[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Hey guys! I 've been trying out this ROM on my G2x since last night, guess that makes me an early adopter, too =]

Anyways, I noticed that it isn't quite as snappy as the GB versions of EG. I'm not complaining, just making an observation. Does this perhaps have to do with drivers and whatnot? I'm still in the dark about the whole NVidia and LG thing. Until I saw this thread, as far as I knew, ICS wasn't working on the G2, at least not via CM9, from what I read, anyway.

Overall, the experience has been lovely. Aside from that annoying issue with Picasa and my Google+ and all that. Big headache, but I managed to get it to behave the way I wanted... by freezing the Google+ app and whatnot.

One thing I would like to bring up - I am experiencing HORRIBLE issues with Google Maps. Not sure what's going on, but the map will often just disappear, I won't be able to see anything. Going home and opening the app again can sometimes fix it, or sometimes not. It seems the more activity there is going on in the app, the more unstable it gets. Even the Nav drops off - while it seems the GPS will continue working, and all the directions will continue narrating as you drive, there's no image. Its very weird. I can't even pinch zoom or navigate the map very well, its very unstable.

Anybody know of a workaround? Is this GMaps early instability with ICS? Or a problem with the ROM/G2x?

Anyways, just wanted to contribute - I love what you guys have done, i'm so excited to tell everyone about my phone. I can't tell you how stoked I am to just use my phone for no reason. I don't know if its me or if its real, but I feel like i'm noticing a definite improvement on battery performance. More on this as it develops!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theonetruecoco:
You can lock screen and unlock its a gmap issue not rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] inpherno3:
Awesome

Never knew or heard about the face unlock feature.... its pretty bad ass. Facial recognition to unlock your phone? I think next step is just to get assimilated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Its a cool feature but a little slower and does not work in the dark.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deadstyle:
Full wipe, wipe everything, then flash again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dEris:
And the front facing camera isn't perfectly lined up. You have to tilt the camera to the right for it to get your face. At least on both of my G2x's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
I just read the entire thread, so i'm sorry if I rehashed any known bugs and set off a collective rolling of the eyes lol.

I'm excited about these builds, its doing awesome, I actually used it to show off to the Store Manager at the flagship T-Mobile store in NYC (I had an interview) and he was totally impressed. I told him how I stay up on all the latest =P

Somebody mentioned something that I thought was a good question that never was answered - why is it ill-advised to use Rom Manager??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
You can use rom-manager for everything but actually flashing the rom ...since it can't actually access the CWM recovery you have on the phone that was put there by nvflash.

So download, then reboot and use CW recovery to flash the zips.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

I'm going to be more like a helper for Doniqcc. I can build the rom merge git changes and make my own or provide patches. But i intend to mostly bugfix. I know C/C++ and can deal with java. And over 15 years of experience with linux .

The main idea is that 4 eyes on the code will help get new releases out faster and with less regressions. And I like EB (both the gingerbread and ICS) and would like to help make it better more than I want to get lost in the sea over at CM.

We are getting things setup for dual developers this weekend and things will get rolling after he gets build2 out the door.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Hmm...

I'm confused, the version CWM I have on my phone is actually the latest iteration flashed by the Rom Manager itself. And i'd have the touch version, too, if it were supported on the G2x. Lastly, that's how I installed the first build to begin with. I had the Gingerbread version, and RM push notified me that there was an update. So, I authorized the download, it downloaded, and I was able to preset all the wipes necessary for a ROM flash. The phone rebooted, and CWM 5.x got busy doing its work. The only time I needed to manually manipulate recovery was when I wanted to flash the ICS GApps zip file later.

EDIT: Let me rephrase my question (and maybe this was the other person's original question, restated) It says to never flash recovery via the app. But I do that, and have been doing that since I rooted (and even when I used my HTC G2)

Why is this advised against? Is it a risk of brick resulting error? Wouldn't that risk be just as present as with a USB ADB flash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
the problem most people (and maybe they have fixed something in the latest rom manager) is that rom manager _Cant_ flash recovery, it can't really access it.

Now obviously since you have done that and things are working via rom manager, these instructions may be obsolete. Those that have been doing it since they weren't haven't bothered to try with the later updates to rom manager.

