Lg Optimus 2x

Hi.
I'm new to android. I have an Lg optimus 2x P990 stock rom and i want to upgrade to jelly bean. Can you recommend me a stable one? And if it's not to much can u link a tutorial, that i could follow to upgrade ( Where is shown step by step what should i do )
Thank You!

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751 and may use search function
An ROM recomendation is really hard, but on my opinion this one s at moment most stable and closest to be bugfree

Hi!
You can use any rom with your phone. It does not matter if your phone locked to orange or any other carrier.

ok, but that rom isn't a T-Mobile rom? so it will find signal on orange?

Even if you flash vodafone branded stock rom to your optimus 2x you can still connect to orange. Roms has nothing to do with that your phone locked to what carrier.
If you flash cm10 rom you will find signal on orange
If you flash t-mobile branded stock rom you find signal on orange
If you flash vodafone branded stock rom you will find signal on orange
If you flash unbranded stock rom you will find singal on orange
If you flash chinese miui rom you will still find signal on orange
If you flash any other rom you will find signal on orange
I hope you understand now
If you change rom it does not lock your phone to an other carrier
So last words: It will find signal on orange

I upgraded my phone to cm10.1 by tonyp. Everything works fine, but i dont get notification sounds when i get a message.
The phone doesn't vibrate, and doesn't even light up.
What should i do now?

Hi
I'm using CM10 but I assume it's the same in CM10.1 . In the messaging app itself there is a notification setting you need to turn on. It might be that.

Using GSM on Paranoid Android

Hello all,
As always, apologies in advanced if the solution ends up being simple, or that I've obviously overlooked something.
I have a Sprint HTC One. I live in Europe so I have rooted my device and also performed a SIM Unlock.
I was successful and the phone recognized my 3 Network SIM and works fine.
I have tried several different ROMs recently (Cyanogenmod, Carbon, Viper and Paranoid Android) and in each of them I cannot get the phone to switch networks away from SPRINT.
I switch the Network mode to GSM/WCDMA and double check in the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*). Reboot, and still no luck.
Oddly, I sometimes receive messages to my phone, but I cannot send any and there are no APN settings whatsoever.
It is necessary to be on stock to perform the SIM Unlock, so does that mean it will not work when I flash new roms?
Is there a setting in Paranoid Android (for example) that I am overlooking?
Thanks.

Can't...No supported

Thanks for the reply.
Are there custom ROMs for m7spr that could support GSM? Or is it completely non existent?
I have tried stock for several months and would rather not go back.

One of the threads mentioned that you need to be on 1.29 to use sim unlock.
It works for me in Bangalore, India so should definitely work for you as well...you might have to downgrade...
I'm on Viper 1.1.0.

By 1.29 are you referring to the Stock version?
I have successfully SIM unlocked, but all the ROMs tried simply do not pick up a signal.
I will try Viper 1.1.0, perhaps I used a known incompatible version beforehand.
Thanks for your reply.

I am still having trouble connecting.
Can I ask what you did when setting up, did the ROM automatically connect you to your network?

Do you get the message "Switch to global mode" when you rebooted your phone? You have to select Yes to that for the network to be detected.

No I don't, but I can switch to that mode under mobile settings and it still does not pick up a signal!

I was able to use the ViperBoy ROM to stay on GSM with the advent of 4.3 official release I am wondering if the newer ROMS based the Sprint release will cater to GSM w/data cause its quite a bother not benefiting from the other perks

I'm using the "Stock with Goodies" ROM successfully on Vodafone in Spain. The OP is mentioning all AOSP rom's that don't work with a SIM card. Any sense based ROM will work(such as Viper). The only AOSP type ROM that I managed to pick up any signal on was the GE Nocturnal ROM after flashing this zip, https://mega.co.nz/#!dgdmFQbb!ZXw8Q18FwMU0Xn_t3_Prp2dcd9Fn01pdR5s3Ha-_TaI . This GSM patch was very alpha, it had numerous telephony.db force closes and disconnects frequently. The DEV for GEnocturnal said he would try to make the next 4.3 based GE rom internationally compatible so that's our best hope for using stock Android as of yet.

There's a guy using the CM 10.2 rom I built in the android dev forum. I don't know how it's working but it's working for him. He has voice and h+ Data just the signal bars don't show the correct signal.

