Lots of people seem to be recommending MIUI... but what else is good that's out there, besides CM?
Miui is great but..
Miui (whitehawx) is pretty good. But there is so much things to mess around with. I currently have G2xTreme GB 2.3.3 v.5. It is simple with all the bloater gone.

Can post the link to that rom? Thanks.

Try this rom for amazing stability, while retaining the graphical aspect of 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). It's a mix of CM7 and AOSP made by Faux123. If you're looking for straight up stock check out this for a slimmed down, and speedier version of the OTA.

Yes it is, with some mods added to it like the notification bar displaying battery percentage and some other nice mods.

Have flashed all the roms available for g2x and backed up.
Using Eagleblood as the daily driver and switch back to cm7 when a new nighty comes. Faux123 has a new aosp rom out there and looks promising.
Had a busy weekend flashing, thanks to all the devs

Download 1.0.2 - Froyo 2.2

You should test a little bit more 2.3. The revamped version of it seems to be pretty awesome.
I tested my GPS on 2.3 EB 1.03 and it was working pretty good.
Well I've ran them all and it's a good question. If I had to choose I would go with the leaked GB rom right now. Unfortunately it caused lockups and reboots for me every few hours. It seemed to run great other then that. So if it is not locking up or not causing you problems then I'd do that.
I haven't tried EaglesBlood 1.0.3 yet but I have it on my SD card waiting. I've heard good things but it is based off the leaked build thus I'm assuming will reset my phone like the leaked build.
So I'm running CM7 #9 right now and it is pretty good. It doesn't like playing 3D games as a few I tried lock up the device. I had one time where the phone was stucknon the lock screen and I had to do a battery pull as the power button wouldn't respond.
So while CM7 is getting there, it is far from being perfect as it is still in it's early stages. If stock GB works then go that route or EaglesBlood if you want something a little more custom.me personally I like the look of stock and nothing pre-themed. The other available Roms are still buggy with their radios which doesn't make them good candidates for a daily driver.

Hahaha dude I see you on here all the time, where you been? Practically all of the new gingersense roms out today are completely dependent on that leak. Without that you wouldnt have any of the new roms, plus, some of the roms out right now are based on that, like Calks new Evio rom.
i love those roms but i wish they were smaller files. i have never partitioned my sd before

Check out Mik's .51 Rom. Stock Gingerbread with Sense 2.1, works great!
Only "stock" gb with sense 2.1 would be a shift port. The evo will not be getting 2.1, not from HTC anyways
I am really liking Avas gingerbread with 2.1. Tried the others, Avas is my favorite. Throw the sense 3 lockscreen on it and your good to go. Hopefully the sense 3.0 ports will stabilize as much as the 2.1s have. 3.0 is tha ****!
Im kinda glad amot posted this cuz I been curious. I thought I remembered this with the 4.12 radio leak, but if there's an official evo GB, why all the ports and semi-functional roms (no offense to ANYBODY)?
Is it just cuz of the effort to get the newer sense? Im on xda every day. But it seemed like this leak came and went. Unless I missed something.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
We got the (incomplete) kernel, and library files out of this leak that have made every gb sense Rom possible. It is entirely useless other than that because it had nothing other than some files of and interstate to anyone. The better sense versions are why we use ports anyways. I'm sure that once we do actually get an official version, with everything working, these ports will get better.
Also sense 3.0 will never be complete, or 100% stable on the evo for a few reasons, but that's what search is for.
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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using faux's sexy kernel
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!

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.

Asus TF - Custom 3.2

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.

I want to know from your point of view guys, Who's rom is more complete and stable?? I like the octane 2x, but got some problems with it nothing mayor, but besides that great rom the other one i like is valhalla. and the stock 2.3.4 this are the ones im using, but i want to know if you guys think theres another one i should test on my phone.
I've been on Valhalla 1.3.2 since whitehawkx put it up, and I've had zero issues with the rom (save for weak gingerbread wifi, but that's not because of the customization of the rom).
I also like the almost stock theme of it, plus the MIUI lock screen is just my favorite.
Currently running octane. Came from Valhalla and may go back. Both are great roms. Can't go wrong either way really.

If you want a smooth Froyo ROM, you should just use ICBINB KD1. dsexton702 put every speed tweak (at the time) into that ROM.

+1 to that brother. Been running Valhalla 1.3.2 with honk's kj1 kernel since it was posted. Least issues i've had on any GB ROM. The MIUI lockscreen is by far my favorite..love the audio controls. Just an overall sweet ROM, very reliable. If you have to have froyo, I'd go with black ice / Bali 3.3 uv.

Ok so before i start, i just want to say "no i am not asking for which rom is better etc, so dont go on closing threads" xD ok so here i go..

So i tried serendipity it work well..but its not based on kk4... heres my question? are roms based on kk4 better than other older ones? I dont know much about the diferences in that or about audience chips, voodoo etc.. I do notice some roms seem to have brighter colors than others..any sugestion as to what is the diferences..thanks in advance

The standard suggestion and one I subscribe to is you have to try them out to see what is best for You and Your phone.
I use Legend 4 and am completely happy with it but that is just me. It meets the things I think are important. Which does not mean others are worse or better. But then, I don't worry about if there is one out there that does something wonderful if I don't need or use it.
here's breakdown
KK4 based - my ROM is one of the best.
Overall GB ROMs - Apex ROM (ported from i9000 I think) with KK4 kernel and modem.
KK4 stock has many annoying bugs - browser scroll, gallery etc

Thanks. this is what i was talking about. I wasnt sure if i flash other roms left behind without kk4 did that meant they were slower or whatever..or did by them being kk4 did it meant it should be less laggier or whatsoever... im just a flasher..not that sure of what diference does kk whatsoever do to roms..
Go with CM7 if you really want to go for!!!
