Check my sig.. there is a guide for the g2x that TOG565 and I have done.. go to the page it has links for kernels and good info for you...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
If you want clean battery readings pick a CM type kernel, DM gives odd readings but is said to give better battery life. You can go with faux or Trinity kernels, each available in different abilities. Trinity is what I use, CM battery driver, gives a nice stable range of overclock, underclock and undervolt abilities and is rock solid for me so far. Each device works with different kernels differently, so while Trinity is great for me, your phone may prefer faux.

Flashing a kernel is done the same way as a rom, install zip from SD, then pick your kernel zip, flash it, wipe cache and dalvik. The kernels are available in the g2x dev forum, and make sure you get one for CM7, not cm9.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I'll check it out.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
cool no worries
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I flashed a new kernel (P999-CM-Kernel-048r.zip), but now all android.processes keep stopping?

After flashing I wiped cache partitions then dalvic cache and then I ran fix permissions.

I've done several restarts.

Should I just keep trying different CM7 compatible kernels?

There are 6 more in the drop box directory link provided, so I will use those.

appreciate the guidance..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Try out different kernels until you find one that's works for you and your phone. Pretty sure that's a faux kernel, give a Trinity kernel a try, too. My phone has always preferred Trinity kernels for some reason, sometimes it does ok with faux but it tends toward unstable over a few hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Try the stock voltage version - P999-CM-Kernel-048r-

sv

.zip
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I already installed the ELP-G2x-06022012.zip. Despite, having to do a battery pull after the initial reboot and a very look second reboot and some button pressing to get out of the animation screen. It now appears stable.

It indicates a trinity build, so I will test it a day for battery sense. If not, I'll try the sv (? stock version?) of the P999-CM...48 kernel.

This does seem to handle my google voice settings better than the default kernel in 2.2 did.

Thanks again for responding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Yeah that's low power, if you get instabilities your CPU just may not like the voltages and a stock voltage kernel will do better. Not all hardware is created equal after all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Probably your phone doesn't like over clocking much.. take a nandroid back up and try both n stick with the one that fits best. Some devices known to prefer one kernel over the other.

Trinity does replace the boot image, Faux doesn't.

Thanks for the insights as I am leanings these subtleties just now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Your wipeing cache and davlik before you flash right?

Sent from my LG-G2x using ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
Actually, after I flash. That is cache partitions, dalvik and then I fix permissions...in that order.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Yeah this applies to all hardware not just our phones or android devices, PC's TVs anything has variations one to the next, even blenders and light bulbs, though I wouldn't recommend trying to undervolt a blender or overclock a tv.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Absolutely ... to explain further ;-)

Say the ideal stock voltage is 100mv and acceptable tolerance is plus or minus 10mv. So actual devices can vary between 90mv - 110 mv. If your device came with ... 105mv rating undervolting by 10mv still keep you at acceptable range at 95mv. But if your device came rated with 95mv, undervolting by 10mv will put you at 85mv that would not work properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Don't know why your wipeing them after you flash the kernel.... wipe those then flash and you will have no issues.. the FC your getting has nothing to do with Voltage its because your flashing the kernel incorrectly..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Only thing I have to add is that manufacturer's specs are minimal in nature, meaning as long as it does at least 1ghz it passes. There's also "failures" meaning if it does not pass at 1ghz but passes at 800mhz, it gets used in a lesser device, hence some having a higher tolerance to oc or UV then others, besides variations itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
You can't say it has nothing to do with voltage, its happened over and over that some devices are unstable at a given voltage. Wiping after a flash is common practice and causes no issues for me with the same kernel and rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
So .... what do you think is the difference between wiping before vs wiping after?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
To each is own but really how dose this even sound like a voltage issue ... every issue I've experienced and read in finding my lowest undervolt on any device I've ever had I've never had a all android processes fc from undervolting ... but like every other undervolt issue there's overheating, reboots, freezes, wont boot.. but if you flash a rom or kernel incorecly like not wiping, dirty flashing what ever all you get is FC errors, suddenly has stoped errors and a logcat like an encyclopaedia of errors.... and since when is it common to flash anything without a wipe before you flash?..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I thought by clearing caches afterwards, I was following directions in one of the forums, which suggested it was optional, but improved reliability.

Dual nullifier, I read does wipe caches first. Fixing permissions seems to help a little if I have some problems, but maybe the underlying cause is more substantial...eg over/under clocking?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Well if you nullified your good that tool is awesome.. my phone hates faux ics, cm7.. even sv no oc.. but loves Trinity.. can UV really low and can oc with Trinity's destroyer kernels with no issue.. its a sensitive phone.. hopefully you can find a good setup for your needs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
I mentioned it from experience, that's all. I've had random FC issues that were resolved by adding voltage. Say it was a fluke if you want, but it does happen.

