Starting point for my P990

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 ^^

[Q] Best ICS ROM so far

Hi,
i'd like to know what is the best ICS Rom so far for LG O2x...
Last time i installed O2x ROM from NOVA kernel but still having some issues with:
1. Receptions / Signals (Specifically 3G/HSDPA)
2. Still get forced closed on some of the apps..
I am thinking about changing the kernel as well, but not too sure which kernel to use and how to install it (Presumably just download the *.zip and flash it through recovery).
Any suggestion?
p.s Since i am new here, i am unable to reply/post thread on development forum

i'm running novahd and no force closes so far. signal strength is ok even in bad signal areas. everything runs pretty much stable, except noticeable lag in comparison to cm7 or gingerbread whatsoever.
i'm keeping an eye on eaglesblood as it's not cm based (pure aosp) and looks like V20 basebands & rils are working, but didn't tried it yet.
yes, kernel installation goes thru cwm recovery. just choose install zip from sdcard and run it. jarvis kernel seems less stable than novahd kernel; didn't tried harsh and hp kernels yet but will in next few days.

Also running nova HD for me it works very good! Since v1.1 no random shutdowns anymore with nova kernel. Best battery runtime since ever!

I'm trying out the eaglesblood rom and so far i'm finding it good, better reception than I was getting on CM7 and it seems like fewer bugs too. Really enjoying having ICS on my phone at last though

I'm on tamasek's CM7 and I+m loving it, its very stable and quick, no problems whatsoever.
I never tried one of the ICS roms because TBH I never found ICS that appealing, never thought it was anything special so I dont want to change from CM7 until CM9 gets as good as it can. JB, however, I cant wait to try.

IMO, the current best build
is the Hellfire sandwich port from the SU660
solely based on some of the software tweaks to add speed, its probably the most stable ICS rom you can find for our phone.
best to keep with a good all round stable fast rom like DjangoManouche
but if you like trying out new things work away. ^.^

The good thing about Android is that you can try every ROM whenever you want. It just takes a few minutes. Install those ROMs and see which one best fits on your device.
Remember that every ICS ROM (CM9 and unofficial releases) don't work perfectly. For instance, hardware acceleration does not work on those ROMs.
If you want a more stable ROM you can try the unofficial release from temasek here. It is based on CM 7.2.

Just give each n every one a try and see which one best suits you....never hurts does it?

You should test each rom, so you can find out which fits to your needs.. don't be afraid to test a new rom, just do an nandroid backup and everything will be fine

thanks for all the answers....i will now try out different roms
one last question: what about this rils and baseband if there any problems when i flash one of this roms?
regards Fr0z3n

never had problems with that, just flash the matching ril with get ril or lg ril version after you flashed the rom

Looking For Better UI and Apps ROM
I am searching for rom which has complete Look & Feel of Samsung Galaxy S3 & LG Optimus 4x HD.
It should be two different roms. Which has similar Launcher,User Interface, Stock Apps , Similar Calling Messaging features etc.
In short a complete Look & Feel of these type of hugely running phones. Till now all the ICS roms made by devs are based on Stock ICS Roms. It will be better to switch it to these types of modifications also.
Thank You

No I know that but its not complete look and feel i cant get stock apps of these phones through GO Launcher
I wanted a ROM like this which is used in Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129404 - This ROM has complete look and feel of Samsung Galaxy S2

I flashed NOVA HD, but after some days of regular usage it started lagging. Apps took too long to open.
Later I flashed Indroid Remics, the ROM settings on this ROM is very comprehensive and there are many tweaks included which can be customized. (sticking to it, till I find some thing better)

I like the NOVA HD and XXMrHyde, but stock browser and Dolphin HD crash a lot.
I am using Owain94 Domination 79, browser not crash.

Hellfire runs well. NoHW Acceleration, no HD Record, a no Go for me. Im back on Official cm7.
All runs how it should. On Nova, i had massive lags, especially by heavily multitasking.
Wait for Official ics. Then Ics Based Customs made Sense

[Q] Some doubts and problems

Well i bought this phone last week and i have to say that its very easy to handle and fast, but i didnt updated my firmware yet(im on 2.2.2) .
My doubt is if there are best stock fw available or is it better to wait for the ICS. :\
Other thing, lately im having some problems with receiving calls, like my friends tell me that they have called me but i didnt receive any call or notice
If anyone knows how to help me please reply, because i really like this phone and dont want to change it.
Thanks,

You're still on the software the phone had out of the box? This is why you are having these problems. If you wish a more hassle free experience updating go for the gingerbread update through the LG software. If you are prepared to do a LOT, I repeat a LOT of reading, flash a CM7 release and then a CM10 one. Then you will have Android 4.1.2

I think that the available LG update is, well, honest. I would use it waiting for CM10 to mature a bit, I would not waste time on CM7/9 stuff even if CM7 has some really good variations (as stock itself by the way)

I would recommend flashing the new ics leak v28g, I'm using it as a daily driver and it's just gorgeous. But you'll have to read into some threads though if you decide to.

Thanks for all your advise, i updated to stock fw 2.3.4 and i think my early problem is long gone
I was thinking on updating my terminal to official ICS from LG, do you think its a nice thing or its better to choose other things?

