Hmmm... which is the best to use right now?

personally, i would wait until there is an official release, or teamwhiskey or team acid roll out with their own flavor to gb. there are a lot of issues with the leaked versions and many of them are tough to fix. icbinb, audiphile, frost, etc are all amazing roms for 2.2.1, and i would say its worth the wait. i would rather have a custom gb than one with problems because i dont want my gb experience to be ruined. just my thought though.

well i got the very first kf1 gingerbread rom the second it came out and to this date i have had little to no issues, just the same as in froyo maybe less, ive had less force closes so im really not sure why everyone says their full of bugs...but hey maybe im just not looking in the right places

np i did promise u guys it and just cause some users are immature im not going to wrek it for the whole because of the few.. I will after its posted ask the mods to kindly lock the thread if you guys want support theres the Mirc channel and other ways to get ahold of me

I am also looking forward to your rom.
I need some stable ROM for my sister's sgs4g and it should be stable for her to use day to day.
she is going to university and far far away from me to help out in case of trouble.
I am looking forward to your rom.
Thanks a lot .

Have had absolutely no problems with this one. Love it---simple and smooth. I miss my Vibrant though, but gave it to my daughter. This one should hold me until SGS2, as I fully expect the Dev's to do there magic as more source is released.

I know we all have been waiting patiently but seriously we need to push the devs into making them. Or the wait can go forever.

I'm currently in the process with chrisch1974 of testing VIRTUOUS UNITY ROM on the MT4GS, it will take a little while but we're making strides and it will be worth it!
it seems no one is satisfied with what we have or the work and hours of development myself or ck23 have put into our roms. And if our roms aren't "Proper ROMs" then I will be more then happy to seize development. It's really getting to the point of me not wanting to dev for this device at all. People just don't get what it takes to get cm7 or miui to this device and I'm sick of seeing these threads that don't belong in the development section. FYI WE DON'T HAVE KERNEL SOURCE AS OF YET. HOW CAN WE HAVE AN AOSP ROM WITHOUT AN AOSP KERNEL, AND IF THERE IS NO KERNEL SOURCE HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE A KERNEL? But for the time being I'm done developing for this device. And apparently my unproper roms are worthless as romanbb has said.

i Agree dude guys no ome is Satisfied with what we have and the projects we are starting just because we havent boasted about them doesnt mean nothing in the Works i Dev for another device i also have work and school and im the minister of music for my church i have ALOt going on and until Roman gets his Phone its just me and Undead seriously people over the years ive been a member of XDA this is the main cause why devs leave the forums or stop dev'ing//
well, for what it's worth I think that both Undead and computerKid are awesome for what they've done and continue to do! Some people just don't appreciate what goes into getting this stuff done. By no means am i a developer or anything like that, but i *understand the process and hat's off to both of you for your work!
My theory is that the more the merrier. I'm running undeadk9's supercharged ROM as my daily and it's fantastic. Both Undead and CK23 deserve all the respect in the world for what they've done for us, especially on getting the ball rolling and being willing to go where the rest of us don't even dare. CM7, MIUI, and Virtuous are ROMs we all know and are comfortable with, and I think most people coming from other phones want what they were comfortable with. The stock MT4GS ROM is great and all the tweaks the devs have done so far are amazing! I am willing to help anyone who is willing to put forth the effort. That being said, there are so many parts about certain ROMs that I love, obviously they make vanilla and chocolate for a reason, but I say keep going and just ignore all the stupid people on here - cause trust me - there are a LOT of them!
What I said was not a stab at you or ck.... Or anyone. I don't know why you're stopping development over something that someone said.
I'm sure everyone would love to not see you stop putting out roms.
On that note, just remember that there's 1 hater for every 10 people who enjoy your work and the haters are the vocal ones. Don't let the people who may speak up affect you.

I must completly agree Roman...and my personal opinion to this is when there is coming more development to the doubleshot it is really worth. This will help to improve all ROMs on this device.

Woah! Love this phone.

After dropping my first captivate in a river early this year, I finally got a new one a couple weeks ago.
I must say things have changed a lot around here, after reading for a few days I am finally caught back up on everything I missed
Awesome job guys, thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into keeping this phone current and awesome. I can't see myself upgrading for a while

has anyone taken a look at the alpha available on pirate bay? i wanna know how to install it and if its legit. I can't post it cause i'm a new poster
There are already a lot of ICS threads on here. I believe the A6 ROM was posted on the "ICS ported to i897" thread in the development section.

