So i am currently running eagles blood and love it, super smooth, love the black. Havnt found any other glitches yet. Props to creator. What are some other good roms our there
Before the g2x I had a vibrant and ONLY ran Team Whiskey built ROM's because they were always the quickest and most reliable. When I first got my g2x I saw krylon running around the g2x forums and was very excited to see what he will do. My wife is STILL running Bionix on my old vibrant and I am also running Bionix on the g2x. Battery is a lot better, black theme is very nice, phone is super snappy, and I have NO problems with Bionix.
I have tried pretty much all the gb rom's out there and fauxs aosp 1.1.5 gb rom has been the most stable and smooth build I've used... with his custom kernel the thing is buttery smooth and fast with an oc of 1.5ghz if you want it super fast ... plus its a nice stock gb build with no extra stuff which I prefer ...
right now I'm running Bionix.
It's hard to say anything about one being better/worse than another right now, since they're all still in beta form. Let's get some final releases out, or at least an official gingerbread leak to compare against, before judging anything too harshly. And I'm not trying to say they should rush...just that we should expect some glitches
Here is my opinion.
None is better then the other for the fact that they are all built off the same source. If you look at the change logs for all roms right now it is mostly visual things changed with few backend things. (minus cm7 as they built their own)
Anyways give the devs more time to get more actual development done then compare them.
Stock Rom because it's more stable than any of the custom roms at this point. Every thread I've been reading people are having a lot of issues that's why I haven't flashed yet. Waiting for stable build from official source

Not quite true.
stock has almost all the issues and more then most the modded roms.
The reason you see more people complain about the issues on the modded roms is cause ALOT more people are using them over stock as it is junk.
EB1.04 Froyo. Used with included kernel and just a couple of tweaks here and there. Better than stock, LG camera, no GB issues. I get great battery life and speed with it. I'm not looking for a Quadrant record holder...just something that does what I want it to do when asked.
Now for the moderator in me:
These types of threads have the potential to invite flame wars. Keep this thread civil and helpful so it remains open. Thank your for your cooperation.
I've tried a lot of roms but settled with EB 1.0.4 because it feels like a stock rom but without the resets I kept having the with leaked version. The GB keyboard lags some but its nothing.
CM7 is really coming around but I'm going to hold off until they fix the APN settings. I've used CM since the first nightly and started looking elsewhere after #21. I'm looking to just relax with a working rom ATM.
As far as the various roms, they aren't all based on the same source. CM uses a CM base and their own kernel, EB uses the GB leak, and a few others are from AOSP directly from Google. Lots of variation. I agree that we should wait till we get some final builds until we compare but I think this thread is good for people to know because I've been using CM since it came out and when it came time to find something more stable I couldn't find which ones worked or which ones had which bugs.

Do you have it overclocked? And what kernel are you using?

I'm a Team Whiskey fan coming from the Vibrant so Bionix is my first choice, But Eagle's Blood 1.0.4 FR is also really good and in fact I'm running right now because it's still 2.2 so it has stock camera which is great!
Once Krylon gets the camera working on 2.3 I will go back to Bionix!
Haven't tried any others because of the APN issues!

No issues on Bionix.
I've played with all roms.
Latest was Bionix. It suffered some miserable battery drain with this rom. I gave it a few days play, with plenty of idle and game time. I'll say it is very snappy, however I couldn't accept going from 100-under 50 overnight idle while I slept.
Great rom and I will try again.
I'm gonna try EagleBlood 1.04 here in a few minutes, as it's gotten some decent mentions throughout the forums.
oh and btw, faux's aosp 1.1.5 got rid of any lag on the keyboard which i think no other rom has been able to fix on a gb rom

I wish they had a froyo version, cause I hate the jerky browser in gingerbread....
yea man i gotta say def eb 1.04 froyo is what is best rite now ive tried all of them and dont get me wrong bionix is the **** and faux did get rid of the keyboard lag and thats a big thing with these tgingerbread roms for some reason but yes all great roms but eb froyo 1.04 is sick got this extra keyboard by lg which i love and the stock cam also butter smooth but when running a oc kernel im having problems with my phone being on charger and it dying and not turning back on n having to do a battery pull so im just keeping it stock and love it still very fast!
The best ROM for me has been EB Froyo 1.04 and Morfic kernel is running great.
I have flashed nightlies, bionix, GB leak, and eb 1.02 and 1.04.
EB Froyo seems to be the most stable and just works for me.

