good luck, man =)

btw, i have SE K550 with modded firmware (something around 70 patches, elf support? modified graphics etc) and sometimes i want to switch from my X8 to K550 coz of battery life :rolleyes:

using the method in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323946

i would like to install that faster rom everyone os raving about because my phone is dog slow. what rom comes with this method that i just did? can i install that gingervolt rom using this root or do i have to re-root using another method?
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
root is root. as long as you have root and CWM you can flash Gingervolt no problem.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
If that is the root method you used, you do not have cwm recovery yet. You either need to run the newest version i posted earlier (yes it is ok to run the root.bat even if you already have root!), use RevoToolkit, or install manually. Then you can install the rom.
[LG Revolution] onlyoneromeo:
Ok I'm going to go do that now . I'm going to use the revotoolkit. So basically what that tool kit does is allow you to install custom roms? I hope that ginger volt can speed my phones processes up. I really don't want to ask for another htc device and my only two choices to swap for was the charge and this phone. Ugh I'm so frustrated...
[LG Revolution] onlyoneromeo:
ok so used revtoolkit and installed it and then downloaded the gingervlt zip file to my sd card. i rebooted the phone while pressing the power and vol down key an it came up w a screen asking if i wanted to erase everything. i watched a youtube vid that said to proceed with that and nothing would be erased and it did erase everything. how do i get into that screen to exract that zip file?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
The root method you used is out dated and does not remove the files to make clockwork stick. Reuse revotoolkit to reinstall cwm, after confirmed to have worked, while still in revotoolkit press menu and hit reboot recovery.
[LG Revolution] onlyoneromeo:
ok i reinstalled the cwm and when i click on the reboot option the screen on the phone is on but blank. am i missing something?
[LG Revolution] onlyoneromeo:
so if i use the all in one package root and unroot method you posted in the other board i should be able to install the rom i want without all the problems im having now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Hello, my cappy is running the latest Nightly build of CM7, and I just installed Glitch Kernel V12. I noticed however, that I have no way of accessing the ClockworkMod recovery menu upon startup with the 3 button combo. I can't remember if I could access it before installing the kernel, but now I am concerned since I can't reach it without fully booting the phone and then going into recovery. This could be bad if my phone got stuck in a bootloop, so what do I need to do to ensure access to recovery menu?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Go into download mode and flash GB bootloaders. My guess is that you won't be able to get to download and you will need a jig.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
I've been checking out the latest ROMs on here for the Evo 4G and a few are Sense 3.5 but have no working 4G...

I've read some posts that said "until a phone with Sense 3.5 is released 4G will not be working" or something to the effect that there are no 4G devices running Sense 3.5...well I was in Best Buy tonight checking out the new phones and saw the HTC Verizon Rezound...I checked the "about phone" and it's Sense 3.5...and has working 4G....and Beats Audio which sounded goddamn great on that device by the way...

SOOO....my questions is this: have the devs simply not had a chance to hook up a ROM with Sense 3.5 and working 4G or have I just read a few posts about "no working 4G with Sense 3.5" by people who are NOT developers and have no clue WTF they're talking about??

THANX
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
4G is a term coined from companies to represent their high speed internet.. LTE , Wimax, and hspa+(ATT uses this but w.e.) are all the "proper" way phones should be advertised. Verizon and ATT use LTE. Sprint uses Wimax(switching to LTE 2012) they are all different from one another. The new 3.5 sense has LTE so it isn't compatible with Wimax..or 4G as you call it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngchris29:
The rezound is a Verizon phone. Verizon 4g runs on LTE. The EVO runs on Wimax for 4g. These are two different 4g technologies. In short, the posts you read were correct because until Sprint releases a Wimax phone with sense 3.5 we will not have a sense 3.5 Rom with 4g for our evos.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngchris29:
You beat me to it! Lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
Haha yea. But the more info the more people understand
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
Looks legit, seems like you've got all the bases covered.

I'd like to try it this weekend, give you some feedback.

And thanks for the little tidbits of info, didn't know Wifi Calling sucked up battery even when not in use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
It was horrible on my Vibrant. I think it has improved on the G2X, but still not perfect. It receives notifications on all signal changes, even if you don't have it set up to use. I'm not sure if it does that if you're not on T-Mobile... best to remove the APK if you're not using it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
Going to give it a try

Good to see a new dev on here. I'm going to back up my rom and give this a shot. Will post results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vago023:
Looks very nice. I love the transparent notification pulldown and those quick panel icons look sick!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I have to not take credit for the actual pulldown graphics, I just ported them using dreamsforgotten's guide!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Looks great thank you. Gonna run it for a bit and see how it does. But first thing to look me in the face is.......Wow! This bad boy absolutely flies!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
Two bad downloads in a row. Won't install. (Third time was a charm. Installed and running)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Did you check the md5 hash? It appears at least a couple others have successfully downloaded it, but I'll double check it.

When you say won't install - what happens?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
In CWM it says "Installation Aborted" right after I try to start the install. I redownloaded a third time from another site using Firefox instead of Chrome and it worked. I like what I see so far! Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Homescreen has a lag type flinch after unlock. (just posting findings. Not complaining)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Could be the window animation effect. It animates the lock screen going away.... didn't mention that in the changelog.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Its not the animation. I see that. Pretty cool. But the home screen comes on, then flashes black, then comes on again. Only happens on the home screen, no other screen. Oddly enough, when turn animations off it does not do it. But I run "some animation" and you did nice work yours. Hate to waste it. ;) so far everything is very smooth and noticeably faster than im used to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Ahh, the homescreen lag. Yeah, I've seen that on a number of stock-based Roms.. something is up with LG's code. I've seen it go away and then come back, no idea what causes it. Doesn't happen on Cm7/MIUI roms. But, I need everything to work, so I don't use those.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
I get that lag too on Weapon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] etp23:
Looks nice should port to t mobile g2 :) does it have theme Chooser??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
no rom that isn't based on cm7, will be able to run theme chooser.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Wow awesome rom! :)

A version of this based on 2.3.4 without wi-fi calling would be the perfect rom though. Please consider?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookoomang:
no kernel for 2.3.4 and he said you can uninstall wifi calling, if u dont need it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Hey, thanks for answering my question directed at someone else!! :rolleyes:

The reason I asked is because the base 2.3.4 is much faster and more stable and has gtalk video.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lowrider262:
nice lookin rom, gonna be trying this later. is anyone having any random reboots or SOD's ? i get those occasionally on weapon rom, lookin to get away from that:o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I'm thinking that the reboots on weapon's rom are because of all the optimization on it. Any basic stock with little custom things to it I've never had issues, my best guess is you shouldn't have very many, to no issues on this rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kingdomseed:
I have been have some regular issues now with this ROM since I have been using it for about a day. After sometime, and it seems if I use the notification bar to go to a text message, the screen becomes super uncalibrated and when I touch somewhere on the screen, it reads that touch as something else entirely even to the point where it will type out a whole word in the text message field if I tap one letter on the keyboard. It is very strange. Even at one point, I was trying to type a letter at the top of the keyboard but it was reading that tap as a drag from the bottom right side of the keyboard, complete with trace in Swype. This brokenness extends to every part of the interface and requires a reboot to fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Is your sms fixed on this build? Hehehehe...

-----------

sent from my calculator with android

Huh? Gtalk video has long been working on 2.3.3 builds.

sent from my calculator with android
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Strange, I made no changes to the SMS or Swype code - it is as LG provided it. Which, of course, doesn't mean much LOL... I will take a look.

If LG didn't include it, I didn't add it. Will certainly look at doing so, as it is something I would use. For some reason I thought 2.3.3 had video built in. My Vibrant (froyo) roots are showing, aren't they?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tdizzle404:
Then flash a 2.3.4 rom:confused:

This rom is fast and stable.

Great job on the rom man!

home screen lag has been noted "no biggie"

I like the animations they are pretty cool "adds a lil jazz!:cool:"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Yeah LG didn't include... But has been working well. People just whine too much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rjsvoon:
Great Rom

I flashed this today, and after about 8 hours I'm reporting that it is all world. I set up a pattern lock, and have experienced absolutely no lag. I have flashed virtually every rom available for the G2X, every combination of kernels, and this is the first rom that allows me to actually make calls via wifi calling THROUGH my bluetooth headset. So does not only everything work that's supposed to, something actually works that I'd given up hope for. And since I have zero bars at home, I'm one of those guys that needs wifi calling or I have no phone. Thanks for the great rom! (I'm using faux's GB 1.3 kernel, primarily for voodoo.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Yes, you are confused. This rom was originally based on 2.3.4 (albeit that build was in another thread) but jboxer didn't appreciate it.

That rom was the best because it had all the features of this rom but based on 2.3.4, the 2.3.4 roms currently available don't have these features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tdizzle404:
Yea I know ,I'm actually still using it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billynguyen80s:

Smokin'

Man, this ROM is fast!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Great ROM man.

BTW, using ADW EX and it seems to fixed that home screen lag that people are talking about shortly after unlocking the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lowrider262:
the homescreen lag must be only with the stock launcher. i switched to launcherpro and it was gone immediately. smooth rom btw, also i like the mario sound for the shutdown :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I strongly considered including ADW as the default home. Unfortunately, the market free version is quite out of date compared to EX. And, the Cyanogen version has its settings integrated into the settings.apk.

