Well everyone, since my KANG thread in the development section has become a discussion thread since official CM nightlies started again, I've decided to redirect the discussion to here. I'm going to ask the thread in the development section to be closed, so it can stop taking up space there...instead we'll take up space here! Lol. But anyways I want this to basically be a continuation of the old thread...you can talk about your G2X questions, comments, problems, etc. here. This will be especially geared toward CM-related problems, but all G2X-related topics are welcome here I hope that everyone will continue to help each other out, and of course I'll monitor the thread to help as much as I can and research things if necessary. Enjoy!
This isn't necessarily CM-related but I guess it is in a way. I have been trying out EB's build 1 of ICS and honestly for the most part it works great already. The only big glaring issue (that actually made me revert back to Gingerbread today) was the incoming call problem I've seen reported elsewhere that when you try to answer a call, your ringtone restarts and it doesn't appear to actually pick up.
As for the G2X in general, I'm a firm believer that most common issues have been strictly software-based, which makes the resources we have here on XDA something like miracle workers if you think about it.

Quick question, if I am already running Arcee's ICS ROM would I need to do a full wipe and loose the way I have my phone configured or can I just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash on top of Arcee's??

As it is always said, it is best to do a full wipe. You never know what issues may stick behind or get caused by not doing a full wipe, but give it a shot and report back and hopefully you don't have issues.

Ok, so after reading the last comments in the CM thread, arcees rom is not been updated in awhile. What have people found the most stable, working ics ROM is atm? I'm using sk3, but will upgrade if there is better.
(btw, People get jealous of my now ICS powered phone )
Thanks!

I haven't tried any of the other ICS roms, but been using HFS since the initial release. Obviously it's not perfect, but I've been running it everyday and don't have any major complaints
CM Nightly 226/Unnamed & Kernels
Recently transitioned back to CM from MIUI. Anyone try out the newest 226 (unnamed) Nightly yet? I'm still rocking the CM7.1.0.1 Stable, but for kernel flashing purposes, I'm trying to decide on a nightly.
I've used Faux123's UV/OC kernels, but seem to have lost my copy of his v0.4.3 (long term CM7.1.0.1 support). So, the newest v0.4.8 and T15 or ELF Trinity's won't work with mine. I know chip's vary, but mine seems to not like even the ELF Trinity kernel (which has worked for a few peeps running CM7.1.0.1).
Anyway, the breakdown of my ramblings are:
1. Anyone try CM Nightly 226/Unnamed?
2. Anyone happen to have a copy of Faux123's v0.4.3 kernel (CM Battery Version, not the DS driver) lying around? Or a compatible Trinity (preferred, actually)?
Eh, I know #2 is more wishful thinking. I'm mostly interested in anyone's experience with Nightly 226/Unnamed.
Ah, good to be back on XDA and CM, at that. I rolled on MIUI for way too long. Nice GUI & the customization was awesome, but man is that sucker a memory hog! Not to mention the random reboots and screen freezes... I should have never left my good ol' CM. Hindsight and all...
The only issue that I ran into with cm7/cm9 is the low microphone. I know this has been brought up in the past, but has been ignored as well. Some users claimed that it only happen to certain phone, but I'm almost certain that the issue lies within the rom. I do hope someone can shed some lights on this, cause i do miss using CM7.
long story short, i have a wiped g2x. power button is a ***** to turn on to the point that my finger tips are sore from trying to get it to boot into recovery since last night. i can only seem to get 2 different screens trying to do this:
a) the lg boot animation which promtly freezes as the phone has been wiped & i probably haven't held the volume down button
b) the s/w screen used for flashing a recovery, etc
the phone is not mine but trying to help someone out. is there a timing to releasing the buttons? seems that when it goes to the s/w screen, lg appears for only about a second and then straight to that one. any help would be appreciated.
edit: posted it here only because i'd been following the old thread which led me to this one. i was trying to update to the latest while this happened. i started a similar thread in q&a so if it doesn't belong i''ll remove it, thanks
I've been in a loop like this before. Make sure you have done a battery pull. I think the key is not to hold the volume down button so long, and then be patient for recovery to load, it takes longer than expected in this situation.
Good luck.

