Between 74 and 77 there is a noticeable difference in OS GUI lag. I'm on July 15 2011 baseband, the new_baseband.zip file appears to further reduce OS GUI lag.

This post indicates the March 11 2012 baseband breaks in-call audio on the G2x for any Android build besides 2.3.4. Does the new_baseband.zip address that or is this simply no longer an issue?

wi-fi calling still hangs on connecting in 77.

Wifi calling

I posted this in another thread, but would love to hear if this works for others. I have been constantly frustrated by the wifi calling bug. I just recently upgraded to the 21y baseband, and then installed the latest EB 4.0.4 build (that works with the new baseband). Tried wifi calling, and of course found that it still did not work. I also found that it wiped my APN settings, preventing me from getting back my cellular data connection.

Anyway, long story short, in the process of going into the Android Market (via wifi) to try to find an app to restore my APNs, I found an app called "APN Off When Call." Pretty self-explanatory -- it automatically turns off APN connection (data connection) right when making or receiving a call.

I installed the app, turned it on, turned on Wifi calling, and tried making a call. The call connected immediately, sound was fine, etc etc. I hung up, used my work phone to dial my G2x (with wifi calling still on); the G2x rang, I answered the call, sound was fine, etc.

I have tested it numerous times since then, and it works about 90% of the time. Occasionally I still get the "Invalid SIM" problem when I turn on Wifi calling; usually wiping data for the wifi calling app and rebooting solves that problem though.

Can others try this out, see if it works for them, or if it is just a fluke? I realize that I am not truly pushing the issue, because I am still sitting in an area where I have T-mobile cellular service while doing this (I set the wifi calling options to "wifi only," but still I know the real test is using this in an area where you have no cell reception at all).

I really hope this works more broadly -- I'd like to be able to use my wifi calling when I travel out of the country!!

Oh and also, I am running the new 21y baseband, Build 4 of Eaglesblood 4.0.4 AOSP, with their built-in kernel. Don't know if any of that will affect it or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarkStarr:
Unless I am mistaken you must have T-Mo signal to use wifi calling...... I got a rep saying you don't and 2 saying you do and my experience says you do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhmltn:
Nope -- as long as your phone can communicate with the T-Mo servers via wifi, when you activate the wifi calling app, you can use wifi calling. I routinely use it to make all my calls when I travel to Europe, where I can't connect to T-Mo or any other cell providers. As long as I have a wifi connection, wifi calling always worked (when running Gingerbread or earlier Android version, anything other than ICS).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deskhack:
I second this - as long as your T-mo SIM is installed and you have internet on wifi, it will connect, even in a foreign country. On most plans now, all calling via wifi calling is free, does not count towards minutes.

caveats;

- if you are using a different SIM, wifi calling will not work

- if you are in airplane mode, the wifi calling app will refuse to connect (it doesn't matter if your cell radio is 'registered' to a network or not, you just can't be in 'airplane mode' or the app will complain that you are in airplane mode).

For anyone who's interested -- this does work with Owain's ROM as well. However it doesn't work with Harsh's kernel. I can only get it to work if I flash the EB kernel. Anyone else getting this to work?

OK, so sometimes my phone will freeze (usually while browsing the internet) and the phone will reboot and once it loads its says "Encrypt Unsuccessful" and I have to factory reset my phone wiping all my apps.

old BB vs new BB

has anyone tried 77 with the old BB, and also with the new? is it worth the hassle to get the new BB, or is it going to act pretty similar with a rom like this? i love owain's builds, but if the new BB is noticeably better then maybe i will put in the effort to upgrade.

(i may be dumb and think that getting the new BB is harder than it is, but since i only run on a mac, i think i will have to rely on going stock and hoping the OTA works. any thoughts contrary to this are much appreciated, either on here or PM.)

thanks in advance,

[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
Is this ICS pretty stable? I know the other ICS roms aren't too stable and they're still kinda slow here and there, just wondering if this one is any different?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBIGREDDx:
CM 7.2 RC3 was consistently dropping my calls (just like CM7 always did for me) so I came back to this now that it has new baseband support. Still getting SOD. I actually even got one just during the initial setup, it was trying to sync my account over 2G so I left it to sit for a couple minutes and when I came back I had to battery pull.

I don't ever get SOD when plugged in, just on battery.

