LG Optimus 2x p990 with ICS

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question. Maybe someone tried all of our beloved ICS roms and kernels? If yes, could you please share your experience with them? I would be grateful! Testing requires tons of time .. which i do not have much.
Currently on CM9 Owain 79 build with Jarvis v7 kernel with apex launcher, OC 14** mhz. Well battery life is enough for me, actually is great (3days of light usage), just feeling some latency. Any tips (don't use that, use that, etc..)?
P.s. I know all the builds are great and all the combos are great for someone and for someone not, because of ridiculous angle of different p990 region devices. Just share your experience if you have tried and find something great! Thank you!

First of all, since hardware acceleration isn't present as well as the other drivers for ICS on our phone, you won't get it as fluid as Gingerbread was.
What you can do however is to test Owain's rom without Jarvis kernel as i've noticed that the Jarves kernel doesn't get rid of any UI lag at all.
Secondly, if what LG's facebook page says is true, we'll get an official ICS build somewhere in Q3 meaning pretty soon.. Now i know LG hasn't kept it's word before... but hey if this is true, your problem will be solved soon enough.
If you really want your phone to be nearly lag free, i'd suggest switching back to CM7-based ROMs for a while.

I tried nova hd. Perfectly developed I think. It has very few bugs and incredibly fast. Try it with lightning speed kernel.

have you installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730872 ? With the dalivk fix your rom should be very buttery smooth
I tried EaglesBlood AOSP - so far its very smooth too but then i missed some settings from CM and went over to paranoid+Jarvis 7.
Cheers

Currently running xxMrHyde unofficial build with nova kernel 1.0.7 and it's doing great.. though battery drains much faster compared to cm7..

Running MIUIv4 (bihariel's build). MIUI has simply stunning looks and its theming engine (and available themes) are simply awesome.
Be advised, you need to sacrifice a bit of performance a functionality on MIUI over other ICS builds like CM9, only for its looks, but i love it so much that for me, its worth it

will the official ICS version have hardware gpu acceleration? or we will never see ics with hardware gpu acc on our phone?

I also running v4 MIUI by bihariel. I agree that the management issues is something exceptional. But I must say that I have tried many roms and gb ics and have not found a difference in performance or slow as you say. Using another launcher, so MIUI home which is very heavy and a couple of kill app to lighten the ram, perhaps because of this.
However, all the rom try this is extraordinary.

Not sure about the big differences in roms, but if you want a smooth CM9 launcher, I recommend LG UI 3.0! smoother than samsung touchwiz home, nova, trebuchet. Not had anything smoother since then.

LG 3.0 IU tried rom NOVA HD and it seemed a little heavy, maybe on this rom. Instead I am comfortable with Xperia launcher 0.9.1b + widgets and icons support. I also used on other rom, stable and lightweight.

Well, the launcher along with its customizability (icons etc) is one if the main reasons to choose MIUI over cm, so changing that would ruin all the fun

[KERNEL] HorsePower 2x, [ROM] PARANOIDNANDROID v1.5

Hello all together,
I have a short question and I hope my school-english will be enough so you can understand.
My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

Please do a full wipe, including /system, then reflash and first try it with the stock kernel.
I have none of these issues.
Oh and: disable zRam (compcache), that's not perfectly working on our 2x.

Niks Jellybean Evolution vs Codename jellybean, go!

title says it all...

Like I said in the thread
Both are very similar performance wise, and probably battery too since they have the same AOSP base and minimal changes
But I find CNA has more tweaks, it seems JB evolution is missing some things in rom control compared with Ice Cold and other AOKP roms, inclusing official AOKP B1 on my N7
I am sticking with CNA for the moment because there are more tweaks I use
I found with my N7 that roms were only different when it comes to looks, with JB as there is smoothness already
Kernels IMO are the biggest difference with JB, they are the hottest topics in the N7 section

Thanks for your comments

I've tried only Codename yet and noticed one unpleasant distinction: the color rendition is different from the one that I get used to. It's much more greenish and yellowish. It's well-seen when you are browsing web pages or use reading apps. The lower the brightness, the uglier the color tint. I have no ideas on how to influence that

My two cents, for a total of 10 hours running Codename. Previous ROM was the May version of Playground ICS (last one posted on XDA).
Maps run well, email has come in and what I've used works, today will be the "acid" test, I know Nik is going to update the Kernel on it so I've not loaded all my apps just the ones I need to get through the day. Texts work well, and Dogcatcher works. I took a few photos and the camera was a little odd but the pictures look good. I will edit and update as it goes to 24hrs of use.

