backup everything you want,

download the rom,

go into recovery mode,

wipe everything,

go to install from sdcard,

install the rom

then reboot

done

and i really dont think you'd have the same problems, unless they were hardware related

but if you dont want any issues at all, i think it would be best to stick with gingerbread, since this rom is beta/unstable

if im wrong with anything, someone correct me :p

I'd say instead of just sending the rom to basically everyone in the forum, just use that extra post to post Testing builds. It'll save Devs time, and everyone who wants to test a Beta Build will be able to. :D

Thanks, got it running. Everything seems to work great except it wont allow me to sync facebook to my accounts & sync. Anyone else having this issue?

Also, is it necessary to run getRIL? Its telling me my baseband and RIL didn't match, so i downloaded the recommended one.

Well this is weird... I just rebooted and my phone is saying "Android is upgrading..." and it says it's upgrading 110 files. What does this mean o_o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Must be something with ICS. I have been using the unofficial daily from Axel2033 and get this message when I reflash it. Maybe something to do with Gapps for ICS?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] googleme1:
It does this every time you reboot the phone you just don't see it due to the boot animation. I'm not completely sure but I think it is pre-loading and cacheing files for future use. You usually get this when you clear cache and dalvik cache.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
That's interesting, just for ICS roms it does that? Cause I never had it do that on GB after wiping cache and dalvik.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Serious_Beans:
I think that's when it is zipaligning the apps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
only on ICS it does that I have seen.

It's normal , it's optimizing apps every time you install something actually it's a cool feature from Google :cool:

No only when installing/adding stuff
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
right after i installed this, i was in a bad signal area and had no wifi and when the google sync thing started it was taking a long time so i cancelled it. now i dont have any of the apps i loaded before although google sync has been done (gmail, contacts, etc). is there a way to start that over or how do i sync all the apps ive already had installed from when it had gingerbread on it?

one other thing i have noticed is the screen rotation lags a bit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey! So for the first question...technically Google does not back up all of your apps. It does a decent job though but never every app you had before. Also normally Google would not back up the data, such as highscores in games or trophies etc. The best option would have been to use Titanium Backup as it fully backs your Apps including the data, and you can save on Bandwidth as you do not need to download all the apps again :D

As for the Orientation from Portrait to Lanscape, even though we currently have Hardware Acceleration, it is not perfect yet, as well as the Gyroscope/Accelerometer have not been optimized, so we have to wait patiently :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
well when i did EB gingerbread ROM it did, once i had it flashed and synced, all the apps i once had came back and that was after running the g2x scrubber?? i'll do it again just to make sure
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamez243:
I'm getting random sleep of death maybe? Stuck at a black screen, have to do battery pull.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AllAboutAndroids:
Best fix so far is to Go to Settings > Developer Options > Check "Stay Awake"

Basically the screen never goes to sleep while charging, the brightness level is really low, I'm guessing like 10% or so, you won't notice it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Hey guys, I have a question,

So when I first got a Google phone, like ages ago, I must have saved my ex's number weird or something because it was always, there. Even if I erased it from my phone, from my Gmail, every time I got a call from that damn number, the name would pop up and I would be like what the??? How is it that every time this idiot calls, all the info would appear but it wasn't in my contacts are anything, so how was my phone referencing it??

I still don't know how that happened, even new phones eons later, its still the same story. But, does anyone know how I can do it again, or at least close? I have a shxt ton of numbers that I *should* keep, but I hate going through my contacts and seeing names of people I don't really talk to. Also, there are people I really don't want to talk to. LOL. Is there a way, by means of an app or something, I can "archive" peoples numbers so when they call or text me, i'll know whow they are without them being in my phone book taking space??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
And in the process of doing it again to make sure, install Titanium Backup and back your data up first.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Go into Gmail (you can do this on the phone, but it's easier on Gmail), and create a couple of groups for contacts. Then move people you want to keep but not display into one group (i called this "Archive"), and leave all the others in your "My Contacts" group, or whatever you'd like to call it.

On your phone, open the phone book, hit Menu->Contacts to Display, choose customize, click your gmail account in the list, and check the boxes next to only the groups that you want showing in your phone book.

This way, you'll have a much smaller list in your phone book, but will still be able to find those other contacts and will still get CID when they call you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
Many thanks buddy! I'm doing it right now lol

This is so exciting. I'll never have to delete another number again.

Anyhoo, I discovered a bug... Its kind of a doosy.

I realize that when people call me, and I hit answer, the ringtone will still keep playing for like a good 4 seconds, and kind of freeze up the phone. I just had a follow up call from an interview, and when I answered, she was met with a loud ass, obnoxious ass Puerto Rican ringtone, and I was like Ohhh my Goddd, why!!

Good thing she was confirming another interview, but yeah. Something worth looking into. In the interim, I will just silence the ringtone once I know I am going to answer, and then hit answer.

Side question: What was the purpose of allowing contact pictures in ICS so much screen real estate if when you save them, its extremely pixelated and the image is a bogged down low res version? It looks tacky.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sykotron:
Amazing work. I was running EaglesBlood for GB before and will probably continue with your releases as long as I use a G2x.

There is really only one thing that bothers me about this ROM: the signal bar on the status bar. Regardlesss of which display option I choose it is always the bars with a partially transparent overlay for the up/download arrows. This might just be an ICS thing, but I'd like to be able to actually see the up/download arrows without having to get 4 inches from the screen and squinting.

Keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
well i just installed eaglesblood 2.8 with GB 2.3.7 and the gapps for that rom (20110828) and after it booted up and i agreed with the google apps stuff, it started pushing my apps back down to my phone, it even put back the same wallpaper i was using

i did a g2x scrub first then flashed the EB 2.8 rom

so it does it with gingerbread but not ICS?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
No, it does it with ICS, too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
thats what im saying, when i put eagles blood ICS on my phone the apps did not sync. i will test it again tonight after i get all of them back with GB. i'll do it at home on my wifi

no i didn't, used the one linked from the first page of this thread (20120215)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sykotron:
I think these are also ICS issues, but there doesn't seem to be any way to turn off background data alone. I know I can use airplane mode or disable data entirely, but I shouldn't have to.

A good few pages back someone mentioned the awkward way the screen turns off (goes black then back on, but dim for a fraction of a second) sometimes and I didn't see anything about that.

Anyone have any idea about these?

I found a curious bug. So, coming back from an interview, on the subway I lose signal, so I decide to put the phone on airplane mode. Whilst playing a game and listening to music, the song ended, so I went to go change it, and then switch back to the game, which effectively locked up my G2x. Curiously, the music continued, but the phone was unresponsive.

Anyways, I did a battery pull and saw that my battery reading was all wrong. See attachment. I ignored it, when I surface above ground again, I turned airplane mode off, and then the battery reading corrected itself. How strange.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cellsafemode:
the next build is nearing. Nothing ground breaking really but a lot of the _Real_Big_ issues are issues that have to do with basic incompatibilities between new app api's and our old proprietary libs that can't be upgraded. (This may lead to forward porting gb apps to work with our gb proprietary libs)... not exactly elegant ICS but useable is better than broken.

After build2 drops we'll be working on things we do have control over and hopefully make the things we dont less noticeable. I know it doesn't seem like it but it's been a busy week behind the scenes and a lot of that was getting things situated and cleansed for future work.

hint:

You can increase stability of apps that have yet to fix their buggy ICS compatibility code by turning off auto-rotate. Auto-rotate seems to like to break many apps layout code and cause them to just close without any popup errors or warning.

ICS on actual phones is quite new so you can expect there to be an awful lot of app bugs in addition to bugs related to running ICS on an unsupported phone using gb libs and ril :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
LOL, no. It's going to be a while before there is even an 80% stable ICS build for this phone, but if anyone can do it, it's either going to be doniqcc or x0xhellx0x, possibly even Whitehawkx. Oh and I forgot one of my favorites, Mr. Apocalypse

[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
So why do you think LG has yet to confirm its stance on ICS & G2x? Because the latest info coming from them is that they're "testing the device" to see if it would basically be functional. I don't understand what is taking so long for them to be like "Okay, ICS is confirmed, we just don't have a date." They're doing a we won't confirm no deny, we just don't know yet. What is so fundamentally radical about this new OS that it could essentially just flat out not work on a device such as ours?

There's gotta be something at play here that I don't understand, and I know for a fact that money somehow has something to do with it because it always does. How does withholding ICS from the G2x, or at least for a considerable amount of time, benefit LG??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
They're testing it.

We're testing it.

No one has fully functional builds. And Also I'm assuming LG doesn't want to get flak when they release it 3 months late like they did GB.

Weird, I have that problem whenever I go to Narnia.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
But they have all the resources we don't and we're ahead of them - it doesn't make any sense. We have a functional one and its with **** missing and pieces brought over from GB. They also have engineers who probably get paid a lot of money. So, realistically, by now they should have not only been able to get ICS running on G2x, but know if it can support it.

Maybe saying releasing it already is asking too much, even though it has been a very long time, i'll pretend like it hasn't. By why in March have they not been able to say, "Ok, ICS will work on the G2x. Launch date is TBA" or even bull**** us and say, "ICS will be on the G2x, we are working to optimize it."

But instead we get a, "Well, we're not really sure if it will work."

I'm not a dev, I don't know what goes into this, so that's why I asked, what is so crazy about ICS that it just possibly can't be decided already if it "works" on the G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Actually tmobile is the one who gets to announce who is getting the update not lg. Verizon just made an announcement about all the phones on there network that are getting the upgrade. This is probably because tmobile would have to decide about spending time and money testing the rom and also updating it with there apps and other features. Then of course set up the roll out. All of Samsung's galaxy s phones are updated to gingerbread except the vibrant. The behold 2 never got its promised eclair update even though samsung has many of its international phones that were released back then up to at least froyo. I really think it's tmobile that's killing these updates and not the manufacturer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AxelRoldos:
What makes you so sure? Because LG could just say that its up the carriers and then they wouldn't have to deal with us nagging. And i've read lists of some phones confirmed by OEMs that weren't released by the carriers.

+1 I remember during the Vibrant Froyo debacle that Samsung sent T-Mobile a test ROM in October but T-Mobile dragged their heels and did not approve a build until late January, which customers had to download from their site and flash though a Mini Kies...The reason: probably because of the immanent release of the Nexus S and they had to make their bloatware work with the build. Even though LG has to crap on the O2X my putting their UI on it, the O2X will get the ICS update before we will (if we get it). Going forward, I'm going to either go Nexus phone or buy the international model. US carriers suck. Period.
