Best Rom out so far????

What do you think the best rom out for the G2x in your opinion is and state why
(I thought this would be a good thread to easily choose a rom without reflashing and getting different users opinions would be good too soo......)

at the moment, i'm using
[ROM] (v1.2.5) Nexus AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.4 - Faux123
&
[Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.41] (v0.2.4) OC~1500MHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/EXT4 [Jun-21-2011]
and it makes my phone hella leet :x (no glitches, or freeze ups or anything retarded)
the other roms were too glitchy for me so i ended up using faux's
give it a try!

All the GB Roms have issues of some sort from limitations that the dev's can't get past until they get updates from LG. I think both EaglesBlood 1.05 and Ultimate Rom are the best, just buttery smooth both of them with absolutely no issues.

I've tried them all. I keep trying the GB based roms over and over again, thinking "it's going to be better this time," because I love the way the keyboard (even swype) has the placeholder for moving the curser. But it always ends with the same issues. I MUCH prefer the camera in the froyo roms to that in the GB's. For some reason, even though benchmarks may show otherwise, the froyo roms SEEM to move faster and smoother from task to task. Perhaps the froyo roms leave me with more available ram to play with...not sure.
Anyway, the Ultimate Rom is a fantastic rom. But I prefer to use EB 1.05 with the honeycomb theme from 1.04. I just love having the blue radio and battery icons, rather than the green ones. I always end up back at the EB 1.05 rom. It's 100% stable, no reboots, no freezing or forced battery pulls, no wacky battery life issues, etc. I don't bother with overclocking anymore...I'm more into undervolting so that I can get maximum useability of the feature-set, yet still get good battery life.

I agree how eaglesblood froyo is a nice smooth fast rom with better camera and i tried all the 2.3 roms i think that Faux's AOSP rom is the top rom for g2x with 2.3
and I also agree that until 2.3 is officially we will see a huge progression in better roms im just hoping for a sense 3.0 rom personally

I have tried several ROMs on this phone and they all bring their own strengths/weaknesses. I use A2DP daily and i like the HDMI out option (use about once a week) so I landed on the GB Leak (the 2.3.4 ROMs are missing this at the time). I know it can be a bit buggy for some however I have had zero issues with it. I'm sticking with this for now until the other ROMs are fully functional or until the official release of GB comes out.

For me, its stock. I've tried all roms and frankly my phone runs the best on stock. I've unrooted and am waiting for the gb ota. The real fun will begin when the official gb update comes out. I too am hoping for a sense 3.0 rom. My brothers Droid incredible runs it very well and it is sooo nice looking.

[Q] What ROMS would yall recommend??

Currently I am running the G2x Weapon ROM with the Faux kernel and i was looking to change up. Besides CM7 and maybe MIUI what ROMS would everybody either recommend or prefer??

Well this thread will get closed pretty fast as Rom choice is a matter of opinion.
In my experiences:
Weapon is the most stable with everything running the equivalent of stock with a few extras. I haven't tried EaglesBlood in a while or several others.
CM7 is CM7. MIUI is MIUI.
Whitehaux, the creator of Weapon, also ports MIUI. MIUI was my daily driver for a while and it works great but lacks WiFi Calling. The last MIUI build is wonky so I flipped back to CM7... and it is surprisingly working very well, but I'm having an issue with my Market downloading certain things.
Just depends on what you want. I would start with Eaglesblood and a few others. Then try Weapon. Then play with MIUI and CM7 and see which one you prefer to live with.
Stock and Stable or Wild and Crazy?
[EDIT]
Didn't see you were on Weapon already. I have to have toggles in my drop down menu. Going to a rom with no toggles is torture, but there is a sweet looking rom over where MIUI is that looks pretty slick. It lacks toggles though, so I won't flash it.
Weapon, MIUI, and CM7 are my 3 choices.

Yeah Weapon is really good. Hey Player, what turned you off MIUI?

