I ugraded to the Sensation from the original MyTouch 3g. When I rooted and flashed froyo, especially Cyanogenmod, I was no longer able to send MMS. Will this happen with my Sensation? The guy in the T-Mobile store said it was because the Mytouch was never meant to handle Froyo, so is that just it? Or should I not flash a custom rom?

Every custom rom has its quirks, most of the sensation roms are really stable, just make sure you have the appropriate kernal (which is most the time included in the rom itself) as well as the right firmware. If something doesn't work its likely that someone has had your same problem and it has already been fixed just search around. I am running vipers 1.1.0 sense 4.0 and it is great, the only thing that doesn't work is MHL (HDMI out) but not many people use that anyway. Here is the link for that rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547
Hit thanks if I helped.
I've ran just about every custom Rom for ICS there is and I've never had issues like that. Read the change logs of the developers and they will tell you EXACTLY what is working and what is not working. Most of the time mms is always working. Custom roms for the sensation have proven to be much more stable than stock roms and that's a fact! Sometimes the representatives of the providers love to tell you that there are incompatibility issues with roms when in fact they are wrong! Once I had a representative tell me custom roms are not updated or supported like stock roms what a joke that is. My roms have more support and updates than I've EVER seen with stock! When I was running stock I had force closes and random reboots all the time, I have NEVER had that on my custom Rom ! Also if an issue does arise the developers are right there and the community is eager to help resolve the problem! Oh yes I do recommend rooting! With stock your forgotten, with rooting you have a wonderful support system ! Also with rooting you can truly make your device your own with tons of customization ! I don't regret it for a second! I say go for it! Hope this helps!
Sometimes issues will arise with a Rom but usually can be worked out with a solution from the community. Remember to read the change logs this way you know exactly what your getting when flashing a Rom. The developers are very open when it comes to issues . I think you will be very happy with custom roms. Try several until you find one that fits your style and personal needs. Best of luck.

I have some news on my CM7 porting, good and bad.
The good new first.
Good:
I can get the FULL version including the kernel to run in safestrap, and it is like 97% working.
Bad:
I can not get the ROM, without the kernel, to boot properly when flashing it to the phone from the bootstrap. I have spoken with several experts and this may not be something we can work out until the bootloader is unlocked. There are hooks in almost every part of CM that make android calls, that are part of their own version of android (it is heavily customized, and the code is available, and how I got it) and the kernel they use. The reason this works in safestrap, is because I can load the kernel on top of our kernel, but it is slower this way. Think of running a VM on top of your current OS, and how that can have some lag if your computer is not real powerful.
The bottom line, I am not sure if we can get CM working for everyone just yet. I am not sure where lfaber06 is at with CM9 and if he has tested it directly on the phone without safestrap yet or not. Maybe he will post in here what his experience has been, with this.
I'd like to give it a whirl anyway.

ONLY with safestrap, right now. If you try to flash it with the bootstrap it will softbrick your phone.
--EDIT--
Remember safestrap is not really working right now... lfaber06 and I have some highly modified versions that really are not for the rest of the world yet, and my version has a custom compiled version of CWM, and is a little buggy.

I have made quite a bit of progress on cm9 in safestrap, the only real issue i have is the radio which i am constantly trying different things with. I have not tried flashing cm9 or cm7 in the bootstrap but I have a method for it..(I think, Remember the D3 can run cm7 from the bootstrap) I have a file I have modified for cm9 that im sure will work for cm7 flashing in bootstrap. You would need to add some modified files to /system/rootfs/ and preinstall support to boot init.d and also run the fixboot.zip at boot. Really running under safestrap (i'm using the /preinstall partition) does not seem to slow it down much. But tbh I havent really "run" it while it's booted I'm usally making edits and rebooting to check for service. I'm going to tear into hashcodes cm7 for the D3 and see what I can come up with. It seems like it had the kernel included but the scripts only called for it if the safe file existed on the /data partition.

PM me a link to hashcodes d3 CM7 ported ROM (if you have one, I have had a hard time locating a completed one), and not the source code, that is what I used to compile my CM7 port with. I would like to test something, I have a theory on this, that I won't share with everyone here, since it really would not be very interesting here to anyone not trying to port these over.... we will talk more about this in PM.
Thanks!

