[General Questions and Answers] adgre1:
I think I posted this in the wrong place earlier:

A friend just bought a tablet here in China preloaded with Android 2.1. Its setup to be used in China, which has given me problems in the past on my Android phone. Is there anyway to go about updating it to the new version of Android and maybe even getting rid of the Chinese app store and adding flash support (right now it says the device doesn't support it, even though it looks like it meets requirements)? You guys have been helpful in the past so thanks in advance for any advice.
[General Questions and Answers] rudy3678:
Did you try connect the Onda-Vi10 customer service?

How about they said solve about this... In China, i remember my friend told me they also improved the Android at a fast speed.

Can you tell me how the camera is? shutter speed in low light and recording frames in low light? sorry my g2 kinda sucks when it comes to low light.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spovik:
Not that great. Getting ready to put a post about it but flipping through the threads first to see if it's been posted before (search is broken) :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
It's ok. Just ok...not bad, not good, just average.

I wish there can be an android phone for once that has a camera as good as the iPhone's. Then again....Samsung Galaxy S 2 just might....

I've taken some indoor shots on night mode and it really brightened up the images. The color tone was a lot more accurate as well by doing so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cliffy15:
Just got my new G2X this morning. I came from a N1.

I generally like the phone and got it to address a couple of problems I had with the N1 (handset speaker went out and I only could talk via speaker or BT, sticky buttons, and continuous switching between EDGE/3G).

I can overlook the display bleed, the fact that I HATE where the power button is located, trackball, LED notifications (boy, will I miss those) and can (I think) tolerate the lack of early android updates.

There are couple of other things that REALLY bug me, though, and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing it and if there were any solutions. (Yeah, I searched the 'net today but haven't come up with any thing elegant). I don't have these problems on the N1 so could probably tolerate it and return the G2X until more appropriate hardware was out. (Maybe sensation? Although I don't like large screens on my phone)

1. Bluetooth lag. There is a significant (sometimes 1-2 seconds) lag between the time my phone generates sounds and when my BT headset picks them up (Jawbone Icon).

2. BT/Handset simultaneous sounds. I liked the fact that when my BT headset was connected, the handset speaker would mute and all sounds would only come through the headset. This does not happen that way with the G2X - is there a way to change it?

3. So I have two places for storage and by default, most of the apps point to the internal one and can't be changed to point to the external (I was able to point the camera storage to external at least, whew!). Any known workaround?

4. Task killer can't kill certain apps. I get a message saying that 2.2 didn't allow 3rd party apps to cancel processes. Never noticed this on the N1.

5. Car Home - I'm sure a lot of people find this useful, but I don't. Is there any way to supress this from coming up? Sometimes I get it when I connect my BT headset. At other times it doesn't show up until I get a call.

I really want to like this phone, but aside from 4G, it seems like it isn't much more than a minor improvement over my N1...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lance713:
I can't help you on 1-3, but...

4) Task killers on android do more harm than good.*

5) Root the phone. It's REALLY simple. Download some drivers for your PC, download the program, connect your phone, run it, boom, rooted. Download Titanium Backup, find Car Home, freeze it.

more info on rooting
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
I myself coming from a N1 I keep looking at the N1 wanting to reach for it and throw my SIM back in and cry holding it. Wish I could put new guts in it and make it more update.

1. the track ball my thumb keeps reaching for and its not there

2. Two storage places I dont like either

3. The bleed isn't bad on mine but Im going to wait a week and take it back and try another g2x out before my buyer's remorse period is up.

4. I'm very surprised at you coming from a N1 that you use task killers very surprised and I'm gonna keep my eye on your.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I have a BlueAnt Q2 and have no issues with Bluetooth. Phone to headset and headset to phone are almost instantaneous.

My G2 used to work that way too. The G2X and my headset work like yours. It drives me crazy but I don't think there's a fix. Oddly, in my car, it play signals through the car's speakers when I wish it wouldn't. So that seems to indicate the connected device has something to do with it.

