[LG Optimus 2x] spadb:
You don’t need to change your ROM to get the best from your 2x, just a rooted stock ROM and a couple of apps that will change things dramatically. One thing I’ve noticed on the 2x is its memory management is too lenient and gets consumed quickly by background tasks etc. In no time I was down to 40-30Mb free memory and then my phone would run like a dog resulting in a reboot as the only solution.

Installing task and app killers are not the way, as they’ll only give you a short respite before the apps and background tasks you killed relaunch.

However, there is a solution.

1)Root your phone using SuperOneClick (piece of cake, instruction already on this forum)

2)Install “AutoKiller Memory Optimizer” by AndRS Studio free from the market

Optional

3) Install “Watchdog Task Manager” by Zolmut LLC (There’s a free or Paid version) I paid!

4) Install “Root App Remover” by Best of Best Android app

AutoKiller is not a task killer/manager it reconfigures Androids inbuilt memory manager to kill or suppress memory usage by applications and tasks. I now always have about 140-170MB free RAM at all times regardless of what I’m doing (but I do close my apps with the back button rather than click home)

AutoKiller Memory Optimizer Settings

I’ve used the ‘Extreme’ settings to ensure I have around 150MB free, and this makes a huge difference in everything I do with the phone.

----------Optional things you may want to consider-----------

Watchdog

Yeah, I know this is a task killer but Watchdog is different from other task mangers as it monitors CPU usage rather than free RAM, 3D Gallery for example is a CPU hog on my 2X, so I configured it to be killed if it consumes more than 30% CPU whilst running in the background, you’d be surprised what saps your battery!

Root App Remover

Uninstall the tosh supplied on the ROM, I removed the following, AndroidBackup (I use Titanium Backup), CarHome, F-Secure_Mobile_Security, SNS (If you’re not using the built in Facebook and Twitter app).

I also use LauncherPro with Beautiful Widgets to give my phone an almost HTC Sense look and feel and uninstalled LG Home using Root App Remover afterwards.

Hope it makes a difference for you, it did for me, vote if you like :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
What do you think having 140-170MB RAM free at all times actually does?

Guess what? Nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] spadb:
I disagree, my phone runs way better now, maybe due to the fact that in part it’s killing more background tasks and enforcing better garbage collection. I want a phone that when I go to it, it responds immediately, I don’t want my phone to chug along whilst a new app is launched and android then decides to kill lower priority background tasks resulting in a choppy experience. These are my findings, and I wanted to share them. As a result using this particular application I now have a phone I can enjoy, rather than being frustrated by pausing, choppiness etc.

I would welcome your reasoning to why my post is useless, or explain why my phone is now running so well? Are you saying I’m suffering a placebo effect? Remember, this app is not a task killer, it reconfigures Androids internal memory management, see here:

http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/details

and

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/158846-autokiller-vs-setcpu.html#post1452069

Finally, I’m very happy with the results.

[LG Optimus 2x] frittenpiekse:
Here are some screenshots, tested with AnTuTu Benchmark

The first one is v10c stock, some apps like f-secure, carapp etc frozen, second one is with using autokiller memory with preset extreme, third one is to compare, this was while using cm7.1 rc

now we'll see if autokiller works stable ^^

edit: realized that with cm7 something seemed to be wrong with the sd-card, so don't forget to compare the single-scores
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I'm sure Rusty knows what he is talking about. Thing is, this talk about "the more free ram the better" has been repeated so many times, and at the end of the day, it seems to be more about user preference.

The default LG ROM seems to allow tasks to run in the background until it reaches around 50MB free RAM, then it starts to close tasks one by one. For multi-taskers like me, this is fine, I love how I can switch between facebook, tweetdeck, miren browser, google+, gmail, and messaging without seeing the apps reload.

For some, they'd want to open a task, close it, and move on to another without looking back. I guess that is where the 100MB of RAM is good for.

If you guys will be looking at benchmarks, I can guarantee that you will have higher scores with RAM optimizers. As benchmarks do not test multitasking, they simply check the performance of your phone at that point in time. (Which is also why some modders pump up their CPU freq to insane values before doing their bench then posting it.)

I have nothing against AKMO, and I find it very effective for Froyo builds. But I would recommend that each user try it out themselves. It's not a "1 fix for all" thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
I'll just say this once: Free RAM is wasted RAM. If you feel´your phone is slow try adding some swap space :)
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Does O2X already support swap space in EXT? (Or are your referring to VM heap?)
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Doesn't play well with Fr19 at all (2 reboots in 2 minutes). Maybe I touched some settings that I shouldn't though.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Yeah, FR19 is one of the more stable ROMs out there. Try full wipe then reflash maybe.

soo, i flashed a new rom, after rebooting i realised that my internad sd card is missing

i could find it in mnt/emmc but the phone wasnt using it at all...

long story short i checked some forums and i found out you can edit the vold.fstab and get it working... Now theres another problem, my vold.fstab is Read only ( few failed atempts to change it)

i found another solution which included terminal emulator- this one worked like a charm BUT i have to retype and unmount-mount that everytime i reboot my phone ... i personally find it silly

sooooo is there any other solutions, or some guide how to change the premission on my vold.fstab so i can edit it? or am i forced to buy a SDcard

Everything on /system is read only by default.

'adb remount' will sort that.
[LG Optimus 2x] Gorgice:
So how do you remount? Sorry, im new to this stuff
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
adb remount is a command sent from your PC to the phone. I figured if you were messing about with system files you'd have an idea what you're up to ;)

To make it all simple, get Root Explorer, that has a nice R/W button that you tap, make your changes and tap it again to go back to R/O

THANKS it worked with the root explorer!

