O2X noob needs help. :) - LG Optimus 2x

Just got myself an O2X. I know that it is not the best dual core phone, but this is all I could get in India for my budget. It's a great phone except for the lack of RAM.
My questions are :
1. Is the CM7.1 fully functional?
2. Does anyone face SODs(Sleep Of Death), i.e. sometimes when my phone is in sleep mode.. it sometimes does not wake up!! I have to take the battery out to switch it on!! But that happens only once in a while.. I'd appreciate any kind of help!!!
3. How much space do we have for storing apps and data? i.e. How much space does the /data have?
4. What are the best tweaks/ways to conserve battery?
Thank You..!

1. FM Radio is missing
2. Some do, some don't
3. 1.5GB on /data
4. Use the phone less

@Rusty thanks.. but how do I fix the SODs?? Will flashing CM7 help? ..or should I get my phone replaced??

Unknown, I don't seem to don't suffer with them.
But there is an effort going on with some kernel stuff to sort it for CM.

Does anyone know the cause? :/
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

Someone please suggest what I should do to get rid of SODs!! I am very disappointed I spent 24K Rupees for this phone which is defective!! :'(

Unlikely a new rom will help (I flashed FR19 but still had the same issue).
Best thing is take it back for an exchange. Some handsets suffer some don't.
Hope you get an handset that doesn't once exchanged as people without the BSOD (sadly I'm not one of them and mine is being 'repaired' at the moment) say it's a great phone and they're more than happy with it.

Have never had screen of death. Used the phone for about 20 minutes before going custom rom and kernel so I can't say if it's hardware related or not.

I just hope it is a software issue.
And.. when I go to get it replaced.. how am I supposed to reproduce it??!!!? It happens very randomly!!!
Can someone who suffers from the same issue throw light in this regard?! Please!
I am freaking out!! :'(

I seem to be one of the few who had a device like that, which healed. It used to spontaneously reboot, die while charging, all the usual stuff.
I can in no way promise this will fix it for you, but you should at least try to run an update via the LG Mobile Update tool (not an OTA update, not Smartflash.) If you're already updated, flash an older baseband, and run the (LG Mobile) update procedure again.
All I can say is that after I did that, the phone has been rock solid, running exactly the same firmware as before the update.
I repeat, this could very well be, and probably is, a coincidence, but as long as you have 30 minutes to spare, it cannot hurt.
Good luck.

Thank you so very much for showing me some hope!!!
I CAN SPARE A WHOLE DAY TO GET MY PHONE FIXED!!!
I will update to Gingerbread.. if the update is available.. or whatever new update is available..!!
I pray to God that my O2X gets healed!!
The update won't erase my data, right?
I just saw on the bill that goods once sold will not be taken back or replaced!! So.. If I were to get a replacement I'd have to use my warranty!!

One more Q.. which version of CM7 is fully functional and stable..?

Gingerbread isn't available yet, but that's beside the point, after you've done the update you can install any rom you like.
The update WILL erase your data, including the internal SD-card. Backup first.

Far from it, you're free to do whatever you like. If you want to see if there is a magic fix in the LG update tool, you'll update the official ROM using that first, and install your rom of choice later.

You should probably read the last 4-5 pages of the forum, that'll give you a good impression of how CM7.1 has been recieved.
Prerequisite is a rooted phone, which you can do with Superoneclick. There are many paths from there, but the easiest is to download ROM Manager, from there install ClockworkMod, download CM7.1 to your sdcard, boot into ClockworkMod and install CM7.1.
There are a ton of threads with information, how-tos and FAQs, search and you will find.
Good luck.

I'd recommending getting rid of bloatware first before trying other ROMs as it us the least intrusive way if I may describe it as such.
Install Android Assistant and find which apps are running in the background that you don't need at all. I found that must LG bloatware is useless and persistently running in the background. freeze things like Car Home, antivirus, LG email, sns and unwanted widgets.
Car Home used to be a major problem if I remember correct.
root your phone using super one click and install systemapk manager and use it toFreeze the unwanted apps and widgets.
I found that doing this improved battery life and stability.
If it doesn't work you can easily reverse by unfreezing and even unroot with super one click.
I'd recommend trying this to see if it makes your phone more usable.

oh and go to the LG Service centre and tell them about it....tell them it happens..or just write them a mail..ur warranty will not be nullified...if **** happens, we always have consumer forums..

Me and my Mum have to same phone, same store, same month. Both have different issues.
With 7.1 i can't make phonecalls longer than a minute or so or the phone give BSOD, my mum's works fine but the sound is horrid. Same software. Might try new BB&RIL, but every phone seems to be a lil bit different

Thanks, bro!
So.. I should just go to the LG Service Center with the whole box and ask for a replacement, huh?
And what do I do if they deny replacement or say that I'll have to use my warranty? :-\
Oh... one more thing. How long will the replacement process take? Will I have to stay without a phone for weeks??! :-\ :-(
Also.. they will give me a sealed pack as a replacement, right?
Sorry for all the questions. But do answer 'em patiently.
I am just curious and excited to get a phone that actually works well! :-\ :-(

install apk from market called "defy 2ndinit" open app and install the bootmenu, it will pull files from the net to install.
there will be a blue led on at all times aswell even when phone is booted normally
power off phone
plug charger in
you will see distorted bootmenu
hope someone can fix the distortion
edit: you can uninstall using the app with no side effects

If you didn't know it may brick your phone, you probably had no business trying it in the first place. Btw, OP really doesn't help us get any closer to bringing over ROMs. This is a defy app and hasn't been reworked for the Atrix yet. It is probably something edgan needs to incorporate, but I would stay away from this.

