To Mod or not to mod?

Hey guys I was wondering if I should install CM7? I have a stock rooted g2x with no problems.
Should I wait for LG to release Gingerbread?
Does Peggle or Plants vs Zombies work on CM7?
I am really excited about the future of my phone but don't know which way to go. Any help/opinions is appreciated.

I recommend you root the G2x at least once and see how that goes for you. 1 of 2 things will happen, you will either love it or dislike it. I personally keep my G2x stock because I find that it is more stable than rooted and also the camera app works way better than the custom roms. If you are gonna use CM7 then I recommend using a nightly instead of RC1. RC1 didn't seem that stable for me or try out Eagles Blood. Matter of fact try them all and see how you like it. Everyone has mixed feelings on whether to root or stay stock so you decide.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I do prefer stability over custom.
One thing that does bother me is the inability to put the battery percentage where the battery icon is like in CM7 and other roms.

Peggle does not currently work on CM7.

Your welcome. So what's your decision gonna be?

Right now, stability does come from the custom roms.
Plus why torture yourself using stock? There are TONS of sweet features in CM7 that aren't in any stock rom I've ever seen. They literally make your phone experience SO much more enjoyable and easy that you will find running a stock rom is a pain.

I agree that there are many options and features not available in stock. Its one of the reasons I do want to.
I have a stable stock g2x. I have experienced no problems what so ever. No reboots. Lag. Etc which is one of the reasons I haven't.
I haven't decided yet...
Any more comments?

I finally bit the bullet and loaded up CM7. Coming from a stable stock g2x, I haven't seen much if any improvements. Maybe I'm missing something? Not too sure.
It was an easy process and I may go back to 2.2.2 if I get bored, but as of now, I'd say it's not life changing or anything.

Miui or Ginger

I was wondering who was using gingebread or miui
And why
I was on Ginger but I switched to miui
Like the interface better
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV

CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.

I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.
--> Miui and Cm7 are both very good roms.. you should try out both to see what's best for you.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!

love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

I agree but now they have a ics miui can wait to they get on the g2x or o2x ethier way we can get it

yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.

miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it

MIUI all the way. ICS will be on it today

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.

Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

I'd use MIUI if it was as stable as CM is on this phone. MIUI is a great ROM, but i always fall back to CM7 after sometime.

I've been using miui for a few days and I must say it's pretty stable.loving the camera as well.OVERALL switching from a mytouch4g I really miss Sense

[Q] Best rom for efficiency?

Just got my mom this phone and i got the rooting bug, lol.
She's basically just using it for web browsing, text messaging, and taking pics.
What's the best rom out there for efficiency? I want to take off all the sprint bloat & get some better battery life.
Would also like a rom i can add themes to.

You may consider the combo in my signature.
Works well on me.
Very stable with no reboots.
It has the 4G version as well unless I'm mistaken.
My usage is similar to your mom, though.
No gaming at all.
As for theming, I don't know if this ROM can be themed or not as I just like the way it is.

Slim ICS has what ur looking for...
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

Probably want to keep it stock and simple, if you are going to root and theme it it'll make it more frustrating. In fact, setting up for other people, I'll enable root for certain apps and then set it automatically deny.
I have the perfect combination for you:
Kang CM7: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/?id=crespo
Google Apps: http://goo-inside.me/gapps
Stock Launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11421338&postcount=3
CM7 themes:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonny.theme.icsgingerbread
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.david1171.minimalbread
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.theme.sense

CM9 Nightly 20120310 is the best until now from ICS roms

Can we update this?
After so long, i was finally able to root. Well, not able..but i got lazy and didn't bother with it.

This one is super basic and I think the best for the Nexus S. Fast, stable, and great battery life, 1%/h during night with wifi on

Which ROM should I use with my TB?

So I've been out of the whole ROM scene for a while now, I have CM7 on my TB still and it sucks pretty hard, and I'm looking to install a new rom. I mostly tether, text, and sometimes talk on the phone. I'm not that big on apps except like sports center, twitter, and facebook...usuallly don't play games. Any suggestions on where to start?

There isn't much to complain about in regards to CM7, as we don't have a whole lot of new development. Slayher's CM7 build is still my favorite T-Bolt rom in terms of speed and stability. I run a 1.6ghz OC and it's pretty snappy. Thundershed is a very popular ROM right now and is based off of the CM7.2 codebase with an ICS theme, so I would certainly check it out if you are looking for something that feels different. You'll probably want to look into various roms on your own as it's honestly opinionated with a few exceptions.
Team Liquid is also working on an ICS rom that has working Phone and SMS, but data isn't working yet(they are coding the RIL from scratch). I would keep my eye on it as the rom will probably become ready for daily use in the near future. As soon as data works, I'll probably switch over from CM7 unless there are other issues that arise with the rom.

