Is it possible to make custom roms to lg o2x out of lg optimus black rom. Many will ask why , the reason is Arabic language is fully supported in lg optimus black and its not in o2x. I am talking about official roms not cm7 .

sorry wrong post
There is a stock O2X rom with arabic. I just installed it and works great. It is on xda.
Can't post a link because I am a noob here, sorry
Hello all.
I'd just like to mention this is my very first experience with an android phone, so please help me out here.
I've decided to try and mod my WIND's LG Optimus 2X (P999), looked around these forums, and not really sure where to go. I have seen threads on Optimus 2X P990 (I didn't even know there was a P990 version), I've seen ones on T-Mobile G2X and so on, but I have no idea if rooting those would be the same for my device.
If you could please direct me to the right threads and/or tools I'd greatly appreciate it.
EDIT: It just came to my attention that everyone's phone here seems to be the P990, yet mine clearly states P999 when i remove the battery cover. Yet it's still called the Optimus 2X. Now I'm more confused.
Hello!
The LG P999 is the G2x and this is very similar to the LG P990 – it is the version for the American market while the SU660 is the Korean version and P990 for the rest of the world.
The main difference is AFAIK in the preinstalled ROM and therefore you need to look for a rooting method for G2x…
You could try SuperOneClick first - since this is the easiest way and wouldn’t hurt – if it fails look for a root method for P999(aka G2x).

Hi and welcome.
To see if your phone is p990 or p999,
go to Settings > About phone.
Then see its model number. That is what your phone is.
WIND Optimus 2X is a T-Mobile G2X with an LG branded ROM, hardware wise, they are indentical and use the same rooting method.
Thank you very much guys! The SuperOneClick method took a few tries but worked in the end. Here's another question. My device is still running Froyo thanks to WIND refusing to roll out any updates. Which version should i now install? I recall ICS is the newest one, but is that the best one to install? Links to threads/tools will be much appreciated.
You can install any T-Mobile G2X ROM, the stock based ones are either 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, CM7/MIUI is 2.3.7
Nothing ICS is fully working yet.
okay, ICS is out of the question then. do you recommend i go for gingerbread or honeycomb?
Honeycomb is also out of the question, it's Gingerbread or nothing.
Ok guys... ran into a problem. Did everything in this wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide
Installed clockworkmod, downloaded cyanogen7, started the zip from recovery, everything went ok. But now I am stuck at the lg screen. Can't do anything from there... Please help me out of you're familiar with this problem.
EDIT: Entering recovery just boots me back to the lg screen. Currently searching for solutions.
EDIT: In this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
I can't get the lg logo on step 11 to show up. So far no luck. I think It's because I made the mistake of flashing the Optimus 2X one, instead of the G2X. I guess from now on I am treating my phone strictly as the G2X...
EDIT: (Additional details): I have done everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 I have the drivers, the one click flasher, etc. I get stuck on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery section, step 7. I am simply unable to get any files to copy to my device. As soon as I "press any button to continue", I hear teh usb sound on my computer and my phone just disconnects (driver no longer visible in device manager).
EDIT: I had to plug it into the usb port at the back of my comp, instead of the two front ones..... What the hell, I don't even..... I finally flashed and got it to work. Thanks to every one who did their best to help me!
I am running the wind mobile g2x I find the most stable setup is weapon g2x 3.0_r1 no crashes ever with faux 123 0.1.3 kernel not to mention the benchmark score of 6987 took me a lot of frustration trying to run cm7 before I began running weapon g2x
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Hello,
I'm currently on CM7.2 but i want full HW support...
How do i upgrade from CM7.2 to this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545
Please don't use abbreviations of stuff which i obviously wont understand, RIL? I see that in pretty much every XDA thread but am clueless as to what it is? haha
And will this work perfectly for my optimus 2X P990 on the Network 3 UK?
Seriously, Massive noob to this, only owned this phone for a week and only had blackberries before, Currently only know how to ROOT, install roms and kernels...
Thank you, Jamie
you're using CM 7.2 right?? so it means, at least you know how to flash via CWM.
then, you just need to follow all the steps thoroughly : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33361808&postcount=2
got any question or problem? read the faq
I have an optimus 2x and a friend of mine just bought a P999 (G2x) but its not the t-mobile g2x at the top of the screen it doesn't writes T-mobile......just in the software says it p999 and the back cover panel is like the g2x ones.....are the 2 model very diferent? Can't flash p990 roms and stuff to p999 right?
oh god I'm sorry....please delete this thread......don't blame me sorry sorry I found something about my question....please delete this....I'm a noob sorry:crying:
To answer your question, yes you can flash (some) p990 ROMs to p999 if u alter the partition layout, but you will have no connectivity whatsoever.

Hi guys I am looking for new rom for my lg optimus 2x still unrooted. I need you guys to recommend me rom for my phone. I want rom in which everything is working but which is running smoothly, cuz I hate lame orginal lg 4.0.4v. I want newest android v but which is working fine , to sum up I want perfect rom. Was looking some videos of cm 10.1 in which it has brightness problems. tnx for help guys
Buddy this is an development thread, so please ask the mod to move it to the Q&A thread, as far as your reply, I would ask you to check the 10.1 rom for yourself, coz everyone needs and taste differs.
This post is awesome dude!
