Yah sure, I only directly attached it so you have everything you need for conversion :) it doesn't matter which version of 1.3.1 kernel you flash but you need to flash one of the 2 after restoring backup. the boot.img is also the same as in ext3 edition of v3.8 ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
Is the attached kernel zip the same as the one I downloaded 2 days back from the media fire folder :confused: ??

Hmmm.. The size of the boot.img file attached is soo much smaller than the one in the nandroid backup :sly:
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
That's normal, nandroid backup always generates fat boot.img files while android kitchen makes smaller ones ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
woow mind blowing rom buttry smooth :):)
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Good! Thanks, Man...

I'll try this, but to me everything is perfect ... do it just to see if everything runs well and report the situation.

Already now take this opportunity to say that after installing this latest update #EXT3# had problems with the recovery from the previous backup, which was done in EXT4, but flashing back to it again and instal all apps since the beginning ... one by one ufffff ...! ...

Laborious but I got a CLEAN install, eheheheh.

I leave some pictures of my EXT3 and EXT4 backups ... thankfully ... I like to keep everything ehehehehehehh.

Hi,

I have my O2x for 1 week and have been using cyanogen mod 7.2 stable ROM with no issues, but i read many good reports and reviews about this Gueste2x ROM. How do you compare this to the one i'm using?

I flashed and tested thousands of ROMs with other devices but i'm tired now, and just wanted to know the opinion of you guys who own your O2x for a longer time than I do.

I want a ROM w/out LG/operator trash, in wich virtually everything works, with fair battery life and, if possible, really fast and smooth

Thanks and sorry for my english

Stefan, excuse my silly problem, 8 replace my SD card with a clean one for apply the mount tweak without loose my media files, but after reboot my theme lost his icons and style of the status bar and I can't return :'( here is a screenshot
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
OMG. You were not replying to my msgs so I went to check in explorer if my pics and videos were really there or a gallery bug.

Bro all my pics and videos are deleted :( I asked you before flashing and you confirmed it wont wipe them and now I lost all my stuff :banghead:

I ll try some recovery software hope to get them back .

What is strange is that it only deleted pics and video.

Lesson learned always backup even ext SD content :banghead:
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
Try stephan's ROM .Its bleeding edge cm7 based with some useful LG apps (not all r bad) . Everything works except for may be video calling (I think only stock ROm supports ) . And its has all the other capabilities you asked for .. Cheers

[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
@all LG ICS theme users: The optional mounting-tweaks reset the selected theme to lg stock theme - open theme chooser app and select "Cyanbread". Then reboot. Done :)

Sorry I can't give support and answer 24/7 - if you flash the ROM as it is, it does NOT delete any of your media files. IF you decide to use a mounting tweak (which is optional) which you have obviously done, there are CLEAR warnings on two of the 4 mounting tweaks which delete media files on one of the 2 SDs when they are applied

1) [B][!NOT RECOMMENDED!][/B] [LG Stock] LG_Stock_InternalSDAsMain_externalSDAsSubfolder.zip
[B][images and media files on EXTERNAL SD will for sure get lost if you use this mounting tweak][/B]
------------------------------------
Internal: /mnt/sdcard
External: /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD

2) [B][!NOT RECOMMENDED!][/B] [LG Stock Inverted] Mount_ExternalSDAsMain_internalSDAsSubfolder.zip
[B][images and media files on INTERNAL SD will probably get lost if you use this mounting tweak][/B]
------------------------------------
Internal: /mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD
External: /mnt/sdcard

3) [Hybrid v3.7 Default, Recommended] InvertedCyanogenmod_Mount-internalSD_asMain.zip
------------------------------------

External: /mnt/emmc

4) [CM7 Default] CyanogenMod_Stock_SD_Mount_externalSD_asMain.zip
------------------------------------
Internal: /mnt/emmc
External: /mnt/sdcard

Mounting tweaks 3&4 are fine, 1&2 delete media files on one SD. All mounting tweaks are optional, if you don't use any nothing can happen.

