What version of CWM did you use to flash 7.0.3, cuz I heard some people had issues flashing nightlys with older versions of CWM. I currently have a 3.0.0.5, I think, bootable CWM SD card and am wondering if I should update it before trying to flash 7.0.3
On a side note I have always kept CWM on an SD card versus on the emmc. Is it better to keep it that way or should I flash CWM to my emmc?
Thanks for any info.

You shoul update your recovery. If you don't have problems yet, you will!!! I was on CWM 3.0.1 and could not flash any of the recent nightlies. Current version of CWM is 3.0.2.8
Thought so. Will update my CWM SD card to the latest before I move to 7.0.3.
Thanks
If I am just updating to a newer version of the same software my apps and what not will remain correct?

Sorry I missed part of your question. Here is my preference.....
I flash clockwork recovery to my EMMC, because it makes switching ROM'S much easier. I also keep and emergency 2GB SD card imaged with CWM and a stable version of CM7, gapps, & OC kernel......for those occasional emergency oh $hit situations.
Cool thanks for the suggestion. I haven't had any of those moments yet but its best to be prepared.
I think i didn't make my question clear. When i asked if my apps and what not will remain, i was talking about when i update my nook not CWM. Will all my apps and data be on my nook still after i update to 7.0.3 from 7.0.2?

If you go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 and only wipe cache & dalvik your apps will remain, but it's still not a bad idea to use an app like Titanium to back up your apps & data. Sometimes things just plain go wrong when enhancing our devices.

Thanks for all your help I now have my updated cwm SD card, flashed 7.0.3, and flashed the of kernel. Looks like I'm golden for now.
What is the exact process to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 on a CM7 SD installation with a stock 1.2 on eMMC?
I was notified of the update on my NC but when I try to install it, it will NEVER get into Recovery on its own. The only way it works is if I remove the SD card upon reboot, it then asks for a SD card, and then it says the file can't be found yet I can see it's right where it should be.
Is there a manual way to update it on my SD card via my computer to where I don't lose any apps and/or settings? Still quite new to this obviously...
Thanks!

FAQs
What is the best ROM available?
Really depends on your needs are priorities. Totally bug-free ROMs are Froyo ROMs, and leaked stock Gingerbread ROMs. CM7 based ROMs, including MIUI, still have a few bugs. Go to appropriate threads for more details.
Can I get LG Apps and Widgets on CM7 ROM?
No, you can't. LG apps and widgets require the LG framework, and so will not work on non-stock based ROMs.
What are kernels? Should I install custom kernels?
It is sort of a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done by the hardware. Custom kernels provide added features such as EXT4, Voodoo sound, and many more. You can install a kernel just like you install a ROM.

can lg 2x have 850 1900 band?
thinking about getting me one, is the lg 2x stock rom "broken" heard a lot of bad things about it. what are the common problems with the phone? is there a way to get pure google on it ?
Stock Apps
Hi,
Took my O2XS to CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1, but I'm wondering how I could get the (stock?) FM Radio, the HDMI output and the (stock?) camera app working again. I don't miss the radio all that much, but to have the LG camera app would be great, since it has nice features I haven't seen in other camera apps. HDMI output doesn't do anything at all at the moment.
And please tell me when I posted this in the wrong section.
Thanks, Ippe

The stock ROM had some problems, causing the device to reboot spontaneously. That bug is fixed with some update: v10c. But you could get root and fix the O2XS up with another ROM, say CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (Android version 2.3.4).
I have mine several months now and I'm very happy with it. A minus could be the battery emptying fast, but so do all other smartpowerphones.
What I like best, is the dual core processor (fast!) and HDMI. It's easy to plug the O2XS into any TV and watch videos.
But of course you have to decide for yourself. Hope this here helps making a decision.
In CM7, you cant use HDMI to tv?

