Okay, let's go one by one:

Sounds like a charging BSDO. Haven't had one of them in ages but the usual approach to solve them was to go into:

Settings - Developer Options - Stay awake

Settings - Launcher - General - disable tablet effect

and

Homescreen: Transition effect: Standard

If anyone is interested, I prefer the following additional launcher Settings::

Homescreen: Search bar disabled

Drawer: Join with apps disabled

Oh and I just found out that you can get the default folder stlye back when you go to Icons set both options to default

I do like the new folder layout though and will keep it. But good to know.

It's the stock CM9 kernel (by Ricardo Cerqueira). It's saying pastime because he compiled it.

Sorry did miss that, thanks for the bump.

Okay you're saying you have full wiped and not restored any apps and it's draining the battery?

Then try to pin down the misbehaving app with BetterBatteryStats.

And try different kernels. harshs and jarvis can be found in their OP.

spicas should be pretty stable but I had bsod issues. My phone is extremely picky though and this might not be the case for you.

Download: RC1-R or PreRC2 (don't ask which to choose, I have no idea, try both :D)

Do you have this problem on other ROMs as well? Then your battery might be dead.

I use the stock kernel without issues. But every LG 2x phone seems to be different with that (thanks LG!!) - some have a great experience with harshs, benees or spicas.

I need more details on that because I can't reproduce it. Ideally a logcat of course!

There shouldn't be any wireless problems after a full wipe, though. So make sure you did one and didn't restore any system and wifi data with titanium backup.
[LG Optimus 2x] CryptKilla:
Tnx Tony for answer. Most things solved except bsod during charging. But let ne test it with spicas kernel ;)

Regarding wifi. Let me test a bit more.

Tnx again

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Good to hear. I posted a solution for charging bsods in the above post as well.

By the way: The kernel hasn't changed from build 2 to build 4...
[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
must say the rom is very stable so far: not a single hot reboot or shutdown - latest owain was hotreboot and lag hell - and the battery seems all but bad! just 1% during the night, today on 3G and WIFI since 8AM, installing apps and tuning various settings (so the screen was on more than usual) yet it's on 75%. not bad at all. phone is quicky & smooth and i'm really impressed.

regarding kernels, we all try to test them as much as we could and pick the best one (for our specific device) - so, is there any resource we could download upper-mentioned acmee's stock CM9 kernel or pastime's recompiled one - as it acts pretty much great on my phone and i would like to have it archived with the rest of kernels for testing?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Good that you're posting, because my phone is behaving exactly the same. Almost no battery loss during night, great stability and overall battery life.

I'd say good for me but bad for people who have issues because I can't track it down hehe.

You can simply reflash the ROM to have it back. It would be possible to extract the kernel from the ROM zip. You could send a kind PM to pastime1971 and ask him if he could compile you the kernel only (and if he does share the link with us here).
[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
will do, thnx.
[LG Optimus 2x] CryptKilla:
Now I have spicas kernel and will test it a bit like it is:)

Tnx

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
But there's a free xdaversion attached to the second post of the thread I linked you to...

Come on guys, I'm not a babysitter for all your questions here :o

That's not only directed at you Netuser, but I do expect at least a little research from everyone before you're posting at this thread. And always provide as much information as possible.

I do gladly try to help everybody who has a problem (and I think I do answer a lot of questions really quick), but I'm doing this for free and have other things to do as well.

I never got any donations from xda users, which is totally fine, but you should at least respect the time I need to spent on your(!) problems then.

hey Tony thanks for the advice. I will try the stock kernel first. um, so it's okay to use a different launcher like the one I posted right?

Xperia S launcher that I installed works dany fine! :) so far so good... can't wait to fully use it thanks man Tony!
[LG Optimus 2x] DLloyd:
Just started using this ROM, and I must say it's fast. Great work. One problem I do have however is that when I select certain apps, Google Maps being the main one, my phone re-boots. Can this be solved by installing a different Kernel? If so, ny suggestions. I'm currently using Pastime's Kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
been playing around with Paranoid settings... love the Play Store in Tablet UI, and the status bar in Tablet UI! However, my status bar has disappeared... on the lock screen it's there, but on the main screen there's no status bar, and i've tried toggling everything but nothing seems to have changed =/
[LG Optimus 2x] jrfurlan:
Build4 and Harsh

Build 4.1 and Harsh Kernel don't run fine for me. Some FC (with or without DPI changed), force reboots and some settings pages doesn't work.

I back to Stock kernel and Rom run nice!!!

Obs: i used Harsh version [Linux 3.0.37]
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Settings - Apps - Maps - Clear Data

Longpress Power - Expanded Desktop
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Okay, I want to try something.

Are here some users of this ROM who'd like to contribute to this thread?

