Newest Galnet MiUi port for G2x released

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.

Yep, exactly what they ^ said

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.

Which ICS ROM for my mother's Daily Driver?

Alright so my mother has the G2x. I decided to messed around with it the other day and discovered that the stock GB ROM is a train wreck. I mean it's slow, laggy, buggy and quite frankly I'm not sure it does this phone justice considering the specs on it. She agreed to let me upgrade her phone to ICS after seeing how good my MT4GS was with it. But I'm looking for the most stable version of this for her phone. She's not a big game player, and she really only uses the GPS, camera, email, and facebook. Plus a couple of cross-training apps which I'm sure will port over fine.
That being said, which ROM can you guys recommend to me? Should I keep the stock GB, root to a GB ROM (if so, which one is best suited for her needs), or should I make the leap to ICS (if so which rom)? Thanks in advance!

I have read some pretty good things about the AOKP Builds on other forums, not to mention having had some solid experiences myself with their stuff. Anything you found tricky or otherwise potentially annoying?
Thanks for the tip, regardless!

You need to keep in mind these things before getting an ICS rom. As of now, none of the ICS rom has proper video recording working. You can only record low resolution video with videocam illusion. Video playback on netflix also does not work. If you don't mind these things, ICS roms are pretty stable. IMO, AOKP and Owain's ICS ROMs are pretty good. If you want stable and fast GB roms, try hellfire phoenix 2.1. They are all in dev thread.

What criteria? There's no reason why GPS, Facebook, Camera and Email wouldn't be working on any ROM. Perhaps the best thing to do is head over to the development section and clicking on any rom; read the list of features and you'll know what works and what doesn't work. Pretty much any ROM that isn't experimental is stable.
Now if you want my opinion on it, I'd suggest you to go with Hellfire for both GB and ICS.

And ics is more borked then any other rom so I say don't use one of those

Given the quantity of ROMs, it'd be a lot easier to just get some opinions from a few people rather than scroll through 1,000 posts to find out which one is the most stable for her needs. The criteria stands, as I did not know that video recording didn't work. And considering that plenty of ROMs don't have stable MMS, wonky GPS, etc, they're relevant to ask.
I appreciate your opinion and input, thanks for it. But I didn't really need a lecture on how to look things up. If this thread causes you that much trouble, then just ignore it and I'm sure your day will be fine. Chances are good it won't affect you in any way. There are likely other people who have no problem giving their opinions on the topic.

Agreed. Not that I don't use ICS, and not that I don't have ICS on my wife's phone, but if I were to put a rom on someone's phone that I don't have 24hr access to for updates, etc., it would be GB.

Well that's just how it is sometimes. You gotta actually work to find the answer to something.
It's nice we have such generous members like mt3g, MWBehr, dw9906 and zechizen, however, who are more than willing to give their input.
P.S. There's a search button to keep you from having to scroll through 1000's of posts. Ridiculous how you don't know that video recording doesn't work on ICS since there's a new post every few hours talking about LG and Nvidia not giving out drivers for the G2x.

Ya especially, if you aren't around to help out if something does go wrong. And artisan (I think is his name) is right there are two main threads that are just a couple scrolls down in GA section and Q&A that address which roms are being ran and one that address most stable.
p.s. owains ICS with Harsh latest kernel is best IMO ;-)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

agree ^ i like fauxs kernel tho since you can overclock and under clock but for a daily driver and not caring aboout chaging the voltage harshs kernel would work just fine

Only reason I say harsh's kernel is cause I never lose wifi connection like I do on all others, well I haven't tried faux with owains latest but why fix what isn't broken.

No need to get feisty. And it seems like you already know some of the down falls of some of the ROMs. Really you should search though. But that is neither here nor there. I say you skip ICS for now. I'm sure a lot of them will cause some headaches for your mum. I say you go with HellfirePheonix 2.1 personally.

The current hacky state of ICS is not up to the task you are asking it to do here.

