I actually had an issue where after flash, my launcher (launcher pro) and gapps (including market) mysteriously disappeared.

Restored a backup I had made 20 mins earlier, re-flashed, and it works fine now. Sometimes it just takes more than 1 try.

Been running it for two days and haven't had an issue since.

My advice is if you run into any issues, restore and try again. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Do you have an sd card that is properly formatted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
...

Following your link to your forum. I noticed this comment by SilentInfidel:

"Is there any possibility that this change was done deliberately as a work-around for some kind of bug that couldn't be fixed in time for release, such as a race condition? This is the first dual-core Android device after all. Of course I don't have any evidence of this, and I'm just trying to think of why LG might have done it."

Glad I read this before jumping the gun on this patch. I really appreciate the effort but there are certainly reports popping up of unintended consequences... With the way device manufacturers are rushing beta-quality phones onto the market I really wouldn't be surprised if LG would used a technique like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skeeterflea:
I've been back to stock for 3 days and the GPS is working fine. I do believe my gps woes were attributed to the patch as it functioned properly ummediatley after removing whereas my data speeds were still bad. I know the data was not attributed to the patch but more than likely just Knoxville's network. I think I'm going to give the patch another attempt...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Did patch last night. No issues so far...

But forgot to make a backup so if I want to revert I can't . Woops

Anyone wanna post the original? Just in case? thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xeven305:
so far seems to work smoothly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
any reason to not flash on one of the roms out like eagles rom or CM7 nightlies? Not sure about cm7 but eagles rom doesnt seem to state in OP that it has this fix built in..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
Its been stated in the CM7 thread that this doesn't play nice with CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Yes don't flash this with cm7 unless you like bootloops :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
It's in the sticky.. as well as easily found via a forum search.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
eagles ROM issue is only that since the patch is in the framework it changes the clock color back to black instead of white.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
Does this mean we will not be able to flash any CM7 roms if we have this patch? I flashed this patch the day it was released and have had none of the problems I have been hearing about. (knock on wood) If this is the case has anyone posted the original file to put back yet? I still haven't seen it posted yet, or any other way to reverse the patch?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rjhay22:
You can flash any rOM over this patch, after you wipe, you just can't flash this over CM (according to jlevy). You make a nandroid backup before you flash another rom and revert back to it if something goes wrong, or you can also get a stock rom from a thread somewhere in the devlopment section of this forum. I would shoot you a link but I'm on my phone atm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
I already have all the files for restoring and all that and understand the nandroid process fine but what i am confused about is now what exactly it is I cant flash this over?? YOu said CM. ???? Im really lost cause this is the thread for the patch. Thanks

Wait, now I think I see what he is saying. Dont flash this patch if yo already have CM7 flashed. WOW, man I feel stupid, Thanks :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rjhay22:
LOL its all good brother, thats how we learn though we ask questions or read a lot if we have lots of time to spare lol. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
More to the point, this patch should be completely unnecessary if you're running CM7. This patch was made specifically for LG's poorly built software. CM7 isn't based on LG's software at all (unless you count drivers and the like). This is why CM7 bootloops if you try to flash this. It has a completely different services.jar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boostedfern:
Mine gets stuck at the LG boot screen and wont go passed that. I wiped everything also
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Any usage updates from those who have been running this for over a week now? Still running solid?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
Just flashed this over the GB update. Will see what happens!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eleeo037037:
Cool I'll keep an eye on your results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skeeterflea:
I was running this patch for several days fine after the second application. As for noticeable difference ... /shrug maybe but negligible to my eyes. I'm now on CM nightly 8.1and lubbing it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] camelflage:
I've been running this patch on the stock rom for awhile and have had no issues.

On another note, I've been having this wi-fi issue (keeps breaking, even rebooting sometimes does not work) out of the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
Two days, and no feedback... Id say it borks gingerbread., lol. However, this definitely needs to be created for gingerbread, because logcat is wigging out once again the same as it did with original services.jar

Edit... Wow. I didn't realize how unclear my post was... I was referring to the dexopt fix for 2.2... I can see in logcat that gsmdata connection tracker is polling every 1000 milliseconds again :-/ on the 2.3 roms...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eleeo037037:
Yeah I'm on the GB leak and the ROM is all good but still laggy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MadeeBee:
Not sure what's causing this...

Anyone else have this issue?

It took me a few days to even realize this was happening...

After making this update to my G2X, I was unable to get into Setting --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Network. It force closed and I never got in. It also disconnected my cell for a couple of seconds then the phone is able to reconnect.

This was the first update I made to my G2x after rooting and putting recovery - and I can verify after those 2 initial to steps Mobile Networks was still working.

