Simple answers:

Case 1: I have no patience at all. I want a fully working rom now or sooner than now

Answer #1: This is not the phone for you. Go and buy a SGS2 and enjoy a fully working GB

Answer #2: Go and find another rom that can cope with your needs.

Case 2: I am patient and I want to give a hand. I realize that this is a beta rom based on an unfinished leaked rom

Answer #1: Try repeatedly the workarounds on page 2 following literally what I wrote there and give feedbacks

Answer #2: (shortcut) Download Paul's prebake at Modaco and extract services.jar from there and the problem will be solved. He already patched that file.

My personal preference: Case 2 Answer #1, because I have a fully functioning GPS here with 1.8 and it could be worthwhile to understand the reason why it works on some phones while it doesn't on others.
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
tryed the ginger and the elegance theme in THEME MORPHER

both got problems with Force closing apps , so for now this is a no-go
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
Not needed on our phone.

Tegra zone games are installable after market update? Here they are working...
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
TY very much for your feedback and for your effort. Theme morpher works fine with 1.7 and I haven't got time to test it with 1.8 because Erestor released the v20i compatible version when I was uploading my new release. Don't worry, it will work with next release for sure.
[LG Optimus 2x] myotepf:
I just test, and...no so it must be me, j've had to change a parameter, certainely in build.prop and it must be incompatible. I'll try to find.
[LG Optimus 2x] optimuspeed:
hi topogigi can you upload to a mirror site or dropbox etc v 1.8 cause in my country megaupload is banned !!
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
Not this evening for sure, here it's midnight and it's been a hard workday. CU tomorrow.
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
your welcome , always willing to test someting
[LG Optimus 2x] Craxx:
yes i will test a new version for morpher theme also:)
[LG Optimus 2x] squide:
I think I'll stick with 1.6 + sp1

and see how Paul's Gr3 going..

from 1.7 and above more unwanted stuff is insert into the ROM and make it bulky.

new feature, new problems..

hope there will be a lite version in the future. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Does the new version 1.8 have the new stock LG keyboard with swedish characters (Å Ä Ö) ? And if so, does Ö and Ä work? Anybody feeling like spending 30sec to test for me? :rolleyes:

Im on Modaco's v20i, and the Ä and Ö just gives L...
[LG Optimus 2x] myotepf:
Like in Modaco, key Ö and Ä give L, but you could have (Å Ä Ö) with key A and O.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Yeah I know, but I would like the standard keys to work to be able to write as fast as possible, I hate to have to stop and think of where to find those two keys, it slows the texting down alot. As Im used to typing with the gingerbread keyboard from market with working Å Ä Ö.

Thanks for testing it! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
Opinions are always respectable, but truth is beyond opinions. Anyone can read a changelog can also understand what kind of bloatware or unwanted stuff has been added from 1.6 to 1.8

You dislike overclock daemon, that's clear, but you also don't want to understand that it will silently kill itself if it senses other overclocking apps at boot time without causing any problem. You didn't bother to even look into the script, did you? And, the voltage and scheduler script you are actually using with pimpmycpu does not actually change the scheduler at boot time as it should. Did you know it? Oh, well, but that's pimpmycpu and it has an awesome GUI and it'so easy to deal with: no matter it doesn't fully work on my phone....

Every change I made, beginning from 1.7, has been performance oriented: no silly interface mod, no bloatware, nothing else than optimizations. So, what's the matter, dude?
[LG Optimus 2x] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
I have a problem with the launcher adw ex, is that every now and me desktop icons disappear and re-loaded for no apparent reason, ie for example to go away is out of file explorer, and when I go to the desktop, there are icons, but after a while are loaded again, I do not understand what happens.
[LG Optimus 2x] franky_z:
...tried the gps fix from pauls kitchen but still have the gps problem. tried settings in hidden menu, different gps_brcm_conf.xml (with nokia server)... strange...:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Sounds like your launcher is getting killed. Which ROM version are you at?

I'm still currently on 1.7 SP1 (I really want to help try 1.8, but I have internet download connection issues), and ADW EX is working "as expected" here.

