Which GB based rom would you install today, and why?
I prefer EaglesBlood 2.3.4 gingerbread rom..Super silky and smooth...works flawless

I have used EB 2.3.4 and CM7 Im currently CM7 and feel both kind of the same but im thinking bout going back to EB i think its a bit faster and smoother.
CM7 since it seems to be the only one that wants to let Windows read my external SD card.
ok so i just switched over from the MT4G and curious what is the best kernel and rom for the G2x, any and all opinions are welcomed!

Really does depend on personal preference. Best way to find out for yourself is to try out several different roms and kernels combo.
All the roms here are frigging awesome but for me I like eagles blood the most and folllowed by weapon g2x and CM7.
You can't really go wrong with either of these roms. Just depends on ya pref

I have 2 g2x's and they both like different roms, so yes, all phones are different. I've found Eaglesblood 2.4 the best on my earlier, froyo device. My new device came with gingerbread from the factory, it will not run on cm based roms, yet it loves anything stock gb based. I run weapon 3.0 r1 on that one. Oh yeah, kernels, dragon 1.5.2. On Eaglesblood and faux 123's 013 kernel on gingerbread.

the weapon/faux combo works great no problems and theres zips for lg camera software and a fix to get the gps working quick
I have been running the HFS rom since v1, and for the most part it's been very nice. However, I was saddened to learn today that the dev will not be working on the g2x anymore. I know there are a few other ICS roms available, but I do not know a whole lot about them as I've mostly been in the HFS forum. If this dev does in fact leave, which ROM would you recommend for replacement (ICS only plz) and why? (highlights and lowlights to be aware of??)
Thanks!! (hopefully this information will help out a lot of people)
I could be wrong but didn't the HellFire ROMs come from the Phoenix Blood ROMs? If they did then they took queues from EaglesBlood. That would be the one I would recommend. I am currently on a Gingerbread MIUI ROM but anytime I want to used a CM based ROM I always go with EaglesBlood because it has always seemed really stable and gets good battery life. The dev also is quick to respond and does his best to fix any problems. Just as an FYI there are 2 versions of EaglesBlood ICS:
This one is based off of the AOSP source code Here
This one is based off of the CyanogenMod CM9 source Here
Hope this helps!
I doubt hell is going to end his rom. All the cm9 based ROMs are about the same. AOKP is pretty nice. I like the clean and bare bones AOSP thing that eagle's blood has going on. Really these are just toys for now tho.

As of right now I would have to agree its been pretty stable for the past 26 hours for me.

i have been using eaglesblood build 3 however the camera doesnt work... wehre can i get Owain's CM9 KANG? any recommendations for a daily rom?
I'm a faithful user of Owain's ICS builds. I've had issues, but nothing I couldn't live with.

I don't know where you heard that hell is not working on the g2x. He's still putting out updates consistently and it has been getting a lot better, we're getting linaro next build!

That was posted over two months ago and at the time some drama between various users started and future development of HFS was in question

you got that right thats what im running
I have tried both EB and HFS and I really like both but HFS had a few more options but in my opinion EB runs a bit smoother

i've used pretty much all the ICS roms on here and by far the best have been Genesis and HFS
I'm not sure if I like Domination or HFS better because I haven't used HFS since 1.7 and I've been on Domination for quite sometime now. I'll be on HFS once the next update comes out. HFS has always been a favorite of mine, but Owain's ROM tempted me over and I've been on it since.
Genesis is really cool, but I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one.
I actually haven't tried EB since build 1. Maybe if I get bored, I'll switch to it again sometime, but I'm pretty happy with Domination and HFS.
In my opinion you just have to use some roms and find which fits your feel the best. I've went through maybe 3-4 ICS roms before finally sticking with ASOP 4.0.4 EaglesBlood for the (in my opinion) battery life and performance.
My phone loves Domination by Owain94, all others seem to not agree with mine so just try all of them and see what she likes

Domination- Making CM9 it's *****!
Thanks Owain94, Your My Hero

I agree. I tried HFS and it was really laggy on my phone. Performance wise eagles blood was much better.

been using it for 2 months, just flashed build 5, still not laggy. best ics rom ive used for g2x
until there is a rom that EVERYTHING is fully functional, i'll pass on ICS for right now.
First off, shout out to all the amazing Devs. I envy you for what you can do.
So I was looking for some feedback on what you guys run on your G2x's for custom roms and kernels.
I've played with alot and keep finding myself going back to a GB 2.3.7 ROM.
For GB I have personally used:
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Phenoix v2.2 and just went to v2.3 on launch.
A Rooted stock 2.3.4
Atm I am running cm7-kang-G2x-135
I've never messed with a nightly before, but I love it so far.
Most of the time I use faux's kernels.
For ICS:
Paranoid Android JB Flavored
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Sandwich (loved it for about 5min, than non stop FC on com.phone.android, uninstalled)
Genesis
Domination
MIUI_G2x_V4
So I was just curious what setups your running and if your happy with them.
I wish I could get a modded rom that supported bluetooth. Making I'm not looking in the right place? I know all CM7 based BT doesn't work. Anyone have an ICS ROM that will playback video ok? I had MX Player running on one but I can't for the life of me remember which ROM it was, I've DL'd so many now.
Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone found a workaround to this issue in regards to cm7/9/10 based roms?
I flashed almost every combination of rom and kernel the last 4 days, and while i love flashing new stuff, i'm about to throw my phone out the window.
Here's what I've noticed. The march 2012 baseband with newer cm7 nightlies to help a bit but its still no where comparable to stock rom/kernel, not to mention bluetooth issues with the new baseband.
Singh-ui (cm7 based) lists in the change log a mic gain fix which seems to work decently well.
I'm guessing there are no apps out there to boost mic gain? I tried looking around but nothing. Anyone one else with any observations to add?
They only thing i can add is ive flashed damm near every rom/kernel amd have never experienced such issues. Ever. Same baseband as you. Very odd.
Sent from G2x running BuROM v0.2 (root; mod stock 2.3.4) w/ faux's GB kernel 014b2-ext4.
Interesting, for me on old bb, people had a hard time hearing me, on new one people can hear me but it picks up bg noise really bad. I recently bought a pair of headphones with a mic, Skull candy brand, and the person who I have a really bad time with raves about the new clarity with the head phone/mic combo.
Edit for what it's worth I am I'm temansk (if I spelled it right) cm7 w/ faux 52.