Doing a factory reset doesn't help. I finally ended up flashing with TGA_Gunman's stock NANDROID restore of Froyo 2.22 to get that setting working again.

I did notice that everything was considerably smoother, so I would love to put this back on...

Can someone else who has this update check to see if they have the same issue?

EDIT

Just realized I was applying the catalystcorp throttle update with the paulobrien fix. That's the update that cause the issue. Using this update alone worked without a hitch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayohwhy:
i have this patch and just checked and my mobile networks menu is working just fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MadeeBee:
Figured it out...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jawknee530:
I've been taking my time with this phone since getting it last week. Got it rooted, then used Nvflash to put CWR on it which is further than I'd ever gone before on an Android phone. Today I got the courage to use CWR to flash this update. Jumpin jehosafats this phone is fast now. I could not be happier. Thanks to everyone here that makes things like this possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
This is not for ginger bread leak?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
Nope cause it was already fixed in GB afaik.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Do these kind of things get lost after a flash, like flashing CM7? Or after a wipe?

Also how can i revert this without having to restore a backup, like if i want to flash CM7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaliscojorge:
I flashed this fix on my wives phone and afterwards noticed that it wouldn't mount the internal sd anymore. It would mount external sd just fine. I could see the internal through droidexplorer but not mounted through usb mode on my computer. Anybody else have this problem or was it just her phone being weird? We returned that phone already due to sleep of death and really noticeable screen bleed, I just want to know if this is a known problem before I flash this on her next g2x.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
Unless you factory reset or reload the out of the box ROM you dont ever need to think about this again... So without getting into the nuts and bolts here its basically just a patch to fix some 'null' files that were left messy by Tmob/LG during deployment. The erraneous files were scraps that just bogged everything down. it's like you have 2 pieces of paper with data on it... but I hide them in a folder with 30 blank sheets and you gotta rifle through them to grab your 2 with data. *Sesame Street anaology, keepin it real :)*

SOOooo if you have a "stock tmob G2x" then this will fix that error as it only flashes a very small piece of the bootup (I think its the sys doc or something). THerefore if you're flashing ROM and kerns then you have crushed this a long time ago and only if you FacReset or reload the OEM ROM will you need to do this again. The 2.3 GB leak is obviously pre-rooted and bundled right, so hands have been in it already hence no need to worry about this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pat123:
Sorry if it's already answered, but is this thing included in 2.2-based custom ROMs like Eagles Blood 2.2?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Serious_Beans:
I used this patch again, after getting another g2x, and it still makes swype lag, I don't know why, but this patch improves everything except swype lol. so I'm waiting for GB!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] everest.deth:
I know its been asked before but i didnt really see the answer, can we flash this fix on eagle's blood (froyo) with faux'd kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
You can but the clock in notification will be black because this is made for stock froyo with white status bar and eb has the black status bar.

G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
There's a whiteclock version of it over on the ultimate rom thread on page 14 i believe
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JDM22bSTi:
is this an entire rom to flash? or is this more like an app to install? not gonna bother downloading on phone for now... will dl when I get home to my pc... but yea just wanted to know where to start... just go to nvflash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Serious_Beans:
You just flash it in CWM like any other zip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
It almost feels like this should be a sticky at the top for those running a stock rom.

It makes a big difference.

Stop wasting time and try this if you are on the stock rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chk230:
can i flash this on the leaked Gingerbread stock rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookoomang:
noob question. the steps i took wondering if it was right

connect phone to computer

download the file

open the sd card folder and drag it over

disconnect phone

and turn off phone

hold on to power and volume down

go to install thru sd card

click the file i downloaded and let it install and reboot?

thats what i did and its working fine. the boot was kinda slow though at the beginning.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] everest.deth:
that is pretty much the way, reboot is supposed to be a tad extended. While running it will be much more snnapy though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I had that problem on my old G2X with external sd card using this patch. I am afraid to try this on new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Squid6290:
I flashed this today, and noticed a huge difference. My Calengoo widget doesn't flicker 4 times at startup anymore, and when I want to add a shortcut from the app menu, the app list pops up immediately. Thank you very much for this, Paul!

When/If the Tmo GB update comes out, will this patch prevent an OTA update?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
No. It just toggles some setting to turn off the debug mode.

