CM7 nightlies/faux123's CM7 kernel
I am running Weapon G2x with the stock kernel. This ROM has it all and everything works perfectly.

Running CM7 Nighltlies with the faux kernel, very stable and solid. I was running the CM7 Alpha 7 ROM on my sensation but decided to switch mack to the G2x. Must faster and smoother phone in my opinion and it feels more solid in my hand.
Am using my own mix based on stock and Weapon with stock kernel...

G2xTreme
I am running G2Xtreme 1.1.1v2 Faux's 0.1.3-ext4 kernel. Everything works great including the HDMI which was very important to me. I uninstalled cm7 146, WeaponG2x, eagleblood1.07, and trigger0822. Everyone of these great rom's had hdmi problems. But they are all great.
My Antutu benchmark score is 5561 at 1.2 mhz which is just below the Galaxy S 2. When I was running trigger with Faux's latest kernel ( can't remember what it was) my score was 5630 at 1.1mhz which scored me above the Galaxy. I have had this phone for about 6 weeks and didn't even know ROM's existed until i stumbled upon the android reddit page after two weeks of ownership. Now it seems I can flash a rom in my sleep! There is that much info in these forums! How to's and even youtube videos. Amazing, really, that android phones bring so many people together!
I haven't commented enough to post ( noob that I am ) in the dev forum so I would like to say THANK YOU to all the dev's and especially *renocivik* for his very stable, fast, stable, rom.

For those who are using weapon with no problems, has anyone had problems streaming an avi file through the hdmi ? It was very unstable for me. So now I'm curious to see if maybe it was just my plasma tv.
can you post a link to your rom
thanks

Faux GB kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
I switched from CM7 (faux sv kermel) to Weapon G2X (stock kernel) a couple of days ago. Had too many problems with CM7 connectivity - lost APN, no wifi calling, slow-no GPS lock etc. Most could be fixed with a hard reboot but I found myself rebooting multiple times a day. Gave up after I missed a couple of critical calls.
Weapon G2X seems to be stable. I liked the default layout/launcher etc built into CM7 a little better but with a little work and the Go Launcher I think I now prefer this ROM.
What are the known weaknesses of Weapon G2X btw? I went through the dedicated thread but couldn't really identify any weaknesses. Excuse me if this is a stupid question - I am a noob and still learning about this phone and Android in general having come from Blackberry just a month or so ago!
Cm7 nightly 160. Bluetooth finally works and it works flawlessly. Stock kernel for now.

Weapon no Kernel.
but I am thinking to switch back to EB CM7 + Faux, everything run faster with CM7 roms
CM7 nightly 161, stock kernel. Working good so far.
Been with CM7 ever since LG "bricked" my phone with their GB update and not updating their camera app to GB.
Had faux's 0.4.2 up to nightly 153, but had my APN disappearing and wifi dropping connection (appeared connected, but no data was getting through), so I switched back to stock. I have this problem in 158/160/161 + faux kernel.
I wonder if this is caused by CM7 going to 2.3.7 recently...
Currently running Cm7 Nightlies with Faux 4.2SV CM kernel. It's been pretty stable expect for the data & wifi dropping like mentioned before. But a simple reboot fixes it...and i don't mind rebooting either cos reboot only takes less than 20 secs.
Came from MiUi 1.9.30, which i must say is the fastest ROM i've ever had (atleast for me). Just got really tired of the iPhone look. Then switched to Weapon 2.6...but didn't really like the stock look and reboots took literally like more than 60secs. So i thot i'd try going back to CM7.
After trying miui, cm7, eagle, and trigger, (with various kernels) I settled on weapon. I used both versions of faux's kernel, but I got sick of the five minute boot time, so now I'm on the stock kernel.
I absolutely LOVE weapon. It's lacking some of the customization options of other roms, but the stability more than makes up for it.

If u want performance and really good battery life go with nscollab. If u want nightly updates go with cm7 if u want performance and eye candy go with miui. I bounce around nscollab and miui. Best roms in my opinion. I would also recommend tsm pool party. Great rom.?

Just not in public
As a user of all 3 roms, here are my thoughts.
Nightly flashes are cool because you get to see new updates , but there is a higher chance things will berak as they are not tested much.
NScollab is updated slowly, but it was really stable for me when i used it, so when i wanted to use my phone as a.. err, phone? I used NScollab.
Right now i am on MIUI Brainmasers edition, and it is perfect for me.
It gets weekly updates with a nice clean changelog (CM7 Changelog anyone? :O) and they are usually pretty stable.
The UI change is refreshing, nto to mention extra hidden features (prox support, map static ip address to network etc)
I bounce back and forth between MIUI weeklies and CM7 nightlies. Right now I'm on CM7.1 #228 with either matr1x or netarchy kernels. MIUI looks really nice, and is CM based, so I guess it's basically the same under the hood.
i've tried miui, both the official and brainmaster's mod (which is definitely the better of the two), both savage and deck's roms, pete's rom, cyanogen, and oxygen. . .
and i have to say i'm severely disappointed that i only recently found out about a little hidden gem called carbon. i say hidden because i check these forums regularly and never saw any mention of it until this past sunday. if you've never run it, you'll be pleased that you did.

CarbonCO2 = Oxygen 2.3.1 with ICS theme.
I use CarbonCO2 because I like the blue battery and status bar icons, and all the other theme-ing. You won't find a ROM more stable than Oxygen/Carbon and they have a great balance of performance, battery life and features. Your phone will not reboot or freeze.
I highly recommend MIUI (esp. Brainmaster's MOD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181050) with morfic's Trinity Kernel.
I've been on CM7, NSCollab, and a handful of other ROMs, and ended up with MIUI. Usually, I found MIUI to be a tad slower than other roms, but for some reason, Brainmaster's seems super snappy.
However, all of the above are super-duper well made roms. And it'd probably be best for you to try em all, just to see how amazing all of these devs are
I just ordered the G2x tonight on a black Friday deal for free from t mobile, very excited to get this phone. im coming from the Samsung galaxy s which is a great phone but my techie needs cry out for a duel core processor. anyways I hope to be seeing you all around the forums in about 4 days when it comes in the mail & also its nice to see a familiar face around here krylon360 has done great things with the sgs4g and his rom will be the first on my phone once rooted anyways hope you all had a great thanksgiving.
Maybe ur already aware of this... but its not bad to refresh it...
To do list:
1. NVFLASH CWM!! There are some neat guides at the dev forum.
2. Make your first backup and save it on ur PC.
3. Choose ur favorite ROM flavor, sprinkle it with a custom kernel and enjoy!
A good start can be a stock rom like whitehawk's weapon x 2.3.3 or jboxers 2.3.4 roms, rock solid (although 2.3.4 roms lack of source so there are no custom kernels for now)
But if u feel more experimented you should choose CM7 or miui... recent nightlies are quite stable...

Weapon would be my first choice to start with. Then MIUI or CM7.
Once you do MIUI or CM7 you'll never go back.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Tried miui for the first time yesterday... its sick... krylons rom is alright... but hasn't been updated at all... so I agree with weapon or cm or miui... latest miui is on rootz by whitehawkx

I had trouble with Weapons my wifi and data alone was really slow,no clue why I hear great things about it.Plus I had to use stock message to send pics and was really slow.I went with Eaglesblood pretty fast wifi and data is amazing along with fast pic sending.I could use gosms too which I like using.
dirtyPISTOLA you'll love this phone
Once you use miui you'll never go back lol everything work great and there so many theme is the best im useing the latest rom whitehawkx ported over very stable. with the faux123 0.4.4 kernel.
Hail to the King, baby!...
But anyways, welcome! Glad to have you aboard, its a great time to have a G2x! CM7, Eaglesblood, Weapon, MIUI... the stock ports of LG roms and even the in-progress ICS port! Just to name... a few, hahaha.

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

I haven't rooted/modded in awhile. I used to just use CM7 when I first got the phone. I've gone through 3 replacements now and have yet to mod it. Can you guys recommend the best ROM for the specifics I'm looking for?
-Has to have wifi calling (this is a must i barely get 1 bar to no svc in my apartment)
-has to record in 1080
-has to have HDMI working
Please let me know which ROM you'd recommend? I'm tired of the stock always getting the black screen of death and the random reboots. Tmobile said they can't exchange it anymore. Thanks!

Ran 2.3.3 eaglesblood for the longest and it was very stable, but I really like voodoo and the faux123 kernel for ota based roms kept freezing and rebooting my phone worse than the stock ROM/kernel and it took forever to reboot due to the cache rebuild issue. Then I tried RG2x MIUI and loved it but had too many bugs...plus MIUI has a bit of a learning curve to it. Now I'm on phoenixblood 1.4 with faux123 cm7 based kernel and so far everything is great. Only been a couple days but so far fast, smooth and stable!
If you don't care about overclocking or voodoo sound, then eaglesblood 2.3.3 based is very stable and fast.

I would also recommend one of the Eagle's Blood or Phoenix Blood Variants. Quick and stable. Good Luck!
Phoenix blood 1.4 no special kernels...
Yeah, I have tried then all and ever since nightly 201 from cyanogen...the CM 7 build have been the best

Get the one with the shoulder thing that goes up...
I've been using Weapon 2.6 since the day it was released. I also need WiFi calling.
Just install the LG cam 3.0 add-on and your set. I can also confirm that HDMI works nicely.
FWIW; I'v installed every iteration of Weapon as it was released. V 2.6 is the most stable for me.
I just got done trying the wajkui, and it worked pretty damn good. CM 7 worked pretty well for me too, and I have finally moved on to Bionix. It is all about finding which rom works best for you. Download a rom and try it out for a week, and flash another until you find what works. There are so many people who have made great roms, I am starting to get addicted to flashing one rom for a week and flashing another one the next week.
Bionix works really, really well for me and it's in active development. I've had good and bad experiences with Weapon, and I've also tried Tsugi and MIUI. So far Bionix has been the best for me. Good battery life, very responsive and most recently no random reboots.
If youre looking for straight style, go with MIUI. It looks great and theres plenty of very smooth themes out there I use a custom port called Singh-UI, its a bit more stable.
If youre looking for more customizations, go with CM7 Nightlies or Phoenixblood
I have tried all but right now I think the best two are Singh or WajkIUI both are MIUI ports.

Phoenix Blood is what I am using now. Was using Weapon because I thought no other ROM could match it's battery life and stability. This was after trying MIUI ports, CM7, etc. Phoenix Blood is stable, smooth, and I EASILY get a full day out of it with pretty heavy use. But, it all depends on what you are looking for, stylistically I mean.
Phoenix blood runs great on my phone, with very few bugs, it also gets frequent updates
I've only flashed CM7S, so i can't compare it to anything. I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it! But I'm using CM7s latest nightly with faux123s CM OC/UV v0.4.8 kernel. I like all themes there are for CM7. Oh, and of course the great performance and awesome battery life I'm getting is good too. Best thing to do would be, backup and flash a new ROM every week or so and see which is better
