Hey guys,
Sorry but it seemed like this was the only way to figure something out. I've had my MT4GS for an year now and i've been trying on new roms since the day i got it. All in hopes that i would find one that actually works. I'm tired of all the Alphas and frankly i'm tired of them. It seems like everyone and their mother has an Alpha ROM out. I'm not making this up, maybe you guys have seen it too. A few weeks ago, someone released a ROM (Alpha) saying, the phone, the wifi, and the camera doesn't work. I was thinking, "why would you release this, what can the phone do with this ROM?"
Enough about my rants, these are the ROMs that i've actually used for a considerable amount of time and the problems.
Bulletproof- It had huge syncing problems and it would crash. (used it for 3 months)
Virtuous Inquisition- Crashed very often and the battery life wasn't as good, no trackpad support. (used it for 6 months)
Cyanogenmod 9 (Tried all Alphas)- Half the apps don't install from the market saying "its not supported on this device" (WTF??) (Used it for 3 weeks)
Virtuous Infinity- Loved it, not a big fan of sense but this was good but the connection kept dropping out, sometimes during calls. (used it for a week)
I got fed up and went back to Virtuous Inquisition. It was crashing but it was the most stable one that i've used so far.
all i'm looking for is one that has the basic functions and has a good battery life. I remember the days of CM7, where the battery lasted FOREVER. It doesn't have to be that good but as long as it is descent.
anyone have any recommendations?
What do you mean by crashing? I have used Bulletproof for over 6 months and it never crashes. It is the most stable rom I have found. Are you perhaps over or underclocked? That can cause issues. Also, there are lots of other threads that ask this same question, so why not post in one of those, instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that has been covered many many times.
Search function, maybe?
MikTouch
Just because it's labeled as an alpha doesn't mean it isn't. Some people just label it that so they don't have to deal with idiots when they complain.

thank you. and sorry. I know why they are labeled Alpha. I am a developer myself. I was just looking to find which "Alpha" is actually really good.
CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME.

Are you serious? Neither Amazon Appstore nor SlideME are equivalent to the google play store for number of apps. Meh.
I'm looking into getting a MYT4GS, since there seem to be no new phones that have a slide out keyboard, fast dual core processor and a screen with at least a 800x480 resolution.

Don't walk in and complain and then backpedal, saying that you were just looking for the best alpha. I'm not a developer, but I still think your thread post was a kick in the nuts.
You know what you're entitled to around here? Stock 2.3.4. That's it. Everything else is gravy. So sit down, open your wallet, and shut up.
There NEVER should be a rant about ROMs. NEVER. What sense is it to complain about gifts? Do you receive your Christmas presents and then proceed to take 30 minutes to complain about them?

I just have to say that the other app stores are not as good as play. It isn't about having the most apps. The apps from the Amazon store are not updated as frequently as the ones in the play store, and the developers are not getting paid properly, that is why the apps in the Amazon store are not as plentiful or maintained as frequently.

So, it is a big problem that has nothing to do with wanting the most apps. It is bad for the Devs.

Well, I still think that not having the play store is a big problem. I want everything that Android has to offer, I personally like having books, movies, t.v. shows, mags, and apps at my fingertips one of the major reasons why I own a smartphone. Telling someone to get an Iphone because they want everything the Play store has to offer isn't really constructive or very nice. I love all the roms that our devs have made for our phone, but I choose to use Bulletproof so that I can have everything working that came with this phone. People value different things in roms, I think it is not appropriate to put someone down because they want the market. I would love to run one of the ICS roms, but for now the best fit for me is a Gingerbread rom because everything is working.

OK. If you've:
a. had the MT4GS for a year,
b. are tired of all the "Alphas,"
c. are a developer,
...maybe you should make your own "Alpha." This place is called XDA Developers, not XDA whine-and-complain-about-alphas-and-say-I'm-a-developer-to-add-credibility-to-my-name. If actually ARE a developer, you should be ashamed of yourself for disparaging the work of the MT4GS devs.
You joined XDA to complain that xmc is trying to get stable Jelly Bean on our device? Seriously?
The MT4GS is one of the few dual-core phones that never received an official update to ICS. The devs here managed to get stable ICS on our device. They CHOOSE to share their work with you. You are entitled to nothing. You should know that. You are a developer, aren't you?
Actually, please don't answer that question. Nothing you say will change the fact that you joined XDA to complain about free stuff.

No, I haven't checked it out in a while. I was just referring to the issue of the Amazon and Slideme markets being suitable replacements for Google Play. Didn't you say in an earlier post "CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME." ? I am confused as to why they would be worried about Play if it is working?
I will give CM9 another look as soon as I have some time. Also for the record, I am very satisfied with the level of development for this phone, and have never complained about the choices of roms. I just took issue with the whole market replacement issue.

I'm sorry if it came off like that. I didn't join this to complain. I was simply asking if anyone has found any roms that they would recommend.
When i said i'm tired, i meant that there are 20+ roms just here at XDA, and I dont want to go through each one for a week only to find out it wont work and i need a new one. So i was asking for RECOMMENDATIONS!
I wasnt ranting at ppl. I know how hard it can be to make a ROM. The ppl at places like CM, Virtuous and other places work their butts off to do these releases. And to pay my respects, i download them and test them thoroughly and send them reports about un-reported bugs that they might have missed.
.
For example, on CM9, you can't download apps like "Android Online Radio" and "Cessna 172 Checklist FULL". They (CM) haven't mentioned the problem, so i reported it to them.
and when i said im a developer, i didnt mean i do ROMs (There are other things you can develop FYI)
now all that put aside, i was ranting about one guy, who had that "nothing working" alpha.
Let me try it again before ppl start yelling at me... I want some HELP with ROMs. Could someone RECOMMEND me a ROM that is stable.
for exapme. rorytmeadows(first post), and yellowjacket1981 actually recommended ROMs. Then it was just bash on the new guy...
and yellowjacket1981, mine cashed every time i tried to sync my dropbox or facebook. Gmail was the only thing that synced without crashing.

Hmm, that is strange, I have no problem syncing my facebook or dropbox. Are you Son? if so did you flash the kernel through adb? My bf is son, and didn't flash the kernel through adb, and he had all kinds of problems until I flashed it through adb for him. I honestly have had zero problems running Bulletproof, that is why I have stuck with it so long.

now rebased off rvu 1.3.1 so that means 4g should be a go
I removed all HTC widgets and most HTC/sprint apps except for the needed ones people messages music etc. Plus a few I happen to like
Big thanks to Keith and gbhil over at Android central for an amazing Rom to base this off of
Also gotta thank toast maejrep and co. For root
Wipe is most likely needed haven't tried to flash yet without
and yes you will keep root if you flash this if you used toasts method haven't confirmed unrevoked
Changelog:
1.1 now based on rvu 1.3.1 com.HTC.utility no longer fcs
1.0 based of rvu 1.0 all HTC widgets/apps removed except for messages etc....

Looks great! I will load this later!
I highly recommend getting adw launcher it'd amazing
Does anyone know where com.HTC.rosieutility is located or what on here could still be causing it to fc on boot it doesn't affect the phone at all its just annoying seeing that every reboot
A couple of questions. Will you still be rooted if you flash this rom? Does it still have the market or 4G problems of other roms.

I have no idea about 4g I would say probably not since I didn't change anything in that regard

Aw, darn. I thought this was actually an AOSP ROM. This is basically already what I've done to my stock ROM.

Good job. Thanks for the speedy contribution towards our shiny new evo rom collection I remember liking sense and aosp so i like both and i always wanted sense to run right. That was everyones complaint with sense. Well thats not an issue anymore. I thought i would be all on it, like with my hero w/o thinking.....well as soon as i got my evo i forgot all that i learned about root and why to do it....JK but i am very satisfied with it and i will wait until i can access recovery and rw to system from device before i do. I spent the whole time i had my hero trying to make it into a device like this.....well now i have it Gimme a week and i think ill go to work.......

Until we have fully functional aosp/froyo/2.2 you wont have a rom that will even work without a bunch of sense remnants wasting space on your internal storage and increasing rom size.HTC is a shiny ui htc used to lure in all the apple morons(no offense i used to have an iphone before my hero). and since they made the devices, they're plaguing software/htc sense is an integral part of the ruu they put together. This is the reason everyone always wants a non-sense rom or VANILLA. We will not have full function vanilla until toast or someone else here compiles an0ther makeshift kernel, or lastly when htc releases the source so that we can compile a kernel with the right device drivers, to give us a full function rom. It would be to say the least, very very very hard to just compile the right drivers for the htc device hardware, thus all the aosp/froyo with certain features such as cam, or 4G missing.......hope this helps you und3rstand what you are looking for a little bit more clearly. In theory, YOU or I could create the source code for the kernel and drivers. Is that going to HAPPEN?????????????????? Probably not. Dont worry though, we have toast, so we happen to have a head start in the race.....

I noticed what you did when i looked. Just wondering, were you unhappy with your evo when you got it? or did you just make a new rom to give everyone another choice of rom? or maybe even your personal, like i do sometimes? Just curious.....
@ops. I never spoke ill of your work, jic you took it that way, im not that guy. I appreciate any contributions to the community and have spent months of my own time staying up finishing up things ive been working to complete my self in order to ul and share with the community. Needless to say, I KNOW WHERE YOURE COMING FROM. When i can give us a new choice of rom or theme i too will begin work.....
I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!
its called patience.
to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.
You also have to remember that out dev section is split between the o2x and g2x. These two forums should be combined.

I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

The Vibrant has been out for 10 months. The G2x has been out for barely 2.
Development will come.. It takes some time though. Not every Android dev has the cash to buy a new phone every time one comes out.

Closer to 3 weeks. It's amazing how some people think it is easy to develop a rom.
It would help if anyone could build a kernel from the lg source that didn't break wifi and bt. All attempts have failed.....
I actually thought the opposite, I thought development is going great!
I don't remember really seeing any major development for the Vibrant until after 2 Months!
And we already have a. 2.3.3 and a 2.3.4 Rom out!
Just saying!

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.

Issues from cm9.
videos cannot be decoded with hardware acceleration, software acceleraiton works fine(use MX video player)

Thanks.
Aww man, data not working Thats a no go for me right there.......
Thanks anyways for the hardwork! Hope you fix it soon! The ui looks fantastic btw, great job!
wao who rated 1 star -_-, this is the reason i took down the gb build. this only has data not working, the rest perfectly fine( of whats working on cm9).
ATM = Aynchronous Transfer Mode? if so, does that mean data works in general (sync) but not in Async mode?
Is that a CM9 issue?

I was wondering why that thread died down.
Honestly dude, if you can't handle negative criticism then I'm not sure why you bother posting your work. In no way am I saying your roms are bad or anything, I haven't even tried them yet, but what I'm getting at is that there are always people that do not like it or whatever.
My advise to you is that you ignore those people, don't let negative comments discourage you and whatnot. Removing your gb release because people were complained about it seems a little childish. No offense
Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thanks!

Then you need to just remove the two Roms that don't have data if your just going to abandon them. I don't understand the point of posting them with no data if you don't plan on at least fixing them. Just saying.

OK guys, here goes. I've been experimenting with alotta ROMs lately, mostly ICS. In time I've realized that we never have the features that we paid for, mainly 1080p recording. If the phone doesn't oporate the way we paid for it to (And I paid full price) then is it not a waste to flash the ROM?
I love the speed and battery efficiency I get from the devs and I'm blown away by the amount that they've accomplished, but I've been recently contemplating falling back to stock simply because I'll have the awesome camera. I'd even settle for a top notch Sensation ROM. I know this sounds like a complainer thread, but I've been really losing morale with this device. It seems there will be no more hard KB devices so I might defect to a One S or wait for a One S equivalent from T-mobile. What do you guys think?
I will never give up my keyboard. You leave if you like. And these custom roms are supposed to give our phone something it would've never had otherwise. A functioning ICS rom. If you can't live without everything working, then you should stick to stock or stock tweaked. (I can't use 1080p even if it was working. Don't have a fast enough card )
Rom building and compiling takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention skill.
Essentially, these fine devs are doing the work HTC and T-Mobile were never going to do. Lazy greedy scum they are

