Hi guys
I am trying hard to flash my phone with the latest stable Cyanogenmod (7.1)
But I am facing some issues..
Here is what has happened so far:
I have tried a couple of times now, but every time it just hangs on the blue LG startup logo..
Please explain this to me, as if I know nothing at all. (I feel this way)
So here is a list, of how I think I should do:
1: Reflash with Nvflash, so the phone actually becomes bootable
2: install Rom manager (It is not available in China) but I have an .apk So now I install File manager from market, first.
3: Root phone
4: startup
5: start Rom manager, run "flash clockwordmod recovery" select "LG/T-mobile G2X" (Is this the right one?)
6: Choose "reboot into recovery"
7: Choose Factory reset-> Wipe cache and install zip from SD (First CM7.1 then Gapps)
8: Reboot (This is where it hangs on the marvellous blue LG logo)
I think I might be doing something wrong regarding the Recovery (No. 5 or 6)
But please point out what I might be doing wrong..
Looking forward to yoyur assistance

You did it wrong by step 5 you have to choose lg optimus 2x and not lg g2x of t-mobile

Thanks tekingenc for a very fast reply.
I just do not have the option for the optimus 2X.. Is my clockword old?
I am in China and Clockworkmod has been blocked (Not commenting on that) on the market. So I am using an APK for installation, via File manager (Astro is also blocked)
Any clue as to where I might find a version that includes p990?
Which version of Rom manager do you have?
The latest is 5.0.0.6

Wow. Now Finally I see the Cyanogenmod startup screen!!
I owe you a beer
I didn't use the SU303.zip, what was that for?

You don't need it, it's necessary only if you want to root the stock version

7.1 is too old, maybe you should try to flash the latest Temasek build, is pretty stable.

Thanks. I just want something really stable. As you've guessed I don't know a lot about these things. I just wanted something that was a bit more responsive than the stock, provided from LG (I can't believe hos slow it is) Which made my p990 feel as fast as my HTC Legend..
Its probably better to install a ROM via the CWM console instead of using ROM manager .. Specially if you have differently mapped sdcard mount partitions.. But then ROM manager isnt that bad

CyanogenMod is nothing more than a custom rom for your phone. You can change your rom after you've rooted your phone. A rom is more or less the software what runs on your phone.
You probably got your O2X fresh out of the box with a stock (crappy) LG rom on it. Well, my advise is to change your rom because sooner or later you'll find out that the stock rom is really bad.
You don't 'have to' change to CyanogenMod, because this is obviously your choice. There are many other custom roms in the dev section like MIUI, or improved stock roms. You just have to read the threads, look at the screenshots, read the reviews and make up your own mind.
i had the very usefull lg led notification on my previous rom version but doesn't seem to work with ICS ? any tricks or alternatives out there ?

Denis

Hi everyone. i apologize in advance if this topic has already been handled, but i didn't find any thread talking about my issue.
I explain my problem:i got an lg 2x and i'm running cm10 and it's actually pretty good imho. Yesterday eve i tried to install Miui 4.2, just to see how it was like. No problems during installation itself, but when i rebooted my phone, it stucked on the animation (the M with loading bar beneath) for hours (just saying). Then i tried with Django and Hd Nova: same thing. I did a full wipe (cache+dalvik) and i still don't get where my mistake is. Might you help me out please? Thank you all!

It depends what cm10 version you are running
There are versions for old and new bootloader,if you are running on official cm10 then you are on old and you need to switch to new bootloader and then you can use new bootloader rom's,there are tutorials in general section how to do it :good:
Hello,
So, I flashed official ICS to Optimus 2x P990. After that, LG software recongnized my phone and offered to update the
phone once again to XXXB something version of ICS.
Now, don't get me wrong. Update to B changed nothing, the phone still lags. It lags without having anything else installed.
Are there ways to overcome lag problems? I was given this old phone by a relative to learn Android dev since emulator is slow
but experience while testing is also horrible.
If you switch Chrome on, it takes forever to load and lags terribly when you try to type some search term to url bar.
I am interested in fixing this phone before I will need to buy another.
Regards.

Hi.
This is my first post but i'll try to answer your question.
Stock ICS rom is laggy indeed. Try to use custom ROM. I'm now using Paranoid Android ROM 4.45 and it went smoother.
Cheers.
You can use this modified ICS ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-2x/development/rom-slimfaststockpluss-t2883798
It's so much better.
Hello,
I'm newbie about this stuff. I was using this phone with CM10.1 and I need to restore it to the stock ROM if possible. So I checked CM updates and installed 7.1 but didn't want that tho. Anyway if anyone has a little time to guide me with restoring to custom ROM, I would be grateful.
I Googled but don't understand many thing
