My new found love for the g2x - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just want to start off by saying I am new to the root world. That being said I have never had so much fun with a device after rooting and going flash rom crazy.. This is my 1st smart phone & I've had it for about a year. I have hated this damn phone for almost that whole time until I decided to root. I have tried almost all roms and if you are looking for what I believe to be the smoothest ics rom than try this one.

On Eaglebloods thread you will find everything you need to flash this rom.
I now absolutely love my g2x!!

While I sometimes have a love hate relationship with the g2x ics really makes it shine! Keep enjoying the g2x! God bless.

I hear you regarding the love hate thing, but this phone was a piece of junk before I found the world of rooms. now it is at the very least a nice functioning phone.

I went through six of these phones before I got one that worked. I wish LG would release the ics code so we could have video acceleration on ics.

i understand completely, im new to the root world too and man this gave more life into my phone, makes me feel like i have a new phone after i flashed ics

Thinking of buying this phone used (and then ofcourse I'll root/ROM it with whatever the recommendation here is).
How's the battery life? I have an LG P509 (optimus one), it has a 3.5 inch screen and a 700Mhz processor but the battery life is really good with Cyogenmod 7. When the phone was new, it used to go for 12 days on a single charge (I'm a very light user, so maybe a few short calls a week, that's it).
So if you charge it fully, do you still have to charge it every day even if you barely use it?

Well if you get one welcome to the G2x family. It has a 1500 mah battery. I am a pretty heavy user and the battery lasts the whole day & I mean I am on it almost all the time. The phone does an adequate job on conserving battery life. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have anymore questions on the phone & hit the thanks tab please.

Thanks so if it lasts one day on heavy use, it should last longer on light/standby, cool. I clicked the thanks button for your post.
I'm trying to find out if there's a working FM radio on the phone. The phone specs on GsmArena say it has one:
gsmarena.com/t_mobile_g2x-3888.php
'Radio: Stereo FM radio with RDS'
But I'm seeing comments elsewhere where people said it doesn't work.
I know finding a free working radio app is a challenge. It has been for my current phone, LG p500 Optimus one, which has an FM radio (that works for local radio, no internet streaming). I found one free solution that partially works (no seek function).
If the phone has the hardware and no app, I could buy the $10 Spirit FM radio app which might work.
So can you guys see any FM radio functionality?

Well I don't know if this helps but I use an app called tuneinradio. I listen to local FM stations as well as many other through out the country.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Oh yea, I got that app a few days ago. That works through data/wifi. Its a nice app.
I might buy it even if there's no FM radio, considering I almost never use it. I still like having the option.

From what I can remember reading... I don't think we have the functionality.
And nickster! I'm glad you love your phone now... I can't even imagine going a year with something I don't enjoy, lol. I had a MyTouch 3G Slide for a while and eventually wanted to root it when I heard it wouldn't get 2.3... after overclocking I guess you could say I had the same experience, haha.

Yeah it was a long year.
It made me truly appreciate all these options for flashing though. . Now if we could only get LG to release the ics code hehe.

Define heavy. I never got a full day of charge with heavy usage. Maximum 6 to 8 hours but that's a stretch.
Sent from my LG-P999

I'm not going to write a book about all my usage. I would think you know what heavy usage means. I Lower my voltage and use my phone a lot and I hold my charge all day.

EB 4.0.4 AOSP all the way!
I have to agree that the ROMS available have made this phone far better than it was the day I picked it up a year ago. I struggled with the stock for about a month before rooting and moving on. Just loaded EB 4.0.4 this weekend and it rocks. Welcome to the fold.

Well the guy on Craigslist didn't respond to my inquiry. The price was pretty good, just $120 for a used phone.
I don't know, I guess I'll keep looking around and until then survive on my current phone.

Slight delay - there will be a delay in the release i was shooting for this week but maybe a bit longer I dont want to just put out trash so I really want my first release to be something worthwhile and to build on.
Wanted to show all who are anticipating some of my custom work here is the def background that will be included in rom

Good luck man. Wish you the best. BTW second!!!

