What are the best apps to have on a rooted (no roms yet) g2x?

I rooted my g2x earlier
And I have no roms because I don't know how to install them yet
But I want yup know what are the best apps for the g2x
So far I have
Titanium back up
Android booster
Bloat freezer (which I don't think it works)
Adfree
Busybox installer (which I don't know how to use)
Astro
mobile manager
Metamorph (which I really don't know how to use or get themes for it)
So if anyone has any input in what I have so far, knows how to use then correctly or has any apps that I need or works better then what I got, please help me

Titanium freezes apps so get rid of bloatfreeze. I like rootexplorer better than astro, addfree is also good for blocking adds in apps.
MEXICO U-17 WC CHAMPIONS!!

Root explorer is a fantastic app. I also use beautiful widgets and ring droid. As said before titanium backup is the best to freeze bloatware.

I installed Go Launcher and all the other Go products (most are free). It really brings the phone to life. I also Have lockscreen widget which helps simulate the cool lock-screen to camera/contacts/Music Player function the Sensation has.

Reboot widget. Much more simple than holding down power + volume down.

I use Droidwall. Simple firewall for your phone. Blocks data/wifi access to applications unless you explicitly allow it.

Any other good apps? and how fo I use metamorph? where do I get thee themes for it?

I'm going to have to second droidwall. Root call blocker is great, too.

SetCPU- CPU profile/steps changer
Cache Mate NG- cache cleaner
Root Tools- Build.prop.editor and Boot animation changer
AniMod- changes animation effects when changing menu's etc...Usually i keep all animation off so only the top task bar does the animation of flipping.
VMHeapTool- changes Heap size easily to 40 to give apps more breathing room
Spareparts- gives easy options to turn off certain settings
LG/2x Black- turns your LED buttons on and off when you recieve certain type of notifications.
SD Speed Increase- changes default SD of 46kbs to 2048-4024kbs to allow faster read and write speeds. Mileage varies depending on SD card.
+1 for adfree
+1 droidwall
+1 Go SMS
Freeze all bloatware ...only unistall non-essential programs like Tegrazone app if you don't use it.

DSPmanager -makes speaker soooooooo much louder been doing it for months no damage. Use the e q and turn em all the way up except for the first one, play with it while song is playing
APNsbackup- ur gonna need it for some roms if u like having data connection all the time.

Root Explorer and ROM Manager are MUST!
Root Explorer is one of the very best file manager and you can even backup/restore/transfer personal data on /data/data
ROM Manager is associated with clockworkmod recovery. It is another A MUST if you want to do nandroid backup and install custom ROM.
AnReboot can reset your phone if some persistent problem happens (like no signal)

Add LBE privacy guard to the list. It's handy. Use it with droidwall.

Titanium Backup free does not freeze apps.
Try Anttek App Manager. It does other stuff but I use it for freezing bloatware and it works perfectly.

[Theme] Smooth Maximus X (Complete w/Apps)

This is a Full Smooth Maximus X theme For the SM GingerClone ROM to give the look of using Smooth Maximus X with the feel of using SM GingerClone.
The framework theme is in a flashable.zip separate from the apps
Download the Framework theme Here: SMXthemefor_GC.zip >> Download!
Below will be a download link to a CWM flashable zip of a few of the themed apps from SMX.
I made these files separate because some people may want a setup similar to mines where i use the Framework from GingerClone but these themed apps from SMX.
The SMXappsfor_GC.zip includes the following apps:
Browser
Calculator
Camera
Battery Calibrator
Contacts
Dialer
Gallery
Gmail
Task Manager
Memo
Music
Music (Miui)
Messages (MMS)
MyFiles
Phone
Settings
Spart Parts
SuperUser
Swype
Voice Recorder
Youtube

SMXappsfor_GC.zip >>> Download!
if you do not want all of these themed apps you can download the SMXapps_folder.zip HERE and unzip it and push only the apps you want to system/app

got it, seems to work perfectly, thanks ayoteddy!! i am glad to have the new ROM with the SMX look!
wasn't sure if you forgot the market or meant to not include it, but i was able to copy vending.apk from SMX into the apps zip

This is totally awesome. thank you so much, deff a fan of your work! If you need me to test anything, im here bro.

