[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Flashing each stock CM7 nightly has been incredibly stable for me and the battery usage for the past couple of weeks has been amazing. Then again, I'm not overly hard on my phone by using the screen a lot like some folks do, I'm more prone to using my Transformer for gaming and general web browsing than I am my phone. I've never had any major bugs on CM7, but most of the general bugs that people complain about being on the phone are also completely foreign to me. I've also never used a fully stock G2x rom, my phone was shipped to me by another XDA user with a custom rom based on the GB release that I replaced with CM7 within a day or two, so my experience with with stock issues is absolutely non-existent.

I use CM7 because it was far less buggy than every other rom I tried in the dev section, and I used an iPhone against my will for almost a month, so MIUI is hideous to me by now aside from the bugs it still has. My first Android device was a first week release G1 and I still love stock Android. I've never been a fan of most of the UI overlays that vendors make (althogh the newer Sense is nice and some of the Touchwiz for 3.0 features are tempting) and I prefer to be allowed the choice of what I want my phone to look like. CM7 is the most stock rom I've seen that's also very stable. Also, I enjoy reading the CM changelogs. I'm trying to relearn how to code again and the diffs that the CM changelogs give are very enlightening and enjoyable to read.

I usually keep my phone underclocked a bit to 800Mhz max and screen off is underclocked quite a bit more. When I'm at home I leave data off and WiFi on (goes to sleep when the screen is off) and the battery can last for almost 3 days that way without hardly moving at all. When on data I get 8-20 hours or more depending on how much I'm traveling (switching towers drains battery) and how much I have the screen on. On full blast the shortest I've had the battery run was 4-6 hours of playing a game like Zenonia 3 without stopping. Using WiFi tethering the battery usually lasts 4-8 hours depending on how much I tax the phone's modem. Even underclocked the phone performs exceptionally well and I've never had any slowdowns during games or programs. I haven't had to reboot my phone, pull the battery, any random reboots or shutdowns, no APN issues, anything. Then again, I do reboot my phone every time a nightly is released which can be several days in a row or a lull for a few days at a time. I haven't had much luck running custom kernels but I haven't tried much other than faux's UV kernel so that's not much to go on. The stock CM7 kernel is just too stable for me for me to feel like changing it much.

I can only say that now that an official 2.3 release is out for this phone that roms will only get more interesting and hopefully more stable than they already are.. It already seems that there is a glut of developer interest in this device. Just one look in the development subforum shows the better part of a dozen choices in roms and much more activity than many places I've visited on XDA for a while.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I used CM7 if I had a second G2X to put other roms on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Cm7 nightlies ftw..... Mounts to emmc bit men don't bother me... stable rom and good battery life..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
Eagle blood 2.3.5. The most stable and coolest one I've tried.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Yes, it's 100% based off cm7 source. (If you don't believe me, go to their forums, and look. Right now they are caught up to about nightly 85 I believe.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hmichaelkim:
Wow, that was very detailed! Thanks. Quick question, what are some main advantages of the nightlies vs RC1?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweeklulz:
EaglesBlood CM7 + Faux's OC/UV kernel + launcherpro

it's fast, it's stable, has the notification power widget, runs netflix.. nothing more i could ask for

except maybe the LG cam.. but either that or the notification widget.. i chose the widget

E: from the post above I underclocked it to 800mhz.. will see how much battery life i get :D so far no noticeable slowdown
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FishyJap:
Trigger 2x

It's been the most stable and feature full experience on my G2x. I've been using it since build 11, I just flashed build 14, and am loving it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidKills:
MIUI/cm7 practically the same, love all the features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
The nightlies are more up to date and actually more stable than the RC. I'm running 93 right now and it's been going smooth all night.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
I'm still rockin froyo with Fauxs kernel on ultimate rom.

Those plus adw launcher equal silk. Lol

I would go with GB but im gonna wait a while till all this baseband and camera app get ported by the guru's. Still can't believe they dumbed down the functionality of the camera on an update lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
Xboarders 2.3.3 tweaked because I like everything to work... cough.a2dp.cough

And the guy updates like a madman

Runs like hot knife thru butter and battery life is about 17 hrs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adampdx:
I'm going to go against the grain here and declare that right now I'm a big fan of the stock 2.3.3. I've gone back and forth between CM7, Trigger, Xboarders 2.3.3 and stock. Why do I like stock? The biggest reason is because of battery life. Using CM7/Trigger I loose about 10% an hour with the phone doing nothing but sitting there. Stock gets me at lease twice that. I love the customizations available with CM7 builds but the price is too high for me, the equation isn't balanced enough. In a couple of weeks (or even days, who knows?) I might change my mind and decide that I'm in love with CM again and forget the battery life. I just ditched my Vibrant mostly because of bad experiences with CM7, so I'm trying to find that special feeling Cyanogen and I used to have when I had my MT3G. It's all experimental software blah blah blah, but the point of it to increase the user's experience and make Android better. Is it better if some things don't work? Is it better if I have to be close to a plug so my battery doesn't wither away?

OK, flamers, have at it. Please remember that I do like CM7. But just because I respect and admire something doesn't mean that I can't criticize it a bit. My favorite part of this whole experience is being able to switch around and try new things, good and bad a like.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c00lkatz:
First I was using EB Froyo with Faux's OC kernel, and while the battery life and speed improved dramatically over stock, the damn thing kept rebooting EVERY day (usually during a call and it got progressively worse), which it did NOT do on the stock ROM, and I had to jump through hoops to get bluetooth working. Went back to stock with a few tweaks and waited for the official GB release, and have not had any reboots since, ironically.

I just updated to the stock GB for the new baseband, and then immediately flashed EB GB 2.3.3 1.05 and then 1.06 the following evening. The difference between this and stock Froyo is massive, the battery life is back up, and *crossing fingers* no reboots or malfunctions yet. And I did restore all of my apps using Titanium backup, so it's not the "clean install" placebo effect either.

I have not tried CM7 or AOSP, because A2DP is a MUST for me as I use it every day to and from work.

So far so good. I am using the LG Camera app that was recently released, and while it's still buggy, the devs are working hard to sort out the kinks. It works fine for my uses right now, though I do miss the front facing camera (it works, but it's "squished").

EB 2.3.3 is a keeper for me as long as it doesn't start rebooting every day like it did before on EB Froyo. I find it odd that I didn't have any problems with stock, but did have problems with the custom ROM. It makes me wonder if all these people returning/swapping their G2X's gave the most obvious fix a shot before calling it quits.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
Anybody know when a "stable" version of cm7 is supposed to come out? This may be a dumb question but I have been waiting to flash until then based on what I've heard about the Bluetooth problems and all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c00lkatz:
From what I've read CM7 is mostly stable, but it will not have correct A2DP functionality until official drivers are released that they can use. This is not CM7's fault, but the fault of Nvidia/LG.

It's kind of like building a computer with an X58/P67/Z68 chipset using a fresh install of Windows XP and not having any updated drivers to download and install. It may or may not work with the embedded drivers, but it will be buggy and not up to full performance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
Right now I'm running eable bloods new stock 2.3.3 , came from cm7, which I miss but still everything just works.. Hdmi out, gps, a2dp, and I can theme with uot kitchen... Plus he's got some themes coming out this weekend... Believe it or not it also feels faster..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
MIUI

I have to pull the battery every once in a while. Also, not everything works all of the time(the theme app crashes on latest build) but MIUI is unbelievably cool and it will just get better and better as it becomes more stable! Its definitely worth checking into.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I'm running stock Froyo, debloated and Faux kernel with profiles.

Sent From My Stock G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
I'm running Xboarder's Stock, Rooted & Tweaked OTA Gingerbread 2.3.3 build, v1.2.2 with a few choice add-ons. No freezes, no reboots, no complaints.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrZoth:
Same here. though i did have to do a battery pull/ reboot shortly after flashing. since that however it's been great!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SL:
I have tested all the GB here but end up with the froyo from tweezit (sinister series).

The most important thing for me is the GPS. There is no smooth working GPS in the GB series yet. If GPS is important, then I recommend the sinister series.

If you dont care about GPS, the nightly build is great. I also would give Evil D a thumbs up!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
I love CM7, and I use the Honeybread theme. But what I'd like to promote right now is morfic's Trinity kernel: the battery life is indescribable. Word of warning though, flash an older version because the newest one is still being worked on and isn't as good.

With one version previous, I get over 24 hours of battery life, and that's using it a lot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
i prefer Eaglesblood or CM7 based roms, i am not a fan of the adwlauncher and in turn restore back to gb launcher.

