[Q] G2x Rom?? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hello, I would like to know what custom rom would be best for the LG G2x. I am currently using Hellfire Sandwich 1.9. I want to know what you guys/gals think is a really good stable/smooth rom for the G2x.
thanks

I run cm7. Seems to have the least bugs/problems. I just like to use all the cool things my device has in it.

If Faux52 gives you problems (It did for me), try Trinity ELP.

sorry to bother again lol, but im kinda a newbie at this, do you have a link for the kernels? and also do i install the kernel after the cm7 rom?

I personally run the cm10 nightly build 4 since it finally stable but for ICS I would suggest paranoid android ICS. If u r looking for gingerbread, might I suggest MIUI for 2.3.7, it runs smoothly with no bugs (well for me). Hope that helped

Yeah, you install the kernel after the cm7 rom. What I did was install cm7 and gapps (The Google Play store and all google apps) first and booted to make sure that everything was working. Then I turned off my phone, booted back into Clockworkmod (By holding down volume down and power button) and flashing the kernel zip.
here's the link to trinity kernel:http://goo.gl/XqDn2
And personally, I would stick to Gingerbread for the time being, ICS and CM10 are still pretty buggy. Once the official ICS comes out, we will be getting a stable CM10 build, but until then I would stick to gingergread.
Here's some info I posted in another thread:

I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Nope, you have to install gapps seperately. It's because of google licensing issues. I'm pretty sure most ROMS are that way.

Before jumping right to Trinity and telling others to do the same, did you bother trying an older release? I used build 48 & 50 for a long time myself.

I didn't because I had already installed trinity at that point, and it is working fine for me so I see no need to install an older faux kernel at this point.

You can install a kernel whenever you want, just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache each time, you don't have to start from scratch. Good for testing issues and just for generally testing new kernels.

Hey.trust me.try tdj's 7.2 rom.
I'm on the 12/30/11 build(for some reason the camera is very sharp compared to later builds/don't know why,just seems that way to me).
But flash his 7.2.you wont regret it.
Then IMO try flashing his newest cm7 kernel available from Dev host.
Then send him a fat check so he will continue to crank out goodies.
I would but I'm sending all my extra cash to Zimbabwe to my adopted son iqtumbe mfumu.
Really try his cm 7.2 kang. Its great.

Go to tdj's thread for kernels,click to download from there,once at dev host,click on tdj not on dl.

[Q] Advice

I need advice on which build to download of ICS? I had the original Cyanogenmod9 but the music and camera features were too buggy. I am having trouble finding the updated build for it. I also need the latest GAPP files as well. Can you someone help me out?
There's a few different threads on this. You need to READ, your previous two posts in this forum were useless as well, had you read then you wouldn't have needed to post.
There's plenty out there, but one that I don't recommend for now is EaglesBlood. It's a great first build, but it still has its bugs.

Some recommendations
You can find a link to the 2/15 ics gapps in this thread:
x0xHELLx0x's ROM Guide - G2X tweaks / mods / apps
On the ICS ROM's I recommend Hellfire Sandwich v1.2. Have been using this as a daily driver for a little while and no problems. Look here:
HellFire Sandwich v 1.2 p999 4.03(Facebook Sync )22512
One other suggestion, please learn to to use the search functions. The links above are very easy to find.
PartzMan2
Phone: rooted G2x
ROM: Hellfire Phoenix v1.2
OC: 1200Mhz

Ya same here, loving the hard work our devs put out to make ics more stable every day. But I just can't get rid of this Hellfire Phoenix rom, its been an unforgettably stable (perfect) rom since the beginning.
Really greatful to doniccq too since he taught xohellox to dev for the g2x, and his eaglesblood rom is equally as great.

No custom kernel on stock?

I have never used a stock rom unless I bought a new phone and was working on installing a custom one, so I'm new to stock roms. I have the stock JB rom and I tried to flash air kernel to my device. As I was booting up, it wouldn't go past the Google splash screen. Are custom kernels not supported on stock roms?
Sent from my A500
I've flashed custom kernels on rooted stock plenty of times. It may just be that Air Kernel is having issues with some phones. I know SimpleKernel works, but it's basically stock with BLN and Voodoo. A few people on JellyBelly ROM had issues with Air Kernel too, so it's not just stock that's having issues with it.
OK. Do you know if matr1x kernel works or not?

Until LG officially releases ICS for the G2X, not a single ICS Rom currently out there is "Stable" by how you're using it. There are some GREAT ICS Roms out there for the G2X, but they all share the same problems (No HW Accel for video, Video Recording being bleh, etc.)

I've tried 4 different ICS roms. None are "stable". Some are slow and laggy and others freeze and reboot. GPS doesn't lock quickly either.
Flashed back to stock 2.3.4 rom and everything works as intended.

Sick of Lag

Ok so I've had it with my phone lagging, I'm running aosp 4.1 JR00L. Is 4.2 any better?
I've been only hearing good things about rasbean and trinity kernal, so can somebody please link me to it because I can't find it in the developer section.
If I don't like rasbean then can I just download cm from their website and flash cm7/cm9 (I don't have to flash any other stuff like gaps, or a new kernal do I?)
I appreciate the help.
here is the link of rasbeanjelly
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=crespo
if you flash cm7 or cm9 you'll have to flash gapps.
How do you flash your roms? And what kernel do you use? Try running bedalus kernel as it has bigmem. This can reduce lag as well.
And you'll definitely like rasbeanjelly with trinity kernel.
Rom: see above link
Trinity Kernel: www.derkernel.com
Bedalus kernel: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AntDDKv-lS6IdEt6NWVkX01vNmpfbEh4MHo4eDRCbXc (choose 6.2 for any rom)

Hi,

And when lag happen(eventually it will), try different kernels since every phone is moody on what kernel it accepts.