So i guess the real question is, can you flash recovery with rom manager and turn the phone off, and then boot to recovery? without having fist booted to the rom? That is the _real_ reason why rom manager wasn't ever trusted. But yea, if you have successfully flashed new roms with it, i'm sure doniqcc will update the instructions. Just none of the older users have bothered to try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
You mean turn the phone off, then hold -VOL+PWR and boot into recovery? Yes. Besides opting to boot into recovery when shutting down via the ROM, isn't that the only way to do it?

I've never once experienced a single issue with Rom Manager or CWM. The closest thing to a problem was when I first flashed 5.x onto my G2x... the changelog noted that there MIGHT be issues experienced by some users because v5 was new and experimental. However, I ran into no issues, and the later iterations have long since dropped "intermittent bugs" from their need-to-knows.

I got & rooted my G2x in the beginning of November. I've been doing things the Rom Manager + CWM way since then. And this is the first time i'm ever hearing there having been issues with booting into recovery or flashing ROMs using these two, so I promise I wasn't being stubborn. I thought it was because of possible bricking errors during the flash process. When I flash via the app, it says to hop onto Wifi for best results. Maybe an interruption of service could corrupt the flash and kill your phone? But couldn't the same apply to a USB flash?

I've flashed newer versions to my recovery on my G2x several times already, so its no fluke.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
i've personally seen it not behave correctly and it wasn't even an older version. Have you used rom manager to flash a new recovery ? As far as i know that's the main issue with rom manager and nvidia based phones. The instructions to not use rom manager for flashing this rom is probably stemming from that. When rom manager can get out of sync with the recovery's cwm version and no longer communicate correctly with it.

But since you've been fine using it, these instructions are likely a leftover from the past that can be removed.

I personally do things manually in cwm. But i do use rom manager to download gapps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Yes, lol, i've used RM to flash my recovery several times already. Maybe around 7. Once or twice I accidentally flashed on top of an already current version, but just let it rock for good measure.

Maybe RM fixed these issues? I don't know, it sounds to me they come from a long long time ago, since no one has bothered to try recently. I guess just make sure you're running the lastest? But then again, shouldn't you always?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
at least on phones with locked bootloaders, rom manager will not correctly flash any recovery. But it will corrupt the bootloader and soft-brick your phone. This kind of lack of error detection may be the reason why the wariness of using it to actually flash anything is so strong. just a thought anyway. If it works now it works now, so now we know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Okay, well at least I know there are more risks present.

Anyways, I get some FCs with Google Books. The FCs are random, much like the flickering of the Maps. Is this a CM9 issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
Hellfire is a LOT smoother than this rom, but this is the first build, so can't complain. I guess whoever's using this rom is using it as a beta tester because Hellfire pretty much outdoes EB in any way right now. And there are quite a few bugs.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Oh, and is it just me or my video camera on the EaglesBlood rom keeps crashing? That's what made me switch back to Hellfire, I need to use the camera.

You need to do more reading... :-/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
I just came back from a 9 hour job, do you really want me to read through 40 something pages?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] un.droid:
Once you wipe everything as instructed by don, the cam will work for you (not video rec, but only stills). btw its not EB issue but the whole CM9 based roms, if i am not mistaken.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
You mean Hellfire as in Phoenix, not Sandwich, correct? Cause... I don't think anyone has video camera working. Seems a bit unfair to compare alpha ICS to a somewhat seasoned GB rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kompheak:
Yes!!!! Didn't mean for it to come out that way... get your rest... its not going to get any easier in life...

Its a known issue... 9hrs is nothing... :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
If you use the app, "Videocam Illusion," then video recording works perfect! Try it and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deadstyle:
Well, you could have started by reading the OP, where you would have found the FAQ page which would have listed the camera as a known issue, but a troll doesn't do that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dark_intel:
K so I gave my dumb gf my g2x because I got the galaxy s2 x. So I've still been tinkering with it for her. Got this Rom from day 1. Its awesome. Cool, guess what... She lost it last night, I didnt even put lookout or anything on it. Does this rom have anything stock for finding or remote wiping?? Im not familiar with ics obviously, what about entering the wrong password. Because I set facelock and pattern lock. Anyway thanks for the help guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
No its nothing stock in the rom to track anything. After several incorrect attempts to unlock the phone via facelock or pattern. The phone will either lock up to where the Gmail password is required. Or the it'll perform factory data reset.

