I can't say enough good things about Weapon 2.3 ROM and it's included TouchWiz launcher from Samsung.

If you are running factory GB on your G2x I can assure you The Weapon ROM is every bit as stable as stock if not better, with way better battery life and a bunch of other cool gee whiz features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
LauncherPro. I've been using since May 2010.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobdelt:
Launcher Pro - the widgets can't be beat, especially now with theme and icon pack support. At times I try another launcher, but I always come back to launcher pro for the widgets.

I've yet to find people, bookmarks, and friends widget comparable to launcher pro except sense ui. There are others that mimick the functionality, but they usually slow down the device quite a bit. Launcher Pro remains fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think LP has the best ALL Around setup. The built in Widgets are great and backup/restore will save passwords so you don't always have to login again to Twitter and Facebook.

Unfortunately the developer has been ignoring it for some time and is starting to lack some features. While it JUST got theme support, it doesn't seem to be moving very fast. Very limited. Plus they don't have "whole" theme support so icons and widget themes are separate.

I'm using LP now but going back and forth to Go Launcher. Go Launcher has downloadable widgets that are comparable and cool in their own way. Also "Colorize Widgets" also make a good LP Widget Replacement.

So the 3 main ones are ADW EX, Go Launcher EX, and Launcher Pro.

There are other weird ones like Samsung TouchWiz, LG Launcher, Sony Xperia Launcher, etc.

Honestly just find one that works they way you want. I'm currently using ADW EX on my Asus Transformer because it recently added much needed support and features for tablets (which the others lack). On the G2x either one of the 3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
go launcher.. also has widgets.

but you can add to that with colorize widgets. an awesome pack made by an xda user.

the combination is unbeatable in my opionion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DustyVV:
I've grown quite fond of ADW, myself. Though, I haven't tried LP.

I also used a launcher called Crazy Home, awhile back. On top of having extra home screens, it gives you up to 3 desktops...each with 5 home screens. So, if you REALLY like home screens, you can have up to 15 lol. It also allows you to hide apps in your app drawer. I ended up going with ADW, because I could load my own icons, and use them...CH was a bit more limited.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I'm a huge fan of Zeam. I used it on my old HTC Magic because it was fast fast fast on the old hardware, and I continue to use it on my G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ChrisHeel:
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to be trying my first ROM out and that's what I'm leaning towards right now.

To the OP, I love Launcher Pro. So much to customize.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
My vote goes for ADW Launcher EX for sheer speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
I like LP but now I'm using go launcher, it has so many themes to play with!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlameItOnTheBoogie:
+1 for go launcher.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] garydove:
Regina 3d launcher
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BenSWoodruff:
Zeam rocks my socks. I use one home screen, a couple widgets and gestures to open my app drawer and notifications. Super fast and simple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twism50:
I'll second the TouchWiz launcher. I'm using it standalone with Miui. It looks awesome. I've been a ADW guy since my G1 days and continued using it with the Nexus One and G2X, but I gave TW a try a few weeks ago and haven't looked back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
By far the best is launcher pro
[T-Mobile LG G2x] natecglenn:
Zeam
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
I never understood the hype for launcher pro. ADW or GO are amazing though.

I use ADW EX.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shilent:
I choose Launcher Pro over ADW and Go launcher just for the widgets. If not for the widgets, ADW is pretty much better in every way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
if you want a real looking and feeling Windows 7 desktop PC on your cellphone, try Android Seven Free launcher from Joltatech, it's in the market and it looks and actually feels like the actual windows 7 desktop especially when you hold your phone in landscape mode.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tattooed5150:
I agree. Regina is great plus option to add or delete home screens. I'm currently using Launcher Pro with zombie theme and love it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
This was my thinking until I realized GO has widgets too, and theyre all free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
+ 1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shilent:


When GO	Launcher came out with those widget addons, I gave it another try but IMO, they did not compare to Launcher Pro Plus sense like widgets.

I'll try Go Launcher again to see if anything has changed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I tried Go Launcher today after maybe 2 months or more of not using it and wow I'm impressed what they have done during this time.

Adw ex, loving it. Use to use launcher pro for ever but he never updates its falling behind, adw ex is where its at. Go looked kinda kidy looking our something... Is it really good?

[Defy General] tyson123g:
I tried searching and I didn't find any answer to this about Defy.

