Gingerbread for optimus 2x was released in uk?

http://www.androidblog.it/site/2011/07/lg-optimus-2x-si-aggiorna-ufficialmente-a-gingerbread-2-3-3/
It is said to have been released for gingerbread for optimus 2x in uk, someone confirm?
English people, write your imei in the 000 here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/...000000000000&model=LGP990&country=NL&region=E
and posted the result.

My Dutch O2x IMEI actually still points me to a 20110226 rom release, amazingly! I bought it from a store directly without any contract. No sign of any updates here.

If you will follow sources of this post it will lead you to site talking about G2x.

Out of interest - if there was an update and i did the update, would the update go through seeing as though i have a rooted device? (completely stock ROM)

dude, remove your imei from your post!

there is no clue about when official gingerbread will be relaesed.there is no official explanation at internet . thanks slacker LG employees

tested, the version available in uk, is the 10D two months ago, has not even been updated to the current 10c, or not yet or anything mkv

iam from NL
this is what iam getting
still 10c

You can stop, there is no update! The site meant the G2x, thats the phone that got gingerbread. Its almost the same as the leaked one for the g2x, meaning it dont have mkv and such, and it's only 2.3.3...

Why don't LG just stop messing around
Remove all of the LG bloat from the O2x, Give it Vanilla Android like the G2x and give us the Update
What's the betting most of the hold up is them customising it with all of the rubbush most people remove again after rooting the handset

I don't believe so.
There are still some real bugs for LG to sort out in the hardware interface. That is obvious from the leaked gingerbread for O2X that is now available from Paul O'Brien at Modaco. I am running that ROM right now and can say that Paul has done a great job to get it to a stage where we can use it as our everyday ROM, and a fast one at that. Some minor bugs remain that he can't fix just yet. For example, zooming while video recording with the camera will result in a FC or reboot. Apart from this, all other major functionality is working. Most impressive is its speed and stability which is absolutely rock solid.
If you are impatient for official gingerbread to arrive, why not give Paul's GR1 ROM a try. He has just put up a free pre-bake here.

try pauls GB
been running for a few days now its nice a pre bake also out now battery life as good as b4 but reporting is out mkv play fine also

New to Optimus x2, Some questions

Hello!
I have just bought my new LG Optimus 2x, and I have some quesitons.
With this phone i have shifted from symbian to android and i have some questions.
Firtsly, (not sure if this is legal to discuss here) do cracked apps exist? Is there something like jailbreaking on iOS?
Secondly, I have seen a lot of talk about rooting. What does rooting actually do?
Thirdly, I have checked the CM7 topic but it is just so big, and the last opdate on the first post is very outdated. Can you explain where to find the newest updates for 2.3 version of CM7 and how to mod my ROM?
And lastly, which launcher do you suggest to replace the stock LG one.
Thanks!

Rooting is jailbreak equivalent, getting "root" admin access.
Apps, well you just search for .apk files on the usual sites, filestube etc.
Cm7 I don't think is the best option at the moment, but I'll let someone else cover that.
Goodluck with your new phone.

Rooting gives you access to admin account so no need to jailbreak something lol, more simple.
Same for apps, Market is full if apps and most if the time you have free ones that will suit your needs.
At the moment you have to choose between CM7 and the leaked GB (like the one I run).
CM7 is still in RC stage but is usable clearly in daily use, leaked GB roms have still some bugs but very active dev are working in it and performance is great !
Not very hard and long to go from one to another BTW... Help yourself and hop in the train!

For speed and clean android-software I would recomend CM7 (android 2.3.7). If you would like LG Software built on android, like stock, there is some leaked customized Roms to install (android 2.3.4)
CM7(CyanogenMod7) : http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
You'll know how to navigate to download of CM7 for Optimus2x when you click on link
As for how to root and flash (install) it, you'll find the answere in the forum if you just search a little.
good luck with your new phone, and welcome to Android comunity

I am running cm7 after being on miui for months and I really cannot fault it so much faster!

