New to the G2x Family! - T-Mobile LG G2x

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.
Faux's kernel is .4.5 now btw

Hi all CM7 USERS. Little game :) cm7 count

Hi im just asking all cyanogenmod 7 ser for the sensation to write "cm7 user" ONCE on this thread, i think we all want to know how many of us are out there
Thanks to everyone involved in cm7, goid work!!
So il start
Cm7 user
I've been using CM7 for two weeks now. Miss some aspects of Sense, but happy so far.
CM7 user here.
Im a potential CM7 user. I rooted my Sensation and was going to install ARHD but decided to wait a lil bit and see how CM7 comes along. How is the current CM7 build for the Sensation? I use my phone as my daily driver so I can't have it go wonky on me when Im not home.
I tried CM7 it's great and smooth and it will only get better but i find myself always missing certain aspects of sense.
CM7 User
I personally will never go back to sense
CM7 User here
cm7 user, waiting for alpha 8
Finally flashed my first ever ROM last night and it's CM7. Loving it so far. Haven't really had any time to play with it yet though. Also planned to try out ADRHD but I'll see after I actually get to play around wth CM7 some more.
Tried it one day, but I wasnt really happy and had some reboots, so I switched to Sense3.5.
CM7 user.
Damn sense. Its just non-Sense! Blasphemous I say!

Another happy CM7 user. Battery life and no waiting.

your favorite ROM?

I've been using ****AO5P for a few weeks now and it's absolutely amazing. I don't really know what else to ask for, but is there anything better out there?
Well shiftsense was just as fast and had the same battery life but I recently switched to bamf 1.0.7 and I like it. Lots of mods and themes and same speed, not amazing on battery life but that's okay

I too use BAMF, on double shot right now love the landscape mode on home page.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I've tried a bunch and have settled on BAMF 1.0.7
i've tried em all, but sticking with cm7 for now.. i loved bamf forever, but switched a few days ago because the call answer and sleep of death bugs were too much for me to handle.
ShiftAOSP for AOSP Rom and my rom for a sense Rom.
how do you run two roms at the same time?
Synergy for me.....the latest build is working awesome for me. Was on bamf soab but the "end call" bug kinda scared me away, other than that it was a good rom. Synergy just works for me

Lol nandroid is my friend we go way back!
I guess my fav is stock rooted. I'm in bamf now and it has some really nice features but I don't see any big advantage over stock rooted. I'm going to try to give bamf a week b4 I make up my mind though.
I'd love an open source rom but I keep reading about one bug after another. I like everything to just...work.

If I run into either of those bugs I'm back to stock rooted. I went into bamf tools and chose 2.1 lock screen so I hope that will prevent the end call bug.
The sleep of death bug wont bother me too much as long as it is very rare and the phone can be turned on. Sleep of death to brick would be bad

Son of a Bliss is awesome. If you like sense 3.0, you'll hate it after you try a sense 3.5 Rom. I always hated 3.0. Too laggy. Sense 3.5 FLIES!!!

BAMF forever, smoothest sense rom out there IMO
I was never an AO5P fan but when i tried SHIFTAO5P HACK3ED and i absolutely love it. However i was a Bamf fan when i first rooted, switched to Infused Theory and loved it when 3.0 was added so i think i will have to try 3.5. I have seen videos and it looks good. Link? im not seeing it in xda, he move like theory did?
Edit: nm google told me
wow his list of bugs looks annoying? =/ ill try but i think it will be a 1 day thing. thats not to say ShiftAO5P Hacked doesnt have bugs but i have foud a few but i can live with them.
Yeah I began with minibamf which was vanilla also then I started messing with cm7 mods and stuff fell.in love, as I progressed I thought shift ao5p hack3d was great but this new romicied iBolt Tom based off OC he aforementioned rom is SOOOOO FAST

CM7 is working for me right now. It may be getting a little bit old, but since it is running stable for me at the moment, I will probably stick with it until AT&T releases GB for our lovely big screened handheld supercomputer... jk we will never get GB... at least not before we get ICS

Thanks again for our infuse members placing their votes, i really wanted to see how our members have been using these roms , especially with the incredible dumps which have been coming lately lmao
Tried a good few of the roms available, like them all but seem to keep falling back to CM7. The phone just seems to run the best with it. And the UCKJ1 modem is the best I've found for the area I live in!

Sorry, but I didn't (I did some searching, but I didn't actually try to install it). I did everything using only MIUI's built-in settings and GO Launcher.

ROM Recommendation please?

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!

Weapon or Tsugi. Love weapon G2x because it is really stable amd has great toggles. Tsugi is great also but i really want the toggles.
Sent from my G2X
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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
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

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

Using latest version of Eaglesblood with faux kernel. It's stable, and battery life is awesome. I'm not into ROM swapping. When find one that works, I stick with it, and it's looking like I'll be with this one for a while. Maybe when an ICS ROM gets refined, I'll give it a go. I would like to have Chrome on the android.
Using CM 7.2 RC1 with faux ds kernel. I get about thirteen hours of medium use, light use lasts a couple of days.
It's a great stock rom without the problems of LG based ones.

Weapon G2x 3.0 R1
Cm7 7.2 RC1
Actually looks fine. But I notice more stutter than before, perhaps the ICS animation is bogging it some down.
Still a fan of CM7/Cm9.
I can honestly say, I'm sticking to the G2X despite having a Galaxy GS2. I truely enjoy the Cyanogen ROMS and can't wait for it to come CM9 on G2X and GS2
Also that Samsung is too big. Should have waited. Not sure I'll get any device over 4 inch screen. But thats me