Yeah a couple days ago I flashed CM9 through Bootstrap. Everything booted okay and and everything ran fine. Again the only problems were that the phone didn't work, due to the telephony.apk issue and market wouldn't launch. Otherwise everything else ran a-okay!

Yes it sure does thanks, I flashed it, played with it, and I am taking a look at a few things with your CM9 ROM, and since we PM'd I have been digging into the D3 CM7.2 version that hashcode had created. I am not quite ready to flash it yet, but maybe something tomorrow, once I have the ROM to the point that I am happy to play with it on my phone and see what works and what does not.
It looks like the issue with my old CM7 ROM, from the logs I grabbed a little while ago, with logcat, were due to kernel driver files not found during loading, so it looks like my compile had issues linking to our kernel. I so wish I had the source for our phones kernel, it would make compiling CM7 so much easier, and NO the ME865 source will not due, so don't mention it here.
Jim
Glad I could help! Also @lfaber06, what do you mean by your ported version doesn't work? That's the one I flashed.
**Edit** Also the camera doesn't work, if you guys want in to that. Probably an incorrect driver or something...
So... any news to report on either CM7 or CM9?

By ported I mean the ones i've cooked up, their not ready for prime time so no sense in uploading them but they are good to share with jim. I don't think the camera works on any of the unofficial builds it uses a new type of "ion" driver that makes the camera uber responsive. Your post has however led me to build a few working ports for bootstrap but its still the same old radio driver issue.

I got this phone recently and I'm experiencing some minor bugs and was wondering if it's worth it loading a custom mod to it.
It's currently running GB 2.3.3 stock
I have no experience at all doing anything regarding custom roms or kernels or whatever. Before I do anything with my phone I want to know the ups and downs to it and if it's worth it
The bugs I currently have are random reboots but this has only happened twice in about 5 days of use wifi calling sometimes gets a little *****y but it works (for this I had to get a older sim card TM 9073)
Is there a stable rom around that most g2x users are using ?

I do wish to know if there is a way to revert my G2X to its factory settings on the 2.3.3 in case I mess up etc

since you said you have never done any of this before
there are noob friendly ways to root such as the following link...
follow the directions in this link to root..
then just continue on the original CM link and start after the root section..

thanks to all , the links where helpful I got the cyanogen RC 7.2 working good so far only 1 issue when I want to install the telenav gps says its not available in my country I really need this thing working . Apart from that It's a lot easier than I thought now just need to figure the gps thing out.
What country are you trying TeleNav in? And does google maps not work for you?
I agree. I'd usually use Google Maps Navigation. Has helped me quite nicely.
I already got it fixed apparently it was a corrupted rom. re downloaded and re installed and everything working nicely atm testing Hellfire phoenix this thing is awesome
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read.
I have a LG G2X, love the feel, the display, the specs and the price. Hate the phone....in every other way
I am on my 4th G2X now b/c I keep taking it back to T-Mobile to get a new one based on the following things my phone does:
1. It restarts 1-2x a week, randomly with or without a power adapter plugged
2. It freezes up every other day or so and requires a hard restart (battery pull) to resume use
3. It frequently takes 5+ minutes to get a GPS lock (tried in several cities coast to coast US)
Now if it were just the first phone I could say lemon, but every G2X I have owned does this, T-Mobile told me it was a known issue with the phone but couldn't tell me if it was software or hardware in nature.
So my question to you fellow forumites is this: Is the issue hardware related (move on to another phone) or software (Rom install fixes all my worries and I'm happy forever and ever and ever)?
If you're still using the stock ROM, and are still on 2.3.3, then you are experiencing SW suckage... Get a custom CM7 Rom on there and enjoy some of the finer benefits. Stability will be better but you won't be dead-set stable. GPS has been an issue for some since the inception of the phone. Others have GREAT GPS reception.
Research the Development forums and find a CM7.2 ROM that best suits you. You can of course go CM9 (ICS) but you won't get HW Acceleration and some things just flat out don't work yet.

The stability and GPS performance are greatly enhanced by the stock 2.3.4 ROM, also, if you're not a CM7 fan.

