2.2 dark and sinister using gb stock baseband - T-Mobile LG G2x

Okay so thought I would give 2.2 dark and sinister another try since I miss a working lg camera. This thing runs great. Gps was an instant lock. Seems very stable. Wish we could get some weapon 2x features on this. Nice to have that lg camera working perfect again.

I'll have to give this one a try. I went back to Ultimate G2X (based on 2.2) for the same reason. Everything just works.

Gingerbread Issues & Thoughts.

I hope the leaked 2.3.3 isn't final at all. Here is the issues I am having.
-Vibration is way too strong. Froyo felt perfect.
-Keyboard lag in SMS is horrible.
-Statusbar icons need fixed(Turning green when connected to Google & Data icons are still Froyo as well as headset/phone icon when headset is plugged in)
-Same kernel from 2.2.2.
-Possibly more.
-It would be nice to have screen off animation(CM7 will get it eventually).
I just feel like it needs way more work & I hope LG doesn't give the update like that.
What do you think ? Any other problems ?

Those plus I started getting reboots so I went back to stock.
I forget that the LG Camera was SO much better as well.

True story. I hope they include it in the final release.
The official release should have a new kernel along with it. I liked the leaked version but the reboots or "SoD" isn't too good.
CM7 is the only functioning Gingerbread rom good for daily use IMO.
CM7 is still not stable enough for me. LG needs to clean things up espically lag & vibration before release.

In my opinion coming from a HTC HD2 with a bad kernal that I messed up by flashing a NAND Droid sense rom or something it would reset the phone every couple minutes to hours.
I can deal with the random resets at least 3 times a day when I start an app.
I love this phone!
The only issue I have with this phone would be the 4g speeds I get that are just HORRID! I get like 180 kb/s!
I've been running eaglesblood gingerbread edition and I have no significant issues at all. EB, in my opinion, is definitely a daily driver.

I didn't say they were a bug deal. I love the phone as well. I just think anyone can agree that it would be better if the things I listed were fixed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Agreed.
I'm back on stock Froyo until something better comes along.
CM7 has too many bugs still (no AD2P, voicemail dialpad doesn't work, HDMI is buggy, external SD card is invisible, etc).
Eagleblood is very fast, but just as with the GB leak, the vibrate is too strong, the keyboard right side sensitivity is off, my GPS navigation was wonky, etc.

[Q] better camera

i'm looking for a better camera app for this phone. one that is still and video.
the stock camera is too slow to take the picture.
any suggestions? or settings to make this one faster?
CM7 camera is super snappy

i'm hoping the LG update comes soon to see if it fixes some of the various issues before going into custom roms.
any other camera apps to recommend?

Does Faux123's ROM use the same CM7 camera?
Yeah it does, that camera has always been terrible for me, I couldn't even zoom in on screen without using volume buttons, everything is cramped, u press zoom u get the thing below it.

Miui or Ginger

I was wondering who was using gingebread or miui
And why
I was on Ginger but I switched to miui

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.
I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.
--> Miui and Cm7 are both very good roms.. you should try out both to see what's best for you.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!
love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

I agree but now they have a ics miui can wait to they get on the g2x or o2x ethier way we can get it
yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.
miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it
MIUI all the way. ICS will be on it today

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.
Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

I'd use MIUI if it was as stable as CM is on this phone. MIUI is a great ROM, but i always fall back to CM7 after sometime.
I've been using miui for a few days and I must say it's pretty stable.loving the camera as well.OVERALL switching from a mytouch4g I really miss Sense

The best ROM for my mom

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work

[Q] Video Recorder forceclose!!!

Using the most recent Hellfire Phoenix Rom I am getting camera force closes often and all the time when switched to video recording. What's up with this? I've tried the LG cam.zip also...same thing...
I've got the same setup on two G2x's and this is only the case with one. Would the best thing be to re-flash? I was hoping there might be another way because the one that needs the help is my work phone and I hate having to set it up completely each time I install a ROM or whatever.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...and I would have used the development thread for this but I have less than 10 posts currently. I normally don't have issues or anything that I can't figure out myself with search or my skills. LoL.
I told this to someone else earleir and this might also be the case. Every phone despite being developed the same may not work the same. For example, not everyone knows but there are 4 models of the g2x. Not all roms are compitable with every version. I would suggest looking up the version you have and bringing that to the attention of the developers. And yes, by the way, you can access the development thread and you can post on them. Most of the responses for bugs are people with less then 10 thanks. As far as a fix, I don't know. Look through the thread for your rom and see if anyone claims this issue. If so, there should also be a fix somewhere in there. If not, let the dev know so they look into it. Again, MAKE SURE YOU LET THEM WHAT MODEL P999 YOUR USING!! As for where to find that, I'm not sure. I know 2 of them are the lg p999DW and the lg p999DWP. Theres 3 others but I don't know how to tell which they are. If i figure it out I'll let you know.
Edit: under the battery cover. Not under the battery though. Right below the bottom of the battery next to the screw youll see it in white print.
Edit 2: Kinda curious, which rom version are you using?
LG-P999DW is what both phones read.
I'm using the Hellfire Phoenix ROM (excellent btw).

Video Recording should not be working on any LG G2X running ICS at the moment. Unless you use Videocam Illusion Recorder.
Sorry to say it, but without the proper drivers, this function is busted.

ya i must have read that too fast and just put it together as both phones aren't working... the only thing i would suggest is just a simple reflash of the rom, no wiping just reflash it. if not then proper wipe and flash, if not that then nandroid back to a rom you were positive the phone's videocam was working.
