Rom?

Any suggestions on which one I should run? I really want a miui but that'll have to wait. I reallly was a cm7 fan on the mt4g but I hear its still too buggy...
Thoughts? ?

I haven't even put nvflash on my phone yet so no it wouldn't be that fast and I was asking personal opinion on roms not on what I can do with my time.

I can only speak for eahlesblood and cm7. Cm is stable but keyboard lag and battery meter are annoying. Eb froyo is pretty good. Im a cm addict so that makes be biased.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

faux's is not based off CM his is AOSP built from scratch it has 2.3 camera and macro shots and such are still available only issue I see with Faux's rom is battery tells the wrong battery level, be at 76% and after a reboot have 64% but thats alot of roms dont know about stock, and I can live with it. seriously best rom yet.

I believe faux's rom is more of a hybrid. He took some stuff from aosp source and some from cm source (like the kernel I believe)

Smoothest basic ROM?

My dad just bought the wind mobile version of this phone. What is a smooth basic ROM you guys would recommend for him? he doesn't need anything fancy
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I like weapon but you could always start with the basic rooted stock rom and go from there.

I suggest eaglebloods latest rom, which can be found in the development section of the g2x. It is extremely smooth and stable. I would also use faux123 4.6 kernel with that rom.

Must try Tsugi. It is a pretty basic rom but is blazing fast and reliable. It has never crashed on me as long as I have been running it. Can't say enough good things about it.

I've heard great things about Tsugi! So +1. I've tried Weapons, wasn't my cup of tea. Froze quite alot in the early builds.

Really? This poor horse...

I use Weapon 3 which is based on stock Android 2.3.3 with Faux123-0.1.3 recompiled kernel. It has very good battery life, is fast, and very stable.

Galnet MIUI, it really is impressive
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

After trying both Tsugi and Weapon, I personally prefer Tsugi. It seems to work slightly better for me, and I overall seem to have fewer issues. The LG Camera also seems to work slightly better on it although I can't point to any definitive area, other than the fact it has a panorama mode (which only sort of works).
Weapon is great if you want to run Touchwiz, which I find makes more sense to people who don't know what they're doing. Another big deal is that Tsugi doesn't have the shutdown issue where when the phone runs out of battery instead of turning off the screen just goes black and drains the battery more. This may or may not cause damage to the battery, but it's not worth the risk.
Just my two cents

i would say eagle

Jboxer's 2.3.4 LG Colorized is what I settled on after trying pretty much every current ROM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

I would say leave it alone. usually the one originally on there is the safest and most stable. I have installed the latest nightly build 201 from cm. Its for me and I know what to do if something is wrong.
My wife's android phones I always kept at stock for her so whenever there is an issue its easier to fix.
Just stay stock bud and your dad should be fine ok?

Miui.us is Da best so far with trinity kernel,axura, then tsugi? There's a mess of them? Lol

I would stick with what you have for a short while longer.
UCLA 2.3.6 update just hit, so lots of ROM's will go through wipe-only updates and new ROM's will be released.
SkyICS is the flashiest, coolest ROM IMO that still manages to be stable and quick.
RedSonja is a bit more blah (aside from cartoons) with the theme and tricks/gimmicks/addons, but looks like it was just rebuilt for UCLA 2.3.6 update. So if you have to flash something, that is the one I'd try right now.

I'm digging NexusM0D 3.0 after trying a couple of different ICS-Themed ROM's.

I'd give Skycoke a try. To be honest SkyICS and Coke are the only two I've used but I've developed a serious Coke habbit. It's clean, fast and stable.
I'm sticking with it until there's a true ICS release.

I like that one a lot also.
But I was getting random, infrequent force closes. Mostly on superuser.
Anything Seanzcreams dev's is going to be pretty good. But he's not around for a few weeks I think. So no new updates for awhile.

Sean will be back in April after the tour w chimaira. Skyics is very stable and clean though.

I really liked sky ics, and nexus mod 2.0. Tpc is really good as well but the dev moved on so no updates. If you like eye candy try one of the sky versions or nexus mod.

what Rom do you guys recommend if i am looking for stability, battery life and lots of customization (tweaking wise not graphics wise)...
i am using sky ics 7.4 speed... its very flashy and has lots of graphics stuff i dont really need but its draining my battery like crazy. i can barely go 10 hours without charging.

Try using the stock skyice. I am using this version and the battery life is awesome. Best batter life I have had with any android phone.

yeah i am running speed at the moment ...going to downgrade to stock.
the problem i am having is that my phone never goes to sleep...! i am trying to find what causes the wake lock...with the screen off is still draings batter like crazy...
i have my eyes on the call recorder...could that be the culprit?

Idk...its gotta be some app that you downloaded though...cant be a system app since those come on the rom and mine is fine.

i just uninstalled a buch of stuff and reset battery stats. Looks like now the device is actually going to deep sleep like its supposed to.

thx for the help.

2 much to Choose
I like the stability of SkyIce 7.4 Lots of eye candy. Right now using StokMod-2-UCLA3, hoping that ICS will be released soon. I Wipe about once a week just for the variety. Only Bricked the SkyRocket i727 once before the 30 days was up.
Wish I would have waited for the note.

Personally I prefer the Tmob roms. The ones here feel pretty much all the same to me too imo. There are some pretty interesting ones over there like Tuesday, Juggs and ParadoxII. Really nice themes and features too. You just need to flash our kernel or else your rotation is all outta wack. I find there is more action over there. Although the roms we do have might be less original they are pretty rock solid.(props to our devs) The only downside to the Tmob is you lose the LTE icon (still getting the speeds just no icon changing) which I couldnt care less

codename and nexus beam seem really smooth. right now im on nexus beam and im loving the smoothness, but its based on an old version of cm9 so there is little customization. if you want customization id go with codename

The latest version of Nexus Beam is really nice and extremely smooth.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried Codename-- yet-- because I'm already happy with the Nexus Beam ROM.
It has decent WiFi strength & solid battery performance.
I might give the other a try-- if I get bored with Nexus-- but I certainly don't feel like I NEED to do it any time soon.

Codename is prettier than Nexus Beam and also SEEMS faster and smoother, but both are slower than GB. I think whoever programmed ICS put kludge routines in the kernel to induce people to buy faster phones. NOT OUR DEVS! some technicians at Google, I suppose. Hint though -- kernel needs overclocking added.

Notes about 'awake' time between these 2 roms:
Codename build-1 kept 'awake' all the time, Beam pre-final is better, but still on and off for 'awake', longer for 'on' than 'off'. Codename build-2&3 got into deep sleep with no 'awake'. So, in terms of battery performance, recommend to go with Codename build-3, also better than other ics roms.
PS phone condition for the comparison: during the night time, wifi off, data off, airplane mode off.

Trying out code name to see how it runs

No - it's apparently so secret that you don't know about it.

I was kidding about running that ROM at the moment, but it was the Froyo ROM I used the most until we finally got the KJ6 drop and the custom roms that came with it. It was so smooth and looked so good, I couldn't get enough of it.

Just wanted to keep this thread alive by saying that after trying out both recent builds of both roms , nexus beam seems to be better with on screen time but tuks rom was better with off screen time. I need someone else to confirm this

Gingebread ics or jellybean

I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread?

I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.
I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.

Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

I have stuck with stock one on both my droids. I find these roms useless because I have always found an app that can do what these roms can do

i try most roms out thier , the best are slim cm9, remics 1.1 both ics

Whatif the phone's rom memory gets a few bad blocks due to repetitive flashing?

Remics is probably one of the best roms I've seen put out for nexus s, so nice , but I just feel the need to switch sometimes. And I had no idea that that would effect my phone

true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!

Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.

AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.
