A year ago, the MT4G boards were extremely active, but we've seen a huge decline in popularity on these boards. Because of this, polls are no longer taken on who's everyone's favorite ROM is anymore and the MT4G Bible isn't being updated.
I was waiting a while before rooting my MT4G and decided to take the leap tonight. I flashed the JB Dark Unicorn ROM, and it's been disastrous. Every app I press comes up with "______ has stopped working" and I'm basically stuck there. (can't even post there for help since I have less than 10 posts)
I'm sure no one wants to go through the frustration that I'm going through, so I was wondering if we should have some type of poll to see which ROMs out there are the most popular and stables ones?

Well the Dark Unicorn ROMs are some of the most popular and stable ROMs. Rarely are there problems with them. Could you post what process you went through to wipe and flash?

good luck finding a fully working and stable ICS or JB ROM.
you can try Synthetic_aospX, it's about as stable as you can get with ICS

Second this rom. Quite stable and nearly everything works! I'd flash a different kernel though (AOSPX stock, mintchocolate chip), and its pretty damn awesome.
I will try soon
Synthetics ROM AOSPX is definitely the most stable ICS for glacier, IMO.

Go with cm7. By far the most polished of the glacier roms.
Also, on first boot, don't set up instantly. Let it sit there for 5 mins to settle. Makes a huge improvement in stability for me.

More polished? Nothing. But of the top of my head, aospx is AS polished. At least it was last time I tried it. Mind you, much of it's stability comes from the fact that it isn't super feature packed liked CM. Less addons = less potential issues. But again, aospx was always 100% trouble free for me.
That is a good idea though, buying devices based on official CM support :thumbup:

Good thing with cm7 is that it works right from the getgo no fixes or mods needed IMO.but A CM9 rom (port) like mimicry is good as long as you know what to add to it,,What I mean is if you dont add things like lowmic fix ,camera fix and a newer stable kernel such as frosted cherry with the 720 fix it pretty much sucks! with those mods/fixes it makes it pretty damn good and stable!No offense to Awesome but I havent had much luck with dark unicorn myself.
I agree that synthetic's aospX ROM is very stable. Stable enough in fact that my whole family is now using it.

If you recently purchased a Thunderbolt ....
You may be in the same boat as me, looking at rooting. Everyone is talking about gingerbread coming to our phones. I haven't seen an OTA as of yet, but it has leaked. located here->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1225752
Now,
I know that you can root very easy here->

and I would play close attention to this video as it provides detailed instructions ->

**WAIT**
Before you dive in, here comes my question.
If you have done your research, there are alot and I mean ALOT of roms to flash for the thunderbolt.
I would like some feedback as to what rom you have flashed.
This will help anyone new to the thunderbolt party as well as myself.
I have yet to make a decision on rooting or waiting.
Your feedback below please.
Thank you all in advance
And as ALWAYS,
Thank you to all the developers who are working there butts off !
I tried out team bamf first, but then they jumped ship to their own forum. So then droidtheory started releasing roms and jumped to him and haven't looked back.
He has a sense and aosp (cm7) version and also dhacker and xpack have released their own versions based off of droidtheory's work.
xpack's senseless rom is very nice. Has the sense base so gps and nfl network work right out of the gate, but no sense (adw launcher instead) so its fast and smooth.

You can't go wrong with DroidTh3orys ROMS.
Root. Now. That way you can make your choice when/if GB actually comes. You can always go back to stock unrooted. You may not be able to root with the new OTA.
Roms? Like many things they are a personal choice that no one can make for you. Having flashed them all, I can tell you they have improved dramatically since I got my bolt in May. If you choose to root, do yourself a favor and try several. You will find the Rom that suits your taste and needs.

100% agree with this guy.
Us leaving XDA doesn't change anything about the quality of our roms. Fact is, many of our innovations end up in other roms anyway (ask ihtfp69 and erishasnobattery).
You can find us at teambamf.net, or rootzwiki.com.
There are many roms to choose from out there. Try them all, then decide.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I will have to give ShiftAO5P a try.
I've been running dasBamf Roms for a month now and love them. I am currently on UberBamf PR3. every Tbolt is different, so experiment and see what works best for YOU. After you install each ROM, make a back up of it. That way, if you install one, that you don't like, you can revert.
I like a fast, customizable ROM without all the Sense bloat so I use Liquid Thundersense. I've only had this phone for 5 days so I really have no other Thunderbolt ROM to compare it to (I ran Gingeritis for a couple hours and the stock ROM only long enough to download Gingeritis to the device; I just hate Sense lol). As far as it goes though I've owned five Android devices total and have rooted and ran custom ROMs on all of them. Only way to go IMHO.

I may be off the mark but as far as I'm concerned, NVidia's the one who screwed us all by not releasing their source. In the absence of that development can only go so far. This will be my last NVidia device of any kind if I can help it -- for phones/tablets, I'm going with TI or Qualcomm and for laptops, I'm going with ... well, whatever I can get away with

Nvidia has never been that open with their products. And likely never will.
I'm not worried about it. Its a pretty bad ass phone, once you get it working right. Trigger and Roman aren't necessarily gone...he's just working on other phones too. Plus, I'm sure new devs are getting some G2Xs every day. Somebody will step in to fill all the voids. Whitehawkx is around, Fits is busy, faux, and obviously the CM team...our world isn't so bleak.

Whose MUIU are you using? The one here or the one over on the other site?
I'm using Jface's 8.19 rom since it was released a few weeks ago and aside from the lack of WiFi Calling and WiFi Tether, it is running like a dream. Battery is good and the phone is snappy. I was getting FC's with Rom Manager Premium but RM updated and now its good.
But really, CM and MIUI are pretty much the icing on the cake. Both are updated regularly by their respective teams.
It is also funny that this thread is right above "Nightlies are like crack". There are plenty of stuff to flash and try but right now, most roms are "as good as they can get "hardware-wise" aside from little tweaks and bug fixes all of them are working fairly well.
I need WiFi calling so that version isn't a viable option for me. There are still some little bugs with the version on the other site (having problem installing and applying themes). Once the bugs are worked out it would be a viable alternative to CM7. I still use Weapons as my daily ROM, and CM7 when I want Netflix. If CM7 or MIUI found a way to get HBO Go working and allowed HDMI output control I would probably start using them on a daily basis.

Ya I just got this phone. This is the 13th android I ever had and definitely near the bottom for development. Not much variety and seems to be going downhill
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
You can't get much variety because this phone is based off Stock android. Can't really blame the devs if LG couldn't produce a respectable upgrade.
All the ROMs are based of CM7, AOSP, or Stock 2.3.3
If you seen one you seen them all. Can't have SENSE on this device. That would create more flavor of ROMs.
But the biggest deterrent is LG and NVIDIA. No support, you can only get so far. Lesson learned. Don't buy a device that has no love/support from manufacturer.
lately i've been upgrading less and less. i think once the phone gets to a stable environment (which is almost has) there really is less and less reason for development since it is stable.
There was someone that was looking into porting motoblur and optimus 2x but he seems to have gone AWOL
After dropping my first captivate in a river early this year, I finally got a new one a couple weeks ago.
I must say things have changed a lot around here, after reading for a few days I am finally caught back up on everything I missed

Still a really impressive interface to play around with, and I think I can live with the cons for a little while until a more stable rom gets hosted. I will say I am in love with this os though.
The interface alone is so modern and fresh feeling I can't entirely explain it.

It adds some more ICS functionality (like a 4 way lock screen with dedicated Camera slider), ICS camera app, and some other fixes. I am running it on my current G2x. It seems far more stable than the previous release.
You can check it out here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13939-rom-miui-port-miuius-galnet-miuiandroid-updated-02052012/
the link shows 02/02/12 I flashed that and saw absolutely no differences in that build to the ones from dec 2011... I played with it for a whole day and it was not good at all, lag (stock kernel) all day horrible battery, and wifi was funky 9just seemed slower then it should have been. All on a fresh install after full wipe using scrubber and wiping system & data twice... Just my opinion though.
Very strange, are you sure you flashed the right one? I flashed mine and I have the ICS camera and ICS lockscreen now. Wifi and 3g/4g seem to be far more responsive than before as well and I don't have any lag issues either.
that lock-screen is just a theme, and that camera is the same MIUI camera that has always been there.
The lockscreen isn't a theme, it is what comes with the newest MiUi, and the camera is different too.
It as at least different from the previous release of Galnet and I am definitely running smoother than before. I have had no crashes, no battery pulls, and much more responsive. The previous release was crashing in market:games, this one has no such issues. Of course this is how I installed it:
Load into recovery, wipe user data then mounts and storage format/system, then installed Galnet stable 2.2.1 then MiUi 2.2.3 over top. I suppose I could have installed just MiUi 2.2.3 but I read something about it needing previous versions to install on top of first for stability. Either way, I am just a messenger, the ROM works wonders for me.

yes the lockscreen is a theme...
it is called default_theme.mtz
like the stock layout on miui is also a theme you can just include another ¨default theme" and it will show when you install the rom

It as at least different from the previous release of Galnet and I am definitely running smoother than before. I have had no crashes, no battery pulls, and much more responsive. The previous release was crashing in market:games, this one has no such issues. Of course this is how I installed it:
Load into recovery, wipe user data then mounts and storage format/system, then installed Galnet stable 2.2.1 then MiUi 2.2.3 over top. I suppose I could have installed just MiUi 2.2.3 but I read something about it needing previous versions to install on top of first for stability. Either way, I am just a messenger, the ROM works wonders for me.

Did you not see all the comments from the rest of the community that told him he his wrong? I think he got Owned.
true...mmmm guys by the way anyone can give me a few links for how to become a developer? i wana learn i ussually learn fast.. i got windows 7 64bit ic an develop with this? i wana become pro developer like you guys we cannot let our G2x Die
there is no getting owned there are a bunch of people calling miui a theme which is strange because it is a flashable ROM that can be themed which has nothing to really do with the point of what was said. In other words a bunch of pricks who would rather nitpick than actually provide any form of useful information. All I was doing was making people aware of the port being available. Currently when you flash the ROM it gives you the ICS 4 way unlock screen. As the default lockscreen for the ROM that makes it no longer a theme but default. Can you apply a theme over it and change it? Surely you can. Was that the point of the message in the first place, no? So here is an idea, you want people to help develop on the G2x and I assume you want people to actually support XDA, so don't be a bunch of pricks. Don't say pwned or owned or whatever you think is going to make you elite in your mind. Be polite, you know you can do that with out being a total **** about it. This is also the reason why developers stop responding and why less people start posting and why eventually the community and the development for the phone goes down hill. So be proud, be proud that you are leading the charge into prickdom. I am sure it will make XDA that much better.

just cause it has a theme defaulted doesn't make it an "ICS functional" rom, it makes it any other MIUI rom with a theme on it. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm just saying that there are way too many posts about MIUI having ICS in it, when it clearly doesn't have even some of the minor things in it. The camera especially why in the world would MIUI have an ICS camera for the g2x already lol? Again, I understand you were just trying to let people know of a port but when it has a lot of "false" information that only leads to people freaking out, and having little bits of false hope for an ICS rom when it doesn't even have the simple animations/transitions of ICS. Maybe it is just me, but I'll be that "prick" to tell you that it isn't an ICS rom. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Except it actually does have ICS functionality in the Galnet release. It would actually be super sweet if you got off your high horse, stopped with the you are posting false information crappie and actually read the release notes for the ROM next time. Yes, it has ICS functions, no I never claimed it was running ICS as full blown ROM. I am sorry you think you are providing some deep insight into what I was posting. You aren't. You are simply trying to get the last word and making your self look like an even bigger prick at the same time. Also as far as hurting my feelings, what are you ****ing 12 years old? I don't care what you have to say except that you are wrong thinking that ICS functions means ICS ROM. So, if you don't like what I have to say report it or move the **** on.

Only place in that changelog that says anything about ICS or 4.0 is the rom version he posts in the changelog (which is from 11.26) it says 2.3.7 framework all over the place. Please copy and paste where it says ICS anything... and why you so mad?
I am done with you, you are like a 12 year old who is only interested in fighting. Again, I never said it had anything more than some functionality so get off it.

lol funny you say that with no comeback because he is right, galnet rom merely just have ics looks and feel but the backend is just gb, it shared very small ics functionality. you have been pwned once more
So I just got off the phone with HTC and they said this device will not get the ics update. This is a very sad disappointment tom me. I should've just gotten the Sensation in the first place. Well the only thing now is to see if t-mobile will get the iP5 and if so here I come iOS

April Fool's Day was a month and a half ago.
This is no April fools joke.
I wasn't expecting an update at all anyway. HTC and T-Mo don't seem to be showing any interest in supporting the device more than in a very cursory way. They made their money off the device and are washing their hands.
The dev community has been the life of this device in my opinion since about the beginning of October for me. TBalden, Blue, and Undead are the reason I didn't bail and sell the device. I see no reason to change my decision simply because of HTC's affirmation that they don't care to support their customers.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
So what am I to do next I want to root and do custom mods and roms and stuff but idk Imma end up messing my phone up. I want an iPhone 5 but this device I have now will do til I get it in the mean time I need a dedicated person to help me put sense 4.0 up and running on my device.

Thinking about getting a Samsung for my next device next year. I just hope Cyanogen convinced them to make high-end sliders.

I just honestly believe that Samsung is a lame a** boring ui...... It's kinda just Samsung HTC and Motorola in the good ui sections of a smartphone

according to this we are not out of the running for ics. the amaze was just added as well as a few other phones. also it says any phone with less than 512 mb ram will not recieve the update and we have more. so i would like to believe we may still get it.

Support from HTC for this device has always been anemic at best. I'm guessing kornyone will have CM9 RCs before there's official ICS available.

What's the big deal our developers keep this device fresh as hell. There's a lot of great for everyday ics roms available.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe great for some people, but still not quite there yet for me. But, I'm encouraged by the progress that has been made. I need a ROM that just works, everything works, without any "gotchas" or having to do anything extraordinary.. just works. That's why I stick with tweaked stock ROMs for now. My MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or another phone as a spare.
The ICS update is not really much of an issue... Get yourself a virtuous inquisition 4.0.3, I am running it right now since I got the doubleshot over eBay a month ago. Everything is working quite good and stable. Tbalden is stil working on it, he released kernel 3 a week ago, so the doubleshot is running up to 1.7ghz in case of need... don't whine, just get s-off, root and you'll get one of the most versatile qwerty smartphones out there...
Edit: you can check out Rootzwiki for more info...
Here is the download link to vinq kernel 3 v2: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip

To be honest, CM9 currently runs a litle better than Virtuous Inquisition. Less force crashes, a slightly more polished experience, and the battery life is a little better. However, Virtuous runs Nova by default and also has the MIUI style battery bar by default.
Recommendation: try both. A few less FC's and more polish vs. a few more shiny things and a little less stability.

Believe me I'm in the same boat and cm9 is working amazingly for me as a daily driver, everything that I need works though bluetooth is slightly buggy sometimes (though that may be my fault as I jumped right in after flashing and MAY have accidentally restored my stock 2.3.4 pairings. Trust me I deliver for a living so this phone is my lifeline and the devs have and will continue to keep it a stable lifeline at worst and a superior lifeline at best! Thanks for some great work and if I can ever help... drop a line. If any of you team ds devs are ever in my hometown hit me up for a beer or some pizza!

I had some serious issues with Cm9... WiFi not working, force closing apps, did not even managed to get mybackup working to restore my data, apps etc. Camera was not running properly and the launcher itself was not that smooth, compared to nova... I'll wait for the next update or the RC to try it out again, till then I am staying with vinq.
I suppose it's more or less personal preference which rom you choose atm
Edit: I get round 1 fc in 24h and when I start the app again, it's always working. Do not have any stability issues with the new kernel...

Look, tbalden is working on both so you don't have to feel like betraying cm team or something like that... I mean I am switching from cm9 to vinq and back (right now staying on vinq because of the better experience) and trying things out. It's important for the devs that we do it to get rid of the errors...
I can recommend vinq, you can backup cm9, flash vinq, try it out (report errors) and then switch back if you don't like it... Not that I'm trying to convince you, just listing the options. Basically that is a question of 20 minutes to try a rom out, it's not like you will be formating your windows pc... :thumbup:
Cm9 has great support, I was running CM7 on my old Desire Z but ICS is just a totally different experience

Well... 20 mins is slightly low with flashing it from s-on... more like a day or two to test battery life and whatnot haha. Downloading now anyway.
