Did you ever compare it to Weapon G2x?
CM7 nightlies/faux123's CM7 kernel
I am running Weapon G2x with the stock kernel. This ROM has it all and everything works perfectly.

Running CM7 Nighltlies with the faux kernel, very stable and solid. I was running the CM7 Alpha 7 ROM on my sensation but decided to switch mack to the G2x. Must faster and smoother phone in my opinion and it feels more solid in my hand.
Am using my own mix based on stock and Weapon with stock kernel...

G2xTreme
I am running G2Xtreme 1.1.1v2 Faux's 0.1.3-ext4 kernel. Everything works great including the HDMI which was very important to me. I uninstalled cm7 146, WeaponG2x, eagleblood1.07, and trigger0822. Everyone of these great rom's had hdmi problems. But they are all great.
My Antutu benchmark score is 5561 at 1.2 mhz which is just below the Galaxy S 2. When I was running trigger with Faux's latest kernel ( can't remember what it was) my score was 5630 at 1.1mhz which scored me above the Galaxy. I have had this phone for about 6 weeks and didn't even know ROM's existed until i stumbled upon the android reddit page after two weeks of ownership. Now it seems I can flash a rom in my sleep! There is that much info in these forums! How to's and even youtube videos. Amazing, really, that android phones bring so many people together!
I haven't commented enough to post ( noob that I am ) in the dev forum so I would like to say THANK YOU to all the dev's and especially *renocivik* for his very stable, fast, stable, rom.

For those who are using weapon with no problems, has anyone had problems streaming an avi file through the hdmi ? It was very unstable for me. So now I'm curious to see if maybe it was just my plasma tv.
can you post a link to your rom
thanks

Faux GB kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
I switched from CM7 (faux sv kermel) to Weapon G2X (stock kernel) a couple of days ago. Had too many problems with CM7 connectivity - lost APN, no wifi calling, slow-no GPS lock etc. Most could be fixed with a hard reboot but I found myself rebooting multiple times a day. Gave up after I missed a couple of critical calls.
Weapon G2X seems to be stable. I liked the default layout/launcher etc built into CM7 a little better but with a little work and the Go Launcher I think I now prefer this ROM.
What are the known weaknesses of Weapon G2X btw? I went through the dedicated thread but couldn't really identify any weaknesses. Excuse me if this is a stupid question - I am a noob and still learning about this phone and Android in general having come from Blackberry just a month or so ago!
Cm7 nightly 160. Bluetooth finally works and it works flawlessly. Stock kernel for now.

Weapon no Kernel.
but I am thinking to switch back to EB CM7 + Faux, everything run faster with CM7 roms
CM7 nightly 161, stock kernel. Working good so far.
Been with CM7 ever since LG "bricked" my phone with their GB update and not updating their camera app to GB.
Had faux's 0.4.2 up to nightly 153, but had my APN disappearing and wifi dropping connection (appeared connected, but no data was getting through), so I switched back to stock. I have this problem in 158/160/161 + faux kernel.
I wonder if this is caused by CM7 going to 2.3.7 recently...
Currently running Cm7 Nightlies with Faux 4.2SV CM kernel. It's been pretty stable expect for the data & wifi dropping like mentioned before. But a simple reboot fixes it...and i don't mind rebooting either cos reboot only takes less than 20 secs.
Came from MiUi 1.9.30, which i must say is the fastest ROM i've ever had (atleast for me). Just got really tired of the iPhone look. Then switched to Weapon 2.6...but didn't really like the stock look and reboots took literally like more than 60secs. So i thot i'd try going back to CM7.
After trying miui, cm7, eagle, and trigger, (with various kernels) I settled on weapon. I used both versions of faux's kernel, but I got sick of the five minute boot time, so now I'm on the stock kernel.
I absolutely LOVE weapon. It's lacking some of the customization options of other roms, but the stability more than makes up for it.

Which one are you using??
I tried both but haven't seen a difference on either..
But overall there are some things that aren't working that made me go back to my previous rom.

