Hello all you g2x users. Just got a g2x. Ran thru all the different roms without flashing a kernel. DL both ds/cm faux kernels, when i flash it, the screen goes black when rebooting. Reading the op, every room i have tried it with is compatible. Anyone have this happen
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
U are flashing wrong kernel.
Roms and kernels?
roms were eaglesblood and weapon. the kernels were the faux ds, cm, and gb which im sure was supposed to work. i really want to load a kernel to get my g2x getting higher scores then my sensation. already did stock if i remember right.
We need exact name and version of rom you are currently on, just whitehawks or cm7 wont due.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
That's what I was trying to say. I have tried several combos. Right notei just tried eaglesblood with faux gb kernel. I will look up the name and post back

Eaglesblood has 2 versions and you must use the correct kernel for the specific version. Example: if you are using weapon rom you cannot use faux cm version kernel. If you are using eaglesblood cm version rom you cannot use faux gb kernel. Read carefully and make sure you are mating them correctly.

EaglesBlood is based on an older version of CM. The current version of Faux's CM kernel (0.44) is based on 173+. You need to use version 0.43 (at the bottom of the OP) for 10-15-11.
For Weapon you have to use Faux's GB (gingerbread) kernel. Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
Read carefully for stock voltage or OC/UV (OverClock/UnderVolt), both versions 0.1.3.
Groove is correct.

so i loaded up eaglesblood 10-15 and derkernel and it was cool that i could finally overclock my g2x but i took a call and when i pulled the phone away to end the call the screen went black and no matter what i did i couldnt get the screen back on. had to pull the battery. nothing like that had ever happened til i loaded derkernel and turned it up to 1.5 ghz, anyone else have this happen??
The call wonk is a known issue with cm based roms. Listen, you've got to read the threads a little better before someone gets upset at you for asking questions that have already been answered. Usually you can find out about known issues in the OP (Original Post).
Also use the Stock Volt SV roms. There are 4 types of kernels. Regular Overclocked/Undervolted and stock volt... each one has CM and DS battery driver.
I used the SV DS one.
His standard pre overclocked kernel never booted for me. His rom never worked for me either.... got the black death too. So choose wisely.

I was not aware that call wonk was an issue on the g2x.
I understand where you are coming from but you can read the op in the "eaglesblood 10-15" thread and there was nothing about an issues such as call wonk. I thought the only phone with that issue was the sensation. I have had a number of android phones and trust me I have done my fair share of reading. If i remember right the only reason I started this thread in the first place was because on that day I had flashed several different combinations of roms/kernels and what I was reading wasnt translating when I tried to flash them. I am sellling my sensation and using this g2x in the mean time til the galaxy nexus finally gets off the boat.

You can't make such a bold statement, and not include info like what ROM you're running and other relevant info. There's also no need to start a new thread...there's already a thread on the Gingerbread kernel in the development section.
So, because you're having problems, you want to warn everyone on problems that no one else is having??..
Faux's kernels are working just fine for me.
Faux's Kernels are fine. Update and don't listen to this Guy.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App and a perfectly working Faux Kernel.
WOW. Really, Really ???
Running without a kernel...That's amazing...
Faux's kernels are rock solid...Running 2.5.1 since release and NO issues...
then why has my mytouch freezing alot when i get it out of sleep
Plus i am on RoyalGinger V1.6
OP is an idiot. Faux kernel works fantastic. If you have problem with the rom, ask in the rom thread. Don't try and talk about something you don't understand.

Had problems with it the other day. Running stock rom. Kept losing signal and data. Wifi stopped after about 10 minutes and had to restart the phone just to get it working again. Went back to what I was using before and problem went away.
Not sure what the real deal was as I have NEVER had a problem with his kernal.

