Ok, ive been doing some research and it looks like eagals blood is prob the rom for me. I was wondering if i could get some advice on this, i am currently unrooted so im stock , this phone is killing me when it comes to battery life, the stability is so so, but my real problem is battery life i charge my fone about 3 times a day. I am a crazy heavy user, fb, texting about 200-400 message a day, phone calls every now and then, games (words with friends), and just random internet stuff. so my phone is like my life! My friend has a samsung captivate and he can go 12-14 of heavy usage prob not as much as me but he doesnt have it charging all the time like me. I was wondering what rom i should use to achieve great battery life and not lose out on stabilty or speed, look doesnt matter bc i use UTO kitchen.
Are you looking for an Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 ROM?

Hey man if you want a 2.3.3 rom that is stock the best is Xboarders stock tweeked rom it is super stable and everything works and the battery life is great. I use that ROM myself when I am in a stock mood. You hit it on the head with eaglesblood it is the best rom out there. I use the 1.08 verion it is based off GB 2.3.5 it is a mix a cm7 and EB goodness. The battery life is also excellent on it but you will not have A2DP (thats BT stero music) And you cant flash the stock froyo LG camera and there are APN issues that A hard reboot fixes every time. All of the problems I just mentioned are not specific to EB they are however specific to GB 2.3.5 for the g2x. It has something to do with Nivdia not relesing something drivers or sorce I dont know what exactly but thats why. You have to make a choice. I hope this helps you. Oh I alklmost forgot I am a heavy user like you except not text mssgs or phone calls but net data data data I had to change my plan to the 10 gig plan 5 was not enough. So what I did was I got the extended battery for the O2x it fits perfdectly and it was only $30. Before that I had 2 stock batterys with an external charger that worked ok too but I hated changing the battery half way through the day you should look into that. Good luck man.

i dont mind i want something stable, fast and great battery life...what does A2DP mean...im going to try EB 1.07 bc i hear no1 has problems with that...
A2DP is Stereo Bluetooth Audio... That's only important if you listen to music using a Stereo Bluetooth Headset.
For battery life, I'd recommend a CM7 based ROM, with either a stock, or undervolted kernel, such as faux123.

I agree with FatalityBoyZahy,
I did see a battery life increase after installing CM7, but the most dramatic change in battery life came after installing faux's 0.4.1 undervolted kernel.
And no the speed and stability don't drop, at least not with faux's kernel.
I would imagine that a 2.3.3 stock GB based rom such as Xboarder's tweaked or EB 2.3.3 plus faux's stock GB kernel would produce the best battery life, as I remember experiencing a huge jump in battery life from CM7 to stock GB.
However, I feel like besides the great battery life, the stock GB roms are ****ty compared to CM7 in terms off features and stability.
For example you can't do Netflix or gtalk video on stock GB.
Also I didn't experience this, but some users experience reboots and other such nonsense on stock GB.
So in Summary:
- stock 2.3.3 based rom (EB 2.3.3 is your best bet here in my opinion) + faux kernel = best battery life
- cm7 based rom (EB 2.3.5 or latest CM7 nightly) + faux kernel = best choice for both great battery life and better stability/features
Hope this helps!
Weapon. Its so smooth and I get 3 days with medium usage

There is only a handful of roms for the g2x . Some of them are no longer being supported by the devs as they have moved on to other devices it seems. just give them all a try.

No. The only risk is that you might run into stability issues, but using morfic's UV11 it isn't an issue.
Undervolt, use SetCPU profiles, keep wifi/gps off when you're not using them, and keep your display brightness low. That will net you the best battery life.

I believe the faux kernel is here: [Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.45] (v0.4.1) OC~1.55GHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/EXT4/Voodoo [Aug-27]
Looks like the CM version of the kernel is preferred by some in that thread (has to do with the battery driver).
Question: In terms of flashing the kernel, should I flash the ROM first and then the kernel? Or the other way around? (Or does it not matter?)

Always ROM then kernel.
And I prefer the CM version of faux's kernel as well. Supposedly the DS version has better battery life but I've never been able to notice because I'm always busy pulling my hair out over the jumpy and wildly inaccurate readings.

Thanks for the info! Didn't want to screw something up by going in the wrong order.

eagleblood is the best, do 1.8, its way better
I just got a used G2x (traded for a Galaxy S 4G), and I can run a stock rom just fine, but ANY CM7 ROM causes Sleep of Death, or reboots (actually, both!)...I've tried multiple kernels, and can't figure it out.
It will SOD within just a few minutes...any suggestions?

If you are having problems with CM7, then you should try Weapon G2X or Faux's 1.3.1 AOSP ROM. They both are great. Weapon G2X is more for someone who wants a fully functional G2x, like A2DP and HDMI capabilities. Faux 1.3.1 with the trinity or faux kernel is for someone looking for a very fast phone. Though it does lack the HDMI and A2DP capabilities. You have to kind of pick which one you like more. If I was you I would try them both out and make nandroids of both of them and figure out what you like.
I'm on Weapon now, and it works great, except that there are just a few things that drive me insane with any stock based build...
I used Faux123's AOSP build, and it worked fairly well, but still had SOD issue's.
I was hoping that maybe there was a solution, but probably not...maybe I'll try to go back to Faux's build.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if you guys could recommend a stable ROM I been reading around and it seems like Weapon is the one with the least hiccups. I just want something that is stable, no weird bugs, with good battery and I won't really have to update every week because there has to be things fixed. Let me know. Thanks!
(It's for the GF she doesn't really know how to flash stuff)
CyanogenMod 7.1
Try Ultimate G2X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103342
- Everything works
- Very stable
- Great battery life
- Beautiful and snappy/quick user interface
- Has the original fully-functional LG camera app
- Based on stock 2.2.2 so all hardware is fully functional and fully supported
This rom is the one I always go back to. It never gives me any issues and everything just works.
If it's for the GF, PLEASE take your time to flash MIUI, it's very simple/stable/customizable.

