Smartflash now working! BB Flashed

Cool! This worked for me. I've been looking for a guide on how can I make Smartflash work so I can flash BB, until I clicked on the last replies and browsed backwards.

Here's what I did.

1. NVFlash Stefan's v28G ROM (not deodexed)

2. NVFlash the patch

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1480938&d=1352889504

3. Rebooted to CWM and Wiped Cache & Dalvik (even with no errors)

4. Pull the battery out and enter S/W Upgrade mode (Volume Down + Plug in the USB)

5. Smartflash v28 BB

6. Finally, NVFlashed Stefan's v28G Deodexed
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Heads up:

New NVFlash versions (v28E & v28G) are uploading! (Will take some hours).

New features:

fixed bootloader, so Smartflash will work again for everyone

CMW Recovery 6, no more too big font in CWM, also no more /cache errors

fixing sizes of recovery partition and boot partition

NO full wipe required!! New NVFlash version can backup your /data partition and restore later (Internal SD will still be wiped!)

Noob-secure flashing process. Telling the user exactly what to do and asks for confirmation before doing anything.

Stock LG ICS content for internal SD card can be flashed as well (user is asked) - gives some extra music, apps, videos

No more deodexed version. I think odexed works best.

Google Now (Online-version) preinstalled, still about 25 MB free space in /system partition

additional widgets from SU660 preinstalled

the new installation scripts are available for both Windows and Linux (tested by me extensively)

Windows APX driver included (for Linux not needed)

some minor things. A custom kernel by me will come as soon as we get the final kernel sources!
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
For use of titanium backup and others.....remember if you discover an issue that the moving between rom-file system types.....It might be the reason.

Thanks Ferrum Master, who t.f wants much free ram, I mean why buy 16gb ram for a Ubuntu pc if you want 15 free, android ain't no game.

Thanks also for this beaty release, till now never seen a smoothness like in all these leaked roms, now it's just a matter of time before carburano does some goodies for ram management, spica and Stefan with kernels and tonyp, Wkpark, pastime, harsh and everybody else forgotten here :)

No real bugs at all, only thing, probably mentioned but a few times black screen:)

I've been trough my life crisis last two weeks so I'd appreciate if someone tells me which line system partition size are located, I'd like 768 mb? I have like 2000 posts to catch up :)
[LG Optimus 2x] coolacrille:
Haven't had a single bsod on this rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Xanathoscl:
I have a problem, install the entire tutorial and were OK, but I need to install an application to my work and I get when trying to connect to port 8081 is closed, and I can open a port in Android? This happens to me only with 3g

helpme!!! :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] speedyranger:
you are not alone :cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] dafoxen:
+1
[LG Optimus 2x] hugoqueiroz94:
I installed the fix, and the new baseband, everything working :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
exchange doesn't work for me :(
[LG Optimus 2x] d02:
so far very good. no bsod , battery charges normally . network is working great

- battery life is great, with 3g on all the time it lasted all day long with no problems

- i feel that rom by harsh and tonyp was smoother . and i did not need to use any task killer . now it seems that i have to kill apps to make it run smooth

still , this is a great rom . just hope new version will just be a little bit smoother
[LG Optimus 2x] maharu567:
I have the v28g baseband and the v28g rom and sometime the gmail account don't syncronize. The email has a delay of some good minutes. The phone becomes very laggy after a day of usual use. I'll wait for Stefan's kernel... maybe the rom will be better...
[LG Optimus 2x] Pete Rask:
Hi Stefan and thanks!

Is it possible that you will as well make cwm zips out of this new release?
[LG Optimus 2x] mach2005:
Just keep the Free Ram higher.

Use Minfree Manager or do it manualy.

Then it will Fly...
[LG Optimus 2x] coolacrille:
And apps will be closed as you use them....

Just noticed for the fifth time since I flashed that screen wakes about ten seconds after I lock it. I didn't have this on CM10.
[LG Optimus 2x] dakoookie:
Did you have their vlite version? Because that's what I had and I also think it was better by just a tad performance wise... but the call bug and the daily bsods were unbearable for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] d02:
first used vlite and later full version.both were performing smoother than stefan`s version

but stefan`s is much more stable (no bsods, no call issues,battery charging...)
[LG Optimus 2x] moraize:
Just Install CM10 Nightly and See the difference !!!
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
True, it is very smooth but it aint finished, my battery dies overnight and gps works only half the time. It is a pretty fabulous start though. :)

You have to keep the app running, disconnect the headphones and reconnect them again - you get normal volume then

I have the same problem. However, this method does not work :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] xpr0nx:
Ok at first a Lot of thanx to Stefan! Now i want to Share my experience with this Rom.

