I have rooted my device, installed the clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7.2
As far as I know you can't install a original firmware update on a rooted device.
So what do I need to do to prepare it for the ICS update?
Superoneclick unroot? will that do the trick?
Unroot
Yes super one click will unroot your phone. But you must flash it with an original 2.3 stock version if you want to use LG tools to upgrade it. Another way to get it is to download the .kdz ROM when it will be released and put it on your device.
Anyway, until now, only the SU660 -the korean version of the o2x- is getting upgrades... Patience
The best is to keep it this way and flash one of the modded stock ROM ....

What do you mean by upgrade.. I just said that when official Ics will be there, devs will make modded official Ics based roms... So you'll be able too upgrade from a modded ROM to another.

Ah okay, I thought you ment upgrading the official rom with LG-tool.
My Advice is to wat for the kernel source release.
It is said to be released 2 weeks afther the LG update.
Parandroid for O2x already has LG UI 3.0 + JB flavour. The only thing that lacks is video recording, hw acceleration and proprably other minor stuff.
So till the end of October, there will probably be CM9/CM10 release for O2x.
Hello,
How many time, in your opinion, after official release a zip cwm flashable official based ics will be aviable ? it's soooo easy to flash by this way (last time I flashed an official rom I was forced to use the ftp server method , worked well but ....)
Thanks

as soon as the official release will be out, for now be patient :laugh:, the devs on this site can produce a modded stock rom that can be flashed in cwm, just like v20q. till then we have to wait :silly:
I did use CWM to flash this: v20q.zip file (stock firmware GB) and did factory reset everything.
I can still acces the special boot menu when holding the power button and vol down button.
But I don't think the device is rooted?
Is that true?
I installed a memory cleaner app and it told me that my device is not rooted so I can't acces all the options.
So flashing v20q.zip file also unroots the phone?
Seems to be

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

Hello everyone.
I want to install IZS and I'm not sure if I'm correct, because as you can see English is not my native language.
I have a very old CM build (android 4.1.2 - 10-20121023-nightly-p970) with working CWM (I tried to reboot to recovery and it was successful), kernel 3.0.8-CM, baseband lgp970at-00-V10e-EEU.
If I want to install IZS, I just need to: download zips, access CWM, do wipe data / factory reset, install zips and patched v20 u-boot and everything will be okay? I don't know anything about V30 baseband and locked bootloader (I didn't follow news about p970 development since December 2012), I need working GPS this week, so I don't want to break anything.
Thank you in advance!

I'm guessing you are talking avout CRT Off animation. Use IZS V2. AFAIK it has Xposed framework. You can activate it with that... But i haven't tried it yet so i can not say it for sure. But if you are going to install IZS, intall V2.
I've been using CM12 Sabermod for a few months now but lately my phone has started to lag a lot, I've experience the same problems with other Lollipop based ROMs too. I never had this problem in 4.3 but I had to move to 5.1 since some apps that I use daily required KitKat or higher.
So my question is - is there any good KitKat ROM for XSP? If yes, how can I get the best performance for multitasking?
Before change to KK, I should ask: Do you already flash the most recent build?
Another is: Have yout try move apps to SD card?
Another one: Try to clean Cache on the Settings -> Storage (and then Reboot)?
And Clean cache of some apps too manually.
Remembering that to flash a the most recent build, you doesnt need to Backup, BUT... Just for convenience do it.
If none of those above options function well for you, indeed there is a stable and fast KK to our lovely (and hated) SP.
Options I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64991746&postcount=1320
Or
Last release from CM Team
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot
Both are great in performance and multitask like the JB 4.3 Stock.
Is there a good one which has Stock features? As in it has the basic Sony apps. They were quite nifty.

Hi, a clean wipe should be enough. I did factory reset / wipe data, format system, cache and data, wipe dalvik, then install in that order:
OmniX-Rom, recommended gapps, SU-update. Please confirm to fix super user when asked, then reboot into system. First boot will take some minutes (less than 5).

I would try that rom if the led bar was working exactly as it does in the stock firmwares (you know, receiving phone calls, viewing images, making a call etc.). There isn't a way to duplicate that functionality level since it's cyanogenmod-based, right?

But, by "it works Successfully", what did you mean ? You can access on the recovery or you can boot on CM13 ?
Indeed, my device power off not after the flash of the kernel and the recovery, but AFTER the flash of the CM13 + GApps.
So, if by "success" you meant that you can boot totally on CM13, which ROM and which kernel did you flashed ?
But if it concerned the recovery only, this is good, I have the same result than you x)

Hi,
Are you able to make one for the Z5P??
some of us are still stuck at ver 2.8.
