whats the best combo

whats the best combo for rom and kernal for the g2x.
im about to install the eagleblood 2.3.3bg (since it has the stock camera) and was looking for a kernal so i could oc it. thanks for the help
also whats best 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5????

For the most part, rom choice is going to come down to personal preference. As for kernels, faux's is pretty popular. Personally, I'm running eagleblood 2.3.3 and stock kernel.

I am running Triggers 2.3.5 with Fauxs 0.3.5-sv OC to 1.4Ghz and it is awesome. No reboots or issues at all.

There is no kernel made for the ota (2.3.3) roms only 2.2.2 froyo, 2.3.5 cm, eb2.3.5 so basically any rom that is based off the new 2.3.3 ota will not have a oc kernel for it yet LG didn't release source, and best rom kernel combo is definitely cm, and fauxs latest or morfics it a toss up, but honestly the newest nightly runs so nice u wont need one and it has voodoo built in and boot up time is super quick, idk IMO oc kernels are not needed with this phone it is already sick quick I get 3100 quadrant with cm stock kernel, now if u want to save battery life grab a UV kernel

blondie or brunette?? LOL its all up to ur taste for roms and kernels! Im having a great time using the rom and kernel on my sig! But all depends on you and your phone... (some phones dont like oc/uv), the only way to know is to flash, flash flash and flash (watch out not to become a flashaholic...)

Any rooted 2.3.3 ROM, with the Stock Kernel, and LG Camera App.

You have to flash the kernel again, custom kernels don't carry over. Just reflash the kernel and you'll be fine.

Frustrating to install a kernel

Hello Xda-developers community!
I have been having consecutive problems with trying to flash a custom kernel onto my Lg G2x.
I can successfully flash any custom ROM with ease, though when I go to flash the kernel, it installs successfully, but upon reboot the device never loads.
I gave it a good 10 minutes to load, though just sits at a black screen.
I'm not sure if I am doing something rong or not.
One of my attempts was to flash the Trinity kernel with CM7 already on my G2x, though upon successful installation, during reboot I simply get about a 5-10 second android robot logo, and then the screen just sits at black not loading.
If anyone would mind helping me solve this problem, or perhaps tell me if I am doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it!

If it doesn't boot then the kernel is not compatible with your rom. If you are running CM7 nightlies only the kernel supplied with it is compatible.

I have the latest CM7 release for the g2x at the moment.
I tried the Trinity Kernel with Bionix 2 and CM7, so far the same result.
I saw a you tube video promoting someone who had the Bionix 2 ROM and Trinity Kernel with each other. I tried flashing them both, but it never booted.
Are there any roms compatible with CM7 at the moment?
Or is it only the Eagle's blood ROM that has kernel compatibilities for the g2x.

The only kernels compatible with CM7 nightlies are the kernels packaged with the update zip for that nightly. Flashing anything else is just a waste of time and you are going to keep frustrating yourself to no end.

When you say the latest cm 7 for the G2x do you mean the latest nightly or the latest stable release 7.1? If you have the 7.1 you should be able to use the trinity ELP but if you are using a nightly build then you can only use whatever came with that build as Jboxer said already.
Edit There are a few that you can use for 7.1 not just trinity ELP just look in the thread for each kernel and they say which ROMS they are compatible with. Also eaglesblood 2.4 is based of cm7 so if it workes on EB 2.4 then it will work on cm 7.1. Also when you flash a kernel make sure you clear the cache and dalvik cache. And wehen you boot up for the firsdt time after clearing the dalvik cache it could take 10 min to boot up mikne usually takes about 5 minutes but I have seen it take up to 10 so keep that in mind.

I solved the problem, thanks! Now I was looking around for roms and I found an miui rom for the g2x.
I like the ROM, so any idea what kernel would work with that?

Under developement, faux's kernels (based off cm7). 3 different types, cm7 stable, nightlies and a different version for nightlies. Miui works with one of his cm7 kernels. I believe it is 44s

Best Kernel with WeaponG2X ROM ?!