Idk what you guys are complaining about as far as battery. Even though I'm using an extended battery my battery life is amazing! After 17 hours of heavy usage its still at 60%. I have my processor at 503/1100 and a screen off at 503/503. No lag locking and unlocking at all! This rom should have came stock! Its crazy to think Tmobile is charging the same for this phone and a sgs4g and mytouch4g.

(stop F5ing)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
no idea on the ETA for build2 ... lots of stuff going on behind the scenes and re-building the rom takes a while.

The main problem is that many of the updates going on in cm9 have temporarily made many important features broken or more unstable. So lots of stuff had to be reverted for now. Fun stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
Download "Plan B" from the market. It's from the makers of Lookout. You may have to Google it first to find out how to use it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nodyarg:
from what he was saying it sounds like the phones already gone so its too late for that solution. maybe he can call whoever stole it and ask them to download plan b
[T-Mobile LG G2x] renocivik:
You can install it from the web... it basically pushes it to the device when it has connectivity... I believe. Hence the name... plan b

video illusion is working for me on cm9
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
I think I may have found a potential bug. There was a lot going on today, so I was doing a lot of simultaneous tasks on my phone, which was handled pretty gracefully, I have every faith coming builds will be much smoother and eventually perfectly butter.

Anyways, I was trying to upload a photo onto my Facebook whilst using the FB Messenger app which was using my GPS to track my location at the time of my posts. It seemed that the GPS and Facebook uploader started to lock things up, data wise. The photo stopped loading, Gmail failed to refresh, nothing was connecting, and the hotel did have WiFi, but I needed to have a room number to do it (and it wasn't until later that I met the manager and asked for the password for the staff Wifi) so I didn't bother trying, but I should have hopped on the network just to see if it would work.

I tried a battery pull, on reboot the data seemed to crawl. I couldn't cancel the upload, and the pic was only 200kb, so it was painful. When it finally uploaded, things started working again, and once I got that message out of messenger, everything was normal.

I'll see if I can replicate this, its possible that the data network in that part of NYC was just straining for those moments, though it was very fishy timing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Noticed something interesting: changing between WiFi + Sync to no-wifi and no-sync has a more-than-usual effect on battery life.

What I am saying is that while with WIfi and Sync I get 10 hours, without these two I get 2 days !!!!

What this might suggest is that WiFi or Sync are "bugging", causing an unusual spyke in battery consumption.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Now when you say Sync, you mean for all the accounts on your phone? Even your Google account so there is no push to any of your apps?

Isn't WiFi supposed to be nice to batteries? Since your phone doesn't have to constantly ping towers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Yeah wifi is easier on battery than data, as long as you turn off wifi when leaving an access point.

Has anyone tried using rom toolbox in this build? I attempted to install new battery icon and it appeared to go well. However, after the reboot nothing has changed.

Edit: font installer does not work either.. from toolbox may not be compatible with ICS. That is unless somebody knows of a fix...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey! I used ROM Toolbox to change my battery Icon to Honeycomb style and first it gave a bunch of errors and I accepted to continue installation. Then I rebooted and lost the battery icon all together. I then reinstalled the icon and after the second reboot, the icon appeared. Not too sure why it required 2 installs...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lawdawg45238:
OK.. I tried installation and rebooting like you did, twice. No go for me. Not a deal breaker by any means.. just a novel toy for the phone when rom toolbox is working.

As a side note, when I used titanium back up I tried a couple different methods. The first time I had it install apps and data and system data. This resulted is random FC issues. When I only had titanium restore the apps and data and personally populated the system data .. I haven't had any issues. At least not any issues which aren't already discussed in the first couple pages of this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Yeah, guaranteed problems if you restore system data between different Android versions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
Agreed that's one of the top three ways to the issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lawdawg45238:
OK.. now for a stupid question. Good news is I actually read the thread and didn't see this asked already..

After updating to ICS... when I usb connect to my laptop my computer does the whole "found new hardware " thing and asks where to find the drivers.. there is always two if them. I remember that one of them is about MTP. I am ready to be mildly berated as long as it is accompanied by a good answer.

