Since I got my o2x i have been customing and upgrading trying to find its happiness and i can honestly say I have!!! My o2x is currently whizzing around like its on an overdoze of speed. I am a heavy user, I use my o2x for everything and I sometimes feel sorry for the poor thing. I have tried lots of customs roms and kernels but this worked so well for me I have to talk about it so here it goes.
If you are still reading I assume you have already rooted your device and currently have a stock rom on it, if not please don't ask me as I am not a developer and I am sure you know how the internet (google search) works. This is what worked for me and if it doesnt for you I am really sorry but find your own happiness.
Right to business:
1. Get on CM7 latest nightly
2. Follow Temasek http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425 and get kanged
3. Swiftextreme kernel (wish that developer comes back to xda ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183
3. Match RIL with get RIL (725 v10d, Europe) worked for me
Voila your o2x is now a superphone on speed, if it works for you, you will feel the difference.
Keep your tweaks (kangs and kernels) in a folder where you can easily update and recover. You will have to repeat the steps when updating kang.....no wipe necessary.
FYI: please note that I am a user and not a developer and I cannot be held responsible for your device....READ INSTRUCTIONS properly and always BACKUP before flashing (cos it makes people get a better view lol....sorry had to).
Does it work for you? Dont thank me thanks to all the great developers of the android community who are priceless and make priceless contributions.
Post your device's happiness. What is working for you?
Congrats! Our phone is really great when rooted and flashed a custom rom and kernel on it...
One thing is... SwiftExtreme is really outdated and you should try another kernel like:
Ironkernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307
Vadonkas KANG kernel:

These kernels are I think better than swiftextreme
Enjoy in your new phone. You wont regret that

i know swiftextreme is outdated and thats what shocked me....i have tried ironkernel and it constantly crashes and for some reason Vadonkas kernel not working for me, phone doesnt boot nothing. I am on swiftextreme now and it is extremely stable quickly switching between apps. I can be gaming, tethering and replying to my messages everything, which with ironkernel it would start lagging and rebooting but this is really stable. Vandonkas look good and I might give it a go
Hmm these kernels should work with the latest kangs
what about camera? is it good? did you compared it with one on stock rom? IMHO low quality camera is the only, but huge disadvantage of custom roms that are not based on stock.
Yeah I know but for some reason just not working for my o2x. Wud be great to have a more up to date kernel but swiftextreme works really well. I'll keep following updates see if I get lucky

Congratulations, I'm really happy with my 2X too
My set is:
MIUI Moon101 + the last vadonka kernel + bb 824
The difference with the stock ROMs is really huge.
even though swiftkernel is outdated I think it is the most stable, using with latest wajkiui (2.1.20) vadonka looked interesting but my phone is constantly crashing with it :S, anyone else have the same with lastest wajkiui?
I totally agree with you, I've never had my phone this stable I don't close apps no more just switch between them. I hope it manages with the newest kangs.

- HP SR2 Kernel
- Performance Pack V9
- very smooth V20o SQLite Libs for better scrolling
- some other mods like Supercharger etc.
cant agree with you.
i have tried cm7 and miui. both were wonderful, no complains. works perfect, looks great. except camera. maybe i need some camera mod or something else?
i'm attaching two photos. one with miui rom other with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662. can't you see difference? both made in same conditions with same battery cover.

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.

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.

