Hi friends!

What if I want to flash an OC kernel? Thanks! ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I DID IT!!!!!!

Wow, I still can't believe it. I was about to give up, but my last attempt finally worked.

Now it's possible to flash this repack with the official CWM 6.0.1.5. and not run into the "Encryption unsuccessfull" error (where you were stuck as a factory reset wouldn't help).

That was one of the most difficult things to crack I have been working on hehe

I had to understand some totally new stuff.

Whoever is interested in some more details:

CWM6 does support the Android Encryption.

After booting up android somehow recognizes the /data partition as being encrypted, although it is not. This lead to the framework locking down.

After harsh and I tried to overwrite the encryption check inside the ramdisk without real success I did some changes to the "init" binary.

I updated some C file inside to it's JB AOSP version and overwrote a routine which set the encryption flag and compiled it. As previously posted this lead to /data being wiped (or better: not written) after every reboot.

But I managed to fix this with some changes in the mount commands in the init..rc files in the ramdisk :fingers-crossed:

I will now clean everything up a bit and upload the new version tomorrow.

CWM6 supported

kernel updated, usb bluescreen bug fixed and maybe the call issue (harsh didn't encounter the audio bug for almost 3 days.. fingers crossed)

updated to v28g (as we don't use the included kernel but one based on the SU660 sources with modifications by arcee the new v28g issues shouldn't affect this ROM)

This will mean that this ROM can be flashed like every other one, no more special install instructions (and hall of shame) needed anymore :)
[LG Optimus 2x] CarloIT:
You are great men ! :) thank's a lot

May flash those with the new bootloader and new partition ?

I I tried it today. It works like in CM10. No panorama, photosphere FS after some pics.

tonyp: :good:, so I will wait one more day :D and try next build before going back.
[LG Optimus 2x] nex91:
i cant install this rom,the latest version,i get error status 7... i have flashed Stefan Gündhör's ics stock rom,and it works fine...but i want to flash this rom because stefan's rom have wifi battery drain issue... the rom made a 512mb system partition...what means that status 7 error? what i did wrong? can i flash tomorow release? by the way,awsome work tonyp!!! TNX
[LG Optimus 2x] ps1max:
you have to NVFlash to old partition mode and bootloader and then install this ROM. :cool:

Stefan has a warning there:

About going back to different ROMs and backups NOT made under the new bootloader:

it is not possible to restore CWM backups with this ROM that have been made using a different partitioning layout and bootloader. So you can only go back to GB or CM7 / 10 with per example NVFlash and then restore your saved backup with CWM there. But do not restore it while still being on ICS layout.

But restoring is possible:

- you are on CM7/10, make CWM backup, save backup to pc

- you flash this ROM with NVFlash, decide to go back to CM10 with NVFlash again and there you can flash your CWM backup you saved on your PC before.

New bootloader and layout are still very *new*, that's why there currently don't exist any ROMs you could flash with the CWM of this ROM. You can flash app packages and stuff but nor ROMs or ICS kernels not made for the new bootloader.

press thanks if i helped you
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
thx awesome devs
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
So it was the low memory killer affecting the sound?
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
It still is effecting. But on CM10 in-call issue which was coming in 1-2 days came after 3-4 days. Need to investigate more. Seem like its something very related to core of kernel. Because SU660 sources which were used to build CM10 and this ROM are not for P990. And kernel in V28G kdz version is different than this or CM10.

I also hear this issue happened in Stefan's repacked NVFlash ROM which is using official kernel and system. So now my petty guess is confirmed that it is due to LowMemoryKiller related and connected to SWAP.
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
Very interesting! You are suspecting specifically "lge-kernel-star / drivers / staging / android / lowmemorykiller.c " right? My interest just got peaked. I'll look at it on my breaks from work!
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Then this issue on calls are worst than i thought....

If the Official Ics from Stefan's have this problem then how the hell can it be fix?

I see that we'll have to wait for the release of LGP990 source code, by that time everything should be stable, kernel and Rom wise...

So Harsh, only after more than 3 days you encountered the call bug?

Are you exchanging any ideas with areemce?
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
One thing I found out yesterday, with the stock kernel and v28g the phone does charge while using Google Navigation in my car, while on the lite rom it doesn't (with Harsh kernel based on su660 sources).