The thing is that there is no "official" ICS yet... What we have is the current development version, which has not yet been released. If you read the corresponding threads, you will see very mixed reviews from different people -- some are reporting bugs, and some are very happy with the way it works. For me personally, the V28g works perfectly, and I am currently using it as my daily ROM. You can give it a try, if you'd like.
However, if you prefer to stick with GB for now (until the ICS is officially released), there are some excellent stock-based varieties available here on XDA. You can choose between the latest versions from Flix123, Carburano (Django Manouche ROM), or Stefan Gundhor (Gueste "Goodbye" ROM), to name a few. All of them are very good and stable ROMs based on V20s, with a bunch of nice customizations and tweaks compared to the plain stock.

JB for our Optimus 2x

By any way is it possible that LG will upgrade it to JB, or is possible for xda developers to upgrade current stock ICS to JB?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

CM10.x is JB...

LG's junk isn't needed and therefore it isn't even worth asking/waiting for. We finally got all we wanted from them, now enjoy CM10.

I think the best way for us is using CM10 ROM, such as in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231

Just a tip. When you're upgrading to CM10 you should have installed CM7 at some earlier point. Easy fix for the SD card bug. Took me half a day to find this out.

Plus use new ICS bootloader, it fix slow charge and minimize call bug

Well if we didn't have "LG's junk" RC wouldn't have been able to build CM10 as it is now

All you need to build a perfectly good JB ROM without any JB update are device-specific ICS source code and an unlocked bootloader. JB and ICS are still very much the same under the hood, much like the case with Froyo and GB. Back in those days you could also build GB ROMs out of Froyo sources I believe (the O2X got CM7 quite some time before its official GB update arrived).
CM10 is as good as JB can get on our device. I believe the only JB-specific feature we don't have is true vsync, aka no Project Butter, but that's not a deal breaker as it's hardly noticeable.
If you look at recent news, no OEM wants to bring JB to a 512 MB RAM device because their stupid skins like Sense/Touchwiz/LG UI eat up so much memory that allocating more for vsync would make performance atrocious. The only exception is the Nexus S simply because it doesn't have that bloat to deal with.

My problem is with CM10 I can not have 3G calls, FM radio, Polaris office etc.

I believe we will get a stable cm10 later.
better than any stock rom

[Q] 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2

What are the pros and cons of using 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2? I've been a JB (4.1.2) user for a while and I like how it flows, will I run into any kind of major bugs going to the newer versions? I've read about bluetooth headset issues but I don't even own one so no problem there XD some users also say 4.2.1 is actually faster, is that true?
Which ROM do you guys use for a daily driver? (I have my SGS for like 2 weeks and already flashed it like 20 times lol)

I've been using hellybean and I find it is faster and amazingly more stable but it could just be how I use it

Sorry bro, only saw 4.1.2-based ROMs yet

personally i like 4.2 more, because there's less problem with these roms for me. on 4.1 android system always kept the phone awake but when i switched to 4.2 this annoying problem disappeared. also my battery life is better and the speed too. so i highly recommend you to try one or two new roms

Flashed both CM10 and CM10.1. The 4.2.1. was much more laggy and had much more bugs than 4.1.2 did, so I flashed to CM10 stable and it runs like a charm.
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.

That is because cm10.1 is nightlys ROMs like hellybean and slim bean are much faster and more stable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

I personally use X-Bean 3.0, stable, fast. I'm now stuck at Semaphore 2.6.2s since newer versions do not support WiFi direct.
I'm eager to try a possibly better rom, trying to decide on anything 4.2 based.

4.2.1 is much faster than 4.1.2
in my opinion the Ram management is also much better
for daily use i'm running on HellyBean 4.2.1 by DerTeufel
for me its the stablest, fastest and smoothest Rom for SGS

i use 4.2.1. fishears nightlys. after i found out that he uses the original parition layout and my hardware is given, its the only right choice for me. i was on slim bean before but after 2-3months of use it became veeeery laggy and random reboots.... slim bean is a very good rom but after some usage it caused a lot of problems. i hope fishears wont do the same after a couple of time

I can never settle for a ROM...been like this since I got my SGT7 which was flashed like everyday, lasted on stock for the first week. I'm a flashaholic XD anyway, I've since posting this tried Helly Bean (4.2.1) and was amazed by how smooth it went and flawless then I screwed it up by flashing some random stuff and getting a bootloop, as usual. Then I tried Helly Bean (4.1.2) and was sad to see it was actually slower than the 4.2 version so right I'm on MIUIv4 from miui.us and I'm not sure about it really. Will give feedback whenever but I believe I'll just end up going back to 4.2.1 for the awesomeness of it.

4.1.2 has stopped Development already because of the latest release of Android 4.2 version.
So if a user is satisfied with a stagnant Rom, this is a better choice.
A user can just pick a most stable 4.1.2 Rom and flash it, but expect no more Development on this one.
The beauty of 4.2.1 is its continuous Development. New features are added and new tweaks are introduced everytime.
I'm using 4.2.1 C-Rom Mix v4 and I'm surprised by its fastness and stability.
I really didn't expect an almost perfect 4.2.1 Rom at this early stage of its Development.

AW: [Q] 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2
But according Android Version history the changes in 4.2.1 are not significant nor performant. So no urge really to upgrade in my opinion.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

If I remember right, 4.2 introduced the possibility to key in your PIN in landscape orientation. This comes handy if got a desk- or cardock (or both )

Does android 4.1.2 support GL to SD? 4.2.1 doesn't so I'm thinking of downgrading but I need to confirm
