[HTC EVO 3D] xerigen:
I've never used a custom ROM or kernel. It's stock everything.

From settings-> about:

Android version: 4.1.1

Baseband version: L710VPBLJ7

Kernel version: 3.0.31-329968 se.infra@SEP-97 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 16 22:37:51 KST 2012

Build number: JRO03L.L710VPBLJ7

Hardware version: L710.14
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If it's truly being caused by OTG host support your SGS3 has that built-in, but it is only available with custom kernels on the Evo 3D. The description of the driver seems to indicate that it may be more generically related to USB operations.

[HTC EVO 3D] xerigen:
Thanks for the help. It seems too coincidental that this just happened at the same time that I upgraded from ICS to JB and most other people don't have battery issues since upgrading. Been trying to figure out other things, but to no avail. I wish there was a way to disable OTG host support to see if that is indeed causing it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
my mobile is already rooted ( using cm7 ) . i just wanna confirm that can i install official 2.3 like other roms -

wipe data

factory reset

install zip from sd card .

the basic method i used for alll other roms .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Unfortunately you can't.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Download the Official ROM. Then follow the instructions said there. This is not a .zip update, it's Huawei's own update.app
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Am I the only one who noticed that CM7 is slower than Weapon and EVEN stock?

I am not contemplating this, I am sure of this!

Just expressing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
I have found that cm7 is the fastest rom out there, and i tired em all. After using stock and cm7 for a while , I ended up sticking with miui.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
You are definitely doing something wrong bec is completely the opposite.... maybe a bad flash? A specific app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks.

Very interesting.

I am a freak when it comes to noticing these things. I can say that the general "fluidity" of stock and Weapon (opening apps, moving from one app to another, to desktop, re opening, and so on), is smooth and it just wicked fast on Weapon and even stock.

CM7 is good, but not quite there.

If it has to do with flashing - I don't know.

I just follow the instructions ):
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
hahah (:

idk. maybe it's the launcher thing. with regular launcher is so fast. maybe that's it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yeah, the included ADW Launcher with CM7 kind of sucks. Try ADW Ex, Launcher Pro, or stock Gingerbread launcher.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
STOCK GB LAUNCHER???? HOW DO I GET THAT??? That's what i want! I didn't know this was possible with CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I feel retarded now.

Maybe that's all it was ???

):
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The launcher makes a HUGE difference in satisfaction.

For example: MIUI

People dislike MIUI at first glance because "it feels too much like iOS".

True. It does. But the stock MIUI launcher is modeled after the iOS style homescreen. Load up a different launcher and it begins to feel like Android on Steroids.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
If you want your phone to feel FAST, you use Zeam as your launcher, and turn off the animated apps grid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
The ADWLauncher is quite choppy. A main reason I stopped using "pure" CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Do you have transition animations enabled?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
I'm using cm7 with morfic Trinity kernel and go launcher ex and no problems. I think weapon is a very good rom but I stopped using it because it boots sooo slow
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thank you!

I have yet to understand how does one change a KERNEL. Doesn't these come with the ROM? I assume they do, so how can you change just the kernel without changing the rom?

I do not know what Kernels are, but I am assuming I should refer to them like the "BIOS" of a PC (controlling basic functionality of the device)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
If transitions are too slow for you go to spare parts and change the animation thing to fast or none. You can flash kernels basically the same way you flash a rom. Find a kernel in the development section and reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik & cache and look for the kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Amazing! Everyday I learn something new here.

THANK YOU
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Kernel is not like the bios. The bootloader is the bios, the kernel is loaded by the bootloader. The kernel has init scripts inn the ram disk that load the OS. The kernel is Perry low level but not bios low. It's the heart of the OS. Think of it like this: the bios/bootloader is the ignition process on a car, the kernel is like the engine, started by the ignition process. With the engine, everything else starts up. Changing the kernel is like changing the engine, to a more optimized, more feature filled custom engine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
No, I've seen cm7 side by side to my weapon and its noticeably slower. I think most people are just so stuck on cm7 that their view becomes slightly distorted, sort of like apple fanboys (no offense to anyone, just stating my findings).

And the slow boot issue has been resolved, under 30 seconds for me running weapon with faux oc/uv kernel.

Edit: To prevent launcher related comments, we would both ran the same launcher, go launcher ex.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
I used weapon 2.6 and 2.7 with faux kernel and was having boot times of 3 to 5 min. It was irritating. Cm7 with morfic Trinity kernel boots in 18 to 23 sec. I couldn't be happier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
So again we have another person saying that Weapon is faster, which is what I felt as well.

