I know, I know, this sounds like a typical newbie opinion question. But I'm not exactly looking for opinion here. I'm looking for FACTS pertaining to which ROM is going to give me the most optimized performance (un-altered benchmarks or whatever) while still giving me the most functionality(I.E. all aspects of device performing as well or better than stock). I got this device a little over a week ago, and really like it. I have been reading thread after thread and just want some help, so please don't think I'm just looking for a quick un-researched answer. I am looking for legitimate advice. I am currently running VOODOO kernal and oc'd to 1.2 ghz and getting benchmarks around 1650 ish? i believe. I do like TW, but dont swear by it. I tried MIUI, and i cant really stand it. CM doesn't want to flash right either, and i don't know which direction i want to go. I also feel this thread might help others in my position. Does PnP offer noticeable performance increases, aside from removed bloat? Thanks in advance for any advice provided!
Heintz 57 is the best, most stable and functional. Everything works. PnP is a very close second and everything works as well. I say try em all. I have and keep finding myself back on H57. It's really a matter of seeing which one best fits YOUR needs and style.

I prefer miui, hands down, and i've tried them all. Miui + glitches kernel, i can get over 3k quad scores. Not to mention, its super cusomizable--super easy to change themes (no need to flash). Not to mention, it's updated weekly by a great team of developers so it's constantly improving.

I am running the same MIUI and Glitch and it is impressive, smooth, very customizable ect. For pure performance I found JT's Vanilla GB V6 with either his new kernel V3 or Glitch Kernel to be the fastest performer. Any of the MTD based ROMs seem to perform better and I won't go back myself.
miui ftw.

Miui is sex. Somebody used to put a lot of hard work into porting it for us, hmm perhaps he's off developing elsewhere.
I heard there is a good trigger rom around somewhere. I forget who the dev was but he used to be here. He was AWESOME! But they kicked him out for some reason
I honestly like the MIUI rom. Everything looks and works amazingly. Only one bug atm, no MMS while you are on Wifi. So.. all you do is just disable it and then get your MMS's, and then go back on. It works.

CM7 is my favorite. It's well thought out by the original developers, looks great, runs good, and will run 3x the benchmark your friends still on stock will! That being said, it's still under development, and will sometimes do some strange things. For example, I woke up one morning to find my screen was on with colors inverted. Had to pull the battery to unfreeze it.
So, for stable ROM, I like H57. It's not as new and sleek, but it's stable and works perfectly!

Can someone post links to the MIUI thread, and links to glitches kernel? I'm running pick-n-pack and ready to try something new. I want to make sure I grab the right files and get this going but I am having a hard time finding the right things. I just need someone that can confirm what the latest files are so i grab the right stuff. I guess I am looking for MIUI and Glitches Kernel. I should be able to figure out how to root, red recovery and use odin out as I've done all of those before.
Thanks.

I would stick with the bundled JT's kernel for the moment. Right now if you flash the latest MIUI then the Glitch kernel, you'll lose all sensors. It sounds like they should have the problem fixed soon, though.
Thanks for the quick reply. Are the links in your sig where I can watch for this to make sure I can do this when it's fixed?
You wont find the latest MIUI releases on here anymore. [mod edit: you know the rules....]

Simple question. If it ever becomes available (no official updated in well over a month) will you use this as an everyday ROM on your G2X?
I for one may try it out, but as most users have reported on the CM website, CM7 is so broken I may just wait for the stock version.
What do you mean by cm7 is broken? And I very likely would use it?

Here's the way I figures it: my stock ROM was bugged, it took soft bricking it and reloading a stock rom, which went buggy and finally flashing CM7 to get a rom which worked correctly. The only broken thing I notice if DSP manager FC'ing and Volume+ FC'ing, if I compare that to the ton of advantages and the fact it's actually stable OS-wise, I'd rather deal with two apps FC'ing at times then not even being able to text or the responsiveness being so poor that I want to throw the phone at someone.
So, yea, +1 for running CM9 if/when it comes out.
Yeah... I don't think cm7 is broken at all.
Gapps not loading for you is your fault, either you did or didn't flash the right zip, or it's just ignorance on your part.
Of course people will use cm9 if it works for our phone, that's a redundant question. ICS would run so smooth for us if everything works.
Just switched to cm7 because of random reboots and programs closing out while using them on stock.
cm7 is ok so far when i restored everything i got alot of force close but thats all due to mixmatch date since i was on 2.3.3 lg and no on 2.3.7 cm7.
but i got everything to work just find for me. Took the rom apart and repacked it with some stuff.
So what im saying is you probably did something wrong. And i would run cm9 if it came out that would be ICS but also ill be moving to a galaxy s2 by the time it comes out.
CM7 is Gold
Transitioning from the stock G2X ROM, to CM7. CM7 is like Goldmaster for this phone, as good as it gets. Awesome battery life. Usability, No random crashes. It just sounds like you picked a bad version to begin with. Now what built, and nightly were you using. Did you try the stable 7.0.0.1.
Always clear cache & Darvik and then proceed.

