Best rom ever!!!!!

This is the fastest and most stable rom I have used on the g2x. It just plain works and well at that. Many thumbs way up!!!! :). The g2x community will miss you lotherius. Thanks for all the hard work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
I had battery overheat issues with cm7 as well... And once these batteries overheat they can be permanently damaged.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I managed to salvage it by the hotswap method, but 24 hours later the charge level is still wonky.

As far as this Rom.... it isn't *just* the phone causing me not to update, also not having a stable internet connection is part of the problem. I've burned through most of my 2GB in the week or so I've been using the phone to tether.

Once I get connectivity I might do a maintenance release, but major development probably not. Thought about going back to 2.3.3, but forgot how laggy that was compared to 2.3.4! Even if I were to go back to active development on this, I'm not sure what I could fix or change to make it better at this point (other than the network location patch)...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I agree there is not much more you can do on this. Whatever bugs exist, I think are hardware / base inherent. Maybe just make a NL update.zip for people and call it good. You've done great work here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TerryMathews:
This ROM, and jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Themed ROM seem to be the most polished and reliable ROMs for the G2x. They are probably as good as we will get until some more ICS support drops from either LG or nVidia.

You and jboxer should see if you could collaborate. It seems like each of your ROMs, while similar, do things a little differently and with different bugs. Maybe you guys could create the gold standard for GB ROMs. I know things got off on the wrong foot with the two of you, but you've both made stellar ROMs. Network Location and the reboot code making the phone not perform the requested operation (shut off on reboot, reboot on shutdown, etc) were the only real reasons I didn't stay with Tsugi.

Both of your ROMs are better than CM7 and that's saying something. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
Ditto to all thats been said. Sad to hear ya leaving, but Thank you So much for allowing myself and all of us G2x'ers the ability to have a really great working phone! (not perfect, but nothing ever is)Thank you for ALL your hard work on your development.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyhamada:
Sorry for the noob question but what is this for? I'm not sure what "network location" is. Is it related to GPS lock? Right now my GPS locks almost immediately.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. love this rom! Thanks so much lotherius!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
It's for getting coarse network location without GPS.

Examples: Geolocation in Beautiful Widgets or try to find your location in Maps with GPS off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
Thanks for the rom. It runs great or used to until I decided to try faux sv kernel. Now I get random reboots and sod. How do I go back to the stock kernel that originally came with the rom? It seems to have the best stability as it never rebooted or crashed on me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Unfortunately, reverting to the stock kernel is only possible with a full wipe. With the smart updater you will need to either run the g2x scrubber or manually format /system for it to flash the stock kernel. This is because the custom kernels convert the file system to ext4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monte666:
I just want to say thank-you for the rom and the support you give it. It is excellent it's the only one I don't get reboots on. If you ever make it to Utah look me up
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
You're welcome. Haven't been to Utah since 2003 or so and I lived in salt lake in the latest 90s.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Everything is great with this ROM. The only problem I am having is getting flash player updated. Keeps telling me that the package was not signed correctly. Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix for it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Should have been fixed in the last update... regardless ... the problem is due to version of flash included. You'll need to uninstall Flash player COMPLETELY, this includes the copy in /system/app/LibFlashPlayer.apk (you'll have to use root access to remove it). Once you've done that, reboot the phone and then you should be able to install Flash from the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Worked perfectly, thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I LG updater tooled to stock for the new baseband, then rooted by flashing xboarders stock (thx xboarder) I ran it for a few days but then came back to Tsugi. Lo if you leave im gonna track you down and kick you in the shin 10 times as hard as I can.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I don't know why but even after using the scrubber twice I have a few issues with stock kernel. Random data loss (even after removing 2g toggle switch) lag would occur going through gallery, little weird things and only getting 7 hours of battery life with only using two to three applications. I love the rom though so its a bummer. My only real question is, is there a way for the ICS animations to be flashed to a different 2.3.3 rom? :-) its gonna suck to see you leave though...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Thanks for your ROM man, it's really nice and runs perfectly fine.

One thing though, I like to make the system fonts smaller via Spare Parts. On CM7, making it smaller would stick. Meaning, even after rebooting and such it never reverts back and stays "smaller". But with this ROM it always reverts back to the stock size, usually after a reboot.

Obviously it's not a huge issue or anything, but I was wondering why I can't get it to stick with this ROM.

