[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
I thought it would be interesting to see how everyone is using and configuring their LG G2X. I tried to figure out the most common items to list. Below is my phone's configuration:

UPDATED JULY 23, 2013

Android Version: CM7 Daily (March 1, 2013)

Kernel: Trinity T15-G2x-06022012

Overclocked?: Yes, default is 1.2GHz, profiles managed by SetCPU

Launcher: Holo Launcher Plus (paid)

Video Player: MX Player

Music Player: Winamp

Picture Gallery: QuickPic

Firewall: DroidWall

Camera Apps: LG Camera Pro (paid), Vignette, Night Cam, Action Snap, Zoom Camera

Email App: K-9 Mail

Important Android System Apps: Elixir 2, Battery Monitor Widget Pro (paid), ROM Manager Pro (paid), SetCPU for Root (paid), Fast Reboot

Text Messages App: default CM7 messaging

Notes:

- I use Droid Wall to block internet access to anything and everything that doesn't need it, including cameras, media players, books, calendar, contact list. In all, 40 apps are blocked. The speedup of my phone as a result is amazing.

- Phone is overclocked to 1.2GHz, profiles for cameras and video overclocks to 1.5GHz

- LG Camera Pro is the best camera app for this phone.

Other important apps: Robin (Siri), Kindle for Android, MySword Bible, TuneIn Radio Pro (Paid)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Android Version: Mokee OS latest

Kernel: Mazout360 stable

Overclocked?: No

Launcher: Mokee OS

Video Player: QuickPic

Music Player: Poweramp

Picture Gallery: QuickPic

Firewall: None

Camera Apps: CM7

Email App: Stock/none

Important Android System Apps: SetCPU, voodoo sound, fast reboot, reboot Scheduler.

Important Work Apps: none

Text Messages App: default CM7 messaging

I use fast reboot during the day to speed things up when they get slow, and reboot Scheduler at night to reboot while I'm asleep so that it's fresh in the morning.

Poweramp and voodoo sound are necessary to drive my headphones and car stereo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iLovPieNCake:
Android Version: Speedster Rom Alpha 27

Kernel: Mazkrnl 0427noOCnoDS

Overclocked?: 1100mhz limited by no OC

Launcher: ADWLauncher 1.3.3.8(ICS)

Video Player: QuickPic

Music Player: Play Music

Picture Gallery: QuickPic

Firewall: Why?

Camera Apps: FullHD mod1

Email App: Gmsil

Important Android System Apps: Voodoo Sound, Titanium Backup

Important Work Apps:

Text Messages App: default CM7 messaging

Notes:

- I like minimal amount of apps

- Speedster rom is my own creation soon to be released

- I turn off syncing on most of my apps because I found they drain battery and don't work well on gb.

- FullHD mod is probably one of the best camera mods because I find it is snappier than market camera apps and uses the default g2x camera so it uses that tegra hardware acceleration well. And full HD recording is nice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
I've been using Fast Reboot, thanks, I see the difference!

Do you and [MENTION=2626010]iLovPieNCake[/MENTION] use Voodoo Sound free or the paid app?

Where is FullHD mod? Is this a camera app, or a patch? Can you post a link?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iLovPieNCake:
I use the free version but I just checked out the paid and I might buy it.

I grabbed this mod from the o2x forums and I've had no problem with it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Voodoo free if you have kernel support. Voodoo paid is supposed to make it work even if you don't have it baked into the kernel, but it didn't work on stock CM kernel so I didn't bother.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
I like the viper audio app better than voodoo to be honest. I deleted voodoo 10 minutes after installing, and yes i have kernel support for it with Trinity. Viper makes a huge difference on my phone's audio. I also downloaded the camera mod from o2x forums. Works great!

-Thanks EEgineer

- With Fast Reboot (free) I get the best results when I have "Lock home in memory" checked in CM performance settings. No need to wait for the launcher to reload!

- I have the VM Heap size setting changed from 32m(stock) to 48m and performance has been MUCH MUCH smoother. Try it for yourself if it suits you!

