[Q] Best GPS/Nav rom - T-Mobile LG G2x

Ok, never needed to worry about gps before, so really didn't care which rom I flashed. Just recently go into Geocache with my son and need a well working gps rom. Seems like most of them have some issues. From what I can tell, I need a rom that still has the LG framework. Anyone have any input as to which rom is the best....thanks in advance

Looking for Stock Rom

Hi guys I'm looking for a stock 2.2 rom for my evo. I rooted it and did a nandroid back, and now the back will not load properly. please help me.
Do a search for SteelRom. It's a rooted stock Rom made by SteelH. Fully updated of I remember reading it right. I believe it's what you're looking for.

Thanks, I really appreciated.

Flash 10.2 a week early...

Here is the post with everything you need in it. I am not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone (shouldn't its from adobe).

Thanks a ton for this.

Something wrong with my phone.

OK so it seems my phone has an issue with any rom other than stock as I have tried them all and I have 3 things that happen: a. Phone will reboot on its on or b. The screen will go black with the buttons lit up. Or c. It will freeze on me. This is any rom other than bone stock. Any one know what could be the cause of this?

okay , your phone looks like hard to use.
what version/model is it ? is it possible you flashed GSM ROM to 4G Nexus S ? or 4G ROM to GSM ?
okay , your operator is AT&T , forget it ... it wouldn't be 4G
orginal MIUI and orginal CM7 , all the same ?
I haven't tried any miui roms but every rom I have tried has been for 9020s. I have tried bugles beast, NSCollab, oxygen, we scream for ice cream (which I fully expect to have issues but could not resist trying) , blanddroid, and nexusMV all with the same issue. I even tried several different kernels to see if that would make a difference but it didn't

There's a low chance your cpu can't take any voltages/frequencies outside stock kernel range. Because that black display/lit buttons thingy happens to me if I go too low on voltages or freq.
What are the stock voltage rages? So I can try that theory out?

Nexus has model of 9020S ??
i only heard about 9020A,F,T and 9023
default MIUI doesn't over/underclock or UV
To further update today I have been running a stock 2.3.7 rom made by drew garen that has been running well with no reboots, freezes or anything but again it is stock with the exception of being rooted and 2.3.7 instead 2.3.4 like my stock rom and the only reason I am running it instead of my actual stock one is for google wallet.

Nah, NS4G is running 2.3.7 as it includes the required NFC chip update to run Google wallet.
OK so even with that rom it has been acting stupid though not as bad then I went to my stock rom and again the same thing so I think I am just going to unroot and take it to best buy because I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have this much trouble
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Well I am completely stock and unrooted now and so far no problems so my question would now be did I just have a bad root or something? Should I retry rooting now that its back to original or should I take it to best buy and try to get them to replace it? I really like playing with rooted phones and trying different roms and stuff but it is kinda impractical when my phone won't handle it...that's why I am wondering if I had done something wrong maybe?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I have the NS4G but I've never had those issues on any ROM
Well after being unrooted since yesterday I am now no longer getting any freezes, black screens, or reboots. My question now is, did I possibly do something wrong in the root process that might have caused this problem?

Did you try re-rooting it?

I did just now using different more up to date rooting kit files then the ones I used before. I am going to stick with the stock rom for the rest of the day just rooted and see if the problem happens and then if it doesn't do like this then I may try running a custom rom and if this does not work I will unroot it again and throw the phone against a brick repeatedly so best buy will take the thing back as I tried taking it back today and i couldn't come up with a good enough reason for them too take it back it seems.
OK update time. Running stock rooted after unrooting and rooting (using a different root kit this time) I am having no issues what so ever and I even tried taxing the CPU by running app after app ran some heavy games and things of that nature with no restarts or freezes, however I tried NSCollab for a little while and it did act up though not as bad as before so I have gone back to stock rooted and everything is fine for now. I may try some other rom later but for now I am happy just to be rooted with no issues with the stock rom. I might try a less modded rom like buggles beast or oxygen net go round though other than not having the notification Widgets and reboot/recovery option when pressing the power button stock rooted does everything I want it too.