This prevents slowdowns and reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Don't know if my rom already has this patch. I flashed it and my phone is in a boot loop now. Had to restore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Anybody who used to get slowdown/reboots before this patch no longer get them at all? Or does it still reboot occassionally but less frequent? I want to know if this will stop the reboots permanently or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
I have never had any issues like that. Though it seems my phone ( got it from wind, canada) comes with a later version of the firmware . V11 vs v10 in US
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
You might want to talk to one of the developers to see if they can explain you, how to retrieve the firmware, to make a flashable file and flash it into our phones

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrfaulkin:
Thanks for this patch. Big difference! You will be on the grey T-Mobile G2X screen for a while. Just wait. When you do boot to the main screen there is a noticeable speed difference. Everything came up a lot faster and scrolling is smoother and faster. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Thanks so much!!!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
A noticeable difference in the manage application settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allofusjw:
re: last question

that folder is only relevant for flashing from recovery. always ignore it if you're just copy/pasting
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Just flash it through CWR, much easier that way :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xl DIGITAL lx:
Well I'm trying to download it through my phone. It only downloads a couple bytes of the file. I'll probably download it when I get home.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
WORKING so good :) !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] arielext:
as suspected LG's stock android experience isn't that stock :(

The rest of the world can flash paul's vanilla android roms to experience the g2x ...

We're all in the same boat, in the us you just have a different RIL and partition layout.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
Just flashed through CWM and once rebooted it took about 30 seconds to go off the G2X screen then everything just seemed to be much snappier. :)

So Thank You paulobrien :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
CWR sees it as a corrupted zip.

I can see it in Astro. But CWR can not see it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Don't try to download it over the phone. Download it from your pc and move it to an ext sd. I couldn't get it to download properly over my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dantheman_:
I downloaded on my computer and then moved it into my Dropbox dir. I was then able to move it to my phone. The only problem is that it's downloaded to the internal SD first. Had to copy it over to my External SD card. Really weird that I wasn't able to find the external SD Card in /mnt. It's actually at /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD. Weird..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
Probably will, a little bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
If I'm not mistaken, cwm does not recognize the internal sdcard, you have to use an external one. I could be wrong, and it might have changed, but thats what I understand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Test2 uses external SD...test 1 used internal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
nice tweak !

[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
I'm not using either of the tests.. I used nvflash to flash the clockwork recovery.img

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
Flashed it, wow at the difference! Homescreen stutter is gone!

Please use a better file host next time, that site is garbage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
The latest CWM is Test2. Your command when you flashed CWM should have looked like this:

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

[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
What about rom manger?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I am not sure which version of CWM Rom Manager flashes. I used the nvflash method. I would assume Test2 though as that is the latest version.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pookeee:
So a noob questiion here... As im used to flashing roms on my HD2 and not tweaks.... so in ROM MANAGER i install this file thru "install ROM from SD Card"???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
Go to rom manager then choose reboot into recovery.. Then in cwm choose install zip from sd card. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dagaetch:
For this update, using ROM manager choose 'reboot into recovery'. Then when you get to the recovery menu, using the volume and power keys navigate to 'install .zip from SD card' and select the file. Pretty easy, took about 2min all told and its definitely faster on mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pookeee:
Thanks will try now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
Rom manager shows 3.0.2.7 can I flash thru there

Can someone mirror this on filesonic or megaupload, as I can't get it to download a clean file. I get bad file in CWM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Is the size "640"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Minker17:
Wow. Noticeable speed difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:
There is. Cool reboot application call 2x reboot. A few pages back

It allows you to boot into recovery, if the rocker combo doesn't work on your phone

G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
I too would like to know this. I don't plan on flashing a recovery until it is a bit more ironed out and necessary when a ROM is released. I would love to know what files to replace exactly and just use Root Explorer, also so I can know what files to back up if I ever want to revert to stock. Thanks!

Edit:

I read the script within the update.zip file and it seems to be the file located at /system/framework/services.jar

I am no expert on update.zips but the script seems pretty simple so I'm pretty confident in that one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Extract the file.

copy services.jar to /system/framework
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pychobj2001:
So does this create dex files better or just at the right time? just curious, but yeah it's much snappier, before when i opened up my app drawer, there would always be a tiny bit of lag, i have almost 300 apps so u can expect it..but now, when i hit it no lag...and after a while before, after running lots of apps..it would go crazy laggy, the whole phone...but now when i go app happy it doesn't lag...

Really noticed the difference. Bootup took normal time and has been snappy since. Before I would notice it would start to crawl and would require a reboot. I have the new SGS2 Windmill Live Wallpaper and it was noticeable when things got slow.

Also I'm noticing Launcher Pro App Draw fly-in animation is a lot smoother now (still not as fast as the stock launcher) but still. This is the first phone where the stock launcher was the fastest. Hope they update soon but this is another topic.

I've been away from Android for a while - got a G1 on launch day and used it for a year then went back to windows mobile.

I flashed CWM from rom manager and flashed it that way without a problem. After flashing the recovery thru rom manager and you want to erase it, just delete the update.zip file and it is gone. I did that earlier today and reflashed it again thru rom manager and used it to flash this update. NO PROBLEMS.
