM with which kernel (if any) are you using? Any other mods/settings/apps?

Every phone is different... but if your phone is like mine... you can install any GINGER rom based on STOCK rom. Not Cyanogen.
For example, v20q (the last version available).
You must change the baseband too. For example the 725 from v20q.
If you want to change the kernel, the R11-R from spica is great, after that, all versions have problems in some phones.
Regards!
Have you checked that is not related to one of the programs you have installed? I used to have SODs until I removed a battery saver I had installed, that is half a year ago and I haven't had any since then.
Just to be sure in the safe side you might try to use your phone for a whole week w/o any apps and see if that is the case.
BTW, currently I am using CM7 nightly build 204.
Cheers.
I'm on Temasek's kangs with various Vadonka's kernels - for quite a long time. No problms found. I cannot recall problems on other roms either (I used mainly MoDaCo ones).
How about doing the clean install, i.e. do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, then install e.g. Temasek Kang #69. Just that - bare system. Then check if your phone is still unstable.
EDITED: the only app that you should install is GetRIL - to get your BB and RIL in sync. BTW, which BB are you on?
Some phones can't handle low frequecies (216MHz), you may change the lowest freq. with setCPU or an other tool like this. Maybe it helps.

BB is one more unsolved mistery - i cant understand - are all 725 the same or is there diference between them? i also tried that 1120 that was posted here on forums - that BB was buggy as hell for me so i went back to 725.

Some phones can't handle low frequecies (216MHz), you may change the lowest freq. with setCPU or an other tool like this. Maybe it helps.

ill check it!
Thanks for the tips guys! First ill check Temasek Kang #69 without soft and will see what happens.
I use an older Temasek with IronKernel00. About 2 weeks old install? Never flashed another Baseband, i think i am on the stock(?) 725.
Not a single SOD. But again, never had a SOD on the stock ROM from LG, even in the Froyo times. Well, had a SOC when the phone were OC'ed to 1.55
Been using Temasek's kang for a while and it is quite stable. I'm on stock kernel as well.
Since you also mentioned that your device sometimes fails to detect your SDcard, I believe it could be corrupted. Have you tried formatting it? (make a backup first).

I have been using the ICS Nova HD from the very start it went aviable for download and no SoD yet.
Hi. I had the same problems as you do when I was using Juice Defender with its profiles.
A month ago I deleted it and started using setcpu and I didn't had any SOD anymore.
Using tamasek's kang 69+ Vadonka's kernel
any more lucky cm7 users?
There aren't "lucky" users, sods are caused mainly by:
-radio errors: the phone shuts-off because baseband encounters a critical error, and kernel goes in panic. This is common in cm7 roms, because ril is closed-source (so radio commands are obtained via reverse-engeenering), so we don't know the exact commands and radio management. A normal phone usage should not encounter this kind of SoD. Juicedefender or Toggle2G tweak continuously radio settings (i.e. internet activation or 2G/3G switching), so in cm7 these app are not recommended.
-kernel panic: phone shuts-off because of a generic kernel panic. The main cause of kernel panic is a bad/aggresive-tweaked custom kernel, or UV/OC. An unknown cause of kernel panic happens sometimes during phone charging.
I DON'T RECOMMEND UNDERVOLTING, a lot of phone could not manage that. I had a lot of SoDs because of that.
If I wrote something wrong please correct me.

I haven't had any SOD yet. Use my 2X since last April.
Been on Stock, Modaco Fr19, Gueste v2.2, Gueste v3.1, Gueste v3.2 and am on Temaseks last KANG.
Tried different Kernels as well.
CM7 is highly recommended to be used with BB and RIL 218. Maybe this is the source of your problems.
If your Phone gets this SODs that often, I would revert to stock and return it.
Chances are high, that you will get a newer and bug free specimen.
if you use cm7 kang #69 and with etana kernel, i suggest you change the minimum value to 324 MHZ since it doesn't give me SOD at all. with my pimp my CPU configuration like this:
default: 324-1100MHZ.
idle / screen off: max & min 324 MHZ.
i don't Undervolt since it will give problem with my device. i guess i have the crap one can't undervolt

nah, i use the BB and RIL 0725 SEA
thanks for your advices. will check frequencies at start - then ill will start to mess with BBs and RILs.
I have found that this might be bb related issue soding my phone all the time. With 1120 and 1120 ril my phone is stable. No sods in week. I flashed back to 725 and i had 2 sods in one day. Also i had difficulties to find correct ril as with a lot of 725 rils i did had other problems. For know im using system in my sig and i am quiet happy.
Hi guys, just bought an O2X yesterday and I want to be sure of the steps on how to take my Froyo to CM7 or any other GB for that matter, so here's what I think it should be done:
1.- Root the phone (seems Gingerbreak works on this phone with froyo?)
2.- Install CWM (Can install from ROM manager unless I wanna be able to flash from internal memory in which case I should install the modded vesion?)
3.-Change baseband?? (this is my biggest concern, I'm on 1035.21)
4.- Flash rom + gapps if needed
Please guys if you can confirm my thoughts on all the 4 steps it'd be much appreciated
_BONUS QUESTION_
Is the hdmi and camera working completely or is the stock froyo better on those aspects, as I don't see a thread for official CM7 I'm guessing I should just download from download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990 ?
Thanks again.

You are almost right there m friend.
There is an unofficial CM7 thread out there by Temasek and MisjudgedTwat....it is more than what you can ever see.For CM7 ROMs, choose Kernels by Temasek or by MisjudgedTwat or by Vadonka.
If you are looking at Stock based ROMs, then go for DjangoManouche1.3 beta16. Stock based ROMs + HP or Gueste Kernels.
for the Baseband,you have to come out with the full version number ...what you have mentioned is not complete.Try V20Q for the BB with V10 series RIL...Normally, CM7 comes with a RIL which is enough. Install GetRIL app from the play store and you can change RIL if it is not compatible. For the Stock based ROMs, you can flash the V20Q Base band + v20Q RIL(both are 725 stuff)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. Now the baseband thing got me a little confused, if I go for official CM7 which will come with a RIL I'd have to install a matching baseband. Can I do that afterwards or do I have to change the baseband first?. I remember with my O1 I flashed a rom and got no service because I was on wrong bb, and flashing the bb fixed it. I just wanna be sure it's fixeable if I mess up
btw.
BB version: 1035.21_20110602
LGE Version: LGP990h-V10a

Look at this thread...it has all the BB related things.You can flash the BB which is V20Q which is the latest for O2X (your choice as it is the service provider,region,device and so on)and this is the best as you will see in the thread which has a poll. you can then flash the ROM with the three wipes...dalvik,user data and cache.Dont forget to backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup pro or any other app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658047
you can then use the GetRIL app to choose your RIL...which is normally with the ROM.Best way would be flash the BB and then flash the ROM(to save time). Flashing the BB will wipe the complete data. Take a backup through CWM before.even if ou have an issues with wifi,mobile data 3G, dont worry to choose the correct RIL and reboot.
if you have any issues, wipe the three wipes and reflash the ROM.normally, you wont have any issues....just do it...
I am only trying to help...dont blame me for bricking ur phone...follow instructions and we all have a great device...YOU WILL TOO

Thanks again man, I've a better idea now. I'll keep using my phone with stock rom for a week to have something to compare to and then go crazy trying roms
I know everything I do with my phone is my full responsibility so no worries there.
Thanks!
