How is CM7 working now? when I had one, it would drop data, boot with no data, and the battery drivers were all screwed up...how is it now? Have a lot of the mistakes been corrected from the original G2x's that were shipped? (reboots, data drops, etc)...??? Any help would be appreciated. Tired of this Single core phone, and found a good deal on a G2x.

Mine is working great.. Came running 2.3.3 with no problems. I rooted and left stock rom for awhile still no problems. Then flashed faux123's oc/uv kernel ran fantastic. Tried a few different roms and settled on triggers 8/22 2.3.5 rom with faux123's oc/uv kernel as my daily driver with no problems so far...

Running the CM7 nightly on my G2x for past two days. Haven't noticed any problems. Been stable, battery life is good.
The APN Issue is still there, but it no longer drops data. Battery life is AMAZING now.
I couldn't deal with the piece of **** iPhone 4. I came running back to the G2x. Ive kept it stock so far and it's amazing!

I've been running MIUI. WiFi Calling isn't working yet (which sucks) but I'm using Faux's 4.2 Kernel and getting great battery life and very little issues.
With Faux's kernel, WiFi will sometimes fail which requires a restart, and sometimes using USB Mass Storage will lock up.
Sounds bad, but aside from WiFi calling not working, the other issues are pretty rare.

yes one of the most stable roms, it is based off stock 2.3.3 but imo way better with the edt tweaks such as lockscreens and battery configurations, very fast and reliable
By the way. Has the reboot issue been fixed if i flash the newest weapon?

For me, I had absolutely no reboots at all on the newest version until I went and flashed Faux's OC/UV kernel. To be fair, my battery life is plenty better, just a little unstable. Weapon by itself is amazing.
EDIT: Forgot to say I came from 2.3.5, so I came from a complete wipe.
I have random boot loop issues every once in a while (once or twice a week) ever since flashing the Revolution HD 3.6.4 ROM.
I did nothing to the phone other than flash the rom and the 'recommended' radio, so whatever kernel came bundled with the rom is what I stuck with (I believe it's kernel 0.2.3.16 by faux123 according to the RevHD readme).
I'd like to attempt to eliminate this boot loop issue by flashing a different kernel but there are many out there. Can someone chime in and recommend a stable kernel, other than the 0.2.3.16, that you are happy with?
Other than the random boot loop issues, I'm really happy with this rom!
I used the default faux kernel at first but switched to bricked v1.4r1 after having major battery drain. Everything has been working perfectly for days and battery life is great. No problems at all
Bricked!!!
The first week I've used Faux... Its pretty good, but had higher drain with it.
Tried Bricked and now still with Bricked...
Odd that people are experiencing battery drain issues with the Faux kernel. Battery IMPROVEMENT was the first thing I noticed when switching to Rev HD.
I'll give Bricked a try. I avoided it till now... something about a kernel called "Bricked" that is non-confidence inspiring.
So I'm taking it Revolution HD and the Bricked v1.5 kernel play well together? Any recommended apps RevHD includes that I should delete due to compatibility issues?
I read someplace that Daemon Controller doesn't work well with Bricked, or may be I read it as works "better" on Faux...
Either way, all I need to do is make a Nandroid backup and flash with Revolutionary correct???
~EDIT~
It appears there's 3 Bricked kernels available. Which one do I want?
*v1.5* [ondemand, smartassv2 optional, PREEMPTIBLE, recommended] Click me
*v1.5* [ondemand, smartassv2 optional, PREEMPTIBLE, [email protected]] Coming soon, for now: Good night - Not all devices can handle this!
for: v1.5, Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5 [CAMFIX] Click me

The "recommended" or the Sense 3.5 one???
~EDIT x2~
Duh, nevermind; "camfix" is just that. It's a camera fix for the other "recommended" kernel. RTFM
Yep, that's all you need to do. (At least, it's what I did and it work fine). I am also running bricked and I notice better life than Faux. Boots quicker too.
yup bricked worked for me too! with faux the battery drain was crazy!!!!
Faux 0.2.4 beta 3 seems to have cured the battery drain. Also, I am getting better performance with this kernel compared to bricked.

