How long until we see a stable CM7 ROM - T-Mobile LG G2x

Anyone know approximately how much longer until a stable CM7 is released for the G2X?
Don't get me wrong, I like the current nightly version and I appreaciate the work the guys are doing on this project, but it is a bit buggy, so I was just wondering if anyone knew when a stable CM7 would be released.

Define "a bit buggy"... For me CM7 has been rocked solid for a long time now. It is my go to rom... I gave tried others, but i keep going back.

Well I don't know if its just my phone or what but the camera takes some weird pictures sometimes like half of the picture was black and white and the other half was in color. Also the menu is quite laggy w.hen scolling up and down.

The camera thing has happened to me a couple of times. I use the camerazoom app... It has some cool features.
Are you using the stock cm7 launcher? It's well worth the 3 bucks to get the ADW EX launcher! Also, go launcher is a great snappy launcher... Both will help with the lag...
And i always do a clean install when I change roms even nightly to nightly, just incase there is an issue...

In my experiences on other devices it has never been stable. Even when a so-called stable mod is released there are many problems. If you want a bug free rom then don't install CM or any other hacker community roms. Stick with stock. I'm not knocking them; just saying they are not for people that expect a smooth, seamless, bug free experience.

I took your advice and got ADWLauncher EX and I must say I'm glad I did. The menu is much faster and there is more customization.
I just have a question, do you know if you are able to make the background transparent while in the menu? Right now the background black.

Does CM7 use the default internal storage or does it skips over the extra 5 gigs all together and installs apps in the sd card?

It gives you a choice where to install.
As for the other question... remember, asking for CM ETAs causes baldness and impotence (or frigidity in case you are female).

THANK YOU for actually responding. To be completely honest I am using eaglesblood which is based off the cm7 builds. In the cyanogen Mod settings and applications, there are choices for internal and sd card, either of which still makes my apps and music go to the sd card.

Too bad Hacker Community ROMs are more stable than stock for the G2x.

I would have to disagree with this. How long did you use stock GB, one minute. The stock GB rom is as stable as any other Android device I have ever had, if not more. I have had zero problems with the stock rom. It is rock solid.

I agree, solid, but inefficient

I feel like there was, but now I can only find a place to change the color of the app drawer background. Oh... I figured it out.
From home screen
Press menu
Select more
Select adw settings
Tap UI settings
Pick Drawer preferences
Scroll to background color
Have your phone in portrait because if it is in landscape you can't see the slider bar.
Move the slider the left, then hit the center circle.
Poof! Transparent app drawer!

Can I use custom icons with it? (never even used ADW)
Can I enable 7 screens like LPP?
Does it have scrollable widgets like LPP's facebook?
Can I change what the icons open?
I'm definitely considering buying this, I just need to know a few basic things before I do y'know? Sorry if these questions sound stupid.
Yes you can use custom icons. Long press and icon you want to change and off you go. Was never really keen on using ADW till now, easily trumps LP IMO and worth the $$$.

What about the more screens and scrollable widgets?
Edit: I got it. removed a lot of my icons and widgets from my homescreen so i just removed it. didn't feel like putting them back. the transitions were cool though. i may re-download another time when i am really bored.
even the free ADW is on a higher level of customization than launcher pro plus
I'm loving the Ex version thanks OP!
There's almost too much to customize! Lol

I couldn't get it to layer widgets (unless it's an undocumented feature of the paid version), so I'm sticking with LPP.
As an avid ADW user, what makes this worth it over the free version?

There's no system options button in the menu, unless I'm profoundly retarded.
Anyone know how to get that back? The best I can do is add shortcuts to settings on the homescreen.

You have to enter ADW Settings to get to your system settings. Very unintuitive.
I've bought both EX and LPP. The eye candy of EX is nice, but LPP is a touch more refined as of right now in terms of practicality.

