[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
Hello everyone. I've recently come across a problem with my phone. Since yesterday afternoon, my phone is stuck on EDGE speed. I am currently running AOKP M4 with Glitch B6. These are the troubleshooting steps I have already taken, with no solution:

1) Flashed KC1 modem

2) Flashed KG3 modem

3) Flashed Slim ICS v 3.0 and under Galaxy S Settings disabled HSPA, rebooted then enabled HSPA

4) Flashed AOKP M4 again

5) Re-flashed Glitch B6

At this point I had to stop tinkering with the phone, because my wife started giving me the evil eye.

These are the steps that I have yet to take (I am waiting for my wife to step out, if your're married you know what I mean):

1) Flash Glitch B5

2) Flash Semaphore ICS

3) Flash even more modems

4) Flash AOKP B29

I made this thread because I am sure I am missing something, but I just can't figure out what exactly. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You sure your APN is set up correctly and if your IMEI hasn't changed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
I checked what you suggested, and on Wireless Networks > Mobile Networks: Use only 2g networks was selected. I un-checked it, and all is back to normal. I can't figure out why it was set up that way in the first place though. Probably fooling around with Power Saver on RC....

Anyway, like I said in the first post, I overlooked simple solution and jumped straight to the difficult stuff. Thanks a lot man.

PS. You still in Mayaguez drinking 25 cent Medalla?

Hi, im kinda new here and not really sure if this is the correct place for this but anyway, i was wondering if anyone could attach the Samsung galaxy s/s2 touch tone (effect_tick). Due to me installing cm9 i have lost it, and i highly prefer it to the stock touch tone. Thanks :)

Is there to get uma support on miui rom for the s2
[LG Optimus 2x] redh4t:
Hello everyone. I just bought my phone 3 months ago, and i'm little tired of stock rom, because of some lag and bugs it have. So i decided to flash some CM7. Really don't know anything about flashing and rooting. Was reading some threads on this forum, but there's so many information that at the end decided to create my own thread. Hope someone will have a little bit of time and reply it.

My phone info: (it's not rooted, just stock version out of the box)

Model: LG-P990

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725 (what is that?)

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: GRJ22

LGE Version: LGP990-V20a

1. So first of all i would like to make a backup, so if something went wrong i could recovery my phone. Maybe you could suggest some not very difficult tool for that.

2. What should i do next, wipe, root, flash, kernel rewrite? Maybe someone could link me or write how to do it step by step.

3. Which rom and kernel to use? What are difference between them (kernels and roms)? I prefer battery life > bugs > speed > customization.

P.s. I really don't know much about doing what i just wrote, please don't be mad :) Thank you for your help.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fenkosmo:
First of all you should root your device, this is generally the first thing to do. I believe I used super one click for this, here is a guide for doing so: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-2x-p990-tutorial/ also there are some guides here around on xda where you will be able to follow a step by step tutorial for rooting :)

For easy backup I would recommend Titanium backup. Search for it on the market it will show up there :) furthermore you should always backup your phone through clockwork mod recovery. Clockwork mod is an app you install after rooting and you access recovery by flashing recovery and then booting into it. It is also from here you will be "flashing" your custom rom of choice :)

So in a step by step tutorial here's what to do:

1. Rooting

plenty of guides are found on this lg optimus 2x forum with links and guides as for how to root your phone. Afterwards you should check if it was done properly, you can do this with root checker :) simply download it from the market and check it :)

2. Downloading your custom rom:

Next step is to download your custom rom and throw it onto your phones SD-card.

You can choose anything you like but I would recommend the build in my sig :) link is here

now for kernels, you don't really need any :b you will be perfectly fine with whatever you already have here :) But if you do want to flash a custom kernel aswell it is virtually the same as flashing a custom rom :)

3. Make a backup of your phones apps and contacts:

Making backups is really easy, just download titanium backup from the market to backup your apps and backup your contacts through the phones built in adress book.

4. Boot your phone into recovery:

This is how it looks:

First of all, install rom manager this is an app found in the market :) just search for it and it will be there. Next use the app to flash clockworkmod recovery (yes thats the top button in the app :b). Then when this is done reboot into recovery. When here your phones screen will not be used to navigate, instead use your volume rockers to navigate and the power button to select.

When here you should make a nand-backup of your phone, this is basically a backup of everything on your phone and it can be used to restore your phone should anything go wrong here :)

This is somewhat like what your recovery would look like:

From here choose "backup/restore" and here choose backup. Now your phone will make a backup :)

Also before flashin you will have to choose both of the following options:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cache

5. Flash your rom (and custom kernel):

Now, finally, you will see some improvements :b Still navigating ClockworkMod recovery choose install zip from sd card, then find your rom and choose it. Now the flashing begins and your phone will do this for some time, once done reboot your phone and you're done!

GL and HF, i hope this helped you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
1. First you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone won't erase your data. Use this guide to root your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953182

This method works flawlessly and is really easy! :D

After rooting, you can check if it worked, by looking for the Superuser app in your app drawer, or download the root checker app and check for yourself.

