[Q] New to kernels :) - LG Optimus 2x

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.

For cm you can choose between these kernels:
Ironkernel:

Ironkernel (Vadonkas KANG) :

Vorkkernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059910
SwiftExtreme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183
Personally I would recommend either two of Ironkernel to use, because Vorkkernel is in my opinion not stable enough and the development of SwiftExtreme stopped

CM7.2 Temasek KANG P204-30
Ironkernel (Vadonkas KANG)

I have just tried: Ironkernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1359307
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

Hi antec123,
Can you send me a direct link to kang version?

Antec123 is right, you should try the latest KANG, here you go:

that's the link, sorry forgot to add . but make sure u backup your apps at least using titanium backup

Guys... thanks a lot for the help!
I have installed KANG's ROM and Ironkernel (Vadonkas KANG). So far it looks really good. I look forward for the next few days to see an improvement in the battery life.
Cheers.

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?
Thanks and sorry for my eng.

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).

all inclusive with the backup as the backup copies the files and zips them

is it required to calibrate the battery after flashing a new kernel ??or is it only required for roms???

no it is not.
battery calibration is placebo - you can calibrate if u really want to (from cwm do delete battery stats, although if you read the link below you will understand that its b.s)

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.

Thanks for the info! Flashing (2.) is simply done by using ClockworkMod Recovery?

[Q] Soon to be Optimus 2x owner- Flashing CM7

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...

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

[Q] Help, Lg otptimus 2x won't boot after trying to install custom rom

Hi, I tryed to install a custom rom using the modaco guide (I problably shouldnt have done his in the first place)
I used "rom manger" to reboot in recovery and install the zip and now when I turn on the phone it keeps restarting and doesn't boot. Can someone please help me?? Is the anything I can do?
I think the problem is th I didn't format the rom in EXT3, is there anything I can do?

Maybe your assessment is right.....try to upload a new custom ROM with a EXT 4 (autoconverted ROM) which are available in the Dev thread....like Django or Topo or Thanatos 5.1 etc. Or try Gueste for EXT3 ROM. Do all the wipes(cache, data and Dalvik). Then reboot....should be ok.
I understand that you are rooted already and enter the recovery menu to do all this.
Hopefully it works for you
Remove memory card put it into you comp,downlad back to ext3 . Put mc back into phone boot into recovery and flash back to ext3

The problem is that I can't boot into recovery mode. When I "long press" the "volume down" botton it goes into an update screen and gets stuk!
It's power button plus volume down at the same time keeping them pressed until you see the second LG logo.
Only volume down stands for upgrade mode (smartflash)
No, I just wasn't doing it right! I've managed to boot into recovery mode now I have to find an EX4 Rom, back up doesn't work! That's just great!
Ok, I'm downloading Thanatos2X v5.1 EXT4, it's going to take forever because I'm a free user in file sonic and I have a slow connection to

Thats a great ROM. It gives you a great battery life after Battery calibration and a few re-charges.
also a free RAM as well......good going

Android 4 is Icecream Sandwhich and today we dont have ICS for LG O2X...just a few ICS themed ROMs but not a full ICS for O2X. 0.5Django is based with ICS themed ROM and also good for battery and system performance. Check the DEV threads

[Q] Need help about installing custom kernel on CM 7 - Vadonka's KANG

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

Installing Vadanko tweaks failed for me aswell :-(. My battery drain is ridiculous (think I'll just have to settle with a spare battery)

Temasek rules!...
I use "CherryPics" Kernel (for CM7/Kang) with it
May be a driver/hardware module that causes your phone to hang and some other versions? (these parts are very "ROM specific" or Kernel inclusions...)
Yes I did try to use Temasek's kang #50 now, but still unable to use Vadonka's latest kernel.
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 must say many thanks to Temasek, AndroidON and surely CM team and every other coder.
But I still kinda curious to try Vadonka's kernel....hope better luck next time

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.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
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 ?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
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. ?