Regarding the boot times, i just have the regular Kernel (whichever that is), and boot times are fine. Besides, how often does one turn his phone on and off anyways (:

3-5min is unacceptable, i agree. But never saw such slow boot times with Weapon myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I posted a fix for the Faux kernel's long boot times on stock 2.3.3 that can be found in the Faux 1.3 thread. It had to do with a debug script that was triggering dalvik cache rebuild on every boot. Removed it and repacked it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I am not sure this is the place to ask, but since we are already dealing with Kernels..... what is the best kernel for Weapon? Is there a unified opinion (consensus) about THE BEST kernel? Or is it one of those things that each to his own?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
CM7 handicaps the G2X in that there is no HDMI output adjustment available. Plus, HBO Go doesn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
the one lotherius just mentioned
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
I've tried CM7, Weapon and xboarder's tweaked stock and ended up going back to rooted stock. There were things about each of the others I didn't really like, and I found with root access it was easy enough on stock to remove the bloat and add in things that I couldn't use without root like setcpu.

This doesn't mean I think stock is "better" than CM or other ROMs. It's just what's best for me right now. I get great battery life and the phone does what I want. I'm eager to try CM9 when it's stable, and I'll be happy to try stock ICS when it comes out as well as the ROMs based off it.

Btw, does can anyone say why CM comes with AWD built in instead of using the stock launcher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] es0tericcha0s:
I dunno about being "faster" but stock based roms are the only ones that don't give me too many issues with losing my connection to the entire network. CM7 roms almost always give me problems with kicking me off Tmo. Even after the supposed "Oh we fixed the APN issue for SURE this time". Has just never been good for me, unfortunately because I like CM7 in most other ways. I almost ALWAYS need to use Wifi Calling which is why I can't even try MIUI. Every time has been a failure. I have the same problem with dropping off the network + no Wifi Calling? Ugh. A phone with no connection to the network is pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things. Could it be just my phone and not a rom issue? Maybe, but have seen plenty of other complaints that are similar so hard to discount just that. I also live in a very large metropolitan area that Tmo swears has excellent service. *shrug* Stock it is for now...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Because the stock GB launcher uses more than twice the RAM as well as more resources than ADW.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
When you say "losing my connection to the entire network", do you mean to the carrier? or the internet???

BECAUSE I AM DROPPING CALLS LIKE CRAZY WITH WEAPON!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Try Tsugi or BakaG2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
You guys have to try fitsnugly's build, seriously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Tsugi and fitsnugly ARE THE SAME???

sorry i know this is annoying but is there a link? I'll try it right now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Tsugi is based off of the official LG 2.3.4 GB while fitsnugly makes ROM's based on CM7. Tsugi is on the Development section, front page.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
his 7.2 kang is good no real bugs that I found I was on it for 4 days only weird thing that would happen to me was the lock screen would sometimes not come up. Not that much of an issue to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] es0tericcha0s:
Yes, off of the Tmo network completely. I have had better luck with Baka and Tsugi than most, but still not where I would like it. I guess I got spoiled being on Verizon towers for so long, but nevertheless, I expect a phone this nice to have a good enough radio to grab a decent signal while living in an area that is covered well by the network. I don't feel that is asking too much. Unfortunately I'm not on contract so can't complain officially. Luckily I haven't been out and about too much lately so am usually close enough to my router that it has only really been an issue a few times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
That is unacceptable! If it has to do with the ROM - than what good is a ROM that has this fault?

I am now running BAKA and will report on this.

If this will continue, and will continue even with STOCK, than I will get rid of this phone - obviously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlazinHitman:
Honestly im running cm7 + faux's OC/UV kernel currently overclocked to 1.3 with go launcher and its pretty beast no complaints...

the miui launcher was pretty good to
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
This works and it is awesome, thanks lotherius.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] es0tericcha0s:
It's definitely not completely a rom issue. This has happened since I got the phone and it was stock. I called Tmo the first day and then it was an issue with the service in my area. They told me to upgrade to Gingerbread. I said ok, and rooted it and still had some issues so called back and then it was because supposedly I was not registered to the correct tower. I'm a power user and a serial flasher and have tried every rom available. Some are slightly better, but definitely not what you could rely on. Luckily I haven't been in a situation where I NEEDED it...yet. If it wasn't for Wifi Calling, I'm quite sure I would have tossed the phone out into a busy street.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
I dont talk much on my phone, and when I do my calls are usually under 5 mins, so I havent had an issue with dropping calls. I did notice however, that occasionally my phone would lose all service for no reason, although I haven't seen that happen for a couple weeks now.

