First thing to make windows 7 friendly is to Tick on Show Hidden and system files.

Then scan for folder changes going on while using KDZ flash tool, but if you let that tool complete it delete that Phone folder somewhere in C drive, so while it is still running, just copy that folder, and you get all files inside wdb too.

Including img files for recovery, flashboot and system. With those OUR SPECIAL baseband fls files. :D..

I am running Win 7 x64 same as you. But only on my bootcamp partition, hopefull by now you should also have guessed my main OS with the X
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
well, I did it the hard way, and TBH I'm not impressed by the voice quality at all. I had far better quality on 502, so it's back to that for me.

Nice educational few hours spent de-bricking my phone, lol.

Thanks all,

Baz
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
Why de bricking.... And didn't you try reducing volume? And this is also the best baseband for not letting far hooves into mic. on 622 I had huge problem, could not talk to gf while friends speaking 10 feet far. She could hear that more clear than what I speak. That problem is gone
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
Not sure if its only me, but can someone kindly check the ign mobile page and try one of the flash videos? I used to be able to run them a while ago, i now get "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Honestly I get best voice quality on the 725 baseband. Tested and made few phone calls to abroad (from uk- vodafone) and my even my regular caller noticed the improvement in the voice quality. I was on 606 before but 725 is the must for me! Thanks bhanvadia for the fls files- u r da man!
[LG Optimus 2x] fredisco:
It looks like it's AGPS trying to communicate = lot's of data, you need to go back to 101 to fix that.

My phone loves this one. Thanx :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
Mine doesn't, not fully at least. I have always had problems with maintaining mobile data, especially when "use only 2G networks" is not ticked. The e/G icon with the arrows will intermittently disappear and I will lose all connectivity. It is better when I forced the use of 2G only, but sometimes it will not turn on mobile data when leaving WiFi.

I'm still having the first problem with the latest baseband, but I have not had a chance to test out whether the second problem still exists. I've never really had any problems with call quality.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
So it has to be done while actually flashing the phone? It doesn't go beyond making a .cab file (which I have been able to do without the tool) without the .fls goodies inside if I don't have my phone to be flashed. If so, I guess I'll just have to wait until the next baseband update to play around =P.
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
You can try in this too. Or in any kdz. That extracted files are in c programs lg and in there somewhere phone folder. Just keep hidden file visible
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Humble pie time - I figured so many people couldnt be wrong, so I re-installed 725, this time with the 4x .fls. Initial hiccup, had to reflash the RIL alone from CWM and then crystal clear vox.

Nice one.

I was using nightly 84 and still had the same problem. It's ridiculous that i need to turn off mobile data just to avoid battery drain nowadays.
[LG Optimus 2x] mikereidis:
The schematic shows P990 uses a Wolfson WM8994 chip for audio and it appears P990 uses digital I2S audio. It's not clear if the analog will work.

Supercurio, the author of Voodoo Control (Plus) seems to be the expert on WM8994.

At present I have no idea how hard it would be to enable FM audio, or if it could even be practically done without ROM support. If libaudio doesn't know about the FM routing, things like audio notifications could kill it.

[LG Optimus 2x] jakke_be:
Is there an alternative? When I use droidwall to block these connections in orde to save battery, i'm also blocking the vpn connections etc as well and thats isn't needed.

Do we actually need the theme chooser?
[LG Optimus 2x] Ninkul:
I've outright removed Theme Chooser so.. i'm going to assume not :P.

Biggest battery drain for me i found is Lattitude.. I've seen a couple of threads point at Lattitude on Gingerbread being an overall problem but I was running GB on my last phone with Lattitude on 24/7 no problems.. *shrug* who knows.

Things I remove when i flash CM7 nightlies:

ADWLauncher

Themechooser

File Manager
[LG Optimus 2x] znejk:
Lets hope there is an alternative soon!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I've frozen Theme Chooser (and it's two themes) since day one, so it's not a integral piece of the OS. It's used for changing the look of things, and I like my stuff to look stock, so no need for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
So anyone found anything unusual about BB 725?

I couldn't fault it in any way, but I've only been testing it for a few hours.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
725

And that will cause the RIL to be flashed as well?

After flashing a new ROM how do I reflash the RIL, or do I have to use the backup list method?
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
It is just like other SmartFlash process, you will have to get ril again, from temasek's mediafire folder or from app "LG GetRIL" on market.

And no faults so far, everything is smooth. Call quality very good, gps lock less than 10 seconds, wifi works perfect.

And battery life seem to be improved too.

