Just upgraded my phone and Droid still works, are there any ROMs developed that don't have the radio? I want to be able to use WiFi and Bluetooth, but I don't want it draining the battery looking for cell service that doesn't exist.
Or is there an app or something I can use to disable checking?
Thanks.
I've been using Airplane mode. Still able to use wifi. Bluetooth starts up, haven't tried pairing with anything yet, tho.
Running both Steel Droid and MIUI.

I would also be interested in anything else out there! Currently running Gingerbread 2.3.7 and would like to hand this thing down to the kid to play games on. Therefore, no cell radio (only WiFi), no BT, etc... I know Airplane mode would probably work OK, but, I'd prefer just to not load them to begin with.
Is there a stripped won ROM out there that would suffice? Hate to see this thing sit on a shelf once my Nexus comes in.
Thanks!
I did the same for my kids. The Droid lasted about 3 weeks before the touch screen failed.
I would not let a little kid touch my phone o.0
I recently got the lg optimus x2. It is running on 2.3.4.
Initially, the wifi connected but 3g was not recognised even though data roaming and access was enabled. However, now i cannot even connect to wifi. It keeps saying 'obtaining ip add' and then fails.
Going through various google searches I have messed around with the settings, set apn to default. Done factory reset. Disconnected, reconnected, changed sim cards, tried 2g, messed around with vpn, selected all network mode's but nothing seems to work. I have contemplated rooting the phone but doubt this will do anything?
This is extremely frustrating considering the "amazing" reviews the phone has one expects a simple tool such as wireless connection to work.
Would be grateful if anybody had any other ways to possibly resolve the issue?????
Thanks

I have heard that this phone only supports some Wi-Fi channels.
Try to change your Wi-Fi channel to 6, for example.

There are two things you could do ...
1. Return the LG 2X - if that's still possible
2. Switch to a Custom ROM
Installing the first official LG update to my phone was a major setback for me as a lot of things stopped working, that worked before. But switching to a Custom ROM made me a happy man.
Have you considered trying out e.g. DjangoManouche (2.3.x) it is based on the stock ROM but has massive improvements built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662
If you feel like you want the ICS experience there is NovaHD (based on CM9)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508492
The only glitch with CM9 is, that there are currently no drivers for the Tegra2 chipset released which results in lack of FullHD video recording, beside that the ROM works like a charm.
I am running NovaHD on my 2x now and not willing to go back to Gingerbread ;-)
If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know!
Cheers!

I cant download clockworld mode...so i tried to do it through the computer...and now the phone wont switch on
Hi,
that doesn't sound too good - did you follow any instructions installing clockworkmod?
I installed it using RomManager on the phone itself, worked like a charm.
Did you root your phone already?
I couldn't install it directly as i had no 3g/wifi (initial issue)...after i transferred the Nova Hd file into the SD, installed clockworld through PC and attempted a restart it wouldnt switch back on
Have you tried removing the battery and inserting it again? - Did you turn on the phone while pressing volume down (until the first LG logo disappears)?
This should then boot into clockwork recovery if you installed it correctly before.

done both, nothing works- phone is dead as a brick
This might be a dumb question, but has the battery still power? Have you tried with the power cord attached?
Is there nothing on the screen, no lights blinking? Brick dead?
Does this sound similar?

I've got an incredibly irritating WiFi issue that seems to be different from other complaints I've seen in this subforum. It's not that WiFi doesn't work, or that it disconnects randomly from my home router. It always turns on, and once I establish a connection it maintains it ad infinitum.
However, some amount of time after the WiFi is turned on and connected to a network, it becomes incapable of scanning for or connecting to other networks without reboot. I plan on using my tablet a lot during travel, so this is a major problem for me. Even if I've saved a network I regularly use, when this bug occurs, I cannot switch from my current network to that saved/known network. Specific example: say I'm connected to my home router, then I go get in the car and turn on my phone's hotspot. The HD+ will refuse to recognize the phone hotspot is even available, giving only the options to "Forget" or "Cancel" when I click it on the network list. All the while, WiFi is still on and working properly with the home connection.
Is this a known issue with the HD+, or is it possible/likely that I have a faulty sample? Has anyone found a workaround?
Your title says CM10 and CM11. Do you mean CM10 or CM10.2? I run CM10.1.3 stable and do not experience that issue.

