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).
I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.
That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it
with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....
Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.
could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?
I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first
Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

no i havent but it was working just before i flashed icd.
also i have 2 more phones with the same problem. So it is not my phone malfunctioning.
In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean

i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.
I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.
Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.
This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?
same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?
Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?
I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps
never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean
Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung galaxy s last week from an eBay auction. The phone was described as touch screen lag. I was thinking that flashing a new firmware will solve the problem. I got really cheap though
The touch screen stops suddenly in every 5/6 minutes and I have to lock the screen using power key and unlock again to make it working.
when I got the phone:
Non Samsung battery and chargers were used, I changed and using original ones.
Stock XXJVS firmware in it.
First I flashed stock 2.2.1 froyo and test the screen using *#0*# code. it got pass. But when I start using it, the problem was still there.
Then I flashed stock GB, same story, now slim ics, same thing.
Please someone help me, there is nothing I can do with it now.
I search few threads related to screen problem but couldn't find one with similar problem. So asking here.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me..but it's really hard to say if it is. But it would definitely seem like it since it isn't ROM related. Maybe a water damage or faulty digitizer?

This happens to me sometimes very rarely though, it will be weird and hard to touch but speaking to someone with the same phone they said they had this problem to all I do to resolve the problem is lock and unlock the screen, I thought this was normal?

It shouldn't be normal. I am using another galaxy s for almost two years. But never had this problem in such extent, little bit lag on touchscreen when on froyo. But never after. Now with slim ics Temple run is more smooth then iphone 4.

Thanks for reply. When I got it first time, it was really annoying, the problem was so frequent that it was almost unusable. Now in new rom, after unlocking the screen it works little longer then before. Works like a charm when it works. So not sure this is hardware problem.

I don't think this is a hardware or problem either, I broke the screen and replaced it and I still have the same thing when though it is very rare, so if it was the screen it should of gone after I installed the new one, btw I installed a whole new pre built front so the bevil and LCD, and my phone has never hib water damaged? Maybe its something to do with the bootloader? As that doesn't change through ROM flashes

Guys its really annoying now. Its behaving strangely. I played with it few hours and found out that the screen near the home button freezes first. I cant press the dock but still pull the notification bar? then stops working whole screen. I checked the show touches in developers options setting. Sometimes it works randomly actually without touching it , I just place my finger near the screen but didn't touch and on few occasion it works opposite direction, like I scrolled down but it gone up:crying:
Is this the sensor issue? Is there any way to fix? Any idea please?

I tried all of those apps, nothing wrong. I think I should change the screen and digitizer, I might need to go to the repair center because my hands shake (my usual problem) and hard to fix tiny things. I want to do few experiments before taking it to repair. I already put it in the freezer for two hours it was acting like crazy after.

Me too!
and i thought i'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem. it is exactly what i'm having on my sgs. seems to be temporarily fixed by turning the screen off and then on again, but after a while, the screen doesn't respond on the same spot as you're having.
i've managed a low level debug on screen touch response using adb logcat, and my touch doesn't really register any on adb logcat console.
they might be correct on the hardware problem, but when i'm on any gingerbread rom (2.3.6), the problem is gone.
guys, any idea what kind of drivers they're using on gingerbread for our touchscreen?
I have this too on ics, left half of screen stops responding, lock on/off sorts it....until the next time! Bugs the hell out of me!
Me too! on ICS
btw, i'm already on ics team nyx
change
flash CF KERNEL and put ICS CM9
middle screen not responding
- when in stock gb firmware (official from samsung), the touchscreen problem is gone.
- but i want the features of an ics rom, so i flashed one (first was slim ics); the problem appeared first; first guess was the custom rom was still in its early stages.
- flashed back to gb, no touchscreen problem.
- flashed new ics rom from cm9 (nightlies), problem appears again (ugh!).
- flashed backed to updated slim ics since this was the fastest and easiest to install, touchscreen problem still persist.
- found a temporary fix by turning the screen off then on again.
did a adb logcat full trace log of touchscreen input: what i noticed was the whole vertical middle part of the screen is not responding to touch; dragging touch from one side to middle is working just fine, but not starting from the mid vertical part.
the problem may sometimes go away after a while, and sometimes persist even after the temp fix. it's very intermittent indeed.
help please.

