[Q] new to this device but what is the best rom?

i went from sensation to g2x so I'm back here again but what is the best rom rite now? its been a long time so yea i don't know but you can you guys tell me

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I use CM7 as well, works great for me, but I really like ASOP and have used CM on my past 7 phones

First off, update the device with the LG Software Updater so you'll get the new baseband. Then you can flash any gingerbread ROM you'd like, and keep the new baseband.

From my experience I have tried xboarders 1.2.2, eaglesblood both 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, and of course CM7. They are all great roms. I have not used MIUI yet or any others but have heard good things about all of them. A Rom is really going to come down to personal preference. I am currently rockin CM7 and it is awesome! If you want to customize the look of your phone I would highly recommend giving CM7 a try. Remember, when installing CM7 to also install google gapps. That will allow you to link your google account to your phone. Try all the roms out. Once you have root it is super easy to flash whatever rom you want.

[Q] upgraded to a G2x expecting awesomness? =]

I am just posting this because i recently came from a Mytouch 4g. I got sick of HTC sense so now im going pure stock android. Just posting this because i know nothing about roms and such for this phone. Just wondering if someone could help me out which rom i should use, kernels, tricks, etc.... any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome. Like I tell all newcomers to the G2x, this phone has its bugs, but with the right combination of rom and kernel, this thing can be a beauty. I personally am using a pre-rooted stock OTA GB along with faux123 0.1.3 kernel. However, all phones are different and so are users, so you will have to experiment to find out what works best for you and your phone. Have fun.

Thanks for info. as soon as my G2x comes in the mail i will be trying various roms and kernels to find out whats right for me.

Nice =)
I'm running the stock ROM and I love this phone! There are bugs but for raw performance and features this phone is awesome. It also helps that I paid nothing for it!

awesome!
Also how do you get that google banner under your name?

Well CM7 is always a good bet. Ive had great experiences with Weapon rom which is a more stock LG rom with tweaks.
MIUI is also working awesome. Im using 0.8.19 MIUI from the rom forum.
You'll need to NVFlash first which only takes a second. This installs a good clockworkmod recovery.
Then just download roms to SD and flash away.
No root required to start flashing. All custom roms have root access.

I had a friend make the banner for me, and he doesn't like other people using his work without his permission. But if you're trying to get your own banner, you just need to edit your signature, and insert the image.

My personal reviews:
CM Nexus 2.3.5: great rom, close to stock
Eaglesblood: lots of features
CM7: not for me, felt laggy
OMGB: fast and speedy, really close to stock with some nice features, but couldn't get data to work
Weapon: couldn't get data to work on my phone, I view it as Eaglesblood
MIUI: great, fast. ran into problems with battery life. Must of been the kernel.
Xboarder's Stock 2.3.3 rom: The current rom i'm using, quick, fast, and the closest to stock you're gonna get.
Hope this helps

Weapon G2X with faux's kernel is the best in my opinion. I'm getting 10+ hrs of battery even at 1.4 GHZ

New like you
I got my G2x in November and like you never messed with any ROM's or Kernels, basically never had a phone worth rooting so I never bothered to learn anything about it. Once I read the beginners guide on installing NVflash and CWM, I began flashing like crazy. I really liked CM7 and I am anxiously awaiting CM9. I got the fastest benchmark test with Eaglesblood and an OC kernal, but I just flashed this-
RG2x-MIUI v1.12.23 and so far I love it. I've never used MIUI before and so far it has been extremely smooth and looks awesome. This has the faux kernel built in and the benchmark test was almost as good as Eaglesblood. I did flash the CM7 camera and the Bravia hack and now the camera works as good as the stock GB one. However I don't think Wifi calling works. Hope that helps, I know you'll have fun like I did flashing all the different flavors out there!

Im using Eaglesblood with Faux123 0.4.7. Its really smooth no lag. Ive tried others but i always seem to come back to this one

I'm running weapon 3 with faux123 0.1.3 kernel at 1.4ghz and it runs great its fast and smooth and I get great battery life. I have also used miui and its a great rom as well.

Fitsnugly's CM7 Kang paired with either Faux or Trinity kernel is best for me.

[Q] Rooting G2x question?