Meaning I get launcher re-draws only if I'm coming from a memory intensive app. Like 9mm from Gameloft. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] sezerx:
Man im tryin so hard but i just cant find a single damn bug ,reading this thread is getting real hard almost like the cm7 thread .i realy respect the devs patience
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Topogigi's thread is even hotter than the CM7 thread I believe. It's really hard to catch up whenever Topogigi releases a new version.

D@mn your awesome ROM. :P
[LG Optimus 2x] ricardoropez:
I still experiment issues with the "application is not compatible with this device" . How can I fix it?

[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
Hi TopoGigi

I've read the first post (and followed the thread quite consistently but definately not all 200 pages) and it mentions that I should flash v1.8 only if I previously used v1.7 of your ROM.

I am on v1.7 WITHOUT SP1. I would assume that its not a problem for me to flash in v1.8 without me first performing a wipe since its mentioned in your first post that people coming from other ROMS should first flash in v1.6 and then v1.8.

A little more insight. I came from another ROM and I directly flashed in version 1.7. This being the case, is it still OK to flash in v1.8?

Thanks for your patience in answering a newbie's question. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] franky_z:
thanks for that but didn´t work for me. i had gps problems with other roms too even with stock roms and had to do a lot of tweaks everytime to get gps working. perhaps it´s the phone itself. last time i used miui roadrunner and after many tries it worked. very, very strange...
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
Same with LauncherPro as already reported. But after having set the keep in memory flag in LP i think it's fine. Something similar for adw existing?
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
Yes it exists and in any case it's a simple line add to build.prop. But it would be interesting to know if the updated version of juwee ramscript is causing that behaviour (eating more ram). I will revert to old version of the script for a while and see what happens. Feedback coming in a short time.
[LG Optimus 2x] Craxx:
...same issue here with adw ex...but i can not choose keep system persistant, the proggy says that it doesn't work with gb2.3. so i hope topogigi will find the solution:)

Craxx;)

Send from my 2x:)
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I see LP restarting all the time as well. That and GPS. Otherwise it seems ok, just need to test battery performance now :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kostja_V:
It's not the ramscript fault. Few people reported that they have the same problem with Paul's near-stock firmware build (stock kernel, lg apps). They said that after reboot they have about 90-100mb free ram (I have 220 as always). Looks like there is a memory leak somewhere in V20I.
[LG Optimus 2x] fire3d:
Here are benches after removing things that i not need....
[LG Optimus 2x] eagle1977:
Also not working 4 me... With v1.7 GPS works great.

GPS is only working when I go into hidden menu, delete aiding data, search for position and after I found it, then it works. But when I´m close GPS and start it again I found a fix only for 1 second (maybe information helps for developing)
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
Warning

upon booting up the phone, there is force close on all apps.

luckily i made a backup in CWM recovery so i was able to revert back.

I have one problem with 1.8

When I am on an application ex: XDA app and when returning to homescreen the homescreen is empty (without icons and widgets) which appear after 2 seconds

[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
known problem, read the thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
Question, in the first post in the second picture is says "Versione LGE LGP990-V20c"

It should be "V20i" ???

I am on the 1.7sp1 and I get "V20e"

PS

About battery performance I get 15-25h depending the usage. With stock v10d I got 20-30% more. I know this is expected but wanted to give my feed back.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I have problem with stock launcher not ADW or LP
[LG Optimus 2x] invinciblervd:

Unfortunately for me the backup was screwed :(
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
Both of you have installed the v1.8 over 1.7 ?

because i think that with a fresh 1.8 installation...should work
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
I installed V1.8 over V1.6
[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
Any1 mind answering my question on post #2030 ?

Would greatly appreciate it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] morckx:
I managed avoid the FCs in the beginning by cleaning the dalvik cache, but have only tested it for 5 minutes (and then flashed back to "stock" v1.8 because I was not happy with the miui theme I chose).
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
I can confirm the wifi settings FC like some people say but only

first i updated 1.7 sp1 to 1.8 , setting worked

after som testing with theme morpher

I totally *****d up my rom

wipe everyting, dalvik , reinstal 1.8 , noting works,evertying keeps FC

so

installed 1.6 , booted , installed wifi , google acount etc

installed 1.8

wifi setting FC now (only wen wifi is enable)

but I use wifi manager widget and this works great :)

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

I can say you can flash from 1.7 sp1 to 1.8 without to wipe everything ,

just wipe cache and dalvik
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
The answer is in the first post. Coming from 1.7 you flash directly.

