Since I had no permission to post a new thread, so Ive just posted a reply at the following link
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23783120&postcount=1338
and I've made a forward ported P990/P999 based on the lge-kernel-star managed by arcee
(Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23831782&postcount=1351)
and finally
this is a bootable image for P990(under testing) and P999(not tested at all)
(See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23834645&postcount=1353)
(all for CM9/ICS)
http://code.google.com/p/openstar2x/downloads
this is just first step toward the kernel 3.0
happy hacking~!
P.S.: I also have forward ported working (but less stable) kernel 2.6.35 (about ~7 days needed to boot up)
this encourage me to forward port kernel 3.0. and this is the result
ChangeLog
03/20
1. fixed haptic feedback

Woah! This is actually pretty cool! But I'm still confused... Does this mean we have media acceleration in ICS now?

I think that's something that is being/was worked on. I read some people were having that issue on the O2x side.
I'm not sure what the development is like for the G2x.

Once they will fix it for O2, then it'll be fixed for G2x, not much difference in the kernel sources there.

kernel part is opensource can be modified, enhanced etc.
but the kernel 2.6.32 is Nvidia's ODM/NVRM based kernel.
the ODM/NVRM part is closed source, can't be modified.
our old tegra 2.6.32 kernel is hardly dependent to this ODM/NVRM
this kernel communicate with the nvrm_daemon
even CPU frequency, back-light, vibration etc. almost all device specific modules are dependent on nvrm_daemon.
that's the handicap of ODM/NVRM based kernel.

I have no p990 / p999 device. I have only one SU660(Optimus 2x / 3-button / no fm-radio / TDMB supported) device.
so I can't much test/debug on p990/p999.
on SU660 almost all things works fine. SU660 have no such BSOD problem.
Please try to test and feedback if you have some time to test kernel 3.0.8

You should probably move this to development if your want more exposure and testing

This is correct, Dev section is for your own work or the work of another which you are personally supporting in a technical sense.
I have flashed this and I haven't been able to use the phone much yet. Battery life is not as good as Morfic or Faux, but that may be mostly due to different voltage settings or things functioning which didn't or didn't fully before.
@wkpark,
No offense but your post is a little confusing.
"the kernel 2.6.32 is Nvidia's ODM/NVRM based kernel.
the ODM/NVRM part is closed source" "our old tegra 2.6.32 kernel is hardly dependent to this ODM/NVRM"
So, if this kernel and the old kernel are ODM and thus closed source, is it just the NVRM part which is closed? ODM just means some other company created it but NVidia is putting their label on it because that's the agreement with the kernel dev. So, it's not clear what the difference is, out side of a number.
"this kernel communicate with the nvrm_daemon
even CPU frequency, back-light, vibration etc. almost all device specific modules are dependent on nvrm_daemon.
that's the handicap of ODM/NVRM based kernel."
Does that mean the old kernel...didn't? That would make no sense because you state the old kernel is also NVRM.
So, all in all, the thing I am interested in, and I believe the community wants to know, is what EXACTLY is the difference between your release and any other ICS kernel we have, outside of a number? If it has all the exact same handicaps and improves nothing, why use it?
Edit: This may just be my computer at fault, but USB tethering seems to not work. I have had issues with it previously though. HFS 1.4
Edit 2: haptic feedback seems stronger. Nice.

this is not clear sentense. but basically it is correct.
the ODM/NVRM glue is opened (named odm-kit) but that's all almost nothing opened to us.

As I continue to use it I will mention benefits and shortcomings I notice.
Your post didn't make it clear what did change or improve.
So far, after one phone call, some xda browsing, gtalking, and one brief titanium restore of one app
I noticed lag while scrolling through titanium's list of backed up, etc list and much improved screen rotation response. Screen response feels close to GB. As mentioned elsewhere no OC/UV available for it though.

It has it's own working repo. look at this repo. and whole commit histroy
https://github.com/wkpark/tegra-linux-3.0.y/tree/p99x-ics (3.0.8)
https://github.com/wkpark/tegra-linux-3.0.y/tree/p99x-ics-3.0.y (3.0.25)
and look at the changelog of kernel 3.0
http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.0
as you can see. this repo does not have OC/UV patch.
(but I already introduce the famous "FakeShmoo" OC/UV patch at the original post.)
no BFQ/SIO scheduler, or any enhancement patch sets introduced by other developers.
but you can use all stable features of the kernel 3.0 like as cleancache/zcache,
no more BKL, enhanced IRQ handler (fasteoi) and more.
(Please see above ref.)
this is very earlier stage of kernel 3.0 for P99x/SU660
but almost all is working now! isn't it enough ?

