Tonight I'm getting a new LG O2X, and I've been reading about roms and stuff. I decided to install the CM7 Kang RC1 with Etana OC kernel, but first I'd like to know if I'm going to miss features like the front camera in skype/tango, or if the app "LG Touch LED Notifications" will work, which looks very useful because of the lack of a notification led.
If that kind of features don't work, I'll probably stick to a stock based rom. Thanks in advance!
No. To have perfect combo between stock and CM7 I use Hybrid ROM.
But 1080p playback is not working for me. Anyone knows why? On stock rom (2.2.2) i worked i think.
this one?
You mean this one?
I kinda have the same question, adding something else: how's the support for the Tegra video card? If we go out of the stock rom do we lose any performance over graphics and stuff?
Unless you run a modded kernel that allows OC; there isn't much of a difference between stock and CM when it comes to performance gains (+- since stock has a lot of crap that tend to slow down the device, but can be removed of course).

I installed that rom, build 100 and everything is working perfectly I installed ETaNa kernel just because I read people recommending it but I'm still not sure about what the kernel does besides allowing overclock (which I haven't done because I haven't felt it's necessary). Any other advantages?
Just want to confirm, Temasek knows his ****! : )
I was at first rather careful with ROM's and installed CM7 stable (1 year old ROM) on my LG 2x, just to see how it will work. After few months of good use (everything working just great) I suddenly couldn't enable data & 3G networks on the device. Then battery started to show weird issues, like phone will turn on itself and show that it's charging.
10 minutes I go I gave it leap of faith and installed latest Temasek's CM7 RC2-102, MIND BLOWN. Not only it works OOB without ANY issues, fixing the battery and data problem, installation just UPDATED my current ROM to Temasek's build, which means I didn't lose any settings, apps or ANYTHING.
Just install Temasek's builds, you won't regret it.
BTW, how to donate to Temasek, I couldn't find DONATE button?
Cheers!

Thank you.
No one rom is perfect. Soon you will find something not working or something u don't like. Overall cm7 is a very good rom.
Btw I don't ask for donations so u wont see any donation link.
Thanks.
everything is fully functional on cm7 since the fm radio was fixed (and that was a LONNNNGGG time ago)
only things that can be glitchy are the completely NEW features them devs are makin up
and no you dont loose any kind of graphics performance or w.e when going to cm.
yes, front camera also works...
Well, I think video calls don't work, as that is a function of the stock telefone app, but I might be mistaken.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
not only you dont lose, but you also gain... best stock rom+best stock kernel vs best cm7 rom+best cm7 kernel cm7 wins everytime by a big difference, and in graphics some cm7 combos even boost your fps's a bit
Go for Django Manouche stock rom, all works, crap LG apps gone and aroma installer, if cm temasek

Hi guys,
Currently running MCR FR15 but was thinking of giving CM7 a try...
Was wondering which people thought was the better rom at the moment in terms of stability / everything working / best battery life?
Cheers in advance.
I would stick with FR15 for now. It is very reliable. CM7 is way too buggy at the moment. Tried it for 1 day and had a couple of reboot.
i have tried both, CM7 is really not ready yet.
Cm7:
Flash video curruption, Sound stuttering, SOUND distortion , USB Mount to PC bug ,
Most important,
CM7 11. has a bug not all people has been experiencing yet, which the EXTernal USB card is not detecting under Recovery mode. THis **** end up having me NVflash my system, and lost everysingle thing on the device.
Note: if you read the forum , and i am not the only one that has this issue.
i will stay with FR15 for sure.
But to me i rather use STOCK LG ROM, issue free. if you can live with a bit slower UI and installation , other than that i think Custom rom isn't really that much better than LG stock rom with all the issue we are experiencing right now
I tried both, too.
MoDaCo feels more solid with less bug but the battery time kills me. Even with all apps suspended it still drains 10%+ overnight.
CM7 is quite buggy, yes. But I managed to get it running quite a-ok. The most important things work well (phone, gps, usb-storage, youtube, gmail etc...). There are a lots of issues with usb-storage doesnt work for some people and the video driver is still full of bugs (broken flash video, on-off animation don't work yet, screen turns on twice at wake ). Still, the best feature of this CM7 gotta be the battery time which is really really really important for me. Installed CM7 nightly 11 2 night ago and the battery drain has been virtually zero overnight. I will have to monitor it a few more days thought. Just wiped the battery stats yesterday so it might have not been correctly showed yet.

