I just got a sod while my phone was charging, to fix this I have it checked to stay awake while its charging, but it still had a sod. This is the first time its ever happened with stay awake enabled, and my phone will not go a night without a sod without stay awake checked, but now it seems that even that doesn't work. Is there any other thing/way to fix this?

It has happened to me once in a very blue moon. Usually if the phone overheats.

Stock cm7 kernel, build 11/18. It hasn't happened since. But now all I get is dropped signals anymore. And I can't use any different kernel without running into overheating, insane battery drain, and random reboots.

Well, maybe she's burned out from flashing,
If it was my phone, I'd flash completely back to stock. Make sure you use correct nandroid for your baseband. That brings another question, are you 21e or 21y? 21y fixed alot of issues with battery etc.
Anyways, go completely stock, than start fresh with nvflash recovery. I'd flash CWM 5.0.2.8. DONT use touch recovery.
Than start flashing your setup. Make sure you wipe everything with recovery. Wipe system for sure.
Choose one kernel, flash it as well. Than see how she runs.

Everytime i have tried flashing a CM7 based rom, and i've tried almost all of them, once the screen goes to sleep it won't wake up. i think that's called sleep of death (SOD), pardon my n00bness if i'm wrong. the odd thing is that when i press the wake button, the phone and even the digitizer wake up because i can hear/feel the phone unlocking when i make the sliding motion on the screen, but the screen itself will not wake up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? or better yet any ways of preventing/fixing this?

Did u wipe ur data and format system before flashing? Try to fix permission too. Only guessing but maybe the battery is bad, as far as I know u not getting new one with replacement, so if u had same issue on stock rom that could be a problem.

I did wipe data, format system and even fix permissions and still same problem occurs, I don't think it has to do with the battery tho because stock OTA based roms don't have this issue...it must be something particular about the CM7 base
Also, could it be the fact that i have the WIND mobile optimus 2x? it says p999-DW on the back though
use miui it doesnt have the SOD problem cm7 did it the last time i had it (3 days ago)

i never had a data wipe issue on the old cmw. this is the first ive heard of it.
The first time I booted into CWM after installing imnuts Infinity 1204, I had a data wipe, but since then I've had no issues at all. No big deal for me. I'm used to things not going so well, so I'm prepared for that kind of thing. Will try 5.xx when I get back from Florida.
No more CWR issues
I had a problem with the backup restore feature the first time I tried using it in CWR5. Since then I have tested it and been able to go back and forth with backups of humble, gummy, and Infinity and have had no issues, the restore is exactly as it should be.

Have you done any mods since, meaning no other flashes of other ics Roms after or in between. My problems all started after i flashed the cwm nandroid backup in another thread. The issues followed me until i did a darkside wipe then did the odin one click and all my issues went away. Im staying here for a while. Did my nandroid backup of this to always revert to.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
This is one of the known problems that sometimes occurs with the ICS leak and most things based on it. The problem is people that think they have the "know all" answer for a fix because something they did worked for them. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for averyone! So it's ok to say "well, this is what worked for me...", but it IS NOT ok to tell others that it is an overall fix or that they did something wrong because it didn't work for them like it did you.
What I have found is that everytime you flash the ICS leak (or related) you might get different results, so if you really are interested in trying to get everything working, just keep flashing until it does. It might take several tries, but keep trying. This seems to be the case for many people, but I cannot promise it will work for you.
I experienced similar results, first flash was lagged to insanity. however second flash fixed this and restored the home button funtion.
The only other thing i did after the first flash was a factory reset, which in my case fixed the home button issue. Not sure if it was freezing prior to that. I may try the cache thing but its not a burdensome enough issue to reflash again. too many workarounds to redo everything again..
Didn't realize this was so common when i posted this thread..thought it was random. Now if only someone could delete it...

Same here, though I haven't tried them all, I just went back to stock, manual debloat and a couple other mods and it's good enough for me, at least until we get real CM9 or AOSP roms.
I'm really not the type to wipe my phone and flash a new ROM twice a week. I'd rather just have something that's stable and functional, and only upgrade for big stuff.
I didnt have the shutdown problem the first time I installed the original ics leak install.
But I did after I restored a backup of it.

I seem to be getting inferior battery life on CM7 compared to VB w/ AntonX's kernel, with about the same amount of usage. Anyone else notice this? I'm guessing this is mainly down to the reversion to a stock kernel. Are there any tips for battery life specific to CM7 and besides the usual ones (e.g., battery apps, screen brightness, turning off mobile networks)?

CM7 will be worse on battery until they get all the kinks worked out. You might still see less battery over a custom modified stock rom.

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Naw, not babble... I call it thinking with the keyboard still in gear. I will try the touch CWM idea, and keep plugging away. There IS a fix, I just haven't tripped over it yet. Thanks again!
I will post an update when I have some more data to spew.

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!
Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850
Success!
Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:
