Hi, I don't own a G2X but my friends do. Their both having data connectivity issues and random rebooting. One has leaked gingerbread rom and one has stock rom. I've given them new sim cards but still same problem. Can anyone recommend a good stable-ish Rom that can take care of these issues? I was looking at the Eagleblood 2.3.4 Rom any feedback?
Thanks for the help!

I'm having great results with the Ultimate G2X 1.0 rom. Its fast/snappy/responsive, very stable, everything works, great theme.
I've tried the CM7 nightlies and they're pretty darn good, but still enoight quirks that I'll stick with Ultimate for now as my main rom.
Here's a link to the Ultimate thread

EB 1.0.4 with Faux's Kernel
EB 1.0.5 with faux kernel, it's friggen awesome!
I will also chime in for EB 1.05 (the froyo based rom) with faux's kernal. I tried out Ultimate 1.0 on my phone, but I was getting a bunch of FC's and "zombie widgets." I doubt it was a problem with the rom itself...it seems to be an awesome rom. But I run SPB Shell 3D, and I think maybe there was some kind of incompatibility with the theming. I don't know...but I tried and tried, and finally just gave up and went back to the EB because...well, it simply works. I haven't had a single problem with it.

I want to try that out, but I think you have to flash other stuff with that as well? Like gapps? Little confusing for me since I'm pretty much a newb at this stuff
if youre looking for stability i use fauxs oc stock kernel with stock rom. all other roms at this point cause different issues. mainly games not working such as nova saying wrong version or not updating for me. stock wouldn't be my choice for looks but everything seems to work and OC kernel with Go Launcher EX and its new app drawer animations make it pretty cool.
p.s. everytime i try a rom then go back to stock i get a bunch of text messages that for some reason always never get recieved when using other roms as well.
I was new to this stuff like u about a week ago. I really like eaglesblood and you probably wont need a kernel. Eaglesblood fixed the issues I had. Oh BTW I'm using 1.0.5 if u were wondering

All of the 2.3.x roms have issues, not the developers fault, it is because the roms are based off a leaked early GB rom and are missing some of the drivers/features.
To me working BT and GPS are necessary features in a "best" rom, so I look to the froyo based roms, currently my every day rom is team Shockwave's Dark Sinister Rom.
If BT & GPS are not important, then Eagleblood Rom with Faux's OC Kernal is relatively issue free.

Been reading through the thread. Apparently EB designed the newest version to work with the new BB.
I'm gonna backup and flash.

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.

HwA? and EB is almost there. it just needs a little fine tuning. i just wouldnt hold my breath for Official support.
The new BB can be tricky at times, there are certain ROM's that have the fix built in, or ROM's that claim to be made specifically for the new BB...this is where the confusion comes in.
So here are the ROM's that i've seen that already have the new BB incorporated:
-EB Build 4 (you choose which BB to flash during installation)
-[ROM][GB 2.3.7][v21y] Miui.us 6-7-12
-MokeeOS R.282
-Owain's (Build 79 will have new BB support)
So are there any other ROM's that you do NOT need to flash the BB fix? The new CM7.2 RC3 has the new BB supported within the ROM, correct?
Some more obvious ROM's that support new baseband
Stock 2.3.4 v21y
Kwes1020 Rooted Stock 2.3.4 v21y
BuRom SLIGHTLY Modded Stock 2.3.4 v21y
All Cyanogenmod versions since 7.2.0 RC3
Possibly the CM Nightly just before the May 26 RC3 version
Anything else if you use Owain's baseband fix...
I have used lots of the Cyanogenmod Nightlies because they can be dirty flashed from one update to the next. I also Nandroid back to BuRom or Stock 2.3.4 sometimes to help my wife :highfive: when she gets confused about something on her stock G2x.

