Which one is right for you?

So i am familiar with flashing phones somewhat. Used to jailbreak iphones but lost interest since the iphail screen broke and was just a POS in general. Been using a blackjack2 ever since which never failed me till recent.
Big upgrade to the inspire so even ATT Rom would be "WOW" to me. Question is how do i know what rom to flash. Which one is right for me. So many out there.
I am looking to flash the phone and then unlock it but what rom has the least amount of glitches that is running pretty smooth and allows all functions to be used.
Was lurking around for a bit and saw this.

roms are chosen by preference really the only way to find a rom that best suits you is to try them all till you find 1 that you like
now the link that you posted is the rom that i first went with & never looked back try it out & see how you like it

yea from what i have been reading this is confusing and its down to personal preff. Quiet honestly i dont want to keep switching things even though its not that hard.
I was searching and also found that leedroid is praised upon but i think leedroid is just better than stock with the bloatware out plus a few added bonuses vs the link i provided is loaded compared to leedroid.
Not sure on what to do here. I dont mind the battery life staying where its at. An increase would deff be good but its my first nice phone in a while so i want to enjoy it.

I like sense. So I am biased towards sense based roms. But leedroids has been on my phone the longest. I have tried 4 others and of course a stock that I ripped out all the bloat. I keep returning to leedriod. the dudes rom is amazing
Make a rom back up of each and that way you can just return to what you like the most.

Was looking into CM7 as well but seems that its too dumbed down for me. Now im in between coredroid and leedroid...

I have never even tried CM7 - Something just doesnt interest me about it. So Ican;t sway you. But really man, just make a back up of what you have now. Don't like the new one recover. If you like the new one, make a back up of it and try another. Its saves time and you can try em all. I'm a Rom Junkie tho so...Lol

CM7 is very nice I had it for a while and its nice. The problem with CM7 nightly is you will flash alot because they have alot of updates Im currently using MIUI and Im absolutely LOVING IT!!!!! I was using LeeDroid before and it was also AMAZING. I just love how MIUI have alot of themes to go with it and the UI.

Oh Sir let me tell you it is worth it With all the themes and all you will like it. I guarantee it.

More updates meaning it has glitches that need to be resolved?...so what makes sense to me is leedroid is more reliable...

Yes or just updates making it better. Yes to me LeeDroid was my favorite Sense ROM. Like that guy said you can just try every ROM and see which one fits you best.

yea try more than one rom. add some rcmix kingdom in there. sense 3.0 is slick. but its pretty alpha (stable enough im still using v 0.1 daily)
dont matter just use some sense and backup before making changes. if your txts are that important, dont forget to back them up too.

I've got to second this - I haven't used MIUI yet, but LeeDroid is the best rom I've used yet. I've tried CM7 and Android Revolution.

I have been liking this rom a lot:

Thinking about getting this phone, but dev section seems dead why?

I was thinking about selling my Vibrant and buying a G2x, but the dev section seems to be pretty dead. Any reason why wasnt this CMs personal phone at one time?

I think part of it is LG's quick memory regarding it. Quick as in quick to forget it, and Nvidia won't release driver source so devs are forced to reuse the 2.3.3 release in order to get 100% functionality.

Some devs don't post updates on xda. Some of them give updatea via twitter or other sites. But it's not dead.

Does anyone know if they will ever release new drivers? So basically until they do which is most likely never this phone has been as updated as possible? I noticed CM7 is still updating which means 2.3.6 so is there much chance of ICS? Finally who are some good people to follow on twitter for good roms? Thanks a ton guys!

due to overall problems
I believe there were many more developers that planned on developing for the g2x and bought the device to do so as i did.
But with so may problems at the start i just didnt want to even attempt to rom for this device and be blamed when the phone self destructed. after much tampering it is running pretty well but i just dont trust the phone and im sure there are some others that didnt work on the G2X for the same reason. There are some very good options out there and talented people that are working on the G2x. so dont be afraid due to low quanity because there is some high quality work done.
Not sure it will grow much since its been obvious that tmobile and lg's fix for the phone is to shutup until it goes away. But the roms have the phone running pretty well and you wont be disapointed, But i would wait until oct 12th and get the hercules(even without the samsung chip) will be a killer phone or the HTC coming out the same day with similar specs.

This phone works fabulously with CyanogenMod, EXCEPT that bluetooth audio (to a wireless headset or whatever) doesn't work.
Other than that, EVEYRYTHING works. Love this phone.

Well that's disappointing to hear that I probably will never see ICS running on this device. It's a very capable device and the fact that LG refuses to update makes me want to put them in the same category as Viewsonic (unfortunately I also bought the g-tablet).

will be the best hope to get icecream running. if they do so than other rommers will also follow suite. but cm leads the way on drivers and such for most roms. so if they dont do it ussually noone does. But i wouldnt expect to see anything from LG, they have not shown anything in the way of skill or care to put out updates for their devices.