I used to suggest to users any rom by ThunderStick, but he was a complete dbag recently on his rom thread when questioned on one of the issues the rom had. I guess because he moved to a nexus he stopped caring about the TB. I would check out the rom list (thunderbolt development forum) and go through each one. BAMF has always been high on peoples list.

Come on, you asked a question that any amount of thought or common sense should have answered for you, thunderstick and others gave you appropriate responses. Back on topic though, skyraider is great. Thundershed, jellyblur, and sfkcm7 are awesome AOSP roms and worth a look too. There's also a bunch of solid desensed roms out there. It's best to flash some roms and get to know your own tastes that way. After all, only you know what your ideal rom is.

I've been running sfk cm7 for about a week and I love it. Great battery life and slick as hell with tiamats 1.1.5.

All of them.
Signature.

If you're looking for something different, Vicious and SPJester's MIUI rom works very nicely. It's easy to customize using the built in MIUI system. Everything but MMS works I believe, but the way the rom is set up is a bit strange (as there is no app drawer, sort of like IOS). Still, very solid and, having tried pretty much every tbolt rom out there, this is the one I always come back to.

Using JellyBlur v1.3 and having 0 problems so far. Been running it for awhile now without any problems and love it. Thinking about putting it on my husband's Thunderbolt as Skyraider Zues is giving him some problems.

Agreed Jellyblur 1.3 CM7.2 Rocks!

I'm with you, personally Jellyblur 1.3 has been the best running, slickest rom I've used. I've tried Bamf, and quite a few other roms out there. This for me is going to be my daily. I'm hoping we can get ICS (but not counting on it, and the only reason I want it is so the devs can grab the RIL and do something awesome with it).

I love ODJDUB HD express. It's fast really nice and I get great battery life.

Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester
I recently went through most of the recommended ROMs (after unrooting to get the OTA radio update, doing a clean wipe, then re-rooting) and I have landed on Jellyblur V1.3-CM7 y SPJester which seems to be the slickest and best-running I've seen so far. Battery life is good, audio, SMS/MMS, data, and phone work. It is thankfully De-Sensed and instead uses the Go Launcher.

What are some good AOSP roms?

I'm currently on CleanRom 4.5 DE. It's a pretty good Rom. Since the evo 4g I have never really liked Sense. I know with aosp roms you loose the camera quality. Any stable roms out that people would recommend?

You could a found this out by looking into the original android development section however, get cm10 its currently the most stable aosp ROM. Jelly bean goodness on ur phone. Sense blows.

Judging by your comment, you are not ready for aosp roms yet

Dont quote me on this but I'm pretty sure our custom sense ROMs are more stable than our AOSP ROMs. I'm a big fan of sense and to give up my precious sense camera is a hard thing to do, the AOSP ROMs arent far enough along yet for me to make that sacrifice. Just my opinion though

I'm pretty new to Android, but after having sense for 2+ months and just today flashing the CM10 beta in the original development forums, I must say I am very much liking it. True there are definitely some kinks to work out most notable to me the camera is different and speakerphone...but other than that, it is very fast and pretty stable. I'll definitely be following development and sticking to this for a few weeks minimum.

I haven't actually received my One X yet (I should next week) but what actually does change with the camera on AOSP ROMs? I'll probably be putting AOKP on it immediately when I receive it, so I was just wondering.

I personally am I fan of and use AOKP as my daily driver with very few problems. The down is the camera. To fix the problem I keep a back up of the latest sense ROM from XsMagical. So when I have times when I know I will need the camera I can do a quick restore with no problems. It only take a minute or two to back up and restore a ROM on our phones.

So far everyone who has received a One X as a replacement for an S II i777 has received one with 1.85. I'm not even going to get accustomed to Sense. I'm immediately unlocking, rooting, and romming. I really love the pure Android experience since I've had it on my S II. Anyway, what changes does it make to the camera? Does it just change the software (filters, etc) or does it actually change the quality of the photos? Thanks!

AOKP is phenomenal. It is based on CM10, so it is VERY similar, but it is MUCH more customizable

are you getting wakelock issues? my phone on CM10 cannot get into a deep sleep so i'm debating aokp but see that some have similar issues.

About 2 months ago I made the switch to CM10. I was running it for about a week and had to go back to sense. Wakelocks were outrageous. I might give this a go. I've seen pictures taken with an AOSP rom and Ive seen close to Sense quality pictures. Just feel AOSP is so much cleaner and faster. Just hoping alot of the bugs have been fixed. Even wanted to try CM9 but heard it had some issues too.