Liquid Desensed 36 Discussion Thread

I've been trying to follow the liquid densensed 36 thread over in android development but there is quite a bit of info there to digest. I am very grateful to jester for all the work he put into this rom so I don't want to write anything in the thread that could be construed as disrespectful to his work....so I decided to post this thread in general tbolt.
Could someone post what does NOT work in this rom?
If there is a fix for it could you post that too?
I realize most if not all flaws are due to the original leak having bugs so I'm not knocking anybody - just the opposite....but whatever the reason could you post the bugs here? That way users can make an informed choice about whether to flash. I know the prevailing sentiment is just nandroid then try it but some of us really like to know up front.
Thanks for participating....and triple thanks to jester for all his work!

Jesters version is the only one I could get to boot at all. All of the others fc my phone to death. I've ran it since he posted it and I haven't had any issues with it all. The worst thing about it is the battery life and the lag. Other than that its not to shabby.

Bluetooth doesn't work. It reboots the phone. I've also had problems with WiFi tethering. It's a very solid ROM though. But as you've said the problems from the original leak still exist. Mostly the poor battery life bothers people.
But I'm sure jester is working on this thing. Dude is a beast.

Ah. Bluetooth is sometimg I do need. That helps.
Thanks!

Bluetooth works with the .19 radio... I have no WiFi tethering and when you plug into the computer its a pita to get it to hook up as disk drive. Other then that it all works pretty darn well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Hi,
Just want to clear up some things.
I experienced the problem with bluetooth rebooting the phone and through testing if you install the .19 radio, then the rebooting stops. Since I did this no more reboots. Also I use the bluetooth and it does work correctly and pairs quickly also.
I will also mention that when I installed the new leak that came out a few days ago that it would cause random reboots but with the radio I mentioned no reboot at all.
As to the lag and battery life I also was surprised how bad each was until..... Yes there is a fix....
There is a script that you run and then reboot the phone and since then lag is reduced drastically and battery life is much better than before of course it's as good as you will get till we get custom kernels (shout out to imoseyon!).
I hope this helps you out if so hit thanks....
Thanks,
Bryan

IMO may not make a kernel for us. We will see when source drops for the kernel.

Bryan, let me say again at risk of repeating my op. I am VERY GRATEFUL to Jester and give him props galore for all the development he has been doing here. I don't think any developer has contributed as much to tbolt users for a long, long time.
This thread is merely meant to clarify what works, what doesn't work, and any potential fixes. His thread has grown so long and so many issues have been discussed it is hard to filter out the most critical info. I hope this thread helps with that.

There's actually an even more recent radio. Its here in the development section of the tbolt forms. I think the thread is called "ics combo radio." One radio was fixing Bluetooth but giving people wifi issues and another radio was fixing wifi but giving reboots with bt. This radio is the .19 cdma radio, along with the leaked ICS radio for lte. I'm on it now and it fixed my data issue. With every other radio I tried, I had to toggle off/on data whenever I switched from 3g to 4g. I also had a couple revolts here and there. Fingers crossed, but so far so good with the "combo radio."

This from is the best one based on the leak. I still get data drops. So maybe I'll try the combo radio. People have been saying that it fixes their data drops.

Vote for your favorite ROM!

Hello everybody!
So i'd like to check out what roms people use and why.
Me personally i'm practically stuck with stock RUXLF3 because of the GPS is only working with it. I'll look into that later.
I've switched out Browser and Email apps for AOSP ones because they're graphically more appealing and the GUIs are more effective.
But if it weren't for the GPS issue i would be on Embryo 6.
What roms do you run and what makes you choose the one you choose?

Mine is slimbean forever. I chose it because I was using orthus 5 and was having too many lockups and freezes. I stay on it for 1 (well 2, stability) reason only. I don't have to turn my data on and off to send or receive mms. Major turn on for me as its a pita to do that as I'm on lowest data plan I'm required to have (I would have no data plan if I could since I never use it).

How's that? Does it turn on & off data automatically for MMS? Sounds pretty effective, i have my data turned off most of the time too to save battery.