Sorry, I meant to specify that but wasn't able to edit the OP after submitting. I've tried various nightlies of both CM10.2 and CM11. Have not tried CM10.1 since I just received the tablet last month.
Think Wifi scanning is a known problem with CM 10.2 on HD+. Just turn your wifi off then on to work around the problem.

For me, when the issue occurs, turning WiFi off and on does not help. The only solution is to reboot.
However, I scoured the Internet some more yesterday and found someone on another device who claimed disabling Google's auto-scanning for networks even while WiFi is turned off (apparently introduced in 4.3) solves this problem. I disabled that feature and so far have yet to have a problem scanning. I'll update the thread after a few more days with whether this solved the issue permanently.

I had the issue on CM 10.2, but not at all on CM11. CM 11 has worked fine for me.

I'm running unofficial cm10.2 and experiencing the same problem. I did not have the problem with cm11, but cm11's network performance was sporadic and generally sub-par.
My thanks to verygreen for his work on both cm10.2 and cm11.
I like the 1.5 MHz over clocking.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I doubt I'd have found that on my own. I tried the suggest fix, and thought it had worked, but just before checking the HD/HD+ forums this evening I took a look at wifi-manager, and then the Wi-Fi portion of settings and there were no other networks visible. It did seem as though it took longer for the problem to show up this time.
Thanks again.

I have a KFHD 7" (2012 model), it's rooted, the latest TWRP is installed and I'm currently running Kinology. From time to time it seems to be unnecessarily freezing and overheating (this used to happen for a long time now, but it doesn't seem to affect its performance from what I've seen) and I'm thinking of trying something new since it's already acting up.
I am currently using the latest Kinology, after I updated it to the latest version the freezing seemed to reduce visibly, but I still want to change the ROM. I was between PAC-MAN (http://forum.pac-rom.com/Thread-4-4-PAC-man-For-the-Kindle-Fire-HD-7) and CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543455).
I was going to go for PAC-MAN but I'm having some issues figuring out which the latest stable version is, since they say they have updated to 4.4 but in their downloads I can't find it in the folders with the stables. I've asked many times in their site and their thread about KFHD here in xda but I haven't received an answer yet. I could just go for CM but I have some questions about it...
So what I need the rom I'll choose to do is:
run the kindle reading app normally (I don't care about the carusel, I just want normal access to my mobi files
run games ok
not freeze for no reason (I mean, the main purpose of flashing something new is to make my tablet run faster not slower)
have the facebook messenger work properly (since I installed kinology, unless I have "chat heads" manually opened and left to run, I get no notifications about new messages)
have the wifi and bluetooth working
So I need people who have CM or PAC-MAN to tell me if either of these roms has these features. Oh, also, I've seen there's some feature they call "OTA". What is that? I think when I rooted my kindle I had to make sure to disable those so that it wouldn't get randomly updated and undo my root? If someone could explain that to me I'd be grateful!
Oh and one more thing. With custom roms such as those two, are amazon's apps installed and running in the background for no reason just like they do if you have the stock rom, or are they disabled/uninstalled...?
With custom roms there is no such thing as Amazon apps. I suggest CM because of its reputation and support. But PAC is not bad.
OTA is Over the Air upate. If you receive an OTA in a custom rom,there is no reason for you to lose root.

Ok, so if I want some of Amazon's apps all I have to do is download them from the appstore, right? (So relieved, I only ever used the reading app). So if it PAC has OTA, even if I install an older version (like 3.2 that I've found with certainty), it can install the latest on its own without me messing any more with the 2nd bootloader? I was hoping to try PAC before CM and to use CM only if PAC presents more issues than I can handle...

I seriously recommend CM. Even if you get any issues,the CM team will fix it MUCH faster than PAC. As for the Amazon Apps,I don't think all of them will be on the Play Store. But the Kindle reading app will.(I used it before)

Hmmm, then I might try CM11 today. It's true that in PAC they probably don't update too often, they don't even seem to check if people make questions or have issues too often. I've asked about which version to download a bunch of times in many different threads that they've made, and it's been 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for an answer.
One last thing. Do most games run alright in CM or are there compatibly issues? Oh, and something more. Does the playstore see the device as a kindle or as something else?

