[LG Optimus 2x] Grisly1:
I just upgraded my (NL) phone to v20m, and all seems good so far. Hurrah!

I wanted to wait for the official version, it's under contract, and to try that.

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: GRJ22

LGE Version: LGP990-V20m

Much more responsive, and even when installing multiple applications from

the marketplace again, it's all carrying on as though nothing is happening...

(and Skype now allows use of the front camera.) Various apps now upgraded.

I had not realised that in Europe we keep the original LG apps, like the LG

camera, the LG keyboard (ugh), and hte LG Facebook+Myspace for example.

That is good. I liked the camera application, even if it's hopeless at night...

In regard to the GPS, no change. It is always off at boot-up, it did not work.

I had to turn it on, reboot, and now it is working. That is awfully annoying...

In other ways, the phone seems identical to before. The look and feel is the

same, mostly, and I had to double-check that I was on the latest ROM, even,

though things like the give-away end-of-list glow when scrolling was there,

and the text/edit boxes of course. I will be interested in my battery life, as

I now put the stock battery back in for a test. Normally I have an extended.

Summary: quite painless so far, and it's like the phone I though I'd bought!

Today V20D was released in germany for devices with vodafone branding.

Here is the link:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AVD2DW/V20d_00/V20D_00.kdz

Can someone of the devs have a look if they made some tweaks compared to V20L?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
v20m is quite nice,

i have made a hybrid rom (partly v20m, partly v20e) which runs extrmely well

but unfortunately I am not allowed to post it in the forums yet

hello gents

long story short - p990 is my first "proper" android phone (i used to use nokia n900 and few low end androids\tablets, know a bit about flashing\rooting but nothing about this particular device)

from what i see there is plenty of official lg versions, CM7, few other home brew roms etc...

which software would be the best?

i need stability (i heard that was a problem with older lg soft)

i need root (all nice things require it)

proper speed and all features working would be nice to have

i'm ok with any english rom, what should i use?

should i stick to 2.3.4 and wait for ICS, or are there some roms that actually works (i mean with all the features and hardware working well) and with some devs maintaining them?

is there any particular set of lg software i should install? (i keep reading about basebands etc. but all that knowledge isn't really helping with knowing 'whats going on')

any thoughts on this subject?

Anyone knows when can we expect GB release in American countries other than US? I live in Mexico.
[LG Optimus 2x] dandeli21:
you can flash the canadiean free version, or any gb version and then put in the last baseband thats for the p990h and it works fine with mexican 3g

because the gb mexican version will come out on 1q 012.

or go for miui is a nice rom,

you can wait for cm9 because they are no longer relasing cm7 maybe the bot or may be because they are working on cm9

o2x is a nice phone but lg soft sucks

puedes flashearle la versión libre canadiense, es lo mismo te lo deja como p990h para que la red 3g funcione, o si no flashea la version que quieras e instala el baseband 8xxx (el ultimo) lo deja p990h tambien, por que gb en mexico sale como en marzo 012 segun lgmexico.

o instalale miui es mucho mejor

también esta cm pero ya no sacan mejoras esperate a la cm9.

el lg2x es bueno pero el software lg es pésimo ve pro un custome.

I am running right now v20l.. which is GB "supposedly".. Anyway, the thing is that I can't root it.. I tried SuperoneClick for Gingerbread root, and it starts installation, runs well, find a path, and even tell me that it will just reboot and kill ADB.. but it is exactly there when it crashes and does nothing.. have done it like 4 times now and nothing.. any other way to root the LG o2x for this update?? ideas?

My thoughts on V25f

Hey Guys, well before I knew iy my LG update tool updated my phone to V25f

strange is because I was planning to update to V20M cause of a bootloop that mysteriously happened...

I did the original Froyo .bin/.fls file with the 823 baseband/ril but when I updated to V25f it went to 725 baseband and ril.

The Firmware is alright, additionally it has a new app called Videos that I don't see in 20l/m. I see that it shows and thumnails your existing videos in your SD card. But it also has a tab for rental videos. Since my phone is rooted the rental is disabled so nothing really spectacular.

The Kernal is alright... battery drains to 0% in less than 12 hours for me.

The Sound seems improved... I work in the music industry so I hear that music played in this firmware sounds sonically better, even on headphones it seems louder. Also the Music volume up and down button seems very much smoother increase and decrease.

Gaming wise it lags, when I run games, the response is anything but smooth. So I don't really believe that there is anything different from stock 20m. I could be wrong.