I don't think there is an archaeological work to do to determine if you must wipe depending on which ROM you had before your present one, and why not considering the ROM you had previously to the precedent one?

If you're really doubtful then wipe, flash 1.6 run the setup wizard and configure your wifi, then flash 1.8 then restore your apps.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wickie87:
For anyone that hasn't made the switch to v1.8 yet: I can confirm that connecting to an EAP WiFi network is working again!

Great work Topogigi! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
So, there isn't any fix for GPS right now....right?
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
I cleared both cache and davik cache after flashing the theme but still had all the FCs after rebooting.
[LG Optimus 2x] yukkio:
GPS working here, I got services.jar from GR3. Also you can enable gps, reboot and try it again (I think it's a v20i bug).

BR.
[LG Optimus 2x] fire3d:
i tested this three times now, wipe everything on the phone,

I'am from Germany (if this is relevant for GPS)

install 1.6

do the Setup

install 1.8

enter hidden menu and add the Nokia Supl for GPS

supl.nokia.com

7275

cert = NULL

TLS = on

select nokia and shut down the phone, start it again

After that i get a fix outside nearly instant, indoor it tooks 2-3 sec's,

best GPS ever seen on this Phone.....

1.8 performs great here
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
How is the battery life in 1.8?

I am waiting some hours more, for everything to become clear, before I update the phone as actually, between posts, I have to work a little!

After 2h and 50m i'am @ 64% after heavy usage
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
@Topogigi

I have applied a modified vold.fstab to make partitions CM-like, but what i got are just a massive FC of android.phone android.mms processes.

Since I'm used to have partitions mounted that way, and also my programs are all set that way, it would be easier for me, to modify the vold.fstab instead of reset every sw.

In any case thank you.

P.S: italians that write english in a intelligible way in this forums are rare like unicorn, you are one of those rarity, thank you for existance Topogigi :P

PIMP MY CPU does not work any more on 1.8 but OC&UV still work by modified the file.

(/system/xbin/volt_scheduler for UV, /etc/andrev_oc/XXXX for OC)

How to use the Overclock Daemon for 1.7 (post by salisbury_steak in post#1789 )

The ram usage is more than 1.7sp1.

After reboot I just get 130MB free ram in 1.8 but get 170MB in 1.7sp1.

The free ram in 1.8 is easy to under 100MB and that will slow the speed of open new apps.

So I think there must be some different in 1.8.

Wifi and gps is good.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Confirmed here, even if ro.secure is set to 0, adb shell is opening a simple user session by default.

EDIT: forgot to mention that the 'USB debug' icon is no more visible in notifications (same as CM7 by the way): is it a feature?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
same here

did the same and now i get a fix in seconds

installed over 1.6 and everything works like a charm

thank you very much topo

i will stay with it for a while

if i want to make a new gb theme, which files do i have to choose for the uot kitchen?

i tried it with 1.7 but had no luck

do i have to take framework and systemui.apk from a former version like 1.6,because in 1.7 they were modified by topo?
[LG Optimus 2x] spitz.chau:
Anyone can post other download link for 1.7 sp1 and 1.8?

[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
So at certification file; you filled in NULL? Didn't leave it blank?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
i filled in the word NULL yes lol

but it worked.do a reboot and voila..
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
We should ask him if we can mirror the files' links

[LG Optimus 2x] smoki3:
I have edited the wake_max file and the volt_scheduler. After Reboot I checked the frequency in system Panel and OS Monitor. But the frequency is stock!
[LG Optimus 2x] lucfig:
Those who are having too many homescreen refreshes, just paste this line in build.prop:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

I prefer 1,but I think you can use 0 too.

