[LG Optimus 2x] Cayman.n2o:
I spent some time searching this and from other sources,and I just need some quick answers...I got nice offer for o2x and just want to be sure of few things before I buy it

Do skype video calls work on o2x?

Is it true that hdmi doesn't work on any custom roms?

Is there a way to flash latest official firmware if its not possible in my country with official update tools?
[LG Optimus 2x] xdaslade:
Skype video works but all depends on data speeds.

Recent cm7 nightlies now have hdmi support but who needs it really?

Yes o2x flashing to stock has been well discussed in forums.

Which should I put kenel files(dump_image.....)in a custom Rom? Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] xdaslade:
can you ask a harder question? Just kidding but you will need to be more specific. I.e file type etc..there are so many factors at play that you will find it hard to get a satisfactory answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] world_of_ursus:
may you specify the codec and bitrates/encodings u use?

hd-playback works fine for me using mx-player, vid files conferted via ffmpeg to webm

at players like mobo or mx, ensure to prefer hw-decoding and use sw as fallback
[LG Optimus 2x] archicorn27:
Excuse me

I'm new to the Android custom ROM scene but not a totally hopeless case(although excessive searching and scratching my head has led to degradation in my health) :p

I was searching for a fix which would let me remove a few annoying features of the Stock ROM like the camcorder beep and some brightness issue and so I happened to bump into this awesome intro page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037751

There are links provided to take care of those issues I mentioned above. The person behind all this awesomeness is undoubtedly, Paul. However, what I don't understand is that on navigating to the home page http://android.modaco.com/topic/336678-8-apr-r2-stock-performance-pack/ I see someone has asked whether one has to root the device to be able to apply that and to my surprise one has replied in the negative :eek:

How is this possible ? I mean its not that I have a problem with rooting(too slow to catch up with rooted lot :o) but the simple answer that one does not needs root access has really got me thinking. The reason I'm waiting so long before I finally begin meddling with my device is just that I'm afraid if screw up something then I'm stuck real bad. Another one being that I believe with the ICS update a few things might be fixed(just a noob wish though :D)

I know the Full Backup(of the Stock ROM) will save my device and prepare it for the service centre. I know I can Un-Root my device in the same way I can root it. But if this guy is right then I'm quite happy with the Stock ROM(with the added boost of course and a few fixes). Eventually I will un-root before turning it in for the repair in case I need to(which is very rare).

So I doubt that the Clockworkmod recovery can be installed WITHOUT rooting the device and that is why I ask

Is this really possible ? :confused:

PS Sorry for such a huge wall of text. I couldn't resist the urge to provide an explanation in a single post instead of posting in multiple replies :)
[LG Optimus 2x] morenosorina:
you must root the phone to do that.. It's the only solution
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Actually, no. You don't need to root the phone to install CWM, or to use CWM to install patches.

To install CWM without rooting, follow steps 1-3 in this guide. (The guide is about rooting, but that happens in step 4. Steps 1-3 simply installs CWM.)

If you do this you of course have to restore the stock recovery before returning it, which can be found here.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
Hello everyone. I would like to ask whoever knows how to fix a LG Optimus 2x P990 stucked up on LG logo with colored light on backlight? I just flashed the GR Modaco Custom ROM using CWM 4005 as what someone told me to do so, but still it is still stuck up. I have my own thread. Kindly visit/ do some comments there. Thank you! Lookin' forward for my phone to be fixed!
[LG Optimus 2x] archicorn27:
Do I also have to take care of the correct Baseband version and the Kernel and everything else or does this all gets included in the ROM itself ?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
For the purposes of returning the phone to a retailer, you must restore all the things you have replaced:

1) If you have installed CWM (which is a custom recovery), you must install the original recovery.

2) If you have installed another baseband, you must restore the original baseband. (By smartflashing, as this is not backed up in any way.)

3) If you have replaced (or modified) the ROM you must restore the original, either by restoring a backup or smartflashing an original one.

Depending on how much of the above you need to do, you may want to use smartflash instead of restoring a backup, as a smartflash will completely restore it, including recovery and baseband. (The kernel is part of the ROM.)

The inspire is only capable of 3 colors, Orange green and red...unless of course someone was stupid enough to mod the hardware with a new LED.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bbeelzebub:
So... I lost my DINC last week and I can pay Assurion 90 bucks for a replacement (probably used and probably one of the later models without the AMOLED screen) or... Verizon said I can get a new Droid Charge for 199. I've heard so much bad stuff about the Thunderbolt that I'm tempted to just go ahead and get the Droid Charge. I think the phone looks gorgeous, but I'm worried Samsung will be slow with the Android updates. I can live with that really.... I'm just wanting something that is fast, nice to look at and use and has good battery life. It also looks like the Charge has a nice useable camera in comparison to HTC phones. While, I might miss Sense.... I don't dislike the way the Charge looks.