Hi there,
I am new to rooting and flashing etc
I have an LG Optimus 2X
I want to over clock my phone to 1.5GHz
I still have stock rom on froyo 2.2.2
LG-P990
Baseband 1035.21_20110614
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990-V10c
I have rooted with super one click.
Can someone please help me? I want to over clock to 1.5GHz and make it fast as possible. Could you please tell me step by step how to do this and what rom to use. I am currently on the stock rom. I have made a back up using rom manager. I have backed up all my apps using Titanium Backup. I may need another method for Nandroid Backup.
I heard that the update to Ginger bread was not good and has a bad camera app not like in 2.2.2. Is the rom and kernel that gives you 2.5GHz e.g. CM 7 going to be a different camera app to the one in froyo?
Thanks
Alright, luckily you have rooted so I don't have to explain that ...
First of all a titanium backup will just do fine so don't worry about that.
Second if you want to overclock you need to flash a custom overclock kernel on your phone. You can find many of those in the dev section of course. There are even custom overclock kernels for stock rom if you rather want to have stock instead of MIUI or CM.
So flashing a kernel goes as follows...
1. Download the kernel (duh.... )
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Flash Kernel
(this will only work for you if you want to flash a custom kernel for stock roms of course)
Then your next question...
Uhm... Yeah, I think it's true that the camera app on Froyo is better than on other roms. At least that's what I've read in the many threads here on XDA.
Hope this helped
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
WOW!! Thanks for the fast reply!! On other sites I would wait one day for an answer!
I would like to try cm7.1 stable but I am not sure if I would like it and I have never flashed a rom so a bit nervous.
What are you running currently?
Haha, but this is not just some other site this is XDA!
Currently I'm running a CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch. You can find IronKernel in the dev section of course.
If you want to try CM then I think you should also try a. CM7.2 KANG. Those are better than just ordinary CM7.0.1. Note that if you want to try cm, you have to do a full wipe in recovery mode (wipe data, cache, dalvik) but you can always restore your data with titanium backup.
What you also could do in case everything goes wrong (I highly doubt it) is to make a total rom backup from your stock rom so you can always go back to stock. You do this by going to ROM manager and click on backup ROM. To restore the backup you go to recovery and click on restore backup.
Personally I like CM more than any other rom because it's very smooth and has a nice UI. But this of course is just a matter of taste.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Is there really a kernel thaf allows overclocking to 1.5ghz on o2x? Because I only know spica's Horse power kernel did implemented it, but because there are so few devices that can run 1.5ghz stable, it was dropped back to 1.4ghz.
In fact there are many kernels which can run 1.5 Ghz stable. For example IronKernel, VorkKernel and Swiftextreme you can find them all in the dev section.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
You should precise that the above kernels are only for CM7.
On stock ROMs you can use Spica's kernels and FPS dr4go's ones.
On stock ROMs it was decided to get rid of 1.5 as depending of hardware flaws, some had great instability, and no real gain compared to 1408 MHz.
AFAIK, those speeds are not necessary for daily use... You won't gain much subjective smoothness I guess, with a good kernel at stock speed it's very snappy.
But you'll loose battery much more faster. Even 'non Tegra Zone' games are very fluid at stock speed, as most of them have been designed for monocore phones...
The only gain should be if you regularly read MKV HD films.

Oops yeah you're right
A KANG is a CM rom but then developed by some developers outside cyanogen. They use cyanogens source code and improve it to as they want. Often they put new or other things in the rom those are referred as cherry-picks. So a KANG is actually an improved CM stable ROM.

How do I get all this CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch?
What is the vadonkas powersave patch?
Is the CM7.2 KANG a single rom?
Yes. Flash the ROM in first of my previous answer (Temasek's Kang). Then grab Ironkernel in the kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307).
Vadonka : it's a script you add to any ROM you want, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310272&page=12 .... Search in posts Vadonka's signature, there are links for his script.
You should be aware that cm7 is nothing like stock LG roms. CM7 has original gingerbread looks and feel.
Thank you.
I am going to flash soon just a few more questions.
In the Ironkerne download page there are lots of files and there is:
ironkrnL32-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL96-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL64-20120103h0852.zip
Which one must I get the 32, 96 or 64?
Temasek's Kang:
He said "I've not tested those bluetooth stuffs I just added, so don't ask me."
Does this mean bluetooth might not work?
vadonkas Powersave patch:
Is the "CM7 kernel only (version: 2.6.32.45) for O2X" one I must use?

Hey again
IronKernel also comes with a ramhack for your phone. So 32, 64 and 96 just means the amount of extra mb ram for your phone.
However note that this ramhack also comes with a prize namely:
32 MB = no reboot possible
64 MB = 1080 p video recording and reboot doesn't work
96 MB = no reboot and no 1080 p/720 p video recording and some heavily textured 3d games might not work. Also for some reason the camera doesn't work either.
More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307
Second question:
It might not work, but you can always try it or just read the replies from other users. They'll inform whether it works or not. However you can assume that it works since it's a fairly recent KANG.
Third Question:
Yep, just flash it right over your IronKernel. You might want to wipe cache and Dalvik first. (at least that's what I did)
Or what you also could do is directly flash vadonkas hybrid on your phone. This contains already the latest IronKernel with patch.
Then your last question:
I'm using Go Launcher and widgetlocker too and yeah it will hide the gingerbread theme definitely if you install other themes for cm and for Go Launcher. Like for example ICS.

I don't need a ram hack.
What is ICS?
All I want to do is use a new good rom that has not bloat ware and stuff to slow it down, over clock to 1.5 and when screen is off under clock to save battery.
Now I don't want to do a ram hack since I don't know what it is or why I need it.
I am now confused. please help.
Bluetooth works since long in CM (that means a couple of month at least lol), but to test A2DP (bluetooth audio pairing to listen music on external devices) you must have... a dedicated device, and probably Temasek doesn't have one.
I don't kown anything in IronKernels, I don't use CM7 anymore.
If you want to try stock without bloat I think Gueste 2X is a good choice. I clearly think 1.5GHz OC is not a critical point to evaluate a ROM/Kernel.
What's gueste 2x??
Tell me please. I wanna flash ICS in my GT-I9000
Thanks

It's at the level where the CM9 alpha should be - great performance (especially with glitch kernel), best battery life of the ICS roms, and the most customization.
Do yourself a favour as well, install the apex launcher - looks and performance of the stock ICS launcher, but cyanogen levels of customization.