So far everything great! I had FCs when applied erestor's themes but other than that everything is perfect! Didn't try GPS yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
I imagine this is for the standard home app right? Or it works for every launcher?
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
I'm experiencing the old GPS bug. It gets a fix real fast (you see the icon blink and then steady for a sec) and it looses its fix and not coming back ;( Anybody knows a solution?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
do i have to add these lines?

my volt scheduler is almost empty...
[LG Optimus 2x] smoki3:
No you only have to edit the lines. When your file is empty you dont open it with the es notice editor. And have you enabled the root option?
[LG Optimus 2x] maxbaron:
V20i - Gr3 Beta prebakes now online ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] lucfig:
No, this works with every launcher, as long as it is the default one.

I am using Go Launcher.

These are online since yesterday...
[LG Optimus 2x] maxbaron:
ops, sorry!
[LG Optimus 2x] squide:
I read the scripts.. 1.6 S02 script detect screen state.

the endless while loop would comsume power

with pimpmycpu save as boot.

the S02 can be deleted.

also flashed 1.7 and compare... not so good. as the same thing i think..

the oc daemon try to detect screen state and changing the values all the time

which mean consume more power.

I'm not sure if the scheduler change correctly or not in 1.6

as the default cfq works fine for me.

1.8 didn't try yet because of the theme related stuff...

if there's nothing really improved in v20i..

I'll take the v20e 1.6 + sp1 for daily use. :)

in sleep mode, it almost comsume no power

and it response so quickly and yet the battery life is not bad at all !
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
I edited the wake_max file and rebooted the phone 2 times but the OC is not working for me...antutu always detect 1015mhz.

Did the OC worked for you?
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
I have updated to the version 1.8 from 1.7.

The problem I have is like some other guys out there, which is the not working GPS. I have used the supl.nokia.com settings, but nothing changes - still can't get any fix.

And also, after rebooting the phone hangs on the black screen and I have to take the battery out. Sometimes it boots right away and sometimes after few tries of taking the battery out. This is really weird and getting on my nerves. Why does it work sometimes and sometimes can't boot?

Also as a reminder, I am one of the people who had problems with flashing the 1.7, because of the UV and had to use the Topoblaze kernel.

I also have a question about the OC. If I use the mentioned kernel, should I give it a try to OC like in this post?: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18137323&postcount=2059

or better not to try it cause it can crash the system and force me to re-flashing?

Thanks in advance.

BTW Topogigi, I find your ROM great even though I have so many problems with it, but of course I understand it's a beta :)
[LG Optimus 2x] smoki3:
I takes a while after reboot until the frequency is changed. lock your phone and wait a minute. then look again.
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
Thank you, after i locked and unlocked the phone it was done. Thak you again :D
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I would like to know as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wickie87:
@wapz

I'm using LP+ and it looks like this solves the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
Oh god, he replies me two post after my question .-.

Yes, it works for every launcher that is configured as Default Home ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] smoki3:
Now I've testet GPS. I doesnt get a fix.
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
Could you recommend the optimal values for:

sleep_max

sleep_min

wake_max

wake_min

?

I haven't changed the sleep values,but only the wake values to:

wake_min:800000

wake_max:1216000

Do you think it makes sense? or maybe those values will drain my battery to much?

EDIT:

By the recommended values, I mean the ones that you guys have tested and give the best battery duration and performance :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
http://www.4shared.com/file/t4aEVMKF/LG_O2X_GB_STOCK_MOD_v18_EXT4_N.html

Try this if it works for 1.8.

SP1 is on XDA, direct download (see page 1): http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=733881&d=1317234854

I haven't got anymore 1.7 ROM sorry
[LG Optimus 2x] deep750:
Check my dropbox

I'm uploading right now - have quite fast upload, so should be there soon
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
I suggest to OC only the wake_max or the sleep_max values. This are the value for the MAXIMUM frequency for the CPU when it works and when it has things to do.

Why will you have to rise up the minimum? This values are the frequencies that the CPU have when the phone is UNTOUCHED, when it does "nothing", so, for me it doesn't make any sense to modify that values :)
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
That's the kind of answer I was looking for. I am an OC noob, that's why I'm asking.

