Nova HD ROM, Quick Question? - LG Optimus 2x

Hey guys, just a quick question

IMO it will be better to wipe first, than install again

Just a quick warning, I went from the RC 19 to the latest one (26?), and it's buggy as hell, the old one was stable and so smooth you barely knew there was no h/w support, this one crashes, a lot.
If you can find an old RC i'd use that for now, It's a very good ROM otherwise!

the latest is 58.. i had it stuck on splash screen. install older one. then re installed. works mint. nice and smooth and fast. install gapps. =D

Hey i have a problem with nova hd 27_ 62 i think.
Every 2 minutes i get notifications and it saids : the proces googlr.proceas.gapps.com or something like that has been stopt. I dont knoe how i get rid of it because in the older versions i didn't had the problem! But when i used 25- 52 or something the problem came!
Thx for every answer!

Download the gapps 20120429 from owains thread and just flash'em with cwm. Should work without any failures after that.
No more bugs found til now. Runs smooth and fast.

This is going to sound very nooby, but I take it there's absolutely no way round the video cam not working without the drivers? with the normal cam working fine i was surprised that the vid doesn't work even slightly.
It's a shame you can't con it with the gb ones or something.

Use videocam illusion, it's a good alternative

Considering getting a Optimus 2x

Hello
I'm considering to upgrade my Motorola Milestone to something faster and more reliable. I sleept over the other day, because of my phone had an error. I really like the specs of the Optimus 2x. But reading some some of the threads, it seems like there are problems with this phone. Did they ever find out if it was a hardware bug, or not. I'm refering to the restart/screen off bug.
And i'm going to use it for mp3 playback and web browsing. Do you think it will be a lot faster than my old Milestone, when browsing on a 2 mbit 3g connection. Also how is the soundquality from the mini jack output.
Thanks
never experienced that reboot issues.. and you can fix it somehow with new baseband and/or with another rom version. since many people report they've fixxed it i think it's fixable. or you dont expirie it at all like me
I also fixed it. Been a while since the last reboot or asking for pin. Just need the right baseband/ROM.

i have been using 02X about 2 weeks..never face any reboot or bsod..mine is version 10b and still using stock rom
I think custom ROMs have more problems than stock, on stock ROM i had no reboot or something like that, now im on cyanogen, and maybe about once per day it get lagged and i need to restart it with battery, but still its not so bad.
i've been using my 2x for 3weeks no reboots on stock or modaco
I too am monitoring this thread. I have a Nokia 5530 but it just isn't enough for me. I want a fast, nice, multitouch superphonewith a large screen that isn't very pricey and can run tons of apps and games. SGS II is also appealing but 600 € is TOO much. 500 € is just bearable.
I have been with my g2x for about a week..never experienced any problems ...seems a great phone ...fast and lite

Had g2x for a week now. Only had bugs using custom roms. Stock 2.2 is fast and stable. Phone is awesome it is the only phone I have ever had that works as fast as me and isn't sluggish.
iPhone which I thought was cool now looks ancient now compared to g2x.

Thank you for your answers, so far.
What do think about the mp3 playback and web browsing?
Yeah that works^^ dude it is sure great but not the best choise for people who just want a out of the box almost perfect phone and without any knowledge in "modding" (you can learn that stuff easy tho If you want)since you should be able to edit some stuff or optimate settings at least to get a smooth working phone with fast gps locks etc. . So after some simple work done its just fun and realy fast just great
Haven't tried the mp3...but since it's the stock media player it should be great...but I watched and receded videos and the speakers are phenomenal...I really recommend this phone..

I've had the 2X for about three weeks now. Having come from a Nexus One. Had maybe one restart from an app crashing. Bar that its been fantastic. Waiting on cyanogenmod to appear.
Browsing is fairly smooth. Vimeo HD can be played in browser without a hitch. MP3 listening is very good. Sounds very natural.
Hope that helped.

