Hello Everybody
I got an offer for LG Optimus in ebay for a good price.
The offer was well worth when comparing to it's specification.
But, i was searching about the mobile phone in internet to find out any major problems.
And i came across following issues.
Would lose network connectivity frequently for no apparent reasons
constant "Force Closure" messages.
Unstable Gingerbread update process.
On-screen keyboard frozen up occasionally
I heard that if we use LG Updater software, then there is no issues in upgrading to Gingerbread.
And i heard that Gingerbread update completely fixes the phone lockup and reboot problems, is it true ?
There is no GB update out yet....
Most of problems on this device are baseband related, and after 3 baseband update, its still not that good...

It's safe if you're willing to mould it into what you want.
If you want to use it as LG provide it, it's not so good.
Root. And flash a stable rom. Then its verry safe.
The downside is that when u drop it, the screen cracks really fast. The + side is that it is not that difficult to replace the gorilla glass by yourself. There is a nice vid of it on youtube.

Android Gingerbread update has been released for T-Mobile G2X http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gingerbread-update-for-the-T-Mobile-G2x-goes-live_id20543
Isn't T-Mobile G2X and LG Optimus 2X same ?
They're the same in North America, but not the rest of the world.
So, if i buy LG P999, Then is that T-Mobile version?
If so, if i install Gingerbread firmware in T-Mobile version of LG Optimus 2X, then would the major problems be rectified?
P999 is the T-Mobile G2X or the Wind Optimus 2X, the update should indeed help with some things, check out the G2X forum for info.
Had the Optimus 2x by one month and i tell you that i am very satisfied of him. I have a stock room with all the latest updates and i don't have problems of reset or keyboard. IF you don't use it much you can get more then 2 days of battery.
In Europe the T-mobile G2x is not the same with the lg optimus 2x. You probably broke your phone if you update it with the firmware of G2x

im now running FR19 fearkill edition 12.4 with the neoblaze OC kernel.. (smooth as butter)
the DJ droid seems to be a stable rom aswell
(the good thing about this phone is that there are plenty of roms to choose from,
i recommend the fearkill roms. eventually i always got back to them. (never hade anny trouble with them)
Does these Roms preserve LG customizations?
fearkill deleted a couple of them but u can add them. there is a link in his topic where u can download all the lg software and add them to the rom
Golden question - did GB on the G2X fix most issues?

Go ask in the G2X forum?
I think its a good choice, even on stock rom i had no problems butnon CM and Miui i did abit of baseband swapping to find the bestbin for them and everything is fine upgrading basebands has given me better signal..ect

For me O2x is a lol choice.

Baseband issues :
- calls quality are really bad (for me)
- lags appears when you install apps : the device becomes totally unusable (im wondering if there is a rom that fix this issue)
- wifi error durring connection establisment/ hspa drops connectivity with NO reason.
- Audio playback may lag quite randomly (probably due to stock rom)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
The app install lag is gone in CM, and possibly MoDaCo ROMs.
Hello,i ran into this problem,i was using CM almost the entire time i had lg optimus 2x,but now after #170 update or so i noticed that camera really drops to about 10 fps when not in day light. Any1 experiencing this problem? I would like to know which ROM has the best camera support?
Thank you
Had same issue ... same on miui from 10.14 and up ... good framerate is only on stock mods and cm #160 and down and miui 10.8 ...
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
This is due to compensation. You trade in FPS for a better image.
The libcamera.so is responsible and has been changed on the 5th Octobre.
See here: https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge/commits/gingerbread?path%5B%5D=p990&path%5B%5D=proprietary&path%5B%5D=lib&path%5B%5D=libcamera.so
I think you can just replace it. Just download the old one from the link above.
Though this might introduce other problems like not working skype.
Mate , how to replace that ?

In my opinion the most stable camera is in the topogigi rom

Yes paranoid android is the best ics rom available for the optimus 2x, been using it for over a month now.
its smooth and works like a charm. Do try it out
Give a try to Paranoid.
I've installed two weeks ago and seems to be stable.

