[Q] Is it worth upgrading to new Baseband? - T-Mobile LG G2x

So yeah is it worth the upgrade considering how many people are having problems with it?
I usually either use Singh UI MIUI or HFP on both threads I see people complaining about issues with new baseband.
I didn't see any post similar to this one so hope it helps some other people wondering the same.

For now:
Only CM7 RC3 supports the audio on the new baseband.
If you try to install other custom rom, you will have audio problem.
CM7 RC3 - have problem with the bluetooth car calling (original stock does not have this issue though).
If you are using other ROMS other than CM7, then no, its not worth it to upgrade now.

I am running HellFire P 2.2 and have not problems with the new BB, I flashed Owains fix, and everything seems to work, haven't tried BT because I don't use it.

You forgot to mention that, the EaglesBlood AOSP ICS Rom also has support for the new BB

Hellfire Sandwich 1.8 also supports the new baseband. Awesome GPS reception but I do have trouble with the data icon. It doesn't show color just the monochrome look like its connecting but I still am able to have data. Weird but true.

[Theme] Status bar Icons for Weapon G2x v2.5

I like the regular Weapon theme, but I don't like the standard status bar icons so I just made this. Don't expect any updates. I just made it for myself because I was bored and then decided I would share
Wipe cache and dalvik (just in case...) and flash in CWM
That looks great. Reminds me of the old HD2 days. I assume this only works with 2.3.5 CM based Roms. Any chance you could whip up a similar bar for EB 2.3.3?
Much thanks

I was actually trying to get rid of 4g as there is no such thing as 4g. There is an HSDPA, which is merely an extension to 3g LG is my first phone to have the 4g icons instead of H with the same carrier
We could have 1000 pages debating what 4g is. I rather have the 4g Icons otherwise I like this. Goes with the keyboard

There you go. They are not offical 4G but can be considered 4G
Lol we can really go on for 1000s of pages abt this. If you read on, it says that the lowest 4g speed after reconsideration is 100mbit at peak. What apead do you get 2, 4, 10? It goes like this gprs, edge, 3g, hspa,hspa+, wimax. What we have is hspa or hspa+. Wimax can be considered 4g i suppose as it provides a much higher speed.
But, it doesnt matter. Even if I am wrong, Its just a matter of personal preference what icon you like better. I like H so i made H icons and shared what i came up with. If you can find a 4g icon that will go with the theme, ill make one just to keep everyone happy.

Working terrific so far. Looks absolutely identical to regular miui. Except keyboard which is a tiny bit smaller I believe. Also noticibly faster in general. I do recommend it from my experience so far.
been running ICS build since it's availability and everything has been smooth and stable. it "feels" faster than any other MIUI build i've used, but could just be placebo effect unless ICS' hardware acceleration is really working.
i even had wifi calling working a couple times, but this has not been consistent. sometimes it worked and other times i had the "invalid sim" error.
can't really comment on battery life as i'm still re-calibrating.
the only issue i've run into is a Market FC only when i try to swipe through the screenshots for apps...weird.
other than the issue listed above, this rom has been great and error free for me.
tried it out.... hated the Ui would much prefer weapon x ui with ics improvements and toggles going back to weaponx 2.8.
Been using the ICS build. No crazy real world speeds were felt by me. Only going to keep running this build if the battery life is better than the regular one.
Missing extended power menu. Might be missing gps.config fix & APN fix files in this ICS build.
Looks & feels the same as any other MIUI Whitehawkx has ported over.
Installed just now...works great and benchmarks return 2700+. Also, I was having terrible problems with Youtube before with any other MIUI version (very, very, very, verrrrrry slow loading). Now Youtube is faster to load than when it was with Gingerbread.
THANK YOU Whitehawkx!

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I had that happen but only because miui considered it a favorite app and wanted you to submit a rating.
That's the only thing I found impressive was the media player, galnet player. I'd love to see it in cm7 or in a market.
Playing with miui on my G2 just to get a feel for it. Would have moved it to g2x but I need T-Mobile wifi to work

I haven't tried this, but yes CM 9 has almost everything working except media encoding and decoding.
I am running the latest CM9 beta from Arcee. Data, wifi, GPS, everything works except for the camera, and video play back isn't working.
Also, I tried connecting to T-Mobile manually, though still no data.
I'm not sure how data wouldn't work if this is based off of CM9. Since it does work on there.

im pretty sure it would have to be fixed on kernel for miui, since this is not based on a similar port device (Nexxus S), we will probably have to wait for o2x official miui v4 build. unless a workaround can be found before that. but for now no data, and i know what works or what docent on cm9. il keep ya posted

I actually tried this and downloaded a Faux kernel but now when I open up this game, it gives me the spinning wheel and it says getting ready. This is on a MIUI rom 2.3.30
I had tones of issues on GB. So far no issues at all with various ICS roms floating around. Take the plunge and switch to ICS.
Ok here's a work around to my problem....
Draw something will work with Faux kernel for MIUI 2.3.30 but you can only use your data instead of WIFI. For some reason when in WIFI, you will get the endless "Getting Ready" message but if you turn off your WIFI and use your data. It seems to work ok.
Works fine for me on aosp. Laggy at times

Pretty sure Raver put some different GPS drivers and some other tweaks in that one. Maybe he'll chime it to verify but I remember the GPS working very well on VB. That being said "very well" for this phone is still not that great.
Erik had GPS working well on one of his ICS ROMS as well just can't remember which one right now.
So GPS lock on ICS is a known issue?

Im curious about this myself. I spent fifteen minutes trying to get a lock. Eff'in shade trees seem to kill my gps signal. If I go half a mile away it will lock faster but it still shows my accuracy bubble in the hundred meter range.
Do you have to be outside to have a GPS lock? Seems like Gingerbread didn't have a trouble locking on while indoors..

I'm on CM9 r8 and it takes 15 sec to lock but the accuracy is far from off and it's the same thing on nexus beam. That's the rom I came from before cm9 looking to fix that problem but I got nothing
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Honestly the best ROM I've ever used for getting a fast GPS lock was CyanogenMod 7. My phone would get a lock in just a couple seconds even while indoors.
I've tried every ROM on this forum and I have been really happy with Valhalla Black. Valhalla Black+Anthax Kernel+Lightning Zap and the phone run awesome. I usually get a GPS lock in about 5 seconds.
This all cracks me up. Unless you have different GPS binaries or configs on the different ROMs, you're seeing "normal, run-to-run variations" in the times. GPS satellites move relatively quickly across the sky and the "constellation" changes by the minute -- as will the ability of any GPS receiver to lock on them.
I doubt any of the current crop of ICS ROMs have any differences in anything that matters. I'd love to be proven wrong and I'm sure ROM cooks/developers would like to know if one set of binaries/configs performed better than another.
Some of the files involved include (looking at my current AOKP build, your files may vary):
/system/vendor/bin/samsung-gpsd
/system/vendor/bin/gpsd
/system/vendor/lib/hw/gps.s5pc110.so
/system/lib/libclientgps.so
/system/etc/vendor/samsung-agps/secgps.conf
/system/etc/gps.xml
For CM7, CM9, AOKP and perhaps a few more, you can look at the source trees and see if there is any difference, or look at the md5 hash for a quick check.
Arguably, the kernel driver and the location services in the framework could have an effect, but I doubt anyone not building from scratch are modifying those.
RaverX3X did make some suggestions on improving GPS lock time that may still apply.