I'm still open for suggestions to replace Launcher2. Launcher Pro lags hard on bootup for me no matter what phone it's on. I've even considered including the Xperia Arc launcher, but it has a few setup issues that make it not as seamless.

The Mario sound is just a bit of the "Japanese" touch I've got going on. Obviously, from the name (Baka) I am a Japanophile. However, I don't want the ROM to shout "japanese/otaku" so much that it is unusable by anyone... thus the default wallpaper is tame, and the more Otaku-style wall that I have on the last screenshot is hidden in the Launcher2 wallpaper gallery (which means you'd need to set it before switching Launchers).. Also the default ringtone is from one of my favorite animes. Kudos to anyone who recognizes it.

I am planning an update already, but I am really going to eat my own dogfood and test it for a while before sharing, because I've made a couple of changes that could affect overall stability if I did it wrong...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Can't wait to see what you have in store. Honestly everything seems fast already, I think just completing the theme more is the only thing. Could you make the battery bar blue as well instead of green?

And the color for selecting things such as in Settings is still the stock Orange color. Hopefully it can be changed to blue sometime to match the theme.

As for launchers, I agree, the free ADW is just too outdated. I think you should leave it as the stock for now as LP has it's issues. Or maybe Go Launcher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Wait, so the name of the ROM is Idiot/stupidG2x? :D

Gonna go test this now, looks pretty good so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
Can anyone coming from Weapon recomend this over Weapon 3.0? I am wondering if I should switch. How is the battery life compared to Weapon?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Marked down in my notes :) Many modders begin by theming first.. Myself, I jumped straight into hacking smali code, etc... and bypassed theming a lot! So I missed a few bits. That I can fix without making things too complicated.

Trying to avoid adding too much off the bat, I prefer minimalism since everyone customizes their own way. However, framework and systemui edits aren't something just anyone can do so I should take care of those out of the box.

Honestly it is based on the same build as Weapon. From what I can tell, things should be comparable as far as battery life is concerned. The only tweak I've done that I didn't see in Weapon that might have an affect is removing the OmaDmclient update client which appears to still be running in Weapon (correct me if I'm wrong). That required some smali editing on Settings.apk so normally you can't remove that without causing the about screen to crash - which I fixed by removing the update code from settings entirely.

Other than that, they're actually very similar underneath the surface. Weapon has EDT tweaks, which I don't, but that's not going to affect battery life. I could add EDT tweaks if people want, but it's mostly just for customization. And, of course, Weapon has TouchWiz 4 - which is nice if you like it as a launcher. I may make an "update pack" that allows you to use TW4 on BakaG2X, but I'm not a fan of it. Then of course are the lockscreens ;)... which I'm not a big fan of because they tend to be unstable a bit. I *could* add them, but then I'd feel like I was copying Weapon, because that's basically what I'd be doing unless I went back to the vibrant source and ported from there...

At this early stage, there's not a lot of features unique to this ROM. I am adding a couple of new things not so easy to add that don't exist in Weapon, but that's still in testing :) I can say, though, that one of the new features I'm testing will help users manage battery life... and isn't easy to add to a ROM unless you're rebuilding it yourself (or using CM7).

That answer got way longer than anybody wanted, I'm sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah I see what you mean, thanks for the feedback! I don't think you need to add EDT Tweaks. It's fine with out it. Could you make it so that the volume rockers snaps a photo?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Possible rom related? I just tried to restore a rom from cwm. My routine is, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, format system, restore, fix permissions. However when I went to restore I had no backups! None! So I rebooted. Reinstalled astro file manager and had no roms on my ext SD card. I always double check so I'm sure I didn't format SD card. Any clue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I haven't had this ROM do that to my SD Card, but I *did* have that happen when I was installing a different ROM a couple of weeks ago. I think there's a minor bug in CWM that caused it.. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.7 and have noticed a few other oddities...

--

Oh yeah, and OP has been udpdated with a new version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Minor? Lol. That's a huge bug. I lost everything, even my og backup. All Downloads, pics, music, everything gone. Bummer!

Thanks for the reply.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
It *IS* pretty huge... didn't mean to imply otherwise! though I don't think it's my ROM (anyone can check the updater-script)...

I'm curious - are you using 5.0.2.7 recovery or an older version? I didn't have any issues until I updated to 5.0.2.7 recovery.. For example, if you select Choose Zip From SDCard, go to external SD, go back, then go to internal SD (ie, hunting for your file), it will automatically start flashing on its own sometimes.. I've learned to back ALL the way out of Choose Zip before going from external to internal or vice versa...

