If I may, post a bug... and this is weird as I have been doing roms for my galaxy tab, and don't have time to dive into a new device to help out...

100% of the time, when I wake the phone with power button, then slide the unlock, the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery. Haven't had the back cover on for 2 days LOL.

I could drop honeycomb work on my tab (still deciding on springboard or tab+ ) and learn the GSM devices to help out with this phone I hate so much.

I have the worst coverage, tmo states I'm in a "moderate" area, I'll take moderate, as this phone gets zero coverage, however, your rom does actually improve it a little, takes less time to get a signal between calls.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Man, there's no way I'd stick with a ROM if your issue was the case.

I'd follow the instructions I just posted above and report back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
That is interesting. It seems all downloads are blocked. I noticed when trying to download the updates to this ROM from multi upload! Could the ad block be the cause?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lowgo:
Thank you. I really like this ROM in every other way except bluetooth. I hope it's a fixable issue.

Just for kicks, I installed jboxer's version of 2.3.4 to test. It appears to not have the pairing issue, as I'm able to pair every bluetooth device I tried. However, it has the same freezing issue when it makes a connection on a voice dialing call!

On another note, I don't know what jboxer used with GPS, but his ROM has the most amazingly fast GPS connection I have seen on this phone! I get a lock in a matter of seconds, even inside my house. I've never seen that before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Actually, the first response has the hint. Android by default has always refused to download any file it doesn't know what to do with, that is, if there is no registered app to handle the file. For some reason this has always included APK files. Astro will register itself for APK files, as do many 3rd party browsers. I personally use Boat Browser, and as soon as the browser is installed, files will download correctly. The adblocking is not causing the download issue. However, if the consensus is to remove the adblock host file, I will do so. Honestly forgot it was even in there!

Interesting observation... I haven't intentionally changed anything with bluetooth, but will definitely review if any other changes had unintended consequences. The problem that I had initially with force close on pairing was resolve,d and I didn't realize people were still having pairing issues. The only one I was aware of was the screen going black sometimes during a bluetooth call.

Regardless, I think Bluetooth is on the agenda to be "looked at" this weekend. I don't have a car kit to test, but I have a PC bluetooth, a plantronics normal headset, and an a2dp headset..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
I know this seems trivial with the issues currently arising... lol

But, just thought I would chime in on the Colorized theme Update. It is a MAJOR update. Pretty much finished, just a few minor additions to come. But I have added about an additional 250 images. (you wont actually seeee them all of course) But that would include changes to the phone.apk and contacts.apk. More Info on the thread :D

Sending you some cashola too lotherius :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oldmacnut:
Yeah, i did scrub the phone. Wiping, nuking or otherwise formatting everything does not bother me, yeah, its a pain to type my email and password to recover contacts, but it takes only seconds.

I like your scrubbing program, pretty good job there, and the automated wipe/no wipe thing, pretty slick.

I was having massive BT issues, i had to flash **7 (god i hate that clan) so i could make some calls today, and wouldnt you know it, their rom has bt issues as well, like how it goes to speakerphone instead of bt.

I like your rom, clean, simple. I hate bloat, I sooo hate bloated roms, so, do your thing, and of course ill be checking back for revisions as you release them.

Good job, this stuff aint easy to do, or it takes an insane amount of time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I feel for you, man. Thing is, you're the only one who's reported issues as bad as that.

BT is working fine for me with the one thing I've paired it with.

A BT stereo FM transmitter for my car radio.

I've listened to music as well as made several calls using it.

The buttons on the transmitter even work to control the G2X (end call, play/pause, skip track, etc.).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Well, I will admit to having seen the screen freeze once on my bluetooth as well, so I know the issue exists...

Funny thing is, I saw over in siulmagic's MIUI thread discussion about the mount/unmount sdcard reboot issue, they thought it was an MIUI issue only.

I think, honestly, that we're hitting up against hardware flaws on all corners here when you see problems that span across multiple roms that use different hardware, and then sometimes only happen to certain users.

Not that I'm not going to look for possible other causes, though. I just think there is an underlying instability that's more unstable on some chips than others. I've only seen the sdcard reboot issue *once* on my phone and I couldn't reproduce it - but it happens to others all the time. Same with bluetooth - I've only had the "blue(tooth) screen of death" once, but others have it all the time.

Since I apparently have a fine specimen of a G2X that behaves most of the time, it makes it hard to t/s issues that seem to hit the misbehaving ones more often. It's also why I put up with the 2 huge scratches I have on the screen instead of coming up with a reason to exchange it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sukhochir:
You can use firefox browser, it's no issues downloading
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
Download issue fixed by using ASTRO. Thanks.

>On another note, I don't know what jboxer used with GPS, but his ROM has >the most amazingly fast GPS connection I have seen on this phone! I get a lock in a >matter of seconds, even inside my house. I've never seen that before.

