Depends on what you want, cm7 for all around though or royal Ginger. Royalginger has awesome battery life also.

I personally liked CM7 when I had it on my mytouch 4G before I had to send it in. Then again I'm a fan of Team Douche's work. I haven't tried RoyalGinger though. Although I've heard good things about it.

ALL OF EM!!! you got a badass android phone so why stop at one rom. explore em all and pick ur poison. welcome to our world though

Honestly your going to have to decide. The MyTouchHD runs a wide range of different ROMs, we have AOSP 2.2 and 2.3, we have Sense, MIUI, Espresso, Liquid and so many others.
Personally i love the AOSP skin, i like the light weight, super customizable and blazing fast. But some people like the added stuff that comes with Sense and Espresso... so you'll have to play around and see what you like.

Definitely Give Team Royal a shot. Right now I'm running RoyalLiquid with Launcher Pro Plus and absolutely love it.
My Wife as of last night (finally let me root her MT4G) is running RoyalThunder and loves it.

Yes team royal is amazing. RoyalGinger is fantastic. Sooo fast and smooth. Greatness

IMO royalginger.

Choosing a rom is personal preference. I like MIUI while the person above me likes royalginger so it's all opinion. Try a few and choose from that.

A request in the development section....
G2X

sense 3.0 YES!!!!
i would love a sense rom on this phone! not a fan of gb or cm7. they are good roms but sense is nice and even if takes resources the g2x has plenty to spare, wouldnt affect much on it. my hd2 ran sense beautifully and as bad ass a phone as it was it wasnt quite the powerhouse i have now. sense would be nice addition to the rom dev for those of us who enjoy that type of ui.
thanks in advance to any devs that work on a sense rom for this phone

I cant believe ya really dont want sense one this beautiful phone >_>
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

+1 To this. A wide range of roms for a wide range of people is what we need on a phone. Sense brings a lot of features that stock doesn't have and an ease of use that people like. I'm looking forward to sense on the g2x,and miui, and gs2 twiz, etc. bring on the variety!

i would like to test different roms on this phone. i like miui, gingerbread, aosp, and sense. You know what i dont like STOCK. so lets bring whatever roms we can get to our side. If we didnt have ANY ROMS to flash people would be complaining. Be grateful. I dont really see what the big dispute is about. If you dont like it DONT FLASH IT. Problem solved. Some builds bring different things to the device. Gingerbread doesnt cover everything. Whatever rom is posted i flash it, if i dont like it i flash back. Some of you just want to be difficult.

Heck yeah I would want sense. CM7 is nice. If they get sense ported on here, I bet it will be faster than the sensation. The sensation only gets like 1300 in quadrant. Don't give me that quadrant isn't optimized for gingerbread cause it is. I'm sure this phone would be like 2000 via quadrant with sense added

I love CM7 but when I wanna show off to my buddies I'll flash a sense rom. So 95% of the time CM7 will be installed. I just like having alot of rom options. Also as many roms/kernels as possible.

what!
did he say hd2 ran sense beautifully? what magical phone did he have? lol

I agree with you 100%. I'm beyond bored with the stock build. sense on this phone would be bad ass. I did find a cool app that makes the phone look sense-like. "Lp sense ui".

well you could try MIUI, or CM7 (all in the development forums) but my FAVORITE AND MOST RECOMMENDED ROM is virtuous unity sense 3.0 if you haven't already. yes, i know it's sense, and i understand you hate sense, but really, you HAVE to try it. BEST and FASTEST rom out there for the MT4G, and lots of mods for it too. you should really check it out.

I've never been much for the whole fact that "its uncostomizable" and that's all I have ever heard about sense... can you explain to me if it really is limited? Because I like the open-ness of CM and such. I'll give it a try as I probably will all of them. Just kind of wondering what I would get into with this sense rom?

it actually is very customizable. check out the mods thread in the development section for virtuous unity.
there are many themes, tweaks, mods, and if you don't like any of them, you can always make a mod yourself using the UOT kitchen.

[q] miui 4.0.1 p999?