I can say that almost all change must be possible to apply onto the new kernel 3.0

Lets hope not! Looks like a pretty promising kernel, I might have to give this a shot after a bit. We need another kernel to run with CM7 that doesn't include SBC.
EDIT: So since this is based off of the CM kernel I am going to take a shot in the dark and guess it is a BFS base then or no?
Currently installed seems good so far.

I don't have time right this second to give it a flash but if you figure out anything else that would make it seem like SBC please post back. I know I sound like a little girl whining about using SBC but I would rather not run the risk even if it hasn't been proven. My guess would be if this had SBC in the newest it would be included in the title.
Can anyone confirm 4G works with this kernel? I will download tonight when I get home.... more curious than anything.
Cheers!
4g scans fine I'm not in a 4g area though so I can't connect

on the charger now, at 87%. will keep you posted
transfer speeds to sd card still slow
has slow charging bug too
Top notch kernel. The only one that will reconnect 4g automatically when entering and leaving a non 4g phone
Thanks for all the quick feedback. This kernel has been out for the incredible for a while and since I have an Evo too, I decided to bring it over (finally).
To answer some of the questions:
-No, this kernel does not have the SBC mod. In my experience, it did not work right on the Inc (as in, at all), and I am not really keen on the potential downsides, so I don't bother with it. If there is sufficient demand, I would consider changing my mind.
-Yes, the kernel is based on the cm-kernel. The stock cm-kernel that ships with CM7 uses the CFS (not BFS). The Evo version (unlike the Inc version) does use BFQ (not the same as BFS).
-No, I do not have a fast charge fix/tweak. If someone could point me in the direction of that code, I would be happy to add it in.
-4G - I haven't tested, but there is 4G near my office, so I will tomorrow. There is no reason it should not work though since it is up to date with the CM7 changes.
Also, multi-touch information in the OP is primarily geared toward the Incredible. The Evo releases should always have the standard 3/5 options, regardless of recovery version. For the Incredible, it gets more complicated - some screens support 10, others 3, and different versions of CWM recovery will and will not support any beyond 2. So, for Evo users, disregard that in the changelog.
Nice to have even more kernel options. I appreciate the Evo 4g support.
I don't think anyone has a solution for the slow SD card transfers while mounted. ADB push/pull seems to be faster than mounting and transferring.
Cheers, and thanks!
i would try if it had sbc
Wow
Man Cay you're just out there killing it! Another repo to fork. I'm gonna have to see what goodies I can cherrypick for my Xoom kernel still in the works. Great work bro!

Best Stable ROM?

Whats the most stable and fastest stock rom available for the G2x that I Can put on the phone? And does SuperOneclick root work for this phone? and ROM Manager function?
What about ROM toolbox, does it function?

You're asking too much. I'll answer appropriately.
Most stable stock ROM?
Probably xboarder56's Tweaked OTA 2.3.3 1.2.2 ROM or faux123's EaglesBlood 2.3.3 on a stock kernel. faux123's stock kernel is way too buggy.
If you want my opinion though, I believe at this point the CM7 nightlies are very stable and have no problem using them as a daily driver.
Fastest ROM?
That's relative to OCing and tweaks. No "real" answer to that.
If you're on 2.3.3. already, SuperOneClick will not work. You'll need to install the CWM recovery and flash a rooted ROM.
ROM Toolbox works fine.
I've seen the same answer to this question time and time again - Find out for yourself what the "best" rom is.
I tried almost all of them, with almost every available kernel, and I decided Weapon G2x with faux's oc/uv kernel is the best combo FOR ME.
This does not, in any way, infer that it will be the best one for you. Do your research, and find out for yourself.
Oh jeez I thought this was the Q&A section on a forums, where you can post threads to ask questions... I didn't know it was the "do a search" replies section. Seriously don't bother posting at all if you only got "do a search" response, thank you very much.
Dude you really got to try a couple. Its the only way. I have tried a lot of them but now I use cm latest stable. Its stable and fast.
You can try new kernals but really the speed isn't that great to notice maybe in benchmarks but that's it!
For true stable and fully functional and pretty fast I would say x's tweaked ota version. It will use your internal SD card by default and everything works.
sent from my anti IPhone device
The real answer is the rom from LG is stock. Any others modified or tweaked are not STOCK.