I'm more than happy to try to get some kind of log for this, but I'm not sure how because the logs don't survive a reset, as far as I know?

(Otherwise things are great, calls work fine, things run fast, I can play Draw Something again, etc.)

EDIT: This is on the built-in non-OC kernel. Don't even have SetCPU installed or anything like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] candleworth7808:
Upgrading is actually very easy. I flashed stock 2.3 gb ota, then Googled LG g2x update, which led me to LG's website. 15 minutes later I'm back on the Owain pizza train, with faster GPS lock and crisper sound. It is actually almost noob proof. Good thing is if you do happen to mess something up, you can NVflash stock recovery again. I recommend to try it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] candleworth7808:
Flash different kernel, maybe the 05-25 harsh oc kernel, or the 06-03 one. Some people have been having issues with the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] candleworth7808:
This build has been the most consistent on stability concerning the ics roms. But remember everyone's phone is different, so just flash and enjoy the pizza.

I saw that in the OP, there was an option to remove the 3-Dot In-App Menu button. How do I do it? I don't see it anywhere in the settings. Thanks. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBIGREDDx:
Haha so many settings, hard to find them all.

From the home screen:

Menu > System settings > OWAIN > Tweaks > Display > Menu overflow button

(requires reboot)

I've tried the 05-25 OC Kernel, still gave me SOD. The 06-03 one is what ships with this ROM, at least as of build 77. I could try a different kernel, looking at faux123 right now, 050b1. Maybe I'll try this for a while and see what happens.

Weird flashing problem with new baseband

I'm having a weird problem, and not sure what's causing it... I decided to upgrade to the new 21y baseband when I first saw that Eaglesblood was supporting it. So I went through the whole baseband upgrade process, flashed build 4 of Eaglesblood, all good. When I saw that Owain had come out with a Build 77 of his ROM, and that he had a 2nd flashable file to make it work with the new baseband, I thought I'd try coming back to Owain's wonderful ROMs.

So I made a complete backup of my EB setup, just in case I ran into problems (good thing). Did a complete wipe of all data, cache, dalvik, & flashed Build 77 plus the new baseband file.

Phone booted up fine; but I basically found that something had gone very wrong with my ability to reinstall apps. First, when I tried Titanium Backup, I found that some apps reinstalled fine; others it would try to install, and then say "App not installed" or something like that. And then if I tried to go in to the market and search for that app to install it, I could not find it. Wouldn't show up. Also, sometimes when I would open Titanium Backup it would tell me that my Device ID had been changed? Never seen that before.

Then other times when I would reboot the phone, I would find that the Android Market was completely GONE. The icon for it was gone, the app for it was gone, etc.

No matter what I do, I can't get around this. I tried using Nullify to completely wipe everything, and then install -- same thing. But I can restore my backup from when I had EB build 4 installed, and everything is back to normal.

Any suggestions?

Ok. I only had that problem when I tried flashing a different kernel -- tried the Faux kernel that comes with EB, and it got stuck. With the included Harsh kernel, I could boot up, but it was all screwy once booted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] candleworth7808:
For titanium I had a similar issue, and my fix was to uninstall then install to fix.

Other issue for market you can clear cache then check.

I would personally redownload build and flash again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dayh8:
At least One of the links has the P990 rom. I had this happen to me. Check the file name and redownload if necessary. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dayh8:
I have had no stability issues. I clean wipe and install the rom, let it sit, then install gapps and fix perms. I think this is the best rom I've ever used.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dayh8:
Thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try. LG's website does have support for OSX that I saw, which is why I'll have to hope for the OTA to kick in. Cheers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I agree with that. I've been running ICS since HFS 1.4 and I've felt ICS has been stable enough for regular use since and I've only been on ICS ROMs. I just can't see myself going back to GB. Besides, anything is better than stock G2x.

Can't you just pull that app from the HFS zip?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
That's what it is, I downloaded the P990 from the "XDA File Server (Thanks to Korumera for his hosting!)" link

I will try again in a few
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dayh8:
That XDA FIle Server was the link I used first that gave me issues. the first link in the list has the right one i think, and the new rom is great. hope you get it up and flying!

Do you mean you uninstalled and reinstalled Titanium? Or you uninstalled and reinstalled the broken apps?

