Hello, I'm interested in modding my G2X but there seems to be so many choices that I'm unsure of which one to use. I want something that's completely stable, I can't really afford to have my phone break permanently or constantly crash. Also will the Google play store still work with these mods? Thanks for your help!
Hellfire phoenix 2.3.7 with the patched stock camera for cm7. I have recently switched to this and really like it! Plus there is a new update coming soon for the phoenix.

Alright thank you, I was leaning towards that anyways. Is there a specific guide out there that would show me exactly how to go from stock 2.3.4 to Hellfire Phoenix 2.3.7?
I would say go with eglesblood 2.3.7 along with the 3.0 kernel for gb. I say this because more more stock then hellfire and generally has less force closes

hi guys im new to the galaxy s 4g, i just got it today and im looking for a complete stock version of android. froyo or gingerbread. i would rather have gingerbread but i cant find one lol. also how come i dont see a cm7 one? well if u guys can send me a link i would appreciate that. i looked in the development section and i didnt see a stock android one. also are they buggy or have any issues? i like this phone to be fast cause stock is laggy plus i dont like touchwiz. thanks
There is no cm7 rom as of yet. If your looking for a completely stock rom your phone came with one but if you want a super smooth fast rom look for the icbinb rom by team acid.

well i just want the stock build of gingerbread like the nexus s has. i dont want touchwiz at all.. its too laggy for me. i was hoping there was a stock build of gingerbread thats why i got this phone. but i guess i can wait for cm7 to get a rom going. thanks though
I am trying to do the same thing on my phone. My sister-in-law works for google and got one of the Nexus S phones that google gave away as a christmas present to all the employees and I wanted to get a copy of their ROM on my phone. Unfortunately, she has Verizon and gave her phone away to another co-worker who needed another one before I was able to snag it up from her I don't want to use some program that just flashes the new OS on top of the old one... That lags the phone and doesn't really do the trick (Like running windows modulator in Mac OsX.) I want to wipe the phone and load Android 3.2 onto my phone... anyone help please?!
If you don't like Touchwiz, you can install another launcher from the market, like Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Touchwiz is mostly just a launcher, it doesn't really slow down the phone.
If your phone is laggy, I'd try rooting it, and then uninstalling some of the bloat that comes on the stock rom.
just flash icbinb for froyo. delete tw after you get another launcher. i would say for a lightweight one, try zeam launcher
i went from sensation to g2x so I'm back here again but what is the best rom rite now? its been a long time so yea i don't know but you can you guys tell me
Cm7 to me does the job

I use CM7 as well, works great for me, but I really like ASOP and have used CM on my past 7 phones
First off, update the device with the LG Software Updater so you'll get the new baseband. Then you can flash any gingerbread ROM you'd like, and keep the new baseband.
From my experience I have tried xboarders 1.2.2, eaglesblood both 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, and of course CM7. They are all great roms. I have not used MIUI yet or any others but have heard good things about all of them. A Rom is really going to come down to personal preference. I am currently rockin CM7 and it is awesome! If you want to customize the look of your phone I would highly recommend giving CM7 a try. Remember, when installing CM7 to also install google gapps. That will allow you to link your google account to your phone. Try all the roms out. Once you have root it is super easy to flash whatever rom you want.
I am just posting this because i recently came from a Mytouch 4g. I got sick of HTC sense so now im going pure stock android. Just posting this because i know nothing about roms and such for this phone. Just wondering if someone could help me out which rom i should use, kernels, tricks, etc.... any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
Hello and welcome. Like I tell all newcomers to the G2x, this phone has its bugs, but with the right combination of rom and kernel, this thing can be a beauty. I personally am using a pre-rooted stock OTA GB along with faux123 0.1.3 kernel. However, all phones are different and so are users, so you will have to experiment to find out what works best for you and your phone. Have fun.

Thanks for info. as soon as my G2x comes in the mail i will be trying various roms and kernels to find out whats right for me.
Nice =)
I'm running the stock ROM and I love this phone! There are bugs but for raw performance and features this phone is awesome. It also helps that I paid nothing for it!

Well CM7 is always a good bet. Ive had great experiences with Weapon rom which is a more stock LG rom with tweaks.
MIUI is also working awesome. Im using 0.8.19 MIUI from the rom forum.
You'll need to NVFlash first which only takes a second. This installs a good clockworkmod recovery.
Then just download roms to SD and flash away.
No root required to start flashing. All custom roms have root access.

