[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
FAQ / KNOWN ISSUES / TROUBLESHOOTING

READ THIS BEFORE POSTING THAT SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED!

I didn't want to put this at the top, but I guess I have to.

IF YOU ARE USING ONE OF THE ADDON OVERCLOCKING KERNELS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PHONE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE, CRASH, REBOOT, OR TAKE OVER THE GALAXY AS OUR NEW ANDROID OVERLORD.

It may look like there are MORE known issues with this Rom than there are with others. I don't believe there are. The difference is, I'm open and honest about every flaw I know of, whether I think it is due to the quality of my own work, or is a pre-existing issue with the LG firmware or even hardware. You shouldn't have to "just know" about certain problems. So I'm very clear about any known issues. Many of these issues exist in other LG Roms as well, they just are not documented.

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

-- TIPS --

If you have any problems installing the Rom, wipe the system completely by flashing G2XScrubber from Post #3 and then flash the Rom again. This applies especially if coming from any other 2.3.4 Rom other than Tsugi (Such as Jboxer's Roms) since they have a different kernel than I use.

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

-- DOWNLOADER TRICKS--

1: I flashed this Rom and it won't boot/bootloops/loads but everything is messed up!

Make sure you actually downloaded the correct file. Only the CORE DOWNLOAD is a full Rom. You may not, cannot, and will regret, if you use an Updater on any other Rom. If you are still having trouble flashing, use the G2XScrubber from post #3 first. It will format your system, cache and data partitions pre-wipe to make sure there are no leftovers from an older Rom.

2: I flashed the Rom, and now my themes are gone!

By "No-Wipe" in this case, it *does* wipe the /system/ partition which is where your themes and boot animations are loaded. Your data partition, however, is safe. You will need to reinstall any themes or SYSTEM Add-Ons that you installed in CWM or with Root access.

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

-- BROKEN STUFF --

1: I get reboots when mounting/unmounting my SD Card.

This appears to be an issue in the underlying LG code which I have not found the cause for at this time. It does not affect all users, so it may have to do with individual SD Cards. If you are having this problem, try formatting both your internal and external SD Cards. I don't know if that will fix it, though, as I personally don't have the problem.

2: I get a SOD or Crash while using Bluetooth.

Again, it appears to be an underlying LG Issue. I've made a little progress, but still haven't solved the issue.

3: My phone randomly reboots.

Appears that there may still be some LG issues with that. My phone doesn't do it, but some do. If you're using the Under Volted kernel, then try the Stock Voltage one. Hope for a bug-free ICS release. See Broken Stuff #1 also. Use the stock kernel if all else fails.

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

-- KNOWN ISSUES --

1: A popup says "radio was denied root permissions" when I boot my phone!!!!

Run the Toggle2G app. Approve root permissions. If you don't want the Toggle2G app, you can remove it using Bloater, which is pre-installed. You didn't uninstall Bloater, did you?

2: The Reboot and Recovery options are missing.

These 2 items have been temporarily removed from the Power Menu until I can further troubleshoot issues people were having getting the phone to actually, you know, shut off. For now, use the included 2XReboot app if you need to easily reboot into recovery. But really, with Rom Manager updates now, you shouldn't need to!

3: I got a force close from the Media process on first bootup!

This is due to a corrupt file or thumbnail on your memory card. It will only happen on the first bootup, but if it really bugs you you'll have to remove the corrupt file from your memory card. Most of the time it's a thumbnail. This bug also exists on stock LG Roms, it isn't a Tsugi issue.

4: I flashed Faux123 or DragonG2X or some other kernel and it doesn't work right! Y U NO MAKE IT WORK?

Actually... ..... download Oyasumi - the 2.3.4 overclocking Kernel from Post #3 - and you'll be all set. Oyasumi is essentially Faux123 1.3 recompiled and packed with init scripts for 2.3.4. So you should expect the same performance - and issues - of Faux123 v1.3. That said, I cannot and will not troubleshoot crash/freeze/reboot/SOD issues with any kernel other than the one that comes in the core ROM.

5: I don't want WiFi Calling.

Then delete /system/app/kineto.apk with root explorer. If you do you're going to get force closes immediately, but just pull battery and restart, and it will all be good. There is some debate over whether or not the libraries that support it use battery. I don't think they do, but Kineto.apk sure does. Soon you'll be able to remove it using the Bloater app.

6: My GPS is screwy. Again.

Lol, so is mine. But seriously, folks... This includes the best GPS fix I could find and it works for me and many others. It's still not where I'd say I'm "pleased" with it, but it has gotten me out of pinches. That said, it is tuned for the central USA. If you are in Europe or Uzbekistan or Atlantis, then you might need to redo your gps.conf with some local servers. That's something the factory normally does for you when it targets the market to sell a phone to.

7: I don't like the boot animation.

Instead of messaging me privately with your feelings about how the boot animation threatens your masculinity, learn to change it yourself. For those who don't feel threatened by it, it's actually a reference to a character named Kyuube from the anime Madoka Magica. And, once you get to know the character, he's the anti-cute.

What? Your issue isn't one of those above? Congratulations, you might have a reason to gripe/complain/compliment! Go for it!
