GB2x
Welcome to my latest creation, eViL's GB2x. It is a fully functional, Gingerbread ROM based on the latest G2x leak.
Features
Stock Unthemed Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GRI40) (V21e.41fdc8a2 - current)
All device hardware should be fully functional, including wifi, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, etc.
Stock GB Rooted Kernel 2.6.32.9 (with Ramdisk optimizations for sdcard read/writes)
Bloatware and unnecessary applications removed. (wifi calling, swype & qik remain)
Market-sourced applications (Gmail, Maps, Voice, Music, etc) automatically installed on first boot into /data/app for easy removal.
Included 3rd party apps (Touch key lights, LG 2x/Black notifications, modded 2x reboot, TI backup, Facebook, Twitter & Flashlight + LED)
Deodexed and zipaligned.
Stock G2x boot animation & modded off animation
Fixed systemui pngs, alternate clock widget, aosp gps.conf, media_profile refinements
Installation
You must be perm rooted with nvflash Clockwork Recovery installed.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
Apply the zip via ClockWork Recovery. Boot into recovery via Clockwork, wipe ALL and apply zip.
Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 4-8 minutes. The lengthy first boot time is due to the dexopts process and installation of /data/apps. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker.
After initial install, allow a few minutes for all ROM-provided applications to appear. Some are installed post-boot using package manager.

Welcome brother! I thought you got a Sensation Nice to see you here!
My wife gets soooo PO'd with me that I am consistently on this but for good reasons I tell her, like this ROM which I am DL-ing as I write this and will give it a whirl and hopefully report no issues.
ROCKED a ROM of yours while on the MT4G and I'm pretty certain this will be a rocker for the G2X!!!
is it possible to pump faux's 0.2.3 kernel on this rom?
Does this rom support 720p&1080p recording and decent camera app? IF yes, I will be all over this.
YAY FOR eViL!!!! You rock'd out my MT4G, soooooo glad yo see you on the G2x! Downloading now!

It happened with mine too. It asked to to force shut down the torch application everytime I used it. My notification sound is also gone as well after that.
Yeeaaaaa Evil D, I still use your ROM on the mytouch 4g, thanks man. I'll be flashing this for sure!
wow!!!! very fast!!!! can u add the powecontrol on the notification?
Hi all since i got my Sensation this week i thought let's use my O2X and DHD mod on this device too.
cm7 based (2.3.7) nicely themed and seriously fast!
Indication of included apps:
- Launcher PRO
- AVG Security
- adfree
- sqlite vacuum cleaner (by killjacken), nice cleaning tool for /data
- Honeycomb themed
- really fast
- Replaced the default android keyboard with the dark one (evo3d) found in the pyramid rom (thanks!)
To change the cpu settings, use the cm settings and then performance.
v02: was just a test rom for me
-------------------------------------
v03: had issues with some tweaks in the build.prop file, removed the lines causing the issues
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v04:
------------
- added some usefull apps to data.
* antutu benchmark
* faster gps fix
* and some more i liked myself (yes this is my daily used rom, just sharing it here )
- Used cool tweaks from build.prop tweaks["/url]
- added a hdpi honycomb theme so you can enjoy all the honeybread icons (lp settings >> theme settings >> iconpack)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
V0.5
- created a seperate boot.img for full flashabillity
---------------------------------------------------
V0.6
- Replace the music app with the google music app
- tweaked the system a little bit more with what i found on the sensation topics
---------------------------------------------------
V0.7
- Added the soundfix from Modaco (no stereo while speakers connected)
---------------------------------------------------
V1.0
- Added BR Camera mod
- Updated all apps, added apps
- custom bash prompt (run terminal, set cusom command /system/xbin/bash)
- Dropped LP replaced it with GO launcher and addons
- alternative ics launcher
---------------------------------------------------
The Default Camera can be changed with the Miui Camera, cm7 camera won't really record 1080p or at least not with me.
The Miui Camere does, only the settings say it's 720p, but when you select 720p and play the movie with rockplayer or anyother player which can review the movie properties,
it will show you it's recorded in 1080p
However, the miui camera doesn't support the front cam yet.
Both Camera apps can be downloaded below, both flashable trough recovery. Just test what's working best for you, or flash the default cam back.
if you encounter bugs or anything else you want to mention, please feel free to do so.
Please backup and fully wipe before flashing this rom
- If you encounter a "bug" like your home button won't work, please reboot, this will fix it. This is a 1 time reboot, then the "bug" is gone!
Just try it and let me know, screens will come later when i have some time over
Screens:
Download: (mirrors thanks to moyo)
-----------------------
* [url="http://www.multiupload.com/K3SW7CY0JI"] Miui Camera
* Default Camera
* Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboard
- (flashable zip) will disable default keyboard. Just remove from /system/app and the black keyboard will be back. Filename to remove: LatinIME.apk