If you want them all use the flashable version, otherwise to push them use a file explorer that allows root access like root explorer or super manager and copy the apps from somewhere on your SD card to system/app

And with my rom you have to set the default notifications with touchwiz apps (such as sms) cause I replaced the touchwiz sounds with nexus s sounds. Go to the settings in your sms app to set the notification sound

love this theme!!! just 2 things i noticed, i still have the green power control, and my dial pad dont look like the screenshot in the X thread. flashed the framework and apps. power control sticks out like a sore thumb with all this blue
love ginger clone, love this theme though

Have you rebooted your phone since flashing the theme? If so try flashing it again I had to flash twice to get it working right myself
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

just re-flashed, this time apps first than framework just in case its that, and.......
still the green power control tabs, and still the damn pink lines in the messaging app too. the dialer buttons was just because the ss shows them selected i think, they are blue then.
is the power control and messaging app not themed too?

Hmmm maybe you should redownload then flash cuz there should be nothing green in the theme its all black and blue
Also if you don't like the stock messenger app I suggest using gosmspro its pretty nice I got sick of the stock messenger the day I got the phone lol

[APP] / [HOW TO] Touch Key Lights

Okay, Touch key lights too bright on your G2X? Two ways to fix this... First, the app, which is easiest for most people:
-------------
(note: This is NOT my app. Just sharing it with you guys)
LG Optimus 2x touch key lights
Little tool for LG Optimus 2x & G2x phones only that allows the user to change the touch key lights brightness levels. The desired brightness level can then be set up on startup.
Root access is not needed except for the new G2x Gingerbread update.
Warning, this application is not and will not be compatible with touch key notifications mechanisms.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x
-----------
The other is the TECHIE way... by changing the value directly! You can change the touch key brightness FROM THE SHELL with the following command:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
.
Possible values are 1-20, where 20 is the brightest. Though honestly 15-20 all looked the same to me. You can set higher, but I'm not sure if it is safe for your touch keys. 0 would be OFF.
Now, you can type that in through adb shell, but you'd lose it when you reboot. So, if you have a Rom that supports init.d scripts, you can add it at the end of one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
If you don't have init.d scripts, you can also use TASKER with the LOCAL EXECUTE plugin. If you do, make sure to put a ! in front of the command so it executes as root.
I know, sparse, but I had to figure this out on my own and now you don't.

here is an app that does the same thing as the one you said PLUS it makes your 4 touch led lights blink when you have a missed called, mms, and gmail (hello notification lights)
https://market.android.com/details?...2xtouchlednotifications&feature=search_result
you dont need root access for froyo but you need it for GB

Interesting, is there a similar app that makes it so the lights are always on (dimmed, of course)?

This has been out for a while. The Custom Roms have this built in at a kernel level so it doesn't always run in the background and drain your batteries like a mofo.

well i haven't found it for weapon g2x if it has it on the kernel :/ , so i am using that app, is also great for someone that is running a stock gb rooted, like the 2.3.4 that is running arround

Actually, the ONLY custom Rom I've noticed that had anything close was MIUI (which you're using). In MIUI, the touchkey brightness was linked to screen brightness, all the way down to the lowest setting where it would be off. Nice, but not helpful to those of us who don't like the rest of the bugs present in MIUI. Also, I haven't seen any battery drain from this...

Good to have choices. I tried that one first. I didn't see the option to just change brightness, and I don't really want the notifications. I guess which one you choose depends on what you need.

Thanks. Ill try them both. I like the flashing buttons for notification option
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

i like this app!

If you're using a stock rom you can always go into LG's hidden menu and adjust the touch LED brightness. Using your dial pad dial 1809#*999# and it will open the hidden menu. From there select Device Test and then scroll all the way down and select Touch LED Brightness. Adjust the slider and you're good to go. You can do this whether or not you're rooted. The only catch is that it resets when you reboot the phone so you have to do it again with each reboot.

anyone have the led notification app working on weapon rom? I tried installing it and just get a force close.

Op updated with a method to do this WITHOUT an app. I know, I'm spoiling it for those SELLING apps to do just this, but hey... whatchagonnado.

Super useful to use tasker for this, thanks so much.

[MOD]CM9 Alpha 5 hide voicemail notification

Seems like some of us are stuck with these persistent voicemail notifications when we aren't on a touchwiz rom. CM7 let you hide these but CM9 does not.
Until a more official solution comes along this mod simply patches framework-res.apk to use a 1x1 transparent png in place of the standard notification.
Thanks goes to [s89281b, || Acer ||] from the cm9 thread for suggesting removing this icon or blacking it out. I tried removing but that caused the phone app to force close which led me to use a transparent image which should look fine for most situations.

I don't actually think you need to wipe anything for this to work but it never hurts to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also make a backup before flashing this.
Thanks to tbob18 for putting together a script to auto kill your phone app at boot up. Combine his script with my mod and you have a completely automated solution for dismissing that pesky notification.

Here you go guys. Took a little experimenting, but it works quite nicely.
Combined with this mod, you'll never see it.

Theoretically the program Autostart (Root) would be a great way to combine these two mods into one cwm flashable zip but it seems the app app does not work on ICS... And every time I tried to do it with preconfiguring script manager, it always force closed :/
I will keep looking into combining these two mods as I would love to make it a little easier.
Also thanks to a454nova for pointing out that if you force stop the phone app it will remove the notification and the icon until you reboot. I still like having icon modded to be clear so action isn't required after a reboot until you want to remove the notification.
Oh and I am not responsible for anything... at all... ever... unless it was good, that stuff is all my fault.

Yeah I forgot to mention if somethings missing it won't work properly

Thanks. Just flashed and working. Voicemail icon is gone. You will still have notification in pulldown but that's not annoying like icon. At least for me.

Yes, the notification will remain. Like you said its the status bar icon that bugs me the most as well.

Hmm, this might make me more willing to use CM9, however I've been hearing a lot of people are having battery issues. It's great that we have a temporary fix though and I'll be sure to use this method in updated versions.
I'm wondering if it's possible to locate the "Hide VM Notifications" feature in CM7, and try to port it over ourselves? I don't really have the experience, but it would be pretty helpful and would get rid of the notification in the dropdown menu as well.

Go into Titanium Backup, backup and uninstall the phone app. (I backed up the "Voicemail" [Phone 4.0.3...] and deleted it)
this will clear the voice mail anything...
restore the app and your good!
mine is gone, my brothers came back after he restarted. He just did it again and hasn't had an issue.

Works perfectly for me. Flashed the hiding notification too, in case I have to restart & forget to force stop Phone afterwards.

I was having this issue too, so I looked and noticed I had Sprint VVM still installed and not from a backup. I opened it and it said I had a new voicemail that couldn't be downloaded. I held the back button to kill the app, ???, profit!, vm notification is now gone...

That's not the type of notification this mod addresses. On non android phones your voicemail notification comes from a specially formatted text message sent from the carrier to your phone. No its not that funky one you get when visual voicemail isn't installed either. Its a class 0 message in cshp format that triggers your message waiting indicator. Its a relic left over from voicemail systems that were used before we got android phones that were not cleared out. Touchwiz roms ignore them but aosp roms do not because some carriers use them.

You say they are from an old system. The only phone I have ever had on sprint is android. Yet I still have six phantom vm. So either its still in use or it has carried over from before I was on sprint with the number I was given.
I really don't understand why its there. But ill see if Google can help. If you have direct resource pages I would appreciate it.

did your previous android phone on sprint have visual voicemail? If not perhaps that is the reason.
The message waiting indicator stuff in android SMS message is where this is happening. CPHS is the format.

Project Ameliorate Toolbox (P.A.T)

As the creator of many toolboxes for Motorola devices over the past 4 years I decided to try my hand at merging my toolbox with this new fangled thing called xPosed framework. This is where Project Ameliorate Toolbox comes in.
This toolbox is an extension of not only my previous works but I also imported parts of GravityBox as well as built my own parts for the xPosed portion of this toolbox.
** Gravity Box Parts **
I cherry picked some parts from GravityBox, these parts were picked because they work best on the X, and they are what I use.
You should check this out!

Parts of XYZ TOOLBOX may conflict with other xPosed Modules, if this occurs then you should uninstall the other modules.

The "exit an application" on back button is not how Android handles the life cycle of apps. The OS will take you back one stack (view, etc.), so if you are in an application with multiple views then the back button will keep going backwards through views until you eventually get back to the home screen.

I do not understand the request * Where do you find them?
They are an application that I had built previously and have now added to my version of an enhanced Toolbox. You can't find them in GB. (I hope this answers the question).