I'm specifically thinking about the following things:

a FAQ consisting of all these little questions like "Statusbar is gone". this would mean someone need to digg through this thread and grab the FAQ-relevant stuff

some screenshots/designs which show (off) the ParanoidAndroid features to replace the ones in post 3

or are here even videojunkies who'd like to do a video review? Somethink like this, only with the 2x (and a little better prepared hehe).

My time is limited these days and I'd rather focus on improving the ROM further instead of maintaining the thread.

If there's no one then I'll do it myself at some point in the future
[LG Optimus 2x] Mikiya:
Hi,

Thanks Tony for your great rom :) it's smooth, i like it, but i'v a *big* problem :s I can't take any pictures, camera can't found sd card (i don't have external sd), and copilot can't find sdcard too, so i can't use it :(

I know /sdcard is empty, and with cm9 it's mount as /mnt/emmc but how can i use it in these apps ? :(

Thanks !
[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
i have similar experiences with latest owain (#80) and a few latest harsh kernels (1007 and later) - a lot of FCs and a lot of hotreboots. try with older harsh 1006 or novahd pure. anyhow, my phone seems very stable so far with pastime1971's kernel that's coming with the rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Does "Settings - Storage - Menukey - Storage configuration - Use internal storage" and a reboot help?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mikiya:
Yes it works :D thank you ! I've seen this setting but i did'nt reboot, after a reboot it's ok :) :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] rasmusx:
Hi!

This rom is really cool and nice. Also runs very smootly with stock kernel. But I have a quesition. How can I disable lockscreen rotation?
[LG Optimus 2x] jrfurlan:
Yes, pastime1971 is very stable, but doesn't have Usb Mass Storage Suport and i don't like MTP because is instability.:(

Anyway, i still use Pastime because de rom is nice with it!:o

Great Work Tony!!!:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
MTP works perfectly stable for me.

To clarify something here: It's the stock kernel by Ricardo Cerqueira, the source is here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star/commits/android-tegra-2.6.32-ics

As this ROM is based on a build by pastime it says pastime because he compiled it.

If you would send pastime a PM with something regarding "his kernel" he probably would be a little confused :D
[LG Optimus 2x] jrfurlan:
Tks for you explication Tony.

MTP Works for me but sometimes i have to reconnect the cable to the icon in My Computer appear. In my house i use a Macbook Pro and MTP doesn't work on OSX Lion.

**

Another question: How can i disable the Led Button Notifications?

Tks:o
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
Thanks Tony, I did the Expanaded Desktop... it works, but sadly I couldn't wait last night so I relfashed the ROM xD

anyways, for those who do not want to see the "ugly blue box" every time you swipe through a screen, I figured out how to do it. on the Launcher settings, find the "Tablet Mode - shows tablet display" and untick it
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Already wrote that a couple pages back :p

You should also change the transition effect to 'Standard'.

I don't really like the default setup of this tablet trebuchet version, but I don't want to include a preconfigured setup because that would override custom settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
it's okay, I switched over to Nova Launcher (followed the tips from Paranoid as well). can i confirm if it's a bug when I switch USB configuration to USB Mass Storage, it would cause a force reboot when USB cable is plugged in? I'm fine with both USB and MTP, but was just fiddling with the settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] new2city:
I had that too.

But take note that USB Mass Storage is not working on stock kernel anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
My first try with CM9, and I must say I'm very satisfied with the results! Other than USB mass storage problem, of course. Tried with Spica kernel, still got a freeze as soon as USB is plugged in. I would like to keep everything "ye old way", using internal storage and USB as it was before, I guess it will get back there with some fiddling around, there are more kernels to explore.

Anyway, this will ROM feels great and I believe it's good for everyday use. It always boggled my mind how LG stock launcher has 4x4 icons on such a screen, now my standard 5x4 setup seems huge and half empty. Also, Apex is on a whole new level for a free launcher :o

App and personal data backup was easy with GO Backup (with no system settings backup of course), no problems except some apps (like ES File Explorer) don't like dpi settings. That shouldn't be a problem since everything is covered in first few posts or in CM FAQ.

TonyP, thank you for your work on this port :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] olasz:
I have this rom and now i am in hp 2x kernel. I confirm that now usb mass storage works fine for me. Rom is great best rom i have ever tried. Still unhappy about battery lifetime but i am still experimenting.

EDIT...: USB is not working...as soon as usb is connected to pc, phone reboot...forever....

something is wrong here..

help.....
[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
i was aware of mtp as i was used to mass storage support, therefore i was always avoiding spica's kernel for example. but it came with this rom by default and i can't really complain once my computer started to show mtp dialog - it does what i need and it works stable. and that rom/kernel combo is just wonderful.
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
MTP works well IMO... maybe USB mass storage would be slightly more functional, but no complaints so long I can dump my stuff in.

i've finally tweaked the settings to my preferred ones... gonna see how the phone lasts for battery and performance. :) amazing ROM
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
I got some good news regarding battery, I think the bad battery I was having was because of recharge cycles, (I never had this cycle issue with any Rom, and I thought it was a myth, but with this Rom i am convinced it is true)

So the day I flashed for the first time this Rom, I was having very bad battery, like 7-8% drain even in sleep. I try to find out why but didn't find any solution. Apparently after 3 days, the battery has stabilized.

