Okay this question has been bugging me for a while now. Everyone is waiting on RC aka Ricardo AKA..... on getting the ported p990 to then be ported over to p999. We have many fine Developers here like Eagleblood , Rafase282, tonyp, Kashamalaga and many MIA ones that may or may not return like nycelitemaster, owain94, x0xhellx0x and my favorite Mr. Apocalypse.
My question is simple and would love one of these guys to answer it if possible.
Why are we waiting for RC to port it over when anyone of you guy have done it before. Am I wrong when saying that most of you have ported P990 over to P999 before? I respect everyone I have named. You have brought new life to my G2X. JUst wondering why we wait for RC, like he is the only one who can do this. Please if I am missing something let me know. thanks
I believe they are waiting for a more stable release of CM10 for the P990 before they bother to port it over for the P999. They should have many of the same bugs that need to be worked out. There is no need to do it twice.
I felt the same thing. Can some of the Developers list above or others I missed confirm this? Maybe this can stop or slow down the rants. The only reason I feel it may not be a difficult thing to do it because of this guys post...
Lezo OS
Hello everyone.
This is a port of the P990 Lezo OS a CM based rom. I am not a developer, just someone who was lucky enough to have this work It's just another piece of a so called "Crack Flashing Series". There are plenty of roms provided to our community, and this also brings people with different likes and dislikes. I aim only to share some of the other roms out there with the community. Maybe you want to try something out inbetween updates from your favorite rom, well, try this.
None of this would out be possible without the help of guides from dubntz and blindndumb. If you like any of the ports thank them as well.
This guy has done it before with other p990 Roms with little experience.
When we were on Cm7 we were able to port roms by using the already created cm7 base. The problem now is we don't even have a P999 cm10 base to port with, which is why we're waiting on RC since he needs to create the base.

We need kernel and some of the drivers for our device which only ricardo has for jb. Like all of you, i am myself waiting for it. I might be moving on to nexus4 depending on money in hand. 16gb will run for almost $400 after tax.

Don't we already have the drivers and Kernal? They are part of p990 and then don't they just need to port it over.
More then likely it would be easier to port tonyps experimental ics. We can compile a kernel for it and have the drivers. We just need the experience lol

Here's what I think based off what I have read:
I think first and foremost, our Dev's who all own P990's are working in wrapping their wits around the sources for their phones, us and our G2x's are the red-headed step-children (figuratively) of LG. The phone has potential, but gets little attention. I also believe that the Devs are waiting for a kernel to be built with the new sources, which those sources have to be altered to work with the G2x, as they did for the O2x. Something which I don't think our Devs want to do. I may be wrong, but I would think that Bene, or Dj V. have the know-how to do it. Again, we're back to the fact that they're (understandably) going to do work for their phones first.

As far as I know, the kernel sources for su660 has some issues compiling kernel for p999. It can be one of the reason why we don't have cm10 yet. I believe the developers are working on it. Also the kernel source comes with locked boot loader. So its essential to port old boot loader which is not locked to the new kernel. This might also be preventing other developers from building kernel. If I have time, I will try to see if I can compile the kernel with old boot loader or not this weekend. I am a full time science student. I think to port the p990 ROM we just need a p999 kernel and some p999 specific drivers such as ril drivers. I do hope the cm10 comes asap though. I might be wrong.
While I do not consider myself a developer, I thank you for listing me there. I personally do not have the time and knowledge required to build a cm10 base for the p999 based off the p990. The kernel and rom needs to be change to work for our phones. Also as it was said already, it would make no sense to make an early port, based on RC work which will most likely piss him off if we start kanging and using his work while it is not even stable enough to build for our phone. So I would say that out of respect and time/knowledge required most people able to make the port would either wait for help debugging the p990 version so it can be ported to other devices without the same issues to be fixed twice or more times.
In order to port you need a current rom with jb drivers for our phone. Porting will rip the kernel out of our rom and plug it into the ported rom. Thus why we can't port yet.

A regular port from one rom to another with a CM base is mostly replacing a bunch of files with the ones you which to port while keeping the specific libs and files for your particular device, so besides the kernel, you need to make a compatible base if there is not one, then the proprietary blobs and editting files to fix issues. Porting can be very easy or very hard depending what you want to port.
who wants a kernel?
I've posted a kernel built from the cm10 lge-kernel-star repo in the dev thread, maybe somebody feels like taking it for a spin.
was wonder why the mixed results on the p990 CM 10 by RC then it hit me they have like 14 basebands. Things should be better for us we only have 2.

In theory, I believe that a main issue for our guys did have to do with the absence of lge_star_ril being not present in the sources. That then caused the data, Gps, and battery issues.

