I'm in the UK on (3 Three network) with 0405 BB+RIL, which doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere as everyone else is talking about 824 BB.

My 0405 is working fine, so should I just leave it alone, or try 824 BB for improved reception ?

What are other UK users on ?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
If its working fine, leave it alone unless u just wanna try new stuffs.
[LG Optimus 2x] hesian:
Thanks for the reply. I know I shouldn't touch it when all is working ok but I always like trying something different.

Actually, maybe there is a very small possibility it might fix my constant vibrate when in recovery mode, since flashing a new CWM or CM7 have not fixed it.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Then backup and flash away :)

For UK u can try asking Rusty!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I wish we could get a hand on the 1020 BB and RIL - as it's for the SU660, too - it might work for me, too!
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:
Need help in installing kang :-P

All I need to do is to flash in cwm recovery and flash .zip from there right?

Just wanna confirm before flashing so that I don't screw up :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Herro :D

I was using 824 for my last couple of weeks of ownership, signal/quality was good, but I had a couple of SOD's (and I pretty much never suffered them)... it's quite possible that was just a coincidence, though.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Yes......its just another nightly renamed as such .... :D
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:

[LG Optimus 2x] alncool:
Hello guys,

I tried to flash this famous BB824 since i can't stand anymore on the stock ROM 2.3.5@BB725. The signal was so terrible, bad sound , a lot of disconnection from the network and so on... Well i've flashed this Baseband and everythings seemed to be OK until i tried to call someone.

The crazy thing is everything's working like a charm (i mean data gsm/3G/HSDPA , incoming call, wifi) except when i call a number : i get no sound back and the called person does not hear anything...

Anyone know what's happening here ? Any idea how to fix this issue?
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
Have you installed the matching RIL ?

All thought the 824 is not the best for everybody.
[LG Optimus 2x] alncool:
Yes i have installed everything from temasek's sharedfolder including the right RIL.

If someone experimented can take a look at my logs here:

http://pastebin.com/d83pTm3e

Maybe it can help to understand what's going on...
[LG Optimus 2x] hesian:
Upgrade to BB/RIL 824 completed.

Unfortunately it didn't fix the constant vibration under CWM. So I have now changed ROMs, CWMs & BBs, but no change to vibration on my Made In Korea X2.
[LG Optimus 2x] EagleEye588:
Hey all!

I'm using CM7 since nightly ~180 and I noticed that all launchers are a bit slower on CM7 than on the stock based roms. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for that, or any settings that I can tweak on my phone to be butter smooth? :D

I'm using Go Launcher EX at the moment, it's smooth but not as smooth as it can be. :D

Anyway, thank you temasek for building these Kangs, my phone is perfect with these releases. I would never change to LG crapware or any other rom than CM.
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
At least for me, it is the other way round. On LG StockROM everything is a bit sluggish and in CM7.2 no lag at all. Maybe you have too many background services that are running all the time.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1000bech:
I installed ironkrnL and i feel Go Launcher smoother, but it might be my imagination :S
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Been using ADW EX for more than a year now. I tried LP, GO, Zeam, but I always go back to this.

[LG Optimus 2x] :
Thank you temasek for a kang with a rich set of cherries. I am going to stop building my own ROM and use your builds instead.

Since we have a kang thread and the kangs you provide have a lot of cherries, would it be a good idea to move over to the KANG thread?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Nightly is dead for cm7. So practically this thread is dead. So I think we can continue kang here as we are the temp replacements for nightly. Unless some others feels otherwise ....
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
And once again: thank you temasek... great work!
[LG Optimus 2x] EagleEye588:
Can someone tell me what is this?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Thanks for bringing this up. Apparently the commit is meant for xhdpi & mdpi devices only. Our device is hdpi so it is not applicable and as such u don't see any changes.

I'll revert that in the next build ( or leave it uncommented ).

