Just working out the kinks on my 1.7 HF install.

Since its day one...I followed the install steps closely...I nullified twice.

I got most of my apps back and at least they open.

I get sporadic process stopping (may linked to Wifi calling app?). I had an issue receiving phone calls, my primary number is my google voice number and My phone number forwards to it..I did not have the settings under system, but under the phone app. I think its working, but have not tested it for reliability enough.

I am curious about battery performance, but hope to have that detail by tomorrow morning, as I let the battery drain over night in static mode (not being actively used).

I did have to uninstall/reinstall Gmail...as I could not send emails, only receive.

The Gmail settings now are global, as opposed to be local to my personal and my work gmail accounts, eg. "Reply to All", other options.

Android updating...when I boot to recovery, wipe dalvic, fix partitions. I keep trying to do to clean up the process stopping issue. What is being updated?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nagpalbhuvan:
True man, does seem to be a difficult task to accomplish, and would probably have to become a living-tree kind of a solution that is updated and tweaked by testers, moderators on a regular basis depending on their own tests and users' inputs.

As of now, what I'm thinking is "how to put everything in a table that makes some sense to anyone looking at it".

Thanks for reminding me of kernel though. :P

I've thought of widening the scope to make this worth the time/effort. Widening the scope in the sense that Rather than just app errors, I'd include rom's internal issues as well along with links to their solutions; custom tweaks that the rom dev has provided and so on.

(Of course, I may miss a lot of problems but will give editing access to rom testers so that they can add more issues with resolutions as and when they find/solve them.)

Benefit for users: 1 stop shop for issues and solutions. Possibly for all ICS ROMS in some time.

Benefit for testers: streamlined access to identified rom issues, app based issues they can check if have been solved before releasing a new rom.

Benefit for devs: they may possibly be able to identify common threads/links between apps to find hidden problems with their roms.

Benefit to most-helping people: if any known issue is asked about, just paste the link to a file and people would slowly start to first check the issues' database and then ask.

In simple terms, no more thread-hunting to find issues/resolutions.

So, with that in mind, I'll probably think a lil more about the best way to make the info available and then post it in a day or two.

To me, it seems like when you installed the rom {after nullifying}, it went through really fast. Did it? Did it take less than 1 minute for installing rom, not including time to install gapps, or nullifying?

My suggestion would be to use the "Dual wipe" zip for nullifying, and install rom twice {sometimes it goes through fast and doesn't install properly}, then gapps etc.

{Wouldn't know about google voice as primany number issue since I'm in canada, and woouldn't want to be charged international for local calls... lol}
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samstheman42:
I remember seeing someone mention that they couldn't figure out how to enable the "long press back button to kill app" feature in this build, and I have to admit I just spend a ton of time re-figuring it out myself.

So, for my own future reference, and for anyone else that may look for it, the process is as follows:

Settings > Developer Options > check "Kill app back button" at the bottom of the list
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I've been getting more frequent data drops, too. If 4.0.4 is such an issue with data, but why not just stick with 4.0.3? Is there that much of an improvement that the data drops are worth it? I honestly kind of want to hop back down to 1.4, too. I don't remember having any problems back when I ran that version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samstheman42:
It's called "Widget Locker" by TeslaCoil. Turns out, that wasn't the problem. I have things working the way that I like them now and just finished a backup a little while ago, so I'm not expecting any more issues, and if they arise I can always just restore to this point without too much worry.

Thanks for the brainstorming efforts though :-)

I just got an error that it cannot connect to the camera. I am runing HFS 1.1. Rebooted and its back and working now. Anyone else having issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I don't have that option !!!!! Are you sure it's under Display?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
Your right except the man asking the question isn't the dev of the KANG in question.. our dev is awesome enough to dot his I's and cross his T's.. you can't just post stuff to this site with out permission.. so yea sorry I wrote words that were deemed unnecessary but haters are haters no matter what anyone does. Hell is a dam fine dev, the PB and HFP rom series he did/does made our g2x be worlds above the other roms that I have personally tried and he don't even have the dev tag yet but give it some time he will... we are all here to help out not talk crap and stray from the hating. So the bottom line is if ya ain't got nothing nice to say don't say n e thing at all.. pm someone... don't broadcast your insinuation....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
Oh, shoot ,sorry man. I'm running arcee's self kang 2. I'm sure hell has got his hands all over it by now, but if you have to have this option, you can always flash the sk2. Otherwise, with the way hell works, you probably won't have to wait more than a couple days before he tweaks it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks.

