Stock my best bet?

so sup guys. I'm getting my charge tomorrow as a replacement for this fascinate which I loved especially the devs. But seeing all these problems with the roms I'm guessing staying stock might be my best guess. If any of you have had problems that make a rom unusable or haven't had any problems at all I would love to hear from you

I tell you its so easy to flash back to start it would be worth it to flash a rom period. Now that said I am on Humble 1.4 from with voodoo kernel, and there is no problems at at. Everything in this rom is butter smooth. I wouldn't worry about what people say about different roms. If you listen to what everyone says, then you might be scared of everything.
Enjoy the phone

I came from the Fassy as well I received my Charge today. Its as easy to root as the Fassy and I have had no problems with the humble Rom yet.
They do have the odin to get back to stock, but its all your comfort level.
Also you will see some familiar faces in the development forum here.
Sent from my Humble Charge.

I rooted my Charge with the Humble Odin package within 24 hours of getting it. I haven't had a problem yet and am undeniably pleased with the performance of my phone.
All the issues I've had have been operator error when trying to upgrade to newer versions (which was twice, and I swear I'm going to remember to disable voodoo next time lolol).

Thanks for the quick input guys. I'm pretty Co.fortable I flashed the balls off my fascinate(even managed to permanently brick once - phone turned on to orange screen and that was all) lolol seems like humbles the way to gO. I can't wait for official legit MIUI.

I will miss aosp and JTs CM7 but i read that OMFGB is already in the works and i like what i saw on the Fassy from them.

I came from a fascinate myself. Ive tried almost every rom with almost every kernel. I was getting quad scores of upper 1600s with humble 1.4 and imnuts 709 kernel and i over clocked it to 1.4. The battery life was twice of my fascinate on that set up. About 3-4 hrs of hard use. I'm about customizing though. I now use gummy gb with a theme. The quad scores are mid 1200s. These are what Ive found to be the best and have little to no flaws. Hope this helps.

If I was you, I would probably wait until Friday and flash the release that danalo is coming out with for Humble (Froyo). 1.4 seems to have some minor bugs that you may want to avoid that should be completely ironed out in the next release of Humble. The GB roms don't appear to have the maturity to get past some of the weird bugs such as terrible battery life and reduced LTE speeds so I would probably stay away from them for now.
Humble with animations off and LCD density set back to 240 has been running perfectly for me.

I've been running gb for a few days now and have no bugs at all. The battery is almost the same has humble froyo. The only catch with humble 1.4 that I found was no gb keyboard. To solve that you go to titanium back up before flashin 1.4 backup gb keyboard flash 1.4 then back to titanium to restore gb keyboard.

[Q] might be coming back to G2x...?'s

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.

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.

What roms are the fellow rogers people flashing?

I've been on stock for several months now and still loving it, but today I decided I think I would now move onto flashing a rom on this. (Inspiration to do so because of the iPhone 4s) I notice this phone does lag and I want to clear that up if a rom will do that. So my question is what Rom would be safe for a Roger's phone and will not boot up with one of those AT&T screens. What rom is everyone using out there?
Im more or less just asking for a suggestions haha.

Have you looked into overclocking?
I'm running the stock Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 and love it.
Overclocked to 1.6Ghz
Infusion-GB Core-A2
OC/UV w/ SetCPU
Memory tweaks w/ Auto killer
I get outstanding performance, perfectly stable & have doubled my stock battery life.
Overclocking will give you much greater performance increases over a ROM change, especially since we're fortunate enough to have been given the lovely Gingerbread stock.
Undervolting will keep you running cool & save you a lot of battery power too.

If you are particular with the wifi calling features and battery life, you can stick on GB as it's good at that point but if you want fancy looking and customization
go grab some ICS flavor specially AOKP as it features a lot.. just make sure to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 before flashing ICS it will help you a lot and save you from headache.. now take some time to read and good luck..

I used lumin30's post to flash my phone before, the thing is I'm not sure where to look to find out the proper way to upgrade to ICS.

Technically there isn't really a "proper" way to upgrade to ICS on our phone, as Samsung stopped releasing official firmware upgrades after Gingerbread.
If you used lumin's post to flash your phone, you should already have CWM, so all you have to do to upgrade to ICS is flash CyanogenMod 9 or AOKP through recovery (or your ICS ROM of choice, I know a lot of them require you to already be on CM9 or AOKP before flashing though).
Keep in mind though that once you're on ICS, you have to one-click back to stock to go back to Gingerbread. Also, as mentioned above, battery life isn't the best on ICS and you won't have access to wi-fi calling. But with ICS you do get the latest and greatest (for our phone) and a lot more customization.

Do not feed the troll!

Battery Life is the main reason gb is better you may miss some other features like 4G but you'll gain many others in return like dramatically improved performance.
I say wait till bhundven and his team finish the Aries kernel before you switch so you have a solid upgrade you won't regret. You'll love ics at first but unless you don't use your phone that much you'll miss roms like Valhalla black for their great battery. This is why there's been a recent mass - GB migration from ICS.