-I use SD Maid about once every day-three and clean up with corpsefinder(not as useful past initial cleanup unless you install/remove a lot of apps) and systemcleaner(!) (all except Gallery thumbnails)

-My Backup root I just use for Call logs, SMS and MMS backup. I use Titanium Backup for all User apps only (filtered out system apps)

Other important apps: My Tracks (very cool!) Ulysse Speedometer, FuelLog, SwiFTP, KeePassDroid, Dropbox, BOX, Google Voice (LOVE IT!), Password Card.

PS thanks for the tips on DroidWall and Fast Reboot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
Wow, this is a blast from the past seeing all of the old G2x threads. I kinda miss it, as it is not as overbearing and huge like the Nexus 4 community. This is awesome. Anyways my G2x configuration consists of: dead, cracked screen and in my drawer, sadly, but if i remember correctly, I had one of the most recent CM7 nightlies, and possibly a Faux kernel, and a basic gingerbread launcher. It will not turn on, it's been dead for 5 months. The end of a legend (my first smartphone (G2x)). Good luck to everyone that currently has a G2x! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vaina001:
How do you get droidwall or any firewall to block the cameras? ive tried this and afwall app and the cameras never show up on the lists.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
If it's not on DroidWall's application list, then maybe that camera doesn't need network access.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Yeah I don't think cameras need network access either, like what Eengineer stated. However, if you just don't feel like having a camera app on your phone you could always freeze it with titanium backup or some other similar application. This way you could always get it back within just a few seconds if you want to use it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
It depends on the application. Some cameras want network access, some don't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Yeah some use it along with gps to tag location and upload automatically.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] zilla1126:
I need a way of charging a battery without it being in the phone while in the car - are there any options for me?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ednap:
I have not seen a car cradle with a battery charger slot but I have used a car invertor to supply power to my desktop cradle and charge a second battery on the odd occasion I need it.

The invertor simply take the 12 V DC from the car and inverts it to a 240v AC signal. The unit has a cig lighter socket on one end and a general purpose outlet socket on the other into which I plug the desktop charger AC adapter.

In you case (USA) you would only need a 110v unit. I paid A$50 for mine and use it to charge my notebbok etc. on those extended trips away from an AC socket.

Others may have alternative solutions for you.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Carlos:
You can also get a smaller, simpler device which goes into the cigarette lighter socket in the car and converts the 12v output to the required 5v input for the XDA.

Hi every one,

I have Sharp SH837W, when I try to install CWM, I wrote it to address 0x0 and it is bricked. I know I write something over its Preloader.

I tried but can't write down preloader again.

I tried to find TestPoint, maybe I found it but I don't know what should I do with it. I connect the test point with USB -5v and connect cable but still can't write anything (I got error 5054 in SP Flash Tool).

Could anyone help me?

Thanks alot.

[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Hello everyone.

I'm sure this question was asked, answered, and floated around with no real or coherent answer, but do we (Sensation community) have any kernel / rom with real vsync? By real I mean hardware vsync and not software emulated.

I know most of us seen the option to enable / disable it, but that doesn't really mean we have real mode vsync. The same question goes for triple buffering.

Now, I've searched, I know Bruce sort of implemented it on the November 23 build, I've sent him a pm regarding this doubt but I'm still waiting on a reply.

Can anyone shed some light regarding this matter?

Thanks so much for your attention, I mean no disrespect by asking this, I simply have no idea what we have working regarding this implementation.

Cheers

[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hi,

You said "a KERNEL" that supports "HARDWARE Vsync"; what do you think of your sentence? what is your definition of a kernel? do you suppose it a whole new CPU??
[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
Perhaps (almost) every kernel has it turned off by default, even though our hardware supports it. If you'd enable it, it'd be hardware Vsync.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
It was that hard to understand uh.

I mean, a kernel with the module or driver to support hardware vsync, not software aka emulated vsync like we have now.

Our hardware should be able to handle it yes, in theory any hardware should be able to handle it with appropriate drivers, if it handles it properly or lags like hell is another story.

Now to answer your questions (because it seemed like you were treating me like a five year old). The kernel is the core of any operative system, which literally bridges the communication between software and hardware.

And a whole new cpu ? I don't know what you mean by that.

Also your reply did not answer anything of what I asked. If your intention was to make fun, you failed and did not answer my question, if my assumption about your intention is correct, please refrain from posting next time, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry for making the wrong assumption.

[MENTION=4391972]ridder215215[/MENTION], we have almost on every kernel the vsync module, we can use an app like kernel tuner to activate it. And it will activate it, but will run emulated, as in, software mode, there is no *real* vsync here.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
We just need official drivers from HTC or Qcom or just port it from another device

Kind Regards

I want to upgrade to JB custom ROM on TF101. I have seen a quite few. But I want to know which one is the best. Also please let me know do we need to download all the apps after upgrading the ROM. Is there a way to keep the apps intact after upgrading or reinstalling by taking back up. Downloading again will take a lot of data and a lot of time. Please help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
You can back up your apps with titanium backup onto an SD card or other external storage, but you must wipe the tablet when upgrading to JB, I recommend team eos nightlies with KAT kernel, they work very nicely.

You can also get the apk files from /system/app I think or /data/app and reinstall after putting those back on the tablet after wiping.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tong143:
Shall you please let me know what is the purpose of KAT kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] needtoride:
I'm running Revolver 4.2.1. What are the advantages going to JB from ICS? I'm going on a long trip soon, so I'm mainly looking for stability, battery performance and keyboard/dock compatibility.

Also, I'm reading that we need to install TWRP to run JB ROMs? Or can I still use CWM?

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Lots of speed improvements over the stock kernel, fixes for different things like audio and gps

Grab the Kat-App too, that also boosts Audio and GPS

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Yes move to TWRP as soon as possible or risk bricking your TF as many have done trying to flash new ROMs with CWM

If you install Goo Manager you can easily install TWRP from the top right settings menu "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

Highly recommend TeamEOS4 and KatKernel in terms of everything you are looking for for your trip

Advantages over ICS are performance and stability and a new UI (Which is swappable with the ICS tablet version from settings in TeamEOS)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] needtoride:
OK. I looked at some tutorials to get a sense of TWRP and Goo Manager. I know you can view and download ROMs from GM. So after downloading the ROM, boot into TWRP to install it? How about flashing kernels and the Kat app you referred to? Is that downloaded and installed in the same procedure?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Yep exactly the same as a ROM, I do it this way

For a ROM

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and System

Install ROM

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

---

For a Kernel

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Install Kernel

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

---

For Gapps

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Install Gapps

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

----

Basically Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache between each flash and when your done, then reboot

For Kat App, its just an app, so wait until you're done with the above, boot into the ROM, get everything set up how you like it, then install the Kat App, its just an APK so you just use a file manager (ES File Explorer is my choice) and click it once to install it

Once in there, goto the Install section and install the GPS and Audio etc, the rest is pretty self explanatory, sections for Audio etc

EDIT - You don't have to use Goo Manager to download the ROMs or others either, sometimes its faster to use the PC and copy them over to the TF then reboot to recovery to flash them, you can use internal or external sdcards in TWRP, I have the links in my sig

I flash tons of roms and I love all of them. The only issue I have is when flashing some roms that are ported from other carriers (eg t-moble) I only get 3G and 4G icons showing in the status bar. I’m with Telus in Canada and I live in a LTE area. I know I’m getting LTE but I would just like to see that little LTE icon showing. Some roms I flash the LTE fix but that don’t always change the icons to show LTE either. Would there be a way for someone to make a flashable zip that would change these icons to 3G, 4G and LTE? A zip that could be used on any ported rom? Kinda like the stock icons. If someone could it would be great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
Sounds interesting... but it sounds like something that would have to be done with every individual Rom not a universal zip flash. You could also try going in and changing the file yourself in the filesystem.

so i booted back into to cwm and attempted a restore from the previous backup. and it shut off after it reached half way through the system restore. so i checked the storage mounts and nothing mounted so i mounted all but /osh and /preinstall. an reflashed cwm 6.x then it let me restore but still wont boot or cold boot. so i tried to fix permissions and it shut off immediately, then i tried a fresh install and as soon as the install started it shut off again.
