[T-Mobile LG G2x] 225719:
Maybe a friendly member could help me out, I have a G2x and I would like to flash it with a new rom. Something faster! Thing is I been reading the forum and I am soo confused there seams to be sooo many methods to do this and that and options and OMG I am lost!

I Flashed my Moto Cliq XT a year ago something with a apk push bla bla bla commands. It was easy because there was a STEP by STEP guide. Is there anything like that for the latest Gingerbread version? I am still looking on the forums but I am just getting more and more confused. :o

If some one could take a minute or two to recommend the programs needed and a ROM that would be faster and have nicer eye candy that would be GREAT and much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sorry if I sound like a n00b I'm actually decent with PC hardware, phones are just new to me...

After you do this you can flash any rom for g2x that you like.

I instale dcryogen but it boot loops and I whiped the cach... ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
You need to wipe data, dalvik cache, then format system before flashing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 225719:
thanks everythings working great!

Just one more question. Why dose my G2x say it only has 372 megs of total ram??? :eek: It lags allot and it never has more then 60 megs free...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The phone has 512Mb of ram but some is used by the Android system. Mine shows 372Mb available with 143Mb free. If you only have 60Mb free then you have too many apps running in the background.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 225719:
Another question. I cant install apps says insouciant storage. My storage has over a gig free. Not much instaled maybe 3 apps. Whats going on. Whiping the cache helped but now its not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
Have you checked both the SD and internal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Always install NVflasher Clockwork mod found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

I would then recommend using Titanium Backup to backup your user apps. Then copy that backup to your PC. Then wipe everything and I mean everything including system, all caches, internal and external sd.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amer1337:
im havin root issues, im trying to undervolt via setcpu but its not working so i started looking at why, its not grabbing root access somehow. so i tried another program that uses root access, titanium backup, thats not working right either anymore due to not having root access!

so i ran 1 click root, says it completed successfully, still dont have root. tried manually doing it, flashed the img onto my device go to adb to complete the procedure and it says that the img i just flashed isnt there.

im not sure what to do anymore, im running cm7 and i just flashed faux's 1.45ghz kernel today, which is when i started noticing it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amer1337:
bump, please help me.

Installed apps also dont appear in my app drawer until after a reboot.

I attempted top flash to faux's gingerbread kernel instead of the cm7 one and it didnt boot, neither did the non overclocked cm7 or GB kernel, only the faux 1.45oc one works? im confused.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Get root checker from the market and check for sure you have root. Also, reboot cos after flashing a kernel you sometimes need a reboot for everything to work.

Also, try flashing the cm7 1.0GHz stopgap kernel and wait for reboot, then wait 5 minutes, then reboot again. DO NOT pull battery after flashing. Sometimes can take 7 or 8 mins to boot up after kernel flash.

Always do a nandroid before flashing so you can get back where you were if you need to.

Worst case, flash CM7 again and start over.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amer1337:
root checker tells me i dont have root, id reflash everything but i cant use titanium backup to backup my data because i dont have root! ive rebooted it a ton of times since everytime i install an app i need to reboot to have it show in the app draw. ill look for that kernel and try it.

edit: if i install a new kernel do i need to re-root the phone

edit#2 i reflashed cm7 and faux's 1.3ghz kernel and my root permissions are back! thank you for your help, but newly installed apps still dont show in my app draw, i figured out if i restart ADW launcher they appear, is there a fix to this, or is it a bug? this never happened before.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
If you have ROM Manager, fix permissions from that. If you don't, reboot to CWM and fix permissions from there. This may help.

I say use ROM Manager 1st because it does a better job of fixing permissions for me than Romracer's CWM. Don't ask me why........it just does.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Very nice writeup man. Kudos.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinjames:
I can vouch for Virtuous Roms. All their work is bug free and visually appealing and user friendly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jawmail:
Nice write up AC.

I agree Collinjames, the new Affinity ROM is very nice, battery life is insanely good, and it's nearly bug free. My softkeys stopped lighting up so I went back to 2HD RLS1.1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
What about including custom kernals AOSP and Sense?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Yianaki:
Skyraider Zeus rom is worthy of the incredible, Incredible 2. No bugs which is the most important thing, has never crashed ever on me, that is incredibly important. I don't ever actually use sense exept for the great camera, lockscreen, and weather. But this rom is a no brainer really.

It gives you every option you could think of and has no downside.

