Aaahm I'm in some minutes offering a package to flash only CWM on phones with already unlocked new boot loader. But If you have no unlocked you can't use it :/ Was there no package for unlocking? if you want you can flash my latest ROM with CWM included , so you would need to take the NVFlash version of it. This would also mean full wipe!
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
can i use your kernel on harsh and tonyp ics?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
I haven't made a kernel yet! It's the original v28E kernel, and it cannot run on harsh/tonyp ics because of different bootloader / partitioning!
[LG Optimus 2x] ckjwee:
Stefan,

Eager to run them in my phone on your great work!

But I could'nt download any from d-h.st ,

It say "web page not available"

Any other mirror beside d-h.st

thks
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
great work Stefan....

I have felt the same....looks like the Dev host server is slow due to heavy traffic for ROMs from other developers, devices too.....

I thought that the xda servers were a bit better....just a thought to reconsider if you can

THANKS FOR THIS GREAT ROM, to you, to tonyp and Harsh for the ICS start

Always encountering busybox not installed error when trying to browse system partition using solid explorer on this one.
[LG Optimus 2x] patedit:
Works fine with Es Explorer :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
because in stock ROM busybox is not located in xbin but in bin folder. You just call it with "busybox" -- solid explorer on the other hand wants to call it with /system/xbin/busybox which fails because it doesn't exist there. I'd say it's rather an app error than a ROM design error.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
It won't be a big problem to adapt it to the old layout, that's done in a couple minutes.

If there's a public demand for the kernel on the flashable zip version harsh or I will port it over, no biggie :)

That's the great thing when working with the sources.

But it depends on when the kernel will be available.

Currently we're busy with working down the issues list. Just did a testflash to confirm the usb connection bug which resulted in a bluescreen is fixed.

Time to go to sleep now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
I would really love to use any version higher than Gingerbread but after facing the 'call sound' issues on CM10, I am afraid to try out any new rom. Stefan, thanks and I'm sure I'll try it soon. I just don't want to try out something new just yet when I use this phone for work :P

[LG Optimus 2x] ykin:
This is a gorgeous rom which is always smooth, no bsod and fast charging with ram manager.

I am using LGP990_ICS_v28G_Root_CWM6_initd_NVFlash_2ndGen. After testing, its battery drain problem is alleviated by using v28e ril.

I'm not sure if the kernel of v28e would use less power, but it is good enough at the moment. :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] mickru:
Can you share if there is a noticeable difference for you after flashing the V28G baseband?

I successfully installed the V28G 2nd gen version via nvflash on the weekend. I did not touch the baseband yet and its showing as unknown. So far I have not found any technical issues with the phone except wrong battery stats which I solved by wiping them using recovery.

However I'm also not so super happy, due to lags when using the phone like starting app drawer, starting apps etc. Everything is working but with a little lag that just does make the phone feel underpowered. So can this be due to old baseband? Why did you update the baseband? What did you try to change/improve? Will the new baseband fix the lags?
[LG Optimus 2x] ykin:
I don't think the baseband V28G gives a different compared with V28E.

When I use V28G ril, I need to charge my phone 2 times a day.

When I use V28E ril, I need to charge my phone 1 time a day.

Ram manager is like autokiller which makes my phone manages ram better and provides swapping.
[LG Optimus 2x] leonleonleon:
Nice work man. I installed the rom yesterday and everything works perfectly.

I Just want To ask about the battery drain. The Android OS ia 1st at the list, is that issue from the ics rom?

[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
I hope it won't come so soon as it would mean v28g is final and that will be a bad news. It would mean LG didnt fixed lag and battery drain.
[LG Optimus 2x] Shadowchaz:
I've been using v28g for about a week now and is mostly great, but I always have the answer phone icon even if I have no messages, so I don't always know if I have a new one. Anyone else with this 'feature'?
[LG Optimus 2x] Jobalaba:
Due to call bug in CM10 I NVFlashed this stock ICS today. Have been using it a few hours now and so far it's working great! And it looks nice too ;). It's not as smooth as CM10 but when the new kernel is ready I hope this will become smoother. Very nice work Stefan!
[LG Optimus 2x] Topogigi:
This is a very particular phone indeed. In my experience the 28gBB/28GROM combo gives excellent results regarding battery life. Finally fast dormancy works as it should and gives me 1.3% per hour of battery drain on 3G with all the syncs on. And tweaking the rom a little, I don't notice any lag even with the stock launcher. This is my actual (a bit tweaked) config:

EXT4 for all partitions with noauto_da_alloc option and timed commits

fully deodexed rom based on Stefan's first iteration of this rom with all LG and Google apps updated in /system

Supercharged (HTK launcher) and Kick-ass-kernelized with nitro lag nullifier option

With this config and some other little tweaks, I see no redraws in launcher and the rom is snappy after three days of constant usage. It's definately a good base to work on, IMHO.

I know on the other side that this phone has so many faces and so different behaviours that you cannot extract a common law from my own experience, so I believe that your mileage can vary very much....
[LG Optimus 2x] csunny95:
Is it necessary for me to flash my BB to v28 when I am using this rom?? Or I can just stick to my old BB( I was using 327 before)
[LG Optimus 2x] xandersps:
Hi, topogigi.. this mean that you come back to work for this device? :) I followed your first work on this phone and i think that a large cooperation with stephan and carburano is a great thing!

[LG Optimus 2x] andreas157:
there seems to be no battery drain in the second generation roms after wiping battery stats.

8 hours, 15 minutes call, 30% voice calls, 23% screen , 18 cell standby, 2% wifi and i'm still at 89%.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
wiping battery stats.....has been told by several other devs that...is just a non-existing dream...fantasy

but we all know that we have so many different device types(lol :) ) by the name called P990 and so many different scenarios....that anything and everything is possible

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING A WONDER DEVICE mate :p
[LG Optimus 2x] dapezzz:
Hello,

I've flashed V28G (Gen2) + BB 28G and I can confirm that battery life has been drastically improved.

I leave my phone unplugged at night and I lose 0 or 1% only in 8h of sleep ! I think my phone could last 1 year if I leave it in sleep mode :p

Of course, when I use the phone the drainage get higher, but in reasonable proportions.

FYI, I have 3G always on, no wifi and my use is music, mail and a bit of bubble shoot game :)
[LG Optimus 2x] csunny95:
Isn't the nvflash version of v28g comes with the v28g ril and v28g kernel?

Thats what I'm wondering as well. I'm still with stock GB baseband. I do not want to introduce issues by flashing a new baseband. But if it would remove the lags... I'd go for it :)

[LG Optimus 2x] mickru:

I flashed the ROM. What I said was that I use the ICS ROM with my GB baseband. I did not flash a new baseband. But my ICS is laggy. So I would like to know if the ICS baseband would remove the lag of the ROM. :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] kingvortex:
The 28g baseband will not remove the lag. Try adjusting the minfree settings. I have done this and the rom is very usable now.

[LG Optimus 2x] besho2222:
Thanks Stefan for this more than great ROM, just my cellphone reboots aloooooooot, and sometimes right after it reboots it enters another bootloop after entering the home screen, I'm really smothered, anyone help?
[LG Optimus 2x] NinosM1:
Believe it or not, I am actually studying IT.

I just dont understand some things about flashing mobiles.

I currently have 7.2, Am I able to flash it ontop of it? or do i have to go back to stock "rom" made by LG?

after I flashed the rom, are there other things which i should install? or is everything done?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
:D

Well you download latest NVFlash edition.

You unpack everything to your Windows or Linux machine.

You open either Linux or Windows installation scripts. If you use Windows you have to install the bundled APX drivers first.

You follow the installation script - it will tell you what to do. When the script says "take out battery, press VOL UP and VOL DOWN simultaneously and connect phone via USB to PC at the same time" then you do exactly the same.

When installation script ends without errors, you are done.

Hint: as you are on CM7 currently you will loose all you app data and data on your internal SD card. External SD remains untouched, You cannot use the backup function of NVFlash version, as you are not coming from ICS already.

P.S.: This installation procedure does not require any specific mobile device flashing knowledge. It's just following instructions and running a single commandline application. As an IT student you should be capable to do this without any problems .... :o
[LG Optimus 2x] kekks:
For people who dont understand how to nv flash, this is the most simple way Stefan or anyone could answer and if still anyone cant understand, then please dont do it.

Stefan Thanks for the rom, its d odex 28g nvflash version, switched back to 28e baseband from 28g, battery life slightly better in28e compared to 28g.

Phone lags at times in 28g compared to 28e, but its bearable.

Finally LG has worked on 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] mondc1088:
Thanks for confirming this,on the vlite version of tonyp it does not work but I'll try this. Was asking this because the USB connection on my O2X is flaky,only way to get it to work is to switch from AP USB to AP UART so thanks for the tip.

Back to my own Gingerbread GoodBye ROM v2.0R

Personal note November 20:

Let's face it:

After all stock ICS currently just is no good for many people's everyday use. I explicetly don't say it's not good for anybody because even the crappiest ROMs tend to work perfectly on some phones.

So cocluding from my own ICS usage experience with the latest v28E & v28G builds:

stock ICS indeed is very smooth while scrolling, even without a custom kernel

but unfortunately with rising workload it starts hanging and lagging annoyingly much

for many people it is just not stable enough (yet)

More specifically today I've made new versions / rebuilds of my stock Gingerbread kernel and my Stock GB GoodBye ROM v2.0 (The rebuilt and updated ROM has just been released (NOV 20 2012).) and came to following conclusions:

GoodBye ROM is smoother than my current ICS builds and stays smooth

GoodBye ROM is more stable than my current ICS builds

GoodBye ROM is more energy efficient than my current ICS builds

GoodBye ROM is faster than my current ICS builds

GoodBye ROM offers a highly tweakable custom kernel and TrymHansen's outstanding GuesteOC app

So many people have written that this ICS ROM is a great ROM, well I can promise you guys, if you already like this quite non-perfect ICS, you will for sure love my Gingerbread Goodbye ROM v2.0R ! :cowboy:

In case you guys haven't tried it yet, I'd be happy if you do so. I've put quite much effort in the latest versions.

So if you want a ROM smoother, faster, more stable and more energy saving than my currently offered ICS builds, then you might want to try this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34379632&postcount=267 (NVFlash versions available)​

What does all this mean?

I'm going back to my Gingerbread ROM for my personal use

I'll watch further ICS development from there, everyone is free to join me

I will continue updating this ROM to the latest ICS bases as usual, just don't use them myself until performance and stability improves
[LG Optimus 2x] galpec:
Hello to all.

Can anybody confirm that any script in "/etc/init.d/" doesn't run at boot time?

For me the ROM gets really well for daily use when I modify the minfree values (with minfree app) ...but I confirmed that (even though I select the option of values to 'Apply at boot' time) the values return to the LG ICS default values.

I use linux at my work for daily bases and went to verify the script generated by 'app minfree' (/etc/init.d/98minfree) and then run it manually in the phone linux-TERMINAL-shell, and it runs/works also it has all the permissions...

By now, I am re-running the script generated by minfreeapp, every time I shutdown or reboot the phone.

ADD. INFO.:

BB V28G

RIL V28G

BUSYBOX 1.20.2 (stericson)

GUESTE 2nd reneration ICS ROM

I think this ROM IS GREAT, but being honest, Gueste GoodBye and DjangoManouche, with latest gueste kernel are way SMOOTHER.

Best regards to all

[LG Optimus 2x] atf_agent:
hi all

yesterday a played few minutes with a friend's galaxy S2 powered by ICS 4.0.4 stock rom.

It's simply amazing how smoooooth and fast this phone is. No optimization, no tweaks, no background task killers. It run much better and faster than on our sh...ty LG phone.

conclusion :

do not expect anything good from LG. They are not skilled enough to provide a correct rom as other can do.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Just use Auto Memory Manager to make sure you don't force Android into killing apps when you open others, and set background processes to 4 in Android developer options and most lag is gone.

Advantages of stock ICS to stock v20s:

- Camera is faster

- It looks light years better + newer gapps + Apex Launchery

- Much smoother experience and gaming is much better

- Built-in battery percentages, quiet-time, lock timer (wait 5/15 seconds after turning off screen for lockscreen to activate)

- Lockscreen with app icons & customizable click widget

- Uptime over 100 hours without major flaws, 50 hours uptime on v20s already requires a reboot because of memory leaks

- Booting is faster

- My phone charges in my car with Google Navigation and Bluetooth music, v20s never managed this

- Usually had a stutter on my Parrot in my car on connecting A2DP in my car, this doesn't happen anymore

- Customizable quick settings on the fly

These make me staying on ICS.

put in apx mode, (hold pwr down + pwr up) with no batt, while connecting usb, ding dong!~. run the .bat file.

@Stefan

I just read your post about ICS vs your latest Gueste2 goodbye rom.

Definitively you are a dev but your future is in the marketing.
[LG Optimus 2x] jmsmartins:
Stefan is just telling you the truth.. he gives us the latest and the best, we choose :)
[LG Optimus 2x] 4lph4:
+1 I agree with you, and I'll keep this ROM mostly because of the call quality and stable signal.

Battery life is quite good (1 charge each night), I can easily have more than 90% sleep time of the phone with my normal use (checked with BetterBatteryStats) even if I have some sync active all the time.

With other ROMs it was difficult to reach this level, so also the battery life suffered from it.

I also see that the battery voltage is different from previous version during charge if I leave the charger plugged in.

In GB the voltage goes up and down between 4100 and 4210 (like a small discharge), while on ICS the voltage stays almost flat between 4180-4210.

Any idea why they changed this behavior?
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
Fast Dormancy

Guys,

Googling to see how I can disable Fast Dormancy in ICS, I found this setting to set in build.prop:

Enable: ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

Disable: ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0

I am not sure if this is a valid setting for our ICS ROM. But it would be nice if finally enabling/disabling FD got so easy.

Could any dev verify this?

I set it disabled in my build.prop, but I don't realy know how to check if it is working or not.

I checked logcat before and after but I didn't notice something different concerning FD.

Does anyone know what exactly to look for?

Thanks

BTW. I am not leaving ICS too.

I am in Stefan's v28g deodexed one, with BB v28g and I have no problem at all.

I V6-SuperCharged it also and now it's even better.
[LG Optimus 2x] NinosM1:
Alright i did everything what you told me, but i think i got 1 small problem, my dos window stays on "Nvflash started", and my mobile says " S/W download"

It has been like this for almost 10 minutes now, did i do something wrong? what do i have to do now?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Yes. To enter into nvflash mode you need to push both +/- volume buttons simultaneously, not just vol-.

Unplug your device and try again.