I‘ve my O2x already 1month , and it just really great! No hang no freeze .. just some leak screen at top of LCD but its nothing for me .. playin HD game is so smooth , play HD video so spectacular ! With some changing in system like root , oc , n RAM hack , it‘ll be the ultimate phone that you will own ... mp3 running well , and browsing run smooth .. hope will help you to compare
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
If you can, wait till the end of the month and hopefully the software update will be out. Then you will be in a better position to decide. THis is of course assuming that you want the O2X.
I have had this phone for about 2 months now and while I had reboots initially, since the V10d update, I must have had a couple in over a month and a half.
I use Launcher Pro instead of the LG launcher, have rooted the phone and frozen Car Home and F Secure and installed CWM though I haven't changed the ROM (Waiting for the June update from LG)
The only thing I am unhappy with is the unreliability of the USB connection. Sometimes the phone connects to the computer perfectly. At other times it refuses to acknowledge a USB connection.
But if you're in a hurry and can't live with the bugs and uncertainty, then there are other good phones out there as well.
I will say the phone is good. I've had it for a month now and haven't had ANY of the issues reported by some users.
My phone is on stock rom 10b, rooted, clockwork recovery flashed, better camera mod flashed (and OMG it's good!), launcher pro installed, almost every LG app or process freezed since day one.
This phone is fast and awesome, BUT it was just announced that it won't be getting Gingerbread until at least autumn and my guess is that it won't have it at all
So if you can be satisfied with the phone as it is right now and not how it could be with android 2.3 go ahead it's a great device!
Cheers
I'm on cm7 mod and using opera for browsing and it's almost faster than my macbook

Thanks. Just won an auction on almost new LG Optimus 2x. I don't care that much about the 2.3 been delayed. At a point i thought it was the update with the bug fixes, that got postponed to autum.

You're asking in the wrong place mate, go and talk with some LG representatives or in their forums (if they have).
O2X have ICS already, look for CM9 (CyanogenMod9) and try it, is in beta though not everything works and problems are to be expected.
Finally; dude this is NO freaking yahoo answers, twitter or facebook so stop spamming with threads.
2nd quarter 2012 is the only date given so far.

I ve naively installed cyanogen 9 with ics after going in loops and not being able to find simple information on front camera functions and why it is not working with skype.
welllll, let me put it this way
I would not recommend the above mentioned rom to my worst enemy
the half baked thing may be ok for people who are developing these things but for normal users it is just plainly and simply a big heartache , and apart from few different coloured user interfaces there is nothing that a normal user could call useful or good for everyday operation of the phone.
I lost my contacts at least 10 times in the span of 3 weeks that it is installed,
it restarts randomly, just sitting there on the table and next minute you notice silly blue starting animation twirling around,
video camera does not work,
normal camera works but freezes as soon as you try to install some other camera apps,
gallery freezes from time to time,
default music player does not work, I could only play music from es file explorer,
gps apps do not work or work randomly, you can not rely on them if you go somewhere.
hooking to free wi fi hot spots is a nightmare,
and this is just the start of my problems.
I really cried once after the phone just decided not to work out of the blue showing logo screen and not much else.
So, if you want your phone doing most of the normal things, DO NOT install untested half baked software lingering around.
Install them only if you understand inner workings of android system and can fix things that go wrong daily on the fly, because, I guarantee, things go wrong with this ROM when least expected and when you really need your phone.
Im currently trying to understand or for someone to explain to me how to return to gingerbread version because Im at my wits ends with this cg 9
You have to use NVflash to flash the original ROM from LG.
I'm not really familiar with this forum, so I don't know yet where to find the specific instructions, but just searching for "NVFlash" should give you the right results

thanks for info, I had a look into nvflash and one of senior members on these forums have recommended to be very careful when using it so Ill stay clear from that
and as I learn more about android system Im staring to realise that most of this so called development and upgrading is trial and error and should not be performed or used by everyday smart phone users.
Mu mum has lg p500 which has stock gingerbread upgrade on it and the phone is rock solid , not missing a beat for over a year, everything working perfectly .
I bought my phone because of my mums experience but made a huge mistake by thinking that upgrading android system is as easy and simple as you would upgrade a windows system.
Well its not that complicated - but a little bit more work than upgrading windows.
but in the end you can always restore the original system - like windows
Nvflash is not that complicated if you just read all the steps a couple of times. I have done a nvflash a couple of times and has worked fine for me every time.

Incredible S slow with Android 4/ICS

Hi!
I recently updated my IS to the newest Android 4 and god, it's slow. There is lag everywhere, I click on a icon and it takes like a second for screen to appear. The previous version was much smoother.
I disabled the animations and it seems to helped a bit, is there anything else I can do? Or just revert to the older version?
Anybody else experiencing the same problem?
Thanks