CM7 is completely separate to the recovery, and has no bearing on it. Whatever caused the problem was not CM7.

Totally agree with u.
I would stick with stock until CM7 is ready. Paul will lose interest in the O2X like he does with every device and development will stop. CM7 has a much larger development community and when the final builds are released it will be the perfect Android device.
But to be fair, Paul doesn't stop development on a device until his ROM is as good as he thinks he can get it (which, as I found on my Hero & Blade is pretty damn good - not installed FR15 on my O2X, as still thinking about taking it back).
Tested allmost all cm7 nightlies till v11. Its a dawn good rom, but not reliable at the moment because of the freezes and reboots. I will definitely install cm7 final but till then i continue using fr15 FEAR edition (stable and smoothness ****in rocks )
Hi guys,
Bringing this one back from the dead - we're a month on from the original post... is there any change?
Is MCR (FR17) still the best custom rom?
Of has CM or one of the FR18 roms from here surpassed it?
CM7 has come along way, annoying freezes are a thing of the past.
I'd recommend a modaco based rom. I'm running fear edition and it's nice and fast. Cm7 still has some bugs.
I'd recommend making a nandroid and testing a few out for yourself. Backup and restore is a fairly simple process

I'm running CM7 .42 build at the moment, and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Overall feel is better than with Fr16 (haven't used 17+, since that's when I went on to ecperiment with CM7 nightlies), app installation is faster, Gingerbread (should I say more? Well, yes: it brings UI changes I prefer to Froyo, like the widget selection screen, faster UI overall).
I had issues with Slick2x and Spoelstra's GB ROMs rendering my Wifi unstable and unable to connect after a while, but I have flashed CM7 off the official source and it is bloody stable, fast and I have yet to experience that WiFi bug again. (I have had one reboot, but I am pretty sure it was a sucky app (errrr, game) that caused it. Hard to blame CM7 for that.)
I'm currently not going back to Paul's ROMs for a while. I'll stay a subscriber though: he has magic fingers and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do when LG finally gets us GB....
I'm using the latest CM7 Nightly, it works perfect, but the only issue is that i'm not able to get the internal sd-card mounted.
Anybody got a solution for this?
Look in /mnt/emmc
Thanks, but...
For example the camera won't see it. I think camera app doesn't know the mountpoint. Same at gallery.
Currently, I don't have an external sd-card...
I'll have a try by editing the vold.fstab, perhaps that's it
Edit: just renaming emmc with sdcard and vice versa doesn't solve the problem.
Edit2: It works!
Tested fr17 fearless today, it's nice and quick but i just miss something.. don't know what. Back to cm7

+1 for Modaco or fear Rom CM7 just isn't there yet for an everyday rom, It's close. I still get sound missing or stuttering in MOST music players that only goes away after a reboot but come back randomly. A fair few games just refuse to run under CM7 that run fine under any other non 2.3 rom. So for me any 2.2 based rom is at least usable as 2.3 isn't quit there yet. If you however never use your phone for music/photo or games then CM7 may just be ok for you.
Kernel
Sorry, but you and 'ever fail to install rom with some kernel?? Let me explain:

Not 100% sure what you're trying to say...I recommend a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then dalvik cache in clockwork recovery. Then install your new ROM. If that doesnt work try nvflash back to stock.
Hi there,
I am new to rooting and flashing etc
I have an LG Optimus 2X
I want to over clock my phone to 1.5GHz
I still have stock rom on froyo 2.2.2
LG-P990
Baseband 1035.21_20110614
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990-V10c
I have rooted with super one click.
Can someone please help me? I want to over clock to 1.5GHz and make it fast as possible. Could you please tell me step by step how to do this and what rom to use. I am currently on the stock rom. I have made a back up using rom manager. I have backed up all my apps using Titanium Backup. I may need another method for Nandroid Backup.
I heard that the update to Ginger bread was not good and has a bad camera app not like in 2.2.2. Is the rom and kernel that gives you 2.5GHz e.g. CM 7 going to be a different camera app to the one in froyo?
Thanks
Alright, luckily you have rooted so I don't have to explain that ...
First of all a titanium backup will just do fine so don't worry about that.
Second if you want to overclock you need to flash a custom overclock kernel on your phone. You can find many of those in the dev section of course. There are even custom overclock kernels for stock rom if you rather want to have stock instead of MIUI or CM.
So flashing a kernel goes as follows...
1. Download the kernel (duh.... )
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Flash Kernel
(this will only work for you if you want to flash a custom kernel for stock roms of course)
Then your next question...
Uhm... Yeah, I think it's true that the camera app on Froyo is better than on other roms. At least that's what I've read in the many threads here on XDA.
Hope this helped

WOW!! Thanks for the fast reply!! On other sites I would wait one day for an answer!
I would like to try cm7.1 stable but I am not sure if I would like it and I have never flashed a rom so a bit nervous.
What are you running currently?
Haha, but this is not just some other site this is XDA!
Currently I'm running a CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch. You can find IronKernel in the dev section of course.
If you want to try CM then I think you should also try a. CM7.2 KANG. Those are better than just ordinary CM7.0.1. Note that if you want to try cm, you have to do a full wipe in recovery mode (wipe data, cache, dalvik) but you can always restore your data with titanium backup.
What you also could do in case everything goes wrong (I highly doubt it) is to make a total rom backup from your stock rom so you can always go back to stock. You do this by going to ROM manager and click on backup ROM. To restore the backup you go to recovery and click on restore backup.
Personally I like CM more than any other rom because it's very smooth and has a nice UI. But this of course is just a matter of taste.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Is there really a kernel thaf allows overclocking to 1.5ghz on o2x? Because I only know spica's Horse power kernel did implemented it, but because there are so few devices that can run 1.5ghz stable, it was dropped back to 1.4ghz.
In fact there are many kernels which can run 1.5 Ghz stable. For example IronKernel, VorkKernel and Swiftextreme you can find them all in the dev section.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
You should precise that the above kernels are only for CM7.
On stock ROMs you can use Spica's kernels and FPS dr4go's ones.
On stock ROMs it was decided to get rid of 1.5 as depending of hardware flaws, some had great instability, and no real gain compared to 1408 MHz.
AFAIK, those speeds are not necessary for daily use... You won't gain much subjective smoothness I guess, with a good kernel at stock speed it's very snappy.
But you'll loose battery much more faster. Even 'non Tegra Zone' games are very fluid at stock speed, as most of them have been designed for monocore phones...
The only gain should be if you regularly read MKV HD films.

Oops yeah you're right
A KANG is a CM rom but then developed by some developers outside cyanogen. They use cyanogens source code and improve it to as they want. Often they put new or other things in the rom those are referred as cherry-picks. So a KANG is actually an improved CM stable ROM.

How do I get all this CM7.2 KANG + IronKernel with vadonkas Powersave patch?
What is the vadonkas powersave patch?
Is the CM7.2 KANG a single rom?
Yes. Flash the ROM in first of my previous answer (Temasek's Kang). Then grab Ironkernel in the kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307).
Vadonka : it's a script you add to any ROM you want, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310272&page=12 .... Search in posts Vadonka's signature, there are links for his script.
You should be aware that cm7 is nothing like stock LG roms. CM7 has original gingerbread looks and feel.
Thank you.
I am going to flash soon just a few more questions.
In the Ironkerne download page there are lots of files and there is:
ironkrnL32-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL96-20120103h0852.zip
ironkrnL64-20120103h0852.zip
Which one must I get the 32, 96 or 64?
Temasek's Kang:
He said "I've not tested those bluetooth stuffs I just added, so don't ask me."
Does this mean bluetooth might not work?
vadonkas Powersave patch:
Is the "CM7 kernel only (version: 2.6.32.45) for O2X" one I must use?