I would never go there for roms.
I am running A6 as we speak which I got from these forums.
Camera doesn't work (for video or pictures)
SU doesn't work (haven't toyed with workaround yet)
3g (I am trying work arounds now, doesn't work by default)
Still a really impressive interface to play around with, and I think I can live with the cons for a little while until a more stable rom gets hosted. I will say I am in love with this os though.
The interface alone is so modern and fresh feeling I can't entirely explain it.
kjdoug............THIS is the only site you need to mod your captivate. forget any torrent site when it comes to the OS on your phone.
BTW welcome to the forum! READ lots, you will learn, also there are a lot of top notch guys on here that will help you out.

Waiting for more of the bugs to be worked out before I flash it. I use my phone for work so it has to be almost 100% stable

Yes I would recommend the CM9 version (or working towards it) if you want to try out ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
The 3g works without any manipulations, almost everything works as a matter of fact. Calendar sync did need some .apk switched in to get calendar working in beta2 but at least for me in beta3 I didn't have to redo anything. All my apps from tibu work and download correctly. It just seems to be very smooth.
PS. I also upgraded to the ATT SGS2 and love it but I also have my cappy as backup and love messing with all the roms for it still. Basically testing it all out. Plus I am pleasantly surprised that the cappy got ICS before the SGS2.

yahh I'm on the Beta 1 dev version, I feel it is smoother, there is no need for scripts anymore, everything works without doing extra flashes(besides kernel and superuser). I get much better battery life out of this one too! The one from DemonWav's thread.

Coming from the Captivate..what's with the lack of ROMs for the Atrix 2?

Barely any action in here..will this phone ever get CM9?
lol if you wanted roms just stick with your phone. A2 is a great phone even without roms -.- BTW i like your name lol it should be thrown away for not doing its research before buying a phone. We have great devs working on A2 and they have manage to create great roms.
It is not about quantity it is about quality ^_^v

How can you have quality when there is nothing?
did you look at the dev section? Guess not. Our devs are working very hard to improve the existing rom atm. If you are not satisfied with your A2 atm why did you get it?
Cm7 and cm9 are being worked on. If you happen to be a dev, I'm sure your help would be appreciated.

I still have my good ol cappy and i really like it. But although our bootloaders are locked and we dont have much for roms it is still a very nice device despite these things. Im running our supercharged atrix rom and it performs very well. Faster than my cappy for sure and faster than my old nexus s and thats without all the bells and whistles weve come to love about custom roms. In time im sure we will have unlocked bootloaders and way more. Until then im trying to find updates to help us all with project cheesecake. The more people that look the better chance we have of truly unleashing this bad boy. You can help if you want. Check the dev section and look for unlocking bootloaders. Sorry about no link. Mobile right now. Who knows? Maybe youll find the update we need with a unlocked bootloader and you can free us all. Kinda makes ya think huh

Complete CM7 & MIUI

Hi everybody!
Maybe I can seem really annoying but, since we're waiting for kernel 3, cannot devs focus on CM7 or miui in order to let camera record videos?
I think it is a good idea and it won't oblige anybody to upgrade to ics if they simply dont want! (for example I dont like the "speed" of ics and prefer gb actually)
I hope this tread will mean something for someone
Regards.

That's a nice thought there. CM9 still has a lot of bugs in it and there is still a lot of work to be done. The ICS roms need kernel 3.x as you know and hillbeast is doing great. It I have been following the kernel 3.x development thread and it seems that hillbeast would have a the device booting soon. For devs like dhiru it would be too tedious to work on CM7 as he is already working on CM9 and the kernel. CM9 is pretty smooth and the camera occasionally force closes.
Yes I do agree with you when you say users should not be pushed to use ICS. Hope cm7 finds devs working on the camera.
CM9 is the future.. It will take the same effort to fix bugs on CM7 as on CM9..
Asking a dev to work on CM7 with CM9 development at its current state is pretty unnecessary, and I don't think any dev would even be interested. Why would anybody work on something that's supposed to be fizzing out..
As dhiru said,working on CM7 is double works for him.He is also busy with his life now.And yes,who don't want a fully complete rom? But developers are human like we too.You cannot say that now they are waiting for kernel 3.0,therefore they have time now. No, they need to spend time to their friends, family, their study etc..Lastly, the most important is they work for the community with no salary. We should appreciate their work rather than keep demand to them.