Only expressing my own opinion: CM7 is not as good as WeaponG2x or even, oh my, stock

Am I the only one who noticed that CM7 is slower than Weapon and EVEN stock?
I am not contemplating this, I am sure of this!
Just expressing...
I have found that cm7 is the fastest rom out there, and i tired em all. After using stock and cm7 for a while , I ended up sticking with miui.
You are definitely doing something wrong bec is completely the opposite.... maybe a bad flash? A specific app?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Thanks.
Very interesting.
I am a freak when it comes to noticing these things. I can say that the general "fluidity" of stock and Weapon (opening apps, moving from one app to another, to desktop, re opening, and so on), is smooth and it just wicked fast on Weapon and even stock.
CM7 is good, but not quite there.
If it has to do with flashing - I don't know.
I just follow the instructions ):

The launcher makes a HUGE difference in satisfaction.
For example: MIUI
People dislike MIUI at first glance because "it feels too much like iOS".
True. It does. But the stock MIUI launcher is modeled after the iOS style homescreen. Load up a different launcher and it begins to feel like Android on Steroids.
If you want your phone to feel FAST, you use Zeam as your launcher, and turn off the animated apps grid.
The ADWLauncher is quite choppy. A main reason I stopped using "pure" CM7.

Thank you!
I have yet to understand how does one change a KERNEL. Doesn't these come with the ROM? I assume they do, so how can you change just the kernel without changing the rom?
I do not know what Kernels are, but I am assuming I should refer to them like the "BIOS" of a PC (controlling basic functionality of the device)
If transitions are too slow for you go to spare parts and change the animation thing to fast or none. You can flash kernels basically the same way you flash a rom. Find a kernel in the development section and reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik & cache and look for the kernel.
Amazing! Everyday I learn something new here.
THANK YOU

Kernel is not like the bios. The bootloader is the bios, the kernel is loaded by the bootloader. The kernel has init scripts inn the ram disk that load the OS. The kernel is Perry low level but not bios low. It's the heart of the OS. Think of it like this: the bios/bootloader is the ignition process on a car, the kernel is like the engine, started by the ignition process. With the engine, everything else starts up. Changing the kernel is like changing the engine, to a more optimized, more feature filled custom engine.

No, I've seen cm7 side by side to my weapon and its noticeably slower. I think most people are just so stuck on cm7 that their view becomes slightly distorted, sort of like apple fanboys (no offense to anyone, just stating my findings).
And the slow boot issue has been resolved, under 30 seconds for me running weapon with faux oc/uv kernel.
Edit: To prevent launcher related comments, we would both ran the same launcher, go launcher ex.

[q] new to skyrocket

Hey guys i recently purchased a skyrocket and I do indeed plan on rooting it. I have a few questions about the phone though. Is there any special apps just for the skyrocket. Also what cool things can I do without a root? Im comming from and iPhone 4s so please excuse me if the questions sound a little silly.
define "cool things"....different for a lot of people.
you don't need root to make your phone look cool. There are tons of apps that can change the look of your phone without ever needing root.

Weather and clock is Fancy Widgets Pro
The wallpaper is one of my own....I have a thread in Themes where I post all my Custom wallpapers.
There are literally thousands of ways to make your phone unique..
If all you want is to change the LOOK of your phone.....then theres no need to root.
do what the Man ( Mortem ) above said and check out those apps.
There really isn't anything good that can come from rooting you're skyrocket. All the roms for it are very unstable. The only things you could add are maybe battery percentage meters at the status bar and a few very minor mods but the phone is to new you wont really enjoy anything from rooting it.
Well rooting for me is always a given... as i like certain fonts, and adblock... but atm stock rooted on my skyrocket has been a wonderful exp.. where as prev phones stock roms have most always sucked.. Plus if I feel the need to theme or change etc I have my atrix to toy with.. the skyrocket is my work/daily driver,

there ARE stable Roms for our phone, there is an unstable Kernel that may require patches to run right. but you can always run the stock/stockish kernels. Red Sonja is my Daily and is VERRRY stable for a beta. the Rockateer Rom is also stable along with TCPs and Quickwiz. maybe i dont know your idea of stable.
the CM7 rom has bugs and is unstable....but even that RUNS stable if you set it up RIGHT<<<< right being the key here.
anyway, that **** rubs me the wrong way.....
Your statement is your Opinion and it SUCKS. (that my op)

I don't agree with the tone, but I do agree that there are many stable roms. Do you're homework before rooting or using a custom Rom and you'll be happy. The cm10's are faster, smoother, and better battery life than ics. The other jb roms are just as good. Just make sure you get a rom that is specific to your device or you will create a brick. All Sll's are not the same.

Regardless, reading this did take me back. My first skyrocket ROM was made by PirateGhost. Red Sonja was queen of the skyrocket back then. And now Doc's back after a long hiatus with AoCP. And Mortem used to provide some great theme work. Now that's the skyrocket forum I miss. When the biggest issue was getting vibration to work on Red Sonja. Not the countless number of repeat questions and the lack of search skills.