How are U liking the SK2? Did U use Hell's? Compare?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I'm using the launcher now and wow is it fast. Definitely a better replacement to the original. No cons to it yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
Its cool. I might get a new launcher cuz the stock one seems to freeze up a little more than I can tolerate. The force closing isn't as annoying as the fact that it can take so long before I'm given the option to wait or force close. It feels the same, the only differences being the browser problem fixed, battery percentage, and notification light (probably some other little things I'm missing).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Try out the one I quoted from benyben, it runs great with considerably less lag and a ton more customization.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
I'm trying it now, I can't get the Widgets to work though. I put the apk in system/app and installed then rebooted but no go. I'm sure its great, I just gotta do some troubleshooting first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I haven't restarted since installing and Widgets are fine for me. I'm on hfs though, it shouldn't cause an issue but that's the immediate difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gears96:
Is it just me or does Chrome FCs when you click the tab button on the top right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
That's a known issue, you also might still experience a force close when you rotate from portrait to landscape then back to portrait in most browsers. Only browser that works without issue for me is dolphin, you may have a different result.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gears96:
But didn't someone say it was working now?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
That browser issue is fixed in sk2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gears96:
Anyways I love the rom thanks to the dev for making this (Y) :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Blue flames thing is sickkk!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I understand this but we aren't using sk2, its still sk1, so as a result the issue still exists on hfs. Some people have had luck with it not happening but like I mentioned, I still have the issue.

Good to know it'll be fixed in the ear future for us though. Can you use tabs in Google chrome or is that an app issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayroam:
I considered going back to 1.4, but after someone's suggestion, I instead flashed Harsh's latest kernel and data drops are less frequent, but still present with 1.7... I'll probably make a backup of this current setup and flash my 1.4 backup and see which one I like better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jeffro64:
Same here, but i'm hoping 1.8 will be here soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
That's what I'm saying, I never had a data drop on 4.0.3 but 1.4's performance is less than exceptional compared to 1.7. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, go to 1.4 and suffer the slower performance, or go to 1.7 and suffer that data drops. I don't think there's much of a difference between .3 and .4. Other than the data drops. I say go back to 4.0.3, but keep the performance of 1.7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I always stay current with Harsh's latest current. I know data drops are common, it just seems more common now than usual. I've been planning to just do a wipe amd re flash, but between work (36 hours in yhe past three days) and hoping for a 1.8 release, I've just been stalling. I'm at I'll genuinely curious as to why every ICS ROM has moved to 4.0.4 even though everyone acknowledges data jas serious issues.

And a completely unrelated question: is the mew version going to have the theme chooser?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
The beta I have does not have the theme chooser but I could have an older version than what the release will have.

Everyone uses 4.0.4 because that is the most recent source available. There must a significant change that causes the importance of using it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
or it could just be us users screaming for the latest and greatest, bugs be damned!! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Milton515:
I tried that and it didnt work

Neither did this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehumble1:
What happens when you go to account sync? Is google there and if so which items are selected? What happens when you de-select them and re-select them? does the circle spin? does it show errors? You have data fine right? and is your signal bar gre(a)y all the time? I'm wondering if it's connected and running properly or if it's a connection problem that causes it. Might be a long shot, but it seems that it's a system setting or conflict instead of an app corruption.

I may have missed the part where you fixed permissions in CWM, but you could maybe get a log and see if the permissions changed anything (also available in ROM manager), then run it again and see if the same permission is getting changed again, which may mean that another app or system process is switching the permission at boot or shortly after.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I did install the ROM twice, but I had problems with GApps and did that twice..may have caused the problem...and ran dual nullifier, it took ~20 minutes or so.

Most of my calling problems are now gone...when I increased my Modder resolution back to 200 (from 180) and stopped using GO Phone. However, likely related I get sporadic invalid sim card notifications. Since most things have cleared up and I can make and complete outgoing phone calls, not noticed yesterday, I'll let things settle a little more before wiping and reinstalling.

Oh, great news on battery lifetime, a resting time of ~ 50 hrs....which is on par with my best froyo a few months back. More recently it was down to 20 hrs, so this is key.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Milton515:
Yea, everything is there and syncing.... I'm actually using wifi and it still isn't working nor does it work on the network... Yea, I have fixed the permissions using CWM and Rom manager.... But I will try what you suggested and get back to you after it is done

Sent from My $40 Sensation :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehumble1:
I'm also wondering if you don't have bad blocks, a bad download, or another more insidious problem. You've had a couple problems that are idiosyncratic so that might point to it being a problem with the installation or partition. If you can't find an easy fix, I'd think about re-wiping, reformatting all the partitions and then re-installing with a new download. good luck!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nagpalbhuvan:
Aahh... there we go: The phone process's fidgety behaviour could have been because of the lcd density. I believe someone either in this thread or owain's pointed out that 182 is the lowest lcd density for com.android.phone. Yeahh, Go Contacts doesn't play very nice with ICS in my experience either; though it worked great with GB.

