And here we go...

Gotcha. Well, you can still flash any ROM by reinstalling CWM Recovery via NVFlash; you don't need root to do that. But migrating the data from your apps - at least the system ones - might be difficult. You could try MyBackup Pro (costs $) which I believe does non-system apps+data. System apps+data is, as you know, root only, unfortunately. I guess it depends on what you need, but hopefully that helps.

(Sigh) Might want to re-think that statement. Having root has nothing to do with flashing a ROM on the G2x. You can have non-rooted stock anything installed and flash any ROM with CWM Recovery installed via NVFlash. No root needed. The "big deal" is that people want to root the LG Updater 2.3.3 due to the new bootloader (which Xboarder's does not have).

Forgive me then for writing that you did not post it. I simply could not find it no matter how hard I looked. If you can post a link to your post that explained how you rooted it, I'll be glad to edit my original post to include that. That way, even if someone doesn't read your response or this post, they'll still get the explanation in my first post.

As far as my concerns, I still think they were warranted. I obviously am not the only one who could not find how you rooted & when you "jumped ship" after getting flack, that just raised a flag for me. It's just because I've seen that kind of action before from people who have actually copied others work. Hence, my cautiousness. But they were just concerns, as I stated before, not trash talking.

Even so, I do apologize if I offended you; wasn't intended. I was just "documenting" my concerns so they were explained and not just "Xboarder's ROM sucks, man!" like some other idiots would post (Note: I don't think your ROM sucks, that was just an example). I think we'd both agree that those are the people that can make XDA a pain at times.

Hopefully, that clears some things up for the both of us and for others here. Sorry that you feel G2x owners are "rude and mean" - I assure we all are not - but best of luck with the Sensation (especially now that HTC finally unlocked the bootloader!).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pdxmatts:
I have the new baseband through LG updater, I wanted root for TB and other root apps I like to use. I was referring to the remark about not liking X's Rom. Use another. I wanted stock plus root and that is what you get with X's Rom plus optimized & bloat removed. His Rom is the most solid that I have tried.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xboarder56:
Is that better for you dic http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15869474&postcount=51

You are totally being a jerk to people in this thread like pdxmatts she was just trying to help out and you are one of the reasons im glad i left the g2x place even though most people wanted me to stay. And ask anyone abought my mix build it wasnt a straight copy there was edits made to make if faster compare nightly 88 and my build see which is more stable. Do better research before you be a complete dic to members and developers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PseudoChris:
nvm, weird errors passed after a couple attempts...

NVFlash works great. Time to get back to CM7.

p.s. @xboarder56: Please take the apology and stop calling the guy a jerk. He seemed to explain his position as "wary", rather than "hostile" as best as he could. This is merely coming from someone who likes peaceful and productive discussion in any forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Moving on...

Thanks for that post. Nice to know that my response and post were understood, at least by some. Like you said, it was just "peaceful and productive discussion" and that's all, but I did want to make sure I apologized because without a face, anything can be taken the wrong way.

That's what XDA is for and why I love it so much. There are a ton of people on here who have taught me so much and a lot who I've gotten to help out, too. It's a great community. Too bad some have to resort to name calling, but that is life, I suppose. Doesn't ruin XDA for me. I'm not sure anything would...except maybe if it became iXDA :D

Ah, I haven't gotten a good Apple/Steve Jobs joke in here for awhile; I'm getting rusty!

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but, even so, as I promised, I've edited my post to include your...response.

Oh, and for the record, I don't believe I have disseminated intravascular coagulation. I'm not sure where you got that impression from, but you seem to repeat it a lot. Are you a doctor? Man, I hope I don't have it, at least... :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 29akash:
doesnt your phone need to be rooted to use/do NV Flash? i followed instructions (everything going good) up until putting battery back in and pressing vol - and power. i never got the ANDROID message, and got a empty box with a droid character outside of the box, what does this mean?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
No, your phone does NOT need to be rooted to flash CWM recovery via NVFlash. "Rooted" only applies to the actual ROM (i.e. Operating System).