Maybe you just need to learn how to read. I didn't see anybody tell you to do a search.
I did see some people share their experience in an area you had a question about, that doesn't have a pat answer. "Best" is subjective. I told you what is best for me. Some other users told you what's best for them. We can't tell you what's best for you. You need to find that out for yourself.
If you want lean, fast and stable my two new roms are an excellent choice.

I've tried a bunch. As battery life is important to me, I think EaglesBlood is the best. Great battery life and minimal issues. The major issue is loss of data when switching wifi off. A reboot fixes that though. This happens to me so rarely that I dont mind it too much. Anyone have any ides on hhow to improve battery life with MIUI?
If you would understand what you are reading, you would see that I wanted to do a POSITIVE REVIEW on his roms. I am an aspiring writer looking for good stories. Yes, I did swoop in, that's why I like the man. He's not afraid to help and self promote at the same time. So, jboxer, if you read this I'm sorry if I came across disrespectful, it was not my intention. It sucks there are so many people willing to start bs and few to help. We were all noobs at one point, I never forgot that.
Lastly, if you really know how to read, I write for ACS. I have never heard of asc neither. To answer the original question and get back on subject, I run Eaglesblood 2.4 with Dragon kernel 1.5.2. If this forum would let me upload pics, I'd post my antutu benchmark of 6797, JUST in case someone wants to call me out on my signature.

How can we overclock the CPU?

The atrix I has been able to get overclocked safely to 1.4 Ghz, I just bought setcpu from the android market and I am rooted. On the interface it only lets me set 1000mhz Max and 300mhz min. I would like to set it to 1.4 for experimental purposes and 1.2 set for boot. Thanks.

You're not going to be able to OC until we have a custom ROM. Wish it was just as easy as you stated
Custom rom and kernel. And suprising this forum has been dead. I wish I knew how to port and cook roms.

It'll get there. When we have ICS, overclocking and underclocking will be great. With both cores being used fully, we could spend a lot more time underclocked which would lend itself for killer battery life.
We can't OC/UV, make Custom Kernel or Cook Custom Rom's until we get the bootloader unlocked on this device. Until then we at least have root which makes freezing blootware etc doable but in the current situation that is about all the good you are going to get for now until there is an actual bootloader unlock. If Motorola is smart they will unlock the bootloader by default with ICS release but that remains to be seen.
Antutu bench. 5049. This score will skyrocket once ics and o'c with undervolt!

Ditto would love be be able to see the benchmarks
Naturally this just shows as reference. Phone does perform well though. A lot better than the Infuse I had-it got 3847 for a high score overclocked to 1.6, ROM and kernel so.

you don't need the bootloader unlocked for custom roms...
wish people would stop saying this.
many devices have custom roms with locked bootloaders, you need a hijacked boot file. i started the project in the development section, but, no one seemed to want to get involved. doomlord is even willing to finish it for the atrix 2 guys once a factory image is available. but, no other devs believe this is possible, when it totally is.
so, atrix 2 users will have to wait until someone could magically crack the bootloader (which will take forever plus 2-3 more months) to have anything cool for the atrix 2. when in reality, it could have already happened, but no one seems to want to actually develop for the atrix 2. just continue talking about cracking the bootloader (then what? lol).
as far as overclocking, you have to have the frequencies written into a custom kernel, which, atrix 2 developers also believe the bootloader needs to be unlocked, which again, is untrue. a kernel can be sideloaded at boot. but again, no developer wants to look into it, because they are for some ungodly reason convinced the bootloader has to be unlocked for them to do anything.
Your forgetting one very important thing Svtfmook. To have development, we have to have developers. We have about 3 that I know if that are that are capable of doing anything and out of the 3 I'm thinking of NONE are recognized developers. You, Jimmy273 and Jimbridgeman. We had one with Pirateghost but he left. I pm'd Nitroglycerin33 to help with our bootstrap and Daywalker04 to help us find a FXZ which he is still working on. I wish I could help more but I don't know jack **** about most of this stuff. I'm willing to help and we need to get everyone that we can to help.
I have pm'd several developers from the OG ATRIX but some just aren't interested. But I'm not giving up. We will get some development here one way or another.
BTW I'm still looking forward to your work here and thank you for what you have done so far.
JRW 28 & svtfmook , I'm not a developer but I am willing to help out in any way I can.
Please let me know what I can do.... If I need to start learning how to develop I will even do that.