This is the "development" forum. This is not stable code. Try re-flashing an SBF file.
when you say you tested it, you say waht MAY happen also, i reflashed the sbf service file, but man, you dont really know how to post stuff, you always says it can be harmfull, if you dont, that means it works a 100%, but thats ok, nothing i dont fixed with 20 minutes
ps:by the way it may not work on retail(and maybe on all) brazillian system
it enters in the second init, but system do not allow to boot the official because of it, to get this being used we need to have a custom ROM able to boot using it
edit:
henrys01 do you already saw one single forum "stable rom"? ROMs, recoveries and all that kind of thing are always in development, even stable!
stevendeb25 sorry for that, rage attack =( it dont worked, i already explained why
LordOfTheSnatch i came for this since the first ROM to motorola dext, if i did that, i know the harms, but yeah, lets stay out of this while doesnt have one made or ported for atrix
dont get me wrong, but im pissed now, one of the things is because it doesnt worked, sorry for anything

Everyone who knows what they are doing knows it can brick your phone, especially when it isn't made for your phone. The other people just get what's coming to them for doing stuff they don't understand without researching first.
First rule of flashing.... IT MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. Even if it is stable.

Rooting LG Thrill with ICS (or return it to original 2.2 OS)
I "upgraded" to 4.0.4 a few months ago and my LG Thrill is no longer rooted. There are some apps that I ran on occasion (backups and wireless tethering) that I can no longer run. Because of some of the features of the newer OS, I've learned to live without the root. But, I can't stand the battery usage (more than double what it was before and that is with a brand new battery compared to before with a 2yr old battery).
I have tried more the 2 dozen times to download various free and paid programs to root this phone. Even the one on this site (bin4ary) doesn't work on the LG Thrill. I would gladly contribute or pay anyone who can tell me how to root this phone. Otherwise, I need to find the update-thrill-stock-rom-rooted.zip program (which I can't find either) to return it to the original stage.
PLEASE!!!!
Go to the LG optimus 3D forum and look for osbalts(can't remember the name) method! Its what I used to root mine!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-G730A downgrade to older android firmware? 2.2

i have a s3 mini phone that has a very new model (g730a) that looks like nobody else on the internet has. there are no threads on this entire forum about this model number, and i am trying to downgrade the stock firmware, 4.2.2, to a very old firmware, 2.2 (froyo), is there any way of doing this? (this phone was bought from an at&t store) how do people even downgrade? where do they get their downloads from?
if there is "no way" of me doing this easily by downloading something, how can i do it myself?
really need some help with this, thanks!

why would you want to downgrade?
i just think froyo looks cool, and i see it still functions with the play store and that. i've heard of cyanogen mod or whatever it's called yet don't know what it is nor how to use it. i am brand new to this android world. was told that this site had everything
Device was not here when froyo was so you will never be able to downgrade. It came with jb, so that's what you will have.

You CAN install any android version that is older that you want, but it isn't created for the device. So somebody would need to develop drivers for it to work on the particular version of android.
Short answer: No you can't do it
Long answer: It can be done but a skilled person would need to develop drivers to make it work.
In this day and age creating drivers to downgrade from 4.1 to 2.2 it's not worth the time it takes.
Factory Unlocking
Has anyone successfully factory unlocked the S3 mini SM-G730 att. Or even paid for an unlock code?

Need TWRP backup of Cricket Stock ROM

I was an idiot when I flashed a custom rom and didn't do a backup first. After the custom rom was flashed and working fine, I discovered that the fm radio was missing. The main reason I bought this phone was it was cheap and had a real fm radio. Would someone please help an idiot out by uploading a stock cricket rom so I can have my fm radio back? Please?
Internet radios aren't suitable for my needs, so this is a big bummer for me.
Thanks
Keith
Bump. Please
Try this. Make sure you have "unknown sources" checked in /settings/developer options.
If you don't have developer options enabled in settings, let me know and I'll tell you how to enable it.
Thanks Huggs. I installed that and it first told me I needed to plug in headphones, which gave me hope. I did, and then the app said there was a problem with the radio hardware, please try again. I have tried several times, even after a reboot, and no joy.