Thanks!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
The font size setting actually hasn't worked in stock android since like cupcake. Donut didn't even let you set that via spare parts even though the setting has always been there. It's because Spare Parts, AFAIK, hasn't been "officially" updated by Google since the very beginning. Any versions existant now are kangs of the Google code. I'm surprised it even changes at all, to be honest. CM7 has implemented framework changes to allow the setting to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
^^^ Ahh I see. Well that makes a lot of sense then. Thanks for clearing that up!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I believe it was due to part of the changes made by Google in response to a very early few apps that would muck around in your system and mess things up. Letting a userland app change your system fonts means any developer could just get a wild hair and screw up every app on the system. Which is why it's not allowed on stock android. Same with changing certain radio settings, gps, and turning data on and off. Programs would activate those features without user permission and cause battery issues, etc. With data, people would have their G1's overseas and think they'd turned data off but some app would "helpfully" turn it back on so the app could phone home, and the user would end up with hundreds or thousands of dollars in international data charges... Cupcake and Donut both had sweeping changes in app permissions that blocked a lot of things like that. Since Spare Parts was written when changing the font size was a non-root operation, it broke it when they changed the function. Same with end-key behavior, which is another setting in Spare Parts that broke. Apps would change button behavior without user permission, so they had to lock that down too. In Cyanogen, they can easily write it in such a way that spare parts has access to system level functions and user apps don't, since spare parts is signed with the system signature..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
That actually makes a lot of sense. I guess it's better off then not having all of those permissions. Thanks man!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pitflyer:
Anyone try Hulu Plus on this ROM? I have 2 LG G2X and I put this on one (have stock on other). Hulu Plus works fine on the stock one but on this ROM it never plays a video (it gets stuck on 'buffering' the first ad)

Other video apps seem to work -- like Netflix, Crackle, Sling Player, but just not Hulu Plus -- which I know is finicky but does work on stock ROM. You normally have to pay for Hulu Plus but LG owners can get three free months here:

https://secure2.prodregister.com/lge/lgLandingReg.aspx?promo=hulu2011

You can get the three months free directly (but you have to put a cc on file this way, just remember to cancel before your time is up)

http://www.hulu.com/plus/lg_offer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Thanks for the info about the free 3 months.

Bug confirmed. During loading of the first ad it displays a message about "Network Issues".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MattZTexasu:
unable to tether over USB

I'm using the 12-07 Tsugi and matching faux kernel. I was able to tether over USB 3 days ago on Friday. Now, it's Monday, and enabling the tether option causes the USB pitchfork to go away. The tether option becomes greyed out, and the it says "USB not connected" right underneath the word Tether.

About 60 secs later, the USB pitchfork shows back up without me having done anything, and the computer makes the noise like I just plugged the phone in again.

I backed up this rom, and flashed to a CM7 restore that I had. It tethered fine.

Anyone have a clue what this might be? I was really enjoying Tsugi; but this is a show stopper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Others have reported USB tether issues as well. I'm surprised it worked for you at all, I couldn't get it to work on mine. WiFi tethering works flawlessly, but obviously that's not USB. There are a number of issues that are due to the base Rom such as this one.

I have some ideas on a few of these issues, but nothing firm at this time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Have a test version baking on my phone for a post-Christmas update :) Thought I'd let you guys know it was upcoming.

I honestly would go ahead and post the files for folks to test, but I can't upload until I get to a real internet connection.

There will be TWO versions, actually.

One will have the standard load of apps that Tsugi has normally had, but the second will be an "LG Experience" version complete with LG Launcher and widgets.

Both versions will include the following updates:

Fixed:
network location issues
frozen android on startup

Added:
LG Keyboard that Doesn't Crash
Sony Bravia Engine

updated:
Theme: Hybrid Gingerbread/LG/Other
Flash Player, Google Maps, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup

removed:
Samsung Japanese IME

I spent a bit of time trying to make bluetooth more reliable, even trying some libraries from 2.3.3, and no dice. It's just gonna have to be the case that 2.3.4 isn't the Rom for people who depend on Bluetooth :(

However, I did get the LG Keyboard fully working and it will be included on both versions. It will not crash settings as it did before (yay)... This means, though, that anyone who has themed the Settings.apk will need to include the Classes.dex file from the new settings.apk in their theme, as the fix had to be made there.

EDIT: Had included a swap_sd script, but apparently I included the wrong file and it *didn't actually do anything* ... so I removed it for now...

Also, some pretty significant changes to the theme apply to BOTH versions. There will be a flashable zip for the old Tsugi theme.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Awesome cannot wait to try it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Very excited!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Alpha Class:
thank you for fixing up the network issues, didn't want to leave this rom :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sukhochir:
thank you man. When will get update
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
Read the first words of Lotherius's post four posts up and I think you have an answer ;-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
Wifi + mobile data ?!

Lately I have noticed that my phone (running the current pre-Xmas Tsugi and stock kernel) maintains an "E" or "4g" icon in the status bar even when connected to Wifi. I am sure this has happened before (once in a while) with other ROMs, so I am sure it is not Tsugi-specific. Any ideas about this?

The wifi connection is working. I can turn on airplane mode to disable to wireless radio and then connect to wifi and get data. The phone is working fine otherwise. Just wondering...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monte666:
A update you just made my day once again you kick ass and thank-you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Will be a bit longer as I found a couple of issues in testing and am out of town till New Year's. Was hoping to post the builds I made before leaving town but not reliable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sukhochir:
Tnks man
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beekersguy:
Can somebody post a link to the original boot animation? I installed a theme, and didn't back it up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beekersguy:
Thanks man! You just made my day!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
I'm using Tsugi with stock kernel and things are going very well. No more random crashes and the battery life is pretty solid.

The only question I have is: Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity on the proximity sensor? When I pull the phone away from my ear, it takes a good 30 seconds for the screen to pop back on. All calls must be ended by the other person because my screen doesn't come on in a timely fashion. (Thankfully I haven't had a reason to hang-up on anyone because I don't think I can! Haha) I know it is possible to adjust the key brightness via the hidden menu (which is what I do upon reboot) and there is something in there about the proximity sensor (Device Test >> ALC/Proximity Test: Check box for auto-brightness which is off by default), but it didn't do anything when I worked up the balls to check the box and see what happens. It reset after a reboot just like the key brightness does.

For full disclosure: The proximity sensor was slow to react before this ROM too.

It's not the end of the world, but I was just curious if there is a setting in this ROM that I don't know about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
+1. Good question. Like he said, it's not just this ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
My proximity sensor seems to work fine... a bit slow, but maybe 1 second, not 30 seconds. No change between this or any other ROMs either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
BTW, you can press the power button to turn the screen back on if it doesn't come on by itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
That's what I am forced to do in situations where someone calls while I am already talking to someone else or something, but it would be nice to have a proximity sensor that does it's job well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Agreed. I just wanted to mention that there is a workaround; it wasn't clear from your comment about not being able to hang up on someone that you knew about it.

My screen mostly turns on within a second or so after removing the phone from my ear; however, it does occasionally get stuck off and I need to use the power button to get the screen back. I don't know whether it's lighting conditions or gremlins in the software that makes the difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttxcsabby:
I found a bug.. Can't send an audio file thru mms. It force closes instantly everytime
[T-Mobile LG G2x] el0heem:
One time, this happened to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] el0heem:
...the next day... badass rom.

On another note. Wifi teathering possible only with other optional kernals? Or did I not do something right at install...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I've successfully WIFI tethered using this app: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I haven't attempted it via the settings menu. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] el0heem:
Tried like one other. Same notice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bowmanspeer:
Thought I was gonna give this ROM a try but could get passed the " touch android to begin". I touched the android and nothing happened. Sorry. Went to Bionix Reloaded. I still appreciate your hard work. Your doing something I don't know how to do. I tip my hat to you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Works fine for me with the built-in wifi tether.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kev0153:
Just ignore that message that pops up on the tether app. It is just a feature that isn't supported by the kernel. Tethering should work still.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] el0heem:
I didn't know there was a built-in wifi tether?

Also, i did as told, and ignored the tethering warning. The issue was, the SSID wasn't showing up on my tablet. I decided to look on my laptop and see if it was picking up a signal, and it was. my tablet is running Honeycomb 3.2.1, and i'm assuming it's something wrong on that end, or the way the tether is broadcasting that's making it show up with a different icon as all the routers
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Well I can't troubleshoot a 3rd party wifi app ;).... the built in wifi tether is located in Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering & Portable Hotspot->Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.

The USB tether doesn't work on 2.3.4, but the wireless works perfectly - I'm using it to write this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] el0heem:
SCORE! the second i turned it on, my tablet picked it up. thanks for the slap in the face :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Question.

Did you add tethering to your plan, or can T-mo not detect usage?

I'd rather use the built in method, but I don't want the tethering add-on to my plan.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I didn't add tethering, AND T-Mobile can detect usage - I received the "suggestion" that I add a tethering plan a few weeks ago.

After that, I changed my Firefox User Agent to clone an Android browser - and haven't received any warnings since. No guarantee that they still won't detect it again though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
USB Tethering works perfectly for me with tsugi and stock kernel. I am using Ubuntu Linux 11.10 which detects a wired data connection immediately. I haven't tried with windoze.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
You have to run the g2x scrubber for it to run.

Anyone know how to change this rom to ext 4?

Nvidia always!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Flash a compatible kernel that updates to ext4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Of all the things to be holding up an update..... For some reason my test builds are installing with "2G Networks Only" enabled by default and I can't figure out why. It's easy enough to untick the option, but I'm sure it would confuse lots of folks who would believe they have no 3g/4g....

EDIT: Previous problem was due to my following advice sent to me by someone in a PM about a "well known" GPS tweak that turned out to NOT be a GPS tweak but rather the way to change the default 2g/3g settings in build.prop... goes to show you shouldn't blindly change things in build.prop without knowing what they actually do.

Also was having frequent random reboots during sleep, may have been related to the LG stuff as I was running some LG stuff... back to vanilla and hoping random reboots stay away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Girn:
my dad is getting sod with your stock voltage kernel. Any solutions??

And also superuser keeps saying radio has been denied permissions.. I don't know how to fix that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] symple:
I know there's a way to make the fonts color on the notification screen visible instead of black when using Miui ROMS; my question is how can this be accomplished on this one.

Screen shot attached
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to change the notification background color without editing your theme. It has to do with some programs that (stupidly) force their own colors for the notifcation text rather than using system colors.

Ack, okay, easy enough fix for that... AFTER flashing the update, open a text field and change Input Method to Android Keyboard. Apparently the having the LG Keyboard enabled is what's crashing Language & Settings.

If you want to use the LG Keyboard, apparently you'll have to access its settings through the keyboard itself rather than the menu. I'll probably remove the LG Keyboard completely in the next build if I can't fix this for good.

But again, as a fix, just change your keyboard away from the LG Keyboard to the Android keyboard from a text field (long press and select input method) and then you'll be able to get to the menu and turn on haptic feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] symple:
Thanks for the quik response. . . I'll see what can be done. . . :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] huyaroo:
The update didn't seem to work for me. Same issues still apply.

FYI, I flashed this ROM from EaglesBlood. No kernel updates as far as I know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
no go for me still, no haptic feedback at all. I dont even get vibrates for text or phone calls.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Charlie Brown:
Same . Update didn't work for me either. Going to try again and maybe wiping dalvik might help.

Actually I am going to reflash but with 11 23 instead of 11 22.

PS. Is there no haptic feedback for the LEDs? Also will there be a fix for them being so dim?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Update on issues (so sorry guys!)

1) The full 11-23 has full brightness on LED's. That's considered fixed unless you use the updater, where it's not. From now on, there will be full LED brightness.

2) Haptic Feedback - I FINALLY had this happen to me... every install I've done yet I had full Haptic feedback, and just now I reflashed back to 11-23 full and lost haptic feedback. Don't know why but certainly on the topic. It is not related to LED brightness.

3) Settings Force Close on Language & Keyboard - due to LG Keyboard. If you switch your input method to another keyboard via long-press in a text field it will no longer force close on settings. The updater adds back Gingerbread Keyboard & fixes Swype so you can do this.

I suggest everyone just really not keep trying to reflash/wipe until I figure this out and post an update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Charlie Brown:
Don't apologize.

Because I and I am sure all of us here greatly appreciate your efforts!!!

The ROM is pretty smooth and fast. These are minor issues. And yeah I agree with one user.... the LG keyboard RULES!!! I have a hard time finding such a nice keyboard that has Greek.

I'll sit tight for your fixes. And again, thanks Lotherius for your work!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Good to know! I'm a bit of a perfectionist.... maybe it wasn't obvious :P...

As far as the LG Keyboard - I was trying to use the version from the latest 2X update. I have found that the version from the Optimus One does appear to work (got it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175651) and still allows multiple languages. Multi-lingual support is something I LIKE since I'm a linguist (by education/interest not trade). I just wish I could find a good multi-lingual keyboard that also supports Japanese. The Samsung one I linked to on Baka works is OK but I wouldn't want it as my main keyboard. The LG keyboard supports 3 forms of Chinese, but not Japanese. Glad you found that it DID support Greek!

I've even been experimenting with porting in more locales, but apparently you have to be able to edit a vender-locked proprietary file to do that, and I don't think anyone's cracked that code. You can add the locale support to files, but actually making it a system option is not possible if you don't have an international ROM to use. Still learning on that.

EDIT: The LG Keyboard MIGHT have actually been stopping haptic vibration... not sure how. But I promise I'll FULLY test everything before running the next version by you guys. I want to put out a fix sooner rather than later, but I want it to be right so your titanium back can have a rest.

EDIT 2: Looks like the best way to prevent re-ocurrance of some of these issues will be to make the next version a full wipe update. So, I'm trying to pack everything in that I can and fully test FULLY with multiple wipes.

And, for your patience, the new boot animation is attached. To actually use it before the next update, you'll need to use ROOT explorer (or similar with root permissions) and replace the file in /system/media/ with the one here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Charlie Brown:
Sweet . A full wipe version would be best . And thanks again!