Since last charged 10h30 minutes passed, I made 12 minute call, some SMSs, 30 minutes of skype audio call and 15 min of skype video call. And guess what ? My battery is at 86% :D

So it means people don't need to worry , just leave 3-4 days and after couple of charge it will be good :)

I am very happy, I have most smoothest and stable Rom, not a single Bsod of any kind since 3 days, no lag, everything is working and perfect.

Thanks a million time to Tony for making this amazing Rom and I recommend everyone to use it. It is my daily Rom.

Only thing we now need is Themers so that we can personalize this Rom :D
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
for theming wise, I think it's better for those who want a slightly more customized look to download other launchers like Apex/Nova. I think the default CM launcher is a little ugly imo lol
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
I never do a couple full cycles, it's because of charging. It always says USB not AC tryied a couple of wall chargers :( because of this charging is soooo slow. I don't have time to full charge my phone. Is there somebody that have the same? Alwaus USB charging even with wall charger?

Really a nice ROM indeed!

Tony, do you recommend using the app Battery Calibration?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

Can you post a mirror for the hybrid google apps? The link in the first post is down. Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
Alright, thanks.

The download link works just fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
can I confirm with Tony if this is a bug?

in Settings - Lock Screen - Slider shortcuts.. when changing the icon of the shortcuts from the default app icon to "system icons", after selecting, message will pop "System has crashed".
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Works for me.

My camera has now a message icon :o
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
For me the download link is not working for the google apps. I don't know why. And one more question, how can I change the UI for the system apps, like camera or contact?

L.E: I managed to open the link but the speed is 1kb/s. I need a mirror if you can. Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
thank you :o i will try a few more times, maybe a reboot to see how it goes

L UI3 Launcher

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way of using the LG UI3 Launcher with this ROM. Cheers!

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Thanks, but clearing Google Maps data didn't fix the problem. I'll try re-installing Gapps. Any otehr suggestions welcome. i have also changes Kernel, noe using harsh kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
People sure do like to ask a hell of a lot of questions.... Let's help one another so the developers can focus on the ROM itself instead of all the questions..

I really do recommend using the stock kernel. Remember you must do a full-wipe before installing the ROM as well as fixing permessions after installing. There might have been an error in your downloaded archive, try re-downloading and then re-flash the Gapps...

Now, about the LG UI 3 launcher... It isn't really that hard to apply, really. Here's a little guide:

- Download this .apk file: https://www.box.com/s/a7f9d07802e0936ee5a4/1/296345186/2352302668/1

- Make sure you have an app to browse your phone with. I use Solid Explorer. Move the .apk file to system/app folder and press the Home button. You will then be able to choose between the LG UI and the stock launcher.

- You might have to change some settings afterwards in order to make the launcher fit the screen.

I hope that helped you along the way.
[LG Optimus 2x] DLloyd:
Thanks for your reply. Don't mean to be a pain by asking questions here...

Regarding the Kernel. I changed to see if it would help with the Maps issue, but also because I was getting a lot of reboots with the stock kernel (particularly when charging, the phone will turn off), but this seems to be sorted now when using Harsh kernel. I'm re-downloading GApps as we speak so hopefully that will fix the maps issue. It was a clean install so did do a full wipe beforehand.

I've used the LG UI3 launcher with other ROMs before and it's worked great, so I have followed all of the steps that you've pointed out (pushing to system/apps, change permissions etc) but then I still get an error 'Unfortunately, Home has stopped' when I select it to use. Could it be something to do with the dpi settings? I don't know. I'm using the optimized tablet UI mode.

Anyway, thanks for the reply
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Spot on, LGUI3 will only work in standard phone mode. I advise against using it though, polished as it is it introduces a delay from when you tap home/back until it reacts (I'd estimate 200-300 ms), which quickly gets very annoying.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Go into Settings - Paranoid Settings - List of apps and change the UI to Phone UI and apply a DPI of 240. (The latter is probably enough and it's said at post 2 that this fixes almost all Force Close problems. I should consider to write that single sentence in post 1 and everything else in post 2 -4 :D)
[LG Optimus 2x] DLloyd:
Fantastic help and support on this forum, thanks for the help. So, setting Phone UI in apps list sorted out the maps force close issue, and LG UI3 also works if you set it to Phone UI too!

