No, i'm with new bootloader........ Finally, I have used FasterFix that replaced correctly the gps.conf (instead of TopNTP).. And now, i'm able to fix 11 sats (but after many minutes)...

I have flashed that ROM after a full wipe....

Hi!

Incredible job Pengus! Can you tell me how can I have the "classic" settings ui?
[LG Optimus 2x] amarprat87:
this is what Tony had to say about this earlier,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46064097&postcount=612

You can change settings.apk to the one contained in clean CM 10.2 build, that'll solve this purpose... but I think that'll make accessing hybrid settings etc difficult.
[LG Optimus 2x] doctoralex:
Does any know which driver for mass storage, etc is compatible? I try the latest for Windows 7 from LG and it didn't work.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Which drivers? LG drivers....dont think we need anything more than that....have never used any other ones to connect my device to the PC

(if it was for NVFlash then it is apx drivers)
[LG Optimus 2x] flat__line:
on GPS ...

on exp-opt I've used topNTP with the suggested settings and I was able to fix even indoors (after a first, slow indoors fix with wifi on).

The question I use a firewall to block mobile data access: which app should I let through in order to exploit the agps functionalities optimized by topNTP?

Thank a lot,

[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
nope, just not stuffed with crap-apps that keep the phone awake, good reception, and 2 days are possible - like my screenshot earlier in this thread
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
what [MENTION=5077573]BS86[/MENTION] said... i never used airplane mode since i got the phone (18 months)

true - i don't use it as much as the other people do (especially since i got a tablet for home couch surfing/gaming/reading)

i don't have any syncs (gtalk, facebook,...) because i don't like being notified all the time (when i want to check for new e-mails or messages on facebook - i open the app)

also, many things are greenifyied... many are freezed or uninstalled that i don't use

i rarely use data (2g or 3g)

in detail:

phone calls - 33 minutes

screen on - 1.5 hrs (not much, i know)

wi-fi running - 11h 1minute

good reception (home), good wi-fi...

btw the phone runs at 216-1300mhz with 50mV underwolt

i have the shortest haptic button-on time selected (+ smallest led brightness - 1 - in kowalski manager)

tx power is set to 4dBm

if you want me to go in detail with all the phone settings and all the apps i have - i'll do it...
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
Ok, what version of the rom are you currently using. what GPS fix apps do you install, and could you give me a short run down of your install procedure, your welcome to PM me the details, we can post our results at a later time if we come across a solution.

stuff, like, do you keep that data partition, or restore it after the wipe?, ... do you install any form of gapps, or 3rd party flash zips other than the basic rom zip?

do you install apps manually from playstore, or restore from a backup?, Titanium or nandriod

and if so, do you do this right away. or do you allow the rom to rest during the first boot, and do the mandatory reboot after the initial setup, then install these apps.

sorry for the furry of questions. i normally fine a reason for odd happenings due to something we do. i would like to track that down.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
Okay, with exp i can get pretty much the same amount of time of screen on as i could with 20. All in all I can say so far that battery is 95% identical in exp and 20. The 5% difference is in deep sleep. I think exp can drain 2-3% in a period where 20 would drain 1-2%. I am still testing, have only been on exp since yesterday. but so far in total i say exp wins (most lagfree etc) :)
[LG Optimus 2x] doctoralex:
in any mode I get only a LG-P990 device
[LG Optimus 2x] pijas82:
I'm not here to fight, just say what I think. 60nine in your last post, you had the phone off or in airplane mode, just that the v20 has better battery life, little difference, the exp is more fluid etc ... for me I prefer to exp, but that's what we are here to exchange ideas, to make our phone better.

[MENTION=5414534]diogomike[/MENTION]

noone fights... just contemplating... my phone is never off, neither in airplane mode... what it often does is that it sits on a table or by the bed in sleep mode while i'm sleeping or fiddling with tablet...

but having 2.5 days in sleep mode is something that i haven't experienced since temasek/vadonka cm7...

bare in mind that the battery is 18 months old (+ the time the phone was in the shop before i bought it)

btw this goes for all screenshots i've posted here
[LG Optimus 2x] doctoralex:
The problem occurred in all modes.

I found the problem. If I enable the debugging mode I stuck to a device LG-P990. I need to closed it to work. Probably I don't have one working driver for "debugging mode"

Super Rom!

Hallo

My experiences have been very positive!

The Rom runs very smoothly and is very pleasant to work with it.

Two times it has happened that the mobile phone has become very hot, and thus the battery was exhausted quickly. After installing Greenify (Camera, Maps, etc) but it is not happened.

Ram I have little more than before (Build 17) Usually about 70-80 MB free. This was to build 17 that way. How is it after several days, I do not know yet.

I use the Build old BL Exp.

Thony Hi, thanks for the super Rome. She is just great!

Greetings

[LG Optimus 2x] DeeKay773:
Okay, i am desperate... Something under 2 hours of wifi on and switching between browser and skype(chatting) i have lost about 60% of battery. I was wondering if it isnt because of aging of the battery (1 year and 3 months) but when i kept the phone just with 2G (no data) it has drained 5% a day (screen time 5 min)... Im wondering why is it draining that much when chatting...

I have noticed that when i am typing and so on, cpu freq looks like going 1000mhz all the time... I have tried conservative governor, not really noticeable improvement... Could it be just because of skype app or moving to swap memory all the time?

Im a newbie in this stuff :/ but i checked cpu usage with watchdog and nothing suspicious... Screen is also dimmed on lowest level and this didnt happen before exp-opt.

Thanks for some of your notices and also the Dev(s) for this smooth phone :)
[LG Optimus 2x] svetj:
Very very good rom

Thanks to Tonyp for his great job:

this rim is giving new life to my phone.

It works fine in general: just some known issues with gps and camera.

But the very big and strange issue is that when I plug the charger,

i the screen is off, the phone hangs, and I have to unplug the charger and remove the battery.

This happened with all the builds, 20 included.

I tried to search for a solution, but no lucky.

Someone can help me?

Thank you
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
You must turn On 2nd core auto hotplug. it does your phone good anyway in terms of saving power, should also deal with the Black screen when charging.

Build 20 so far has been fine, background apps dropping alot with lack of memory gets to me every now and again. will look into that with Exp build to see if there is a difference.

But over all, i really like Build 20, its smooth, runs well. so far, i've had no issues with it. (except for the lack of memory =P )

I'll be jumping to the Exp build later tonight to give a good run over and compare later.

Update:

Alright, the Exp Rom is Totally SICK, what kind of multitasking magic is this! 0.0

Still testing, but i cannot believe how smooth it is in comparison to build 20.

Tony, my hat is tipped. well done.
[LG Optimus 2x] qnub:
For those, who's have bad battery. I have battery fast draining too. But i've check «KernelControl» util and return «CPU Governor» to «dyninteractive» (it's been to «interactive»). Now battery drain twice slower.
[LG Optimus 2x] calvxrr:
In my case build 20 is far more battery friendly than exp opt. What is strange it also has more free RAM. I didn't noticed any difference in smoothness.
[LG Optimus 2x] kekks:
I was using exp opt for three days, didnt notice free ram, later it turned to lag. Then tried the build20 and found it much better in multitasking using it for last five days.

[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
I'm not going to hold by breath, but I also have no reason to believe in this article, It only seems that they've mentioned the O2x because its an older device. i would guess its a terribly bad Troll by the author. LG pretty much grudgingly put ICS on their devices after the release of their other flagship phones. I seriously doubt they'd give a **** about this update.

And is there anything actually different? better? don't think any rom Google can come with could compare to Tony's, or have a Kernel as Awesome as Pengus'

Build "exp-opt": Day Three Experiences

UPDATE

Day 4. First crash. Happened while browsing widgets. Screen locked up, no response to touching the screen anywhere, no haptic feedback. Was out and about so I popped the battery, otherwise I would have tried to get a dump off the device.

