[LG Optimus 2x] rotorto:
For me (and for these guys) "unlocked bootloader" means "fastboot enabled bootloader" which in turn means "I can boot whatever OS I want (without having to modify the firmware)". The bootloader of the Optimus One is not fastboot enabled. But once you root the phone you are free to flash custom roms, if this is what you meant.
[LG Optimus 2x] Trel:
Hmm, let me clarify.

Droid 1 = Unlocked Bootloader

Droid 2 = Locked Bootloader

Which one does LG's phones resemble more?
[LG Optimus 2x] rotorto:
Of course I cannot guarantee anything about the Optimus 2x, but until now (Optimus GW620, Optimus GT540, Optimus One, Optimus Chic) LG's phones have been more like Droid 1. Custom roms boot just fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Trel:
So you didn't have to use the chainloader thing that you have to use to get custom roms on the Droid 2?

You can flash Clockwork or SPRecovery and go from there?
[LG Optimus 2x] rotorto:
I didn't have to use the chainloder thing.

Yes.
[LG Optimus 2x] uzirox:
I've asked via Facebook to LG Italy (it's where I live) and they said that the LG 2x will be probably bootlocked.

Now, I can't be sure that they've real information, but this is what they said.

Between :confused:, :mad: and :eek:

hahaha!
[LG Optimus 2x] yyhoney:
Let's see OptimusQ as example. (OptimusQ is enable to fastboot in some firmware)

Without fastboot, you can flash custom kernel.

Simply

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img

,and you can extract boot partition. This .img includes kernel and ramdisk.

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images this link will help you when unpack, edit, repack the boot.img

By using flash_image command, you can flash custom kernel without FB(FastBoot).

i have my own LG-SU660(Op2x),

but proc/mtd file has no information.....so i can't find boot, misc,...and so on partitions.

Anybody help?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mehrsau:
I think it's not a question of "Is the bootloader locked?" but "how easy is it to unlock it?"

cheers,

Mehrsau
[LG Optimus 2x] span_01:
Yeah, I think the most important question is if it will be possible to flash Custom ROM's. How it's done is not as important, at least not for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Arkasai:
It's my understanding that virtually every carrier demands that the phone's bootloader be locked if you're getting the phone subsidized. Just pray the bootloader isn't signed with an encryption key.
[LG Optimus 2x] GIR:
I think you're confusing a bootlock with a simlock.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
99.9% of all Android devices has a locked bootloader.

What you people need to differentiate about is whether the bootloader is locked, signed or encrypted.

The Motorola's has a signed/encrypted bootloader, which is ALSO locked. But so far only Motorola has been so damn stupid to actually sign/encrypt their bootloaders so that any deep tampering is impossible.
[LG Optimus 2x] yyhoney:
i can extract Stock FW.

U can see a 'android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg' file.

How can i use this??

.cfg???
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Sorry for sounding a bit noob, but can someone explain what a "locked bootloader" really means?!

If the bootloader is locked, does it mean that there will not be a root for the phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
The bootloader simply instrucs the kernel to load at start. When its locked, its not possible to modify it to your own needs (like flashing your own version of Android).

The root account has nothing to do with the bootloader. You can gain access to the root account in other ways.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Thanks! :)

If i rephrase my question then: If this phone has a locked bootloader, will it ever going to be able to run custom roms?!

The O2X is arriving to Norway in a couple of days. Im almost positive i'll buy it :) it will be a good choice, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Afaik, Sony Ericsson is the only one stupid enough to encrypt their bootloader.

I have already ordered the phone, so I cant say its bad choice. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
You mean Motorola right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Possible:
No. Sony erricsons bootloader is also encrypted.
[LG Optimus 2x] karayemis:
Signed or encrypted which one is worse. Do you think they can hack the sony erricsons or lg bootloaders so they can modify the kernel to own will?

I dont remember having any problems with bootloader with the samsung galaxy s.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
The bootloader is signed with an encryption key. :)

Cracking Sony Ericssons bootloader seemse to be hard. I dont know if the Optimus 2X bootloader will be encrypted, I hope not! But I dont think LG have encrypted their previous phones though.
[LG Optimus 2x] karayemis:
That a very good reason for me not to buy phone with locked bootloaders. I use to have a Galaxy s i9000 and the kernel modifications really made i huge differences. Thats why i dont want to buy a phone witch you cant modify the kernel. I will wait and see about the bootloaders problem of LG, motorola and sony erricson and then decide what to buy
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
thats a thing i'm also thinking about. it seems like this phone has a LOT of potential, and it would be bad if you couldnt take full advantage of it...

What do poeple think, is it a good idea to wait a little bit and see what can be done with the phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Depends on how bad you want a new phone. :) Im not waiting. It shouldnt be any problems to get rid of it later, if I do regret buying it.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Good point... :)

you see, i'm currently using an HTC Touch Pro flashed with windows mobile 6.5 (which SUCKS big time. the whole phone is really unstable). So i really want a new phone and O2X seems very interresting! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
Can someone estimate how long it will take before we will find out if the bootloader is locked, signed or encrypted?

At least in Norway the phone will be rolling out from the online stores on march 3.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Im stuck with my old HTC Hero, and thought that was bad. But being stuck with Windows Mobile.. That must be a real f**king pain the ass! :D

Im guessing a few days after its release on the market.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
I hardly doubt that release date is true.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
you do...?

http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=623255

take a look at the leading Norwegian online store
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Doesnt that mean they still dont know for sure, but think the might get the phones on 3.3? At least thats how google translated it. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
you're right about that, but when they estimate the arrival, they're allways not too far off :P
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Dont get me wrong i would really like it if it was released on 3.3. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Theres a lot of stores here in Sweden saying they will get the phone the 3/3. And the last date LG gave us was the end of february and the beginging of mars.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
One thing is for sure, O2X will come a lot sooner then Galaxy SII! and the SII will also be really overpriced compared to O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] uzirox:
Latest "rumors" from LG Italy, are that it'll be not that hard to bypass the protection of the bootloader... :D

(maybe the same level of protection of the Optimus One?)
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Good to know, I asked LG Germany for some info but they refused to answer :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
They probably just dont know.:D
[LG Optimus 2x] uzirox:
to be honest, I'm not that sure that LG Italy knows for sure :p
[LG Optimus 2x] gabr179:
hi guys,

I'm also very inteserested in Optimus 2X but I have a question:

Do you think 512 MB of RAM will be enough for apps from now to the end of next year? Where will be better a phone with 1 GB of RAM?
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
more apps running = more ram used = more batterie power used.

512Mo is just for use a phone like a daily phone, and usable.

Android manage application running, I think if an application use more than 50Mo of memory, is was a game or other like that, but not an application.
[LG Optimus 2x] player911:
I think 512mb is fine. I don't even think the iPad has that much (256?). Sure some phones are coming with 1gb but I think the norm is 256/512.
[LG Optimus 2x] epdm2be:
Wouldn't it be cool to have a sticky in XDA with FULL DETAILS about the state of the bootloaders for all or as many devices as possible?

Perhaps also with an explanation regarding locked, signed and encrypted states.

BTW. I've read that SE's phones also have locked bootloaders but unlike Motorola this hasn't been mentioned/criticized as much. Probably because of less sales and therefore less hardcore android users than Motorola's offerings.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
i totally agree with you.

its pretty confusing not to know what the different brands are going to do with their bootloaders...
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
According to our research with Sony_Ericsson_X10 showed that the P990's bootloader is not signed or locked in any way, so developers, it is up to you from now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] spacemutron:
uh? means??
[LG Optimus 2x] BlueScreenJunky:
It means he did some "research" with this xda member and found that the P990 (aka Optimus 2X or Optimus Speed) bootloader wasn't locked.

Sounds like good news to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
Any chance there is some solid verification on this? I can't seem to find anything about it.
[LG Optimus 2x] elacu:
The boot.img in the LG Optimus 2x does not have any signature like the Motorola Atrix.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aircoholic:
that's pretty damn good news!

thanks for your effort to find it out.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
found in init.rc:

#20100720, hyeseung.ryu@lge.com, Hidden Menu: Enable/Disable Root Permission [START]
mkdir /data/nv
chown system system /data/nv

#20100720, hyeseung.ryu@lge.com, Hidden Menu: Enable/Disable Root Permission [END]

Does anybody know what that does?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
And that boot.img comes from the final version that we will find in the stores very soon? And not from any "demo" version they handed out recently?
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
How can i access this menu?
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
I tried #cat /proc/mtd and i get nothing

dev: size erasesize name

Any idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Don't know. Got it from here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/...gra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/9
[LG Optimus 2x] elacu:
The Optimus 2x is not using mtd partitions you can use cat /proc/partitions and cat /proc/mounts to see where things is mounted.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
The boot image is from a pre-sale sample.

The Hidden menu can be accessed by going to Settings--About phone--Hidden menu

You have to scroll down all the way to find it. It is enabled in my 2.2.1 testing ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
How did you extract the boot image?
[LG Optimus 2x] elacu:
@nrkabul

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 > /mnt/sdcard/tmp_images/boot.img
[LG Optimus 2x] nrkabul:
Thanks! Mirsalimov, could you try that, and post the results? Then perhaps we can see if the production model has a signature.
[LG Optimus 2x] cvitur1:
Boot.img

Here is a link to a boot.img extracted using the instructions found in this thread for a Production Model Korean Optimus 2x (SU-660) (this is not a demo phone, but an actual store-bought phone). Version info:

Model Number: LG-SU660

Android version: 2.2.1 (didn't upgrade for fear of losing root)

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: FRG83.star.20110119

Software Version: LG-SU660-V10g Jan 19 2011

can anyone tell me if this boot.img is signed/encrypted/anything bad? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Can't we do the same ish like HTC to get perm root and security off.
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
Boot image from optimus 2x global version.

Model Number: LG-P990

Android: 2.2.2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build number: FRG83G

LGE Version: LGP990-V10a

If there is no encryption, can we add support for clockworkmod?

update:

I have requested source code from LG. Now waiting for answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
if this is true it would kickstart development for the 2x for sure, great news! Considering to get one if it will become well supported by dev/cm community for sure :)
[LG Optimus 2x] scsp:
So if i read this topic right, there is no encryption or signing of the LG optimus 2X bootloader (still i dont get the difference between locked and unlocked if in fact the signing or encryption prove to be the biggest deal).

Will it Therefore be only a matter of time (and hard work i guess) before the options arise to use custom roms on this device?
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
The difference between locked and unlocked is that unlocked you can write to system partitions (i.e. custom roms, recoveries, and so forth)

If you can't unlock the bootloader (i.e. fastboot oem unlock) then you're basically not able to make custom roms.

However, locked bootloaders have been easier to hack than signed or encrypted bootloaders.
[LG Optimus 2x] scsp:
thanks for the quick response, and for making things clear.

So this device's bootloader is only locked?
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
I can't say for certain, it apears that it is pretty certain it's not signed or encrypted, but it likely will be locked.
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
Thanks! but in 2.2.2 hidden menu is disabled :(
[LG Optimus 2x] elacu:
I can not see any sign of a signature or something similar in the boot.img from the global or korean version :)
[LG Optimus 2x] opusheks:
That sounds great!

In what fashion has LG locked their bootloaders on older phones? Has anyone of you that has the phone already tried to unlock it via the shell?
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
Can you check my post (global version) and tell us if there is encryption ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11929248&postcount=73
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
He did. He said Global and Korean version.
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
Oo sorry my mistake
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
So...

- What does it take to unlock the boot-image for adding more features such as clockworkmod?

- And do we need to full source code from LG to be able to do this?
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
I want to know this too.

Can one of dev check this? i will test it on my phone, i'm not afraid of bricking my device :)
[LG Optimus 2x] elacu:
@mirsalimov

You got PM.
[LG Optimus 2x] AndroHQUist:
I used to have a touch pro myself but gave up winmo a long time ago. I ran Android for maybe a year before that phone gave up.

I can recommend Android for your TP until you get a native Android phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
I have tried running android on it, but its like the battery gets drained in a minute! :/
[LG Optimus 2x] dazzle999:
Been a while for me aswell but i thought u could install it in 2 ways 1to the root partition overwriting winno and 2mount from sd, when i used the mount version i got heavy drain aswell. So maybe since ur thinking of switching anyways flash it the hard way if u brixk it np since u were trashing it anyways...
[LG Optimus 2x] AndroHQUist:
I had som battery issues myself but I bought a high capacity battery that helped the phone to survive a whole day at least but It also made all my colleagues laugh out loud.:)

Used to run from SD card.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acme64:
I want to make a weather widget display using the same font as the honeycomb clock. However I don't know of any weather widgets that let me edit the font, our use images as the font. Kind of like how one more clock uses skins. Anyone have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drmacinyasha:
Beautiful Widgets lets you make and share skins. They've even got a sort of SDK for them.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bizdady:
I used the honeycomb widget images and created a font so I could switch the Clockopia font in my lockscreen clock, if you need the font tff just let me know and I can send it your way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acme64:
apparently minimalistic text just added the feature to read ttf's. If you can send the one you've made i'd love to check it out, see how well it works. thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] datajosh:
And the dev made a Honeycomb skin earlier this week for it too.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acme64:
you gotta buy Beautiful widgets though, i was hoping for a cash free solution. The ttf support on Minimalistic text is for donators only :/ any other options?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I've searched the internet, and my own phone so I'm guessing the answer is no, but does anyone know if it's possible to get haptic feedback on the cap buttons?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i think that might be device specific. on my htc trophy, the capactive buttons (back, start, search) all provide haptic feedback. the soft keyboard itself doesn't, but those three capactive buttons do. so if you're saying that you're not getting them on your LG Quantum, i would say that LG themselves haven't put it in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zaslav:
I got a quantum from AT&T and I'm pretty sure it wasn't included by LG as I've looked into this myself.
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Has anyone noticed the time the file system provides differing from the time you see in the status bar (the real time)? My status bar and clock widget time are accurate, but if I view the details of a file I just created or modified in either ES File Explorer or Astro, the time reported is 5 hours ahead of what it really should be. It's not an app bug since both file explorers report it, but I know the system time is correct. It seems just the file system is different. This is on CM7 nightly #18 but I'm not sure if this bug is specific to the ROM.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
CONGRATULATIONS!

You have found out that most of the world, including the underlying parts of the Linux kernel use Universal Coordinated Time, also known at UTC, UCT, GMT, and Greenwich Mean Time.

Why is it five hours off? Because you live on the east coast, or in the Eastern time zone of the US, where the time is "GMT -5:00".
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Okay...so what? It's still wrong. If it said "17:30 GMT", that would make sense. I would read it and know it means 5:30 PM GMT, so 12:30 PM EST (my time). But instead both file explorers just report the time as simply 5:30 PM. Considering my time zone is EST, and the phone should know that, the time is incorrect. My Ubuntu box correctly shows file times according to my local time. No reason this shouldn't as well.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
I think it is for the simple fact that the file functions in android (java), which every program uses, is implicitly set using UTC. So in order for the file manager to represent time adjusted for your time zone, it would have to add a few more lines of code to adjust each files time to your time zone. This just causes unnecessary overhead.

In terms of big-o notation, if you are listing a folder containing thousands of files, it is going to have to perform thousands x n just to give you the file time adjusted to your time zone. They are simply balancing performance vs. something cosmetic

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some cool icons..currently I'm using Leedroid 2.3d with Launcher Pro and i have 5 Icons in my dockbar:

- Phone

- SMS/Handcent

- Gmail

- Browser

- Facebook

I'm using the MIUI icons right now but i'd like to change the look every once in a while.

I can find some icon packs around the net but most of them contain 38798 icons with everything you can imagine but very often stuff like a simple SMS or Gmail icon are missing. And i don't need a thousand different arrow and dog and cats icons....i guess u know what i mean :)

oh and: I got plenty text-style icons.

Anybody got some suggestions?

[Desire Themes and Apps] volapyk:
You can get icons that look similar to miui by using adw ex instead of lpp. I guess that's not the solution you want but it does give all icons that miui kinda look. Also in the app drawer etc.