Fantastic work here, thanks all :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
i find the best is to use apex or nova launcher... they work great even in tablet mode :D
[LG Optimus 2x] xox101:
I normally avoid posting to the dev forums as I don't want to spam with utterly useless posts but for this rom I had to make an exception.

Coming from a Desire running Ilade's Redux rom I wasn't expecting much to be honest but my recently acquired new plaything is rocking with this!

Very fast and smooth with only the occasional hiccup. I had to install Harsh kernel for USB connection to my laptop as I don't have media player installed and MTP seems to require this? Tested the phone on stock kernel with two other PC's both with media player with no problem but two of my laptops are running Windows 7 Pro N version which comes without the media player and MTP simply does not work. Also does not work with Linux Mint 13. Bit of a faux pas by Android if you really need media player simply to connect your phone to your PC! Fine with Harsh though.

Battery life not great but it is a big (for me) phone and hopefully will improve after a few charge cycles.

I'm a fan of Launcher Pro but get FC's when in landscape mode. I think this is mentioned on the first page and no problem provided I remember to change to portrait when going back to the home screen.

All in all an excellent rom, thanks a lot and please keep up the good work.

[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
I have a big problem, I might say. I installed Beautiful Widgets and added a widget on the desktop. When I try to move it or remove it by long pressing it, the launcher force closes. I tried with 3 different launchers(trebuchet, apex, nova) and with all it is the same. Now I cannot remove that widget I don't like. Thank you Tony for everything you are doing here and for this awesome porting. This is the first bug I found in this ROM and I hope it'll be the last. Thank you again!
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
i guess what you can do is

1) delete the page where the widget is on, and then re-add a page and try adding the widget again. then try to move or remove to see if the launcher FCs.

2) so if it does, u can try to install another similar app (say, fancy widget?) and do the same thing. if fancy widget is working fine then probably beautiful widgets has a bug or something. i think the launchers should be fine cos most of us are using trebuchet and stuff anyways...
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
Thank you for your answer. What widget app do you recommend which is similar to Beautiful Widgets?
[LG Optimus 2x] xox101:
Maybe in inch high lettering coloured red so those of us who read but don't digest get it! :o

That bit of advice fixed my Launcher Pro FC's perfectly. I had the phone set to stock ui anyway as being at the wrong side of fifty my eyes find stock hard enough to see never mind in tablet mode!

Anybody else using Windows N without media player and can't get MTP to work? I would be interested in a workaround of some kind.

Jerry
[LG Optimus 2x] waterballoon:
i think the closest for you would be Fancy Widget... it's free too :D though for weather widgets, I like Snowboard... it's simple and nice for me. Go Weather is good too but u have to use Go Launcher
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I had the same problem with the O2 widget.

My 99% FC solve tipp from the second post applies here as well, but you need to check the "Force scaling (Widgets)" option as well, I thought that was obvious...

As I bought Beautiful Widgets at the 10cent auction as well I just tried it and can confirm that a dpi of 240 + force scaling solves the issues (if you don't reboot it will crash one last time to rescale).
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
What force scaling are you talking about? I am using Apex Launcher. What launcher do you use mostly with this ROM? Thank you for your fast answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] xox101:
Do this in landscape mode as that was the only way I could get the "apply" button to show and there should be a "Force Scaling" box available as well. Put a tick in that and reboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
See my second post.

I use the Trebuchet launcher it came with. Never tried any other one, I'm perfectly fine with my Trebuchet setup (which I posted a couple pages back here).
[LG Optimus 2x] andretg01:
Hi, guys.

I can't seem to be able to activate the pattern unlock. The 'next' button is not in view.

How can I fix it?
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
I set up the pattern unlock with the phone tilted to landscape that should do the trick :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Just move you phone in horizontal position (landscape mode) and you will see all
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Is seriously noone reading the listed bugs at post 2 where this exact problem is described and a workaround (the same as descibed above) given? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
I wanted to ask one more thing, which I asked earlier too but no one answered. Is it possible to change the UI for the System apps like Camera/Phone etc? And what is that camera I can see in your screenshot at the beginning of this thread. Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] jrfurlan:
The link doesn't work,:( page appear this msg:

If this is your file please upgrade to add more bandwidth credits to your account. Call Sales at 1-877-729-4269 for more information.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Theoretically: yes.

Actually: no. The Phone.apk has no TabletUI and for the Camera our screen is too small.

At the screenshots you see the Camera in TabletUI which you can set up also, but the circle will be cropped because it somehow doesn't fit.

That's why I asked if someone would do some newer screenshots, but as no one is interested - the ones which are currently there will stay there for a while :D
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
I would really like to help you with some screenshots! I think my phone.apk has lowered DPI because I see it smaller. How can I revert it to normal DPI-240(just the phone.apk)? And one more question. Is there a way that you could make the Trebuchet Launcher more fast/smooth like the LG 3.0 UI ? Thank you!
