[Q] Draw something on CM7 based roms - T-Mobile LG G2x

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.

I'm using EBv28 also and it froze when I first tried to open it.

I just updated to nightly 225 and also updated draw something and still no go...at least now i can get to the start up screen now instead of crashing almost immediately...
Also running stock cm7 nightly

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.

your favorite ROM?

I've been using ****AO5P for a few weeks now and it's absolutely amazing. I don't really know what else to ask for, but is there anything better out there?
Well shiftsense was just as fast and had the same battery life but I recently switched to bamf 1.0.7 and I like it. Lots of mods and themes and same speed, not amazing on battery life but that's okay

I too use BAMF, on double shot right now love the landscape mode on home page.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I've tried a bunch and have settled on BAMF 1.0.7
i've tried em all, but sticking with cm7 for now.. i loved bamf forever, but switched a few days ago because the call answer and sleep of death bugs were too much for me to handle.
ShiftAOSP for AOSP Rom and my rom for a sense Rom.
how do you run two roms at the same time?
Synergy for me.....the latest build is working awesome for me. Was on bamf soab but the "end call" bug kinda scared me away, other than that it was a good rom. Synergy just works for me

Lol nandroid is my friend we go way back!
I guess my fav is stock rooted. I'm in bamf now and it has some really nice features but I don't see any big advantage over stock rooted. I'm going to try to give bamf a week b4 I make up my mind though.
I'd love an open source rom but I keep reading about one bug after another. I like everything to just...work.

If I run into either of those bugs I'm back to stock rooted. I went into bamf tools and chose 2.1 lock screen so I hope that will prevent the end call bug.
The sleep of death bug wont bother me too much as long as it is very rare and the phone can be turned on. Sleep of death to brick would be bad

Son of a Bliss is awesome. If you like sense 3.0, you'll hate it after you try a sense 3.5 Rom. I always hated 3.0. Too laggy. Sense 3.5 FLIES!!!

BAMF forever, smoothest sense rom out there IMO
I was never an AO5P fan but when i tried SHIFTAO5P HACK3ED and i absolutely love it. However i was a Bamf fan when i first rooted, switched to Infused Theory and loved it when 3.0 was added so i think i will have to try 3.5. I have seen videos and it looks good. Link? im not seeing it in xda, he move like theory did?
Edit: nm google told me
wow his list of bugs looks annoying? =/ ill try but i think it will be a 1 day thing. thats not to say ShiftAO5P Hacked doesnt have bugs but i have foud a few but i can live with them.
Yeah I began with minibamf which was vanilla also then I started messing with cm7 mods and stuff fell.in love, as I progressed I thought shift ao5p hack3d was great but this new romicied iBolt Tom based off OC he aforementioned rom is SOOOOO FAST

Hellfire or Eagle (ICS)

Which one are you using??
I tried both but haven't seen a difference on either..
But overall there are some things that aren't working that made me go back to my previous rom.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I had a lot of FC's on Hellfire's initial build, tried the second version, it was a bit better but then switched to EB's version and everything seems to work. I also installed the latest Faux kernel to save on battery.
both have issues at the moment. remember this is just an alpha build so you will have issues. just give it about 2 - 3 months. right now i'm using HF GB 1.9. it is soooooooooo smooth that i haven't wanted to reflash ICS. IMO HF 1.9 is clearly the best GB ROM out there. also HFS was stable when I had it. I didn't have any issues with it. no FC or anything other than just the normal stuff not working.
I have been running HFS for several days now and it has been running very smoothly for an Alpha release. Looking forward to updates in the near future.
Have any of you tried self kang 3? Not to through the topic off course.
I think HFS is most stable of the two.
I have tried both. Right now, I prefer EB but that is just my preference. They are both fine roms.
Right now i just like the look of EB over HF
Hadn't tried Hellfire but I'm using eglesblood. Using it because don has more experience with ics cuz he has the nexus an everyone seems to like his rom on the gnex. Not saying it to bash hell, just that has less experience but I can see hell has a lot of potential.

HFS v.1.1
Haven't tried EB ICS, but am very happy with HFS. I've had no problems since I flashed it when it came out. My phone has an uptime of 4.5 days without a FC or glitch. Right now it's my daily driver till v1.2 comes out.
PartzMan2
Phone: Rooted G2x
Rom: HFS v1.1
OC: 1200 Mhz
I'm using eb right now because its the most stable atm. I'm a big fan of hell's work so as soon as its as smooth as hellfire , I'm flashing It.