I personally don't think that it's a waste to flash these ROMs. Mainly because IMO (aside from 1080p recording) we're really getting more than what we paid for if you think about it. All the features that are available with ICS alone would have made this device more expensive to begin with off the shelf. Then add features of CM9 that these devs are cooking into the ICS ROMs or the features of Sense/ICS ROMs combined together...I think we it's a great thing what's been accomplished.
If 1080p recordning is the main thing you really want then I'd follow the previous suggestion and flash stock or go with a modded stock ROM. There will be no defecting for me. I love physical keyboards! I use mine daily in one way or another.
Even if it comes to the point that nothing on this device is supported anymore I will have this phone lol. We have enough to be used as DDs. So all in all for me, I don't think these ROMs are a waste to flash/use.

This is why I use Bulletproof. It has everything we paid for, and is much more stable and optimized than the stock rom. I would love to have an ICS rom, but I want everything to work on my phone. This is my choice. I am happy with using a GB rom, because my phone does everything I want it to. If it isn't broke don't fix it.

I'm sorta in the same boat as OP. I've flashed everything and found camera limitations with all of them, so I'm really waiting a 1080p fix with flawless camera otherwise before I go back to ICS. I really love how far everything has come this year in terms of development and it's much appreciated, but I don't plan on going back to an ICS ROM without a fully functioning camera. I have an 19 month year old son and just can't risk it!
My dream is ICS with Sense, but even just for a nice camera fix, I think I'd be okay without Sense.
Running Mik in the meantime. Bulletproof was nice except for the green tint to everything.
Hoping for a camera fix soon. Wallet will be opened then!

I am in north carolina, my dev computer is in pennsylvania. I bought yogi's doubleshot, he doesn't have one anymore.
I don't know what I have, but whatever it is it's hundreds of miles away and wholly unavailable.
If you want to host the UV kernels, they were made by yogi, but I'm sure it'll be okay - only issue is no sources, so...?
If it's kosher to link them up here, then feel free to host them and make a thread for it if you want, I have no issue with it, if it'll help someone that's what's important.
Just make sure to credit yogi, and make sure to be explicit about no support from the authors. I'm not quite in a position to do so yet with my new job, still absorbing a lot of data and training, so my brain and body are worn and exhausted after my shift ends in the morning.
I'll bring this to yogi's attention, or at least ask about it, but I don't see an issue with sharing it, provided the two requests I made above are filled.

Oh, not gonna quote the whole OP yet again in the thread on page 1... But...
Op - if you feel something is lacking, you are in the place to give you the best shot at figuring out how to make it do what you want.
As far as getting all the features you paid for, well, you paid htc or tmobile, or a little of both, or you bought it secondhand, but the money was originally collected by one or both of those entities. If you use the software they provide, then you get what you paid for.
Using an alternate software version, like what you find here, actually gives you much more then what you paid for it - for you paid nothing, and got a whole lot in return.
You can jump in and help the active devs solve problems, or wait until they do, but the argument about getting whatever value you invested real money into evaporates the moment you flash any non-stock OS.

To be fair, I never used this feature before I flashed CM9, and I continue to not need it. Cameras, to me, are just a bonus. I just want a faster phone with better battery life.
i know we had a thread and everything reguarding this and the p990 (2x), however the changelog on BBQLog has the p999 G2x actually implemented into the menu for devices. this is good news for us that have been waiting patiently !!
click LGE and its there offically
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#
Was it not there before? And I wouldn't get too excited, the Optimus One is listed there also and I HIGHLY doubt that is going to get official CM10
I believe that's still the cm7 changelog.
It just says cm10
It wasn't there before. When the 2x got close it was there. It wasn't there a couple days ago, that's for sure.
Perhaps for cm7, even if it is for a nightly once a month.