Also neither weapon nor fauxs kernel completely solved my rebooting issues. But, for me, setting minimum frequency to 500=problem free phone=mostly happy g2x owner.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
If your getting dropped calls on weapon then it probably is the kernel your using, that is unless you just stayed stock. For normal use the stock kernel that comes on weapon is the best. Best battery life and no issues. I ended up going back to stock gingerbread myself, used the hidden LG menu to fix the GPS, and I couldn't be happier. Best battery life, no issues ever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
I am using Weapon 3 r1 since it's released. The only problem I have is once in while my phone just does not turn on. When I hit the power button the soft key light turns on but the screen remains black. Have to use power Vol up to reset. With stock kernel.

I have also tried BAKA rom for one day, but bluetooth headset does not connect and developer said he will not fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
This was my biggest problem when I had the G2x. Other than that I loved that phone, It was insanely fast and almost without stutter and that's what I liked the most about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Thanks. I'm not a fan of ADW but it makes sense they'd go with something lighter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
CM7 is much faster than stock, but using a stock based backup on it will slow it down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
With all the roms especially lately for this phone people are going to have strong opinions about which is the best.

I liked weapon and jboxer's but I always come back to cm7. MIUI is cool looking but not for me.

ADW Launcher can be super fast or slow depending on the settings. I love this launcher it really has all the options in the world.

But I couldn't go back to stock or weapon again due to a few things like ext 4, cust notification and power control.

Plus we all know that ICS will be on this phone working fully by CM before LG stock ics is out.

Nvidia always!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
I ran Weapon since around 1.8 then switched to CM7 after running weapon 2.8 for a while. I ran CM7 for about a month and just switched to Weapon 3.0 the other night. On both roms I used ADW ex with all the same settings from rom to rom and weapons UI is significantly faster. They both score around the same on quadrant (~2700, just got a 2822 on weapon) with their stock kernels though. I haven't tried faux's kernel on weapon but with CM7+faux @ 1.5ghz I've hit 4k on quadrant. There's just something missing from the AOSP roms that makes the UI a considerable amount faster on stock and stock based roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cthulion:
Hey all, new g2x user here.

I recently received this phone as a replacement to a mytouch 4g. I love the screen, the feel and the Waaaaayy better sound quality from speaker AND headphones. I really hated that part of the mt4g.

The problem I am having is that the phone will lock and stagger so frequently its barely useable a lot of the time. It also reboots itself a couple times a day.

Whenever this happens I notice the amount of free ram is usually around 30s or at least under 50.

I use less apps and Widgets on the g2x than I did on the mt4g, and with a dual core I was expecting it to blow it away. Really not so. Also my battery life is always under 10h on standby and about 3h if I continually browse the web or use apps like xda or eBay. I'd get at least twice that on the mt4g on cm7.

I'm on my second g2x...

Is anybody else also experiencing this and/or figured out a way to deal with it?

I'm not rooted and running stock, but I figure if users of other rooms have similar issues I might be better off bothering T-Mobile into sending me a different model.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] santizinho:
Well I noticed depending on the Rom, the more free ram there is. I'm using eaglesblood V2.5 and ram is not an issue whatsoever. I used to have a mytouch 4g as well so I can relate. Initially I regretted the buy but as soon as I rooted my G2X everything just became ten times better. Get a good kernal and battery life will greatly increase as well. I love my G2X. I bought a 32 gb micro SD, a 3500 mAh battery, and it's amazing!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cthulion:
Thanks for the input.

I was wondering about extended batteries, where do you find a reliable one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Flash a new ROM. That should fix your rebooting problems. Try going with CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes:
I think WeaponG2x is the best rom for the G2x. I like CM7 for other devices but not for this phone. ADW & launcher pro is good but go launcher is way better and free. Try WeaponG2x and go launcher together. It's the best combo for this phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakuran:
From all the talk about weapon I think I may give it a go. I've been on CM7 running Regina Launcher, fun ui and hasn't hiccuped on me yet..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I wouldn't if I were you, its possibly about to get a needed update to it from someone that was allowed to work on it from the original dev. The person taking over has stated in the thread that he is making changes and will probably release if it is up to his standards.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Cheap ones are hit and miss. I got a 3500mAh from Amazon for about 15 dollars and mine works great. You can always pay the extra money for better quality. Just be safe and do your research. Read reviews from multiple sources. They really are great to have! I love not being tied to my charger all day.

