Intrigued by 1.92 oc. Which kernel/rom combo is best for that support?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

To be honest its not advisable to get to 1.92. Too unstable and performance gains over 1.4 are minimal. If you want fast, run perfect storm 1.4 with ziggys kernel oc to 1.4. Gingerbread roms are nice but unstable and the accompanying radio is horrendous. Finally the gb kernels are not good yet since the source has not dropped.

Thanks! I waited for the lg revolution and that thing is a total bust. Excited!

I personally like Imoseyon's kernels best. Lots of good ROMs available. Play with your options and see what suits you best.

Is the Netflix app available for non gingerbread roms?

I don't believe so. If you're asking because of the radio issue, check out CM7. It's Gingerbread and has a working Netflix but without the brick risk.

Aren't there inoperable features in that though? And will any oc gb kernel work with it?

It's not prefect, but no rom is. The main problems are:
1) toggling from wifi to mobile data requires a reboot, although there are reports that this has been fixed
2) some people experience buggy data connections while many do not
Not any kernel will work but Imoseyon's does and is quite good (arguably better than on Sense roms). There are others as well.
While it's pushed as pre-alpha, it's plenty stable enough to run as a daily driver. Many people do. I would rather run it than a Sense 2.1 rom.

Agreed. I hate sense overall, but love the dev support on htc. Thanks for the responses man. Appreciate it.

I've been using CM7 for about a week now, there was an update on Saturday that fixed the wi-fi and data connections work fine. Only problem I noticed was going into an "Extended Network" area caused 3G to drop, but if you enable international data roaming it connects back to 3G.

Modem Issues w/GB Builds

There's been a lot of discussion about the low WiFi signal from most, if not all, of the Gingerbread builds. Many have speculated that it's simply a display issue and not a performance one.
My wife has a stock ROM (Froyo) and I have the GB build KH1. I did a test comparison of both the WiFi download speeds and the 4G performance.
The KH1 ROM *way* underperformed the Froyo one -- to the point where her stock ROM was at least 2-3x as fast as the KH1 build. 4G performed similarly. WiFi Analyzer also showed a huge difference in signal strength.
I then installed the KH2 modem and tried the same experiment and while it improved it somewhat, it was still woefully lacking in speed over the stock Froyo ROM.
With that said, has anyone found a prior modem build that works better than what's been released recently? This is a huge issue for me and while I love the GB build, to lose that much connectivity speed is troublesome.

There is a thread with all the modems on them, check the bible, you can flash each one to see which is best for you.

I don't think its a modem issue with gb. I've tried them all, wifi still sucks.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

Yeah not much you can do here, there will be more leaks..as wifi is still horrible and unacceptable for such an expensive phone..samsung just have to get it right!!

Thanks for the info and confirmation. I was afraid that we'd have to wait for the CM7 release. I've tried several of the modem releases and nothing has worked any better.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

yeah its just gb..if its really important just flash back to froyo..but theres good benifits for gb..netflix,skype video calling,better battery life..and all around smoother

I just jumped in neck deep and flashed the latest GB rom KII, Doc's new kernel and was surprised at my wifi speeds. before on stock froyo my wifi was sluggish and intermittent. Now as a matter of fact my whole phone is faster, very snappy. I'm very happy seems like I got a new phone with a duel core cpu
Thanks to all!

2.3.7

Are there any ROMS biult upon 2.3.7 yet? I'm currently running GSInfuse, and I like the ROM, but I would prefer running the latest version of Android. (I always like having the latest and greatest kernel, OS, and modem on my phone).

Cm7 runs 2.3.7
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

Can I O/C CM7, or run my own Kernel? I personally like to keep up to date with the latest modems, and I'm running Kernel Infusion-GB-CoreA. If I can't OC it to at least 1.6 GHz, I won't run it.

cm7 has a built in oc kernel which does go to 1.6ghz. you can not run other gingerbread kernels on it that arent meant for cm7.

Cool on the Kernel, but can I install new modems to the ROM? I'm currently running KK3, and the speed is great.

Yes, I'm running KK3 on CM7 -- working flawlessly.
One caution though if you're considering CM7 -- bluetooth doesn't work, and won't work any time soon...
If that's a deal-breaker for you, then don't bother with CM7.
I've learned to live without my BT headset, because I cannot live without CM7

U can overclock to 1.6 on cm7 but it'll crash or at least mine did. 1.4 works tho.

Wish they could fix it. $250+ tickets for not using BT makes me have to have it. Loved CM7 on my captivate.