Maybe it's just me but MMS didn't work on any version over 2.3.3 and I had battery life issues.
Most stable is definitely weapon 2.8 with stock kernel.
All is fine for me. Except sometimes trouble with MMS over wifi but other than that...
Trying Ultimate to get the camera back to basics. Loading it now - is there a kernel you suggest for this, or no?
You don't have to use Ultimate to get your cam back to basics. He offers a separate link for anyone who wants it. Though...can't say if it plays nice with the other roms or not. I've still yet to flash any roms.
Weapon 2.8 with faux's oc/uv kernel has been the best, smoothest, least problematic rom/kernel combo I could find.
Everything works, it's super-smooth, super-stable, and it looks great.
No wifi issues, no weirdness, and fantastic battery life, even while [email protected]
The one-and-only down side is that it has a longer than normal boot time, as the kernel rebuilds the dalvik cache on every boot.
Yeah i agree, got my g2x for about nearly half a year now, the best rom ive ever used is weapon 2.8 with sv kernel faux. No bugs, data works fine, no freezes, heat ups, or battery pulls. Battery is great, from morning til comming home at 3am with 33% still.
But if you love personalizing then get miui, although ii never figured what kernel works for miui though

Not another best and stable rom thread. Try them
Thread closed.
I know this is a development question, but I only have access to this forum...
To Whitehawkx, I'm using your Weapon G2x v3.0 and Miui 1.10.21 and these roms are the best for G2x hands down!!
I love the Miui interface, but Weapon is rock solid stable. With Miui, I will have to switch between airplane mode every now and then to reestablish connection.
Also, with Miui it drains battery faster than Weapon. If I go to bed without charging, Miui will drain about 40% of the battery whereas Weapon will only drain about 10%.
Is there any way to port the rock solid stable-ness and power management of Weapon and drop it in Miui?
Thanks and keep up the great work!!
Weapon is stock based.
MIUI is 2.3.4/5/7 based.

Short answer. No.
Answer. Different build.
Movement of apk's into another build might work.
What is the best ROM? battery life+ functionality. Least bugs( alarm clock works) what's your favorite?

Hellfire Phoenix!! ;-) you'll love it Mann its excellent
Sent from LG p999
Current Device: LG G2x
ROM: Hellfire Phoenix v1.8
Kernel: Trinity T15 OC/UV 1.4Ghz/-150mV
Launcher: QQ Launcher Pro
Music Player: Poweramp pro
SMS: GoSMS Pro
Right on....how is battery
.....Clones & Drones.....
Personally i love Weapon G2x. its the most functional rom all around, stock based so EVERYTHING works how its supposed to. GPS, Alarm, Camera (ffc too), HDMI, Swype (if you use it) etc.etc. Ive never experienced any bugs ever, ran it stock (no OC kernal) etc the longest of any rom, snappy, customizable (check themes section). everything works, battery life is normal to better than normal (depending on device/usage). For me personally its the best ive used so far. ive tried almost every rom so far at least once. Absolute best thing to do
Is run them yourself and see what works best for you. as mentioned. devices all work differently as you can tell by reading through the forums.
They all have their own draws. For me i've found that the two above are my favorite. Phoenixblood because of the pulldown toggle bar which i can actually edit, the speed(which for me at least) is faster than any other rom i've tried, and theme chooser which comes with all CM7 roms; however i hate the camera on the cm7 builds like PB. As for weapon i like the LG camera w/stability built in, and the fact that i can edit which widgets appear in my power bar pulldown menu. All a matter of preference though, try em all out battery is pretty good for both, depending on the settings (setpcu, kernal type etc).
I got my g2x about a week ago, and I've been using Hellfire Phoenix for the past few days, first 1.8 then 1.9.
I originally downloaded several roms with the intention of trying them all, and liked HFP so much I never bothered with the others. It is almost flawless IMHO. My wife's got a g2x too, still on the stock rom. She originally rolled her eyes thinking I was going to ruin my new phone. After showing her what it could do, now she wants me to to flash hers too.
The biggest issue i've run into is one that's mentioned a lot already on the forums; the video camera is just slightly laggy. One other minor annoyance is that I can't get "compass mode" to work in Google Maps, though the compass and accelerometer work fine in street view and other apps. Compass mode was working in the stock LG GB rom. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that switching kernels helped some with gmaps issues like that. I'm debating trying that because everything else rocks.
ROM of choice
I'm pretty partial to Hellfire Phoenix v1.9. Have played around with straight CM7, which was good, Eagle's Blood, and CM9 alpha.
HP is very stable, quick, does what I need and want to do. The dev, x0xhellx0x, is very responsive to problems and suggestions.
My advice is to flash several different ROMs, running each for a day or two, then choose which you like best.
PartzMan2
T-Mobile G2x, overclocked to 1200 Mhz
ROM Hellfire Phoenix v1.9 (testing Hellfire Sandwich v1.0-beta)
Kernel Trinity Kernel T-15 (1560 Mhz)
Hellfire Sandwich is pretty Neat
Its a pretty nice one to use, even though its pretty new, but so far its one of my favorites.

I hate to say this, but Weapon was my ROM out of the box, until I came across Eagleblood and I can tell you that WITHOUT A DOUBT that Eaglesblood is WAY BETTER! I don't mean nicer to look at, or that stuff, I mean that the OS operation BETTER! Better responses to touches, better multi-touch, and so on.
EAGLESBLOOD!
