youre going to get conflicting opinions because different people have different experiences with the same ROMs. best way to choose a rom is to try them for yourself.
Hellfire all the way. I used to be a weapon G2X fan.

Hellfire Phoenix
I dunno man, it's honestly all the same to me. I've tried CM7, CM7 Cheery Pick Kang, EaglesBlood and Phoenix Blood... er I mean Hellfire Phoenix.
All run really fast and almost to no lag. And since it's from the same source all of them have the same bugs/problems. Each ROM opens apps as quick as can be. And if one is truly faster than the other, then I guess the fraction of a second speed is too little to notice with the naked eye.
Although if you look at EaglesBlood's OP he seems to have changed a lot. He's changed thing like changing it to GPU rendering rather than CPU. So I'd imagine that would make things better. So I guess you can go ahead and try that first.
Anyways, good luck man.
Thanks guys Ya iv tried CM7 and Im currently on hellfire Phoenix and there really isn't that much of a difference it mite b a bit faster and has better battery life but that's about it

Hellfire Phoenix
I've been running HP since v1.6. This ROM has been stable from me from day one. I prefer flashing morphic's Trinity kernel, instead of the Faux123 kernel supplied with the ROM, but that is a matter of preference.
Just flashed Hellfire Sandwich v1.0-beta, which is x0xhellx0x first version of ICS, so far so good.
x0xhellx0x is very active in the G2x Android Dev forum. Check it out. I would also check out Eagles Blood, to figure out your preference.
PartzMan2
T-Mobile G2x, overclocked to 1200 Mhz
ROM Hellfire Phoenix v1.9 (testing Hellfire Sandwich v1.0-beta
Kernel Trinity Kernel T-15 (1560 Mhz
I'm definitely a Hellfire Phoenix fan but then again I didn't really give the others a real chance. Hell is so customer friendly and updates so often that I've decided to stick with him for now.

I have flashed all of the eagles blood Tom's even some other Tom's and they work with the exception. Of the new 1.05 eaglesblood that has Caucasian kernel cooked in. I tried flashing fauxs kernels separately and the only one that works is the stock voltage kernels eveeytime I try to do something that undervolts it wont take when I flash it. Is there any way to fix this or fwt it to work or does my g2x suck? Thanks for any help!

umm just turn in your g2x to someone that is qualified to use it.
What is a Caucasian kernel?
That ladies and gentlemen, is signature worthy.
Edit: Forgot to even answer your question amidst all this racial kernel profiling. Your G2x can't handle the OC/UV kernel, nothing you can do about it.

It's not that he's not qualified. A known issue is that some of the phone's can't support some of the features of other kernels so the phones won't boot. I started a thread about this and Faux chimed in affirming what I thought. It's a fault in the chip. Some can OC/UV, some can't.
Thanks hiko I thought I read something about that but what I don't get now is I flashed the Trinity kernel nd it sees the UV 1.1 in set CPU lol . Ill have to do more testing. As for the Caucasian kernel I blame racist correct lol

Yup. I have this problem. My broken G2x can run custom kernels on Stock. But my replacement G2x can't even get past the boot screen after flashing one. I can't run EB Froyo, and I can't flash faux's kernel unless it's on a Gingerbread ROM. It's pretty lame.

Dear OP. Wish I could help you. I do want to thank you for the laugh. Nothing personal. The typos made me spit out my coffee. It's been a long morning already, so I appreciate humor where I can find it.
As a couple have already said, not all phones are created equal. One of my phones would not OC and UV at the same time. I was able to hit 1300 stable on mine, but my wife, which has an identical setup, had issues at 1100. Faux released an overclock kernel without the undervolting. Have you tried that?

I have not as the overclocking was not as big of an issue as undervolting was for me. I cant get a single of fauxs kernels to run etx/GB/FR thats does oc/uv but the stock one does it just fine thats goes 1.0sv/1.2oc. the whole reason why i am confused though is i flashed morfics trinity kernel thats oc/uv at the same rate 1.1uv/1.5oc and it loads perfectly fine on my phone. Setcpu sees the standard at 1.1ghz max on autodetect, howeer i have not tried overclocking to anything more than that as i do not have any experience with making the textfile for setcpu to overclock it manually. im going to work on this soon but im hoping someones already made and posted this elsewhere on xda =D
PS: im on a computer this time and ill say this is better than my blackberry who decided to autocorrect "heterosexual" in place of "hey" everytime i tried talking to one of my friends but glad its good for laughs lol
I've consistently gotten Morfic to work as well. Faux said that Morfic hasn't released his source so he can't compare notes and see what's causing the issue.