1. Battery Life is great - way better than with CM7

2. Not a Single BSOD

3. No audio/call Problems (V28G Baseband) with excellent Audio Quality

4. Sometimes really HARD lags, with some apps installed nearly no smoothnes left. Lag lag lag everytime e.g. i open Facebook huge L A G.

5. Thinkin' of switchin' to CM7 or to another Phone... I'm tired of this whole crap... why cant LG Provide a good working Rom! Damn we have a dual core smartphone and not a Galaxy Ace...
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Yah, the good thing about tonyp/harsh ROM is that they already have a custom kernel and custom kernels tend to improve smoothness quite much, if they are good ones.

Bad thing is that this kernel also introduce stability problems, because the sources of latest P990 ICS kernel are not available yet.

We have waited for so long to receive ICS, so let's wait a bit more to get official sources of final P990 kernel, then things will be improved instantly. Codes for Ramhack, OC and UV are already available thanks to wkpark! But I decided for the sake of stability, not to build a kernel out of SU660 sources. Let's just wait for P990 Sources. :)

Sure, I will upload them now :) Please be aware that they do not upgrade bootloader (=fix of Smartflash Bug), CWM (from 5 to 6) or fix partition sizes for boot and recovery partition (were too small, could cause problems lateron). Only NVFlash version does that. So you might prefer to, as a one-time-upgrade, use NVFlash version. You can, with the new NVFlash versions, backup and restore your /data partition, so your settings and apps won't be lost. Only Internal SD will still be wiped.
[LG Optimus 2x] arnookie:
Hi Stefan Has your uploads finished yet?

Hi Stefan Has your uploads finished yet? Will they be posted to the first page?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Already done, 2 new NVFlash versions are online, 1 new CWM version as well and one CWM version still in upload!

They are in the usual folder where the old uploads were, in a subfolder called "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)", but in case you need direct link: http://d-h.st/users/gueste/?fld_id=7403#files
[LG Optimus 2x] arnookie:
Thank you Stefan your a star. :eek:) Are you posting an NV flash version also? Which do you recomend cw flash or NV Flash?

Sorry see nv flash is there. Dough!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] vEget7:
THANK YOU sir stefan.. btw i will stuck in your deodexed rom for a while,(v28g & bb 28g)i have no issue encounter yet,and eagerly waiting for your custom kernel,hope lg release the source code for our P990 soon.. THANK YOU.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Thanks :) I already wrote multiple times (example http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34189425&postcount=738 at bottom of post) that the new NVFlash version should, for several reasons be preferred, at least as a one-time-upgrade of bootloader and CWM :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Socratesx:
Hi guys.

I have two issues with the rom.

1. I can't connect my bluetooth headset. Although it finds it when I press to connect then I get a fail message because the password doesn't match. The problem is that I don't know how to enter the correct password. In other roms after pressing to connect a window was asking the password and I simply entered it and it worked. Now no window and I cannot connect. Do you know how can I resolve this?

2. The rom doesn't identify my phone. For example I download the getril app and it says that my device is not supported.

I have installed a deodexed rom with the more widgets the nvflash version. BB updated to 28G and ril also.

The rom looks great and I want to keep it but no bluetooth is not an option. If you know something please help.

Thanks!

At the moment all still running great

LG PC Suite?

Just NVflashed the latest LGP990_ICS_v28G_Root_CWM6_initd_NVFlash_2ndGen. And LG Mobile Sync cannot detect it under LG Software connection type. Is it just mine? Can someone confirm? Anyway, not really a major issue for me, I just thought that it's nice trying out. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
I had the same issue with the LG Suite and I have already deleted the file from my hard disk....I was only seeing the Korean (I suppose it is korean :p) and I have to learn that to use it....lol

((( Any major difference between V28E & V28G )))

((( Any major difference between V28E & V28G )))

Hi guys

Any major difference between V28E & V28G :angel:, currently im on V28E it works flawlessly at sometime its lag when installing app from playstore, i dont want to NV_flash again, any editional feature compare to V28E.:fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 2x] orangisengbanget:
why CWM 6? it's very slow when conducting backup
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Because the previous CWM 5 nearly gave me eye cancer due to the big font! I could have just changed the font (wkpark told me how), but as I had to fix another CWM-problem anyway I tried switching to CWM 6 base instead and liked it very much. Also it looks nice. I'm no expert in differences of CWM versions, but I think they have done some improvements CWM 5 -> CWM 6 for sure. What else would be the purpose of CWM 6.