Also, after you rooted your phone, you need to install the following apps: Rom Manager and Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore them. Consider buying this app, because it's really worth the extra money. Use any SMS/Contacts backup app to backup your contacts. (Don't forget to grant Titanium Backup Superuser access)

Afterwards, you open Rom Manager (again give this app also superuser access) and select the option flash recovery. Clockworkmod recovery mode is just a system which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels. Make sure you flash the O2X recovery and not the G2X, because you have a P990. Clockworkmod Recovery version 5.0.2.0 is good enough. You can enter recovery mode with ROM Manager or reboot into it. When your phone is off, you can boot into recovery manually by holding the power and volume down button until you see the second LG bootscreen with the blueish background.

2. First you need to download the following things and put them on your SD card:

- Any ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or 9)

- Any kernel (Cyanogenmod Kernel for CM7 or CM9)

- Google Apps (for Gingerbread or Ice cream sandwich)

Afterwards, boot into recovery mode. You can navigate through the menus with the volume buttons and the power button. Also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current LG rom in recovery mode. (Backup/Restore - Backup - Yes) Keep this backup if you ever need to return your phone to stock in order to send it to LG.

In recovery mode choose the option:

- wipe data/factory reset

This option won't erase your root, only your current ROM and apps (but you should have made a backup by then)

After this is done, choose the option:

- wipe cache

This option is necessary in order to flash a rom

Then select the following option:

- install zip from sdcard

Browse through your sdcard and first install the rom. After this is done, install another zip and install the Google Apps package. This package includes the Android Market. Afterwards, you could install another zip, which is the kernel, but this is optional. Obviously you need to find the kernel zip and install it.

After installing all this you should be done and you should select reboot system. This will reboot your phone normally into the rom. Note that the first boot in a new rom always takes some time.

3 I would advise the combination in my signature. This combination is very smooth and fast.

Hope this helped! :D

Can I install a custom ROM without an SD card?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
You can put the rom zip file on your internal SD card. (the one of 5.5 GB) And then access it with CWM. So, yeah it's possible.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
:D

The thanks meter is a great motivator for people who like to help, so I like encouraging its use :)

Adding files ICS

How can I add files to my phone while on ICS 4.0.4 (Nova HD)???

On stock gingerbread it worked but now i can't add any files. It shows internal storage and then no folders or files.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Haha sounds great! :D

One problem though, I'm kinda under age... and I don't think my parents, nor the Dutch government would allow me smoking... ;)

Anyway, Amsterdam is a great place to visit, so smoke some, and have fun over there! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Fenkosmo:
Nope I don't think so, many people are having the same problem. What you can do is to put your sd-card in a card reader and add files through there. That's what I do anyways :b

EDIT::

Have you checked if you have the correct drivers installed? go check in the device manager and if it says that no drivers are installed (or no correct drivers, anyways) try and install them automatically. This worked for me :)
[LG Optimus 2x] gasduster:
Umm, I'm quite new here, so I don't exactly know how it works, but shouldn't this thread (post #3 especially) be "Sticky"?

Cause when I started to root/flash my O2x this all-in-1 post could save me a lot of time.. There is quite everything you need when you know nothing about changing a rom. And if there is something missing, you know what you need to search for, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Fenkosmo:
Yes it should, but the truth is, this process is basically the same for every android phone out there, the only difference is the rom you choose really. I'm pretty sure there is an even more detailed guide somewhere out there :)
[LG Optimus 2x] redh4t:
Thank you for help everyone, u helped me alot.

I just installed custom kernel/rom.

Rom: temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-85

Kernel: [CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][APR02] ETaNa with Spica (c) OTF ToolKit

When i installed all this, i missed Google Play and account sync, so i downloaded some "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and installed with Rom Manager. I don't know why, but google play crashes very very often. Maybe i did something wrong?

And how the hell should i select ringtone from my SDcard? :D Because when i click Phone Ring tone theres only some main ringtones and no "select from" options.

Oh and the last one, why the hell drawer is so lagy? Because of inscripted ADW? It's very anoying.

Thanks again.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Heh, being kinda under age kinda sucks, but yeah, in fact it seems that there is a 4 day weekend coming up in May, I think I might take the opportunity to spend a day or two there ;)

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

You've done something wrong when flashing temasek's kang, I get google play immediately, don't need to flash gapps and it doesn't crash, I would do a full wipe and reflash if I were you.

To select ringtones you will have a folder in your sdcard media -> audio -> ringtones. You have to put the desired ringtones in that folder.

My drawer is also laggy. Just put the apps you use in your home screens and don't use it :D

Hope I helped! Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] redh4t:
Hmmm theres no such a folder called media in my sdcard. And when i create it and move mp3 file to it it doesnt appear in ringtone selection. Do i need to restart my phone when i move ringtones to that folder?

When i was flashing new rom i did that. First i made a recovery, then wiped my phone, then clicked install zip from SD card and clicked my rom file. It said that flashing was successful. Then did the same for kernel. And finally rebooted my phone. Everything went well, phone turned on, no errors .. nothing. I installed latest version of that rom, i linked it before.