I had a lot of FC's on Hellfire's initial build, tried the second version, it was a bit better but then switched to EB's version and everything seems to work. I also installed the latest Faux kernel to save on battery.
both have issues at the moment. remember this is just an alpha build so you will have issues. just give it about 2 - 3 months. right now i'm using HF GB 1.9. it is soooooooooo smooth that i haven't wanted to reflash ICS. IMO HF 1.9 is clearly the best GB ROM out there. also HFS was stable when I had it. I didn't have any issues with it. no FC or anything other than just the normal stuff not working.
I have been running HFS for several days now and it has been running very smoothly for an Alpha release. Looking forward to updates in the near future.
Have any of you tried self kang 3? Not to through the topic off course.
I think HFS is most stable of the two.
I have tried both. Right now, I prefer EB but that is just my preference. They are both fine roms.
Right now i just like the look of EB over HF
Hadn't tried Hellfire but I'm using eglesblood. Using it because don has more experience with ics cuz he has the nexus an everyone seems to like his rom on the gnex. Not saying it to bash hell, just that has less experience but I can see hell has a lot of potential.

HFS v.1.1
Haven't tried EB ICS, but am very happy with HFS. I've had no problems since I flashed it when it came out. My phone has an uptime of 4.5 days without a FC or glitch. Right now it's my daily driver till v1.2 comes out.

I'm using eb right now because its the most stable atm. I'm a big fan of hell's work so as soon as its as smooth as hellfire , I'm flashing It.

Faux kernel hasn't made any battery saving changes yet, just adding OC/UV and DS Driver
I just installed EB and it's pretty much perfect. Runs smooth as hell, and I love the new ICS stuff. I am having a huge issue with not being able to get any data connection though. I've read and re-read through the pages of the original post but couldn't find anyone mentioning this issue. I have tried to manually add the apn and it doesn't seem to save the settings. Has anyone else had this issue with EB? Does anyone have a simple fix for this issue?
Thanks for reading.
Both great
Both roms are great, ive used em both and currently running HFS, I wish the camera would get sorted out soon otherwise they are both pretty great.
Hello, everyone!
I have nothing but love for the HellFire ICS ROM, and have been using Hell's ROMs since Hellfire Phoenix 1.5.
I used EB for a while a few months back, but preferred the CM7 UI and stayed with that until I first tried the Hellfire ROMs.
I've noticed that EB ICS rom lags a bit when I hit the app drawer, not really a big deal, but gets annoying sometimes, I'm not sure if its the same for Hellfire?

I'm starting to get annoyed by my phone's habit of restarting mid call. I am using cyanogenmod 7, nightly 225. I cannot download the latest nightly (download is glitched).
For stability, what would the members of xda reccomend?
(at the same time as posting this, I am researching the pros and cons of various roms too)
For stability and reliability, use Bionix Reloaded v1.2.1 or v1.3. It is based off if the official 2.3.3 release from LG, so uses their drivers and whatnot.
If you want more speed and customization, I recommend EaglesBlood v2.8. It is based off of one of the lastest CM7 sources. I am currently using this and it works the same if not better, than Bionix. Battery life is slight less however, so I use Faux's kernel.
I would use ICS ROMS, but they're not yet to the point that I like. But based on the speed and commitment of our devs, they will be there soon.

I agree with this..
I have been using EB and it is by far one of the best ROMs I've used. This only issue I had was the SoD while charging overnight. But since I changed the screen to not sleep while charging I haven't had the issue as of yet. (Settings/Application/Development--check Stay Awake) I have also heard that raising the idle (or sleep??) CPU speed also helps, but I never tried that ...
I'm using whitehawkx aokp. I havent had any issues running faux's kernel. Morfics drained my battery in 4 hours and phone froze.

Why? The current nightly is far more stable than the last "stable" release.

They also have so many more updates than the last stable one, which was made in October.

I had been using CM7, but eventually grew unhappy with it. A number of programs, like Plants vs Zombies and T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail didn't work with it, and I found I needed to reboot the phone every once in a while to make data work, and occasionally the phone would not wake up after being charged and required a battery pull. So I switched to the OTA 2.3.3, which has, surprisingly, been very stable for me. Everything works, and the phone has not restarted (either by itself or be me) since I installed it. You could also try some of the ROMs based on the OTA, though I am not entirely sure which ones those are.
You can try my rom witg faux... it is stable.. not marketing just an advise..