Sorry for your loss, but this has been discussed many times and this warnings are included in the official release changelog of v3.8
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Thanks, by the way did the ext3 "conversion" without full wipe work? If yes I link the posting in OP.
[LG Optimus 2x] daas88:
I'm sorry to read that, there are moments that can't be repeated to take pictures of them again :(

I advise you to install Google+ and set it to automatically upload your pictures, I set it to do it when there's Wi-Fi and the phone is charging, so there's no undesired battery/MBs/money drain

[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Well, for now I'm doing the backup recovery EXT4, retrieved via "Stefan Gündhör" to EXT3, and everything is going perfectly.

Only the recovered file "date", because I had installed the ROM EXT4, not installed Kernel advised by "Stefan Gündhör" and everything went smoothly ... is PERFECT!

Now I'll try doing the full recovery of Backup transformed...

For now Thanks for another Good Tip "Stefan Gündhör"!...
[LG Optimus 2x] Andrija231:
Question

Why I lose my network when I run *797# (on v3.8 and v3.7) ? I lose network and airoplane mode doesnt do anything. I then tried to reinstall system and wipe but nothing, I still don't have network signal. When I reflash some other system (django manouche) I get my network back. I had this problem on v3.7 also.

Why is that?
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Did you try installing getril frm playstore...and trying to install a matching ril with your baseband?
[LG Optimus 2x] CarnageHimura:
Tnx Stefan!! This release is awesome, It feels like a new phone!!
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
No luck with that mate. The phone was stuck on boot . Wiping didn't help either .Strangely I notice the FS of /data and /cache is ext3 during recovery , but gets mounted as ext4 after boot .I have a feeling we need to run mke2fs & tune2fs scripts and may be you need the complete boot.img from the nandroid backup . Just my feeling :rolleyes: . I could have tried mke2fs & tune2fs from recovery adb shell ,but I didn't find a way to revert back to ext4 from recovery ( I cant afford to brick my phone ATM ) :eek: ..

I've now reverted back to the backup of initial 3.8 ROM with the gueste kernel . I don't mind trying this exercise after a few days though ( As long as there is a lazy option to do so ) .
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Thanks for the feedback, so you did exactly what I wrote? If so I will remove the content of my posting. Then in order to change to ext3 fullwipe is just necessary...
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
Yup same steps . I'm wondering how a fresh full-wipe install is different from running the updater scripts (mke2fs & tune2fs ) & restoring from nandroid , other than the fact that the ROM is freshly installed ? How does the system know during boot time if its ext 3/4 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
"Stefan Gündhör", as I had the opportunity to say already in my post # 2209 , I changed EXT4 to EXT3 backups followed your tips ... WORKED PERFECTLY! ...

I did not the second recovery, as I said in my post because I did not find the need to do so, because I knew that if everything had gone well.

Now I leave some images for the steps to take to install the ROM via CWM and also what to do when you need to retrieve a backup (just the file "data"), after making a ROM update completely clean.

When you want to retrieve the full backup select "restore" (NOT "advanced restore") and select the Backup you want to recover, following the steps indicated by the device ... simple eheheheheh.

=================

CLEAN installation

CAUTION: Images of installing the ROM refer to a clean installation!

Whoever wants to do an install / update the same ROM just do "wipe cache partition" ... "dalvick wipe cache" and eventually "wipe battery stats"
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Stefan I didn't flashed any mount tweak just flashed your 3.8 ext3 over 3.8 ext4. That's why I m worried why it deleted my pics and videos :(
[LG Optimus 2x] yarisd4dturbo:
Your rom with stock kernel had some reboot, i change it with your 1.3.1 kernel but compiled with gueste toolchain and all it's ok. Fyi ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Andrija231:
Yes I installed v20i I think. I'll try again and see then. Should I try different ril?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
But that can't possibly delete your media files :( Flashing the ext3 version doesn't touch the sd cards at all and I've tested many times and the other users don't report such a problem without using the 2 affected mount tweaks either...

One more explaination: Did you use a mount tweak on the previously installed v3.8 normal edition?

Hope you will get all or most of your files back!

Try flashing v20h baseband that's bb 0725 its the most stable bb with cm roms and mostly all roms
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
The only manner to possibly wiping SD card is when a system file was on EXT4, then flash an EXT3 ROM without conversion and reboot. You will be stuck at the boot and all your file will be deleted.