Is there any website compare those two ROM for P990?
PARANOIDANDROID vs NOVA HD
i did install Nova HD. but seems should give a try to PDroid?
I had a few problems on paranoid with ui 3.0,i suggest Nova hd.

Do a proper backup and try!
I cant tell you what YOU want
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arcee: the star, the galaxy R, and the grand X are completely different devices. different components, different resolutions, different radios, different audio amps,different panel manufacturers, different almost everything. The designs have nothing in common other than being T2
tonyp: so it's either LG or nothing?
arcee: yes
I put Paranoid Android in my LG P990 last night. so far so good, seems smooth and fast than Nova HD. will give more days to try.
I have another question: my phone is locked. is that a way unlock my phone after flash it with other ROM? because now I can not get any info by dialing 2945#*990#.
Thanks in advance

If that doesn't work you could always try calling your provider and simply asking them to unlock it for you
Hope it helps

I think its possible, because our Optimus 2x meet the system requirement to run Android 4.4.
And hope LG could release official update as they says about limitation of upgrading to Jellybean on Optimus 2x

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait, you're serious? Man, listen to me. We will never have anything more from LG, okay? Our 2x is like a children dropped in an orphanage, done and forgotten
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
It's hard. Kitkat is meant to work in low memory devices, like ours, but this doesn't mean it is meant to work on old devices! There will be in the next years new devices with low memory and with kitkat. (mainly in developing countries) Our only hope is that the penguins do their magic.. Wait and see..

If you wanna ask this, why don't you do it on Q&A section?
Enviado de meu LG-P990 usando o Tapatalk 2
Well if you read in dev section you could find an post in slimbean thread...
DJNoXD work on KitKat (4.4) so please be patient, i am sure soon we get KitKat
(which hopefully tast good for our phone )
I think also if tony find some free time he will work on it, too.
Our masters could make it to boot but it would be very hard to make all the things work(atleast some of them) but as it can take a very long time I don't think they want to work on it. It would be awesone if the devs unite in a team and help eachother to bring kitkat for our beloved mobile but lets hope this will happend!

you are right, its hard to make, but they can make first version for users which is using just basic staff (like wifi, camera, music, messages..) to see how it works, will it have problems and so on
Android 4.4 kitkat
Now it is reality:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:. For info look at the Slimrom Work!:highfive:
Yup, and if the devs will make the important bugs dissapear that means that my p990 will stay in my hands for another year This great comunity make me love this smartphone even more when I see it can run another version release from Android the devs make us like our phone even more unlike stupid LG that forgot about us a long time ago...

with my expierence all builds goes kinda 6 month till trully stable versin, allways is some little things what keep carsh phone, like it was from 2.3 to Android 4.0, and to 4.2.
exsample, when take photo camera crash, under 15% battery phone turn off, strange unwanted random restarts etc.....
Is possible, because Android 4.4 consumes a little resources and was tested in a Motorola Defy, and runs great the beta version of CM10.3! (with bug obviously)
4.4 is Exciting.hehe
Heh heh.
KitKat will be useless because our phone doesn't support NEON and we don't have much RAM. So most of the features in Kitkat will not function properly on our phone. It's just my thought
kit kat in 512 Ram . i doubt it
No one is start asking about KitKat update yet, which will bring many improvements to Lg G Flex. According to web sources these include faster performance and reduced memory usage, and features such as white status bar icons (G Flex already have this) , wireless printing, inbuilt NFC payment and IR blaster support, a full-screen “immersive” mode for apps.
What other features would you like to see in LG G Flex?

720p is not too bad on this device. The 720p HD display looks impressively sharp, and very bright too.

I was wondering the same thing, sure would like to see some KK love. I was surprised LG would release a brand new phone with 4.2, but then again it could have been an issue with the ISP's not being on the same page or the like. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.
A side question, I am coming from google nexus's, and not use to update delays. How is T-mo on issuing updates to their devices? Are we likely to see a modded KK rom months and months before ISP roll it out?