So your sgs touchscreen working fine on stock gb rom! It might not be a hardware problem then. We have similar problem, only difference is I have problem on GB too. I've even tried stock froyo, same story
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
same problem here, left part of the screen would be unresponsive at times
can fix by locking the phone through power button and unlocking it, thats why i think its a software problem.
I dont remember having this problem in GB also.
maybe something is messed up during flash?
I have the same problem with ics and jb roms from the onecosmic ics times and i had a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648287
I have written here but no one seems to now what it is, i have been using ics from onecosmics first release and had the problem from that moment on, different kernels, roms etc it is still here i have flashed gb again and problem is gone, flash again with ics the middle part still acts sometimes. ?...
We should request from kernel developers and rom developers to look into it. I have tried almost everything no luck so far
Hello,
recently my phone P880 ceases to function correctly. For example the problem with the gsm signal and 3G, someone still say me that I am inaccessible and he can not call me. When I try to call someone, the phone say SIM card disconnect, the signal is out and then after seconds again say reading sim card and then everything looks normal (this happen mostly when data are enabled, but sometimes also on wifi). Then in 70% calls (does not depend if incoming or outcoming) the mic does not work at all. I can hear anyone on the other side but he cannot hear me. When I hang up and call back everything works fine. And the last but not least the phone is really slow, sometimes I have to kill all apps if I want do something (write message, read email) or wait until the phone unfreeze (very annoying when I want to recieve call and I have to wait aprox 10-15 sec till the screen light up). In the phone there is almost nothing installed (just few apps which I really use), but still the RAM is always full at >80%.
I am curently running on stock 4.1.2 and decide to try something more lightweight to save battery and ram, but I have absolutely no idea which ROM is currently stable and working, so if you can recommend me some (I would prefer something on 4.4.x but it does not matter).
Thanks to everyone for response
Hello,
First Question: Which Baseband-Version is installed?
I can say that 4.4 is not as good as Stock.
Root, install CWM (Dont know if you had to open bootloader when only installing kernel and script?), install Titanium Backup or similar and remove the Bloatware! Then Install Iodak v9.5 and maybe Tegra4Binary and Phone is quick.

I am back on 4.1 stock just to test some things and after 10 hours on it i cant wait to get back to 4.4.x roms...I cant see any advantages of stock rom except visual ones (lg gui).U should write why is for you stock better i am curious.

Thank you for reply,
For the radio I include screenshot. The bootloader is unlocked, I did it about a 3/4 year ago but since this time I did not make any SW changes so now I am totally lost in the number of roms which are avable nowadays (last I was to change the system there was only bugged and not stable version).
E: For the GUI, it is not bad but when the homescreen (launcher) have to reboot everytime when I close (jump out) some apps there is something wrong.
E2: And also sometimes the light sensor does not work (I can move with the brigthness slider but nothing happen,I have to uncheck the automatic setting then I can change the brightness)
Did you try fleahing stock again via lg flesh tool ? Or.restoring backup if u have it ?

Because of the high battery drainage on use at CM. Stock has about 6 hours screen on.
There are quiet nice functions, like Quickmemo that i dont want to miss. (And better App compatibility sometimes... see "Whatsapp SIM")
The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too.
+ FM-Radio
I know that a phone with the newest security updates is nice, but when i flash CM i flash back in the next 1-3 days ...
But you can think otherwise over this!

