Hi everyone!
I successfully updated my P925g to GB v20c, rooted and got rid of all rogers crap.
I installed PimpMyCPU app to throttle CPU down when phone is not used.
Now I'm ready for next challenge - install custom ROM.
I read that CM-nighties are the same for P920 and P925. So what about other ROMs?
I used to have Optimus 2x (European) and played with lots of ROMs and basebands because I couldn't get 3G data in rural Ontario. At the end I found the problem - European model doesn't have WCDMA850 capabilities. So I had to get rid of the phone.
I would just dive and start playing around. But I read some guys were softbriking their phones
From Optimus 2x I know there are different RILs for different parts of the world. What about Thrill (aka 925g)? Should I worry about it?
And what about baseband? Does it come separately from ROM (like in o2x) or it will be reflashed with every ROM?
Thanks in advance!
The CM7 rom's are different for the p920 and p925. More on that on a sec.
AFAIK there is no way to flash baseband separate from rom.
Of note: the p925 and p920 use identical hardware so the key difference is in radio and partitions. Ergo if you'd flashed v21a (which is for the p920) on your thrill, you'd use the p920 CM7 rom, but since you flashed the v20c thrill one you'll need the p925 CM7.

Hi, can someone explain to me about baseband and RIL, I already have some idea but I need confirmations on some.
I updated my asian phone with LGP990AT-00-V20c-EUR-XX-AUG-02-2011+0_CP.fls as per instruction of this custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254359. The name itself suggest european, does europe and asia share the same exact bands for their phones?
Can this mess with my reception? Is there an asian v20c .fls and matching RIL out there that I should have flashed instead?
Unrelated questions: I went with this ROM(lg o2x gb stock mod by topogigi) because it's based on the leak LG GB roms and has minimal bugs and from my understanding is that CM7 based ROMs are very buggy? Like the radio and a2dp doesn't work and when I look at the CM7 bugs thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173229) I keep wondering why CM7 is so much more popular. Can someone give me an insight?
My LG 2x has about 100mb usable memory on fresh reboots, is this normal or is it limited to that ROM(lg o2x gb stock mod by topogigi)?
Thanks for any info. smile.gif
CM7 is popular because it's built from the ground up and contains many extra features. A2DP works fine FYI, but FM radio is currently a no-go.

What about reading the different threads in dev section? There is one about rooting.
Hi, i am also new to the LG-P990, i got 2.3.4 out the box and my LGE Version is V20d. Is that the latest? Used the LGMobile tool and that says something about Mobile phone not being supported??
If you want to check the newest version for your phone, use this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOUR_IMEI_HERE
But replace YOUR_IMEI_HERE with (funnily enough) your phone's IMEI.

I started to learn how to root and flash new room with reading some guides around , you can find some in The developments section , the first think to know is how to root, how to install clockwork recovery and use it and finally how to flash new room ,personally i choose the cyanogenmod7 for the battery and the stability of this rom.
GPS troubles with Optimus 2x MIUI ROM
Newbie here and I feel like I am the only one that is having GPS problems here. I rooted my phone due to Wind mobile being extra slow with the updates for my phone and I cannot seem to get the GPS to work. Please help as it does not lock on. I checked the GPS config and see that it is set up for T-Mobile but I don't know which one I should use for my provider as the original Froyo did not have this option.
I also have troubles trying other ROMS as MIUI have seemed to lock me into theirs. Error when I try to load another ROM several times.
I'm also a newbie to the O2x,
I rooted and flashed cm7 then "[ROM] Rebuild of Leaked V20o Gingerbread Update" really easy!
come on guys read the threads in android development!
I am also newbie on O2X and quite new on mods and stuff.. my previous phone and my entry to the smartphones was a samsung galaxy mini..
I have Flash CM7.0.1 stable (following some guides here) but the phone is not so stable... many times i check on it and i realize that it has closed..and cause i did flashed it on the second day of the purchase i cant figure out if its software problem or hardware... ill try some other roms soon..

Yeah, CM7.0.1 is pretty old now, and I think you should try a CM 7.2 KANG. Those are very stable too. If you wish you can always add some custom kernels too to increase the performance.

There are so many 2.3.4 official LG 2x rom on the internet, all start with "V20..".
Generally speaking, the letter at the end means the location.
v20d is one of Asian LG official 2.3.4 rom distribute in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I only know that the latest version now in Hong Kong is v20e.
I am sure you will google a list of LG 2x official rom if you want to.

Yeah. I agree with you. However, only one problem I have found that is photo taken by CM rom is not as good as official LG.
That's why I am now still using official "modified" v20e (Hong Kong) rom with the latest Hourse Power Kernel.
Just bought o2x.
I got home i root install miui.
Im a lg user thats why its so easy. Hehehe
Read the roll up sticky thread at dev sections. Its so easy.

If you haven't traded it in yet, I would try out Cyanogenmod on the Thrill. See my post a few days ago to set it up:

I want to use CM but I for one use my 3D so I am waiting for that
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
I imagine the Cyanogenmod team will be updating their distribution/ROM to include 3D since it was a prominent selling feature. Just check the nightly log:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p925
I know it says this for Cyanogenmod
If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on Cyanogenmod then you must make a factory reset/format data in Clockworkmod after installing the latest nightly or else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.
I thought I read somewhere cant find it now but I need GB bootloaders?Im running doomed right now so I can just flash this like any other rom and Ill be cool?Thanks
You don't. Cm7 is modified on the thrill to run on the froyo baseband. Flash it, wipe, works well.
I think that 3d is unlikely in cm7 as it relies heavily on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google's clean source code. For some odd reason, it works in the camera, but nowhere else.

Thanks for the response Im not worried about the 3d it makes me dizzy lol Ive only hardbricked one phone out of 5 just didnt want to on this one.Hows the battery life I have noticed on doom its alot better than stock much much better?
Heres what I meant
If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;
Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.
What is the latest baseband?
Well now using captvate glide

Ended up flashing Cm7 nightly late last night so far pretty sweet
Can O3D roms built for the O3D be directly flashed to the thrill (like normal thrill roms) without the need of doing anything different or changing anything to the phone? If not, what must be done to use their roms if possible?
Would appreciate an answer, thank you
Yes,they can be flashed directly.
but the O3D roms does not support 4G,but some users say they get 4g speed on O3D roms..
Okay really nooby questions here but what the hey lol;
What are the advantages of CM7.1 over 2.3.4 and are there any areas that do not work in CM7.1 properly (read a few posts about things not working and heard the cam is poop on CM7.1?)?
I have never used CM before and always stuck with stock but seeing as i'm stuck on 2.2.2 at the moment as LG update tool will not install on my pc at the mo i'm looking into alternatives.
Also in case i end up needing to return to stock, can someone please point me in the direction of where i can find the latest stock roms for the optimus 2x p990?
Cm only misses the gesture thing of LG rom, rest all is present in CM along with many ultimate features too...
If you wish to downgrade, you can find necessary files in development section

I heard that CM7.1 does not have tv output? Also i cannot get the stock rom from here as all the file share sites are down which the stock roms are listed on.