Hello, I can not use this :

New - Change I95c987f1: Toggling the flashlight by long pressing the HOME button (1/2)

New - Change I5db06ce5: Toggling the flashlight by long pressing the HOME button (2/2)

I have long pressed the home and not work. I looked in settings and I do not see anything where configure. anyone can help me?

I am using kang 204-21.

Thankss
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
The new feature is in build 204 - 22 :D

To enable this feature,

Settings -> CM Settings -> Lockscreen -> Widget options -> Lockscreen flashlight
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi EagleEye588, just for the record, I never used the stock ROM for more than 10 minutes when I first got my handset. Also I'm on Temasek's latest Kang too.

In my 10 months on ANDROID I've used around 5 home launchers. Go Launcher EX, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher, an iPhone type launcher, I forget the name. And my current launcher QQ Launcher Pro. They all run pretty smoothly, but I would say Launcher Pro was the smoothest of the bunch but not the prettiest. They all ran much more smoothly if you tweak the settings in the App Spare Parts.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] braddocksp:
Sorry, I am using the kang 22, jejeje.

thanks for the instructions, I've configured and running.

Salutations.
[LG Optimus 2x] EagleEye588:
Indeed LauncherPro is the smoothest, but it has less functionality than Go Launcher and LP hasn't been updated since May.

What settings should I tweak in Spare Parts?
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
in all the launchers i tried i always had to disable the background moving with the desktops to get acceptable smoothness.
[LG Optimus 2x] EagleEye588:
Tried it many times, doesn't help.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Then change a launcher. I'm using adw ex. Smooth.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nix86:
+1 buyed at 0,10 € and its the smoothest launcher :p
[LG Optimus 2x] braddocksp:
Everyone says that ADW is much more fluid, but whenever I tried all the launchers, and I have just the same, Go launcher. It really is more fluid the ADW? I do not think so, especially when moving the application list.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
There is a difference between adw and adw ex.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I brought ADW Ex when using CM6 on HTC buzz (wildfire) back when Jacob Crawley (then maintainer) gave me pre-alpha builds. The ROM become so much more responsive just by replacing launcher. I have ever since stuck to ADW Ex.
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Hello I'm on kang P204-21 with bb 725-20 and i installed til 725-20 using getril. But when i reboot my phone, i get a questionmark on my battery icon and there is no sim connection. I fix it by recovering the ril in getril. Do you know what is happening?
[LG Optimus 2x] C0D3N1N3R:
Hey temasek thanks for all the kangs I love them!

Just a suggestion can you please add the gestures stock ROM had (tapping ones).
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi, try setting the "Window animations", and "Transition animations" to Fast. Also grognaz's suggestion to set Wallpaper not to scroll, is one I use myself, and does make the home screen super smooth.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
That RIL I believe is a gingerbread RIL which is NOT compatible with CM ROM. Only froyo RILs are compatible.
[LG Optimus 2x] braddocksp:
Well, I tried the "adw ex", and if it is softer than the "go launcher ex", but you can sort the programs? eg installation oldest first? alphabetically?
[LG Optimus 2x] Nix86:
Dont understand why but i ve decreased battery life with 824bb or 20 kang ...any one have noticed that?

I was on 725 20l bb + 18 or lower build and get better battery life

Don't see much difference here.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1000bech:
Hi, i'm having a problem with FM Radio and CM7 (P204-21), the app enables bluetooth but i'm using wired headsets ¿?, i can't use the FM Radio, what can i do? is there any other FM Radio app that i can use?
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
AFAIK, that's a requirement in any ROM. Your phone needs a wired headset for it to serve as the FM antenna.

A work around you can try is to by a cheap headset, cut-off the wire, plug in the 3.5mm connector, and voila, you have fooled your phone. Primitive. But it works.
[LG Optimus 2x] 1000bech:
Seems like you didn't understand me :p

I am using wired headphones, but CM7 forces the bluetooth to be turned on, and no music (FM Radio) comes trough my wired headphones, it's like if FM Radio on CM7 only supports BT headphones. In GB i didn't have that issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I use wired headphones always and it works for me. Try sprite/spirit fm radio from market and see if that works
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Bluetooth has to be on for working fm in CM7, it is by desgin and has no function, at least for you. It will support normal headsets.

