[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Sort of. He's saying that the only native hardware support currently exists in Froyo, so if you want everything to work as intended, that's really the best option.

If you want bleeding edge, its cool that we CAN run Honeycomb, but they are mostly frankenroms, pieced together from various sources and don't work 100%. I've noticed a dramatic difference in the way my tablet runs when I go back to Froyo from anything else- the transitions are smoother, response is faster, clicks more responsive, more apps work, hardware like the camera works, etc., and with hardware acceleration you can watch an HD video without resorting to overclocking and winding down your battery faster in the process.

Really, IMO, everything is better in Froyo and the only reason to have so much interest in the newer roms is for intellectual purposes (or just to say you can). They really don't run as well yet.

Now, there was a bit of a splash recently when someone on tabletroms managed to get a Honeycomb kernel from the Acer Iconia to boot on a Notion Ink Adam (very similar hardware to ours) without any modification. That means a lot of native driver support for Honeycomb might be coming soon. But not yet.

Can you recommend me some Froyo ROMs that are stable, fast, fully functional, and has good battery life?

Vegan 5.1.1 is an old rom but all the hardware works. Plants vs Zombies works, but Gun Bros doesn't (at least on mine).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
problem with 5.1.1 is that there isn't much support going on and some of the code is outdated.

Over at slatedroid, I'm trying out Brilliant Corners (based on vegantab, but more updated kernel, etc) and so far its everything 5.1.1 offers and then some. Quite happy with it, and everything seems to run full speed.

When I was running Ginger roms a month ago, I happened to review a Samsung Galaxy tab 10 and some other tablets with the same tegra 2 chipset as ours. I was so disappointed in my G-tab, I didn't realize how slow it had gotten without HW acceleration. Since installing Brilliant Corners, I'm much happier with it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_ekim:
Brilliant Corners is a respected ROM and seems to be the best choice if you want to go to the 1.2 bootloader, but I'm not aware of anything in BC that is so much better than Vegan to make me bother changing.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Includes an updated kernel with overclocking ability, etc, built in. You could technically flash your own kernel to use with Vegan, but I think there are some more little bugfixes as well since someone is actively working on it. For example, when Netflix wasn't working on it (before the recent update), Roebeet was actively trying to find out what made it work in CM7 so that the changes could be applied to his roms. He eventually did release some patches to get it partially working. VeganTab doesn't get that kind of love at the moment.

Caulkin

Caulkin's Rom (Froyo) I feel is the best, minus the fact that the stock browser for it is awful. I've found it to be the fastest, and most stable with the best support for usb devices and mounting the gtab to a pc. Also, I would recommend installing pershoots Froyo kernel.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkl0wn:
I've had a problem with my ATRIX for a while. When I first got it the GPS would get a location fix in seconds, now it won't get a location fix unless I'm outside and stand still for minutes. It won't get a fix until it has at least 8 visible satellites. Even after that it looses the fix easily and takes forever to get a fix again. I'm currently running 2.3.4 but had the problem with 1.83 before and after Gingerblur.

Anybody have a similar issue or know of a fix? I'm starting to think its a hardware problem.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] airborne3e9:
i dont think oc'ing is really that necessary with a phone this fast but if u must i wouldn't go above 1.3 (just seems unstable above that). I think the "Pros" come from being able to underclock. Setting up profiles for uc'ing when screen is off or as battery level drops etc really prolongs the life of the battery (at least in my case)

On my OG droid that came limited at 550 mhz, ya, oc'ing was def necessary but I cant really think of any "Pros" for oc'ing this phone.

each phone is different though so play around and you'll find a combination that works great for your phone, good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wu_wei_lion:
Well... you can get some serious bench scores... This thing rocks the Mandelbrot multithread test in smartbench 2011 at 1.5 ghz. Other than that it helps with games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
What about the CPU not having enough cooling and frying the CPU over time. I presume its just like Desktop overclocking but without all the extra cooling you can add to make it safe for the hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
But what i really want to know is if oc could damage the phone. After all if there is that danger it's noy worth it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hypocriticalplan:
In all honesty I used to be really into benchmark scores and OCing the heck out of my phone and under volting it in the process but that led to many battery pulls ect. What I've noticed is just keep it at stock and mild uving seems to be the best for me its stable decently fast just 2 cents though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Overclocking a cpu is the same as on a pc, only a bit more dangerous on a phone. (This phone already has overheating problems running at stock speeds :)) On a computer, people pay a premium for parts that are easily overclocked, and have either very good fans/heatsinks or a liquid cooling rig.