Ah, you want to talk to me! I just went from CM7.1.0.1 Stable to #225. More stable, much faster than CM7 Stable, #225 really should be CM7.2 Stable.
#226 seems to have a bug with the lockscreen PIN. Go get #225 and don't look back.

I've seen in other threads that the app getril fixes the low mic problem. This app matches the radio layer to the baseband.

I agree, this is by far the most annoying bug and the only "show stopper" I can think of on CM7. I do not think it's a 'phone-by-phone' thing, because if I flash to stock or Weapon G2X, my mic volume is fine. It's only on CM/CM-based ROMs, such as MIUI. I can't count the number of times where people have told me to "speak up" until I'm practically yelling into my phone. I think there's a bug with noise cancellation that causes it to be quieter than it should be.

GetRIL went the other way for my phone (Wind Canada P999), recommending v11h. Any notes re: the different builds?
I had the Vibrant and flashed all kinds I'd ROMs with it. Moved to the iPhone 4s and then traded that for my new S3. It was a good choice. So now I'm planning to get started flashing on this phone.
Wanted to know what is the same and what is different from the Vibrant from previous Vibrant users.
What's the best place to start flashing? I'm looking for stability and speed. Preferably more stability than stock cause stock is a little buggy honestly.

Honestly, the post was more about the Vibrant than anything. I was hoping to see some of the same people and get their experiences on ROMs compared to what we had on the Vibrant.
Like on the Vibrant it went from Android 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 and you constantly had to be aware of what you were flashing. It doesn't seem that way (yet) with the S3 from what I've been reading. Is that the case? At this point everything is compatible and we're able to flash away for the most part?
And I was hoping someone could tell me what's stable and smooth right now. Stock has been touch and go for my device and I haven't done anything to it. I'm looking for a fast non-overclocked kernel matched with a stable daily driver ROM. Any help is appreciated, dickhead comments aren't. This place has turned all elitist. This is the General forums....thought I could get away with a few simple questions with answers based on experiences, after having read through all these threads.
Speaking of which NeverendingXin, I read a lot of that thread yesterday but it seemed to give descriptions of what AOSP vs AOKP vs CM10 vs MIUI. Which I learned a lot from and I appreciate. But I was looking for more advice on specific ROMs. Anyone that could say "This ROM with this kernel has worked for me and I like it's speed" or whatever would do.
You want to find out what's stable and smooth?
Man up and make a backup of your current rom and flash away trying different roms. You'll likely end up getting different responses from different people and it isn't likely you'll have their same experience. Just find out for yourself. The guide the person above directed to you to was made to prevent threads asking what rom is stable or to use.

Well in that sense the best information I can give you is that for a touch wiz ics Rom I'd use synergy, I used that for a long time and it was always super stable and smooth for me. If your looking for aosp then I'd use either liquid smooth or slim bean I'm more familiar with liquid and it's really great, but I'm trying out slim bean and it's so far been good as well. I hope this helps

I'm from the Fascinate but I've also worked on the Vibrant.
* You don't have to worry about bml/mtd here. Which means you can flash basically everything without having to odin.
* You do have to worry about the locked bootloader. CASUAL can unlock it. Droidstyle has a sticky thread here on xda to help you with this and many other processes.
* There are excellent stock and AOSP-based ROMS. AOSP-based ROMS aren't quite 100% (but close) on RIL issues though.
*On verizon, radios are typically flashed separately and only in certain circumstances (odin package) included with ROMS.
* You DO have to worry about the IMEI issue. There are numerous threads about backing up this information and a Sticky thread with a tool for recovering it.
* If you are looking for a custom kernel check out Leankernel which is linked to in the signature of the poster above me. note that it's an AOSP kernel. Find the touchwiz version in the same forum.
Something else to bote about unlocking the bootloader, if you are going to use EZ Unlock from the market DON'T!!!! Go to root wiki and download version 1.2. For some reason 1.3 & 1.4 are wonky. The older versions are on the same thread as 1.4.
My vote for a ROM is Paranoid Android, I had some bug issues on Liquid Smooth but on PA I have had none thus far. I would reccomend flashing Paranoid Android version 2.5 instead of 2.51, there seems to be an issue for some users with the latest commits in 2.51 from what I read earlier today.
I'm sure you know how to back up you IMEI but just in case use the terminal method and the synergy flash method.
Just trying to cover most bases, I didn't know what you knew and didn't know.