CM7
/10char

The 10.21 build gave me hella problems. Restarts and random bootloops. I kept having to flash it over itself... then eventually my wifi errored out and when I tried turning it off... it would instantly reset. I flashed several miui versions and kernels but required a wipe to clear.
At that point I needed my phone so I flashed CM7 and just stuck with it.
All in all, miui was ported but no one really focuses on it to make things work. It gets updated to the latest weekly but nothing more. Slowly things broke and weren't fixed. The newer the rom the worse it got IMO.
However I flashed the same 10.21 version and same kernel from my SD to my friends and he said he hasn't had any issues. So I don't know. Maybe its my phone. CM7 isn't MIUI but I have an ICS theme which makes me happy.
There is a new dev solely focusing on MIUI for the G2x and fixing the bugs. So maybe ill switch back on day.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

[Q] Best ICS Rom for G2X?

I have been running the HFS rom since v1, and for the most part it's been very nice. However, I was saddened to learn today that the dev will not be working on the g2x anymore. I know there are a few other ICS roms available, but I do not know a whole lot about them as I've mostly been in the HFS forum. If this dev does in fact leave, which ROM would you recommend for replacement (ICS only plz) and why? (highlights and lowlights to be aware of??)
Thanks!! (hopefully this information will help out a lot of people)

I could be wrong but didn't the HellFire ROMs come from the Phoenix Blood ROMs? If they did then they took queues from EaglesBlood. That would be the one I would recommend. I am currently on a Gingerbread MIUI ROM but anytime I want to used a CM based ROM I always go with EaglesBlood because it has always seemed really stable and gets good battery life. The dev also is quick to respond and does his best to fix any problems. Just as an FYI there are 2 versions of EaglesBlood ICS:
This one is based off of the AOSP source code Here
This one is based off of the CyanogenMod CM9 source Here
Hope this helps!

I doubt hell is going to end his rom. All the cm9 based ROMs are about the same. AOKP is pretty nice. I like the clean and bare bones AOSP thing that eagle's blood has going on. Really these are just toys for now tho.

As of right now I would have to agree its been pretty stable for the past 26 hours for me.

as of now which one is the best?
i have been using eaglesblood build 3 however the camera doesnt work... wehre can i get Owain's CM9 KANG? any recommendations for a daily rom?

I'm a faithful user of Owain's ICS builds. I've had issues, but nothing I couldn't live with.

I don't know where you heard that hell is not working on the g2x. He's still putting out updates consistently and it has been getting a lot better, we're getting linaro next build!

That was posted over two months ago and at the time some drama between various users started and future development of HFS was in question

you got that right thats what im running

I have tried both EB and HFS and I really like both but HFS had a few more options but in my opinion EB runs a bit smoother

i've used pretty much all the ICS roms on here and by far the best have been Genesis and HFS

I'm not sure if I like Domination or HFS better because I haven't used HFS since 1.7 and I've been on Domination for quite sometime now. I'll be on HFS once the next update comes out. HFS has always been a favorite of mine, but Owain's ROM tempted me over and I've been on it since.
Genesis is really cool, but I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one.
I actually haven't tried EB since build 1. Maybe if I get bored, I'll switch to it again sometime, but I'm pretty happy with Domination and HFS.

In my opinion you just have to use some roms and find which fits your feel the best. I've went through maybe 3-4 ICS roms before finally sticking with ASOP 4.0.4 EaglesBlood for the (in my opinion) battery life and performance.

My phone loves Domination by Owain94, all others seem to not agree with mine so just try all of them and see what she likes

I agree. I tried HFS and it was really laggy on my phone. Performance wise eagles blood was much better.

[Q] HellFire Sandwich vs EAGLESBLOOD ICS AOSP

Which rom is more stable atm? I know hellfire sandwich is based on cm9 source from arcee, who released his APLHA code.......apparently that alpha source code of his had fair amount of bugs (Although I am not sure how many of it is fixed/worked around in HFS, can someone compile a list of know issues for hellfire sandwich for me if that isnt too much work? )
According to EBICS, they had the rom built from aosp, isnt that supposed to be cleaner with less issues? On top of that, nvidia just released the tegra sdk i believe.....should we expect some major performance improvement/bug fixes in the near future for both of the rom?
what do you guys think?