Do I need to wipe any cache files? The official Bricked thread doesn't make any mention of needing to delete anything.
How to install?
Just flash from recovery. Though it creates a boot.img out of the one on your phone while flashing, it should work with the majority of ROMs out there.

I used the stock and it was fine but alot of positive feedback from bricked
I'm using the one that came with the rom. Battery life isn't TOO bad. But I'm still patiently waiting for 3.6.5 that's supposed to be out today.
Bricked is easily THE Kernel to use!
Its stable as a rock - since I've begun using it I have never had a boot loop
I used to have V0.91 and it was soo smooth it gave butter a run for its money!
However, I'm not so sure about the new v1.5 Kernel. It doesn't feel as smooth as 0.91. I also had V1.4r1 which wasn't as smooth as 0.91 either.
I'm wondering if it's something i've done because everyone's raving about how smooth V1.5 is.
I'm still using bricked 0.91 and is rock solid.
No need to update to any other version or kernel because is so lighting fast that is not worth changing to something else.

I have used both bricked and faux kernels. Here are my observations: Faux is faster but has bad idle battery life. I actually get better awake battery life using faux. Bricked seems to be slower but I get amazing idle battery life.
I have used bricked 1.4r2 and faux 2.3b4, 2.3b16, 2.3r3, and 2.4b6.
If you use bricked be aware that not all phones can support the 320Mhz GPU version.
After installing ARHD , it ran well, fine battery life, no hiccups, after some days it started showing colours. Battery drain was major also the heat issue, non stable, read somewhere It's kernel issue so changed to briked kernel, guess what no issues.
Im using Bricked 1.5 @ 1.56Ghz but have tested up to 1.83Ghz without problems, works awesome. was using Bricked 1.4rc1, with the GPU @ 320mhz

This is exactly what i experienced when comparing the 2. Although new faux kernel is only slightly worse idle battery life, no longer bad battery life
I'm using Bricked 1.5 with ARHD 3.6.5 and it's the best ROM/kernel combination I've ever used. Blazing fast and my temps never get above 25c (but temperatures dropped a lot anyway when I got the anker battery)
The First 5 nanoseconds I used the default Kernel coming with the rom...as soon as the 6th nanosecond was about to start, my battery jumped out of my Sensation XE, running around and tried beating me, giving me Bad names and so on...finally it begged for another Kernel...and I flashed 1.5 bricked one....the battery jumped back into my phone and feels very comfortable right now in combination...also with 3.6.5...so I do
well I gotta say, going from arhd 3.6.5 to cmd7 made a world of difference in terms of battery saving. maybe in the future I'll go back to arhd.
Hi folks,
Somewhere along the line, with all the rom updates that have gone on, I seem to have hit a sour point.
It's as if all of the Sense 3.5 roms i've tried have a laggy app drawer. Like the scrolling feels off and unresponsive.
I've found them to have better battery life though, which is why i've felt the need to update.
I did have a Sense 3.0 rom and kernel combo months ago that was great for both, but I cannot recall which one it was amongst all the updates.
I've just changed from Pyramid 3D 8.30 + bricked 1.6 b6 kernel. Perfectly fast, stable. But the phone drained like 17% overnight in idle which is far too hungry. (Had data and wifi disabled)
That use to be more like 1 or 2% in comparison, i'm not sure if it was the rom or kernel but it's perfectly fast.
I've just gone onto the Energy rom, great rom but it has that awful app drawer lag that drives me nuts. No idea how people aren't bothered by it.
Seems the Sense 3.0 roms are much cleaner and swifter but there don't seem to be any of those around now.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I'm already using the Anker battery.
im on the same page as you but as you have stated sense roms are not perfect and need some work still, im hoping that ics will fix this but time will only tell..
For now i suggest looking at arhd 4.1.9 which imo is the fastest and most stable sense rom but you should also look into trips aosp rom just for a look, this rom shows the potential of the phone as it is super quick and responsive it actually made my gaw drop with amazemnt.
What's the camera like on those AOSP ones tho?
Like i said you should have a look at the aosp just to see what its like but as for its stability it does have a few problems, crashes here and there and the camera should work but for me it doesn't.