Can't say I've tried to send a true mms, just huge texts messages which get sent as an mms. Try an app called Handcent; the stock messaging app is to fail!
Before getting throttled for downloading on a 2g network (so much for that 5gigs of "high-speed" data, liars), youtube worked fine.
GPS issue has nothing (well, almost) nothing to do with CM, there's three threads that I know about regarding gps fixes. The only "gps" problem I notice now is that google maps sucks at getting a lock and I have to use Gps Status to get the satelites homed in on me before Maps will get my location.
I am positive the devs will get us a good working version of ics so when cm9 comes out and is as stable and fast as my current setup i will daily drive it for sure
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Once a working ICS-based build becomes available, I will certainly give it a look.
CM7 is working fine for me, i had to flash the gapps, and its working fine. And yes i would run CM9 when it comes out...
For sure I'll use, cm7 rocks! Hope cm9 goes the same way!!
It adds some more ICS functionality (like a 4 way lock screen with dedicated Camera slider), ICS camera app, and some other fixes. I am running it on my current G2x. It seems far more stable than the previous release.
You can check it out here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13939-rom-miui-port-miuius-galnet-miuiandroid-updated-02052012/
the link shows 02/02/12 I flashed that and saw absolutely no differences in that build to the ones from dec 2011... I played with it for a whole day and it was not good at all, lag (stock kernel) all day horrible battery, and wifi was funky 9just seemed slower then it should have been. All on a fresh install after full wipe using scrubber and wiping system & data twice... Just my opinion though.
Very strange, are you sure you flashed the right one? I flashed mine and I have the ICS camera and ICS lockscreen now. Wifi and 3g/4g seem to be far more responsive than before as well and I don't have any lag issues either.
that lock-screen is just a theme, and that camera is the same MIUI camera that has always been there.
The lockscreen isn't a theme, it is what comes with the newest MiUi, and the camera is different too.
It as at least different from the previous release of Galnet and I am definitely running smoother than before. I have had no crashes, no battery pulls, and much more responsive. The previous release was crashing in market:games, this one has no such issues. Of course this is how I installed it:
Load into recovery, wipe user data then mounts and storage format/system, then installed Galnet stable 2.2.1 then MiUi 2.2.3 over top. I suppose I could have installed just MiUi 2.2.3 but I read something about it needing previous versions to install on top of first for stability. Either way, I am just a messenger, the ROM works wonders for me.

yes the lockscreen is a theme...
it is called default_theme.mtz
like the stock layout on miui is also a theme you can just include another ¨default theme" and it will show when you install the rom
and about the camera it is just the stock MIUI camera.apk

The camera is just themed, nothing is new, it's all a theme. It's called "MIUI" for a reason-- it is extremely customizable.
Yup all just a theme...
Hell, you can make the lockscreen look exactly like sense, doesn't mean it is... and that camera is the regular MIUI camera.

Did you not see all the comments from the rest of the community that told him he his wrong? I think he got Owned.
true...mmmm guys by the way anyone can give me a few links for how to become a developer? i wana learn i ussually learn fast.. i got windows 7 64bit ic an develop with this? i wana become pro developer like you guys we cannot let our G2x Die
there is no getting owned there are a bunch of people calling miui a theme which is strange because it is a flashable ROM that can be themed which has nothing to really do with the point of what was said. In other words a bunch of pricks who would rather nitpick than actually provide any form of useful information. All I was doing was making people aware of the port being available. Currently when you flash the ROM it gives you the ICS 4 way unlock screen. As the default lockscreen for the ROM that makes it no longer a theme but default. Can you apply a theme over it and change it? Surely you can. Was that the point of the message in the first place, no? So here is an idea, you want people to help develop on the G2x and I assume you want people to actually support XDA, so don't be a bunch of pricks. Don't say pwned or owned or whatever you think is going to make you elite in your mind. Be polite, you know you can do that with out being a total **** about it. This is also the reason why developers stop responding and why less people start posting and why eventually the community and the development for the phone goes down hill. So be proud, be proud that you are leading the charge into prickdom. I am sure it will make XDA that much better.

