[Q] now the gingerbread is out whats next?

ok guys just what we been waiting for gb....
to bad it doesn't have more stuff i was really hoping for power control on the notification...
and i have a few questions..
can i root with superoneclick or easy root with mac?
now the gb is out i know the devs are gonna get to work on it.

for those that updated have you notice there is no camera app?????

there is a camera app, just that it's stock rather than lg's.

no really the stock camera app is missing its not there. i did a factory reset and still is not there.. would have to use another app from the market

that's weird. it's there for me. i did a hard reset after i flashed...

ok well i was thinking about that but like i cant root after the update i didnt wanted to lose all my apps from titanium backup lol

Aw man we don't have that cool animation when you lock the phone

The CRT screen on/off effect? Probably can enable it like we did pre-CM7 building it in.

Whats next? Lots of whining until Ice Cream is released.
I really hope GB and new drivers fix the issues people are having.

I'm stoked for this. Now our custom ROMs can be optimized using proper drivers and what not. This should help development a **** ton.

This is not the final GB release, not even close.

It's the same Kernel as the Froyo Kernel, can't be the final release, if it is I'm done with my G2X and will be moving to the Sensation. This release doesn't even have the LG camera how can it be the final build?

Its an update isn't that what everyone wanted, now we know that were making progress, that LG hasn't completely abandoned us, and now all custom roms are gonna be that much better, this is a great day for all g2x users everywhere, and it has only just begun.

I don't really care about the GB update. I already have that running the CM nightlies. I want a stable and working phone. One I can depend on to make calls day in and day out. One that gets the same battery life day in and day out. I want the LG drivers to make everything function properly. Mad props to the CM guys for doing what LG has failed to do so far, but now it is time for LG to deliver a REAL working, bug free update so we can experience the phone we are supposed to have.

[Q] Best battery life ROM?

What's the best ROM for battery life at the moment? I've been stock because of the various problems with nonofficial GB ROMs, it's probably the most functional, but one of the least stable.
What's a good ROM that has good battery life and is stable/functional? Or is good functionality going to be hit and miss for various people until official GB?
One other thing. The hell does AOSP mean?

I'm currently using juwe's smart edition (props to big fault for the port!) with a j2 modem and entropy's DD and my battery life is amazing
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

How's the functionality?
So far on all GB ROMs I've tried something that almost everyone uses doesn't work, and some apps force close, and there's other problems...

Nothing wrong with gb roms based on Rogers gb, except for HDMI not working, but who uses that anyway? I'm on infused 2.2.3 right now, I get about a day and a half of moderate use. There are really only bugs with miui., cm7, and any hellraised roms... infused or any of the leaks are fine.
AOSP = android open source project.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

No one mentions what's working and what isn't on the leaked ROMs. Is HDMI, bluetooth, wifi, GPS, etc all working on say UCKK1?

Pretty sure everything except HDMI... I could be wrong though.

This is a horrible question to ask. Batt life is gonna be diff for each user. You wont know the answer to the dumb question unless you try it for yourself.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Now now, it isn't a dumb question. Roms like miui are going to have worse battery life because of the complexity, where stock based will have less battery drain. It comes down to trying it yourself, but asking for a little advice isn't a problem...

I had perfect batt life on miui when i wanted it. The only answer to the question is to try it yourself. Someone says this roms batt life is amazing and you flash it and hate the rom then youre back at square one. Answer is really simple....TEST ROMS OUT AND FIND WHAT YOU LIKE!

Yea there are a lot of minor setbacks, but there are few to no roms specifically for the infuse...I haven't tried cm7 or miui yet but I've tried most of the stock based roms and juwe's smart edition has had the best overall performance (with the help of a couple other tweaks). Just do what I did and play around with a couple things; its tedious but fun at the same time and you learn a lot along the way

What is the most popular ROM?

I'm using the Stock UCLA3 debloated but am having a hard time deciding which ROMs to try out there are just so many.

I guess thread activity is probably the best indicator of most popular. In that case it's Sky Ics by a long shot with over 4k replies and 400k views.

Just so you know the most popular ROM might not be the one you like best, read all the OPs of the ROM pages and see which one fits your needs best.