I think codename is better cause has more features.

My report back, Full Day of work, a few phone calls several emails and me playing with GPS just to play with GPS (never worked well in Playground ICS). 16h 20m on battery and I'm at 27%. no crashes or need to reboot. BTW this is the codename version.

I've been running Codename for a few days now and it's one of the most stable roms that I've used. I did try Evolution for a bit, but I preferred Codename due to the extra features that it has, but you can't go wrong with either. Certainly some tweaks need to be made, but I've never had a crash or performance issues.

I am absolutely loving codename jellybean. its super fast and there are no force closes Thanks a lot Nik

I have flashed both and can't decide which one i like better?! Nether less they are both awesome roms! :good:

I have flashed both, tried each out for a day before I decided on Evolution, even though it has fewer tweeks something was just that more alluring. I am always amazed and greatful at the skill of the coders on XDA. I found both have similar FC problems on certain apps, which should help development and updating, if my common sense works.

No freeze yet. The only thing I have is my widgets disappear after reboot and I reboot because fonts go "fuzzy"

I am running Evolution and whenever I play a video it force restarts the phone after a few seconds. This includes with three different media players, plus the YouTube ad, although games run fine.
EDIT: Also crashes when using the camera (stock and 3rd party) when having the camera on for about 30 seconds. Also, I tried the Codename ROM and the same thing happened.
One more thing; I think the Codename ROM is actually smoother then the Evolution ROM.
Second EDIT: This fixed the video playback;
YouTube/Video playback reboots phone
This could be due to flash
Possible temp fix, go to settings > developer options > Disable HW overlays

With the latest update of Codename, my capacitive buttons have stopped working The previous one worked fine for me.

does camcorder or video work in paranoidandroid?

i honestly believe the best rom for htc incredible s right now is MIUI v4
ive tried codename, and in terms of just being a really nice rom with only one bug that i have encountered, and being incredibly smooth and fast, nothing else comes close for me.
edit. just noticed the title of thread - in that case code name for me too.

Jelly Bean on I9000...why bother?

What are the benefits of installing JB on an i9000?
I'm aware the FM radio on JB doesn't work and some other function too....then, it seems that all the sleek design of the new ROM will slow CPU speed - surely, is it worth bothering to install the latest ROMs on near outdated smartphones like the i9000?
I've stumbled on the JW4 stock and represent a worthy alternative to Gingerbread 2.3 - then for the sleek look I'm considering some themes....
Have I missed some relevant facts about the JB 4.2 on the i9000? Right now, I wouldn't bother.

For as far as I know, Cyanogenmod never really got Project Butter off the ground on Samsung devices running Exynos processors, like the i9000. I'm running 4.1 Cyanogenmod as well, and it does seem a tad more smooth, but I've no idea if that's because of Project Butter, or just the fact that it's a very nice android version.

I've just tested JB 4.2....nice and sleek look but not Swipe and what happened to my external SD? no "My File" is found so I can't search...no wonder when I check Storage on Settings gives me an error. The Camera also seems very limited (have I missed something?).
Exactly as I initially thought....
All this hype to get the latest ROMs are mostly superficial fads with no substance - good only for greedy developers and bored teenagers in search of new trills to impress their mates - nah, I like using Swipe and FM radio (and searching my files) - back to JW4.

Yeah. They came up with a neat intuitive interface with 4.2 but stripped out so many features. Honestly who in the right mind thought it was a great idea to get rid of the timer option. I used the 4.2 camera for about a day before I just rolled back to the 4.1 camera

You're comparing a ROM that's barely even alpha. Try CM10 4.1.2 stable. That will give you a better idea of what cyanogenmod is capable of. And you can still install Swype. I'm using it right now.
And don't be a troll, it's not very nice
CM10 powered by Mackay kernel

So what's the intention of this thread then?
Try Mackay ROM or CM10. Both are stable and fluid and you will be happy with them. But if you don't even know how to install Swype you should probably stick to stock.