Also I have seen talk about dolphin and opera browser. Has anybody had any luck with them being less buggy than the stock browser? I am open to suggestions on which one is working more successfully with this build.

Thanks guys!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmwOtis:
Opera Mini works great with Hellfire ICS so you should give it a try on EaglesBlood. No bugs that I have discovered.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kev0153:
I had to turn off usb debugging in order for my windows xp machine to mount my phone as a MTP device.

And I had to install an update for windows XP in order for MTP to work right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I'm not sure because I didn't test out the ICS roms too much, but I think people have been having USB connectivity problems. And as long as there is no media acceleration there will be problems with any browser, force closes for dolphin and opera doesn't even try to open.

I've heard that the new Chrome beta from the market works well, but people had to edit their build prop to download it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Slightly different camera issue.

Does anyone's camera... lag? Like I can move the phone around and the view on the screen is lagged by like 4-5 seconds(maybe a little more).

It's almost like watching a video of it.

If the solution is a full wipe, well... I'll deal for now.

I posted this in the arcee thread as well, cause I think I've experienced it with both, but just wondering if anyone has encountered it on this rom as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Happened to me when I tried a camera using app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
The Lag is caused by the Lack of Drivers that most Manufacturers do not want to give!

All CM9 ROMs

have Camera issues and this will only be solved either by someone stealing the Drivers from

LG

OR we wait for the

Official ICS release

and Doniqcc rips the

.apk

out of there as well as the

Drivers

and basically save us all :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Oh.

Cause sometimes it's perfectly fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
Well, that's simply good luck :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
we will have to wait until third quarter till the o2x gets ics ...maybe even next year.

Until then the only way to deal with driver support is to port over portions of gingerbread and create a little hybrid gingerbread / ICS rom that supports the framework of ICS but interacts more with the hardware in a gingerbread fashion. This is basically what is currently being done in CM9. Things that aren't available are just taken from gingerbread (cm7) and hacked to link with the rest of CM9.

As far as media acceleration not working..... I dont think that is really why many browsers fail. I think that mostly has to do with poor ICS support and lack of testing leading to various bugs and crashes.

our ics has GL acceleration just fine. And the browsers aren't crashing due to any sort of video overlay issues, they dont render pages with video codecs.

even though ics has been available to develop on for a while, without the phones to test it on it's basically not going to get solid for quite some time.

That being said, the constant crashing (just no-error closes) of browsers is making ICS a non-daily user for me. I went back to EB 2.8 for everyday use. I'm eager to get into the new EB ics code though, which should be soon. Then maybe help tackle the problems that make using it too annoying for daily use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Slomo5793:
is the faux kernel build 5 working for everyone else? its not working for me

and yea, i wipe everything before installing it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
kernels dont need anything but dalvik cache wiped prior to install. That's it.

edit:

And i was using it for about 10 minutes in my own cm9 build. It worked as much as any of the previous ones. I doubt you'll see much improvement over b4. b4 however, is a nice improvement over previous due to the touchscreen sensitivity fixes.

You're not likely to see much of any change at all in terms of kernel compared to EB 2.8 with faux because the cm9 faux kernel is like 99% the same as gingerbread. It has to be because we wouldn't be able to load all the outdated obsolete drivers LG loaded on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Slomo5793:
wow

i always wiped cache, dalvik, batt stats, and fixed permissions before installing a kernel

it didnt work...

ive been using this rom without a kernel

maybe that has something to do with it?

i'll try backing up and reinstalling the rom and the kernel right after. maybe that'll work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
WHY DON'T THEY WANT TO GIVE THEM? I mean, why not? What's their agenda in this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
battery stats has nothing at all to do with the kernel.

cache has nothing at all to do with the kernel.

permissions doesn't touch anything that has to do with the kernel.

Those are all system items. The kernel is independent in that it doesn't utilize cache and it removes any old kernel modules (the only thing it does require) prior to putting it's new ones (if any).

Dalvik cache is needed to be cleared because the dalvik compiler has a kernel based backend and this may change with kernel revisions.

I like the data limit capability in the new faux kernel