Hey guys,
One of my friends has the G2x for T-Mobile. I recommended she root her phone to possibly fix some issues she has been experiencing. Since most likely I will be rooting the phone for her, I have a few questions:
1. Touch screen unresponsive (will rooting help better the touch sensitivity)?
2. Low memory, as a result her phone freezes alot (bloatware), rooting should free memory?
3. Best method of rooting (link would be appreciated)?
4. Best/Top G2x Roms for daily driver (gingerbread)?
Any other G2x specific niche I should be looking into?
I want to root, setup and let the phone loose. I don't want to keep flashing and fix etc... I'm looking for (a) stability, (b) battery life, thanks in advance

For battery life, flash a morfic kernel and for stability and flash pheonixblood, or cm7 based eaglesblood rom
On mobile so can't provide link, use nvflash to put cwm recovery and when u flash the roms they are already rooted.
Never had screen unresponsive issues so I can't help there.
Also after you flash any rom u decide, download getril (free) from market to match ur ril so u don't have any baseband issues.
Also another rom alternative is is weapon g2x 3.0 then flash the new clip by kwes right after. Really stable, just not as stable.
Hope this helps

thats the thread i used and it was super easy... as for roms ive only used hellfire pheonix1.8-1.9-and 2.0. i liked 2.0 the best.. there is other kernels as mentioned to help with speed. hellfire pheonix2.0 has fauxs kernel built in and can OC to 1.4.. im running hellfire sandwich 1.3 right now and for a beta ICS its pretty damn smooth. still has alot of work to go but its good enough for daily use for me.. hope this helped.

Thanks guys

Yeah whatever you do, don't flash ics for here, unless you want her to keep bugging u.

[Q] Just don't want a brick

I'm an Idiot sorry
I have SGS4G
Model SGH-T959V
Firm 2.2.1
Baseband T959VUVKD1
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build Froyo.VUVKD1
Used superoneclick to root Have ROM Toolbox(free)app but i think thats breaking one of the ten comandments My Quadrant Stad is about 1250
Just need to know if i can speed it up because its still pretty laggy. Read the nooby guide to flashing custom Rom just dont know where im at in the list of things to do.
Wish I came here first and didn't watch all that Youtube crap because you guys know what your doing.
Question is do I have gingerbread on my phone should I attempt to flash now and is Rom Toolbox ok to have it seemed to speed up my phone a little?

You're on froyo. Read this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716
That guide will tell you everything you need to go from froyo to gb
As far as rom toolbox that is a neat app but going to GB and using a rom will speed up your phone more.

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol

You are on froyo and you are thonking of Rom manager which dont work with this device. I would recommend vahala final by Raver or SCOM by Erikmm both are great roms very smooth and free of lag. There are others but i would stick with one of them till you learn more. They are easy to install just READ and do lots of it. As far ad quadrent scores they are just benchmarks dont really mean much, before i rooted i would get a score of 900 now i get about 2500 and im running SCOM . Most everyone here is friendly and willing to help so just ask and remember to READ

If you're wanting to upgrade via Kies Mini, then yes; you will have to. There are ROMs, though, in the Development section that are stock if that's what you're wanting.

Any Help please! :)

Ok so before i start, i just want to say "no i am not asking for which rom is better etc, so dont go on closing threads" xD ok so here i go..
Ive been searching for a good gingerbread rom better than stock..ive tried ics but the encrypted errors are not my thing. So i tried serendipity it work well..but its not based on kk4... heres my question? are roms based on kk4 better than other older ones? I dont know much about the diferences in that or about audience chips, voodoo etc.. I do notice some roms seem to have brighter colors than others..any sugestion as to what is the diferences..thanks in advance

The standard suggestion and one I subscribe to is you have to try them out to see what is best for You and Your phone.
I use Legend 4 and am completely happy with it but that is just me. It meets the things I think are important. Which does not mean others are worse or better. But then, I don't worry about if there is one out there that does something wonderful if I don't need or use it.

here's breakdown
KK4 based - my ROM is one of the best.
Overall GB ROMs - Apex ROM (ported from i9000 I think) with KK4 kernel and modem.
KK4 stock has many annoying bugs - browser scroll, gallery etc

Thanks. this is what i was talking about. I wasnt sure if i flash other roms left behind without kk4 did that meant they were slower or whatever..or did by them being kk4 did it meant it should be less laggier or whatsoever... im just a flasher..not that sure of what diference does kk whatsoever do to roms..

Go with CM7 if you really want to go for!!!
