Intrigued by 1.92 oc. Which kernel/rom combo is best for that support?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
To be honest its not advisable to get to 1.92. Too unstable and performance gains over 1.4 are minimal. If you want fast, run perfect storm 1.4 with ziggys kernel oc to 1.4. Gingerbread roms are nice but unstable and the accompanying radio is horrendous. Finally the gb kernels are not good yet since the source has not dropped.

Thanks! I waited for the lg revolution and that thing is a total bust. Excited!

I personally like Imoseyon's kernels best. Lots of good ROMs available. Play with your options and see what suits you best.
Is the Netflix app available for non gingerbread roms?

I don't believe so. If you're asking because of the radio issue, check out CM7. It's Gingerbread and has a working Netflix but without the brick risk.

Aren't there inoperable features in that though? And will any oc gb kernel work with it?

It's not prefect, but no rom is. The main problems are:
1) toggling from wifi to mobile data requires a reboot, although there are reports that this has been fixed
2) some people experience buggy data connections while many do not
Not any kernel will work but Imoseyon's does and is quite good (arguably better than on Sense roms). There are others as well.
While it's pushed as pre-alpha, it's plenty stable enough to run as a daily driver. Many people do. I would rather run it than a Sense 2.1 rom.

I've been using CM7 for about a week now, there was an update on Saturday that fixed the wi-fi and data connections work fine. Only problem I noticed was going into an "Extended Network" area caused 3G to drop, but if you enable international data roaming it connects back to 3G.

I am an avid fan of both omfgb and cm7, but found omfgb to be more efficient in the data handoff since its release.
I live in an area with both 3g and 4g but also use wifi at work and home. Omfgb seems to handle the switching better, but its not perfect as we all know how difficult the ril merge is turning out to be.
My question is that now cm7 is using the gb radio, is the data switching better than its earlier builds and is it working better than omfgb. I will try a cm7 attempt but am interested from an anecdotal and technical perspective.

Slayher is working with xoomdev for their ril so they're similar minus what xoomdev did before he started talking to Slayher.. notice how they both started supporting MR2 radios at the same time because they'really working together

Yes, I've see their activity and am impressed. Aside from rom stability and features, does either rom have an advantage over the other with data handoff. I guess that is my question. I've tried cm7 in the past and found the there was too much manual switching of settings so I switched to omfgb and found that data handoff was better, but I am wondering how the new radio plays into things.

I guess ymmv, but I only had to toggle once after a reboot on CM7 with MR2, and my speeds are as fast as when I bought the phone.. I've heard stories both ways though so I guess it's dependent on you lol

There's been a lot of discussion about the low WiFi signal from most, if not all, of the Gingerbread builds. Many have speculated that it's simply a display issue and not a performance one.
My wife has a stock ROM (Froyo) and I have the GB build KH1. I did a test comparison of both the WiFi download speeds and the 4G performance.
The KH1 ROM *way* underperformed the Froyo one -- to the point where her stock ROM was at least 2-3x as fast as the KH1 build. 4G performed similarly. WiFi Analyzer also showed a huge difference in signal strength.
I then installed the KH2 modem and tried the same experiment and while it improved it somewhat, it was still woefully lacking in speed over the stock Froyo ROM.
With that said, has anyone found a prior modem build that works better than what's been released recently? This is a huge issue for me and while I love the GB build, to lose that much connectivity speed is troublesome.
There is a thread with all the modems on them, check the bible, you can flash each one to see which is best for you.

I don't think its a modem issue with gb. I've tried them all, wifi still sucks.

Yeah not much you can do here, there will be more leaks..as wifi is still horrible and unacceptable for such an expensive phone..samsung just have to get it right!!
Thanks for the info and confirmation. I was afraid that we'd have to wait for the CM7 release. I've tried several of the modem releases and nothing has worked any better.

I just jumped in neck deep and flashed the latest GB rom KII, Doc's new kernel and was surprised at my wifi speeds. before on stock froyo my wifi was sluggish and intermittent. Now as a matter of fact my whole phone is faster, very snappy. I'm very happy seems like I got a new phone with a duel core cpu
Thanks to all!
Are there any ROMS biult upon 2.3.7 yet? I'm currently running GSInfuse, and I like the ROM, but I would prefer running the latest version of Android. (I always like having the latest and greatest kernel, OS, and modem on my phone).
Cm7 runs 2.3.7
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Can I O/C CM7, or run my own Kernel? I personally like to keep up to date with the latest modems, and I'm running Kernel Infusion-GB-CoreA. If I can't OC it to at least 1.6 GHz, I won't run it.
cm7 has a built in oc kernel which does go to 1.6ghz. you can not run other gingerbread kernels on it that arent meant for cm7.
Cool on the Kernel, but can I install new modems to the ROM? I'm currently running KK3, and the speed is great.

Yes, I'm running KK3 on CM7 -- working flawlessly.
One caution though if you're considering CM7 -- bluetooth doesn't work, and won't work any time soon...
If that's a deal-breaker for you, then don't bother with CM7.
I've learned to live without my BT headset, because I cannot live without CM7
U can overclock to 1.6 on cm7 but it'll crash or at least mine did. 1.4 works tho.

Wish they could fix it. $250+ tickets for not using BT makes me have to have it. Loved CM7 on my captivate.
CM7 Bluetooth works, just not with all devices (headsets in particular). Wiimotes work perfectly and it also pairs with my computers.
bluetooth data works, bluetooth audio doesnt.
Cm7 says 2.3.7 but its actually 2.3.4....2.3.6 is the highest unofficial firmware we have

MIUI is 2.3.7 and there is now one built with ICS framework. It still has the same issues with Bluetooth audio though.

the miui build is based off the cm7 build. you will still run into issues like bluetooth audio. so keep that in mind.

According to the OP, the torch is supposed to be a working feature. However, I have not been able to get mine to work at all. Was just curious if this was an oversight or something I should correct on my device?
Additionally, I would like to know what a safe and stable OC speed would be for my Inspire 4G.... I'm a bit of a speed-freak but do not want to jeopardise anything.

Are you sure your camera LED's are in good working condition? Speed wise, you can overclock it to almost anything you want. If it is overclocked too much, your phone will just freeze and you might have to format everything to ROM default to get out of it. I think you can go up to 1.2 if I remember correct. I always underclock my ROM so that it saves on battery.
EDIT: I found out that it is an issue with the ROM, follow this thread in DHD, you might need a different kernel.

Also, I'm still playing with safer speed limits but the difference has made my lead thumbs a little happier. 1420 looked good lol.
As for the torch, I'm too up to my neck with commissioned artwork to reflash so I'll use the lazy fix and use my video flash/LED if I just must have one.

Go to a Gingerbread rom until the G2X gets a fully working ICS/Jellybean port. I'd recommend CM7 Nightlies.

Simple mobile runs perfect on my phone, just got with them a week ago and everything works. On temasek(?)'s latest ROM.
Benefits of cm7? Lol too many to list.
cm7 or a cm7 based variant is definitely the most operable option for the g2x at the moment in terms of every day usability and stability. I don't really know why you would be particularly against using it so if you care to detail why you don't like it aside from the fact that its gingerbread based perhaps we could help you to consider juny. eb ics may well be the reason you're having the problems you're having, a lot of the ics/jb variant roms have data drop issues. if you haven't and are deadset on using an ics/jb rom, try paranoid android, kashmalaga, or the hackfest roms.
