Boots up just fine and it's a pretty plain vanilla Android installation with not bloat ... unless you consider Polaris Office to be bloat.

That said, it's telling me I have an unknown baseband. I can't get it to connect to T-Mobile or my wifi network. It detects my wifi network, but when I enter the password it won't connect. I tried re-entering the password to make sure I didn't enter a typo.

I'm restoring my backup just to be sure there's no permanent damage, and then I'll post a couple screenshots I took.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Did you try shutting it down and turning it back on. Sometimes you get that baseband error after flashing. Otherwise I will have to see what is going on. Maybe I need to put back the RIL files from the 2.3.3. build?

There should be no damage as the baseband is not flashed. Just the system area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea, I shut it down, pulled the battery and SIM, reinserted everything and booted back up and still unknown baseband and won't connect to wifi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I just checked out the ROM. It is missing files for the RIL (radio interface layer). I will put in the ones from the 2.3.3. ROM and hopefully that will fix the unknown baseband problem. I wonder how the Tracfone one had a baseband as all the RIL calls were commented out and files are missing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
ooh nice a new rom,
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
phburks everything ok? Uploading new version with missing RIL files added back in. Hope 2nd try is the charm. At least attempt 1 flashed ok and booted. That's a good sign. I had many attempts on my iMobile i858 (Yuhua Touchstone) that simply refused to boot based on changes I made to roms. Lots of others did work though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
All good here. My backup just finished restoring and everything works fine.

I'll watch for the updated version and download it a little later this morning. I have to go pick up my wife from work in a few minutes.

I'll upload those screenshots first though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Cool. The missing RIL files would make a big difference. I still need to figure out how the baseband was working without these. Another member is going to post a Nandroid restorable file later today. Be interesting to see if have radio after flashing that. That will just be an exact copy of the LG-L95G rom. Not rooted and modded slightly like mine is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Sounds great. It's fun to have something new to play with on this phone. lol

I do notice that the kernel version is still the same kernel that we've had since Froyo.

EDIT: Screenshots didn't post correctly. Here are the links to the photos.

EDIT 2: Screenshots still not posting correctly. Gimme a few minutes and I'll get em up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
@phburks - Your screenshots are not showing.

Edit: Your new direct links are not working either. (Sorry, that page was not found.)

Here is what the lame boot animation was. I changed it back to the T-Mobile one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Here they are:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
LOL. FULLOFVIRUSES. That should keep the wifi password hackers away.

Here is attempt # 2.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Lol I figure at the very least it will make them raise an eyebrow and have a good laugh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Any ETA on when you will flash attempt # 2?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
yeah, that would be better for the whiners...

JB, did you check if you added gan optimizer apk is in system app alongside kineto? I'm not sure if that is necessary but, maybe.

Also, I checked the framework for the missing carrier label but I find no difference from 2.3.3 in terms of carrier label.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I think it is an issue with the flex database. After this I am going to try and use the flex settings and database for the European generic LGE settings. Maybe that will fix that issue. That would completely unbrand the phone T-Mobile.

I found a 2.3.4 rom for the P990 and maybe next week I will try to port it to the P999. Many people have asked for the LG UI. I have no idea why because it is FUGLY but it will be interesting to see if I can do it. The issue will be whether this kernel is compatible with the build or not. I think it might be as this rom and that rom were built within two days of each other and both 2.3.4.

Regarding Tethering: It might be working but I might have some problem with my computer. So I need some of you to test it out after flashing v. 6 and tell me if it is working or not. When I connect my computer (Windows 7) via USB and click tether, it shows tethering is active but then within a few second the usb connection drops, so the tethering is terminated. I don't know if this is a problem happening by my computer or my device. So if some of you test it and confirm it is working then everything is good and I need to find out why computer is dropping the USB connection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Thank you sooo much. It was annoying the crap outta me :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
This is gettin interesting! =D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Whitehawkx:
I noticed in your OP it said the tethering options are missing from Settings. This stuff is typically built from the same source and LG just enables/disables stuff according to the carrier, etc.

I'd be willing to be if you decompile the Settings.apk and look in the relevant smali for where tethering should be you will find it. Just look for lines that have "removepreference" in them and comment them out. Then recompile and it will show the new options.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Maybe its just me (is it just me?) Or is the browser on the stock roms for this phone faster than say that of non stock 2.7 roms?

I guess my real question is did LG optimize the browser for their stock roms to take advantage of the 2 cores? Or are all android roms feeding dual core support to the browser?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tdizzle404:
Wow thank you man this is just what I needed I may wait till v6 to flash and report but thank you in advance. You have been very helpful in many forums and I'm glad to see to releasing this build.

Is HDMI working?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
Well yeah of course you have to :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hmichaelkim:
I wonder why they never made this into an OTA, it couldnt have been much more work to do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Because they wanna leave our loved p999 as ****ty as possible so that we will have to buy another one of their phones to get the latest software upgrade :p Example: Ice Cream Sandwich
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Here it is. Version 6 of this rom. I would now consider it a hybrid as I had to take some files from 2.3.3 to get Mobile HotSpot and UMA working. We just need to figure out if the tethering issue is just me or I need to look for a missing file or an errant settings.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboogie3:
@jboxer let me know if you need anymore help. I see you figured out what was missing already.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you don't mind flashing it and see if tethering works for you. Or if you can figure out why tethering is turning on and then usb drops, forcing tethering to disconnect. The USB connection between my computer and P999 is stable except for this tethering issue.

I was going to do that but after decompiling settings.apk it looked like a foreboding task. I tried the settings.apk from the stock 2.3.3 rom and it is working perfectly, so I used that one. There was also a very obscure file missing that prevented the HotSpot feature from working that I borrowed from 2.3.3. There are bout ten files from 2.3.3, including libs, etc. so I would now consider this rom a hybrid of sorts but still stock.

This specific 2.3.4 build was made for Tracfone to try to get them to carry and sell the device. LG rushed the G2X 2.3.3. update out due to the class action lawsuit against them in the U.S.A. The release rendered most actionable points in the lawsuit moot and saved LG from a huge settlement. They have been working on releases for P990s in Europe. I actually have downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.4 for the EU P990. That's where I got the new boot animation and power down sequence. Thinking about porting the rom to the P999 (if I can) as many have requested it, even though I personally hate the LG UI. Here in Thailand the phone is still stuck on 2.2.2, with no promised update in sight. Maybe when LG is done updating the many versions of this phone in the rest of the world they will update it for T-Mobile, but I don't it unless T-Mobile's pay them to. In the world of big cell phone manufacturer's and carriers T-Mobile would have to request and pay for another update at a cost of many millions of dollars (usually a per handset fee). Only critical updates (fix major bugs) are free. Maintenance updates to fix annoying issues are not free but a reasonable cost for a big company and major updates (new versions just because) are costly to the carriers. That's why you don't see U.S. released phones updated much, with the exception of Nexus series phones and sometimes HTC who issues updates on their own.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
Hopefully we can get the 2.3.4 kernal as this battery life is terrible. Are there any major updates in v6 or just more the few minor updates?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
This rom is using the 2.3.4 kernel. I am getting the same or slightly better battery life then I did with stock 2.3.3. What apps do you have running.

Not much to update. Want to keep as close to stock as possible. Just want to get wired tether working and the rom is essentially complete.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
JB, I don't have a BT pc on hand to test but have u tested BT tethering??? Does it disconnects just like USB? Dont wanna know it till tomorrow when I test it... still gonna post results!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Bluetooth turns on but I never got around to trying to pair a device. My phone can see my computer but when I try to pair with it the computer doesn't respond. Also the computer cannot see the P999 when it is discoverable. I think there must be files for bluetooth for the wrong radio. I need to find them and fix that also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Battery for me is also better than 2.3.3 builds considering I use the same apps and same heavy use.

As of the moment, tethering and hotspot is not my main issue since I have poor service in my current are. My main issue right now is the wonky cell signal that is sometimes opposing to the description as I stated in earlier posts. Also, I am not concern anymore with Carrier name/label not showing. Because when it is not showing that means I have service. LoL.

By the way, JB, is the framework-res.apk of these builds from the original L95G rom? If Yes, then L95G is just really P999 but for tracfone. WHy? Because as I was scanning through the files inside that framework apk, I saw P999 instead of L95G. If no, then no. hehehehe.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Uhmm weird... just tried to pair with my old htc desire cdma with cm7 and I was able to receive and send files
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The framework and most of the files are from the L95G. Yes, it is just a P999 that is be retasked for Tracfone. They seemed to have used the source from 2.3.3, changed the tree for compiling and made changes to cripple things for Tracfone. So yes there are many references to P999 and TMO in the rom. Also, it is amusing that there are power down animation in the rom for Tracfone, T-Mobile and Verizon. I really wonder what the Verizon one is doing in there? Maybe a CDMA or LTE version in the works?

Yes, the bluetooth situation is strange. I can turn on Bluetooth and connect to my other phone. When my P999 is discoverable the computer cannot see it. If I make my computer discoverable the P999 can see it but it cannot connect to the computer. Between my two phones it works just fine. I'm not sure what is going on with this? I need someone back on stock 2.3.3 to see if it is exhibiting the same behavior. Also, see if tethering works or is disconnecting like it is doing in this rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I rebooted my computer and phone and now Bluetooth is working. I think there was just something messed up on my computer. So I can safely say Bluetooth is working. i will try pairing a headset later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
And I will try BT tethering tomorrow ASAP...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
BT headset works for me...

Tested on Backbeat 903, Arctic Cooler P311 and Emerson em510.

***on the power off, yes I have seen verizon also, same thing in 2.3.3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Cool I am downloading now I will let you know about the tethering in a little while.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
USB tethering

Hey whats up Jboxer I tried USB tethering and it works great. Actually really great. It is connected to my computer at 412.3 Gbps. Yeah Gbps thats just how fast the info transfers between my computer and the phone. I really never use usb tethering but I do use the hotspot. The actual speed was over 18 mbps which is great for tmobile in my area. If I use usb tethering and I am rooted does it use my data? I read somewhere that if you are rooted and you tether or use the hotspot it wont use your data but I think the hotspot does but i dont know about the usb tether Anyway thats not for this thread sorry. This ROM kicks ass good job man. Might I suggest status bar tweeks? I think every rom should have that feature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Does this have the T-Mobile GPS settings/fix? If not, could you add it next time please?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
G2x has a max theoretical speed of 14.4Mbps downlink :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
My computer keeps resetting the USB connection when I enable tethering, and as soon as the USB link is broken tethering stops. I don't know why my computer is doing that. I even tried reinstalling the LG Driver package. There must be something I installed on my computer interfering with the driver. I wish I could figure out what it is. Thanks for letting me know tethering is working.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this behavior? If I plug the phone into usb in the device driver I can see the LG modem. As soon as I click on "Tether" the phone says Tethered in the notification window and then immediately the USB resets and tethering turns off, and my phone acts like I just plugged it into the usb. I don't use wired tether but want to make sure everything is working, and this type of thing annoys me.

Nope, that is not correct. The G2X has a max download capability of 21Mbps.

The GPS works fine as it is. I am not planning on making any changes. The rom is rooted you can just use Root Explorer and edit the build.prop right on the phone yourself. Make sure to make a copy of it first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
excuse me for my ignorance but what is the difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 apart that you can use video chat in Google ( or something like that )

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Nice job jboxer!

I also appreciate you posting the kernel. I hope all the devs follow your example. Having the kernel available makes testing and trying different things feel a little safer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
Well aren't the "smart one" lol.

I had sync on the first day to get all my data, but mainly just use messaging,email, stocks, and either words by post or friends. I can get maybe 7-8hours on a charge. Hopefully a couple of charge cycles will change this.

Keep up the good work, very smooth and very stable. puts 2.3.3 to shame on this device!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
This rom is the fastest I ever used. Gonna use this for awhile!

I needed a good stock rom because I dont like not being able to use the internal sd as the main for apps and stuff. I like my ext has a media only thing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I think the main reason it is fast is because it doesn't have a lot of bloat apps running in the background.

Have you tried the USB tethering yet? I need input from as many people as possible if this works or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
i dont know I never used usb tethering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Can you try it out please. Just connect USB cable to phone and computer. Of course, you have to have the LG driver package installed. Then go to settings, wireless and networks, tehtering and portable hotspot and click on USB tethering. Does it stay connected or does it connect and then immediately disconnect due to the usb port resetting? I need people to try this and report back on whether it stays connected or resets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zgjbeta:
does this have the LG Framework on it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
IF you are referring to the LG UI, no it does not. This is based on a rom built by LG for Tracfone's L95G evaluation units. It is a very clean, vanilla Android, bloatfree rom that I have modified to get working on our devices, plus some cosmetic changes. The changes I have made (I might have forgot some) are:

Restored mobile hotspot functionality (Tracfone had it removed

also restore USB tethering but unsure if it is working (need testers)

Changed apn file to support auto setting of virtually all gsm carriers worldwide

Change bootup and power down animation to those of non-carrier LG phones

Made a version to add T-Mobile wifi calling for people that want/need this

Changes to build.prop to get everything running correctly on P999

the original L95G rom had a lot of functionality removed for Tracfone

Other small changes here and there to get it working smoothly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zgjbeta:
Installed the rom works great as expected the Carrier Notification Text (T-Mobile) isnt there. Havent tried bluetooth but expecting that to work i rarely use it anyways. Surprisingly tethering works im actually usb-tethered right now. It is a bit odd however i had to unplug the phone a couple of times and my win 7 x64 is still installing the drivers for it (the little icon by the tray bar is still circling) it is still installing the CDC Ethernet Control Module Driver and that hasnt stopped but like i said my usb tethering is working. One thing i found strange this time around unlike all the other roms the Wifi Calling works i can make calls but the icon doesnt show up on the tray nor is there one on the app drawer. So a bit different but still worth it i think. Id like to see all of these working so anything i can do to help just PM me. I can deff test for you as often as i can.

Edit: Ok failed to install previous mentioned drivers. I do have internet though, as i have disabled wifi and have no other wired connection to the laptop i.e (RJ45). The icon at the bottom of my screen shows a wired connection connected to Local Area Connection 3 which is the name of the LG Connection and that i have internet access.

Is this cam better than flak0's Cam V 3.0? A family member of mine installed your rom as well but also the v3.0 cam from flak0. When we used GTalk he could see my cam which is the stock that came with this rom but his cam was distorted maybe a bit laggy. We were both on wifi when making the call.

Nonetheless, THANK YOU! Your work is greatly appreciated we understand the time it takes to do the work you do and for that i thank you personally!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
So when you are tethering does the box stay checked in settings and in the notification bar there is a blue icon showing tethering is connected?

My phone connects to the computer and immediately resets the usb and disconnects. I cannot get tethering to stay connected. I even tried wiping and flashing new and it did the same thing on two different Windows 7 computers ( 32 bit). Maybe it is a 32 bit Windows issue? I need more people to test usb tethering so I can figure out what is going on? I don't think my usb port is bad as it works for everything else such as adb, mass storage, etc. This is a strange issue.

As far as icons missing in UMA, etc. it is probably that something is missing from the framework files as Tracfone wanted all these features removed. I need to figure out what and put it back in if I can. The carrier name issue is perplexing also as in Thailand my carrier shows. Need to figure out why U.S. carriers don't show and fix that also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Jboxer I just reinstalled windows to factory I do that once in a while that might ne why it worked for me. If you want you should give that a try it might help if not go to howtogeek.com it is a fourm like xda they can definitely help you with any PC or Mac problems you have. I also found that some USB wires are temperamental and give a problem hooking up to my PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zgjbeta:
Yes it stays connected and the blue icon.comes.up. As for your case I'd try 1. Different USB port 2. Removing reinstalling drivers 3. Different USB cable 4. See if 32/64 makes a difference. Just to rule out a few things but yes I think as far as in my case.with the wifi calling I'm gonna try installing the tmo wifi app from 2.3.3 see if.that makes a difference
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
I also installed the Froyo camera and it works fine as on any other rom the one that comes with this rom is the stock also camera and the only real issues with the froyo camera is the FCC is not working properly that and no cm7. That is why it is fuzzy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I tried it on two different computers and two different usb cables. It seems like the phone is resetting the usb connection. It is baffling me.

Edit: I got out my Windows XP machine I keep for flashing, etc. I had to install a special inf file for tethering on Windows XP that I got from www.android.com/tether#usb. After four or five tries I got USB tethering to work on my Windows XP computer. Every time I would disconnect to test it, it took four to five attempts to get it to stay connected for tethering. So at least I know it is working. There is something on my phone that is temperamental about the tethering connection. The USB works fine for all other things like adb, mass storage, etc. No matter how many times I tried it on my two Windows 7 computers I could never get it to stay connected long enough for the NDIS drivers to install. I don't use it anyway, but wanted to make sure it was working. If anyone else's P999 is flakey on tethering like this please let me know in this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Lucky you... read my sig, I cant even nvflash anymore =(

Guess im stuck with 5.0.2.0 cwm unless I find a way to mount the recovery partition and restore a previous one through terminal inside android... thats why I asked bout Bluetooth Tethering, cuz its the only way I can share internet and files to and from my pc
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
@albertorodast2007 - Have you checked your USB port for dust or lint inside blocking the connections. Since it has no cover a small amount of dust, lint, etc in there could be causing the kind of problem you are having.

Also try turning on the Smartshare feature. It should let other devices see your files on the same network. I have never used it. You can try it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Yeah I have dropbox installed! Uhm maybe I'll grab some compressed air from my work and spray a bit on my g2x... since I installed zoodles kid mode on my phone my toddler plays a lot with it... maybe some dust, food grease or even dough has accumulated inside! You know how toddlers are...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tdizzle404:
im tmous do I use P999 2.3.4 rooted stock v. 6 or UMA version for T-Mobile wifi calling features of v. 6?