Are you happy with yours? Any thoughts or extra info?
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Get a charge i have both.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jmatch:
About the updates. Because its a "Droid" phone the updates might be quicker. I would think if they didn't give good updates it wouldn't just hurt samsung but the droid line. because if someone hears the droid charge didn't get so and so update the normal person would think the whole line of droids is bad. I'm just guessing and if this doesn't make sense sorry I'm very tired :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Verizon rep told me gingerbread is coming by end of june. But they don't know **** so take it as you will
[Verizon Droid Charge] voiceofid:
i got the charge and after a week and a half, i went to a thunderbolt

pro:

-awesome looking screen, great for under the sun

-good camera quality

con:

-camera takes ages after taking a picture, to be ready to take another photo (2-5 seconds) I've missed multiple great photo ops in the week i owned the charge.

-rtf system lags, and the voodoo lagfix is a bandaid. even the animation of speedtest apk studders (when it's scanning for a server)

-4g reception is poor, average of 5mb/1mb. most places my wife's thunderbolt got 4g, the droid charge didn't(sitting at a restaurant, at the park etc.). additionally, since i got the thunderbolt, my 4g average has been 10mb/3mb

-randomly lost all signal and takes about 15-20 seconds for it to be restored

i would most likely never touch another samsung phone until they come out with another nexus
[Verizon Droid Charge] gerelee:
i also have both phones but prefer the thunderbolt ... sense is faster and smoother than touch wiz, the social integration, i think, is better, if that matters to you...also the browser seems to perform better and the keyboard (or any of the replacement ones) feels 'snappier' on the thunderbolt than the charge ... now the charge is really good in sunlight, as someone said, which can NOT be said for the thunderbolt ... big minus for the 'bolt, as i use my phone outdoors a lot!!

games seem to lag more (angry birds, etc.) on the charge and i've also already scratched the back of the charge in several places, inadvertently, and there are two little 'pits' in the screen of the charge :(

while there are plusses and minuses of both, i find myself using the 'bolt more as it's just all around, a much faster phone ... at least in my experiences.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
Sounds to me like someone with a h**d-on towards Samsung. Obviously I only have a couple of weeks worth of experience with the Charge, I got it the day they released it a couple Saturdays ago. But I drive a truck so I am in and out of a lot of different 4G areas. I run speedtest.net as I am going through areas and I find the speeds on average to be well above what you are claiming here. Not only am I running the speed tests, they are being run on my laptop which is connected to the phone via wifi hotspot. Have I seen some 4-5dn/1-2up 4g speeds? Sure but I have also seen 21.6/8.5 in the greater Cincinnati area !! So far I have been able to test speeds in Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, OH, Cincinnati, Charlotte, NC. The vast majority of the time I am seeing speeds of between 10 & 15 mbps on the downstream with 12mbs being a fair average. Suprisingly enough, much of the time the upstream speeds are similar to the downstream!! From my experience, the ping times are 75ms on average with a high in the 110 range and low of about 65ms. This is real world testing in many different 4g areas ...

As for the Charge? I love it. I personally don't like the feel of the HTC Sense overlay. I know many love it and good for you!! Plus, the T-Bolt doesn't even come with Swype installed on it !! As stated, I am all over the place and I have never once had any type of issues with lack of signal. I am on the phone a heck of a lot during the course of my day and it has always been rock solid ...
[Verizon Droid Charge] sir2545:
I drive a truck also and I can agree with you. My Co-Driver has the Bolt and our 4G speeds are close most of the time. The Bolt does get better ping times sometimes, and it kicks the Charge's ass in a Quadrant test, but Im assuming that's due to more RAM. On another note, both of our phones were charged this morning and ATM mine is at 40% and his just died.

Another thing I really love about this phone is the media player. Its AWESOME! That was a really big issue for me, as I listen to alot of music and I like it loud. I've had the OG, DX, the Thunderbolt, and I still have an iPhone, and the media player on this phone kills all of the others. With the exception of the iPhone, the others don't get loud enough. The music clarity even trumps the iPhone and I have a $500 set of Shure headphones that I listen with.

My opinion is that the Charge is a great phone and even though the Thunderbolt is faster, its at the expense of poor battery life. Once the developers open this phone up though I think it is really gonna make a big difference. It may not be the fastest, but its well-rounded and will be a great phone to ensure you keep that Unlimited data plan, until something better comes along.
[Verizon Droid Charge] -Pagan-:
Upgraded from my problematic Thunderbolt and no regrets. I love the Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
As everyone else before me replied, I also have both. I definitely prefer the Charge over the TB, but really it depends on the end user: you. Which do you like better? Which can you see yourself using for a while?

