I recently flashed my O2X and started to use CyanogenMod 7.1.0, but now since Ricardo Cerqueira have released a CM9 ROM with ICS I want to try it out.
I have ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery installed, and cm9 + gapps ics is placed in the root of my SD.
Whats the best or easiest way to do an upgrade?

Make a full backup of your apps with titanium backup. After that go to clockworkmod and do a full nandroid backup. The apps with titanium you can recover after you install your new rom, and the nandroid backup from clockworkmod you can use to restore the full install you currently have. After backup is done, wipe all, and install the cm9 rom and directly after install the latest gapps. Reboot and enjoy ics. Use the market to download titanium and restore your apps. Be sure to buy titanium because recovering with the free version is a pain in the ass
Goodluck!
That was fast, thank you very much - I'll give it a try
Upgrade went smooth and it seems to run fine, but how do I add widgets to the home screen?

Just out of interest are any of the active members of this forum considering creating a custom rom for the 2X?
Hopefully, because this is a crappy system you get out of the box. To many running apps that takes to much ram and slows down the system. To many pre-installed apps. So i'm really looking forward to a custom ROM. Does any one know how custom ROMS are made?
Well i hope lots of Devs get this phone as it is quite the powerhouse! Man i wish i knew how to make custom ROMs! there should be a dummys guide!! haha but yeah ive heard Paul O'Brien at Modoco is thinking of getting one.... now thats what you call support

SuperOneClick v1.7 worked fine, so my phone is now rooted
U can delete the apps. (Backups)
Or just rename them change ****.apk to ****.bak for example. Dont know if this will restore on reboot.
Maybe someone else can answer to this. Perm or temproot?

You can use rootexplorer to remove or move apk from /system/app. Preloaded fsecure is slowing down the phone, just delete it.
To make custom rom we need clockwork mod recovery on 2X

No, you can disable lg home launcher from “home selector“ in the main menu. i have ADWlauncher instead of lg launcher and i don't see lg launcher anymore in system processes

What do you mean by "home selector" in the main menu? I don't have my x2 yet, so I suppose it's something special by LG? I don't know this setting from my HTC.
I'm a noob to flashing and roms, but i am rooted and running the evil fascination rom. first theme i put on was nitro's honeycomb. i have flashed probably 8 or themes since then, and i always wipe cache and delvik before each one. My issue is the past 3 themes i have flashed on there, some of the icons are no longer changing, such as youtube, camera, and gallery for some. they are stuck as icons from cyanbread. how can i get this fixed? And also since the first honeycomb theme, my power off screen shows current theme animation, then shows the honeycomb animation. how can i get the honeycomb screen off? Thanks for your help and advice.
Sometimes when flashing themes over other themes some of the old theme stays so the best to do is when flashing a new theme I found is best to reflash the rom then the new theme. This will make sure the old theme is no longer there.

No you shouldnt have to since you are not doing a data wipe.
Do you backup your apps with TB anyhow?

You should make a nandroid backup... just in case. That way if you ever mess up or something goes wrong, you can always go back to a good setup you had before.
got it done. Thanks guys, it helped a ton.
Actually, just tried rebooting. my icons are fixed but my shut down screen now goes from my themes, to the evil fascinations lol. so i still have 2 boot downs

To learn the differences just read the two threads....The Comm ROM is for me a better performing ROM with more options as he said and a full Gingerbread theme built in....no need to flash an external theme unless you want a completely different look...
Speed and battery are similar depending on your usage etc....its more subjective as far as that goes because every user experiences differences in performance...
To change Roms you can simply flash in recovery after making a backup, wiping is optional but you may experience issues if you do not do a full wipe...at the least you want to wipe cache and dalvik cache in advanced option per CWMR and you can use Titanium Backup to backup your apps/data prior to wiping

well it has nothing to do with the theme and LPro is def a good launcher to run....in COMM ROM there are setting in TSM settings that allow you to turn off auto rotate for the Launcher2 thats included as well as in settings/display on the phone itself....
Kendall you might be new but you will learn fast and you are getting answers from 2 very smart people nitsuj & tapout. You will just have to flash different Roms to see which you like better. Both Comrom and EF are great Roms but basically to each their own and also you might find your battery is better with one or the other. Just keep asking questions and you will before you know it have a better handle on all this. I read these pages everyday and i ask questions. Now i want to learn to theme, even just to make my phone the way i want. Have fun and be glad you are getting answers from these amazing people.
I don't have a Galaxy Note myself so I can't try myself....
On the official Gingerbread ROM Samsung has messed up something so it was not possible to restore apps when you freeze them with App Quarantine, Titanium Backup Pro, and such....
There's a solution that managed to restore the app, but needs a reboot in order to work.
Now my question: is this fixed in the new ICS ROM or does the problem still persist?
firstly look where you write "android development"
secondly everything is working how it should be

Yes, I had build something similar in AQ. If a freeze/defrost does not succeed then it will patch the package configuration itself, which involves a reboot. I guess it's the same method like TB uses as "Power defrost".