Because there ate stable ROMs out there and you can only do so much. Other lively dev sections ate deceiving - 20 variations of the stock ROM with different wallpapers and start up screens does not mean a lot of development for the phone.

I've been running cm7 for about a month now and I'm really happy with it. Every other rom I try have issues and I always come back to cm7. It makes the g2x a very good phone IMO

There are plenty of devs to follow just some took some time off to dev for other devices ... I follow fitsnugly because he does some great compiling with his roms ... Morfic has some awesome kernals and faux123 has his aosp rom and awesome kernals... doniqq has his eaglesblood roms ... whitehawkx has weapon rom... so there's plenty ... I'm a crackflasher so I'm always running something different .... I felt the same way ..Was thinking of jumping ship to a different phone but I just live this phone... Just look around the forum.. there's always somthing ...

One of the basic things I had to decide on was whether I wanted the LG camera app with an OTA based rom or all the fancy-ness of a CM7 based rom. Now I'm at the point where I just group OTA or CM7 and go from there.

I know what you mean... I use my camera often... Work and personal use and at one point was running cm7 and was comparing the different can apps from the market ... My wife thought I was going nuts , I was sitting in my living room taking pics for like an hour and a half and comparing pics... There are some pretty good free camera apps that I've used with cm7.. vignette is pretty good...

Yup. Work and personal for me too. I tried a few market apps but I just couldn't find something that I was happy with. It was kind of a deal breaker for me considering I really wanted to stick to CM7 for the ridiculous theme/customization options out there.

Swift Star is out, another new ROM. Several out there to try. I prefer those based on 2.3.3 OTA

I was running this rom up until 5 minutes ago... I just reflashed fitsnuglys 9/27 kang... Dont get me wrong the 2.3.3 roms are great... There's just something about the cm7 and the kangs that I like... There's always something new added to them and for me they seem to make my phone run better ... Sure there's no LG camera but there's plenty of camera market apps..

Yeah, I see updates for ROMs pretty often, every 5-10days, that's a good release period, and if you want to use a ROM that is constantly being developed just run CM7, a lot of people say it's not good with battery but if you flash one of morfics kernels you will have great battery life. Some people run into issues with it but if you wipe everything you should be fine. Faux's AOSP Rom+Kernel run great together also.

While development might have slowed down a bit for this phone, there's still plenty of excellent devs and roms to choose from. I have always preferred faux's aosp rom/kernel combo for my daily stable/very reliable/great performing/battery life.
Now if you want to see no development look no further then the mytouch4g slide thread. That's just sad cuz even the og mt4g has tons of devs working on it and its still a great phone.

Recommendations for ROM on Sensation

I've been using AndroidRevolution ever since I've bought the phone and I want to change over to something new.
Any suggestions? Having no sense doesn't bother me since I feel it chews a lot of memory on the phone.
Not sure what other roms are popular on the sensation

Hi,
Go HERE
Look for a thread that starts with [ROM] ,then check the views and replies...

RC1 of the cyanogenmod 9 is just released for the sensation. If you don't want sense and ice cream sandwich I would reccomend to use that one

The Best ROM I ever tried is Aokp eye candy it lives up to its name! Its different. It has tons of customization you can do! It even has ROM control. You can set your cpu profiles and even adjust colors! It comes with the newest beats where you can set profiles for the sound too! Other roms come with beats but I was never able to set profiles or adjust it infact I never even saw anything to do with beats other than a splash screen. This ROM is really different. Looks different, behaves different, is different. only thing I didn't like was the keyboard so I switches it out with a swipe keyboard from playstore. I really like swipe. Problem solved. This ROM is beautiful down to the phone dialer, to incomming calls expect something different! I feel in love with Aokp the first time I used it. Everyone is different and thats why there are different Roms to
Fit different tastes so try a few out and see what you like. But give this a try for sure and see for yourself what im talking about. i do think its a wonderfully different beautifully custom Rom. But you need to try several out and find what's right for you! Best of luck. Its best to try many so you can expirence different things. They all are great, its a matter of personal taste. Happy flashing and do give aokp eye candy a try. Its truely amazing! It took me awhile before I tried it and I wish I found it sooner! Just updated last night to the newest version 2.6. All I can say is its awesome! Find the ROM that suits you. Again please try out several so you can see what's avaiable. Also its sense less! Aroma installer,and the customization is incredible you really have to try it! I think you will love it! I know I do!

Yet another thread which has resorted to comparing ROM's. how many times do you guys need to hear it from devs, DONT compare roms, it is rude and offensive to devs.
To the OP, the only advise I will give is this, the only way which you will find the best ROM for you is to try them yourself because whats best for someone else might not be best for you, so experiment and try out different ROM's and see which one you like best.

HTC G2 or LG G2x?