Thank you so much. I'll check back thru the day.
Bump please
Same here, was not in the game of flashing roms for too long, that I just wiped out the whole internal sd card without making any backup... my head just zoned out at that moment i guess...
now i'm sitting on TWRP interface, without knowing how to boot to twrp from power-off state... (i adb rebooted into recovery in the first place, if you were gonna ask me how i got to twrp)...
so hopefully someone posts a nanodroid backup the the original/working cricket stock rom and that'll help me fight on another day
other suggestions are welcome too

There you go Stock cricket.
kalisto2002, is there any chance you could send me your radio.img file? If you send me the HBoot I maybe able to decrypt the RUU and get the radio.img file myself. If you don't have them you can extract them using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...gin-mobile-t2976405/post57795743#post57795743
Thanks!

kalisto2002, I certainly will appreciate that. I am standing by waiting for them. I had 2 HTC 510s... exchanged one for a Samsung Galaxy Avant but I am not one to give up and I think this can be done.

I was an idiot when I flashed a custom rom and didn't do a backup first. After the custom rom was flashed and working fine, I discovered that the fm radio was missing. The main reason I bought this phone was it was cheap and had a real fm radio. Would someone please help an idiot out by uploading a stock cricket rom so I can have my fm radio back? Please?
Internet radios aren't suitable for my needs, so this is a big bummer for me.
Thanks

I don't know if it was me or my kids playing games but
somehow managed to uninstall fm radio from my Sprint desire 510 so if you managed to fix yours, be sure to kindly share a solution.

Can't root VS9803AA Update

Has anyone been able to root the phone after the Verizon VS9803AA update? I have a G2 that was never rooted. The digitizer failed so I replaced it with an OEM LCD+Digitizer and suddenly the phone can only be used when there is bright light. I went ahead and replaced the light sensor, but it doesn't make a difference. I used an application to check the light sensor and it performs just as my G3. My thought is that the problem is software based.
If I manually reboot into recovery, I get the icon of the android with a red exclamation point. Plugging in the USB and holding the volume up does not bring me to download mode, it just displays the battery charge. Did Verizon successfully block the ability to root?
I'm having the same problem with not being able to root I've used IORoot which isn't compatible with lollipop, avicoh one click and . bat which get up to rebooting the phone but ends in an error reading "The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."
so i read about Injecting root in to system image and then pushing image back to phone. But i haven't seen specifics for the LG G2 have you had any success in rooting the phone with the new VS9803AA Update
The phone as the VS9803AA update and I think it is the cause of the proximity sensor problem. I've read some other posts from people that had rooted and took the update. A different situation, but they have a similar problem. In one of those threads I had read about the bootloader version having changed. It is almost as if Verizon killed the ability to do a recovery on the phone. Nice huh?

Nice wouldnt be the adjective but if the bootloader is different is it possible to extract it and build a root with the new bootloader.
I am new to this however i'm a quick study and have rooted devices in the past ( manually ) I'm just not a developer so there has to be some one working on this right?
In the meantime is it possible to flash an older firmware I'm scared to try with out knowing for certain.
I too am trying to root the VS9803AA with IOroot and it says there is not yet an unlock for this version. I am very frustrated.
EDIT: I did discover how to root! I used the tool found here.
Now if I can figure out something to replace FreeGee, which does not work with AA...

I'm sure it was stock, because this is the first time I've ever tried to root and I did check the software version (VS9803AA) and it said, "Official." Now it says, "Modified."
My original goal in doing all of this was to open up the T-Mobile bands so I can have LTE again. Just left Verizon. But the youtube tutorial I was watching asks me to use FreeGee and it just is not compatible with 3AA as far as I can tell.
To root: webtrickz.com/how-to-root-lg-g2-running-lollipop-with-lg-one-click-root/
To flash TWRP: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecvs980
I haven't tried AutoRec yet, but a review says it works for the 3AA.
Hope this helps, let me know!

Hay there,
Use kingroot the easiest way to root lg g2 without any trouble, try it and let me know thanks
I'm in the same boat - got this Verizon LG G2 from my sister fixed the LCD screen because the digitizer had dead spots. Can't root tried every method I could find and Verizon appears to have patched any working exploits. Also have the same oversensitive proximity sensor. Great job Verizon!!!
UPDATE:
I have root finally! Flash the prior software version 39a as I was not able to get anywhere with 39aa. Used Kingroot to obtain root and installed recovery!!! I installed Xposed and adjusted the values for the proximity and light sensors so that is no longer an issue also.

Man u r great. My another problem is resolved. Hotspot is now working. Sometimes a message appears that you cannot use Hotspot as Verizon sim is not detected. But when I switch three or four times on and off, the Hotspot enabled. Huge thanks.
One more question, I want to install custom recovery? Which is suitable for 39A? Thanks in advance. [emoji4] [emoji4]

My stock is too much laggy. I used cyanogen for my S3 and it was working wonderful. I was using lollipop for my S3. That was stable, fast and was packed with features. The LG G2 rom is dead slow. Thanks Suleman for your time and valuable comments.

Im not saying its bad to flash i personally recommend it to you but in stable form ,as it has bugs and in development stage n one more thing if you are camera lover then cynogenmod cam sucks your expectations , stock cam is far way better than this . if you really interested to flash something then go for xdabbes rom which is stock based , search the forum and you will get that,
Good luck
