I'm getting frustrated with the daily random reboots of my G2x running stock gingerbread. Does CM 7.2 resolve this? I've been holding off waiting for the official ICS to release so I can install CM10 but I'm getting impatient... Also, do I have to reinstall all my apps, and is my data erased?
Thanks!
I don't think random reboots will ever be solved 100% for this phone. However comparing stock 7.2CM vs other Roms I've used for the G2X, it has been the most reliable and stable for me. The phone still crashes or reboots once every 2-3 days for me usually, when I'm running cpu/gpu intensive apps but almost never when its idle.

No, I haven't yet. I think that i will sometime this weekend. Are there any good guides that I can follow? The one that is stickied says that it is outdated. I am running the latest baseband and software.
Just installed cm 7.2 with faux kernel 52... we'll see how this goes :laugh:

You can't make such a bold statement, and not include info like what ROM you're running and other relevant info. There's also no need to start a new thread...there's already a thread on the Gingerbread kernel in the development section.
So, because you're having problems, you want to warn everyone on problems that no one else is having??..
Faux's kernels are working just fine for me.
Faux's Kernels are fine. Update and don't listen to this Guy.

WOW. Really, Really ???
Running without a kernel...That's amazing...
Faux's kernels are rock solid...Running 2.5.1 since release and NO issues...
then why has my mytouch freezing alot when i get it out of sleep
Plus i am on RoyalGinger V1.6
OP is an idiot. Faux kernel works fantastic. If you have problem with the rom, ask in the rom thread. Don't try and talk about something you don't understand.

Had problems with it the other day. Running stock rom. Kept losing signal and data. Wifi stopped after about 10 minutes and had to restart the phone just to get it working again. Went back to what I was using before and problem went away.
Not sure what the real deal was as I have NEVER had a problem with his kernal.

The kernel being discussed here is faux's Gingerbread version.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Mytouch 4G forum that was specifically for roms, kernals, and any other type of hacking? Oh wait there is one and this thread is in the wrong forum.

you're a retard.. the reason why your phone is freezing on lockscreen, is cause you either have setcpu installed & have your screen off settings too low! don't have Max set below 368, which 245 freezes your phone! set min& Max to 368 and you will not get any freeze ups and save a lot of battery also! try it!
just don't make a thread about smashing someone's kernal who works so hard to make it for us! faux has great kernals, & you should give him the credit.
Lol sorry. Was on latest cm when tried it. Long day forgot what all I went through with this. Went back to stock rom after it was screwing up. Prolly try again with cm and this kernal. Think maybe it was a bad download causing the problem for me. Although would think I would get some kind of error when installing it.

First check whatever Rom is fully downloaded. Then check to make sure you fully downloaded the kernel. Make sure you have the proper kernel for your rom. Make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the proper kernel when it boots up let everything load for 4-5 minutes then reboot. If your using a low voltage version try stock version. Also use the cfs kernel and not bfs since your phone is lagging.

Yes you can. Actually if you we're running a custom ROM you would need to revert back to a stock ROM, rooted or not. Any who, Google LG update tool. Install that and drivers for g2x and follow the prompts from the LG tool and that should do it.

I'd go with the new bb I switched a few days ago and since my phone is working MUCH better
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Been on the new BB for a week and I'm really happy I switched... GPS... more signal bars and call quality much improved
Sent from my LG-G2x using Tapatalk 2
I miss my bluetooth connectivity but that aside the new BB is the absolute bizness (for all the reasons previously stated). The phone even seems to handle OC'd kernels better.
I still get occasional shut down or random reboot on New Baseband with CM7.2 Official Stable
i agree with dark ma++er about missing the bluetooth with the new BB, but i have had it for a few weeks now and im running CM7.2 nightly 20120617 (i guess that is or will be 7.3?) and faux kernel without any issues whatsoever, and it overclocks wonderfully, does not overheat, reboot, lockup, nothing. solid as a rock and loving it!
just curious if theres a finished cm9 or cm10 mod for the htc one s or if they are all still working out the bugs right now. i tried looking some up but only found a couple that seem to still be a work in progress
Well since the ones you saw that there were still bugs in some..you are safe to assume that there's no completely working ROM. There are only little kinks, not major bugs like data not working or something.

CM10 is producing official nightlies. I have been using it as my daily driver since the first day they started nightlies, and have very few (if any) issues. The occasional hiccup here and there, but nothing that stops me from using it as a daily driver. And I am on my phone constantly, mainly for work.
Here's the link to the download for official CM10: http://get.cm/?device=ville
Remember, because it's nightlies there is an updated version everyday. Sometimes big changes, more often than not little stuff.
Here's the changelog: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#ville/cm10/next
When downloading, be sure to use the NIGHTLIES and not EXPERIMENTAL (if you are looking for stability).
I also recommend using Fusion Kernel with this rom. Works wonders.

I agree with the above post. There is no reason not to use CM10 on the One S. I rocked it for a long time and it really is a pleasure to use. My only problem with CM10 is the camera doesn't perform as well as the stock camera. I tend to take a lot of pics and thus have gone back to a Sense-based ROM and now am just waiting for the moment HTC releases their Jelly Bean Sense update.

1st boot will take a couple minutes. It boots up quickly every time after. Are you using TWRP or CWM recovery?

hey guys! first timer here. I just installed EB ICS 4.0.4 Build 5. Everything is great but it seems that my data speed is far slower than before on the stock 2.3.4. The speedtest results in a lower than 1MBPS, like around 700 and lower. It used to be at least 2 MB. Is this an issue with anyone else? Also, what information do you need from me?

Hello, yesterday I was on my phone when it suddenly just seemed to shut off. I have cm10, and want to get rid of it and go back to stock. can i go back to the stock ics rom instead of gingerbread, and be able to do it on cm10 at the time? i can restore to the time i had my phone just rooted and stock ics. i just dont want to go through the trouble of going back to gingerbread stock rom and then updating to ics stock rom through kies. thanks in advance.
side question: is it normal for my phone to randomly shut off on cm10? from what i hear, its the screen of death. it happened to me 2 days after i flashed cm10 and then happened yesterday. (i flashed cm10 last month). if it occurs this often im going back to stock. im fine with the t mobile apps as long as no random reboots occur.
Just restore a backup it will work fine

Sorry to hear but the nightlies are very stable and with use of one of the custom kernels (lz or blue lightning) the phone is stable. If you decide to go back to stock ROM good luck with everything

I too have been experiencing what appears to be the SOD. The bottom "soft buttons" light up and the phone is dead. I have to perform a forced reboot to get it working. I am running CM 10-20130804 but it was happening on nightly builds before this version as well. It happens every few days for me. I keep hoping the next build will make it go away but it always comes back. I even posted the issue in the CM 10 thread but no one had any ideas other than a complete wipe and reinstall and i would rather not do that for CM10. I am waiting for the 10.2.....
mine shut off less frequently than yours. my question is: can i download stock ics rom from sammobile and use that through odin? i dont want to use stock gingerbread rom and then update through kies.

Truly amazing its almost a year. The cm10.2 ROM and variations are pretty stable for alpha builds. Once the camera is fixed we should be good to go.

bump. final question is what do i need to delete to leave no traces of being rooted before? is it safe to delete the clockworkmod folder in my phone files?

The quote-unquote "Stable" build was not stable at all. It was captured before it was supposed to. Something like 2 or 3 nightly builds after that they incorporated the SOD fix into the kernel.
The latest nightly for CM10 is 100% stable as far as SOD, reboots, crashes, etc. I didn't ever have any problems with it up until I flashed beanstalk. I encourage you to give the latest nightly a chance before you go back to 4.0.4, but it's ultimately your choice