Can't find a stable ROM, is it the apps I'm using?

I've tested several ROMs, Infused, Serendipity, DarkyRom, going to try gsinfused next.
I routinely have problems with a very laggy phone, I have a live wallpaper running(which I love), and I always have trillian running. Most of the time it's pretty smooth, but after a while sometimes it gets really laggy, even when I end all the tasks in task manager it seems to persist in this unstable state.
One of the biggest causes of this unstable state is when I'm using google maps, or using bluetooth in my car, this can really kill the stability.
Can anyone offer me any advice? I really like the setup I have right now, am I just pushing the phone too far? Or is there some settings I can modify to continue using the apps I like.
You could try wiping cache and dalvic cache in recovery whenever things get slow
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Trillian. Live wallpaper. Looks like most of your apps are memory consuming, and CPU consuming. Google maps with navigation takes up resources on a higher side. Maybe try taking off live wallpaper.
As apps continue to stay in background running (not just preloaded ones) like trillian, the memory used by them increases with time, and this makes lesser memory available to any new app.

I've been flashing about 2 ROMs per week, all have their pros and cons. Of all the ROMS I've flashed, I keep coming back to what I call Old Reliable (for me), Sensation 1.1. No reboots, FC's, it's fast, stable and with the Modem/ kernel combo I run, I get 4+ to 7 mbps DL, 2+ UL on network, and 18-30 hours battery life, depending on usage.
This has been MY experience. I've had the same thing occur on the "newer" ROMs which no one can explain. Black screen, green Android, yellow block letters "kernel panic", then I have to pull battery to reboot. I do have a pic of this on my digital camera at home, which I'll post later, it's a strange occurrence.
Use dman3285's stock rom. Clean, fast and made for the Infuse.
[ROM]SGH_I997 UCKL2(Rooted, Deodexed, and Busybox)(CRT off)
But definately lose the live wallpaper. They're neat, but they really slow things down.

Yup - I do one kill on boot to clean cruft, and will do a kill if something is clearly misbehaving, other than that - I don't do it and def. not autokill.
Probably live wallpapers is the culprit, they're notorious for being laggy.
All the Roms that you've mention are ports. I have try every other new rom that pops up but I keep going back to Galnet's Miui

Galnet's Miui is the only port I' will use. Even the infuse Leaked GB roms don't make me stay.

The live wallpaper sometimes laggs it down some. Keep that in mind.

The wife and I both run MIUI on our phones and its super stable. I have 150+ apps installed on mine and it's solid as a rock.
The live wallpaper sometimes laggs it down some. Keep that in mind.

[REQ]Transparent status bar...RebelROM

I'm running RebelROM w/GoLauncher and have it setup to where I can swipe up to hide the status bar. But when the lockscreen is on the status bar is visible, would be nice if it was transparent. I imagine that's a function of the OS, not the launcher, right? That being said, is it possible to modify it to be transparent?
Would the UOT Kitchen be helpful for this?

I tried that one, preferred Widget Locker instead. It's got a sick ICS lockscreen....might go back to it since I despise the one I have. RebelROM is so RAM friendly it shouldn't be an issue....I don't think I've broken the 300mb RAM in use point yet....everytime I check it's 2xx mb with 4xx-5xxmb free. Gotta love it!

Ive been doing soo much research on android and ram usage I honestly havent checked my RAM usage once and havent used one task killer. Its so slick and Android controls RAM usage so good by killing apps if need be, if not it wont kill any, so believe it or not, it runs more stable and it saves battery.

I've been checking it cause when I was on 2.3.6 stock rooted it wasn't as efficient with controlling ram useage as advertised. I would notice it would lag at times, then would go in and check it and there's just 200mb or less of ram free....I'd free up as much as possible and it would be fine for a while. With this ROM, ram is a non-issue...it's extremely efficient!
Ended going back to WidgetLocker and now my lockscreen is sexy again.

The status bar isn't actually transparent but more like "minimized". It should be an easy XML edit somewhere that I could attempt but it actually involves thinking .
however I'll give it a shot if you get bored with WidgetLocker (which IMO is amazing).

I know its not, thats the problem. I think I'll hold off until we can get a custom lockscreen cause I despise the stock one so in the mean time, Widget Locker it is. I appreciate the offer though