so you think that once kernel 3.0 will be out, they don't have any kind of "life"?
i said that, it's a good choice to complete cm7 and this period of "tranquillity" is the best one, since it's "freer" than once kernel out.

getting a fully stable aosp rom is like a dream which will never come true for us. I know I am saying in a very negative way but its a fact guys that we have very few developers who also want some help from other top developers of other community who are damn busy with their development & they even dont know that a phone whose name is "galaxy SL" exist in mobile world. My friends also said me many times that they know galaxy s, s2, s3, ace & many more phones but they haven't heared anything about galaxy SL phone.
Its all about plenty of developers needed for good development which we are lacing from 1st day of release of this phone. I am emotinally attached with this phone & our community members, developers & thats why I use my phone with full of interest Otherwise I would have sold it so many days ago.
Regarding cm7, cm9, miui or any aosp rom I will only say this much that if any develoer will make hd video recording working then just within a week we will get official cm7, cm9...etc. But in my opinion it will never happen. We have to always live with a phone having good aosp rom but with lots bugs....ALWAYS...!
Agree with the essence of this topic.
We, i9003 users, don't have a custom ROM, that is bugfree.
I am willing to donate to whoever would spend time and effort to make "video recording" work on a custom ROM. Again, I'm not a developer and am not sure if this is even possible. I used to be a good c and java programmer about 12 years ago, but haven't been coding since then.
On the other hand, I'm also willing to wait for kernel 3 and make sure we have the latest stuff for our phones.
JMHO
I honestly think OP is right. We need to have a Rom that is bugfree. That way, many people won't feel bad going back to those stock ROMs which are nothing but a headache being slow and awful to work with and to look at. Most people just want a bugfree AOSP ROM.
On another note, it will be a pain for the devs (Dhiru), who promised us CM9. Nobody wants to do those things which they weren't supposed to. It will also be a pain for the community to donate a device to another dev. Seeing the chance of the Sense 4.0 donation request from many people, i don't think there are so many people in this community who can make it up for donating 2 phones in really short intervals, or at similar time.
And for the blow, Jellybean 4.1 is gonna be here anytime. SDK (And Sources too, i think) will be released today (Remember, first CM9 started with SDK builds), and update will be pushed to phones such as Nexus and Galaxy S3 in Mid July. So now, should the devs should still concentrate on fixing GB bugs? Or should the fix the CM9 bugs first? Or should they start porting Jellybean?
Just my POV.
I guess pushing for jellybean would be pushing too far(unless a dev dares to differ). I'll be content with a bugfree ICS ROM.

That's so negative.
CM9 is nearly bug free, (Except current known bugs), so no it's not a dream..
I kinda agree with OP, but not only hllbeast is working on kernel 3.x, dhiru and crack(-can't remember) are working on it too, so they're not "free".

CM7 bugs could be a very little one... But if no developer does anything we cannot do anything.
Gb is very very very good for our phone and without 3.0 ics is pretty unstable...
If developers can do CM7 why spend time with ics that needs 3.0?
First finish CM7 then, once kernel out, ics!

Developers here, do this development for the sheer excitement of it, not for money.
I can see people are very excited about CM9 and ICS. Developers are people too, and do what excites them or what feels like a challenge.
It's quite similar to what happens when you get a new phone. I had a nokia E63, which i used to love and did use/try every feature/app for that phone. But, I rarely do anything except make phone calls from that device now. All my excitement is for my first android 9003.
Just an analogy to explain why excitement has died. Hope it makes sense.

All we can do is hope an official ICS release is made for the G2X or the O2X so we actually get hardware acceleration...
i know everyone wants an official ICS release but there are plenty of ICS roms for our phone, whats so special about a CM9 one? they all have the same drawbacks so really its just a matter of preference. and since cyanogen makes roms for just about every single phone out there he cant take the time to customize one for our phone, thats why i think the devs here make better roms

Aren't you the beta tester for someone on these threads? You should learn a little more before saying things that are incorrect to the public... Yes our group for the G2X is doing some awesome work, but none of those are actually usable for a lot of us. I use my phone actually, alot and ICS is no where near usable, I don't even record or anything but even taking a picture and exiting out the app a certain way will cause for a reboot to be able to take a picture again... and like monkee said, Ricardo (Cm_arcee) is the CM dev for our phone and almost if not all LG line of phones. If CM team were to release an official RC it would be with fully working everything at least. That's why we were excited with it, compared to what is available now.