What more can you expect?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
custom_backup_list.txt is the best way if you ask me, it's a great feature.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
Ah, I didn't know Temasek had the RIL - thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
for cyano users

i don't understand why people want to install latest baseband when cyano is based on baseband 0218...like written by cyano's dev, new baseband isn't different, lg changes only build date...
[LG Optimus 2x] SpikeNansid:
Using LG GetRIL will install the ril of your choice and it gives the option to save it (create custom_backup_list.txt för you)

Easy for who doesn't know how to do it themselves. :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
so any solution for the traffic use of themechooser and settings? i just deletet themechooser but i cant delete the settings app ore can i?
[LG Optimus 2x] Antubis:
Maybe because voice quality is awful on 218 in France at least ?
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
Hmm, interesting opinion...

I might be wrong but I always thought that BB is the firmware(lame term "drivers" or could be even loadable schematics/logic) for the low level hardware (3G radio, WiFi radio, GPS receiver, etc) and RIL is a layer between "drivers" and high level firmware. So any high level (CM7 for example) firmware is always compatible with any low level driver (BB 502 or 622 or ...) if you use the correct abstraction layer (RIL).

If a problem is found or optimization is made at the low level then new BB is built and we all see the improvements.

Isn't this correct?
[LG Optimus 2x] Antubis:
I think so :)
[LG Optimus 2x] traxxus:
Hm, #103 feels super smoothy or its only me?
[LG Optimus 2x] Wolf8:
To all those with the Theme-Chooser / Settings Upload "problem": Maybe there is no problem? I installed the Trafficcounter App some hours ago and noticed that theme-chooser allegedly uploaded about 8.8 MB. However this number doesn't add up to the numbers of my Cell and Wifi uploads, which are just about 0.6 MB. So maybe Theme-Chooser is just using a local port and sending information to itself or another app which however is logged by traffic counter, as this might have been implemented by using a local network stream..? Of course Trafficcounter may just have an error in logging the traffic, but i think, this is not very likely...
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
Yes, it is what I thought; Google f*cked up. There is a new update now and Youtube is working correctly again.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's you, there is nothing in it that would make a difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] fredisco:
I did also do a lot of voice quality testing with my phone, after flashing all 4 baseband files (for 725) and flashed CM 101 + 725 RIL. And it was better but far from as good as the FR19. CM still has data transfer sounds in background and the audio cancelling is still not good.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Same. Its working again. A very impt app that I need for use to coax my baby boy, can't let it not working. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
Because newer is generally better - otherwise why not stick with Android 2.2 as well? ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Have you taken a log whilst this is happening and posted it? Can we take a look? Linky?

Yeah, I saw that. It is only anecdotal though, it would be good to have a log (since it's happening "every 5 mins") to determine what events are actually occurring.

I think that would prove (or disprove) any theories one way or another...
[LG Optimus 2x] fredisco:
Noisy O2X Gingerbread

It's because the voice quality is so poor I can't use CM everyone is complaining about not hearing what I'm saying as the microphone is too sensitive with 218.

With Radio+RIL 218/405/622:

They hear everything around me like there is no noise filtering/cancelling at all in the O2X microphone. So if I'm walking in the street and there is a car that passes by 4 meters away they say it sounds like I was hit by the car. If I speak with a normal voice it's distorted in the other end. If I talk on the phone in a room where other persons also talk like a pub, they can hear the others around me better than myself as my voice is distorted.

If I hold the phone in a silent room and I have the phone 3 feet/1 meter away from my mouth it sound levels are good and not distorted.

They also hear data traffic (GSM data noise) from my phone when I'm speaking on-top of all other noise.

If I install the 505 radio+RIL then the O2X microphone levels are better!! And it sounds much better in the other end. However I have Telia in Sweden and I loose data connection and the phone doesn't ring when they call me, and I can't call mobile phones just landlines.

If I go back to stock ROM FR19 or Modaco FR19 (Radio+RIL 218/405/622/725) it's perfect, audio is fantastic in the other end. If I speak with a normal voice with my O2X in a pub they hear what I say and not so much what everyone else is saying. This is the reason why I don't buy that there is something wrong with my phone as it's working perfectly with the Froyo ROM's.

Note! This is how it sounds like in the other end, not how it's for you! So I'm not taking about the speaker in the O2X.

There are many others with the same problem:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/344401-annoying-noise-help-please/

..that is why I think many are tinkering with different radios.. Because radio+RIL 502 is almost a solution, but some can't use that one.. :´(

If someone have a solution to this I would be very happy! :D

That would mean I can actually use CM / Miui or Modaco GR2 as a daily ROM. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Wonder if it would be possible to enable the radio menu in dialer *#*#3646#*#* to save preferences? I prefer GSM only, but it resets to WCDMA preferred every reboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You can set the default in build.prop usually, but it's commented out saying something about causing 'Unknown' network.