Android jelly bean is fantastic because it is faster and smoother. To solve the problem of radio you should download spirit fm radio light that is NOT a streaming app, but uses the FM radio receiver installed by Samsung on Galaxy.

in fact I've bothered to install swype by myself - never had to do before the "upgrade"?
An upgrade should include all the best functions - swype represents in my opinion the best way to input text - go figure why the developers forgot about it.

ok, if the FM radio isn't lost then this might save the bacon...the future is radio via data or podcasting but when traveling abroad it might be useful to use FM radio to save data roaming (and power too).
I've tested 4 new ROMs (in 2 days): aosp, aokp, xbean, cm10 - the camera has lost many functions - still, the Galaxy doesn't even offer a flash - so, no big deal there.
The JW4 I'm using right now seems faster than any of the JB tested, but I agree about the new ROMs being smoother and more stylish.
The DSP on offer might be worth upgrading...
There are too many new functions which are a bit too geeky and many customizations are a bit OTT (reminds me of some linux distros)...so, I might be tempted to opt for Slim Bean (jelly bean without the fat)....still, I'll wait a few months

no videocall facility
I belive the custom Roms not support videocall fascilty, (correct me,If I am wrong). But rest everything is OK in JB Roms.
I have tried more than 4 ROMs including latest 4.2, None of othem having videocall button not integrated with .
But there are improvements in audio & video perfomance compare to Stock GB ROM.

Can JB camera save to external SD? Try saving HD video on limited 8 GB internal storage

U should try "c-rom Mix v8" or "mckay rom build158 or 161,in my opinion its the two best roms available in JB,in McKay's build there is a small difference in smoothness between the two builds..
C-rom v8 is my favorite,its d... good

Just Because...
Because we can. You, good sir, are asking the wrong question..LOL Why wouldn't you want the latest version of android on existing hardware? It is like having the best of both worlds. New Software, same phone.
Imagine putting windows 8 on a 486, and having it run smoothly. That will never happen.... with android on the other hand... okay, perhaps a little exaggeration there, but you get the idea. (Unless you are to young to remember a 486,)
For me personally, it negates the need to buy a $500 - $600 phone, just to have the latest version of software.
I do however, understand your point of view. I hope that I have answered your question thoroughly.
My swype on 4.2.1 works fine. I do have an sdcard 0/1 bug. I consider that perfectly acceptable, in this scenario.
Panorama camera feature is neat. Although it is not something that I can see myself using a whole lot.
Jeremy

I think the choice belongs to everyone to flash JB...or not.
I tried but i'am back on GB with the sauRom V2. The BEST rom ever flashed on my phone ! ! !
I have tried Miui, Cyanogen, Ics, JB...... None of those roms compares to SauRom in my opinion.
Really worth a try ! Smooth, fast, stable, Very good battery life ! !
Since i'am using it, no need to flash anymore !

[Q] Is it worth upgrading to 4.4?

Hi,
My wife's GTN7000 is on 4.1.2 stock, but its a bit sluggish now. Though she has a lot of apps on it :0...
Wondering would she benefit from upgrading to 4.4? In terms of performance mainly.
It sounds like its pretty stable, is there any reason I shouldn't upgrade it? If its buggy or she loses any functionality I'll get skinned....
I presume the latest OmniROM is the one to go with, that right?
Thanks loads in advance

Well, just my opinion, customized ROMs are not for house wives.

It depends ...
I've using OMNI since last Nov.as my daily driver and already enjoying it. Better speed more smooth.
But,
Go check the list of known bugs and issues of OMNI ROM in this thread and see if your wife will be able to deal with them on a daily basis.
And I can add:
USB storage doesn't work correctly till now.
Music player crashes on few nightlies.
Camera performance was better on the stock firmware.
Some battery draining issues from time to time.
Remember Nightlies are experimental builds.

maybe, depends on your wife.
Generally, i advise, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
On the other hand, if she is thinking about a new phone/ not happy with the note as it is, try omni.

Thanks guys Mmmmyeah maybe I'll leave it go, looks like theres still some flakyness...
Cheers

Try SlimSaber Rom from 'fusionjack'....
Awesome performance more than omni....

i think is not the roms but to many unused data.
try to custom roms 4.1.2 cos 4.4 still buggy

I've stayed away from everything, post 4.1.2 on my GT-N7000 for the simple fact that for MY
usage, it is rock stable. Camera, bluetooth are the #1 things, aside from the phone that I use
daily. I've seen a few roms, but each of them have issues with either camera, usb, SD card, or
bluetooth. For my usage, the 4.4 update didn't bring anything to the table that I would find as
a benefit.
Until I get a new device, for my pattern of use, I'm sticking with 4.1.2..... as always, your mileage
may vary.

