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.
Hey guys,
In your opinion, what is the most STABLE Rom, and what would you consider to be the best?
I have been using Weapon G2X and Its my favorite so far, as far as features go, but Its crazy buggy, Random reboots 10 times a day atleast! So I want something a little more stable. (unless someone knows a fix to the random reboots)
Also, Whats the best way to backup your texts, settings, and app data and settings before you flash a new rom? Also keep in mind I just switched from an iphone to the G2X a few weeks ago, so i am pretty new to the android scene in general.
My backup pro is a great program to save bookmarks, text messages, applications etc, so is titanium backup pro. I will say latest cm nightlies with faux. 4.7. Kernel is a very smooth/stable experience, also just flashed eaglesblood 2.5 two days ago and its also an excellent rom especially with fauxs latest kernel.

In my opinion Eaglesblood 2.4 was the most stable rom i have used on my G2X. There were absolutely no issues; everything ran 100%. But because it was updated im going to go ahead and say that you should use Eaglesblood 2.5.

for me is miui with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073626 is pretty good no ramdom boot ups
Im using weapon and I also had reboot issues until I went with fauxs UV/OC kernel .0.1.3 and set the minimum frequency to 500 using pimp my cpu.
And for backups I always just make a backup in cwm right before flashing and afterwards do an advanced restore, data only. On top of restoring data it sets your phone back up exactly how you had it. And I've had problems with some backup apps losing my data at random.

Weapon's been great for me so I'm not sure, maybe every phone reacts differently. I did have a bluetooth issue on 2.8 so I downgraded to 2.7 and it's been working.
Definitely Eaglesblood.....Fastest and the best rom I have ever used!!!!!
I'd say the latest Cyanogenmod nightly, with either a Trinity(morfic) or faux123 kernel.
faux123's Debauchedsloths battery driver kernel *amazing battery life, but bad battery percentage readings.
Found morfics kernels to be slightly better, although fauxs work is fantastic!
thanks for all the suggestions guys!
Ive installed eaglesblood and so far I am liking it.
The only problem I have run into so far, is that everyone I talk to on the phone (daily) has commented how quiet I sound sense flashing. Never had this problem before, any suggestions?
I have NO issues at all with the latest CM Nightly running faux's 0.4.7 sv. Unfortunately my device won't allow the OC/UV kernel as it never boots after flashing it. I would love to run the DS version but I think I'd have a real hard time with the funky battery readings. Does this happen to everyone who uses it or is it just hit and miss? Any way to fix it?

What is the best ROM? battery life+ functionality. Least bugs( alarm clock works) what's your favorite?
.....Clones & Drones.....

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!
So to anyone who experienced best of both worlds of the 2 ICS roms, which one do you like more?
It's hard to decide but from what I've been seen HFS seems to be a fan favorite.
When I used EB, it felt really stable, but it's missing so many tweaks that other roms have and you really can't customize it much. I've been bouncing back and forth between different roms, but I'm looking to jump right back to EB as soon as they release a new build. I just hopped on HFS again after being on AOKP and Genesis and I'm loving it. HFS 1.4 was actually my first ICS rom and I've used that one longer than other because it worked fine and didn't see any reason to switch.
Ok, typical question. HFS and EB are both really good. If your looking for more customization, HFS is most definitely the way to go. If you could really care less about that then go for EB.
If you get HFS, be careful on the versions. With v1.7 you need the update harsh kernel to use usb mass storage. It'll tell you that when you look at the HFS thread.
EB uses the FAUX kernel. I forget which one came with it. I changed kernels after a little while. Not sure why, I didn't have any problems with the faux kernel and only led myself to have a much shorter battery life. So be careful.
Other then that , they're both very stable, both run very smooth, and both are good on battery life.
The choice comes down to preference.
HFS with Faux kernel gets my vote.
I am not really that cutting edge... I just like stability, a charge that lasts the day, and a smooth interface. It has these.
Hey guys, I bought myself a Nexus S one month ago and I've flashed about 15 different ICS ROMs. Is it just me or are there almost no stable ICS ROMs? All of them had random reboot issues apart from AOKP and CM9. I had no reboots on AOKP but the clock got stuck every 2nd day, so my phone wouldn't wake me in the morning which is even worse. CM9 I liked a lot, but I couldn't phone in the hands free mode (don't know the propper name of it in english) because the mic wasn't loud enough. Currently I'm on ras cream sandwich and it reboots while i'm listening to music which is really frustrating. Oh and before i forget, I always flashed matr1x kernel and used smartass governor, no OC.
Is there any stable ICS ROM apart from CM9 and AOKP? Or can i fix the other bugs?
Thanks in advance!
Your problem is the kernel, not the rom. My phone also reboots while listening to music in the undervolted matrix kernel. Stay with rascream and flash the _thalamus kernel and see how stable it is. That kernel is really stockish and stable. If you don't want to flash you could try to raise your voltages to stock values in nstools. Some phones like undervolting, some not. ;-)
Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk
hm I didn't know matrix kernel was undervolted, I thought that's only the case with trinity TEUV kernel by default well I'll try another kernel for the time being and see how that goes.
Yeah. Some of our phones can't handle the voltages mathkids kernel supplies outta the box unfortunately. Either adjust them back to the stock ones or search for another kernel. I prefer either thalamus or Simple Kernel. I just recently flashed the latest version of the former and its great. You can try Air kernel if you want a few more governors and whatnot.