Actually Piramid 3D 8.30 is based on HTC official 3.0 Sense and official 1.73.401.2 XE ROM - Android 2.3.4, did you wiped battery stats after charging continously from less than 5% to 100% in 8-12 hours time? If you did this, only idea I have is to change kernel to Bricked-v1.5-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984 and installing cam-fix.zip straight after to have working camera. I'm using this one now with SENSEaY 2.1.0, installed Virtuous O/C flashable.zip and Virtuous Controller.apk by myself to get rid of SetCPU, everything runs smoothly. For me battery lasts for 30-40 hours of moderate use (3G + xda app, some calls, texts, internet). With screen off it seems to drain 1% every hour.

Do you know any stable ICS AOSP ROMs for the Sensation?
Have not seen a stable ICS AOSP rom yet, most ICS roms are like a beta so expect issues for a while.
Answering the original poster, RevertedASOP is a gingerbread 2.3.7 aosp build; it is my daily driver and has zero lag for me, even when underclocked on Faux's kernel. No sense components of course, but if it is speed you are after then try it out.
What ROM/Kernel setup are you guys using that you've found good stability with?
Any suggestions?
Skyrocketeer with flashed Rogers radio. It's very stable, had some slight issues with the sms timestamps but with the help of SMStimeFIX from market it was solved. Also still looking to confirm if i obtain full 50mb/s LTE speed but until i got back to that spot where i always get it, i wont be able to confirm. It's a nice looking rom, snappy, fast, good battery life, nice emprovements
Stock rom. I've tried a few, including sky ics. Good rom but I still found stock more stable. But it depends on the user. I don't like to search as to why apps keep fcing. I just like it when I use my phone that it runs smooth. The rogers stock is good. Isn't any bloaware to slow it down. However I did get rid of the odd app and widget installed
hey i tried some roms soo far. the roms/kernel id recommend is either use sky/tpc/rocketeer. kernel wise id stay away from all kernels i mean no offence given devs work hard on kernel, but unless you rogers folks wanted a heat around camera area for everyday i know i don't use stock rogers kernel its snappy @ 1.5ghz + no lags + my heavy day to day lasts me 1 and 1/2 day with full use of wifi,bt,browser and games. just remove all the bloatware and u'll see.
Stock Rom for me, although I have started to play with Go Launcher to spice things up a little bit. Waiting for ICS my self.
Stock here as well, tried a few roms, and aside from over or under clocking, which I love, there haven't been any roms or kernels as stable so far. If someone comes up with a great way to 'clock let's hear it!
Also, anyone have a comprehensive list of bloatware on the 727R yet? That's a post I'd love to see!

Runnin skyicecream sandwich jugglin between faux and romracer kernel cant get the romracer to deepsleep. Running faux at 1.5gz max with setcpu and its pretty stable no fc or sod. Smooth and fast.
rooted using sky ICS
tried cyanogen for a bit and liked it but sky ics just looks so nice. i get a few fcs but it doesnt bother me cause it reboots the program real fast
really good battery life on it, 15 hours at 70%
I've been on Android for over 3 years now..
Had so many different roms on my devices. This one I've used syrocketeer, was nice, smooth stable, not many issues.
Tried SkyIce Cream Sandwich rom. Was pissed off it was just a theme of ICS on 2.3.6 IMO name is very misleading, but whatever, to each his own. Was a good stable rom if you want a nice overlay of ICS, had a few issues with FC but the dev gives pretty good instructions on how to fix it.
Most of these I was running primarily until Cyanogen team came out with something stable enough to put on my phone. As I've always found CM to be the best thing you can run.
Newest build for me has been very stable - running Da_G kernel. No issues except for the call issue posted in their forums. I think that was supposed to be fixed in the latest update, however I haven't gotten around to updating. Turning GPS on seemed to work to fix the issue tho. I would never change to anything else (unless real ICS rom came out, then would only stay on that till CM9 came out with a stable enough release)
I have confirmed in most parts of Toronto where reception is decent enough I'm getting an average of 30+ mbps. Closer to downtown core upwards of 40mbps and in a few cases up to 58mbps. So LTE works great on that ROM as well.
i use Bouyancy 1.2.1 with 360 launcher doesn't change baseband smooth and snappy
SkyRocket ICS 2.9.2
faux kernal 2.6.35.14......
max clock 1.296
min clock 384
screen off max 384
screen off min 192
runs smooth as hell, great battery life
not one issue with ANYTHING!!!
Sky is very smooth and nice with faux kernel no problems here
TPC V3 with Da_g 0.43 kernel. No issue at all. Very stable.

Rooted, stock rom & kernel, ADW launcher.
I was loving Darkyy on my SGS but even though I played with a couple ROMS and kernels on the SII LTE I went back to stock. Solid, fast, and good battery life.
I did freeze and uninstall most of what I could identify as bloatware and the horrid touchwiz slowpoke. I picked up ADW EX when it was on the 10 for 0.10 sale, and like it better (landscape mode and the ability to customize the dock easily is a big bonus).

Using the Stock rom. Haven't had one issue with it and since I'm coming from a Touch pro 2 running WM 6.1 this thing is fast enough as is......For now.
Stock myself, played around with a few ROMs but ended up liking the reliability of the stock. Eagerly awaiting ICS and CM 9.
I have flashed almost all of the ROMs on here and in my opinion the snappiest one was the Quikwiz 1.0.3 and skyrocketeer was pretty quick as well. Right now im running stock though because as almost everybody said it is the most stable build for Rogers rightnow. I am trying to get the stock-ish kernel by romracer on my phone right now. If anybody has flashed that i would like to know how the battery and speed were? Thanks
Stock Rom for me, i tried Da_G's Kernel but got alot of SOD's. There were a few fixes such as deleting modules etc but none of those ever fixed it. Sadly I'm getting poor battery life on my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE even with JuiceDefender Ultimate installed. Before JuiceDefender I was about to take the phone back, now it's just sub par battery life. As for now I'm done with messing around on flashing the phone , at least until we get our stock ICS ROM. It should be coming out soon, that's my hope.
I've flashed Sky and TPC. Both are fairly stable, but I'm not getting any where close to the battery life some of these AT&T guys are getting.
I'm a fairly heavy user—LTE on all day, but I have wifi on at work and home.
I personally don't feel that flashing a new ROM has done anything for my battery life, however it HAS improved my usability factor (both Sky and TPC have been able to grant me a sizeable performance increase).
Hey guys, I bought myself a Nexus S one month ago and I've flashed about 15 different ICS ROMs. Is it just me or are there almost no stable ICS ROMs? All of them had random reboot issues apart from AOKP and CM9. I had no reboots on AOKP but the clock got stuck every 2nd day, so my phone wouldn't wake me in the morning which is even worse. CM9 I liked a lot, but I couldn't phone in the hands free mode (don't know the propper name of it in english) because the mic wasn't loud enough. Currently I'm on ras cream sandwich and it reboots while i'm listening to music which is really frustrating. Oh and before i forget, I always flashed matr1x kernel and used smartass governor, no OC.
Is there any stable ICS ROM apart from CM9 and AOKP? Or can i fix the other bugs?
Thanks in advance!
Your problem is the kernel, not the rom. My phone also reboots while listening to music in the undervolted matrix kernel. Stay with rascream and flash the _thalamus kernel and see how stable it is. That kernel is really stockish and stable. If you don't want to flash you could try to raise your voltages to stock values in nstools. Some phones like undervolting, some not. ;-)
Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk
hm I didn't know matrix kernel was undervolted, I thought that's only the case with trinity TEUV kernel by default well I'll try another kernel for the time being and see how that goes.
Yeah. Some of our phones can't handle the voltages mathkids kernel supplies outta the box unfortunately. Either adjust them back to the stock ones or search for another kernel. I prefer either thalamus or Simple Kernel. I just recently flashed the latest version of the former and its great. You can try Air kernel if you want a few more governors and whatnot.

Like.. that's what STOCK is all about.
The people that made the phone are the most interested in making a stable ROM, no compromises.
Most stable and fast rom
Try APEX ROM 1.1.2 (latest release), that's what i'm using until aokp milestone 6 comes out. there is no lag, no reboots (just if u OC too much),...
Slim rom with no tweaks is smooth. Try it and u will not regret it.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
MIUI roms are very stable these days.

Well it differs from phone to phone. My phone is good with Matrix kernel. Might be one of the best custom kernels to run for my phone if not the best. Matrix isn't a compromise for my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
For several days I'm with Slim ICS and Matr1x and I have no problems with random restarts. No OC and no tweaks!
Try CyberGR ROM
I have installed CyberGR ROM and I have not suffered any reboot. I followed one by one all the steps of the development part and I'm quite happy with it.
Good luck.
Well, if you really want stable, get Stock 4.0.4. I'm on 1100+ hours on uptime without a single reboot... The only thing I've done to the stock 4.0.4 is getting root.
I would also like to know. from my own experience, stock 4.0.4 is best, but can CM9 very be made that stable? I'm running it now with ink kernel and no tweaks and it seems slightly laggy :/ should I flash brainmasters tweak pack?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Bugless Beast hasn't given me any issues. I've rebooted to flash other kernels but the only two kernels that have given consistent performance are Simple(stock with bln) and thalamus. Once I get my new battery, I may see how long I can go without rebooting. But if you want rock solid, go with stock ROM. Hell, my cousin has an EVO 4G and has almost 1200 hours up time. Lol.

AOSP+ definitely belongs to this category. Stock with a few useful modifications.
You should try AOKP again
I know you've already used AOKP but you should try/flash it again. I'm sure that the clocking was freezing because of some flashing issue.
Go to this link and download the milestone-5 version (m5) of AOKP. Also, you should use this rom with matr1x v19.5 cfs.
Milestone means that it's stable, so you shouldn't have problems with it. I use this rom and matr1x 19.5 on my daily device and haven't had any problems nor reboots. Great performance and great battery life too. Besides that, the rom is highly customizable.
Apart from stock, Have you tried BuglessBeast? Very stable. No need to flash any custom kernels.
if ur using ra scream use one of the trinity kernels. its super stable, super smooth, and long battery life
im using this black ice rom, in love with it .. shud try

I searched the internet and apparently I'm not the only one with that problem. I tried AOKP twice (i think build 32 or something and m5), always with matr1x kernel. Could this also be a kernel Issue?
I don't know that much about Android, but what I found out in the past days is that my Nexus S can't handle UV. I also get very high Android OS battery usage sometimes but I don't know why. High meaning Android OS once used more battery than display even though i had 2h screen on time. I suspect it's got something to do with titanium backup not restoring apps correctly, but that's just a stab in the dark.
Currently I'm on Apex v1.1.2 with stock kernel. No random reboots so far. I didn't restore apps via titanium backup (which was a pain in the ass). So far Android OS seems to use way less battery than before. But yesterday I had something like SOD when received a call while using TuneIn, so I had to pull the battery and call back. Not what I call stable.
I know that's a lot of text and probably also a bit OT sometimes but I hope some of you will read it , I'm not really a flashoholic and I'm getting sick and tired of switching roms, but I need my phone to be reliable. I'm really tempted to just switch back to stock ROM with stock kernel at the moment...
the things I'd really like to have is bln, notification toggles and stability.
