Best ROM

What is the most stable rom at the moment?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

there are lots! just take a look in the development section. there are also alot of threads started with this same question that have alot of peoples reviews in this and the general section. Personally my phone plays well with stock based roms EB/ Weapon G2x/ Tsugi etc. where everything works well including the elusive GPS locks (within seconds on updated July Baseband) No FC or random Reboots. From reading throught threads ive noticed to each their own. as it seems many peoples G2x plays differently with each rom. best answer is to flash away and find the one for you.

Ill use this thread since it was already started.
I am running stock CM 7.1 right now.. I am looking to play.. BUT I would like to be able to re-install apps each time I flash.. maybe even save email accounts and SMS??
Does Titanium do this? whats best for doing this when you play with ROMs?
Or do you just suck it up and have to re-install each time??

I really hate when people ask this question; pretty much every GB ROM will be stable, it's up to you to decide which one you like.

I love Hellfire Phoenix v2.0 Smooth, fast as hell and once tweaked right there is 0% chance of lag in the forecast

This may sound stupid, but is the wifi not working in general as a whole an issue with the phone or it's software, if it's software, what would you suggest as being a good,stable rom for the issue above?
Thanks

I can't get Eagles Blood AOSP build 1 to work on G2X

I've tried a lot of ways the only from I got to work on my G2X is Genesis from Mr.Apocalypse and Hellfire before 1.6 and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I do the regular wipe data/cache/Davilk and its a no go. I even used some new Nuliffier <-- lol I know that's not spelled right but I got that the single wipe and then tried to flash it and its a no go sooo can someone help me out and tell me if I'm missing something ??????

There's been a bug with 4.0.4 roms that requires you to flash it twice, one after another, nothing in between. Next time you try a rom like that, take note of how long it takes to install. If it only took a few seconds, it wasn't properly flashed. Flash again right away and you should notice it taking longer to install. Then flash your gapps and/or kernel if ya need it and reboot. Should be good.

It doesn't effect the EB AOSP ROM. It's 4.0.3.

@Caliyork yeah your right I really ain't notice that but I'll be looking at that, have you been successful putting kernels on because I have the same problem with that ?? I mean I got one to go thru but when it fully booted up the touch didn't work and I couldn't unlock it so it wasn't functional. I had to restore and run a rom without a kernel.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

are you flashing the proper kernel, sounds like you grabbed a kernel for a different phone, I'm guessing something from the Morfic collection?

Hmm could be, but I was in the g2x forum and I browsed for kernels and I got fauxs 123 kernel, Trinity, and Harshs and none of them seemed to have worked, I used Mr.Apocalypse and none of them went thru. Cud u give me links to see if any were the right ones ? Do you use OC/UV ?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

All those that are directly in the forum are correct except maybe harsh his might've been a p990 kernel. Some phones don't play well with some kernels.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

I'm not sure referring to quality control is accurate, but phones do have bad batches or manufacturing tolerances and what not. Can't always get the cream of the crop.
That's practically the one reason why I chose the G2x instead of the HTC MyTouch 4G lol. Bad EMMC happens to die on you and you've got yourself an expensive brick.
Have you tried any other ROM other than ICS roms? Trying to figure out if the problem is restricted to those only. Might help.

Haha yeah I've heard that before but I'm not sure if I have a bad batch because I got Genesis, AOKP, and Hellfire (ICS roms) to work fine but could not get any custom kernels that supported OC/UV to work on them. Uhh I actually been using nothing but ICS roms I never tried and other roms that supported GB just cuz I wanted to be updated. Are you on any other Roms or you using a ICS rom ?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

I've used a lot of different ROMs, and they all work fine. But I'm on the stock LG 2.3.4 that was released lately, and that's been running really super.
Flashing ICS doesn't necessarily mean that you're up to date when a lot of things don't work. I've used AOKP, EB's AOSP, HFS and Owain's. I have multiple problems with data dropping, APN's disappearing when entering Airplane mode or mass storage just completely does not work. Not to mention, NO NETFLIX!
As far as kernel issues, make sure you're installing the appropriate ones for the P999 and make sure they're ICS specific and not for the GB kernels.
Edit: If I remember, EB's AOSP uses a modified Faux Kernel that supports OC right off the bat, so there's no need to flash a different kernel.

That's true never thought of it like that where can I get the rom you are using ???? And yeah I tried to get EB AOSP to work but it wont for me -_____- lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

I'm using a stock rom. If you feel adventurous then flash the new V21y baseband (50% likely to brick your phone hard). If not, I would just stick with GB. My all time favorite is WeaponG2x.

I'm gonna get the new baseband now. I've heard that using the LG update tool with an old version of clockwork can soft brick you. Anyone done it with clockwork 5.0.2.0?

I updated perfectly fine on Windows 7, running 2.3.3 stock ROM and had 5.0.2.0 Clockwork flashed at the time

Can someone tell me what does not work with EB ics right now? Because im running CM7 RC3 and dont have working bluetooth or speaker phone so might make the upgrade to ICS if its worth it.