You could disable it under settings with HTC phones. Settings on the G2X take you to Android settings. I kill the process when I reboot the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cliffy15:
Thanks for the info!

lance713: yeah, assuming this phone makes it past the return date, I'm going to have to root it. I was never really was into custom roms, but I think I may start soon.

lance713/wondercoolguy: btw, I don't use task killers for much ... but coverage is spotty here (Hawaii) and I kill things when they get interrupted mid-task because they wait and "search" for awhile, killing my battery. I also kill gallery and messages when they have the occasional hang.

Guess I'll have to get used to no trackball/pad. My only other consideration was the Sensation (I really don't want most of the Sense UI) and that doesn't have one, either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] retropcdos:
Rooting and flashing with different rom, will not fixed the screen bleeding problem or charging problem, that causes the phone to reboot. Those are hardware flaws

To avoid the 0.0 kb problem after flashing Kyrillos v4.1.

Make sure you disconnect the usb storage after putting the fs.convert file in the android folder.

And then disconnect USB cable and Reboot.

Flashing the stock JPF Rom always helps for a better performance though.
[Galaxy 3 General] Halco:
Ty for this, i'll try this evening and feedback

EDIT : Nice, i retry to flash it and i finally have my memory :). Thx !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctso:
Read Me First!

This will get CWM on your device's recovery partition and wipe out your stock recovery. If you wish to keep things simpler, just install ROM Manager and "flash" the T-Mobile G2x recovery from there, it doesn't actually overwrite your stock recovery, but it will still let you boot into CWM recovery, only by using ROM Manager, of course.

** Not responsible for any damage done, obviously. **

Instructions

Here is an initial test of CWM recovery for the G2X. You need to use nvflash to flash this, I've packaged it up for you and included a nice bash script to flash it, on Linux.

Pull battery.

Hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN

Plug in USB.

The phone won't do anything, but you should see it under 'lspci'.

Then grab http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/ctso/g2x/nvflash-recovery.tgz

Extract it, and run flash-recovery.sh

You're not stuck on a software upgrade screen, when your computer says the recovery image was transferred successfully, just pull USB and you're done.

Changes

test2 - Properly mount /sdcard to the external SD.

test2 - Fix device name, should be p999 not p990.

test2 - Do not use custom recovery ui, navigate using VOL UP/DOWN and Power to select. (BOARD_HAS_NO_SELECT_BUTTON).

test1 - Initialness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lance713:
Wow, this was fast. I'm already loving the development on this phone.

Too sleepy to try something I'm not familiar with, but thank you SO MUCH for the quick recovery!!! I was afraid I was going to regret leaving the N1 dev scene, but seriously, I don't think I'll notice a difference...

[edit: can't do it anyways.... running windows 7 here.]

[edit 2: wait, now I'm confused. Is the entire thing linux only or just the script? I feel extremely stupid right now.]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctso:
You can run nvflash on Windows, i just don't have the files handy. Just the tools I provided are linux-only, maybe someone will whip up a quick windows version.

Trying to do this in Windows...almost got it... but I need the NVidia APX driver in order for Win7 to recognize the device. Searching...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:

Based on the flash-recovery.sh script above, is there a need for a fastboot.bin file as well?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctso:
whoops, added it, redownload

For me i have been on the upgrade screen for two - three minutes with no activity, how low is this supposed to take.

also can someone pm me the original framework-res.apk i kind of foobar'd android :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Same here, stuck on upgrade please wait screen for some time now... not sure what to do !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Nevermind it worked !!!!!!!!!!!

It was stuck on the wait screen, but i just unplugged and rebooted and it was find. Then I powered down and booted into recovery and low and behold i have ClockWorkMod !!!!

Awesome thank you !!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Here's a link to the Windows nvflash and the NVIDIA APX driver:

http://android.modaco.com/content/l...lash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/

As OP instructed: Pull battery. Put battery back in. Hold down both Volume buttons while you plug in USB. It should be recognized by Windows as an Nvidia APX device and it will search for drivers. Point it to the the driver folder when Windows asks you where it is. Once the driver is installed, run this command from command prompt:

"nvflash.exe" --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-star-test2.img

My phone was stuck on a please wait screen, but after 10 minutes I unplugged it and all was fine. (I ran this in Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit inside a VmWare Fusion virtual machine on a Mac)

Boot into recovery by holding down Power and Volume Down. Volume buttons will scroll up/down and power button will choose selection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
watching...................
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Just Yourshadow:
Using the windows 7 method, it shows that it sent everything over but when i try to go into recovery it just pops up with the S/W Upgrade screen
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
I can't seem to get the NVIDIA APX device part to come up - Windows does nothing when I plug in the USB with both volume up and down held...

