Which ROM is the closest to stock GB with the ability to OC?

Probably one of these:

personally i use cyanogenmod and i think that would be the best one to utilize! a lot of roms are based of cyanogen and for good reason too. cm7 gives you a much better experience than stock GB or modified stock GB. if you are going to install a new rom might as well go with cm 7

Another vote for Cyanogen. Works amazingly well.
Why do you want to stay so close to stock? Stock sucks (as do the other LG-based builds), IMHO.

Yah i like stock because the launcher is alot snappier and i like the black background of the launcher and the 3d waterfall effect. Also the green statusbar icons. It's the little things. IMO Stock GB feels snappier, especially the launcher. If you guys could provide me with some tips to get CM7 snappy and stock looking that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Well you're asking for something that's not possible as of yet. If you want stock gb (2.3.3), there are currently no kernels that will allow you to overclock. If you want to overclock, it's either 2.2, 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. (For now, at least. Not sure if any devs are working on a 2.3.3 kernel or not.)

CM7 is ok, but the lack of ability to control HDMI output and the fact that the HBO Go app doesn't work are big drawbacks for me. I switch back and forth between CM7 and xboarder's rom based on my needs.

I am currently on xboarder's rom (tweaked GB) what's the method of installing CM7 and switch back to tweaked GB without losing apps/data, etc when I want to. Thanks!

I'm noif you create a backup you should be able to switch back and forth between backups.

Overclocking is the realm of the kernel, not the ROM (though kernels are ROM-specific)
faux's is probably the best for OCing, and it runs on CM7 and EaglesBlood. EB is closer to stock, though CM7 is a wonderful, wonderful ROM.

Thanks everyone! I found a better choice. Faux's AOSP ROM. How come no one suggested it haha

Gingerbread vs ICS on p500

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one of those versions
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app

> ICS is fast in terms of performance, it also have this 3D hardware acceleration, drains battery a bit faster than gb and froyo.. but ICS uses more RAM ans eats more space on system partition unlike GingerBread where in you'll get about 300mb free RAM and 120+ mb free internal memory (google apps included) already. Disadvantages of ICS as for now.. is HQ video play back.

ICS feels much smoother and beautiful than GB, but it's unusable for me because of high RAM usage and HQ video bug

GB is stable and best for our beloved optimus p500 ! Whereas ICS is unstable because of HQ video recording & playback!
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app

yup at the moment GB is at the top with everything working(ignorin minorities)..

Im back to ginger

ICS feels smoother, and visually is awesome. But has the issue of the openmax libs.
GB depends on the rom that you use. Its estable and many roms are for daily use.
The question is if you are a uses it only for calling, messaging and sometimes needs a faster loading speed. [ICS].
Or for multimedia. [GB]

Are you talking here about stock GB vs. custom ICS or compairing both custom roms?
I wonder which are adv. and disadv. between stock GB and custom ICS?
Is it better or 'natural' for our device to run on (rooted) stock GB?

Stock GB is a pile of crap.

i guess the audio in ics is way far better than then gingerbread..

Both custom

may i throw in a third option beside ics and gb?
when i got my device i immediatly updated to gingerbread...
was nice, everything worked and it had nice battery...
seeing so many devices on market with ics i also wanted it and i got hephappys cm9...
sometimes crashes but less than on cm7 after gingerbread...
everything worked fine but as already mentioned less sys space...
now when jelly bean is released i searched for a cm 10 for the o1 because it was supposed to run smoother and that stuff..
currently im running cm10 on my phone, the battery life is not best, its ok, and the camera works even with some glitches.
when you can live with those i would really suggest you to try jb cause its MUCH smoother than gb and ics, you have cool new features like the notification system and google now, still not with voice but it is on its way
just my 10 cents

ICS > GB
If you are looking for battery life, stock ROM (GB) is best. But once you flash ICS, then it's hard to go back, really!!
ICS feels much different and intuitive than GB. Though battery drain is a problem with custom ROMs.
I am currently using Hephappy rc-2 prerelease CM9 ROM.
Almost all features works with only new glitches. Waiting for Final release with curiosity!
After using ICS, I feel GB an outdated looking ROM.
So, don't use ICS rom, otherwise you ll never be able to use GB!!

One more thing, Browsing is more than 2x faster on ICS ROMs than GB!!!!

Not true.
Stock ICS keyboard just works.
Now get rid of any ordinary keyboards and get Swype. I use bi-lingual Swype here and it works REALLY smoothly and beautiful.

