Anyway to get the notification leds/button lights to flash when a text received on 2.3.3 like it does on cm7?
EDIT: found this, works perfectly.

There is an app in the Market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications that works with the G2X. It worked without root with 2.2 but apparently it requires root with 2.3.3 due to some changes LG made to the phone.

Yessss
Thanks. i thought it just my phone.
Hi, I'm new here and I this is my first droid, so i need some help. I have done an extensive search and looks like I'm the only one with this problem.
I've rooted my g2x (2.3.3), etc, installed the notification led, change permissions to rw-rw-rw (sys/devices/plataform/star_touch_led/wled), so far so good. But when I reboot (turn off/turn on) the phone my permissions get back to rw-rw-r. So every time I turn on the phone I have to change it manually.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Phone problem?

Well for one, when you install the app there's no need to change its permission like that. Maybe that's why it switches back after a reboot..

That's on Froyo.
On gingerbread, this app doesn't work that way. If I dont change the permissions it will never work. It's like when I turnoff/turn on the phone the permissions get back to "factory data reset".
Anyone with the same problem?

Well, finally it's solved. Dunno how, but the permissions doesn't' change anymore. Thank anyway.

Do you have the latest version from the Market. It detects whether or not the file is readable and asks you if it can make changes, and then gets superuser permissions. It must set the file settings every time the phone boots. If you do have the latest version try going into the program interface itself and see if there are options for this. If you cannot find them, simply uninstall the program (delete its data first) and then reinstall it. The first time you run it the program should go through whatever it needs to do to get su permissions, etc. You must be rooted on GB for this app to work.
I am rooted, I know how to use that apparently but fir some reason it doesn't detect anymore. But I got a modified version from the Dev and it skips the detection part. The dev said he figured out why it was doing it. Might be an update or something ..

rooted my phone last week. tried installing a screenshot app that requires root. told me my phone wasn't rooted. so i rebooted it and tried loading up titanium backup because i know that works as i uninstalled a the stock att apps. it's FC on me when it 'asks for rights' or whatever.
any idea?
stock rom, unleashthebeast installed, lag fix ext 2 installed as well.
Maybe you have to open the super user application first. You should get a pop up from the super user application when an app is requesting root access.

Anyone using Visidon Applock- face recongnition locking app on their charge. I had a Nexus S 4g and it worked great, but because of signal issues, I went back to Verizon. Went with the Charge. I have rooted the charge and am running gingerbread, but the apps market will not let me download this program. I think current version is 1.5 and should work just fine on my Charge...if I can get the download. What you do is take a picture of your face. Then you can use it to unlock either the phone, or apps on the phone by showing the phone your face. Works great.
Anyone able to provide me with the apk ver 1.5? I found and downloaded ver 1.1 but it is missing a signature file.
Thanks
There is a market fix in one of the sections here, after you install and run it, it will show up in the market. I have the file but am at work right now and can't seem to find the thread for it. When I get home I will upload the file for you if you havn't found the market fix. I have already installed fix on my phone and looked in the market for this file and it is there and works with this phone.

I think I found it. Is it called build.prop.
You have to edit the file to make it look like a Nexus S....which makes sense to me...because that is what I had before and it worked.

no, the file I am talking about does it all automatically, you have to install this app, run the fix from in the app, restart from w/in the app, then when it powers on you can erase the app if you want to. This will enable all apps in the marketplace.

I found the file build.prop which I would guess is the manual way to adjust what your fix does. I went into root explorer and renamed the original file to old...then like a dumb ass...turned off the phone before I had pushed the new file to the system folder. Anyway...I just re-flashed GBE....no big deal. and will take a look at your "fix" now.
Thanks Again.

This is what I found and what I ended up doing. Download the file and then replace build.prop in /system folder.
I did install your fix.apk...got an error on download via qr....but got the file and used adb to install. Not sure which one worked....
...edit....
just un- installed your fix.apk. then tried to install visidon again....all worked well. So I am pretty sure this manual mod is the same. Yours is much easier.

This app is awesome, best thing to keep my roommates off my facebook status, can wait till google+ takes off
Yep, I I accidentally the whole thing. I clicked the wrong button in TIBU.
Anyways, I got the phone yesterday, updated it to 2.3.6, and rooted it, but otherwise left it alone. I just rooted so I could restore my apps from my previous phone with TIBU. I did not restore data. Today, I was trying to fix an issue I was having with accounts and sync, and I meant to freeze it, but I hit uninstall and wasn't paying attention to the prompts, so it uninstalled it. It was backed up, but I can't re-install it. I even found the app's .apk in system/app folder, and tried to re-install it but it will not, it just tries for like a second and then says "Not installed". The option is now missing from my settings menu.
I would really like a way to fix it without having to wipe and re-install the OS, but if I have to I can.
nb4 "did you search?" yes, I did. I couldn't find anything that helped.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
Download a rom for your phone thats2.3.6 and unzip it. Go into system/app and take the apk that u need. Push it to your system/app folder with root explore. Change permissions to the ones on the pic and reboot and u should be good.

I did that, but the Applications and Sync option is not there.
If I did a recovery update to 2.3.6 again, would that fix it perhaps? or will it not let me update it that way since it's already on 2.3.6?

Actually, I did just that, and it fixed it! sigh. I wish I had thought of that right away. Now I'm back to my original problem that I was trying to fix, though. When i try to add my facebook account in accounts and sync, I click on add account, select the facebook icon, and it just goes back to the previous page without doing anything.
Oh well. At least I got the big problem fixed, thank you for helping.

reflash whatever rom you currently have, but don't wipe the data/factory reset. Since the file you need is in the system folder it'll rewrite.

I just ran the 2.3.6 update again. It fixed it, but it turns out that the problem I was trying to fix in the first place which led me to uninstall the app was not a problem at all, it was google locking out facebook sync on nexus S meh, whatever. I only did it for the pictures anyways. Thanks though!
Hi guys!
Is there a way to remove the annoying notification of the 4.4.3 update?
I have no problems with the update itself, but I'm using a Custom ROM (CM11).
I've tried disabling notifications for Google Services Framework and com.lge.update and freezing com.lge.update with Titanium.
None of these worked...
Do you guys now a way to disable it?

I'm in the same boat... running CM11 M6. I got an error notification for the 4.4.3 update last night stating that it couldn't download (I'm assuming because of running CM). Today at lunch I was having problems with LTE connectivity so I rebooted and it worked then. Found out a few hours later that after I rebooted my phone used over 500MB of data even though I wasn't using it and my battery drained down quite a bit as well.
My cell provider shows I've used that much data but my phone doesn't. My guess is that it's trying to constantly download the update? Yet I can't find any way to turn this off.
Thanks for any help you guys can give!

Check /data/fota or /cache/fota for the downloaded update, rename folder (+otacerts.zip), reboot again. Fixed now? This method used to work. Maybe it no longer does.

Whatever file explorer you are using you may have to allow it to see "hidden files" or grant root access or possibly both.
I'm having the same issue as well, except I didn't download the update. I've tried renaming the cert to .bak, rebooted, and no go. Then I took the whole damn cert file and moved it to my downloads folder, cleared Google system framework data, and rebooted. It's been about 5 minutes with no pop up, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've also heard that changing a line in your build.prop tricks the updater into thinking you already have 4.4.3, but I don't what what it is that needs to be changed...

I don't even see these folders.
I have hidden files enabled in Solid Explorer :/
I've tried everything posted here, rebooted around 5 times, but it's still showing up.
Are you guys sure that otacerts.zip is responsible for the upfate message?
I even tried moving it into my download folder (after the .bak method doesn't worked), but I still have the notification...
Which is the system app, that searches for updates? I thought it's com.lge.update, but it seems that it's not.
We should try to freeze / uninstall that with Titanium. :/
You can also use ongoing system notification blocker to get rid of the update constantly being shown.
Thanks guys I got it. After renaming the above mentioned folder I cleared Google framework and the notification is gone.

I'm not sure why anyone has stated this and I realize that the problem has already been solved, but this can easily be fixed using Developer Options in CM11
1) Go to settings> about phone
2) Scroll all the way down to build number and repeatedly tap it until it says something along the lines of "You are now a developer"
3) Go back to settings then go to developer options
4) A little less than halfway down is an option called 'Development shortcut'. Tick that box
Now, you can get rid of any pesky notification that can't be swiped away. Simply tap and hold it, then select 'Force close'. This works with any apps running in the background by doing the same thing from the app switcher. Hope this helps!
I just cleared data on Google services framework and haven't had the notification popup yet. Have rebooted a couple times, so far so good. Been about 6hours.

I have edited the /system/customize/ACC/default.xml file before to disable the 5 minute timeout. I believe you change the value of NMS_feature_led_flash_timeout from 5 to 0. Try it and let us know how it works.

Root Explorer. Have to set it to R/W before doing the edit. It may be that the system is mounted as read only in the app you're using. You may have to change it in the settings of the app you're using. In Root Explorer, there's a small button. Upper right side of the screen while viewing the folders. If the system is mounted R/O, it'll say "mount R/W". Press on it and then do the edit.
You do have to be rooted for it to work though.

Are you rooted? If so, check your superuser app to see if Root Explorer has root permissions. Also, if it's still set to 5 when you reboot, is the backup file there or not? If not, it sounds like a root problem of some sort to me.

Yes
I can't get it to work either. Change stuck even after reboot ?
Yes. But, you need to click on that button that says mount r/w before you do the edit. If you do that and it still doesn't work, something isn't right with your root.
Are you permanently rooted or are you using weak sauce for root? If the latter, the changes won't stick if you do a normal reboot. Rebooting is necessary for the setting to take effect. With weak sauce, you have to do a hot reboot for things to stick. Things will only stick if you do a hot reboot. A normal reboot will result in your change or changes reverting back to the original meaning you'll have to do it over again. It'll work as long as you only hot reboot. If you're using weak sauce for root, you really should consider getting permanently rooted.
This worked, thanks!
Ahhhh ok makes sense. Yea I'm only weak sauce rooted so I'll get it permanently rooted then
