I have a LG optimus 2x (rooted)...I changed alot of rom's and things before..but it is a long time ago,and now I got a new LG optimus 2x for fun ,and I want to change the ROM and play with stuff like that.
so I'm just wondering.. Can I go from stock rom to cm10 without having cm7 first? I saw a thread about that you cant change from stock rom over to cm10 ,without having cm7 installed first?...
And is it the same way to install as before? like , root your phone,install clockwork recovery ,then reboot in recovery,wipe everything,and install cm10 from there ,and then everything works?
should I go for cm10 or cm7 ? which one is the best?
Sorry for my english.

It's the same classic way of installing roms as you say, but CM10 roms aren't perfect for the moment and a lot of people are having call audio problems (no sound!) so either try CM7 with less bugs and everything working, or try the official v28e/g leaked ICS version roms (with less bugs than CM10, but a little slower).
If you try the official ICS rom you'll have to try the nvflash method (very good tutorial in dev section) which will change phone partitions. I reckon that more CM10 roms will be developed soon though, it's really your choice.

Hi everyone.
I still Have Nova ROM v8.
But i've been paying attention to the ROM Thread, and i see that 2 main ROMS stand out, Zeus and Marvel.
I wanted to know which one of this is the more stable and better one.
Comparing Nova to Zeus , and Nova to Marvel , which one of them got better battery life?
regarding performance which one of those 3 is better?
Best regards,
bullseye
Install zeus v3n.

The problem i have is i need to upgrade to 2.3 now my phone checks as a V10D does this mean i can't install the V20x ROM's due to them not being compatible?
Ideally i wanted to keep with my stock ROM and just update but i installed CWM so i can't do that and looks like i'll need to flash to a non-carrier ROM which i have heard causes issues due to people removing all the stock apps from LG etc.
So can i even install the V20x's or are those a no go and how long before we get a nice clean near stock ROM with root because i'm really not a fan of the ICS look

1) i might be wrong, but i dont think it would be a problem if youre flashing up from v10(froyo) to v20(gb)
2) problems arising from custom roms are not directly caused form removing stock lg apps, usually it arises from the extensive tweaking and modifications the dev applies to make the rom better
3) if you want just a rooted stock v20 you could probably ask the devs nicely or sth since they based their own roms from the stock v20 (well most times) or you could prob try asking Nooby for his nandroid
4) if you want to install a custom rom but dont like the ics look there are a few options actually,
- Redy's Repack of the Official v20n
- Zeus's stock ui is pretty close to stock gb (sans the blue themed icons)
- There is also Achyut's Prada Themed Rom
cm7 4ever
update-cm-7-20120303-NIGHTLY-p970-signed.zip
cm7 last update
i think that it is perfect
i couldn't find a bug
performance is enough

There are still a lot of bug my friend WIFI adress doesnt show up, battery drain is faar to high, laags sometimes, freezes sometimes,... You will still notice this. So a stock ROM will at least until now be the better choice, although I also use CM, cause I like the look