EDIT:

wanna talk about wierdness? I was pretty sure I included wifi calling in the original build.. it is missing... SO I built it a SECOND time... after putting the APK in the correct folder... and it disappeared AGAIN... it's like there's a ghost in my PC... :(

Checking everything again... looks like the archive WITHOUT wifi calling is fine.. except wifi calling is missing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lowrider262:
wow already updated :p ive got one request, if u could add the 4 tab slider lockscreen mod... it is stable on the weapon rom and would be a great addition to this awesome rom IMO
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I've thought about it... I added the 5 and 9 locks mod to a couple of Roms back when I was on the Vibrant... It's a complicated process though! I almost have a feeling most people would just use widgetlocker now.

EDIT:

Okay, ghosts now exorcised from my system. Update that actually includes WiFi calling is available. Left the one without it also, for those who don't want it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I'm still on cwm 3.0.2.7. Is that bad?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I'm no expert... all I know is I had 5.0.2.0 when I first rooted this phone -- haven't had it long. I haven't heard anyone else say they've had the couple of issues I've run into so I thought maybe they were new issues. As I said though, when I did have it happen to me, this Rom wasn't even thought of yet... so there is *certainly* an issue, but it seems to be a CWM issue... the wipe has only happened to me once, and it was only my internal SD... thankfully I had backups on my computer.

EDIT:

*sigh* speaking of CWM, I was flashing from the downloads to verify the uploads were actually good.. and apparently the recommended bloat file wouldn't flash... so I'm re-uploading a new, good copy. Should be up before anyone even reads this. But, if you got a bad download just try again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
This is why after every CWM backup I plug my phone in and backup the backup to a computer.

Anyone have any issues with GPS on this rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
hahahaha... love the power off sound.

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Installed and tested first two important things for me.

GPS - Worked great! Locked way quicker then w/ most ROMs.

Skype - My outgoing video is upside down. If I flip over the phone the camera flips as well and remains upside down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Honestly? I am having the same GPS issues I've always had.... Which is to say it is terrible. Worse than my vibrant was... but I've had these issues on every G2X Rom. I used the same GPS config here that worked perfectly 1 week ago on a 1000 mile trip, locked fine 3 days ago, but today I can't get a lock despite being able to see 8 satellites with gps test. To say I'm getting sick and tired of broken GPS is an understatement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Glad to hear the GPS is working for someone At least.

The Skype issue is due to Skype itself. If you check the skype forums a lot of phones have the same problem. It was fixed in cm7very recently. When i was using lg cam, it was sideways. Regardless, the camera files are bone stock. Also the video in gtalk is right side up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lowrider262:
on my mt4g my ffc for outgoing video was always upside down, but if i edit the build.prop line for ro.manufacturer to samsung & ro.model to nexus s it would flip it right side up... i wonder if something like this would work for g2x?...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I had ****ty GPS on Weapon ROMs, I followed this guide though and it fixed it for me, i started getting locks in seconds! maybe it'll help some of you guys too

[T-Mobile LG G2x] penninajx:
Yeah, on Weapons 2.6+ I had a working GPS, now on 3.0 it's not working. May give this ROM and shot and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
The video was actually working fine for me while using the last OTA based Eaglesblood ROM. Same camera.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Don't care. It's Skype - I did not TOUCH the camera. Go check the Skype forums, tons of phones have this problem.

EDIT: Just looked at the last OTA EB Rom. He uses LG Cam. I have stock camera. NOT the same camera. If you want LG Cam, go for it, but for me LG Cam had rotated video in Google Talk.

EDIT 2: Just tested Skype. It is certainly usable, but you have to be in Landscape mode. I tried it in portrait mode, and the video was upside down with auto-rotation enabled on the phone. When I turned to landscape, it was CORRECTLY oriented. If I had auto-rotation disabled, Skype forced me to landscape mode, where again, it was CORRECTLY oriented. Looks like the only problem is portrait mode.

Again, the problem ultimately is SKYPE... There may be workarounds, but ultimately that's what they are is workarounds.

Hows battery life on this? I am having horrible live on weapon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Right now it is running a stock kernel so it will be similar. However I think I have just solved the issue of long boot times with faux or dragon kernels, so that will help greatly by offering the ability to undervolt without the long boot times there currently are when using those kernels.

EDIT: Long boot time issue fixed! Testing the kernel out now before releasing the changes, but I've got a repack of Faux123's kernel that does NOT rebuild dalvik on every bootup. May include kernel on next update, or at least as a flashable version. Have asked Faux123 if he could update his 1.3 kernel with the fix as well, as the fix is actually rather simple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] puresnow:
can this rom get cm themes? that is the only thing holding me back from making this me new favorite rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Nope. If you want CM themes, you will need to use a Cyanogen based mod. This is for those who want to use a stock based ROM.
