Just got my G2X - Should I update it to GB? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just received my second hand G2X in mint condition running 2.2. I immediately unlocked it for use in Thailand. So far I can see no screen bleed, no reboots (I've only had it for a few hours) and it seems to be working very well. Since Google updates all the Google apps to be the same ones as Gingerbread, is there any reason to update the phone to Gingerbread at this time? I would have to risk the updater or use the pre-rooted update.zip with the old baseband. I have a feeling this is a preliminary update and another one will be coming later. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I updated mine and If I had no reboots to begin with I probably would have waited until the official final update. You dont need the updated baseband for anything really, you can do just as much and still root froyo.

Thanks for the input. Already rooted and bloat frozen. The only app I have that won't work is "Boot Control." It has root permission but when I tell it to shutdown the phone it doesn't do anything. Does anyone know a shutdown, reboot app that works on the G2X with rooted Froyo. So far in the five hours I have been testing it out I am quite happy with the amazing speed and graphics. I am migrating from a Nexus One.

I have experienced a noticeable increase in battery life. My G2x was great with froyo, and now it is even better with the improved battery life using GB. i used the LG updater and had no issues. It was very easy. I have no idea if the new basebands will help you. Mileage will vary.

Update to newer TnT

I am running 2.2 at this time. I am wondering if updating to newer version would be wise move. Any advice would greatly appreciated.
I just ordered my g tablet an hour ago but have been investigating for the past day or two. Though I have never even held one of these, I'm pretty certain based on stuff in this forum and elsewhere that all tnt updates have significantly improved the device. Using a custom ROM could improve things further but at the very least, updates from viewsonic should be no-brainers.

If you are already running the TNT custom rom from robeet, then yes update to the latest one, it was the best to me.

An update from Viewsonic is way overdue. The last update, almost a month ago, introduced or accentuated a severe performance issue when the tablet comes out of sleep. According to their website the 12/23/2010 update (3389) was a huge success. True that it introduced some new stuff, but it also crippled the tablets.
3452 popped its head up about a week back, but it must have been UAT. I expect a fully supported and non-UAT update by the end of the month.
I am using TnT 4.1. Give it a shot, very smooth.
Do I need to go thru the all the steps posted by Reeboot for the 4.1 TnT Update? Or can I just down load the update.zip to my "sdcard" and use Clockwork to update? The reason I asked is because I tried and got a an update failure. Sorry that I am asking such NOVICE questions. Any help would be great.

Hi,
They (VS) just posted on another thread ("OTA") that they have a new OTA coming out on 1/20.
I've been using 3452 (downloaded from VS, then used standard recovery), almost since it came out, and I haven't noticed the lag or lag on wake problem. I'm not saying that 3452 doesn't have the lag problem, but no one as far as I know has been able to confirm for 100% sure whether or not 3452 incorporated the kernel fixes for that. I'm just saying that I haven't noticed the problem on my Gtab.
Jim
You need to follow Roebeets instructions and extract the zip file to the SD card. Don't put it in a folder. I left the 2.2 version in a subfolder. It should load right up then. You will need to do the Market fix on the new version to get full market.
Well it didn't go so good, like many others. I did a complete backe up with Clockwork and Titanium Pro. Then I repartitioned to 2048 and swap 0. Then tried to apply the update and it said could not find update, but when I tried to reboot it gets stuck after the "anima Boot" just a black screen. This can't be good. Just to clairify do I need newer verison of Tnt (i have 2.2) to make the update work or will it update from 2.2 to 4.1 with the update?
Edit: Thank you for all ur help. 4.1 is killer. Running, will update if bugs pop up.

Is it just me having all the buggy issues?

I don't know if it's my root, the leaked rom i'm running or because i titaniumed all my apps back on my phone.. but i'm getting random resets, slow performance (for a DUAL CORE phone?!?) and little quirks here and there... i'm selling my G2 tonight on clist and now i'm nervous about letting it go with these issues. Just little minor things here and there...
is it just me anyone else experiencing small nagging issues?

I am getting random reboots etc. Also my GPS is now almost useless. I am on the leaked GB rom but everything else is stock. I am trying to decide whether to get a refund or take a chance on getting one that is good. This is my third one and while it is much better than the first two it has too many little issues. I am very undecided and am thinking i will get a refund and wait for the SGSII
I wasnt getting lagg on the leaked GB but I was getting reboots. Went back to stock w/ Paul's tweak. It's stable and plenty fast until gingerbread gets official. Most of those issues are software related so rest assure they will be fixed at some point.

