From the Mimicry thread:

So seems like restoring CM7.2 going and downloading 4EXT Recovery and then have it install the 4EXT is the way to go if you're persistent about getting ICS. (CWM doesn't seem very ICS friendly when it comes to features like formatting specific partitions to ext4 etc).

I do have a PC10IMG.zip style zip that can be placed on the SD Card to install 4EXT Recovery (it only installs recovery.img , no radio/boot/etc) in case don't want to go thru the trouble of having to restore CM7 just to go get the 4EXT app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Could you please upload that for me and tell me what I'll need to do when I run that app? THANKS. If this works, you have my thousand thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
It's probably because the partitions like /system etc are ext3 and need to be upgraded for most ICS roms. Least with 4EXT Recovery , when you do a backup of any rom, the appropriate filesystem is used on restore (i.e.: in case you go back to CM7).

I've attached the 4EXT Touch Recovery 1.0.0.5 RC5, it's flashed in the exact same way you flash a new radio (Renaming to PC10IMG.zip placing on root of SD card and booting into boot loader to apply it).

From there when you boot into the recovery you can tap over to tools, and can actually 'convert' the existing filesystems, though it may just simply be easier to format them as ext4 and then re-do the mimicry install.

EDIT: MD5 (4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC5.zip) = dfc5dc1e4aee18fdea6268345e3dad22
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
PS: When you finally get booted up into ICS, head over to the Play Store and grab the 4EXT Recovery control (I highly recommend the paid version, cuz you can actually go in and set settings like don't back up cache/dalvik-cache and other tweaks). If you prefer the free version (All it does is download the latest recovery and installs it for you) you can grab the apk from their site here : http://www.4ext.net/

PS: Under 4EXT you can actually tap info to see what your existing partitions are formatted as.

PS #2 , if you got a desktop tool to check MD5sum this is the MD5 of the zip I attached previously.

MD5 (4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC5.zip) = dfc5dc1e4aee18fdea6268345e3dad22
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I named it PC10IMG.zip and it seemed like it worked and then I booted over to Recovery but it took it me over to CWM, and I'm assuming it should've taken me to 4EXT..

It parsed the item and then allowed me to go through what I want..

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

RECOVERY TAKES ME TO CWM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
When you placed the PC10IMG.zip onto the root of the SD card and then rebooted into boot loader it should have saw the zip file, and asked if you wanted to upgrade it, you would use the volume key to move to yes, and then power button to confirm the selection, it would then flash it with a progress bar like you saw with the radio update.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
I wasn't asked that. It is in my SD card, I see it. But I didn't have the option up volume up and down like when I flashed the radio. It just says parsing.. for a bit and then stopped and let me move around again. Should I just restore and download 4EXT to make it easier...? And do I have to buy it or use the free version is ok?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
For your purpose, the free version apk should be fine to download and install (they give you a 3 day trial to try the paid version of the app itself, but the recovery itself is the same paid or free). And yes that would probably be easier for you if you don't mind the extra steps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
i'll give it a try now. thanks! I'll let you know what's up
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Should I restore, download the app, convert it, and then boot into recovery and then wipe (will I need to SuperWipe this time), and THEN install the ICS rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
- Restore CM7.2 and boot it up.

- Grab the free version from http://4ext.net (They don't seem to have the freebie in the market place), and install the apk you download from there

- Start up the app and do an "Online Install | Upgrade"

- Say yes to a couple of dialogs (it asks to confirm if your phone is a Vision/G2/Desire-Z).

- Choose the 4EXT Touch Recovery 1.0.0.5 RC5 and click the 'install' button on that popup

- Make sure the PC10IMG.zip has been removed from your SD card

- Reboot into recovery (you can just do Power -> Reboot -> Recovery in CM7.2)

You'll know if it works since it'll look drastically different with a touch/swipe interface (And the back button on the bottom of the screen actually acts like back).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
This gotta be ****ting me... I did the wipe (ext4) and formatted everything and proceeded to flash the ROM. STILL SAME GODDAMN PROBLEM....

