Weapon vs Bionix vs Cyanogen 7.1 Compare your experiences with this 3 roms :) - T-Mobile LG G2x

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.

I agree the 7.2 is blazing fast but I had issues with the gps I could not get it working

I just saw the Hellfire phoenix according to them its based on CM 7 can I expect it to be as good or any better?

Eh, it just has some extra tweaks and theming done to it... I prefer an untouched CM7 experience.

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.

if the question is "the most stable" the answer could be the stock rom... but if you want the fastest or the most smooth or the best themed, then answer could be Miui, SuperAosp or Cyanogen ( in my opinion, of course...)
The man asked for a stable ROM, not lol ones like MIUI which brings a new bug every week and not CM7 nightlies which are rebooting once at 2 hours.
@stevo the most stable ROMs you will find will be inifinity or oxygen, superaosp is good as well but those themes make it look meh...
CM7 reboots...
infin1ty or Oxygen. HTCClay if you want a CM based ROM.

I have been running MIUI for more than a month and, with the only exception of the Them Manager which had issues in 1.5.27, everything seems to work flawlessly: never experienced a single reboot!

Exactly what I was going to say nearly word for word.
And yes, this is in the wrong section OP
Based on my limited experience, I don't feel the AOSP-based ROMs and kernels are as stable as stock--those random reboots keep happening on my Tmo NS no matter what I do.
The only other ROM that didn't make my fingernails sore from doing battery pulls is MoDaCo, but it hasn't been updated since March.

Have you tried the ones I mentioned? Oxygen or infinity? They are stock ROMs with extra features. I am using oxygen since 3 days and I haven't had a single reboot so far, even overclocked at 1.4GHz and using proton's suggested voltages. Adam's oxygen ROM is the definition of stability my friend.
Zuluzulu has been really stable for me, infini1y to.

MIUI is a wonderful ROM. It has a unique UI and is like a breath of fresh air. It is also rock stable. It does have a slight (very slight) lag for me compared to Oxygen or Infin1ty or SuperCM7. That little issue combined with the fact that in the texting app when you enter a name you just get a list of numbers without differentiating Home from Work from Mobile makes it just a tiny bit short of ready for me to use as a daily.
I'll place a vote for Oxygen; haven't flashed anything else since I installed it a few days back. No reboots or problems of any sort, using Netarchy 1.3.5 bfs universal.

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.

NS4G: Who has reverted from an ICS ROM back to GB?

Just curious: who here has tried several different ICS ROM/Kernel combos and gone back to GB?
I've tried just about every ICS ROM out there, with a substantial amount of the Kernels, but it's the little things that are starting to bug me, such as my phone freezing up overnight and making me miss my alarm in the morning.
I will never revert to gb. I've been using ics roms since the sdk builds came out and I think the OS has come a long way since then.
Lately, my phone has been running flawlessly with AOKP Milestone 2 4.0.3 with Steve Garon's kernel. Performance has actually exceeded that of any gb aosp rom I've used. Super-smooth, quick, and efficient, zero lag and my OEM battery lasts more than 30hrs.

--------------------
I too have been on ICS since the SDK dropped, and I really love it. However, I do understand your frustration. I run into bugs and stutters here and there on pretty much every ROM I've tried.
I did revert back to GB (Oxygen 2.3) for a couple days when I was getting annoyed with a few persistent bugs, but swiftly changed back in favor of ICS beauty.
GB seems far more responsive in a lot of places, which i envy. But these ROMs are all still in their early stages and are only going to get better. The official NS4G update hasn't even been released yet.

This. I too revert back to cm7 when I run into a bug or I get fed up with the mini stutters here and there. But once I'm back on cm7, I find myself downloading and flashing new builds of ics. Its beautiful and for the first time it feels like I'm using a new, awesome and complete OS. Gingerbread looks so plain and tacky to me now. Even with themes lol.

I'm never going back to gingerbread, ICS is just so stunning, it contains all these high quality animations and graphics. I think you just haven't tried the right rom. Try AOSP+ by android user and flash Eugenes ICUP kernel and tell me what you think. it will sure drop you jaw cuz its so fast.
Why would anyone revert back to an older version of a software is beyond me. ICS is young compared to GB so of course bugs exist, bit there aren't any bugs that make the phone or any feature unusable

I can completely understand if someone needs rock solid functionality or compatibility with older apps. Luckily, my phone is not critical to my life or job, so I can afford to experiment and run bleeding edge software.
Someone who relies on their phone for work or safety is justified for running a proven, stable os. ICS is improving rapidly, but it is good enough for me and many others as-is.
Me. ICS is just too slow.