Sent 2X faster with my LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Andrija231:
I already have 0725 bb. Installed again downloaded different ril but again I lost network :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
I've now on my own phone SU660 BB 420 & RIL 1120 + NITZ timezone fix (from temasek ROM first posting)

Working great so far here in Austria after many crappy BBs :good: Let's see how battery performs.
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
No Stefan I never flashed any thing else then Rom since I joined your hybrid. Don't know why and when it deleted my files. Maybe they got deleted on 3.7 and I didn't noticed :(

Please do report about your new BB Ril combination in couple of days. As you I have that network lost issue too. Mostly when I use stock SMS app or couple of other app who use internet. Really wiered.
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:
Nice to see you've followed my Recommendation.:cool:

Have i promised too much?:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Man you must have experienced a very rare bug then because that's very unusual - it shouldn't have happened and it is upsetting that it did happen. Sorry again.

Yeah I will report, usually when I use CM7 my phone needs 5 minutes AFTER reboot to get network/data connection. Today with the new BB + RIL & after applying the NITZ fix I was able to boot the phone the first time with instant data connection after entering SIM unlock code.:good:

We will see how it further behaves.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Yeah it was your recommendation indeed :good::cool: Looks good so far!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
I like the last screenshot most :D

Thanks! (Personally for a clean full-wipe I only perform "wipe data/factory reset" because that already wipes /system, /data and /cache and as dalvik cache and battery stats are located somewhere in these partitions, they will be wiped automatically as well)

I have bad news. Files are overwritten by nandroid backup and auroa GPS files :( can't.recover pics and video of my 2 years old. I feel so stupid I don't know why I didn't saved them on PC there were some memorible videos of her. I feel so bad right now :(.

I think delete thing must have accured in 3.7 .

It is not your fault Stefan it is me who was stupid to not save them in PC what if I would have lost or got stolen my phone. So I learned the lesson in hard way.
[LG Optimus 2x] s3nr1:
Aww did you remove the CM APN list from the rom? I do a little bit of traveling and usually the apns are automatically added every time I switch SIM cards.

I guess I'll restore and backup the apns with some app first then flash this again. But I'd like to know why you removed it from a CM based ROM when even most GB ROMs uses CM APNs.

But great work like always.:good:

I'm currently using the ext4 version of the rom (3.8) and as I feel a bit lazy to install this one now, could anybody tell me if you have seen a noticeable improvement in performance and/or battery life?

[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
Same question here. I'm more interested in battery life.. I don't think performance can improve further.. Its already darn good
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Hi I replaced CM APN list by Stock APN list because some users had connection problems which were fixed by using stock list. You can just replace the file in /system/etc/ with the original one from temasek 135.2: http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/76872709/file.html

By the way yesterday I wrote I use

now. Just have to say with this BB battery life is

terrible

on my phone in my country. Dammit why can't I find a good BB? 218 seems to be the only one for me which is providing good battery but I have connection problems with it. Guess I have to keep trying more different BBs -.-

Hello there! Just installed your rom 1d ago and it feels great. I'm about to test it with more options. So far every google apps from store are working correctly. Only one reboot while taking pictures. Phone and mobilenetwork signals are ok tho im still using stock ril after preinstalling official gb back. And then flashed this rom. Some calls wont start and sometime when it connects to whom i call, i cant hear contacts voise but he/she can hear mine. After calling again it works again. I've had this problem before few times and it bugs me a little. Usb works great also wifi and wifi tether works fine. Also no problems with bluetooth.

Keep it up! You are doing great work! I wish i could donate but i'm kinda broke right now so :/ maybe later
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Glad you like it :)

Sounds like kinda BB/RIL problem?

Don't worry, save your money, donations are always optional and not required, I don't need them per se :) I'd do the same without them - sure I could even completely disable donate-button & link but I think it doesn't hurt if the possibility is given in general.

Come on guys!! I'm astonished with your battery duration!! I don't complaint because I think I'm already used to "my numbers" jeje when I was lucky my battery lasts 10-11 hours... I will post a snapshot when reach the 15% ^^, I really don't know what is the problem...
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Stefan, i assume you've tried 313,the 20c bb, for me it had good connection where it broke down with 20s(some say they are equal), it connect fast and are reliable, but I'm a bit more north though. Anyway, 218 are good, just wanted to share in case... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
Depends how much you are using your phone, do post the screenshot. :)

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Me too. I am in a different place too but the three of us are close-ish. :)

What ril do you use, do you match it when using CM? I found using V20c BB and 218 ril better for GPS than matching the ril to BB (in CM).
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Just happy with this rom.....