Cyanogenmod is split into teams. Ricardo works on our phone and he's the one that made ics even possible for us. As great as our devs are, they're all using his fixes.

totally forgot about arcee and as far as all the roms here using his fixes i dont see that as completely true as there are some roms here that are using AOSP pure so not using CM at all. unless (and this may be possible) his fixes are getting added into the code upstream then in a round about way those using AOSP would be using his fixes

and yeah im a beta tester for Genesis and what did i say that was incorrect? and just because im a beta tester does not necessarily mean i know everything there is to know about android, but i know enough. i didnt mean to offend CM or people who love CM, but ive used it as well and really it just comes down to preferences. i truly dont think that CM is the be-all-end-all of G2x roms...thats all im saying
and why would anyone think that when CM releases a rom that it will be error free or have all features? i've been using 7.2 and for a few releases bluetooth call audio isnt working and that is the case with 7.2 stable, so your argument about having everything working doesnt hold any water
Don't mean to sound like I'm bashing you but I don't mind spreading the knowledge I've gained over the years of basic rooting and android...
None of what you see except for the OTA stock based roms are doable without the CM team... EB AOSP included. It says on their 1st page "A BIG THANKS TO CM-TEAM for they're amazing work without these guys hard work and great features none of this would be possible for me..." it's just how it is, Steve (cyanogen) Kondik has been at it since the G1 days... so CM is pretty much the "be-all-end-all of G2x roms" if your phone didn't function well on stock... every phone is like that, not just the G2X, other wise we will have stock based roms with tweaks here and there but making the lock screens and coding them out to where they function like they do is mostly and all Cyanogen... This is what I've gathered over the years if I'm wrong about some of it, I wouldn't surprised... Since I've been rooting and everything for the past 4 years, I should be a Dev by now but I'm too lazy for that plus work, school and a social life, I don't have the patience either haha.
7.2 stable is not stable but it is about 100X more stable then CM9 in my eyes and lots others, some people have no issue with it being the way it is but I'm super picky and 23 years old, I go out a lot and answer lots of calls, need stable battery those sorts of things, ICS is none of what I need or want on the G2X... also why I'm switching phones shortly.
again I didn't mean to attack, just opinionated I guess lol.
no worries, i didnt take it that way, im pretty opinionated as well
and you have great points about how you use your phone and what you need from it. i guess thats where i need to make a mental note that not everyone here uses their phone the same way and want different things from it and the software that runs on it
and i did not in anyway mean for my posts to sound like i was bashing cyanogen (dont know him well enough to call him Steve LOL). what they do is incredible and they (and all the other devs here) make flashing our phones fun (at least for me)
i think this can be let go, no harm no foul?

I told everyone that Ricardo promises to port it as soon as he gets his hands on it. I had a long conversation with a friend last night about these fauxm9 ROMs. If you read my interview with Ricardo you would know he totally regrets his decision to release this crap. Source has even been pulled from cm. Our "CM9" source is a pile of app breaking hacks. I have the upmost respect for our devs, it is not their fault, but they have put soooo many band aids on this turd that I've noticed stability diminishing with each release. Too many patches, no real fixes. If anyone has noticed, ics releases have slowed dramatically. On the other hand, CM7 is on the brink of perfection, yet nobody's doing any kangs. What's left on CM7, blue tooth? I'm sure if devs worked on it they could figure it out in no time. Anyway, that's my opinion, and it's formed from pretty good sources.
I'm sure everyone knows what great friends mt3g and I are, but I stand by his his last comments. CM9 doesn't exist for our phone. Period.

Couldn't agree more .
Right! I love ICS and CM9, but fact is, these latest kangs of kanged kangs are soooo unstable it's comical they're being released. Focus should turn to CM7 until cm or lg releases something for ICS. Trust me, LG has to do ics for the O2x, it will be here soon enough.