Have you tried AOKP or vhgomez's 2.5.1 with a Eugene icup or Steve Garon kernel? My phone is smooth and quick with either combination. In fact, scrolling, browsing, and switching apps using the Recent Apps feature feels much better than with aosp or NSCollab 2.3.7
I haven't tried those two in particular, no. But unless they're a massive leap forward from AOSP there's no chance at all. ICS seems to occupy more RAM as well.

That's a good point. I have yet to find out how these people post such ridiculous battery times with ICS. I don't recall "Android OS" ever eating up so much of my battery on GB.
I went back to GB but came back to ICS, I love ICS but went back because of random reboots and mainly battery life. Now I am on AOSP+ 2.3 with speedy 5 kernal and i found out that after i turned Skype off,that battery life is great, so i think some of the problems are related to software compatibility issues that shouldn't take that much of time to be solved. In general, i think ICS is smoother specially when it comes to the built in browser, plus the native support for my native language ( I liked this sentence ) . Hope Google will solve all the issues with the next update.

Android OS battery consumption is just a bug and does not accurately reflect actual power usage, per Google engineer Dianne Hackborn. Ram usage is just fine as well as ics manages memory very well. I typically have only 50mb of free ram, but experience zero lag or slowdowns.
As far as battery life, I NEVER reached 30hrs with a gb rom, but I exceed that with 4+ hrs of screen on time with Steve Garon's kernel:

Agreed with the above. ICS is Android in its best flavour so far. The UI elements are so much more polished and I just love the little touches. Its also faster than gingerbread and honeycomb ever were. And they weren't exactly slow to begin with.
I've had no stability issues so far after just over a month I'm happy to report.

I had problems too, I went with CM9 patch 1 or whatever and didn't uses a kernel and this is working great for me. When things get stable I'll use adifferent kernel

I don't have the option to run the stock ROM, because there is not yet one for the NS4G. However, this is what I am most eager to try, so I hope it comes available soon.

[Q] stable jellybean

is there such a thing out for the ATT skyrocket yet? On CM 9 stable right now and I am depending on my phone for daily use and task but its killing me that I'm not on the jellybean train yet. Is there a stable jellybean ROM out there yet? or at least close to it which I could use daily for now? Thank you.
the best thing to d would be to test yourself because everyone has a opinion doesnt mean youll like test and find out
and to answer your question personally i havent found one that meets stability for my daily driver.. evem though there will be one soon

I've been running R4INS AOKP JB builds for a while and they're stable for the most part. Something to keep in mind about Jelly Bean vs ICS is that ICS has been officially released for the SR, JB has not, therefore JB will never be 100% stable IMO. My advice: give AOKP a shot for a day or two, or even CM10, and see if what YOU need to work works.
R4INS AOKP build can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34092-aokp-unofficial-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-oct-2-jb-build-4/
The roms are STABLE, but they're still works in progress. You need more patience with the JB Roms because they're working off of more generic code that needs to be customized to work with the Skyrocket. The ICS Roms are specific to the Skyrocket (with a few exceptions) so they are much more refined. I tried a few JB roms because my wife has a Galaxy Nexus and I love how smooth it is, but I keep going back to ICS roms because at the moment they are more refined. If you require more stable roms than what is out there then just wait. The Skyrocket is slated to get a JB update, and once it does and the talented developers here get their hands on it, it'll be worth the wait.

Me too. Still some jank, but overall pretty good builds. Stability is pretty subjective when it comes to basically alpha ROMs.
Its working quite well. No issues to report and if there are they seem to be fixed pretty quickly.

I've found the unofficial liquid smooth RC's to be quite stable, besides the occasional screen flicker. RC3 is the latest and I've only been running it for a day, so I cant vouch for it yet, but the screen flicker seems to have been reduced.
Since several people seem interested in turning this into a "best ROM" thread, I'll just drop this on you, OP:
There is NO stable JB ROM for the Skyrocket, period. Many of the JB ROMs out there are close, some very close, but none of them are 100% stable at this point, and none will be until we get an official leak.
There is no stable ROM for JB, you can't make it happen without official source code. Also, as long as people are tinkering, it won't be stable.

