OK well I've been using this rom for a couple of days now so I figured I'd post my review so far. Please bare with me because its extensive and extremely comprehensive...I no longer see the need to ever use any another rom besides this one. The End. LOL Seriously though this is the first time since I've owned my g2x (got it on launch day) that it actually feels like a dual core phone. I definitely mean no disrespect to any developers because I truly appretiate all of the work they do for us because we wouldn't have any of this without them. That being said this rom is literally leaps and bounds ahead of any rom I've tried so far (with my phone anyway I know everyone is different). When I say that I'm obviously talking about speed and stability, and as far as features it's also comparable with the rest imo. Anyway just had to say thanks for this because you've just become my favorite Dev, and possibly my new best friend as well! LOL Just wanted to add that I have not even tried the overclocking kernels yet either. It just runs so smooth and fast I don't even feel the need to anymore. I can't really comment on the battery though because I run my screen at Max brightness and I don't use juice defender or anything. I've seen some comments stating 12 hours or more with heavy use, but I'd like to know what settings are being used so I could try to compare. I've pretty much always had lousy battery life but I've just considered it my fault because I run the hell out of it. I'm always by a charger and have one in my car though so I never really worried about it. I'd appretiate any suggestions (other than dim the screen and don't use live wallpapers LOL) Anyway you're my hero Dev because I finally feel like I got my moneys worth with this phone! If I wouldn't have got raked over the coals by my ex in a recent divorce, I'd definitely donate to ya. I will though whenever I can and if you need a guinea pig let me know because I'm fearless with this thing and I'll try anything on it if needed. Thanks again!!! : D

The version I had out prior was for 11-25. I believe inbetween that and 11-28 you did a few tweaks. Thats why. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
(EDIT 2)

Okay, I've been struggling all day with how to handle the multiple kernel versions that are out there and still allow a no-wipe upgrade.. the problem is if you're running the Oyasumi kernel you cannot downgrade to Stock kernel without a wipe due to the Oyasumi kernels using EXT4 which is not supported by Stock, and I don't want to force everyone into the Oyasumi kernel...

Here's the options:

1) THIS IS WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW: Updater script will become a complex beast that actually detects and preserves the current kernel you have installed, detects if you have Tsugi installed already and does a no-wipe if you do, and wipes and installs a new kernel if you are coming from a different Rom. I don't think I've ever seen an updater-script that does all this, so I'm having to write the new bits from scratch from sparse documentation of features nobody uses (lol?)

2) THIS IS PLAN B: Have all upgrade versions include Oyasumi by default, since it is compatible with both ext3 and ext4.

3) THIS IS PLAN C: Completely do away with the stock kernel.

4) THIS IS PLAN D: Completely do away with no-wipe upgrades.

Plan 1 is obviously the best... but as I said, I'm having to write a beast of an updater script. It will allow, though, for a SINGLE upgrade zip that wipes if necessary, doesn't wipe if not necessary, and preserves the kernel you already have installed, even if the kernel has yet to be invented. The only issue with Plan 1 is that it does not offer a way to flash a stock kernel if you are already running a non-stock one. That is asking too much of poor edify scripting to *make choices* like that....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
As long as my battery life doesn't suffer then this rom could include pictures of shaved cows eating popcorn with hamsters..... yea, I don't know lol.

Is there a way to disable the crt off animation? I personally can NOT stand it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdviper:
Just brought an used G2X, coming from an Sensation, actually using this and sensation on and off, but I wanna keep this rom stock as possible, how can I revert back to the stock icons, notification dropdowns and everything? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
Lotherius, I do not think you are right about the update script and kernels. My no wipe update script failed due to wifi and charging errors. I have never flashed an oc kernel. Since flashing beta 3, I have only flashed your updates, your LG cameras, and touch key dimmer zips. Never tried the alternate kernels.

I wonder if the others whose no wipe updates failed were using stock or oc kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mannyg78:
I keep getting fc when I click on language and keyboard under settings
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
@mannyg78: language and keyboard is working fine for me on a fresh install of the tsugi 12-1 full install / stock kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdviper:
I've tried changing the stock icons with UOT kitchen and they don't have the stock gingerbread battery icon without the god dame percentage mod.

lotherius, can you please post one with the stock icons, 4G, battery, wifi etc, and without all the blue shadows and all that. I like your rom but damn those things are really killing me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
If you have flashed the LG keyboard then this is a known issue that is documented clearly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
I had my phone reboot in the middle of a phone call. Although this has never happened before (using stock gb, xboarders tweaked, or weapon), it probably is a phone issue, not a tsugi issue. Anyone else experience this?

