Paul O'Brien fix, Where is it? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Ok, I've heard and read while about to fall asleep at night about a "Paul's patch" or a "Paul O'Brien fix" and several other references to it but I have no idea how to locate it. I've searched the G2X forums and searched the general android forums but not found a link to this "fix". I assure you I have used the search, I just suck at using the board's search features. (Call me a re-re, whatever.)
Can anyone tell me what it does, where to find it, and most importantly, is it even needed on the G2X pretty please?
I appreciate anyone posting here and trying to enlighten this caveman of Android users. Thank you!

The dev section has ONLY 3 pages...

Thank you for the fast response!
This being the first time I've flashed anything I'm assuming that I put this zip file in the clockwork mod folder on the internal SD and then boot to clockwork recovery and flash it from there?
FYI, Stock 2.2, rooted running clockwork mod that was flashed using NVFlash so it's not a fakeflash.

Meh, I figured it out. I really shouldn't try to do things at work while working a helpdesk, makes my brain not work quite right to have a user nagging me for a password reset because they forgot which of their 20 grandkids it was to begin with.
Thanks again for the fast response and patience!

I just got done reading this thread about not using Rom Manager EVER on the SGS4g, so I went ahead and used it and my phone boot loops now....what gives? I figured that it may work with a vibrant ROM as I heard it works on the regular galaxy s, so I Odin back to stock, reinstalled Rom manager and flashed cm7 for the vibrant...now my phone won't even boot...what gives? Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's almost like Rom manager doesn't work on this phone or something. Someone should make a step by step guide for flashing this phone...you know, like an SGS4G Bible.

What consequences will have installing Rom Manager?
What if I installed it but didn't use it?
I'm experiencing a lot of crashes and reboots and maybe I've finally found the reason.

If you installed it and didn't use it, no problem.
If you used it to 'install', then you earned a one way trip to using Odin to get everything back.
Raver, if you don't mind could you please make the title have capital letters and not lowercase like it does. There is no reason for it other than everytime I open the forum, it bugs me. Also, what is up with the "bold" html command ""?
I wonder what goes through other peoples heads when they decide hey I'm going to root my phone and install a custom Rom. I mean the first thing I did was a Google search on how to root SGS4G. That lead me to XDA. Then I found the actual SGS4G forum and began searching for guides. This was the same process for my MT3G and my G1. I don't understand why people would just grab Rom manager and assume it's a cure all. Boggles the mind.

that works out fine if the first thing you get led to is xda, but if you are unlucky like me then you end up at joe schmoe's tech blog or something similar and they tell you that any android phone can be "hacked" with superoneclick and rom manager. thats where the true issue lies, imo: that not the sites state the same info and most of that is wrong.
Thanks raver!

+1 Sure there were multiple sites related to the subject, which is why you take a little bit of time to examine more than one. I know I didn't just click the first option and run with it.
This post got me thinking. We have the SGS4G Bible but apparently it can be a little overwhelming and too much information for some people to digest before they start modding their phones.
Keeping the biblical theme maybe a simplified "SGS4G TEN COMMANDMENTS" that contain the ten most common questions and answers, noob mistakes, and does and don'ts in one place. Simple, easy to read, and easy to refer people to. For example...
Commandment 1: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER...EVER!
Commandment 2: DO NOT FLASH VIBRANT ROMS....EVER! - THE SGS4G IS NOT A VIBRANT!
etc, etc....you get the idea.
Any thoughts?

***DELETE***

*****NOT A CWM FLASHABLE ZIP*******
I tried to make a rom based off ACS-ICS v2, because my GPS was working.
However something in the rom still is off. I had no GPS. My Nandroid backup however restored my GPS.
So here is my first attempt at a Rom/Nandroid:
Based of of ACS-ICS - marcusant
-Official 2.3.5
-No CiQ (k0nane)
-Rooted
-EXT4
-IAP's EI22 Kernel* Basic OC/UV to 1200* (earthbound[iap] )
-DeOdexed (xBTx)
-Juwe RAM Tweak (Juwe11)
-3G TurboCharger (zeppelinrox)
I added:
•SGS4G Adrenaline Shot (Dsexton702)
•ASOP Sytle Lock Screen (ICS Themed to match ACS ICS Rom)
•ACS ICS Launcher 4.0
•LogProvider Fix
•AppWidget Picker
My appoligies to anyone I forgot.
If this works to get the GPS going for some,
Hopefully we can use it to figure out why ACS ICS kills the GPS.
Thanks bodi524

Correct me if i'm wrong but, I expect it's a Nandroid backup that may need to be extract into your CWM backup file and you just have to do a restore of it in CWM. I'd be sure to make a nandroid of your current rom before applying any other rom.
Working great for me no issues...thank you

Semantics. It's this attitude that sends new users, that could be of benefit in the future, running away from development.
In the time it took you to chastise this guy, you could have just as easily pointed him to the right place to do as you suggested.
Who are you to judge what skill is, who are you and what have you ever contributed?

