[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Or do what I did. Try everyone's Kang! lol.

But yeah, very soon, I think it'll be a choice between these 2 kangs:

Temasek: commits-based kang. Pretty much a stable delivery of the nightly as we still get it regardless of buildbot status. And as you can see, Temasek is one pretty quick guy. Initially compiled for personal use, but his mediafire folder pretty much contains EVERYTHING you'll need to tinker with your O2X. So it's an awesome resource if you know your way around O2X (& Android) stuff.

Dakdroid: commits-based and cherry-pick kangs. Currently has 3 builds running. In a way, more public-friendly builds as he allows 3 options and changelogs for the public.

Ironically, I'm on Rusty's kang. As a disclaimer, he may or may not blind compile on his next kang build. So it has a "flash at your own risk" tag on it from now on. :p

Hope I was able to give justice to our kangers.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
Regarding the latest kernel, is that the one which is incompatible with Tasker? Or is that solved?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I don't plan on buying another P990, so it will be blind.

Ps. Don't call me a dev, I'm not even remotely close to justifying that. RC is a dev, I am a keyboard monkey who can run a few terminal commands.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
lol. If you're a keyboard monkey. Then I'm a keyboard rat.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I agree with Rusty!

Pls don't call us kang dev. We are nothing close to a dev.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Reworded to "kang droid" for now. (Cause I don't what to call you guys. :p)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
We are ordinary users so call by our nick here will suffice. ;)

Kang Droid sounds like robots.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I believe the general term is just "kanger" :D

e: Or what Temasek said
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
hmm, keyboard monkeys?

Slight increase: keyboard neanderthals

no, we have not become extinct ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] fitsnugly:
kanger [kahng-ger] noun : A person with enough skill to compile CyanogenMod from source, but generally does not have coding experience to provide fixes or support.

:D :D :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yay, I was right :D
[LG Optimus 2x] :
The tasker issue is not fixed yet. Look for upcoming Tasker beta and that might have a fixed. Root cause is found and Tasker needs to be fixed
[LG Optimus 2x] ron_gangte:
Why does "Tasker" work with IronKernel which is based on the .49 Kernel?:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
kanger it is. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] dakdroid:
$ definition diff

This patch resolves a error where dakdroid.isKanger() would return -1, should be 1.

Now you can count me in :)

Latest - No more official cm7 nightly build

https://plus.google.com/u/1/103712172077289099783/posts/9xBnN7tQJ2n
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
uh that could be a long wait for us:O
[LG Optimus 2x] :
IronKernel supports scaling frequencies and the CM7 kernel does not support it. If you head to tasker forum on google groups, you can see details. Will post links when I am at desktop
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Thats why you are worth your weight in gold. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Thegn:
Does anyone know if *CM* will officially support O2X? If so, who are working on our device?

The reason I'm asking is as I saw on CM_Arcee's Google+ page that he is working on LG P970, P920, and P925. No mention of P990, which makes me a bit worried...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Are you insane?
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Well, yes, he is. But not only that. He is insane, taking A LOT of drugs, gone to a wild party, drinking 8 bottles of tuiqila, doing a lot of pills and LSD, and after miraclous surviving all that ****, actually managed to write a post here.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
All thanks to RC, our o2x can be considered a finished cm device based on android 2.3.7. RC's other devices under his care like eg p970 isn't considered finished. U can see that p970 current nightly build is only at build 20.

So basically that's what I interpret RC's statement. He wanna finish what he started. We just wait for cm9 to start on our device. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Thegn:
Ah, ok! Maybe I misinterpreted his statement. But, I thought all the work he did now was mostly with ICS on those devices? He have already released ICS on Optimus 3D and Thrill.

But if it is about finishing up CM7 also for them, before starting up on P990, I'm relieved and patiently (hmmm... Well, mostly patiently :D ) waiting for CM9 on P990.

Have a nice weekend everybody!

Cheers,
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No he hasn't, he hasn't 'released' ICS for anything as the cameras aren't working yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Hmmm.. That`s what I understood as well ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
About the camera, I took a small clip in rather dim conditions, and the outcome was a 9fps "stop motion movie".

I understand that this is to keep the quality of the image and loose in fps.

But I really prefer the other way around. Before CM7 I had 30fps no matter what, and the outcome was not bat.

Is there a working mod for these roms? Or a file that I can edit to give me the requested outcome?
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I have another question. My CM7 set-up basically has:

1) 0725 RIL

2) Roboto ICS fonts

3) System Apps that I would normally uninstall because I don't use them (i.e. Live wallz)

4) And just earlier, the Bravia Engine Mod for O2X

My question is, what can I do so that I don't need to reflash (re-uninstall) my mods above everytime I flash a CM7 zip?

For number 1, I can simply place a check on the GetRil app and fix that. My workaround for number 3 is to freeze those apps (they stay frozen after a reflash, so that's kinda cool, but I would prefer a full uninstall).

So again... for numbers 2 to 4, is there an easier way to repeat them?
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
make you're own flash file?
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Yeah you're right. And I used to do that before. However, with the frequent flashing that I do, it felt that it was easier to flash my freshly downloaded CM7, then flash my other parts. :)

(Rather than open the freshly downloaded CM7, integrated my needed changes in different part of the zip, then flash it.)

Thanks for the reply anyway bud.
[LG Optimus 2x] Thegn:
My bad :o I apologize! I totally mixed it up. I read at a twitter status about Optimus 3D, and I mixed it up and thought an ICS build was released for that phone.

Sorry!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You need a /etc/custom_backup_list.txt file.