What I want to know is that what size fits the screen best. It doesn't fit the full 854 pixels, so I wanted to know if someone has tested and know about it.
[Defy General] pprakash:
There is a limitation with Android which will down size the image quality as soon as it syncs with Google. This is my experience. Except for caller ID the images look ok in my Defy. Waiting for a work around still...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
I've done the following 3 times now, and all i get is a continuous boot splash screen of cyanogen7(mod).

I downloaded the stable rom here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/t-mobile-g2

I put the zip file onto my sd card.

I turn my phone off.

I hold the volume down button and turn phone on.

I wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

I go to install update from sd card

I find the zip file and select it.

I wait for it to install, it says it installed successfully.

I reboot my phone.

This results in a constant boot up screen saying cm7. Ive left it like that for a good while, and nothing happens. I cant press any buttons. i have to take the battery out, and restore from ROM manager.

Any help please?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
wipe /data and /system via mounts & storage menu in recovery prior to installation (just do it at the same time you format cache and dalvik cache)

mount the partition you wish to format, then format, then mount the next partition, then format.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
in mounts and storage i see unmount /cache, mount data etc.

do you mean format /data and format /system?

what do you mean by mount the partition i wish to format?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
so if you want to wipe the data partition, do this from mounts & storage in CWM:

-press "mount data"

-press "format data"

once complete, press "unmount data" (I can't remember if it automatically does this after formatting - you may not have to do that)

perform the same steps for /system.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You need to wipe data/factory reset before flashing CM7, or any new ROM for that matter.

I've never had to mount the data and system partitions... you can simply hit "wipe data/factory reset" and it will wipe everything for you...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
i did this the first time and it still didnt work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You sure? You indicated in your OP that you only wiped cache and dalvik cache.

You can try flashing "superwipe G2" before flashing the ROM to see if you're missing something.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
yeh i selected both wipe options the first time i did it. the phone went to factory settings
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
done it now, thanks. where do i get gapps from?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bharakrama:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
Everything sorted now, although i get messages saying sometimes that apps have to force close unexpectedly, although that hasn't caused too many issues.

also had an issue where my handset was constantly running at 1.2GHz and the battery went flat within hours lol. not sure what that was about but it seems to have fixed itself.

only issue now is that all my text messages are not getting delivered to and sent from me. anyone heard of this or have a solution?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
For the force closes, try running a 'fix permissions' in ROM manager

As far as messages, is your phone number recognized by the phone?

check menu > settings > about phone > my phone number
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
no my phone number status us unknown. im going to run fix permissions now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
fix permissions did not work. upon startup i received this message:

The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Menu > settings > Call settings > Additional Settings > My phone number > enter your number

That's the media player I think. Did you restore this app with data? You can try wiping its data, or uninstalling and reinstalling a different one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
I've been searching google for a solution but can't find one. The process is used for gallery, camera and market. Probably others. Its just come up while I'm typing this message. I can't download any apps because of it.

media_profiles.xml

SYSTEM/BIN

Replace the following with the target device versions

VOLD

AKMD

SND3254

SH

RMT_STORAGE

SH0

WPA_SUPPLICANT

***

IF YOU EVER REPLACE MODE10 FILES REPLACE FUSION.FX.JAR IN SYSTEM/FRAMEWORK AS WELL! NEVER MIX THESE FILES!

NEVER MIX GRAPHIC LIBS AND NEVER MIX HW LIBS!

NEVER HAVE TWO OF THE SAME LIB, FOR EXAMPLE spade.gps and shooter.gps THEY WONT WORK

Delete the modules folder

replace with modules folder from target device

BOOT IMAGE

Delete boot.img

Replace with the one from the target device

SYSTEM/USR

DELETE KEYCHARS AND KEYLAYOUT FOLDER

REPLACE WITH FOLDERS FROM TARGET DEVICE

thanks for this, its like u read my mind ive been trying the last few days to port a rom and i didnt do alot of the things listed and couldnt get it to boot

but also theres something u should add to the post, u have to change the mount points in the updater script to your devices (only have xp with evo and evo shift but i think its different alot of phones, can the points in an updater script in a zip for your device)

also ive been told the system/etc/firmware is something that should be added too, sorry not trying to criticize im just trying to get all the info i can and put it all together to hopefully get a working rom and thought id share

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Why would you want to replace those? Sometimes you need to replace framework files to get it booting, but you never should replace apps since 99% of the time, they are different versions and will only crash if you try to mix apps.
