@alodar1. Yea I think takes it out of debug mode LG effed up Paul O'Brien made the patch basically I think apps open better. I know for sure scrolling is better and startup is faster an overall smoother expierience....oh and it does nothing for quadrant u want high scores grab fauxs. Rom and kernel. And if u want EVERYTHING pretty much stable. Eaglesblood froyo 1.0.5 ......I love it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Did I read that faux is no longer a preferred developer...??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I agree that it does helps but not very noticeable. The reason I want to keep it stock is for the gingerbread update.

I have tried all EBs, CM7, Faux ROM, Bionix, Ultimate and might be forgetting some other ROM, I keep coming back to stock, I think is the most beautiful looking and want to be ready for the Gingerbread update.

But if I had to flash a ROM would be EB 1.05, Great ROM.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Ok...I'm gonna jump in with a rom....I read about wipe wipe....I noticed in recovery....wipe cache and wipe system/facotry reset....

which one first....or does it make a difference?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Ok this way has never failed me....once .....u obviously put rom on your sdcard, or as some people say the root of it. I just click on it with my mouse and drag it over on to my external sdcard. Ok so now that it's on my phone I unmount sdcard from computer (turn off USB) then go into recovery I wipe data factory reset, then wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the rom. Let it do its thing if its cm u need to install gapps too do that rite after rom and woila ! Done boot up and if u want a kernel just wipe cache and dalvik in recovery no need for data wipe same applies. For a rom update like a nightly just wipe cache then dalvik, install, boot up. Like I said when going to totally different. Roms. Or a new rom follow the first process wipe data, cache, then dalvik
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Ok..cool...thanks...did it...works great. Forgot the google apps...had to go back and get them. I noticed Gmail is not part of the apps....I seem to recall something about this...but damned if I can find that thread now. Gmail is not part of the google apps that you know of?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
ok..I found gmail...the latest build of gapps does not include it. I dropped back to the 527 build and got the standard apps.

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
How do u like it so far
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
So far just playing around. Did faux and eagle then restored. Had a serious lag in both roms when scrolling up or down. .but didn't spend too much time looking after it. I'll play more tomorrow. But anyone doubting what's available on this device is nuts. Even with the lads, either this baby was rocking. Didn't touch the kernel though. Haven't read up yet on which to use and how to do it..something for tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Stock owner don't NEED to do anything. My phone was fine without the patch. I did it just to see what the fuss was about and didn't really see a difference. I'm actually looking for stock file to go back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
^^^ oh well thats weird it definitley made my phone more smoother overall if u read about pauls patch he says how lg effed up big time and left the device in debug mode which in turn i think causes the device to lag sometimes particulary when scrolling, lockscreen takes a few swipes....after i applied the patch i noticed immediately the difference in scrolling and smoothness
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea im running cm's rom it is very nice that and eb froyo 1.0.5......on cm tho im loving the extra features and having netflix on there with the hack, definitley nice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
There is still some confusion out there with respect to this patch, ROM's versus kernels, and which ROM's need the patch:

1. Understand that this only changes a system file (I think services.jar) that is not written over by a custom KERNEL, so the "fix" survives the kernel flashing and is still beneficial.

2. With respect to stock FROYO based custom ROM's (like EB Froyo's) - has this fix been incorporated in their respective system file or is it still advisable to still flash this on them.

3. For all 2.3.x CM ROMs - this does not apply.

I think it would be helpful if this was clearly spelled out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
You won't see a difference but I can sure bet that this has something to do with the random reboots and sluggishness people get a week or two down the line. This fixes the mess LG made in the filesystem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
there is no doubt the sluggishness was gone. snappier...who is to say...if you have to think about it, it doesn't matter. If you're stock...why not do it...couldn't hurt.

I am a touch confused about whether it should be done with new roms? I think I'm reading that with cm no. 2.3 and above roms, no. I'm too new to android flashing to understand the entire process yet. Kernel vs. ROM. I assume both are flashed in their own space, separate from each other. Kernel is like the motor that a ROM used to drive the hardware. But I am just guessing right now. And where would this patch fall?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I believe the patch is of the ROM. I requested a clarification in a previous post and still think someone laying it all out would be helpful to many.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yeah, ROM other than stock and EB based ROMs, does not need the patch.

Sent From My Stock G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Your understanding about ROM and Kernels are pretty accurate, the patch would fall into the ROM.

Basically turns off the engineering mode that LG forgot to turn off, creating a huge overhead to the whole system and probably the cause of some of the sluggishness and reboots. Having said that I'm running completely stock, no patch or anything. I'm not sure if it would affect the update process when it is available so I want to keep it as stock as possible.