Thanks for the great responses guys, just another reason I love this forum.
I should have given a few more details, I am running stock 2.3.3 on T-Mobile in the US.
Few questions for a techie (but virgin ROMer):
1. Is the 2.3.4 stock available OTA? I haven't seen any available upgrades.
2. What does baseband refer to? (trying to educate myself on the terms)
3. Any favorite ROMs? My must haves are stability and speed, other than that any goodies/awesomeness is welcome but the first two are absolute.
I am tempted to stick to stock ROMs as I haven't flashed one myself yet and this phone is my lifeblood b/c of work.
On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is "I did it with on accident when I dropped it down the stairs" and 10 is "the most difficult thing you will ever do in your life" what is the difficulty for a ROM virgin to sucessfully flash to 2.3.4 (if it is not available OTA) or CM7/other ROMs,etc?
I am technical, 12 year IT professional with MCSA/CCNA, etc but haven't done much research into the ROM biz. If its not too difficult is there a "Must read" guide for noobs?

Difficulty is pretty low. If you can follow instructions, and understand what you're doing, then you should be good to go. If you want 2.3.4, you're gonna need to use LG's ****ty software. Either you use KDZ flasher, or LG's official PC suite. Both crashed on me constantly on Win7 x64. I was lucky/unlucky, it crashed right after writing the baseband (low level radio firmware). It hadn't even partitioned anything yet if I tried to turn it on, not even a backlight was showing. So I had to use NVflash to completely repartition it to stock. After that, I flashed CWM (clockworkmod), the custom recovery. Nowadays, TWRP is available. TWRP is awesome, and they have awesome Devs. TWRP (teamwin recovery project) is touch based rather than CWM and traditional volume key and power button navigation. There is CWM touch, but it's extremely experimental and I find it too glitchy compared to TWRP. TWRP is a work in progress however and there may be issues (I had one but it was easily fixed with one command when I spoke with the Devs on irc) I haven't had any serious ones though. IMO it's easier to NVflash in a Linux environment, because there is no messing around with drivers. But after drivers are installed on windows, the difficulty level plateaus.
As for my favorite ROM, that would currently temasek cm7 builds. They're stable, fast and they're customizable as f***.
I don't have any links right now, because I'm on my phone, (I can grab them later/soonish) you're going to want tga_gunman's thread named something along the lines of "One click recovery flasher" that's for CWM recovery. If you want TWRP, there's a thread that has TWRP in the title.
Also look for "ROM for recovery under NVflash" or something similar to that. That will take you back to complete stock 2.3.3 no matter what happened software wise, unless you somehow managed to break the baseband. The baseband is the only thing that cannot be fixed by NVflash, only can be fixed by LG's ****ty PC software.
For temasek's cm7 builds, the thread is not created by temasek, but the builds are by him. It should be at build 133 or 134.
If you need anything else, PM me maybe.

Firstly thanks for all the good Q/A, like a good forum noobie, I'm marking thanks each reply.
I want to make sure I understand your comment. This is what I understood, let me know if I'm off/on. The CM Roms do not work with BT calling, so I should stick with stock if that's important to me? I would assume then for me to get beyond my current issues (OP) my best bet would be to Flash the 2.3.4 stock?
Thanks again for the info and time.
***edit***
Nix the above. I completely read it wrong, thought you were saying all CM ROMs didn't work with Bluetooth. Just so on the current Baseband.
I'm on Jul 15 2011 Baseband currently, so I'll attempt the CM7 ROM this weekend when I'm back home and able to devote more focus. Coming from stock 2.3.3 do I need to flash a kernel as well or will that be in the ROM <---showing my ROM noobness but unashamed to learn.

If you decide to get the newer baseband (you get it with 2.3.4 kdz, only way to get new baseband) and bt calling is important, do not go to cm. If you don't mind staying on the older baseband, bt calling will work fine on cm.

