Hi people, how are you. I still can't find a ROM to stick with. For those who have tested many roms, which one is the most complete package? Fewest bugs and most stable?
Right now I'm on EB 2.3.3 and it's really nice, but I got a few errors (lost connectivity, txt took forever to receive). It hasn't happened since, and I hope it stays this way.
So, what are you running, and why.
Your on a good one...they all have little things wrong with them...

Depends on what u looking for, wish i could combine all, cm tweaks+froyo cam+froyo a2dp.
been on cm7 nightlies, birgertime 2.3.5, whitehawks MIUI and 2.3.3 OTA build, EagleBlood all of them, faux's from AOSP to right before he started to work on a CM7 source build, xboarder's stock tweaked...
Right now I'm on Whitehawk's 2.3.3 rom and I like it enough to stay with it, but really want kernel options and LG cam. EB froyo was super stable and still have that has my reliable (won't be near a computer to flash and play with roms) Nandroid. So I'd say stick with EB for now to be honest. That and he updates with the most stable updates IMO... infact I might be flashing back to that tonight, after thinking about it lol.
Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the latest MIUI? I loved it on my G2, but it seems really buggy for the G2X.

I am running it with the faux latest kernel. It has been pretty stable. I like the fact that you have so many options in terms of themes and lockscreens.
I have tried many ROMS but CM7 still stand out. CM7 is solid.

Dude and I'm digging the browser in the new one, kinda like dolphin, I like how u hit back once and it actually goes back a page also u can scroll with the volume buttons lol the newest miui is nice!
I just can't run any CM7 rom given the lack of a2dp. this is such a basic and crucial functionality missing that i cannot imagine having a rom without it.

+1 , me too, forgot how much i missed and used it... i try to go to cm but i always leave based on that and hdmi out at 1080 is not working... all which of those work perfect on the 2.3.3 roms.
xboarder cm7/stock remix is the most stable i tried so far. right now im on weapon g2x which is good clean rom.
i just did the clockworkmod flash and done a full backup and was going to try a few roms without all the bloatware tmobile puts on.. but i HAVE to have a rom that is stable with wifi calling because i have 0 signal at home and wifi calling is very important to me.. in fact the stock wifi calling is kind of flaky on this g2x and would like a rom that might have this perfected a bit more.. any recomendations?
thanks

I have the same issue with no signal and needing wifi calling. without a doubt X-boarders stock tweaked is the best I have been on for stability and daily use. I havent been on the new weapon rom yet but I have been hearing good things about it. right now I am trying out faux new aosp with his OC kernel and for two days it has been solid. Only had one data drop so far. X-boarders is the way to go I think. I have been considering going back until Miui or CM7 is more solid.
Now I am under the impression that the camera on this phone has greater capabilities then any of the android operating systems (including roms) allow am i correct in this thinking?? and was the lg camera the best?
currently i am running latest eaglesblood which i like very much so.
i am not that tech savy and have a hard time understanding the complexites of video and capture with 720p and all will there be an upgrade?? for cm7 based roms
basically where do we stand and where are we going for 2.3.5 with camera??
ps. same basic question but with hdmi??
IMO the lg camera rules. The CM7 based cameras are very dark, they don't see light properly. Eagles blood does not play nice with stock lg camera. I tried flashing lg cam to it and it replaced both camera apps that come biult in. It also stoped me from getting a signal, and no battery indicator.
Probably try cm7 nightly 2.3.4 and try installing stock camera there. Not sure if that will work. I will try and respond here.
DO NOT USE LG CAMERA WITH CM7 IT IS NOT COMPATIABLE JUST YET. DIDNT YOU READ THE THREAD? THAT IS WHY IT DOESNKT WORKON EB BECAUSE IT IS CM7 BASED. IT WILL BE COMPATABLE BUT doniqcc said it is going to take a lot of work be wise the framework is completely different Anyway that's the deal just be pacient it will happen.

