Hi
Need some help please. I'm coming back to my LG 2x P990. But I have a terrible rom on it from along time ago.
I'm after a gingerbread rom bug free doesn't have to be stock but bug free while I have repairs on my other phone. On old Bootloader as far as I know.
Please post any links that would be of any help cheers
Robbo
I dont recommend to use gb rom.
Download tonyp's rom build 4, it has google apps included. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265329
From tonyp's download section download camera mod also if you want to take pictures.
To save some time and avoid any troubles make sure you flash the one which is for oldbl and do not flash newbl one. But if you do flash newbl then I am here to assist you to unbrick your phone.

Probably right.. installing cm7 is the best mod since waiting for gingerbread update from LG is totally slow.. hurmmm.. currently im using v10d, NeoBlaze kernel with PMC, Chainfire 3D (nvidia plugin).. got 36++ score at Quadrant.. bricked several times.. hehehe..
Guys.. heard anyone using Garmin-Asus A10 and already used any custom roms? Also do u know how to import certain software? Like to install Garmin inside O2X.
guys ill be receiving this phone next week im planning on installing right away CM7... any suggestion on what else should i install?... cause ive been reading about flashing CM7 plus other files (fixes) but dont now which ones , thanks!
Well, i never played CM7 that much.. like my previous post, what u should do is "trial & error" method.. whats important, u should backup the original ROM.. i already lost my original factory settings..

Guys, who still have the original factory-default rom from celcom? If its ok, kindly post me the "apns-conf.xml".. And whats the rom version number? Is it 525? Lost my original rom due to bricked..

Hi all
I am just getting a head of myself here but I am wondering if I can learn before I start flashing my LG O2X.
I am in Australia and I am wondering which firmware (full stock) is most preferred at the moment?
I read in the firmware sections and it seems as if the not all stock firmware are very stable (Some people are complaining that it sucks out of the juice badly).
so any suggestions (links will help heaps) is much appreciated.
any link to good tutorial to flash the firmware is also greatly appreciated.
Thanks
sorry for the newbie questions

Cheers guys!
I am still confused with all this term of base band and firmware used for LG o2x.
On my Samsung if i want to update my stock firmware i just need to go to samfirware download the latest one . Open ODIN as the flashing application, put the downloaded firmware package and press start.
Is this the same process in LG?
Do i need to root first? Where can I download the latest firmware package for LG?
Thanks again guys

Hello!
This depends...
If you only want the latest firmware provided by LG - just use the LG Update tool, follow its instructions and click start - wait a few minutes and voila.
Only working with an unbranded phone of course - in case of a branded phone you might have to wait for the OTA from your provider.
But you might have to wait at least another 6 Month for the next update from LG - last Update by LG(in Nov.) was to Android 2.3.4 and still has some bugs - ICS(Android 4.0) is in the making but...
If you want root, a custom rom(I would say CM7 is a lot better than stock rom - my opinion) with all the latest updates(i.e. Android 2.3.7 may be an ICS-build for X-mas ) and/or an OC/UV kernel it is a little more complicated.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
So... it sounds like the CM7 has won lots of hearts.
If I want to update mine (stock unbranded), which tutorial should I use?
since I am completely new to LG, any step by step (from the beginning) tutorial will help greatly.
I am after total stability and good battery - I am only using camera/video recording, playing videos, musics, skype/fring/viber and also some small games like angry birds etc.. good GPS lock is a bonus.
So any recommendation is greatly appreciated
Thank you

Frist things First - backup all you date before you start because the phone RAM/ROM will be wiped!
If your phone comes with Froyo (Android 2.2.2) you could go right ahead and start after the ***-line
...if your phone comes already with GB (Android 2.3.4 – look under setting on the about page!) you need to smartflash a CM7-compatible baseband (i.e. 0725 for Froyo or 0823 as I use it).
Guide to flash baseband – only needed if your phone some with GB(Android 2.3.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
A German guide with downloadlinks…
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html
If you try the newest baseband on this page (0823 – 23.08.11) you must flash all 4 files in descending order of filesize – the others are single files which are easier to use.
***************************************************************************
The easiest way would be to root the phone with SuperOneClick.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/superoneclick-updated-to-2-2-now-features-zergrush-exploit/
…and then use Clockworkmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745) or Rom Manager to flash the latest KANG, since there aren’t any up to date Nightly’s because the CM7-build bot server is broken.
A Guide is in the Wiki pages for the LG P990…
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_ROM_Manager
You could use either one of these KANGs…
Rusty:
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/p990/
temasek:
http://www.mediafire.com/temasek
koboltzz:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/9Y9RYzQA/_online.html
Don’t forget to flash the latest gapps for GB 2.3.7 (right now AFAIK version from14th Dez.)– you can find them on temaseks-mediafire account.
Just place KANG-Files and Gapps on your SD card before you enter boot recovery.
At the end you need GetRIL or LG RIL versions from the market to update you RIL because the preinstalled baseband of you new phone is almost probably 0725 and CM7 comes always with 0218 – just download GET RIL and hit the install button…
Now you should be good to go.
If you are even more adventurers you could look into the ironkrnL for more performance/powersaving – see my sig. and/or look in the ironkrnL-Thread at xda and flash an ironkrnL after the gapps.