The reason I asked is because stock on the S3 is as stable as you are going to get. The most stable custom Roms are going to be the ones based of stock TW and you can get them with some added tweaks. They are no more stable then stock as stock is stable as a *****. If you are getting force closes and lockups there is probably an issue with what you have installed.
Any AOSP rom will still have bugs and will be the least stable out of all the options. No matter how many people say Liquid or AOKP or CM10 or PA or MIUI is running great, they run no where near as stable and perfect as any TW rom.
If you want stability, go with a TW rom. read the different threads, mostly the last couple of pages of each which are usually about the latest release and you will know what is good and what is not.
This is what I am running and it does not get any more stable then this but then again stock was stable as ***** as well...

Thanks guys.... this is exactly what I was looking for. As far as backing up the IMEI, I've never had to do that. Not on the Vibrant or My HTC View....so I have some reading to do there. Any tips or links to threads on that would be appreciated.
And I did have to unlock the bootloader on the View, but it's not a process I know a lot about.... so reading to do there as well.
Thanks for the tips guys. Looks like I'm going back to do some more studying.

I did it this way and spend 2 weeks of hell. Don't recommend this, PLEASE.
Here's my own thoughts, as reliable as the butt dyno installed in my TSX:
CM10: depending on the build it was OK to "omg, I just rebooted why is this running so slow?" I tried this rom twice and gave up. I had installed a nightly from Friday which is what had serious issues. I'd reboot and within 15 minutes everything would be crawling.
ParanoidAndroid: I might accept this if I could opt to have a phone styled settings app. I see no way to get that, and I don't enjoy my settings app on my S3 using a tablet layout. Can this be changed?
AOKP: Wifi didn't work without a kernel, battery life ranged from amazing to terrible (no data on why, I didn't look at my wakelocks) and bluetooth didn't function right - it didn't auto connect to my car.
MIUI: Verdict is out, first flashed it yesterday. First thoughts are that it feels slightly slow, but that might be because I put the governor into dynamic mode. Battery life is looking about on par with paranoid
Liquidsmooth: didn't see any reason to use this over PA or CM, didn't feel much smoother to me (forgetting the nightly build I flashed of CM10, because that was just awful.)

The one on the marketplace worked fine for me? It always says "unknown" but it unlocks. What does LiquidSmooth change from CM10? They don't seem to have many builds.
Can the ParanoidAndroid settings app be made to have a phone layout for settings instead of the double paned layout? If yes, I might give Paranoid a second try.

Well the one in the marketplace may work fine for you but everyone else who has tried version 1.4 has posted so many messages because it didn't truly unlock their phone and gave them a soft brick. The reason it may work for you is because the dev finally fixed it. I just know that there have been numerous threads of people getting soft bricks from version 1.4.
As for Liquid, it is their spin off of CM10. There are a few notable differences but I honestly don't know how to describe them properly, you would just have to flash it and mess with it yourself.
I agree completely about CM10 being buggy as hell, I personally don't care for it but without it we wouldn't have half of the roms we do.
The upside to Liquid, PA, and some of the other offshoots is that the devs over them are busting their ass to get all the kinks worked out, and from my testing they are better than CM10 bug wise. Everyone's phone is different though and something that works for me will not work for someone else. For instance I can successfully over clock my phone to 2.1Ghz where a lot of people can go above 1.7 or 1.9 without losing stability.
As for you question about PA, I thought there was a setting to get rid of the double menu, but I just took a quick look and couldn't find it. I very well may have overlooked it though, as I said it was just a quick look. You could try googling it or asking in the PA thread and seeing if anyone can point you in the right direction.

Check the PA thread for the answer - go into PA settings, go to the app settings, find the settings app in there and hit reset. My guess is that it is a bug with the current version of the ROM.

