Already super smooth/no data drop like on CM7, will install thunderbolt or USAS soon.

CM7 is working for me right now. It may be getting a little bit old, but since it is running stable for me at the moment, I will probably stick with it until AT&T releases GB for our lovely big screened handheld supercomputer... jk we will never get GB... at least not before we get ICS

Darky -> Dlev -> Galnet MIUI ICS (Black Ice ICS theme, GO Launcher with additional ICS theming)
First time opting for a non-Samsung ROM as a daily driver. Even with its hiccups, it's smooth and stable, and I get my hardware accelerated 1080p FLAC+subtitles MKV with DicePlayer. I'm missing the TouchWiz contacts app though.
Edit: Screenshots:

Hay GGX im kinda interested in seeing what you have setup, if you dont mind editing your post and putting up couple screenshots of what that looks like, would be nice to see
Thanks again for our infuse members placing their votes, i really wanted to see how our members have been using these roms , especially with the incredible dumps which have been coming lately lmao

Tried a good few of the roms available, like them all but seem to keep falling back to CM7. The phone just seems to run the best with it. And the UCKJ1 modem is the best I've found for the area I live in!

Sorry, but I didn't (I did some searching, but I didn't actually try to install it). I did everything using only MIUI's built-in settings and GO Launcher.

ROM Recommendation please?

I haven't rooted/modded in awhile. I used to just use CM7 when I first got the phone. I've gone through 3 replacements now and have yet to mod it. Can you guys recommend the best ROM for the specifics I'm looking for?
-Has to have wifi calling (this is a must i barely get 1 bar to no svc in my apartment)
-has to record in 1080
-has to have HDMI working
Please let me know which ROM you'd recommend? I'm tired of the stock always getting the black screen of death and the random reboots. Tmobile said they can't exchange it anymore. Thanks!

Try all of them then pick the one u like best.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Weapon or Tsugi. Love weapon G2x because it is really stable amd has great toggles. Tsugi is great also but i really want the toggles.
Sent from my G2X

Ran 2.3.3 eaglesblood for the longest and it was very stable, but I really like voodoo and the faux123 kernel for ota based roms kept freezing and rebooting my phone worse than the stock ROM/kernel and it took forever to reboot due to the cache rebuild issue. Then I tried RG2x MIUI and loved it but had too many bugs...plus MIUI has a bit of a learning curve to it. Now I'm on phoenixblood 1.4 with faux123 cm7 based kernel and so far everything is great. Only been a couple days but so far fast, smooth and stable!
If you don't care about overclocking or voodoo sound, then eaglesblood 2.3.3 based is very stable and fast.
Sent from my LG G2x using Tapatalk

I would also recommend one of the Eagle's Blood or Phoenix Blood Variants. Quick and stable. Good Luck!

Phoenix blood 1.4 no special kernels...
Yeah, I have tried then all and ever since nightly 201 from cyanogen...the CM 7 build have been the best

Get the one with the shoulder thing that goes up...
I've been using Weapon 2.6 since the day it was released. I also need WiFi calling.
Just install the LG cam 3.0 add-on and your set. I can also confirm that HDMI works nicely.
FWIW; I'v installed every iteration of Weapon as it was released. V 2.6 is the most stable for me.

I just got done trying the wajkui, and it worked pretty damn good. CM 7 worked pretty well for me too, and I have finally moved on to Bionix. It is all about finding which rom works best for you. Download a rom and try it out for a week, and flash another until you find what works. There are so many people who have made great roms, I am starting to get addicted to flashing one rom for a week and flashing another one the next week.

Bionix works really, really well for me and it's in active development. I've had good and bad experiences with Weapon, and I've also tried Tsugi and MIUI. So far Bionix has been the best for me. Good battery life, very responsive and most recently no random reboots.

If youre looking for straight style, go with MIUI. It looks great and theres plenty of very smooth themes out there I use a custom port called Singh-UI, its a bit more stable.
If youre looking for more customizations, go with CM7 Nightlies or Phoenixblood

I have tried all but right now I think the best two are Singh or WajkIUI both are MIUI ports.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Phoenix Blood is what I am using now. Was using Weapon because I thought no other ROM could match it's battery life and stability. This was after trying MIUI ports, CM7, etc. Phoenix Blood is stable, smooth, and I EASILY get a full day out of it with pretty heavy use. But, it all depends on what you are looking for, stylistically I mean.

Phoenix blood runs great on my phone, with very few bugs, it also gets frequent updates

I've only flashed CM7S, so i can't compare it to anything. I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it! But I'm using CM7s latest nightly with faux123s CM OC/UV v0.4.8 kernel. I like all themes there are for CM7. Oh, and of course the great performance and awesome battery life I'm getting is good too. Best thing to do would be, backup and flash a new ROM every week or so and see which is better

Ive really been liking Miui. especially nycelitemaster version, Singh. Try it out, its different but cool

Best Custom Rom & Kernel. For Skyrocket

I Need the best combination for the Galaxy SII Skyrocket thanks

try em yourself. I've flashed everyrom and every kernal. All seem very stable. Just pick one and go for it buddy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Check each rom's and kernel's thread and read all the info that dev has. For roms there are screen shots look at them. See what kind of tweaks and hecks it has. And decide what looks/theme and feature you like and based on your choice select the rom that fits you best. This is because No one knows you and everyone has different opinion. So check every rom/kernel ur self!

alright thanks.

I havent messed with any kernels. But for roms i would suggest sky ice cream sandwich or nexus. I was running sky ice cream sandwich but just switched to nexus.

Using sky ice cream sandwich its the beast using it since last 6 weeks. Trying faux kernel pretty quick though even stock kernel of sky ice cream is good.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Sky ICS has been my favorite with stock kernel

IMHO root, CWM backup, then cleanup and tweak stock while you wait for an ICS rom.

skyrocketeer was my first custom ROM and i love the look/feel/stability of it. very ICS-like. but it seems as if the dev has discontinued support so... i'm thinking of trying sky icecream sandwich..
just using a stock-ish, non-OC'd, BLN-modded kernel for now til all the kinks of OC/UV get worked out from others i've seen..

ICS "Themed" ROM is just that a theme.
I hope to see a real ICS ROM soon but until then I can not say I read that any ROM has have no problems.

Cyanogen --- FTW
Cyanogen is king!!!! I have it on my phone right now, and even thought it's
touted as an "Alpha". It's been stable enough for daily usage!

Quickwiz with faux's kernel is insanely fast , stable and smooth. Benchmark scores are also pretty high

same here ..Nexus batt life seems to be better so far IMO . 3rd day on rom )

I wouls suggest sky icecream rom, it's super stable and seanz is great about getting updates out, almost nightly.

I don't mind sharing my experiences. I've tried AOKP milestone 6, CM10 stable, PACman v18 AIO, and I'm Bout to try slimbean. Never flashed any custom kernels or radios (just ROMs and their baked in goodies). As far as AOKP goes, probably my favorite setup, UI, and functionality, but the damn thing lost mobile data after 24 hours and I had to restore a CM backup to get data back. As far as CM10 goes I love it a lot, in fact its worked the best, and my only complaint is the CRT off animation only working every 6th time (unless WiFi is on). Otherwise its been the most reliable and the most persistent on my phone. Lastly pacman v18 was pretty cool, like the integration of the different ROMs, but sometimes settings seemed to clash, and finding some settings were difficult (multiple ROM control menus) but it worked really well. Only problem I had was installing tweak box to get my CRT. That caused a never ending boot ani. Back to CM10 it was lol. Would love to hear some stories on kernels and radios, those intimidate me more than flashing ROMs. Oh BTW using twrp2 for recovery

Read the rules of the forum. What's best for me may not be best for you. All the roms you find here are good. But some have a better feel our look to me but may not to you.
Try them and find the one you like best.

Roms & Ports

What's the difference between a rom and a port?

Roms/custom roms are built for your specific phone
Ports are roms built for another phone but are made usable for your phone-the rom is tweaked a little to work with a different phone.
Example: theres a rom for an htc inspire thats really popular, a dev may ask permission to port it he will then tweak the files to work with our phone allowing us to flash the rom on ours.

There are many ports in the superthread. They are all possible from the i9000 Captivate phone.
Linuxbozo made the hellraiser kernel for us to make it possible.
The known bug on that kernel is the first call sound issue when you first boot. Just toggle the speaker once.
Native Infuse ROM are Zeus, Numas, Caty, Bionix, Victory and... Vagabond.

In your opinion, which one is the best?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

That's very hard to say. They all have some characteristics that sets them apart. There are some features in some ROMs that are not in others.
You kinda have to look thru the op's and determine which is for you.
You really can't go wrong. Once you have a good installation, and it is stable, for most users, just walk away.
The flash addicts will try something else, looking for another fix.
For example, the Vegabond I put together, is debloated. I have maximize battery life short of undervolting, but that is not likely with a stock kernel. HDMI will work w/ stock.
dman and bigfau made great roms.
Gtg's Infused -he a master dev.
nop's a master but we dont see 'im much
The ports have their own merits. I have not tried CM7 or MIUI.

I used CM7 for quite a while and really liked it, but I now need Bluetooth, so I have switched to Zeus. I really like CM7 with cyanbread, so I am trying to reproduce the look, might have to try theming. Zeus seems to be the hot infuse rom, from my experience, seems like almost everyone is running it.

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

Using latest version of Eaglesblood with faux kernel. It's stable, and battery life is awesome. I'm not into ROM swapping. When find one that works, I stick with it, and it's looking like I'll be with this one for a while. Maybe when an ICS ROM gets refined, I'll give it a go. I would like to have Chrome on the android.

Using CM 7.2 RC1 with faux ds kernel. I get about thirteen hours of medium use, light use lasts a couple of days.
It's a great stock rom without the problems of LG based ones.

Weapon G2x 3.0 R1

Cm7 7.2 RC1
Actually looks fine. But I notice more stutter than before, perhaps the ICS animation is bogging it some down.
Still a fan of CM7/Cm9.
I can honestly say, I'm sticking to the G2X despite having a Galaxy GS2. I truely enjoy the Cyanogen ROMS and can't wait for it to come CM9 on G2X and GS2
Also that Samsung is too big. Should have waited. Not sure I'll get any device over 4 inch screen. But thats me