Try installing the latest MIUI... 1.9.11 I believe.
The camera in that is AMAZING. Touch-to-focus works great, and focuses really well. Better than the LG Cam IMO, and it's 2.3.5 based!
import
now i tried the miui rom and in my experience i had so many bugs and fc
would it be possible to import that to cm7 or cm7 based roms?
waiting for the next whole none nightly solid CM7.
jbdaka6445 is right miui sucks. Actually it is a decent looking ROM espicially if you like the ****ty Iphone. But I hafd it installed and Iusually keep a New ROM installed at least a few days but I could not staND ALL THE FC AND BUGS.
I'm not new to modding at all, and don't need any technical help. I have been using a stock G2x since it came out and I've decided it's time for an upgrade. I noticed that there are quite a few roms for the G2x (18 listed in the "All roms," thread), and several of them look very well done. I'd like to know which one you think is the best, and why. Very technical answers are fine with me. The things I look for most in a rom are reliability, speed, and battery life. Flashy graphics are nice, but not my key concern. Thanks in advance for your input!

right now there are ICS roms and GingerBread roms. I'd suggest that you pick a GB rom since you mentioned reliability in your concerns. I'd start out by trying with CM7, then EaglesBlood's, thn hellFire Phoenix's. Those are the best GB roms imo. And the only most stable (non of the ICS rom is stable yet) ICS rom is HellFire Sandwich
I use Weapon G2x 3.0 R1 with Faux SV Kernel and Mixer Theme. I use it because its based on stock and doesn't have any issues. The Faux Kernel always me to OC to 1.2 without any issues and Mixer Theme just makes it look that much more fantastic. Its Awesome!

I'll probably wind up sticking with a GB rom until ICS becomes more stable unless someone reports one that works incredibly well. It's my only phone and I use a lot of its functionality for business or recording video/pictures, so it would be terrible if I had usability issues. Thanks for the input, this is exactly the type of info I'm looking for!

Thanks! I should have also asked which kernel people are using (and why). Themes are great, but I'll wait until I figure out which rom I'm going to use and then just track down a theme that's compatible with it.

If video recording is one of ur main concerns, then stay away from any ICS roms. None of them have properly working camcorder atm.

Or reliable video decoding.
But, I use Bionix Reloaded v1.4 It works very smoothly, is based off of OTA 2.3.3, and the battery life is superb. Coupled with Faux's kernel, its a dream. Are you looking for stability and battery life, or performance and customization?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
WHat about the ICS roms... I want to know what people think about the hellfire rom and the eagles blood ics stuff. Im running eagles blood... but want some feedback on the other stuff out there.
Okay, really no one is going to have the same opinion as you. Try them out for yourself and you will probably like one better than what anyone will recommend to you.

A good mix of them stability and battery life are the most important, but performance is also a big issue since I run several processor intensive apps on a regular basis. As long as the performance is at least as good as stock, then I'll be happy.
Well customization on OTA is pretty limited, besides different themes on GoLauncher or similar apps. But on the plus side, best battery life by far. Just uninstall apps you don't use like Wi-Fi calling, My Account, etc., and use a replacement apps for the Gallery (Don't know why is wastes battery, but it does. I suggest QuickPic).
Also, for better performance, use a kernel like Faux's that allows Overclocking for better performance, and undervolting for better battery life. Here's a benchmark so you get an idea of the performance.

I am very happy with New Clip. Kwes also has a very nice "ICS like" theme that is terrific. I combined that with ADW ex and an ICS theme for it and I am set.
Everything runs flawlessly. GPS is very quick to lock. Never reboots. WiFi calling works. Blue tooth is perfect. Excellent battery life. It does everything I need a phone to do, plus it is ultra reliable. That is important if you use your phone for business. I can't afford dropped calls, lock ups, or reboots in the middle of an important call with a client.
Eagle's Blood
I put Eagle's Blood GB 2.3.7 on my son's G2X and it has been perfect for several days now. We both are dumbfounded at how long the battery lasts. He forgot to charge it the other night and at the end of two days it looked like he was only about halfway through the battery. Granted, he's at work for 9 hours a day and can't use the phone much there, but that's still pretty amazing to me. I'm on a Sensation and can't get through one day on my battery.
I put Hellfire Sandwich on his phone first, and while it was beautifully done he was having some stability issues (random reboots, overheating) which is why I flashed a new rom in the first place. Since it's his phone I didn't bother with trying to find or fix what may have been causing the issues on HFS.
Hope this helps!
I'm using Bionix with Faux. Best there is.

