I just recently got a 6700, and when I first received it, I didn't realize it had the old rom in place. I switched from an HTC Universal, and I thought the 6700 seemed significantly slower than the Uni.
Well, over the last 3 hours I reinstalled after a ROM upgrade. All I can say is that there are significant improvements in the speed of the device. Menus pop up quicker, the camera loads faster, and screen rotating is almost instantaneous. Well worth the time to load everything back in place. Highly recommended upgrade.
Where did you download it??
Just wondering if i could get the website you downloaded the ROM update from. Thanks
i think you can get it from here

There are a few unofficial ROMs and Kitchens available at PPCGeeks.
I don't know that I'd trust the vaguely labeled file hosted at rapidshare (linked in previous post).

I got two Archos 70 250GB the other day, one for my son and one for myself. We both applied the gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk fix.
We both have the same OS (latest) and his Market works perfectly. Mine does not. He finds apps that I cannot find and I have reset the market so many times.
For example, he sees Rocket Bunnies but I cannot find it at all.
How do I get around this?
TIA

I believe there is another gapps floating around somewhere, check the cyanogen nightly build thread on the hd2 nand forums

Turns out his was acting up similarly too! Thanks for the info too; though not happy to root a new piece of kit.

I've been in the Development forum and the threads are sometimes over 400 pages. I was wanting to see a more concise thread on what you're using. Specifically the ROM, the kernel, the radio, etc. If you're having any issues please add them and let me know how the ROM is working for you. I'm interested in a few different ROMs, but chosing which kernel and radio to get them to work properly is a pain to find in the 200-400 page threads.
Most of us rep our current ROM and kernel in our sigs. I personally tried to link the radio too, but the URL was too long.
As to the length of threads/ forums, you can refine your search to the current forum or thread you are on right above the thread/ post list at the right of the frame.
They tried doing this a few months back, doing reviews about roms and known bugs and such. It didn't get very far. While its a good idea, the very nature of roms is "change" so while a review might be valid and have the correct bugs, it could be invalid next week, due to update made to the rom. The best way to evaluate a rom your considering choosing, is reading the change log, and the last ten or more pages of the roms thread, that should give you an idea if any one is having any major bugs.
ROMs are based personally. Try them all then pick.

Maybe if the Roms stated "Final Version" on them you could pull this off. But None do.
After a lot of unhelpful replies, I'll respond to the question the person actually asked.
I'm using Lees Rom and Kernal and LOVE it. I settle on it after a friend told me it was his favorite and after trying about 4 other ROMs with crappy results.
It is loaded with features and it also has a patch to use Sense 3.0. I personally like Sense more than any custom attempts I have seen and 3.0 is worlds better than 2.x
I still have the stock radio because I can't seem to get it to update. I have been trying by renaming the radio img zip to P98img.zip (or whatever its called) and updating through the bootloader on the phone. But it always gives me an error parsing the package.
Only thing that worries me is that for some reason (the last few times I tried) I couldn't get into bootloader/recovery by holding volume- while booting. So if the phone ever gets locked up, I'm not sure how to recover. You can get into either through the custom power down menu though which is very cool.

And I'm sure you'll be back to update your post once those issues in Lee's ROM are resolved, or you figure out it wasn't the ROM fault, after all, or if you decide you don't like sense anymore, right?
That's what those "unhelpful" posts were trying to get across.
These things change. ROMs get fixed.
Sometimes users of ROMs pull their heads out of their ass' and figure out their problems were actually of their own creation, after they blamed the ROM.
So when a new user comes around a month from now, finds a best ROM post that has obsolete information, that new user will form an unfair opinion of what might now be (or always was) a great ROM.
Now *that's* unhelpful.

be sure you have Fastboot turned off in Applications.
Another thing you can do is download Quickboot from the market...then boot into bootloader from there. Quickboot>bootloader

Really? You call me unhelpfull for being honest yet you post and don't even post anything helpful. infact you noobed the whole post. You can't even flash a radio...Or figure out how to boot into recovery....Your Rom information is valueless. You should jump off your pedistal before you fall....Or someone pushes you....

I think it was that "alot of unhelpful replies" part that did it for me.
I'm not looking to find out what Rom is best, but to see what combinations of roms, kernels, and radios you guys are using. It's almost impossible to find an exact combo and even harder to dig thru the threads to see what people are using.
I browse a lot of threads, have only commented a few times. Been browsing for a couple years when I flashed different WinMo 6.5 roms on my ATT Fuze, as well as loading and running Android 2.1 and 2.2 from the SD card on the same phone. I will +1 some of the advice heard here so far:
Start by looking at threads where the ROM's have been updated recently (within the ten days for me). Check the change log to see if it's new features, upgrades, or bug fixes in the current updates. Or if it's a mix of it all, but look for things that interest you. Then, as stated earlier in this thread, check the last ten pages, at least the ones since the current update became available.
Also, it helps me to watch who is responding on the threads. Many users will became recognizable to you by name and avatar, and watch their post counts too. Lastly, check their signatures, most of the active senior members keep it updated with the information you are looking for. If they put it in the sig, it's because they are happy with what works and want to share it. Until the next thing better comes along.
PS, yes, I don't post a lot and yes I'm still on stock. Running dual OS's on my fuze was easy, don't feel comfortable yet pulling the trigger on my Inspire, but I'm off for the summer soon, more time to spend on it.

I know you don't want to look through the threads, but that is kind of the requirement. Every rom, kernel, and radio is going to work differently on every phone. It's like buying to exact same lap tops with the same exact os and programs, and with out doing any thing, the next day one of them crashes.
To be honest, and as helpful as I can, the only way is read the last few posts in the thread, to see if there is any major bugs. Then flash the rom, kernel, and or radio and test them out on your phone.

That's the the thing, though. There'll be at least one person running every possible combo out there.
One will say it's da bomb, another will say it froze his phone.

+1 and ditto
What is the main point/purpose/question of starting this thread?
You say you don't want to find the "best" rom (granted your thread title does have the word ROM in it).....so you are trying to find the best combo correct? (which still depends on what you are trying to get out of the combo)
........And like its been said.....really just look at the sigs and the more "serious" devotees will have their ROM and more info all written in the sig (which is a two-fold thing 1. it promotes the work 2. for these type of questions (to give a sort-of consensus)
But that doesn't necessarily mean it will solve whatever you are trying to get out of this thread.......
because everything changes so rapidly, you have to keep up......or basically find the "best" parts that you won't/don't change much (like radios, etc.) and find the one you like.......then focus on the changeables like Rom, etc. because your view on roms change more frequently than the others.
All these types of topics are very subjective....and takes reading to find a "decent" answer to your question.....in the end your surrounded by a great community (XDA)...but ultimately your alone
If you get what im saying...
You could do the popularity thing......see whats in the sigs, and do that
If it works good for you.....don't worry about whats "best/better".......because you won't know whats better, you will just know what is working good for YOU (which is all that matters)
Lastly....to "answer your question".....lol......read my sig :-D
I get that this phone is old. I often buy older tech for family. It saves money and it generally works. However, I also generally hack older technology to get the most out of it. In the Case of the G2X, this would involve getting something roughly CM9-based onto the phone.
I've spent the afternoon in persuit of this. There are 4 major options: Genesis, Hellfire, Owain and EaglesBlood. They all seemed to have stopped development back in 2012 --- but I'm cool with that. CM10 based efforts seem to have too many problems (like the phone not working) to be a viable option.
So... the result of an afternoon of hacking? All the links are dead. Every one of them. Eagle's blood seems to still have a web page working, but I've tried multiple browsers and none of their links are working. I'm vaguely thinking of trying my tablet there next... but I'm of little hope there.
... so does anyone have currently working links for ICS (CM9) based projects?
I don't have any working links, sorry. But I will say that eaglesblood was my main daily driver for the year and a half that I used this device. It was an amazing ROM and looked great. I would try to google it and see if there are working links lurking around forums. I still have my g2x and might have the ROM saved on it. If I do, I'll post it here.

I have the resources to post a link that will not vanish to the ROM if someone would get me a copy.
Hey guys,
Just a quick question just noticed on Lineage OS download page that the Nvidia Shield Tablet is not supported anymore? Anyone has heard any news about this? Searched around google but have not found anything Its funny i have a build of lineage os still on my system wondering if its worth installing it.
Update: I checked the Lineage thread yeah it looks like they stopped supporting it hopefully with more people on board support will be open again. Anyways for those who are looking for the final build for the April update which was the last updated before support was pulled i added the link to where to download. Have fun!!

I thought they just started officially supporting it again recently. Guess it didn't last very long.
I wish Nvidia would release a new Shield Tablet. By far the best Android device I've ever owned.
A pretty bad memory leak was found in the 15.1+ builds. Until a fix for that is made, there won't be any more official releases. Fwiw, not everyone is affected badly by it. But when I have to reboot every couple days just using a browser, a couple chat clients, and an ssh client? Yeah, I'm not going to call that stable and sign off on a release. But I haven't stopped work, no. And don't plan to either.
looking fwd to the next build!
