i traded my samsung galaxy s 4g phone for a g2x and the g2x is flashed and rooted. now there are a few problems with it. one manger one is that there is no market/play store icon anywhere im running on 2.3.7 model number is LG-P999
kernel version is 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected] and mod version is cyanogenmod-eaglesblood_build-2.8 now im not sure if everything is up to date. figured if someone can help me with this.
For the market and other apparently missing. You need to download the latest Google apps. The link is on some of the android development pages. I would look but iI'm on my phone.e

Go to eagles blood ROM 2.8 GB in Android development. Read thru it to get your gapps.
Using your phone , go to eagles blood website.
www.eaglesblood.com
Click on the download tab and select the phone that is P999... at the bottom of that page is the gapps download link.
Once you have downloaded Google apps, you can then install it using CWM. If you need more detailed instructions, they have them posted on their website. If you need more help , just ask. This is a pretty friendly forum.
Don't quote me. I'm probably wrong.

Go on cyanogenmod's website. They'll have flashable zips if you prefer to go that way.
LG and T-Mobile will be pushing the V21y baseband update over the air, so you'll be able to get it by going into the software update menu in Settings> About phone. This was posted in another thread about the updates - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362

No, the latest is March 2012 baseband but then you can't use any other custom ROM with that baseband so in a way you are up to date.

If you want a stock rom with newer baseband. Update
If you are a flash addict, keep what you have for now. Eventually T mobile will be doing OTA updates in coming weeks
P.S: Start thanking ppl, for a change, whoever helped you in this thread. Its not nice to ask help and not hit the thanks button. ^_^ Just saying.

what about CyanogenMod 7? its what im using right now.
No go. You will be able to use it but your calling feature will be abnormal. That is static sound when you call or when some1 calls you. Basically defeats the purpose of having a phone.

The error is a spoof, just reboot, it installed.
With that said, anyone else have screen dim when loading the new LG Camera. When I pull battery and reboot the dimmed screen goes away, any other work around, as I hate pulling the damn battery.
Is there an easy way to root the official OTA? I want to remove some bloatware and flash the LG cam. The reason I'm on the stock official is because of the baseband which made a huge difference for me (and as far as I know, there's no other way to get it)
Thanks in advance

hmm.... It gets stuck at step 5...
See post 4 above. Xboarder provider rooted v21e OTA, you can flash over the LG update. It will preserve the baseband. Then simply flash the LG Camera.
Xboarder also provided a bloat remover.zip that you can apply that removes all the TMobile bloat. It could not be simpler.

If I understand correctly, this will replace the Gingerbread camera with the Froyo camera. It doesn't sound like it's possible to have both on the phone at the same time -- is that right?
The reason I ask is that I'm really much happier with the way the Gingerbread camera works with the flash; the Froyo camera generally overexposed nearby things, but the new camera does a good job of regulating the flash and shutter. I'd like to have all the bells and whistles (that I haven't needed yet but might be handy someday) from the Froyo camera, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the improvement in flash photos (which is something I do pretty often).

Is there an updated "how to install CM7"? I've searched around and keep finding bits and pieces of what I want, but not the whole picture.
I'm on a stock rooted g2x but want to make sure I do this right. I've flashed CWM recovery with NVFlash. Do I need to update with LG tool to get the latest baseband, or do I just flash CM7?

I thought this was caused by Tegra 2 not being compatible with certain governors... That's what I heard anyway. Hope it's not true. I miss the freq governors.

If you want the latest baseband, you have to go through LG's flasher or the OTA update. However, this is not required for CM7. CM7 is happy with either baseband version.

Finally! Maybe now, we can fix the data issues in CM7!

I, for one, can't wait for A2DP on CM7. That would make this device PERFECT for me.

I haven't noticed any improvement from old baseband to new, so just flash CM7 and don't worry about the LG updater tool.
1. Nandroid backup using cwm
2. wipe using cwm
3. flash cm7 (just get the latest nightly: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999)
When you flash subsequent nightlies/RCs of CM7, you can flash right over the previous CM7 flash, just be sure to wipe cache/dalvik cache and do a repair permissions before booting into new CM7 flash. At least that's my little ritual, not sure how much it helps.

I think you are talking about baseband, if you upgrade your phone to March 12, 2012 baseband you won't be able to load any other rom except rooted stock 2.3.4., CWM has nothing to do with it. Actually you can flash any rom on your phone running newest BB but you can't make any phone calls. With oldrer BB from July 15, 2012 everything goes all roms are ruuning fine GB and ICS, hope this helps
