[ROOT] G2X Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock ROM with flashable zip in Clockworkmod Recovery download both files to keep, make sure you have clockwork recovery and flash the root file.. that's it you can unroot with other if you're selling or returning..

Flash the latest, supports ext4.
Worked like a charm! Now what kind of rom would you suggest? Performance is key as long as it's stable.
cm 7.1.0.1 with faux123 .42 kernel, best performance+stabilty evvvvaaaarrrrrr!

bonk away!
Now that it is finally stable, I would recommend nothing other than CM7 (that's because I have yet to need to try anything else). I have heard great things about Weapon G2x, though. Just remember: wipe, wipe, and wipe.

Try rooted stock for a while to get a feel for the phone. I have been running stock GB since it came out and am very happy with it.
there are soo many roms to choose from. just find one that suits you. you'll never be bored lol
I am bored, they're all the same just a little ui change. My best is Froyo for this dumb g2x phone.. I tried all the Roms that are 2.3.3 and they keep freezing l,rebooting, shutting down.. its very stable on froyo. I don't understand how others are not having issues but oh well, its dual and already paid for.. and plus, I gotta try to stop wanting the best everytime I have a working phone

Yeah it showed up.. about 5 or 6 mbs. Optimization update is what it said. But i am S-OFF and rooted so i defered it... Until i find out what it is... Its an HTC OTA.

HTC/T-Mobile needs to stop releasing patches and give us a full ROM.
Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.
I haven't seen an ota... Weird
rooted 1.55.531.3 with clockwork recovery and SU
The DS is the red headed step child of htc. I doubt we will get any full roms any time soon. We are stuck with 2.3.4 plus patches until........forever. Lol. We might see 2.3.5 but that is even a long shot.

As for the OTA, what is your software version? There was a small OTA that came out around 5-6 months ago; it was 5.44 MB I believe, and it brought the ROM up from 1.28.531.9 to 1.28.531.10.

Just have to look PyroICE Roms are nice ICS Roms, with everything working (But the 4.0 Port). I guess most people want ICS these days. There's a CM9 port, no MMS or video camera on that one. Wifi is kinda weird, but hey! Its AOSP/CM9 with a working camera.

Well, if you are on x.xx.xxx.9 software version, then the first update notification you get is the small OTA referenced above.
Then you can do the current (paused) OTA manually because we have it sourced here, which will fail miserably in trying to give you what you need to unlock the bootloader.
If you want to move up to either the buggy or working versions of 1.55.531.3 software, make sure to S-OFF it first so you don't get stuck. S-OFF prior to applying the OTA is persistant.
As to the ROMs...if you don't see something you like, just make or ( more likely ) learn how to make your own. Anything reasonable is possible, just takes someone to sit down and invest the time in actually doing it before it's available.
That is why we are here, after all, to learn how to do it our way, whatever that is - so the more we all learn and share helps us all.

Wise points kind sir... I may start. I have been wanting to dev for a while but havent had time to sit down with a rom and tear it to pieces.

Let's face it, ML1 has been a divisive update for a phone with a community that was already dying when MF1 came out.
I had been hoping that Beans, the Synergy team, or someone else would take one more crack at our phone, but sadly I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
We should be happy with what we have though. A stock rooted knoxless 4.3 rom to nandroid back and forth from and a healthy AOSP community that should carry us through at least another year or two (or until you get a new phone).
In the end, this phone and its glorious 2GB of RAM deserved better. By all means there's nothing preventing it from running the next few versions of Android so long as Qualcomm keeps providing fresh code and drivers. But I guess Samsung and Verizon had their own plans of obsolescence.
We just got the rooted stock 4.3 in the last day or so, correct?
I'm pretty sure you'll see some magic happen over the next few weeks and we'll get updated versions of your favorite 4.2 TW ROMs. I'd be shocked if we didn't get a few. There are still many developers with this phone who love Touchwiz, so why would they sit on their hands and not make it better?
Patience is a virtue.

I think in a bit of time they'll roll out. There were a few devs that said they'd update to it, but in no way should they be held to that. We just got a base last night, so I'd wait a bit longer. Besides, xposed can do great things for a stock rom.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It should be trivial to update/reissue the 4.1.2 roms to 4.3, but a lot of assumptions need to be made going forward.
Until somebody figures out Safestrap or Loki for the people who took the OTA and are now enknoxed, these roms should require MF1 or older. It would be horrible if somebody released a zip with the bootloader included.

Bootloader was not included in the stock rooted released last night. And I think those that jumped the gun and took the OTA may sadly be out of luck simply due to it being much less time intensive for a Dev to build of the recent stock release. Unless I am misunderstanding you.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I know the stock rooted doesn't include the bootloader, but that didn't stop me from triple checking before flashing it a few minutes ago.
I'm of the opinion that those who took the OTA are screwed just like people who did the same for the S4.

Agreed. Realistically it didn't take long at all for 4.3 to be cracked open. That will be what devs work off. Anyone on xda that knowingly took the OTA either purposely hung up their flashing habits or are really hedging their bets that someone will take the time to help the OTA folks. I just don't see that when there is this new stock release out there as a base.

Chances are, the locked bootloader probably won't get any attention at this point. S3 is an eol device and cracking the bootloader is probably too big of a task for devs to work on now...

It's the truth, its going to take somebody porting safestrap because there is no motivation for hashcode to do it for us (most likely use the vulns in the s4)
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Not really sure of the point of this thread. People were warned in advance of the ota not to take it. Now after a few weeks and some incredible work by a group of guys, we have a flashable 4.3. I guess you need to break it down into further detail to me what your compkaint is. Those who were patient and did not ota are pretty stoked right now. Those that didnt listen, well Happy New Year to all.

Kinda OT, but does Safestrap support kexec on the S4? I have been trying to port Safestrap to the S3 and *almost* got it working (everything up to and including creating and installing slots) but I can't get it to actually boot a slot. Even if I could get it to do that, w/out kexec I doubt it would get very far.
O.T.A.
I am so glad I didnt take the OTA,I dont know how I would make it without my flaching fix..I love checking out all the new roms.That new 4.3 tw that just came out on the 31 is smoking fast.The only bad thing is it started a new addiction,Xposed Framework!!LOL Im late to the party on that but Im glad I tried it(My Wife isn't):good::good:

From my knowledge it does not use kexec like what we used to use but a kind of hack to the boot.img that loads the system into memory.. The thing tho is that the s4 and n3 use the same vulns

I've got my 4.3 TW flying. Set all animations to 0.25 in Dev options, and did the same in Nova. Also modded my debug.composition.dyn to gpu in the build.prop and it's rivaling my cm11 rom I was on. I know it will never be CM smooth, but the signal and camera improvements do it for me.

So I just bought my S5 from sprint, rooted it, and would like to try out some ROMs.
It seems that certain ROMs only work for variants of this phone and I don't want to install something that's not meant for my phone.
I can't really seem to find any ROMs for this phone, maybe because it's so new? I'd like something that really cuts down on the bloatware of this phone and maybe adds some cool features. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
There is only one choice right now, but it is debloated so you might check it out in the Sprint S5 development forum. But with Xposed, I can get all the customizations I want without having to constantly flash new ROMs ... you should try it if you haven't already
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Will the debloated rom work with xposed framework or only with the stock rooted rom?

It'll work. Not all features may not be functional, but for the most part, guys are reporting it's working well!

Not to knock any of the devs working on this phone, but it's probably the worst phone I've had as far as dev support goes. I'm still waiting for a reason to root. Really miss the ROMs from my s4 and g2. Wish I had more time and better reading comprehension so I could learn more about rom development and help out the few devs that are working hard to get us some goodies. I'm a hands on kind of guy so reading tutorials doesn't really work for me.

You need to do your own research and decide for yourself. We are not here to do your homework. Read the OPs of the ROMs you are interested in. Pay attention to the bugs list and read the last 5 or so pages of the thread to see if any users are having issues. Remember XDA is not here to hold your hand. You are responsible for your device and so you must go do your own research.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Going to close this out before this goes into a "best ROM" thread.
If you want to know what ROMs to try, why not consider trying a few on your own and make a choice based on your own preference?
You will find you get a better understanding of what's out there as well.
Thanks!
