Still waiting on more development for the G2X, flashed the early release of Gingerbread and my facebook syncs don't work and neither did my gps, flashed Cyanogen and still had a few bugs and havent tried Bionix yet cause I don't like the all black theme. So I guess i'm patiently waiting for something to catch my eye.
And you started a thread just to tell us your still waiting? Lol you think anybody cares? There are a bunch of options out there to run most of which are amazing. Spend some time running the different roms and I think you would be pleasantly surprised that they are pretty bug free. It would have been a more rewarding time then making another I want more development thread.

What exactly did you hope to get out of this thread...?

Wow I can't believe you started a thread just to whine. When last time I checked, devs are not your employees or your slaves. If you don't like what's out there, tough, make something yourself.
To me, it seems like the rate of development is great compared to the time the phone has been out.
Really guys, calm down I was just expressing my feeling. You guys didn't have to reply to this either. I have been testing out other roms and these were my thoughts. Skyhigh2004, which rom are you currently running.
I'm running faux's aosp newest release and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel. Smooth as butter, no lock ups, and everything that I have tried or needed works flawlessly. I have ran all of the roms on xda and I would also recommend bionix. I know you said you didn't like the theme but there is an optional stock Ginger theme in the theme section, its a really smooth rom. Try them out.

Sometimes, the responses I see on this forum are more ignorant/immature than the post they are pointing fingers at...

Just sit and hold your breath till a perfect rom comes out, seriously man how can you say you are waiting "patiently" when you start a new thread to complain....just run stock froyo! Or make your own rom!!!
G2X
Stock Gingerbread won't sync Facebook. Google did away with it. Only Custom roms will have this functionality.
As far as the theme, CM7 (and other custom roms) usually have built in Themes which you can download from the market and install. Changes the colors of the icons, notification bar, icons, etc.
Damn Google and fb must not be getting along

Hey I flashed faux's aosp also but what do you mean "and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel" Doesn't flashing it change the kernel?
I meant I flashed the alternate ext4 0.0.7 kernel on top of the rom after it booted up and I waited ten mins. The rom itself as packaged is ext3. There is a seperate thread for faux's extra kernels.

Coming from the Vibrant where we had only 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, EDT, Eugene and Master) I think this phone is doing pretty good!
We already have 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, Team Shockwave, CM7 and Faux123) in one month! And I've seen two others saying they are making roms for it too, just have not release them yet! Forgot their names!!!
I think what we do need is more themes, but that's it!

do a news search for google + facebook it seems facebook was caught trying to spread negative rumors about Google.
In other words facebook was talking **** and got caught lol
I haven't caught up on what happened but its not the first thing that makes it seem like they aren't playing nicely.I wonder if it also have to do with both google and facebook possibly becoming competitors in some of the same markets they are trying to expand into. what ever happened to the recently re-rumored facebook phone?
Damn greedy cooperate. Fb should stick to social networking and Google with android

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work
Just wanted to give props to all that worked on the ROM. I flashed it a couple weeks ago on my Samsung Infuse and its silky smooth. I ran S7 forever because it was so smooth and was reluctant to switch but its worked out great.
Well done...
I think Zeus will be my first non stock rooted rom I try. Then maybe the R3volution sounds interesting.
Switch to r3velation. That rom is cool as tits

Zeus was the best ROM out there it had a few problems like random reboots and android.system crashing on first boot but battery life was incredible i used the rom for 6 to 8 weeks then my flashing addiction kicked in and i am running vagabond and so far i am impressed at how well it is running.
first phone was captivate

The only thing bothering me about Zeus ROM Build 6 are the following --
Without Go Launcher Ex, I cannot edit my apps down in bottom of the home screen. Also, whenever I use a web page bookmarked in the Samsung Web Browser, the Bookmarks to SD program automatically reverses the order the bookmarks are in.
Other than those things, Zeus ROM Build 6 works fine.

You can edit the bottom 3 apps(you cannot change home/application button) by go into application, hit menu, press view type, select customizable grid, then hit menu again, press edit, Change the bottom apps, go to menu again and press save.

Dont quit on Zeus... Best Rom Ever!!!
I had Zeus v5.2 for more than a month and just noticed that v6 is out. I just updated and it looks and runs amazingly well, better than 5.2 in my opinion. Thank you for building it! I cannot wait to see how long my battery lasts with the latest version.
I've just installed Zeus as my first cook rom. Everything is really nice. Except a small bug of glass lock screen took me hours to find out. But I enjoyed it. Thank you Dman
Zues
Thanks too all that worked on Zues! You guys are the best! I like R3V too but don't like black and white. Oh well, Zues is the boss!
Also, when my phone load up, is there anyway to fix the lockscreen that shows up first? Thanks for any assistance.
Zeus is very nice but i think R3v have raise the bar ...just a notch

MIUI was my favorite, but the lack of foursquare makes it a deal-breaker for day-to-day. Currently on ICNB; it's rock-ish, like those Chevy Truck commercials.

Valhalla Black. Solid. Waiting for miui
I use my slightly modified valhalla black.
I added /etc/profile with some command line aliases since I use the CLI a lot more than I used to now.
Updated superuser and some other files, my own bootanimation, my own init.d files and a few apps added on install and some more debloating of apps I don't use. It's still 99% VB though.
My favorite thing about it is the stability. Raver did some fine work with that ROM in addition to the work Whitehawk did.
Was on VB for a long time. Then MIUI for over a month. Now using erikmm's Sweet Child Of Mine. What I like about this one is he's pulled a lot from MIUI and put it in this. Check it out and see. Plus the name is just bad ass.
MIUI. I never have to answer the phone immediately, and I always had my phone on silent anyway. Everything else is the ****.
I'm on the latest version of Sweet Child Of Mine and loving it!! I love MIUI but I need to have the ringtone work. I like the MIUI features that are incorporated into the Sweet Child Of Mine ROM.
VB....solid
you know the trick to getting ringtones to work on miui load the mp3 player then hit home so it stays resident in memory ur phone will ring ;P

Define "stable". If you mean smooth and speedy, there's a couple of them out there. Just have to try different ones out for what works best for you.
If you're looking for a fully functional one, don't hold your breath. It's unlikely that we'll see any significant updates or drivers from LG any time soon (if ever).
I'm liking Eagles Blood AOSP ICS 4.04...
But seems lie some of the bugs kinda ironed themselves out. A little weird.
These are the issues I have.
Voicemail notification is not working for me (although missed call is)
I was not getting my Gmail notifications, seems fine now after turning airplane mode on/off.
Video Camera doesn't work (known issue, thanks to NVidia)
Getting a SIM Error not being recognized (but I can make calls and do all the normal stuff)
In the beginning, EBLauncher crashed often, once 3 times in a row that required a battery pull, it has not done it since.
This build is smooth, fast and IMO looks great and getting over 24hrs on battery but keep in mind we are all different users!!
