So here I am, another noob with a question
The problem is, I'm using third different ROM(used MiniCM6, Stable 2.2.1, currently FroyoBread) on my X8, and they all seem to have the same problem. For some odd reason my sound is ahead of my audio when I record a video . At first I thought it's just a problem of one ROM, but when I tried three of them, and they all got the same problem, I started wondering, maybe there's a fix for that.

That's a General Bug to all CM6(Froyo) Custom Roms
for now, there is no fix for that and we should live with it

On gingerbread roms that problem don't exist.
A/V is synced.
Also... we almost have a full 3mpx camera in GingerDX now... thanks to doixanh...
If you need both full cam and AV sync wait for v005 of Ginger DX
i'm using GingerDX 006 and the lag still exists....u_u

Hi all im having to post here because i dont have permission to post in development thread.
I have been using cm9 for few days went from build 5 to 7 yesterday and i have an issue with both builds, after a while my sound just goes i cant hear phone calls youtube videos or games sounds. As far as i know all sound has gone even woth volumes turned right up. I have searched the forums and cant find anything on this issue, anybody else have it/know how to fix it. The only way i can get sound back is rebooting. Any helo much appreciated

was it working fine on Sammy's ROM?
yes i have never had an issue until using cm9. i think the microphone stops working too. i think it maybe when i try using the spirit fm app would this make sense? im not going to try the app now and see if it happens again. i thought that app should work?

Well, i think that's not a hardware issue to be worried about & don't mess with unknown and bugged up apps .
Why not try a re-flash (wipe cache & factory reset ) of BUILD8 ? If that doesn't also solve the issue then try Odin re-flash back to 2.2/2.3 and then again CM7.1 [with a Modem flash] to CM9 ?
Ok firstly I'd like to say I just rooted my phone last week, this was my first time doing it. I decided to do it to get rid of various problems (I was led to believe rooting fixes everything). Some of them went away, some of them stayed, and new ones came up with the rooting.
I was coming a stock LG Optimus 2X P990 with Android 2.3.4 (had been updated because the phone was originally older 2.2.2 I think.. I'm not sure), and rooted to Nova HD Rom (ICS 4.0.4) using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1508492. Oh also, I'm using SPB Shell launcher.
Problem #1 : Signal interuption. This one is probably the worst problem I have. I rely on my phone a lot as I don't have a ground line I need it to catch all my calls. About 2-3times a day I'll check my phone and I'll have no network. Sometimes the signal bars are frozen, they don't flutuate as I move to different areas. Sometimes there's an X on the signal logo. Either way, where I go inside/outside.. my phone can't get network. At first I tried to activate/de-activate 2G, turning on/off airplane mode to somehow reset the damn thing, but it just won't pickup. Then I tried a reboot, after the reboot.. still stuck at no signal. Then I finnally found how to fix it.. a full power OFF, and back ON. That's right each time I peak at my phone and it seems to be doing this, I need to make a complete shut down to wake his ass off.
Problem #2 : Battery drain. Well after days of reading on the subject apparently rooting my G2X was gonna improve it's battery life. Result is : no difference. I've bought a bunch of apps to try and keep track on what's wrong (BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Pro). Just this morning I unplug my fully charged phone at 7:00:AM, and by 1PM (6hours later) it was done. There was about 1½hours of awake time, and about 50mins of screen on (perhaps half of this was using my 3G internet with various apps), no SMS or Calls. Usually if the phone is kept sleeping it can last about 24hours, do you guys think this is normal battery drain?
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? Last week I was woken up by my alarm in the morning to find out I was about 40minutes late. Only happened once so far. I checked to see if I had set my alarm incorrectly.. nope, then I saw my phone time.. It was was OFF by 40mins... WTF? I went in the options and everything was fine... "Automatic date & Time" checked. I unchecked/checked it, and it didn't fix it, I had to reboot the phone for the time to come back to normal. Now hopefully that was only a one time problem, only now I have to live with the stress every morning my phones time might be wrong and I'll be late for work.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. I use to listen a lot of FM radio before I rooted my phone , this is a feature I enjoyed. After rooting the FM radio application was gone, I said what the hell I'll just get another app from google play. NOPE, not a single FM radio app (that works). I tried a bunch of stuff, read on the forums and searched google for like 3hours and couldn't believe how much work I had put into such a simple thing.. this is so infuriating. The next day I kept looking but was never able to get anything working.. Oh and every where I look people say "lol why use FM radio when you can stream 1gazillion radio with given apps or whatnot". DAMMMMMMNN CAUSE MAYBE I DON'T HAVE INFINITE DATA PLAN? (In fact I have only 500megs/month). Seriously I'm so mad about this.
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! . I swear to got now that I rooted my phone each time I try to do something, something ****S UP. I just wanted to plug in my phone and copy some episodes of a serie I watch. Each time I tried copying the files : BAM "Windows Explorer has stopped working". So after another 2hours or so of trials and errors I figured the damn thing out . If I try to copy anything, it works. If I try to copy a *.MKV file, explorer crash. A solution I found is renaming my files to *.****YOU and then copy it and rename it back to MKV after it's done copying. Then I wondered, what if I rename a txt file to mkv, will it crash when being copied? Nope won't crash. So it's not just the extension? But why does it work if I remove the mkv extension.. oh good god how the hell am I supposed to understand anything.
Problem #6 : Can't play that MKV file?. Hey I finnally copied my file, the next day at work during my break I open my phone to watch it and.... well I realised there wasn't any video player included in my ROM, so luckly this time I found apps on the market that could play it. I used MX Player. Oh alright time to watch it? NOPE The video is all laggy and skipping frames like hell. Also audio is off and about each 10sec it mutes as if it was re-syncing the sound. Later the next evening I wasted another couple hours figuring this one out. What comes out often : they say use Dice Player instend! LOL Funny! The damn app won't even open my file!.
Playing with my phone I opened an APP I've pushased : System tuner pro. Looking at the CPU stats I noticed the first CPU was at 1.01Ghz, and the second one was at 216mhz? What the hell? I thought isn't that suposed to be 2x1ghz dual core?. So I cranked up the thing up to 1.01Ghz just like the other CPU, opened MX Player and already my video was almost watchable (a definitive improvement). I went back in System tuner pro, and overclocked the damn thing (even tough I had no idea if it was safe to do so) to 1.4ghz on both cores. Another significant improvement, this time when set this way I could watch my video! And the app onlyl reports a 5Celcius increase so I guess it's fine.
My only problem/question about that is why does each time I reboot my phone does the damn thing turns back to 216mhz? In fact why was it set to 216mhz in the first place? Considering all the problems I have and that I reboot my phone about 10times a day, I can't just go in system tuner the re-set my CPU settings each time?
Hopefully you guys can help me.. I'm exhausted I''ve been searching this forum and the web for the last couple days, I have like 1000tabs open in chrome. Btw this forum is a goldmine for information but damn it's a lot of reading.
Thanks in advance for your help
First, I'd like to say that I admire your keenness to detail in writing all of your issues down. Thing is, most of the problems you have are mainly because you flashed a modified ICS ROM. ICS roms by themselves are in beta stage, meaning there are some things that people compromise in flashing them (such as the missing FM radio), and you flashed a modified one, which might be the reason for certain power saving features such as your 2nd core down stepping to 216MHz.
Thing is, most of those were discussed in the NOVA ICS thread.
I would recommend flashing the more stable ROMs. Temasek's CM7, DjangoManouche by Carburano, Nostalgia by Topogigi (Froyo ROM) are the ones that pop-up in mind.
For a panic button, you can do a smartflash and it will restore all partitions to stock LG (wiping all user data of course).
Anyway, read the threads carefully. The opening posts and the last 5 pages at least. In order to get a feel of user experiences with the ROM.
Goodluck and happy flashing!

