[Q] Custom Rom Camera Issues! - LG Optimus 2x

why is custom rom camera is poor compared to stock rom of optimus 2x?

Because there is no media acceleration.

There is already a ported stock camera for cm7 (if that is what you are refering as 'custom rom') somewhere in temasek cm7 thread. It works as good as stock camera.
If you are talking about ics cm9, then there's basically no media hardware acceleration yet because the drivers are not released yet.

how to install cm9 lg optimus 2x

hey guys can anybody provide instruction on how to flash cm9 on my optimus 2x. also is it ext3 or ext4 and which one is the best kernel + rom combo.
can games like gta 3 also run on cm9?
The two best CM9 roms are as far as I know, Owains CM9 build and Heis Nova HD. (you can find them both in the dev section). I believe CM9 is EXT4, like CM7.
As for kernels it becomes a little more complicated because there are about 5 different kernels for CM9 (Spicas HP extreme, Harsh's Reborn, Supernova HD, wkparks 3.0 kernel, Ironkernel (don't use this one!) and stock CM9 of course) So there is a lot to choose from, all you have to do is reading the threads and make up your own mind.
If you want to flash CM9, you first need to make a backup of your apps, contacts etc., because it requires a full wipe. Oh, you also need CM9 gapps obviously, you can find them somewhere on the Internet.
So all you gotta do in CWM recovery is:
1. (optional) Backup CM7
2. Wipe data/system/dalvik
3. Install rom
4. Install kernel
5. Flash gapps
Then you should be done!
what about games, do they run in cm9 like gta 3 or fruit ninja?
I think they should work ok, but not at their maximum potential. As you might know, CM9/ICS for our device still lacks HW acceleration. This essentially makes your phone smoother, so also gaming. With other words they should work fine if you compare it to CM7, but not good enough if you compare it to normal ICS with HW acceleration I think.

I have played both of these games and they run absolutely the same as on cm7
B/w I'm running cm9 with hp kernel rc1-r
Only thing is that idle battery life (8 hrs sleep time) is increased from 3% to 5-6%...not much of a problem if you ask me
so what i cant do in ics, take video recording and view videos as well as no adobe flash?
also is stock kernel owain kangs build stable and smooth?

Actually you can use MX Video player to watch just about any video you want, upto 720p in S/W fast mode
Havn't tried Owain Build, but i think Spica's Kernel, ironkernel and stock ics kernel are stable enough....have tried them all and no bsod's!!
As for video recording there is video illusion working in cm9

At the moment one of the best builds/kernels, an alternative would be the SuperNova kernels.

Harch kernel is also a good kernel if you want stock speeds and good battery life.

It would be nice if someone more experienced explain all steps for installing NOVA HD i mean explanation about steps for customization NOVA HD. Tnx in advance.
I would suggest you to try out latest Owain's rom and if I get it right, he have baked harsh rom with fix kernel into the rom, so you can use UMS (usb mass storage) for now latest is build 40 but i guess it is b41 comming out today for some reasons.. It is the smoothest and more stable rom that I ever had.. And battery life is awesome coz i guess harsh kernel is set to undervolt, but it doesn't affect the performance, and no problems with watching videos, for taking video you can take Videocam Illusion, works on g2x and o2x . I dont know about full version, but free one's quality is ****ty, but just in case I see UFO crash lol =)
What are the steps if i want to revert back to CM7, because i hate that the video camera doesn't work?
Tks.

If you completely backed up your CM7, then I recommend you restore your backup.
Hi all,
I'm in Gingerbread 20Q now, and I'd like to install CM9 (owain's ROM) so I have some questions:
1. I have to convert my filesystem to EXT3 before install?
2. Kernel and Gapps are baked in the Rom or I have to download/install it separately?
3. There are RIL/baseband reccomended?
4. Someone says that Camera/Video have problems, someone not... I'll be possible to take photos/video with CM9 or not?
5. Someone talk about a "full wipe", so I will lose all my photos and files if I install CM9 ?
Thank you
D.
Hi all
I installed the lastet official update ... I've to say... what a disappointment. Battery life is extremely short... so before trying go back, I think a will install CM9. Being new... may I ask some help for installation? Ok, I dowloaded NovaHD_RC24-50_fixed.zip and the kernel SuperNova-RC4.zip. May I ask some of you to explain each step an which tool I have to use?
thx in advance

Hello,

I would suggest to you SuperOneClick for rooting your phone and CWM 5.0.2.8; this is what i'm currently using and i have flashed several custom roms/kernels using this. I'll help you find the tutorial link on how to root LG 2x. Hope it helps.
Which is better Stock ROM with Custom Kernel or CM7 ??
Which is the best ROM and Kernel out there?
You could also try owains cm9 build. I use it and I'm really happy with how it works.

I would suggest, Temasek's unofficial CM7 build combine with Vadonka's kernel. There are some bug/issues regarding the kernel but you can try it out. I'm using temasek's stock cm7 with voodoo sound. It's in his thread. Check it out!
I think there is no "the best". It depends on your requirements.
Still not providing Hardware acceleration, i would mark a question sign at CM9. But anyway, if you dont do a lot of videos, you might be happy.
Some custom rom come with CWM and some othet stuff check their changelog. Try temasek rom gd build.

Some Problems with my O2X

Hi I have MIUI [GB] 2.4.6 running and have a few problems, not sure if its related to the rom
1. The accelerometer sensor doesnt seem to work properly in Temple Run.
2. Some times the data connection is lost and I have to manually select network again. Phone calls are fine. Baseband 824
And is there camera mod working for MIUI roms for better quality?
as for the camera i would advise to try 360 camera free from the market, as for the other issues, i would advise you to get cm7 or a stock based rom with a good kernel, or maybe just try updating the baseband, i think its a bit old and a new kernel might help you
Any recommended kernels for MIUI?
Definitely latest etana beta kernel.

Its based on your preference you have stock /no oc/, OC, and with DS batery driver. Based on the date you havent flashed beta but stable.

SGS+: Cant we include GB Camera on ICS/JB CM ?

Hi There,
Dont know its really possible or not,still, as we have a Nice Samsung stock Camera available for SGS+(GT-I9001) from Stock GB ROMs, can't we include the same on ICS and JB Custom Roms ?
I know we have a working Camera for ICS CM9 ROM, but the one in GB is Perfect and if its possible to copy the same to ICS it would be good.
If this method is working , the same could be used in JB also, as Camera remains a bug on newly ported CM10.
Cheers,
Kirankumar.
Both stock camera and fm radio are closed source from Samsung, so it's near impossible to port. Blame Samsung.

ICS Camera fix ?

hey guys
i thought that we are using CM10 and 10.1 but no one is using CM9 since official ICS released to our OB so i was thinking that what if we tried to replace camera lib's and Bin's and files releated to the camera from official ICS to CM9 will camera work in CM9 ?
i dont like CM10 and CM10.1 and unofficial CM10.2 because of the battery drain and video FPS so i thought that if we can use the official ICS camera libs and binary's on CM9 will it work
(Sorry if there are any mistakes, English is not my native language)
Best regards