I can't seem to download Faux kernal nor Dragon, there files are missing? Is there any other kernels best stable with Weapon ROM?

Isn't Weapon a modified Stock ROM (2.3.3)?? You're only gonna be able to use Kernels for the stock ROMS. Faux is the only one I know of that has a kernel series for the Stock ROMS. Check out the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720

I've always used faux with stock ROMs.
I may be wrong, but I thought Trinity was for CM7 ROMs. I used it with the CM7 Nightly Build 135.1, worked great. But as for stock, I've always used the 2 faux kernels I've uploaded.
This is the latest faux GB kernel:
P999-GB-Kernel-014b2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-014b2-ext4
If you have any issues, which I haven't had any thus far and been on my current setup for almost two weeks, you can try this older version:
P999-GB-Kernel-013_r2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-013r2-ext4
I don't know your experience level with this stuff. You don't have to re-install the ROM when changing kernels. Just make sure you wipe/format "cache" and "dalvik cache". Let it boot up and don't do anything for ten minutes. Than reboot again and your good to go. This is how I have done it and I've rarely encountered any issues.
Let me know if this helps and I'll be around doing homework for my IT class, so feel free to post back or PM me directly.

Thanks! I'm going to try it right now. Have you used any other stock ROMs? If you did, which one would you prefer?

I've used dang near every single ROM available for our G2x.
Stock? It's a coin toss between BuROM and kwes's Rooted Stock. Personally I use BuROM as it is based off of kwes's ROM but a coulpe tweaks. The 2 I can remember off hand is the VM Heap Size is increased to 64MB and the SD read ahead size increased from 128KB to 2048KB. I think BuROM is just a hair faster than kwes's ROM.

kwes's Rooted Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602798
Both are 2.3.4.
I did use weapon, and I liked it. Can't remember why, but I switched back to 2.3.4 because there was something missing from Weapon's 2.3.3
What baseband are you on?

Does it say March 2011 in it? We need to make sure you have the right baseband for the ROM your using or if we need to apply the new_baseband.zip patch to it.
Wifi not working? Hmmm...try GETRil from the playstore. But you need to make sure the baseband issue is correct first.

Well I restore my system so i'm good now, I'm trying faux older version. So do you want me to tell you my whole baseband?

I tried the older version and everything works for.

If you have no clicks in your call audio when not using wifi calling, your good.
So what rom n kernel did you go with? My setup is in my signature.

What Rom/Kernel combination do you use?

Hi everyone,
there are already a few threads but not new.
so i want to learn your decisions about roms and kernels. I am using Eaglesblood 4.0.3 + trinity kernel right now, but i am not happy because it is not really stable. For example i cannot record 1080p !!! I want to use a stable rom and kernel. It has to be android 2.3.x or higher at least. By the way when I install harsh kernel my phone says your sd card and phone memory is damaged. I could not solve that problem.
Thank you

Stick with CM7 ROMS or Rooted Mod Stock ROMs.
My favorite is BuROM Modded Stock with Faux Kernel 14_b2
OR
CM7 Nightly 135.1 with Faux Kernel 52

CM 7.2 Official with Faux 52

CM 7.2 Nightlies and Faux v52 LG Stock stable

I believe we have a consensus starting,lol notice the trend?

lol cm7.2 + faux won the consensus congrats..

I personally have issues with Trinity kernels that I don't have with faux. I say faux based off personal experience.
If you need any of his older kernels that are not available anymore, I have several GB and CM7 kernels of his uploaded . So if you want an older version, pm me for links.

"lg" means low grade, that one is for phones that can't handle the higher CPU clock speeds.

another vote for trinity..
either CM 7.2 nightly + trinity elp or HFP 2.3 + trinity elp
Morfic's kernels work much better on my phone (LG-P999DW) + 21y baseband...
21e baseband *never* worked quite right for my phone, even on stock.

the LG means stock LG voltages and is unable to control undervolting. the other is for if you plan to undervolt with an app like SetCPU.