Ah that's ok because this isn't a best of thread, it's good for research purposes. You're not supposed to list all of your favourites, you're supposed to say what your daily driver is no matter if you like it or not and share with us the reason for it being your daily driver. So one rom per person that is.

gps shouldnt be an issue, sometimes it needs to relearn, just give it time when switching radios, flash it twice no cable plugged in, or are you talking about roms in general, so yup you should look into it
i guess we'll wait for the mod to decide if this is a "best rom" thread, now let me see, which rom should i pick?

It'll be interesting to see what the MODs decide.
To me it's a vote so the OP isn't asking anyone to tell him what to use. He's set this up in such a way that if people do vote it might be beneficial in the future. When people open "best" threads they could just be linked to this and the thread closed. Then those people can see what percentage of votes each ROM received. I'm by no means saying that whatever ROM that get's the most votes it the "best" for any individual but it's a good baseline for noobs.

I personally hope that mods don't close this; don't think of it as a best of thread, think of it as figuring out what the community happens to be running. I'm gonna need to pick a new ROM soon since the one I'm on is discontinued. It'd be nice to see what people have so far.

It would be perceived as a "best of" thread mostly due to the fact that it may cause people to compare and possibly become a debatable subject. But let the mods decide.

I agree in principle, but I just don't see this thread ending any other way than two morons fighting to the death over ROM A vs. ROM B.
I'm not planning on changing the ROM on my Rocket anytime soon; kinda like the one I've got. I've also settled into a daily driver on my Note II; been a very boring month or so in terms of flashing.

Duuude
Where is cm 9.1.
Now that is a ROM.
As TJ said this may end up badly
There is no objective best ROM test
People have preferences based on their usage (a gamer, for example, would want a snappy rom as opposed to me who wants battery life -which again is a function of your usage)

I got my best rom which I'm loving and is snappy with great battery life. But I'm not telling

FFS we all know this. OP, just change the title of the post to WHAT ROM ARE YOU CURRENTLY USING. Problem solved.

How's that? Does it turn on & off data automatically for MMS? Sounds pretty effective, i have my data turned off most of the time too to save battery.

Honestly I don't know what setting allows it, I just know it does. Put slim on my sons cappy because he was having a problem receiving mms with his data off and now he can leave data off but still send and receive mms. Same with my rocket. I have asked several separate places about what setting it is that allows this and have never gotten an answer.:what:

This is horrible no wonder devs leave xda. Best threads are nothing but crap.

They are all great ROMs, I vote for all them, so just pick the ROM that works for you and flash...Thread Closed and Thank You.

Very Disappointed in Cyaonogenmod

Been using Cyanogenmod for a week now. Very dissapointed in the fact that my bluetooth audio sounds like AM radio. Also I get extremely bad echo during calls. Tried CM10 and 10.1. Both have the bluetooh issues.
Sure its a little bit faster. But, I rooted and installed a custom rom in hopes to IMPROVE me phone experience and I got just to opposite.
I'm considering going back to the rooted stock rom but I can't seem to find the link to the original latest verizon rooted rom. I didn't make a backup. Can anybody help me locating it?
On another note, I'm willing to try another custom rom if someone can vouch for it and ensure that there are no major bugs like CM10.

Should've bought an iPhone o_o but really the developers spend there personal time making these roms not for money but for us and themselves so if you're "disappointed" in them then make your own or try others, read threads and find out bugs before you flash.

Don't use bluetooth so can really comment about it, however there are some great touchwiz roms in the Android Development section I stay away from the Original Android Development just because I have found too many issues.
As for some suggestions Synergy is pretty cutting edge though you may have to play with voltages if you install ziggy's kernal. Clean rom is another nice option. Hyperdrive and Delta have also run solid for me. Currently running Beans 12 and it is almost everything I can ask for, if a 5x6 launcher were included it would be perfection for me.
I would say to install twrp as your recovery, if you haven't done so, and install a rom and run it for a few days and see how it handles. Make a backup, twrp lets you rename them so you can easily restore to your favorite rom, and install something else for a few days. Also you may want to try different kernels as well, KT runs good for me but there are many more to choose from.
Finally just remember that each user runs different apps and has different needs and that while we all hqve the same phone minor variatikns n hardaware and just the way the rom flashes can have different effects such as bluetooth audio interferance or poor battery life or app abc will not work for one person but another has none of tjese problems.
Good luck and just remember that the perfect rom is out there waiting for you. You just need to flash like a madman until you find it.