Battery life, etc
Yeah I would agree with everyone here, there is no stable ROM, I was running paranoid for a week or so, it ran good but I found myself plugging in my phone all the time. Following the threads closely you will see everyone has different problems with each ROM. Some more then others. I found it stable enough for daily use but as a developer I am probably more tolerable to quirks than most.
i found that the poor battery life seems to be due to the phone never entering deep sleep mode, which is somehow triggered when charging your phone. if i reboot my phone after recharging it, the battery lasts nearly as long as on ICS.
use CPU spy to check if your phone is entering deepsleep mode.
Cm10 just release their nightlies build the other day. I'm running it now without anything wrong. Just sluggish at time and the screen off animation works when it wants to but other than that its solid. Give it a shot

Project butter
Are any of the JB roms out there for the skyrocket... uh... doing project butter? Have it implemented? I'm most curious about that feature.
A quick google search failed to get me anything relevant to my question.

Any ROM in the development section that has 4.1.1, JB, CM10, AOKP JB... actually I see like 6-8 different ROMs that are compiled from a JB source, one of the main features of jelly bean is project butter and its just giving the UI a fast transition and if you played with CM10/AOKP JB for a few days then go back to CM9 you will notice the speed difference. Project butter just makes everything snappier and quick to response which is most likely in every JB rom.

[Q] Move to 4.2.2=> Performance?

On my Galaxy S III, I upgraded to 4.2.2, and realized much greater performance, and battery life.
I am quite tired of the quite slow performance on this TF101, and am curious if I will notice much better performance if I go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs for this.
At the moment, I am on Revolution 3.6.
It's a shame that the forum doesn't have a search function where you could look at other people's results when they've moved to a 4.2.2 ROM.

Now, don't you feel so much better, now that you were able to once again pound your chest and complain about someone possibly not searching. Conagrats to you.
I've read quite a few posts (I'll admit not the whole thread) in a couple 422 threads, and most of what there is people asking qustions about isssues they have etc.
You couuld have probably spent fewer words actually helping someone. I suppose you expect that someone with my post count does nothing but ask dumb questions and never searches.

The other guy didn't mean for you to MANUALLY search... but rather, use the search tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=tf101 4.2.2 faster
Returns a forum topic that discusses this very thing.
It's not like people are unfamiliar with search engines these days... so if you see people surprised/frustrated that they're not used more often, that would explain the first response to your original post.
At any rate, I personally use KatKiss (build 200) having started with EOS back in build 90 or so... and it's meant I've sadly had to hold off on buying a replacement to my TF101 because it performs nearly as well as newer hardware...

I'm sure that is the case. But making smart, sarcastic remarks to people is of no help to anyone. I too find posts that are easily found with search. But I don't wise off. I either ignore it altogether with no answer, or answer it, and then suggest searches in a friencly way,as you did. Much more community friendly, as I find you are, and appreciation is a result instead of anger.
Actually, I find that Google searches, outside of the XDA search, are much better.

I looked at your search. It returned much of what I had looked at, many of which compare various 4.2.2 ROMS. I am interested in knowing if 422 really is appreciably faster than stock. Or, if the tablet is just too low powered, and should be looking for new hardware.

I too am using KatKiss 220 just recently. Believe me, once you're running it you'll be surprised on what you're missing compared to stock. You'd usually think it would be underpowered by getting 4.2.2 but the devs made a great job in tailoring these custom ROMS to the TF101. On KatKiss 220, everything felt much smoother, speakers are louder, and you get ton's of added customizations and boost options

Hi! Did you mange to install 4.2.2? How's the performance?
Even I am on ARHD 3.6 and want to move to 4.2.2 ROM.
I've tried both CM No-Name nightlies and Team EOS 4 ROMs but switched back to ARHD ROM primarily because the performance wasn't 'butter' smooth and the sound was very low compared to ICS ROMs..
There is a KAT App for fixing the sound, and it works quite well too; but I faced this nagging problem after using that KAT App to increase the sound that whenever I was trying to decrease the sound, it was automatically switching back to full sound.
Would like to know your experience with this ROM? Is this ROM is any better? And whether the sound is as good as.. or comparable to what it is on ICS ROMs.

I installed it last night. Have not had much time to play with it. But initial observation is that it appears to be much faster. After the initial test (only launching Chrome and a small bit of browsing), I upped the CPU Max to 1200. Haven't had any time since.
But, I'm thinking it was worth the effort.
What about the sound?

Using KAT Android toolbox to boost the volume it's plenty loud enough for me (but I'm getting old...)
Now up to KatKiss 223 - feels lightning fast even without overclocking
Moved to KatKiss few days ago and its a HUGE difference from stock ROM, even moving from moded 4.0.3 is a big difference.