I also noticed that you mentioned you have a G2X? But you also mention having a P990. If you're on a G2X, you have a different forum section my friend. This forum section is specifically for the O2X.
Flashing an O2X ROM on a G2X may result in softbricks.
(Please disregard my advise about ROM choices if you're have an LG P999 G2X, those are all intended for the LG P990 O2X.)
yea my mistake when I typed G2x.. I meant O2X.
Thanks for the advice.
If I change my ROM will it wype all my user data again? (sorry im a newb at this)
The ROM itself might not. But I highly recommend you wipe your device since you're moving from 1 version of android (ICS) to another (Froyo or GB).
I'd recommend you CM7 (not CM9) based ROMs but since you need the FM radio, they have none AFAIK.. but you can try stock based ROMs that are still in active developments by the dev. Usually they worked just fine and will fix most of your problems.. again, don't use CM9 based..
Now for the network that is constantly disconnecting in background, this bug is actually introduced (at least for me) after the GB update (i assumed because of the changes LG has made to the baseband). There's no surefire fix for this problem.. try different combinations of basebands and RILs.. stick to whatever works for you
For battery, if you're in constant mobile network, 24 hours standby time is incredible IMO.. our battery is just too low in capacity to make it last any longer than that.. my only advice is minimize the number of apps in your device, because some of them always stay in RAM doing god knows what..
Good luck

Yes it will wipe them.. for baseband changes too.. so if you have apps that you'd like to preserve, back them up before flashing anything.. Titanium backup will do the trick, but some instability issues might appear if you choose to just backup and then restore everything up.. so choose all your important apps and leave the rest.. this way if something is wrong with the rom after restore, you can at least pinpoint which app is causing it

Oh great.. that means you wouldn't mind using CM7.. i just don't bother checking for working FM radio app since long ago
why not try Temasek's kang build? I believe it is still the best stability wise..