EDIT: I don't know WTF the deal is with this thing but it really doesn't like to install drivers for crap... Earlier it refused to recognize ADB then after I left the phone hooked up for a few minutes and was searching for info, it suddenly recognized ADB and installed the driver. Now the first time I tried this, it didn't work. Second battery pull, it works perfectly other than the fact that Windows didn't prompt me for a driver and just said it failed so I had to do it from Device Manager.

Either way, it didn't work. Just like the last person, I was taken right back to the S/W Update screen using the Windows script.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bamabruin:
Would you recommended Partitioning the SD card (using Rom Manager)?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] profresh:

Sorry for posting in the wrong section but i screwed up and need a hand here :-/

I tried screwing with the Framework.apk and stuff when i reboot the phone i'm just in a constant boot loop i only installed the Rom manager recovery so i can't accses my back up i come from the Vibrant and i ODINed a crap load of times id there any way i can do it with NVflash????????

Any help will be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Maybe a factory reset.... vol + power i belive

G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I think factory reset just deletes user data - it doesn't restore any system files. I could be wrong though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buddahlou:
Yea i tried that and nothing... I've gotten it to a stock recovery were it gives me an option to do a facory reset but the Power button doesn't work to select the option a tad bit frustrating :-/ my fault though...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Nope.

Here's what I've found:

USB unplugged:

Volume Down + Power = Recovery (only if flashed through NVFlash)

USB plugged EVEN with battery removed:

Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (System Update Screen)

Volume Up + Volume Down + Plugging in = NVFlash Mode (call it what you want)

If Volume Up + Volume Down + Power gets you to recovery, its a coincidence and not necessary.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
Is it possible that Power+Volume Up+Volume Down is the key combination required to get into Clockwork Recovery on a fakeflashed device? That could explain how some people are getting into it even though they didn't use the NVFlash method.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i've never held both buttons. just vol. down and power. i've flashed test1,test2 and 3.0.2.7 through nvflash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bkrill:
I'm not completely understanding the NVflash method. I just downloaded CWM fromt he market and flashed recovery instead of NVflashing but need to return my phone to exchange due to screen bleeding. How do i NVflash the .bin file of the original recovery. Step by step instruction would be helpful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
If you only did cwm through rm, just delete the update.zip from your internal SD.

Sent from space
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tq745:
i noticed that the other thread for flashing clockwork through rom manager has been deleted. is there a reason as to why it's been deleted? i'm asking because i didn't do the nvflash method so i'm wondering if flashing through rom manager is bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RueTheDay:
It was moved from Development to the General forum.

Flashing from ROM Manager isn't "bad" but it just copies an update.zip, it doesn't actually write to the phones storage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bkrill:
So it still works normally it just writes it to my SDCard?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Anyone able to get adb to recognize their device while in recovery? I've spent a couple of hours today trying to figure it out and no go.

Edit: Referring to getting it to work with Windows XP. On Windows7 and Linux it works fine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i know with the test2 image, you had to have superuser running to get adb shell su. not sure about recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
I've got superuser running. All the commands works fine, just not in recovery (in XP)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gubidi:
I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but Modaco has put up a ClockworkMod Recovery Beta on their forums. Does this accomplish the same thing as the NVFlash method or just the ROM Manager method?

http://android.modaco.com/content/l...-clockworkmod-recovery-for-the-lg-optimus-2x/

Edit- I didn't read the Bold red text saying it wouldn't work on the G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
many are saying it is working just fine.. actually, I think everyone but 1-2 guys were successful w/ either the nvflash, the rom manager, and/or both routes. The only situation I see is the difference of how it boots into recovery. There's some other testing going on still tho, which I don't fully comprehend (see a cpl pages back). I'm no expert on the matter, but I'm wise enough to be patient and let the experts do what they do best... dev.