Do you think the slowness you experienced is really CWM-related in general? It might also depend on the other parts of the recovery image (which in my case are v28G based).

Just try it maybe you will like it :cowboy:
[LG Optimus 2x] hellraiser:
So now i can take backup and restore it from CWM 6.

Hi Stefan,

So now we can take backup and restore it from CWM 6 with out any issues, i to love CWM 6 awesome touch version, has any one tried to successfully restored cwm 6 nandroid, currently im on CWM 5 so i can directly flash CWM6.zip through cwm5.
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
When i was on CM10 and was using CW 6 there were problem with the backup. They couldnt be restore. I wad not only person having this issue check original cm10 thread.

So stefan i think it is bad idea to be on version 6 it is not reliable. Also it create a folder with thousand of small files which slowdown the sdcard.

Version 5 is best reliable and good compatibility. Why go on 6 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] AngelOfMors:
For LGP990_ICS_v28G_Root_CWM6_initd_NVFlash_2ndGen.tar.7z in file: flash_windows_NO-FULLWIPE.bat need replaced .\nvflash.exe -> nvflash.exe
[LG Optimus 2x] xIceCream:
Is this ROM recommended to use as daily driver? Or should I wait a little longer for the custom kernel + sources?

I've been following this tread 24/7, and saw quite alot of people having trouble flashing. I fear that I'll encounter similar problem.

What you guys' advice?
[LG Optimus 2x] cl06:
For me v28g nv flash rom its totaly stable. I`m on v20a my stock BB in Brasil. No in call bug, battery is great even with 3G on, LG camera is nice!! And google now is working. Some lags when install some apps... Anyway... awesome!
[LG Optimus 2x] rmrajm1:
Wow new update great......But 650mb, ha i will need a whole day probably to download from dev host unless i get some mirror.....ny mirror link please for V28G nvflash version with size 653.57mb....:)

Stable tan stock gingerbread..lg seriously made awesome ROM and Stephan made it available for us before lg releases (no one knows which year)

IT means that we cant make backup on internal?
[LG Optimus 2x] leonleonleon:
Hi everyone.

I want to try this rom but i need some answers firts because i am at the army and I can't search it that much.

I have cm5 with ics rom (not this one), Can i flash this rom with cm5 without having a pc?

If yes which link should i follow? I want a clean lite rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] AngelOfMors:
dont't restore of /sdcard content after NVFlash, need boot phone and use mass storage.

Bug in Google Now:

1. Don't close afte press Back-key, need press Home

2. Older version
[LG Optimus 2x] hellraiser:
Is google now working fine in V28G

Hi,

Is Google now working fine in V28G, or its lags very much :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Ditto. I would definitely prefer CWM 5. I am downloading the new ROM right now, and will flash right away, but I am replacing CWM with v.5 from the previous build. Don't care about the large font, I can live with that.

Actually, this can be changed by selecting a TAR backup type from the menu (at least in Touch version). The problem is that the setting doesn't stick -- the blob format is always set by default, and if you want to use TAR, you have to change it every time.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
Okay maybe I will in some days make a CWM 5 with smaller font for those who prefer it.

No it doesn't.

No general bug, please check your SD cards.

Google now is only available as a ported version for Armv7 ICS devices. It's from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224

Point 1 you mentioned: you are right.

Point 2: besides calling an older version "bug" : it is the latest ported version available.
[LG Optimus 2x] daas88:
I think I'll stick to the cwm5 version with the fix. I don't like cwm6 and I really hate the hacked Google now for ICS, its too slow to be usable :/

I switched to this rom from tonyp+harsh's because I messed it up while trying to restore the normal Google search (because of said slowness), and I nvflashed this to wipe everything.

Sent from my LG optimus 2x with ICS :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Only if you have no better things to do... :) Seriously, CWM can easily be replaced by a recovery image from a previous build, and the large font is just a minor thing. Stefan, your time and effort (which is most greatly appreciated!) would be much better spent on something else.

I am not arguing, but just curious about this one... What is the purpose of a command syntax like ".\" in a Windows batch file? I would never use it, and I don't understand it.
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
:good::fingers-crossed::good: For now everything is perfect ... for me, of course!

Little use but still functional ... like the previous ... Good Work, Stephan. :good::fingers-crossed::good:
[LG Optimus 2x] madhand1:
sorry Guys.. looks like same old GB as per Stefan on the other thread as the available ROM is

V20S not V28

..... Ignore the post.....

Guys.. one more new leak and dont ever download this.

Do not download the new Leaked ROM.. its the old GingerBread Rom... Please LG stop playing and work like a man..

As per stefan

Is it from reliable source? Because the latest version should be v28++ not v20 :confused:

About small Internal sdcard, I can suggest to use directorybind

No need to change the format of the backup each time you make a nandroid backup!

Selects a first time and it's all ... the nandroid backup always be carried out in the following format chosen ... at least to me like this happens! ...

I fu.. my phone many times and have a little worry :) but like everyone talking, this phone is unbrickable :) Today I will give a shot. I clened my external card and format it slow :) And preparing to flash ;)

Downloaded onec - can't open with 7zip, trying second time now
[LG Optimus 2x] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
the tar folder is inside the 7z file

wow stef, i like what you done with the dos menu'. makes everything a ordered process which removed the chance for ppl reporting back info on a different state... now all follow same path state. and the reports can be verified easier. jenius!
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
Yes but I can't open even 7z file so download must be broken. Will see in a couple minutes.

how i can mount the sd card like cm7?

All I had to do was plug phone into laptop and on the phone pull down the notification area and select USB Connected. Then choose Mass storage from the menu. Does yours not work?

hmm... but on that Fixed Chinese version ..there is calendar and contact widget, is it useful in any way?

EDIT: see attachments.

aloha Stefan! thanks for the great work here bro! just to ask you and clear something out. Im currently using the tonyps version... and I was looking your ones... can you teel me/us, whats the difference between yours and tonyps ? thanks in advance !!

@Stefan After two maybe three reboots the UI gets MUCH MUCH faster. Not sure why but one reboot didn't do it.

Wonder if Chrome will run at a decent speed?!

for mount i say swap emmc to extsd like cm7 scuse me for my bad english :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] Brawler7:
Flashed this ROM two hours ago . With the use of Titatinum Backup ( paid version ) , I even managed to restore all of my apps with data from a Nandroid backup which was made by the old bootloader and CWM 5.0.2.8 . Satisfied in the first couple of hours of use . I like the new UI from LG . Something different and pretty to look at . I like the Quick Memo , very fun yet usefull . I am sure that once Stefan is done with his new kernel that it will only improved from here . Even Carbunaro :good: is already testing his alpha version of Django Manouche 2.0 , so it will not be long from now that users have enough choices which ROM to use , whether STOCK or CM10 .
[LG Optimus 2x] cmahendra:
After flashing this, my google account automatically installed Nova Launcher and wow, its super smooth and fast even in first boot. Just in case someone likes Nova Launcher over default launcher may try.

EDIT: It is always wrong to presume certain things, Few months back many of them were saying ICS will not work properly on O2X due to insufficient hardware. Now that is proved false. Its even running smooth on first leak, then we can imagine what will happen after a month or two. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] SandyKick:
Amazing work !

Just wonderful work stephan :) 100000 likes for this rom not seen any bug till now tested for hf an hour, der is some lag but hope it will comup with your kernel.

Well Finally 02X is Awesome now ! Loving it !!! Kudos to Stephen :) Guys dont even think just go ahead with this ROM :)

Stephan can you please tell me wether i can remove some apps like, Smartshare | LG email | Application Manager | ??? just to free up my ram :)

any suggestions ?

I am unable to connect to d-h.st. Not sure why :confused: and every one else don't seem to have any problem.

Will be much appreciated if some one could post a mirror for this awesome rom.

Thank you.

You can use Titanium Backup to do the job.

Most of the information is available on first posts of both devs, if you read them (RTFM) then you will really save some time of our devs. How about reading both whole threads? Only few first or last pages?

Ohh yeahhh! i will try it now.
[LG Optimus 2x] m4rkiz:
nice rom, not as fast as last nightly cm10, but much better than official gingebread

few things that annoys me:

- key backlight is COMPLETELY useless - they shorthen the time to 1,5 - 5 seconds or so and it is still at blinding brightness that cant be changed - so i don't know which key im going to press but i will be blinded as soon as i do... or i can have them always on...

- shutter sound can't be turned off

- why es file explorer? it is not bad but hardly an user friendly app