Thats a known problem with stock ICS
If you flash a custom rom, generally they are faster
for example I had Ice Cold for a few months, rock solid and super fast
I bought my incredible more than one year ago and I've never thought to unlock and go with custom rom until i got the last OTA. I was so disappointed i flashed Nik's project x almost the same day. You should really consider trying a custom rom. If you like stock appearance you could try android revolution HD i bet it will perform way better than stock ics
Inviato dal mio Incredible S con Tapatalk 2
Thanks for your confirmations!
I'll try a custom ROM then.
As for the appearance I use a custom homepage anyway.
After using CM7 for a while, which was great, I upgraded to IceCold 8.1.1. I found it slow and laggy. Then I updated to Official Stock ICS. Same. I updated the radio to the '11' version. Still the same. Now I am using Ice Cold 8.3. Still the same. I did full wipe, and restored apps with Titanium.
I am very frustrated. I want ICS, but I am thinking of going back to CM7.2. I should be happy with IceCold, but I'm not. Slow, laggy, and lots of 'not responding' messages. Facebook app is the worst - almost unusable.
Any ideas anyone? I have:
IceColdSandwich 8.3 Rossi
4EXT Recovery
Blackrose 2.02 S-OFF
Ice cold is not laggy for me at all
How long have you let the ROM settle before deeming it laggy?
What clock speed for CPU? And maybe try go to recovery and clear both cache an dalvik cache, and make sure to do that after every rom flash if you don't already
Just that most of us are having a smooth nearly flawless ICS experience, hard to think only you are having problems

@jcr67: It's funny how mine is the other way round. I mean I didn't use the stock ROM (or whatever it is called) and installed CM 7.2 as soon as I got my phone because I didn't like the stock UI at all and I had seen CM 7.2 running on DHD with my cousin so I was kinda impressed. I kept using it until I visited my cousin and comparing both the phones (play store, I had a topic on that) was just awful. My play store searching, loading, agreement would take ages. I had been trying lots of ROMs until I came across Ice cream sandwich ROMs and the speeds were great (Virtuous Vivo) but it was the stock UI again which got me bored. I, yesterday, came across a topic by Nathan about Incredible S ROMs and battery life and after reading each and every post, I knew IceColdSandwich is my next ROM or I am selling this ****. Then and now, this is the best ROM I tried till now. No lag, great UI (after theme installation that was in the topic itself, it's become even greater). The only problem I am having is with my battery life. I had this on other ROMs too. So all I can say is that I am more than just satisfied with this ROM.
Try reinstalling the ROM by after running the SuperWipe script (inside the Android Revolution HD ROM topic.)
Sorry for the long post.

Ignore my earlier comments, re IceCold.
I always clear dalvik, wipe etc, when installing. But I repeated this anyway, just to make sure. I let it settle down. It got better. And better. And now I have V6 supercharged it.
It's pretty great now.
Except for the battery life. I'm getting not much more than half a day, without doing much.
Usually I ensure that the following are disabled unless I really want them:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Vibration (keyboard)
- keyboard tones
- USB debugging
Optional: Automatic brightness turned off and set brightness to comfortable level
If you are overclocking it try to use it at usual clock speed. Overclocking consumes more battery.

I started to use custom ROM after upgrade to ICS. Laggy, even.the apps & notification drawer also laggy.
for me the latest ota ics upgrade is quite good, just sometimes i can feel that things just dun get smooth enough, made my mind and tried few custom roms. Most of them are just really gud in term of performances and looks. Now im gud to go with ice cold rom, much better than official rom of course, and on the battery issue, just make sure u turn off anything u dun need when u dun need them
I find ARHD 3.0.1 with V6 Supercharger script properly installed (no KickAssKernelizer cos I want to wait for a custom kernel) and ultrasmooth rosie.apk to be a fairly smooth running experience.
Tip:
I've improved battery life and reduced common running temperature and hence increased performance/stability/speed by simply running GSM only instead of GSM/HSPA unless I'm in a good signal zone and want to browse data quickly. (I'm talking 2G/3G switching in the mobile network settings.. may not be labelled gsm/hspa in some ROMs). This is a good bet, especially when indoors. I live in a basement so signal drops are more steep for the higher frequency 3G signal.
This should be true for any ROM. Anywhere your data browsing is slow to heart-rendingly unusable.. should definitely save battery, reduce temp, and improve text and call reception to switch to GSM only!

I find project X to be really quick and doesn't seem to struggle with multiple apps running I.e spotify, Facebook and chrome.
Easy to flash too!

For 'We Want CS' I still can see lag when open apps drawer & pull down notification. Anyway, its still better than OTA update.

It's obviously a matter of opinion. So far, I've tried (apart from stock) the official CM7.2 and TheWhisp's unofficial CM9.
I'm still on CM9 right now, but I must admit, there are a couple of things I'm missing from CM7.2. For example, 7.2 had a call blocker, which I used to screen out junk sms's. Also, the video camera doesn't work on CM9.
The main reason I haven't gone back is that I like to keep my phone in landscape, and that's very easy in CM9. I tried to do that previously with apps but they were never reliable, and kept popping back to portrait unexpectedly. Probably more importantly for most people - I get much better battery life with CM9.
I'd really recommend experimenting a bit. Once you get comfortable flashing and doing nandroid backups with CWM, it's really not a big deal trying on a new rom for size.
Just whatever you do: DON'T USE ROM MANAGER ... AT ALL!!!

