To refresh the HwaSettings database you need to clear it's data.
Some apps don't like non-stock DPI values and will FC. Solution: Settings - Paranoid Settings - List of apps and apply "PhoneUI" + "Stock DPI (Phone)" This fixes 99% of all app FC's!
Same bugs as all CM9 ROMs for the 2x due to the missing LG blobs (no full Chrome / Opera support, no video recording etc.)
You don't need to do a full wipe. Just flash and wipe cache + dalvik.
If you want to keep your customized densities then make a backup of your pad.prop file with the "ParanoidAndroid Backup" app!
If you're coming from another ROM a full wipe highly recommended. It might work without if you come from another CM9 based ROM but: don't even dare to post any bug reports when you didn't do a full wipe!
Don't restore system apps (like Settings) or system data (like Wifi data) with TitaniumBackup!
You'll find a new Settings entry "Paranoid Settings" where you can setup all the magic
By default I set it up to use the standard Phone UI and disabled the navigation bar which I don't need.
But you can enable it at Settings - System - Navigation bar!
I'm using the JB hackfest kernel from now on.
It's arcees kernel with a couple additions from benee (thx benee!)
zRAM is enabled by default with the so-called memfix script
pad.prop cleanup (no pre-configuration anymore, only fixes included)
Torch button readded to the navigation drawer widget
from now on I build PA directly from source, no more ugly porting!
this gives us great stability improvements and performance enhancements
added a Center Clock option for PhoneUI - I absolutely love it!
added a setting for system volume as requested
lots of bugfixes and enhancements
enabled the mobile data limit function
fixed the broken contacts widgets
you can enable KSM now - but beware, it is battery hungry
many many small bugfixes
based on ParanoidAndroid v1.6 (the latest ICS version)
Improvements on frameworks, fixed all DPI related crashes
SystemUI mode can be configured now
Cleanup and speedup of hybrid code via native libs (~25%)
this build was a lot more work than the changelog suggests
I had to redo almost everything from scratch!

Build 09:
Let's flag the testbuilds as build 9 to prevent confusion
from now on I build PA directly from source, no more ugly porting!
this gives us great stability improvements and performance enhancements
synced to the latest Cyanogenmod ICS sources
based on ParanoidAndroid v1.6 (the latest ICS version)
Improvements on frameworks, fixed all DPI related crashes
SystemUI mode can be configured now
Cleanup and speedup of hybrid code via native libs (~25%)
ParanoidAndroid
Per app densities and per app layout (tablet/phone)
Change the dpi value for each app (or system element) the way you want.
HwaSettings
Enable and disable the 2D hardware accelleration on a per app basis.
As we still don't have a properly working hwa (thanks LG!) this tool makes the waiting easier.
For example: Just disable hwa for the Browser / Facebook to fix the rotation crash.
PDroid
Deny certain apps the access to specific ressources.
Highly Optimized
V6 supercharged, OOM groupings, lagfree, dalvik fixes, etc.
and a lot more
P990: automatic detection of SU660 BBs for automatic time (automatic NITZ fix)
a couple datadrop fixes
adb remount enabled
flashable zip for LG UI 3.0
flashable zip for AOKP weather icons
tons of other things I am too lazy too list
PAD (Per App Density) - choose a custom density for each of your apps!
PAL (Per App Layout) - chose PhoneUI or TabletUI for each of your apps!
To be honest, this is not tablet mode at all, it has nothing to do with silly build.prop hacks.
This is the first and only Android rom to feature true Hybrid mode.
This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually.
Remember, android is modular, everything is an app: Lockscreen, navigationbar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets, and your regular apps of course.
Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on.
This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.
Now for every element that you like chose a mode (PhoneUI, Phablet/Nexus-7UI, TabletUI) and/or a size.
You are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to.
You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot.
You will not suffer from the myriads of troubles which normally haunt you under build.prop tablet mode.
Your market, phone, etc. will all work, apps won't shrink on you unless you shrink them yourself.
This project will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the feel of your phone.