Geez. You didn't have to change the title to delete. I kinda fell bad that everybody was bashing on you now. I am perfectly fine with you branching off and starting your own rom... I have nothing against it because you gave proper credit. I didn't mean to sound mean or anything like that... All work should be shared and different people like different things. Anyways, I also suggest that you learn how to extract a nandroid or create a rom without one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Making a cwm flashable is easy. There are many tutorials/how-tos out there. I could've made a number of "roms," but everytime I wanted to put something out I always realized that it wasn't development. I dont remember where I heard this but someone said that development isn't deleting apk's theming and calling it a rom.

The first rom I posted was an early branch off of another popular rom. Despite clarifying my intentions, stating my immaturity, and giving all due credit, a mod deleted my thread without warning. Rather annoying, since the toughest part of doing all this was assembling a clear and informative thread.
I have since moved the majority of my information and all my download links to a separate site, courtesy of another less whiny forum.
While I cannot condone if someone were to rip off an entire rom and claim the work to be all their own, I also cannot condemn an effort by someone attempting to learn and share.
Android is, after all, open source.
Unfortunately, XDA is a tough crowd. You'll want to be a little more prepared before you launch a Rom thread if you're not ready for the backlash.

installation issues

Does anyone know what programs I need to install roms. And kernels on this infuse by Samsung..also how do you do it? I really need someone to tell me how with full detail! Is it to much to ask without someone sending me a stupid link?
Don't complain about "stupid links." Surprisingly, people don't want to take the time to explain things that have already been explained. Look in the development section, look for infused 2.2.3. There is a detailed guide on how to initially flash a custom kernel then install roms.

I bought my infuse with zero android experience and was flashing custom roms with in 2 or 3 days. All I did was search, read and educate myself. The rescources are everywhere, you will save time and learn more and get a custom rom installed faster if you do like thousands upon thousands of us have done before you... Search.
I dont want to sound like an ass, i know where you are, cause i was there once to... But if you cant figure out how to flash a rom on your own, considering the countless threads, videos and rescources, then maybe you are safer sticking with stock. Cause when you do brick your phone, you will again have to figure out how to fix it.
In the time you posted and waited for a reply you could have figured it out on your own.

Yea, I haven't been around that long but stuff like this is crap. How do you install a custom ROM? I don't know, go READ how to, that's what the rest of us did. If someone needs to make a post asking how they shouldn't be doing it in the first place. It's one thing to be new and need to learn, it's yet another to have to make posts like this which clog up our forum and why we now have three ICS threads in the General section.
I'm sorry if its inconveniant for you to just answer a simple question. Yet people like you keep these types of threads going. I was simply asking which packages to install as there are many outthere. You dont need to be a complete d*ck. If you dont want to help like i said in my first post, im not forcing you. Dont bother writing if you are just writing to get a higher post count. I do not have a bunch of time on my hands to go through 50 pages of threads in order to understand which files to use exactly, hence why i asked. I did not ask HOW TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, if you read the question at the begging i meerly asked WHICH files, or atleast was trying to ask which files i should flash.
Feb 15
You can use the new version as well. I just updated mine to the new Feb 15 edition and the face unlock works fine
Make sure you got CWM via NVFlash.
Go to recovery and wipe data and format system.
Flash Initial ICS ROM.
Then flash ICS Google Apps.
- Hopefully that's all that you need to go ahead and flash it.
Here are the lates one google apps from the 15th. Also make sure u wipe dalvik and cache then data, and then flash rom and gapps. I always let me phone sit for about 10 to 15 mins after done flashing then i sign in and after i reboot again. Just to make sure everything works fine. I always do HArd reboots (Keep holding Vlme UP+Powerbutton) Always works for me. Then again everybody phone is diffrent so yeah. so Good luck,