I use Go Launcher as my personal choice launcher so basically when I had the 20l/m vs the v25f its relatively the same.

I flashed spica1234's RC11-R kernal onto with PP10 pack and it improved the speed of the V25f kernal significantly. But the battery drain is still unchanged, I still have to charge my phone 2-3x a day.

I hope this helps... and I am hoping that perhaps new custom rom/kernal developers would look into the V25f kernal, it's mainly cause I am in the music industry, I'd love to see how this new kernal is able to make the music play better even on headphones, without the help of voodoo sound.

Hope this helps, I've been playing with V25f for 2 days now... and I decided to flash to spica's RC11-R with PP10 and it just made the firmware supercharged fast but batt drains crazy.
[LG Optimus 2x] maradonaz:
What software did u use to flash to stock rom and did you have problems like be unable to update using kdz updater
[LG Optimus 2x] rxformula91:
I used smartflash to flash the .bin file to Froyo and well my intended was to update to V20m cause that's what I have been using...

but because of the method not working it automatically activated LG update and downloaded V25f into my phone.

Its not till later that I found the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327929

with this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473781

thus I found out I can still go back to V20m if I wanted to now... Thank goodness.

Did LG release an official update on GB to all Europe?
[LG Optimus 2x] maradonaz:
my o2x is from fido canada but I am in jamaica. I had upgraded to another countries gingerbread using kdz updater but didn't really like that gingerbread on my [hone and smartflashed my phone using the stockrom for my fido o2x. Now when I try to update it using lg mobile update tool it keeps saying that my phone is not supported. and even using kdz updater won't update it.

Any suggestions
[LG Optimus 2x] :
V25 is not newer than v20. We got v25 in Canada is probably do to the fact our Froyo ROM was v21.

Something I've noticed after upgrading to v25 is the data connection drops off quite a bit. If you are on edge, there is no data at all

V20q custom ROM will soon land, as sources came this week. Seems to have some improvement in wifi memory management.

[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
is V20q GB or ICS for O2x? If it's GB you guys are really late.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
What do you mean late? No LG phone has gotten any official ICS update. Most likely G2x included.
[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
I said if it were GB, G2x has had GB since mid 2011. I'm just saying, if it's GB then the people with the G2x were complaining for nothing, seeing as we got it pretty quickly compared to the O2x.

[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
How can they be so incompetent? If they don't deliver GB until end of September, I will get the phone to service because of BSODs and restarts and change it for a new one until I get one that's working. I hope I'll inflict them some losses, if they have to change some 3-4 phones until one finally works.
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
So in the end, if they took their sweet time with an update that was due almost an year ago, I now think we'll never see ICS on the 2x.

Except from guys like Cyanogen...
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
No GB till November

Just chatted with Phones4U about this and was told

Paul B says:

The estimated date for Gingerbread being released on LG handsets is November of this year. That has comer from our LG expert event we held earlier this month.

Stop holding your breath. I have asked for a replacement handset of another make invoking the Sale of goods act as the phone is not 'as described' and given them the 7 days notice officially. If not I will take this further with Trading Standards.
[LG Optimus 2x] Saiyajin:
Srsly? November? Can't believe it - even LG isn't that stupid. If thats the case I'm getting rid of my O2X!
[LG Optimus 2x] Vertigood:

If November is true for the update then I wont wait any longer. Gonna call my retailer and explain everything and see what they say.

Hey guys i wrote recently with the support of lg germany and they told me that the update is finished and that they are just waiting to get it online on their servers so it will be released in a few days. but they couldn't tell me on which date they will release it.

i hope they were right :/
[LG Optimus 2x] justclimb:
Who cares now, we have v20e, wich is quite good, and the update won't change the crappy kernel...so you are all ****ed anyway.

**** LG, **** GB updates...I WANT ICE CREAM!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] charleybrown_de:
No official update here of course. The link that you complete with your phone's IMEI number checks the currently available firmware on LG's servers for your specific phone and region. So in my case it's V10B.

Anyway, I'm using Topogigi's mod of The V20E leak. It's awesome! Use it and stop waiting for LG to decide if they want to release it or not. It gives you some peace of mind!
[LG Optimus 2x] robadahobada:

Just thought id let you know i have been using the bulgarian gb leak posted here for 3 days and it is like a have a new phone its seriously rapid! Also battery life is amazing usually it'd be dead by this time of night but its still on 50 odd percent!Recommended if you can!

