The only ship I've jumped from recently is from the rooted, stock 2.3.3 rom to CM7. No regrets. =]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
I feel the rom development is fine.... why have 30 different roms that have all the same features that are themed differently? "Cool I have a different boot animation than you"!!! Anyways.....id like to see more kernel dev....I loved hardcores speedmod for my galaxy S. He was always tweaking something other than OC/UV. The kernels we have are great....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GenghisKhan67:
I upgraded from a Nexus One and would never go back. I love this phone, it is really fast and when running CM7, stable as a rock. Reading other threads where users had to replace their phones, I can sympathize and understand if they are skeptical of LG's commitment to quality and future compatibility, but let's not get carried away here: if you are willing to learn or already know what you are doing, the G2X is an excellent choice.

As for the current choice of ROMs, there are plenty available, most are well supported by devs, so I don't think more is necessarily a better thing in the long run.

i have a sensation as i have a g2x. i keep changing back and forward and what can i say i love both of them but the g2x is faster and the screen resolution i think is better than the sensation.

i have the g2x overcloked 1.5 and the sensation 1.8 and my g2x beats my sensation in speed.

i say screen resolution but even the sensation has a bigger screen the quality of the g2x is better. i guess is because the 3D graphics idk
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
I have the T-Mo SGSII, G2x and Sensation, all three are amazing phones. Personally, at this point I prefer the SGSII. Funny thing is I bought the SGSII to replace the G2x as my unit had been reboot as of late. When I purchased the new phone, the T-Mo rep offered me a $5 warranty exchange for a replacement G2x or Sensation (my choice). Went with the G2x for the games, and wouldn't you know it, the replacement unit has been absolutely phenomenal. Now I have three bad ass phones that I love to play with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gr33k:
G2X sucks

I'll tell you why they are jumping ship - First off this phone was a piece of crap out the box. The stock ROM it came with (froyo) was by FAR THE WORST excuse for a ROM I've ever seen. Wifi and 2g/4g connectivity (toggle fixed it but wtf..).

Then came Gingerbread OTA - MUCH better. Put still not perfect.

This thing is either a battery drainer by nature, of the radio is horribly overusing power. I've tried new battery and extended life batter (wipes and battery stats reset...the whole 9 yards)....nothing. Juice Defender is the only thing that keeps this phone on all day and using 2g networks only (which defeats the purpose of the awesome 4g speeds).

I had the G1 when it came out and, yes, I'm spoiled with awesome devs and roms. I watched Cyanogen start up his awesome dev team and love their stuff. Then I got the G2 and it's still the phone I end up using (instead of the NEWER G2X).

Face it - the horrible battery life, and the lack of good roms (no disrespect to those who are deving - there are like 3 cool roms out there imo), and NO RADIO UPDATES TO FIX THIS PIECE OF CRAP, are what's killing this phone for me. The tegra 2 chipset is awesome fast - but throws a hurdle for devs working with this chipset/drivers.

My only hope is that a radio update will improve the massive amounts of battery used on "Cell Standby". None of the other android phones I've seen suck so much at battery life...though the HTC Thunderbolt is not that great either..

Battery life aside - the phone itself is 'plasticy' feeling. I like HTC models which feel like they are built much sturdier. The lack of a keyboard sucks too. Oh, and getting into recovery is just a pain. NVFlash sucks (it's great but sucks to have to go through the process). Why can't ROM manager just flash recovery like most other phones? I know there's a reason, but surely there could be a way to implement the nvflash method via an app no?

So why do I still have this phone if I hate it so much? I got it from work for free to test our android software. If it wasn't for that - it would have been returned or sold within 2-3 weeks of purchase ;p

If this is your FIRST android phone - please don't consider this how all android phones are. They are WAY better - Most do have limited battery life compared to previous types of cellphones, but not like this phone that dies in like 2-4 hours depending on what you're doing with it.

Weaksauce!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GenghisKhan67:
Battery life on mine is as good if not better than on the N1, YMMV depending on how agressive you are in managing battery-draining services on your phone.