A nightly (by definition) is not meant to be stable. If it was, it would be called 'Stable', not 'Nightly'.
It's not supposed to work 100% with full features and functions. They're known to have bugs. Any developer doesn't have to publish their nightly, or a beta, or an alpha. But they do because it helps tremendously with bug tracking, trouble shooting, problem solving, etc.
So when someone complains of a nightly or a release candidate NOT working, I simply point and laugh loudly at them.
I'm sorry if that sounds rude or harsh, but when someone uses a nightly, they should understand what that means.

I understand you completely when people blatantly bash a nightly - but that was not my goal. All i wanted to find was a stable rom, because (as you said) the latest nighties aren't exactly reliable. Of-course it's not 10000% stable, which is why i made this thread, to find a more "everyday driver" of a rom.
(not to be rude)
Thank you for all the reccomendations, i will try out a few rom's to see what i like best

EagledBlood v.2.8
I'm testing it all stock with no overclock, etc. and so far it's been pretty decent.
I was using EagleBlood ICS last week, but I need a reliable camera for daily pics of my kids and stuff. So that was out within a couple hours. Otherwise ICS is a really nice fresh change of pace. I been running many varients of 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 from CM7 to nearly everything in between.
So far, EaglesBlood has been very reliable
Let me try this simpler as no one replied.
What ROM and Kernel is your favorite combination for Gingerbread and/or ICS?
Any major bugs with a workaround?
And at one point I had an ICS ROM that let MX Player play with no choppiness but absolutely cannot remember which ROM I had flashed! Is anyone running ICS and able to playback videos? I keep reading and reading and not finding an answer on that one. I understand that it won't capture video, but that is ok. Anyone?
I'm currently using MIUI 204130 with the stock kernel underclocked to 816 to save battery but this ROM worked well with Faux's 052 also. So far this has been the best set up I've tried as far as stability, performance, and battery life.
I was also using TonyP's Paranoid Android (versions 6-10, haven't tried 11 yet) and was able to play video just fine using MX player without issues.
My favorite setup is what's in my Sig. Can't tell you about mx player, though, haven't tried it

I tried your setup, and it ran smooth. But I am dependant on Wifi Calling APP and it seems when I activate it I get "process com.android.phone has stopped, every 20-30 secs. I tried setting up with stock CM9 kernel, as well as older Harsh kernerls. Still same issue so swapped back to Hellfire Phenoix 2.3 w/ Fauxs 052.
Any suggestions on the com.android.phone crash? I can't find a definite fix on the Development forums. I had this issue with Hellfire Sandwhich as well.
Think there is an issue with Tmo Wifi calling app and ICS.

You really don't need super charger with that combination. I have the same and I find no lag when multi tasking.
At OP, if interested in ics. Try paranoid Android. It's a hybrid phone/tablet ROM.it's default kernel is good enough but you can try harsh kernel with it as well.

I've browsed the forums and can't find any where that people are talking about roms they love. I would love no data drops. Good battery. I like touch wiz and aosp both. I read someone said something about freeze.. being god but couldn't figure out what he was refering to. . Suggestions? Kernel combinations?

Thanks msn.I just tried the latest synergy and had data issues like crazy....I'll take a look for that line though. Thanks
Synergy or clean Rom for touch wiz, liquid smooth for aosp. And imoseyons kernel on either of them
ive only given AOKP and paranoid android much use lately.
id venture to say that for everday general use any ROM posted here is stable enough.
they all have their quirks, but to call, text, browse, game and send emails all ROMs will do those tasks effeciently enough.
ive always (always) done clean installs though.
To be honest the stock rooted image is also plenty fast and of course stable. This is already a pretty fast phone.

Cleanrom 2.5 stable, great battery, and customizable install options. Then find the thread here on xda to install Google now and you will feel like your almost running JB.
I've been running CM10 since M1 and it's been 100% stable. I've had no issues with call volume or data drops or anything of the sort. I'm on M2 with Nova launcher now and it's even better.
The 10/14 nightly was iffy for me though. My phone wouldn't boot. There were a lot of kernel upgrades so it could be because I'm also using leankernel.
Battery lasts a good 12 hours with about 2.5 hours of screen time with moderate use. Web browsing, E-mail, texting, etc. With mostly Wi-Fi.
Bean's has been great. I haven't had GPS until using this ROM. Great battery life, smooth, cool features. I am really impressed with this.