Hi!
Thanks for your replies.
leaked GB

I am guessing that means the same as SimDroid said "stock LG"
So, what advantage does stock LG firmware have? If its 2.3.4 it's older. Is it better optimised for optimus 2x?
I have checked the developer subforum for 2x but haven't been able to find any usefull information on the leaked roms.
Could you help me with that?
Cheers!

The gingerbread rom we're all using at the moment is the 2.3.4 gingerbread rom, but there are multiple variations and community edits of it.
I'm guessing your phone is on 2.2.2 at the moment, which is a pretty horrible release.
Anyway go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002 and pick one. I'm currently using Topogigi 1.9 which is the fastest ROM i've tried, no errors that I know of, fast boot time too.
You need to flash baseband and kernel also, see:
Baseband

And http://adf.ly/2SKAm for the rom to flash.

The advantage of stock = leak GB is that every feature of the phone is working. With Topogigi ROM you have many bugs that have been corrected, and a custom kernel with many tweaks in the system that makes this MOD extremley fast, and very good. The remodded 2.3.4 GB firmware are very different from the original leak.
On the contrary, as it is a leak version, there isn't any official source available, so it's often hard for dev to fix things. And it's not opensource.
CM7 is opensource at 100%, based on Google android sources plus all the dev work. Recently a big improvement was made as Aramcee (the dev leader of O2X CM7 branch) managed to make A2DP work, so now you can have Bluetooth headsets working in CM7, which was not possible before.
Still no Radio FM app in CM7 as radio stack sources are not available, and HDMI mirroring works only at 720p and not 1080. The differences between 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 are not major,in Android versioning the third number means minor improvements most of the time not noticable by user.
Both enable overclocking/undervolting if that's interest you. They are both very smooth and snappy. In CM7 there is a very good support for HID (keyboard, mouses and so on) via Bluetooth. Not in stock GB (no sources).
CM7 was a bit instable those past few days but it should be corrected. Every night you have a new build, but you don't need to reflash every day as there are not at each time new things for Optimus 2X. Upggrading is trivial as it doesn't wipe your data, takes a couple of minutes.
For custom stock ROM, updates are more irregular, but very frequent too.
So no real objective differences between those two families of ROM. If you need HDMI and FM Radio you have no choice.

Okay,
Thanks a lot for your answers and your time!
One last thing:
Lg launcher
Launcher pro
ADW.launcher
slidescreen
go launcher EX
Which one?

That's like asking "Red, Green, Blue, Orange, White. Which should I choose?"
Try them out and see which one you like the best. Personally I'm partial to Launcher Pro.

I like launcher pro but it's rather limited in free form

Personally I like ADW. Its more customizable than other launchers. You can also try ADW Launcher Ex. Its a paid version but worth it.

I would go for Go Launcher or Launcher pro. Both fast. ADW for me has been known to be laggy at my end.

What about reading the different threads in dev section? There is one about rooting.

Hi, i am also new to the LG-P990, i got 2.3.4 out the box and my LGE Version is V20d. Is that the latest? Used the LGMobile tool and that says something about Mobile phone not being supported??

If you want to check the newest version for your phone, use this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOUR_IMEI_HERE
But replace YOUR_IMEI_HERE with (funnily enough) your phone's IMEI.

I started to learn how to root and flash new room with reading some guides around , you can find some in The developments section , the first think to know is how to root, how to install clockwork recovery and use it and finally how to flash new room ,personally i choose the cyanogenmod7 for the battery and the stability of this rom.

GPS troubles with Optimus 2x MIUI ROM
Newbie here and I feel like I am the only one that is having GPS problems here. I rooted my phone due to Wind mobile being extra slow with the updates for my phone and I cannot seem to get the GPS to work. Please help as it does not lock on. I checked the GPS config and see that it is set up for T-Mobile but I don't know which one I should use for my provider as the original Froyo did not have this option.
I also have troubles trying other ROMS as MIUI have seemed to lock me into theirs. Error when I try to load another ROM several times.