Yes that is 100% true I am not a ROM developer nor do I have the want to do that... But I can an will do android and kernel development and hacking.... I have been part of Linux kernel dev since the 0.87 kernel, so that is where my strengths are.... I have already been working on an overclocked / more stable kernel for this phone from the source released for the Bionic and the RAZR, which I was able to get a hold of.... If I told you guys who my current client is I might be let out of the contract, if you know what I mean (it is one of the big 2 wireless providers and it is not Verizon), since I am doing system hardware architecture for then now.

Yes we will get an overclocked kernel on the Atrix2.
As Svtfmook, and others have stated there are ways to sideload another kernel, and I have even another way to load a kernel, but with dire consequences at this point...
The point is that again as others have stated sit tight until we have all the pieces we need in place to get everyone what they want. We are all working within the confines that have been put in by the manufactures of these devices, and trying to find ways to get around those by thinking and running things outside the box so to speak.
P.S. They are running Custom ROMS on the Bionic without and unlocked bootloader. I know of the Th3ory ROM in particular, and there are others I am sure by now.

Jim, I appreciate everything you do for us and I will try to help and stay involved as much as I can. Like I stated earlier, I don't know jack about code or Linux or anything. What little I do is from searching and from people like you Jim. I look forward to reading everything you post because you can make a noob like be understand things . Although I still get lost in left field sometimes HaHa. We will get somewhere with this phone from the help of people like you Jim. Thank you for all the hard work you do! And thanks to everyone who is putting time into this phone!
Damn I hope that developement ramps up for this phone. I have the sgs2 skyrocket and Im getting a free atrix2 as well. The skyrocket is crazy fast.
(It wont let me post pics yet but I pull a 6314 on my sgs2sr, beating out the galaxy nexus)
This was at stock clock 1.5ghz with a stripped down stock rom. Antutu has trouble running the 1.83 oc I daily the skyrocket on. Once I get my atrix2 Ill hopefully be able to do some dev work on it
We'd love you if you did.

Weapon vs Bionix vs Cyanogen 7.1 Compare your experiences with this 3 roms :)

So I'm pretty new to this just started using custom roms yesterday only tried 2 so far.
now these 3 are the ones that have caught my attention. Currently I'm using bionix 1.4.1 seems good so far , I tried CM 7.1 but I had issues accessing my SD card storage it was either the internal data or the SD wouldn't let me access both.
now at first I just wanted something better than stock rom.. something more stable.. but now that I've gotten the hang of it and seen how easy it is to backup/restore/install a new rom is I kinda want something nice
Now I haven't tried the weapon yet because I see it was last updated 10/22/2011 now I don't know if its because developers simply went with another project orits just as stable as it can be.
I'm looking for opinions and advice on what are the best roms out there and what have you found the best working on your g2x and for what period of time.
With Weapon and Bionix, it all comes down to personal preference since they're both based of 2.3.3... But I prefer Bionic... CM is much faster and had wayyyy more features... I'd go with CM 7.2 RC 1.

So I just gave CM 7.2 another try... my home button ain't working haha trying to find if there is a setting to set it... its weird... if anyone knows anything please let me know this is a bit messed up. I get the vibration that I'm pressing it but it doesn't do anything.
ok nvm that a quick reboot fixed this.. now I am having the same issue I can't acces my sd card once I set it to use my internal storage any ideas?

So I noticed I can only access it by going through /mnt/emmc is there a way to make a shortcut for this so I don't have to manually input this to access this
Everything works great on Weapon, but it had some issues with JuoceDefender, so im using Hellfire now.
Hellfire is pretty solid build too, not that many bugs, I just recommend flashing Trinity if you're gonna use it though.

Well I'm currently trying CM 7.2 at firt boot there where aa few dumb bugs but after I rebooted everything is working great been using it for about 3 hours non stop downloading apps playing games browing just testing and from 100% im at 78% right now .
Only issue I have is that I have to manually enter the directory of my external SD to access it from the file manager it can be used by all aplications though its odd so its a silly thing I can handle
scoring 2100-2400 on quadrant result varies for some reason every time I run it but for now I'm pleased with the CM 7.2 RC1 I might backup this one and check that hellfire one.

Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 is based of CM 7.2.0 RC1,.... and it rocks...
I always liked stock CM the best, because i was always about features and speed, not to much the looks. but hellfire is aw some!
some people try to call hell a baker, or just a themer.. but its not true..
sure he maby he started out that way. but he is fare beyond that now he is making very stable Rom's that look good! he is not taking eaglesblood Roms and making them prettier anymore, he is making his own Roms based off CM source (Phoenix) or directly from google source AOSP( hellfire sandwich 1.5)
so he is now in a class with the other developers that are making and baking their Rom's off other sources just like the other developers, any one that says otherwise obviously doesn't know the whole story.
any way CM is solid, to begin with,
and hell gave it more flavor!
hellfire rocks!

you could be right... i thought the new 1.5 was based of AOSP, but maybe not, or maybe he cherry picked a couple things in there.
i might be getting it confused with the new build for eglsbld, which is deff AOSP..
but aether way its still a solid rom!!!
im still rocking Phoenix 2.1 until Hf's gets more stable.. but from what i can tell its still pretty stable as it is, but im going to wait for another release or two..

Yeah I play with the ics builds until the bugs annoy me enough to send me back to gingerbread.
Its nice having all these options with all the activity in them. Constantly getting new ROMs to flash.
for sure
Well I'm about to install Hellfire phoenix to see how it is since it's based of cm 7.2 wich I'm liking its stability.
if there are any issues with hellfire that have dumb quickfixes or any advice on it let me know
I'm been reading about faux and stuff about kernels are these installed with the rom? or how does all of this work?
I do have stock backup in case something goes wrong with the phone I can return it to warranty.
But yeah I'm a total noob I'm here to learn currently waiting the 10 minutes for the hellfire phoenix.
So far so good I'm loving this Hellfire phoenix no issues with it yet and quadrant scoring 2700 CM7.2 didn't get past 2200 I like the looks on this a lot more hopefully its as stable as CM 7.2 only time will tell but definitively if it is it's a keeper.
Can someone confirm for me if wifi calling really does save battery?
I think it does personally, also I think the kernel you're on is the faux 123 DS driver which gives you weird battery readings but better battery by 2 hours in most cases...

kernel is 2.6.32.56-cm7-faux123-049
I don't really care what I use as long as it doesn't damage my hardware of affect stability. and if better battery that would be nice
phone has been on battery I started with it 100% for 1 hour 7 minutes and it reads 95% battery I've been using it sort of frequently testing different things like camera, video playback, youtube setting how I want it downloading apps, music stuff like that nothing hard on it. but if it's reading it correctly... geez thats insanely good.
And Quadrant scored 2700... lol I was reading some kernels overclock the cpu I'm guessing this one does that? or its just that good? I have no clue I checked and it said 1017mhz so 1ghz witch is stock but I don't know if this throttles down or something like that.. again I'm not experienced at this.

Custom ROMS

I really do appreciate all the hard work DEVS put into building ROMS. But I really get frustrated with very buggy ROMS or ROMS not stable for daily use being released WITHOUT IT BEING KNOWN. I mean forgive me if I am wrong but how can someone build a stock ROM and make it run worse than stock? I'm not trying to criticize negatively, but am I alone on this? I think everything about a ROM should be posted on the OP. Not just some stuff but everything like "Known issues" "What doesnt work" and "bugs" should be the first thing we see instead having to look for it and being linked to other sites and what not. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really depend on ROMS and would start to DEV myself but find myself too busy providing for my family. I donate when I can and appreciate all the work but maybe there should be a category for only "Stable ROMS" and "Daily Drivers"
in my opinion except Lg devides(Because still I have a Lg), usually stock rom better than costum roms... Almost all costum roms have some problem

The ROM is incredibly fast, I get great battery, and bug free for me!
Synergy 1.3 in my opinion works the best on my phone. No problems with battery,gps,kernels or even theming.