You're right ics roms don't show 4G but they run it. On that topic, tmobile actually has an advantage for not supporting Lte because it means they can support quad core phones like the newly coming htc one x +

Thanks for this. Any idea when the kernel will be done?

First off, the "ICS has crappy battery life" is hardly an etched-in-stone thing. Many of us, who have taken the time to understand what is consuming battery, have more-than-acceptable battery life on ICS. Keep in mind though that each subsequent Android release has more "features" which will, in general, mean more CPU/GPU power required to use them, as well as Google bringing along more and more data requirements in their apps and services.
Second, Aries isn't going to "magically" solve anything, especially when it first comes out. While it may be better than the current kernel in some respects, it is likely to be worse in others, at least until we can find the issues and resolve them. It is important to remember that for many people the biggest changes that can be made to improve battery life is what applications you are running and how, not a kernel or a ROM.
As far as when, when its done. You can follow the CM9 dev thread for updates, but you won't find any promises as to when it is ready to be a "daily driver." While I flash Aries pretty regularly, I also have Heimdall at the ready, as well as several other ROMs and kernels available for when I need something that I can trust to use as a phone.
I wouldn't hold off on trying the ROMs that are available for the SGS4G at this point in time, GB and ICS both, and decide for yourself. Try them for several days each. While some ROMs I have tried I just haven't liked the UI and know I won't like them from that, knowing how a ROM performs as far as stability and battery life go, you can't really tell until you've had it running for a week or so after the novelty of the new ROM wears off and you start just using it as you usually do.

My biggest battery drain turned out to be obsessively searching for a battery drain solution on the xda app.

My battery is lasting for days now, even overnight, and, in bad reception areas.
My phone and WIFI service are spotty, in and out, all day in my office.
Biggest improvements:
fresh SD card.
refresh battery stats
flush cache
flush dalvik
fix permissions
let wifi sleep during sleep.
kill DSP and Google apps running
Once the phone runs for a day and a half rebuilding itself, battery had less drain, and boots very fast.
c'est la vie

Regarding battery life....if you want to be able to install whatever apps and not run batterystats and be selective about what your phone is doing and get great battery life then run GB. I have flashed and run every ROM since the Robbit / Team Whiskey days and for the average user ICS roms will not give the battery life a GB ROM will when running the same apps and services. I've had two SGS4's for 2 years and it's been the same for both of them. For the record the best legitimate battery life I ever got (meaning I'm running phone without tweaking certain apps and services to turn off etc...) was Dsex's original ICBINB with his original UV settings from that thread. I constantly had 3+ days of battery life on both phones...it would lose less than 1% in 10 hours of standby.
I love the ICS ROM's and understand that people are passionate about them considering all of the work that Team Acid and the likes have put into them....I am too. I work at a computer all day and my phone sits on charge so battery life isn't really an issue for me....as stated in other threads the only thing keeping me on GB is the busted voodoo sound on ICS.
On ICS ROM's I'm getting 10 to 11 hours (which I do consider acceptable ), tops, without messing with the phone to extend battery life. Flash back to any GB ROM and I'm getting 18 to 20 with the same apps and usage. I'm not dissing ICS, just being honest.

It doesn't work. Seems like it's working up until you make or receive a phone call then the analogue volume quits working. Also sound continues to be heard through handset speaker when headphones are plugged in.
When I first went back to GB my wifes SGS4G was still on CM9 I did a direct comparison of the audio on both phones and it was obvious that voodoo sound wasn't doing what it should on ICS even after a reboot when the analogue slider is working. There is noticeable distortion at higher levels, the noise floor is audibly higher and the phone just plain won't go as loud. If you have 2 phones to A/B compare the difference is very clear.

[Q] Most stable p999 4.0+ version?

What is the most stable version of ICS/Jelly Bean available for the Wind G2X? I read that the phone finally got an official update for ICS from LG. Where can I get this rom? What ICS Rom's have you had the best performance with? Without compromising on important features like audio/camera, etc.

Your expectations are much too high. This phone barely has cm7 working with minimal bugs. Sorry to disappoint.

Sadly, if you had an O2X (p990), you would be in business.
With the G2X (p999), you are not going to get an ICS/JB Rom without serious compromise. You either give up hardware accelleration, battery life, video recording with hackfests -- or you give up the ability to make/receive calls/use cellular data on the 10.1 from mazout, etc.. There does not exist an ICS/JB Rom that is an acceptable daily driver on the G2X - it simply doesn't exist.
I hope you didn't just buy that phone, cause you got ripped off if you wanted ICS/JB.

The words "acceptable daily driver" are opinion really. I use Tonyp's Jellybean Hackfest build 9 and the newest version of mazouts kernel and smooth performance, and battery life that lasts me through the day. It has never crashed for me or rebooted either.
But then again, I don't care about video recording so I didn't even know it didn't work. And what does not having hardware acceleration really ruin anyways? I don't really see the point of watching Netflix on a 4 inch screen anyways.
But like I said, its all just opinion. You should try a few different ROMs with different kernel combinations and see what works for you.

Although I am not a Wind G2x user; (I have T-Mobile) I recommend moving off of 2.2 Froyo and moving up to at least Gingerbread 2.3 CM7 Release. If you want stablility, go with CM7. If you can deal with no video recording and HWA/minor bugs try ICS/JB.

I'm currently running eaglesblood ICS 4.0.4. Everything works exceptionally EXCEPT video recording and wi-fi calling. Everything else is awesome. The phone is faster and smoother than it was before I flashed eaglesblood. However, I do occasionally use video recording and wi-fi calling so I plan on flashing hellfire which is based off CM7. I'm sure I'll be happy being able to record videos again but honestly I'm going to miss the crisp performance enhancement that I am currently getting with ICS eaglesblood.

Definitely agree. Stock cm7 or teaser language are the only choices worth considering. Or, and for MIUI, Singh, but wide calling g might not work depending on your SIM card.

Yup, jackyl convinced me on the CM7 latest nightly build. I already have it downloaded but haven't flashed it yet. I also take back everything I said about EB working properly....ironically about 20 minutes after I made that post I was getting all sorts of issues with my t-mobile network. 4g unavailable and "invalid sim" errors. I eventually reflashed it and so far its working smoothly again (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself....). Right now I'm just reading up on mazout and faux kernals to decide which one I would like to flash alonside CM7.

If you think you'll miss the ICS/JB flavour, checkout the dual boot option that Mazout has put together. I'm running dual boot with the latest (well, March anyway) vanilla CM7 as a daily driver with JB 4.2.2 on the other partition, and it is awesome!

Not to add fuel to the fire, but I like the Trinity ELPMax and T15Max series... ELP for stability/battery life, T15 for speed. Though, if you do much gaming you might not want the max as it steals some GPU memory to give to regular system memory.

Trinity is ok kernels as well, although for me, Trinity series gave me more issues with gaming performance, video recording, and that dam "invalid SIM " error for Wifi calling.
These issues occured on all custom kernels, but Faux and mazkrn were less severe for me.
Sometimes I'd have to completely power cycle the phone to get the invalid sim error to clear, whereas on faux and mazkrnl I usually only have to cycle airplane mode once or twice to clear the invalid sim error, and since Pain needs wifi calling to work, I did not recommend Trinity series due to that one problem. Not saying at all that Trinity is a poor kernel, just others excel where it falls short, but its vice versa on other things.
Install Mazkrnl or Faux and than undervolt to the ELP series voltages.
Its really about user preferences, Pain, you'll just have to keep testing till you find what works for you.
Good news is you can dirty flash a kernel, just wipe cache and dalvik cache before you flash it, but you won't need to do fresh setups anytime you want to change kernels.

Nice. Yup I definitely need wifi calling and video recording to work. I don't play games on my phone often but I need the video recording to settle disputes on game battles when competing in call of duty

Just to clarify, do you know of ANY kernels that don't give the invalid SIM error on MIUI? I just switched to Mazout's kernel to see what it was like. Was surprised to see that what he's calling "Ram OC" is actually the GPU carvout, so that version has 404mb Ram just like Trinity MAX series. But I still get unknown phone # in status (and thus invalid SIM from WiFi Calling)...

Maz actually doesn't habe a carveout.
We discovered a bug where if you flash a trinity kernel and than a maz kernel, it will display the carveout from trinity.
Is this by chance something you may have done?
As for MIUI, I didn't like any MIUI soley because I could never get wifi calling to work.

Ahh, that's very very odd... Yes, I did flash Maz after Trinity... Now the discussion about whether the carveout is in the init.d scripts makes a lot more sense.
It's clearly NOT in the init.d scripts... however there are scripts inside the kernel image itself that are non-binary. They are supposed to be replaced any time a new kernel image is flashed, as you're flashing the whole image and not the binary within the image... But again, the carvout is changed in the kernel makefile, not in those scripts.... so that's very odd. Of course, my failure to successfully CHANGE the carveout back when I was building my own kernels (for Tsugi) based off of Faux's work now makes more sense as well - obviously there is somewhere that it is changed also that I wasn't aware of. I wonder if that place is where Maz's kernel is picking this up.
Honestly, if I knew where else it could be changed, I'd kang the kernel and build it myself, because I prefer having the extra system RAM versus GPU ram.
The question now is, that 404mb that shows on Maz after flashing Trinity... is that much actually available, or is it a mere artifact and not really there? Because my free memory seems to hang around the same place as it did with Trinity. Makes me worry about stability if something actually tries to _use_ that memory. I wonder if that's why some users have crashing with Maz?

Ive been trying all day to get CM 7.2 and previous "stable" releases to work and I have had no luck, they all just get hung up on the LG loading screen and I have to reflash it and start over again. Finally decided to just go back to stock 2.3.4 and faux123 kernel.

That's weird spawn. Weapon 2.3.3 is a pretty stable rom from what I hear. Have you tried that one?