And we're talking kernel flashing not rom flashing, and I never said not to wipe before flash, I said to wipe after. As in, its common to wipe your cache and dalvik after flashing a rom or kernel. If you don't, hey great sometimes I do and sometimes don't, but what is one of the common pieces of advice given rom issues? Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. Its common advice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
Thanks for your insights. How best would I play with voltage..on froyo my phone was working well until it started using too much battery.

Now I cannot load large elixir widgets on GO launcher home screen anymore.

I'll have to wait to know if I can trust these trinity battery readings a little longer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
I agree I do a wipe after to sometimes .. I didn't relize he nullified before then flashed then wiped...was my understanding he flashed then wiped and I've never had luck with that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Setcpu, antutu, pimp my CPU.. there's a bunch of options for messing with voltage
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I nullify first when loading a new rom, but not for the kernel(s)...in case that is not obvious. So these only get wiped after loading. But I can change that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Lol this is what happens when you play on xda wile working... didn't see the big dual infront of nullify guess it wasn't the cache nullify:banghead:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Ouch. But yeah if you nullify before the rom install, any other wipes can be just wipes, meaning cache and dalvik while keeping the rom, for troubleshooting or kernel changes. Before or after your choice lol.

Oh, I use antutu CPU master, there's a free version, don't recall if setcpu has one or not. Both work fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
If im not mistaken setcpu is free on xda... but as far as the nullifier you really dont want to run it each time before a new flash.. just like between every ten flashes or so... its 'spring cleaner' tool. To be treated as such. in the meantime use the scrubber or factory reset with format of system and the caches.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
Thanks for all the info. It's overload, but informative.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
haha welcome to XDA... ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
But if you read 319 pages you'll fix any problem you have, ever, without having to ask for help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
+1 to that ... all you need 99% of the time is factory reset followed by formatting /system.

Sometimes it's just corrupted downloads, check the MD5 sums before flashing.

Other wipe tools are there for specific reasons, outlined in their respective threads, which most do not read anyway :-)

i.e g2x scrubber is needed if you want to get back to EXT3 from EXT4 when you want to go back to stock from CM7 or a kernels that use EXT4

nullifier - running from fbi ... without a trace

that's what the "search" is for? so that you don't have to go through all the pages :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
+10

Just the 319 pages of results lol

Seriously, search can kind of suck on this forum.

Oh, I've found Googling something + xda gives better search results then the forum's search.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Ah .. just remembered .. go to "Advance Search" and setup your search parameters. i.e. search only the title not each and every post first :)

Once you found and interesting thread then search through the posts within the thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
That would certainly help, nice pro tip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] J-C.Martin:
That's odd... I have never noticed this and my phone always seem to be working fine... I've being using 2.3.7 since the first 2.3.7 release by EaglesBlood.

But when I went there to check though, the number was not there...

Is this just a display information or is it used somewhere?

Most of the time I use Google Voice to make calls, so idk if this config is causing any issues to me or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hyudryu:
Ahh I see, thanks. I also noticed that the battery icon sometimes shows a ? mark, and I have an app that tells you the battery percentage, and it always says 100%. even after I drained it a lot. I tried rebooting and it does the same, and sometimes, it fixes it, but the problem persists. Is there any way to fix it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Mine shows a ? mark after I reboot it when the battery dies. As for the app try reinstalling it. If the problem persists try redownloading and reflashing your kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iDreamless531:
Actually its not tha app all yhu have 2do is reboot tha phn again nd tha problem shuld disappear, tht don't work just pull tha battery wait 15 seconds nd pop it back in nd it shuld work, this shuld also fix tha app as well gud luck

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
I've been using Eaglesblood since the beginning, and the same with phoenixblood. Has anyone noticed any issues with v1. 3? What I mean is anything that didn't go wrong with previous versions? I love the new roms and I want to thank the dev bigtime, it's like our phone is brand new again. We haven't seen this support for months, this is awesome, thank you. I just purchased a used g2x a couple of weeks ago to replace my broken one. I had that one since May. I got a good one that time, no issues that bothered me. Now, I've run all the versions of phoenixblood, no problems until v1. 3, sod, reboots, freezing. I don't want to blame the rom because the device is new to me. So, that being said, has anyone noticed v1. 3 to be a little less stable than the previous? I only ask because changing back to earlier versions or another rom entirely, the problems seem so stop. Once again, Thank you so much xohellox, sorry if I got your name wrong, your roms are the **** ball and I hope to see many more.