I didn't test everything. I was mainly curious to see if the calling was clear. I didn't keep it on long as ics roms have sucky data for me.
As for video, I don't believe it works on any ics rom. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't really keep up with them because of the data issues.

From my testing, BT does not work on the latest EB AOSP 4.0.4 build 4 release.

also, FFC is upside down on new baseband.
personally, i'd stick with rooted stock or CM7 if your one V21Y. at least until doniqcc irons out the wrinkles. i flashed last night and restored my CM7 backup this morning after going overnight from unbelievably GOOD battery life on CM7 to unbelievably BAD battery life on EB. but it is nice knowing that good things are down the pipe for the G2x. dont lose hope for a fully functioning ICS =]

As much as I want a fully functional ICS rom for the G2x, I'm not holding my breath. Unless somebody sits down and starts figuring out the source code for HwA themselves.

Loud choppy/helicopter sound in-call

So I had an issue with my g2x and was sent a new one that I got Friday. I backed up my G2X that is rooted and run eaglesblood 2.8 with rom manager and than rooted and booted it up on the new. But than when making calls both me and the person on the other end here this loud choppy noise like a helicopter and we can't hear each other at all. So I got tmobile to send me another one out. I did the same thing and thought everything was fine made test calls and everything. I got away from the house and got a call and the nosie was back. I had the wife on in the house and now I'm back home and the phone works fine when its on WiFi. just when I use it on the network... thoughts?

Upgrade your baseband to 21y, or use and old ROM that's compatible with your current baseband (which is probably 21e).

I am going to look this up a bit but I am not sure how to upgrade the baseband got any tips on where to start reading?

okay I download getril and the baseband was wrong or whatever but now it says fixed but still is doing it.

It's more likely you're on the latest bandbase which is March 2012. That would explain the issue and not as previously suggested.

Search 21e and read up on reverting backwatds... pretty much use 2.3.4 stock modded roms or use cm7 rc3 and up for the baseband you're on now.

That's the latest which isn't compatible with most ROM's. You need to run stock or EB AOSP which don't have the issue or downgrade your bandbase and run whatever you want.

Okay going to try the newest EB loading it up now. how much can I restore than with Titan backup pro?

Wow this new EB has a cool installer app thingy!

I didn't suggest it cause now were probably going to be reading a new thread complaining about things not working, while it is one of the best ics roms!

Don't restore apps. Install clean the first time.

Yea why are people suggesting half working ics roms?
Here are your choices: kwes's stock rooted, bururom, CM7.2 RC3 and latest nightly.

Exactly. Don't install ICS for a daily ROM, stick with the ROMs that he mentioned.

Try to update to 2012 Baseband

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to update to the new baseband but everytime I run the fix my phone still says I have the july 2011 baseband. I am running Hellfire 1.8 and I tried to do it the way it says by flashing ROM, FIX, then GAPPS. but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I just got finished doing this, WOW the GPS has a fast lock now. Make sure that you flash the BB FIX after you restore you HFP

Guys I cant install the lg update tool. gets stuck around 10% then just stops. Im already having issues and I havent even gotten to the phone part lol help? tried rebooting laptop, running w7 64bit T420 8g RAM. I dont think its my laptop..
UPDATE: added screenshot of where setup gets stuck.

follow this thread. works like a charm. make a backup of your device first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
the steps in this thread will restore a stock gingerbread rom. when that is done, use nvflash and put the stock recovery back on as well
reboot your phone and do the update that way (over the air). look in About Phone under system settings and you will see a menu item at the top called software update (or something similar). use that to update your phone, you will end up with GB 2.3.4 and the new baseband
if you want to use a custom rom, eaglesblood build 4 has support for the new baseband built in or you can use CM7 RC3 or a currently nightly, or you can use either kwes or buru's roms, OR owain has a bb update zip that is supposed to work on any rom
good luck!

Sorry it just turned out that it was my jobs firewall that didn't allow the install to talk to the Lg servers. I got home and it worked so I now am running HFS 1.8 with the new baseband. Thanks for everyone's help on this.

how is your BT and call quality? those are issues on all but the stock 2.3.4 that comes with the new baseband (and the tweaked roms based off it)

The only thing I've tried through BT is tethering, as I dont use a BT headset, which works great. Call quality is clearer but not a huge difference. Data drops less often now though.

I've had no luck with Bluetooth on new baseband but it works great on the stock 2.3.4 ROM from LG. Loaded with tons of bloatware to slow your phone down again.

i starred it and hope it gets fixed one way or the other and i agree, the new stock 2.3.4 works great and getting rid of bloat shouldn't be a problem however, just yesterday and today while running 2.3.4 my phone would just start getting really hot doing nothing but sitting in the holster, screen off, 4g off, BT off, wifi off, dont understand, but i put cm7 june 10 build on and now it doesnt do that

Yeah, I can run custom ROMs and all is well other than Bluetooth for call audio. My problem is I drive all day and have to use Bluetooth, so I'm stuck on stock
Hopefully it will get fixed.