CM7 Bluetooth works, just not with all devices (headsets in particular). Wiimotes work perfectly and it also pairs with my computers.

bluetooth data works, bluetooth audio doesnt.

Cm7 says 2.3.7 but its actually 2.3.4....2.3.6 is the highest unofficial firmware we have
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

MIUI is 2.3.7 and there is now one built with ICS framework. It still has the same issues with Bluetooth audio though.

where are you getting that information from?

I recommend miui. It performs magnificently, but allows you to change your theme daily if you so choose. I'm running miui @ 1.4ghz and it has no problem with it.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

the miui build is based off the cm7 build. you will still run into issues like bluetooth audio. so keep that in mind.

My "information" is i have compiled it and taken it completely apart and examied all the firmware and libs....i study....alot...check the forum
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

No offense intended, but you don't study hard enough then. You are completely and utterly incorrect. CM7 is indeed 2.3.7. Period.

I stand corrected then ...thanks

[Q] MIUI or CM7 or Weapon G2x

Which one are you Running / Why?
Please Leave your Feedback , and vote

Weapon. I tried CM7 and the camera plainly sucked. You need the LG cam to take advantage of the 8mp/1080p camera. MIUI is based on CM7 so the same applies.

Weapon. I like everything about it and it's the fastest smoothest rom I've tried out of the 3 you listed.

CyanogenMod... Fastest ROM hands down. OC/UV kernels, so many customizations. Theme Chooser. CM settings. Camera works great for me.

Weapon IV tried the others listed but weapon by far runs the smoothest and fastest for me

Bionix and Faux Rom

I'm really enjoying the CM7 with Faux 4.7 Kernal.
However, I do admit, the camera for the CM7 is butt compared to the original one. I have a T2i so it doesn't matter CM7 hands down, is the fastest ROM I've experienced. 7605 on Antutu

Just switched to Weapon G2x from EaglesBlood and it feels like I just got a new phone! Way better battery life, it's faster and less crashes.

I'm liking Weapon G2X with faux's kernel though I feel like getting used to CM7 because I'm flashing CM9 as soon as its available. At the same time I love weapon. It is so easy to use and the toggles on the slide down bar are convenient.
Sent from my G2X

Went back to Weapon 3.0 today after playing with Bionix and several Miui versions the past weekend. Everything just works. Fast, smooth, predictable. never crashes or hangs up. BT works great. Terrific battery life! An incredible Rom! Only downside is no more updates unless someone else takes over the Rom.

Chalk another one up for Weapon.
"All these noobs hatin' on my weapon when all they've ever run is C M 7."

have you guys tried SinghUI? i think its amazing so far for me atleast... i was on weapon which was great too!!

Definitely hands down weapon...everything pails in comparison. Paired with faux123 re-packed kernel the bootime is way faster and the rom is just incredibly smooth.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

My boot time is actually slower with the new kernel? It used to boot up very quickly. Strange.. Either way it's a great kernel.
Sent from my G2X

dependson what you like.
speedwise - weapon
looks- miui.
battery wise, weapon and miui is the same from my experience.
cm7 is just out of the picture. used it, didnt like it. doesnt look too good and battery drains fast.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

for me actually i get the best battery life with miui :/ with weapon i got around 10-12 hours of usage, with MIUI with CM7 7.2 Kernel i get easily around 15-20hours of good usage.

Weapon - amazing battery life and fits my philosophy - if it ain't broken, don't fix it (not very popular in XDA).

Best rom for simple mobile?

I got simple mobile running on my g2x for my wife. And data seems slow it wasn't before I had to mess with apns a lot to get it to work. And the web wouldn't work unless I checked request desktop version. And the Facebook app won't load gives me unstable server or some weird ish there. I'm running eb ics 4.0.3 I believe and I tried a few other ics rom. Any help is good

Go to a Gingerbread rom until the G2X gets a fully working ICS/Jellybean port. I'd recommend CM7 Nightlies.

Any flaws with cm7? Not too fond with it. And if you can what are some pros about cm7?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Simple mobile runs perfect on my phone, just got with them a week ago and everything works. On temasek(?)'s latest ROM.
Benefits of cm7? Lol too many to list.

cm7 or a cm7 based variant is definitely the most operable option for the g2x at the moment in terms of every day usability and stability. I don't really know why you would be particularly against using it so if you care to detail why you don't like it aside from the fact that its gingerbread based perhaps we could help you to consider juny. eb ics may well be the reason you're having the problems you're having, a lot of the ics/jb variant roms have data drop issues. if you haven't and are deadset on using an ics/jb rom, try paranoid android, kashmalaga, or the hackfest roms.