i hope he does soon as i would love to try fauxs kernel as i hear more about it than morfics. morfics for now works fanfriggintastic for me though. m g2x ocs to 1400 without any problems at all on morfics however has some stability issues randomly at 1500 and i undervolt it always under 1.1 by 75 and runs perfect. battery life is currently at 60% still after 30hrs of use even after phone calls texts and internet usage. no games or heavy downloads yet though. <3uv and juicedefender

Best thing about this phone is the games made for tegra. They are enhanced!
There isn't really a need to change kernal because this phone is fast as is. I tried it, oc'd it and never saw real time improvements. I actually underclock mine to 816mhz and it still plays all games the same.
This phone operates the best for me on Baldwin's kang cm7. Its fast and reliable. Either way you will want to use anything that uses the external sd card for app storage.

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say this phone is pretty awesome, my grandmother loves it and so do I. What I love the most about it is the stock build of the phone, the phone seems to respond faster when tapping on capacitive buttons then when I click them on my mytouch 4g slide which isnt stock like the g2x. I notice stock will always be faster then phones which have sense, touchwiz, and other crap of layer on top of android

G-ma's stock G2x. Updated software?
You mentioned the speed of the stock build. I am curious if GRANDMA has the recent software update. It's V21Y and brings the phone up to Gingerbread 2.3.4 (as opposed to 2.3.3 previously. My wife has been on it over a month now w/o rebooting. It's an awesome stock build! My G2x is rooted and running recent Cyanogenmod real well too. The stock is so good now that even I sometimes restore a rooted stock nandroid for ZERO bugginess!
Joining in the dredging of an old thread - I loaded V21y on both my and my wife's phone - both run slower with noticeably more lag than stock Froyo. But no dreaded Black Screen Of Death, which is what my wife hated (she is on call sometimes). So I guess I'm happy. Someday I should try a dev rom I guess... But I NEED WiFi calling and a2dp - not sure if I can get that in a dev rom...

wifi calling and a2dp work in almost all of the roms, even on the new baseband (except bluetooth calling, but streaming music works), just try one and find out. CM7 is the best place to start

Yea she got the update 2.3.4, the stock build is awesome fast, faster than the htc sense obviously but I still love the htc sense animations are just better on sense if sense could be just as fast as stock id loved it even more lol. Stock makes a big difference even the single core G2 is fast on stock faster than the mytouch even with 2 cores. I've done the test I tap the menu at the same time on the 3 phones and the mytouch is the slowest. However you do see the difference when not on the UI, for example on apps, the browser, and loading obviously the mytouch wins on that aspect 1.2 ghz dual core
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
theres still some minor issues with the 2.3.4 got one rare SOD and a few odd reboots. cm7 has none of the issues. guess thats the tradeoff for proper quality of calls and a working gps.
I downgraded my baseband back to the March 2011 firmware, loaded up Hell Fire Phoenix with Faux's stable kernel, running V6 SuperCharger, and a Team Carbon theme that I'm currently modifying to my specific likings.
This phone flies for me. Everything works and it looks great while doing it. I really don't see a need to get a new phone, unless I decide I want a larger screen.
I still hate LG, but hey...

Hey guys/gals. I have tried most of the ROM's listed in the SGS4G Bible. All of the developers are awesome. I installed the Un-named ROM RC2, Tegrak Free to OC to 1.3GHz AND Universal Adrenalin Shot V14. Using Quadrant Standard from Google Play, I received a Quad of 2474!!! I ran a Quad test again to verify accuracy and it came back 2480!!! BY FAR the fastest set up I have experienced with most of the other excellent ROM's returning a score of around 2025. GREAT JOB RaverX3X, as well as all of the AWESOME developers from Team ACID, Team Kang and so on!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT:
Since posting I have downloaded and installed SCOM v3.5. After a new install and a 30 minute soak, I obtained repeatable Quad scores in the 2750 range. I have tried various configs and cant seem to get higher. No complaints with those scores. Erik has done a great job with this ROM, has addressed issues quickly, and coupled with Raver moving on, I am sticking with SCOM.
welcome to the xda community.
valhalla black at 1.3 im averaging around 3100... im guessing it just depends on your exact set-up
I have used Val. Black Edition. I am a big fan of that ROM as well. My scores were MUCH lower than yours. I do agree, the exact setup makes a difference.
WiFi Calling Issues
I was using Un-named ROM and decided to add the AS 14-1, after flashing the
Blue WiFi calling icon turned Green and quality of Wifi calling went seriously south.
Can anyone tell me what the change in color of the WiFi calling icon indicates.
Anyone had a similar experience.
Thank you,

I think raver said the rom might not work with AS or any other tweak like that. That could explain the drop in wifi calling. I would wipe and reflash the rom. Dont install the tweaks.
I think people should start considering NOT installing these tweaks in the newer released roms. Im sure raver and the other cookers are building them into the rom. If not every part of it atleast the most important parts.
I had the best "performance" in MIUI, despite the lack of working ringtones and vibration. I don't rate performance based on a number given to you by quadrant. I rate it based on how smooth games run and how responsive the interface is. MIUI definitely rated highest there. Currently running untitled though because I got tired of missing calls from my managers\.
I just want to make sure that anyone and everyone that reads this thread understands that I am in NO WAY bagging ANY developer in any way. All of them do fantastic work....aside from the fact that it is more or less a hobby for them as well as not getting paid for it! I also want to reiterate that these were a "tangible rating" that anyone can test their own ROM and setup of choice. It is very hard to compare statements such as "smoothest" or "most fluid" or any other colorful word to explain your experiences. All in all, it was a way for me to express my findings. Leaving being impartial aside.....I prefer Team ACID work. In my OPINION, their ROMS work best for what I do with my device....But....you know what they say about opinions
All developers: Thank you very much for all of your hard work!!!!!!!
un-named
I am having an issue with this rom.It randomly reboots(ALOT) and sometimes it doesnt wake up so i either have to do a battery pull or hold power button.I've reinstalled this rom plenty of times and ive cleared and formated everything. I was reading the rom post and read something about omgpop app. And i have it too so i just removed it , and hope it'll stop the rebooting and wake lock.
Its related to wifi. Switch your router to channel 6 and that should help. I'm testing another fix that may help Atm. If my phone stays stable I'll post it tomorrow.

With the Valhalla Final and Universal Adrenaline shot v14.1, running at 1ghz i'm scorring 2230 in quadrant.
If i set it to 1.3ghz the best score i got is 2842. I runned the test 3 times @ 1.3ghz and the score was between 2700 and 2842. So, Valhalla Final i suppose is faster.

So to anyone who experienced best of both worlds of the 2 ICS roms, which one do you like more?
It's hard to decide but from what I've been seen HFS seems to be a fan favorite.
When I used EB, it felt really stable, but it's missing so many tweaks that other roms have and you really can't customize it much. I've been bouncing back and forth between different roms, but I'm looking to jump right back to EB as soon as they release a new build. I just hopped on HFS again after being on AOKP and Genesis and I'm loving it. HFS 1.4 was actually my first ICS rom and I've used that one longer than other because it worked fine and didn't see any reason to switch.
Ok, typical question. HFS and EB are both really good. If your looking for more customization, HFS is most definitely the way to go. If you could really care less about that then go for EB.
If you get HFS, be careful on the versions. With v1.7 you need the update harsh kernel to use usb mass storage. It'll tell you that when you look at the HFS thread.
EB uses the FAUX kernel. I forget which one came with it. I changed kernels after a little while. Not sure why, I didn't have any problems with the faux kernel and only led myself to have a much shorter battery life. So be careful.
Other then that , they're both very stable, both run very smooth, and both are good on battery life.
The choice comes down to preference.
HFS with Faux kernel gets my vote.
I am not really that cutting edge... I just like stability, a charge that lasts the day, and a smooth interface. It has these.
Any suggestions for the best Kernel to run on Eaglesblood 2.3.7 GB?

Get ready to get flamed buddy, there are many threads already with this very similiar topic...
As to your question...
The only real way to find out what Kernel works best, you need to flash each and see how it works with your phone. What one person thinks runs amazingly fast with amazing battery life and such on their phone, it may be terribly buggy and sluggish with terrible battery life on your phone. Although we have the same phone, they are constructed differently and each phone acts differently with ROM+Kernel combos than the next person with the same phone.
Hope this helps.