Seriously, I'm not experiencing sluggishness or reboots at all. What I did though, was freeze some of the apps that came pre-install and is been running great since.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
To flash a kernel then....exact same process as anything else?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
And, for the record....I am definitely preferring talking about this stuff...rather than the Sensation :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] y0yoy0:
thanks for posting your experience. i'm leaning the same direction as you.

to clarify, all i would need to do is root my g2x and then use one of the available 'freezer' apps to streamline my phones start-up load, correct?

side bar: did you install cwm also to make backups, or are you not concerned with that considering you're not flashing kernals/roms?

thanks, much!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Same process as flashing ROMs. It is recommendable though to flash the kernel right after you flash the ROM but not necessary and yes, I find this way more fascinating rather than talking about that other phone lol

Sent From My Stock G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yeah root it and install a freezer. I personally use Bloat Freezer. Is a dollar in thr android market.

Yeah, I did flash CWM recovery since I see it as a very needed and handy tool.

I would strongly recommend flashing the CMW recovery since if you get into a bootloop you can get into the recovery and restore your nandroid or flash your desired ROM.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] y0yoy0:
so you *do* install cwm recovery and make a stock backup (nandroid?)

thanks again... just trying to get all of the terminology/technology squared in my mind. this is my first android, after all. :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yes, flash the CWM Recovery and make a Nandroid which means backup :)

What I would recommend you doing is after you have CWM:

Factory reset your phone

Make a Nandroid of your freshly factory reset phone

Then tweak it and add all the stuff you want and then do a Nandroid of how you want your phone.

Thatway you will always have your freshly factory reseted backup ( Nandroid)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
THANKS....final android noob question. To restore to stock kernel??? or did the backup I did earlier, nandoid...cover that?

Not that I intend to ever restore for return purposes, it was nice to have the restore option to go back to original....does that same restore option, restore the kernel, if changed?

I just noticed that the kernel on my phone...2.6.32.41-cm7-faux123-v0.2.6 is on my system. I would assume that was installed with the ROM. Any kernel I install now would be to change that kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea alodar when u made that nandroid it kept your stock kernel so ur good to go when u restore back that's what is great about a nandroid its basically a photo of rite when u nandroided and when u go back its how it was. And to the second part of the question I'm guessing ur running faux rom his come with his kernels some rom's don't although most developers are adding them in now that there's kernel support
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
This doesn't do anything but take the phone out of debug mode which isn't noticeable out of the gate... but it does prevent it from running out of memory and falling on its face.

My phones always been a rock but it would slow to a crawl while running stock and no patch.

It does work as they've used it on the O2x for a while now.

Custom roms don't need this. It was the first thing we recommended but somehow got forgotten about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
One question on "custom" ROMs. Did the Dev's of the froyo ROMs incorporate this patch in their ROMs, or like stock ROM, does it still need to be flashed on them? I know N/A on GB ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
After having spent the weekend rooting and flashing, I've reverted back to my original Nandroid backup running the stock with patch. Its smoother, faster, better battery life and more reliable than any of the custom roms at this time. IMO.....I'm sure after GB that will change and I will hop back on the flash bandwagon. Continual battery issues, reboots, gps issues, I even had 1 rom that started setup multiple times, during setup...too much for an android noob like me. Stock give me battery consitency and a lack of surprises...at a time when my familarity with a new OS (to me) offers a lack of troubleshooting options. So, with that said...I'm not moving to the sensation ;) , just sticking with stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
You might take a small step and stick with it as an alternative. That is to flash Faux stock kernel and tinker with the OC and UV settings until you get one that is totally stable for you.

You will then have all stock apps and stable performance plus a faster and possibly better battery life if you set up the right profiles on SETCPU,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I could...and I might. But, I'm not familar at all with Android. And though I am not a noob at flashing as such, the time to play and learn at this moment is something I don't have. There are many threads about How to do this stuff. But most are written by people who know how...to people that should know how. Few are written for the person that wants to learn.

I read a thread about How to get started rooting..for noobs. The first line said...this assumes you have ADB. I'm like....huh? The first premise is.. an assumption I have something...when I'm a noob looking for that something.

But...with alot of help, I pieced it together. Like I said...only a noob on Android. Working within Windows Phone for years...I know the risks...done the unlockers for bootloaders....bricked and bricked lots of phones....just moving into a new OS...I have concepts in my head...but no details...yet...to back them up.

I'm fairly sure I have the basics done. Next stage will be the things you talk about..the tweeks....getting under the hood. I'm sure that will come soon. Once you begin to flash anything....you have to flash everything...becomes a blood thing...I know this. But until the GB drivers and such come out...there will always be a confusion for me....because of the Hybrid kernels and tools people use to bypass limitations. Though that is great to know ...after the fact...its tough to learn on. So I'll wait a while....

I personally believe GB is not far away. My last phone was a Dell Venue Pro. They are finally getting to fix the issues in a firmware release...7 months after release. I think in the Android world...7 months is quite a few lifetimes. Without a fix ASAP, the phone gets passed by. Though my phone works fine, having the latest of the greatest is always nice. I have a Sensation here with GB...and I'm sure its nice. Side by Side with the G2x you don't notice much of that stuff.

