Since the Cyanogenmod buildbot is offline until version 9 (ICS) and the current provider of Kangs baldwinguy77 was no longer a g2x user (but still willing to build for us what a nice person!) I decided to try and compile a nightly. I decided to turn my laptop (the Gateway mentioned in older posts) into a dual boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu 11.10 machine. The next thing was to locate build instructions but instead I ran across two great scripts to set up and build Cyanogenmod. The first one found here helped me get everything loaded that the compile process needs and the second one found here let me create a working rom for my phone. I learned a great deal about git and repo and syncing along the way. I also had to repoint the CyanogenMod Compiler (CMC) to the repo I downloaded with the first script as my Ubuntu had a max 30gig which I filled up … so you need lots of space….
Anyhow if you have a LG/T-Mobile G2X and want to try the latest Cyanogenmod nightly you can download it here. Just remember I only compiled this all credit for the actual functioning goes to the Cyanogenmod team! You can find them here.
A big thank you to Cyanogenmod team, nicandris for the first script mentioned, and lithid-cm for Cyanogenmod Compiler without them it would have been a much longer process!!