Which is the problem for the G2x when it comes to Wifi Calling for example...the Kinecto .ko is a GB module at best. Same goes for the Tegra HDMI blob(whch I monkeyed around a very LONG time with);thankfully the P990 has the same HDMI blob. We will never have as good of a port as the P990 because at least the P990 has a ICS leak so kangers for P990 can use modules that work better in ICS leak in CM while all we have to build on is GB blobs and libs.

Is the lge_star_ril something LG was supposed to have included? From my (limited) kernel knowledge, that bit seems pretty vital to having a properly working phone.
Without it, how hard is it going to be to get working calls/data/gps without having serious battery and quality issues as you've alluded to?
It was missing from the old sources, and yea, like I said alot of the deal-breaking issues were due to that, the ICS (which I think was already hacked) was hacked into JB.

The kernel is the issue!
JBoxer and I have been working on some of these issues with a little progress, but we're not there yet.
MIUI can be ported from O2X to G2X because MIUI uses the CyanogenMod kernel, and there is a CyanogenMod kernel for the G2X, and thus it can just be swapped out. It is definitely possible to convert MIUI Roms to G2X this way.
However, O2X "official" builds require an equivalent kernel for the G2X. Currently we only have ONE 2.3.4 kernel that works on the G2X, and that's from the "leaked" LG-L95G build.
In theory, we can use THAT kernel on any of the O2X 2.3.4 versions to get them working on the G2X. However, it hasn't been done successfully yet. We're missing something, but the problem is being worked on.
Found this thread about editing lib files , not sure if developers have come across it or not, but could be a way to get real3d framework onto cyanogen mod roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374345
there is cyanogen mod for 03D
He means to port the real3d framework into cyanogen. Dont know if it will work though because im a noob.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Yeh, I meant actually getting the 3d bits from original roms which are proprietary and using them in roms such as cyanogen mod type roms (or vanilla, or unofficial ics roms)
I doubt this will be used by the cyanogen team, but if a Dev picks this up, manages to port the 3d libs into CM7, this will be the all time dominating ROM for this phone. Period.
yeh im hoping an "anonymous" dev with a bit of free time comes across this and ports the damn thing already lol. this will open huge possibilities for more ports from other phone \ roms which are far better ,without loosing the main factor for buying this phone. But chance of this happening is slim

I just bought an Atrix 2 today for my girlfriend. Hi Atrix people
So could someone introduce me?
My phone is the photon and I love it! One thing I've noticed from browsing this thread is that there isn't much ics support going on. Could someone tell me why? I thought the only real differences between the Atrix and Atrix 2 is the cam and a few minor features.
Anyways I'm really just interested in what's going on with ics for the Atrix 2. Anything I should know or be up to date on for cm9 or anything ics?

Unfortunately we don't yet have an unlocked bootloader, which is holding up development. There are a couple of devs working on a bootloader bypass from what I've read. So as soon as they have it ready and working then I think development will start kicking. I think there are a couple of devs working on an ics port as well.(fingers crossed!)
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
Thanks for the quick reply. Has anyone tried communicating with other Motorola devs? Like from the photon, razr, current moto androids. With the photon I know that its bootloader was unlocked redneck style just to get the roms rolling. We had to sacrifice 4G (wimax) data but it was worth it.
Within a month we had several choices for ics with everything working. And anything gingerbread was perfect. No need for an "issues" section in OP lol

Uh, yeah. We have a few ROMs. There are very few actual issues. A lot of the problems come from people not knowing what they're doing or making simple mistakes (i.e they read something wrong) the phone itself is very solid and stock works great. Just make sure you root it.

I'll be rooting in a few days just sad that ics is almost nonexistent on this phone. The other roms from what I've read seem pretty solid. But the only one that I'm interested in is still barely alpha and from the OP its not stable enough to use as a daily...

Well, CM9 is actually fairly stable minus the radio and sd card functionality (which can be fixed by flashing a zip). And we're just waiting on bl unlock/bypass or a leaked early Moto build of ICS for our A2 so we can get the radio working.
ICS will be around sometime in July-September. We're hoping to get it through cheesecake probably in June or late May.
The CM9 Nightly build you are talking about is VERY shaky.
Most of these GB Roms are very smooth, fast and stable. I'm currently using Lithium and I love it.
Just be patient. It's coming.
We are supposed to get am ota release of ics in q3 of this year. That's not to far down the line.

That might be true... but we got the 2.3.6 update from cheesecake months in advance, so once we have that we should have a stable CM9 build.

Leaked? Of course not. We just pull it straight off their development servers .
Calling/sms/data do not work in CM9 for the A2 because we need a functional ICS radio which we don't have atm. Once Moto starts pushing early builds to their servers we should be able to pull the necessary radio files and get a stable(ish) CM9!