Post Your Question Here And I Will Do My Best To Answer Them, Or Someone Else Will. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
Not at present. Look for it in update. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] terr_bear:
It's infuse based right? not a port?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
That is correct. Try it you will like it! :)

Nice!! I most definitely will!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaysona1:
Having a problem with wifi not connecting. reflashed and wiped twice now no luck. any advice?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
Flash a Different modem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaysona1:
What modems are compatible. which do you suggest?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Uh... maybe you had a bad download originally. I might try redownloading and then flashing again.

About the modems.. I dunno. It's been working great for me. But wifi won't give me data. But that's another issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaysona1:
That's what mine is doing. connects but no data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
wifi fix...maybe lol

to those with wifi connecting but not providing data/actually working just turn off your phone the normal way-hold down power button choose power off. then power it back on and wifi should work...at least it worked for me. let me know if it works for you :)

here are the steps in more detail:

1) connect to wifi network

2) turn off mobile data and try and use the internet-try multiple websites

*if you can not connect to any websites than continue to step 3, otherwise your wifi is working!

2b) turn mobile data back on-this is to avoid the problem i wrote about under the edit...i cant verify this way will still work.

3) turn off your phone

4) turn your phone back on

you phone should automatically reconnect to the wifi network, if not than connect to your wifi network and see if it works now.

***EDIT***

ok, i left to go pick up my sister from school and found out that my mobile data no longer worked, i just turned phone off and on and it worked again, i tried toggling packet data first. I am now home and wifi still works!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rocket42:
This looks great. However, I just am not into green. Do you know of any themes that may work here?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaysona1:
After reseting the phone about 10 times, i either have no wifi, or no data each time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
Have you tried a different modem?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
[If you are experiencing any issues after flashing try this]

Step back deep breath, regain your patience, and follow all the steps for a good clean FRESH START.

Seriously, get your phone to the most stable backup you have, then follow the simple steps in OP. Clean up the insides real good before placing this nice runner in. Then LET IT SETTLE.

Don't do anything until ALL the scans are complete, let it familiarize itself with native infuse guts again.

Treat this as more than just a port, this is a native infuse and a great solid ROM.

I'll post some tips here shortly, need to compile them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Are the Infusion GB kernels compatible with this ROM?

Are the UCKK modems compatible with this ROM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Tips

Okay I'm gonna try to remember all the tips and tricks I used and share them with you all. 1st off this Rom is awesome. If you're having problems it's most likely user error. Nice job Big Fau.

________________________________________________________________

Begin with file organization. You will need to download:

a) SU fix

b) your choice of modem

place them in a file on your sd card (NOT ext_sdcard)

________________________________________________________________

1) start out as clean as possible. Use one of your most stable backups you have. This gets your phone all ready and prepped for infusing a native ROM back on to your phone. Also there is Jordan's instructions for flashing if you want ( flashing tutorial )

2) Now further cleaning up using wiping methods (dalvik and data/factory) I can't emphasize this enough. Start with a fresh base. Once you feel confidently clean step 3.

3) Follow steps from OP:

_____________________________

Installation:

1. Place .zip onto internal SD card

2. Reboot into CWM

3. Wipe Dalivk Cache

4. Wipe Data\Factory Reset

5. Install from sd card, choose the zip

7. Reboot the phone after it's done Installing

_____________________________

4) Very Important! LET IT SETTLE. For real I think maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's a native Infuse ROM, idk but this one needs to sit before you even log in to Google. Let ALL the scans finish.

5) Now log into Google, ect. (choose not to use data packets though until you get the wifi up and running, saves you on data usage) Don't restore tibu yet,

boot back into red Recovery.

6) In recovery flash the superuser fix. reboot, let the scans run.

7) Open Market, download (if you don't already have it) "busybox"

install it and run it (install in xbin when asked) it should say successful when done.

8) In market go to superuser, update. Then open su and update the binary (at the bottom in preferences) run that binary update till you got all green.

9) Boot into Red Recovery.

10) Flash the modem of your choice. I personally am using the UCKK4 and it's working great. oh and make sure to turn data packets back on, if you turned them off. Now restore tibu.

Hope this helps some people to fully enjoy this ROM.

X.

Edit: you can flash the modem and su fix at the same time.

This is my new daily driver. Just feels a lot better than the ports, things seem to respond quicker and execute faster. I tried CatyRom but just couldn't get into the look. Love the green on this one.

Any chance on integrating the lock button to take pictures in future versions?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
To the best of my knowledge this has to be coded into the app, which is a very difficult and arduous process. If you want that use Collective. It's the only one that I remember after flashing almost every ROM that has it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] android_ace:
bigfau, just wanted to let you know this ROM is PERFECT! Don't change it. You did an awesome job on this one! I'm very new to this and have put several ROMs on my phone that didn't work well. This one works beautifully. Thanks!