Also, the need for more RAM becomes obvious while putting the phone under stress. When using Google Navigation (3g, GPS and screen-on) + Music over BT A2DP to my Parrot MKi9200 it always tries to kill music in the background due to memory running low. Some zRam would be nice to make sure that stops happening all the time.
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
first time in call voice problems since i moved to this ROM on the firsed day it was out. bummer.
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
well...I am already 3 days with stefans NVflash rom and i never got in/out call bug.everything is working well. bb 28g.
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
Fixed it (probably temporary) by clearing phone cache. The weird thing was that after clearing and making the first call there was a strange, almost physical, noise from the mic/speaker for a split second.
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
Under load even Gb kernel tends to crawl. With 32 or 48 mb Rh the system is much more resposive IMHO. zRam alone might not help. RAM hack is probably the order of the day and is badly needed.I hope the guys at Lg realise that and make it standard .And I hope one of our great kernel modders release a RaM hack kernel :)

I'm waiting for Rh kernel to try out ICS :) ;until then my existing setup is super fluid with 48 Mb rh

Brain waved from my O2x using XDA app
[LG Optimus 2x] mbaier:
confirm :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] CarloIT:
me too, i wiped cache + dalvik, then fix permission and reboot with no other problems till now
[LG Optimus 2x] natalya:
If it truly is one file that has english sentences/words etc. that needs to be translated, then sure. After everything XDA has done to us, then why would I feel discouraged to contribute something myself?

As said, one file; sure. A file for each APK? Not worth the sweat at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
It's been a while since digging in files, but yes, language are .xml, but nobody here can say that everybody can do this easily, that's why I tell you to search. Not sure, but earlier java sdk 6..... was needed(might not anymore. Also, android sdk, one of many apk tools and a software like 7zip(preferable) or winrar. Search how to/tutorial to edit language file xda. You will find several good tuts. The same tools are also used to make themes in case of searching ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
No, there are different folders which you'd have to copy over. Things like values-es for espanol etc.

You'd have to deodex the files and then decompile them.

I'll see what I can do. But it's already taking longer than expected.

I'm currently on the run, I hope I can zip everything up as soon as I'm home this night.

One small thing to fix.
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
now only 1 problem need to be solved. CWM is unable to create external_sd folder into internal sdcard by itself while flashing.

Rest all is going pretty good
[LG Optimus 2x] Chuck Bartowski:
It is not very important. We can do it manually ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kostja_V:
How about enabling init.d in a ramdisk and putting there script to create/check this folder on every reboot?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Great! I hope to have German language included.

Will that be like a final LG ICS rom without any bugs?
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
This is what I love about this forum. New stuff on a Sunday :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] Impact7:
I did this stuff often and try to add the languages from v28 (First I´ll try german and than the other ones).

But tomorrow I am until 8 pm at the universitiy and tuesday until 7 pm.. So first achievements can be seen on friday or later. And I still need to do a lot of maths homework...

Is it possible to get the languages in a .zip? Or the system dump of the p990 leak. (There should be every language if I´m not wrong. Just did this with apps before^^)

I need my phone the next days and really have no time to flash it and take it from it.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Ah great :)

I'm not sure if there is a system dump of the v28 ROM, you'd have to look at the leak thread about it.
[LG Optimus 2x] PaKii94:
Yay I got two things to look forward to. Stock ICS and cm10 for g2x

Sent from my sexy G2x
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
The last version went through nine iterations from 0.90 to 0.98 so it was (as always) more work than hoped.

I think it's now ready and stable enough for it's public release.

Thank's a lot to harsh who has great impact on this update.

A couple notes:

follow the install instructions carefully or you will run into problems

as said before: I won't fix every little issue - this ROM is hopefully just a temporary solution until LG releases official ICS for the P990.

Personally I am way more interested in the CM10 development anyways, but I wanted to provide an easy to use (flashable) solution.

feel free to use this zip as a base for new changes - but upload it into this thread or into the dev leak one.

If you're adding great value (like multilanguage support) I will update the OP with your build.

Most noticeable changes:

The bsod on screen off bug is fixed

fixed in call audio

added newest Superuser.apk and su binary

Updated PlayStore to v3.9.16 (no restrictions version)

replaced v30c camera with v28 one

removed the LG Messaging app and replaced it with the AOSP/CM ICS one

added Stock LG Browser & LGAlarm
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
is there LG UI3 weather widget.apk which we can install without problem?

and ofc.. nice to see that u fixed and continued this tread ! :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Nope, the weather widget isn't included. However, you can get it from the leaked ICS thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] googgiggs:
Thanks a lot tonyp and harsh.

Already flashed and everything work as you (and I) wish!! :good:

It's still one issue, this rom don't support USSD code. I know this may not important for most of the people. But can anyone please give me some guide to make the rom support USSD code? Or it is impossible?

Thanks in advance for any kind of answer. :o
[LG Optimus 2x] scaromouche:
any ideas how to make usb mass storage connection?
[LG Optimus 2x] speedyranger:
i try to install that rom but i have error on recovery:

Formatting system and flashing symlink :some symlink failed

E:Error in /sdcard/Rom/P990_Stock-ICS_experimental_v0.98.zip

Installation aborted.

i have installed cwm 5.0.2.0 from rom manager.md5 is right.

what's happend? i can risolve?

thx
[LG Optimus 2x] sanjib734:
Try to format your system as ext3.I am om cwm 6.xx still able to install using this method.
[LG Optimus 2x] syzwn9:
Guys, when the phone is charging, is it too warm/hot like in CM10?

Cheers :D
[LG Optimus 2x] MMarkkk:
-no signal
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Yes that. Discussed in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34009922&postcount=846
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Dunno if thats any help, but call audio issues seem to have disappeared in my case (on CM10). Ive been running the phone for a week on v28e BB and 1108 nightly (updated to 1114 only yesterday) with no audio issues whatsoever. I used to have them with all nightlies b4 1108 and on 218, 420 BBs. Sry if threadjacking, just thought id mentioned it. No ROM tweaks, no wiping/fix permissions or any SDcard swapping.
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
Thanks a million! I couldn't find the post as I was searching for posts from harsh and it was posted by Tonyp lol
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
How often do you restart your phone? The audio issue is apperantly something that comes after some usage time - when you flash new nightlies or restarting for other reasons this will fix it for a while.

:p

By the way: I've just started the upload. I'm going out into an extremely good restaurant now, when I'm back here the upload should be finished :)
[LG Optimus 2x] CarloIT:

New Build!

Fasle alarm. Was apparently some testing stuff.

*keeps on waiting*
[LG Optimus 2x] Andy HOT:
I suppose it's up...

I think the 3.0 28g build is up I started downloading!!*fingers-crossed*!

EDIT: I have downloaded a test thing I think because the zip is only about 34 mb so thats not the full file I suppose.
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
Bad move. I think you did really a bad move by posting a link to TonyP's downloading folder without asking him. Let him finish his tests and he will upload the link by himself. Why a display of such an impatience? This is Dev section and non-devs should not try to become oversmart like that. You posted a link to tonyp's folder and misled AndyHOT who downloaded that incomplete 34 mb file (P990_Stock-ICS-v28g-v3.0-standard.zip). THAT ALSO LED TO 20+ USELESS DOWNLOADS. Downloading a file which is not yet uploaded fully may corrupt on some servers. So please wait until DEVs show you the right path themselves.

You are mis-led.
[LG Optimus 2x] Andy HOT:
I wasn't misled I just explored his folder cause he said he was uploading so it's not his fault:))
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
Great job guys!

Very good ROM.

Tonyp, would you consider to add in the instructions that after creating the "external_sd" folder you have to reboot the phone first and then go to recovery?

I didn't do it so I had to search in the thread to find out that this is necessary. :victory:
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
hmmm truth is that i reboot quite regularly trying to avoid the charging bug (which maybe resolved by now, didnt even think about it..). Ive only rebooted once in order to install a new nightly. While this maybe the reason why i dont audio issues, its still fine by me. Battery drain is still skyhigh though, double what i had on cm7. Oh well, i know some devs that r getting ready to jump on the cm10 soon.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
What do you mean he was uploading? Why custom40 will upload the rom developed by Tonyp? The link was not posted by Tonyp and he must be still working on it. He should not be disturbed like this.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
36h uptime here, no sign of call bug on stock rooted v28g.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Neither in Italy nor in France - but yes, it was an Italian ristorante ;)

Uhm I didn't fully understand? In my instructions is written that you need to restart after the ROM has been successfully booted once, this should properly initialize the external sd.

I uploaded into the "test" folder, usually goo.im hides folders labeled as test, have to ask the admin why this doesn't work anymore hehe

As a general rule - please don't post links or speak about new versions before I announce them in the thread - it leads a) to confusion and b) pretty often isn't the final version, yet.

As goo.im is a linux server I sometimes unzip the file, add some extra stuff and rezip it again. But won't change the version number (as I didn't yet publicly announce that version). So if you downloaded it too early you _think_ you got the newest version, but it e.g. still contains the old kernel. (That's why I usually hide my uploads, as I spoiled the "test" folder now I will use a different hidden foldername in the future :p)

Anyways, as my wifi is really flawky here the upload unfortunately was cancelled, I resumed it now and it should be up in about 15-20minutes.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
For me this didn't fix it.

Then I saw this, so I went back to 2.3, I deleted the folder (:p), I created it again, I did a reboot, and then continued with flashing yours again.

And now it can see the external SD (and it didn't even need a reboot - as soon as I was in I could listen to my music).

Strange? :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Okay, it is up. Download link is at the second post.

Both OP posts have been updated.