[Q] Help needed with locked I8190N - Firmware problems (maybe)

Hello,
maybe someone can help me or at least talk to me:
I purchased a new, sealed and locked I8190N in Germany, from TCHIBO Mobil. They are subproviders in the network of O2, j4yi.
To use the phone with another provider, I purchased an net unlock code from Ebay. I received the codes (NCK and SPCK) after some days from the seller, which do not work for me. It says something like "problems while running unlock process". Unfortunately the seller is an imposter, as he does not give me refund even I was able to show the codes he sent me do not work. But this is another story. :silly:
My question would be: Is there a stock rom I can flash to my phone? I checked my phone, at the moment 4.2.1 is installed, with I8190NXXANA1 as baseband. The last hint could be unlocking it at a phone dealer shop in town, because I was told unlocking with cable is more likely to help if code does not work. But who knows... I'm used to flashing mobile phones, running CM on my Motorola Defy all the time. But with Samsung and the special NFC version I got, I do not know wether I can use CM I8190 (without N) for my phone. Or if I should unlock it at a dealer somewhere in my town before starting flashing anything.
Thanks a lot for help and reply! :good:

afaik, you dont need phone unlocked from service provider to flash custom rom, phone just needs to be rooted.then flash rom with custom recovery. stick to roms suitable for n, i have n version & run virginity rom, but try a few & see which you prefer, there is a lot of great talent here.be careful & enjoy.

Thanks. I only wonder if it is maybe not possible to unlock it afterwards any more (after I have flashed CM). I will go to local dealer, to see if they can unlock it.

i dont think it will be a problem, let us know how you get on

You said your Android version is 4.2.1 Do you mind sharing what's your devices' model number, 'cause GT-I8190 runs android 4.1.2 and GT-I8200 runs 4.2.2. I haven't seen anything like your firmware on the S3 Mini (official by Samsung, that is)

Do not know what you mean? But already solved problem with unlocking at a local dealer. Afterwards I installed CM and now everything is ok! :laugh:

I mean that no S3 Mini version is with Android 4.2.1. Do you mean to say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Glad you fixed your problem

Update to 4.4.2

Hi all,
I found that a lot of update for 4.4.2 is now available on Sammobile but I know that my country will never be listed in that list for any Samsung Mobile Model but I would like to know which one should I choose. My country is Mauritius.
My actual stock firmware since I bought the phone is:
Baseband Version: I9295XXUAMF7
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-957941
Build Number: JDQ39.I9295XXUAMF7
This is my stock firmware on 4.2.2 since I bought it.
Thanks in advance for any help

I don't think so i had the same suggestion in my mind ... Since I bought the phone from different country band use it in different country ... And flashed the kk update and nothing happened but my signal reception got better . I recommend a factory reset before flashing and all should be good .

[Q] Is CM12.1 worth it/safe? And whats the best way to install?

Hello from Australia, still on KitKat, the ISP's haven't even received Lollipop here and its not looking like we will get an update any time soon...
So i have been thinking about CM12.1.
From what it looks like, there are only nightlies available....
Is it worth getting on that?
Are they safe enough?
Are there any other methods of getting lollipop on my device as a daily driver?
How would i go about installing CM12.1 on the Xperia Z1?
Cheers,
Marcel

Why don't you flash an official lollipop firmware? (from another carrier or a generic one). CM12.1 still have some bugs...
Search in "General" or "Android development" for stock lollipop "ftf" or "pre-rooted firmware" it's easy and safe to install

wouldnt one from another carrier (have to be a different country as the only 2 in australia dont have anything) not work with networks here? i have read in lots of places all the builds that people offer for the Z1 have issues with network and the camera. would all features work??

Well, just check frequencies...
Here in Italy we can flash anything that is EURO-LTE... Just have a look for GLOBAL-LTE rom... I think it might actually work. If it doesn't, you aren't bricking nothing, just flash 4.4.4 ftf...
I also suggest you to use xperifirm to check and download the ftfs

Question is does Australia use LTE or 4G? Because I tried a LTE variant on my UK handset and it wouldn't work, I had to create my own pre-rooted rom to allow me to use 4G.

4G LTE is not the same thing? [emoji19]
