Hi all,
A colleague bought Optimus 2X but it won't record and reproduce a video. Everything else is ok. They say that it need just drivers? This is the model (on croatian language):
Is it just up to driver or it could be a hardware problem?
Thank you
Your friend must have bought it secondhand with a hackfest CyanogenMod 9 installed on it.
Yes, due to the lack of ICS drivers, it is impossible to shoot video or have hardware acceleration (making apps like Chrome unusable).
I recommend downgrading to Gingerbread (CyanogenMod 7.2 ideally) for the time being until LG releases its drivers (aka kernel source).
If not, the app VideoCam Illusion will do non-HD video if your friend really wants to stick with the Android 4.0.4 ROM.
LG has released an official ICS for its Korean version of the Optimus 2X, with hardware acceleration and video recording working, so we will get a proper ICS/JB ROM soon, just gotta wait
Ok thank you.
Where i can download that ROM, i see there is many version of it on this forum?
Thank you

Hey.
current news says that lg 2x will never get a ics-update...
how does it look out with video recorder...
will it never work without the official ics update??? or is there anyone trying to write the video drivers?
ICS 4.0 Sources Out - All discussions here!
That would be a good place to ask this question..........
Hello all,
I have a LG P999 (Optimus 2X) running on WIND that will not connect to the network. it was attempted to upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean but was not successful. it was then tried to restore the device twice and here it is.
The current specs are:
- Android 2.2.2
- Baseband version – Unknown
- Kernal version – 2.6.32.9
- Build number – FRG83G
- Software version – LG-P999-AWC-V11h
The phone is a GSM device running on 1700 frequency on Wind Mobile in Canada.
Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations on how i should restore this device ? Where can we get the latest stock firmware and what program should we use to flash it with?
Thanks in advance,
1. WIND never updated the P999 beyond Froyo, sadly. There aren't going to be any ICS/JB updates
2. Use LG's own tool to restore back to stock Froyo.
3. If you want any custom ROMs that allow the phone part of the phone to work, it's GB or a hackfest ICS/JB. Official CM10 with hardware acceleration has been shown to work perfectly except the phone radio won't work and so it becomes useless as a phone...
You will find vastly more support at the G2X forums, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114. Although Wind and Videotron brand the P999 as an Optimus 2X, hardware wise it is really the same as the American G2X.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
As for the custom roms at this point im not interested. I will be happy if I can get the latest software on the phone and it working properly.
Do you know the name of LG's tool to do this? Or where I can download it?
Thanks for the help

Just to clarify, are you having a problem with your phone, i.e. is it bricked or supper buggy right now? If your phone is working fine and dandy, then there is no official "latest software" on the WIND version of the P999. To go beyond Froyo you will need a custom ROM (which works far better than stock anyways).

is this the software you are talking about?
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999
LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
The phone turns on and you can get to its desktop with the apps and so on however it is not working correctly, it does not connect to the wind network or anything like that. It was flashed/updated with some other firmware and now it does not work properly so I'm trying to fix it for somebody.
Thanks

Yeah you can use that tool.
Alternatively, try rooting then using GetRIL.

I'll give the tool a try as I have never done rooting so would not even know where to start. The tool seems the easiest if it will work.
Hey guys
So i am currently on the official ICS 4.0.4 V30A ROM by Civato 's awesome Flex Icer..
Got a bit bored of the LG things and all and wanted to try out CM10 (since 10.1 isn't stable). All i need is STABILITY.
As in no bootloops and Radios working perfectly etc (just the way this ROM works)
I haven't seen a clear cut answer till now regarding the stability of CM10 on SU660 KOREAN 2X.
If any of u have tried it out please let me know ur experiences and the stability too
Also tell me regarding Paranoid Android
One more thing
Will i be able to revert back to the ROM by mere flashing of ROM and the Kernel used with it?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-SU660
I don't know on su660, but I'm supposing it's at the same state as its brother p990, which I have.
If you're looking for stability, stick on stock ics. Cm10 is not totally unstable, but far from being totally stable. Hdmi doesn't work, and for Bluetooth you will have to flash pengus kernel. And that kernel is great, but bugged since it uses ramhack, so apps with hard gpu use crash, e.g. HDR camera every time you try to use it at 8mpx. And it makes the device reboot! I also had this behaviour using flipboard, dlna server or playing flash video on browser.
I make all these things systematically on dm1.4 with civz 2.3 kernel, and my device stays without a single boot for more than a week easily. This is stability.
Do not say "thanks"; just press it under here.

You're welcome. I think it'll work, just do not forget to flash the su660 kernel before rebooting or you'll get bootloop

Hello,
So, I flashed official ICS to Optimus 2x P990. After that, LG software recongnized my phone and offered to update the
phone once again to XXXB something version of ICS.
Now, don't get me wrong. Update to B changed nothing, the phone still lags. It lags without having anything else installed.
Are there ways to overcome lag problems? I was given this old phone by a relative to learn Android dev since emulator is slow
but experience while testing is also horrible.
If you switch Chrome on, it takes forever to load and lags terribly when you try to type some search term to url bar.
I am interested in fixing this phone before I will need to buy another.
Regards.

Hi.
This is my first post but i'll try to answer your question.
Stock ICS rom is laggy indeed. Try to use custom ROM. I'm now using Paranoid Android ROM 4.45 and it went smoother.
Cheers.
You can use this modified ICS ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-2x/development/rom-slimfaststockpluss-t2883798
It's so much better.
