Confirmed that the MCR fr17 rom consumes battery to the max.. I dont have any apps running in the background but somehow it consumes battery extremely quickly

Hey,

Anybody notice the signal is weaker after flashing in the MCR fr17 ROM ? Any baseband to recommend that would fix this ? (if possible provide link as well)

Have another question. Now I'm on MCR fr17.. If I want to flash in lets say CM7,

1) Do I need to flash back the Stock ROM then only proceed to flash in CM7?
2) What about basebands / kernels etc?

Thanks to all sifus for guiding me

nobody could help me with the baseband issue?
Using 405 at the moment..

Issues encountered? previously when I'm on stock, Maxis line seems to have 2-3 bars when I'm in my room. After flashing in the MCR fr17, I somehow manage to only get 0- 2 bars (most of the time 1 bar only).

And it seems to be pretty unstable.. within 5 seconds, the following will take place: (0 bar, 2 bar, 0 bar, 1 bar, 3 bar,) .. very eratic.. not sure if this is common?

Anybody can guide me where the picture files for all the optimus 2x icons are placed?

I wanna replace the Go SMS icon with the standard LG optimus 2x SMS icon (the green one that is in the form of a envelope with a smiley on it). Searched online and found some but its not quite right in terms of size and colour

@heavencloud
I managed to find the icon Now i wanna know where are LG wallpapers stored.. Would like to store some wallpapers in there instead of putting it in my camera folder as I delete items in my camera folder often ..

I checked and I do not have a folder called \system\media\wallpaper..

Only managed to browse up to \system\media ..

I dont have the problem where it drains to 0% during sleep. But battery life is a problem with the o2x.

I am now undervolting it to see if it makes any difference.. Going to play with another kernel also to see if it helps..

Extended battery? Thats interesting.. wont it spoil the phone? Will it have charging issues? I'm interested to purchase as well if it is compatible.. but how much?

@heavencloud
I think you could get it below 17XX now.. I bought mine RM1700 only.. original.. and thats 2 weeks++ back. Recently phone prices drop due to SGS2

Yo,

Anyone used the latest 606 baseband + RIL for MCR fr17 ? Searched around and still nobody could give me an input whether is it:

a) Better at receiving signals
b) Improve battery life (due to the better signals, 3g doesnt have to keep searching).

@heavencloud

Let me know on the results !
My current battery drain is 6-8% per hour (Data on all the time) which sucks

@heavencloud
Your verdict on 606 baseband + RIL ? Battery consumption? And also, is data on all the time or didnt even turn it on?

Thanks.. Your experiment means a lot to me.. cheers !

I have somehow concluded that the auto-off / freeze is hardware related.

I bought an ori O2x, the problem described happened.

I exchanged it for a new one, no problem at all till to day.. Used for 3 weeks + ? not a single autoshutdown / freeze.

@fool1988
I exchanged it with my seller he gave me 1 to 1 exchange... Exchanging with LG i dont know.

BUT, one thing for sure (According to my seller), they will not entertain warranty card only. You need the receipt as well.

@heavencloud
Baseband 606 !!! results ?

Anyway Chainfire 3D is for OC/UV ? similar to pimp my cpu? i've only used pimpmycpu

For those of you that are using unofficial MCR, how do you guys get it leh ? Need to donate ? I never understood how

Hi All,

Been getting lots of confusing answers from ppl at xda. To flash baseband, you need to wipe your phone. Flashin RIL no need to wipe.

Is the above correct?

When talking about wipe, it means it will go back to the original state of the ROM that is currently residing in your phone, not back to stock ROM.

Is the above correct?

Thanks

Lol... i'm on MCR T_T.. CM7 gingerbread is so tempting.. but I cant find a flaw with MCR.. wonder is it worth upgrading
