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] GPS and 3G issue

I know this issue have been raised before but I wanted to check if there is a fix.
To reiterate: when Triumph locks GPS signal the cell signal starts to cycle between 3G and 1x even in strong 3G areas. If I try to run any app that actively uses both signals (for example, JogTracker and Slacker) the phone gets stuck in 1x mode for extended periods and Slacker streaming breaks up constantly. I believe, the last rumor was that it has something to do with how Motorola manages power distribution when on battery as both chipsets are vying for power.
So, could you guys point me to a fix if it exists? I am currently on a stock ROM (rooted) but would not mind loading custom ROMs if that's what it takes.
Cheers.

I noticed that the cm7 rom doesnt do it as bad as the stock rom.. but the last cm7 rom i used was the 9/25 one.. i havent tried the newest cm7.. but even a stock rom with a sprint prl doesnt help..

Cm7 development for triumph has come so far so fast I can't believe it! The first one I tried was the first one available I think and it was barely functional! It had no accelerometer, no GPS, intermittant 3g, no forward cam, malfunctioning normal cam and the list goes on. I immediately switched back to froyo with Princely Roms and I tried all those which are VERY good froyo mods. But I was determined to find a good gingerbread rom even though I ruined my 600$ Captivate removing Darkys extreme as it had major issues! The last two weeks I have seen cm7 fix one issue after another and I upgraded to the new beta 1. 2 days ago and was super impressed, but lo and behold I go back to Motorola Triumph hacks and find 3 new beta releases at once! Plus a new miui! I downloaded beta 4 and miui 10 and am just really ecstatic with the performance and stability. I have a really hard time imagining myself flashing a silly themed 2.2 rom with what's out there, oh and the GPS works and is finally quick locking! I just miss my captivates 13 gb internal storage so I do a lot more "apps to SD" but I have never been happier with a device. Cyanogen mod is still king. P.S. Forgot to give credit to Isaac and tickerguy for the amazing work!

So, do I get from your post that CM7 does not have this issue anymore?

Correct! A? Smooth as silk!

What ICS ROM do you like best???

I know this has been done many time let try to help each other along with the kind developers. The ones I know about are Eagles Blood, Genesis, Hellfire Sandwich, and Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD.
If you know of more list them. If you like one VS the other list it and explain why and compared to what. List what you do not like about each one as well. Lists of likes and dislikes.
If one Rom has one thing working and another Rom dose not maybe this could help the developers.
thanks

How about you try them out for yourself and see which one works best for you?

I have tried all 4. The point is to get ideas flowing. What problems you have on one VS the other. What you like on one VS the other. facts VS Opinion.

I personally like Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD, he consistently updates taking in everyone's comments. I've tried Eagles Blood, and Hellfire Sandwich and I feel I have the most freedom with Owain's. I don't believe Eagles Blood has updated their ICS Rom since March and Hellfire Sandwich you can't edit the lock screen apps
If I was incorrect with anything sorry I might have just not seen it when I had them on my phone

I personally like resurrection remix rom.

Eaglesblood's AOSP pre-release is downloadable since about 5 hours ago. There's supposed to be another release today/tomorrow.
For the pre-release (my observations - do not generalize!!!):
*NO WiFi
*Lock screen seems to be off its normal position - it has the unlock/dial/messages/camera, but the camera is somewhere under the screen (?!?!) and I didn't even know it's there until someone pointed it out.
*Battery life seems pretty bad FOR ME. I had about 90% when I flashed the ROM last night. I only installed APEX launcher, Google maps, Dolphin HD, and updated ROM Manager and did a bit of browsing and messed around with some settings - not more than 30 mins. I also set the alarm to ring in about 5 hours. Surprise, surprise: the phone was dead when I woke up because its battery had dies - hopefully the release coming today/tomorrow will fix that.
*Stock browser doesn't work for me. It shows some all black or all white screen and sometimes just quits. That's why I installed Dolphin that fixes the problems.
*Google maps sometimes turns all grey. It's still there I can zoom in and out and use all the functions but I can't see them. I have to restart it - sometimes multiple time to get it back to work.
THE LAST TWO BULLETS have been common for me in all ICS ROMs I've used (EGB AOSP, Hellfire Sandwich, Genesis) and these are the main reason ICS is cannot remain my daily driver. I keep going back to Miui.

the rom is for samsung s2 i taught the thread is about lg g2x?

