Hasn't LG been REALLY awesome with releasing the source codes relatively fast? I remember when the phone first came out, we had the source like the next couple of days (which sparked early custom roms).

I wonder if LG will officially release this for our phones? It is common to release an updated phone first, then update the other ones after a while.

It would be nice to finally have a stock LG rom that doesn't **** on itself every few hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Does anyone know of a crt animation.zip file from another rom that will work w this 1? The lock screen lag is annoying the **** outta me. I tried the 1 from Xboarder which is made for 2.3.3 & it caused the bootloop of death.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Worked fine for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Any other T-Mobile customers gotten wifi calling (Kineto.apk) to work? I've tried a couple different versions and it just hangs at "Enabling" and never actually connects.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Did you include kineto lib?

Lovkscreen lag on 2.3.4?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shubonker:
Seems to lag randomly and swype does not work. I LOVE SWYPE. Cannot live without it. Titanium backup keeps saying there is no root access. Thanks anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No. Where is that located?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] github:
It's a library (.so), so it's in /system/lib ;)

libkineto.so

My permissions are: rw-r--r--
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
You can uninstall swype and dload beta, should work. A simple reboot will fix TB. There is no lag on this rom. Anything else? Or does it matter?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shubonker:
Okay let me try it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Yes, other than the lockscreen lag there is no other lag:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
libkineto.so is already there but wifi calling won't connect. Is it working for you?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dfspot:
I had the same issues... go to settings... Applications... make sure the Unknown Sources is checked and under development USB debugging is checked... after that everything work cool
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
True, and though not a dealbreaker it is annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
It's not a deal breaker, it just takes away from the rom from a professional point of view. This day & age u can't have crap like that. This has nothing to do with JB. JB did a great job porting this rom for us!

This is an issue w all stock 2.3 & 2.4 roms. Are you kidding me Google? how can they release it like that? & don't say the company is not aware of the problem every bloody time. Get your act together. Thats 1 thing Apple & Steve had locked down... not releasing a product unless it was 100%. When it wasn't 100% an update followed in a timley manner. BTW Google give us a decent f^@%*# web browser while your at it cuz the stock 1 is crap!

Can't wait for ICS, C'mon LG!

My point? Well my point is NOT that Android is free of flaws. My point is that neither is Apple and iPhone.

Oh, and remember that other than Nexus phones, its the carriers and manufacturers who put the firmware together for these phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
how is this more of a big deal of CM7 and others gb roms? when we dont have a newer stock baseband? is this just like another gb rom? im just asking
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I have always had problems with Titanium Backup not doing things right. That's why I stopped using it three Android devices back.

There is no Kineto.apk in this rom. If you want I can make a flashable zip to put in the one from 2.3.3. and you can give it a try. It will probably work. I already put the lib file in just in case but not the apk. MY guess is it needs to be a system apk to work.

Try T-Swipe Pro in the Android Market. It is working perfectly. After a trial period it is something like $6.00 but well worth the money. One license for any device that uses the same email as the first Google account used on the device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i think his trying to say is the iphone regularly comes with updates as part of android. it doesnt and some never gets the update as many doesnt have gb even though the phone support it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
i think we are already far from the topic.

By the way, I got a video on my g2x with this build, please check how I say lockscreen lag from screen off compared to 2.3.3 builds. Sorry for the low quality video, I used my hd2's camcorder.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_XVf7JViCY

My apologies if this is different from the lockscreen lag you are talking about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zgjbeta:
We are not having another android vs. Apple debate in here if u like apple so much then there really isn't much stopping you from getting that piece of plastic garbage. Do us all a favor don't complain about it in here buddy. Appreciate what the devs are doing for us and lets not have another dev pull out of doing work because of ungreatful members like you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Updates are up to the manufacturer or marketer of the device. Google doesn't dictate which version of Android to use or how often to update it. Apple controls all hardware and iOS so it is easier for them to update with their Draconian control over their devices. If the manufacturer won't update it then the carrier can have their own updates made as CinBell had done in the USA and Vodafone has done in Germany.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
iPhone... Garbage? Plastic? u feeling ok? last I checked Iphone 4 was made with high quality glass & aluminum as its external shell. Not to mention the Retina display (if u even know what that is) lol. Tell me which Android or windows phone doesnt have plastic?

I have an iPad 2, I used to have an iPhone 4, so obviously I compare similar apps & functions. I didn't know I needed your approval to state the word Apple in this forum.