I tried deleting their backups out of Titanium... But I STILL can't see them in Android Market. Even if I cleared data for the market. I don't get it.

I'm redoing all my Titanium backups; and doing a fresh download of all the files (ROM, gapps, New Baseband.zip, etc). We'll see what happens.

Downloading a picture message on wifi won't download. Is their a fix for this? Also is installing a new baseband worth it? What improvements do you get from an updated baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
So I am experiencing some pretty substantial lagging going on.

My homescreen like to lag and have a delay on everything actually showing up.

I also get lagging doing Facebook, texting, unlocking the phone, browsing the web and opening up apps and the app drawer.

I also often get the error that phone has stopped working or that google talk has stopped working.

I came from a CM7 ROM.

I am on the new baseband and fully wiped the device multiple times and then flashed the regular gapps and then flashed the inverted zip and then flashed the zip for the new baseband.

Stock CPU setting and everything.

What can I do to get the lag to go away? I loved this ROM before but switched from it in attempts to fix my voice issues with the baseband. Now that this ROM has a fix for that I would love to get this working smoothly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] penninajx:
Same issue here. :( I love this ROM, but I can't stand this lag!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] qpinto:
This from is super sweet. It for have. Touch of lag though. I get an initial data drop when turning GPS off, but that's it so far. Still the occasional invalid sim code happens though. Wifi calling doesn't work for me. Best ics build so far. Just need the o2x or optimus lte to get ics nd we're in business!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhmltn:
Wifi calling will work if you flash the Faux kernel, and use an app called "APN auto off when calling." Not sure why it doesn't work with Harsh's kernel. But it works quite well with Owain's ROM + Faux kernel. And the APN app does just what its name suggests -- turns off data connection right at the point of making or receiving a call. For some reason this prevents the usual hang-ups with Wifi calling.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
Interesting, I just did a flash over HFP 2.2 and all of my apps were there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Running the new baseband on your p999? than you'll need this fix for ROM side support!

flash this after the ROMhttp://owain.hopto.org/T-Mobile LG G2x (p999)/CyanogenMod9 Kang/new_baseband.zip[/B]

Does this zip only work on your ROM? Would be a great thing if it was a general solution for all ICS, CM7, GB ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
Yeah, I thought it might be because I had the Gmail and Email widgets on a homescreen so I took them off. That only slightly helped.

Owain... You mention in the OP that you've added neon optimized code...etc etc

You are aware that the tegra2 SoC in our phones doesn't have neon extensions ....right? at all.

So assuming you have actually turned it on in the build , you must be running a kernel that supports Neon emulation. It's actually slower going that route than just using the non-neon method.

Ok, need some advice.

Finally got it working, but not quite perfect. I think there is some app data I need to clear somewhere, just not sure what.

Re-downloaded the RC33 build, for good measure. Rebooted into recovery. Full wipe, followed by cache & dalvik. Tried to install RC33 from SdCard -- install aborted, said the file was faulty! Downloaded it AGAIN; installed from SdCard, this time it worked. Did it 3 more times just for good measure (all of them took ~30-45 seconds). Then I installed Harsh's kernel. Fixed permissions. Rebooted.

This time it did not get stuck on LG logo, although it took forever to boot. Booted up as a new / reset phone -- everything looked to be working okay. Installed Titanium backup, went through the slow process of restoring all apps and data. Rebooted again.

Everything seems pretty much back to normal -- except that my data connection doesn't seem right. I have data -- can access web, can open gmail acct, etc., but my gmail doesn't seem to be syncing automatically. If I get a new email it doesn't show up unless I go into gmail and manually refresh the acct. Also, on the status bar at top of screen, the signal bars are never turning blue the way they are supposed to -- staying grey. I did notice that they were blue BEFORE I restored all data through Titanium backup.

Any suggestions?

EDIT -- cleared data for Google Services. Suddenly about 2 min. later, signal bars turned blue. Fixed? We'll see I guess --
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Just do this, wipe to factory, then format system, and if you are paranoid format dalvik cache, and everything else you can from recovery. Flash the rom, make sure it takes more than 5 seconds to flash or it wont work, flash the gapps, flash the kernel, reboot.

Everything will be working, if your apps dont download again automatically, mine did, then restore them but not their data. If everything works well then it means you were restoring some old settings that were not compatible.