Hey, everyone. I just joined these forums because it seems to be a very large network. I am thinking about purchasing a smart phone. I have two options as of now, and those are the G2X and the G2. I don't care if it has a physical keyboard or if its touchscreen, as long as it works fine, I don't care. Specs-wise, I LOVE the G2X, it seems like a nice budget phone. After doing minimal research, I came across countless threads in various forums of G2X users complaining that they were getting overheated batteries, two crashes a day, random reboots, etc.
These threads were from a while ago, so I was wondering if they found a solution to this.. I know a little about rooting and custom ROM's, and I will probably do that, and get ICS on my G2x/G2. I love the looks of the G2X and how it works, etc. The only problem is I don't want it to crash. I then started looking at the G2.
I like the G2 as well, but its a VERY old phone. It still has 4G, but I am a little concerned about the hinge. The battery life seems great and all as well..
Bottom line is that both phones are very great. I prefer the G2X since it is newer, faster, and has a lot more features. Only problem is that people KEEP saying that it crashes or that LG sucks. I was thinking about picking up a used phone off of Ebay or whatever.. Can you guys tell me what you think? I REALLY want the G2x, but if its gonna crash, I will go with the G2. If the solution to the problem on the G2X is as simple as rooting the phone and installing CM9, I will go for it.. PLEASE REPLY!
Thanks in advance.

It depends on what you need. I personally like the G2X, I have no idea why. I've rooted, and installed CM9 on many G2X's. I like the screen, and it's pretty speedy. But the crashes? I can't say it's ever happened to me. It's a nice budget phone, and does daily task perfectly.
The G2 has well over 100 Roms, and has a huge Dev Team. It's been worked on by so many people. The design is classic, the speed is wonderful for a single core phone. It's a great phone, with many great things. This phone showed off how amazing HTC was (Now they suck). There's a lot of Mods, and Kernels to make battery last all day easy. I don't know what else to say, outside its a good phone.

Thanks for the reply.. Yeah, the G2X sounds like a great phone.. I just can't have the crashes happen. LG got a lot of **** for it, and seems like it caused a huge uproar. I will probably go with the G2 for now. If you don't mind, can you tell me which mods and roms are the best? Like I don't want any that aren't stable.. I am not the person looking for stuff that is the latest and greatest. As long as I can get a stable ROM of ICS on it, and prolong the battery, i'm a happy camper!
Thanks again!

Not really sure. Personally AOKP, and what ever the latest Kernel is.

Hmm... okay. After posting in other forums, I have suddenly interested in the G2X again. According to a few people, the G2X has a brilliant dev team behind it that is constantly posting new ROM's. I will only ever flash to a stable ROM. A few others said that because of all the custom ROM's coming out, it makes the G2X "bearable." Please tell me if you think the same as well.. Maybe all of the complaints I have been seeing were outdated.

G2 has insane dev go with it

I dont know about g2x; but I have used G2 and it's a great phone. It's not the fastest phone; but, it's been stable for me and got a pretty good battery life. Devs seemed great too; so, I'd say go with G2 (especially if you like physical keyboard )

I've used the G2x and I have never had any of those issues. Its incredibly fast and performs quite well. Its also does have great development going on.

G2x is okay but its LG vs htc

Okay, I ordered a G2! It should be coming in a day or two. I know how to root it, and I also bought a 32 GB Micro SD card. I'm gonna root it this week, which seems really easy. Only problem is the I have no clue which ROM to choose. I just want a stable version of ICS.. That has a working camera and camcorder. If you guys can tell me which ROM and Kernel or whatever to use, that would be great. Btw, I know nothing about ROM's and kernels, LOL. So if you can give me links to which ones to use, I will follow them!

Just looking for a super stable Daily Driver thats pretty for a friend who geting S2

I trying sell S2 to this girl I work with who I like a lot she awesome. Anyway she offered me 100 bucks for it (I got a S3)
even though I love the phone whats point in extra beside testing apks and testing my rom making abilitys on ... hehe which arn't great
Anyways whats a really good stable rom? Beside stock? I was thinking just give back to her stock but I want her to get the battery life tweaks from a rooted phone so im thinking Detoxed Debloat Stock JB rom or maybe even ICS
What do you think? That or I was looking at SkyIce and Embyro but bolth got bugs in them and I dunno what she might use phone for.
Really I assume she just facebooks a TON and message her friends a lot. Oh and she speaks spanish too so anyway

This kind of thread will probably get flamed/trolled but i'll give my input anyway..
CM10
Embryo
Wouldn't bother with Sky as the developer moved on to a different phone.

Here's what I would do if I where you:
You stated you really like her so flash it back to stock. Then tell her there are other ROM's for the phone that she might like better. Invite her over and flash a few for her to test out. She'll think your smart and if you manage to make her laugh a few times during the process she might even think your funny. Trust me those are two attributes that chicks really dig in guys. If all goes well she'll find a ROM that she likes and you'll have a chance to ask her out again.

Asking whats stable daily driver is subjective to every user and end up more oftne than not in arguments and flame wars. I recommend you flash something you've used in the past or what guy above me suggested.