I just update from 4.2 to 4.4.. My opinion is better update to 4.2 first since it is more stable than 4.4..

Survey 2015: What ROM you use on P880 nowdays?

Since official update missing from too long time in latest months I have searching for alternative ROM or MOD since I cannot spend a lot of money for a new smartphone again after only a couple of years and with stock ROM Optimus for some reason is more laggy than smartphone far less powerful.
Unfortunately in all I have found some issue and problems, so now I'm wondering what are the ROM\MODS more used by the P880 community on XDA..
Eventually a list of not-working things (eg missing radio, broken GPS, unusable MHL HDMI out etc.) would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Everything working with BlissPop 3.2.

I am using CM 11 nightlies and I am waiting for its final release !

after more than 1 year of flashing many ROMs, I think I've found my best tradeoff with this: omni-4.4.4-20150520-p880-FINAL
No bugs for my use and excellent smothness.
The only drawback is the long time required to turn mobile data ON.

To keep the thread alive..
My experience after 2 years using this phone and custom roms:
- phone is s**t (but I do not intend to buy a new one, so here goes..)
- Used some recommended roms laying around, but here are some roms I tested and used for longer period.
- I use phone for everyday use. I want lagfree, fast and good battery life (at least in deep sleep). I mostly use some simple apps, browsing, messages, pdf books, camera and video recording.
1. CM11 (4.2.2.)
Great rom, with some bugs, but nothing serious.
Occasional lags, good battery life - some builds were awsome (less than 0,3%/hour batt consumption).
Maybe little too slow occasionally.
2.CM11 (4.4.4)
Also great rom, with some nice features, much more polished than 4.2.2. At start there were great builds, but after some time it got worse. Probably kernel related.
Quite good speed, some lags, quite good batt (but not so good as 4.2.2).
If you did not restart phone in a while, it got very laggy - at least second period of rom development.
3.MAHDI FINAL
Best rom - is`s features are endless. Great for customising everything, quite good speed, but laggy from time to time - when you most need it! Battery similar to CM11 4.4.4, but better with speed. Quite good, but too much lag for me.
3.MOURTA LS+KERNEL
Best rom I used becouse of smoothness, features and customization of whole rom. Really smooth.
BUT it has a bug with gapps - if you do not google enable update service(s) - it does not go to deep sleep.
And MAJOR DOWNSIDE - worst batt life of all the roms I used. Tried everything, but batt life did not get any better. Especially when you use the phone - batt drains as hell.
So I got a felling that all this speed and other goodies comes with bad batt.
I can do this on my own, with any rom, by putting governor to performance
Too bad for this rom... Goodbye!
4.OMNI 4.4.4. final
So I tried this recommended rom - after reading some forum posts.
It is not so great with features (some of them I miss), but it is almost lagfree, quite fast, good batt life..
Maybe only rom I used, that is stable and fast enough for everyday use..
I miss some functions and LS speed , but for now - I am satisfied.
For the end
- I did not tried any custom kernels, at least for longer period. Had a felling they all got too bad batt life for my taste.
- tried also scripts and tweaks 2.2, but I did not notice any big improvment over my demands (stable, fast, batt).
And it would be great if we all together find the best rom for everyday use ?!
And maybe upload the zips to some cloud, for later generations to use ?
I personally would like to get CM11 4.2.2 builds.
And CM11 unofficial builds to try.

That would be great, if whole LG 4x community could create final ROM for our phone - with everything done, and working as it shoud be.
Personally I use Resurrection Remix 5.4.5 ROM. Pretty good performance and battery life after some tweaks (Power Nap, disabling some wakelocks etc.). But it wasn't updated since May 2015 Sometimes it's going crazy: interface, and system crashes, but that's ocassionally (every day ? - f%#&#).
This phone is S%$t, and sometimes I want to throw it through the window... But i'm poor xD

Blisspop 3.4

CM 11 3.14 Nightly
Some times I get no signal and the phone wont wake up from deep sleep but most of the time it's not bad at all.