Thanks guys! I installed it successfully with everything working
Camera works flawlessly at 5mp (did not bother trying 8 but even at 5 takes much better pictures than 2.3 GB imo) face unlock works too! I did have it overheating, then i installed Faux 0.49b3 oc/uv kernel this phone is a beast! holy. I was planning on selling and getting a sensation butnow imma hold on to it!! thanks everyone

Pay no attention to them. XDA is full of dicks. I've never frequented a forum that's more hostile to noobs, people who post in the wrong place, etc etc.
I'd rather have noobs asking questions that could be answered with a search than a bunch of dicks spending half the thread *****ing at the noob when they could have just answered the ****ing question. Or at least directed the noob to a post that answers their question.
I just tried to download it and put it in my SD card. I installed it in recovery mode, and now my phone is stuck on the LG screen, it won't even go to recovery mode when I switch it off.
u probably flashed with Clockworkmod. In this event, download the NVFlash one click. Flash your phone with a perma clcokworkmod (if you want to return it for warranty you can unflash it again with teh same tool) , then download and make sure the MD5 are the same as the ones posted online! you probably downloaded a bad file. Go to RootzWiki and download that
NVFlash will not work on my 64 bit OS. It keeps on opening windows command prompt and closing.
worked for me :/ 64 bit
Can you link me to the download and instructions on how to unbrick this piece of junk?

Rooting and dev stuff in layman's term

Disclaimer: I am far from being a dev of any sort, so take this post with a large serving of information reading elsewhere. I am not responsible for anything that happens to you or your phone, good or bad.
**If this thread helped you, simply click the "thank you" button and leave a reply if you wish.**
I had a really hard time entering the rooting and ROMming scene when I first got the phone, but I am now relatively confident in my rooting and ROMming. One of the reasons I had a hard time at first was simply not knowing what anything was or meant. Even after a lot of reading, I still didn't feel like I knew what I was doing (I simply followed instructions and did things to my phone aimlessly). Nonetheless, everything I post here can likely be found in a sticky or in another thread, but probably in more technical terms; I simply want this thread to be informative to a new user.
With that being said, here are a few things to help the truly new-to-the-scene guys (and gals) here:
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Definitions:
Root: essentially gives you the ability to access every nook and cranny of your phone and customize lots of stuff.
ROM: kind of the like the operating system on computers; there are many different ones, but find the one suitable for your needs.
imunts: some really cool dude who developed some really cool stuff for our really cool phone; he's done much for us, so he gets his own line here
kernel: the link between your phones software and hardware; comparable to the nervous system of animals by relaying info between the mind and body
flash: basically like installing something on your computer; everything installed or flashed onto electronics has its dangers and risks (and benefits).
recovery: kind of like the "safe mode" on your PC. Incase SHTF, recoveries can be used to save your phone in most cases.
dwitherell: another cool dev who made a really cool ROM by the name of Tweaked
OTA: Over The Air; typically refers to the updates being pushed upon our phones wirelessly from the heavens... or wherever data comes from
Odin: a program used to flash things onto your phone by using your computer; I personally see this as your computer being the brain and your phone being a temporary zombie that takes commands.
CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery): a custom recovery that must be flashed onto your phone to replace the stock recovery if you want to flash ROMs, backup or restore your phone.

I have not developed anything for the phones, nor am I taking any credit for making the tutorials or providing the files associated with the above material.
I will update this as I have more time.
Again, if this helped you, just click the "thank you" button or leave a reply. Also, go and let the devs know how much you appreciate their work and time by visiting their threads and thanking them with a reply or something also. Otherwise, we may never get any advances to our software (like I dunno... ICS or something)
Rice923, I'd post links for peeps to go and read. There's some threads already going on that explain to detail how to have the latest greatest phone avalaible ( Tweaked). Seems like there's a batch of people gone through this (modding) and a batch new to the game. Thank you.

Yeah go for it. If anything I'll add the links to the OP. I had a few links to YouTube vids on how to root and how to go back to stock unroot (both videos worked everytime I've used them without fail). I forgot who made he video but proper credit will be given to the Guy who made it.

On Topic: yup, linked to his video already. Loved his tutorials.
Off Topic: DW, go away and get back to work on Tweaked 2.3. I can't wait anymore!!!

There was some confusion as to whether or not it would be called 2.3 or 3.0. That post was probably before dwitherell cleared that up.

Just thought I'd give this a bump since there seems to have been a lot of development changes since I've last owned my Charge. Hope this will be of good use for new owners from the holidays. Cheers!
I have a video for rooting FP5, it's in my thread in the development section.