Man I really want to start flashing new ROM's but I'm still a newbie, so I'll wait for a final build with no issues.
I just dont want to have something go wrong and have to ask for help and get flamed for flashing ROM's without knowing what I was doing first. Hehe

I'm using the stock kernel. I tried the first morfic kernel for the build, and it was very unstable for me. Planning on giving the +48mb version a shot in the future, but stock works so well for me (speed+battery life), it'll be hard to justify a switch.
Ok, normally its a no brainer as im used to CM7 on the G2, but i have been reading there is a lot of bugs with it (i have not read since nightly release 17 or so and i think its up to 30 or something around that now so i gotta catch up a bit i just got the phone today). I also read that eaglesbread or something like that is mentioned all over the place. normally i would not ask this question, but with this phone there is a lot of issues and want to clarify everything.
im an avid CM7 user, so trying other roms makes me nervous, so overall what has been the best ROM where everything works (gps, wifi, 4g, reboots, etc etc etc)
I would also like a rom with an overclockable kernel built in, as im kinda nervous about flashing kernels, but please feel free to share combos of roms and kernels that work outstanding as well. again, im used to a G2, so over there i dont ask this question, as i started and will continue to use CM7 on my G2.
my G2x is already rooted.
You are going to get alot of opinions cause at this point in time no rom is that much better then any other
Now wait for a while longer and I am sure it would be an easier answer

lol, sadly in the back of my mind, thats what i was thinking.
usually before i buy a phone, first thing i look for is how easy it is to root, then i look at hardware, then roms and stability. as you can tell, i have been trolling the G2x forums for almost 2 weeks now looking around and have not seen anything that is straight forward like on the G2, but i also got the G2 in feb 2011, so it was already out for a while prior to my purchase compared to this phone has been out for what 3-4 weeks now?
my initial plan was to stick with stock rom, just root it and change the font and remove some bloatware and wait for the official GB update and install it manually from one of our great developers on this site
my device has very very minor screen bleed at each of the 4 corners and even that was hard to find, screen build quality seems good and all day under moderate use has not locked up on me. i will have to figure out why wifi was having an issue with me, but my G2 was also have wifi lockups that it never had before so it may be an issue on my end. but 4G connectivity has been working 100%.

If you're a Cm fan, now's the time to jump on board. #34 is fairly stable. I use it as my day to day. The battery readings are still f'd up something major. Bionix is a really nice rom. Smooth and clean, and really no major bugs that I noticed. I rocked that for about 7 days, in between #26 and #33 CM. The battery goes fast with Bionix however...if the reading is, in fact, correct.

Thanks for the input, would you mind clarifying what you mean by fairly stable?
Nonsense!
I've been using Eagles Blood 1.04 Froyo for about a week now and its been great. I chose this one because it looks stock and I like that (black status bar is a nice mod too). Everything has worked fine: wifi, calls, GPS, 4G, good battery life, etc. I tried a couple Gingerbread variants but I had too many issues -- freezes, major keyboard lag, GPS not locking on. Haven't tried CM yet, although I loved it on my Nexus One.
Just my 2¢

There are some freezes with any of the roms when you use the kernels but what do you expect when you overclock to 1.5? From my experience the most stable set up for me is running stock froyo or EB froyo, but I always change my mind and go to GB and CM7 so go figure. Mind you the freezes for me are about 3 times a day and are annoying but the trade off IMHO is worth it

You should be much more concerned about overclocking your device than flashing a kernel. You really don't have much to fear, just dont get careless.
CM is a crowd favorite but its not for me so I dont think you would benefit from my opinion on the available roms.
I just encourage you to take a deep breath and start flashing rom to rom. You just might find that you like something else a lot more.
Faux asop is pretty solid for me. His latest with kernel is doing well so far. I haven't had the random loss in audio lately. If the battery is wrong I don't care because I am ocd and it helps me not worry!