Make sure to install the drivers FIRST, then take our your battery, hold BOTH the VOL UP and DOWN buttons (Don't let go), plug in your USB cable, launch NVFlash and flash whichever recovery you wish (Do NOT let go of the VOL UP and DOWN buttons until it is finished). Once you're done, unplug the cable and put the battery back in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] imdukman:
root for 2.3.3-

I just got a g2x on 8-09-2011 with 2.3.3 new at T-Mobile. What I want to do is to get permanent root tried super one click did not work found this post and still not sure what to do. Just want to root and try different roms.Had a rooted sensation and the g2x is a better phone not rooted please help non rooted 2.3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Ah, so they are loading the new ones with 2.3.3. Rumors confirmed!

Anyways, yup, Super One Click doesn't work on 2.3.3 (yet), but luckily, you don't need to root it to get a custom recovery and flash a rooted ROM.

Follow steps II-IV here. Just skip section I, even though it says you need to do it; you don't, I assure you (I have no idea why they say you do).

NOTE: Make sure when you're flashing the recovery (the part where it's attached with no battery), DO NOT LET GO OF THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL THE PROMPT IS FINISHED. Otherwise, you'll just have to do it again (and wasted time sucks). I say it because it's the most common mistake for people to let go before it's done (I did it!).

Once you're done, you can boot into your brand new CWM Recovery by holding down VOL DOWN + POWER. And the first thing you should do is make a backup of the stock ROM you've got on it right now. Then, copy that backup somewhere safe for another day. That way, you've got a nice stock backup in case you need to return your bad boy to factory fresh for warranty reasons (and, in that case, you can also reflash the factory recovery, btw).

After that, you can flash whatever your heart desires from your recovery; no root needed (Root only applies to the ROM, not the ability to flash one). You can flash the one from this thread, which is just a rooted version of what you are running, or you can try some "exotics" and go with CM7, Bionix, EaglesBlood, etc.

Happy flashing! <-- ROMs, I mean...don't get yourself arrested at a football game on my account :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
So does it mean that after flashing "exotics" :p over that rooted one my phone would remain perma rooted or flashing anything over it would unroot the phone again?

Kinda lost :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Heh heh, it's OK, man. Everyone starts from somewhere. Believe me, we were all "newbs" at one point, too. Don't sweat it; that's what XDA is for.

"Root" only applies to the ROM. ROM meaning the actual version of Android you are currently running at any given time; whether that be stock Froyo or Gingerbread or a custom build like CyanogenMod, EaglesBlood, etc. "Root" is basically like full administrative access on a Windows PC. It has to be applied to a ROM for a ROM and/or phone to be considered "rooted."

There is also what is called a "recovery" partition, which is kind of like a small program that loads independent of the ROM and before the ROM loads. It's also located on a completely different part of your phone than the ROM. A custom "recovery" allows you to do many things, but for our conversation, it allows you to flash any ROM, stock or rooted, and also to make backups of what you are currently running.

Now that we've got those two basics out of the way, on to your question. Flashing an "exotic" as I called it, or better known as a custom build, will not permanently root your phone forever; it will only remain rooted as long as you run that ROM. If you flash another, it will erase the current ROM and replace it with whatever you are flashing. If what you are flashing is a rooted ROM, you'll have root. If it is not, you will not, but you will still have your custom recovery, which is the most important part and 99% permanent (you pretty much have to consciously try to get rid of a custom recovery, so don't worry). So, that means that you can always restore a backup of a rooted ROM, or flash a new one.

So, basically, it boils down to this: If you want "root", you can root your stock ROM (currently only doable with stock Froyo, not Gingerbread yet) or flash any pre-rooted one from here in XDA. If you don't like it, boot back into recovery, erase data/factory reset & erase /cache and then flash something new. It's the beauty of a custom recovery; it's like a never ending toy store!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Thats what I call the answer :) thx a lot man
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Anytime, man. Not a problem.