As far as the complaint about ROM Manager, perhaps the app's devs should look at fixing the flashing issue as well as many other problems (outdated ROM lists, intermittent backup/restore script errors, bad implementation of Dalvik and cache wiping, etc.). I really wouldn't judge a phone based on how well RM works on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Primer65:
I owned a G1, Mytouch 3g Slide, Vibrant and Mytouch 4g before this beauty. All of which consume far more battery than this device. If I ran Juice Defender with my stock battery the g2x would easily get me a day and a half. Constant calls, emails, TikL(for my business) and I play Ocarina of Time on my breaks. Learn about managing open apps(using a taskiller incorrectly will severely hurt battery life) and using proper governors/setcpu profiles. The only one of those as durable as the the g2x was the Vibrant(the only non-HTC phone in the group, go figure).

This is obviously not a thread about using practically stock software, nothing in here has eluded to that. We are power users, comparing stock to modified is apples to oranges. Finally, your complaining about a phone that was never designed to have a keyboard not having one? Go troll somewhere else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tattooed5150:
Well I would have to say that trading my MT4G for the G2x was one of the best decisions I could have made. I was lucky to only have to have two or three different phones till I had one with no problems. I was running Eaglesblood 2.3.7 with Trinity kernel and it was smooth as hell until one day the phone started to act up and start freezing and rebooting for no reason. I tried to run it stock for a while and do bare minimal changes to see if it would help but no love. When I went to T-Mobile to warranty exchange for a new one, they told me no and gave me a Sensation instead. Sadly I was forced to jump ship with no say. I do have to say it's not too bad of a device but it's not my G2x. So until next time........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Amen, since when did quantity imply quality? I think the developers working on the G2x are doing just fine, perhaps they have solved too many problems too quickly, would they prefer them to be struggling just to imply activity.

The G2x is a great phone, and there are amply reasons to get it over a Sensation Amaze or GS II, as they all have trade-offs.

The biggest problem with the G2x is the network T-Mobile.

and the OS can only do so much, after it is unlocked and overclocked, it down to apps. If there is a better phone of Gaming on Android I am not aware of it, I suppose you can argue that you like the larger Samsung screen, but the Tegra 2 still snuffs out the others for gaming
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Its a phone with potential that can't quite get there. You know there's problems when carriers say "enough is enough" and offer alternatives. I own a g2x and its a love hate relationship. Right now I'm on my Vibrant and enjoying the beatiful screen and no reboots or random shut downs. Its a bit slower but not slow by any means. I'm not getting rid of my g2x (that's the love part) but I'm happy not using it right now (that's the hate part) I'm typing this from my vibrant while its charging and its not turning off. I can't tell you how good that feels.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] raddy:
Even I was thinking to jumpship to HTC Desire S mobile phone or some other good HTC mobile phone for their present prospects.

but I am skeptical to jumpship from this mobile phone for one reason.

Our mobile phone has nvidia tegra based Graphics Accelerator and nobody can doubt its superiority.

Google icecream sandwich supposed to use the horse power of the Graphics Accelerator heavily.

So there can be two exactly opposite outcomes can be expected.

1) Superior performance, fluid smooth animations, ultra fast text rendering, better battery life.

2) terribly unstable mobile phone, can crash often, might be slower than gingerbread, can become hotter, very poor battery life.

Both of these outcomes depends on the quality of the nvidia drivers ships with icecream sandwich os update.

If turns out positively, then our mobile phones market value would certainly jump if not skyrocket.

If turns out negatively the consequence not needs to be explained.

If it turns out in which way nvidia won't be part of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
LG stated on their facebook page that they NEVER said ICS isnt coming out for this phone. LG now changed their story to "We are in the process of getting ready to test ICS on the Optimus 2 x" :D

They never said g2x but I don't see why they would leave it out. Even if they did it shouldn't be hard to take the p990 rom & port it over to the p999.

:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
I've owned an HTC incredible and yes it had a ton of roms but they were mostly sense based with different themes cooked in. That seems to be the same for most HTC dev threads. Yeah they have more roms and development but they aren't too much different. I only used cm and one or two others just to try but always rolled back to Miui or cm which own all and we have both. Sense can suck it easy, hate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jorakal:
I bought 3 G2x's when T-Mobile had them for free. 2 are stock and mine runs Cyanogenmod 7. They all work great. I'm looking forward to playing with more custom Roms and themes. Perhaps we'll have ICS someday, but I like what I have now. I came from Verizon using the OG Droid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raddy:
But i like the HTC Sense UI so much, they offer a coherent feel.

HTC Sense UI is very much appriciated by Apple fan boys such Engadget it self.

So, i am not in the minority for liking the HTC Sense UI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] izakura:
The G2x is not perfect, but IMO a solid device. I'm using weapon 3.0 and it made the G2x perform in a much more stable way. I find battery life to be great and don't plan on jumping ship anytime soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Ditto.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ProjektSUN:
I bought 5 of these phones for employees at the office and we've all had a share of complaints, mainly poor battery life, and sluggish performance. We've recently started testing different roms/kernals and I have to say I'm very impressed with what is out there, in particular the MIUI builds from siulmagic. I thank this community for making my phone a joy to use.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
2G only on t-mobile, or is it quad band 4g?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rahulparekh:
I'm quite happy with the performance of the phone. It's as stable as a phone can be (on CM 7.1.0.1). The only issue I have is battery life. I even switched to weapon g2x hoping stock rom would cut down battery usage. I can get out 8-9 hours of battery from this. Other than that it's an amazing phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
That's not good. Have you tried clearing your battery stats after fully charging? I can get get at least 20 out of that rom ...

I grabbed an International GS2 I9100 and totally love it, I too am keeping my G2X, not worth selling considering what it could be sold for. I'll keep it for gaming around the house, Tegra 2 still is the best Android gaming experience.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
It has its problems, but most things do. I'm patiently waiting for ics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rahulparekh:
I did that two days back and there was no real difference. Today I got 14 hours of of it but the phone was idle for 10 hours or so. I guess I just use it heavily as I'm always texting/surfing have a ton of Widgets and usually have an hour or so of calls. I'm always on 2g data though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikklethepickle:
That sounds like fairly heavy usage, so ~14 hours is probably about right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Still better than the Vibrant was. I don't plan to jump ship personally for quite some time, and I plan to be right here as soon as there's even a hint of a leak for an official Ice Cream Sandwich.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbamg:
This is my first smartphone, so apart from video playback support (laggy 720p mkv playback), I have no complaints about the hardware. I've had this phone for a little over a month now, and I've not experienced random shutdowns or reboots so far. Perhaps this is because Wind doesn't install bloatware on their phones. Their customer support has been decent so far, so I've no complaints about service either.

I do have an issue about Cyanogenmod 7 for the P999 however - the DTS technology, which actually does make the speakers sound better by default, isn't carried over from the stock OS, so compared to it, cyanogen has a pretty bad sound output during speaker usage. I've decided to stay with the stock Froyo OS just so that I wouldn't have to listen to scratchy music from the speakers.

Speaking of which, does anyone have weak signals? I'm trying to find out whether the problem lies with the phone or my carrier. Three people in my family have this phone, and we all have the same problem.

Though alot of rom choices are good and has other benifits Id be happy with a handful of stable smooth roms with amazing battery life..

hell ill be 100% honest and say I dont care if the hardware doesnt change for another few years so long as i have better roms and most importantly battery

from wha Ive read better CPUS will give better battery life but I am tired of having a phone that cant live off the charger for more than 5 or 6 hours with heavy use ( if I am lucky )

I want to wake up, unplug my phone. work all day while streaming music or whatever. use my phone how you would expect and not have to charge till I at least got home. though not charging till I get to bet like my Iphone friends would be nice.

battery life is the only thing I envy on Iphone

e most slept on phones, sure it has kinks but once rooted the phone is all business. Fast, uh yeah, free? Thanks T-Mobile. 4g yes.

If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...

[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....

Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.

I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
[HTC EVO 3D] THunDA:
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.

Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..

For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..

Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.

Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.

Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in.. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
another vote for Eternity Rom.

Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.

I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7

1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.

Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.

Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.

But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.

Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.

I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).