Anyway...thanks for the feedback...and I will look into that stuff... a little later
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Most likely. I'm pretty sure EaglesBlood does but other roms may not. You can flash it over any stock rom and it shouldn't hurt. I know earlier Eaglesblood roms it was still required but I think it was incorporated within the second release.

If it is a STOCK-based FROYO rom then it won't hurt to flash this over it. I don't know how it will affect Gingerbread roms.

This is why everyone should do NVFLASH and perform a NANDROID backup so that if they try something and it fails, you aren't stuck with a bootlooper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I was concerned about flashing it and possibly messing up the file (services.jar I believe) if the developer had made other changes to it and flashing the fix would write over that file,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Hence why there is a thing called NANDROID backup.

Plus if you are on any

recent custom rom

, you probably don't need it anyway. It could be the simple answer to solve all problems or you might find it doesn't do anything (if it was already applied)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Lol - I have more nandroids then they have ROMs. Not just as a backup, but to more around between froyo (everything works), EB, and CM7 - with and without Ext 4 kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
then your good!

Hi guys I have question, I got the g2x about 2 weeks ago and i never did any root to it ( also because i am a noob with android). I am having battery problems like only holding a charge for 7 hrs with moderate use , but also the battery gets really hot. Will this patch fix this issues?????Also , if you root the phone is there a way to reverse the process if you need to return the phone to tmobil ?? thank you guys.

The overheating issues might be the battery, called T-Mobile and let them know about that and the patch might help with it burlt not fix the problem.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
The parch may help with the battery, but that is probably a result of a lot of bloatware running in the background, and letting sync and other stuff run all the time.

There are stock ROM's and firmware threads and instructions on going back to stock - so the answer is - yes you can go back to stock including stock recovery.

To start, you have to root. the once-click tool root works well.

You then need to NVflash a recovery. There is an excellent guide and tool to handle flashing the recovery,

Then - before anything else = make a nandroid of your stock ROM as-is. Then you could restore it, unroot, flash back stock recovery, format internal SD, and factory reset and you are back to out-of-the-box stock.

At a minimum, you could then install Titanium Backup and freeze (not delete) bloatware apps. Note - if you don't know what it does - don't freeze it. Then install SETCPU, and set up some profiles - starting with screen-off. By doing these - you should make some major progress in extending you battery life.

Next baby step - flash faux stock kernel (read and follow the OP) and you will have a fully functional and fairly fast froyo ROM/kernel application.

If all works well - in a few weeks you can graduate to nightly crack-flasher with CM7 nightlies. Just make sure you make a number of additional nandroids along the way - you can go back to any one of them at any time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nikorambo:
Thank you @gaww for the help. Will have to do a lot of research now and get back with the results, some of the terms as nandroid am not familiar with but that's just for been a noob. When you posted "in a few weeks i can go to the CM7 nightlies", is because i have to monitor if the phone is stable ?. Thanks again

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I just flashed this. Anybody who used to get slow Downs and most importantly reboots before flashing this, are you still getting any? Today is my last chance to return the sensation but need to know my G2X is going to be stable. The sensation is as solid as a rock but not as fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Sorry about "nandroid". This is simply of a backup of the ROM - which includes everything but the installed Recovery - which is not affected by wiping or restoring.

Your G3X is most likely going to be very stable with stock and this patch. Most issues people have is doing all the flashing and having issues with residual bits and pieces form previous flashes accumulate and cause most of the problems you will notice when reading through the development threads.

Going to the nightlies in a few weeks was a tong-in-cheek statement that after you got comfortable and experimenting with different ROMs (with success of course), you would end up waiting for the next nightly to be put up so you could try the latest one out like so many on XDA.

It (crack-flashing) can get so addictive for some that there are now crack-flasher anatomist 12 step programs modeled on AA for the severely addicted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well it worked for a lot of people, including myself, from the O2x and G2x forums (They posted it here, as linked in the first post).

Slow downs = reboots. This patch fixes the "falls on its face" stuff that occurs after a few hours of running.

You could always return the Sensation today to trial out the G2x. Worst case is that you buy it again later.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nikorambo:
@moshe22 , i have called T-mobile for the battery issue and the rep did not want to help at all , she said there is an issue with the 4G signal that tries to reconnect all the time and it makes the processors overwork and therefore heating up and wasting the battery. So, any battery replacements will be useless until they come up with a software update ( by the way the update she said might come in September LOL)= her words. I think is not a software problem but a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
This is the first credible cause for the issues I've heard. I used the g2x abroad so was on 2g and I had no reboots or crashes. I came back home and it rebooted almost right away. Maybe people having issues can try using only 2g and see if they still have issues?