INFO:

system ext4

data ext4

cache ext4

sdcard fat32

It's in the format we desired... WHY IS IT STILL NOT WORKING?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Just sits there at the HTC screen?

When it does that, does the two commands from your computer show anything?

adb devices

Or

adb logcat

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
It makes it past the HTC screen, like it should be booting into the boot animation but it doesn't and it just stays black.

EDIT: Tried it with a SuperWipe this time... I don't understand what this could be... I give up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
When it's black can you try adb logcat

A log output may help determine what went wrong. Btw you mean super wipe before installing the rom right?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Yep, I wiped and then superwiped prior to installing the ROM. I don't understand what could've possibly went gone. I restored my CM7.2 and am running that.. It has been a crazy 8 hours trying to figure all this out... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP THOUGH. Pretty sad it didn't work as smoothly as I had wanted it to..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Well there's always tomorrow pending research, or when you have time you can always pop into #g2root for some live assistance.

The new 26.13.04.19 radio is supposed to give you batter battery life even on gingerbread, so least got some improvement there...

But yea when you're ready to try again, log outputs from something like adb logcat will be helpful in figuring out what went wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Where do I get live assistance?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
freenode #g2root, just google it to find it

as a side note, I doubt it matters but I was helping someone having a similar issue to youres once and he wasn't using clockwork as he was supposed to. you do not need to name a rom update.zip, can you walk through the exact steps you were taking? I believe you're trouble could be solved easily if we could just see what you are doing, there is some obvious step be looked over here
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Ok.

I am currently running CyanogenMod 7.2 Gingerbread right now. Prior to trying all the stuff I did today, I only have ClockWorldMod, and this is what I did.

1) Download the Mimicry ROM (named it update.zip) and the gapps (left the name alone)

2) Checked the MD5sum and they were all the same

3) Made a backup of my current set up via CWM

4) Added the files to my MicroSD card

5) Wiped data, cache, davlik cache, everything!

6) Flashed the update.zip file (successful flash)

7) Flashed gapps

8) Reboot to be met with an HTC logo, then a black screen (this is where the boot animation should start up) .. I left it for a long time just to ensure it just didn't require a lot of time, but it didn't work.

--------------------------------

After discussions and pointers in this thread, I downloaded two separate SuperWipes, but used the SuperWipe+4ext dominantly.

1) Used the files already in SD card

2) Wiped from 4EXT Recovery (and tried in CWM as well) -- choosing the ext4 one

3) Super-wiped (Selecting info did show my format was ext4)

4) Flashed the ROM & Gapps

5) Reboot to be met with the same fate.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
1) Don't rename the rom to update.zip there is no need to re-name it, simply choose it from apply zip from sdcard

2) Good

3) Good

4) Normally it helps to do this first, and then reload recovery

5) Normally only need to do two wipes, the Factory-Reset/Data wipe, and Wipe Cache/Dalvik

6) rom first yep, but don't need to be named update.zip

7) good

8) Not so hot... (a superwipe or the vision_efs_wipe at #5 *might* have helped)

Normally that would work. If you had some kind of log output from when it was booting that would probably be helpful.

But yea you don't have to rename any of the rom zips and such, I actually keep a folder on my sdcard called Roms, and in that are the zips with their original name, that way i know what I'm choosing when I'm flashing a zip.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Lol you know what.. i'm pretty determined to try to get this fixed... How long are you going to be online for? And anyway we can have a real time chat session? I looked into the g2root thing and it looked pretty complicated.

And just throwing it out there, it was in ext4 forsure because when I restored my cm7.2 backup, the recovery tool had to convert it back to ext3. But how much would the name really affect the install? I saw the Aroma Installer and everything and everything seemed to "install correctly".