The kernel being discussed here is faux's Gingerbread version.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Mytouch 4G forum that was specifically for roms, kernals, and any other type of hacking? Oh wait there is one and this thread is in the wrong forum.

you're a retard.. the reason why your phone is freezing on lockscreen, is cause you either have setcpu installed & have your screen off settings too low! don't have Max set below 368, which 245 freezes your phone! set min& Max to 368 and you will not get any freeze ups and save a lot of battery also! try it!
just don't make a thread about smashing someone's kernal who works so hard to make it for us! faux has great kernals, & you should give him the credit.
Lol sorry. Was on latest cm when tried it. Long day forgot what all I went through with this. Went back to stock rom after it was screwing up. Prolly try again with cm and this kernal. Think maybe it was a bad download causing the problem for me. Although would think I would get some kind of error when installing it.

First check whatever Rom is fully downloaded. Then check to make sure you fully downloaded the kernel. Make sure you have the proper kernel for your rom. Make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the proper kernel when it boots up let everything load for 4-5 minutes then reboot. If your using a low voltage version try stock version. Also use the cfs kernel and not bfs since your phone is lagging.

I have a rooted G2x with running Bionix 2. She runs fine until I try to flash a Kernel. It will get stuck in a boot cycle, run really slow, and have no service. I can restore before flashing the Kernel and its fine again. Have tried a few different ones with the same outcome. Tried a pretty solid search but nothing comes up that fits.
UBER THX in advanced.

Bionix 2 is VERY outdated and abandoned at this point.
But if your bootlooping than you've probably flashed the wrong kernel. But if your positive it's the correct kernel then it's probably because Bionix is ANCIENT.
You really are better off on something based on the official OTA 2.3.3 like Weapon G2x. CM7 is a better option as well
Just updated to the latest CM7 Nightly, and so far twice today, when I went to hit the sleep button. The screen remains black. I can see a blacklight go on though or something, as the screen changes from when its in sleep. But it remains black.. Is this a known bug? Any suggestions? I would really hate to have to go back to Weapon as I spent all day setting up CM7.
edit: upon further investigation, this appears to be called sleep of death? Are there any known fixes for it?
I had the same problem, happened with every cm7 based rom....i tried posting my problem on this forum for help but no 1 really had any idea what was the issue or how to fix it...as far as I know we're stuck using 2.3.3 roms
Btw do you have a wind optimus 2x or a tmobile g2x? Mine is from wind

I think there are 2 different sleeps of death, one of them only happens sometimes, whereas the one we get happens every single time the screen turns off
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
hopefully we can fix this problem together.. It seems Cm7 has better battery life then the other roms so I would hate to go back.
well weapon has been pretty good for me...can't complain really...which CM rom did u try with faux's kernel?
The very latest nightly. Cant remember off hand which one it is.
Also, If I flashed weapon right now (being on CM7 + faux kernel), will I retain the faux kernel? Or will I need to reflash faux's kernel. And even though this kernel says CM7, will it still work with weapon?
I believe the kernel would be flashed over by the stock kernel in weapon, if it doesn't get flashed over then i doubt your phone would be able to boot up, because the kernel shouldn't be compatible with stock 2.3.3
give a shot and try it out, also if you want to over clock on weapon there should be another kernel by faux that u can use, look for it in the development forum
I am going to stay a little longer on CM7, maybe someone can help me with these SOD's.. Then I guess I wil go back to weapon or try out that eagle one. Not sure which is better..
i think the stock eagleblood is very plain and clean....i like weapon because its a little more customized, plus its the only stock rom that has the notification power menu...and from the looks of it, our problem seems very rare so i don't think anyone has or will develop a fix for it