Changelog:

CWM Encryption error fixed (you can use any recovery now)

updated to v28g

kernel updated. fixes the bluescreen issue and a couple more bugs & memory leaks

I renamed the version scheme. The former "vlite" version has been rebranded as "standard version".

We might rename the "full version" to "extended version" (as it needs an extended /system partition) - it's not uploaded yet, I hope harsh can do it as my wifi here on my vacation home is really slow and flawky.

Some notes to the recovery:

I'd recommend the official CWM 6.0.1.5 Touch or the newest TWRP - as this will help the hardware keys to survive longer :D

You can flash CWM with the ROM Manager, but unless you haven't paid you can't install the Touch version with it.

But you can use my freshly zipped NVFlash CWM6 touch Recovery flasher (based on Rusty!'s method):

http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/P990-stuff/various/CWM6.0.1.5 touch NVFlash-tonyp.zip

Remove battery, hold both Vol - & Vol +, connect the phone to your notebook and use the "install_cwm6.bat" file (or the matching linux sh install script). APX driver is included.

This will flash CWM without touching any other partition.

Ok, gonna try that, thanks a lot Harsh!!! :victory: thanks to you too tonyp

[LG Optimus 2x] oscarmiranda90:
im going to reflash again! i hope the slow SD scanning got solved =( any one knows how to solve this i case the problem persist?
[LG Optimus 2x] ensboarder:
Thanks tonyp...

my english is not very good and step 3 kind of confuse me, im using CM10, creating external_sd and full wipe and flash should work ?
[LG Optimus 2x] oscarmiranda90:
Idont have google search and i cant find it in play
[LG Optimus 2x] jasjeev4:
Step 3 just means you can use any recovery.
[LG Optimus 2x] froki:
@tonyp, I know that it is written in the manual, but is it necessary to format /system if I had previously installed your v28e vlite rom and I'm now upgrading to v28g standard?
[LG Optimus 2x] csunny95:
May I know how can I revert the sdcard mount into cm7 mount on this build?
[LG Optimus 2x] mparack:
Just a heads up guys, the build.prop in this ROM causes ROM toolbox to not recognise the correct device if you are installing the normal CWM 6.0.15

Make the sure the following are as shown

ro.product.model=LG-P990

ro.product.brand=generic

ro.product.name=lg_star

ro.product.device=p990

ro.product.board=p990

This should enable you to flash the latest non touch CWM through ROM Manager.

What min free values is the best to multitasking?
[LG Optimus 2x] paleee:
You can believe me, I almost pulled out of my hair because this gps fix problem... restarted the phone many times with the old BB but nothing happened, almost reverted back to Gingerbread so placebo or not, this 28e BB solved my problem.

An other question, it will be quite lame: is there a way to copy back some stock apps to this lite/standard version, for example calculator, weather app etc.? I've found the apk / odex files, is it enough to copy them back to /system/apk and give them the right permissions?
[LG Optimus 2x] SYSCRUSHER:
Tonyp and Harsh,

Many thanks for your amazing rom. I was very satisfied with previous version, I'm trying the new one. But I want to ask you if it's possible to include catalan language in next version, when it comes (I'm not in a hurry, of course!). I think catalan language is included in stock rom and I have used previously many roms whith it inclouded. And catalan is spoken by almost 11 million people, more than danish language or suomi, for example, which are inclouded in rom. So, this is my wish for a future new version!

Thanks in advance, and go on whith the good (excellent) job!:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] jasjeev4:

Great job guys!!!

i've just intalled it, well, before i change BB to V28G.

And as a first impression, I should say that from where I am now, slightly improved coverage Hsdpa. Connects very quickly.

I'm from Spain (Vodafone) and I've had problems with CM10 calls and BB 725, we'll see how it goes with this V28G.

i've talking with Vodafone "machine", "she" ;) understands right, I tried to say several phrases and always was right. It appears that good call quality.

Many thanks for your work.
[LG Optimus 2x] jasjeev4:
Deep sleep/BSOD issue still there in latest version :/
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
Guys my Nexus 4 delayed by crappy google play service. Very disappointed.

Will be putting extended version of v28g ROM today online.

Note: in call bug is not solved completely only reduced its chances of happening, but now we have 99% reason to believe it's due to memory related thing. Now need RC magic again to fix it completely.
[LG Optimus 2x] Custom40:
Erm... No calculator in the new build? Lol anyone got the original .apk calculator file they could post? Thx.

[LG Optimus 2x] jasjeev4:
Maybe it depended on whether you were on the vlite or full version. Didn't see it on vlite
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
on v28e lite no calls for me.

on v28g looks it's working.

I will use it few more days. Thanks tony and harsh. :good:

Btw Tony you forgot change title v28e/v28g