I wanna switch to ICS but its not stable yet. I hope next built is gonna be better....waking up to random FCs is not fun
So far, [NIGHTLY] CM7 is leading in the polls, and all of the answers have been very helpful. I think I'll try out several of the suggestions. How much of a difference is there in the different kernels that have been recommended?

yet that is what everyone is working on right now. so just be patient camera & video will be working just as good as gingerbread's camera & video.
I could not get any of the ROM's to work with internet or MMS until I flashed Weapon's ROM and used the Stock MMS that he included on the ROM thread. I am also running the G2x-FR/GB[2.6.32.9] Kernal [email protected] and it's running great. Many thanks to the Weapon's dev's!
Not sure if it because I am using Simple Mobile or not but I could not get any of the other ROM's to work.

Are you clean flashing? And also since you like Weapon you could try the New Clip add on

Can someone point me towards the best CM7 rom there is? I know they aren't really developed anymore, but I think they work best. I'm currently using SuperSensation, which seems to have a battery issue. (as far as I can tell) I tried downloading the original CM7 rom, but it doesn't seem to be up anywhere anymore!
So what would be the most recommended CM7 rom? Let me know, thanks.
This is probably the best of the bunch as far as I'm concerned:
HyperSensation:

Alternative download link: (The main link may be offline)
http://www.mediafire.com/?b36vja8imy63wtb
You will not find many CM7 builds, because Sensation was not an officialy supported CyanogenMod Device at the time.
I believe only Alpha builds were released, due to CM9 approaching.
Cheers.
Well thanks, do you suppose it'd work better than the ROM I am using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265946
I know that it is only alpha, but it is A LOT more stable than the CM9 Nightlies out there. The audio routing going on with ALL of the roms for CM9 is just where I draw the line.
I've been using CM7 and I love it. Never found an issue.
I'll download this rom and check it out for the sake of curiosity.
Sensation CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 10 (11/1) - 2.3.7
You can try this one. Used it before I went to CM9.

Audio routing has been fixed on the latest Open Sensation
If you're only looking for the CM experience but don't mind the HTC base being used for that but only stripped to achieve that, you can also try HyperNonSense. It doesn't have driver issues as the base is HTC's. I do have to say I haven't use CM in a while so it might be all bugs are eliminated with respect to WiFi, tethering and bluetooth eg.
GPU
Does anyone know why the GPU performance
is considerably worse on gingerbread ROMs
compared to ICS?
Could be because of the drivers, the 213 and 218 difference, see this thread for more information on the drivers. In short, 218 seems to be a lot faster than 213. There were some issues related to the drivers however, eg. Skype and Istagram were troubling. Not sure on the current status on that though.
So do the drivers work with gingerbread too?
I have been having trouble finding a kernel that supports MHL, and a decent ROM in which to run said kernel. I really like SKY and Embryo for their call recording functionality, but I also require the MHL HDMI support. I have heard that CM 10 runs MHL well, however my problem remains that I need a good ROM that supports the kernel without a brick/ineffiiciency. I am currently on GB 2.6.35 on a custom NEXUSMOD ROM and it simply doesn't cut it. If I can just flash my kernel that would be ok too.
Try them for yourself find what works if your too lazy for that then this isn't the site for you

Any cm10 Rom
Lightning kernel
but waffle is right, research bro
Yea, so far Im running Sky ICS, an older version because I like the call recording features; and the MHL is supported. CM10 is pretty awesome however I really do fancy the built in call recording! Thanks for the reply

CM10. Works really well. Other than than, just try them all out. Grab one a day until you find one you like.
Good luck.
mhl question
I'm not sure if this fits but i had a problem with mhl using CM10 (stable; kernel:kernel that came with it)
When i plug the adapter in the screen auto rotates to landscape, I'm ok with that, but the problem is any app (ex: temple run) that only has portrait mode isn't displayed. All I see is a black screen on my TV. I saw on youtube people with stock roms display portrait stuff so I was wondering if it was possible on CM. Anyone have similar problem? Help plz?