Yep read that thread yesterday
Just one thing I have found so far on this rom, the keyboard displays normally except for on the buttons where you would normally long press for a number only 1,2,5 and 9 show up on their respective keys.
I have a quick question. In ARHD stock browser, you know how the pinch to zoom is like super smooth (galaxy s ii, wp7 and iphone like) and the page gets rendered after you let go of the pinch. Is there any way to bring it to other ROMS like this one?

Great work! Although i don't think you can include AVG unless they have given you permission to include it in your Rom
Hi! Welcome to Sensation .As usual, now it is time that somebody asks , what is the point from another rom
I will give it try tonight, appreciate another Dev. for our phones!

Well the point.... Ehm this is not a Sense rom, lot's of mods on top of the cm7.1 build, so that's the point. No roms are exactly the same.
some prefere other themes and looks then others, apps, etc... This is why there should be multiple roms out here so there's one for everyone of us

Well it's a free app downloadable from the market, so i don't know why i couldn't use it
edditing a new version, build.prop tweaks are not all good. So i'll upload a new one when it's ready, for now use the first release.
EDIT: Fixed, the media tweaks were not all meant for this device, v04 on his way.
v0.1 which starts with me not at all. Full Wipe ext4.zip executed, Rom installed. Restart and then it is already hanging in the splash screen.
Probably because you formatted /boot too.

I would like to know as well I too was stuck at the splash screen from a clean install
just created a seperate boot.img, zipping, and uploading in a few minutes.
Just a quick question, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I noticed that all the ROM's with the exception of 1 all have the TW Camera app as the default camera program. I then saw that the new Eclipse ROM came out and it has the AOSP camera.
Is there a way to extract the AOSP camera app and install that into a different ROM? Not sure how the whole framework thing works. etc... thanks!
First, why would anyone want to use the AOSP Camera app? Not saying it doesn't get the job done, but compared to the stock TW Camera app, it's not very nice looking, and the last time I used it, it wasn't nearly as functional. That aside, you should just be able to replace the APK as I don't think there should be anything that will affect functionality missing, but I can't say that for certain as you may run into issues.
Isn't there a camera firmware apk? Or is this in all phones and it's just what the actual camera app uses to communicate with hardware?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Thanks Innuts. I was just curious. Maybe its just me but when I take pics in portrait mode the buttons don't rotate to portrait mode like AOSP. Also I noticed sometimes if you take a picture in portrait it doesn't rotate the image, so it looks sideways. I noticed this when taking a picture then sharing it to social website. I was just going to test both out for fun
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Wouldn't an AOSP camera allow for enhanced or modded Camera apks? I know we already have some slightly modded camera apks. One thing I think would be cool is some sort of adjustment to take shots at different exposure levels automatically.
Another thing that would just be insanely cool is the ability to pull out the RAW data. Is this possible with AOSP camera, or would a camera firmware rewrite be necessary? I would be completely blown away with RAW.
I personally like the tw camera, so I pulled the camera apk and camera firmware apk from tweakstock and put them into eclipse. while I was at it I also pulled the clockpackage apk, calculator apk and the calender apk from mnml and put in eclipse a well. As you can see I like the tw apps, but I love the speed of eclipse.Don't know what the difference is but the phone opens instantly on eclipse which is something I haven't been able to get any other ROM to do. So I think I will stay with eclipse with the tw apps for now until something better comes along. Sorry to hijack the thread, just wanted to put in my two cents.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Phone Speedster Rom
I just wanted to see who is interested in a rom I'm making. I'm a crack flasher, and this is my first attempt to build a rom and so far it coming along, but the hard part is still ahead.
Features
Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly 03-01-2013
Mzkrnl 0323GBnoDS
Removed a lot of apps, also replaced a lot, will make zip available to restore.
Gapps baked in + Gmail