Check out mastamoon's CM 10.1 rom. His latest 2-28 rom is near perfect. BT audio sounds great, signal handoff isn't as good as TW, but it's good enough as a daily driver. I've had little problems with it, to the point i don't even notice it. Try that and your mind will change.

A. If you have issues with a ROM either post in the ROMs thread or in the Q&A section. Not start a thread in General bashing a ROM developers spent countless hours on. Just a respect thing.
B. Go to original development look for yourself, see what has features you like.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.

I'm sorry you're getting echo in calls and problems with BT. Would probably be solvable if you had asked since echo has been fixed for a long time.

That's funny because i've been using AOSP for a few months now and its made my phone a thousand times better.

I'm running the same ROM and absolutely love it. The only thing that's missing is multiview. Other than that it's near perfect.

responses are laughable
I think its funny, this guy has a valid complaint about how CM 10 is making his Bluetooth sound bad, and weather it's true or not, members just bash the $hit out of him, lol.
To the OP, if you don't like the ROM or something is glitchy, I've done two things in the past when I've experienced this.
1. make a backup (I use my backup root), and then boot into recovery, wipe (cache, davlik, system, and Format), then reflash your ROM.. OR
2. Find a new ROM and try that out. Currently I'm running the latest CleanRom with Morphology 1.5, and Ac!d audio..I have no issues with sound or bluetooth.
I hope that helps man, good luck and remember. Keep Calm and Flash Roms.

There are at least two threads where a total noob can seek help to fix the two issues he has, and one more where he can read how to fix his issues. Perhaps there are better ways to address his concerns?

Plus, it's free. Beggars can't be choosers. Please don't condone his actions - he came across as very rude and ungrateful, whether intentional or not. You shouldn't complain when people give you free stuff. Period.

To the OP I say I hope you find a solution to your problem. Keep flashing and find what you need brother. To everyone else I am pretty new to this particular medium (xda forums) but looking at almost every topic I've seen I gather one very singular feeling. Please xda take away the "post new topic" option. Its pretty obvious that every single question that can possibly be asked has already been answered. So why ask any question. They are apparently evil and the world wide web has only limited space so lets please not clog it by asking a question twice *gasp*. There is a section for every device and build for developers only that by all means should be kept as streamlined and clutter free as possible but in general forum questions should not be so vehemently discouraged.

I am also disappointed in the CM rom's performance...but I think the blame (for my issues, at least) resides totally with Samsung.
The rom itself works great, but when you're in the middle of a town and everyone else in the restaurant has 4g and you've only got 1x (not even 3g)...well...that's an issue.
Wish they would release the friggin RIL so I could just stick with a 4.2 rom. Grrrr!

S3 Radio
I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. I recently had to return my phone to stock because my phone needed to be re provisioned to activate it again. This happens when you flash multiple roms apparently. I got my phone working and commenced to do everything to flash back to CM 10.1. I noticed I can make calls however, my 3g data will not come up. So, I have flashed back to stock and everything works fine. Anyone know of a tip that might resolve this issue. I was using the nightly from yesterday.

Me too, my only real issues with CM (or any non-TW ROM) stem from the fact that the radio interface has not been released by Samsung and therefore the reverse-engineered AOSP RIL will probably never be as good as stock. It's not limited to signal strength issues, you also can't take full advantage of the phone's World Phone capabilities with a non-Touchwiz ROM. Unfortunately for me, that's a deal-breaker, my phone needs to work as a phone first and foremost and if Touchwiz ROMs have a better and more functional radio, I have to stick with that.

I have been using the latest nightlies of Cm and they have been running great. phone works great except in some areas where I can't get a signal with TW roms either.

I had CM running on my Dinc2. Since getting the S3, I've been running CleanROM with mods. (when I was on CR5.6 I was using KindaCrap Mods and now that I'm on CR 6.0 I"m using Andy Bones' AOSP Theme, which gives it a lot of the feel of CM).