Yep. I enjoyed Riptide GP 2. And I don't know about the latest nightly,but Hashcode's last unofficial build had the build prop set to recognise the device as an Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
Thank you so much for asking all my annoying questions! I sat down last night and flashed CM, set up everything and so far it's running smoothly. I tried some of the games I used to play and they seem to be running alright as well. I'm having some issues with the kindle reading app though, I downloaded it and logged in but it says it can't sync now and to try again later. I will try again later and see if it gets fixed...
Short and sweet... I love and recomend CyanogenMod.I use it on my kindlefire 1, 2 and 3 and I hope to
have it on this 2nd gen HD I'm working on now. With CM the possibilities are endless and anyone can easily customize
the kindle into a lean mean tablet with ease.... Thank You CM Team!
I took the plunge last night after having many issues with my Kindle Fire HD 7 that had been rooted and had both Amazon OS and Android. It started acting crazy after the last OTA that I thought I had shut off. Anyway, I re-rooted it, installed twrp 2.7.0.0, and then flashed it with cm-11-20140414-UNOFFICIAL-tate. Everything went smoothly and seems to work great. It also seems much faster now. Once I got all my account stuff setup, I did an update that it showed as being a stable version. I am now running cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7. All my kindle books load up and I can read them on the device or cloud and was also able to find almost all of the games that I had before on my Kindle. It just seems so much nicer and faster now!

I decided to try out CM as well. Installed the latest stable version and it is indeed running much faster! I've never seen the keyboard not lag and the websites taking so little to load, so I'm satisfied so far. The Kindle app doesn't seem to be working for me though... I logged in my amazon account normally and every time I try to download books I don't even see a list, it says it failed to synch. I'll probably go over to the CM thread and as them about it...

I was able to download my books and sync initially, then when I went back I too was having sync issues. I downloaded Aptoide and it wanted to update some of my apps and the Kindle reader was one of them. After the update, it seems to be syncing and working.

So, wait Aptoide is an alternative app store, right? You're saying that if I update the kindle reader from there it might work properly right?

Hi! Make sure you have the latest cm11 update settings-about tablet-cyangenmod updates
if you do and it still doesn't work please contact me and ill be will to provide further asistance1
I have the latest stable update according to my tablet, I checked. I seem to have issues with the Kindle reading app (it either doesn't sync or if I try an older version it crashes as soon as it is launched of after logging in), and it seems like Google services keep crashing randomly (I think this is the 4th or 5th day I'm running Cm but it wasn't doing so for at least the first two days). It also doesn't auto rotate although I have screen rotation unlocked, it rotates only after putting the Kindle in sleep mode and unlocking it again. I dunno if all those are related or not, if you could help me I'd really be thankful. =)

M7 is a monthly update considered more stable than nighty. I think one of the monthly snapshots had some issues. That may be what he's refering too. I am using the nightly from 7-2 (think) and it's running great for the things I use it for.

Hello,
I cant find a answer to my problem. I have been searching and trying to fix it for days. So I got 2 HP TouchPads as a gift. I was able to install CM11 with toolbox on one HP. No issues at all with that one. Then I installed CM11 with toolbox on second one. The only issue I have is the WiFi will not turn on. When the ROM starts I hit English and then it will go to the WiFi screen. At that screen it will say "WiFi turning on". It will stay like that forever and never change. When I decide to skip the setup and turn the WiFi on with the toggle switch it does nothing. The switch will not move. I have tried CM11, Pacman kikat 4.4.4 and Evervolv 5.0.0. WiFi will not turn on will any ROM. When I go back to Webos with toolbox WiFi will work every time. Does any one know how to fix this?
ok so since no one knows that answer. Is it possible to take a backup from the good touchpad and restore it on the bad touchpad. Does anyone think that will work? If it is possible how would I go about doing that. I'm using toolbox and cwm recovery.
Just to eliminate CM configuration as an issue, have you tried using the WIFI in WebOS? I've had problems with my corp WIFI on my Touchpad on and off for a long time. Trying a different OS might eliminate or suggest a hardware related probem.