Hey again
IronKernel also comes with a ramhack for your phone. So 32, 64 and 96 just means the amount of extra mb ram for your phone.
However note that this ramhack also comes with a prize namely:
32 MB = no reboot possible
64 MB = 1080 p video recording and reboot doesn't work
96 MB = no reboot and no 1080 p/720 p video recording and some heavily textured 3d games might not work. Also for some reason the camera doesn't work either.
More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307
Second question:
It might not work, but you can always try it or just read the replies from other users. They'll inform whether it works or not. However you can assume that it works since it's a fairly recent KANG.
Third Question:
Yep, just flash it right over your IronKernel. You might want to wipe cache and Dalvik first. (at least that's what I did)
Or what you also could do is directly flash vadonkas hybrid on your phone. This contains already the latest IronKernel with patch.
Then your last question:
I'm using Go Launcher and widgetlocker too and yeah it will hide the gingerbread theme definitely if you install other themes for cm and for Go Launcher. Like for example ICS.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
I don't need a ram hack.
What is ICS?
All I want to do is use a new good rom that has not bloat ware and stuff to slow it down, over clock to 1.5 and when screen is off under clock to save battery.
Now I don't want to do a ram hack since I don't know what it is or why I need it.
I am now confused. please help.
Bluetooth works since long in CM (that means a couple of month at least lol), but to test A2DP (bluetooth audio pairing to listen music on external devices) you must have... a dedicated device, and probably Temasek doesn't have one.
I don't kown anything in IronKernels, I don't use CM7 anymore.
If you want to try stock without bloat I think Gueste 2X is a good choice. I clearly think 1.5GHz OC is not a critical point to evaluate a ROM/Kernel.
What's gueste 2x??
Since I got my o2x i have been customing and upgrading trying to find its happiness and i can honestly say I have!!! My o2x is currently whizzing around like its on an overdoze of speed. I am a heavy user, I use my o2x for everything and I sometimes feel sorry for the poor thing. I have tried lots of customs roms and kernels but this worked so well for me I have to talk about it so here it goes.
If you are still reading I assume you have already rooted your device and currently have a stock rom on it, if not please don't ask me as I am not a developer and I am sure you know how the internet (google search) works. This is what worked for me and if it doesnt for you I am really sorry but find your own happiness.
Right to business:
1. Get on CM7 latest nightly
2. Follow Temasek http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425 and get kanged
3. Swiftextreme kernel (wish that developer comes back to xda ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183
3. Match RIL with get RIL (725 v10d, Europe) worked for me
Voila your o2x is now a superphone on speed, if it works for you, you will feel the difference.
Keep your tweaks (kangs and kernels) in a folder where you can easily update and recover. You will have to repeat the steps when updating kang.....no wipe necessary.
FYI: please note that I am a user and not a developer and I cannot be held responsible for your device....READ INSTRUCTIONS properly and always BACKUP before flashing (cos it makes people get a better view lol....sorry had to).
Does it work for you? Dont thank me thanks to all the great developers of the android community who are priceless and make priceless contributions.
Post your device's happiness. What is working for you?

i know swiftextreme is outdated and thats what shocked me....i have tried ironkernel and it constantly crashes and for some reason Vadonkas kernel not working for me, phone doesnt boot nothing. I am on swiftextreme now and it is extremely stable quickly switching between apps. I can be gaming, tethering and replying to my messages everything, which with ironkernel it would start lagging and rebooting but this is really stable. Vandonkas look good and I might give it a go
Hmm these kernels should work with the latest kangs
what about camera? is it good? did you compared it with one on stock rom? IMHO low quality camera is the only, but huge disadvantage of custom roms that are not based on stock.
Yeah I know but for some reason just not working for my o2x. Wud be great to have a more up to date kernel but swiftextreme works really well. I'll keep following updates see if I get lucky

ps. I suffer the freeze problem sometimes. For now, I use it only for game and chat. When I play a game, I usually suffer that the game hangs, and popup "Force Close"
And sometimes phone automatically shut off.
I was bored, until I feel nothing about it...... (too often until I buy new phone to use as phone, and use 2X as a video game device)
Look for temasek's Kang rom in the Development forum. It's quite stable, has a great performance and battery life is good too.