Kissing ass will not get u ICS any faster. I got nothing but respect for the Android & Apple devs on this forum

Know your role princess! Do u talk to your mother w that rude mouth of yours (rhetorical)

I was merely talking about how apple has set high standards that everyone should be happy about inc Android owners, because it ups the bar in terms of what acceptable & whats not from Google & Microsoft as well.

I've got an Optimus 2x thats had nothing but buggy operating systems since I got it. Excuse me for wanting to get that best out of a buggy product that I payed $500 for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I added the kineto.apk as a system app, rebooted and it just hangs at "Enabling." I've tried 3 different versions now and no luck. I rely on wifi calling in my apartment building. Sadly I've had no luck getting it to work and will probably have to go back to my backup rom for my main rom for now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Please guys, lets stay on topic. This argument does us no good.

On a side note: I think your comparing 2 very different companies.

Google should follow more along the lines of the Microsoft model.

We can all see how basically all of the Windows Phones have received every update officially despite coming from different manufacturers. That's the way to go. And Google should follow suit. Its almost too late for Google to go down the one device model of Apple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Did you make sure the permissions were set properly and you changed ownership to root.root?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Hmmm very interesting point ! :cool:

That was part of my post, Google... Get w the times & stop this buggy software from being released by 3rd party phone makers. I know its open source but do something. All these 3rd party companies like LG for example have done nothing support wise after we spend tons of money on their products. My canadian Optimus 2x p999 still isn't eligible for an official 2.3 Gingerbread update via LG Updater tool. Why? its a bloody p999. Why LG why?

When I finally installed T-mobiles g2x 2.3 official update via root+hack it had the lock screen lag bug. Are you kidding me? Am I the only frustrated 1 that owns a P999 on this forum?

I suppose the next thing they will say is "No ICS for the Optimus 2x/G2X"

Should have gotten a Windows 7 phone or a Samsung Galaxy S II! ... or an iphone 4s :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Let me give that a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No luck. Still hangs at "enabling"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I think there are some files missing that are needed. Can you do some research and figure out all the file dependencies that kineto.apk relies on?

I also tried using the settings.apk from 2.3.3 to see if can get mobile hotspot and tethering back. The menu items were there but they could not turn on. Obviously some files were removed that these features need also. If people can help me figure out all the missing files I can work on getting these features working again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I'll do my part but it'll have to be tomorrow. Its 2:15am here and I have to be at work at 6:30am ... so sleepy time for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] astaccz:
take this somewhere else. we are in an android development forum not "what mobile os is better forum"... if you dont like your optimus 2x sell it and stick with apple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Thats not the lag I'm talking about bro. I'm talking about when the screen is off & u press the power button to wake it up, the phone then displays your entire desktop & after 1-2 seconds then it turns into a lock screen w the unlock & volume mute tabs. Rom devs have made crt animation flashable zips for 2.3.3 to fix this but 2.3.4 I cannot seem to have 1 thats made for the G2X/P999.

Hey JB... does the crt animation zip have to be made for the p999 specially or can i just use 1 from any 2.3.4 rom for any phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Not sure. I would think anyone would work, but you would need to try it to know for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
i think i may have found 1 for a motorola phone for a 2.3.4 rom. i will try in a bit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Use something like root explorer to install it into system. Then change permissions to 644 and change owner to root.root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
If you check my video, when I pressed the power button, the clock, unlock buttons shows up immediately.

For the crt animation, it differs for each rom/build since animation is in the framework-res.apk.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
@Dave778 - On the Wind Mobile Froyo rom when you power off what is the last animation screen you see? Can you take a photo or try to do a screengrab of it? I have it working but I it is not playing the entire animation. Maybe Froyo had the same bug and the entire animation isn't being displayed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Neejay:
I've been having the same exact problem, but it's more of a split second flash then back to lockscreen. I have that problem regardless of what ROM I'm using, even the stock rooted one. I'm on CM7 now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
That's on all the P990/P999 roms. It is so quick on this rom I consider it a non-issue and not something I will be working on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Neejay:
yeah, I don't blame you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
Need to edit the build.prop as well to get wifi calling working. If you want the crt animation just decompile framework Res.apk and edit it. There is info to do it. Also I have no lockscreen lag and have added toggles to status bar.

Thx for this port jboxer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Jboogie3, can you share your mix with toggles? Hehehehe...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Are u asking about the power off boot animation?

Do u need it just to know what the power down animation is like or are u asking for another reason. The original nandoid is backed up on my computer at work & I don't go back unti friday night (it's tuesday right now).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The build.prop was based on the 2.3.3 build.prop with changes for this rom. Whatever was in there that made wifi calling work should still be there. I did not copy over the code for Tracfone to disable it. I think some apks are missing. If you got wifi calling working please share with us what you did.

Also please post the files for the fixes you made for crt animation and toggles. Did you also fix the problem with U.S. carrier names not showing in the notification bar?

I have some changes I am working on to change boot animation and power off animation to LG ones rather than TMobile's. I will make a flashable zip within a day or two.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
Sure but framework and systemui is themed like swift star.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
From what I can tell the Wind Power Off Animation is broken. It is only showing ten frames of thirty in the apk. I tried decompiling it, fixing it and recompiling but that did not work. I can base it on the European one and make one with twenty of the thirty frames. Also, in both TMO, Wind and Tracfone versions there is png files for Verizon Wireless, which I find strange. That seems to indicate a U.S. CDMA version of the 2X was either proposed or is in the works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
I haven't tried to get wifi calling working, just talking from experience getting it to work with the Moto Defy. Did not fix problem with U.S. carrier, wont even bother since its not a big deal at all(atleast for me). Hate power off animation so I just delete the poweroff.apk and edit the build.prop power off to false.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
attached is the the framework-res.apk with crt animation, just use root explorer to move to system/framework. BUT make sure to change permissions before replacing old framework-res.apk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I think I will just make a flashable zip and make it optional. Some people, including myself, don't care for the crt screen off animation. Thanks for your work. If you want to help me get wifi hotspot and tethering working your help would be appreciated Can you share what was done on your other project to get it working. I think I am missing some apks I need to port over but don't know which ones I need.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
For the wifi calling we needed to add the following files from lib folder: libganril.so, libkenito.so, librilswitch.so. also from lib/ modules kineto_gan.ko. Now keep in mind the names may be a little different since it was from froyo and not gingerbread, not sure since i havent taken a look. Since you said the build.prop is the same well then it should work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The rom is missing these two: libkenito.so and kineto_gan.ko.

The other two are in the rom and there is even a reference to them in my build.prop (I modeled it after the 2.3.3 build.prop). You think the files from 2.3.3 would work? I know settings.apk from 2.3.3 works because I tried it but since files were missing the hotspot would not turn on.

Edit: The stock 2.3.3 rom does not have kineto_gan.ko in system\lib\modules. Only wireless.ko is there. There is a libkineto.so file in system/lib and a kineto.apk in system/app. I will add kineto.apk back and the 2.3.3. settings file and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
No problem...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
hmm... I will look more into it later tonight when i get a chance. Have you tried a logcat when running wifi calling?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Please see post above as I edited it. There is a libkineto.so but no file in modules. What is missing is kineto.apk. I will add that back and use the settings file from 2.3.3 and I think that might work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I added kineto.apk back and I know that is working because when I rebooted it told me I could use my phone to make calls over wifi. When I try to turn on the Mobile Hotspot it says turning on and then it quits. There is something somewhere still missing. Is there anything in the framework that controls that? Or is it just apks and lib files and permission, etc? The USB tethering is not working either. Just need to figure out what it missing. I will try to do when running a logcat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
i know that in hd2 it also has to do with the kernel. So probably something was taken off from the kernel since it was compiled not taking wifi calling into consideration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Don't know because they commented out calls to ganril, etc. in the build.prop. If it wasn't in the kernel why bother, just delete the code in the build.prop.

To test that theory, what alternate kernels are compatible with stock Gingerbread for the G2X. We can try one and see if that fixes the problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Version 6 - Tethering, Mobile HotSpot and UMA version for TMO customers

Okay, I mobile hot spot working. I also believe UMA (wifi calling is working for TMO). Tethering is connecting but then immediately disconnecting. I will work on getting this working also. There was an obscure file missing I found by just going through all the files in both roms. This file is what was preventing mobile hotspot from running. I will build it without UMA but have a UMA version for people that want this feature.

Also, the new version has LG boot animation and power down screens. I think most people would prefer these over T-Mobile or Wind. If you want that back it is easy to do and we can have flashable zips to rebrand your device if you want.

I am uploading v. 6 now. There will be three version as listed below. The uploads will take a while so I might not be able to post links for about ten hours or so as it is time to go to bed in my part of the world.

v.6 - Mobile HotSpot enabled. LG boot and power down screens. (Tethering on menu but broken)

v. 6 Simple Mobile - Same as above but with apn settings for Simple Mobile.

v. 6 T-Mobile - Same as regular above but with UMA added for WiFi calling.

Links will be added to top post when ready.

Coming Soon: Flashable zips to restore boot animation and power down animation for T-Mobile and Wind Mobile.

hi,

i installed cm 7.1.0. after a week or so, the touchscreen stops working properly. i wiped using the calkulkin erase all zip. tried flashing again and erasing then other stable version. touchscreen continues to play up. finally flashed with sun rom. home key and eome keyboard keys still dont work. any suggestions?

cheers paul
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It's obviously a hardware issue if it persists across ROMs (Not that a ROM can ever cause a touchscreen to play up randomly)
[Wildfire General] betchern0t:
which bit

thanks 3xeno,

any ideas on which bit - controller or screen itself? I can replace the screen and the receiver.

sorry for bad english:p
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Superuser.Angga:
Try reinstalling rom without full wipe

Follow these steps

1.Reinstall GingerDX (without full-wipe)

2.Wipe Cache partition

3.wipe Dalvik-Cache

4.(optional) wipe battery-stats

5.Reboot

Note: first boot will take longer

if the problem persist do

1.Backup all your apps and data using (MyBackup/Titanium Backup)

2.Open Flashtool

3.flash your kernel (linuxdx or stock)

4.Reinstall GingerDX

5.Full Wipe

6.Reboot

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jiujitiancai:
apk can be installed directly

copy libs to system/libs

app can start,but cant play cant explore

maybe need something more I dont know.

Can someone make it work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] appelflap:
Okay, great device... but really annoying that most apps don't make use of the extra real estate on the screen. Most apps are just blown up versions of for example the Galaxy S2 apps. Meaning most apps are the same but 5.3/4.2 = 1.26 times bigger :p That's at least a pity :) The contacts app displays the same amount of contacts on a screen as the Galaxy S2 or S but... with a 1.26 x bigger font (compared to the S2) and 5.3/4=1.33 (lol) x bigger font compared to the Galaxy S

Fortunately there seems to be a setting in the accessibility settings that allows the user to decrease the font in some stock apps. Unfortunately this doesn't work. At least not on my device. Anyone got this working?

And yes, ICS would be a great improvement for such a big screen device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
Is that possible to set another density for the device (maybe you have to root it first)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Towserspvm2000:
You'd have to root it first, and then push the density down. Not ideal, as some apps then run in a box on the screen, but it does make for smaller fonts, and you can cram more widgets on the screen etc.

I run my HD2 at 160, but then again I have had my eyes lasered!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Root

Go to system/build.prop

Open in editor

change the value of lcd from 240 to 192

See the difference.

U can always go back

All apps wont be scaled to the new lcd value.

eg: TW in sgsII does not scale.

However i always used this value and did not use TW.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] win.droid:
Looks very interesting but I'm afraid that I'm not s pro
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] appelflap:
density change doesn't address the question

Hey ho wait..... this wasn't the question. So does the fontsize changing option work for you guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
I think change the font size setting in gingerbread is for display text in text editor or web browser instead of the launcher and most other application as they have their own fixed font size. You cannot do anything to those applications as they has been programmed that way.:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] appelflap:
With stock apps I mean the Samsung apps. In the accessibility settings there's an option to change the font size "in the following applications: S planner, Email, Contacts and Messaging" (as stated in the accessibility settings)

Unfortunately this setting doesn't work on my jk4 rom. Maybe others have luck on other roms. Seems like a very usuable option for the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fscherz:
My lcd.density (or so) was set to 320 on stock!

I changed it to 280 and the system looks now nicer!

Actually, I measured the tab and my calculation would be around 270-280 dpi.

Has anybody other/better data?

By the way, 1st problem after changing lcd density is in S Memo! Background seem to have a fixed 'smaller size' which are then placed wrongly :(

Another impact: The email-widget does not fit on screen any more (using Launcher Pro) ... Hope in ICS they will fix some of those screen size problems!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] appelflap:
I didn't try it myself yet but I bet it will give a whole lot of trouble with almost every Samsung app on this xhdpi device. Like HTC, they exactly target the screen for which they write software. Unlike most android apps in the market, targeting screens with different specs isn't important. Scaling isn't a requirement for these stock apps. ICS will not solve the problem, because it is still up to the developer which screens will be targeted.

Anyway, back to the original question, I think it is safe to conclude that the font setting doesn't work for anyone. So it is a bug.