Overclocking is dangerous, especially because not all chips are going to be made equal, even if they come off the same production line. These chips are designed to run at a certain voltage, and certain clock speed. As far as real world use, (NOT benchmarks. Sure, they look pretty and all, but benchmarks are never very accurate.)

Sure, you might get 2-3 more fps on your games, but is that worth the risk of shortening the life of your chip/phone?

(And just so you know, I've been building/overclocking pc's for years, but I also understand what you need to do to keep it stable, and it's *all about cooling*.)

If you're not convinced, try this. Don't overclock your phone, and use it for a few days. Tell me honestly that you really notice a real-usable difference with the chip overclocked or not. (Games set aside, but like I said, getting a couple extra fps on a game to me isn't worth the risk without a proper cooling setup)

For those of you that really don't understand what you're doing to your chips when you overclock, I'd suggest doing some reading about it. A good place to start would be here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
So you think using fauxs kernel is not safe or reduces the life of the chip? I just flashed it and didnt oc or uv further then fauxs default settings...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
I'm not saying it's for sure, I'm saying there's a chance.

Plus keep in mind that these kernels have other really nice additions besides overclocking and undervolting. I'm using faux's stock voltage kernel ext4, and leaving it at stock settings, and it really works great.

I just posted this up because I see a lot of people more interested in quadrant scores (which to me are pretty useless) than stability of their phones. If you do overclock, and it works for you, more power to you. I just want to inform people. I'd HIGHLY suggest if you aren't sure, read that wiki article, it's a great place to start. (not all information is there, but it gives a very good general idea on how and what overclocking is.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Thanks! i always like reading knowledgeable and informative posts! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
OK, you definitely convinced me.... I have also faux (let me tell you exactly - Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 FR Faux 123-v0.03) on EagleBlood 1.05. Could you please tell me what I need to do set up in order to be safe? Thanks! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
I'd just go to faux's thread in the development section (his froyo thread, not the cm7 one, since you're using eagleblood), and download his stock voltage kernel. (It's in the first post.) He's on .04 now, by the way.

Then reboot into recovery, and flash the file you downloaded. It'll overwrite your current kernel and modules with the new one, then reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
I could not find this thread under G2X Android Development Section... I found threads Kernel Trinity, Kernel CM7, Kernel LGE Stock Froyo, Kernel Morphine... Which one is it...? Please do have some patience, at least I learn fast! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
You passed right by it. LGE stock froyo. (That doesn't mean it's a stock froyo rom, it means it's *based* on one :))

Choose the stock voltage one. (ext3 or 4, depending on your preference.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Thanks you've been very helpful. That's why I made this post I hope this can help other people as well as it's helped me! ;))
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
And a lot of times the kernel will be credited to the developer. So if you see "faux's kernel" people are referring to kernels by faux123. Trinity kernels were developed by morfic. If you are having a hard time finding a specific one, look at the top left to see who started the thread and sometimes that will help find it. Does that make sense?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mruano:
Hi there,

I am a newbie with android. I followed the following instructions on the serendipity website but after going through steps 1-12, I ended up with my phone in an endless rebooting loop (from Serendipity initial screen to media scanning running, media scanning completed, and the Serendipity initial screen again over and over).

The only step I was not 100% sure was about the ROM.zip file. The big Download link downloads a file named "Serendipity_VII_Build_2.zip" and I really could not find the "ROM.zip". So went to CWM and applied that Serendipity zip file.

I got my Google Music invite today. I uploaded around 14 GB of music. This was around 2500 songs. It looks like Google limits the number of songs, not the storage. You can upload 20,000 songs.

Thoughts:

The "app" on my PC is kind of cool. Just go to music.google.com from your browser and start listening.

The Google Music app for Android on the T-bolt works well. I created a quick playlist on my PC and it was available on the T-bolt instantly. The app is fast and stable.

When playing music with the Android phone app, it will actually download and cache about 5 songs.

My biggest thought is that Google must be a little vexed about Verizon's new policy about charging for data. This will discourage users to store their music data in the cloud if Verizon is going to start the meter running every time you want to listen to music. Google's whole philosophy is to use the network, not local storage.