50 hours... which kernel are you using? Any under or over-clocking? What's the usage break-down you see on battery settings?

Invalid sim card - do you just get that notification out of the blue/ without doing anything specific; or when you try to access certain settings? (Can't remember where I saw mms server details etc once on my phone, otherwise would have been more specific.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I did the HFS 1.7 clean install only. I played briefly with lcd density, but now have it back at ~240.

My 50 hrs is based on 2%/hr overnight, while sort of in sleep mode...but the G2/G3 setting was not working, still glitchy, not on wifi. I don't know anything about the kernel, so its default.

I'll have to get a battery use breakdown after its been discharging awhile.

The invalid sim card, may be associated with Wifi calling being on?, which is now turned off...I always had it on in Wifi previously, as locked app. Probably trying to use the phone or maybe Tmobile account app?

Registering on Tmobile network is still glitchy...restarts don't always lock on to network and my keep on G2 setting not remembered.

Otherwise, I like my G2X.

Adding Google Play oddities:

Play sometimes shows truncated app counts..I have ~60 apps, but it was showing 25. Now it is back to where it was.

Default auto App update setting in Googleplay is not propagating to the apps. It used to have them all checked, now, some, are unchecked and I manually check them...to make me feel good.

There's the changes to ics 4.0.4, there was a change to the radios. I'm assuming that "better handling" of the 2g/3g toggle is what's causing our data drop issue. If I have good signal my data will stay on 4g and I don't lose Google connection or anything but at work my signal bites and I get complete signal loss at least 5 times a night.

I completely understand bud. Single income here too, wife and 2 kids also. Gotta love the 4-5 hours of sleep a night lol. Take your time, I'm not going anywhere and can/will test whenever you're ready.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
So just noticed this. Often I'll check my phone and my data bars will show empty with a X in it, which would mean no signal or data. I enable airplane mode then disable and signal/data come back. I never bothered to check my data or make a text before while it was like that, I just assumed the bars didn't lie. Well I was wrong. Just now I turned my screen on to see that very thing except I made a phone call, texted my wife and am now on the xda app typing this. All while the bars show no signal.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

The bars just now after maybe 10 minutes turned back on with data connection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jeffro64:
I have noticed that myself a couple of times and wondered if we are really getting data drops every time. Although there are times like with gmail, play store, twitter or facebook that it does say connection lost. So it's hard to say if it is false all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] netsecdude:
Yeah, I've been getting the same thing. If I connect to wifi, I'm fine. If I'm away from that wifi spot, data doesn't pick up and I have to restart the phone. Noticed to that text messages work fine on wifi, but picture messages don't. I have to me connected to t-mobile data to send a picture. It's weird. GetRIL doesn't fix this issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eliporter:
I'm having the exact same problem. Didn't have on 1.6, and if I did I didn't notice it.

so your getting fc on the wifi calling app? or which app? and no I dont use wifi calling any more, but when I did it was working last I tried it... I cant test it for you now as im on hfp beta... sorry
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dizzy21:
I get the com.android.phone error when it becomes active. phone becomes pretty much useless until i turn off the wifi-calling.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] samstheman42:
I had a somewhat similar issue with my gapps where they were working and then randomly started getting screwed up. My question for you is this: after you re-flashed the ROM, did you do a "Restore apps with system data" or just an app restore?

I found that I had reinstalled the probem by restoring the system data, but when I did a fresh install of apps without data, my problems were solved. You may want to do another flash (make sure to use the scrubber in the OP) and then slowly restore your apps in batches (say 5 at a time) in order to focus your search for what might be causing your FC issues. I did it this way and found that I had a couple of apps that were causing problems so I just deleted them and then re-installed them from the market sans additional problems so far.

Give that a try and let us know what happens.

On another note...

I've noticed that when I use my power button to reboot into recovery, it always reverts back to an older version of clockworkmod, but if I use the reboot utility inside of ROManager it goes to the newer one just fine.

Any thoughts on why this might be, as well as how I can remove the old recovery image to permanently replace it with the new one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Sounds like you need to update your recovery with nvflash. Flashing through rom manager is a kind of fake flash, which is why it does the two versions depending on how you get into recovery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
i used this thread to flash the touch recovery (5.8.1.3) over the older one (5.0.2.0) and have never had an issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
+1 to this. and if your going to nvflash it I would recommend to use the

but it comes with a WARNING ** WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SD so be prepared for that... but its a great tool!

How did you manage that? ROManager says that the touch version "isn't available" for my device...?