EB roms are very stable and vanilla, most LG and crapware is removed/pulled out. updates monthly or so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
Eagleblood 2.3.3 ver 1.0.6, stock kernel

I didn't like the speed of the menu scrolling in xboarder's stock 2.3.3, and I also hate that the new market feels so slow. EB's ROM is exactly what I need right now, and with the LG camera mystery being solved recently... things are good.

On a sidenote, I'm surprised I haven't had a battery pull since updating to 2.3.3 (although I've run into one softboot)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
CM7. Even the nightlies are stable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spr22:
I'm rockin the most recent nightly (2.3.5) gotta say I love it! The GPS has never really worked on my phone it would normally take 10 mins for navigation to start working, now with the newest nightly locks in 1-2 seconds everything else runs perfectly for my use...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spr22:
Cm7 that is
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hmichaelkim:
I decided to flash EB 2.3.5 and Morfic's kernel. Needed to battery pull once and got a blackscreen and needed to hard reset once. Battery life seems good, haven't even calibrated yet - a good sign lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tico4674:
I flash a CM7 nightly daily and it's the most stable rom out there. I'll try the others to test but always find myself running back to CM. They are the best!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
I am not a fan of cm7 due to lack of HBO Go and lack of HDMI output controls. Right now I am using xboarder's ROM but am looking for something that is stable, can start up HBO Go, and has HDMI output controls. Don't think I've found it yet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] NAZology:
Can someone explain to me why the MyTouch 4G slide runs 2.3.4 but isn't G-Chat Video Chat compatible? I've asked in a few other threads and one person confirmed it's not compatible. But why?

I am about to turn my Nexus S over to have a keyboard to use but I have also been video chatting a lot and I am not sure I want to give that up.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Why doesn't it work and do you think it will at some point? Any thoughts appreciated.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akujin:
There's no real technical reason why not. There's a front facing camera on this phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eismcsquare:

add this to the list of reasons we desperately need perm root.

the amount of bloat on this phone is seriously ridiculous... is this how the mytouch line has always been? (I've never owned one)

hardware-wise, this phone is awesome.

but it really might be the most annoying rom I've ever run... tmo needs to stop injecting their crap into otherwise perfectly functional software.

This phone so needs s-off and permroot.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akujin:
No. The original mytouch 3g was all stock android. But T-mobile did gut the original release of the phone by only having 192 MBytes of RAM making that phone unusable. The newer models had more RAM added.

All the newer phones have a lot of bloat.

Simplest way i know.

1. Relock your zoom and go back to stock:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/xo...stboot-official-system-images.html#post708799

2. Update through the system update on your xoom.

3. Once you get up to 3.2 unlock and reroot your xoom:

adb devices returns no devices

I have followed the tutorial after reading through it several time to unlock and root stock xoom 3.2. when i get to the adb devices command it returns me to the prompt with no devices returned or shown. i have android sdk windows in root of C:. i have rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary in a xoom folder in my downloads folder. i open the cmd in the download folder wherein resides rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary and type adb devices and nothing. i can see the xoom in explorer so i assume the usb drivers are there. i do have a yellow flag in other devices in device manager-other devices that says MZ604. but i can find no drivers anywhere for it though i have scoured the web for 2 days. i am at a loss as i have tried to perform this root for 2 days using all of my adb noob skills, but have had no luck as of yet. any suggestions? win7, stock xoom 3.2 wifi, pretty computer savvy except for adb

I'd like to do the same as OP, update a rooted stock 3.0.1 euro 3G to 3.2 - I've already come across the thread you link to, but there's something I don't get.

pienut (user whose post you linked to) is saying that he went from 3.0.1 to 3.2, but in step 3 he writes:

Am I missing something, or is the SD card not disabled in 3.0.1? I know it is for me, afaik it only started working with 3.1 and up. I can't wrap my mind around going from 3.0.1 -> 3.2 using the SD card method, and yet it's mentioned in quite a few more threads and posts.

Ideally, I'd like to update to the Xoom ROM 2.1 Hammerhead (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203635), but in those instructions, too, step 2 says

How, if I can't access it in the first place? Should I install 3.1 first before I install Hammerhead? If so, do you know about any step-by-step I can follow?

Sorry to jump in on this thread like this... it was the closest I could find related to my problem after hours of searching and reading. Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
Alright, I figured it out on my own... I took a leap of faith and installed the ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (R4c), booted to recovery, and in there it's possible to mount the SD card under mounts and storage > mount usb storage. It will then appear in Windows as an external drive (as usual).

Yay, learned something new today. Now on to the next battle :)
