So i am currently running eagles blood and love it, super smooth, love the black. Havnt found any other glitches yet. Props to creator. What are some other good roms our there
Before the g2x I had a vibrant and ONLY ran Team Whiskey built ROM's because they were always the quickest and most reliable. When I first got my g2x I saw krylon running around the g2x forums and was very excited to see what he will do. My wife is STILL running Bionix on my old vibrant and I am also running Bionix on the g2x. Battery is a lot better, black theme is very nice, phone is super snappy, and I have NO problems with Bionix.
I have tried pretty much all the gb rom's out there and fauxs aosp 1.1.5 gb rom has been the most stable and smooth build I've used... with his custom kernel the thing is buttery smooth and fast with an oc of 1.5ghz if you want it super fast ... plus its a nice stock gb build with no extra stuff which I prefer ...
right now I'm running Bionix.
It's hard to say anything about one being better/worse than another right now, since they're all still in beta form. Let's get some final releases out, or at least an official gingerbread leak to compare against, before judging anything too harshly. And I'm not trying to say they should rush...just that we should expect some glitches
Here is my opinion.
None is better then the other for the fact that they are all built off the same source. If you look at the change logs for all roms right now it is mostly visual things changed with few backend things. (minus cm7 as they built their own)
Anyways give the devs more time to get more actual development done then compare them.
Stock Rom because it's more stable than any of the custom roms at this point. Every thread I've been reading people are having a lot of issues that's why I haven't flashed yet. Waiting for stable build from official source

Not quite true.
stock has almost all the issues and more then most the modded roms.
The reason you see more people complain about the issues on the modded roms is cause ALOT more people are using them over stock as it is junk.
EB1.04 Froyo. Used with included kernel and just a couple of tweaks here and there. Better than stock, LG camera, no GB issues. I get great battery life and speed with it. I'm not looking for a Quadrant record holder...just something that does what I want it to do when asked.
Now for the moderator in me:
These types of threads have the potential to invite flame wars. Keep this thread civil and helpful so it remains open. Thank your for your cooperation.
I've tried a lot of roms but settled with EB 1.0.4 because it feels like a stock rom but without the resets I kept having the with leaked version. The GB keyboard lags some but its nothing.
CM7 is really coming around but I'm going to hold off until they fix the APN settings. I've used CM since the first nightly and started looking elsewhere after #21. I'm looking to just relax with a working rom ATM.
As far as the various roms, they aren't all based on the same source. CM uses a CM base and their own kernel, EB uses the GB leak, and a few others are from AOSP directly from Google. Lots of variation. I agree that we should wait till we get some final builds until we compare but I think this thread is good for people to know because I've been using CM since it came out and when it came time to find something more stable I couldn't find which ones worked or which ones had which bugs.

I'm a Team Whiskey fan coming from the Vibrant so Bionix is my first choice, But Eagle's Blood 1.0.4 FR is also really good and in fact I'm running right now because it's still 2.2 so it has stock camera which is great!
Once Krylon gets the camera working on 2.3 I will go back to Bionix!
Haven't tried any others because of the APN issues!

No issues on Bionix.
I've played with all roms.
Latest was Bionix. It suffered some miserable battery drain with this rom. I gave it a few days play, with plenty of idle and game time. I'll say it is very snappy, however I couldn't accept going from 100-under 50 overnight idle while I slept.
Great rom and I will try again.
I'm gonna try EagleBlood 1.04 here in a few minutes, as it's gotten some decent mentions throughout the forums.
oh and btw, faux's aosp 1.1.5 got rid of any lag on the keyboard which i think no other rom has been able to fix on a gb rom

I wish they had a froyo version, cause I hate the jerky browser in gingerbread....
yea man i gotta say def eb 1.04 froyo is what is best rite now ive tried all of them and dont get me wrong bionix is the **** and faux did get rid of the keyboard lag and thats a big thing with these tgingerbread roms for some reason but yes all great roms but eb froyo 1.04 is sick got this extra keyboard by lg which i love and the stock cam also butter smooth but when running a oc kernel im having problems with my phone being on charger and it dying and not turning back on n having to do a battery pull so im just keeping it stock and love it still very fast!
The best ROM for me has been EB Froyo 1.04 and Morfic kernel is running great.
I have flashed nightlies, bionix, GB leak, and eb 1.02 and 1.04.
EB Froyo seems to be the most stable and just works for me.
Thanks to donicqq and tweezit

Man I really want to start flashing new ROM's but I'm still a newbie, so I'll wait for a final build with no issues.
I just dont want to have something go wrong and have to ask for help and get flamed for flashing ROM's without knowing what I was doing first. Hehe