It is certainly new look at the log dates there is work being done today also the work has been done every few hours apart.
No, no and no.
The entry in the BBQLog has been there for quite some time.
If you knew how it worked, you'd also know that all of those changes are generic and have absolutely jack squat to do with the p999.
Try selecting a different, unrelated device if you don't believe me. You'll see the same changes. Maybe more as other devices have cm10 changes checked in.
None of the changes I see on BBQLog say anything about the p999 getting cm10.
My money is on "ain't gonna happen". If it was going to happen, we'd have heard something by now from Ricardo or others. The fact that there's been silence basically tells me that there's a huge roadblock and nobody wants to take the heat for coming out publicly and killing off the G2X's last hope.
EDIT: If I'm wrong, I'll eat a sock.

I take the silence to mean that no one has really given it a go yet. I think if there was a huge roadblock, they wouldn't keep that a secret. Just today someone posted an unrelated G2X comment on one of RC's G+ posts... If he had tried and didn't think he could get it to work, I think he would have let us know, at least to shut us up a little bit.

That's not necessarily the case. Letting people know this device is hopeless could also cause more people to bug him.
This speculation is unwarranted anyhow. I am however curious to why there hasn't been an update on CM10 for us. I do think that likely there was an unexpected encountered problem like the call bug issue on the O2x and still persisting WiFi drain.
And I have two other devices running a full working CM10, and besides the working camera and better battery life, they really aren't that different in terms of fluidity. If RC releases a ported CM10 for us it will likely still have most of the same issues.
We just have to patient. I mean, I don't have the money to buy another device, so I have no choice. If you have had the opportunity to jump ship... why *Haven't* you already? It's been nearly a full year since LG dropped this phone from support and we found out Nvidia won't share drivers, and some of you are still here complaining?

Just today someone posted an unrelated G2X comment on one of RC's G+ posts... If he had tried and didn't think he could get it to work, I think he would have let us know, at least to shut us up a little bit.

Never think you understand what an angry programmer will do. They are not like regular people and won't feel at home on earth until the mothership picks them up.
Since ics official for p990 gonna come shortly, I guess latest we get what we want is sometime after source drop.
Beyond that I can't comment on what I don't know. I won't be buying an lg product for two reasons now though.

Yea I figured he's going to use official p990 sources first to fix up cm10 for o2x, then hopefully port to our phone.
Hopeful speculation.

Idk about original post but 2 things bugs me and this is my first/last time complaining: 1. Its been about a month and not a single word. An yes,no, maybe would be enough so I would atleast know to whether hope patiently or dont hope and 2. I cant do anything about it :'( ow well lol
Agreed just a simple yes after p990 is up and running and no ETA would be all I would need. Sorry I know I will get flamed for this but I can't hold back..... RC is a xxxxxxxx for never answering his over 50 or so inquire's about p999 .... I stopped counting at 50. Even a " I will get to it in time" would be something.

Allow me to play devils advocate....
I don't see anything wrong with people just wanting an update. Even a plain "yes we will eventually get to the p999" just so people are not waiting in vain. That would probably put out a lot of the repetitive "When are we getting cm10" questions. A lot of people are patiently waiting for an update, or a word, or anything and it would be nice to know for sure that something will be done eventually. Right now it just comes across as the project is dead in the water.
I am not bagging on the developers btw. They are awesome because they do this stuff for free and on their spare time, but it would only take a minute to put the word out, if it's a go or not. Just saying...

The moment they say "No", the mass exodus would begin. I wish they'd just come out and say "No" so that this subforum would quiet down.
The p990 just got dropped again from CM support, so doubt we'll get it.
Does RC know that the G2x is also experiencing the bug sound? Maybe some one can port it over to check. It's the only thing holding it back from being Stable.

P990 General thread, "CM10 User Thread" Tony said it himself.
I suggest you guys start looking over at their threads, because not much is happening here other than complaining.

The P990 won't get CM10 properly working until the ICS source drops for the phone. Luckily there have been rom leaks, but who knows how long it's going to take LG.
And then IF they get the sources we MIGHT get a fully working CM build.
Don't hold your breath guys, a lot of stars have to line up before we'll get anything.