I think that problem could be kernel. Have you tried any customer kernels? Previously I had freeze issues and this so called 'morning coma', kernel fixed all those problems
while that could be the issue with that rom I think I have discovered my real problem could be something to do with titanium backup, either the program its self or one of my backed up apps. this morning on my stock rom it rebooted twice so I got to thinking and decided to do a wipe but instead of restoring my apps from titanium back up I just used the market website to send all of my apps to my phone and so far that seems to have fixed the issue. the only apps i did not re-install was amazon appstore (and a few games from there) rom manager, and titanium backup so I am assuming my problem is contained in one of those apps if I am no longer having the problem.
With titanium do you you just back up apps and app data? Or system data too?

Why can't I run stock roms??

I have a question. I can run ice roms and sense 3.5 toms just fine but when I try to run stock roms everything works great except that when I make or receive calls the person on the other end tells me that they can barely hear me that there is a lot of static and or noise like I am driving down the highway with.the windows down. Any idea why this is?? I always root every phone I get the first day I get it so I don't know if this problem was happening before root or not. Thanks in advance

What are the version numbers of the stock roms you are running? If they are desire hd roms then they will not have the correct sound files for the inspire 4g. There are really only 2 stock roms other than the one originally shipped on phone. 2.47.502.7 and 3.20.502.52
Right now I'm running superstock Rom but I have also ran the rooted stock Rom with sense 2.1. If its a problem with my phone then how come call quality is clear with ics or sense 3.5 roms???

It sounds like it isn't your phone since when the right files are installed it works right. Like I stated earlier just make sure the dev is actually using an inspire base when saying "stock Rom". Try and flashing the new Att Rom released on July 31st. And also be sure your wiping everything, (data, cache, dalvik and android.secure). You could even wipe system although all roms do it during installation. And don't flash anything on to it like inspire mod or sound fix. If it is still fail then I don't know what it could be.
Ok thanks will try it

4.3 for G2X?

Hey guys,
Soo... JB 4.3 is out, and seems quite interesting and worth upgrading to. So, I have a few questions:
1) Will it be worth for the devs to work on 4.3 for the P999?
2) Do you think there will be any roms for it?
3) If no, do you think that the development for the P999 is dead?
First, let me ask you a question. Do you know why we don't have a proper JB ROM yet, or even ICS ROM...?

I'm daily driving a hackfest, and I love it. I'm sure there's many others who can live with a hackfest too.
If there was a 4.3 ROM I'd think it'd be apolkosnik to release it but with a broken radio like the current 4.2.2 ROM out.
There isn't even a hackfest version of android 4.2. There is no complete source to any hackfest for this device anymore I believe. Development is dead unless Maz ends up getting something released if he's still working on anything outside his kernels in my opinion

I'm using eaglesblood 4.0.4 as my daily driver and love it. The only thing is I don't have video recording and have choppy playback on the videos I took when I was using cm7. Other than that I absolutely love it and its incredibly stable.

That's what I'm currently using, and I wish EB would still work on it. Its really a great ROM. Oh well, I'm most likely gonna buy the MOTO X in a few months anyways..

hmm...closest app to a fully functioning recorder that i have tried so far but still not working correctly. The video freezes up every few seconds while recording and then continues to record again and then repeats the cycle in the playback. Appreciate your tip man but I gotta be honest, I think I'm pretty sh*t outta luck if I want a fully working HD recorder for an ICS ROM on this device lol.
With the right mods you can make your CM7 G2X look like Jellybean:

Temasek's CM7 Kang with one of the Trinity MAX kernels. ELP-Max for battery or T15-Max for performance.
If you want properly working ICS/JB, then buy a new phone. Period.

The SD and Internal SD are reversed, so if you have a larger SD it makes it seem like you have a large internal memory. Also the directory name for the "external" (now your 5gb internal) has changed to /mnt/emmc