First, nobodies going to give a list of what does and doesnt work, just read the last 5-10 pages of the thread, and the first post and youll get an idea of what does and does not work.
Second, HFS is simply a tweaked version of arcee's CM9 (with bugfixes and other things in there as well). EB-ICS is AOSP, that means it's source code is a HEAVILY modified version of stock android 4.0.4. (this does not include the things like RIL and other things that they borrowed from CM9 to get the rom working) EB-ICS may also have many of their own mods that bring alot of the customization and functionality of CM9 back, but it will not have most of the CM9 settings your used to.
Its honestly just up to opinion at this point. i cant tell you which is more stable, youll most likely have to try them out for yourself.
also, NVIDIA DID NOT RELEASE THE SOURCE CODE YET!
that was just a version for a tegra development kit, and we cannot use any part of it for our phones, because the chips are different.
Hope that helps

AWWWWWW!!!!
And thank you for your help

EaglesBlood felt like it was faster to me. I went from HFS 1.4 to the CM9 based EB to EB AOSP to HFS 1.6. I probably like EB more, but HFS has some tweaks that make it a slightly more enjoyable experience.
They're both great, though. As soon as a new build of EB is released, I'll go back to that and probably just hop back and forth between ROMs between builds.

+1 for Eaglesblood
I'm using Eaglesblood AOSP 5.5 and it is definitely more stable on my G2x than HFS 1.9 was. Hellfire Sandwich was not very responsive, and crashed and rebooted a lot (although at the time I had the old baseband). I would go with Eaglesblood hands down.

In my experience on my G2x, Eaglesblood ICS performs like ****. Hellfire Sandwich works great. EB always makes the phone unresponsive for a few minutes after I turn wireless on. I assume it's something to do with all the apps updating and syncing at once, but I never have this problem with HF. I have to reboot the phone at least once every 48 hours or the alarm clock stops working. I'll sit there and watch it pass the time it is supposed to go off and it doesn't (This has resulted in me missing an early morning class - NOT happy). Various apps crash more often on EB, and sometimes it seems as if the whole OS crashes, when the app disappears and the launcher is also gone.

My own personal experience, Hellfire anything over EGB anything. Whether ICS or GB.

From my personal experiences, I would have to suggest Temasek's GB ROM (build 135.1) for your GB Pleasures, and TonyP's ParanoidAndriod JB Flavored ICS Build 11, or Genesis ICS 8/1/12 Build. Both rock the ICS world.
I can't use any ICS build currently, as I depend on WiFi calling to be mostly stable for me, and I have found that only in the GB Roms at this time.

Looking for a general consensus...

First off, shout out to all the amazing Devs. I envy you for what you can do.
So I was looking for some feedback on what you guys run on your G2x's for custom roms and kernels.
I've played with alot and keep finding myself going back to a GB 2.3.7 ROM.
For GB I have personally used:
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Phenoix v2.2 and just went to v2.3 on launch.
A Rooted stock 2.3.4
Atm I am running cm7-kang-G2x-135
I've never messed with a nightly before, but I love it so far.
Most of the time I use faux's kernels.
For ICS:
Paranoid Android JB Flavored
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Sandwich (loved it for about 5min, than non stop FC on com.phone.android, uninstalled)
Genesis
Domination
MIUI_G2x_V4
So I was just curious what setups your running and if your happy with them.
I wish I could get a modded rom that supported bluetooth. Making I'm not looking in the right place? I know all CM7 based BT doesn't work. Anyone have an ICS ROM that will playback video ok? I had MX Player running on one but I can't for the life of me remember which ROM it was, I've DL'd so many now.
