Guest maxisma Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I've coded a tiny app to reboot your Optimus 2x or G2x into recovery mode without holding any buttons. Best thing is... it's free ;-) It doesn't install Clockworkmod, so if you want an app for that, check out Paul's paid app for that (Which does it on the O2x only) :-) I'd be really happy if you'd tap the ad displayed in the application, but you don't need to. Yes, the app is ugly, fugly, disturbing, etc. but hey, it works :-D It's to be found in the Android Market here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.m...sma.lgo2xreboot, on AndroidPIT.com http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/marke...recovery-reboot and in the attachment of course! Update: Implented a check if the app is runnning on an LG Optimus 2x or G2x. Update #2: Made the app less fugly, thanks to fitsnugly. Update #3: SU660 compatibility I also attached the source code, if you're interested.com.maxisma.lgo2xreboot.apk.zipcom.maxisma.lgo2xreboot_SOURCE.zip Edited April 22, 2011 by maxisma
Guest Stevvie Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 There are a few free ones out there. But I was MORE than happy to pay 99p to supports Paul's hard work.

They don't work on the LG Optimus 2x, as it requires "boot-recovery" to be written after 6144 bytes on the MISC (mmcblk0p3) partition. Also, nobody stops you from supporting Paul. I, for one am already using MoDaCo Plus, so I'm supporting him as well.

Guest djmcnz Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) lol - love the disclaimer in the code. It doesn't look that bad! :) Will download and test to see if it has the same sd card problem Paul's app does... Edit: Same problem as Paul's - it seems to only affect some phones - SD Card is not mounted after a soft reboot (full or recovery)... :) I'll try and get a boot log tonight.

Haha, the "{" and "}" are all messed up, no idea which belong together anymore.. :) That's strange, never experienced that.. Which baseband are you using? It looks like MISC gets restored on every boot on my device.

IIRC logcat actually say "SD Card not present" but I'll need to verify that tonight. Works find from a hard boot.

Guest okdac Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Hey hey, really nice Maxisma (and what about the Hero, dropped it ?) Well done, boy !!
Guest maxisma Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Hey hey, really nice Maxisma (and what about the Hero, dropped it ?) Well done, boy !! Switched from my Hero to an N1 a few months ago ;-) And now I got the 2x as my main device, the N1 is my second. :-)
Guest the1c3man Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Just upgraded to cloclwork 3.1.0.1 and the spp doesn't work now, says my phones not a 2x???
Guest Jay-V Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Just upgraded to cloclwork 3.1.0.1 and the spp doesn't work now, says my phones not a 2x??? After a reboot (shut down and boot up again) it should work. I also upgraded to clockwork 3.1.0.1 yesterday an had the same issue. After a reboot it works fine now. I am loving the touch-button handling. BTW: I am using the StockROM (v10c)