Use minimal ics keyboard from themes and app section only 1.3 mb.

My favourite: GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel
1. Stock GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel.
2. GB 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod or Oxygen)
3. ICS
Currently I'm running a very light stock rom (bloatware heavily removed) + ta kernel v.1.1 + custom apps that I use frequently (daily) + themed. Everything works fine (including call recording by Sanity), it's quite fast (I use SetCPU: 122-600 in general and 245-748 for the launcher and certain slower apps) and it has an excellent battery life. Those other apps that I use rarely (weekly or more) are installed in a second rom (based on cyanogenmod) that i boot from my sdext partition with multirom manager whenever necessary.

Couple of questions, new member and user of atrix 2

Hi guys, im new in the site as ive bought an atrix 2 yesterday, and i have a few queries regarding the ics update. I havent updated to ics yet.
1) should i download the 10 free ea games before updating or after?
2) how do i use a music file from the sd card as a ringtone?

Welcome Night Wing!
First I would recommend updating to ICS before installing any other apps.
Second, in whatever music app you use, long press on a song and you should get an option to select it as your ringtone.
Welcome to the club. Be sure to read all the stickies mate!

Or you can drop it in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard... reboot, and you should see it in the ringtones selection in Settings.
You might have to trim it down if it's a big audio file.. not sure
Sent from my phone's mind

I updated to ICS (OTA) the day it was released and it was nothing but trouble for me (I have a thread about it). After about a month of dealing with issues AT&T sent me a replacement phone. It's gingerbread and I'm leaving it that way.
That is my personal experience though, I'm sure there are others that have had success or I wouldn't think the update would still be available. If you do update, I'd be very curious to hear about your results.

I've serious lag issues and sometimes even reboots on the stock ics. (never had any on GB)! I seriously wanna try a custom rom which is fast and snappy! I wanted to check out cm10 but it still has too many bugs. Other option is Scv7 now. Which 1 is recommended (if other good roms which are stable without bugs, do mention) ?

i tried every single ics rom ,and found that CM roms have too many bugs for me to have it for daily mostly camera issues, miui roms have real great potential but batt is really wierd, swiftytrix is by far the most stable (in my experience) plus is batt friendly, but ill stay with scv7, fast and smooth just love it , even without init.d support available

i'm looking for a rom, which does not skip frames. i mean iphone smoothness. i guess this can be achieved with a JB aosp/aokp + nova launcher, but i was not lucky enough. ive tested initiate your swagger, opensensation 2, paranoid. Maybe someone found the perfect rom + kernel? And i would like to run angry birds on jb, all of mentioned roms do not run the game correctly

Did you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 Go for the 10thDec2012 build. I was having lock screen freezing (while USB charging) issues with the 21stDec2012 build so I reverted to the earlier build.
I had an older version of Angry Birds 2.1.1 which is playing ok on this ROM.
You can download the ROM from http://goo.im/devs/bruce2728
more precisely http://goo.im/devs/bruce2728/cm-10-20121210-bruce2728-pyramid.zip
Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your current setup before flashing.

It's true - 1.5.2 surprised me, animations are perfect in 99%! Despite delayed responses, the rom is the best I've ever had on sensation.

Have tried. ViperS beats down all other sense roms, s-o-m 1.0.4 is slower even with half of htc stuff removed

Is there really that much difference between 4.1.2 and 4.4?

I'm using Stock 4.1.2 and except 5ghz wifi isn't working am pretty happy with it.
Do the later custom roms add enough performance enhancements to warrant the effort? For me the 'proper' dpi and tablet layout of stock is highly preferred so any other layout is really not desired.
Thanks.

84 views and not one reply......wow that would seem to suggest not a lot of difference.

Try it and see for yourself. +1 for sky high 4.1.2. It all depends what you want, I need hdmi out so Sammy Rom for me.
Good luck.

I realise I can try it but as posted in the original question there's no point trying it if there's not a lot of difference.....and at the moment there seems little, if any, beneficial difference.

Wow. I had good reasons to move away from the stock ROM back when I did it. But that was so long ago, I can't remember what they were specifically. I think a lot of people are in that same boat, which is why you aren't getting any responses here.
I would say that if you're happy with the stock ROM, then stick with it! The easiest upgrade you can do is to install an aftermarket launcher, like NovaLauncher or GoLauncher. You'll get a ton of features that will allow you to customize your home screen layout without having to mess with rooting and flashing ROMs and recoveries.