Ditto with xboarder's 2.3.3. I should try Jboxer's 2.3.4. J, can you suggest any way to improve this? I use GPS extensively when travelling and it takes a good 5 minutes sometimes to get a lock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I believe it's stock GPS from 2.3.4 :)

Gps on these phones depend on data, time accuracy and network latency all being fully in sync. That's why the quality of your GPS connection varies so greatly by where you are and how good your cell connection is. For me, the regional config worked better. But a look at the GPS forums shows it varies wildy from person to person and phone to phone.

bluetooth status update

Pulled out the bluetooth headset and struggled with it for a while....

Here are the issues I confirmed:

1) Made several calls, and of these, none gave me the bluetooth screen of death, but after unpairing the phone did freeze on me when I tried to unlock the screen, which it does not normally do.

2) If I paired the headset, it successfully paired and connected every time. However, if I disconnected the headset and tried to reconnect it again, it would fail connecting, and I would have to reboot the phone.

3) Sometimes when rebooting the phone, it would lose the paired bluetooth profile and I would have to re-pair.

I took logs of all of it, but do not say any obvious indicators of a cause. I am using the Stock kernel for this testing, so it is not a kernel change issue. The next two steps I'm going to do to confirm if this is a fixable issue are: 1) Try the Oyasumi kernel and see if it happens with that kernel, and then if it does, 2) Try the initial L-95G port to see if I can reproduce problems there.

If it turns out the Oyasumi kernel doesn't fix the issue, and I can confirm the issue is present in the L-95G port I will have to mark bluetooth as "not fixable". I know it is a key feature a lot of you are hoping to work better, but there are limits to what we can do.

I *may* if I have the time (hopefully a new job soon) go ahead and bring BakaG2X up to part with some of the other changes, for those who need functionality that works better in that Rom. Though neither the 2.3.3 codebase or 2.3.4 codebases are perfect, and that's what we're dealing with.

EDIT: Update - Tested with Oyasumi and it turns out that the bluetooth audio is *clearer* and I was able to successfully disconnect/reconnect the bluetooth device without having to reboot the phone. Unfortunately it *STILL* froze when I tried to unlock the screen after making a bluetooth call.

Update with Stock LG L-95G software probably in about 30 minutes to see if I can confirm these issues exist there or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Wow I've been busy so I haven't been here in a few days and a lots been going on! I haven't finished reading yet but I figured I'd respond to this because one because I had the same problem on my niece's phone. We bought her a G2X for Xmas so I decided to flash this rom (it was the only choice IMO) and I downloaded the 12-6 rom straight to the phone as soon as I finished doing the nvflash. I had the same thing happen when I got to the green android guy I couldn't touch him or do anything. I just assumed it was a bad download cause at the time I had 12-6 and it went without a hitch, so I downloaded 12-7 and flashed it to her phone and everything works great. I'm not expecting an answer cause I haven't read farther than this so for all I know its been fixed, but I flashed it to a phone that came straight out of the box and had the same thing happen just so ya know.. Anyway I do have a question if someone wouldn't mind helpin me because it's always been confusing to me..Is there anyway to make my external 16gig the "SD" card, instead of the 5 gigs the phone has on this rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
If you use a Cyanogen 7 based Rom, then the sd cards are swapped and your larger external would appear as the internal.

I dabbled in switching it on the stock Rom, and the farthest I got was the external appearing as internal but the internal disappeared completely ;).. I'm sure it could be done, but I didn't spend a lot of effort. Oh, and switching it does require some knowledge of kernel hacking... so I wouldn't recommend you try to do it on a stock Rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Bluetooth Status Update:

Just confirmed that issues exit in JBoxer's port as well, which indicate this is an underlying issue that is likely to not be easily solved. On his port, the first bluetooth call succeeded, but the second, which I initialized with a voice command, the phone did not want to wake while on the call. Finally the screen woke but would not respond once it work. The following message was all I could find relevant in the log:

I/InputDispatcher( 1120): Dropped event because input dispatch is disabled.
I/InputDispatcher( 1120): Dropped event because input dispatch is disabled.
I/InputDispatcher( 1120): Dropped event because input dispatch is disabled.
I/InputDispatcher( 1120): Dropped event because input dispatch is disabled.
I/InputDispatcher( 1120): Dropped event because input dispatch is disabled.

So at this point I'm putting Bluetooth issues on the "Not likely to be fixed" list. I hate to do it, but it looks less and less promising.

If you have fully working bluetooth, it probably has to do with your device and how it interacts with the phone. Unfortunately I've reproduced it with different kernels, and even different ports.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lowgo:
These phones can certainly be confusing. I'm not certain that it's hardware though, but more a combination of the programs on the phone and the BT devices used.

