If you're looking for a more aesthetic ROM then I'd go with MIUI (im assuming that's what you meant). If you're looking for functionality and stability I'd go with cyanogenmod. MIUI is based off of cyanogenmod although it's not as stable. Also if you prefer the stock vanilla android experience CM7 is closer to stock than MIUI.

miui still needs work, iv had problems starting from rebooting while in call and battery life is not to great.
cm7 is the more stable never had a reboot and battery life one time lasted 1 day 15hrs!

I'm the opposite. MIUI has been very good to me in performance, stability, and battery life. CM7 reboots and has horrid APN problems for me. Just my experience though. In general they are both great ROMs.
Try both and see what you like!

MIUI is only at its early stages of development thus this ROM looks promising. On the other hand, Cm7 will just get better and better. I've tried both and I can say CM7'S latest releases have been really snappy, together wirh the wonderful work of great DEVS its just gonna bring out the best of G2X/NVIDIA TEGRA

Should make the distinction that I was talking about the Whitehawkx's MIUI port. Way more stable than the alpha2 in the dev section.

The only problem I ever had with minuit was really sloe GPS. Which is something I NEED. So that was a buzz kill

Did you try the gingerbread gps fix? I just delete my old gps data and redownloaded and it locks just as fast as froyo

Yea I'm with regP Miui has been really good to me, cm7 was good also but I just prefer Miui with ease to customize it.
Hope that helped.....

Miui is based off CM7.
CM7 is more stock like but with additional features and functions built in.
Miui has a iPhone feel.
I think MIUI was built by the Chinese to make cheap iPhone clones that were actually androids. The software became popular and flourished. It has come a long way since I used it last.
I actually have an up to date CM7 build as my daily driver, saves as a Nandroid backup... as well as the latest MIUI. I have both saved and can restore from CWM to go back and forth.
MIUI is still new for the G2x and has some kinks. I hear an official release will be soon. It works pretty well, in my experience, but has some problems keeping a cellular data connection that requires a reboot. CM7 went through the same growing pains and has overcome that problem so it is only a matter of time before MIUI does the same.

I agree miui looks sweet but until they fix the issues with data and wifi I'd go with cm tons and tons of support for cm vs. Little support for miui .... just my 2¢
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me... "

whats gingerbread gps fix?

I have been running MIUI 1.7.26 and have not had any of the issues that other people are having. Wifi works great and so does cell data. Also, GPS locks within seconds for me.
The only issue I have is that wifi calling is not working. This is a know issue though and will be fixed today.
Oh, one other thing to mention, I am running the newest G2x Baseband so that may have something to do with it.

[Q] Best ICS Rom for G2X?

I have been running the HFS rom since v1, and for the most part it's been very nice. However, I was saddened to learn today that the dev will not be working on the g2x anymore. I know there are a few other ICS roms available, but I do not know a whole lot about them as I've mostly been in the HFS forum. If this dev does in fact leave, which ROM would you recommend for replacement (ICS only plz) and why? (highlights and lowlights to be aware of??)
Thanks!! (hopefully this information will help out a lot of people)

I could be wrong but didn't the HellFire ROMs come from the Phoenix Blood ROMs? If they did then they took queues from EaglesBlood. That would be the one I would recommend. I am currently on a Gingerbread MIUI ROM but anytime I want to used a CM based ROM I always go with EaglesBlood because it has always seemed really stable and gets good battery life. The dev also is quick to respond and does his best to fix any problems. Just as an FYI there are 2 versions of EaglesBlood ICS:
This one is based off of the AOSP source code Here
This one is based off of the CyanogenMod CM9 source Here
Hope this helps!

I doubt hell is going to end his rom. All the cm9 based ROMs are about the same. AOKP is pretty nice. I like the clean and bare bones AOSP thing that eagle's blood has going on. Really these are just toys for now tho.

As of right now I would have to agree its been pretty stable for the past 26 hours for me.

as of now which one is the best?
i have been using eaglesblood build 3 however the camera doesnt work... wehre can i get Owain's CM9 KANG? any recommendations for a daily rom?

I'm a faithful user of Owain's ICS builds. I've had issues, but nothing I couldn't live with.

I don't know where you heard that hell is not working on the g2x. He's still putting out updates consistently and it has been getting a lot better, we're getting linaro next build!

That was posted over two months ago and at the time some drama between various users started and future development of HFS was in question

you got that right thats what im running

I have tried both EB and HFS and I really like both but HFS had a few more options but in my opinion EB runs a bit smoother

i've used pretty much all the ICS roms on here and by far the best have been Genesis and HFS

I'm not sure if I like Domination or HFS better because I haven't used HFS since 1.7 and I've been on Domination for quite sometime now. I'll be on HFS once the next update comes out. HFS has always been a favorite of mine, but Owain's ROM tempted me over and I've been on it since.
Genesis is really cool, but I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one.
I actually haven't tried EB since build 1. Maybe if I get bored, I'll switch to it again sometime, but I'm pretty happy with Domination and HFS.

In my opinion you just have to use some roms and find which fits your feel the best. I've went through maybe 3-4 ICS roms before finally sticking with ASOP 4.0.4 EaglesBlood for the (in my opinion) battery life and performance.

My phone loves Domination by Owain94, all others seem to not agree with mine so just try all of them and see what she likes

I agree. I tried HFS and it was really laggy on my phone. Performance wise eagles blood was much better.

until there is a rom that EVERYTHING is fully functional, i'll pass on ICS for right now.

[Q] Is Cyanogenmod9 worth it?

So i've been doing some research about cyanogen mod 9 for my HTC desire and have read all the people's comments about how good it is but an still not convinced. I mean that i've heared that cyanogenmod 9 does not make your camera work. Thats a major set back isn't it? Also there are some other serious probs e.g WiFi, Google play apps e.t.c. So is cyanogenmod 9 worth all these troubles? Whats the up side?