i ended up trying it for myself even though it didn't work for u, and it actually ended up working for me
i'll give u detailed steps for what i did and maybe it'll work for u too
(this is all on CWM recovery)
after backing up i factory reset (wiped data), wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and formatted /system
then i flashed the latest CM7 nightly (195), then i flashed gapps
i wiped cache and dalvik again then i flashed faux's 0.4.4 CM SV kernel
i then pessimistically rebooted and voila for the first time i had a functional CM7 rom....i've put the screen to sleep about 10 times so far and it awoke every time so i think it should be fixed
I hope it works for you. I probally didnt see my first SOD until maybe 50 or 60 sleeps.
well I used to get the SOD on the first sleep so its definitely an improvement for me...i'll let you know if it lasts i guess
What is the most stable rom at the moment?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
there are lots! just take a look in the development section. there are also alot of threads started with this same question that have alot of peoples reviews in this and the general section. Personally my phone plays well with stock based roms EB/ Weapon G2x/ Tsugi etc. where everything works well including the elusive GPS locks (within seconds on updated July Baseband) No FC or random Reboots. From reading throught threads ive noticed to each their own. as it seems many peoples G2x plays differently with each rom. best answer is to flash away and find the one for you.
Ill use this thread since it was already started.
I am running stock CM 7.1 right now.. I am looking to play.. BUT I would like to be able to re-install apps each time I flash.. maybe even save email accounts and SMS??
Does Titanium do this? whats best for doing this when you play with ROMs?
Or do you just suck it up and have to re-install each time??

This may sound stupid, but is the wifi not working in general as a whole an issue with the phone or it's software, if it's software, what would you suggest as being a good,stable rom for the issue above?

There's been a bug with 4.0.4 roms that requires you to flash it twice, one after another, nothing in between. Next time you try a rom like that, take note of how long it takes to install. If it only took a few seconds, it wasn't properly flashed. Flash again right away and you should notice it taking longer to install. Then flash your gapps and/or kernel if ya need it and reboot. Should be good.

It doesn't effect the EB AOSP ROM. It's 4.0.3.
@Caliyork yeah your right I really ain't notice that but I'll be looking at that, have you been successful putting kernels on because I have the same problem with that ?? I mean I got one to go thru but when it fully booted up the touch didn't work and I couldn't unlock it so it wasn't functional. I had to restore and run a rom without a kernel.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
are you flashing the proper kernel, sounds like you grabbed a kernel for a different phone, I'm guessing something from the Morfic collection?
Hmm could be, but I was in the g2x forum and I browsed for kernels and I got fauxs 123 kernel, Trinity, and Harshs and none of them seemed to have worked, I used Mr.Apocalypse and none of them went thru. Cud u give me links to see if any were the right ones ? Do you use OC/UV ?

All those that are directly in the forum are correct except maybe harsh his might've been a p990 kernel. Some phones don't play well with some kernels.

I'm not sure referring to quality control is accurate, but phones do have bad batches or manufacturing tolerances and what not. Can't always get the cream of the crop.
That's practically the one reason why I chose the G2x instead of the HTC MyTouch 4G lol. Bad EMMC happens to die on you and you've got yourself an expensive brick.
Have you tried any other ROM other than ICS roms? Trying to figure out if the problem is restricted to those only. Might help.

Haha yeah I've heard that before but I'm not sure if I have a bad batch because I got Genesis, AOKP, and Hellfire (ICS roms) to work fine but could not get any custom kernels that supported OC/UV to work on them. Uhh I actually been using nothing but ICS roms I never tried and other roms that supported GB just cuz I wanted to be updated. Are you on any other Roms or you using a ICS rom ?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I've used a lot of different ROMs, and they all work fine. But I'm on the stock LG 2.3.4 that was released lately, and that's been running really super.
Flashing ICS doesn't necessarily mean that you're up to date when a lot of things don't work. I've used AOKP, EB's AOSP, HFS and Owain's. I have multiple problems with data dropping, APN's disappearing when entering Airplane mode or mass storage just completely does not work. Not to mention, NO NETFLIX!
As far as kernel issues, make sure you're installing the appropriate ones for the P999 and make sure they're ICS specific and not for the GB kernels.
Edit: If I remember, EB's AOSP uses a modified Faux Kernel that supports OC right off the bat, so there's no need to flash a different kernel.
That's true never thought of it like that where can I get the rom you are using ???? And yeah I tried to get EB AOSP to work but it wont for me -_____- lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I'm using a stock rom. If you feel adventurous then flash the new V21y baseband (50% likely to brick your phone hard). If not, I would just stick with GB. My all time favorite is WeaponG2x.