Building a ROM is too much for myself, glad there's more devs out there. For now, my goal is just to finish completing my themes. haha
Good luck sir! i'll be happy to support you!! and by the way rjmjr didn't do anything for SRF ROMs. credit goes to k0nane and the kernel developer, tatnime (idk how to spell it ><)
He (jmr) barely knows how to flash a ROM on his own epic.
yea
Thank you all I had gotten in to themeing on the og droid for a minute was working on a really nice looking red white and blue patriot theme for droid but never got to finish it had everything done though far as the framework res and such just needed to go in theme all of the standard apps and keyboard but phone was done dialer etc was clean.Wish i had some screenies to show but i reformatted and didnt think to back those up since i was no longer using them but they would have come in handy now lol oh well just about done getting everything situated on the comp got the build.prop finshed up and the updater script for the rom just need to work out the framework-res and apps themeing wont be heavily themed however as I want users to be able to customize to there liking and not mine but I promise when aosp comes out it will be very nice as i already have a good foothold in modding for og droid froyo.

Favorite part about your rom

This is not a best rom question, but I'm curious what subjectively is your favorite and why? Every Rom thread seems to have at least one person chiming in with "tried them all, this is the best" comment, but surely there are some roms that just don't work out for people.
I'm running miui right now, and I love the level of customization and the little tweaks. One of my favorite features is turning on the flashlight from the lock screen, just a little tweak, but so useful. I also really liked honeysense, but I couldn't get it to stop sucking my battery 5% every hour. What do you all think?

I guess a feature I can highlight is the CPU clock management scheme. It's automated. I like jacking with my phone as much as the next guy, but CPU clocking is a feature I would rather have automated, and from what I can discern the Virtuous devs came up with quite an elegant solution.
[Edit] And I "build" CPU's for a living haha. Funny/strange and funny/haha in a way that is pretty much the one thing I'd just as soon not to have to eff with on my effin phone :-o .

I like the Sense UI. Yeah I know it takes up RAM blah blah blah but whatev's I like it. As far as this ROM goes, I can't find a d-thing wrong with it. Nothing. It's like what a stock ROM should be, and Virtuous is way better than the AT&T stock ROM.

Well, I like the fact that we at least have *choices,* no matter what the ROM, sense or no-sense, this radio or that radio, etc...
This thread wouldn't be happenin' in iPhone-land.
Currently running Honeysense and I love the low battery consumption compared to other ROMs. Other ROMs have just drained my battery crazily. But running Honeysense has prolonged my battery life greatly while giving me my favorite Sense features on my phone. Couldn't be happier with it.
I like cm7 for tweaking the auto brightness settings, customizing the power widgets in the notification bar, and customizing the haptic feedback settings.

When I was looking into buying a phone, I told the guy I was waiting for the iphone5 before making a decision. He then told me that's stupid because no matter what, you're still stuck with ios. I was a little offended because I had jailbroken my iphone and had tweaked it with lockinfo, five icon dock, sb settings, themed with winterboard and more. I showed him my phone thinking I would shut him up, and then he replied that I was half way to android. I couldn't believe this, but the more research I did, I realized that even jailbroken, I was still not able to do everything I wanted to on my phone.
One of the biggest reasons I went Inspire over Atrix was the number of Roms available and the XDA support was much better. On a spec sheet, the Atrix has Inspire beat in almost every category, but I believe the user experience is better on Inspire. Can't be happier.
Finally, for those of you on Virtuous Unity, how would you compare that ROM with RCmix3D? I really liked RC, so I'm wondering what the differences are.

I keep hearing about the RCMix ROM. I will put that one on the list. One issue some of us did find the last day or so is we are not able to connect adb. Weird. I am just waiting for my phone to charge to 100% and I am going to re-flash the ROM full wipe with no apps restore in an effort to see if the issue is the ROM or something in my settings.
Edit" This was fixed with a full un-install / re-install of the Android SDK. Wjy the previous install worked on other ROM's and not this one is unknown. Totally enjoying Virtuous OC'd at 1.4M. I have delved into the built it CPU frequency management scheme and it blows away cheesy CPU apps. Totally elegant.
Running LeeDroid v3.2.1 with full sense 3.0/3D add-on and it's arguably the best rom I've ran to date. The battery isn't the greatest but I keep it plugged in at my desk for the most part so it isn't really an issue for me. I love the visual aspects and animations of this rom like the 3D UI/3D widgets, the lock screen with the Lord of the Rings modded ring and the Photo grid widget.
Favorite part about my ROM??