(no bluetooth=no fm)
[LG Optimus 2x] alediniz:
After bluetooth loading ends, click any volume button.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Yeah, I re-read your post and I misunderstood. My bad.

Anyway, I don't have your issue. I can plug my headset, and use the stock FM app just fine. I do hope that one of the suggestions above this post works for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Anyone using a density (dpi) other than 240?

With a lower density you can see more on your screen - it's like using a higher resolution on your computer.

I think a density between 190 and 210 suits this device very well - unfortunately there's a market bug (you cannot install/update some apps in market - they're shown as "incompatible" due to the changed densitiy - but they're all running fine).

There is a fix though: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20623581
[LG Optimus 2x] babaandnana:
hi temasek. Is there any chance that the volume rocker be used to wake our devices be fixed? Its working but only within less than 10 seconds after the phone goes to sleep.

nice touch with the flashlight. i'm loving it.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
He can only fix what's in the repo - and there's nothing which seems like a fix :(

Everything else has to go to the devs - but I'm not sure how to report bugs, as we may not open issues for nightlies.

Btw - are there other guys than aremcee working on CM7 for our 2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
A few, look here.
[LG Optimus 2x] pyssoo:
Thanks temasek for great rom !

I have a question about 824 baseband. is this a baseband only for Asia countries ? I have and LG Optimus 2x P990 on Vodafone Romania and I tried this baseband with 824 ril from your share on mediafire, but I have no signal, the gsm and 3g part is completly dead. The same thing happened also with 823 baseband. Now i'm using 218 with 218 ril.

One more thing: if I update to version 22 from version 20, I only have to apply the zip in recovery and that's it?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I'm not temasek but I hope you don't mind ;)

The 824 BB is originally for the SU660 - the "korean 2x" - and is working quite well for some p990 users, esp. the ones whose devices are "made in korea".

The baseband is nothing you need to update with each new version - if one version is working well and without issues for you, you can/should stick to it.

aremcee, the maintainer of cm7 for the 2x is using bb/ril 218 himself.

After flashing version 22 over 20 you should wipe dalvik cache, too. Just use the "ROM Manager" from the market (free version works) to flash the new version and check the "wipe dalvik cache".
[LG Optimus 2x] babaandnana:
I see. Hope somebody makes that fix. Someday that power button is gonna give. I just hope LG made the button extra durable. :D

Error message "android.process.acore"

Hi

Every time I try to install this ROM i get the error message "android.process.acore". I have tried all versions of this ROM since Kang18 to 22 but same message occurs. If I revert to the normal CM7 nightly 204 then everything is as normal. I have tried to install the kang with and without doing a full wipe but it does not make any difference.

Any idea on why I get this error message when installing this Kang ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] pyssoo:
My phone is "MADE IN KOREA" as the sticker under the battery says, but the 823 and 824 basebands don't work. I will stick then with 218 baseband+ril.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
@pyssoo: i also have a P990, Made in Korea. I bought it in October from Vodafone Romania and i have the same issues like you: 823/824 BBs + any RIL => no GSM / 3G. When did you bought your phone?

You can also contact me via PM if you need any help.

PS: for me, the best baseband is 725 + V10d RIL. No SOD (i never had a SOD lol), good voice quality and no signal drops.
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
I don't think it's doable.

But it seems like LG did a very good power button :)

As I'm working on a lockscreen app,I pressed power button probably more times than on my last couple of devices together :) and it still works solid.

[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
Just to add my thoughts on the subject. Actually it is more like a speculation, and I may be completely wrong about it.