AOKP 2.02beta with Semaphore 0.8.1 is extremelly fast, reliable, stable! highly recommend.
ive just installed daxinfinitys got to say pretty good no problems so far love all the extra tweaks you can do.
Teamhacksung is the best. In my experience, this is the most stable ICS build (currently on build 16). I have messed about with AOSP and AOSK and some of the other versions and at first they seem better but often they seem to have a fault - lockscreen freezes or problems with my external sd card and transferring large files with my laptop. I have found the semaphore kernerl (latest version) really good when setting on battery saver mode. You can also change the boot animation with ROM toolbox - good stuff there!

I am aware of badly implemented search function of xda, but still?
Best practice = read more, try self.
Pattern of phone usage will always be different.
Bro, hello there, I have 2 SGS, one is running CM9 with original kernel, and another one is with TEAMICSSGS RC4.2+Devil kernel 14.2LED, no doubt, TeamICSSGS is my choice, it is fast, reliable, and most major function are working, around 95% of the function are working perfectly, especially the camera video effect, which makes my day..Try it, trust me..=D..have a nice day
Teamhacksung will pwn all the others and still does.
All those 'wow I have a new ROM' which is totally PAWITP's with a bit of my
own (kuch % battery and don't know what other kinda stupid stuff) are so
not comparable.
They call it SLIM ICS because they deleted some apps, wow it has such a
better battery and lightningfast, yeah well every dork can do that (but
they still call it a new ROM mhowhehaha). It's all in between the ears.
Still think there a 2 main ICS ROMS:
- OneCosmic
- TeamHacksung
And TeamHacksung, here flashed on my i9000, is still the best from build #1.
Stable, stock or on Glitch, so no need to flash all the 20 other useless things.
I don't even flash my phone now every week and my phone is kinda stable,
the accu's getting used to the build and with everything on I have a good
phone.
I use AOKP and I am very satisfied.
It has only very minor bugs and is perfectly suitable for everyday use.
I haven't used Teamhacksung as I had the "hello hello" bug in CM7 which others are reporting in Teamhacksungs CM9.
Currently using Team ICSSGS 4.2 with semaphore 0.8.1. Been using this combo for almost two weeks & battery life is awesome with great performance and for what I use my phone for it is super stable, virtually lag free and with no noticeable issues.
While I do miss all the customisations of the CM Roms the "hello hello" bug is a deal breaker for me. There is apparently a solution to actually fixing the bug but this also appears to work for some people but not all. (You can download hbb2_test.zip - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4681 if you have these issues)
I agree with inozako TEAMICSSGS RC4.2+Devil kernel 14.2LED, is the best solution....try it
Testing almost all, cm9, CNA ('s), AOKP ('s), MIUIv4 and finally AOKP 2.0.2 is the best, the most stable, the easiest to customize & very good battery.
in my signature no doubt
I haven't tried Teamhacksung's since i have i9000b and it doesnt support it but i did try ICSSGS and i tell you i cant think on a better rom. You should give it a try, since its avalible for i9000, i9000b captivate and vibrant

I have not followed to update rom for my device for a half year
So I don't know what is the best rom for Optimus 2X now
I am using CM7 and I feel like I like it, I get used to it.
So that's why I am looking for only CM7 rom.
However, if you have any other rom that you think it's better. Please suggest me, and please tell me why is it better.

ps. I suffer the freeze problem sometimes. For now, I use it only for game and chat. When I play a game, I usually suffer that the game hangs, and popup "Force Close"
And sometimes phone automatically shut off.
I was bored, until I feel nothing about it...... (too often until I buy new phone to use as phone, and use 2X as a video game device)