I ended up going with the repack v20n in the end and it seems to work fine, just have to settle in and remember all the stuff i had installed
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 ^^
I am new to this forum,so first let me introduce myself.I am a doctor in india.
I bought this phone last year and like most users i was really disappointed with it. Intially it was froyo and then with extreme difficulty I updated to lg stock Gingerbread using its update too.I think the tool itself was buggy like most lg stock ROMs.
Anyway updating to gingerbread was a bad experiance .Too much lag in doing even basic phone use ,forget a smart phone experiance.Anyway not explaining in detail all the problems ,we all know it.
Was waiting for Official ICS release,so never thought of Unofficial ROMS since wud have made it difficult to update to stock ICS by company.
But last weak finally decided to try CM based ROMS and after some research decided to try Temasek CM7 based unofficial ROM build 132,
I must say what an experiance I had.From awesome to wow ,i am short of words to describe it .
So here i must thank everyone involved with XDA and especially cynogenmod and Temasek in perticular.
Thank you Temasek
Thank you XDA
Thank you cynogenmod
You all have made this ****ty phone into a delight to use .
I have installed " n " no of applications and still there is no lag and there is no shortage of RAM(and LAG due to IT) even after i week of using it ,which i used to have with stock gingerbread.
I must say i had been a noob and XDA and all you developers have made me into a mobile phone expert rooter ,flasher, etc.
I had few issues which i wud like to discuss,thanks in advance to anyone who helps me solve these.
I had flashed temasek CM7 build 132.and I had thought it wud also flash latest temasek kernel but it seems it didn't.
It now has kernal version [email protected] # 1
Mod version CM7-20120809
I basically want
1.A kernel with voodoo sound support
2.Ramhack
3.Good battery performance with 3G on.
4.Camera mod if possible.
Temesek could you give a small tutorial on variour kernels made by you,I looked various log changes made by you on p990 kernels but i am very confused.
Also what is difference b/w OC and uv etc
I have spent two days installing various applications on your ROM, so obviously will not like to do factory reset,data reset ,cache reset etc
before flashing any new kernel made by you.Kindly provide some suggestions on what i shud do.
Symbiosis kernel looks promising too but again don't want to wipe anything basically reinstalling all applications all over again.Any suggestions.
And yes I am sure you people in XDA wud soon release a fully functional ICS and even a jellybean based ROMS.So Now with my experiance i can say dont eeven want a LG stock ICS or jellybean even if they release it,untill then I wud stick to this wonderfull ROM by temasek
Thanks everyone and all the best to developers in their efforts on developing a fully functional ICS /jellybean based ROM.Hope to see it soon.
Hi if you already have temasek ROM installed on your phone you can flash latest symbi0sis kernel 1.1.2 without loosing any data! just flash the kernel via cwm and boot the phone - done
also symbi0sis is based on temasek kernel, works perfectly with temaseks ROM
after kernel install u can open the app GuesteOC and enable the ramhack with your preferred size in MB

Thanks for quick reply stefan.
So does that mean i dont need to do data/factory reset or cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel or any other kernal .I have tons of app's installed ,don't you there can be bugs if i dont do a factory/cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel.Its written in most threads that kernel flashing is similar to ROM flashing ,so data/ cache rest is advisable.
Where can i find GuesteOC app or can i use terminal emulator method as described in some threads

Np just flash the kernel without any wipes. it will wipe dalvik cache automatically. i guarantee you it won`t break your apps.
GuesteOC is included and will be installed automatically. no need for command line, everything as simple as possible with symbi0sis kernel!
if you try other kernels you might need to wipe dalvik cache first if they dont do automatically!
also u can do a backup in cwm first so if something goes wrong you restore the backup with all your apps.
Thanks stefan i will apply your Kernel today itself.Hope it solves everything ,Voodoo sound support ( i have the app with me) ramhack and good battery life too.Will post back if i face any issue.and offcourse my compliments
Also another question to you .You have said CWM backup/Restore .I did the same 3 days back before installing temasek ROM.But had forgotten to keep backup of some important SMS messages so tried to restore original stock LG ROM through CWM back up/and restore.
I Had a real shock it said that i had restored everything but my LG started rebooting again and again just stops at LG logo everytime.Even recoery was not accessible.So i had a torrid time going through variuos XDA thread .NVflashed stock froyo ROM and then flashed temasek ROM.
The only thing i missed was that i pressed backup/and restore straight from CWM app instead of going through manual recovery doing data/cache wipe and then restoring from Backup image.
Can you through some light on the serious issue that i had

Maybe it had to do with different file system (ext3 stock / ext4 temasek) -- afaik you need to flash back2ext3 or something when you want to go back to original stock ROM. However I have never done that (going back to orig stock). Next time best use "SMS Backup & Restore" (available in market) for backing up and restoring SMS after ROM change!
Good luck with the new kernel I'm sure everything will be fine.