* Using tsugi 12/1 with stock kernel. * Toggle2g was off.

* Call was over mobile network, not wifi.

* phone did not seem to overheat at all.

* battery was about 70%
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theonetruecoco:
This theme rocks!!

Works flawlessly as does the rom.

Great work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Hard to say. Were you using bluetooth at the time?

I'm still ironing out a few issues, but I think we're getting down to some of these issues that are either hardware itself, or are deep in the Rom itself and difficult if impossible to fix.

At this point, I'm mostly trying to iron out what can and can't be fixed, fix what I can, and not introduce any more instability. That's why I'm not porting in more lock panels, more options, etc.

As far as those asking for themes (yes I know this is unrelated to what I quoted), I don't plan to make any more themes myself, and that includes a "totally stock" theme. Nor do I plan to remove the boot animation even though at least one user has told me privately that it threatens his manhood (in fewer words)... He simply does not understand Kyuube.

And to those of you who have donated, thank you! It takes more hours than many realize to make even minor modifications, and knowing that it is appreciated means a lot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I did have a single reboot so far that I haven't been able to reproduce involving the USB - and it happened while I had an audio cable plugged into the earphone jack... very specific circumstance. The only other random issue like these I've had was a SOD upon connecting a bluetooth call. The call continued but I could not access the phone. Makes me think there's an issue with audio routing somewhere...

I haven't made any modifications to audio routing/bluetooth/headseat/usb code. However, sometimes a change can affect things you don't expect. Normally something shows up in the logcat, but actually *getting* the logcat can be a challenge if the issue is difficult to reproduce or you don't know the conditions with which to reproduce it.

As far as the update issues before, I am positive that the wireless would have broken if you flashed the updater on top of one of the OC kernels, as the wireless.ko file is different for each kernel and I didn't take that into account on the updater. Why it would have had issues if you were using a stock kernel, I'm not sure. Regardless, I'm working on a script that should do a much more seamless upgrade process next time, and allow a SINGLE updater. I have already flashed it successfully a couple of times on my own phone, but I need to put it through some different update scenarios. It auto-detects if you are using Tsugi first.. It does a wipe if you are not (due to compatibility issues) and does not wipe if you are already using *any* version of Tsugi... it also backs up your existing wireless.ko (since this is on the system partition), and restores it after flash if it did not install a new kernel. It will only install a new kernel if you were not already running Tsugi...

If it sounds complicated, it's because it is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theonetruecoco:
This is what makes the devs here stand out. Dedication to a first class bug free product. No matter what dev or what rom my hat is off to all of you that strive to make the most out of devices that are crippled by carrier bloat and locked Down by the manufacturer.

Thank you just doesn't seem enough
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Word!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TerryMathews:
Ive noticed that the g2x is pretty aggressive about locking the screen when a call connects via bluetooth, more so than my old g2. Could it maybe have happened in time with the screen locking? If so maybe it's the changes in smalli code that the developer has been struggling with...

I've not once experienced any rebooting or sods. Very impressed and I use my phone a lot!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Thanks! :D

@xdviper

Im working on a stock theme now. Gatta cut down the christmas tree tommorrow with the kids, but when I get time this weekend or monday, ill have it up =)

How do we adjust the LCD brightness? When I go into settings it's blacked out.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sukhochir:
May be last 12-1 2.3.4full have connection delaying or freezeing issues, browsing web site, watch YouTube , etc loading long time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Do you have automatic brightness unchecked? Unless I'm missing some kind of extra LCD settings I didn't know about that's what it sounds like anyway. You can't adjust the brightness when auto is checked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
This might stupid question but I'd rather check first before I screw something up. For some reason my flash player isn't working cause everywhere I go it says I need an updated flash player but I cant update it in the market. If I want to delete it so I can try to reinstall it, should I delete libflashplayer in system apps, or will that borq everything up? I've actually tried to uninstall it with a root uninstaller app I've got, but it just keeps reappearing for some reason.

Edit: Ok I noticed in the op that you removed it so I'm assuming the market must have installed it from my backup or something because it's there but I didn't install it. I just thought it was included with the rom. Gonna do a nand backup and try to remove and reinstall it now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdviper:
No, its grayed out in the display section of settings. I can't get in tl adjust it or uncheck it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
No, it was me... it snuck back into the release version :(.... apparently the bundled flash checks the build ID which I changed to fix other market issues... until the next release the workaround is to manually remove LibFlashPlayer.apk from your /system/app directory and then reboot before installing Flash from the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Intel_x:
I love this rom fast stable but battery sucks us 3pm 15% left I unplugged it at 11am any reason us doing this miui last like day and a half
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
My battery last anywhere from 10 hours with heavy use, to 16-18 hours with moderate use. I have 68 apps running also.

Which means you got something draining your battery. Most likely and app, maybe touch key lights or something. In other words, its a 3rd party thing. Gatta use the process of elimination, or since commingle from miui, some apps don't work right on 2.3.4 that work on miui. (Most likely if your using TB)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beekersguy:
Yeah, my battery sucked for the first couple of days, and then I used the calibration tool that's included in the ROM. Since then, it's been great. about 10 or 12 hours with heavy heavy use.

EDIT: That's using the custom kernel oc at 1.1Ghz, uv at -10 down to 1Ghz, and -20 for all lower frequencies.

Ill make you a framework-res.apk with my theme and no crt animation. I just read up on how to do it and its pretty easy. =)

I figured It would fall under my responsibility if you wanted the theme still lol

You just need root explorer or adb to push it.

That's awesome and greatly appreciated. I have root explorer installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Intel_x:
I left the rom stock and still. Draining to fast
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Ok cool I thought I was losing it cause I couldn't remember installing it LOL. The way I did it didn't actually require reboot. I deleted the libflashplayer.apk file first and then used a root uninstaller to uninstall it. After that I went to the market and it let me download and install it and now it works perfect. I have a question for ya though that I haven't been able to figure out yet and it's driving me nuts. Do you know what exactly causes the browser (I'm using dolphin hd) to automatically redirect a webpage to it's mobile version? It seems like it has to be rom related because on some roms I tried I never got redirected (well the sites I try anyway), but on this one I do. I would just like to know if I'm missing something or does it have something to do with the rom itself? It's not just this one though it's always been hit or miss depending on what rom I use. I set dolphins user agent to desktop and I even did about:debug on the stock browser and enabled useragent, but I still get redirected even though on some roms the same webpages would not get redirected? Anyway I'm not complaining or anything cause it's not a big deal and I love this rom, I just wanted to see if you knew what would cause that or if I'm just missing something. Thank you again though for this rom cause it's the best my phone has ever ran! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
I have dolphin hd also, bur it doesn't matter really. It is usually up to the web page developers to detect a cell phone or not (mobile devices have a different signature when your using 3g or 4g). I can't say for sure but when your on wifi I think your phone actually gats a legitimate ip, so the web page comes up as normal. Regardless, I don't think its the rom. I could be wrong

Sent from my G2X running Colorized Tsugi's 2.3.4 ROM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
That definitely makes sense and believe me I'm not trying to argue with ya, but it redirects whether I'm on wifi or not. When I'm on a rom that doesn't redirect me it also doesn't make a difference whether or not I'm on wifi. I don't know though your guess is as good as mine man thanks for replying either way. I've had this question since I had my first sprint Evo a few years ago because it always just depended on the rom I used as to whether I'd get the mobile version of webpages or not. For example the last rom I had was cm7 stable (not for me) and 100% of the time (on wifi or data) it would load AOL.com (I use that as a tester) as a full page, but on this one it goes to mobile version every time. I'd assume if it was the webpage that determined whether it would redirect it or not, it shouldn't matter what rom I'm on right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
I guess it might depend if the page asks for a recognized version of android or not. Since some versions are custom of course like cm and whatnot. Hey, but I definitely can't answer that since its all theory as to the fact were not web developers or rom dev's. Maybe somebody can enlighten this subject. But I know our forums (on my site with a different developer) detects my mobile device.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
That's a good point though, I always wondered what exactly tips off the webpage that it's a cell phone (even though the useragent is set as desktop) like something in the build prop or whatever. I'm definitely not a noob to Android, but that stuff is still a bit over my head. I pretty much know just enough to be dangerous :D Also wanted to say great job on that theme man I'm lovin it! Here's a question for ya on something that might be your expertice..Is it possible set up a "hotkey" (so to speak anyway) to hide the notification bar whenever you want on this rom? An example is on cm7 one function I really miss is being able to hide the notification bar anytime by long pressing the menu key. I used that a lot because in my car I mount my phone on a windshield dock so it's my car stereo. The music player I use has a visualization I really like but the notification bar doesn't go away so it was awesome being able to hide it on the fly. Just thought I'd see if you had any suggestions for an alternative. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] homerxd:
Current stable version is working great for me so far. I did full wipe install thru rom manager.