Thanks I may try going back to stock with Paul's tweak for a couple of days, I hope it is software related I would hate to keep it and find out different.
All phones are buggy when they first come out. When the gingerbread update goes out most if not all the reboot and freezing issues will most likely be fixed. The only problems with the phone that are confirmed hardware problems (to my knowledge) have to do with the LCD screen.

Hey guys...ive been reading all over the net that the first batch of G2x were really poor. What is the manufacturing date for your phones?(this date is found on the box on the back along with IMIE# and other bar codes)
I am currently on phone #3 and so far no issues. My manufacturing date is 4/25/2011. I think the second batch is manufactured sometime after 4/20/11.

Did you have buggy issues running stock??? If your answer is no then yes it is you and the rom you flashed.
Im running stock rooted, bloat ware gone, pauls fix, not a single reset, optimal performance, quadrant from 2700-2800. Love this phone.

I'm not getting any lagginess that I've noticed, but I get the issue with texts being delayed and the data connection dropping out a lot. I'm trying to decide if I should return it to T-Mobile or stick it out and hope that a fix comes soon.
Most of your complaints are software based problems

i agree with piztol, i am on my third phone with a manufacturing date of 4/25/11 and so far i have had no freezing,SoD(sleep of death), or restarts and a battery life of about 15 hours on pretty heavy usage. i firmly do not belive that our problems are software based. I believe its hardware.

[Q] Noob ?s: New to Rooting, Not new to IT

Hi guys - Great website. I love the amount of information being exchanged here. I am new to the rooting environment, but I am not new to IT. I have an IT career, some entry level programming, SQL scripting, and have modded playstations and xboxes previously so I should be able to follow much of the technical talk.
I just purchased a Samsung Charge and have completed the one click root and have confirmed that I have root on ED1. So my questions are (please link to thread if answered elsewhere):
How do I determine which mod/rom is the best and safest to use? Gummy, Altered beast, etc?
Are any gingerbread based mods out or are they all froyo based for the Charge? What is the newest out and is there a projected release schedule?
How do I get the wireless hot stop working for free once I am rooted? Do I have to install a ROM?
Is the Odin application the best way to update the ROMs?
Is the ROM the OS update and the kernel the BIOS update?
It looks like there is an issue doing backups with Charge Mods, so how do I backup my phone? (it looks like the ability to backup has been removed from some mods)
So I am rooted. What are the next steps I need to follow: 1) Backup (how) 2) install new OS ROM????
Thanks for your time.

Pretty much just by reading their threads and seeing what issues people are having. That being said, the Charge ROMs are all pretty new, so safest is to just find a rooted version of stock, which you seem to have accomplished. The other ROMs are trying to improve on things by doing things such as "debloating" (removing useless stuff added by Verizon), etc., but this can have unintended consequences. For instance, with Altered Beast, you'll see he released fixed versions of stock apps which broke.
Are any gingerbread based mods out or are they all froyo based for the Charge? What is the newest out and is there a projected release schedule?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They're all Froyo for now. I'd guess a Gingerbread version will be out within the next month or so, depending on how many devs are working on it. I think Gummy is slightly newer than Altered Beast, but that could change any second. Actually, the newest at this moment is the OTA (Over The Air) release from Verizon last night, EE4.

You just need to install an app. Search the market, or search the forums for what others are using. They're getting a little more difficult to find as Verizon has started blocking some of them from their version of the market.
Is the Odin application the best way to update the ROMs?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Right now it seems to be. Though once you use that and have CWM (ClockWork Mod) installed, you might be able to update using CWM. Still a little early to tell.
Is the ROM the OS update and the kernel the BIOS update?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pretty close. ROM, as we usually use the term, refers to the Boot ROM, which is the first code run, and essentially the O/S, though some ROMs aren't a complete replacement for all of it. The kernel isn't quite as equivalent, but that's true to the extent that it handles communication between the software and the hardware.
It looks like there is an issue doing backups with Charge Mods, so how do I backup my phone? (it looks like the ability to backup has been removed from some mods)

There's an issue with doing backups through CWM, but you can still use something like Titanium Backup. What do you want to backup? If it's just your software, settings, etc., that should be fine.
So I am rooted. What are the next steps I need to follow: 1) Backup (how) 2) install new OS ROM????

1) Use alternate software, such as Titanium Backup. 2) Use ODIN for now.

I have the ED1 versions rooted with gingerbreak and used root explorer to change the script from ED1 to ED2. Everything is working good and launcher pro is making it look better, but is it safe to load altered beast or other roms using Odin or will it mess it up? I would like to get CWM on it to go straight into bootloader like I did with the Incredible.
The kernel shouldn't be related to a BIOS in a PC, that would be your bootloader. A kernel is part of an Operating system. Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X all have kernels. The kernel, as I understand it, is sort of like the middle man between the software you "see" and the hardware. Drivers are a core part of a kernel, but aren't the only thing in the kernel. A ROM, is the OS, as a kernel is included in any ROM. The ROM will consist of the applications included, be it themed applications or custom built ones, and a kernel.
Keep in mind this is a large generalization of the whole subject, but I think its a good overview.

You can use Odin to install Altered Beast and you'll be fine. you might want to wait a couple of days to see what happens with this EE4 release, though.

not to be a downer, but i wouldnt put any eta's on anything gingerbread related...my overly optimistic guess (based on no inside knowledge) for anything official would be late august...but knowing the vzw/samsung combo (regardless of the droid branding) #gingergate could be on until late Fall/Christmas

I wouldn't really expect an official Samsung Gingerbread ROM until next year. They are incredibly slow. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see an unofficial version well before then.

Incredibly slow, yet the DROID Charge just received it's 2nd OTA update in 1 month from release, and the Fascinate just got it's 6th/7th OTA update in the past 8 months as well, and as far as I know, the international SGS has had a similar number of updates come out for it as well. The problem isn't Samsung producing the updates (anymore), it's getting the carriers test them and submit feedback in a timely manner.
Given that the SGS line is getting Gingerbread over the summer from most reports I've read, I'd expect the Charge to get Gingerbread sometime late summer/fall, as well as the rest of the US lineup of SGS phones.

I am not sure why the below happened, but I did soft brick. I restarted the whole process and it is moving along now so please disregard.
Question. I am using Odin to install alteredbeast. I held down the volume key until after i clicked start on the ROM. It has been working for about 5 minutes and on my phone i can see a downloading icon with a "AX_TIMEOUT" in red in the top left. Did I screw up?

You only have to hold the down volume button for a few seconds, until you get to the yellow downloading screen. Im not sure if that has an effect, but I'd start over. Turn off any antivirus, plug in to your rear USB ports, and try again.

They're doing well on the bugfixes, I'll give them that. But with how long we waited for updates for my wife's Epic, I'm not super keen on Samsung's update schedule. They ranked last on the list of manufacturers updating to newer versions of software. That being said, I'm hoping with this as their Verizon flagship they'll stay on top of it.

G2x GB update...

that it's 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.4?
and, that the info is coming from an lg source directly?

which thread on xda were you referring to?
I honestly don't care if it's 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, I just want them to release something with fixed drivers already so we can use them.
All the great developers here will upgrade their roms to 2.3.4 anyway, all we need are the bug fixes
useless rumors. back in april they said "coming soon", it's almost july
fyi
first it doesnt surprise me that they are releasing an outdated os again i mean they are only a million dollar company not big like cyanogen .
2nd is smartphonegeek although maybe hes trying to be helpful hasnt given us 1 bit of correct info yet. so although this is probably true im putting no faith in anything he says anymore unfortunately.
We all knew it was 2.3.3 to begin with. No surprises there.
Plus 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 aren't that different. I run CM7 which has 2.3.4 and honestly it is just a number.
I think the only phones running 2.3.4 are the Nexus Phones. The Sensation, Galaxy S2, and G2x will all be at 2.3.3
Although I did see an unofficial 2.3.4 update for the Samsung Galaxy S, it is nothing official.
Lets just hope that this LG update doesn't count GB for future upgrades, as most manufactures will provide at least a few upgrades to the OS. I'd be happy with an official 2.4 Ice Cream update though.
The sensation runs 2.3.3

A question
If I have already installed the leaked 2.3.3 when the ota rolls out will it download that for me since I"m already showing 2.3.3 on my settings or will I have to use Nandroid , reset to original and then get the update?
2.3.4 have two major changes:
1. video support on Gtalk
2. IPv6 support
As long as the changes would take care of the rebooting and battery issues. Last night I unplugged at 100%, went to sleep and this morning battery was dead
I"m just ready for the darn update to get this thing running as it should. and since I"m not a T-Mo customer I cant return it to T-Mo.

either that or keep your phone rooted and wait for someone to compile a stock/rooted version that you can install. it usually only takes one of those guys a few hours after they get the release... thats the way I did it with my N1 after I rooted it.

Because the leaked GB update is horrible. Of all the roms in this forum, THAT unofficial GB leak was the worst. Ever 4 hours the phone would be found turned off in my pocket. It would die on a charger.
If you want a working phone, get that crap off of there. Even EaglesBlood version based on the leak caused me the same issues.
Flash Eaglesblood Froyo edition or CM7.1 RC1. I'd say those are your two best options right now.

Who went back to GB?

I'm on AOKP ICS but I'm considering going back to a GB ROM because of the better battery, a reliable HD camera, no sleep of death, etc. Anyone else on the same boat? I can't make a decision! :\

If you do decide to upgrade as of now (from reading the dev thread about this new update) it looks like if you flash a custom rom after installing the new march baseband you won't be able to make phone calls. Only works with the stock LG 2.3.4. Just a warning if you were thinking of flashing a rom with the new baseband. I'm sure they will come up with a solution soon though, they always do!
I've upgraded once to ICS, and I went back immediately. Although there were times when I flashed different ICS roms from different devs, but they all seem to have the same issues, so I just stayed on GB, I'm happy with Hellfire Phoenix, really stable with Faux CM kernel at stock voltage.
I did as well, the UI wasn't worth all the technical difficulties. Went from HFS to HFP.

Can't the baseband be restored to an older one withe the GetRIL app on the Play Store?
Btw, does the release of 2.3.4 signify that we won't be getting ICS officially? I might as well abandon ICS now if we're never going to get updated drivers from Nvidia...
Sent from my AOKP G2x
no and no to put it simple.
The GetRIL app does just that get's RIL's no a baseband.
We never knew or will we know cause LG can't make up their mind it seems. Some forums have public LG moderators/employees that state that they haven't heard a thing about LG giving the G2X ICS love. On the other hand I have read places and posted here that LG's Facebook stated that they will update our phone and the European version to ICS sometime in the 2nd quarter. So it's pretty much don't hold your breath and be patient.
The fact that LG hasn't given up on updating the G2x means a lot...even though it's been EOLed, though. But, speculation is speculation.
i went back to GB, due to the camera issue. the ISC roms are great but unless LG\Nvidia releases their drivers these roms will never be perfect. another reason i went back to GB is because i like MIUI (the whole interface and the ability to record calls). cant wait for MIUI v4.

The GetRIL app does just that get's RIL's no a baseband.
We never knew or will we know cause LG can't make up their mind it seems. Some forums have public LG moderators/employees that state that they haven't heard a thing about LG giving the G2X ICS love. On the other hand I have read places and posted here that LG's Facebook stated that they will update our phone and the European version to ICS sometime in the 2nd quarter. So it's pretty much don't hold your breath and be patient.

I suspect they won't give us ICS and have given up hope, so I don't have to worry about being patient. ;P
GB till we get drivers. I'm satisfied with it for now.

Coming off of about a month using ics roms, its nice to get back to gb because EVERYTHING WORKS! Also, pretty sure the o2x will get ics towards the middle of this year. We just have to wait for the drivers to be ported. Until then, some of us can make due without hwa, but its hard to stay away from gb for too long.
Back on MIUI for now. I themed it to look like ICS so I'm satisfied for now. Much better battery life too! But I miss the ICS multitasking still.
I really like the UI on ICS and it works well enough for me that I've just stayed on it. Went to GB for a day and decided against it. The known issues with ICS have not really been an issue for me at all.
I used and was very happy running CM7, even installed it on my girl's phone which will likely stay that way.
A few weeks ago I went to Eagleblood's most recent AOSP build and don't see myself going back to any form of GB. Yes the ICS ROMs do have their issues but so far nothing game breaking for me.
pretty new here and I never even tried an ICS ROM yet. But even as an Android semi-noob it makes sense that an ICS ROM will not be as polished as a well done GB ROM. Hoping to try one soon but the general sentiment of this thread makes me think it will be a while before I do.

They're very usable and stable enough for daily use. If the known issues don't bother you, then you'll enjoy ICS. The first ROM I flashed to my phone was an ICS ROM and I've remained on ICS since. I tried going back to GB, but ended up flashing ICS again the next day. Give it a try. If you don't like it, you can always re flash a GB ROM.