just cause it has a theme defaulted doesn't make it an "ICS functional" rom, it makes it any other MIUI rom with a theme on it. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm just saying that there are way too many posts about MIUI having ICS in it, when it clearly doesn't have even some of the minor things in it. The camera especially why in the world would MIUI have an ICS camera for the g2x already lol? Again, I understand you were just trying to let people know of a port but when it has a lot of "false" information that only leads to people freaking out, and having little bits of false hope for an ICS rom when it doesn't even have the simple animations/transitions of ICS. Maybe it is just me, but I'll be that "prick" to tell you that it isn't an ICS rom. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Except it actually does have ICS functionality in the Galnet release. It would actually be super sweet if you got off your high horse, stopped with the you are posting false information crappie and actually read the release notes for the ROM next time. Yes, it has ICS functions, no I never claimed it was running ICS as full blown ROM. I am sorry you think you are providing some deep insight into what I was posting. You aren't. You are simply trying to get the last word and making your self look like an even bigger prick at the same time. Also as far as hurting my feelings, what are you ****ing 12 years old? I don't care what you have to say except that you are wrong thinking that ICS functions means ICS ROM. So, if you don't like what I have to say report it or move the **** on.

Only place in that changelog that says anything about ICS or 4.0 is the rom version he posts in the changelog (which is from 11.26) it says 2.3.7 framework all over the place. Please copy and paste where it says ICS anything... and why you so mad?
I am done with you, you are like a 12 year old who is only interested in fighting. Again, I never said it had anything more than some functionality so get off it.

lol funny you say that with no comeback because he is right, galnet rom merely just have ics looks and feel but the backend is just gb, it shared very small ics functionality. you have been pwned once more
I am not new to the android world of flashing. I recently attempted to flash tbaldens ROMs as well as the virtuous ROM, the ROMs do not allow my camera to work. The camera works on the stock rooted ROM as well as bulletproof 1.1 and undeadk9s ROMs. Any insight would be appreciated. I am truly going to sell this phone to the highest bidder on ebay unless I can fix my camera dilema. According to what tbalden said the camera drivers don't initiate properly, I would love to use ICS on this phone but no camera on basically any ROM over android 2.3.5 is a big deal breaker.

Well, until someone sits down and makes it work, it's not going to.
Obviously there is no problem with your camera itself, as it sounds like it's fine on software that is or is close to what it came with.
Anything else is a bonus granted by the time and effort dumped into these projects by people in their spare time.
You've identified a problem you wish to overcome - using the device with software released long after the device itself, to which the manufacturer and carrier have not chosen to update to.
The solution has yet to be developed - every person working on it brings us closer to having it.

The port isn't ICS plus I loathe the UI with a passion but thanks anyway. Odds are the camera still wouldn't work for me.
No one has any insight as to why this happens? I can't use the camera on many ROMs which limits me even more considering we hardly have a good choice in ROMs anyway.

Honestly, you would either have to take that up with the author of the ROM and/or work on a resolution yourself.
If it's an ICS ROM you are having issues with, remember, HTC hasn't released any ICS code for this device, so anything you get your hands on is most likely a works-in-progress given the state of ICS development.
There is a lot of positive advancement towards the ICS software, but it's a huge undertaking and most of it has to be hacked apart and rebuilt for the device. There is only so much any individual person can do at once, and ICS is a gigantic project to tackle.
We are all working on this in our spare time, around work, spending time with significant others and families/friends...these are all projects of donated time because we enjoy doing it... but it is at the expense of something else we could be doing with our lives.
The more people that pitch in and help, the more quickly we will all have what we want. What one person wants may not necessarily be what another wants, but once it's made and shared with the community it's there for others to use and build on.
Maybe talk to the author of the ROM you are having an issue with, and if they can't get to it right now because they have a pretty big list of things to do in their project already, see what help they can give towards you working out a solution. They might be able to point you in the direction of what's wrong, or what they think may not be working right so you can help research and devise a solution.
I have spoken to the author, thing is its not just ICS ROMs. Its any sensation port from what I can gather so far. I literally have only 3 ROMs to chose from that have the cam working. I would love to be pointed in the right direction but all I got told is its a problem with camera driver. What I don't get is if its such a problem why is it ONLY MY phone. Its not like they shipped one phone with a locked camera driver.. what are the odds of that? What is different in my board? Or is it just a random fluke? Also what would need to be done to get the drivers to work? I have experience building from source but none working on ports.