Like.. that's what STOCK is all about.
The people that made the phone are the most interested in making a stable ROM, no compromises.
Most stable and fast rom
Try APEX ROM 1.1.2 (latest release), that's what i'm using until aokp milestone 6 comes out. there is no lag, no reboots (just if u OC too much),...
Slim rom with no tweaks is smooth. Try it and u will not regret it.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
MIUI roms are very stable these days.

Well it differs from phone to phone. My phone is good with Matrix kernel. Might be one of the best custom kernels to run for my phone if not the best. Matrix isn't a compromise for my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
For several days I'm with Slim ICS and Matr1x and I have no problems with random restarts. No OC and no tweaks!
Try CyberGR ROM
I have installed CyberGR ROM and I have not suffered any reboot. I followed one by one all the steps of the development part and I'm quite happy with it.
Good luck.
Well, if you really want stable, get Stock 4.0.4. I'm on 1100+ hours on uptime without a single reboot... The only thing I've done to the stock 4.0.4 is getting root.
I would also like to know. from my own experience, stock 4.0.4 is best, but can CM9 very be made that stable? I'm running it now with ink kernel and no tweaks and it seems slightly laggy :/ should I flash brainmasters tweak pack?

Bugless Beast hasn't given me any issues. I've rebooted to flash other kernels but the only two kernels that have given consistent performance are Simple(stock with bln) and thalamus. Once I get my new battery, I may see how long I can go without rebooting. But if you want rock solid, go with stock ROM. Hell, my cousin has an EVO 4G and has almost 1200 hours up time. Lol.

AOSP+ definitely belongs to this category. Stock with a few useful modifications.
You should try AOKP again
I know you've already used AOKP but you should try/flash it again. I'm sure that the clocking was freezing because of some flashing issue.
Go to this link and download the milestone-5 version (m5) of AOKP. Also, you should use this rom with matr1x v19.5 cfs.
Milestone means that it's stable, so you shouldn't have problems with it. I use this rom and matr1x 19.5 on my daily device and haven't had any problems nor reboots. Great performance and great battery life too. Besides that, the rom is highly customizable.
Apart from stock, Have you tried BuglessBeast? Very stable. No need to flash any custom kernels.
if ur using ra scream use one of the trinity kernels. its super stable, super smooth, and long battery life
im using this black ice rom, in love with it .. shud try

I searched the internet and apparently I'm not the only one with that problem. I tried AOKP twice (i think build 32 or something and m5), always with matr1x kernel. Could this also be a kernel Issue?
I don't know that much about Android, but what I found out in the past days is that my Nexus S can't handle UV. I also get very high Android OS battery usage sometimes but I don't know why. High meaning Android OS once used more battery than display even though i had 2h screen on time. I suspect it's got something to do with titanium backup not restoring apps correctly, but that's just a stab in the dark.
Currently I'm on Apex v1.1.2 with stock kernel. No random reboots so far. I didn't restore apps via titanium backup (which was a pain in the ass). So far Android OS seems to use way less battery than before. But yesterday I had something like SOD when received a call while using TuneIn, so I had to pull the battery and call back. Not what I call stable.
I know that's a lot of text and probably also a bit OT sometimes but I hope some of you will read it , I'm not really a flashoholic and I'm getting sick and tired of switching roms, but I need my phone to be reliable. I'm really tempted to just switch back to stock ROM with stock kernel at the moment...
the things I'd really like to have is bln, notification toggles and stability.
