[Q] Voodoo with US Cellular's Froyo update

I currently have a voodoo kernel on my Mesmerize with 2.1, and now that the update for Froyo is available as of today should I wait for a compatible/updated version of Voodoo to arrive before performing the update?

We've all been running 2.2 for months now with voodoo. It's not a full voodoo kernel, but that is coming soon. If you are completely happy where you are at, you could wait a couple of weeks and by then the new kernel should be out. If you want to update and use what we have now, it's all ready to go.

Yeah I've known about the leaked version for a while I just figured I'd wait. Good to know there will be an updated voodoo kernel in the near future

Ditto. I rely on my Mez for work in addition to play and even the occasional FC is unacceptable. It needs to be rock-solid stable. I had an issue with my first SD Card that came with mine that was triggering incessant scanning and lock ups... and at very inopportune times... and I nearly had a meltdown. I wish I could Beta test for you Devs that are doing such amazing things, but I just can't. (But keep up the good work!!!) I'm also running just Voodoo on a rooted 2.1 Mez and the performance is far from lacking, but like wcouri I just need a stable voodoo'd 2.2 where everything just works to make me happy.

Old thread is old, we have a new froyo build and a working full voodoo now.

[Q] How to update to GB

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!

Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

It will come with an official GB kernel and hopefully updated battery drivers and A2DP functionality...Amongst other LG fixes (again, hopefully).

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.

Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!

i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.

[Source] G2x \ LG P999 2.3.3 OTA Source Code [8.16.11]

We have all been waiting very patiently, but we finally have it, AHEAD of schedule. The source code for the LG 2.3.3 OTA update is now available. You can either download it straight from LG's open source site or via the mirror I created. Enjoy!
LG's Open Source Site: Link
Download Link
Let the custom kernels\builds begin........May the source be with you!

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does this source have any value to the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms? For the longest time I was using X boarders OTA Tweak, but recently switched to EB 1.08 (2.3.5) and love it .
Will this code bring the 2.3.3 roms to a whole new level where I might want to go back. Will this allow Whitehawkx and Doniqcc to fix a few of there issues in theit 2.3.3 roms?
Just wondering what this means? Maybe it just means an OC / UV Kernel which would be great too, especially if Faux can get voodoo working on 2.3.3.

That'd be nice, but most likely not. They aren't waiting for the kernel source for a2dp on .3.4 and .3.5, they're waiting on the source code from nvidia. As nice as it'd be, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Still, this is very good news either way.

I do agree that it is good news. I was really just curious.

EvilD sold his G2x and is no longer developing for this device. Sorry for the bad news. Luckily, WhiteHawkx and Roman from EDT are awesome devs are work on the G2x. You may juts need to remind Roman to give us G2x users some love, especially now that we have code to play with

Probably not, this will just hel for custom kernels for 2.3.3. Our issue with 2.3.4 adn 2.3.5 has to do with missing source\technical specs from Nvidia, which we may never get. Its not that AOSP (2.3.4, 2.3.5, Cm7) isnt compatible for the G2x, it just doesnt have the necessary drivers and such. The talented CM7 team (mainly CM-Arcee) has done a fantastic job of writing drivers for battery and other functions from scratch, because this source is made for the LG build which is NOT AOSP, despite looking like it. Hope that clears up the source issue and eliminates the "will this fix X,Y, or Z in 2.3.5, CM7, etc"....probably not.

As lge had released source code for 2.3.3 , will this help to solve rooting issue with 2.3.3 ota / lg update utility.??

Faux they should build a pyramid in your name to pay homage for all the work you do here.

Can't wait for some custom kernel love now I know Faux is going to hook it up big time!!!

Oh yea man, weapon, fauxs kernel, and voodoo, doesn't get any sweeter

GB source code released. Build EP4D.

OTA is coming by end of month according to tech support.

mmm ep4d wonder what is changed in that hopefully the modem issues.
a leak would be great

It appears to be an older build than what we have. It's apparently based on 2.3.5. not sure if this is the OTA and is more stable, or if this is just something that Samsung released on their own.

this means cm7...right?DDDD

It might help improve the kernel, but I doubt it will get them any closer to the RIL, which is the real holdup.

NO it means nothing except a possible tool to improve the GB release........If you want CM7 then build it yourself

On the cm7 problem. Is the RIL problem that they can't get lte working? Could it be fixed for just 3g maybe? I remember When it came out for the evo. It didn't have 4g or HDMI for a long time.

Its not really a leak now that the source code has been released to the public. This is a very strange situation, though, that it appears to be an earlier build than what was leaked weeks ago.

p3 tweeted me that their leak is newer - also, it is the ver. being pushed OTA by VZW today (i created a thread)
ED4 must be the kernel, EP4 must be refined in some other fashion.

The latest ep4p leak is 2.3.6 and the OTA ep4d is 2.3.5. It's not really that strange at all considering they build iterative builds with constant changes, bug fixes, etc. And a later build can easily have changes that introduced a new bug from a previous build. With iterative agile development this is not strange at all, in fact I fully expect it, as well as fully expect there are even later builds than ep4p.

That makes no sense. The ROM and kernel versions usually match. This is leaving me scratching my head.
My brother's phone is still running an old version of EP1W and I have to wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to EP4P or wait. I'm not sure what to do.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.

Loud choppy/helicopter sound in-call

So I had an issue with my g2x and was sent a new one that I got Friday. I backed up my G2X that is rooted and run eaglesblood 2.8 with rom manager and than rooted and booted it up on the new. But than when making calls both me and the person on the other end here this loud choppy noise like a helicopter and we can't hear each other at all. So I got tmobile to send me another one out. I did the same thing and thought everything was fine made test calls and everything. I got away from the house and got a call and the nosie was back. I had the wife on in the house and now I'm back home and the phone works fine when its on WiFi. just when I use it on the network... thoughts?

Upgrade your baseband to 21y, or use and old ROM that's compatible with your current baseband (which is probably 21e).

I am going to look this up a bit but I am not sure how to upgrade the baseband got any tips on where to start reading?

okay I download getril and the baseband was wrong or whatever but now it says fixed but still is doing it.

It's more likely you're on the latest bandbase which is March 2012. That would explain the issue and not as previously suggested.

Search 21e and read up on reverting backwatds... pretty much use 2.3.4 stock modded roms or use cm7 rc3 and up for the baseband you're on now.

That's the latest which isn't compatible with most ROM's. You need to run stock or EB AOSP which don't have the issue or downgrade your bandbase and run whatever you want.

Okay going to try the newest EB loading it up now. how much can I restore than with Titan backup pro?

Wow this new EB has a cool installer app thingy!