Faux kernel hasn't made any battery saving changes yet, just adding OC/UV and DS Driver
I just installed EB and it's pretty much perfect. Runs smooth as hell, and I love the new ICS stuff. I am having a huge issue with not being able to get any data connection though. I've read and re-read through the pages of the original post but couldn't find anyone mentioning this issue. I have tried to manually add the apn and it doesn't seem to save the settings. Has anyone else had this issue with EB? Does anyone have a simple fix for this issue?
Thanks for reading.
Both great
Both roms are great, ive used em both and currently running HFS, I wish the camera would get sorted out soon otherwise they are both pretty great.
Hello, everyone!
I have nothing but love for the HellFire ICS ROM, and have been using Hell's ROMs since Hellfire Phoenix 1.5.
I used EB for a while a few months back, but preferred the CM7 UI and stayed with that until I first tried the Hellfire ROMs.
I've noticed that EB ICS rom lags a bit when I hit the app drawer, not really a big deal, but gets annoying sometimes, I'm not sure if its the same for Hellfire?

Are you using juice defender or a custom kernel? If so try a solid 2.3 rom without that stuff. No offence intended towards the devs. Custom kernels have never played nice with my phone.

which ROM is the fastest?

I am running ICS (AOKP?) on my G2x, and have installed many apps. Recently I noticed that the phone kind of runs slow - sometimes laggy when I open such as apps as pandora and google docs, etc. That makes me wonder if I should look for a faster ROM. Which one is the fasted? ICS is generally more resource hungry? or Gingerbread could be lighter and faster generally speaking?
Go with an OC/UV kernel instead. You can try faux049b5 or morfics or harsh 1904 or 1504 with OC. They are all good in their own sense.
The respective links of the kernels are in the development section.
Anything besides ICS
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, there's a few things we need to know. Who's ROM are you using? EaglesBlood, Hellfire, CM9, Team Kangs? And what kernel are you running? The stock included in the ROM or did you flash a different one?
I'm using EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.3 with stock Faux Kernel. I didn't have that issue. That's one recommendation. Depending on which one your using will depend in other recommendations. If you decide you use AOSP (MIUI) instead I recommend Stormaggedon's ROM's. MIUI.us kept giving me force crash errors for force crash errors for a force crash error for reporting the force crash on start up. Didn't matter how long it sat nor how many times I restarted it.
Try EaglesBlood first. I'm about to clash Hellfire ICS with the harsh kernel. I'll let you know how that runs.
Edit: HellFire ICS with Harsh Kernel works nice. Its smooth, no lag, oh and in the developers settings have kill all apps when you leave them. Try that as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Pretty much all the roms are fast on here. Its what you use your phone for and install on it that eventually start slowing it down.
I know I personally favor the hellfire phoenix rom, but asking or saying which rom is the best/fastest is kinda ignorant as they all are the best for their own reasons.

Your missing one update. He's up to 1.09 now. Oh and um... yeah, GB is slow. Something I figured out when I made the change to ICS. But, I think I'll humor it. Ive been looking for a half decent GB rom. Might try EB's out.

Are you saying ICS roms are faster then any gb rom?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Go with any GB rom (CM7.2 RC1 for me with Faux kernel), they are much smoother and faster than ICS roms currently are. I have tried every ICS rom (even with harshs latest kernels as of yesterday) and while they have made great strides I find CM7.2 RC1 to still be much smoother and faster (especially under heavy usage).

Best rom for simple mobile?

I got simple mobile running on my g2x for my wife. And data seems slow it wasn't before I had to mess with apns a lot to get it to work. And the web wouldn't work unless I checked request desktop version. And the Facebook app won't load gives me unstable server or some weird ish there.

Go to a Gingerbread rom until the G2X gets a fully working ICS/Jellybean port. I'd recommend CM7 Nightlies.

Any flaws with cm7? Not too fond with it. And if you can what are some pros about cm7?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Simple mobile runs perfect on my phone, just got with them a week ago and everything works. On temasek(?)'s latest ROM.
Benefits of cm7? Lol too many to list.
cm7 or a cm7 based variant is definitely the most operable option for the g2x at the moment in terms of every day usability and stability. I don't really know why you would be particularly against using it so if you care to detail why you don't like it aside from the fact that its gingerbread based perhaps we could help you to consider juny. eb ics may well be the reason you're having the problems you're having, a lot of the ics/jb variant roms have data drop issues. if you haven't and are deadset on using an ics/jb rom, try paranoid android, kashmalaga, or the hackfest roms.