[Thunderbolt Accessories] rickyray9:
I got the Seidio Convert case (extended battery version) for my TBolt, and I have to say, it's almost perfect for what I do.

Front View

It holds pretty securely on my Uncle Mike's Deluxe Basketweave Duty Belt, with one minor exception.... (Continue reading)

Back View (with velcro open)

The majority of the duty belt material was too thick for the clip hook to slide into, so I had to put it into a layer of the thinner leather designed to adjust belt width...

Back View (with velcro closed)

The clip fits in like a charm and the velcro is able to stick. I wouldn't want my phone anywhere else on the belt but the front, so it's a compromise I'm willing to work with.

Hanging on duty belt

This is the small exception to my otherwise complete satisfaction. When the clip is on the belt in normal wear, the belt isn't wide enough to fit into the hook, so the hook hangs down. It's no big deal though, because the hook secures itself in a layer of leather when the clip gets raised (as seen in next picture)

Pulled up on duty belt

So there you have it. It won't fall out when I have to run, but it does have a slight jiggle to it.

and I have my fully charged 1350 battery as a backup just in case!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Yes, the belt it dirty. I place my active x extended case on the same spot. Its my day off so I just threw the belt on my bed and snapped a picture.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I highly recommend you try the newest CM7 + newest ota radio. You'll get at least a full 24 hours out of it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rickyray9:
nice bro, always good to see another boy in blue (or brown/green/tan/khaki/etc.)

if I may make one suggestion to your belt though, keep your OC Spray on the support side. I know it's crowded over there, but you don't want any delay in case of an escalation of force situation... plus you'll still have use the spray if someone is grabbing onto your gun and your strong side is busy.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
That's why I got my kabar, jk. I've tried using it weak side but there is no room. We aren't issued speaker mics so it makes removing the radio near impossible. Not like our radios work to transmit. I can easily reach it with both hands. And I know the reach around is not the ideal thing to do in the field.

Nope, there are several different lines of case by seidio. The OP has the covert and i have the active x. The covert has three layers while the active x has two layers of protection.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rickyray9:
haha I understand completely. I've got a 34" waist... so no "tactical girth" there

Thank you for serving in the corps brother. Count your blessings with the cargo pants... most civilian police departments don't utilize them for the standard patrol uniform, we'd have to be wearing a tactical uniform to get them, and even then we'd only be allowed to wear the tactical uniform on certain jobs (like lake patrols.) the only pockets civilian cops have are the two front pockets on the blouse, haha. my monadnock and duty weapon make the other two inaccessible.

I'm glad you got the extended battery too. nothing is worse than needing to talk to dispatch or another officer/deputy/trooper over the phone and having a dead bolt.

Thank you, sir! Always proud to do it, and always fair doing it :)

The process is slightly different that I was used to. Instead of installing a zip from the sd card in Clockwork, you do a restore.

You unzip the stock system.img to a subfolder in clockwork/backup, than do a restore through Clockwork, selecting the stock you just put there.

Root and warranty

I am a little concerned about the report of a users phone root voiding a replacement. Think about it for a minute, Android is open source and freedom to write apps is encouraged by all manufact. When you root a phone, the software is not illegal, the Google market sells root apps for other phones. Do you think the manufacturers would allow the official marketplace to sell apps that could void warranties? BS, this sounds like Sony's attempt to deny PS3 owners replacements after their required sys updates would brick their consoles. I had a buddy whose console froze up and he had to get an attorney to file a complaint before they would warranty it. If that happened to me I would file with the BBB or protest loudly at VZN.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hairyfart:
Im kinda new to this but i have been reading & trying for a few days before asking for help but i feel i am stuck now.

I have gone through the process & installed a small rom with clockworkmod using a 150mb partition & it went ok.

Now i want to install a larger rom eg. pyramid_HTC_WWE_1.35.401.1_v1.5_EU.zip (338mb) using clockworkmod & this is where i have the problem, i have followed the steps but when installing the rom it freezes just under halfway install.

Using bootloader I have now used Task29 for a clean install, then installed MAGLDR113, using MAGLDR i used option 5 (USB flasher) & installed the unzipped () to make a partition for the larger rom.

After reboot i went to magldr option 8.AD Recovery & loaded clockworkmod, advanced then partition SD card, chose EXT size=1024, swap size=0M then rebooty.

Now am i supposed to see 4 partitionson my SD card because i cant?

one page i read that i should now transfer my ROM.zip to my Sd card, & i also read on another page that i should go to "mounts & storage" & chose "format sd-ext" I have tried both ways!

With the rom.zip on my card, i chose the "install zip from sdcard" option etc, it installs to just under half way then just stays there for ages, how long should this take for a 338mb zip file?

So i giveup, battery out & try it with a smaller zip (hyperdroid-cm7) 69mb zip & it installs ok, so where am i goin wrong??

Q1, after partitioning the SD card am i supposed to see 4 partitions on the card? because i dont, maybe i should partition it on my pc, do i just divide it into 4 partitions & name then ext, ext1, ext2, ext3? or is there a guide for doin it on ur pc?

Q2.can anyone see where else i might be going wrong?

I feel i am just doin the same thing over & over so thanks for any help you can give.

Something strange i have noticed that if i use the HD2 toolkit to try & create a 400mb partition i get an error sayin something about not enough space, i have to use a seperate Recovery_400M.zip that i downloaded from the NFEUMAN pages?