Exactly. We don't need help from Motorola. It would just make things easier. I miss the devs from the first Atrix. Geniuses when it came to porting ics to that phone and when I talked to some of them they told me this phone should be a breeze compared to the Atrix and photon considering the tegra CPU/gpu. Which at the time before the Xoom got ics they had nothing to go off of and pretty much completely redesigned the basic arm7 chipset to trick the phones into thinking that's what it had inside

The SD card problem can be fixed (through a flashable zip). This is because other phones such as the Droid X have really common radios which developers have already written ICS drivers for. The Atrix 2 has a completely different radio that really doesn't have any similarities with any other Motorola. We only have a couple of actual devs really familiar with linux/android. We're lucky enough to have the Droid 3 build work as well as it does... Just wait. Only a couple more months

We don't need to wait. Other devices have done it without help from other devices and even when done so it may pull from several other devices instead of just one. Also can someone explain to how joker was able to build a cm9 build for the Atrix 4G with only cyanogenmod sources and some Google parts? Do we not have anyone on this device knowledgeable enough of Linux or cyanogen to build from source instead of from the Droid 3 or use some of droids cm9 and build the rest from source? Ics drivers have been optimized for the CPU and we don't need a ics radio or ics radio drivers for ics. The Atrix and photon still use stock gingerbread radio and radio drivers for its build with minor ics tweaks to get them running. 90% of ics builds still use gingerbread radio source with no problem. The other 10% are devices with ics leaks or releases.
Btw can someone please send me the work that's been done so far on cm9 or do I need to get it from the Droid 3 forum? Has anything been done other than changing branding to get it working or was it just "oh its cdma guess we'll wait"?

I personally have not done anything with CM9 due to the radio driver issue. Cogeary may have done somework on it. Try PM'ing him.
Thanks to the encouragement of blindndumb, I've decided to personally make a cm10 rom too. This CM10 Rom also acts as my base for my PA.
So... Yea. As Usual,
Double Thanks for cnote74 for making the kernel too for me as my computer is the most old fashion one :-/
And also 0.0 for teaching me how to port
And also blindndumb for the camera patch
And also ...Awesome... for the amazing AwesomeBeatsv3
And also hdorius for supporting me all the way till now
And also ParanoidAndroid For even making this rom possible
(YES I LOVE THE 2 WORDS AND ALSO )
Flashing Instructions ( Very Important -> You must be on cm10 )
1. Make Sure You're On The Latest CWM Or 4EXT Recovery
2. Make A Backup
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
4. Flash ROM ×Still requesting permission before uploading×
5. Flash Gapps ×http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip×
6. Reboot and Enjoy
When will it be released?
It will be released as soon as i get the permissions from other dev and at the same time thanking blindndumb,hdorius and cnote74 for helping me through this difficult times and making it a big success

Stop me if i am wrong... But if you compiled CM10 from source then why do you have to wait for permission???? What CM10 rom are you using as a base then??? Jellytime is the only one i know of to boot and run with CM10, and we all know you will not get permission from Random
Guys,
I have already requested a mod take a look at this. I find it weird that his computer cannot compile a kernel but it can compile a rom. Even on my custom built with a 6 core AMD Phenom with 16 GB of RAM it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to compile from source. That would require at least 2 days time on his machine with a melted core. We will see if this is legit. Let the mods take care of this

Let me take a peek at this. He thanked people for compliling the kernel and then thanked multiple other people... so he took a bunch of other peoples work and crunched them into one... something seems alittle fishy is all I say. And yes its pretty clean on my part that he doesn't seem to know what he's doing. (Don't get me wrong I'm no where near being a dev but it just seems like he's trying to make himself popular for making one) idk.That's my input so ill just see where this goes. Goodluck

This something i had stumbled on accident trying to dual boot my LG G2x (p999) using the LG Optimus 2x (P990) Dual Boot tutorial.
If done correctly, your your LG G2x will be model P990 instead of P999. you will be using Optimus 2x Roms instead of G2x Roms. Everything Should you need will be on this besides the 2 roms you want to dual boot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856090
Well... Thanks for sharing but...
The Baseband and RIL still working with the G2X??
I doubt so. I have the dual boot for the G2X it works well but even if you use the p990 files the baseban and ril would have to be for the g2x, and i doubt thing will work out. It is better to port the roms instead.
I am looking for a straightforward explanation of the file systems for the P990 and the P999 especially a comparison and, better, a utility/script that would enable selecting the one to be used to format memory. I am also looking for information about how to port between the P990 to and from the P999. Do you have it or know where any of that information is located?