Small issue I am having by following these steps

- Put phone in airplane mode thru power menu.

- Again thru power menu, power off.

- Switch phone on again

- Now I can't bring phone out of airplane mode thru power menu

- I have to go into wireless settings and uncheck airplane mode.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Hiding the notification menu via *any particular circumstance would be lotherius' deal with the rom. I can't see that happening without some major tweaks though, so I wouldn't count on it. =/

Just trying to get a good solid stable release is the primary I believe.

Yeah I already knew he wasn't going to add stuff like that from comments he made earlier. I just figured I'd ask to see if it's something I could tackle myself or not.

At this point I'm still fighting issues with the power menu and phone shutdown/reboot functions related to the power menu. Beginning to think there may be some inherent flaws that aren't even related to the menu changes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Did he remove "Car Home" app. If that is there it will do that for you and make an easy to navigate car friendly menu. If it is removed try to add it back from another rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Car Home is present - updated to the newer Google version since the built-in version lagged hard when I tried to use it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Hey thanks I'll try that out but I'm not sure it's gonna work for my situation. The music player I use is quirky to say the least but it's literally the only one I found that has a spektrum analyzer like an old sony graphic eq I had back in the day. Anyway I use launcher pro which allows me to hide the notification bar, but when I open the music player the notification bar comes back. I think I tried that with car home and it did the same thing but I can't remember so I'll try it out anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though but it seems like it's a real unique problem because I can't use any other music player and I love this rom. That setting in cm7 was the only solution to that problem I ever found but I'm not letting this rom go so I might just have to deal with it

:(

Edit: No go with car home either. I don't know why but the music app I use keeps bringing notification bar back.

Thanks for your work on this. It's becoming a bit of a pain that my phone reboots every time I enable USB storage -- it pretty much doubles the time for me to put a new video on the phone, waiting for the reboot and the flash scan.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Unfortunately, the USB Storage bug is one I'm not really working on... I cannot seem to reproduce it myself with the information I have - my phone just connects and works. If I cannot reproduce the bug, I cannot find out what causes it.

Any information you could provide would be helpful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I've occasionally had the USB issue and the shutdown does a reboot instead issue with my version of the 2.3.4 rom. So it is not something you did. It is something in the base rom itself. I don't think you are going to be able to track down the problem. I just live with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dr. Bogenbroom:
I've had it happen too with your ROM jboxer. It's not frequent and seemingly random (it happens so infrequently i've not tried to trace back to what the exact environment was that caused it).

I put this ROM on my wifes G2X just yesterday (coming from jboxer's 2.4) and can't get WiFi Calling to work. It says "you're not registered w/T-Mobile would you like to". Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ch4dr0x:
This ROM is seriously one of the best I've used on any of my devices. I haven't had a single issue minus a random reboot here and there (which could have been my phone's fault) but man, this thing is fast and stable. I came from Baka's ROM and my battery drained like no other. Its not 4:41PM ET and my phone has been off the charger since 7AM. I'm at 81% battery with a fair chunk of tweeting and texting.

How's this rom compared to Cm7? I would try it but I'm getting my replacement G2x in the mail and I can't use the one with me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
I posted my testimonials for this rom, along with many other people. This compared to cm7 is the difference (For me) like a toyota compared to a lexus. This is very smooth and fast in comparison. I believe mainly because this is based off of an actual working android version with LG's additions that was publicly released. CM7 is mainly based off of their code, not necessarily built For the G2x. Cm7 does work, and has a lot of nice perks, but with the things that matter in every day use, incomparable.

I know lethorius is getting frustrated with some things in this ROM, its understandable. But overall, I wouldnt change ROM's at all. It's taken me 7 months to find a rom that runs like this.