Do restores this way
1>wipe data/factory reset
2>wipe cache partition
3>flash back2ext3
4>restore
Upgrade your cwm recovery to 5.0.2.0 or 5.0.2.8 (non-touch cwm)

Thanks everyone all issues solved ,and i knw now whuy i bricked my phone while restoring back.
Stefen your kernel is awesome.Perfect combination for temasek's ROM
I think i will stick to this ROM for a while,untill temasek or someone comes out with a fully functional ICS/jellybean based ROM.Will never flash stock LG ICS's based ROM even if LG bring it out(Hope LG release it soon that shud provide d missing drivers that we urgently need).
Temasek your ROM is d "project butter" for me.I dont feel d need to wait for jellybean ROM.And yes i already have cwm 5.0.20 version recovery installed.
Hello
I've spent the last 24 hours browsing the O2x section of XDA, and decided that I might change the ROM and/or kernel. I'm considering either Paranoid Android or DjangoManouche ROMs with the KingOfBirds Kernel (If i go with DM) or Kowalski Kernel. However, I have some questions that I just can't find the yes/no answer for. Would anyone be able to answer these for me?..
1. I am running Stock Rooted ICS V30A with CWM v6.0.1.5, busybox and adb installed, which I assume I achieved through steps 3 and 8 on the AIO toolkit because I didn't do anything else.
Does this translate to "I am on the new partition layout with EXT4, have cwm recovery and can proceed to install kernels and ROMS for the new partition layout"?
2. I generally use my p990 for gaming, movies and internet yet still using it as a phone at school. None of the kernels (Kowalski's or KingOfBirds) I am looking at using state whether or not they have Tegra H/W acceleration support, which I do not want to loose. Do the above/all kernels for the p990 support H/W acceleration? :fingers-crossed:
3. Do the kernels and ROMs above still allow me to edit vold.fstab and have a 32gb internal memory from my sd card?
4. I see a lot of people saying CM10 is the best, but a lot of posts with questions and fixes for bugs with it. Any users of this one able to tell me if it is stable and would be suitable for me (see question 2)?
And if you are using DM or Paranoid Android, what are they like for someone who wants a nice fast stable O2X?
5. Will backing my apps up with Titanium and zipping my internal storage be enough to save my game data? $9m on Hill Climb Racing I don't want to loose.
6. When I am changing, should I format my phone in cwm, and then flash the kernel after ROM? (eg DM -> KingOfBirds)
hi there! i'll try to answer some of your questions:
1) you are on the new bootloader and should flash rom's for this particular setting(this doesn't necessarily mean you can't go back to the old bootloader-search for unbrick tutorial in development section)
2) from what i know they do(someone correct me if i'm wrong)
3)i don't know
4)i can assure you that official cm10 is an excellent rom and you should try it ) (i for one never had any major problems(bug call,bsod) and will return to it after some testing )
5) i think it will do just fine
6)every custom rom has some guiding points in the first post(and second and maybe third ) ) please do follow them and you will have no trouble.
good luck!

Thanks a million vader I'm going to give CM10 a shot on that note, but like you said if someone can confirm for sure if the H/W acceleration works that would be great too.
I don't think that h/w acceleration is something that lacks in the post-cm9 roms. After lg released both official ics, sources and our cm device maintainer aremcee(ricardo) got hold of them all stock roms and cm variants have hwa. I can confirm that tonyp, in his ParanoidAndroid has the option to assign which app to use hwa

Cool ok, Thanks again Just one last question - should I install kernels before/after zip if not specified by creator?I think I'm going to try pengus77's kernel and CM10 build for the new bootloader.
Flash the kernel after you're done with the rom. Cheers!

That was the last question hopefully Backing up my phone atm (done cwm, titanium and AIO backups, i should be covered ) and then I'm going to shoot this rom and kernel at it. I'll post back how it goes.
Guys,
Since ive got my HTC Desire ive been changing roms etc.. but only the CM based roms.
Did it all by just reading, and complete failure ( sometimes )
I also did this on my Gnote and its running perfectly.
Running CM9 on 4.0.4 with CM based kernel.
But its a time to change, im getting pretty bored with it.
Ive seen nice features on the ParanoiAndroid Rom and would like to install it.
Readed alot of threads but cant figure out what the best way is to do it.
Can someone help me so that i wont mess my phone
CM9 has a safe kernel. so you could just follow the instruction in the OP.. just the usual wipes and install rom and gapps
