I believe my G2X is a later model, it does not come with the mini-HDMI, like i guess the first patch used to come with.
Anyway, upgraded to 2.3.3, ADW launcher, nothing fancy, not rooted. But over the past couple of days I am noticing some drop in performance, music skips when i browse through the menus and check e-mail. Also when i hit the unlock botton, there is about a second delay before the screen turns on.
The internal storage has 2gb remaining, my external SD has about 1.5gb remaining. I can only get up to ~170mb of RAM when i clear everything using Taskiller.
Not sure what is happening, but seems to be bogging down.
Thanks.

Wow really? I'm very familiar with rooting, I've done it to a mytouch 4g and a mytouch 3g but I always get worried it will brick.
What's a good ROM? I like the 2.3.4 from the Mytouch 4g, but not sure if supported on the G2X.

Alright well I just downloading the rooted 2.3.3. OTA and I need to get Superone Click next, right? Along with the Clockwork Mod?
I see that there were differences when rooting 2.3.3. I don't want to miss anything.
-ROM
-Clockwork Mod
-Superone Click
-LG Driver
-Tegra driver?
Thats it?

All you need to do is use NVFlash. It installs a custom CWM for you. You don't really need root. Once you're done with NVFlash then you're good to go. It's in the dev section, good luck.

You won't have to root a custom ROM. Sorry if you know this already, I just hadn't seen anyone mention it. You had superoneclick listed after rom. These roms floating around here already have root access. Once you get cwm working, just pick a rom (i.e. cyanogenmod) and flash it.

hi i just purchased a inspire yesterday and had a captivate before hand. going to root my phone and wondered what people here think is the best rom for this phone ??
I really liked CoreDroid a lot and used it for a week or so then switched to cyanogenmod7 for a few days. Definitely prefer CoreDroid over cm7. Now I'm running LeeDrOiD and think I may prefer this over the other two.
Just find a few you like and try them out for a while. You'll figure out which is best for you

What do you like about leedroid? I saw it has a larger speaker boosts... are the notifications noticeably louder? Give me your low-down on LD
If you want no frills and solid, snappy performance and response...I highly recommend Ingersol ROM.
Maybe its cause I'm older, but I really dig that ROM.
i use to run cognition on my captivate it was a pretty good rom
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033434 its also the only GB rom specifically built for the inspire 4g but it doesnt have some of the cooler stuff but its got insane speed
I've only been using LeeDrOiD for a few hours so I can't say much. Initially everything appears to maintain the stock sense look without the graphic tweaks from CoreDroid. Battery seems a little better with LeeDrOiD but it's still too early to tell.
My first LeeDrOiD flash ended up with me stuck in a force close loop that I attribute to my own mucking around in the build properties file. I reflashed and it seems fine so far but I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling my apps.
I went with LeeDrOiD because it seems to have more under the hood tweaks and optimizations that I like. If this isn't satisfactory ill probably be back to CoreDroid.
As far as audio, it seems about as loud as cm7. CoreDroid was louder if I remember rightly and my ears don't deceive me. That may just be from different test sounds though. Seems plenty loud on LeeDrOiD though.
EDIT: Just did some more test listening to LeeDrOiD.. seems about the same as I remember CoreDroid being. I've also rebooted the phone the the force close loop is not there. Must have been my own fault before, thankfully.

I made a gold card using the SimpeGoldCard GUI and then used Bubby's tool.
ROM: RCMix 5.9x series (with Sense, but has 'extra' to go senseless). It's also CWM enabled for OTA updates now.
sense isnt to bad as a launcher i used touchwiz before cause of the captivate. way more steps to root compared to it. but as long as you follow the steps its all good
think I might switch from captivate to inspire. what's the main difference, OP?

i like it so far. got more ram then the captivate. more gingerbread roms then the cappy from what i scene. rooting is more difficult but if you follow the developers directions is pretty easy. the one problem i have is removing the batter cover and sim card its a pain in a butt lol. but i would consider it a upgrade compared to the cappy. of course the sgs2 may come to att so u may wanna wait for that if your upgrading the phone.
CM7 or anything based on it in my opinion, but I hate every manufacturer UI.