CM 7 is a fantastic phone, but it has 2 big problems:
-huge battery drain, specially when you enable Wifi!
-sporadic BSODs...specially when the phone is on charging...
Sadly i had to remove CM7 because i use a lot Wifi...i flashed Topogigi's nostalgia now..good rom

Which both are solved to about 95% by using etana kernel.
In short CM7 is the most feature complete ROM without sacrificing performance on our phones.

Just to give an update I have changed my ROM to a CM7 based rom like u guys said. Temasek's kang build
Problem 1. Signal interuption : problem is definitly solved.
Problem 2. Battery drain : definite improvement, battery now last at least twice longer
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? : Didn't get the problem again, so solved.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. : Well I got an FM radio app, but I can't make it work. It doesn't pick up the stations..
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! : Well this is solved yes and no. If I manage to make my computer detect the damn phone, I can copy whatever I want to. Thing is for some reason I can't seem to be able to plug my phone into Mass Storage mode anymore. It worked a couple of times and all of sudden even tough I didn't change any drivers, my computer just doesn't see the phone anymore. I get a "USB Composite Device" with a yellow "!" mark in my device manager.
I tried a bunch of stuff in the options, rebooting the phone and/or computer, nothing worked. I decided to try reinstalling the rom, and boom right after I pluged it in, the USB Mass storage mode worked. Once again after a couple of times it started doing the same thing (yellow "!" mark in my device manager), and no new drive being detected. This time I'm completly clueless on what's going on, and I have no idea what I can do about it.
I'm currently copying files using Samba Filesharing over Wi-Fi, but sometimes I'd prefer using my USB cable, and I just can't...
New problem!!! : I had my phone at work yesterday and pluged in my headphones to listen to music, start my music and the sound was playing in both my heatphone and phone speakers. I tried unplugging/replugging the headphone, now the sound only worked on the phone speaker. Looked up every phone option possible regarding sound or headphones.. couldn't find nothing. I did a reboot on the device, and bam fixed everything. Couple hours later I re-open my phone for music, same problem occured. Had to reboot the device for the sound to be back in the headphones.
Most problems are fixed, I Guess I'm satisfied, but damn can't everything just work...
JuiceDefender Premium will make it that your device loses 1% every 10 hours if screen is off.
Stock 20Q from LG is free of bugs and full of functions.
Might be a stupid advice,
but you do know that you need your headphones plugged in for FM radio? (they are the actual antenna)
In the settings you can also set your region (e.g. North America or Europe), since the frequencies differ a bit (e.g. Europe uses 0.1MHz 'jumps' and some regions 0.2MHz).

yea I know all of that don't worry.
The FM radio app is pretty buggy, today I made it worked. Once the app was started with the station selected, I hit the home button then I pulled down the tray and click on the FM app from there. All of sudden I started hearing sound.. it had worked.
Turns out the app is also the source of what is messing my headphones up. When I close and re-open the app, the sound will come out from the phone speaker, and that messes up every sound from the phone then on.

That FM radio thing is a bug that I haven't heard of actually. When you have the opportunity (or maybe on the next build #94, I'd suggest a full wipe then reflash).
Hi, I have a problem with my O2x. Every night when my phone is charging, it freeze and the alarm don't work.. And every day I late at high school. Last night my phone was fully charged so I don't need to charge it, but yet my phone freeze and the alarm don't work again..
Why this happen?
My rom is Wiui 2.1.0.7 and i use the symbi0sis kernel. It is happen because I use the ramhack?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.
I have the same problem too, i think it is a bug in the kernel. I have guestes2x 3.8 on my phone with the same kernel.

You can try to set the phone to "Always active while charging" (not sure how the exact English translation is as I am using a German menu). You can find it in "Development options" in settings. I read in some other thread that this should help. Let me know if it works
I tried this but did not work.. now the only solution is to change the kernel.

You could also try setting the screen-off frequency a bit higher. I've heard that some phones have problems with the 216mhz frequency (if that's what you're using)
Or it's due to the ROM. I had issues with WIUI too, been on Temasek's CM7 build for ages now and haven't had a problem since then.
If you shut down your wifi, the problem is solved.
What i do is :
Add a alarm on 11 pm with a profile included.
In the profile you should set wifi off.
So your wifi is automatic shut down.
And by the alarm you must include a profile with wifi on, so you can get your mail etc.
It is very simple
