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

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

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

Hey guys I just wanted to start a thread where people can post their setup including rom kernel modem or anything else that seems fit. This does not mean that any are the best but it may give other people cool ideas on how to make theirs better.
Here's mine and its nothing special.
I have cm7 with a kernal that allows me to overclock it to 1.7 (its a beta and is version 12 or something) then I use voltage control to overclock to 1.2 and undervolt. I also just use the stock modem. Some cool apps I use are widgetlocker which allows Widgets on your lock screen and circle launcher.
I am definatly not an expert so sorry for any mistakes.

I'm running latest Miui with stock kernel and modem. Overclocked to 1.2Ghz with voltage control. Work has been crazy lately and I've been too lazy to experiment with different modems and kernels
Im on Cog 5. No overclocking, no nothing. Just stock Cog 5.
I am using the gingerbread launcher, though, instead of touchwiz. I prefer its simplicity.
This is the best my phone has ever worked.

Well, I just got my Captivate (old version), and I'm loving it!!
I've switched ROM's a lot, but now I'm on Dlev 4.2 - Talon kernel.
I'm pretty sure this is overclocked, given the Quadrant scores. Battery life is pretty good - a little more than a day with regular use (games, browsing, talking, texting).
So if I went to miui would I have to reflash my v12 kernel that you other guys have to? I like the way miui looks but I wish it had touchwiz

Cm7 with faux 0.4.3 kernel. Everything works. Bluetooth and apns are fixed. And its 2.3.7 gingerbread

You can download an app called getril from the market it will check
you're ril(radio interface layer) to see if it matches you're baseband and if not will also allow you to change it, its not custom ril's but will insure you have the right one.

CM7 stable with the morfic kernel is awesome! Ver. 2.3.7 and all components work fine except for small apn fallout but a hard reboot fixes that issue.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I have tried CM7 and Weapon. With CM7 I encountered problems with WiFi calling not working reliably (a hard reboot would fix this but I found myself having to do this often) and losing apns (I hear that this may be fixed now), so I finally gave up and tried Weapon G2x.
For me Weapon G2x has been rock solid and everything I need works. I have heard that some people have trouble with HDMI out at 1080p, but I have not used the HDMI port on the phone yet so cannot comment.
I have not tried EB.
I like Euroskanks CM7 kanged cherry pickings. Good stuff.
I am running ICS (AOKP?) on my G2x, and have installed many apps. Recently I noticed that the phone kind of runs slow - sometimes laggy when I open such as apps as pandora and google docs, etc. That makes me wonder if I should look for a faster ROM. Which one is the fasted? ICS is generally more resource hungry? or Gingerbread could be lighter and faster generally speaking?
Go with an OC/UV kernel instead. You can try faux049b5 or morfics or harsh 1904 or 1504 with OC. They are all good in their own sense.
The respective links of the kernels are in the development section.
Anything besides ICS
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, there's a few things we need to know. Who's ROM are you using? EaglesBlood, Hellfire, CM9, Team Kangs? And what kernel are you running? The stock included in the ROM or did you flash a different one?
I'm using EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.3 with stock Faux Kernel. I didn't have that issue. That's one recommendation. Depending on which one your using will depend in other recommendations. If you decide you use AOSP (MIUI) instead I recommend Stormaggedon's ROM's. MIUI.us kept giving me force crash errors for force crash errors for a force crash error for reporting the force crash on start up. Didn't matter how long it sat nor how many times I restarted it.
Try EaglesBlood first. I'm about to clash Hellfire ICS with the harsh kernel. I'll let you know how that runs.
Edit: HellFire ICS with Harsh Kernel works nice. Its smooth, no lag, oh and in the developers settings have kill all apps when you leave them. Try that as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Pretty much all the roms are fast on here. Its what you use your phone for and install on it that eventually start slowing it down.
I know I personally favor the hellfire phoenix rom, but asking or saying which rom is the best/fastest is kinda ignorant as they all are the best for their own reasons.

Your missing one update. He's up to 1.09 now. Oh and um... yeah, GB is slow. Something I figured out when I made the change to ICS. But, I think I'll humor it. Ive been looking for a half decent GB rom. Might try EB's out.

Are you saying ICS roms are faster then any gb rom?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Go with any GB rom (CM7.2 RC1 for me with Faux kernel), they are much smoother and faster than ICS roms currently are. I have tried every ICS rom (even with harshs latest kernels as of yesterday) and while they have made great strides I find CM7.2 RC1 to still be much smoother and faster (especially under heavy usage).
trying hellfire 2.1 with faux kernel
Let me try this simpler as no one replied.
What ROM and Kernel is your favorite combination for Gingerbread and/or ICS?
Any major bugs with a workaround?
And at one point I had an ICS ROM that let MX Player play with no choppiness but absolutely cannot remember which ROM I had flashed! Is anyone running ICS and able to playback videos? I keep reading and reading and not finding an answer on that one. I understand that it won't capture video, but that is ok. Anyone?
I'm currently using MIUI 204130 with the stock kernel underclocked to 816 to save battery but this ROM worked well with Faux's 052 also. So far this has been the best set up I've tried as far as stability, performance, and battery life.
I was also using TonyP's Paranoid Android (versions 6-10, haven't tried 11 yet) and was able to play video just fine using MX player without issues.
My favorite setup is what's in my Sig. Can't tell you about mx player, though, haven't tried it

I tried your setup, and it ran smooth. But I am dependant on Wifi Calling APP and it seems when I activate it I get "process com.android.phone has stopped, every 20-30 secs. I tried setting up with stock CM9 kernel, as well as older Harsh kernerls. Still same issue so swapped back to Hellfire Phenoix 2.3 w/ Fauxs 052.
Any suggestions on the com.android.phone crash? I can't find a definite fix on the Development forums. I had this issue with Hellfire Sandwhich as well.
Think there is an issue with Tmo Wifi calling app and ICS.

You really don't need super charger with that combination. I have the same and I find no lag when multi tasking.
At OP, if interested in ics. Try paranoid Android. It's a hybrid phone/tablet ROM.it's default kernel is good enough but you can try harsh kernel with it as well.

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.
