Rom?

Any suggestions on which one I should run? I really want a miui but that'll have to wait. I reallly was a cm7 fan on the mt4g but I hear its still too buggy...
Thoughts? ?

I can only speak for eahlesblood and cm7. Cm is stable but keyboard lag and battery meter are annoying. Eb froyo is pretty good. Im a cm addict so that makes be biased.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel

-_- asking an opinion on Rome are inane, different strokes for different folks... Maybe some time management books would be in your best interest ...

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

It seems u have a ****ty Samsung to tend to. Why are u in the g2x forum.
And I just like personal opinions to quickly catch feelings towards the roms. I work 2 jobs and don't have time to just play around on my phone all day.

Try cm. Its pretty stable right now. I get good battery life with it but the Margery meter is still a little wonky. I don't get any keyboard lag at all

faux's is not based off CM his is AOSP built from scratch it has 2.3 camera and macro shots and such are still available only issue I see with Faux's rom is battery tells the wrong battery level, be at 76% and after a reboot have 64% but thats alot of roms dont know about stock, and I can live with it. seriously best rom yet.

I believe faux's rom is more of a hybrid. He took some stuff from aosp source and some from cm source (like the kernel I believe)

Smoothest basic ROM?

My dad just bought the wind mobile version of this phone. What is a smooth basic ROM you guys would recommend for him? he doesn't need anything fancy
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I like weapon but you could always start with the basic rooted stock rom and go from there.

I suggest eaglebloods latest rom, which can be found in the development section of the g2x. It is extremely smooth and stable. I would also use faux123 4.6 kernel with that rom.

Must try Tsugi. It is a pretty basic rom but is blazing fast and reliable. It has never crashed on me as long as I have been running it. Can't say enough good things about it.

I've heard great things about Tsugi! So +1. I've tried Weapons, wasn't my cup of tea. Froze quite alot in the early builds.

Really? This poor horse...

I use Weapon 3 which is based on stock Android 2.3.3 with Faux123-0.1.3 recompiled kernel. It has very good battery life, is fast, and very stable.

Galnet MIUI, it really is impressive
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

After trying both Tsugi and Weapon, I personally prefer Tsugi. It seems to work slightly better for me, and I overall seem to have fewer issues. The LG Camera also seems to work slightly better on it although I can't point to any definitive area, other than the fact it has a panorama mode (which only sort of works).
Weapon is great if you want to run Touchwiz, which I find makes more sense to people who don't know what they're doing. Another big deal is that Tsugi doesn't have the shutdown issue where when the phone runs out of battery instead of turning off the screen just goes black and drains the battery more. This may or may not cause damage to the battery, but it's not worth the risk.
Just my two cents

i would say eagle

Jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Colorized is what I settled on after trying pretty much every current ROM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

I would say leave it alone. usually the one originally on there is the safest and most stable. I have installed the latest nightly build 201 from cm. Its for me and I know what to do if something is wrong.
My wife's android phones I always kept at stock for her so whenever there is an issue its easier to fix.
Just stay stock bud and your dad should be fine ok?

Miui.us is Da best so far with trinity kernel,axura, then tsugi? There's a mess of them? Lol

So is there any working progress on getting it on our skyrockets soon? Will we be supportes in CM9? I can't wait to finally get it lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

So what is the big deal with CM7? is it the best rom out there? I looked at there website and they dont suport the skyrocket as of yet, I guess we have to wait until CM9?

it is not the best ROM ( my op anyway ) just has a following because it is ported from phone to phone to phone as is MiUi. as other roms that devs work on are usually just for the phone they have in their pocket ( less Johnson )

I am using CM7 on my Skyrocket (with Da_G's kernel) and I think it's great. It's not flashy and super tricked out or anything, but it does remove all the stock bloatware and battery life is MUCH improved on it. I suspect if I added something like Juice Defender and tweaked that all to hell and back I could get several days on a charge. As it stands now I get a bout a full day with moderate usage without having to plug up constantly as I did before. (That is the main reason I wanted to root was so I could test out all of the claims of super battery life.) just my op, but CM7 is OK in my book.

