[LG Optimus 2x] Moon101:
Step by step

Dear unfugor and JimmyLeeBillyBob, I know sometimes things are really annoying but I would resume all the steps to convert a Stock LG into "a CM7 beast". All these steps are explained in the forum but I will try to put them all together.

STEPS (Please, follow the correct order):

1) Root the device. There are 2 options but I've always used the first one (Super One Click):

a) Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported) - By domi007

b) GingerBreak App - works with most ROMs inc stock - By Chainfire

1.1) How to Root with Super One Click:

1.1.1) Install the LG Drivers into your PC to have ADB access to your phone www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1.exe

1.1.2) Install Super One Click www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip

1.1.3) Enable the USB debugging in your phone: Settings -> Applications -> Development. Also it's important to activate the "Allow no-market Applications" under Settings -> Applications

1.1.4) Connect your phone to the PC through the USB

1.1.5) Run SuperOneClick.exe

1.1.6) Press the ROOT key and you will have ROOT ACCESS to your phone. It is recommended to run the test at the end of the process.

2) Install Recovery "ClockWorkMod" (CWM)

2.1 Download CWM from www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/cwm-5.0.2.7-P990_Moon.zip

2.2 Unzip the downloaded file where you want (ex. in the Desktop)

2.3 Connect the phone with the USB debugging enabled (Point 1.1.3)

2.4 Run the executable according to your Operating System

2.4.1 Windows: file install-cwm-mod-p990-windows.bat

2.4.2 Linux: install-cwm-mod-p990-linux.sh

2.4.3 Mac: install-cwm-mod-p990-mac.sh

NOTE: Once installed, to enter into the CWM Recovery you have to power off the phone and then keep pressing the VOL- key while pressing the power On button until the phone enters into the CWM recovery menu (about 10 seconds).

3) Change the Baseband:

3.1) Download the Smartflash utility from here: www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/smartflash.zip

3.2) Unzip where you want

3.3) Download the Baseband you want.

3.4) Unzip the Baseband where you want.

3.5) Run SmartFlashTool_P990.exe

3.6) Turn device off, remove the battery and plug the USB phone to the PC while holding volume down - . You should see a software update message on the screen and the COM port of the Smartflash program should be filled automatically. You can now unpress the volume down - key.

3.7) Select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab

3.8) Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected

3.9) Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected

3.10) Click the browse button next to 'CP Bin:' and select the baseband (FLS) file.

3.11) Click 'Start' and wait for the flash to complete. The phone will automatically reboot and you can unplug the USB cable and mount the battery. back

NOTE: We will flash the matching RIL after CM7 will be installed.

4) Install latest CM7 nightly http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p990 .

4.1) Once downloaded the CM7 put the zip into the root of your external SD card and enter into the CMW Recovery as explained on point 2. At this point I recommend to do a backup under the menu "backup and restore" just in case something goes wrong.

4.2) Once the backup has been done choose WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

4.3) Then choose "install zip from SD card" and choose the zip you put into the root of your SD card. Then wait until the end and choose reboot.

4.4) After rebooting your phone configure all the options. If you want you can install the Google Apps that you can download from here: www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/gapps-gb-20110907-signed.zip

5) Install the matching RIL

5.1) Go to the "Market" and search for the GetRIL application. Once installed execute and choose the RIL that matches your Baseband and check the option "keep RIL after flashing a new ROM". Then choose "Download and Install".

5.2) If you prefer you can download the RIL in zip format and install it with the CWM Recovery as "Install zip from SD card"

6) Change the Kernel:

6.1) I recommend the Vorkkernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059910.

NOTE: At the moment the E-Peen version gives me problems with the camera so I prefer the stable non E-Peen version.

6.2) If you want you can download from the Market the app VorkKernel Updater and change the parameters according to your needs.

NOTE: If you activate the FM Radio with this kernel you'll miss all the incoming calls so If you usually use the FM Radio I recommend to install the swiftextreme kernel or the one you prefer.

7) Install additional applications:

7.0) Google Applications Pack http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43058142/P990/Apk/gapps-gb-20110907-signed.zip

7.1) Go Launcher - An outstanding Desktop (I recommend the Plate Theme)

7.2) Go Keyboard and the Gingerbread theme. Don't forget to download your language pack (ex Spanish for Go Keyboard).

7.3) SetCPU - This allows you to "Overclock your phone through the CM7 menu Settings -> CyanogenMod Setting -> Performance ->CPU Settings and choose max CPU Frequency to 1216.

7.4) AllcallRecording - To record your incoming and outgoing phone calls.

7.5) WhatsApp and Viber (of course)

7.6) Sygic Navigator (an incredible offline Navigator)

7.7) AppBrain (a Market alternative with best search results)

7.8) MX Player - An incredible Video Player (A++++++)

7.9) Soundhound - An improved version of Shazam to search for music (A++)

7.10) TuneIn Radio