You might also want to change your kernel. Vorkkernel is outdated, try either ETaNa Kernel or Ironkernel. You should be able to find them in the dev section.
yeah, I know that my rom and anything of that is really old because of I play lots of game and don't want anything to be erased. Also, that time the new rom update too fast. I was bored of changing rom every 3 days. So I stopped following all of these and keep using it.
And now, I think the time has come to modify everything.
Can you guys tell me the best version of everything for me to upgrade it.
e.g. Firmware (my 2x is still V10B)
Baseband
Kernel
and Rom
if you specify version for me, it would be much faster for me to find it
thank you
Allright,
Firmware: Either Android 2.3.X or 4.0 (your choice, however 4.0 is still in alpha phase, so not everything is working perfectly)
Baseband: Different for each and every phone. Do you have good signal and call quality right now? Then there is no need to change your baseband. Make sure to have a matching RIL file with your BB. Download one from the GetRIL app.
Rom: For Android 2.3.X (a.k.a Gingerbread) I would recommend temasek's latest CM7 KANG, or the latest CM7 nightlies, because they are the best and most recent. Temasek can't continue his CM7 work anymore unfortunately, but his Kangs are rock-solid. (Link in signature)
For Android 4.0 (a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich) you can choose between the latest RC'S CM9 SelfKANG (link in signature) or Owain's CM9 KANG. (dev section) They're both pretty new and are quite stable despite being in an alpha stage. However, not everything is working perfectly, but I can tell you once everything works, CM9 will be much better than CM7.
Kernel: If you use CM7, you can choose between many kernels. The best ones I would recommend are the ETaNa Kernel (link in signature) and Ironkernel. These kernels are the most recent and have the best performance. Unfortunately the dev from Ironkernel, SetIron, left XDA so you cant follow the development over here.
For CM9 there is only one custom kernel available, which is also Ironkernel from SetIron. (link in signature) Although I must say that it's not fully stable because CM9 being in an alpha stage.
Hope this helped
For me, temasek's latest CM7 KANG is the best ROM so far.
However, seeing you havent change ur ROM for the last 6 months and familiar with nightlies, I would recommend you to update to the latest CM7 nightlies.
Just as simple as that. no need to think and you will find your O2X in its best performance.
I recommend Temasek's Kang. I started using is a few weeks ago and it's the best GB rom I've used. I'd still be on it, if I hadn't tried CM9.
thank you all you guys, I will try it soon.
temasek has stopped kanging? Now what?

Go for the CM7 nightlies or for CM9.
Hi, i'm new here, and i got a P990 Optimus Dual 2 days ago. Yesterday morning i flashed CWM and then the rom Nova-HD.
I tried it for a while and i like it, kinda smooth etc... but it have so many bugs and i can't use this ROM for my daily Usage (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607238 same problems as this fellow).
I want to try them all, but i need a starting point to rely on (and i want ICS too). So my point is: Could you advice me on a ROM/KERNEL/OTHER STUFF that is stable (not so much, i can live with bugs), does not drain battery in 5 hours, and is reliable?
I'm not so new here (i had a liquid/mini/metal and a SGS+) but when i look at the changelogs and Release logs i really don't know what to look at...
I highly recommend Temasek's Unofficial CM7 ROM.
Rock solid for stability. Only known bug is the arbitrary charging SOD that some people are getting.

If you want a stable ICS rom, you have to wait till LG official release ICS.
If you want a stable rom, use temasek`s unofficial CM7 build or
Chuck Norris Edition V.1.2, (it`s based on temasek`s rom, with additional tweaks and customization options).
The official LG V20Q/V20R, is also a good stock gingerbread rom.
(of course there will be other very good roms, but I don`t have tried other roms actually)
Uhm, i don't really know if i can go back from ICS... ya, it is bugged and all, but it is also so ****ing beautiful *_* i don't really mind bugs, i need stability only on SMS and calls... i can fix internet and the rest with a reboot =|
So the question is, which is the most stable ICS CM9 ROM/KERNEL?
EDIT: I am now installing harsch kernel
I really liked the combo of nova hd and harsh kernel. However I missed being able to record video, so it was back to stock gingerbread for me...
Yeah, i like it too. I flashed harsh yesterday and i don't have any bugs (except for videos and wi-fi tethering [not tested]) This combo is quite nice ^^