Yeah bros, i totally understand you all...Every ROM i used (some for short, other for long periods of time) eventually turned to be ****. I of course dont blame not one dev, as their doing their best to keep alive a crappy smartphone. Right now i use for some time the CM 12.1 i think, as it was the most (at least) usable ROM, whitout huge bugs and a whole lot of lag. There were a lot of times i wanted to burn this useless piece of **** and throw it out the window...But finally the time has come. I ordered a LG G4! Comming next week. I will miss you all out there, as we shared strugle... :crying::crying::highfive:

I want an update to this survey. Still I haven't found a ROM where everything works. In some ROM doesn't work correctly the GPS, in other ROMS I aren't able to scan QR codes. other ROMS have TV out broken, fm radio broken or videocamera not fully functional or with worsened quality... other ROMS are laggy or with freezes.
This is a 1,5 Ghz quad core with 1GB ram, is an outdated device but still far more powerful than many entry levels in the marked that are released with recent Android OS version and are way faster despite their hardware.
What are the most newer ROM fully working for daily use?

MoltenMotherBoard Lollipop 5.1.1
The only not-working stuffs, that I know of, are QR code scanning and FM radio. QR code scanning can never be fixed for grouper blobs based ROMs. FM radio is never a critical feature. Most custom ROMs choose to ignore this for most Android phones, not just LG O4X.
If you ever build the ROM from source, then you will appreciate this Lollipop ROM that it is preserving most of the pristine Google AOSP experience as much as possible.
Unfortunately for me that my taste of Android OS has been less than desirable until Lollipop. It is my personal choice that I won't look back on anything lesser than Lollipop on my Android phone. This is also one of the reason I am staying away even from LG stock JB ROM. If we take away issues with OS aging, then we hope to be able to declare that stock ROM should be perfect. But I can tell you that for LG O4X, LG had failed this.
In short, I just want to tell you that it is very rare to find custom ROMs matching the functionalities of stock ROM perfectly. If you had to take the route of custom ROMs, then you need to choose base on features that matter most for your usage.

Is there any rom with sustained performance and stagefright fixes (maybe f2fs for perfomance)?
I don't really care if its 4.3, 4.4 or 5.1
As long as it has halfway decent battery life (I know the tegra3 is power hungry) and it doesn't have seconds of lag in whatsapp like the stock rom, I am happy.

I am like you, tried many Rom's untill today. I think our P880 is same but there is something different, I know devices have same parts but somehow different.
I mean some Rom works for me very well but same rom for another friend dosn't work as it's supposed to be.
Lately I am using Euphoria for daily driver. I like LP features. Jb or Kit Kat doesn't satisfied me. And I decide to buy new phone because like I said before P880 's hardware doesn't enough anymore. I think I will buy Z5.

Yes, I do agree with u on the fact that our devices are somewhat different from one another and we are having somewhat difficult time in coping with the new OS provided that our hardware are a bit outdated. However, I think this phone is really endurable and I am very satisfied with this, I have been using this phone for almost three years and it still function as it is so I have to say I am impressed. Currently I am trying out cm11 and mahdi 4.4., I have to say cm11 is rock stable but I would say mahdi has a lot of customizable features that I like. So it is quite difficult to choose among them. But for LP rom, I think it requires way too much resources that our phone might not be able to cope with.

Beanstalk 4.4.x

May I suggest beanstalk. Good battery, lots of optional features like halo etc (only thing that doesnt work is the screen recorder). If there was a lollipop version, then I would run it in heartbeat :good:

I am running Mahdi at the moment.
Works, responsiveness is fine. But sometimes PlayServices go bezerk and cause wakelocks, until the battery dies.
And Whatsapp sometimes get's messed up when the screen rotates.

I have heard many good things about beanstalk but never had the chance to experience that as most of the links in the post are dead.... Is there anywhere that we can find to try out that rom?

I am currently using ICS Stock 4.0.3
Also tried custom roms like Cm11 and Cm12.1
For me Stock (ICS) is good as it provide me best battery life for charging,usage,camera,wifi etc
Just waiting for Cm13

Unfortuantly that is the only source i know of for beanstalk.
the 26/12/2013 link works, and most of the ones at the bottom too (remember though to right click on the big blue "download now" and choose "open link in new tab" to start the download on Dev-Host

Try to use privacy guard to block the wake-up and keep awake of the google play service, then the drain should be gone.
