Welcome, you're in the right place with your device. So, every ROM found in the dev section is indeed compatible with your phone.
As for start, you wanna have a failsafe recovery on your device. You will able to use it to backup/restore/flash, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Once it is sorted, make a backup of your wind ROM, then head to the development section and choose your flavor of ROM.
If it is for the wife, I suggest pass on the ICS ROMs as for now.
Edit:
The most stable ROM is so subjective. There are a couple of thread asking the same question, read trough those please to get an idea.
There's also a thread called Wind mobile G2X users unite with some useful advice.
Good luck!

I'd also like to mention that most roms break the ability to send mms without annoying work arounds.
Sent from my LG G2X running AOKP ICS using XDA App
Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 is rock solid and doesn't have any issues with connection or mms. Also its one of the fastest and best supported roms out there with a ton of people willing to help good luck!

I would actually flash the faux 048 or Trinity elp kernel so you have accurate battery readings but the stock kernel is good too

If you aren't running a stock rom then sometimes you can't unroot cause root is built into the rom...

Hey guys I finally just rooted my Inspire. Can I flash CM7 and use the Telus kernel to get sound back? Thanks to all, sorry if this is a noob question
Nope. No CM7 or MIUI until source is released. Neither will work without an AOSP kernel, for which source code is required.

Alright thanks for the quick reply
The great thing is once we get source it shouldn't be an issue at all, and by that time cm7 may be past RC stage and into final!
I was a captivate owner. I need to look for silver linings wherever I can find them.

Hi everyone, had a nexus s and everything on the notification bar was green, because of gingerbread... because it was on auto-sync.. now on my g2x running stock gingerbread its not green just the battery is green.. which is really annoying.. anyone know why?

Yeah, it's because the NS ran REAL AOSP. Which has the colored bars that you're talking about which does mean that you're sync'd.
But, the G2x runs LG's stupid wannabe AOSP. The bars aren't colored because it's their own custom skin. It's sync'd though, you just can't tell because LG made it that way.
I just got the G2x few days ago, couldn't stand their custom ROM. So I rooted it and flashed CM7 the second I had the chance.
I would suggest you do the same as well.

What was your old phone? It's pretty hard to brick this. Rooting was simple and painless. There's a good video tut on how to do it.

1. Install Clockworkmod via One Click NVFlash tool. Do not use ROM Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Now you have two choices.
Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (power + volume down) ...
1. Install my root zip if you want to stay on stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
2. Choose an already rooted rom from dev section and flash it. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing an alternate rom or a bootloop may likely result.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1117
I've hard bricked a couple of phones (not a G2X) in the past and based on what I know this phone is very hard to brick. The only way to do I think is to issue errant commands in NVFlasher, but that is why we have the One Click Recovery flasher to isolate us from that possibility.
^^ damn that guys boss! Do his instructions to a T and you'll be all set.

It currently boots, however is not working as an actual recovery at this point.
you can try flashing it, but do not use it to make any backups or flash roms.
There is a modified version floating around the forums that has touch CWM working for G2X 5.8.1.3. I have backed up and restored and it gave no problems.

dont go flashing that just yet... still not 100%
mount points are screwed up, so while it might look and act working, you might be restoring your dalvik cache to /system...
just hang on a bit longer, Rusty is getting close, but he can only do so much on his own without a g2x to test it himself.
Can anyone please share me a working link of lg g2x froyo like eagles blood 2.2.2 , sinister froyo etc.? i looked over but they are all dead links please..

I've never ran a mod or any custom tweaks like that. So i can't help you on that end. when i say right setup i pretty much mean controlling the CPU limits, having data off when not needed, shutting down wifi or data when screen is off and lowering CPU output while screen is off.

Hey guys,
Soo... JB 4.3 is out, and seems quite interesting and worth upgrading to. So, I have a few questions:
1) Will it be worth for the devs to work on 4.3 for the P999?
2) Do you think there will be any roms for it?
3) If no, do you think that the development for the P999 is dead?
First, let me ask you a question. Do you know why we don't have a proper JB ROM yet, or even ICS ROM...?

I'm daily driving a hackfest, and I love it. I'm sure there's many others who can live with a hackfest too.
If there was a 4.3 ROM I'd think it'd be apolkosnik to release it but with a broken radio like the current 4.2.2 ROM out.
There isn't even a hackfest version of android 4.2. There is no complete source to any hackfest for this device anymore I believe. Development is dead unless Maz ends up getting something released if he's still working on anything outside his kernels in my opinion

hmm...closest app to a fully functioning recorder that i have tried so far but still not working correctly. The video freezes up every few seconds while recording and then continues to record again and then repeats the cycle in the playback. Appreciate your tip man but I gotta be honest, I think I'm pretty sh*t outta luck if I want a fully working HD recorder for an ICS ROM on this device lol.

The SD and Internal SD are reversed, so if you have a larger SD it makes it seem like you have a large internal memory. Also the directory name for the "external" (now your 5gb internal) has changed to /mnt/emmc