Good afternoon everyone. Total noob. Second post, as the first one was in the wrong HTC One X forum.
About a week ago I found a thread that suggested a different ROM build for some problems I'm having, but I can't find that thread now.
My phone app will freeze the screen and I have to reboot. The phone is working when this happens, as in the call is completed. This is random. Also, I'm getting message after taking several pics in a row that the gallery has stopped working. I have to re-open the camera app. Then, some pics are not shown in the gallery, but they are in the filesystem. Battery life seems a little bad but it's gotten better...it's on par with the 5-yearl-old iPhone 3G I had, I KID! I'm using the phone on the TIGO network in Honduras.
Can anyone suggest a different ROM, or something? I don't know all the terms or what anyone would need so I'll list everything here. Thanks for the help!
HTC One X
Android 4.2.2
AOKP verson aokp_evita-jb-mr1_build-4
Build Number aokp_evita-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng.sethyx.20120225.051151 test-keys
Kernel version 3.0.66-g2cee9f6 [email protected] #1
Baseband 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L
I'm getting no love on this post at all!
Its hard to suggest a ROM to anyone. Different ROMs are for different people. If you are hard core, you may try viper. If you want sense 4+, you may try newts. Possibilities are endless. Look in the android development section. And look st the different ROMs. Look for features, screenshots. and of course user comments.
Also don't expect fast replies. Either people are not on, or they are just need interested in the post.

Herc, thanks for the advice.
AOKP, at least this build, on my phone's configuration, isn't functional.
I would suggest to anyone reading this thread to avoid wasting your time and to move on to a different ROM.
I had the same issues with every CM10.1 based rom that I tried. Neither Google player or player pro would work correctly. Had to hard reboot after phone calls pretty often. Gallery force closing. Pictures don't show up in gallery sometimes. Lots of other folks seem to be able to use them fine.
They ran so fast and smooth, I wish they had been more stable for me!
I went back to viper for now. Rock solid, no issues. Elementalx kernel. I miss some of the 4.2 features but I'm loving having double or triple the battery life.
The devs here rock.. Nothing against them, I honestly think maybe there's something wrong with my phone causing the issues. Maybe yours has the same problem.

I've been running several different aosp 4.2.2 ROMs and they all have phone issue which can half way be fixed by going to setting/accessibility and checking end calls with power button. And as far as the camera and gallery goes I've had those issues on some aosp ROMs but so far with jellybam v7.5 i haven't

I downloaded the new PA 3.60 6/11 build from notta yesterday with KT747 Kernel and RErick universal setup. After using for a while, without attempting to call, I was more than happy. At work today I called my girlfriend and in the middle of our conversation the call dropped. Ever since then whenever I try to make a call I get a "com.android.phone has stopped" message or it will connect, close phone screen but keep call in status bar, show that same message, then drop the call. Sometimes it says "Mobile network not found" after trying to call then will reload my bars after. Can't receive calls either but my network shows I have bars and every IMEI & numbers alike are there. Restored nandroid and calls worked.
Thought it might be kernel combo so tried to wipe everything and reinstall but problem persisted. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance!
Try the latest paranoid android gapps, i had that problem a few times but after i flashed those the problem stopped. And what's Rerick setup?

I've flashed the 6/10 gapps both times I flashed the ROM, unfortunately. Maybe bad download? I don't know at this point.
Its RErick's from Team Kernelizers setup for the KT747 kernel. Can find him on the TK Mod thread. Great battery life supposedly but didn't get to try it for too long since calls didn't work.
I was running the latest pa with their gapps and calling was fine for about a day then I got the phone crashing every time I tried to make a call and couldn't receive any.
Did nothing different. I didn't try to fix it or anything, I just restored my tw backup.
Unfortunately, I've been running tw mostly these past few months. Occasionally I try out aosp, be it cm or another iteration, but go back due to the annoying deal breaking glitches. I've pretty much given up on running anything other than bone stock on this phone. Not sure if it's just my phone or what, but anything else always has obnoxious bugs that never seem to get squashed.
Shame, too. The developers do great work. Probably just my particular phone as plenty of others seem to run with zero problems.
Stock bloated tw with nova for me. Even the debloated roms run wonky on my phone after a couple days. Always full, clean wipe.