I'm on the odexed kg4 leak with drhonk's red cwm+ext4+root kernel, and I *love* it. OC'd to 1.3GHz, I Quad 2850 or so. Gingerbread is light-years ahead of froyo. Only issue I've personally encountered is outgoing wifi calling volume is inaudibly quiet, and that's not a dealbreaker as I stopped using Wifi calling when I started using Bali kernels.
If you're thinking about it, I say go for it
I felt the same way and held off. Took the plunge - Installed the samfirmware 2.3.4 leak via odin and Drhonk's GB CWM+Voodoo a couple of nights ago (could not get it into recovery using whitehawkx version). Phone is awesome...no rainbow boot screens, no FC's...just plain awesome. Everything works...came from Black Ice with Bali 3.3UV and all of the tweaks and will not be going back.
It's a personal choice though, the only thing I am currently missing is the voodoo sound I had with Bali 3.3UV. Small price to pay IMO.

Unless I missed something the Kernel doesn't support it. I have the voodoo control app installed and lagfix enabled, but it says that the kernel does not support the sound mods.
The other thing i miss is the black ice "system shutdown" audio. That never got old.

I got tired of waiting for the upgrade. It's one thing to wait for an upgrade and it's another to get zero dates and information. I decided to use SamFirmware's latest, and to put it simply, I love it so much better than Froyo. In fact, the only thing bothering me is the website scroll on the stock browser. With Froyo, I could swipe upwards a few times and it would quickly take me to the top of the page. For some reason, with Gingerbread, a swipe appears to move me up the screen by some fixed intervals. This extra 3-5 second inconvenience is very tolerable.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I agree with Jay on this topic. GingerBread is amazing, with the major downside being horribly quiet WiFi calling. Unfortunately with as often as my phone is WiFi connected and how much I use it for work, I'm sticking with Froyo for now. Other than that, if you're comfortable with flashing it, there really is no reason to wait.
be sure to thank the devs for their hard work. froyo at this point in time is much more customizable than gb, but its only a matter of time before our devs crack it.
Donate if possible also! The devs put a lot of their time and effort these ROMS.

decompile the apk and then you need to rebuild some of the dependancies based off the gb rom to run on non gb like the classes dex file also need to edit the jar then repack it sign it should be ok from there

And ive done eveything i know to fix it, Odin stock 2.2.1 , stock 2.3.4 and stock2.3.6 and valhalla and octane via cwm. But i dont know what it is that everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up. I have the link2sd running i have the fota fix i have the battery calibrate and like i said the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. i dont know whats wrong is it an app? a game?

From a clean install I have been on Valhalla... but until the latest universal adrenaline it did not seem the way I thought it should. Now my phone flies.
I'd be willing to bet your issues stem from a bad app causing an issue... have you researched that at all?
I would also encourage installing QuickPic and freezing the stock gallery... it is a CPU HOG!! QuickPic is liter and has a ton more options. I'm not affiliated... just noticed the stock gallery at times could take 50-60% of the CPU, even when I was not using it. F that.
Also, the newest Valhalla will be built off the newest OFFICIAL gingerbread... and we have source now for GB... so, things are on the up and up. Hold on to the phone for a bit.
I've noticed (at least for me) that restoring data through titanium gives me force close issues sometimes.

Hiya.
I think that if you start a thread with I hate my phone, you should expect more than flaming. It would be better that if you did your research and didn't found what you want. Then how about starting your post with something more detailed or, what you did to your phone in steps, to see if someone could help you in better way. Also I've seen a lot in this forum from people demanding, using every gibberish word that they could find, and SO they still get helped.
There're still few good fellas out there that love to help no matter what words you use.
My 2 cents

There are a couple of things that can cause this. but some more info is needed about your phone.
I believe your problem is that you are using the Link2sd app. It has been my experience that it does not play well with Gingerbread. It has given me problems when I link to my external SDcard.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the last I heard Link2sd doesn't work properly on Gingerbread regarding EXT4 on the external SDcard?
Do you have your voodoo enabled?
Just asking..
So i should get rid of the link2sd app?? and what about using another kernel like kj1 and the adrenaline shot XIX?? and yes the voodoo is enable. Anothet thing if i just use the fota fix apk to get more internal memory. Can i install most of my apps?? right now i have like 25 apps besides the stock ones

I've been using Link2Sd for about 2 weeks now on both Valhalla and Octane, and I have not had any problems at all. I just let it move the Apps automatically and then I use the Create Link feature and it does the rest. I have 92 Apps and I still have around 250mb of space left.

I don't get the flame, either. You're having problems with your phone and came looking for advice (I assume). This is my sixth phone and I like the SGS4G quite a bit. I suggest you flash again with the stock KD1, then flash the Samsung released 2.3.6. There is an Odin-friendly tar on another thread in Q&A that was started today or yesterday. Should be easy to find. (I also that on my Win7 machine I can retrieve the tarball from the download cache completed through kies mini and use that.) NO overclocking I get quadrant scores in the 17-1900 range. The scrolling between panes is smooth, my wifi is good at home (personal security) and in my office (enterprise security). I have a bit under 80 contacts, I do e-mail, messaging, facebook, maps, browsing, market browsing, music player, ... angry birds and a couple other games for giggles. I have been pretty impressed.

I would still start as close to "scratch" as possible, clear cache, factory reset, load KD1, let it sit and does its thing a bit (5-10 minutes?). Load the oem gingerbread release and again let it do its thing a bit. Before you load your first app, run the stock ones, like the crappy browser and see what kind of performnace you're seeing. Init wifi and see how that performs. Put it through its paces as a stock device. If you have really bad performance on a "pristine" device, maybe you got a bad device. I have come to expect a certain number of brand new workstations I roll out at work to be clunkers. Maybe you ogt one. Anyway, if it performs okay as a stock device, load you apps one at a time and pause to test the effects of the new install.
Good luck!

Hey guys im really starting to hate this phone at first i was like ok maybe its me used to having better devices but this whole week this phone its acting up and really slow and apps lags a lot. Im on the stock 2.3.6 with the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. I dont really get it. Why im having all this problems. I can honestly say that my old vibrant, g2x, my touch4g,iphone 3gs, iphone 4 and even the lg optimus and the moto cliq xt,works a lot better stable and faster than this phone the worst phone ever for me. Looking forward to another device. Thinking a lot going back to att and buying the iphone 4s

i hear you. i've hated it after one day. it was hard for me coming from htc (n1, hd2) to sgs4g. it doesn't feel solid hardware-software marriage. and it is strange bcz you'd expect more from samsung.
in the end it's a subjective feeling, so don't expect crowd of support. everyone has his own experience.

Has anyone stumbled on a rom that is ICS for g2x that has working netflix.
There are no ROMs that exist just yet -- I've used both EB's ICS and HFS. Video is broken, be it camera, or games.
I use HellFire Sandwich 1.6 right now and Netflix works on it just fine.
I've also tried Eaglesblood and it worked on there too. But imho HellFire is better overall.

I've never really messed with ics yet because I figured netflix wouldn't work. Also never really tried to find out for myself either. Does it really work for some people?

All I can say was, I flashed ICS to try Netflix and it never worked for me, so I went back to WeaponG2x.

Hardware Acceleration doesn't work at all on any ICS rom from what I understand. So our G2x will have trouble doing a lot of things as of now.I can't wait to get rid of this ****ty phone.
I have tried about all recent updates to ICS roms and no, netflix doesn't work as of yet, at least for me. And this phone has actually been good to me so ease off of her! Lol.

Read Hellfire's change log, media acceleration was recently added. Netflix has been working for me on Hellfire for awhile now, at least 2 or 3 weeks. I can also watch videos on the SD without a problem, just cant use the stock video player, download one off the market. Hulu has never worked for me on any ICS rom. Also when i first installed Hellfire i could not get Flash player to work, so i used a backed up copy I had of flash and its been working ever since.
Yeah HF 1.6 works with Netflix. At least it has been for me. Got it straight from the Play Store, latest version (though it worked for weeks before that anyway). You could try two things. Within ICS, go to developers in settings and turn on Force GPU Acceleration. And the another is to Try using Nullifier to make sure you don't have any remnants of old conflicting files (CAUTION: that will delete everything you have except your external SD. Flash a new rom before turning off the phone after nullifying.) Worth a shot I'd say. Just careful and make sure u always backup.

In form of a video?
I second it.
And thanks for the tips hadn't tried some of those options. I would try tonight but I just flashed last night :\ Does anybody know if Boot Manager works with our phone? That would be awesome.
Will try hell later and report back.
And for the google guy. Netflix was not mentioned on any thing that I searched. I did search stop be a trying.
Nope
No go on Hellfire

I can't wait to get rid of this phone either, but at least running a new ROM it's halfway decent and usuable. Once my contract is up, though, I'm off T-Mobile. Not impressed with their service.
As far as I know Netflix doesn't work on any ics for g2x. Last I tried was HFS 1.5. I had video recording, playback, browser flash and YouTube working great, but no Netflix. 1.6 came out on Easter, 6 days ago, and the zip auto wipes, thus can't be flashed over 1.5 without having to resetup your phone. I used hfs since 1.1 n flashed each new zip over the preceding one without wipes or any issues. When 1.6 wiped me out and had lame star on unlock I switched back to cm7 nightly 225 before checking Netflix. I would love a confirmation that it works on 1.6. Anyone that says they've had it working for weeks is probably lying, or mistaken.

Using the most recent Hellfire Phoenix Rom I am getting camera force closes often and all the time when switched to video recording. What's up with this? I've tried the LG cam.zip also...same thing...
I've got the same setup on two G2x's and this is only the case with one. Would the best thing be to re-flash? I was hoping there might be another way because the one that needs the help is my work phone and I hate having to set it up completely each time I install a ROM or whatever.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...and I would have used the development thread for this but I have less than 10 posts currently. I normally don't have issues or anything that I can't figure out myself with search or my skills. LoL.
I told this to someone else earleir and this might also be the case. Every phone despite being developed the same may not work the same. For example, not everyone knows but there are 4 models of the g2x. Not all roms are compitable with every version. I would suggest looking up the version you have and bringing that to the attention of the developers. And yes, by the way, you can access the development thread and you can post on them. Most of the responses for bugs are people with less then 10 thanks. As far as a fix, I don't know. Look through the thread for your rom and see if anyone claims this issue. If so, there should also be a fix somewhere in there. If not, let the dev know so they look into it. Again, MAKE SURE YOU LET THEM WHAT MODEL P999 YOUR USING!! As for where to find that, I'm not sure. I know 2 of them are the lg p999DW and the lg p999DWP. Theres 3 others but I don't know how to tell which they are. If i figure it out I'll let you know.
Edit: under the battery cover. Not under the battery though. Right below the bottom of the battery next to the screw youll see it in white print.
Edit 2: Kinda curious, which rom version are you using?
LG-P999DW is what both phones read.
I'm using the Hellfire Phoenix ROM (excellent btw).

Video Recording should not be working on any LG G2X running ICS at the moment. Unless you use Videocam Illusion Recorder.
Sorry to say it, but without the proper drivers, this function is busted.

ya i must have read that too fast and just put it together as both phones aren't working... the only thing i would suggest is just a simple reflash of the rom, no wiping just reflash it. if not then proper wipe and flash, if not that then nandroid back to a rom you were positive the phone's videocam was working.

Haha, don't get me wrong though... I would have thought the same thing too.
Infact when I saw it was a videocam issue, I was all ready with a ICS response, lol.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Nope not ICS, tried that and liked it though no video recording.
Anyhow, since there are no posted fixes other than reflashing I suppose that's the route I'll go.
Thanks though.