GingerBeast has been the longest ROM I've had installed (39 days and counting) since getting the Inspire back in March.

+1 for Ginger beast. Only ROM i have ever kept for more then 1 week. That includes my previous android Captivate. It was the same dev that and he always puts out great quality. Gb is simple/crazy fast/stable and record breaking battery life for me.

I was on gingerbeast for a good two weeks, and it is a great rom. The one thing that I couldn't get over was the lack of tap to focus on the camera. I know it's a little thing, but I just missed it so much from my sense based roms. I went to miui as a result, and was surprised at how many customizations it has. I just flashed virtuous unity today, and so far so good!
right now im loving cyanogenmod 7 nightly 110 which i think is good enough for a stable release but i love the power and battery i get from it, 46 hours and still going

Best rom and kernel for battery life?

which rom and kernel and you using and what type of battery life are you getting? im using faux 0.03 kernel on interactive setting and the senseless rom 1.3 and with heavy use im getting about 5 hrs, how about everyone else?
I tried InsertCoin and Revolution HD and the battery life was awful. Everyone said I needed to calibrate my battery, let it charge and die a few times but none of that worked. I went back to stock and I got over a day and a half

Exactly my reason for avoiding ROMs. Its too bad people here get so pissy when you wont try their fav. ROM.
I am holding out for CM7. They have a GREAT reputation!
BTW-For all those that are using a min clock speed of 300+Mhz, I notice that my STOCK cpu min is 192Mhz. Try dropping your min speed down some, as that seems to be what the stock ROM uses...

I meant to say, CUSTOM ROMS, as in, ROMS built by everyone and their grandma here.
Seems everyone has their own ROM these days...And I read a LOT of complaints about them. Please, dont go to bat for the ROMs. Everyone gets to have an opinion, let me have mine this time and back off. We have valid complaints.
Why is it that anytime someone here mentions anything slightly less than great about a ROM, someone with jungle fever has to step in and twist their nuts?

What he's saying is he's waiting for a custom ROM with no Sense and good reputation (i.e. CM7) to come along, then he'll flash that. He doesn't want to flash any custom ROM because he's heard bad things about some, which may or may not be true. You got a problem with that?
Personally, my favourite custom ROMs for the Sensation are InsertCoin 2.2 and Android Revolution HD. I'm not gonna flash any more ROMs until I can completely refresh my Sensation and put a clean, small ROM on it, without Sense. That ROM is CM7

"They certainly have a reputation that they are trying to overcome that I have seen first-hand myself.
Thankfully, AndroidForums suffers from no such bad-rep, and we are all striving here to make sure that continues."
Looks like XDA has alot of work to do. Alot of people like you here. Who cares why I am still here? I am...Why do you care so much? I find it interesting that there are a handful of turds, including you, that go around making trouble for people. Are you THAT unhappy with life that you need to make others unhappy?
I believe most people here would agree that my point was made, correctly. Whats your age? I feel like I am arguing with a teenager that has yet to make it to Algebra 2. (No offense to those that HAVENT had Algebra 2...)
If you have zilch to say about what "WE" are all talking about, then why not go flash a ROM? Or better yet, have some lemonaide! :-D

I posted a bit about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16852910#post16852910 but the short story is I'm now on Revolution HD 3.0.0 and after some research I found that the Facebook apps are doing something with the Calendar which was draining the battery. I'm only a few hours in, but so far so good with no account being added to either Facebook app.

IF This isn't enough to hold us off 'till unlock I don't know what is!

Slowly but surely we r getting some serious upgrades without s-off or bootloader unlocked. Custom Roms are out now that dont use recovery. I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my Overclocked 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! Devs just started doing it like this...
It's only going to get better! Everyone wanting to return their phones because we aren't unlocked yet should think twice! What more do you want in the 3rd week after launch? Most of these new tweaks and roms have come out today. Wait till the end of the week and see how much better this is gonna be..

236 was best of about 15 runs? 17th over all. Not to bad
Sounds promising!

The devs are certainly doing a great job considering the state of the bootloader.
I'd like to see a CPU spy report of the OC module to see if it's utilizing other clock speeds effectively.
What about a Passmark Performance test? Those seem to be very thorough in their tests.
On my stock HOX I was getting somewhere around 2200-2300.
So, you get this beasty phone that beats all benchmarks, yet you can't do much on it, because everything is being FC...how ironic is that?