Hi guys!
I installed in first CM9 build of 17/05/2012 and every thing was good. But GooManager ask me to make an upgrade to the 23/05/2012 build and i do it.
After the flash i installed the Semaphore kernel 1.2.0, a datafix to avoid the storage message and finally i install the Gapps.
I reboot my device, open titanium backup and restore my apps. But when i open most of my apps it's make me a force close. Slightly angry i reflash the JVU 2.3.6 rom and restore again my apps, and the same problem appear.
Consequent 2/3 of my apps are unusable.
Please help me !!!
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S I9000
actually kernel: Semaphore 1.2.0
actually Rom: CM9 build 26/05/2012 (IMM76I)

There has been an issue with a recent version of tb, I experienced it too. I think latest version resolved it. Restoring app only will work.

what was your previous rom? this happened to me after restoring Titanium backups.. May be because of the data fixer, i don't know...
Thanks a lot men i resolved the problem. It was the apps data who causes conflicts .
happy to hear that congratulations
This doesn't seem like a great solution. Most of the time the point of an app restore from TB is to get the app data. I have this problem anytime I upgrade a rom or switch to a new one. This never used to happen pre ICS at all, but even then early on in teamhacksung roms it worked fine. On AOKP/CM9 it doesn't.
How can I restore apps+data after a factory reset/rom upgrade/switch and not have 2/3 of my apps crash?

Actually I am facing the same problem as well...
Did a backup of "everything" and wiped and installed another build von CM9 - almost all apps I tried to restore WITH data are crashing, which is quite annoying, because I loose all my accounts / savegames / etc.
Before switching to CM9 this restore was never a problem...
Maybe your option with the symbolic links will work - hopefully... stay tuned...
update: does not work - even after enabling this setting, app restore works, but apps+data still leads to a crash
Make sure you use the latest version of tb. There was a version which created a lot of these problems a while ago.
But in a few cases, I don't know any other solutions than restoring app only. Then try your most important app data backups one at the time. It's most likely that your backups became corrupted, that's also a good reason to keep a backup history of more than one.

that's all you can do now I think, one at a time and find which ones work, tedious but that's the way it goes when you flash a lot, I just don't value too much data I in my apps, and let's face it....game data really isn't that important

All the settings - but ok, it is definitely not the end of the world - on the other hand, just backing apps without data? From my point of view, data should be restorable as well...
Why are some apps not compatible with MiniCM9 although they are perfectly compatible with other ICS roms such as IScreamDX? By incompatible I mean that playstore says its not compatible with my E15i when I'm using MiniCM9 rom.
Also, some things that you should know:
>>I did not change my LCD Density
>>I check the build.prop and its almost identical with IScreamDX particularly the lines which states the product brand, name, model etc.
>>The problem might not be with the build.prop because I tried installing it through TB but it says that the cannot be installed But I'm no developer so I can't really be sure.
Is there something I can edit in order to make these apps compatible?
Thanks!

maybe you forget to factory reset?
SO
for example :
your position is on IScreamDX backup your data first!
then
copy paste your ROM on sdcard
Flash the latest ICS kernel with flashtool!
Backup!
factory reset, wipe data, etc
Flash the ICS ROM 3.0.3
DOne!
and after you successful the installation or get your phone on minicm9 ,
restore your data
cwm - backup & restore - advance
and all your apps would be upgrading by it self!

I do full wipe before I install any rom. I think the problem is with MiniCM9. Although its not a major problem because it only happens to a few apps. (or in my case, just one app) Its just annoying that I can't use it with MiniCM9. I also tried backing up and restoring my data thru CWM but it also did not work.

MMDA app. It's an app which gives traffic updates here in the Philippines. I don't think devs would bother fixing such a small bug.