You can read over a thousand posts from people like us, and each will prefer one over the other. So take everyones replies with a grain of salt, including mine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cdmarch:
I have the tbolt and my cousin has the charge. I think they are both great phones.

The charge has a better screen and battery life (out of the box) imo.

The tbolt I believe has better dev support atm, since the charge just came out. People complain about the battery of the tbolt, but im rooted with the extended battery, in 4g area and my battery lasts 1 1/2 days on moderate to heavy use.

I think the pros and cons to each are slim, it just depends on what you prefer. Go to the Verizon store and compare them both. I think you will be happy either way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bbeelzebub:
Thank you for all your input!

I luckily had my lost DINC returned to me today, so I'm still going to go tomorrow and check out the Droid Charge and see if it begs me to take it home. Now, I just am not so desperate.

While I love everything about HTC phones, I think the display on the TB looks like crap. I got my DINC the day it came out before the amoled shortage and the switch to SLCD and that alone is the reason why I cried when I lost it. If the Thunderbolt got better battery life and had a nicer display, I'd def. go that route.... but until HTC brings an LTE phone to Verizon with a display as nice as the ones Samsung makes... I think I'm moving towards Samsung. I'm just trying to weigh the positives and negatives of going with the Charge now or seeing what else Samsung throws our way and when Verizon officially pulls the plug on unlimited data. (Not that I'm a data hog, but with 4G and all the great things that it can do, it seems pointless to be limited for something that doesn't cost them nearly as much as they are passing on to us.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] BirdOPrey5:
The Charge is the first "modern phone" I had in years. My previous was an HTC Windows Mobile at least 3 years old, maybe older than that. And before that were Palm phones.

I spent time debating between the Thunderbolt and the Charge and I really couldn't be happier I went with the Charge. I'm in NYC so I have 4G all the time pretty much. Speed tests as high as 25 mbps down and 10 up.

My deciding factor on the Charge vs. Thunderbolt was battery life. I can't imagine having to constantly keep a Thundebolt plugged in all day and 8 hours of life with average use was not acceptable to me at all. The Charge battery life I can live with. I just went 2 days without charging it with light use, and even under heavy use a nightly charge is all that is needed.

Unfortunately I took the OTA update as soon as I turned it on so hoping for a new rooting possibility so i can remove/freeze the bloatware but that would have been an issue with the thunderbolt too.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] NeroCat:
I have modified the Video player (nothing fancy) to not show the lock Icon when you lock the phone. I found that icon to be rather annoying.

So for those of you who also feel dissatisfaction in that feature, here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29667864/VideoPlayer.apk

push with a file manager such as Root Explorer to system/app and set permissions to the same as the native one. (you may want to rename the native one to VideoPlayer.apk.bak in case you decide to go back)

[G Tablet General] dreday28:
So i bought the Gtab to root and loving the device so far! I didn't really know which ROM to pick so I went with Vegan Ginger RC1...

My question is, which ROM runs the fastest (clean, crisp) and is most reliable. After searching around, I really dont need gingerbread but I am huge on speed. Any suggestions for a newb? Thanks
[G Tablet General] raphenucleus:
I really like CyanogenMod 7. It's fast and the stable versions are always reliable. They also release "nightlies", which come out every night and have the latest features and bug fixes; however, the stable versions are released quite often (I think more often than most ROMs for the gtab), so I usually stick with those since I know they're going to work well. A lot of people will tell you to go with a froyo ROM because they have the hardware video acceleration drivers, but I honestly didn't see any improvement in video playback or compatibility (HD or standard def) over CM7 when I tried VEGAn TAB 5.1.1 (a froyo based ROM).

I'm also interested in trying the honeycomb port for the gtab, but since that's still in the alpha stages and many things still aren't working, I'm planning on sticking with CM7 until that becomes more stable. Regardless, when the Ice Cream Sandwich source is released, I'll probably go back to CyanogenMod, since they'll probably have a working ROM of it before anyone else (that's how it went when the gingerbread source was released [at least on the EVO; I don't know about the gtab, since I didn't have one at that point]).
[G Tablet General] dreday28:
Hey thanks for the reply.. i think i would like to get the latest froyo release.. how would i know the latest stable version of a froyo release?

Thanks again
[G Tablet General] raphenucleus:
CyanogenMod 6 was Froyo-based, but I did a quick search of the cyanogenmod site and I couldn't find any links for it, so I'm not sure if it's available any more. If you want to go with Froyo, I'd say go with VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1 or Calkulin. There are other Froyo-based ROMs floating around, but the two I mentioned seem to be the most popular. You can find links to both of those in the Development section of this forum.

Another thing to think about is kernels. Most people seem to say use Clemsyn for Froyo and Pershoot for Gingerbread.
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
Get up to date with the 1.2 boot loader; then for a FroYo build use Roebeet's Brilliant Corners.