[Q] Incredible S JellyBean Roms Comparison

There have now been severel JellyBean ROMS released for the HTC Incredible S.
I was hoping that I could get some opinion on how well each one is working.
So far i have found the following ROMS:
Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution by Nic
There is a comparison of them here.
The thread pretty much outlines that they are smooth bountiful ROMS which they are. They work really well, however, I have noticed some extra things wrong with them other then the outlined ones:
-Loudspeaker does not work and breaks the mic for the call.
-Sometimes the text on the homescreen becomes blurred, you have to lock the screen for a while to get that to go away.
-The full screen videos crash the phone, the fix doesn't work on my phone.
The next ROM i have seen is the CyanVivo X mod. I haven't tried this one but it seems like it has all the same problems. Front camera doesn't work. Full screen vids etc.
There is one that has been released recently:
It is an unofficial CM release:
It seems to have solved all of the problems with the ROM, the front camera works, it seems like it is quick, the only thing it doesnt handle is video camera. Can anyone tell me about problems with this ROM.
I was hoping to make a good Thread which compares each of these ROMs and which ones are the best?
The first two are just ROMs to say you have JB on your phone, both are buggy but some people can live with this and use them daily. These were the first JB ROMs, the same Dev got them running then support stopped.
CV10 is the breakthrough JB ROM, Dev working on it and the ROM has potential. More stable than the first two ROMs as Dev focusing on the kernel, currently still got a couple of bugs which some people can live with to be able to use the ROM daily. Keep an eye on this thread for development progress and regular feedback.
CM10 has a ninja for a Dev, works in the background and appears absent from the forum. Then ROM appears. The ROM currently seems to be the most stable/complete JB ROM and has least bugs. Many people using this as a daily use ROM. But is the Dev still working on it to perfect it, how long until the next update... nobody knows!
I tried this ROM, battery life seemed short, I struggled to get a days normal use from one charge. Plus I wanted my video camera to be working so I can film my young kids when I needed to. Back on ICS/sense ROM now.
These are just my own crude opinions.

From reading the thread on the paranoid android it looks like it has more bugs then the Unofficial CM ROM. Things including permenant sleep and crashing with full screen video, which i experienced with the original ROMS from Nik.
The only problems I have with the Unofficial ROM is that the battery drains quite quickly (About 10Hrs on Battery with Juice Defender Pro), it can be a bit Laggy at times which i didn't experience with Niks ROMS and sometimes it doesn't quite wake up properly, (The button lights come on but you have to wait a bit for the screen)
Hi,
My experience with the ROM was different.. yes is an issue with the full screen video but the thread mentions the solution.. I did not have any issues with phone not-able-to-sleep... the battery was also good - it used to last atleast a day with good usage on calls...
With tools like 'Easy Battery Saver' it even touched 2 days with normal usage..
I was on the ROM for six months with no issues.. also i did not use the default launcher bundled with the ROM; I had installed APEX launcher rather..

Try turning off network based location in gps settings and rebooting the phone. it's a known bug with cm. :/
Are you only looking at CM/AOSP/AOKP roms?
I really don't think any are ready for daily use. Every one I used I thought was okay, then I needed to use the camera or some setting and it would crash. I'm going to wait for szezso to make a fully working kernel.
I think I'm going to test lacoste right now though... I'll tell you what I think.

I've been using dla5244's Unofficial CM10 for more than a week now. It's definitely a daily driver. With v2, even camcorder works wonderfully. I believe the v2 kernel is full featured and I can find no bugs at all so far.

tried the unofficial cyanogenmod 10 v3 .. all is fine EXCEPT one thing that really bothers me, the touch screen is not that responsive.. the scrolling is not smooth as it should be.. anyone have same prob ?
If u want a stable n fast JB rom then u should try Lacoste 4.1.2... Its fast, smooth, battery backup is awsm, sweep2wake enabled kernel, n most imp its almost bugless...so give a try......

Lacoste is just another version of unofficial.. For me i prefer unofficial because dla did all the work, but in lacoste, it is just a couple of tweaks based on dlas rom..

I tried CyanVivo X, and it was awesome, except neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on. I'll give the unofficial CM10 ROM a try!

I've been using Unofficial CM10 since it was released and scrolling is as smooth as it should be.
What CPU governor are you using? I once switched to Interactive with some bad tweaks which resulted in something like you're experiencing now. After switching to ondemand/smartassv2 everything is fine now.

Actually I read your previous thread about battery life so I tried it myself. Maybe I screw something up.