It wont help with things you uninstall (instead of removing, freeze them, that sticks after a flash anyway), but it will preserve any file you add to it.

Make it look like this:

/lib/lge-ril.so
/app/CustomApp.apk
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Turns out I already have that file with lib/lge-ril.so (probably GetRil placed it there).

So for the ICS fonts, I believe it's a matter of adding:

/system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf
/system/fonts/Droidsans.ttf
/system/fonts/Droidsans-Bold.ttf

But, any idea how I should add the Bravia Engine mod?

(noted on freezing apps, I'll stick to that method then.)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Wrong

Remove the system dir in your file. Should be in the format /sub dir of system / full filename with extension

Eg,

/fonts/xxyyzzz.ttf

Or

fonts/xxyyzzz.ttf
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
and as for the Bravia Engine Mod, I don't even know what that is :D

Basically, if it involves files in /system, stick it in the .txt

Edit: Googled it, add the following:

/etc/be_movie
/etc/be_photo
/etc/permissions/com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.xml
/framework/com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.jar
/lib/libswiqibmpcnv.so

BUT

You also need to add 2 lines to the build.prop, which you'd have to do manually:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Thanks Temasek and Rusty!, got it. Really appreciate you looking at the BE mod contents Rusty, in that case, a reflash doesn't look so bad anymore. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
What is BE mod?

Edit: didn't realized rusty consulted his dear friend at google. Ignore my question. :p

You shouldn't root and flash when you actually don't know what you're doing...

Hi, nothing like that for me, have used last nightly #204 during one month without problem. Have you tried to clean cache? Otherwise perhaps a problem with your memory card...
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Sounds like you or an app has performed a few ext4 optimizations, which can cause this problem (like disabling ext4 journaling). Flash it again and hopefully you have done a backup before.

Switching over to CM again.. (last was nightly 92 :P)

One question, what kernel do you guys recommend?

(Don't really have the time to read like 500 pages to find the correct answer..)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Stock cm kernel for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Who are you, and what have you done with the real Temasek? ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:

Same for me. stock CM kernel (from the kangs of course, which is 2.6.32.49) seems to work best for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:

in standby

, which drains battery fast(er) ?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I opened a thread in the General section which affects 824bb and the difference between "made in korea" and "made in elsewhere" models.

Maybe we could try to gather more information and try to bring this to LG - as it seems that we need an own baseband for our "made in korea" models.

Well.. LG won't listen anyway.. but more information might help a lot of users. I was close to sell my 2x because I wasn't able to get a decent call quality with CM7 - now I am very happy with my device :)

Yup. Official ROM looks bad to me.

Oh BTW, anyone has issue running live wallpaper with gingerbread launcher? I'm getting pretty bad lag when I'm in the app drawer with live wallpaper running. Its as if the CPU doesn't know it has to clock up or something and runs slowly. Running the 204 nightly.

Also, the rotary revamped lock screen doesn't fade in when unlocking the device. It just pops to the home without animation, anyone having the same issue?

Hey, I know you from modaco, don't I? :)

You should start camera and rotate your device, after that keep device in standby (screen off). After a while check sensor usage in spare parts, you will see camera and some other apps (that you have started) will be shown using sensor all the time!

Thx :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Not many can answer your question, including me. I don't code (I am learning :) ), I just compiles. Try asking pastime1971 or hackworks or even RC.
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
Oh, I think you misunderstood my question. I can code but dunno how to build. Build (compile) is an issue for me since I don't have a "how to" to build o2x from source. I can see wiki has guide to build other phone's cyanogenmod source, but not o2x. Maybe you could point me to where you start to learn the build process?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Oh...hehe. :)

Try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104523
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Building from source is a breeze, I must say temasek has been very active in building and supporting the community when the build servers are down.

For building the ROM, follow procedure at: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source and pick any device for getting the basic build tools. Once you do a 'repo sync', you will have 'android/system' and that serves as base folder for all future commands.

$ cd android/system

$ ln -s vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_p990.mk buildspec.mk

$ cd vendor

$ git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git lge

$ cd cyanogen

$ ./get-rommanager

$ cd ..

$ . build/envsetup.sh

$ brunch cyanogen_p990-eng

You will hopefully have a CWM flashable image

Edit (diff from link by temasek):

- I clone lge vendor and not pick from my phone, this is what nightly bundles for you

- There was no mention of buildspec.mk, not sure if it is required but I have done it though
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I have the props added to .repo/local_manifest.xml so that it updates them when syncing, and there is no need for the buildspec.mk file that I know of, I've never done that.

Also, just 'brunch p990' works fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
Perfect.

Let me see if I'm able to do crazy stuffs this weekend. I just dumped a logcat of stock ROM camcorder, so I might be able to hack some stuffs up :)

Oh BTW, I still have the weird issue where "Rotary revamped" lock screen does not fade in when unlocking using KANG 204-12. Could you guys try it out? Maybe I should post a video here.. :D

The same goes for live wallpaper with gingerbread launcher by eugene. It lagged pretty badly when I'm in the app drawer.

I used the Samsung 'secret wallpaper II' with Launcher2 and didn't find the app drawer particularly laggy. I had a ****-ton installed as well :D

Hi koboltzz, I do frequent MoDaCo more than this great forum, but unfortunately I don't recognise your username, perhaps you use a different avatar on MoDaCo?

I was going to try your suggestion, but I don't understand all of it. After launching the camera, and then rotating the handset, do I quit the camera app before going into standby?

Anyway, I've just downloaded Temaseks latest Kang, maybe this will cure the sensor issue you mentioned?
