[Q] upgraded to a G2x expecting awesomness? =]

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.

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!

awesome!
Also how do you get that google banner under your name?

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.

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.

[Q] LG Cam 3.0 issue on latest Eaglesblood Rom

I flashed the LG 3.0 cam the same way I did while I was using Weapon 3.0 on Eaglesblood but I'm getting a force close screen.
Is there a way to correct this issue so that I can use the LG cam instead of the stock cam that comes with the rom?

Which eagle bloods latest cause I'm guessing you are on 2.3.7 which wont work.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

What mt3g is saying is that phone cam won't work on cm7 period. It depends on LG libraries that aren't available except on a stock based Rom.

Yeah EB 2.3.7.
Thanks. Really wish I knew that before I attempted to flash the LG Cam.
Is there a way to get the original cam back on w/o having to reflash the EB rom?

Never mind. I went back to the LG Cam thread and found what I was looking for. And It clearly stated it wont work on anything CM7 based which I forgot.

Best ROM

What is the most stable rom at the moment?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

there are lots! just take a look in the development section. there are also alot of threads started with this same question that have alot of peoples reviews in this and the general section. Personally my phone plays well with stock based roms EB/ Weapon G2x/ Tsugi etc. where everything works well including the elusive GPS locks (within seconds on updated July Baseband) No FC or random Reboots. From reading throught threads ive noticed to each their own. as it seems many peoples G2x plays differently with each rom. best answer is to flash away and find the one for you.

Ill use this thread since it was already started.
I am running stock CM 7.1 right now.. I am looking to play.. BUT I would like to be able to re-install apps each time I flash.. maybe even save email accounts and SMS??
Does Titanium do this? whats best for doing this when you play with ROMs?
Or do you just suck it up and have to re-install each time??

I really hate when people ask this question; pretty much every GB ROM will be stable, it's up to you to decide which one you like.

I love Hellfire Phoenix v2.0 Smooth, fast as hell and once tweaked right there is 0% chance of lag in the forecast

This may sound stupid, but is the wifi not working in general as a whole an issue with the phone or it's software, if it's software, what would you suggest as being a good,stable rom for the issue above?
Thanks

[Q] Rooting G2x question?

Hey guys,
One of my friends has the G2x for T-Mobile. I recommended she root her phone to possibly fix some issues she has been experiencing. Since most likely I will be rooting the phone for her, I have a few questions:
1. Touch screen unresponsive (will rooting help better the touch sensitivity)?
2. Low memory, as a result her phone freezes alot (bloatware), rooting should free memory?
3. Best method of rooting (link would be appreciated)?
4. Best/Top G2x Roms for daily driver (gingerbread)?
Any other G2x specific niche I should be looking into?
I want to root, setup and let the phone loose. I don't want to keep flashing and fix etc... I'm looking for (a) stability, (b) battery life, thanks in advance

For battery life, flash a morfic kernel and for stability and flash pheonixblood, or cm7 based eaglesblood rom
On mobile so can't provide link, use nvflash to put cwm recovery and when u flash the roms they are already rooted.
Never had screen unresponsive issues so I can't help there.
Also after you flash any rom u decide, download getril (free) from market to match ur ril so u don't have any baseband issues.
Also another rom alternative is is weapon g2x 3.0 then flash the new clip by kwes right after. Really stable, just not as stable.
Hope this helps

thats the thread i used and it was super easy... as for roms ive only used hellfire pheonix1.8-1.9-and 2.0. i liked 2.0 the best.. there is other kernels as mentioned to help with speed. hellfire pheonix2.0 has fauxs kernel built in and can OC to 1.4.. im running hellfire sandwich 1.3 right now and for a beta ICS its pretty damn smooth. still has alot of work to go but its good enough for daily use for me.. hope this helped.

Thanks guys

Yeah whatever you do, don't flash ics for here, unless you want her to keep bugging u.

[Q] Which mod should I use?

Hello, I'm interested in modding my G2X but there seems to be so many choices that I'm unsure of which one to use. I want something that's completely stable, I can't really afford to have my phone break permanently or constantly crash. Also will the Google play store still work with these mods? Thanks for your help!

Hellfire phoenix 2.3.7 with the patched stock camera for cm7. I have recently switched to this and really like it! Plus there is a new update coming soon for the phoenix.

Alright thank you, I was leaning towards that anyways. Is there a specific guide out there that would show me exactly how to go from stock 2.3.4 to Hellfire Phoenix 2.3.7?

I would say go with eglesblood 2.3.7 along with the 3.0 kernel for gb. I say this because more more stock then hellfire and generally has less force closes