Thats insane. The best I got on my sensation XL was 537 with its last generation snapdragon cores.

I personally havent had any negative effect of the multitasking issues if that is what you are referring to. If you are saying apps are FCing as in having errors, havent had any problems with that either. So what are you talking about? So far i can do everything i want to do, everything i was doing on my sensation which was OC'd to 1.7. it felt like a 5 year old device compared to this one. If it isnt working for you, return it. Its doing fine for me. Best phone i've ever used. The multitasking issue will get fixed. The International version is already significantly better with their first update. I stream music daily in my car and have never had the service stop. i also use minfree and v6superscript which both help the mt woes.

Overclocking this thing is pointless. Aside from boosting meaningless benchmarks there is no reason to do it, the S4 screams as is.

I tried messing around with Minfreemanager, but it ended up making my phone lock-up on a fairly regular basis, presumably because it couldn't get the free RAM it needed. Am I the only one having that problem? Are you on 1.82?

Yeah, I'm on 1.82. I've used both the mild and default presets with no issues. Multitasking is working a lot better now to point where it's not really bothersome at all.

If you haven't had any issues with multitasking, how can you say that minifree and v6superscript help with the multitasknig woes?
I'm new here, I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just seriously struggling with "multitasking woes" personally and there are so many saying that it "doesn't bother them," I'm trying to figure out if it's something that I'm doing wrong or they're doing right or what.
I've gotten over 5,000 and not even overclocked

Welcome to XDA! I did have issues before running minfree. I could start a text message, exit with the home button, re-enter the app, and it would start over. Running minfree has resolved this issue. I'm not a big gamer on mobile, but I did test the before and after with Angry Birds Space. Before, it would completely refresh when exiting the app and re-entering, but now I can open several apps before it completely refreshes. It's not perfect, but has made it very tolerable. Also, I have either disabled or removed any of the AT&T or HTC bloat.

Glad to hear it, tahnks for the response
I know this isn't the place for this question, but : I know changing bootloaders (if it were unlocked) means you won't get updates from AT&T, but does rooting have the same side effect? Or can you still receive OTA updates from AT&T after rooting?

That I'm not sure about, but you can run the 1.82 RUU again which will remove root and the tampered flag in the bootloader.
With being overclocked to 1.8, how is your battery life?

LG ICS

Anyone interested? I don't have much info on it now cause my time is short but here is a screen shot. It was "ported" over using cm9 alpha 5 as base

*Bugs*So*Far
When entering landscape and exiting landscape on the LG launcher it force closes for some reason.
Some LG generic icons show till a reboot happens ( first boot only )
LG Music widget isn't working ( looking for an easy fix or removal ).
*Tweaks*
There are some tweaks too like long hold of power while screen is off activates torch.
Pressing the camera button while screen is off and music is playing will pause/play current track.
The rom looks like cm9 other than launcher so I dunno if you would consider it a port lol...

I just want to be sure before I get to deep with it. And like I said I don't have much info other than what's here was pulled from an LG ICS leaked system dump. It was done for the evo shift and I talk to the dev all the time so I'm going to see if I can help him iron out his issues along the way of this one because I also support that phone with a different ROM/kernel. I don't want to get ahead of myself, I'm busy till Sunday but wanted feed back on the idea. In the mean time I'm going to run what I have just to get a feel for it and the bugs it has. Once I get a chance to look at the dump ill be able to see if there are little pieces left out that could/would be causing the force close issues with a couple things. Or they could just be broke that's why its a leak anyways I'm off to bed for a change

Best bet would be to post in development section regarding this. I don't think much of the flash junkies ever visit the general sub forum unless they have some problems with their device! lol!
Anyways a Work in Progress is already considered as development right? So I don't think that would make it offtopic.

Well nothing is posted but some screen shots, I got it done right as my daughter got here so I posted a general thread to see what you guys thought before I posted another cm type ROM.

I'd gladly test it for you. Report back bugs and stuff, but that's after I get back my phone anyway.

Looks cool. I'll play with it a bit if it helps.
Funny how so many of us abhor Sense but will jump on a Touchwiz or Motoblur or LG skin. Change of pace is nice I guess. I actually got half excited by a Sense ROM for my kids OG Droid (play phone for games and youtube) then I realized what I was thinking...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I won't even have time to get a link out till Sunday, I'm pretty full on family activities and they get 99% of my attention. And by that time ill be looking for fixes but ill get a couple private links up soon

Sense is heavy and bloated. I really hate that about it. What really draws me to this is that its based on Cyanogenmod. CM has really nice tweaks and features, some I've come to feel I can't live without nowadays. I don't think there's a device I could get and not use CM on it. This would be a really nice change from stock CM for me

Would be nice to try it out! Can't hurt to have an addition to the ROM choice here right!? :beer:
Thanks Strapped. Family comes first.
::Respect::
I'd love to take a look at that one myself Strapped. Looks a bit different. Seems to have some visual enhancement to it too but I can't quite put my finger on just what.....maybe something about the app drawer icon shading. And to be honest with you I've always been a bigger fan of CM9 derivatives than the original. No offense to the CyanogenMod team tho..........
Love to see YOU get your hands on this one! :good:
Yeah I def need to figure something out. Its a port from a system dump, to the evo shifts cm9 rom, then ported from that device to ours. Its running the LG launcher and also the motoblur ics launcher. Of course the LG widgets won't run on the MoTo launcher but there are no MoTo widgets. Hopefully I can find parts around the net for both lauchers to be complete(high hopes). I will say its a def change from the standard cm ROM. Last battery only got about 10 hours with 3 hours screen on but I'm thinking all the youtube videos my daughter watched today played a big role in that, so after a full day of running no new bugs have popped up. And since this is gonna get atleast some usage I can have the mod lock/delete this soon and just start a dev thread for the ROM once I get it up

That already sounds VERY promising! I'd be happy to apply as an "Orkin Man" on the project for you if you need anyone. It looks to be a VERY different ROM from what any of us are used to seeing!

You already know G. I'd like to port everything. The only thing stopping me now is the full port won't boot/logcat and the themed cm9 would be ready I just don't like the landscape FC issue

Man everywhere I turn its like I can't make a decision on what to touch. I have the aokp the paranoid-android,MikTouch and MikXE for this device then Supreme Sense and an aokp for the speedy,along with trying to get my speedy source updated on git so I can post there tweaked kernel with no low level battery cap. I've had it done for about a month but then the slave got wiped so I have to reproduce a source without compiling again since some major changes happened and now my commands won't turn the zImage into a boot-new.img correctly

MAN! That's awful. I sure do hope it's not a mechanical issue with your slave drive otherwise there may be other issues looming on the horizon.
It sounds to me like you're juggling chainsaws right now.....even more than I realized. I don't know how you keep it all straight in your head! When I take on more than one project at a time it reaaally messes with me.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate yours and the other developers time & efforts that call the DS "home". And I also understand that even though you have a perfectionist living inside you, this is a very nice ROM even with the few issues that are haunting you. I guess I've just gotten used to using a few very easy workarounds to the point I hardly notice them anymore. When you decide to, this is going to be one that people like myself appreciate more than some others will. Being that, there really is a minority group of us that just likes the derivative ROMs generated from the CyanogenMod code really better than the "original" in most cases. Even though it's mostly just a launcher change in your mind....this is definately one of the ROMs. :good:

Well in that case..... I got some cabinets to hang today, and measure to downsize a Window and once that's done I'll upload.......
And the bigger issues I can see coming faster than I could have imaged. I have a windows hd now thanks to you. And it will boot up just fine with the slave attached, but Linux will no longer boot with thee slave attached, it actually freezes because I have to hit esc to enter my boot menu to choose what drive to boot :banghead:

I'm glad to hear that! And very soon there will be lots of us that will be glad too. I run it on a pretty regular basis myself simply because the things I use regularly do work so well. Besides, over the past couple of months we've had several programmers with varying degrees of abilities move in here with us that I can forsee them wanting to see if they can figure out those very few issues that you really just don't have the time to right now. That is, if you don't mind. We DO have a very healthy community attitude here for the DS ya know.
I wish I knew something to tell you about your slave drive issue though. Would physically setting it to "drive select" instead of "slave" with the jumpers have any affect on it?