The one area that is a bit confusing for me is with nvflash, you can boot into it via hardware from the phone being in the off position. This could be beneficial if the phone is stuck and won't boot. But then again, w/ the rom manager's software option, recovery is done via software and the same key combinations will do a factory reset (from the phone being in the off position).. which is beneficial as well. Then, you could get cwm installed both ways, which installs 2 different versions of cwm, but there is a fix in this thread for that too. This eliminates the factory reset, which it seems the guys are testing to see if this would cause any challenges when updates are pushed out. At least that's what I'm gathering from reading this thread a handful of times.

(Test) it says... Test it is.. It's working just fine but still getting debugged/tested..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Hm... this is weird

So I followed instructions that I've pieced together from various posts (such as 17, and 90)

The test2.img included in the package provided in the OP flashes just fine, but when I try to flash the newer version of CM, I get stuck at "nvflash started," and nothing happens.

Here's what I did:

1)Dropped the new image into the same folder as nvflash, and the rest of the package in the OP.

2)Modified the command to reflect the new file name.

But no good, what am I missing??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
weird, it worked for me.. I held down the vol up and down buttons the whole time. for some reason it wouldn't work unless I did that. You sure you got the file name correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
my friend ! can you tell me please: I flash recovery by ROM manager. And I cant get to recovery mod by POWER+vol up-down.

Should I need to flash it normally with nvflash know?

Can I flash under my old recover (from ROM manager).?

THANK YOU !! BEST REGARDS !

________________________________

oh got it -"Volume Down + Power = Recovery (""""only if flashed through NVFlash"")

but another question: can i flash "NVFlash" under my old recovery from ROM manager?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
I'm getting really confused by all the key combination posts. Am I nuts or does the key combination required to get into recovery change depending on whether you've hard flashed (as opposed to fake flashed) CWM into the recovery partition?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Call_Me_Creep:
Is there anyone that can post a video in how to flash CWM using nvflash on Windows?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bronk93:
I got the drivers installed but when I go to flash the file I get an error that says fastboot.bin not found
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
If you follow the directions, you install NVFLASH.EXE in a different directory from the things that get loaded so it may be that you're executing NVFLASH from the directory into which you extracted it. What I did after extracting both sets of files (as directed in Paul's Windows post over on 2x.modaco.com) was change my directory to the one containing the data files (xxx.bin) and ran NVFLASH as ..\nvflash\nvflash.exe --bct .... <etc.>
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bronk93:
It was my fault, I'm a moron, just forgot to move the .bin file to the nvflash folder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snp304:
newb question. So if I am understanding this correctly. I have CMR through the ROM manager, can reboot into recovery, but cant save a backup due to not having a micro sd card yet. So when I get a sd card, the first thing I would want to do is make a back up?

Be gentle, this is the first phone I have rooted etc...

thanks in advance
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
That's what I'd do.

EDIT: That's what I *DID* :)

Anyone get fastboot working? I have boot.img for a custom kernel that was made but fastboot keeps giving me access denied.

do you have nvflash and the apx drivers properly setup? if so, i'll give you detailed instructions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Diceman4:
Why don't you just make it into a flashable zip file and not have to worry about fastboot at all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
this would be even easier for some....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allofusjw:
I cant get fastboot to do anything either. could you stick the boot.img into a clockwork backup folder and install it via advanced restore? The fastboot thing has been driving me crazy though. I don't yet have a grasp on the purpose of nvflash, but maybe you need to use that instead of directly using fastboot?

unplug your phone from the usb. leave the other end plugged in to the pc.

TAKE OUT THE BATTERY! hold down both volume buttons while plugging in the usb. you should hear the windows device connected sound. let go of the volume buttons.

open the command window by right clicking an empty area inside the nvflash folder,select "open command window here" . copy and paste this into the command window nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-star-test2.img .

make sure there are no spaces between emmc and _x8.bct. copying and pasting has done this to me.

now press enter on your keyboard. you should get a software update screen on your phone. and command prompt should say something like test2 sent successfully. unplug the usb. put the battery back in. press volume down and power AND HOLD BOTH FOR AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS. you should now be in custom recovery.