Just remember to pass along the knowledge you learn in here to others someday when you get comfortable in android modding and hacking. Sometimes, I just link to someone else's response instead of writing a whole post; no sense in reinventing the wheel if someone else already did, you know? Anyways, learning and teaching is what XDA is all about. Share the wealth! (And have fun).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smpiff:
Okay, so I was linked here by another fellow XDA member(Thanks Alot).. BUT! I have read and tried everything to no avail. I recently updated to 2.3.3 off the Tmobile forum website wich i believed linked me to the LG update page. I am having trouble getting the notification application to work becasue it says i have to be [ROOT]ed. Again, ive tried to follow all the steps from above and have yet to figure out how to do it...I jst need the steps to be broken down in format...sorry if i sound super sped. But im here to learn from my fellow teachers right?:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Which "notification application" do you mean? SMS (texts)? Gmail?

If you just want to be on 2.3.3 and rooted, just follow what I said in this post. It's pretty step by step. Just take your time, read it all first, and you should be just fine. It's pretty darn hard to brick this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smpiff:
Well I'd like to get the highest version that is out right now 2.3.5? Not sure... If u can fill me in on that it be awsome!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NrikeCalderon:
It would be 2.3.5, I would suggest you install EagleBlood 2.3.5 it is a fantastic ROM! If not try CM7.

LG G2x EB 2.3.3 v. 1.07

Motorola Defy MIUI 108190
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay kades:
Does this erase all my apps once I flash the xboarders rom on top of my gb rom??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Nrike is right; EB is currently sporting 2.3.5, which is the highest phone build. Whitehawkx also has a G2x port of MIUI, which is also a 2.3.5 ROM, as well. And both (along with CM7, which is 2.3.4) run the Netflix instant watch app great :D

NOTE: MIUI is great, but VERY different from your normal Android experience (i.e. NO app drawer, etc.). I'd give EB a go first or CM7 (which seems to be indefinitely in the RC stage) before MIUI.

Ugh. Yeah, it probably will. You could use Google's built in backup feature in Settings or one on the Market, but unfortunately, since you're not rooted, you can't use something as complete as Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root. Good news is, once you're rolling a rooted ROM, you can use those to make your backups from then on.

But hey, Nandroid that bad boy first, and heck, flash Xboarder's over it. Worst case scenario is it won't boot and you just pull the battery, boot back into recovery and either Nandroid restore or wipe it all away and flash another ROM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianGM:
Hi

I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 in the UK and ship it to Israel. I want to be able to use the phone in English and Hebrew. I found a website and I quote the following:

"The system image included in the downloadable SDK platform provides a variety of built-in locales. In some cases, region-specific strings are available for the locales. In other cases, a default version of the language is used. The languages that are available in the Android 2.3 system image are listed below (withlanguage_country/region locale descriptor). The Android platform may support more locales than are included in the SDK system image

Finnish, Finland (fi_FI)

French, Belgium (fr_BE)

French, Canada (fr_CA)

French, Switzerland (fr_CH)

French, France (fr_FR)

Hebrew, Israel (he_IL)

Read more: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/440201_difference-between-android-15-and-22-and-23#ixzz1T3XjMPO4"

Can I assume that when I ship it to Israel I simply go into a part of the software and change from the default language to Hebrew? Or do I need to download a file from somewhere and install it into the OS?

Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Having my transformer side by side with the ipad makes it look like a toy in comparison.But I admit thatt have a slew of triple A games that Android is playing catch up on.The same games runs smoother on theirs than ours. Hopefully with the coming of ICS and hardware optimized and its supposed limitation on fragmentation we can see a handful of great titles. Then again that's me being optimistic .Different processors, different screen sizes etc. Its not looking too great.

I hate to use the F word, and I like that Nvidia is working with game developers to optimize games on their hardware, but fragmenting the game market like this is just as bad as any of the other fragmentation claims people make. Now there's not only Nvidia specific games (THD), but they are restricting them even more to specific chipsets? I'm fine with some games looking better on certain hardware, but don't tell me I can't play these new games because I only have a lowly Tegra 2, much less any of the other GPUs out there that are plenty capable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tomqman:
They will probably work on tegra 2 aswell. But with less flashy graphics. Like Riptide has gone from tegra only to a whole range of devices. I think most devs will just make universal games that take advantage of the extra power if its there