How and when should I capture the logcat? I did this once but a member told me how.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
The IRC bit is actually quite easy (just intimidating for some people who have never used an IRC client before), though they do have a Java chat method here http://webchat.freenode.net/ where you just pick an alias and type the channel name to use (#g2root)

I'll be on pretty much all night, I'm pretty much a night owl.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michuo:
maybe you should call your friends to help you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Was already solved via IRC (#g2root) thankfully. He's up and running now.

Essentially (even though looks like he did this already number of times in the thread) the process coming from CM7 (with cm7 already backed up) was basically:

1) in 4EXT format/factory-reset -> ext4 specifically

2) Check in 4EXT that all the filesystems were showing as 4ext

3) proceed with mimicry and gapps install, and reboot

and that was pretty much it.

I think somewhere along the lines he still had a ext3 formatted file system each time he tried to install mimicry.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapheG2:
Probably maybe something important.. the time we got it was the time the ROM file's name wasn't changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWhsprs:
I read through this thread as I'm pondering whether to go to an ICS ROM and am doing a lot of reading to gather info on potential issues. I just want to express that it's great how patient and helpful you were, kbeezie. :good:

Why? I think ICS is already rolling out for our device.. Also no need for it as there are better custom ROMs out.. If you want to force lg do something then force them to release Jelly Bean instead.. Therefore I suggest you to go to http://www.facebook.com/LG and shout "We want Jelly Bean!!! we want Jelly Bean!!!"..

i will sign this but it just so simple:

Buy another smartphone next time. i've made the same mistake current using optimus 2x and i will never, i repeat, NEVER NEVER buy another LG product again.

LG is not a small brand in the world, they are big and they know how to make theyr business, if they dont want to give atention to support smartphones and focus on tv, or another area will be simple to us make they feel they mistake.

people uses htc and samsung are so close of it support, just change to it.

Just signed. Lets hope that something will move on!
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
No dude. Its not so simple. The fact remains that we DID buy the o2x and therefore demand attention and solution to our issues which are btw totally legitimate. I personally cannot by any means afford a new phone, not now nor in the foreseeable future, so what you are mentioning on your post simply does not apply to me.

EDIT: I do however agree with you on this. LG: NEVER, EVER AGAIN

In your words look like you get mad about mines, my intention wasnt that, sorry if it happens. I just say that cause is the way many company do.

they developed the product, they sell it and promise the GB upgrade. (Nobody promised to give you more updates, the more that they could promisse to you was GB).

then they started dev for another products, ant then another and there goes. the team of

LG are now developing the 3rd or 4th top smartphone since O2X and maybe they are not envolved anymore on O2X process. (it can be true or not).

my words was: "normal company dev a product and them go to another"

"good comanys dev a product, support them and goes for another later"

"perfect companys have a dev group to bring new ones and another group to give support for all it product"

.... and we already trully know that LG isnt a perfect company, thats why im saying next phone change lets go for another company. btw i cant afford new one now, so i do a lot research on my next step when it comes possible.

Please, there are many petitions out there regarding the ICS update for our phone. Well, guess what: LG doesn't give a f***!

People shout for updates on LG's facebook and twitter pages, and the result is LG doesn't care!

You can stop buying LG mobile products as a form of protest, you can march on the streets waving signs of hatred and anger...again, LG won't give a damm...

I don't think there's a non-violent way to make LG release the so longly awaited update for our phone. The only thing to do is just wait and hope for the best...unless you're a gunfreak and point an AK47 to the LG CEO's head, or you watch too many movies and barricade yourself in their headquarters' bathroom wearing a bomb around your waist...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
Sorry. 3 issues here:

1) I need to verify permission from the developer and he needs to verify that he is going to support it here. If someone downloads it, flashes it, and somethings wrong.......who is going to give answers and support it? We have an active community who can help, sure, but the developer has to actively support it here. If he were ready to give support here, he would have posted it here already. And even then it would have to go in general unless he started the thread.

2) There is no source provided in the OP. Kernels must be GPL compliant and listed in the OP.

3) If you did not create it, do not post it in the development section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