Ok, so I'll change only the max values. Any recommendations if it goes about the values? especially sleep_max, to gain the most of the battery?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] fire3d:
tested somd things, after removed andrev_oc and s02, s07, s08 scripts i get better scores (oced via pimpmycpu)
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
Ok then:

-sleep: i suggest untouched. Rise up sleep_max only if you see some lag between the press of the button and the wake-up of the phone. For me it is good untouched.

-wake: more the wake_max value is high, then more battery will consume...test every frequency for your best. Anyway frequencies above 1216000 will have medium consume for your battery.

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] squide:
nice try :)

if in sleep mode still need to check the screen state in order to modify the governor used.

so the system actually not sleeping so well.

plus, we shouldn't limit the sleep max too low.

it conserve more if it can finish the task quick and back to sleep

than running the task so slowly from background.

lower the voltage is way more effective than lower the frequency in battery saving.
[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
Ok, that's what I did already. I tried wake_max: 1408000 but then when running a benchmark or anything else, the phone reboots. With wake_max: 1216000 the score in Smartbench 2011 is: 3343 and in Quadrant: 3465, so I think it's not bad, considering that I had 2900 before the OC :)

Thanks for your help.
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
decided to remove all the andrev_oc stuff and installed pimp my cpu instead.
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
If i correctly understand, the daemon OC is better than the pimp OC becaose is part of the system and the switch between the governors in wake/sleep and the frequencies are better. So the battery life should be better (highly) with andrev...
[LG Optimus 2x] squide:
in my opinion, andrev_oc like a middle ware between the system and the kernel.

it keeps monitoring the screen state and changing the use of governor.

while pimpmycpu is just a GUI telling the kernel the range.

all scaling is actually done by the kernel itself.

after you save as boot, the GUI is never need already.

the script told the kernel only once and let it work.

it save a lot monitoring jobs in compare with andrev oc method.

in short, PMP method, tell one time and let kernel work.

OC daemon method, monitor the screen state all the time, when changes, tell again..again again and again..

don't forget you need processing power to monitor phone state and keep changing the governor.
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Those who can't download the ROM because megaupload thinks your country is inferior, install this: http://jdownloader.org/home

And you should be able to download it. I haven't really investigated how or why so but it works for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
It's time to compile a F.A.Q. and link it in the first page. Too many repeated questions in this thread, and supporting everyone is really time consuming. The risk is wasting time supporting new users while losing free time I could spend in development.

I'll compile the first release, then will accept your suggestions for further additions.

CU later.
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
Found something that could be of help to the ones with gps fix problems like myself in 1.8.

When I start my O2X with GPS off and I set GPS on when phone is booted, I couldn't get a normal fix (just the "1 sec bug")

But I start start my O2X with GPS on, I can get a normal fix.

Maybe this can help Topogigi crush this bug.

Edit:

This workaround works 100%

Reboot a dozen times with GPS OFF: No Fix, at all or loosing it directly and not coming back

Reboot a dozen times with GPS ON: Fix, and keeps it

I think there's something wrong with initializing GPS when (re)booting with GPS OFF
[LG Optimus 2x] sorcio91:
Start with this in the faq:

How to overclock the rom:

in /etc/andrev_oc you've got 6 files:

-sleep_gov: indicates which governor to use during sleep mode ("performance" or "powersave")

-wake_gov: governor for awake state ("performance" or "powersave")

-sleep(or wake)_max: max frequency to allow during sleep or wake (see frequencies below)

-sleep(or wake)_min: min frequency to allow during sleep or wake (see frequencies below)

Here are the authorized frequency values:

1408000

1216000

1100000

1015000

800000

503000

389000

216000

Use ES File explorer (pre-installed with ROM) in Root mode to open them as text, edit the value as you desire, and save. Reboot and it's done.

You may check the actual CPU frequencies by using OS Monitor or SystemPanel App from the market.

How to undervolt the rom:

Edit 'echo 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0' UV values via:

volt_scheduler in /system/xbin/volt_scheduler

(i.e. a value of 50, 50, 50, 50, 0, 0, 0, 0 undervolts the top 4 frequencies by 50mV each.)

How to fix GPS:
