Dude, I'm sorry, but it is a 3 year old thread, so I'm not sure why did you expect that the links are still up and working. Anyways, as far as I know the Optimus 2x got the ICS update, so there is no need to use this method as far as I know.

I'm sorry, I don't have an Optimus 2x anymore meaning I don't have any of the files.

And no, none of the links are actually pointing to any valid software anymore.
[LG Optimus 2x] gavraz:
Oh sorry I haven't noticed. I actually haven't even noticed it's a 2x thread, was actually looking fo a solution for LG Optimus One.

Thanks anyway, and sorry I was rushing to reply to such an old post.
[LG Optimus 2x] Korumera:
I've rooted my 2X with SuperOneClick root and it worked fine, but when using the app Bloatware freezer i got a msg saying that it's still NAND locked or something like that and I dont have a clue what that means. Is it something i need to unlock also?
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
Hmm.. Tried a bunch of different sh*t and eventually got it to work :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Arawac:

Thanks a million...

p.s. dont know why yet to be honest, but it sounds good :))
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
New issues :p

When I run the program it says it's a success - both with the rageagainstthecage and psneuter method..

But for some reason Superuser never pops up and gives access to my Root Explorer..

Any bright ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] Arawac:
hmmm seem to have something similar when trying to run titanium backup, says: could not acquire root privileges.

ah lol reboot seems to do it

Did u hit the help button on the bottom to install busybox?
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
Hadn't installed busybox.. Once I did that, everything worked :) Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] Korumera:
After you rooted your phone, reboot your phone and everything will be fine. It worked for me.

After the root i couldnt geet titanium backup to work but after a reboot it got root xs.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Use the psneuter option, I had the same problem with rage, psneuter worked instantly.

Optimus 2x, Unbranded, Android 2.2.2 (out of the box, no OTA)

All I did was:

Install LG driver (first post)

Open SuperOneClick 1.7

Select psneuter

Hit root

Check Superuser app

No reboots or shell root required.

Su is permanent, withstands a reboot.

Perhaps first post should be updated?
[LG Optimus 2x] Koyuki-kun:
Works like a charm, installed titanium backup and restored my apps from my HTC Desire.

Gotta love how fast this all goes. Thumbs up!
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
so easy... now i have root on 2.2.2

do somebody have a guide how to remove pre-installed programs that i dont want ??
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
Install Titanium Backup!! This app can delete system apps ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
okay without any change of damaging my phone hehe
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
okay im trying now in titanium backup to remove the IN CAR program, first i have done a backup of the program, after that i choose remove...

but when i choose remove it says i don't have a Backup of the program..

what am i doing wrong ??

i have the full paid version of titanium backup
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
You can try manually, I've just done it for like 15 apps:

Backup:

md system_apps
cd system_apps
adb pull /system/app/

Remove:

adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
rm /system/app/CarHome.apk
rm ...
reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
thanks...

Titanium does remove the apps i wanted to remove, no problems...

will you post which apps you have removed ??
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
AnalogueAlarmWidget.apk

AnalogueClockWidget.apk

AppAdvisor_v1.5.78_production_signed_aligned.apk

CarHome.apk

com_lge_christmassnowcity.apk

com_lge_lgfirework2.apk

cyon.apk

DigitalAlarmWidget.apk

DigitalClockWidget.apk

EmailWidget.apk

F-Secure_Mobile_Security_Android22.apk

LGEmail.apk

LGLauncher.apk

MessageWidget.apk

PreloadedApp.apk

SNS.apk

Stk.apk

WorldClockWidget.apk

More can come out... heaps more.

Some I reinstalled as normal apps to /data to play with and for easy future removal.

I also added back in my hacked ASOP Email.apk for exchange (no security) and AppWidgetPicker.

Getting there... but considering I had my own rom for my N1 there's a lot more to do... :)

Am finding some odd things here and there but nothing too mad... except it won't connect to my Wi-Fi home network with a complex password... make it simple and it's all good.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
thanks for all your help...

I do have one more question if you can help...

when you remove all those system apps, could that not be a problem if your 2X crashes and you need to hard reset it or something like that ??

is it safer to remove the apps your way or is it just as good useing Titanium backup ?

I tried making a backup of the system apps i removed before i removed them but titanium backup just backed up the DATA, how do I backup the whole APP ? with titanium backup
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
No problems.

I'm not familure with Ti (I'm sure Pro will allow you to grab system apks), I use MyBackup. Nevertheless, the terminal commands I provided above will back up all of your system apps. You can push them back at any time after mounting /system read/write.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
the Terminal Commands you are useing is that on the phone with terminal program or with adb from PC ??
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Computer, via adb.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
Just use root explorer and rename the apps you dont want from something.apk to something.bak
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
thats a possibility too...

I have one question though... If i remove/change name on the system apps, and then later have to reset the phone, will it be a problem that im missing som system apps, like CAR HOME app and F-Secure App ??
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
If you back them up to your computer it won't be an issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
okay but i don't have a backup of the two programs :(

is it possibly to get the two programs and put them in system/app folder again ?

And if i can't get them am I in trouble then ?:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] DenZj:
Is it possible to delete lgemail apk and use the standard email client from android. Will it be necessairy to install the original apk and can i extract this from my nexus one?
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
This worked like a charm! I am now the happy owner of a rooted LG Optimus 2X :D
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I'm sure it's okay to post here since you already "have them".
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I use this one, device admin disabled (just accept device admin permissions, none are granted). It's a recent ASOP build with Colours and GAL lookup.

Edit: Yes, it's safe to remove LGEmail.apk

adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/
reboot

All good... hit thanks... ;)

I saw that various debug apps like HiddenMenu and LGDebug is still present, think it's possible to activate them?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Probably, try creating shortcuts to their intents... using something like LPP, ADW EX or FolderOrganizer.

I'm going to take a proper look on the weekend given the time.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
On my test ROM (2.2.1) they are enabled if you can tell me how to extract shortcuts from Settings i woul do that for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:

[LG Optimus 2x] -Vimes-:
How much RAM did you free up by removing all these apps?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
RAM? As in volatile memory? Didn't measure it before and after. And I would have to use them all to get a reasonable baseline...

Since I was never going to use them I might have saved a few MB RAM from running (background) services only.
[LG Optimus 2x] -Vimes-:
Ah, i was under impression that these were autoloaded apps when the OS starts.

When i get my phone i want to uninstall all bloatware apps that autoload at start. Alltought i dont know what they are yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
A lot of the are autoloaded... like the antivirus one... and for some reason several of the LG widgets even when they are not in use :-/

[ROOT][2.2.2][tre.dk] Success

I have successfully applied SuperOneClick 1.7.2 to my LG-P990 from 3 Denmark (tre.dk). The rooting survives reboots.

It was shipped with Android 2.2.2, kernel 2.6.32.9 version FRG83G.

The only small hitch was, that the SuperUser app did not correctly pop-up it's window asking for permission untill i rebooted the phone. This effectively prevented root access, as SuperUser would time-out and deny sudo.

After reboot, everything works as expected.

Custom email.apk calendar issue

First, thanks for the patched ASOP email apk

Now I just have a question about the itegration between AsopEmail and the calendar app. Whever I get a calendar invite from my exchange I usually press “show in calendar“ to check day and date and possoble conflicts. This check does not show the day and date for my invite but instead gives me a view of current day and current time.

Question: Do I have to change something else or remove and push some other apk to get this working?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I'm not sure sorry, I've never used that functionality... (doesn't the invite tell you if it's a conflict?).

Next time I get an invite I'll check what happens but won't be able to change anything if it doesn't work.
[LG Optimus 2x] AndroHQUist:
Thanks for your quick response.

There is usually no other way to tell when the meeting is supposed to happen but by clicking that button and no option at all after changing to your AsopEmail that is not possible anymore.

Conflicts are not shown and I dont recall they uesd to.

I have not had any calendar issues running Asop style before but maybe the mix is causing trouble.

Maybe I should look for the AsopCalendar as well and change that too.

If that doesnt help, will have to go back to AdminSecurituAnnoyance

Thank again!
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I'm using my Nexus One at the moment because I bricked my O2x but I've just checked (I use the same email.apk on both phones) and on the Nexus when I click View In Calendar it does open the calendar and show the appointment.

So, it may be something to do with how LG has implemented calendar support and I can't check this until my Optimus is working again.

Also... perhaps this discussion should be moved to a new thread if it is to continue, it's a bit off topic.
[LG Optimus 2x] AndroHQUist:
Sorry for the off topic.

Your AsopEmail opens the calendar as supposed but does not show the proposed time an date but just the current date and time.

Ill look for an AsopCalendar and give that a try and if it works Ill start a new thread then.

Good luck with your bricked phone.

Uhm .. Thanks for the guiding, guys!!

But .. I just deleted my sms app, that in mind to get rid of the "8 new textmessages"-notification on the lockscreen. I've allready read them in ChompSMS.

tried to root my Optimus (FW 2.2.2) with SuperOneClick 1.7.. My OS ist Ubuntu 10.10.

Unfortunately SuperOneClick wants not to finish.

Starting the adb server is ok,

Waiting for device is ok,

Pushing psneuter is ok,

[LG Optimus 2x] nordsmark:
I seem to have some problems with this. I'm able to install the drivers for connecting the LG, that's no problem. I can also get SuperOneClick to root the device and install SuperUser, and the test from SuperOneClick also says that my device is rooted. Here is where I get problems; if I try to install any app that requires root or an app which checks for root, I always get told that I do not have root access. I tried both the "rage" and "psneuter" exploit.

Is there something I'm missing here? I'm quite new to this, but reading the guide I can't see what should have gone wrong. For now I've unrooted it again which removed SuperUser. If anyone could help me it'd be much appreciated.

My phone is running Android 2.2.2 out of the box, Danish version.

Once the SU app is installed and you've hit test okay, what then happens in the SU app on your phone when you launch a root app? Does it even register with the SU app on the phone?

No, there is no indication of any app registering SU. No apps asks for SU permissions. I find it really odd since SuperOneClick clearly stated that everything went smooth as butter.

GUIDE

Got it rooted. For all those who get stuck at "waiting for device" with the SuperOneClick follow these:

a) make sure your phone is "seen" from your pc under hardware (http://www.junefabrics.com/android/driver.php). Follow the instructions here. If needed install your drivers from the link on the bottom of the junefabrics page.

b) Download the PdaNet from here (http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php), when prompt to replace the drivers, press NO.

c) if at this point the PdaNet istallation tells you that it cannot detect any phone you need to go back to the drivers problem. No correct drivers (debugging), No root.

d) Run the SuperOneClick and it will surely do the job.

You can also get some more infos on here (http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/)

Took me 1 hour... SuperOneClick took 2 min. :)
