I would like this as well. I am looking at flashing a rom with good battery life. There is no direct way of finding out how the battery peformance is in these roms. Everyone always talks about the overclock I just want stable with 2 days battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] alktlr:
I have got good battery experience with Slick2X ROMs for both Froyo and Gingerbread. I got around 3 days or 1% per hour in sleep mode.

Gingerbread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061532

Problems: Slow GPS fix.

Froyo -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076454

Current I use Pauls rooted stock gingerbread ROM, which gives around 2 days between charges.

Question with CM7

Hi guys, I have 3 of these phones (My GF, my brother and one for me), I rooted the 3 phones installed CWM, that's all good. I flashed MIUI just to check it out (looks beautiful but I'm used to CM7) then I flashed CM7 on my phone and it's working fine.

Then I flashed CM7 on my GFs phone, GAPPS and video-enabled GTALK but I can't find the Market (I DID FLASH GAPPS, WTF??!!). Then I flashed MIUI on her phone just to see if the Market would be there and IT IS.

Any ideas? why does the Market NOT show on CM7 if I flashed it?. Like I said my phone is fine (Market, GAPPS, GTALK, everything) but in my GFs phone Market just does not appear (200% sure I flashed GAPPS).

hardware error detection?

hi,

a lot of users are experimenting with ICS on their o2x.

i am one of then. i tried smartflashing rerooted my phone a.s.o. but stil it doesnt seem to work as it should and other users don't Report errors like mine. is there a tool probaly from lg that can detect hardware errors? or is there a developer among us who can make such a tool?

or is this Impossible to make?

when there is such a tool could it be mentioned in the List?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:

Do you mean we need nvflash to the original firmware and root the phone again before flashing cm10?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Depends on what you are using now. You only need to use nvflash if you're coming from Stefan's v28 ROMs. Or you can use Full Brick Repair tool (which is nvflash, but directly installs cm10 and CMW) and then just update to the latest CM10 rom as normal.

Good topic you got here, nice overview :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
A question to people going back and forth between Tonyp's ICS (original GB layout of course) and CM10:

How does the fact that we have created a new folder for the external SD (external_sd) affect CM10? I suppose CM10 uses the same folder as before (_ExternalSD), right?

Should I keep both in my root folder?

I have been on Tonyp's ROM for the last 3 days and now I want to try CM10. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
In CM10, by default the external sd is not shown as a folder. It's structure is /mnt/sdcard0 (internal sd) and /mnt/sdcard1 (external sd).
[LG Optimus 2x] SamReciter:
Hi, would really appreciate to see some enlightning list or comparison of the differences between the ROM's.

I'm thinking of installing v28g rom form harsh and tonyp http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1959545

I have few questions.

1.To install this rom I just need to wipe data/factory reset + install in recovery?

2.If I want to go back to cm9/GB etc. I just flash that cm9/GB rom in recovery?

3.Is this rom any faster than cm7/cm9/miui or some GB roms?

4.If I install this rom,will I have CWM recovery or I'll have to install it with rom manager?

5.Does the camera have any bugs(crashing,bad quality etc.)?

6.Can I install google now on this rom or any other mod?

Next time please ask in Q&A section. Answer to questions 1,2,4,6 are yes. Read the OP of the thread tonyp's thread, all the info are there.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
Since I upgraded to Touch CWM (6.0.15) I have been unable to do anything.

Backup doesn't work well, restore doesn't work well, and I can't flash zip files.

I am afraid I just bricked my phone.

I was unable to flash any zip except for tonyp's V28E lite ICS ROM, but even then, it would not start. At the beginning it only gave me a message that encyption is corrupted and it asked me to do a factory reset, but the button to do it wouldn't work.

I rebooted several times, I went into CWM and tried to wipe user data/cache/etc, but each time it showed me the same message (encryption corrupted, please do factory reset).

So at the end I rebooted holding Vol-down, and now it shows the S/W Upgrade screen...... (Please wait while upgrading...).

Did I just screw up majorly?
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
OK, false alarm. :)

I removed the battery to get out of that "S/W Upgrade screen" and my P990 didn't die.