The same things HaS been happening to me with alot of asop ROMs. Only way to fix is not use custom kernel and the roam setting have something to do with it. It sucks cause I like the asop ROMs . Its been doing to me for two weeks just wonder if they have changed anything with these ROMs cause it don't matter if its cm PA AOKP or unofficial versions of these I just can run them anymore

Since I've been having so much trouble with any rom I haven't used a custom kernel since my thunderbolt days. I run whatever kernel the rom comes packaged with.
But like I said, it's probably my phone. It has defective bluetooth that I didn't figure out until well after I purchased the phone. It's got constant loud crackling and popping on stock (ironically, non existent on aosp roms). I doubt that's related but just illustrates the weird differences between phones.
Had the same problem less than an hour ago when i really needed to make a phonecall. Had to restore to my backup i made before flashing PA. Hell of a time for it to stop working.

Well after first believing it was just my phone, after reading these comments as well as the PA thread I've come to the assumption that its something with the ROM and how it behaves with the phone app. Hopefully the details will get resolved soon cause I was really enjoying the new PA. Until then, sticking with hyperdrive.
Thanks guys.
had this problem since upgrading to the 6/11 build.
i could make calls out as long as i didnt press the ok button to dismiss the process stopped message.
i could not receive calls hwoever. it does ring like it should, but it does not allow me to answer.
using latest gapps package.
I've had this problem on both 6/12 and 6/14, using the 6/10 gapps.
Any chance anyone has come up with some way to resolve this?
for ppl with this problem, i moved to pacman to get all my newest PA features setup with pie, expanded desktop and halo.
not having htis problem on there.

Good suggestion. Really liked PACman for a while, but eventually my call got dropped and I ran into the exact same issue from that point on. At this point I've just decided to go with a TW based rom. With hyperdrive you can still have pie and download Floating Notifications app that is practically the same thing as halo but also has themes available too.
Until that bug can be fixed, going to stick with Hyperdrive. Sweet rom anyway.
I've been having a lot of random reboots when using AOSP based roms. So far I've used CM10.1.0, 10.1.3, 10.2, and liquidsmooth 2.10. As long as it is AOSP, the phone randomly reboots. Sometimes while it's just sitting on the charger or in my pocket.. After digging through this site I tried installing the firmware from here:
http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html
but I'm still having random reboots. I have a stock battery, and a later model brown S3 phone. TW roms work flawlessly.
Any advice?
As far as I am concerned CM is not very stable. Plus if you flash nighties that could be your issue. I read other people having random freezes and hot boots on LS 2.10. My suggestion to figure out if it's really AOSP (seriously doubt it) try LS 2.9. probably the most stable AOSP ROM out there. Also I have heard good things about older Slim Bean Builds. Do NOT do anything 4.3 related. 4.3 ROMs are still considered unstable.

Ive been using several 4.3 roms without one issue. Dirty Unicorn and Carbon have been prefect so far. Using latest twrp, full wipe and stock kernels.

What revision is your phone? Rev4? Rev5? My phone is a Rev0 and I'm not having any problems with running AOSP based ROMs.
I did too. I'm not sure WTF was going on, but ASOP/CM would be great for about a month, and then it'd start random rebooting. After it'd start random rebooting, the way to stop it would be to ODIN back to stock, and start over. Clean installs, nandroid restores, full formats.. None of it worked.
So here I stay on a crappy 4.1.2 TW ROM.. itching to return, but not really seeing enough improvements to warrant another go.
How are you restoring apps and data? I had problems after restoring via titanium backup, but when I restored selectively (just apps and data I really needed) with helium it's running fine.
this has to be a very late revision of the phone because it comes in the brown color that Verizon didn't start offering until recently. Even so, how do I determine the revision?

I believe it states the version when in download mode. (Vol down + home + power at a powered off state)

Check in terminal emulator.
Su (enter)
cat /proc/cpuinfo (enter)
This will give you the revision number and a lot more about your phone.
I have "rev 4" on my brown GS3 and have been running CM10.1.3. The only time my phone crashes/reboots is when I attempt to use the front facing camera with a third party camera app.
Is it possible to get some logging of what's triggering the crash, so someone can take a look at it? Also right now, to the person who asked, I am reinstalling my apps from scratch from the play store. Since I haven't built up a lot of custom data for this phone to make it worth backing up.
I miss AOSP something fierce.

Download aLogCat from the play store and start the app. Then trigger the crash

What do you do if you can't cause it to crash? Mine are always totally random. It'll crash during a call, it'll crash while web browsing, it'll crash while locked in my pocket.. The only time it won't crash is when you want it to!
Do you just end up with a giant log file then or what?
