[START HERE]**Your TOTAL guide to CM10, ICS and Partitioning - ICS/JB ROMs - LG P990*

SREEPRAJAY · Apr 15, 2011

This is a thread with links to all important files and threads, instead of having to stick them separately. Everything that is posted on this forum is for the LG Optimus 2X, NOT T-Mobile G2X. Flashing ROMs and MODs from here on a G2X or SU660 may break your phone. For more info read this.

This is not a Q&A thread, please post your questions in the relevant thread instead of here.

Your guide to Partitioning

There are 2 bootloader/partition layouts present for the LG P990 (Optimus 2X).

1. Older Froyo/GB
2. Newer ICS

Here are the following ways to change partition/bootloader.

1. All-In-One P990-Toolkit
To change to and from the 2 partition/bootloader. EASIEST OPTION.

2. NVFlash toolkit
For changing your partition to Stock ICS format. Or reverting back to GB/Froyo format with CMW preinstalled.

3. Full Brick Repair with CM10
For reverting back to old GB/Froyo partition and bootloader with CMW. It also comes with CM10.

4. NVFlash resize

Just for changing partition sizes of your internal memory. Instruction in the thread.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU FLASH THE RIGHT ROM FOR THE RIGHT BOOTLOADER/PARTITION.

I want clean Vanila 2.2 or 2.3 ROM.

Hi All

Please do forgive me if I come across as being stupid but I only got my LG 2X today and I want to flash a clean 2.2 or even better a 2.3 Vanila ROM.

But I'm very confused as to exactly what I need to do. I understand that I need to root first but dont even know where to root from.

Would someone be kind enough to maybe put together a step by step guide on how to root and then install a ROM please? Or maybe just provide links to each step in the correct order?

I'm sure other users would also find it useful.

I've been using the device for a few hours now and have updated to the latest V10D via LG's software update and have not yet experienced any random reboots etc except for only ONE reboot when I tried to install Swype but that was before the V10D update.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here. Cheers.

HaalloJa · May 26, 2011

Root:
I used this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Rooting

Recovery:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Recovery_and_CyanogenMod

Flash:
With ClockworkMod Recovery you now can boot into recovery (power+vol down)
Here you wipe data and wipe partition and after that you click "flash ROM from SD-card" or something like that, find the ROM on your SD-card and hit it.

Wohoo!

Imperticus · Jun 3, 2011

Definitely the best and easiest way to root is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Could someone please add a note to the first section (or anywhere else they feel it may help) to advise Canadian users? Here in Canada, Wind lists their LG as an Optimus 2X but it is actually a P999. A note pointing them to the P999/T-Mobile forums would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to get a review system going for the roms and patches, so we may get a gauge of battery life, stability and those sorts of things for the different roms, etc?

Sort of like done here;
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=668090
But maybe working off a user review system?....Trying to think of a way to make it fairly accurate, but not involve one poor person running one rom after another over and over to write a review.

I would like this as well. I am looking at flashing a rom with good battery life. There is no direct way of finding out how the battery peformance is in these roms. Everyone always talks about the overclock I just want stable with 2 days battery.

alktlr · Nov 3, 2011

I have got good battery experience with Slick2X ROMs for both Froyo and Gingerbread. I got around 3 days or 1% per hour in sleep mode.

Gingerbread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061532
Problems: Slow GPS fix.

Froyo -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076454
Problems: Well, it is froyo, does not utilize dual-core fully.

Current I use Pauls rooted stock gingerbread ROM, which gives around 2 days between charges.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
Problems: none found yet.

Imperticus · Nov 12, 2011

Can everyone please vote, for the ROM or kernel you're using, 1 to 5 in five categories. Stability, Speed, Battery Life, Appearance, Daily use. And i'll compile them and put it on the second post. thank you.