Just for kicks (again, since I never figured it would work) I installed the new release of Eagleblood 2.3.7 on my phone. Being a 2.3.7 ROM, I expected the usual problems I've had with every one I've tried. To my surprise though, everything I've tested so far is working flawlessly. BT pairs and functions properly with my earpiece and my car. Voice dialing works and the phone doesn't lock. Visual Voicemail syncs properly. GPS is above average (not what I saw with jboxer's 2.3.4 ROM, but not bad). Wifi calling works. It's kinda scary actually, I'm having trouble finding anything that doesn't work! :eek:

I really appreciate your efforts on this ROM though. If it hadn't been for you putting this out, I probably wouldn't have tried any ROMs above 2.3.3, as non had ever worked for me before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
This is what it's all about. As you say, you might not have tried anything beyond stock 2.3.3, and I'm glad you did. I'm certainly glad that there's a version of CM7 receiving attention - something we've been lacking for recently. Really, that's what this is all about is exploring, tweaking, and finding what works best.

---------------

That said... for those of you still using Tsugi, I've tweaked the Bloater repository a little and added a new section "LG Apps".

Currently there are 4 there:

1. LG World (LG's equivalent to HTC Hub). Sounds like bloat, but actually, it is useful for the RINGTONE section if nothing else, where LG themselves have posted a large number of high-quality ringtones. They have a wallpapers section too... Oh and of course they have apps.

2) LG Home Selector. It's been installed on Tsugi since the start, but it could be seen as bloat. So it's in Bloater to make it easy to remove (or add back). This app is actually from the P990 Roms.

3) LG Application Manager. A nice little app manager that shows running apps and allows you to kill them, as well as uninstall apps. Similar to the Settings->Applications screen, but simpler and easier to use. It's an official LG app.

4) LG Voice Memo. An official LG app that is a slicker alternative to the Sound Recorder. Lets you record and manage voice memos. I might actually use this on my own phone.

In the future, I plan on adding an LG apps to this section on Bloater, including possibly apps ported from the P990 or other LG devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Great ROM thanks for all your hard work... I am having problems with the wifi disconnecting when. the screen turns off and sits for a while

i have tried all of the settings I can think of.. .

When I chick the power button, the phone has because disconcerted, and then Quickly goes and connects....as if it has been Smoking a cigarette on break, and comes back inside to work

I have wifi set to Always on

Any suggestions for a more Stable all day long Wifi connection?

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Little less frequent updates for a bit as I am now dependent on T-Mobile completely for my internet access. We all know how flaky that can be plus I don't want to burn too quickly through my 2gb cap. Of course, I'm really not sure how it could be any slower than it already is unless they just shut it off completely.

Still going to be tweaking if I can find anything else fixable but wont be able to upload as much
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
my wifi calling went from working to not working literally overnight

trying to figure out if its a rom problem, APN or related to my wifi

also noticed that i had 3 different APNs, two from tmbile and one from simple mobile. tried both tmobile apns and still didnt get wifi calling to work.

anybody else experiencing this issue all of a sudden or know how to fix it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I have an issue on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 roms where my wifi (not sure about "calling" I dont use it) just slows down horribly, randomly to below data speeds. I get about 14mps at home on wifi. Sometimes it slows to .06mps. Its not my wifi, if done side by side with my other phones and its just my g2x that slows. Strangely it does not happen on cm7 roms. However I dont know if its a rom or phone issue. But it only happens on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 roms. Perhaps your having the same issue?

When it accurs again run a speedtest and make sure your wifi is actually working.

It happens at random with me, but often.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
There's a wifi calling outage going on now.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I get this too, never gave it much thought though. I'll have to do a test next time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
good to know, Thanks.

Wish i had been a little patient instead of wiping and flashing new roms to see if it would work on them.

Would have been logical of tmobile to send a text message to its customers with a heads up
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
a bug/glitch ive been getting for a few days now

whenever i shut down the phone from the power button menu, it only shuts down about half the time, the other times it restarts the phone.

anyone else with this issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
This is an on-going issue that should have been resolved with version 12-07. Which one are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
I'm on 12.7 I assume it has to do with him removing the reboot/recovery from the menu
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
That was supposed to fix the problem.

Edit: figured I would give the power a test and it rebooted each test instead of powering off. Tested 7 times. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Have made several attempts to remedy this, not all very successful. Seems like even the stock code does it. Did you wipe when you upgraded to 12-7 or do the no-wipe update? Sometimes if you didn't wipe this problem remains :(... Or it may have come back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
no-wiped but i actually didnt have this problem on the 11-23 release when you first included the reboot/recovery options in the power menu
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
This problem tends to appear randomly. Something in the shutdown process fails and causes the phone to crash before finishing the shutdown, which triggers a reboot. It happens without the power menu as well and appears to be an underlying issue in the 2.3.4 build itself. Sometimes the problem appears and sometimes it doesn't, which meant I spent a lot of time just trying to reproduce the problem, and then several times when I thought I'd fixed it it came back later unaffected by anything I did. Doing a wipe seems to make the problem go away, at least for a while.