So what's the deal with this galnet ICS for G2x "Galnet ICS 2.11.26". Screenshots show android version 4.0.1. Is it legit? Not quite understanding why everyone's not all over this thing if it is, which leads me to ask this question to begin with since there's not very much info on it (that I could find).
Here is the actual page;

thanks, i know what ill be flashing tonight.
Added- flashed and confirmed, it is real ICS. tastes so good. im moving from the cm7 nigtlies so miui takes some getting used to, but ICS is amazing.

well im running the stock galnetmiui, and it seems stable enough. i cant believe ICS has been available all this time. im gonna try to slip faux123's kernal in now.

If this is it how come CM and others aren't using it to get their cameras working?

galnet is just a framework merge to ICS it doesnt have the ICS APK's, yet that is. im guessing thats why cm team hasnt used the code, cm team is probably using the ics camera APK.
also faux123's ds kernal v 048 is working fine so far.

It doesn't have much of anything from ics except a couple of things it just just has 4.0.3 in the build prop, you can do that with 2.2 builds. I don't even think it has the basics from ics in it. It is not worth the flash IMO. It is a basic miui build with some tiny modifications that are not noticeable again IMO

Yup I agree with mt3g.

Is says that it is 4.0.1 but it is very stable. I have been running it for about a week with Morfics The Destroyer 1.6ghz kernel and it is awesome. Very stable and fast. I have not had any reboots or SOD. Wifi calling works perfect as well. You will not be disappointed if you flash this rom.

Ah so it doesn't really have any of the optimizations and improvements of ICS? Just the little bits of it here and there?

From what I gathered while on it that was when it first came out, it is a flash over zip you have to install latest miui and them the ics layover (kinda like a theme for 2.3.3) not really though lol. I didn't even notice anything different at all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

So general consensus is no this is not 4.0.1, it's just MIUI with a BS version number.

Weather it is or isn't I don't know. But you can not go by a Screenshot of the Android Version. That can be changed in the build.prop.

Not ICS... simply has some pieces stolen...
By that logic, Tsugi has "Some ICS Code" in it... as in, I used some of the images out of ICS in the theme, as well as a little xml and the screen animations. Doesn't make it ICS.

Why are they banned?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because they falsify information in their roms most likely. Callin this 4.0.1 is completely inaccurate. Just because it has a couple of "ICS features".

If I remember right it is just the fact the galnet asked if there versions would not be put on XDA
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

So in other words, the latest build the dev team has put out is just an amalgamation that's only partially ICS with the rest of it being part and parcel Gingerbread, huh?
Really looking forward to seeing hardware acceleration. I couldn't tell ya whether it'll really be the next thing since sliced bread.
Any word on whether this might allow us to run games more smoothly? I think I read somewhere that it's also a matter of developers writing code into their games that make better use of Nvidia's GPU? With the Tegra 2 being a CPU that's bound to age in 2012, I have to doubt that ICS will help us in games.

Need a rom

Alright, I need a rom that's stable, and not too sluggish. I swear I've looked at numerous different roms, I just want to know your personal opinions on what you're using. I don't need a bunch of fancy features, just a rom that works and isn't too laggy.

It all pretty much depends on your preference. I can't recommend sense roms since I'm not a big sense fan but I hear newSENSE is a good rom that has a lot of "CM like" features. Then there's strapped's roms which I hear is another fav of many people. For aosp there's some on rom manager and a few here on xda as well including cm7.2.0 Stable which cyanogenmod just released (also on rom manager).

Before there was a somewhat stable ICS rom, my go-to rom was always CM7.
It's extremely light imo.
I've tried strapped's supreme sense rom for a couple of days, it was a really great rom, just liked ics too much to stick with it.
Newsense was also a great rom, but it wasnt my taste.

As Sparksco stated, it's all a matter of preference. Strapped has one of the best analogies I've ever heard. He said something like " it's like buying sneakers, everyone's taste is different. Because we all use them differently. " The best thing to do is to try various Roms. Flash one try it for a few days, at least. See if it suits you . Also read up on the Rom before you Flash. Make sure it has the things you need it to have, or what it lacks that you can't do without.

Thanks for the replies guys, your advice really is appreciated! I'mma be sure to head off and frolic more in the awesome community that is this forum