Q: Some apps Force Close for me A: Some apps don't like non-stock DPI values and will FC.
If an app Force Closes go to Settings - Paranoid Settings - List of apps and apply "Stock DPI (Phone)" (or custom 240 which is the same thing).
For apps with widgets also check the "Force Scaling (widgets)" option. After a reboot your problems are gone. This fixes 99% of all app FC's!
The next 0.5% are caused by restores from TitaniumBackup. Please try to avoid any unnecessary restores!
Q: My status bar disappeared? A: Hold power button until Power Menu comes up, click Expanded Desktop.
Q: Video recording isn't working A: Yes, that's LG's fault, we need the official ICS release for that. You can use "Videocam illusion" from the playstore. No HD but at least recording is working with it.
Q: Paranoid Android settings force closing? A: Clear data for "Settings" and see if that works. If it doesn't, did you do a full wipe before installation? If you didn't, then that is most likely the problem.
Q: My Youtube videos won't play? A: Turn phone to landscape mode, and turn off the HD option.
Q: I saw something about a hotfix in the thread, do I still need to flash that? A: No, you only need to flash hotfixes if they're mentioned in the first post. If not the hotfixes are already baked in into the newest version.
Q: I don't have the on-screen navigation buttons? I want those bacause it looks nice in Tablet UI! A: Go to Settings> System> Navigation bar> Softkeys, also works without Tablet UI.
Q: No USB mounting support for my SD card? A: The stock kernel doesn't support UMS. Flash a custom one (like Harsh's) and go to Settings> Storage> Menu> USB computer connection.
Q: The Stock browser crashes from time to time. A: Yes, the Stock browser crashes when turning from landscape to portrait. The ROM now supports HWA settings, so all you need to do is disable the HWA for browser to fix the rotation crash.
Q: What are the major bugs in this ROM? A: Nothing ROM related! There are only the typical ICS bugs. We need the official ICS release by LG to solve them. Examples are no video recording(Camera does work though).
Q: Does Chrome work? A: Nope! Cnrome does not work because of missing drivers. We need the official ICS build for the Optimus 2x.
Q: My font size is rather small? A: Increase either the default or the apps specific density at Settings> ParanoidSettings or go into Settings> System> Font Size> and choose another font size.
Q: I've changed some things in Paranoid Settings. After rebooting, these Settings now force close, what do I do? A: Just reflash the ROM without wipe. This will fix it because it replaces the (modified)pad.prop in /system with an unmodified stock(as the ROM came) pad.prop.
Q: When switching through homescreens, I get a blue outline of the screen and I don't like it, how do I get rid of that? A: Go to Settings> Launcher> General> Disable the "Tablet effects" option. Then go to the Homescreen settings an change the Transition effect to Standard.
Q: My alarm didn't ring today, so I was late for work, then I got fired, then my house got reposessed, then my car gave out of gas, so now I'm just sitting under a bridge with my phone and what little battery I have left. Why didn't my alarm go off?! A: This was probably a bsod (black screen of death). All phones react different to different kernels, you have to try yourself which one works best for you. Don't undervolt! Undervolting increases the chance of bsods a lot. If this only happens during charging it's a charging bsod with an easy solution: Go into Settings - Developer Options and check "Stay awake"(No man's financial life was harmed in the making of the above question)
Q: Does the HDMI connection work? A: Yes! The HDMI connection works at full 1080p HD, just not at 720p though(just like CM7, and any other ROM). Just plug it in and it recognizes it just fine!
Q: When using a root checker, I got a failed root check(saying I'm not getting root access). What do I do? A: Try wiping the data of Superuser. If that doesn't work, try updating the SU binary, or the app itself. If that doesn't work, the ultimate solution is to wipe data(a complete data wipe/factory restore in CWM to be specific), and reinstall the ROM, this might not work however, a trick that has been used by a fellow Optimus 2x user, found that he had to erase all internal memory in "Mount Storage". But, in reality, there is NO need for a root checker if everything else Superuser related works, so don't worry!!
Q: Can you include the Optimus 4x lockscreen? A: Unfortunately: No - and there's nothing I can do about that as long as the ParanoidAndroid team doesn't release it's source.
Q: Why isn't Opera working? A: The newer versions aren't working on P99x ICS unfortunately. You need to use Opera Mobile v11.5.3 or Opera Mini v6.5.2.
Some settings menus are not reachable in TabletUI and Portrait view, the problem is the too small screen size.
For example: Settings - Security - Screen lock - Pattern: The Next and Cancel buttons are missing in TabletUI.
There are three workarounds:
Most of the times it's enough to just tilt the device into landscape, the missing settings will appear due to a specific landscape layout.
Setting the Tablet DPI (128) does make it work, but it will get pretty tiny.
Last but not least: Apply PhoneUI (and if needed even a dpi of 240).
Faux kernels have two versions: The "sv", or standard volt version, which starts at 1.0 GHz, and goes up to 1.55 Ghz, and is not undervolted, the kernel that does not say "sv" in it's name, is the already overclocked kernel, it starts at 1.1 GHz, and goes up to 1.55 GHz. Remember, get the latest version for ICS!
Q: What baseband can I use this on? A: Any! This rom supports all old and the (new one(if you have a noise problem with calls)), just read here: http://bit.ly/OlC3eT
Quick tip-
March 2011 baseband: Slow GPS locks(cold start), worst call quality out of all three, possibility of slower data speeds
July 2011 baseband: Slightly faster GPS locks(cold start), slightly better call quality, possibility of faster data speeds
March 2012 baseband: Fastest GPS locks so far(cold start, ~8 seconds for me inside, with wifi off), best call quality, possibility of faster data speeds, screen of death issues fixed for the most part
Q: I'm having MMS(Picture Messaging) issues? A: Switch to data, Wifi MMS is a pain. I've always had the problem of MMS over Wifi on any ROM every now and then. Data always works, though!
Q: Bluetooth calling doesn't work? A: Nope, not if you're on the March 2012 baseband, to fix this you have to use the kdz method, download the V21E.kdz and read this, it should help: http://bit.ly/PkCK6P
Q: Wifi calling force closes? A: Go to Settings> Paranoid Settings> List of Apps> Click "All" tab> Scroll down to wifi calling> Click it. Now select phone UI in first box, then Stock UI in the second box, hit save! The reason for wifi calling force closing is because T-Mobile made the app specific to the 240 ppi because the G2x is stock 240 ppi, therefore the app will force close when not in its correct density.
Q: My data drops when on Facebook and in the Play Store and various other apps, what's happening? It's annoying. A: This happens to us all. GPS is kicking in when using those apps. It's a problem that started way back when 4.0.4 became available. To fix this go to Settings> scroll down to Location Services> and unclick the option that says GPS Satellites. Remember! Re-enable this option when you need GPS!
-Thank you all for these questions, and these answers! And this will be updated in the future!

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, and indeed it's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank.
Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. i'm calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.
Go to Settings, System, Font size, set it to NORMAL
Launcher Settings: margins: SMALL (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, Grid: 5x4, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: OFF
Nothing yet. All possible visual bugs can be fixed changing PAL & PAD parameters
Sorry tonyp, I didn't know you were gonna second post. Sorry, but thanks for this though!
Nevermind.
But please edit your post again, below the "POST ICON" section is a field called "MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS" - there you can uncheck "Show your signature".
Same applies to papa.khan123.