The main benefit, is it gives people like me who own devices (samsung infuse) that dont get official ICS updates. It runs great on my device, and i prefer it to any other rom ive tried, but i use my sixaxis controller with my phone, and due to bluetooth not working im using CM7 til that issue is resolved. but in all honesty CM9 is the best custom Rom available for my device at least it you dont need bluetooth. it runs great and my battery life is great.

what about andriod apps. do apps run on such a firmware.
(espicially games)??

They certainly do! It's just like a normal ICS device - there's the Play Market and you can install any app suited for ICS
BTW, CM9 rocks, AOKP even more!

I Cyanogen 9 with my HTC ONE X. I also have problems with the Bluetooth works partially. After each ROM is different. Much like me, flash your phone to find THE right ROM.

Cyanogenmod 9 is brilliant if it's stable build. From your description they're still working on it,so I'd urge you be patient and try cyanogenmod 7 instead.
Or,check out MIUI4 rom if you're still interested in ICS

The matureness of CM9 depends also on the device you own, and the available or unavailable drivers - in your case it seems there are problems with the cam.
I suggest to get CM7.2 instead, till those problems are fixed on your device.

CM9 will always run as It provides you the best latest features from google.

Only "problem" I've experienced on CM9 on my Epic 4g is that Dead Space is no longer recognized as an authorized device. Other than that, I enjoy using it over GB. It feels like the interface makes "more sense," but of course that's just a personal preference.

I not a huge fan of CM9 ...as i ahev flashed in S2 couple of times ...but still the force close issue persist with the nightly builds(ICS)...!!

I can't wait for a stable build for the GS3! (yet I have to )

lets wait and see if they rocks or not

cm9
Using experimental cm9 build on Atrix. It's worth it, but it comes with sacrifices.
My phone is much much faster, smoother, and prettier. But at the cost of stability with the camcorder, and some obscure cm7 features.

CM10 came out quicker than CM9

as the title says. i was running CM7 on my DHD and my sensation for the longest time and was anxious for the CM9 release. i tried CM9 for a bit then decided to flash HNS and then Virtuous. my point is, CM9 still has a few bugs and CM10 beta has been released. will CM9 be left since CM10 will now be the focus? i was waiting for a solid CM9 rom to be released but i guess i'll see how the progress of CM10 comes along.
sent from the Nudy bar, one handed.

CM10 is still in alpha stages... very little important aspects even work
CM7 and CM9 are based on two completely different Android builds, CM10 based on JB is very similar to CM9 based on ICS

If the developers manage to get a fairly stable build of cm10 they may well move on to cm10 altogether. Does not make sense to develop cm9 anymore. Well unless there is something important in cm9 that cannot be fixed in 10

I thought I read somewhere that CM9 will still be worked on and right now they are looking to release the CM9 RC. CM10 was out quicker because it's base off of CM9 and is not a build from the ground up like it was for CM9. Because of this, they can use most of the build to work on CM10.

Cm9 is on RC2 now so I think cm9 came quicker and its basically fully stable. I use it as a daily

I second that. I stayed away from CM9 on the Sensation for a long time since it was just not quite stable/functional enough for me (stable maybe but some of the key functions weren't stable enough and battery life was killing me for a while).
Anyway, I installed CM9 RC2 late last week; I think the day it came out. Anyway... to the point... CM9 RC2 has been extremely stable for me, battery life has been great (not QUITE as good as some of the Sense-Less ROMs out there like Virtuous or ExtremeSensation but close enough). I much prefer a clean AOSP system anyway so I'm sticking with it.
With CM10 on the way I'm encouraged by the fact that we finally have a stable CM9 for them to build off of. Thanks to the whole crew who has been working on it!

What i dont like about cm9 is the overall volume... its very low compared to sense roms...

Hmm....the volume issue would be something worth investigating.

CM9 took quite a while for ROMs/kangs/unofficial nightlies to start appearing. This was because they needed to rewrite the whole CM source tree (the modifications CM makes to Android) from scratch. Jelly Bean, under the hood, is quite similar to ICS, so it's a lot lot easier to port things from CM9 to CM10. Porting things from CM7 to CM9 was almost, if not impossible.

download Volume+ from the play store, Ive used it for quite a while on lots of roms with no problem

[Q] Now that there is stable version of CM10 out for other devices...

Does that have any impact on the devs working on CM10 for our device? Or is that just cool, some other devices have stable CM10.

Seriously?(sarcasm)

Different devices have different source code which wouldn't really help our devs get a stable build if CM10. Right now our device doesn't have stability for jb, but I would expect it in the future. If we are to get a really good stable job ROM, we need our source code to be released.
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!

I've got ZERO expectations on us getting a fully working CM10 or later variant for our phone. I've resigned myself to the fact that CM7.2 is about as good as my phone is ever going to get.

I think we eventually will get it but at this point I don't expect anything.
Hopefully Tonyp will port the Stock ICS ROM from the O2x and Arcee will finally give us CM10. Rumor has it he is just trying to make it stable before bringing it here, but for all we know he's probably having trouble porting it over.
Anyone know how much smoother and faster CM10 is with the actual HW accelerations? I'm on the Paranoid Jellybean Hackfest and I honestly don't see much difference in fluidity than on my Galaxy S Blaze Running a full functioning CM10. We only have a few bugs, and not even the worst ones like random reboots or audio noise which some are experiencing with a full ROM.

Pretty much what he said. Or we'll get it mid next year. I'm done expecting that we'll get it. This phone is still awesome with cm7, and I'll probably have moved on to a different device anyway next year ;p.