I'm using the stock kernel. I tried the first morfic kernel for the build, and it was very unstable for me. Planning on giving the +48mb version a shot in the future, but stock works so well for me (speed+battery life), it'll be hard to justify a switch.
What ROM/Kernel pair is the most stable, has EVERYTHING functional (camera, BT, ect..) and is better on battery the same if not better than GB 2.3.3, thank you

miui is really stable for me, and some cm7 nightlies, eagles blood 1.07 is better on battery than 1.08, and wepon g2x reboots on me.
right now im using miui 1.8.19 with go launcher and no problems. its very smooth
Lol way not to answer his question. MIUI is based of CM7 and cannot do AD2P. Try xboarders tweaked OTA ROM. Everything's functional and has tremendous battery life.

Haha well it is the official OTA (2.3.3) taken and tweaked for speed and performance and slimmed down and pre rooted, so everything works like it should and it's faster than ever especially when overclocked with faux123's kernel.

Where can I get this ROM? when did it come out? and is there a lot of support for it?
Weapon g2x is great and stable. Everything works and was updated today
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
hey In my opinion mr hat is right you want xboarders stock ota tweeked rom you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513
That was what I used before I decided to move on to Eaglesblood and give up my streaming music but EB is definitly the best ROM for me. For you it sounds like XB is the way to go. The only thing is you wont find any updsates or real support for it. Apparently Xboarder had a problem with some people in this fourm or maybee it was the other way around they had a problem with him but either way he is no longer developing for the g2x last I heard I think he is now working on the sensation but the rom does not need anything it is 100% functional in my opinion it is as good as it gets for a stock ROM with no real add ons just root and no crap on it. Let me know how you like it.
but isnt always certain that adding any kernel to that stock rom by xboarder will break video or is that issue related to other phones?
Mine works beautifully.

What ROM and Kernel are you running? Obviously xboards ROM, what kernel?
Weapon 2.5 caused my phone to shut down twice, I did do a clean install.
I am going to stay with it though!
G2X or Not???
I have been debating getting the G2X. I am a bit bored and currently using a Vibrant on Bionix 1.3.1. The Vibrant works great with the new ROM, but I wanted the front and rear facing cameras, a flash for the camera, and the dual core would not hurt
Is it worth getting or should I just wait for the Galaxy S II? The G2X looks like a great device, but is there a lot of development for it (ROMS, etc)?
Problem with waiting for the Galaxy S II is the high price when it first comes out, so it would be a while before prices come down.

So far Eaglesblood 1.08 is by far the best rom it has the best battery use and it is the most stable it never crashed on me once I loved it 1.07 seemed good too but I just liked 1.08 better. weapon crashed on me 4 times in 3 hours so I did not even give it a full day to test. I usually give a ROM a week to see what it can do unless there is a problem from the begining. I am currently testing MIUI so far it looks like an I-phone piece of **** and but I kinda like it. I was able to put launcher pro on but as I am writing this post it is force closing everything it just started I guess it doesnt want a good reveiw LOL. Well Now it wont stop even after a hard boot and a complete powerdown and a permissions fix so thats it for MIUI it is not getting a week HMMM what next? Anyone? For now I am going back to goog old EB or maybee XB stock tweeked until I can figure out which one is next I like xb for 2.3.3 stock and the LG camera is just about done they have ver 3.0 out and they fixed alot of stuff I tried it out yesterday and it is really good props to those guys. Well if anyone thinks they know whice one I should try next let me know.
To the guy who was thinking of getting this phone I would it is a great phone the most user friendly device I have ever had and also the easiest thing to hack ever. If you like to hack phones or if you just like a good fast phone then this is for you. Good luck.

Question still stands, are you running Xboards build 1.2.2 of GB 2.3.3 with fauxes kernel 0.1.3 OC or SV?
So I'll be coming into possession of a G2X very soon and I was wondering how the stock Gingerbread OS is performance wise. I was gonna root it and remove bloat but that's it. I'm not sure I wanna get into flashing ROMS like I did with the Galaxy S. So performance wise, not customization wise, is it worth flashing or am I good with stock Gingerbread rooted with bloat removed?
Best off using a stockish rom actually. Stock on the g2x is very stock.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
There is a stock gingerbread which people have good luck with. One of the best roms, Weapon, is stock based. I use CM7 and MIUI cause the features are hard to live without.
You'll be in good company regardless.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Telnav and qik are the only bloat which have running procs under stock. Runs more stable than froyo did.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I think you'll be happy with it, though I agree with player911, a large driving factor for me to use CM7 is the features.
Not only is it very stable, but there are plenty of fixes and some nice modified versions of stock, like xboarder56's tweaked 1.2.2 build (My father and I have the same phones, he prefers the stability of stock and xboarder56's ROM has been flawless.) that is to fix any problems with the OTA build and nothing more.
If you want stock GB but want 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3 check out my two new roms.
Regular: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325403
LG Colorized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334819
They are based on a stock 2.3.4 build from LG. Colorized has colors and icons taken from P990's new 2.3.4 GB rom. The kernel is 2.6.32.9 built by LG for 2.3.4 on our hardware.
Go with custom roms. No reason not to.... they are way better. Especially for battery, customization. Rooting your phone is the only way to make it truly yours and make it perform the best it can. I wanted to stay stock actually, but once I tried a custom rom, there was no going back.... ever

Awesome, thanks for the responses guys. Can always count on the community with a little help
I've heard some real horror stories around here about this phone, but I've never had any real issues with it.
I ran stock GB out of the box, and never had any of the plaguing issues that some users see.
I flashed almost all of the roms and kernels, and found Weapon 2.8 with faux's oc/uv kernel to be to my liking. Everything works, and the phone its quite a bit snappier oc'd at only 1.1GHz.
Flash until you find what you like. There are a lot of combos to try, and a great dev community here.
Just my 2ยข
I have been using Xboarder's stock tweaked for the longest time and have settled on Weapon G2x.
Great stability and features

I see quite a few custom ROMS being actively and heavily developed in the Dev forum for LG G2x, and that makes me wonder which ROM is the best? best means performance, UI, and maybe battery life as well?
*Sigh*
They are all good, why dont you start flashing then post back here when you can tell me which is the best
P.s. There are tonnes of threads exactly like this if you spend 5 mins too search
Edit: Team Hellfire FTW!!
Look around. Flash away. One Rom might be best for you but not for me. It is what works for you. Try searching other 29585 similar topics. They will tell you the same thing.
Sent from my LG-P999
Well what are you looking for? A stock rom, use Bionix Reloaded. A CM7 rom, use EaglesBlood. Or ICS, use Hellfire or AOKP. These are just the best roms that have worked with me, so I recommend flashing them and if they dont work for you, try others.
Also, I always use Faux's kernels. Hope this helps.
Sent from my amazing G2x running EaglesBlood and Faux.
Hellfire Phoenix has been the best for me although I haven't really tried many of the others. I hear good things about EB but honestly you just have to flash and try them out to see which will work best for you
I have been running the HFS rom since v1, and for the most part it's been very nice. However, I was saddened to learn today that the dev will not be working on the g2x anymore. I know there are a few other ICS roms available, but I do not know a whole lot about them as I've mostly been in the HFS forum. If this dev does in fact leave, which ROM would you recommend for replacement (ICS only plz) and why? (highlights and lowlights to be aware of??)
Thanks!! (hopefully this information will help out a lot of people)
I could be wrong but didn't the HellFire ROMs come from the Phoenix Blood ROMs? If they did then they took queues from EaglesBlood. That would be the one I would recommend. I am currently on a Gingerbread MIUI ROM but anytime I want to used a CM based ROM I always go with EaglesBlood because it has always seemed really stable and gets good battery life. The dev also is quick to respond and does his best to fix any problems. Just as an FYI there are 2 versions of EaglesBlood ICS:
This one is based off of the AOSP source code Here
This one is based off of the CyanogenMod CM9 source Here
Hope this helps!
I doubt hell is going to end his rom. All the cm9 based ROMs are about the same. AOKP is pretty nice. I like the clean and bare bones AOSP thing that eagle's blood has going on. Really these are just toys for now tho.

i've used pretty much all the ICS roms on here and by far the best have been Genesis and HFS
I'm not sure if I like Domination or HFS better because I haven't used HFS since 1.7 and I've been on Domination for quite sometime now. I'll be on HFS once the next update comes out. HFS has always been a favorite of mine, but Owain's ROM tempted me over and I've been on it since.
Genesis is really cool, but I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one.
I actually haven't tried EB since build 1. Maybe if I get bored, I'll switch to it again sometime, but I'm pretty happy with Domination and HFS.
In my opinion you just have to use some roms and find which fits your feel the best. I've went through maybe 3-4 ICS roms before finally sticking with ASOP 4.0.4 EaglesBlood for the (in my opinion) battery life and performance.
My phone loves Domination by Owain94, all others seem to not agree with mine so just try all of them and see what she likes