In theory, If you were using the current March 2012 baseband (v21y), couldn't you just flash OWAIN's NewBaseband.zip, and then run GetRIL to make sure the RIL is updated to the baseband?
That should get you a working phone (in p990 mode).

Maybe I was not clear on my post. The devices are most similar. The differences are on the radio (baseband, irl, etc), partition scheme, and the p990 has fm radio while the p999 does not. They are made for different carries so while you may be able to use those files, what they are intended to do is to change the partition scheme to allow two roms to fit, and then use some scripts to switch roms using the boot.imgs you provide and changing system, data, and other files like that to a different name so each rom has independent files, they are all store on data.
So the problem is that your radio stays the same, so by flashing the wrong baseband/radio you will just brick your phone. It can be recovered on these particular devices using nvflash but overall it should not work as just changing every entry from p999 to p990. That can be done when building the rom, just change the assertion script or turn it off and you can flash anything on the partitions given that they are the right size, it will still not work tho.

No, when such thing comes out it will be ported, no need to change the partition scheme or anything.

Not necessarily true! No O2X OFFICIAL Rom has ever been ported successfully to the G2X. CM7/CM9/MIUI yes, because we have source. Factory/Official ROMs? Never 100% successfully.
I had a GB O2X Rom running on my G2X once before, but I forget what I had to do to make it happen. DId nothing with KDZ's, I modded the kernel somehow. But, as others discovered, it wasn't possible to get the radio working. Curious if Owain's fix would work as a port as suggested previously in this thread.
Would be nice to have a native O2X Rom to run... I think 9/10ths of the "crazy bat**** stupid" problems the G2X has are due to the fact that LG basically stripped out LG Framework to make it appear AOSP without actually being AOSP. The problem is, they didn't strip out all of the LG Framework, only the parts that you see. So the G2X has a lot of unused and half-connected code on stock Roms.
And, as others said, it could be very useful for ICS...
But as I've said... Several of us have had O2X roms ported. The hitch has always been lack of cellular radio.

I doubt so. I have the dual boot for the G2X it works well but even if you use the p990 files the baseban and ril would have to be for the g2x, and i doubt thing will work out. It is better to port the roms instead.

Is there a thread for G2X dual boot? This is the first I've heard of it, I'd hate to have to try to rewrite the O2X scripts myself, but dual boot sounds very nice.

I am looking for a straightforward explanation of the file systems for the P990 and the P999 especially a comparison and, better, a utility/script that would enable selecting the one to be used to format memory. I am also looking for information about how to port between the P990 to and from the P999. Do you have it or know where any of that information is located?

I hate to say it but probably the best explanation would be the compile scripts for source. From the limited research I've done(kanging the CM10 blind builds), once you build the P990/SU990 source with the P999 script, you pretty much "fill in the blanks/diff" by using a full P999 rom aka CM10 kang (somewhere I remember seeing a list of what the source doesn't include). I know someone ran df or fdisk or something of that nature on a SU990 and posted the results with the ICS rom so the differences are sorta documented....Or you could ask wkpark.I might myself as I speak and write his native language!

Please ask.
Yes, you can easily dual boot ROMs with the G2X, I do it with Temaesk and my stock ROM. Very convenient. Search through the thread and there should be someone who posted the proper partitions for our phone for use with NVFlash.
If you don't know what you're doing, or are new to this stuff and don't know what the word "troubleshooting" means, then stay away from it as most of the help is for the O2X and I've semi-bricked/bootlooped my phone before I got the complete feel for dual booting it correctly and how to update kernels for it and such.

Isn't the partition setup in the .cfg file used with NVFlash?
I just want to simply know if it's it possible to flash any O2x rom on the G2x? I don't care if the radio isn't working, I already use my Galaxy Nexus for calling/texting etc. I just want to get a touch of ICS/Other O2x roms.

Answering your question the answer is not. If you don't care about the radio then use the dualboot method or just properly change the partition scheme and flash your rom and let us know what happens. Since it doesnt seem to be your main phone you wont miss anything if it bricks. As far as I know our phone is "unbrickable".

I posted on daum(my name roughly translates to 'angry at butt') but I think wkpark thinks i'm some sort of script kiddie or something due to the name...hah.
I had no luck installing an O2x rom on my G2x. The nvflash part worked, but the installation part was too confusing for me so I probably did something wrong. I'm wondering if anyone actually managed to install an O2x rom on the G2x successfully.

No, not directly.

Hello I hope someone reads this.
I have accidentally partitioned my P999 with the P990 all in one tool. It only takes now p990 roms, but no baseband. It is working quite nicely, but is has no mobile service. How can I repartition my internal sd to be p999 again?

Use either ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Search development threads.
