Hey xda,

I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).

My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)

I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.

Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!

Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Hello and welcome!

My suggestions:

If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.

If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.

All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.

As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] twistedtrix:
insertcoin is a nice mix between sense 2.1 and 3.0
[G2 and Desire Z General] skmpowdjy:
I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Techngro:
Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.

Good luck anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] infamousjax:
virtuous g-lite is faster than cyanogenmod... check it out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Try a stock rom! Or dive in and before you know it you will be flashing new roms every other day.
[G2 and Desire Z General] floored24:
fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.

Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z

if u don't want sense...

If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo
[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ctraywick1:
I 2ND that.. pyromod 2.0 is the best... no force closes and faster than a Russian prostitute just check out the video for the rom. I've been on it forever (currently awaiting 3.0 which supposedly drops tonight/soon)

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd recommend insertcoin.

I'd also recommend trying out Miui and vanilla based Roms :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] coolice1:
In time, yep, will be flashing around here and there and i'll know for myself. I just wanted to know which ones are the best to start of with. I remember when i got my Milestone, man, i flashed all the bad roms first, had soo many problems.

Especially when ROM threads exceed 50 pages, Yikes!! Takes forever to go through them.

Thanks though!

[Captivate General] zmore:
Curious to know which specific Captivate hardware revisions are still plagued with GPS, and random shutdown problems? Me too. So pop open your captivate, look under the battery for the rev number, and vote.

I'm guessing that a lot of the older revisions (which aren't tested refurbs) are still more problematic than the newer revs (even if running non-stock ROMS), but if there's enough data points in the poll maybe we'll see a pattern emerge that's better than anecdotal evidence (such as my 1008 being stable as a 10-legged chair.)
[Captivate General] little8020:
I have 1007 crappy GPS butt it works never had any problem worth random reboots

Purchased mine at the end of July 2011 i could go and warranty replace it because of the GPS but aren't some of the new ones having the 3 button combo problems, or is that also an old version that's fixed bow
[Captivate General] zelendel:
The issues are not build spicific. They can plague any build.
[Captivate General] zmore:
Yes, but most of the problems should be concentrated in specific builds, as lessons are learned and higher-quality parts are used, since pissed off customers and replacement phones cost $.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Have a look around the threads and you will see that it really is very random. Like I have a 1011 build with no issues what so ever and that includes being able to use one click odin to go back to 2.1 when it had 2.2 pre-installed, while others that have the same thing and use it and wind up in a bootloop with tons of issues. GPS as always sucked in all models compared to other phones.
[Captivate General] little8020:
They supposedly made the GOP's a little8020 better with done if the new models but that doesn't mean is good

So it is just a luck of the draw to get the different problems with the different builds
[Captivate General] vollmus:
I'm on my fifth right now, all had/have shutdown issues, first one also had GPS issues, fifth one also has screen problems. First three were 10.07, then 10.09, fifth is 1011. I'm not bothering to hope my sixth will actually work but I'm going to keep making them send me replacements as long as they keep sending me broken phones.
[Captivate General] studacris:
I have flashed 4 separate captivates. Mine is a 1010 my sister has a 1012, her bf first had a 1011 he broke the screen and got an insurance replacement that new one is a 1012 and it came with froyo preinstalled on it. I have had no random shut down issues with any of them, or any problems using odin one click, which some 1010+ have. GPS works great, granted none of them are on stock so that could be the fixes in the roms.

phones are just as individualistic as their owners.
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I had a 1007 that was working brilliantly save for the typically halfbaked GPS, until its internal NAND chip died. It was CM7'd, but it must have automatically used my external as a fallback (partitioned and ruined it >_>), allowing me to flash it back to stock.

My warranty-replacement was another 1007, but came software-bricked out of the box and lacked the button combos for download mode. I couldn't fumble together a working jig, so I gave up and blasted ATT for giving me a broken phone as a replacement.

After hollering at them for 12+ hours and getting them to ship me a new phone, my current one is a 1102. I just did everything from ADB and CWM; I'm not going to try and muck with it and I doubt that it's going to take oneclick well considering that it is almost like a 1.1 hardware revision as I would guess from the sudden jump in number. Considering how the 1007 that came with Froyo lacked button combos once softbricked, I'm not ambitious enough to try with the 1102. GPS actually works well, words I never thought I'd say with this phone.

Safe to say, I'm just going to ride out my contract now on Froyo. I voted for the 1102 with no major issues.
[Captivate General] creepyncrawly:
My first phone was a 1006. It had very poor GPS on stock but was eventually usable with GPS fixes, running LBSTest Mode in the background, etc. It also developed random shutdown issues after about three months, which started slowly but got more frequent as time went by. I got it replaced about February 1st by AT&T through the mail, not in a service center. The tech I was connected to because of the shutdown issues claimed the replacement would be a rebuilt with a new outer case but used parts inside and would not have random shutdown issues. The build number of the replacement is 1008, but of course that probably doesn't mean anything. The replacement GPS worked fine out of the box before I flashed, and has also worked fine on Andromeda. It locks in a reasonable amount of time, and tracks almost perfect. I have only had one trip in four months where it didn't stay on the road. I have also had no other hardware problems with this phone. Judging by my experience alone, I would say there are definitely differences from build to build, but of course that is anecdotal rather than scientific.

Normal logic makes you want to buy a super high class

micro sd (like class 10), but the key is the speed of

random writes, and those happen to be the lower classes.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomarx:
Yup, not much a difference using higher class microSDs.. i'm more interested in bigger capacity.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueyedevil:
Well, if you use bigger capacity, I guess you need to transfer some files to fill that up. And thus the higher the transfer speed, the easier it will be for you to use that huge storage space you just bought.

Imagine having a 32Gb card class2. If you want to put your music and some movies on it to use the phone as a portable media player, you might be in for a long wait while you transfer those files. And this long wait will be there for you every time you need to change the music/movies you have on the card.

I'm using a 16Gb A-Data class 6 for my files and when you have to transfer some big files/folders it really comes in handy. Waiting 5 minutes is easier then waiting 20 min, unless you start all your transfers before going to sleep.

As for the low random speeds that these cards might have, I have a ROM using an ext4 partition on the card and I don't feel it being slow. Actually is a lot faster then stock ROM, so it's all good (I don't spend too much time in benchmarks to worry with those numbers anyway).

Wow, it is cheap for 560php... My Kingston 8GB Class 4 MicroSD at CDRKING is 680PHP (16$), IF its really a true Class 6 card, then its a steal for 560php (12$)... The low price makes me a bit hesitant to recommend it....

But if your willing to risk it, buy it, then use a SD benchmark software (H2testw comes to mind) to check if its a real class 6.

Personally, I dont think a class 6 and a class 4 card has much difference, since I'm not sure about the Optimus One's read/write speeds, it may/may not to be able to utilize it... UNLESS you are going to copy/move files using an external card reader, then maybe you can feel the difference. :D