It seems google play not crashing anymore, i dont know why, but it works. I didnt do anything. Other problem appeared. When i installed GAPPS, Car Home app was installed. I removed it with Titanium Backup successfully. But sometimes in my bottom bar (where clock, battery and other stuff are), it appears. When i slide that bar down it says click to close Car Home. Its very anoying. I tried to look with root explorer for that app in my phone, no clue. How the hell should i remove it? Because i cant find it anywhere. Thanks :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
What is the best procedure for switching between ROMs and still retain all of your data (contacts, call history, txt history, app data, etc)?

I have Titanium Backup Pro, which I assume would be best to use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Contacts are synced with your Google account. Assuming its from one android version to the same you can usually do a batch backup of your data apps in titanium or create a filter for apps you specifically want to backup and restore on each rom and use that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
What about going from GB to ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Going upward would be easy.

For your first question - the easiest way to moving around different Roms.

Rule of Thumb (to keep the data)

1. Don't do the factory reset.

2. Don't format the data

What you can do -

Format cache/dalvik.

In here, let me just focus on the moving the roms between the same version (stay on same GB or ICS, or moving upward). Downgrading Roms from ICS to GB is little different story and need lots of cautions because it could break your phone.

The easiest way would be using sfhub's No-data version one click odin. If you use this method, you can keep almost everything after the rom changed and the efforts to recover the original configuration would the minimum. You need to verify the each applications whether it works or not. Based on my experience, some few applications does not work after the rom change. If the app does not work, you can try to restore the app using TB. Sometimes TB works in here but other times it's not. But it's a good habit to make the whole system + app data backup thru TB. Many times for the apps not working after the rom change, you need to uninstall and reinstall it. It resolves the issue always.

The second easiest way would be using Calk's zip file. Sometime his rom comes with no-data version but the other times, it's not. So, try no-data version first if it's there. But if not, just use normal version without wiping anything (don't do the factory reset manually). His package will automatically format the system data, cache, dalvik, battery stat but user app & data. So, after applying his non no-data version rom, you need a little more effort. For example, if you are using different launcher, the system will move back to default tw launcher. So, you need to clean the tw launcher's data and make your launcher as default. The good thing is, your launcher configuration data is still there. Again, after changing the rom, some application may not work on the new rom. In that case, just follow the steps that I mentioned above.

For any other roms, it would be little more complicated because depending on the rom, it's totally customized. So, you need to follow the op's instruction carefully. For example, I had some problems on moving around the roms because I installed the Rom having some inverted apps (which is replacing the default system and user apps). If you try to install stock rom over those kind of roms, then there are high chances that overlapped apps are not going to work on the new rom. In that case, you need to find out the stock apps instead of inverted apps to uninstall the current app and reinstall the stock app.

Yesterday i changed my Gnexus Rom to Yakju 4.0.2 using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391881 - but i didn't installed the files that were optional, and updated to 4.0.4 using this http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-galaxy-nexus-android-404

After updating i noticed that it was taking too long to download any app on Google Play. I even wiped cache and made a factory reset after noticed that problem, but it didn't worked.

I used Speed Test.net App and the download speed was just fine. I downloaded Modern Combat 3 from Google Play and the download speed was really low, but when i started downloading the 700 MB file that is required to play the Game, wich i believe comes from Gameloft's server, the download speed was excellent.

Even browsing speed is normal, the only problem i'm having is with Google Play. Sometimes when the download speed is low i cancel the download and restart it and the speed goes up. Thats wierd.

How can i solve that? The fact that i didn't installed the radio, the bootloader and the recovery when chaging to 4.0.2 Yakju changed that? Because i think that when i installed 4.0.4 it already updated the bootloader, radio and recovery.

Hello All,

I am going to "try" and work out how to do this myself with m10tools and the fusion.apk but......

If anyone has already done this, I figure "why re-invent the wheel".

Basically I want the full clock widget to be 3d (for the seperation effect when scrolling homescreens) but for the flip tabs to be black and the numbers in them white.

I had this on sense 1 and 2.1 as can be seen from the attached screenshot.

Thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
if you ever need help themeing, go to the link in my sig.

as for the clock, there are a few skins on the market with incerted style clocks, there are also likely a few on xda as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] beartiger:
Ok, here's how I am doing with this:

1. using m10tools and a CDMA fusion.apk (I was told the GSM one wont decompile) I decompiled the shared.m10 for the default skin.

2. I inverted each of the flip clock numbers and the flip background

3. I saved the file and using adb push while in recovery, pushed fusion.apk back to my device.

I have a successful black clock BUT, now when I try to view the Settings Widget, I get no previews. I can still see all widgets when using "browse all htc widgets" but no specifically when looking at the settings widget....

Please help..what else did I need to do apart from the fusion.apk?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Check out black beauty in the tram derp thread. It's nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] beartiger:
Thanks for the suggestion but I don't want espresso style or quite as much of a change, I just am trying to invert the click colours and keep all else stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
first try zipaligning the fusion.apk and see if that fixes it, but if not, it's possible that since you used a cdma fusion it doesn't have the same ID as gsm in your personalize menu.