You might also want to change your kernel. Vorkkernel is outdated, try either ETaNa Kernel or Ironkernel. You should be able to find them in the dev section.
yeah, I know that my rom and anything of that is really old because of I play lots of game and don't want anything to be erased. Also, that time the new rom update too fast. I was bored of changing rom every 3 days. So I stopped following all of these and keep using it.
And now, I think the time has come to modify everything.
Can you guys tell me the best version of everything for me to upgrade it.
e.g. Firmware (my 2x is still V10B)
Baseband
Kernel
and Rom
if you specify version for me, it would be much faster for me to find it
thank you
Allright,
Firmware: Either Android 2.3.X or 4.0 (your choice, however 4.0 is still in alpha phase, so not everything is working perfectly)
Baseband: Different for each and every phone. Do you have good signal and call quality right now? Then there is no need to change your baseband. Make sure to have a matching RIL file with your BB. Download one from the GetRIL app.
Rom: For Android 2.3.X (a.k.a Gingerbread) I would recommend temasek's latest CM7 KANG, or the latest CM7 nightlies, because they are the best and most recent. Temasek can't continue his CM7 work anymore unfortunately, but his Kangs are rock-solid. (Link in signature)
For Android 4.0 (a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich) you can choose between the latest RC'S CM9 SelfKANG (link in signature) or Owain's CM9 KANG. (dev section) They're both pretty new and are quite stable despite being in an alpha stage. However, not everything is working perfectly, but I can tell you once everything works, CM9 will be much better than CM7.
Kernel: If you use CM7, you can choose between many kernels. The best ones I would recommend are the ETaNa Kernel (link in signature) and Ironkernel. These kernels are the most recent and have the best performance. Unfortunately the dev from Ironkernel, SetIron, left XDA so you cant follow the development over here.
For CM9 there is only one custom kernel available, which is also Ironkernel from SetIron. (link in signature) Although I must say that it's not fully stable because CM9 being in an alpha stage.
Hope this helped
For me, temasek's latest CM7 KANG is the best ROM so far.
However, seeing you havent change ur ROM for the last 6 months and familiar with nightlies, I would recommend you to update to the latest CM7 nightlies.
Just as simple as that. no need to think and you will find your O2X in its best performance.
I recommend Temasek's Kang. I started using is a few weeks ago and it's the best GB rom I've used. I'd still be on it, if I hadn't tried CM9.
thank you all you guys, I will try it soon.
temasek has stopped kanging? Now what?

Go for the CM7 nightlies or for CM9.
Tonight I'm getting a new LG O2X, and I've been reading about roms and stuff. I decided to install the CM7 Kang RC1 with Etana OC kernel, but first I'd like to know if I'm going to miss features like the front camera in skype/tango, or if the app "LG Touch LED Notifications" will work, which looks very useful because of the lack of a notification led.
If that kind of features don't work, I'll probably stick to a stock based rom. Thanks in advance!
No. To have perfect combo between stock and CM7 I use Hybrid ROM.
But 1080p playback is not working for me. Anyone knows why? On stock rom (2.2.2) i worked i think.
this one?
You mean this one?
I kinda have the same question, adding something else: how's the support for the Tegra video card? If we go out of the stock rom do we lose any performance over graphics and stuff?
Unless you run a modded kernel that allows OC; there isn't much of a difference between stock and CM when it comes to performance gains (+- since stock has a lot of crap that tend to slow down the device, but can be removed of course).
Temasek's CM7.2 UNOFFICIAL Build + IronkrnL 48MB RAM hack - everything is fully functional.

I installed that rom, build 100 and everything is working perfectly I installed ETaNa kernel just because I read people recommending it but I'm still not sure about what the kernel does besides allowing overclock (which I haven't done because I haven't felt it's necessary). Any other advantages?
Just want to confirm, Temasek knows his ****! : )
I was at first rather careful with ROM's and installed CM7 stable (1 year old ROM) on my LG 2x, just to see how it will work. After few months of good use (everything working just great) I suddenly couldn't enable data & 3G networks on the device. Then battery started to show weird issues, like phone will turn on itself and show that it's charging.
10 minutes I go I gave it leap of faith and installed latest Temasek's CM7 RC2-102, MIND BLOWN. Not only it works OOB without ANY issues, fixing the battery and data problem, installation just UPDATED my current ROM to Temasek's build, which means I didn't lose any settings, apps or ANYTHING.
Just install Temasek's builds, you won't regret it.
BTW, how to donate to Temasek, I couldn't find DONATE button?
Cheers!

Thank you.
No one rom is perfect. Soon you will find something not working or something u don't like. Overall cm7 is a very good rom.
Btw I don't ask for donations so u wont see any donation link.
Thanks.
everything is fully functional on cm7 since the fm radio was fixed (and that was a LONNNNGGG time ago)
only things that can be glitchy are the completely NEW features them devs are makin up
and no you dont loose any kind of graphics performance or w.e when going to cm.
yes, front camera also works...
Well, I think video calls don't work, as that is a function of the stock telefone app, but I might be mistaken.

not only you dont lose, but you also gain... best stock rom+best stock kernel vs best cm7 rom+best cm7 kernel cm7 wins everytime by a big difference, and in graphics some cm7 combos even boost your fps's a bit
Go for Django Manouche stock rom, all works, crap LG apps gone and aroma installer, if cm temasek