Whatever, temasek ROM were always packed with stability and features and just the cm with cherry picks
Stefan ROM was more stockish with cm features.gave more battery life according to users.
I can tell you that you should see the number of users and posts.....tema was and is such a magic weaver
Difficult to choose mate.....try both of them

I am sure you will need the dual boot

Hi, i have a samsung galaxy S i9000 and i'm kinda new with it
all i want is to make it faster because it runs very slow , i've seen youtube videos about testing some games on the same phone but some of them won't even open up. i got more interested in upgrading it and started searching around on how to. So here is what i want to do:
I want to upgrade it by changing my Rom in Cyanogen 9 and kernel Devil 3. I don't even know if it is good but i'm sure its better than gingerbread.
Can some1 help me out with it , maybe post a little tutorial how to do it.
Aditional info :

CyanogenMod (CM) 9 is really outdated. If you want a good, fast ROM I can recommend Slimbean. It's largely based on CM. You can find more info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
Detailed instructions can be found in that thread and on the slimrom website.
Coming from Gingerbread you'll need to install CM10 first, otherwise you will lose your IMEI, which will render your phone unable to make or place calls. Once on CM10 you can then flash Slimbean.
Or using an newer version of CM

Like i said in the original post i wanted rom cm9 with devil 3 kernel but still didnt know what that means...( the kernel part)
Now that i got the cm10 ive searched around videos on youtube and seen lot of ppl kinda overclocking it with diferent kernel...
I want to do it like with semaphore or some kernel thing... can someone explain to me how it is done and if it is good for the phone?
Some infos:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband vers: I9000xxJVT
Kernel version: 3.0.76-gc0a8d45
Memory: 369 mb
Cm vers: 10.1.2-galaxysmtd
Okay different kernel i have no experience with it ,sorry...
But overclocking is available with the stock-kernel in CM 10 ...to about 1200mhz in the performance menu under your settings ...have you activate developer options and performance...do you know how to do it???

Your clock isnt stable go download semaphore kernel or devil kernel and flash it in recovery and try then over clocking with their kernel managers.

Some Qs:
Do i flash semaphore kernel same way i installed ROM?
Will semaphore replace current ROM (cm10)??
Did some1 had any problems with semaphore kernel ? like bricking the phone? is it stable?
Is anyone at the current time having cm10 with smaphore kernel overclocking at 1.2ghz ?
Does Sgs i9k support the overclock stable?

You flash semaphore the same way you flashed your rom and it will replace stock cm kernel your rom will stay the same make sure you flash the right version to avoid any bricking. It makes cm run better. Overclock depends on your phone some people can overclock high some not so much. Download semaphore changer governor to sio and liveoc to 110% and set min frequenci 400Mhz. That should be enough to make it supper smooth

EDIT: make sure after flashing to download semaphore manager from the playstore its like a control panel for semaphore where all the settings are and i repeat make sure you flash the right version for your android version and phone i9000.

I don't get it why do you want to flash another kernel? Aren't you happy now with smooth CM10.1x? Here on this forum are many flashing freaks who flash and overclock their phones until the device completely crashes.
CM10.1x is excellent already way it is, if you want to even improve it (first of all to get about double battery life) just upgrade it to the newest nightly version of CM10.2 tomorrow (build 20130828), it will finally have all bigger bugs fixed. Very soon, stable CM.10.2 build will be released out of this nightly. This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385178
If you want to do it, just mind that the developer (pawitp) doesn't mention anymore installing gapps, so this would be the workflow from your present ROM:
Do a Nandroid Backup of your CM10.1.2 build before the upgrade!
Go to CWM recovery mode and check first in "install zip" if your zips of the CM10.2 and Gapps for 4.3 are visible on your internal SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
Install the nightly ROM zip from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Install Gapps for CM10.2 (Android version 4.3) while still in recovery
Restore /data from Nandroid Backup (the update will wipe your /data) while still in recovery
Reboot system
The partition layout of CM10.2 (beginning from 20130816 nightly) differs of that of CM10/CM10.1. The first install will wipe your /data to switch to the new layout, but after that you may use CWM to restore/backup data of CM10/10.1/10.2 (in CWM recovery under "advanced restore" then "restore data" from your CM10.1 nandroid backup)
This way done, you should have all data, wallpaper, widgets and apps like in your CM10.1 right after the reboot. And wait until tomorrow, when the 20130828 nightly gets released. I've been using "buggy" builds (nightlies between 24 and 27 Aug) without any problems, but some people had problems with them.