It only works while CPU is awake. Depending on your setting, CPU goes a bit asleep after screen turns off. (For example 5s for me.) Once CPU is asleep, key stroke event is ignored in kernel. Unless kernel relays this event, CM ROM can't do anything about it.

I believe it is something about GPIO setting in kernel source, but I couldn't figure out what to change. (Because I am not a real dev.) One more thing is that kernel also has a source file dedicated to power button, and volume rocker may need a similar support as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
Let me get this. The phone isn't asleep while the music player is working?

If it's asleep, then how does it work with the volume levels / next&previous song?
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Of course it is not asleep while music is playing :p
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
There seems to be a hot topic on renaming KANG ROM. Many aren't happy about it.

I believe I'm one of those who rename KANG ROM for better management but not to take any credit from it. If what I did really is wrong then I apologies to all CM TEAM.

So now I've 2 choices

1. Use back the original KANG filename, or

2. Stop building KANGs

[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
:eek:

Option 1 ftw :)

I for one is really thankful about your updates after the nightlies went dead, definately keeping this device alive until cm9 or a more interesting device arrives - whichever comes first :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Thanks.

I'm wondering ....

Original filename + continue my build numbering

Would it be alright?
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i would think so.

i didn't see the name you've been using, but i figured it was to better track the changes on top of nightly 204. you are not re-branding, or claiming it is your rom, or anything. i wouldn't be bothered by what the post said.

but original filename + your build number sounds reasonable.

edit: i, too, put my own numbering, user name, and host name in my kernel. default is taken from the host environment, which is useless. it would say "stpark@uedb #1" or something, which is gibberish to other people here. so, i override it to say "pastime1971@xda-forum 20111229 #1". am i re-branding the kernel ? not at all...

edit2: keep up the good work, temasek.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

+ what koboltzz said.

if you are running anything that prevents CPU to sleep, it won't sleep.
[LG Optimus 2x] _Vegas:
Temasek，could you please add the cherry picks "Default volume control media" to your KANG? Really useful.

thx~~:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I'll try.

I'm at work now....busy...hehe. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
I believe the CM team doesn't like to see uncredited KANGs (who likes their work to be ripped off?). As long as you keep CM7 as the build name and properly credit them for their hard work (I know how hard it is to deal with drivers and kernel stuffs, as I work on these for my day job), I believe it should be fine.

Maybe CM devs will ping us if they're not happy with what we (you) are doing...
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Deleted .......oops. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I forgot how, but I actually have that cherry. Not the option itself, but I remember setting it one time. And when I press volume on my homescreen now, it moves my media volume.

Is it possible that I got it from Dakdroid's kang, tweaked it. And then that setting stuck when I flashed yours?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Not possible.........at least not that I know of.

When u flash cm, it will backup the pre selected gapps and your custom backup files. Then it will perform a format of /system, copy the system files and restore whatever it backup earlier.

When a media is playing and u press volume keys it will of course select your media volume...is that what happened?

I think I delete my post first ....my bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Nope, not really, I'm just in the home screen of ADW EX. nothing playing. I even tried it while I was composing a text message. Once I push the volume keys, the media volume is the one that pops-up... I'll try to recall where I ticked that setting...
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
Damn no wonder! I thought it was because of the newer Nightly version.

On a side note, i realised that the new nightlies or Kangs Dialler when you key in phone numbers, it will auto search for those numbers/names in your contacts but the dialler in the older nightlies do not have that function.

Is it a new dialler or just a setting that has not been enabled?

If its a new dialler is it possible for someone extract the apk out of it?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Its a T9 dialer that came out after the last nightly build 204. U can turn off/on that T9 dialer function.

If u want that dialer why don't u just flash the latest kang, don't need to be mine.....anyone's latest kang will have it.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Hmm

Whatever u said already I had it.

cm7kang-O2x-P204-xx.zip

Oh well, nvm. I've decided to use original kang filename which is really really long (not inclusive of build numbering).
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
i decidet to try this one, Its fast as hell!! THX a lot. Just one question which kernel for best battery life? stock?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Very subjective question.