I had a friend make the banner for me, and he doesn't like other people using his work without his permission. But if you're trying to get your own banner, you just need to edit your signature, and insert the image.
My personal reviews:
CM Nexus 2.3.5: great rom, close to stock
Eaglesblood: lots of features
CM7: not for me, felt laggy
OMGB: fast and speedy, really close to stock with some nice features, but couldn't get data to work
Weapon: couldn't get data to work on my phone, I view it as Eaglesblood
MIUI: great, fast. ran into problems with battery life. Must of been the kernel.
Xboarder's Stock 2.3.3 rom: The current rom i'm using, quick, fast, and the closest to stock you're gonna get.
Hope this helps
Weapon G2X with faux's kernel is the best in my opinion. I'm getting 10+ hrs of battery even at 1.4 GHZ

New like you
I got my G2x in November and like you never messed with any ROM's or Kernels, basically never had a phone worth rooting so I never bothered to learn anything about it. Once I read the beginners guide on installing NVflash and CWM, I began flashing like crazy. I really liked CM7 and I am anxiously awaiting CM9. I got the fastest benchmark test with Eaglesblood and an OC kernal, but I just flashed this-
RG2x-MIUI v1.12.23 and so far I love it. I've never used MIUI before and so far it has been extremely smooth and looks awesome. This has the faux kernel built in and the benchmark test was almost as good as Eaglesblood. I did flash the CM7 camera and the Bravia hack and now the camera works as good as the stock GB one. However I don't think Wifi calling works. Hope that helps, I know you'll have fun like I did flashing all the different flavors out there!
Im using Eaglesblood with Faux123 0.4.7. Its really smooth no lag. Ive tried others but i always seem to come back to this one
I'm running weapon 3 with faux123 0.1.3 kernel at 1.4ghz and it runs great its fast and smooth and I get great battery life. I have also used miui and its a great rom as well.

Fitsnugly's CM7 Kang paired with either Faux or Trinity kernel is best for me.

I'm running CM7 and want to try Hellfire's ICS. How is it? Can someone provide a link.

Its badass! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501667
Good enough for a DD. But it does have some of it's minor quirks and bugs. Nothing too crazy though. Try it.
It is a great rom. By far the best alpha version of ICS for the g2x IMO. It is stable enough for a daily driver. I have been using it as such since versio 1.0. No maijor issues here
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
ive also been using HFS as a daily driver since 1.0 and loving it!!! i tried EB and AOKP but both of those only stayed on my phone for about an hour and a half, long enough to play around and figure out i wanna keep HFS on my phone. video recording and playback dont work yet on ICS roms without the proper drivers, but theres videocam illusion in the play store, its free and works. and theres mxplayer in the play store too for video playback, just gotta set it to use SW decoding instaed of HW. so go for it!! youll like it.
boot animation
love the rom!!!!!!!! but i have no boot animation. is this supposed to be or is it something i am doing wrong i have wiped and reflashed but still the same. but still great rom great work thank you made me fall in love with my g2x again

Did u flash a different kernel? If so was it morfics? By using all 'stock' rom and such you shouldnt have this issue. If so grab yourself a copy of the nullifier, link in my sig, nullify and reflash.. or just flash faux's kernel and replace the boot animation... and should be good...

this looks really great
Been using this ROM since the first day 1.4 was released and i have not had any major issues, a reboot here and there. nothing i was not doing with any other ROM. But ICS is sick, i don't think i can go back.
I tried it for a couple days, it can be laggy if you are trying to do a bunch of stuff at once. I guess that could be different depending on if you have your CPU at the stock frequency or not. Overall it is pretty nice though, if you don't mind some lag here and there its great. After all ICS wasn't released too long ago
Not too stable yet, but no ICS ROM is. Def a great ROM to see what ICS is all about. I tried EB and HFS and my phone liked EB better. I say its worth flashing and trying all ICS ROMS and seeing for yourself.
Pharaoh, thanks for the information on the kernel/boot ani. Would you mind posting a link to Faux's kernel you recommended for this rom, please?
Which is preferred, the new or old baseband and what is the difference? Please really need to know.

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

Been on the new BB for a week and I'm really happy I switched... GPS... more signal bars and call quality much improved

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!