ORIGINAL POST

I've been using the exp-opt build for three days. I've found that:

my battery life is significantly improved;

I haven't had a crash yet (usually get one every day or two); and

mysteriously, my GPS can now get a lock within 15 seconds in Google Maps, when it didn't work at all on any previous build.

Performance may be a touch slower, but the stability more than makes up for it. Absent proof to the contrary, I assume the GPS behaviour is a fluke.

I haven't tried build 20 yet, but honestly, I'm not sure I want to at this point. It's been nice to have a reprieve from removing the battery to restart my frozen phone.

Thanks, tonyp! :good: :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] Peppe91:
I tested twice stable and exp (with same settings 1300mhz,interactive, kowalski m1) and I have to say that In my opinion with my daily usage i didn't notice "this" improvement of ram, indeed I noticed a phone more laggy on long use.. Returned happily to stable 20 which for me is the best choice.. It's snappier and multitasking it's perfect.. By the way thanks very much for everything!

Inviato dal mio LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
A Slightly more detailed review.

I noticed over using the other builds 16 and over, right up to build 20, when i used many apps at one time, some would stop as memory was being refreshed. such as, when i travel, i would being using 3g for data access, browsing using boat browser, music playing in background, being enhanced by Viper4Android. So Alot of memory use.

Every now and again when i've loading a new page, or navigating having a few tabs open, my sound drops (Viper gets closed temporarily) and in some extreme cases, if i try to load a video from broswer and select youtube it can take my music player (Clean player) off too. this also happens when i'm reading from Kindle reader.

In the same situation, running the Exp build, all three apps continue to run. clearly from the extra memory that build has to use.

I've only been using the Exp build now for a few days, so i'll continue to wait for the reported lag wall some users have experienced, and see if there is any easy workarounds.

Over all, with the better memory management from the Exp build i find it can handle more than Build 20 when put under stress. and so far its as stable as build 20. running stability tests i've been able to get clear tests of the rom running smoothly.

My battery has not yet stabilized, but getting an average of 1.2% p/h in standby, with no sync options enabled. is more than good enough for me.

I'll do more reporting once i've hit the lagwall, and keep you guys updated with any other odd goings on.
[LG Optimus 2x] oneearleft:
I am currently using "Look Ma" and have successfully defeated the lag wall by clearing dalvik and re-flashing the kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
if it starts to lagg heavily, long press the clear button in recent apps (home-long press by default): that clears the caches and stops heavy laggs

i am on exp opt for some days now, and have even selected a theme and installed handcent again, and still no laggs, great performance
[LG Optimus 2x] flips13:
Sorry for offtop, but how i can disable history in cm file manager?

Thanks for response.
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
In all my tests on roms i setup everything the same.

Most things are default.

Performance menu. 18% Zram. and only memory optimizations. I/O Scheduler default set to ROW.

Kernel Control. CPU 1200 . GOV Dyninteractive. .. Low Memory killer 20mb

Kowalski Manager. Screen on Power management. TX power 9. LEDs 5. SD read ahead. 1024. 2nd core auto hotplug, DynaFsync on. Max Load Balance. ... Sound options default (i take care of my sound options through Viper.) and i use manual brightness, using the brightness option in the status bar.

In developer options, i turn off all animations, set the GPU to render the screen, and set the background apps to 4. and have advanced power options and that.

And for the first week or so, i manually change wifi, Data, and network, until i'm happy with it, before adding the rom options to do so automatically when i'm around Wifi.

After syncing everything i need, contacts, emails, etc. i turn off sync.

I have Viber persist all the time. and use greenify to turn off most other non essential apps, like maps, navigation, browser, and a few other things I hardly use.

I use benchmarking apps, and stability test to run different tests, as well as trying to push the phone with an over load of apps at the same time.

On Build 20 and a few below.

Jumping back from and to text messaging while reading on kindle reader, listening to music, traveling into town, i found Viper4 android would close sometimes when moving a page, or receiving a message in viber. causing my volume to drop and clarity to become worse.

if i leave the phone for a moment it comes back on. this was a issue i had with a few builds, but normally setting Viper up in Auto memory manager kept it running more often, but i still get other apps closing.

But with Exp.

So far, with those same settings (without having to edit the priorities using any apps), I don't have this issue. all the same apps, in very similar situations. it holds up to the apps i throw at it. for now anyways.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
I wonder which build tony is using :D

But also been on both 20 and exp for days, I still prefer exp like I explained earlier.

Btw, do you guys know how we can see if CM team has marked 10.2 as stable or if its still in "testing mode"? When tony returns and hopefully makes new build, merge upstream sources of 3+ weeks, will be huge update, just gotta wait :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Peppe91:
Interestingly, I'll try again (third time) in more detail and let you know.

I will pay more attention to involuntary closing of applications due to the ram management.

[MENTION=894978]necrowakker[/MENTION]

how about voltages? Can you lend me a reference?
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
I don't change any voltages. never needed a reason since I carry a external portable battery for when I'm not home or near a power source.

I looked into changing voltages to increase power saving over a year ago, and did a-lot of different tests trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the battery, ... but I found that after testing with high drain apps, and games, my power saving did not hold up, and stability became flawed.

I eventually decided to trust Pengus77 and his settings. he knows the inner workings of the phone better than me, and he's changed the voltages to supply a stable amount of power for the roms performance in any setting.

So, my answer to Voltage regulation. Is, leave it. if it not broken, don't fix it ^.^

[LG Optimus 2x] Mhden2x:
Guys, do you think this is normal? (it probably is, i just want to confirm)

it was about 3h 10min screen on time, 2g data sometimes, 11min phone call, a couple of SMS's - no games, just surfing

I'm on build 20 (which i think is better than exp build, as far as user experience in general is concerned - that includes lags/ multitasking)

did a full wipe before flashing, battery is calibrated

Big thanks to TonyP, as always, for his great ROMs :good:

===

by the way guys, OK it is amazing seeing that our humble O2x made it 2 whole days (or even 3) without charging, but what's the point if someone doesn't use it "as a smartphone" (i'm not talking about heavy use)... Apart from keeping a record, there's no point comparing situtations when a user used it slightly for 2 days (so no need to charge it) and a situtation like the one i'm posting... (i guess we all know that, just a reminder though! )
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
Old Battery, Bad Signal, Base band, Ril, Background apps, Account sync options, kowalski manager settings left at default. bad, or incompatible performance settings, (Governor, Scheduler, etc)

There are alot of reasons for poor battery life. even more than I've stated.

but I use my phone, quite often, for many different things, listen to music, text, calls, browsing the net, reading books, and sometimes taking a picture. I can still get about an average of 15 hours on normal use.

i get about 7 hours reading non stop. and if i do leave my phone sitting in standby, i normally average 28 - 40 hours depending on where I am, and what the network signal is like. (usually with wifi active at all times)

it does take time to whittle down the source of high battery drain. but once you do go through each step and test, you'll be one step closer to decent battery life.

But if you need to go further into the details, i remember a few threads in general and Q/A about battery life, and answers about drain reasons have been covered.
[LG Optimus 2x] proyatzu:
Guys talking about battery life.. Some weeks ago. I tried to flash v30a baseband, with smart flash tool, but I failed. Cause every time I start the procedure, after some seconds the screen goes off and the install procedure is aborted, leaving my device without a baseband, or at least with an uncompleted one. This means no signal. Seems I was able to flash just the basebands with 4 files. Like v20q in fact I currently got 20q.. Someone knows the solution for this? I wonder that changing baseband would resolve my personal problem of drastic battery drain wile on 2g / 3g data.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeszf:
It got to be something with the hardware version. My brother bought he´s phone a few months after me, in the same store and still I have to change he´s RIL each time I flash a rom in it.