[Q] Custom partiation table?
Is it not possible through some way, to repartition the LG Optimus 2x so that all the InternalSD becomes internal storage on the phone. End result being a phone with ~8gigs internal storage and the proper linking of the External SD?
Or a repartition that simply resizes the InternalSD to ex 20 megs and moving the excess space to "Phone Storage". And then "bind" ExternalSD to /sdcard and thus getting the best of both worlds.
Hi,
I'm coming from a Desire Z but i'm not new to the android world.
i'll try to list here all the doubt i've with the O2X, I apologise in advance for the big number of question but I'll appreciate very much if you take your time and answer at all the question, so i'll not bother you anymore
1) Is there a rom based on v10c with all the necessary fix i've read in the sticked post?(perfomance, camera, etc...) In many roms they are not listed :/
2) After I've rooted, I'm able to unroot with the same tool? Or I've to make a backup of some internal partition?
3) What's the ext3 / ext4 problem I read in some rom thread? Maybe some roms use an ext4 system partition and the stock roms ext3 system partition?to change the partition File System, is necessary a specific recovery or tool?
4) How does it work the corelation baseband/rom? Every rom works with any kind of baseband, or it is necessary flash a specific baseband for a specific rom as i've read in some post?
5) If I doesn't have an external SD, there is some problem with the recovery? And if I insert next? it doesn't change the mount point of the internal SD right?
6) Why modaco doens't specify in what type of original rom version are based his roms?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

Guys i need some help on creating my own rom..
I tried adb pulling entire /system and flashing that (ofcourse with scripts for cwm) but i failed to boot it.
Any suggestions for me ?
Have you tried the kitchen? It's designed for that... try searching for it.
Hey Rusty,
ive made a kitchen rom here http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
after that i replaced the apps in /system/app with mine, then zipped again but it wouldnt boot ?
Bleh, v10B is proper out of date anyway.
now i'm having a big problem after trying to flash other rom of cm7 without wiping
my phone can't do hard reset at all....... is there anyway to put it alive????
Boot into recovery and wipe.
Hi there
I finally got ahold of a Nook Color. It came with stock 1.2
Now I need to flash CWM and then start venturing with ROMs. I am a little confused reading through all the threads, keep reading about emmc flashing, SD card flashing etc and it started to get overflowingly confusing.
So, a headstart would be super, thank you
PS. Already in love with this cute little devil.

Ok, so you want to try custom ROMs? Do you want to install it on the Nook or run the ROM on the SD first to try out?
Flashing to eMMC will erase your current ROM, say your 1.2 stock on the NC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
Flashing to SD means you are not touching your NC's system and will boot via the SD card and run the ROM from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I would want to run ROMs from the internal memory.
Thank you Shutter

You're welcome (there's always a Thanks button ) .
That means you will be flashing to the eMMC. Make sure to check if your NC has the new partitioning. You'll have some extra steps to re-partition before flashing so you can make full use of the built in sd space for media.
Follow this thread word for word and you will be golden!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
You really don't need to worry about the whole blue dot thing. If you repartition you will get more internal storage, but it is not necessary.

its rooted and have latest CMW on it.
now the question!
this is my primary phone that im using every day to wake up to navigate with gps to go to internet on wifi and 3g. camera everething!
so what rom i can put on it without changing baseband and so on. is there rom that can put on sd card and flash it?
You can flash CyanogenMod 7 ROMs or Official stock Gingerbread based ROMs, whatever you want. Baseband works with every ROM.
Concerning the procedure, you should rather read several howto in Dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
To root if not done, you can use Superoneclick as you are on Froyo.

i can just put it on sdcard and install it from CWM?
Yes like any other ROM... I think you mean ROM that won't replace your Baseband? Every ROM that is not clearly intended to be flashed with nvflash or smartflash will do it: Thanatos, Topogigi, Djdroid, CM7, and so on are all in CWM format.
wanted to install the rom. but before wanted to make a back up of my system! now when im doing backup from CWM its backing it up to the internal memory! not to the sdcard! is it normal?
from where you flash the CWM?? from rom manager or from rusty?
i flash the CWM from rusty and choose for external sd-card. every time i backup my system it always backup to external SD card
I'm doing power button +volume down. then selekting back up to external sdcard. but it saves it to internal
just did one more time backup. its processing and generating everething but when it comes to back up to sd_ext it shows no sd_ext found skiping the process.
the card is instaled and have about 7GB free spase, the CWM sees it as i instaled camera mod from there before.