I've been using HFS for my daily. It's pretty stable and quick, and it just works. (for me anyway).
Owain's seems really innovative, but it just had too many issues for the time being. I may come back to that one on a later date when more things get ironed out.
In the meantime, I'm awaiting the release of HSF.8

Okay for me it's like i've tested every ics rom for g2x out there except genesis.
hellfire: it's a good rom but has some data drop issues didn't try it with harsh kernel yet may be on 1.8 coming soon.
eagleblood: 4.0.4 using it right now not bad smooth but few issues camera is 5m pix the gps is awful keeps on droping signal not battery percent option. data is perfect thou no drop ,
cm9 euroskank: this was the best rom i had up until they started updating it every update had issues no data at all no sound on the latest best was 1.3
right now i'm going to try hang v63 cz hopefully it's better i love the harsh kernel thanks the team that build it.

I've been running EB AOSP since the beginning, I love it.. All the ics problem I haven't really noticed.. The rom is super fast and snappy.. I don't take pics with the stock camera so the 5mp doesn't bother me.. I picked up fxcamera when it was 50 cents on the market.. Just no video recording.. But that's with all ics roms.. I've tried the others here on xda and they all seem very laggy to me.. I don't know why.. And too I'm like the stock feel of EB ics with apex launcher I'm happy

i like hfs but my mms or web doesnt work its not the rom fault really its my provider outdated apn settings -_-(simple mobile)its so smooth fell in love with the first use

I've tried them all out myself. I used hfs for the longest because of how stable it was. Had to do the occasional reboot, but nothing major. I started using Genesis with harsh kernel a couple of days ago, and must say I am really impressed. I've had a couple of random reboots that wasn't normal with hfs, but I'm digging everything else. I just wish someone would fix the major camera issue! I'm a little ROM happy as I work for TMobile and am always trying to keep on the up and up. Hell, I'll try anything as long as it doesn't fry my beloved G2x!

Do you not use your phone? I'm on owain and its (plain) but good nonetheless, if eb releases today (they plan too) then flash that though.

I'm totally happy with the Genesis ROM with harsh kernel, i try hellfire but like the way i can set my phone with Genesis with aroma... wait to see wat hell's doing with it's .8 version with aroma

I flashed from stock GB 2.3.4 (after downgrading my BB) yesterday with EB 4.0.4 (5/20 nightly) and have been surprised with it.
I'm having some issues with the sim , can't read my number or VM number and a strange issue with mobile data after a service dead spot (like on the subway) but a reboot corrects that....
All and all a good ics experience

I have running Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 (dirty) since it was released to the public and it is a extremely good rom and its also very smooth and fast... Its even faster when it is combined with the Harsh Kernel P999

I personally love AOKP. It's probably the smoothest and most stock 4.0.4 rom i've ever used. It has big support and a nice website with everything you need. It also has a simple rom control and theme manager in the settings and that's it. No other cluttered crap. I love the continuing updates and support. I haven't experienced one force close or overheat yet with this one. It's a keeper. [:

I don't like ANY of the ICS ROM's that are out currently. Until LG/nVidia releases the drivers for the tegra2 and G2X, I won't be pleased with what's out there.

[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.

[Q] Stable(ish) ICS/JB for p500

Hey guys, I'm usually just a lurker on these forums and read up on the latest developments but I've neglected my Optimus p500 after getting a Nexus 7 haha
This ISN'T a 'what is the best ROM' thread, but I'm basically wanting to know if there are any stable ICS or JB releases out for the p500 that are good enough to use as a daily driver?
I tried and tested a range of ROM for this phone before finally settling on Neko's GingerSnap a number of months ago as I found it to be the most stable and most responsive (excellent work, by the way mate!). I'm a bit bored with it now and wanting to try a newer build.
Any recommendations?
Cheers!

I think it is safe to say that ICS is pretty much bugfree. I am not sure whether video recording and high quality playback has been fixed in JB, but I'm going to assume that they are still there. And the battery life on ICS is much better than that of JB. So if you want a stable daily driver:

that's what I would go with

completely agree with sweetnsour
and if u want a highly customized and stable ics rom try aokp

Awesome!! Thanks very much guys. I might give AOKP a go and see how I get on.
Downloading now

there is a thanks button if u can press it:silly:

Thought I'd give you guys an update. Been running AOKP for a day or so now and I'm really liking it. Nice and responsives, no restarting bugs like the first ICS ROMs that came out. I generally just use my phone for calling and texting now I have a tablet, so haven't tried games etc but so far so good.
Thanks again guys!