Lol, I feel so dumb, its like learning a new language while being held underwater.
kdz=?
I'm trying to understand why I would decide to get the newer baseband? If I do I can use BT calling but can't use CM7 ROMs, if I don't I can use CM7 ROMs and BT calls should work fine. Dont see the upside to upgrading the baseband, unless it has issues?
BTW as I haven't seen it, I get happy feelings when I look at your avatar

KDZ = LG's proprietary file type to update their phones via PC officially. A lot of people say the new baseband gives them better gps and call quality. Basically if you don't change baseband to the new one, everything will work perfectly. If you DO switch, everything will work perfectly, but only on stock. Everything will work on cm except Bluetooth calling with the new baseband. I don't think it's worth restricting yourself to stock because of the new baseband and and bt calling. My recommendation? Don't change baseband, just go to cm. Also, soon we might start to see android 4.1.1 jelly bean. They won't be stable for a while though.
Too much fun.
Couldn't wait, just finished flashing CWM, then backed up, then wiped like 400x then dropped the CM7 ROM you sugested.
Longest 10 minutes of my life letting it sit.
Working great, I'll update here with any additional info or create a new thread.
TY TY TY all
Update -
Still working great, only two issues.
* Cellular network is only showing E, played with the settings but can't seem to get any G networks.
* Google apps/play isn't installed, I think I have this one figured out to download/flash from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154) (http://goo.im/gapps/) but I'm confused about which one to DL.
help plox?

If it's cm7 get the latest gb one, if it's cm9 get the latest ics one... It has gb or ics in the name of the file.

Yeah goo.im/gapps is the best. For the cell network, try going settings> wireless>mobile>network operators and select "select automatically"
So, I have done plenty of research and come across dead links and scary ads. And I have been flashing and flashing.. with no success. First, let me explain why i'm even typing this... because Miui, in my 2 day experience with it has been the cleanest rom ever, and i love it BUT......
I started with miui.com but since the Miui Devs haven't made a stable release for HTC Evo Shift they don't have a rom available to download there. Then i went to miui.us which was filled with roms! the only versions of Miui for HTC Evo Shift available are 2.3.23 and 2.3.30 and this would seem okay but unfortunately neither of those versions work correctly. And they don't contain just simple bugs. the PHONE app doesn't work unless 3g data is turned off (When trying to receive calls a "com.android.phone has stopped working" message will appear and it will when trying to call as well. after that it resets mobile network). i've been looking everywhere but i can't find a fix that will work.
I found a fix on a thread that promised to do the trick by replacing "framework.jar" in the /system/framework .zip file for installing. But i tried twice and came across the same problem
I just want a stable version of Miui for my precious HTC Evo Shift. Miui Pyromod ROM fixes the phone problem and it works on daily bases just fine but it still lacks stability. I WANT A PERFECT MIUI PORT FOR SPEEDY.
...and this is when you come in:
Do you guys have any links(more researching), ideas(ways to fix the phone app problem), will to help, or even fix the rom for us:laugh:?!
I have the last MIUI.us release for the shift with the phone app fix applied on my computer, I can try to upload it later for you.
Edit: I found it on my windows partition and starting to upload now, will be a minute though because I am downloading gigs worth of stuff at the same time.
should be 2.3.30 with the fix

Thanks BigSplit!
Oh Boy!

The extended settings mod gives u some extra tweaks to play with. You flash the overscroll zip through recovery like a rom, then install the apk.
The apps name will show up as miui control panel

There's also PyroMod (its 2.1.20 I believe, it didn't have the phone problem) on ROM Manager, one of my personal favorites.... I've been trying to get a more functional MIUI v4 working on the Shift but alas I have not gotten it working yet... I'm still trying tho. I love MIUI!
PyroSucks!

Yeah it's on the back burner right now, I gotta finish other projects but I'll be going back to it soon... I probably will need help, I've already made three attempts and it never gets past the first lock screen.

I can always use testers gonna finish up on my MotoBlur ICS ROM and try and get back to MIUI V4. Or v5 whichever I can get working. We need a 4.0+ MIUI ROM... the EVO has like ten of them. We have one that was a WIP.
I'm so lonely!
has anyone experienced roms that will not send texts if they're over 160 characters? i know miui turns them directly into mms and it doesn't cause any problems. and i remember a rom gave me an option to "split sms" and it fixed it, but i dunno!

Well, if you want a solution for any rom, you can use GoSMS and in settings just check the "split messages" box
I think there was also a zip that you could flash to fix this somewhere...but it mightve been for certain android versions only