If u manage to get 6 hours on screen time then u have 7000 mAh battery or you have some other phone since no one managed to get more then 4+ hours on this phone especialy on stock so this thing that you said is completly nonsence.There are apps that can replace quickmemo app on custom roms,iodak kernel is NOT working properly on stock rom (that is know fact evey iodak sayed it himself u can read it on iodak kernel thread) and for the last option u can use Spirit FM which is working great on CM-Liquid -Slim and all others custom roms.
P.S.Show us some proof for that 6 hours on screen time or your coment will be probably deleted by moderators since it is as i sad completly nonsence.
Will add Screenshot ASAP.
PS: Having no issues with Iodak 9.5 ... but 8 should work for everyone.
And here we go again. I want to call, signal lost, dial has been suspended, than I've got black screen with message "Reorganization of internal processes. Try it later". There is probably some problem with the firmware or something like that, I don't think it is HW problem. I will try some alternate ROM then I will write result.
EDIT: I try to find if someone have same problem and I found it on LG Optimus 3D:
Problems on Rogers Canada too. Both Rogers and LG deny any knoledge of the exsistance of this issue. I updated my phone in the middle of February, seemed ok for a week or so, then ghost calls and missed texts started happening. I have restored it and even reinstalled the firmware fresh a few times and the problem just keeps getting worse, in addition, I now have random loss of data connection, "reorganizing internal process" for 2-3 minutes wen I try to make an outgoing call and occasionaly my phone will ring and ring indeffenately when I miss a call even though I have voice mail, and I must restart my phone to stop the ringing. Thank you for running this story as I want everyone on earth to know I will never buy any LG product again due to there "deny the problem" approch to customer support, and I hope no one else does either. BTW, anyone want to buy a used LG Phone, TV, DVD Player, Sterio or Washer and Dryer? Next time I buy a different brand period.

I am on the same carrier as CaptianJack, same exact issues. Called "Carlos" at LG Support, said ICS 4 was due in 2nd or 3rd quarter. He then said possibly July.
My issues on 2.3.5
- Occasional missed text messages
- occasional missed calls
- long "reorganizing internal process" delays, can't make calls until it finishes.
- having to restart phone when phone when in 2G, loses signal then fails to regain 4G in known good area unless reboot
- longer camera loading times than previous 2.2
- choppy 3D video recordings

Stock kernel is good at keeping the phone cool, actually that's the only thing it is good at.Stock ROM + iodak kernel burns your phone, for real.Try it on CM11 and stock ROM, stock ROM heats it up a lot more.
Stock ROM is only good if you don't know how to customize a ROM properly.CM11 gives you the ability to have the control over your phone.In stock you can just change kernel, remove a few apps and just keep going on.
If you think 4.4 is worse, it's only cause you have no idea how to customize a ROM.
"The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too."
That's totally a lie.CM11 has less system requirements afterall.And LG is famous for making crap ROMs.For how many minutes have you used CM11? 1 or 2?

Remove bloatwares, services, whatever you want but stock ROM is full of bugs that you can face even from the first day.
If you want a phone with less bugs, install CM11.You don't expect us to fix an old ROM which is full of bugs, minor or major.
What? CM11 was daily driver in official and inofficial builds...
But i know, the most are in love with Cyanogen, what do you mean with customize?

Very good ROM
Only 1 issue - couldn't turn off NFC, neither in notification bar, nor in settings. It would just pop right back on. Had to disable it in app settings. In battery info it's showing NFC to take up 40% of the power.
If someone is uncertain - this is IMHO good for daily use, no crashes so far.
One thing, when screen is off Battery Monitor Widget shows +875mA current on 2A charger. But when I'm using the phone (mail, web browsing) it shows that battery is discharging "-100mA", even though it's connected to charger. Is that software related, or I need to replace the USB socket/charging circuit in my 4xHD? I have it since yesterday and I instantly flashed CM :/
NFC: Read and you'll find it out. Otherwise trying the most trivial idea regarding any software would work as well.
Charging: No problem there, the system lowers charging current when the device gets hot, i.e. when you use it.