And then I managed to flash the latest CM10, which actually is great. :laugh: :D

[LG Optimus 2x] orbital_71:
Imperticus, i think in ur op should let ppl know it was advisable to resize system partition as we know cm build eat space with every update. And also if ppl flash a hudge size gapps they gonna had fc for some of the gapps application. Tks
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Will add thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
On the first post I now read that there are 2 options:

OLD GB BOOTLOADER/PARTITION ROMs

NEW ICS BOOTLOADER/PARTITION ROMs

Isn's there also the 3rd option to keep the old bootloader but with new (big) partition layout so that you can flash bigger zips?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Yes, but that's just increasing the /system/ partition size, the layout/structure per se remains the same, so the same ROMs will be still be flashable. Where as in the new one the layout itself is very different.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
Agreed, but what I meant is that maybe you should somehow tell the people that they can flash big ROMs without having to changing the bootloader, just the partition size.

Just a suggestion. ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
there is no difference according to stability & problems...

only + for the new bootloader is a fast charging via usb...

old bootloader battery charging is a bit slow, but it can be speeded up with kowalski manager app which comes with kowalski kernel...

most of the developers also do rom's only for new bootloader, or both (if they have time to convert) - but that is also not a problem since there is an old/new bootloader rom converter (search the forum)

i myself am on the old bootloader (Tonyp's The Rom v20, based on cm10.2 with kowalski latest kernel for old bootloader as well)

in the attempt to back to life my External 32GB SD card I used the "partition external sdcard" tool inside CWM 6.0.2.5 (I'm on Pengu's CM10 NEW BootLoader). Anyway the CWM changed the internal SD card partition !!!

Could you tell me which is the correct settings for "Ext Size" and "Swap Size" ? (NEW bootloader)

Use Spyrosk AIO tool and nvflash your partisions for old or new bootloader. You can even customise. Then choose recovery and flash rom again. You'll be fine :)

I have had the same issue on mine. It occurs intermittently. Not always, but sometimes. And when the screen is turned off, I push the power button and nothing happens for about 3-5 seconds. Sometimes longer.

I do also have the fingerprint security feature on, though I am not sure if that that has something to do with it. However there is another problem with the fingerprint security.

Sometimes I want to check the time so I just turn on my screen and quickly turn it back off. But the screen turns right back on cuz it recognized my click as a fingerprint. However since it is too short to be recognized, it just turns my screen back on and says to try again. I try to turn the screen off again and the same thing. This also happens on occasions.

They need to make the power button better so that ways it does not recognize a screen turn off as a fingerprint swipe.

Hi,

I don't know where to obtain this information, so maybe you can help me :)

I just arrive in Canada (ottawa) for at least one year. I would like to take a smartphone but the price here is expensive ! My old HTC magic is not compatible with most provider (i try some providers : some ask for a canadian ID and i just have a visa, and other told me the frequency will not work on my phone...)

Well, maybe i could take a 3-years contract with telus for exemple as they don't ask for canadian ID card. And if i return to france after one year, just close my bank account in canada and don't pay for breaking the contract ... ? Do i risk something ? i want to be able to return to canada in the futur lol

Thank you :)
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
Without credit history, who on earth is going to give you a phone up-front? I reckon they would want ID, or a large deposit... And if you break the contract, you may find that if you return to Canada, no cellphone provider would serve you, as they might make a credit report against you...

Not worth it, and I reckon you will find nobody will give a 3 year contract without full Canadian ID, or a large deposit to cover phone, and much of the contract payments...

Mr recommendation is to buy a phone you want to use for a long time. Get the contract and when you return home cancel the contract pay the ETF and unlock the phone for use at home
[General Topics] Zaslav:
Go to a wind store or mobilicity. You pay more upfront for the phone but there is no contracts involved and you can cancel whenever you want.

What about just buying a phone outright and not signing a contract. Is that allowed by the Canadian carriers? If so that would be the best route I would imagine.

In france, you can break a contract freely if you give a proof that you leave the country. I have friends who move to england, and SFR just ask for a working proof and cancel the contract.

Thank everybody for your answer, wind mobile could be nice, but the coverage zone is very small and i would like to use internet during my travel all around the canada. I will check for mobilicity ...
[General Topics] freakzone:
Either go to the provider and explain your situation to them, or just buy a second hand device.

They will either find you in France or they will not allow you to go back to Canada in future, or you'll get a really bad credit history, or something nasty I can't think of at the moment. Not worth it.

if the .apk is available on the market, it should install no problem. otherwise, the .apk was probably written with some custom code to work on the specific device/stock rom.