I wish this nice little article was up when I was wasting my time trying out buggy roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bipedd:
I just feel puzzle about which rom to choose at that moment, thanks a lot for your guide.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] i'manoob:
liquid 3.x is a good aosp rom as well
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] revile:
Thanks for the post, I like how you broke down the advantages of each.. this has proven to be very helpful.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
While i agree with you aosp choices..i think everyone should at least try miui...most customizable rom I've ever used...and looks great with go launcher or launcher pro.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
I will add an "other people's recommendations section" soon. Just because I dont necessarily agree with all of these *cough*MIUI*cough*, but I want people to get all the input they can.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] valorian13:
Thanks for posting this. As someone who is new to rooting phones this information is very useful.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Yeah, I tried MIUI for a few days. Although I like how customizable it is with all the themes available I found it too buggy. I kept getting lockups and reboots. I hoped the 11.18 release would have helped but it actually made it worse. Also, the lack of an app drawer was very hard to get used to. I'm still not sure I like that concept. I guess it's too iPhone-ish for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Mine never locks up, what kernel? And use go launcher or launcher pro.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] valorian13:
Sorry but I'm not sure. I would say what ever 11.18 has. I'm still learning all there is to know about rooting so I never paid attention to kernel versions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I'm running MIUI 1.11.18 right now along with the aerovan .7 bfs kernel. I haven't had a single lockup. Running buttery smooth.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
I also run MIUI 1.11.18 an never had any problems I also use areoevan .07bsf kernel. This rom an skyraider are the two most stable roms I have run.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
If you try it with a traditional launcher you will love it lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] valorian13:
ok, so since I'm still learning here, when you flash a ROM does the kernel get changed too? Or is this something you have to flash in addition to the ROM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
yes it will change it to which ever kernel the rom

is supplied with. You can find the custom kernel you wish to use an then just flash it after the rom just make sure it's for aosp or sense which ever you choose to run.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] valorian13:
Thanks for the explanation. That helps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
Up sides and Downsides

This is a great thread to start learning the differences in the various ROMs.

As a side note, it would probably help to have a listing for each ROM or style of ROM, regarding the downside of things like:

The loss of the ##Phone Codes to access DATA programming. (CM Nightlies)

The loss of the SIM Card (Some Ported ROMs)

The loss of *228 Access (Can't remember)

Also the preferred method of switching back and forth of ROM types.

I have found that when moving from a Stock Debloted NANdroid backup to my CM Nightly NANdroid, I wipe data (Factory Reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash the ROM first then wipe the cache and dalvik, then the NANdroid.

Similar for the other way around.

Otherwise just going from NANdroid to NANdroid, even doing full wipes, I was getting a boatload of FCs.

Hope this makes sense or else I am still learning...:eek:

Edit:

Any else get this, the Red one comes with only a 8GB SD Card.:(

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PitbullVMX:
Sorry if its a dumb question, I'm just curious though because I'm on froyo since I cant stand the gingerbread camera.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xile6:
You do know that you can use gingerbread with the fryo camera right?

And i dont think anyone knows yet. YOu may get a prompt or you may have to go into tmobile and download the zip uodate file. To soon to tell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PitbullVMX:
Yeah but it has bugs still. Unless they updated it recently? Last time I checked it was still 3.0 and I used it and ffc was jacked up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xile6:
im on stock root 2.3.3 and the ffc works fine for me. I have taken a few pix with it and all seems fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
@PitbullVMX - That depends on how the OTA is formatted. If they do it correctly it should update from either Froyo or GB, but if they do it sloppy (like LG is known for) then it will update from GB only. But you can always use the LG Updater to update and hope it works without any glitches (OTA updates are safer). Not a dumb questions at all. Actually a very good question.

@xile6 - Are you using the LG camera from Froyo or the stock Android camera that came with the 2.3.3 update. They are not the same camera app, not even close.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
IF, they do it at all........

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xile6:
LG camera 3.0 The one that has zoom, 4 flash settings, and all the setting. Its nothing like the gb camera from my g2. So im guessing its the lg froyo camera. Been using it for a while and havent had any problems
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Try the LG Cam from the 2.3.4 build ported from the O2X. That one might work better, I don't know. I haven't tried; I use HDR Camera+.

So, it's default module in ICS isn't it?

that's mean we might be got this!

Yep, i was just wondering because CM7 doensn't have a 2.3 Kernel eather. Instead they are using a Froyo Kernel. Am I right?

[Acer Iconia A500] romagnus:
I totally killed my Acer tablet. The extended warranty company is refunding my money as it would be cheaper than fixing it.

My question is, should I stay with Acer or go for the Xoom? The mic on the Acer sucked, and I use it for college. It would be great to be able to record and take notes. I did love my Acer with a standard USB slot, the Xoom has a micro USB.

