At first I was reluctant to root/put a custom rom onto my O2X, but wow. It is so worth it. You really don't notice how horrible LG's software is until you use something else.
I will post a video of the speed soon! It's incredible. I can also help out if anyone has questions (i may be fairly nooby, but we can work out the answers together).
That's my sloppy guide, I really don't suggest you use it other than for some basic info of how easy it is to do (the reason I wrote it). I strongly suggest you look around on youtube and xda for guides and stuff for the o2x.
Doubt this is helpful >.>

Code:
Basically, I rooted with [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682"]superoneclick [/URL](as the name suggests, it was very easy. Plug, click, rooted).
Then it was as simple as downloading the latest stable build of CM7 ([url]www.cyanogenmod.com[/url]), and using rom manager to reboot into clockwork mod recovery.
There is a guide [URL="http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide"]here[/URL], just ignore the root part as superoneclick does that.
I am a complete noob, and I managed to do it, so can you. :)
WARNING: OBVIOUSLY YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID AS SOON AS YOU ROOT. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY OF ANYTHING HAPPENING, ETC. I AM JUST POSTING THIS TO SHOW YOU HOW FAST YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LG OPTIMUS 2X (AND GET GINGERBREAD).