Might try it anway.
[LG Optimus 2x] voyd:
hi,

exactly the same issue for me, 502 BB or 530 BB are better but not perfect...but i'll still using CM ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
So my phone (BB 725) was on for 5 hours on battery: couple of short calls, e-mail, about 1 hour playing music, watching a few videos on the net, downloading updates from the market, trying the new youtube app, reading the news/weather. Still 75% of the battery is left!

Normally with my usage patterns I would expect to have about 50% left by this time on BB 502. So unless the battery level display is incorrect, the new BB is pretty good for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
To all that talked about SOD with wall charger. i solved mine SOD problem like this:

1. install some stock rom via recovery.

2.formating sd and ex sd.

3. update phone via LGMobile update.

4. root, cwm.

5. clean install with all the wipes of latest cm7, gapps, matching ril.

6. TA-DA!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
don't know if the order makes any difference, but just to confirm the order of flashing 4 files of 725 BB, i flashed 622 BB first and looked at the messages. i deduced that the order is PSI > SLB > AENEAS > BB, which is the exactly same as by increasing size...

now i'm on 725, and it's working fine. one thing i noticed was that i could hear my TV through the speaker when calling... (need more test though...)
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
Just a heads up:

I've posted a way to save the battery when using CM7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1212042
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
I well might try fiddling with stuff best left alone, again. Cheers :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Did a test - although the sound is clearer for me on the o2x- sounds like a long-distance call from a landline. Certainly not an expensive super-phone.

Only options would be to go over to Modaco or (shudder) stock....

No way Jose.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
Battery display is usually incorrect ;)

It often sorts itself after a reboot. I've just been on the phone for an hour with 725 and it only dropped by 5% - not sure I believe that...
[LG Optimus 2x] paul_cad44:
has anyone got the BB 725 in one file yet, im too lasy to install all 4 files :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I made the change, and it reverts to WCDMA Preferred on bootup anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I got the exact same problem :(

With BB0725 it's a bit better, this GSM data noise isn't that annoying anymore. But other people will still hear all background sounds loud and clear :(
[LG Optimus 2x] philstar:
same here...

I hear very often that the sound quality on the other side is really baaaad... :(

with BB725 even worse...
[LG Optimus 2x] Darkchaser:
You can check Spare Parts, under Network Usage. You'll see the number 1 apply using network by far is the Android System, which includes Settings and Theme Chooser. So it's definitely not just a Traffic Counter error.

Anyhow freezing TC helps a bit. But Settings is still uploading data somewhere.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I notice top of that list is 'Account and Sync Settings' might be a cause if all the phone's syncing is being counted.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
The Rild update from here http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6859 (Nightly 83) seems to be causing baseband crashes. Reverting it to the one on 82 has resolved the issue so far (no crashes for well over a day).

RC, have any thoughts?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I downloaded that and wanna try it out when the 725 BB PARTY started yesterday. I'm now on 725 BB+RIL. So far no bb crashes. I'm still using the new rild.

Will monitor if any bb crashes. If yes I'll try the old rild.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
I'll switch back to new rild in a day or two to see how it goes. Perhaps LG is providing fixes for CM7 =P

[LG Optimus 2x] joel8736:
For me (note SURE) the problem is link with USB debug mode and charger voltage regulation quality. I disable USB debug mode while charging. Otherwise, my phone was sending by itself keystrokes...
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Rusty!! Did you find a solution on the GPS with Endomondo ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No, my initial 'fix' worked for about 4/5 days, then reverted back to the 'stock' behaviour of failing horribly.

It's an odd one for sure, going to do some more mucking about on the off chance I discover something.
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Could you try test Google My Tracks, and see if that can keep the gps on ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I will when I get a chance, I thought My Tracks was one of the few things that still kept it's lock though?
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
Just got my 725 BB+RIL on #101.

I left it full charge at 1am and went to sleep. When i woke up 7 hours later, i dropped to 40%. Damn!

Used it throughout the day as per normal and really the battery was much worse.

I also got a bug, when i charge the phone up to 100% and pull it out, the battery stats got deleted and the graph appears brand new again.

Anyone having the same problem as me?

Using Vorkernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
That's not a bug, it's how the graph is designed to work.
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
Oh so the batterystats is deleted everytime i unplug?
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Only reason for the test would be to see if i need to go back and have My Tracks running in the background when using Endo..

Strange and very annoying that this bug has reappeared.. Would really like if aremcee would try and share some light on what could be causing gps issues again..
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Strangely enough, I just did a quick (3 minute) test and Endomondo worked without anything being changed from stock.

Seems just about impossible to troubleshoot this.

There is definitely something odd about the new GPS userspace though (although it could just be me) I sometimes see that when GPS is enabled and you reboot the phone, it will try and gain a lock on bootup (which is does quickly, regardless of where I am), and after that GPS is not usable without disabling/re-enabling it. For instance, GPS Status will see no satellites, but the notification will be solid.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Smartflash fls-file, and then flash ril in recovery, that must be the easiest way right?

http://android.modaco.com/topic/344840-baseband-725-9-aug-fls-files-for-smartflash/
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Did some experimentation with other ROMs - people I call do say call quality is far better for them.

Still - I'm staying with CM7 - it's just too feature-rich. I appreciate all the hard work and smarts that have gone into making it ever more polished daily (or nightly).

Just wish that this issue with callers having poor sound quality gets addressed fairly soon. O2x is an expensive phone, needs to sound that way when you talk to someone else.

Soz if my comments get anyone upset, just commenting,

Cheers

how to fix the themechooser and settings traffic problem now?? got a huge babbery drain sadly, 50% in 6 hours without touching the phone... :(
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
About theme chooser. Just freeze or delete it with titanium.
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
i deleted it, but still the batterydrain is here - i guess setting is generatig traffic too...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
People have just assumed Theme Chooser is the cause, when in reality it is one of many things sharing the same ID, and the culprit could be any of them.
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
ok, so what would you do? when did that drain started? id like to revert to an older nightly then...
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
set the exposure in the top icon of preference bar to higher values (+3) manually.

maybe autoexposure is not working correctly, i'm not sure.

you can post it to issue tracker, http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
just to report on this, i don't have this battery drain issue.

these days, i get 48 hours on a minimal usage. (airplane mode + wifi always on, sip receiving call, email checking per 15min, reading news a few times a day; of course airplane mode is sort of cheating, but i don't have a cell reception at all where i work.)

edit: the other day, i had another test with wifi and cellular voice but no 2G/3G, battery drain was similar, if not better.
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
Thats fenomenal Battery life but still you hardly use your phone haha
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Well if we all turn out high end devices into unused dumbphones, we'll all get great life too ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i know. my post is only pertinent to that strange battery drain issue...:D
[LG Optimus 2x] invinciblervd:
Guys, I don't think its the ThemeChooser to blame for. I have themechooser enabled, running nightly 99 with BB 725. On 3g and fair usage..Always on 3g, bkg sync on, kik/whatsapp/stock messanger running all the time.. listening songs for 1 hr, playing games for about 20 mins and after 8h35m, my battery is down by 40%. Still 60% remaining which I believe would easily take me to next day if I don't charge.

Is it that traffic counter app which in turn consuming battery ? or any other app that keeps ur phone awake even when screen is off ?

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I agree with Rusty!

And I also say, next person to ask the question without posting a log gets flamed... :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Right this silly GPS thing, I've done some poking around and I'm not sure glgps is pulling down the long term orbit stuff.

I cleared out my /data/gps folder and despite a few reboots & GPS activations, it didn't return. Grabbed it manually and Endomondo recorded a track no problem.

Of course this could be a complete red herring (again), but time will tell.
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
How did you grab it manually ?
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Hmm, thinking about starting a battery calibration thread, to explain people with violent drain, how to go about their batteries.. Its quite simple, in my own experience..

When you install a new rom, your battery usage log gets wiped. This doesnt happen on CM7, when you update your rom, and you should not wipe battery stats, unless if you have some severe drainage. But i would like people with the big drainage to test if this doesnt help on their devices..

If you are experiencing the big drain, try wiping battery stats in recovery, after this, do a fix permissions.. When done, wipe battery stats again. Now, charge your phone to 100%, and drain your phone fully. Now the next 6-7 days, no matter what happens with the cm7 updates, do not wipe battery stats or use any app to calibrate battery etc. Just use your phones and recharge every night.

This worked for me, I unplugged my phone 17 hours ago, and have had some heavy usage today, and still have 60% left on my phone. This is with wifi and mobile data on!

Good luck guys..

Re. BB 725.

I've got the ZIP file with the 4 FLS files inside and I seem to recall mention of having to flash all 4 files. It was quite a few pages back so it'd take a while to find so can anyone confirm if this is necessary or do I just have to flash the largest FLS file to get on the new baseband?

Thanks. :confused:
