Anyone able to play "Draw Something" on any CM7 based roms without it freezing? The game would start up but then after like 20 seconds it would freeze. I've tried on a few CM7 based roms and even MIUI but it only seems to be fully functional with no issues on stock roms.
Iam having problems to with it also on my cm7 T-Mobile g2x it would freeze and can't touch anything. Can't even play it.
Same here its not working ...idk how we could get around this....

I works "OK" on cm9. still very usable becasue i have been playing it for the last week, but it does freeze up every once in a while, and FC, and one thime form me it froze completely and i had to do a battery pull. So it works, but not really super well.
I'm having the same issue on the latest nightly for my G2x. I thought it might have been AdFree or another conflicting app but I haven't had any luck narrowing it down. Anyone find a way around this?
Add me to the can't play list also.

Yeah this poses a problem for me as well. Girlfriend just found out about this game and she was in love with it. Then found out it doesn't work on CM7 ROM's... F'in bummer.
Had to wipe and flash a stock based 2.3.3 ROM in the middle of the night just because she wanted to play the game with me.
Lol needless to say, I hope this problem is fixed somehow because stock based G2x ROM's are so bad compared to CM7.

Lol I am in the same boat bro, my girl is begging me to play every day and Im on CM7. Sucks. Was thinking about wiping and flashing a stock ROM myself but just not worth the hassle. Hoping someone finds a fix soon, I tried everything.
Also thought it was an adblock problem, till I stumbled accross this topic.
What? Are you guys running straight CM7 or CM7 based ROMS? I am running EaglesBlood v2.8, which is based off of CM7, and Draw Something works perfectly. Even faster than it was running on Bionic Reloaded v1.2 which is based off of stock.
The only "lag" I noticed was when I first started up the app, it took around 10 seconds to show me the login screen.

I'm running that too, and it crashes non-stop for me.
What kernel are the people that are affected running?
Personally, I'm running Faux's UV one, without DS.
I'm running straight CM7, the latest nightly to be exact. With the latest update of the game I can launch the app almost every time but it freezes when I try to enter actual gameplay. Ridiculous.
Try using Faux's kernel.

This is the fix. I installed Faux kernel with CM stock voltage. No freezes and ****. You can try other kernels too I guess. The only other kernel I tried was trinity and stock and they were both freezing.

There are several threads regarding the V21Y baseband, but 99% of the posts concern release dates and installation instructions. For those of you who have flashed it, how do you like it so far?
Seems to give better battery life and better GPS lock on. That's what I have experienced with it. Too bad there's no custom ROMs yet
Gps is vastly superior, so is wifi calling is perfect so far. Everything else works better fine. Since I use both on a daily basis it is a great upgrade for me. I always had RIL issues before those are totally gone now.
I miss the customization of cyanogen, but full functionally wins over little stuff
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Don't know about the call quality, because I unfortunately have my service disabled at the moment (not being able to pay the bill tends to end in that)..
But everything else, this is by far my favorite so far. I haven't experienced any bugs that I was used to having, and GPS works far better than before (yes you can use GPS without cell service, if you don't mind not having the ability to download maps)...
Faster. Stable. And way better battery life

I think mine is a combination of the new baseband and Beats audio.. (if that effects the incall sound) but, if it does.. a combo of those two make my calls sound great. I used to have trouble hearing people cuz it sounded bad, but now it is better.

It is so vastly superior to the old one it isn't funny. I can only speak for myself, but for the first time, I've not flashed anything since I got the leak. That's saying a lot, I used to flash 2 or 3 roms a day.

to be fair, 21e was never good to me, but 21y has been superb past several days. I miss some of the customizations of cyanogen, but I would not give up the perfect GPS, better wifi stability, and flawless wifi calling..
GPS is now equal or better than my iPhone.
Of note, my peak 3g/4g speeds are lower, I used to occasionally see a
10 megabits down on old Ril, but now with 21y I seem stuck at 5 or 6 down but ...I get those speeds in more places... And TMobile ping is always better than ATt..and att is never faster than 5.5 megabits so....draw your own conclusions

I have read a couple comments in other threads that after a few days people started having some problems and had to factory reset (or something), has this happened to anyone?
For stock only rooted it does great. I removed some bloat. I don't see better battery. I found better battery using 21e and faux's ds kernels. It is by far the best stock rom I have used. I am sure I could get better battery out of it if I changed some setting like sync. Any one have a good list of things to change, set and remove? I am very please so far. Can't wait to see some custom Roms and kernels.
Sent from a phone... do you really need to know more?
So the new baseband just has better battery and GPS lock?
For about a few weeks now my phone keeps shutting down in my pocket. It started doing while on miui gb, this rom had always been stable for me until the last 2 updates. I have recently flashed miui v4 and that was terrible, it shutdown 4-5 times in an hour. So now I have flashed aokp build 34 and I love this rom. But again this has shutdown in my pocket, only once so far though. Now could this be a software problem or hardware problem?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My immediate thought from reading other threads over the months...
What are your undervoltage settings? Even the default settings in all ROMs tend to affect certain people different due to minor variances in hardware tolerances. It may be worth changing the UV to +25, +50 and try to tweak until it becomes more stable.
I've never under volt as tried it once and phone just wouldn't work, so you could be onto something. Maybe my phone is overly sensitive to voltages. I'll try it and post back here how it goes.
How will it affect battery life?
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
I've been lucky that my phone seems to have been mostly happy with all ROMs at default, although I did add a +25 to Reaper after two random reboots in a week.
The battery changes from a minor change like that should be, well, minor. Still a lot better than saving battery by having the phone shut itself down
Your case strongly reminds me of the 'death pressure point's which I experience on my phone back in September.
(See my thread) I suffered the same issues as you for a month - blamed it on the phone not waking from sleep, but it turned put my battery was faulty, and not connecting properly.
Try applying some light pressure to the back of the phone, and see whether it will automatically turn off?

Oly,
Fancy adding a link to that thread? I don't remember that one so it could be a useful reminder.
Nope doesn't turn off. But I did read something like that a while back somewhere. It sort of makes a bit of sense as it only happens in my pocket I could leave it on the side all day and its fine.
How did you fix it was it the old 'pack it out with some paper' job. I remember doing that to a phone that had buttons, can you believe it a phone that had buttons!!!

I did place a couple of folded rizlas between battery and clip and it hasn't shutdown since. Maybe after all the farting about removing battery and sim has took its toll on the clip. Anyway I'm happy running blind ice m5 with nearly no problems now.

I dont know if it's just me but i noticed that those stuff happen a LOT more on ICS roms.
(although did have this in older versions of Reaper,
Endymion, Virtuous and especially RunnyDroid, never happened on sense 3.0 roms)
also:
* OverVolting helps
* Overclocking helps
* Tiamat kernel makes it WORSE ( at least for CM9 & MIUI v4)
Try This
I had the same problem and i used to put a little piece of paper behind the battery
and i worked for me..
I was really curious when it started reboots and freezes on reaper. Never suffered from that before. on endymion I could even undervolt by -100.
On reaper I have to overvolt by 25 to be stable. Really strange

After spending a couple months bouncing back n forth between different ICS roms, I'm happily back on the latest cm7 nightly. ICS is nice, but the Captivate is anything but designed for it. Cm7 is so much smoother, glitch free, bug free, simplistic, and just all around better energy for a rom. I am NOT dissing ICS, I'm simply saying our phones don't necessarily run better on ICS just because its "new" and "hip". Also, is it just me or is the ICS theming a bit depressing?

To each his/her own, but each device is different. My wife's captivate runs everything I throw at it with no problems and no lag. My own captivate is very picky. I tried most of the ICS roms, I think, and it only likes Team ICSSGS. It was a bit laggy at first but then I flashed Glitch kernel and lightly overclocked to 1248mhz on stock volts. Now it's buttery smooth, much more so than any GB rom or stock.
I am waiting on a SGSII ICS port so we get a nice colorful dialer and Samsung themes..
I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I'm on nightly THS ICS and totally happy with it. No problem whatsoever
I guess not every Cappy is happy with ICS though. My gf's gets SOD and random reboot with ICS. I'm trying other ICS ROMs with it and may finally get it back to GB.

Have you tried SlimICS? I have it on my phone and I know a few people that put it on their captivates, no problems so far...
Have you tried ZSimplyAOKP? No seriously, have you? I don't think anyone who's used this ROM would want to go back to GINGERBREAD :what: . Before you lose all hope give this one a go.

ICS
I've just recently switched back to Darky after trying nearly every ICS rom that I could flash. I had absolutely zero problems with them, and in my opinion the launchers and overall UI is much smoother than Gingerbread. However, I've had my Cappy for almost two years, and while I'm due for an upgrade, I love the phone too much to see it bricked because of an issue that nobody seems to be able to explain or figure out (including myself). But one thing is for certain... it has been a great couple of years and I'll stretch it out as long as I can!
I've try many roms too. zsimplyAOKP, DOCs, SlimICS, change modems, try each rom with different kernel... and Im thinking hard to get back to stock.
I have one of those old cappy who SoD over 80% bttery charge on stock.
Im now doing some testing with captivate keep alive at all time ON and even with that notice 1 or 2 reboots per day.
I went back to stock 2.3.3 for a bit too after getting pissed at the instability of the 5 or 6 ICS roms i flashed/tested out. In fact, one ICS kernel actually bjorked my USB port into thinking it was being used when it wasn't and vice versa. The real drag was not having hspda!! I've recently switched back to slimICS and have been absolutely LOVING it. I won't be switching roms again any time soon. As one stated previously in this thread, each cappy seems to have a mind of it's own
I have been using Slim ICS (with Apex Lancher) for 2 months now, all I can say is...WOW! It is super stable, tons of features and speedy too. Faster then CM7 as I recall. With every release it keeps getting better. Seriously, give it a try. With Slim on my Cappy I can happily wait for a quad core phone that catches my attention.

Well after reading up on the "encryption unsuccessful" issue, I decided to play it safe and go back to GB until a fix is discovered.
GB was good. But out of stock ROMs Froyo had the best battery life. And Eclair was good too. And just imagine how fast and cool Donut would be on our Cappies! Anyone to port?
So my wife has an LG G2X on stock android 2.3.4 and she complains that after a while it will move so slowly that it is almost unusable. I have told her to restart the phone whenever that happens and she is having to do that about once a week, but that clears up the problem for a while. Aside from that, everything works as it should. It is using the march 2012 baseband.
Since it is not my phone, I do not know exactly what all she is doing on her phone, but I assume it is mostly facebook, watching videos, texting, and calls. I'm looking for a stable ROM where everything works like stock and has at least the same (if not better) battery life as stock.
And yes, I have searched but a lot of the info seems outdated. I am thinking that I might just run a rooted stock ROM with a custom kernel (leaning towards faux's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720 )... or maybe the stable cm-7.2.0-p999
summary: wife's G2X becomes VERY laggy after ~1 week use, suggest a fix
thanks :good:
Having to restart once a week is not problem, if anything that's a good thing lol. I had to restart my stock unrooted g2x multiple times a week.......if you move to a custom rom your wife will probably have to restart about the same if not more. I'm on cm7 and i restart about once a day just because i like to, not out of necessity. If your wife isn't huge into customization than a stock rooted rom will work just fine. Faux makes a great kernel but it was a little harsher on battery for my liking. I'm running Trinity oc right now and love it. If i were you, i would look at mazouts latest kernel build. He makes AWESOME kernels and ill be moving over to his latest release whenever it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

i had her on a cm7 build with her previous phone (motorola defy) and she seemed to like it OK. didn't customize it too much, just used all the default settings.
after i posted this thread, i actually started to look at, and downloaded mazout's kernel... so now i'm thinking of trying out the 3/1 "nightly" build of cm7 with mazout's 0323 kernel. i can't seem to find a known bugs list for cm7 on this phone. are there any known bugs?
does this build of cm7 have a "restart" option in the power menu? that is one of my pet peeves with the stock ROM. the only way i have found to restart the phone is to "power off" and then "power on". i think she would be more willing to restart the phone if it was an automated restart
Yes there is aa "reboot" option that comes up from holding the power button. Maz's 0323oc kernel is awesome. I wouldn't put the Max over 1015 and keep the minimum at 216. Known bugs.....for me the only bug i had was the phone would heat up pretty bad overnight while charging. It was instantly fixed by going into my development settings under applications and selecting the "keep awake" option while charging.

threw "fast reboot" on there to see how she likes it since it doesn't require root, works more like an app killer, but kills all in one press.
now, would i see any noticeable gains by using a custom kernel (stock voltage, no overclock)?

Yes, not an extreme amount but a definite yes. I know by experience with CM7 that mazout's stock voltage beta kernel was much better than the stock CM7 kernel. Those kernels are only for CM7 though. I do not have any experience with an upgraded kernel on my g2x while it was stock as I flashed CM7 and mazouts kernel right after.

^ those stats are kind of irrelevant considering he's asking for a decent play out on battery while using performance. [All around use.] You just showed us what a phone with no data signals and almost no use other then the odd screen wake [possibly texts/calls] the op explained he needed a ROM that takes minimal battery with most use, and being a girl I would imagine she's using social networking which requires WiFi or 3G/4G Please don't take what I'm saying as offensive, your information is very handy however it steers the op in the wrong direction as I'm sure his wife likes to use her phone as much as possible without being stuck to a charger. My girlfriend is currently using my old g2x and so far we've had the best luck with cm7 stable and the trinity kernel with slight under volt. What I would suggest the op do is maybe take a little research nightly on her battery drain, find out what she's using the most and go from there. Unfortunately because its not HIS phone, he's not going to witness distinction first hand and won't be able come to a easy conclusion, and it doesn't help that the g2x devs are stuck on GB, too many ports to keep interest and the search could take forever.
LETS KEEP PRAYING TMOBILE HASNT FORGOT US!
PS spawne32, when you did have your phone like the picture did that include battery apps or task killers? Or just straight up OS? Whenever I tried the ROM you suggested [it has been a while, maybe since updated.] I get screen wake issues and all kinds of battery drain.

To the op, also recommend to your wife the app called "screen filter" it has an option to lower the key brightness, there are a few of those apps out there but I only remember using that, one of the g2x sad but true battery drainers.

Similar issue - frequent reboots - please suggest ROMs, kernels, other solutions!
I have an LG Optimus G2X (P-999) running the original, unrooted, stock OS (android 2.3.4 "gingerbread", with the "old" bootloader and the baseband from March 2012).
Similar to the OP's wife's phone, mine is running slower and slower, frequently locks up, sometimes so badly that I need to remove the battery to restart it, and sometimes it just restarts itself. I've already tried uninstalling unused apps, clearing caches, moving apps to the SD card, etc. None of that seemed to noticeably help, and lately I need to restart it at least once every 24 hours.
(There are other annoyances too, like the way the GPS hangs and drops, and the battery life isn't great - although the battery may just be too old.)
I'm planning to root it and uninstall the bloatware as a first step, using the instructions I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Then, I'm considering installing a custom ROM and/or kernel. (Most up-to-date list, I believe, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975934 )
Given the problems I'm having, do you think one or both will help? (If yes, do you have any specific recommendations for a ROM and/or kernel, or tips, or possible pitfalls I should avoid?) Are there other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