I think I will give up after this answer. Don't bother about sd-ext it isn't used in O2X, and has nothing to do with sdcard.
Read again and again and again first post in Rusty! thread about his CWM version and you'll perhaps understand how to flash it to have external sdcard used....

As i understand from your earlier message, your device is already rooted. Why dont you try installing the ROM manager from the android market and then in the ROM manager settings you can choose to backup in the Ext SD card or the internal one.
goto settings-use external storage-click and then power down your device. Start with CWM-Power + Vol down key...now you have the backup stored in Ext SD card.
Hope this answers your question...Thanks...

Try the Topo 2 SP3 ROM with HorsePower SR1 Kernel. It has some LG stuff though...but, it is very stable with all the goodies of GB 2.3.4. I used a few ROMs and settled on this cause of the stability and battery performance. There are a few themes for this ROM to customize.....although there are a few more ROMs in the dev section.
You have to flash and check ROMs if you have the time and information...if you want to have more information...maybe you can PM me. I can help you.
Thanks
My rule of thumb would be:
If you want stability, stick with stock. If you want bleeding edge, use an AOSP rom.

So I've gotten myself into a bit of a jam. I was on CM12.1 build 0411. I wanted to migrate to the latest 0425 build with f2fs support to see if some lag issues are gone, with Tangerine Kernel 1.3. I booted into Philz Touch (from XZDualRecovery), followed the instructions in the ROM Thread. I went to install the ROM but now it says it cannot mount /sdcard along with some other errors (I'll get pictures if needed).
So is my option only to go back to Stock ROM using FlashTool and .ftf?
Plus, I can't use adb sideload as it doesn't recognize the device in recovery.

Hello my friend, I think you are not allone. I was on CM11 Rom (LBL) for over year - two month ago I flashed CM12 for the first time. Now the troubles begin:
Because CM12 especially 5.0 over all is still a problem (wifi, calls etc.) even for their own Nexus series.
Anyway, I had a perfect backup of CM11 and I had perfect backup of the currently running CM12 Rom.
Because I need a stable running Rom for my bisiness, I switched always again back to my CM11 Rom.
But some day last week I flashed back to CM11 and was in a full bootloop. No chance to go back to Recovery or anything else.
Reason: I don´t know why, but there is something in the scripts of Kitkat or Lollipop, that damages SD cards, when you often switsch between the two systems. The sd card was dead, only readable, but not writeable again!!!
So ith the latest backup I made in the sd card, not all data have been written on it (not a complete backup) and when i tried to restore the system, with CWM, onla parts of the recovery have been readable. Hehe, bootloop. **** happens
My tip: Save your time with experiments - install your phone from beginning with .ftf file. I did it too

Alright! And it's interesting you mention that SD Cards dying because of this. My 64GB SDXC Class10 microSD mysteriously died on me with the same symptoms. I was switching between LiquidSmooth and ParanoidAndroid while the latter has no internal memory.
Thanks, will do a .ftf flash

Hi mate, btw. I had to buy a new sd card too. I personally think that it´s a bug since kitkat, because from this version on google only has allowed to write apps to ext. sd, which where verified by google! It´s a well known problem.
So I use this ROm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
There are more excellent Roms from excellent developers. I must say I never tried another one, because this Rom for me always worked perfect - since CM10 build by bagyusz. No need to try another one :fingers-crossed:
