I am going to be putting together a flash for a P999 version of the just released P990 2.3.4 rom with LG UI. I need a few guinea pigs willing to try out the flash and see if their phones boot up and to tell me what is not working. If you are interested please PM me your email address so I can send you a download link. I will not publicly post it until I know it at least boots. It most likely will be a day or two until it is ready to be flashed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
man i been looking for this for the longest. i do have a g2x the i dont use its rooted and everything. i am willing to try but if it doesnt boot up can i still go to recovery go back to my nandroid?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, you should be able to go into recovery as long as you installed CWM Recovery using the NVFlash method and NOT Rom Manager. You could then restore a backup. I always suggest making a current backup before flashing any rom to your phone just in case ...

Being rooted doesn't matter as I will pre-root the new rom. The only thing that matters is that CWM Recovery is installed on the physical recovery partition on the device.

Got about three or four guineas already. You are welcome to join. I will be putting the first attempt together tomorrow. It is almost 3 a.m. in the morning where I live (ICT timezone).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
excited for this, I like having a custom UI, so this will be neat... I wish I could test for you, but waiting on a call. Very glad to hear you have some testers and are putting forth effort to this rom for us.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
great then im set to go. i have cwm with nvfash. just pm me when your ready
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
Send on to be too. I would love to test it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
does it come with sugar coated gumdrops
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Ill flash. Ill send you a pm now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deleted member 2747343:
im one of the testers i sent you a pm i cant wait for this!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
PM sent. Can't wait to try this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Pm sent as well, would like to give this a whirl... test it through the night!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I sent a pm. I would like to test if possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisjustin:
Count me in

Ready and willing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Send me a link as well im down to test

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You should never post your email in an open forum. Spambots are going to harvest it and you will get so much spam you will cry. Edit your post and remove your email and PM it to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Sent you a pm... I'd be happy to test..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
this is going to be like a 2.3.4 stock rom like the one with the lg-95? no changes to the baseband right? just making sure
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
We don't have the capability to change the baseband. It is not possible to do by flashing a rom on this device. This will be stock LG 2.3.4 with LG UI and colorization by LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
ok. will it have tmo wifi calling? or you have to flash it individually like in the lg-95 case?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Version 1, which is uploading right now, won't have WiFi calling. Once I found out the rom boots and works I will make a flashable zip so TMO people can just add it to the rom.

Everyone who PM'd me. You will get a PM soon with download link. Please keep it private and do not post the link in any forum or website. I want to make sure it works before making download links public.

Based on what I saw in the rom I believe version 1 should boot and work. The rom was almost identical to the P999 rom except for apps, UI skinning, etc. I did an MD5 on some files and they were the same.

Upload should be done in 30 minutes.

No more testers please. I have enough for now. Thanks to everyone who PM'd me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
When do you sleep? I see you here all the time. Happy to test. PM sent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Sleeping has been a problem for me lately. I live in Bangkok and so far I have been lucky as the floods haven't come to me yet, but they are within a few kilometers so that is a little stressful. Also, my work has closed due to the floods and I am not working right now but still being paid (flood Holiday pay). So I am passing my time working on roms for the G2X. I would rather be back at work. Sitting around waiting for the floods to come has been rather boring and stressful at times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I understand about the floods. It has not made much news here regarding your situation, but I can sympathize. My business was threatened this spring and early summer when the Missouri river overran it's banks and the Army Corp of Engineers blew up some levees to relieve pressure up stream.

I appreciate your efforts during your down time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
I send you like 3 pm 's willing to test but i dont know if they went thru
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes they all went through. One was enough. I am not contacting people until the rom was uploaded. It is done but uploading version 1a as I forget to change the apn lists to my worldwide list. Added Wind Canada to it also. Should be done in less than one hour and all 16 guinea pigs will be getting a link by PM.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
yeah, sorry about that, is that after sending the PM , the sent items folder on the PM list was empty, like it didnt go thru :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Under additional options you have to check the "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
ohhh i see, well that is a first, other forums does that automatically :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Ok. PMs have been sent for the test version 1a. Please give feedback in this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Haven't received mine yet...

Getting ready to flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
it boot up fine looks great and the first thing i notice is the battery icon its white and have this ? sign in the middle

and u get baseband unknown and no signal at all i reboot and still

wifi wont work either

i get an error when i turn it on
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Ok. I will look into that stuff and see what is going on.

Please restore your backup and confirm your phone is back to normal.

Looks like version 2 will be on the way once I address these issues.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
another thing i found is the both sdcard and internal memory are unavailable. gonna flash my nandroid and report back

i restored my nandroid fine i even got my baseband back
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Testers. Please report bugs and issues in this thread. Not by PM. Thank you.

Also, if you have not installed it yet please don't as there is a no signal issue I am looking into.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisjustin:
no signal, no wifi, no sd, loving the ui
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 96traxx:
Same here, no signal, no sd, boots fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Okay, version two uploading now. I believe I fixed the sd card issues. I also think I left some P990 ril files in by mistake and I replaced it with the P999 one. If that was the issue that should take care of signal and wifi issues as the baseband chip controls both.

If anyone flashed please restore backup and let me know your phone is ok.

I will just post version 2 here. If anyone wants to try it out AT THEIR OWN RISK more power to them.

Thanks to everyone helping me get this working.

At least it boots and runs. That is always a good first step.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisjustin:
restored fine no issues
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Glad to hear it. Version 2 has about a 30 minute upload complete ETA. I think this will fix most issues. :-) At least I hope it will. I saw what was wrong in regards to mounting internal and external sd cards and a RIL file was left over from P990 so the interface between the phone and baseband wasn't talking to each other nicely.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
i got working wifi and signal...

jb, what are the files for sd?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Here is version 2. Please report back in this thread of any issues and please especially report what is working.

Version 2 Download URL: [Deleted - Please download version 3]

Please do not post this link on any forum or website. I will post a version when I consider it ready for public consumption. You guys agreed to be guinea pigs so you are testing at your own risk. Please don't blame me if something goes horribly wrong with your phone (not likely but anything is possible).

Please do the following to flash.

1. Reboot into CWM

2. Factory reset, clear Dalvik and format system

3. Flash zip file to install the rom

4. Reboot phone and hope for the best

Remember, first boots on new roms take considerably longer then a normal boot. Please don't be considered if you see the LG logo for five minutes or longer. You should see static LG boot logo, the animated logo (green bar), and then the boot animation. After the boot animation and the LG logo is on the screen is when the Dalvik is rebuilding. This process takes a long time depending on how many apps are installed, and this rom has quite a few factory installed app (plus a reboot app and superuser app I added).

Please note: No apps have been removed from this rom yet. You will see an FM Radio app. Please don't get too excited about that because it probably will not work and eventually be removed. There are a lot of crap apps LG shoved on to this rom and in future versions after I get it working will make a lean version with most of the LG craplications removed.

Please report back as soon as you can on if the rom booted, how it is performing, do you have a signal, does wifi, bluetooth, etc. work. Please give bug reports, etc. in this thread. Please don't PM me. It is better for everyone for this to be an open discussion and a team effort.

Thanks for being good sports and testing this out. A lot of people have been asking for this and since LG finally dropped a Gingerbread P990 rom I decided to give it a try now that LG has started deploying 2.3.4 on P990 devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
What files did you change to get signal and wifi working? Did you just copy over the RIL files from my other ROM? Please post here to help everyone else.

To all testers: Please just don't say I got something working. Please tell us what you did to get it working to facilitate faster revisions and help people with similar problems.

I just posted version 2 that should fix the signa, wifi and sd card issues.

To fix sd card replace /syste/etc/vold.fstab with the one in the attached zip file. Also replace /system/etc/format_fat32.sh or if you format using settings it will format the wrong partitions.

zip download link: http://www.multiupload.com/0MAONZKSXW
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
yes, i used ril files fro p999. with the wifi, i used the module file from L95G.

I will test the sd. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You mean the wireless.ko file? Yea, I kept the wrong one in the first version. The correct one is in version 2. That file is compiled with the kernel and must match the kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
to replace those files i need root explorer right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Yes...

By the way, maybe we can have like this on IRC next time. Just a suggestion though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, but it would be easier to just download and flash version 2. You wouldn't even need to wipe, just clear the Dalvik Cache if you are flashing from version 1.

If you want to do it manually here are the list of files changed in version 2.

/system/lib/lge-ril.so

/system/lib/libganril.so

/system/lib/librilswitch.so

/system/lib/modules/wireless.ko

/system/etc/vold.fstab

/system/etc/format_fat32.sh

Take them from my other 2.3.4 rom if you have downloaded it or the LG-L95G image, or just flash verison 2.

Use Root Explorer and paste over the existing file. Change permissions to 644 (owner-RW, Group-R, Others-R) and owner to Root.Root.

If radio, wifi, etc. are working time to start a new development thread with version 2.

Thanks to you guys that were testing this right away for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
downloading now glad I slept in today! nice little surprise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Don't download version 2

I am getting a force close on com.android.phone and no signal.

@ jose makalolot - Exactly what files did you change? Is it working without a force close? Maybe I changed too many files on version 2. Please tell me exactly what you did and I will go back to version 1 and only make your changes and see if I can get it working with no force close. I am still getting no signal also. It shows baseband but doesn't see the sim. Also shutting down and rebooting getting stuck on the LG logo. Booted first time after flash but not again. Some things to work out.

Version 2:

Things that worked for me: wifi, sd internal and external, adb

Things that didn't work for me: no signal but had baseband, stuck on lg logo on reboot

I am going to bed soon so version 3 is going to need to wait.

@ jose makalolot - If your version 1 is working with your changes please make a backup in CWM and send me the system image please. That will help me get this working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
mine its still downloading and i think i started to download 20 mins ago
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
I just replaced the lib files with ril in the file name. Also replaced rild in bin folder.

Do get fc on gapps? I get fc on gapps.

Jb, you need to get some sleep man...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
almost done downloading lol... but a little hesitant if gapps aren't working, or the signal lol... once those are fixed maybe???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I did not replace rild in bin folder. I will do that, upload version 3 and go to bed. I have been going to bed at the time I normally get up to go to work. I hate historical floods. Bangkok is surreal right now. If I drive my moto on bridges, overpasses, etc. there are thousands of cars lining them as people have parked them wherever they could to avoid them being ruined in the floods. Strange time for Thailand.

We'll get the gapps working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Version 3 on the way

I just deleted versions 1 and 2 from multiupload so people don't download them as they aren't quite working. Version 3 should work but I think the battery icon will still have a question mark on it. There must be a file that works with the kernel that monitors the battery that we need to replace. If anyone has any ideas on this please post them here. Gapps is something we can get working once we have a semi stable UI to play around with. After I post version 3 I am out of here to get some sleep (I hope).

Upload ETA about 43 minutes.

I understand but that is why the title of the thread is guinea pig request. I never expected the first couple of versions to work perfectly. I am stocked it booted into Android and the LG Ui the first attempt. This is for alpha testing only. If you aren't willing to have stuff not work and report back then wait until we get a stable version posted to the development thread.

Version 3 will work but another tester has reported Gapps FC. That is not something I can work on tonight but it will be solved.

Testers: I need you to report everything that works and everything that doesn't work. For example, could you go into settings, account and log into your Google account? What apps work, what don't. etc?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Ya I completely understand wasn't saying anything to imply "why you uploading things that are broken" I just assumed that gapps and basic things would be working, stupid on my part. I'll probably still flash and mess with it. keep some notes going on the side just in case I get things to work, some magical way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
just flashed version 2 and now i see the baseband but no signal. wifi works fine. and yup android keeps fc
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The no signal is due to me missing a file in /system/bin (/system/bin/rild was for P990 and not P999 - my bad). It has been fixed and version 3 is uploading now. 18 minute ETA for download link.

Also, root is not working but that should be fixable by flashing my root zip. Link below. Just flash rom and then flash root zip before rebooting. I will need to look into why root not working (just a permissions issue most likely as the files are there).

Root zip: http://www.multiupload.com/VT1IW3RWKF
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Flashed version 2 and things seem to work!

I logged into gmail and ive installed a few apps. So gapps does work.

The keyboard kinda sucks.

The battery icon seems to have a question mark.

The FM app sorta works? it scanned and found stations but no audio.

Music and Video player dont seem to work, but YouTube works including audio.

WiFi works.

Bluetooth works and it paired with my other phone.

I like it so far. My SIM card is not in the phone though. It says no SIM so it is detecting SIM cards id guess.

Otherwise, ROM is snappy and fast!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Version 3

Please follow flashing instructions previously posted in the thread.

Download URL: http://www.multiupload.com/081JGPAN6W

MD5 Checksum: d0cf146e0a13b6b8b5613ff7a0032bb3

Please report all good and bad in this thread.

Thanks.

Radio won't work with sim until you flash version 3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
thanks for version 3. downloading right now. are you going to bed now? if so im gonna write down all the bugs i get and report them to you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
@jose makalolot - On version 3 I still have no signal and force close on phone app and an X on the signal bar. I need the backup image of your modified version 1 asap please. That will help me get this working. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
I will upload it when I get home. I just left the house.

Issues with version 3

I still get no signal. If I turn off the phone it won't boot a second time. Gets stuck on second boot (kernel) animated logo (version 2 got stuck on third LG boot logo so it got further). Most other things worked including wifi, gapps, etc. The battery icon had a question mark on it. Here are some screen shots from my G2X running version 3. I am restoring my phone and then going to sleep. Hopefully you guys can keep working on it and get it more stable by the time I wake up.

I look forward to downloading it when I wake up. By the way, can you turn the phone off and reboot successfully with your mods?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
How does the messaging app look? Contacts? Very interested in that. May just flash version 3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Sorry I didn't go into that and do a screengrab and my phone is already restored and way past time for me to go to sleep. If you flash it expect no signal but on wifi I logged into Google and downloaded an app from the Market. So most things are working. We just need to figure out which files need replacing to get everything working.

Do a backup in CWM and then flash version 3 just for laughs and giggles to check it out. You can then boot back into CWM and restore your rom and everything will be back exactly as you had it.

I might also just try skinning my other rom with the framework, etc. from this one and move over some apps. That might be a better way to go?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i have a question seems like the LGHOME works fine. can we installed that version on other roms would it work? and how about the icons
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
That's another way to approach this. I mentioned that above. To get the icons, etc. we would need to use the framework files from the P990 rom and hope they work with the L95G rom. Also, very interesting, is that the wifi icon turned from white to green, as it is supposed to, when connected to Google's data servers. That has never worked on the P999 for some reason. The P990 rom also has a built in font changer, which is a nice feature. Ok, bye for now. I really am going to bed now. GN and GD everyone. Be back in about seven hours or so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Downloading version 3 now. Give me a few minutes to make the screenshots public, jboxer. Dang, beat me to it.

Anyways, seems not much different than version 1, wifi now works, but I still can't get cell radio to work.

Media scanner actually works now, but music and video player never load up. 3D gallery works perfect.

External SD card work, but internal SD won't show up.

LG Camera (!) is in this ROM, but is seems a little dark. also greeted with 'Mount your internal SD Card'

Battery meter is still '?'
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
Using the ROM all day now. Aside from swype not working. All is fantastic!

Thanks

[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
JP, i installed it, loving the UI, having that blueish theme matches well with lg boot animation

havent tried to get a signal here in my house, there is none

there are new live wallpapers included with this build

-wifi works

-gapps works

youtube, gmail, maket, voice search, voice dialer, google sync , etc

-internal and external drives mounted on my device without problems

-****the most important of this stock 2.3.4 rom is that it came with a lg cam stock froyo cam in all his glory (no GB stock crap camera) 8mb pics, 1080p videos, with all of the shot modes working, no issues with flash, working ffc, no green boxes or sideways like the problem we are having with flak0 ported cam. IF we could adapt it to 2.3.3 it would make a lot of peoples happy (myself included :) )**** i wonder where is flak0 when we need him :/

-fm radio works, well it scans and get the radio station but is mute or no audio

-cant get gps to work :/

-the music app that came with the rom doesn't want to load (music player in notification is affected because of this app), i downloaded the music app that is on the market, 4.0 i think it is, works without problem, with audio an all

-when i tried to charged the battery, it says 999% charged in the lock-screen, (maybe that is why there is a ? in the battery icon because it reads over 100%, maybe a battery calibration fix this )

i get this annoying com.android.phone has stopped error every like every 2 or 3 seconds

if i reboot it after the initial boot, i get stuck on the 3rd lg logo boot animation

i dont know what more to say, i hope we can get this to work because this rom is awesome

edit: i reboot it once again, i did get a successful full boot, it just took a while to load from the 3rd lg screen to the phone to start, like 3 to 5 minutes :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Does your radio work (i.e., you get a cell signal)? On my phone I always got an "X" on the signal bar. The reboot should not take that long. Something is not right. Not sure what to try next. Which version did you flash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
i cant confirm right now if i get a cell signal, where i live there is none whatsoever, and is like 1am here, so i cant check for now, i flashed v3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You can still tell. Is there an "X" next to or above the signal bars. Does your notfication window say "No Service" or "Not in Service?"

No Service - sim read, radio ok

Not in Service - sim not read, radio wonky
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
no service, red x on the signal bars
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
When can you upload the image? I need it to figure out why yours is working and version 3 still no cell signal.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FeloHFP:
we need to export the camera app that is on this rom, i hate the stock gb one lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
jb did you got the upload of jose makalolot? he says hes changed something that made his signal works