Same here. I liked cyanogen mod up through 4.1.11.1 on my G1 but ever since then there have been roms that are both faster and more stable. Props to cyanogen for influencing the movement though. Not knocking him, just not my style anymore... going to try faux's aosp I think.

Anyone have an update on their favorites? Seems like we've had an explosion of new ROMs lately.
Hey devs, might you want to consolidate your efforts a bit?
I have read a lot of threads and i get the impression that the GB ROMs are not and will not be fully stable until an OTA comes out, which as we know from VZs track record could be never. In any case, I am currently unrooted and running the leaked MR2 RUU. I absolutely LOVE it as it has rebooted on me once in a week or two. Being that some update will come out next week from VZ, I feel forced to root my phone. If I do, and want to keep this same level of stability it seems my only option is the froyo Eaton ROM based on MR2. Ideally I'd like to run GB, but with the instability and being that all of them have some known issue that isn't fixed, Froyo seems to be my only option atm. What would you all suggest? Thanks!
I have tried a lot of them. I have been stuck on the Thunderstick rom.
I have had no problems what so ever, but your mileage may vary. I am also on the mr2 radio, mr2.5 didn't play nice for me.
I have also been following what is going on at the3ry rom that would be the one I would jump to if I wasn't so happy were I am.
Just make the jump try them out and find what works best for you.
Try Das Bamf 2.1. It may have a bug or two but the thing is damn stable. I use it as my daily ROM. What issues were you hearing of?
Na man, try Gibgeritis muthafucka.

Thank you all, appreciate your responses. The problems I have been seeing range from wifi problems, to poor battery life, to reception problems with 4G, and interface/layout issues.
That sounds like the bugs CM has been having. AFAIK all the sense based GB ROMs are basically stable right now
You will have to decide (try) yourself. I am using Das BAMF sense 3 RC3. I have had no problems with it for the three days I've had it. WiFi works great, GPS great, I'll keep testing, but so far no problems.
I'm still on Bamf 2.0.v 5.. I haven't had any reboots or werid things ever. I'm new to rooting, I've only ever tried their time... From all the froyo up. Never had anything bothersome. Get about 29 hours with under clocking and juice defender

sense based GB ROMs dont have any of these problems (tried most, stuck on Gingervitis 3D v1.0 beta) and even CM7 when matched up with the right kernel (trial and error) is easily liveable as a daily driver. If you can live with the factory bugs rooted roms should be no problem. I dont get where the idea factory roms are issue free. Half the reason I installed froyo roms were to fix apps, GPS and other issues the factory software had built in. I havent had a random reboot yet since the developers got the kernels more stable or any other major issue and the rom is still a beta.
Das bamf 3.0 rc3 has been very stable for me everything works great and with rc4 around the corner its only going to get better

Hopped around to Various ROMs and have pretty much tried them all. My best ROM would be Gingeritis. Knowing that each phone will have it's own personality/just as the owner's do, I recommend to try them all and find what works best for you.
I have tried several of the GB roms, my issues have been more problems with the looks than the performance. I tried a few that had the clear button on the left, and one that had the transparent pull down and that just drove me nuts. I want just a plain on Sense 2.1 rom with GB. I don't need all the bells and whistles and graphics. Plain Sense and GB so I can use Netflix. Does anyone know of a plain ole Sense rom that is Gingerbread?

Bamf 3.0 RC4 has been stable for me so far.
i'm on bamf 2.1 now, and my biggest complaint is that it does not provide voicemail notifications. I must restart the phone to see any voicemail notification. Do the other GB roms have this issue as well?

