[Q] Optimus 2x, BB,Ril,Rom ??

Hi Guys,
I'm currently running the lastest CM Nightly and have never changed Baseband or Kernel.
The question is should i? and is there a better rom to be using?

Hi!
I believe you've got a good ROM now. The latest CM nightly is pretty good I think so there is no need to change that. (Although, you could try Temaseks CM7 KANG, but that's just my opinion , link in signature btw)
BB is another story though. You should ask yourself: Do I have good signal and call quality? If so, then there's no need to change it. At least I wouldn't change it. What I would try to change is your RIL (if it's necessary though). Download the GetRIL app on the market and let it check if your RIL and BB match. If they match then keep it that way . If not change it using that app.
Kernels on the other hand are optional. If you want to overclock your CPU, or if you want a ramhack then you should flash a kernel. Right now I believe you've got stock CM kernel on your phone, which is pretty good, but not the best. Take a look at the ETaNa Kernel thread, (link in signature) There you'll find more information about what this kernel does with your phone.
Oh and one more thing, you don't HAVE TO change your rom etc. I mean, it's not like we're forcing you to change it right? When you're happy with what you have right now, why don't you keep it like that? But, it's your choice obviously

Hello I will always recommend you try if you want to flash the baseband 1120 greatly enhances the quality of the call!

cheers guys, where can i find the latest basebands as my call & signal quality isn't great

I think the first thing you should try (also because it's the easiest thing to do) is to get "GetRIL" app from gmarket or gplay or whatever it's called now and see if your RIL and BB match. If they don't, get the matching RIL and see if that has improved quality. If it has, great, no further action necessary... if it hasn't then you can proceed to experimenting with different BB

Here the baseband see real improvements if known and remembered as they told others to find the right GetRil with RIL.
If you have been good press thanks.
Thank you!

Have you installed the corresponding RIL, which is located in the thread?

Also, not every BB works perfectly on every phone, country and provider... So yeah, as said before, first try a matching RIL and then look if you connection improves...

i've got the getril app and its showing that i dont have matching ril and bb but when i downloaded it to be matching and it actually caused me to drop more calls and have other problems,
restored so they arent matching but im getting better reception and generally internet works most of the time.
so my question whats the point of them both supposed to be matching?

current ril 0218 (V10b, Europe)
current BB 1035.21_20111120
the app says i should get ril 1120 (v20l)
anyone have any better combo suggestions?

I suggest you just put that in. Nothing will gonna happen. If its worse than before you can put old RIL back anytime.

In the post that I have posted for the baseband are also the RIL to flash!

So, did you try to put this new RIL? Any improvements?

Like SP1996AC and I said, you should have started by changing only the RIL. This is the easiest of the operations and could have fixed your problem.
Like they say in America, you start by picking the low hanging fruit first.
You climbed the tree and found out that the fruit on the top wasn't good... now you have to climb down again and try the other fruit.

Thanks for the reply. I did try the suggested rail but it was worse which is why I went back to a mismatch. I will try the other combinations but at the moment its working OK so might stick to this until the weekend.
Thanks

RIL / Baseband

Hi,
I want to change the baseband to check if I can get better audio quality.
I used GetRIL. It appears 4 options:
V11b
LG-P970-V20o
LG-P970-V20n-Zeus v6.28
CM7
I have V11b but the baseband doesn't match. The only that mach is LG-P970-V20n-Zeus v6.28. But when I change to that baseband, it asks for my SIM securty passcode the first time, like it should. But after a little bit, it asks again, like in a loop.
Can anyone help me why is this? And which baseband is better (CM7 (temasek))
Thanks

Cm7 only working with v11b RIL. So you need a baseband from v10-v11 rom
The baseband of a v10-v11 rom is 20110707
EDIT: The temasek's cm7 rom is for the optimus x2. You dont use boype's rom? Because the voice sound quality is bad in all cm7. Baseband will help a bit but your voice will still bad. Test new boype fix, apparently the voice call is much better than before!

Thanks, I didn't know that.
I will try his next release

AFAIK temasek has one kang for O2x and another kang for OB(and other phones too), its not an exclusive unofficial build.

[Q] Best ICS/JB Rom

What is the best ICS/JB Rom Out There?
Currently I am on CM7 by Temasek.. would you recommend me to upgrade? are there any ICS/JB roms stable as CM7?

since you're not a newbie, you should already know that those kind of questions are forbidden on xda...

since there was no dev lately.. it been a long time since i visited optimus 2x forums.. it would be kind of you to tell me if it is recommended to upgrade to ICS.. i know that there are bugs still in CM10 like Call audio etc.. but ICS roms i know notting about them..
Thx.

i tried both ics and cm10, and Temasek's cm7 still works best for me...
cm10 is smooth, but until they solve in-call audio bug and wi-fi battery drain - i won't switch to it again...

I also tried CM10 and i really liked it.. hope they solve the bugs, we lost some big devs.. like temasek, vadonka, stefan.. etc.. maybe they return someday as I'm sure our optimus 2x will revive another year with them..
Thanks for your help

The "best" ROM, is VERY subjective, and you will need to try them to determine that for yourself. Closing thread

Lets talk about CM10 and ICS - with POLL

Hi peeps!
So... moving away and not spam the other dev and general threads, I just wanted to open a new one where we can discuss about the differences between CM10 on old bootloader (cause the other roms are soooo 2011 ) and the new STOCK ICS great tuned roms on NEW BOOTLOADER
I was using DM v30b ICS for a long time and I was pretty satisfied! But after I saw the call bug fix on the official CM10, I didn't even think about it and replaced it
Not that the DMs version isnt fine, but I was remembering that the CM10 version on old bootloader was pretty awesome!
Im using the CM10 official and the only thing I would say against it is the battery life Everything else is awesome!
P.S. This thread is not for DEVs, cause I dont want to offend anyone with posts like "This ROM is much better than this".
Every dev here is FUK*n AWESOME and the jobs they do are amazing... Be honest... before our devs started to tune the phones, we would all be on some freakin apple ****s! (sorry for my language!).
Keep up that good job and ignore our post and threads, its just sharing opinions between consumers
PUT yOUR OPINIONS IN HERE RIGHT NOW !

That's right, Official CM10 is Awesome since LG release their source code. But I will be honest, I tried the first Stock ICS v30a and I was not happy with it because of the speed...even if we have 2 cores. Then I return to cm10...but since we have official source code, the devs start making custom kernel which are really AWESOME, seriously. So, I'm now on cm10 (old bt) with Pidocchio kernel (old bt) for about 5-6 weeks...and it rocks. :good:

CM10 for new bootloader by pengus77
Flashed it yeastarday and the battery life is amazing.

I think cm 10 is pretty awesome, the only thing holding it back for me using it is the battery drain
And LG's official ICS was ***t if u need something thats stable ( i know it doesn't really belong here ) i think u need to back to GB like temasek's builds, but that's my meaning

pengus77 is doing a very nice job. and like marsgod took his fix to gerrit to be reviewed by cm team and they included into official repository, i think pengus77 job should too. in that way, no need to continue with the new bootloader cause is a waste of space and a mess for everybody to move there with nvflash. id we can continue using our gb bootloader and partition layout, that one we used during about 1 year, why not continue if it is working alright? my vote for cm10 official with those all changes commited into cm repository.

I'm using original locked and unrooted 30B in Italy even it is made for ESA region.
I think that this rom is near to be a definitive stable rom: very smooth and fast, no problems except for a battery drain still high (20 hours autonomy with 40% wifi); the camera could be better, too.
I'm very happy of it and I'm waiting for the same LG release for EU.
I never used overclocking or custom kernels even if I tested most of the custom roms available here on XDA. I must say that I never found a real advantage nor stability testing these roms, maybe now the time for them is near to be over.

I am still on Temasek's CM7 as I needed long battery and rock solid/stable operation... Waiting for our CM10 team to fix the battery drain (old boot loader) and I'll take the dive

I have a question about the call bug: when does it usually show up?
I have never experienced it, but at the same time none of my calls are ever longer than 5 minutes.
I'm still on a really early version of CM10, and I've never run into the call bug.
Only problem really is the WiFi drain. Has that been fixed? I haven't been keeping up with the latest nightlies.

The call bug was said to be caused by a race condition - meaning it creeps up unexpectedly depending on the activity done with the phone in that timeframe.
As for wifi drain, flash the kernel tonyp compiled (containing pengus77's fix), onto any CM10 nightly that came out after the V30a sources dropped (basically December onwards).
You really should get a nightly from December onwards - a lot of things, not just the call bug, were fixed or improved along the way. I'm on 01/03 and having an improved experience over the SU660-based sources.

CM10 by arcee is very stable for me with self-compiled kernel of 24mb ramhack and patches from wkpark(including the lg twin boot logo fix). Very smooth and no BSODs and call bug. Just waiting for cm10.1 to be released by arcee.

Just to clarify, I flash the ROM first and then flash the kernel afterwards? Do I need to re-flash the kernel every time I flash a new nightly?

Yes and yes (since a new nightly will overwrite whatever kernel you have).

Thanks!
And just one last question:
So the callbug is fixed on the newest nightlies, but the WiFi fix has not been submitted/merged yet? So if I want the WiFi fix I still have to flash the kernel tonyp compiled, which I'm assuming is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36032539&postcount=661 ?

just like that bro

Which JellyBean ROM is the most stable?

I'm getting my OB fixed this coming monday and it's been a while since the last time I checked on the latest updates. I was just wondering, which JB rom is the most stable right now? Is it Mackay? or maybe even the CM nightlies?
Also, I was reading there's a workaround for the camera so it doesn't freeze that much (on CM). What's with that?
Thanks!

I've been using CM10 for a while and I'll admit it is not with out its faults but the mods I've installed make life a lot better. Once in a blue I'll get a buch of crashes all at once and then everything is great for a week or two.