I can confirm same, it is amazingly fast and stable,. Guys stop waiting for it go and use this Rom and you wont need to wait anymore. For me everything working and it is so fast i never experience this before. I lick on Home button and the home screen is there in a blink of eye lolzz I discover a new phone.

Wifi work all the time no matter sleep mode or not

GPS so quick fix

Reboot less than 20 sec

while installing app on market No Lag anymore :)

Etc....

So what else you want ?
[LG Optimus 2x] taxas:
Well since you lick the home button and the home screens "cumes" in the blink of an eye then **** it, Im installing!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] kitty's_daddy:
The official updater will say "there is no update for your phone" if you have latest baseband, though you have oldest OS.

Because updater checks only baseband.

Then you could update with only kdz tool or smartflash.

more info on V25f

Well, after a while of using V25f and having it rooted... I constantly have Market error 492 with this firmware. I guess it was cause there's incompatibility with spica's RC11R kernal which was made for V20l and now the V20Q. In the end I left it alone and flashed V20m. Mainly because there's no battery icon mod for V25f and the fact that the kernal version is exactly the same in version number.

Anyways that's all I can say about the Canadian V25 firmware
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Ah, I think I get what is happening here.

The O2x, indeed got the first GB update later than the G2x. If I remember right, the G2x got it about 1 or 2 months earlier. But unlike the G2x, which is a carrier exclusive phone and has vanilla android, the O2x has LG's skinned version of android. Which is the reason it took longer for us to get the official GB.

The official release date was about November or October, but we had gotten a ROM leak much earlier than that, allowing for stock-based custom ROMs to be possible. So in short, we've had GB as long as the G2x, if not earlier. Plus we've had CM7 support since June.

What you see here people talking about a ROM update that is gingerbread, and not ICS, is not our first GB update. It's just a regular update with newer kernel drivers etc. Unlike the G2x, we do get regular updates. If there is anything for you to complain, it would be for the fact that LG hasn't announced any ICS update for the G2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
Actually, ICS was announced for both phones to be released by Q2 :)

Also, we got a GB leak as well, probably around the same time seeing as LG would be testing GB for both phones at the same time because they are, infact, the same phone (with different partitions, of course.).

The reason we don't get regular updates is because for us T-Mobile has to approve send us these updates OTA, but since so many people complained instead of actually seeing if there was something they could do to make their phone better; the G2x was EOLed by T-mobile and right now they are giving them away with contracts.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
My bad then. I just can't seem to remember the G2x included in the list of phones LG announced for the Q2 ICS update along with the O3D, Black, and O2x. Just googled a bit though, and found that LG posted an update confirming ICS for the carrier branded counterparts a while after the first announcement.

Btw sorry if my tune in my previous posts didn't sound nice, it was a mistake on my part ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
It's all sunshine and rainbows man :)
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i thougt they will release more info in q2 and not the acctual rom. do you have a source to your claim?
[LG Optimus 2x] lipisak:
Look for facebook profile of lg mobile. It's written there. They announced the "release" dates for lg devices. And O2X is planned on Q2. so it's official. But we know lg promises:-/

[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
Q2 2012 translates to something like Q4 2014 to the dumbass software developers. To them, they released GB early...
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
well i searched their pages and can not find any information on release dates. the only thing i find is that they will release some more info once google has released ics. so where does this q2 rumor come from?
[LG Optimus 2x] m4rkiz:
not only p990 question, but:

if i have full backup made with clockwork (nandroid) can i switch between ics and 2.3 or other different roms without any problems?

(i'm not exactly sure how things look under the hood, ie. if phone can be easily downgraded as some completely unrelated to this android device can't be ;) because of some fw\baseband issues)

can someone with knowledge on this subject elaborate please?

[LG Optimus 2x] m4rkiz:
i don't think custom kernel is mandatory for smooth working if you freeze or remove all unnecessary apps with titanium

i have stock 2.3.4 with go launcher & plenty of lg crap removed and it is working perfect for me, no lags, no hangs, no quits, no reboots, no battery drain, all games etc. are working nice and smooth

that is the reason why i wanted to know if i can easily go back to current soft & settings if i decide to try upcoming ics as it is working great for me now (but i would love to play with ics)
[LG Optimus 2x] culblueswan:
Yes, if you have made a full nandroid backup, you can easily switch between roms. This is possible because nandroid backup creates a backup of all your apps + data, system partition and cache partitions. Think of it as creating a image of your hard disk drive which can be restored if you face any issue. I hope this clears your doubts.

Try using the eTaNa kernel by vadonka. Works with both CM7 and MIUI. It has great performance and very good battery life.