If you're looking for a more aesthetic ROM then I'd go with MIUI (im assuming that's what you meant). If you're looking for functionality and stability I'd go with cyanogenmod. MIUI is based off of cyanogenmod although it's not as stable. Also if you prefer the stock vanilla android experience CM7 is closer to stock than MIUI.
miui still needs work, iv had problems starting from rebooting while in call and battery life is not to great.
cm7 is the more stable never had a reboot and battery life one time lasted 1 day 15hrs!
I'm the opposite. MIUI has been very good to me in performance, stability, and battery life. CM7 reboots and has horrid APN problems for me. Just my experience though. In general they are both great ROMs.
Try both and see what you like!
MIUI is only at its early stages of development thus this ROM looks promising. On the other hand, Cm7 will just get better and better. I've tried both and I can say CM7'S latest releases have been really snappy, together wirh the wonderful work of great DEVS its just gonna bring out the best of G2X/NVIDIA TEGRA
Should make the distinction that I was talking about the Whitehawkx's MIUI port. Way more stable than the alpha2 in the dev section.
The only problem I ever had with minuit was really sloe GPS. Which is something I NEED. So that was a buzz kill

Did you try the gingerbread gps fix? I just delete my old gps data and redownloaded and it locks just as fast as froyo
Yea I'm with regP Miui has been really good to me, cm7 was good also but I just prefer Miui with ease to customize it.
Hope that helped.....

Miui is based off CM7.
CM7 is more stock like but with additional features and functions built in.
Miui has a iPhone feel.
I think MIUI was built by the Chinese to make cheap iPhone clones that were actually androids. The software became popular and flourished. It has come a long way since I used it last.
I actually have an up to date CM7 build as my daily driver, saves as a Nandroid backup... as well as the latest MIUI. I have both saved and can restore from CWM to go back and forth.
MIUI is still new for the G2x and has some kinks. I hear an official release will be soon. It works pretty well, in my experience, but has some problems keeping a cellular data connection that requires a reboot. CM7 went through the same growing pains and has overcome that problem so it is only a matter of time before MIUI does the same.

I agree miui looks sweet but until they fix the issues with data and wifi I'd go with cm tons and tons of support for cm vs. Little support for miui .... just my 2¢

whats gingerbread gps fix?
I have been running MIUI 1.7.26 and have not had any of the issues that other people are having. Wifi works great and so does cell data. Also, GPS locks within seconds for me.
The only issue I have is that wifi calling is not working. This is a know issue though and will be fixed today.
Oh, one other thing to mention, I am running the newest G2x Baseband so that may have something to do with it.
Hi people, how are you. I still can't find a ROM to stick with. For those who have tested many roms, which one is the most complete package? Fewest bugs and most stable?
Right now I'm on EB 2.3.3 and it's really nice, but I got a few errors (lost connectivity, txt took forever to receive). It hasn't happened since, and I hope it stays this way.
So, what are you running, and why.

Depends on what u looking for, wish i could combine all, cm tweaks+froyo cam+froyo a2dp.
been on cm7 nightlies, birgertime 2.3.5, whitehawks MIUI and 2.3.3 OTA build, EagleBlood all of them, faux's from AOSP to right before he started to work on a CM7 source build, xboarder's stock tweaked...
Right now I'm on Whitehawk's 2.3.3 rom and I like it enough to stay with it, but really want kernel options and LG cam. EB froyo was super stable and still have that has my reliable (won't be near a computer to flash and play with roms) Nandroid. So I'd say stick with EB for now to be honest. That and he updates with the most stable updates IMO... infact I might be flashing back to that tonight, after thinking about it lol.
Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the latest MIUI? I loved it on my G2, but it seems really buggy for the G2X.

xboarder cm7/stock remix is the most stable i tried so far. right now im on weapon g2x which is good clean rom.
i just did the clockworkmod flash and done a full backup and was going to try a few roms without all the bloatware tmobile puts on.. but i HAVE to have a rom that is stable with wifi calling because i have 0 signal at home and wifi calling is very important to me.. in fact the stock wifi calling is kind of flaky on this g2x and would like a rom that might have this perfected a bit more.. any recomendations?

I have the same issue with no signal and needing wifi calling. without a doubt X-boarders stock tweaked is the best I have been on for stability and daily use. I havent been on the new weapon rom yet but I have been hearing good things about it. right now I am trying out faux new aosp with his OC kernel and for two days it has been solid. Only had one data drop so far. X-boarders is the way to go I think. I have been considering going back until Miui or CM7 is more solid.