Never crossed more than 2 .20hours of screen time on any other rom thanks setfan
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
It can cross 3 hours
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
I wanna try one more thing when I'm free. If I patch the 3.8 ext4 ROM zip with the updater-script of ext3 would it yield the same results. Do I have to patch boot.img as well ? I'm thinking of recovering /data and flashing kernel again after doing that .

On a slightly different note could you point me to the info relating to power saving benefits of ext3 over ext4 .I don't seem to find any conclusive info regarding that, I only see folks talking about performance benefits of ext4 .

Cheers

Another self answered question. Sorry for spamming. I feel so dumb. lol
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Usually I run stock, but this 313 bb I find suitable for both cm and stock. I usually don't use gps, idk :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Hello Stefan.

Good job you have done here, very good :). Temasek have done very good job with his build too.

This is the first cm which I wanted to have on my phone more than a day :).

With previous v3.8 I have experienced some reebots (not so important) and a phone not working after ~12h of using (people was calling me, but I have not received calls or notifications - very important). Maybe bb&ril thing.

Now at v3.8 ext3, very nice. No problems so far (24h). Only problem is a battery. It last for ~12h, when on stock based roms have been up for ~48h with same usage. I have been trying various bb&rils and found that combination which gives me good sound is taking me much battery.

Please, users, write your bb&ril combo (for Europe :p), which you have find to work ok and taking much battery, so I can try it (if I not done it already).

Thanks. (And thanks Stefan for your effort, it makes me to go and learn how to theme in cm, never tried that, :o, just before it, I want to find a good battery combo).
[LG Optimus 2x] buedi:
Does anyone has a clue how to set this?

Btw.: After 1 day of heavy use my mobile and that from my GF is still pretty snappy - also this ROM (I'm on ext 4 version)/kernel is def. the fastest I had on my mobile. So I hope you'll keep the smoothness with future kernel-releases. Battery comsumption is also good.
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
I have always found CM roms/kernels surprisingly bad for battery life, even idle (with no data/wifi etc) the battery is draining badly...until Stefans kernels came along.

I have already mentioned that I use 313 BB with 218 ril but I have also tried 218 BB with 218 RIL, V10d with V10d and found them ok too. Doesn't seem to make much difference for call quality or battery life, it's all good.
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Me too.

Will try v10d bb&ril, havent tried that yet. I have the best sound with su660 bb/ril, but it is not battery friendly.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
+1

think it's mainly based on the location where you live - for Austria for example it's hard to find a good CM7 BB
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
Not a CM thing but... for a long time I used your "Goodbye" rom which was a good rom (!) but the suggested V20m BB to use with it was awful for me, lol. Terrible call quality, it's weird how it varies. Also, V20s BB with stock roms kills my battery and I get no gps unless I flash the fix.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Yeah it's sad that I had to discontinue it, but it was a Hybrid as well and I coudln't find the reason for the random reboots most of the users experienced :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
I didn't have any, I used it for about 6 months solid, lol. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dwg_priest:

I can confirm that behaviour.

I'm on 3.8 and installed V10b 218 BB/Ril. It takes ages switching from 3G to 2G, I didn't have that problem, with 0521 BB that comes with 20s, but due to battery drain i decided to give 218 BB a try.

I guess, i will switch back to 0521 :fingers-crossed:

BTW, this is definitly the best ROM I've seen on P990, Stefan :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
You maybe want to try apns-conf.xml from original temasek ROM, as in this ROM I included the one from Stock ROM. Soon I will provide an APN-switching-package for CWM.

Have been running 3.8v EXT3 with symbi0sis 1.3.1 guestekernL TC and baseband 0420 (SU660) with matching RIL (according to GetRIL). This is the resault(see screenshot). Only lost 4-5% during 7h at night with everything on (3G, sync and so on)

So now I have two question. Could one BB drain less in standby than another BB but drain more when in use than the same one? And does BB affect WiFi and GPS?

Sorry if any of the questions are stupid. just ignore them if they are:P

Edit: btw the screen on time is mostly gaming with both cores 1ghz. Was bored today:P
