I'm pretty sure it will be 2.2 because the 2.3 update isn't available yet and there is no other base roms to get it from.

work in progress. 5% done.

currently doing: spending the night with teh girlfriend.
what's next: finish testing collected information.
I beg your pardon, 5% what it was made?)
I do a firmware for Russian users, can help you, means dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen, turns out to make the necessary changes, but the ROM does not boot from an error in the boot.img
Any help ...

Be patient, this takes time and I have no rush.
I'm at the point of getting to know the insides of P970, only afterwards I can play.

Dear Noejin, some users have said that the touch screen response is not very accurate, if we want to type some word in the small virtual keyboard, it is very easy to type wrong key which near the target key, is it a bug? or whether have a app to solve it?

thank you!

I heard that a mod from the LG support forums said he would be 'surprised' if the gingerbread doesn't come for the optimus 2x by the end of this month

Hi!

Be careful with Custom ROM!

Today I flashed custom ROM (created by me) and mobile die.

I can't turn on or repair...

Don't spread misinformation please.

It's almost impossible to brick a device with a custom ROM since it only affects boot and system partitions. Since the bootloader stays untouched, it's always possible to flash firmware. I have already flashed like 10 times, 3 didn't work and I went back to stock this way.

    Version 8 [31/8/2011]
    ~~~
    A nova (plural novae) is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen on to the surface of a white dwarf star, which ignites and starts nuclear fusion in a runaway manner. Novae are not to be confused with supernovae or luminous red novae.

    ~~~​

    Nova (click it for trivia!) is a ROM for Optimus Black which aims to replace the stock ROM and give you what stock doesn't: minimalism and speed. Any LG and OEM trace has been reduced to a minimum and it has been significantly improved and optimized while keeping the most bugfree as possible. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have coming up with it.​

    Installation

    Alert.png
    A wipe is required when first flashing Nova, however, unless otherwise stated, no wipe is needed to upgrade between versions.

    1. Download nova-xxx.zip to your sdcard storage on your OB
    2. [Optional] Check nova-xxx.zip's Md5 to check if your download copy is corrupted
    3. Boot into CWM Recovery through whatever method you choose (anreboot, terminal, ...)
    4. [First flash only] Use the volume keys and power button to select Wipe Data
    5. Select Install Zip from SD Card
    6. Find the nova-xxx.zip file you downloaded earlier
    7. Scroll through all the No's and hit Yes, install nova-xxx.zip
    8. Wait for the installation to finish
    9. Select Reboot
    10. After the long initial reboot, reboot a second time and you're all set

    Downloads

    Alert.png
    I'm not responsible for any damage what-so-ever done to your phone, as with any ROM, you accept this risk.

    Download.png
    First time flashing Nova? Download this: http://bit.ly/nova-eight (it will wipe data) | md5: 655b0af2e6f15224d4840cee67519902
    Download.png
    Already have Nova? Download this: --- (it will not wipe data)


    Quick guidelines:

    - If UI is very slow after 2 minutes, reflash. If home button doesn't work, reflash.
    - Remember to reboot after the first long boot (applies some tweaks).
    - Check "known issues" and "FAQ" before posting.

    FAQ
    underline.png

    forward.png
    Q. If I flash a firmware after flashing Nova, I can't install applications! why?
    tick.png
    A. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212370

    forward.png
    Q. I miss some stock applications, how can I have them back?
    tick.png
    A. Use Application Injector in Nova Script (terminal app > 'su' > 'nova')

    forward.png
    Q. I'm getting problems with superuser (root) and reboot doesn't fix it, help!
    tick.png
    A. Use this: http://www.multiupload.com/VRD7JFXLA2 - instructions inside.

    forward.png
    Q. It seems it's a bit laggy sometimes, what can I do to improve this?
    tick.png
    A. You might want to try disable BPO and d2u in misc options @ nova script to see if it solves your problem. Also keep in mind that if you have too low voltages for the frequencies, one of the most evident signs will be lag.

    Ah y, nvm.
    Kernel will work with stock.

    An easy solution would be to include in the android system a button-pressed-check on startup (maybe the "G"-Button) and execute a reboot recovery from there (prior to "really" startup the system).

    So you would have a save recovery if the rom is "basically" working.

    Easier said than done but I'll look into it.
    It can't be in the system but it might be possible on the ramdisk.