Updated 3.1.3 superuer apk, 3.1.1 binarys
Busybox 1.21.0-Stericson
Latest Playstore 4.0.26
Some jellybean & bururom sounds

Added Voodoo Sound, looking to build this into rom
Replaced Stock browser with Naked Browser(Lighter, faster, more features)
Ril Updated to 21y
To Do
Modify Default Settings(Still have to learn how to do this)
Test Experimental Mzkrnl 417
Check Busybox to ensure proper upgrade
Mem Tweaks
SD Speed Tweaks(Not sure these do anything, file transfers are still slow)
Zipalign, SQL Defrag & Fix Permissions on Boot
Ask for permission for some of this apps and software
Appropriate HDSPA/HUSPA settings for T-Mobile & G2x
Wireless-N Settings
Check 21y Ril update
Modify Wallpaper Apk with extra wallpapers
Goals
I like clean roms that are optimized, no theme, or themed extremely well that it looks stock, and lightweight because I don't use a lot of apps. I am building it so you do have options and can restore apps if you so choose. I like having latest updates and sometimes experimental builds. So If it doesn't work correctly, I'll try to fix it if it is something major or bothering me. Hopefully this rom will bring the life back into your G2x.
Input
Has anyone used the AGPS hack? Which settings do you find good? I am trying to test but I can never get a connection in Chicago.
Other Optimizations I should include?
What do you think about play music? Does the auto sync annoy you?
THAT would be great dont you think..???
That sounds pretty sweet man, keep us posted on progress
i believe it is a copyright issue to bake in Gapps.

Wonder if we can keep market... rest is just a quick install.
-- The noob says:
A new android has larger battery, larger display, more CPU cores, more memory, more storage, etc. resulting in identical battery life as your old phone... Go figure!
I saw it in different forums for other devices but not here on One S. Looking after it, I've found a version that is working on our devices and I've thought to put it here as well for others to enjoy.
Gallery version is 1.1.40012
Just to be sure... I don't take any credit for it, I just found it, tested if it's working and put the download link.
To install:
1. Download from below link and save it on your sdcard
2. Install using a file manager, I wasn't asked for root permisions and it was NOT installed in system/app (original camera/gallery app are preserved). A new Gallery and Camera apps will be shown
3. Enjoy
DOWNLOAD
What works and I've tested:
- take pictures on all res
- photo-sphere works
- panorama works (I've got though some garbled photos at the end)
- front camera works
- video recording works (both 720 and 1080)
- all settings work
Bugs: (I found only two by now)
- garbled photo for panorama's
- the small lower right circle/icon for popping up the settings is somehow cropped (part of it is shown little bit up) but this is related to the incorrect resizing of the app I believe.
Tested on MIUI V5 3.7.19 but I'm pretty sure it'll work on other ROMs as well
Working fine for me on rom stock, thank's
I had problems installing this app on paranoid.
The answer is easy :
If you have problems installing this you have to uninstall existing Galleryapp using Titanium Backup app first then install the APK.
Just in case someone wonders how's the quality of this camera, I've made some few tests and posted my findings HERE. (I was asked to compare this camera with MIUI's camera)
does the "burst" mode work?. Will it work on non-sense rom? Thanks.

It has very few options (maybe because it's not fully released???). I couldn't find a "burst mode". It doesn't have HDR as well.
It should work on non-sense ROMs since it's AOSP. I've tested on MIUI which is sense based but Daihogo said he tested it on Paranoid and that is a non-sense ROM.
Tested on CM10 HTC One S(s4), and no burst mode. Everything else works. Kind of "strange" set up, but could get used to it. The "no burst" is a deal breaker. Sadly, going back to sense rom. I hope that someone will "make" version with burst mode.
Been Using this for a while now and love it. the volume rocker works for taking snaps
Works great!
Too bad it doesn't place the pictures in the same map as the stock camera

The stock (sense) camera and AOSP camera always place the photos in different folders under DCIM. One places them in "camera" the other in "100media"
I saw someone else did an MD5 and this is the same camera from the SGS4 release a month or so ago. Still, it's an improvement if only for the fact that the stupid shutter button doesn't move when rotated anymore. I gladly will give up all the CM customizations for that alone.
