So I have owned the G2x since the first day it was out on tmobile stores.
But I never knew anything about rooting or anything.. I;m a noob.
I like the LG skinned android theme but I don't really like the stock android theme. Is there any way I can get the LG skinned android theme for my phone??? like the Optimus 2x?
What will rooting do to my device??
THank you in advance!
Rooting always me to remove the carrier bloatware and to install the lastest version of gingerbread 2.3.5 by using roms like CM7. Just gives you the ability to customize your phones settings.

My wife got stuck with the crappy motorola cliq. All it is is a problem. Does anyone know how to root it and fix all of it's problems? I assume it will be in the form of a rom.
Also I've heard something about a 2.1 official update, anyone know about that?

Your best bet is to check out the forum here
http://modmymobile.com/forums/399-motorola-cliq/
and
HandlerExploit's site here
that will get you started. Your best bet, if your wife likes the keyboard, but doesn't care for blur, find her a mytouch slide. The cliq was a phone that could have been so much more, but fell far short.
ive got a cliq and this is how i got 2.1 on my phone.
Follow the instructions in this video to get 2.1 on unrooted cliq: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAzbtlIh5iU&feature=related
and if you want to root it follow this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npkpx56SHdo&feature=related
Thanks alot I'll have to check out those videos, they don't wanna work on my phone.

Like the all others lg phones
Personally I think it just looks too much like the Galaxy S interface which we already have Whitehawk's Weapons G2X ROM. I wouldn't care too much for the LG UI.
Because the LG UI sucks big eggs. I have tried it on demo phones here in Thailand and it is a bad copy of the Samsung UI, which I also hate. You want to add the 100 or so craplications that are on the 2X stock ROM also?
No one is porting it because frankly no one is porting or doing much of anything for this phone (besides the few WONDERFUL dev's we actually do have).
just went to Metro Pcs and saw the new LG Esteem. that phone its amazing i love the LG overlay. and the phone uses a Sim Card like the Verizon version of the BlackBerry Storm.
come on devs start making the LG OVERLAY to our G2X.
it shouldn't be that hard as we have a LG PHONE.
If you want an LG UI buy a Samsung Galaxy series. LG basically cloned it from Samsung with a few minor differences. T-Mobile G series devices always have stock Android UI. That is one of their main selling points and benefits. The overlays suck. Have you ever used one or is it just an initial impression based on eye candy? After using one on a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate for several months I can honestly say I hate the OEM UIs whether they be Samsung, LG, HTC, IOS, or whatever! Just install a launcher and theme it to mimic whatever overlay you prefer.

It should be easy to change to its UI. Anyone can. Just get the PNG files from the framework, if that's what you mean.

i dont understand you. just the PNG files from the framework?
i guess your right about that. but you cant compare samsuck with LG. i had the vibrant then the galaxy s 4g. and both of them sucks

Its just like making a theme for it. Grab the PNG files from the framework/Res/hdpi folder and copy them to your current rom

ok i been wanted to get the 2x theme app for CM7 theme chooser to a weapong2x rom
so to do this i can just copy the PNG files from the app and paste them on the rom right?
I see that there is a new LG phone on tmobile, and it runs LG touchwiz. Ive always wanted to get the good old LG touchwiz running full speed on my G2x but never seen a rom. What do you guys think???
There are so many things wrong with this... besides the fact the development forum is not a request board...
First. The MyTouch Q is not even similar in the least to the G2X... different arhitecture. If we wanted something similar with LG Framework, that would be the Optimus 2x.
Second. It isn't LG Touchwiz. No such thing exists.

Touchwiz = Samsung not LG

they both use touchwiz
MTQ uses a Snapdragon while this is Tegra, so it's completely different and won't work. Plus, it's just an LG skinned ROM. Not TouchWiz at all. If you compare actual TouchWiz with LG's MTQ ROM you'll see they're completely different.
Samsung is the one to invent touchwiz on their galaxy series. LG UI is what you are refering too, and as someone said, the best chance we have at getting it is through Optimus 2x on AT&T/Rogers/Fido

JBOXER was trying to get the LG UI from the optimus 2x gb ota and everything worked fine other than we couldnt get any cellular signal even though we did have our original baseband. he and others had tried to get this pass but with no luck at all. it does looks beautiful on our g2x i really hope the devs can get pass this issue.

That's more progress than I was able to make porting a P999 gb rom.... I never got past bootloops. Maybe if I could get that far I would be able to get it working... Has to be possible.
I have an h950 that o upgraded to pr. Im running the all flash mods TMO. 4.7 and a hk cobalt orange. If can get a lg modded launcher or port ui that isnt to far off id like to see the imput or thoughts. Honestly the phones running great i just want to do it out of spite before i upgrade this month. I had moderate success with htc blinkfeed and fb home. So i think a ui based on ours. Should work. Im not a real tech savvy but i can read and troubleshoot. I have no idea what carrier i should use i had a harder time on att h950 now the carrier build seems like it has it all. Let me know your thoughts on flashing or compiling with hk and what is the best but not to far from reason.