So “only” about everything one could do with a Smartphone…
Latest ironkrnL-builds with 00 or 32 ramhack should do it(stability and good battery) - but you might need to set the ring delay between 3000-4000 in the build.prop found in /system (you need a root-capable filemanager/editor i.e. ES Datei Explorer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop or Rom Tool from the market). I had a problem with the preset delay of 225.
Hope that helped...
Hi Guys, im not sure if there are still pinoys here, but anyways i was wondering if someone from manila can guide me where and what stable ROM can i use i am familiar on how to flash and root and all that but when i ran though all the threads about Custom roms and Kernels i am kinda confused now im afarid that if i flash a rom like CM7 on my O2X it'll not work the RIL and Baseband Version kinda made me confused. i am not sure if i need to change them or what tomake it work
I just recently updated my phone to 2.3.4 GRJ22 i am on V20d which the BB is 1035.21_20110725 any advise and any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance Guys!!
Joe,
Well I'm not from manilla but I can help of course
Uhm the latest CM7.2 kangs are really stable so if you want to use cm then I think you should flash them right away. As for stock I think guestes rom will also do fine since I've heard many positive reviews about it.
In the dev section you'll also find many threads about flashing the right BB etc. So follow the threads over there and I'm sure that you will get the right BB for your phone.
As for RIL, everything becomes even easier. Just install the GetRIL app (needs root access) and just install one of the many RILs over there.
I hope that everything is clear now

your baseband is just fine, i have the same..
and get ril will tell you if you have the optimal ril.. i have v10d europe open, but as long as everything works, there is no need to change it
i will buy a used galaxy tab p1000 next week ... i have lg optimus black and it have no support at all . so i guess i will find alot of support here in galaxy tab forum and alot of roms
i cant understand any thing about flashing - roms- recovery - nightly - rc !!! alot of these stuff i found and alot of download links and alot of names so i get confused and these things become complix for me !!
i want to download ics on my galaxy tab the moment i buy it i don want to work on gingerbird
so i want any one here to help me with this problem ... i need to know these basics , how to , stable rom , etc
also can i use ics my daily use ? from ur usage to the galaxy tab working with ics , is it fast as froyo ? is it totally compatible ? can i run all programs and games ? does it lag alot and force close alot of prog ?
I am using AOKP build 40.
Faster than froyo, a lot more available apps in market because it is ICS.
no FC at all.
EDIT: using your term then, Force Close (FC)

and missing kernel here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27801159&postcount=8
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
But since you want ICS, continue reading the guide.
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
You have ICS after a few minutes of booting.
You are here too. Btw thank you for your help last time. Now i want to get cm9 on my tab. I used cubed 3d, it was stable but i really want ics feel. I am currently on froyo and wanting to get cm9 installed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi droidxrooting,
I hope you are comfortable using Heimdall.
The last round you didn't get to use it on linux?
Most of the CDMA guide is using heimdall, some guides on Windows.
The process is similar, you want to flash a kernel that has CWM 5.x and support Ext4 conversion (so called lagfix).
Then flash ICS, the gapps.
there is cyanogenmod wiki too, but I don't know if it is clear or not

flash cyanogenMod 9 Stable version,.
Now I am very comfortable with heimdall. My first experience was horrible because of the drivers on my PC. I used other computers and it worked like a charm. I can not ask for more.
The problem that I was facing with flashing cm9 over cubed 3d is the error I was getting in cwm. Error 7 installation aborted. I tried to flash other ROMs as well with out any luck. Even after master reset and clearing the caches.
Now I am back to stock and rooted. I need the way to get recovery on my tab. If you can help me it would be great.
Once I get the recovery I think I should be able to flash cm with out any problems.

hi guys, i recently got lg p925
yesterday i updated it to official ICS 4.0.4 after that my phone gets slower than before
kindly suggest me a better and fast 3d rom and a guide to flash it,
i have searched the thread but did not find a detailed guide
also these are my info
os 4.0.4
baseband omap4430/xmm6260
kernel: 3.0.21
S/w version: P925g30c
bump!!!!
is there anyone??
mods? members?
anyone
No one has made a new ROM for this yet. May have to troll the optimus3d forums for a good kernel for over clock. I'm not sure there are any Devs left on here.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Did you do a factory reset? i didn't notice any speed loss with 4.0.4. I cleaned and wiped the phone then did the upgrade. there might be GB programs still running on your ICS if you didnt do a factory reset.
Xbsall has made a ROM based on V30C called XBSAVR3D. You would have to flash his V28B large partition ROM to run it though. Don't know how experienced you are at flashing bin files and such but if you wanna give it a try you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33461920 Noob friendly guide on how to flash this found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
The process is lengthy but worth it plus all developers are pretty much developing ROMs based on this system partition so it will greatly broaden your flashing horizons in the future.
Fyi: this makes your system partition 1.54 gigs.