I think it covers most of the salient bits. You will need to be comfortable with Linux - it really isn't possible to do it on Windows.

EDIT: On another topic.... has anybody been having multiple repeated crashes with Com.android.phone after bootup? I've been having this issue and thought it was due to attempting to use the Root Toolbox theme feature... but I am still having the crash after installing today's update which should have replaced any broken files in the system folder. I wiped dalvik and cache also, and am still having the crashes. It is possible that it's due to a specific app on my phone, but I'm just checking to see if anyone else has had this issue on this rom...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Yes. Had that few times and stopped using Root Toolbox and then a full wipe fixed it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Thanks for responding so quickly and thanks a million for the update! I always do a full wipe between roms, but we have a new version, so f v1.3!

Just go to derkernel.com click the link for the p999 download the elp kernel (extra low power - I find it gives me the best battery life) out the zip on your sd card, boot into recovery wipe your cache (not data, just cache) and then flash the elp kernel from your sd card, reboot and enjoy....if you have problems with booting you'll just have to wipe your data/factory reset flash the rom, gapps, then kernel all in a tow and then reboot. Hope that helps - I remember being the noob to rooting but we all were noobs once, just remember the key is to read read read...if you can't take the time to read you wont have the patience to deal with everything that rooting entails...

Edit - My bad didn't realize this had been answered a few pages back...for some reason my xda apparently is really slow to update lately...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypocrat37:
As far as I know I was the one that asked about the video chat being upside down and was given the response that someone hadn't tried it and that I should update to 2.2 and try again or use a different app...honestly this is not at all the response I had hoped for...what am I supposed to do get all my contacts to switch their applications to the one I'm using? Not very practical...anyway I have updated to 2.2 and am going to test it out tonight to see if mine is working...what app are you using? And are you using 2.2?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
That was probably me. And I said to try 2.2 as it has updates and fixes, and I said I haven't had that issue, and suggested trying a different app. All troubleshooting things to try. Im sorry if I couldn't offer you some advice on how to fix the source code and compile a rom to fix it. I never said to switch everyone to Skype or something, just to test another app. If you are going to get fussy about suggestions, don't ask for them. At a minimum you got a response with some things to try, even if you don't appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
I've been using Skype and occasionally my picture will look upside down but it isn't on their side so it seems to be a non issue. If you are upside down try rotating the screen around a few times always worked for me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
I'm actually going to go ahead and admit this is one thing i didn't check. I don't video chat, idk just never done it before no one to video chat with. Wait actually I've used Skype on my PC to holler at my brother when he is on orders and on foreign soil. But that was with my Comcast connection...I'm picky when it comes to video and if its glitchy I loose patience right away and just say eff it and turn it off.. so with the most superman-istic fasterest then you've never seen tmo data connection, I just didn't give it a second thought ..however I will test it from now on. I'll call hell!! Lol but really let's get this sorted. Time for some research.

I have had several stable days with 2.2, but have noticed an oddity. When I use ES explorer or File explorer, I cannot always see a folder I know to be on my _ExternalSD card. It seems that some partition has occurred that causes some random association with /home or /mnt/emmc/ to see this directory (and likely others).

Is there a simple way to fix this...so I can choose which to see (internalSD/ExternalSD) or simply show them both together every time?

Sorry if this has been answered, but my searching has not turned up this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
are those the only 2 file explorers you use?? I use root explorer and have never seen such an oddity as you say.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
Yes, those two...But, also, when I tried to browse from CWM to find a zip file in that same directory, it was not shown in my sdcard, so I could not flash it. Maybe if I tried several times it might work.

I installed root browser light. Now the file seems more stably in /mnt/emmc/. I also could browse and see it in CWM recovery browsing. So, either, it is sporadic inconsistent behavior, as I thought, or my senility. When I tried to back up my stable rom in ROM Manager, it crashed, which is what had troubled me about this issue.

Then required several wipes/permission fixes to return to stability.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
Rom manager is no bueno for our phone .. its a great app . But backup with Titanium backup and just use cwm too.. not rom manager..that's probably your whole issue right there... if I understood u right anyway.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
Thanks, but is the difference between accessing ROM mgr or cwm, whether you use the app or the power/low volume key?

I use titanium to back up apps, but also my backup root.

I guess there is no point in backing up my current ROM anyway since it's trivial to rebuild with your tools.

I'm just limited in my capacity to optimize tweaking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
When you boot into Recovery mode via Rom Manager, you use it's boot image which is version 5.0.2.0 (take note of the version when you boot into it). When you boot into Recovery Mode via the power buttons, you use whatever version of CWM that you have installed (in my case it's 5.0.2.8).