I'm also a newbie to the O2x,
I rooted and flashed cm7 then "[ROM] Rebuild of Leaked V20o Gingerbread Update" really easy!
come on guys read the threads in android development!

I am also newbie on O2X and quite new on mods and stuff.. my previous phone and my entry to the smartphones was a samsung galaxy mini..
I have Flash CM7.0.1 stable (following some guides here) but the phone is not so stable... many times i check on it and i realize that it has closed..and cause i did flashed it on the second day of the purchase i cant figure out if its software problem or hardware... ill try some other roms soon..

Yeah, CM7.0.1 is pretty old now, and I think you should try a CM 7.2 KANG. Those are very stable too. If you wish you can always add some custom kernels too to increase the performance.

There are so many 2.3.4 official LG 2x rom on the internet, all start with "V20..".
Generally speaking, the letter at the end means the location.
v20d is one of Asian LG official 2.3.4 rom distribute in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I only know that the latest version now in Hong Kong is v20e.
I am sure you will google a list of LG 2x official rom if you want to.

Yeah. I agree with you. However, only one problem I have found that is photo taken by CM rom is not as good as official LG.
That's why I am now still using official "modified" v20e (Hong Kong) rom with the latest Hourse Power Kernel.

Just bought o2x.
I got home i root install miui.
Im a lg user thats why its so easy. Hehehe
Read the roll up sticky thread at dev sections. Its so easy.

[Q] Some doubts and problems

Well i bought this phone last week and i have to say that its very easy to handle and fast, but i didnt updated my firmware yet(im on 2.2.2) .
My doubt is if there are best stock fw available or is it better to wait for the ICS. :\
Other thing, lately im having some problems with receiving calls, like my friends tell me that they have called me but i didnt receive any call or notice
If anyone knows how to help me please reply, because i really like this phone and dont want to change it.
Thanks,

You're still on the software the phone had out of the box? This is why you are having these problems. If you wish a more hassle free experience updating go for the gingerbread update through the LG software. If you are prepared to do a LOT, I repeat a LOT of reading, flash a CM7 release and then a CM10 one. Then you will have Android 4.1.2

I think that the available LG update is, well, honest. I would use it waiting for CM10 to mature a bit, I would not waste time on CM7/9 stuff even if CM7 has some really good variations (as stock itself by the way)

I would recommend flashing the new ics leak v28g, I'm using it as a daily driver and it's just gorgeous. But you'll have to read into some threads though if you decide to.

I was thinking on updating my terminal to official ICS from LG, do you think its a nice thing or its better to choose other things?

The thing is that there is no "official" ICS yet... What we have is the current development version, which has not yet been released. If you read the corresponding threads, you will see very mixed reviews from different people -- some are reporting bugs, and some are very happy with the way it works. For me personally, the V28g works perfectly, and I am currently using it as my daily ROM. You can give it a try, if you'd like.
However, if you prefer to stick with GB for now (until the ICS is officially released), there are some excellent stock-based varieties available here on XDA. You can choose between the latest versions from Flix123, Carburano (Django Manouche ROM), or Stefan Gundhor (Gueste "Goodbye" ROM), to name a few. All of them are very good and stable ROMs based on V20s, with a bunch of nice customizations and tweaks compared to the plain stock.

Again, for battery life, stability, and performance, I wouldn't put anything else on a P970/OB higher than Gingerbread (Marvel 9).
ICS (4.0) was factory on the P970, and it was buggy and unstable. I did enjoy ICS on the OB, when it was working; I reverted back to GB on the OB and never looked back.
There are JellyBean (4.1) and KitKat (4.4) ROMs for the OB (Nameless, among others); expect more charging time and features/functions that don't work.
I appreciate what the developers are doing with the P970, and many users enjoy "bleeding edge" updates. But at the end of the day, I value stability over everything else; the P970 with GB "works".