I bricked my phone the other day running some CPU stability test within the Mokee 2.3.7 ROM I listed above, something happened and the phone turned off, couldn't get power to come on no matter what. Luckily ADB still worked and I was able to get it going again using the flash.bat fix that takes v21e and turns it into a flashable ROM through ADB.
Either way, when I booted up the phone, I had 2.3.3, but still had v21y March 2012 listed under the baseband. I believe everything is good to go, I haven't flashed the v21y.kdz because I don't know if I actually need to.
I'm running Mokee again and his ROM states the new BB fix is incorporated with the ROM, i have no issues with signal and phone call audio so I guess everything is the way it should be.
Some ROM's work with either baseband???
I think I understand what you are getting at...
Do some ROM's (which ones?) operate fine regardless of the baseband? That's something that is not always clear from looking at changelogs. I am usually pretty careful about reading a ROM's description in its OP. We do really need an organized listing of what ROMs work on each baseband...
As for Cyanogenmod, I believe that the RC3 from May 26 only supports the March 2012 baseband. I think I read on another thread that all the CM7 versions that followed RC3 are supposed to be backward compatible with the old baseband as well. I also think I read that EB lets you chose your baseband during the install (Aroma??). Could it be that Mokee detects the baseband and adjusts to allow your cell radio to work with either baseband ?
I am going to look into this stuff some more...

The first Mokee build (about 2 weeks ago) had different ROM's for different basebands. The following build, which was like 5 days ago, stated that there will only be one ROM, but will work with either baseband. Eagles Blood ICS Build 4 makes you choose which baseband during flashing.
Mokee is the only one i've seen so far that lets you use either baseband, and have no problems.
just to be clear on Eaglesblood, you arent choosing which baseband to install, you are choosing which baseband you want the rom to support. if you have the new BB then you will want the built in support from EB, otherwise you cant use your phone as a phone unless you apply Owains fix (which can be applied to ANY rom)
as for CM7 i think all of the builds since CM7.2-RC3 support the new BB. CM7.2 just went stable a couple of days ago so all new nightlies would be 7.3??
also like i said, you can apply Owains fix to any rom to get it to work with the new BB. if you are not sure the rom you installed will work with the new BB on your phone, just make a call. if it doesnt work, then apply Owains fix. if it does, then the rom likely supports the new BB or you are still on the old one
would anyone know which V21Y roms having working BT calling? i know CM does not, therefore, since many roms are based on CM, many roms dont have working bt calling. i know Kwes's, burom, and stock all work though since they are based on stock rom.

Bluetooth stack in touchwiz based roms sucks. Apparently its much better aosp, so give cm9 a go
Running CM9 latest stable release stock Kernel with UXLF3 radio using LTE.
Investigator Kernel is running great as well.

Only main problem for me is the 160 characters limit.

Mohan is working on the BT issue, I've been running mostly his ROM's. Seans are great, but eventually I go to Embryo (mainly he has same car as me so if it works on his then good)
For BT quick fix for you on any rom would be just to flash Mohan's 1.5 Kernel and problems will be gone. Only thing is he alredy has a new one out, but BT is not fixed on it yet.
You can get 1.5 and follow the BT issue discussion in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701189
Don't forget to hit thanks to him, he is very dedicated to find the root and fix the BT problem.

When I flash roms and install a radio, it takes for ever for it to switch to LTE. APN are all set right. I tried all radios from ATT to Rogers.

Hi,
I had sky ics 4.04 and people who i called said they can hear me perfect.
But i had some bugs in that rom (touchwiz crashed alot, and not fully support of hebrew languige, wich i need)
I tried a lot of roms (slim bean, super lite, nightly..) and they all were fast, stable but with call quality problems. (The other side find it difficult to jear me)
I tried to swich some radio's, but nothing got better.
My currect rom is nightly 4.2.2 cm10.1 (wich is perfect! Except the call quality)
With radio: ucli3

Why do you think the cause for the good quality on the skyics 4.04 ? , mabe the kernel?

AFAIK radio/kernel/signal are all that should affect call quality. You could probably mess with your build.prop some but you'll have to search around for that.
IMO there's only two ROMs out there that I would use right now, Latest Stock ODIN or JellyBAM.
JellyBAM is flawless, I have ZERO problems with it and it has EVERY feature you can imagine (literally).
If you're looking or a fresh start to trial and error, try JellyBAM. It's stable and loaded with features.
As far as radios go, UCLL3 is the best radio that I've found, but you could try the new UXUMA7 from the Rogers JB release, might work better for your location.
Nibbles v0.1.4 is a nice kernel and I haven't had any problems with that either.