Are you sure about that? That's the first phone that did this to me. LG GT540, and LG G2 were charging pretty fast, even when under 'heavy' usage (playing games, etc), and 4xHD have dissapointed me utterly, when it has screen on and I'm just using dictionary/whatever (Wi-Fi and mobile data off) it's slowly discharging.
Man, I think I'll cry after G2's battery life and features in a while.

Problem with Wireless
Hi,
I have a problem with my wireless. Especially with the wireless network eduroam which is used by several universitys. It uses 802.1x EAP with PEAP and MSCHAPV2. It seems when I'm changing my location the wireless crashes. I'm not able to turn it off and the whole configuration and mobile internet crashes too. After crashing there is a information that the configuration was terminated. I'm using the version 11-20140916-SNAPSGIT-M10-p880 but I also tried the newest nightly. Sometimes the wirless crashes in my home Wifi. Is this bug already commited and what I'm supposed to do?
Thx.
I have no problems with eduroam, just used it for around half an hour without issues.
I'm using Official CyanogenMod 11 M10, and the phone is pretty much rock stable. The only things I would like changed are:
1) Boot time to be shorter
2) Battery consumption to be more efficient
Can we expect these problems to be solved on the next Stable/Snapshot build?

Thats kernel issue i"ll have a look
1. That ain't a problem
2. I think that here can't be done much anymore, battery is OK. It's hardware issue. I get max out of battery when i charge over night. If i eject charger right after charging reach 100% battery last much less..
With charging over night i get about 15-20 h on and about 2h screen on time

I cant recieve calls?
Hi there, I would appreciate any help whatsoever. The first custom rom I flashed was paranoid android but it was buggy so I thought I'd give cyanogenmod a shot. I flashed a stable 10.1.3 only to find a problem which I guess only I have. I cant recieve calls and when I go into settings>about phone, my IMEI is there but phone number says unknown. Why have a phone if you cant recieve calls? Whatsapp doesn't work either by the way. I like this ROM and I don't want to go back to stock. I'm new to flashing so please make replies detailed Also, does anyone know how to disable the button lights?

Flash CM11, I'm on 20141018 nightly and it's pretty much usable as a "daily" ROM. Just get recovery (AFAIR you need at least 6.0.4.4 to flash KitKat ROM), flash it, copy ROM and google apps to your SD card, wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik (I don't even know if all of this is necessary) and you should be good to go. In recovery thread there will be tutorial on how to flash it, and as you flashed a ROM already you should know how to do the rest
help please can't overclock my LG 4x to 1.6 or 1.7 ........ I don't know why do every think ( root / unlock boot loader ) try most rooms and kernels ( wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik ) !!!!!!!!
baseband for italy
Hello, I'm using baseband form v20d of the turkey stock. I have no network problems with CM11 (or beanstalk) . Anyone would suggest to update to baseband v20c for germany/italy ?
MAC changed during 20C update?
Hello, anyone else noticed that your WLAN-MAC changed during upgrading to latest firmware? I was updating from 20A_EU-->20C_GER. Phone originally came with Telekom Firmware (German). New Baseband works okay for now, crashed yesterday 1 time, but maybe it was related to me hitting the traffic limit on my contract and getting throttled. I'm using the nightly from the 27th.
data connection loss
Hi!
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and i tried a ton of roms, switching back and forth from the cyanogenmod 11 to omni and others... I find almost impossible using my data connection 'cause every time i switch it on, after about 5 minutes i end up having no connection at all (no service). Sometimes my phone asks me to reenter my pin number and everything seems to work fine for a couple of minutes, then i have no service; sometimes it doesn't even ask me the pin code and i have to reboot my phone in order to make a call... How can i fix it? It has driven me crazy, i searched all over the forum for answers but it seems none has my problem.
EDIT
In addition, since i keep off the backlight of the buttons on the bottom, i noticed that whenever this bug occurs, the backlight goes on and keesps staying on 'till i switch it off again, even if i reenter my pin code