This issue, the bluetooth instability, and USB mounting crashes have taken up most of my time on this rom and really are still where they started. I have the exact same code changes on Baka and it doesn't exhibit these problems.

I still think 2.3.4 is faster and more stable in some cases, but I am at a wall in fixing those issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
You know, I've been using this pretty much since it came out and I haven't said a damn thing about it. :p

Thanks for your work on this lotherius! I'm not sure why, but I guess I got tired of CM7/old Eaglesblood(haven't tried the new one) and this popped up. I missed flashing roms and this with it's updates treated that, haha.

It's a great rom and I'm glad we can have a "stock" 2.3.4 :D... I am experiencing the Power Off reboots, but I don't mind. I'm usually rebooting my phone anyways and forget it's just "Power Off" there.

I do miss my JuiceDefender and I'm too lazy to tinker with the Toggle2G, haha but it's ok.

Daily!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
I just noticed as I plugged my phone in to charge for the night that I only used 37% of my power over a 16 hour day. Light use, for sure, but still, I made a few calls on bluetooth, played some music, watched a few videos on youtube, etc...

No shutdown or bluetooth issues for me, by the way stock kernel and latest Tsugi.

thanks again, L
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Yea I will say, battery life on this rom is Badass! =)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LurkerRWO:
OP says to post about this so here it is:

I am stuck on the 'touch android to continue' screen. I flashed G2XSCRUBBER before hand. On install, it said that this would leave me with no rom but when installing Tsugi it said incompatible rom and then formatted the directories that the scrubber had just wiped. Not sure if important, but there it is. I have cwm 5.x and flashed from the internal SD, coming from cyanogenmod kang 12/5.

I'll reflash and try again.

Forgot to mention I also had the radio denied superuser and the .media.x FC. I know those are known issues but thought they might be of note.

Edit: Logcat says cannot continue because it is waiting for GLS. should I copy it here?

Edit2: Can't get logcat to output but the exact message in the logcat is "Not continuing because we're waiting for GLS to finish clearing the old accounts"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I had the exact same thing happen. Another scrub and flash fixed it.

EDIT: Added this ROM to the sticky per your request, Lotherius.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rldev:
I followed all directions for this rom(scrubber, etc). I seem unable to get hspa data even though the 4g icon appears. I am unable to connect to google sign or market unless I am on wifi. Could there be something wrong with my baseband? I'm running the LG 7/15 update. I had this same problem with the latest Eaglesblood. I am able to see the APNs, but when I search for Network, it errors out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Does Network Location work for anyone? I haven't had it available for a few days now. GPS works OK.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] epicsquare:
Does anyone here use juice defender? I used to use it but it just says Data * Error with this ROM. Any other way to disable data when the screen goes off?

While data is on my battery last for about 5 hours form 100 to 0. It's unusable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Me and overgrounds had this conversation before. You turn off the data toggling from jd, enable the 2g/3g app lotherius' added. I use jd for auto wifi and the other 100 options that come with ultimate. If you have just the free version, their might be some other options in their you can configure .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Well, I got Network Location working (at least in Maps...can't test others yet because it had me locked in the location I'm currently in).

Push this NetworkLocation.apk from Stock 2.3.3 to /system/app in recovery or using Root Explorer.

Commands for recovery:

adb shell mount /system
adb push <path to>NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/

Reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
I must say that after about 2 weeks of running this rom, (12-1 update) with heavy use of everything wifi, GPS, web, texting, emails on the daily, this rom is still AMAZING! no Reboots, FC, shutdown thingymajiggy lol, or any abnormal behavior, Super fast initial boot, transitions etc. and no dip in gps functionality! (which saved my a$$ in Florida getting me to the airport!), Seattle, and now in Hawaii, still getting much faster locks that i could not get on other roms, (not as fast as others phones but still MUCH better and consistent) battery life still unbeatable. and again, everything working!! Thanks again Lotherius for my new daily!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Glad to hear it is working for most of you. Having issues with my phone, looks like the stock battery overheated and is acting weird. I actually had to hot swap a different battery in just to get the stock one to boot and then it was showing 100% charged at less than 3500mv. Not this rom at fault tho I was running cm7 at the time. Looks like the battery is toast, glad I have the 3500mah as a backup. But this on top of other problems with the phone and I am starting to get fed up. So I'm not sure when or if I'm going to do any more updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
That's sad to hear. Thanks for all your work.

EDIT: Upon thinking about it, replacing that NetworkLocation.apk in the ROM BEFORE flashing will probably fix those GLS issues with the sign in screen.