did you clear dalvik cache when flashing the rom?
did you wait five minutes after flash and 1st boot, then reboot?
I am not having problems with the camera on latest pyroice no-sense.
Third party camera apps don't work, yes I did wipe in fact I did everything I can do to possible eliminate user error. Either the stock camera app won't show a preview or it just won't even open. Trust me when I say I'm FAR from a noob and the only reason I'm posting is because I have done everything possible I know of.
Fresh install of any ICS ROM and trying to open the camera app results in the app just closing no FC no errors NOTHING!. Using virtuous unity, I just can open the camera app and I can't see a preview nor does the cam app take pix.

dalvik cache needs to be wiped in advanced settings in recovery, and standard wipe (factory restore & delete user files) will not wipe dalvik, and I had problems when I did not specifically wipe it, so I was just checking.
also, you are not restoring apps using titanium backup? that is known to cause problems.
did you test camera on 1st install before installing any other apps. perhaps the most likely reason would be if there was some app installed on your phone that is overwriting a critical file and that is the reason for the problem with the camera.
just some suggestions that might narrow the search and help solve the problem.
I did everything u mentioned and then some like I said I'm FAR from a noob. Lol I been flashing ROMs since the G1 I own over 5 android devices and I also have rooted over 100 devices 40 of them are still in active use all around my city.
I have a logcat if it makes it easier for anyone to understand.. I have DONE ALL the basic ****. Lol

I was hoping for an easy fix, but sounds like its gonna be a tough one.
Oddest piece of the puzzle is that it seems like something unique to your phone, as the error is not reported (as far as I know) by anyone else.
If it is bugging on fresh install with no other apps, well, that is a puzzle, and I'm out of suggestions. I hope you can get it figured out, the phone is great with these new roms, but I understand that it is a lot less useful without a working camera.
I have done a warranty return on a t-mobile MTS4 that had been rooted and s-off. just reflashed to stock before return, and there was no problems from there side. on the other hand, since your phone is working when flashed to stock, they might not be happy with the return...
Its such a puzzle, I will just eventually use this until it falls apart. I am partially disabled n am always dropping my phone, funny thing is I didn't start dropping this phone until after about 3 weeks of realizing the camera don't work on certain ROMs so I know the falls didn't do it. I'm already on my 2nd device on less then a year with my two year contract... After this one goes I'm just going to switch devices.
My main concern is for others out there who may have this problem and don't even know it yet because they are still on stock ROMs. If I get the money to replace this device soon I will just donate it to a dev who knows what to look for better then me.

Does anyone know of a website or youtube channel that does reviews for the S3 ROM for Verizon? I hate downloading buggy ROMs so it would save me some headaches.
Did you try the ROM threads here?

ROM thread? You mean the section with all the ROMS in it that has Stars next to the thread title? I've been in that thread and it doesn't seem like a well organized place to find something stable. The information is there, but just not well organized.
You won't know if the Rom works for your phone until you tried them. If you can't find a Rom that works well on your phone then I suggest going back to stock. The reason I am saying this is because not everyone here have the same experience with the same Rom.

Thanks for the reply
Id like to help you find a ROM that you like. This phone is so much better running it the way you'd like it to. Are you trying to run a stock based TouchWiz ROM or AOSP? This is very important as not many AOSP ROMs are completely stable. TouchWiz stock based ROMs however are very stable. I would like to suggest my ROM made off of the official ROM for our phones. It offers many very nice features which you can either choose or not choose to use with the Aroma installer. It's the forth release of the ROM so all the bugs have been fixed and the ROM is fast and stable. Please check out the thread to the ROM and read through it and see if you fund it worth trying. The thread offers a lot of good information about exactly what you will find in the ROM.

Thanks man, you are so kind! The only ROM i have ever used is Synergyrom and the last few updates I did with Synergyrom had some bugs in it. I haven't tried the very last patch though. One update gave my bluetooth phone static. This last ROM i am using from Synergy makes Dolphin crash but I'm not sure if it's due to the ROM. My google maps also isn't working either. It works but it only tells me to turn left or right but never gives me the name of the street that I want to turn on.
Anyway, all I really need from the ROM is something that allows Nova Launcher to work, Bluetooth without static, Dolphin without crashing, Google Maps to work by giving me streets names when it talks to me, and the ability to use Amazon Video on Demand. The Amazon thing might be a long shot though but that would be really awesome! I don't play any games on my phone, mainly use it for music and watching movies from youtube or whatever I download. Amazon on demand would be great though!
Edit: One more thing I forgot to add! They keyboard needs to be 1 handed operational. I forgot what it's called but I currently have it on my phone, the keyboard is smaller and moved more to the right so I can operate it with one hand. I also don't know what AOSP is so I really don't need that.
Look on YouTube for a guy name Hobart he does great reviews on most all popular roms.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check them out.
I personally really like jelly beans. Looks more like aosp but is touchwiz based.
