Best Rom to run without issues of stock G2X

Hi, I don't own a G2X but my friends do. Their both having data connectivity issues and random rebooting. One has leaked gingerbread rom and one has stock rom. I've given them new sim cards but still same problem. Can anyone recommend a good stable-ish Rom that can take care of these issues? I was looking at the Eagleblood 2.3.4 Rom any feedback?
Thanks for the help!

I'm having great results with the Ultimate G2X 1.0 rom. Its fast/snappy/responsive, very stable, everything works, great theme.
I've tried the CM7 nightlies and they're pretty darn good, but still enoight quirks that I'll stick with Ultimate for now as my main rom.

Here's a link to the Ultimate thread

EB 1.0.4 with Faux's Kernel

EB 1.0.5 with faux kernel, it's friggen awesome!

I will also chime in for EB 1.05 (the froyo based rom) with faux's kernal. I tried out Ultimate 1.0 on my phone, but I was getting a bunch of FC's and "zombie widgets." I doubt it was a problem with the rom itself...it seems to be an awesome rom. But I run SPB Shell 3D, and I think maybe there was some kind of incompatibility with the theming. I don't know...but I tried and tried, and finally just gave up and went back to the EB because...well, it simply works. I haven't had a single problem with it.

I want to try that out, but I think you have to flash other stuff with that as well? Like gapps? Little confusing for me since I'm pretty much a newb at this stuff

if youre looking for stability i use fauxs oc stock kernel with stock rom. all other roms at this point cause different issues. mainly games not working such as nova saying wrong version or not updating for me. stock wouldn't be my choice for looks but everything seems to work and OC kernel with Go Launcher EX and its new app drawer animations make it pretty cool.
p.s. everytime i try a rom then go back to stock i get a bunch of text messages that for some reason always never get recieved when using other roms as well.

I was new to this stuff like u about a week ago. I really like eaglesblood and you probably wont need a kernel. Eaglesblood fixed the issues I had. Oh BTW I'm using 1.0.5 if u were wondering

All of the 2.3.x roms have issues, not the developers fault, it is because the roms are based off a leaked early GB rom and are missing some of the drivers/features.
To me working BT and GPS are necessary features in a "best" rom, so I look to the froyo based roms, currently my every day rom is team Shockwave's Dark Sinister Rom.
If BT & GPS are not important, then Eagleblood Rom with Faux's OC Kernal is relatively issue free.

not all gingerbread roms are based on leak like for instace cm and faux isnt

thank you guys will try out eagles blood prbly

im using fauxes rom & kernel, im a happy camper

HMMMM I have ultimate ROM now, for some reason I'm confused of what kernel to install? Anyone can post me the link of which one works well (for battery life), I really still getting horrible battery life...

Who did not update to GB?

I kinda feel left out. It seems everyone has updated or at least tried to update to the Gingerbread release on LGs site.
But after reading how many people had complications or even bricked their phone, I decided not to try and update, hoping that an official "over the air" update will come from tmobile.
Am I the only one that decided it's to risky to try the update and is still on Froyo? Who else has concerns like mines?

I have not either. So far it seems more trouble than it's worth... Waiting on a good, stable release of GB from the devs!

Also waiting for a CM7 without driver issues. EaglesBlood Froyo til then.

I did not update. I've waited this long.. might as well wait for the official T-Mobile version.

Haven't updated either...I'm running xboarder's GB 2.3.4 and it's pretty stable...still get sod and have overheating issues but they don't happen often.
I want to try out the new update and baseband but don't want to brick my phone as so many have done, so ill just wait a littlebit longer...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Me neither. I wait for a flashable version with new LG drivers and baseband.

I have not either I'm waiting for the Ota...I'm still trying to find out if the update everyone is using is really official or not.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I haven't updated either, mine is the LGP999DWP phone and it keeps saying that my software is up to date. when I read the forums and see how many people are having issues updating to it, i am somewhat glad i can't update right now...wiating for the OTA from T-Mobile I hope they deploy it soon.

i'm also waiting for CM7 to get the latest drivers. but cm7 is already running 2.3.4 so i don't see any reason to downgrade to 2.3.3. from what i have been reading, my cm7 is equal to being as stable as the "OTA". it works great for me.

What GB update?
Lol. Its a downgrade from CM7. While it is nice sometimes to "just work" but my G2x is pretty good on CM7. Occassionally does a nightly give me fits.

Pretty much this. After using CM7 for so long, then using the newest Gingerbread leak, it just felt so wierd.

Faux123 for Dev *Join the revolution*

yea me neither plus the new miui rom for the g2x is sick

I have not. I tried but the LG updater freezes in Vista.

No update here. I am staying with froyo Dark &Sinister with Faux's kernel. I will only change after the Faux and the other developers incorporate this release inbto their work.
Why didn't LG update to 2.3.4 and skip 2.3.3?

Consensus seems to be that this is still just a development build. Also, given the amount of time it takes to test a ROM on a phone and the frequency that Google updates their OS, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the final shipped version is still 2.3.3.

Which ROM?

Lots of people seem to be recommending MIUI... but what else is good that's out there, besides CM?

Miui is great but..
Miui (whitehawx) is pretty good. But there is so much things to mess around with. I currently have G2xTreme GB 2.3.3 v.5. It is simple with all the bloater gone.

Can post the link to that rom? Thanks.

Try this rom for amazing stability, while retaining the graphical aspect of 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). It's a mix of CM7 and AOSP made by Faux123. If you're looking for straight up stock check out this for a slimmed down, and speedier version of the OTA.

[Q] Question about the newest nightlies?

Ok im a sense ui lover, and recently tried the new nightlies for a couple of weeks and im rather enjoying the stableness of it over the sense roms. now my question is with this nightlies build im on it says 2.3.7 something like that. i noticed on kernal manager lite that v9 and scary are for 2.3.5... will that cause a issue. im currently on nightlies build 214.
Update: also which kernal is more stable and better overall

Difference between 2.3.5 - 2.3.7 google wallet support for the Nexus S. And a few updated core apps and security fixes. Nothing much else as far as I can tell. The 2.3.5 kernels work perfect.
And PershootV9 is probably the best kernel available to date. It's updated and its amazing

Mind you that each shift is different because of the different hardware versions floating out there. Tiamat is unstable and Perfshoot is a horrible performer for me, meanwhile, ScaryKernel rocks on my phone. Best thing to do is try each kernel and find out which performs the best for your phone.

Scary Stable runs great on every nightly I've flashed.

ok thank you guys for the awesome tips. im running V9 right now but i might switch because its a little schetchy when i try to increase the cpu. apps tend to crash and the phone locks up. so im updating to 216 (215 must have been BAD lol) then i will pop scary one and give that a whirl.
quick question. do i have to wipe Dcache and cache 3x each before flashing new rom??

Try Walking the cpu up don't just install and set as high as feel. Work it up higher slowly. You should be able to hit at least 1.7

I didn't test everything. I was mainly curious to see if the calling was clear. I didn't keep it on long as ics roms have sucky data for me.
As for video, I don't believe it works on any ics rom. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't really keep up with them because of the data issues.

From my testing, BT does not work on the latest EB AOSP 4.0.4 build 4 release.

also, FFC is upside down on new baseband.
personally, i'd stick with rooted stock or CM7 if your one V21Y. at least until doniqcc irons out the wrinkles. i flashed last night and restored my CM7 backup this morning after going overnight from unbelievably GOOD battery life on CM7 to unbelievably BAD battery life on EB. but it is nice knowing that good things are down the pipe for the G2x. dont lose hope for a fully functioning ICS =]