Personally I just use stock cm kernel.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Maybe in the next build P204-23 .......... (pending successful building/testing) :p
[LG Optimus 2x] _Vegas:
wow~ thank u:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
LOL...welcome!

U are fast. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
My 2 pence... I don't think anyone gives a **** about the filename being used, what people aren't keen on is changing the actual name in the build.prop so that it shows up under about in settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
Is updating builds affecs battery stats and I need tocalibrate on every build?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
True.

But I don't want any critics coming bad on me for such a small issue. I have never even consider getting anything out of KANGing except for fun and learning purpose.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Never need to do that ever, at least for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] m00h:
New day, new KANG. Thank you.

I have a question, everytime I reboot the phone, the option to use 2G only networks isn't set anymore and I have to reset it again and again. Is there any way I can set it permanently?

Regards
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Personally I tried it too but upon reboot, it doesn't stick too. So I'm not sure how it can be done in cm w/o 3rd party app.

Maybe others can shed some light on this.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
it can be done by flashing bb218. for some reason it works fine there....

EDIT: oh and that new name sucks, i cant see the buildversion in cmw....or in a file manager. the name is way to long.

Guys

all of a sudden i can't get my phone to show up on my pc.

When I hook the usb up now nothing happens.

It shows charging but no option to connect in the drop down and my pc also makes no sound as though usb connected.

My pc is fine (6 core windows 7 ) but can't find a way to solve phone issue. or find an option to select usb on it?
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
Try to reinstall the usb drivers :).
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Drivers made no difference!

Now what?
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
whats also interresting us that when you choose gsm only in connections the 2g only option is greyed out which ive never seen with any other bb.
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
If this really happens suddenly, then this might not be a cm7 specific problem.

Try another usb cable, maybe the usb port from your P990 is sucked out like mine.

Remove the dirt from it, also try another computer to see if it will recognize your P990.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
Thanks for the update, Temasek.

Love it that you use Minus for your file distribution too.

Like this I always have the latest file in sight when opening my account. :D

Wish you and your family a good start for 2012! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Ha! U still hve n1? Such a nice phone. Mine still working but had a drop once and the top split open 2mm wide. Now power button ....hmm...half dead.

God bless my nexus ..... :D

Same to u. Have a wonderful year ahead!
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Oh yeah, count me in! Its way too long. U should see kangs with date & time appended to the filename.

I'm not sure whether I should go back to the shorter filename for kangs. For the moment I'll stay with the long filename. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
maybe replacing Optimus2X with o2x will fit in?

i just flashed a lot of BB's to test which lose the 2g setting on reboot and all 990 bb's up to 614 doent have the problem. i havent tried the higher bb's yet but will do that tomorrow or so but i think i also lost the setting on 725 and 823.
[LG Optimus 2x] m00h:
I have a made in Korea Optimus 2x and the 824 bb, which I tend to have some trouble with. Is there any other bb version considered to be the best for this phone? Or does it depend on the provider, the country and so on?
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
Hey, has anyone noticed the:

Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Input -> Volume rocker wake? :lol:

We were speaking about it some pages ago ^_^.
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Yes and this will not work if your phone is asleep (after a few seconds/minutes screen off) :p
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I use the 725 Asian BB + RIL combo. The 2G sticks. Specifically, I just choose GSM only, and the 2G setting stays. (Because GSM = 2G right?)

As for the name. I have a suggrstion Temasek. How about keeping the long CM orig name. But... put you kang # in front. That way, it can easily be arranged chronologically, and... we can see what we're flashing in CWM. lol.

U mean when phone is in deep sleep volume rocker can't wake it up? That's a definite faulty clause. I had/have 3 phones that run CM7, all wakes up correctly using the volume rocker if the option is checked.
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Yeah, but it does not work on Cm7 for P990, so it is most likely a kernel/sleep issue in combination with the volume rocker.