Any recommendations?(besides ipad)
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
1. Nobody here @ XDA is going to tell you to get an iPad, I promise :p

2. Wait a couple weeks. If you have extra money to spend, the new Tegra 3 devices are coming out, mainly the Asus Transformer Prime and later some unnamed Acer devices. Otherwise, the price is going to drop on all current Tegra 2 devices starting with black Friday / cyber Monday sales.

3. From my research, the Xoom and Iconia have almost identical specs, but the Iconia has the USB. If the mic presents a big problem, use a wired one and take the USB, IMHO. Especially for college, plugging in an inexpensive USB keyboard should be very helpful.

I haven't personally had much time with a Xoom, but I can't imagine anything could make it excel in enough ways to replace a full size USB (for me at least).

Good luck with your decision, hope I helped a bit.
[Acer Iconia A500] romagnus:
Thanks for the reply. I believe you are right, the zoom fails without a full USB. What kind of mic do I get? Is it a USB mic? I think I am going to stick with Acer. Its funny. The guys at the zoom forum dumped on the Acer. I reminded them they were the same specs. The full USB is awesome!

You have helped me see the light. I like Acer. Good laptops too.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jim M:
I like the a500 enough that I bought one for my wife, now we have 2.
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Glad I could help!

See my thread about the Iconia 3.5mm jack, turns out it doubles as a mic & speaker port, so you can buy a standard computer mic. Im looking at getting the mentioned splitter for a headset, but nor necessary for just a mic

What is a good rom for this tablet?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
This will depend on how "cooked" you want your rom.

For really cooked, you can try Taboonay or Honeyvillian. Both are good and used by many.

For a little less cooked, try Harkon or Lightspeed.

All of the afore mentioned have OC capability. You can also change out Kernels for a little better performance based on what you are looking for.

And for a really good one for the 500, goto www.tegraowners.com and try Thor's Roms or Kernels. Really sweet for the 500. He's the guy who put together the recovery for the 500/501, for without, we wouldn't have such an easy time flashing!!

Unfortunately, I run the 501, so mine has to have support for internal 3g, so choices are limited.
[Acer Iconia A500] romagnus:
Thanks for the link. That rom looks great. Now I need to go read how to flash a rom on my A500!
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
The Thinkpad tablet has a full size USB as well. Not sure about the keyboard but based on the Thinkpad track record, its likely better than the Acer one. If you want better bang for your buck though stick with the Iconia as it is quite a bit cheaper.
[Acer Iconia A500] romagnus:
Does that digital pen work with the a500? I would love that for university!
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Doubtful, I just tried using a digital pen from my cousins Asus tablet and didn't work at all. Looks like we're stuck with crappy capacitive styli. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] romagnus:
well I got the acer again. It came with 3.1 so I rooted it and am now running THOR's rom. Fantastic stuff, thanks for all the advice!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thors Kernels are the best!!!

As the Rom....
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Good move! I'm running Thor as well, totally happy with it. He's working pretty hard on an ICS build right now, can't wait!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The ICS rom is actually running quite well, but, it's not a daily driver. But it looks ok for an ASOP alpha and runs stable.

The real meat, will come when Acer/Samsung/Asus releases some ICS source for their new tabs. Like the a701. Like HW acceleration and Gpu acceleration.

Things will definitely be rocking!!!

And I'm betting Thor, will have the first rom.

Nobody uses auto brightness anymore. Uses too much battery :D

Rotation lock is only feasible if you're riding a roller coaster. :D

Hello guys,

I have read on a few online articles that Task Killers are bad for Android Phones, could you enlighten me on this please?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
in my opinion yes they are they interfere with android's built in task manager and dont SAVE battery life.They decrease battery life because they also kill cached apps.So if you kill an app that is in the background then it takes more cpu cycles and more time to open
[General Questions and Answers] biohaufen:
Well the Advanced Task Manager increased my batterie life. But only about a few hours !

[General Questions and Answers] Sourani:
When working with task killers, the user should know what to terminate, otherwise it will cause problems. Id choose not to use any.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Task killers can help, depending on how you use them.

But usually they are not configured right and interfere with the systems own task management system.

Because a few moments after the task killer killed something, the phone just started it again, which caused the lag.

Should have a large developer community

Good battery life

Preferably AOSP (or close, like CM) available

Sound should be good

Video playback should also be good, preferably, .avi files should work

Have a 10.1" screen

Money isn't really an issue, neithers is size/weight.

Any ideas? Which tablet and why?