Sky ics is really good but make sure you flash a ucla3 kernel with it like faux 10 or romracers stockish .3, since you're using the ucla3 radio

I think, well imo, that TPC has been the most stable ROM out there. I've tried so many popular roms like sky ics, buoyancy, cyanotouchwiz. But I always end up go back to TPC. The 2nd rom I'd choose would be sky ics. It is fast and smooth except only one thing:
It has an issue with force close and I THINK I know how it happens - some widgets won't work on homepage. For instance 3D flip clock. Whenever you add the widget on the homepage, it will force close right away.
Overall TPC is more stable and saves more battery life. I use the phone a lot and I end up with 20% after 12 hours use. Hope it helps

I second this, TPC is by far the most stable. Coupled with UCLA3 and faux kernel 0.10 and ur laughing

MHX-Superlite! thats what it was!
cause idk about this StockMod 2 everyone is talking about..
Just kidding you should really just check them out all at least all the new UCLA3 based ROMS, Sky-ice just doesnt seem right anymore with it being based off 2.3.5 and UXKJ2 so i reccomend going for a UCLA3 ROM.

Using MHX-SUPERLITE 3.0. Not have one problem. Fast smooth and great battery life

Also I just remembered that Kraver said he compiled his version from the source code, so doesn't that mean that that there is an ICS kernel for the sgs4g floating around out there? Granted an untested kernel, but an ICS kernel none the less. I am obviously not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, Granted I don't even know if that info will actually help you at this point, but it was something I just remembered when you said that you where trying to use a GB kernel. Either way we have faith in you if these guys can do it so can you!!!

+1, it all depends on what you want your phone to do and one that makes you love your phone
Try a few of them and then stick with The One.
This will probably narrow your options:
Gingerbread: mainly functionality and stability, great battery life.
ICS: Eye candy, stable, almost everything functional (look in the OPs for what doesn't)
Jelly Bean: Still developing but quite stable, fast (thank you butter )
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse

It's true... "Best" is in the eye of the ROM Holder...
Do you want a customised build of the default OS version? (Gingerbread)
Or do you want to try something new and cutting edge? (Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean)
Personally, I had a lot of issues with stock and ROMs of Froyo and Gingerbread on my Infuse.
This is often not the case for users, it seems... But it was hell for me.
I decided to give Ice Cream Sandwich a try when a stable build finally came out, and decided to try out Paranoid Android, due to the interesting aspect of tablet style options on the phone.
In my opinion, my phone has never ever run so great in its life!
So, for me, Paranoid Android ICS is definitely the best!
For you? Well, read the features of each rom, check the screenshots and read the user feedback, and make a choice for yourself!
It make a few different tries to find one you settle best with.
As for me... Paranoid Android was JUST upgraded to Jellybean after the stable release of CyanogenMod 10.
I know where MY next move is. =D
Good luck, and happy flashing!

I agree. It's all in what you are looking for. You'll probably end up trying several before you find one that works for you. For me its Caty ROM oc to 1.6. My phone is no where near as fast with other roms. The main thing I do on my phone is games and normal phone use text, calls etc. I want my phone to snap when I use it. I have no lag on the phone or any game. Modern combat 3 etc. FPS (according to Nena) run 53-55fps. Far lower scores on other roms. And you can see the difference in performance. But after flashing several roms and reading problems, comments etc it seems that not all infuses like the same roms. People having problems where others dont. So just try some ROMs out yourself. Read the first post of different ROMs, look at screen shots, read a few posts. And flash the ones you are interested in. Maybe check Odin/Heimdall incase something goes wrong with a flash.

"best" rom is relative. i'm using paranoid android jelly bean. it's pretty awesome but "best" i don't know.
i'd say cm9 is best,the only real flaw is that the tourch feature of the camera flash doest work like it should. cm10 and other jb builds have a few flaws, wifi tether has a fix but no kernel was compiled yet as far as i know, give that a day or two. also agps doesn't work and cm10 is only so far along in development, there has been wonky stuff happening with trebuchet launcher for some people.
as far as samsung roms go i wouldn't run a custom one. maybe a custom kernel. but all the deodexed roms i used had bugs, all of them. i've deodexed it myself but had bugs (force close on start, broken email app, other obscure menus that sometimes didn't work) and don't have the skills to debug it.
