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.

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...

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.

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 am running G2Xtreme 1.1.1v2 Faux's 0.1.3-ext4 kernel. Everything works great including the HDMI which was very important to me. I uninstalled cm7 146, WeaponG2x, eagleblood1.07, and trigger0822. Everyone of these great rom's had hdmi problems. But they are all great.
My Antutu benchmark score is 5561 at 1.2 mhz which is just below the Galaxy S 2. When I was running trigger with Faux's latest kernel ( can't remember what it was) my score was 5630 at 1.1mhz which scored me above the Galaxy. I have had this phone for about 6 weeks and didn't even know ROM's existed until i stumbled upon the android reddit page after two weeks of ownership. Now it seems I can flash a rom in my sleep! There is that much info in these forums! How to's and even youtube videos. Amazing, really, that android phones bring so many people together!
I haven't commented enough to post ( noob that I am ) in the dev forum so I would like to say THANK YOU to all the dev's and especially *renocivik* for his very stable, fast, stable, rom.

For those who are using weapon with no problems, has anyone had problems streaming an avi file through the hdmi ? It was very unstable for me. So now I'm curious to see if maybe it was just my plasma tv.

Faux GB kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
I switched from CM7 (faux sv kermel) to Weapon G2X (stock kernel) a couple of days ago. Had too many problems with CM7 connectivity - lost APN, no wifi calling, slow-no GPS lock etc. Most could be fixed with a hard reboot but I found myself rebooting multiple times a day. Gave up after I missed a couple of critical calls.
Weapon G2X seems to be stable. I liked the default layout/launcher etc built into CM7 a little better but with a little work and the Go Launcher I think I now prefer this ROM.
What are the known weaknesses of Weapon G2X btw? I went through the dedicated thread but couldn't really identify any weaknesses. Excuse me if this is a stupid question - I am a noob and still learning about this phone and Android in general having come from Blackberry just a month or so ago!
Cm7 nightly 160. Bluetooth finally works and it works flawlessly. Stock kernel for now.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Weapon no Kernel.
but I am thinking to switch back to EB CM7 + Faux, everything run faster with CM7 roms
CM7 nightly 161, stock kernel. Working good so far.
Been with CM7 ever since LG "bricked" my phone with their GB update and not updating their camera app to GB.
Had faux's 0.4.2 up to nightly 153, but had my APN disappearing and wifi dropping connection (appeared connected, but no data was getting through), so I switched back to stock. I have this problem in 158/160/161 + faux kernel.
I wonder if this is caused by CM7 going to 2.3.7 recently...
Currently running Cm7 Nightlies with Faux 4.2SV CM kernel. It's been pretty stable expect for the data & wifi dropping like mentioned before. But a simple reboot fixes it...and i don't mind rebooting either cos reboot only takes less than 20 secs.
Came from MiUi 1.9.30, which i must say is the fastest ROM i've ever had (atleast for me). Just got really tired of the iPhone look. Then switched to Weapon 2.6...but didn't really like the stock look and reboots took literally like more than 60secs. So i thot i'd try going back to CM7.
After trying miui, cm7, eagle, and trigger, (with various kernels) I settled on weapon. I used both versions of faux's kernel, but I got sick of the five minute boot time, so now I'm on the stock kernel.
I absolutely LOVE weapon. It's lacking some of the customization options of other roms, but the stability more than makes up for it.

I like weapon but you could always start with the basic rooted stock rom and go from there.
I suggest eaglebloods latest rom, which can be found in the development section of the g2x. It is extremely smooth and stable. I would also use faux123 4.6 kernel with that rom.

Really? This poor horse...
I use Weapon 3 which is based on stock Android 2.3.3 with Faux123-0.1.3 recompiled kernel. It has very good battery life, is fast, and very stable.
Galnet MIUI, it really is impressive
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
After trying both Tsugi and Weapon, I personally prefer Tsugi. It seems to work slightly better for me, and I overall seem to have fewer issues. The LG Camera also seems to work slightly better on it although I can't point to any definitive area, other than the fact it has a panorama mode (which only sort of works).
Weapon is great if you want to run Touchwiz, which I find makes more sense to people who don't know what they're doing. Another big deal is that Tsugi doesn't have the shutdown issue where when the phone runs out of battery instead of turning off the screen just goes black and drains the battery more. This may or may not cause damage to the battery, but it's not worth the risk.
Just my two cents
i would say eagle
Jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Colorized is what I settled on after trying pretty much every current ROM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I would say leave it alone. usually the one originally on there is the safest and most stable. I have installed the latest nightly build 201 from cm. Its for me and I know what to do if something is wrong.
My wife's android phones I always kept at stock for her so whenever there is an issue its easier to fix.
Just stay stock bud and your dad should be fine ok?

Weapon. I tried CM7 and the camera plainly sucked. You need the LG cam to take advantage of the 8mp/1080p camera. MIUI is based on CM7 so the same applies.

Bionix and Faux Rom
I'm really enjoying the CM7 with Faux 4.7 Kernal.
However, I do admit, the camera for the CM7 is butt compared to the original one. I have a T2i so it doesn't matter CM7 hands down, is the fastest ROM I've experienced. 7605 on Antutu
Just switched to Weapon G2x from EaglesBlood and it feels like I just got a new phone! Way better battery life, it's faster and less crashes.
I'm liking Weapon G2X with faux's kernel though I feel like getting used to CM7 because I'm flashing CM9 as soon as its available. At the same time I love weapon. It is so easy to use and the toggles on the slide down bar are convenient.
Sent from my G2X
Went back to Weapon 3.0 today after playing with Bionix and several Miui versions the past weekend. Everything just works. Fast, smooth, predictable. never crashes or hangs up. BT works great. Terrific battery life! An incredible Rom! Only downside is no more updates unless someone else takes over the Rom.
Chalk another one up for Weapon.
"All these noobs hatin' on my weapon when all they've ever run is C M 7."
have you guys tried SinghUI? i think its amazing so far for me atleast... i was on weapon which was great too!!
Definitely hands down weapon...everything pails in comparison. Paired with faux123 re-packed kernel the bootime is way faster and the rom is just incredibly smooth.

My boot time is actually slower with the new kernel? It used to boot up very quickly. Strange.. Either way it's a great kernel.

cm7 is just out of the picture. used it, didnt like it. doesnt look too good and battery drains fast.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
for me actually i get the best battery life with miui :/ with weapon i got around 10-12 hours of usage, with MIUI with CM7 7.2 Kernel i get easily around 15-20hours of good usage.
Weapon - amazing battery life and fits my philosophy - if it ain't broken, don't fix it (not very popular in XDA).
Hi.
Many of you forum members have power in your hands (or brains). You have tested a number of MIUI ROMs and know which one got you closer to the "ideal". Speed, battery, and stability.
So if I may address you good people, which one is the best MIUI ROM for our crappy, yet beloved, G2x?
Thanks
RG2x plus Trinity battery saver kernel work very well for me. Super smooth and my battery lasts all day.

I've been using SINGH on my phone and my wife is using Richie's RG2X MIUI. Both of those are smooth and well taken care of. Flash away and you won't be disappointed. Both is pretty snappy with either faux's kernel our with trinity. I prefer faux battery life wise.

RG2x v2.3.2 w/Faux Kernel (Tried Trinity but it seemed on my phone to drain battery faster even with calibrated battery, just see what your phone likes)
Check sig for full specs.
RG2x was very smooth but drained battery very fast.
Stock MIUI w/ Trinity was very smooth as well, good battery life, but got too many random reboots.
Singh-UI is working best for me. Everything i tried worked, including gps, usb/wireless tethering, themes, etc. I'm using the repacked trinity T15 kernel with it.
i like sigh miui because richies rom isnt zipaligned. Also, he. forgot to change the default read ahead for sd card. Sighn has it at 2048 abd richie has it at default 128.

I have tried both RG2X and SINGH, both awesome ROMs, however I favor SINGH because his is more consistent; a couple of times RG2X forgot to fix bugs in updates ect. The "root" of SINGH's ROM comes from Mark over at MIUI. Mark has been cooking MIUI since it first came out, that should give you a good idea. None the less, both good devs that listen to their "testers".

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