so cm7 on the SR isn't buggy or anything because this phone is my daily driver

I would stick with what you have for a short while longer.
UCLA 2.3.6 update just hit, so lots of ROM's will go through wipe-only updates and new ROM's will be released.
SkyICS is the flashiest, coolest ROM IMO that still manages to be stable and quick.
RedSonja is a bit more blah (aside from cartoons) with the theme and tricks/gimmicks/addons, but looks like it was just rebuilt for UCLA 2.3.6 update. So if you have to flash something, that is the one I'd try right now.

I'm digging NexusM0D 3.0 after trying a couple of different ICS-Themed ROM's.

I'd give Skycoke a try. To be honest SkyICS and Coke are the only two I've used but I've developed a serious Coke habbit. It's clean, fast and stable.
I'm sticking with it until there's a true ICS release.

I like that one a lot also.
But I was getting random, infrequent force closes. Mostly on superuser.
Anything Seanzcreams dev's is going to be pretty good. But he's not around for a few weeks I think. So no new updates for awhile.

Sean will be back in April after the tour w chimaira. Skyics is very stable and clean though.

I really liked sky ics, and nexus mod 2.0. Tpc is really good as well but the dev moved on so no updates. If you like eye candy try one of the sky versions or nexus mod.

what Rom do you guys recommend if i am looking for stability, battery life and lots of customization (tweaking wise not graphics wise)...
i am using sky ics 7.4 speed... its very flashy and has lots of graphics stuff i dont really need but its draining my battery like crazy. i can barely go 10 hours without charging.

Try using the stock skyice. I am using this version and the battery life is awesome. Best batter life I have had with any android phone.

yeah i am running speed at the moment ...going to downgrade to stock.
the problem i am having is that my phone never goes to sleep...! i am trying to find what causes the wake lock...with the screen off is still draings batter like crazy...
i have my eyes on the call recorder...could that be the culprit?

Idk...its gotta be some app that you downloaded though...cant be a system app since those come on the rom and mine is fine.

thx for the help.

2 much to Choose
I like the stability of SkyIce 7.4 Lots of eye candy. Right now using StokMod-2-UCLA3, hoping that ICS will be released soon. I Wipe about once a week just for the variety. Only Bricked the SkyRocket i727 once before the 30 days was up.
Wish I would have waited for the note.

Personally I prefer the Tmob roms. The ones here feel pretty much all the same to me too imo. There are some pretty interesting ones over there like Tuesday, Juggs and ParadoxII. Really nice themes and features too. You just need to flash our kernel or else your rotation is all outta wack. I find there is more action over there. Although the roms we do have might be less original they are pretty rock solid.(props to our devs) The only downside to the Tmob is you lose the LTE icon (still getting the speeds just no icon changing) which I couldnt care less

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

Using latest version of Eaglesblood with faux kernel. It's stable, and battery life is awesome. I'm not into ROM swapping. When find one that works, I stick with it, and it's looking like I'll be with this one for a while. Maybe when an ICS ROM gets refined, I'll give it a go. I would like to have Chrome on the android.

Using CM 7.2 RC1 with faux ds kernel. I get about thirteen hours of medium use, light use lasts a couple of days.
It's a great stock rom without the problems of LG based ones.

Weapon G2x 3.0 R1

Cm7 7.2 RC1
Actually looks fine. But I notice more stutter than before, perhaps the ICS animation is bogging it some down.
Still a fan of CM7/Cm9.
I can honestly say, I'm sticking to the G2X despite having a Galaxy GS2. I truely enjoy the Cyanogen ROMS and can't wait for it to come CM9 on G2X and GS2
Also that Samsung is too big. Should have waited. Not sure I'll get any device over 4 inch screen. But thats me
