[Q] stock android rom?

hi guys im new to the galaxy s 4g, i just got it today and im looking for a complete stock version of android. froyo or gingerbread. i would rather have gingerbread but i cant find one lol. also how come i dont see a cm7 one? well if u guys can send me a link i would appreciate that. i looked in the development section and i didnt see a stock android one. also are they buggy or have any issues? i like this phone to be fast cause stock is laggy plus i dont like touchwiz. thanks

There is no cm7 rom as of yet. If your looking for a completely stock rom your phone came with one but if you want a super smooth fast rom look for the icbinb rom by team acid.

well i just want the stock build of gingerbread like the nexus s has. i dont want touchwiz at all.. its too laggy for me. i was hoping there was a stock build of gingerbread thats why i got this phone. but i guess i can wait for cm7 to get a rom going. thanks though

I am trying to do the same thing on my phone. My sister-in-law works for google and got one of the Nexus S phones that google gave away as a christmas present to all the employees and I wanted to get a copy of their ROM on my phone. Unfortunately, she has Verizon and gave her phone away to another co-worker who needed another one before I was able to snag it up from her I don't want to use some program that just flashes the new OS on top of the old one... That lags the phone and doesn't really do the trick (Like running windows modulator in Mac OsX.) I want to wipe the phone and load Android 3.2 onto my phone... anyone help please?!

If you don't like Touchwiz, you can install another launcher from the market, like Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Touchwiz is mostly just a launcher, it doesn't really slow down the phone.
If your phone is laggy, I'd try rooting it, and then uninstalling some of the bloat that comes on the stock rom.

just flash icbinb for froyo. delete tw after you get another launcher. i would say for a lightweight one, try zeam launcher

[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] What would you use in place of a CM ROM?

So I bought a tablet and am going to be using it for most things.Android and can let my G2x go back to being a full fledged phone. I really miss being able to use Bluetooth.
So for the ROM I need BT calling to work as well as WIfi Calling
I don't want to go as far as stock, possibly rooted stock, Was wondering what non-CM ROM you would choose any why? I've always used CM ROMs. Not sure what to use now.
Yes, this is a personal opinion question.

My guess is, that you flashed to the latest Baseband. You could always revert back to the Jul 15, 2011 Baseband via the KDZ method. I have found that the CM GB ROM's are more polished and feature-rich than any of the stock ROMS that exist.
If going back to Stock is your only recourse, I believe there are 2 modified Stock ROM's based on the new Baseband that you will want to take a look at. One is by KWES and the other is by BURU (I believe). I am most positive KWES has one out there though. Have a look in the DEV section and make sure you're looking for 2.3.4 ROM's. As far as Kernels for said ROM's, I think you're looking at using stock or some of FAUX's early .9 kernels (v0.13 I believe).

Yeah pretty much what he said. The most stable and reliable would be any modded stock ROM by kwes or myself.

I am getting ready to flash them today. Just picking out correct kernel's.
Ill try both and see what i live.

Running buru now. I'll run it for a 48hr test drive, than kewes and make a pick.
I just don't wanna mess with the entire kdz to flash to a lower BB to run CM7 with BT, something tells me I'm gonna miss CM7 in the long run. lol

Hah I know what you mean .
I would suggest to also stick with stock kernel if you sun into any problems. They actually did a decent job on it.

Pretty pleased so far. With ADW launcher and Magic Locker I've gained into ths stock ROM what I used most in CM7. Apps handle a lot of those things for me. SD Booster and Swapper as well.
I am using faux 014b2 kernel with your ROM buru. Simply fast. Happy so far. Thank you!

[Q] Which mod should I use?

Hello, I'm interested in modding my G2X but there seems to be so many choices that I'm unsure of which one to use. I want something that's completely stable, I can't really afford to have my phone break permanently or constantly crash. Also will the Google play store still work with these mods? Thanks for your help!

Hellfire phoenix 2.3.7 with the patched stock camera for cm7. I have recently switched to this and really like it! Plus there is a new update coming soon for the phoenix.

Alright thank you, I was leaning towards that anyways. Is there a specific guide out there that would show me exactly how to go from stock 2.3.4 to Hellfire Phoenix 2.3.7?

I would say go with eglesblood 2.3.7 along with the 3.0 kernel for gb. I say this because more more stock then hellfire and generally has less force closes