So you try to prove you aren't bad-mouthing by making a negative comment about me??
Furthermore, feedback is specific and constructive. Bringing up issues from old builds that are no longer relevant helps no one and leads to a false impression of how the ROM is TODAY.
A sample of what you have said:

This may or may not be true but again, not at all helpful for anyone.
Again, this is a development forum. Things are sometimes broken, half-finished, and often WIP. If you don't like what the devs release, then don't flash it. Your other option is to wait until a dev releases a milestone or stable release. It's really that simple.
Some of these devs are amazing and put out some truly awesome work, however these guys are doing it mostly as a hobby or maybe for donations...but I'll bet they all must work a fulltime job.
The factory roms have probably been dissected by over a dozen or more Sammy peeps before even getting to Red for their further adjustments. Therefore it seems reasonable that the stock roms would be more stable and less buggy. That's common sense!
The custom roms allow user to get rid of unneeded bloat as well as adding in hacks and such. Not to mention almost unlimited theming possibilities.
Every dev inserts a disclaimer in their thread for a reason...YOU INSTALL THEIR ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK! So live with it...or live with stock.

I really do appreciate all the hard work DEVS put into building ROMS. But I really get frustrated with very buggy ROMS or ROMS not stable for daily use being released WITHOUT IT BEING KNOWN. I mean forgive me if I am wrong but how can someone build a stock ROM and make it run worse than stock? I'm not trying to criticize negatively, but am I alone on this? I think everything about a ROM should be posted on the OP. Not just some stuff but everything like "Known issues" "What doesnt work" and "bugs" should be the first thing we see instead having to look for it and being linked to other sites and what not. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really depend on ROMS and would start to DEV myself but find myself too busy providing for my family. I donate when I can and appreciate all the work but maybe there should be a category for only "Stable ROMS" and "Daily Drivers"

I've had multiple rooted phones. I know how to recover possible bricks. I don't ***** about small issues that ARE in fact known and stated. If you need your phone working 100%, then why run custom software that's experimental? I'm amazed YOU haven't bricked yet you negative Nancy.
PS if its not stated in the op, then read the ******* thread and stop being lazy as hell and expecting these guys to do everything for you.....:banghead:

So you try to prove you aren't bad-mouthing by making a negative comment about me??
Furthermore, feedback is specific and constructive. Bringing up issues from old builds that are no longer relevant helps no one and leads to a false impression of how the ROM is TODAY.
A sample of what you have said:
Of course, those issues don't exist anymore (or ever for some of them except for you apparently).
Some other wonderful gems of wisdom from this thread:
Well that was helpful.
This may or may not be true but again, not at all helpful for anyone.
Again, this is a development forum. Things are sometimes broken, half-finished, and often WIP. If you don't like what the devs release, then don't flash it. Your other option is to wait until a dev releases a milestone or stable release. It's really that simple.

You nailed it. Addict was the only person having issues with Synergy rom and whined and complained from the start that it was the roms fault. Funny that no one else had the issues that he was having. He obviously dorked something up/restored system data from an old build/installed a bad app/never checked md5s or something of that nature.
Then he goes and makes a thread about buggy roms when we all know exactly what he is referring to and we all know it was his own doing.
For everyone's information, Synergy is an awesome rom and has been since it was released. I have had zero issues outside of what I thought was a gps issue but that was my own mess up. I think a few had a different gps issue and that was it and that has since been solved.
Stop spreading crap info addict. You jacked your system up somehow and it had nothing to do with Synergy rom.
Edit: like others said if you want a "perfect" rom then stick with stock. I just don't understand what your complaint is about. It's not like stock doesn't work and someone is forcing you to flash roms every night.

Seems the OP got his answer and to prevent further flaming let's just close this.
To the OP, Devs take time away from their family and providing for them to make ROMs out of sheer enjoyment.
They make them for themselves and share them.
It is impossible to find every bug before the ROM is released. Even Samsung can''t do that.
It also takes a lot of time to support a ROM, updating the thread everytime a real bug is found, not just someone who can't flash or mixed in a bad app or data.
You really should try to make your own ROM, release it and support it before making a crappy thread like this.
If you depend on your phone then you should definitely stick to stock and pray there are not bugs unreported there.
Thank you for your cooperation
