I have moved on. Gigglebread is my current favorite. EB and Weapon are also very good. Gigglebread is great regarding GPS and browsing using the android browser. It's my first cm based rom I feel comfortable using when relying on my phone for my livelihood. I like it better than other cm7 roms I have tested/tried. You should edit the op to add it as a choice. Better stability, battery life and usability in my opinion.

No offense intended toward kwes or anyone else. Some folks have decided to take on other challenges.

Eaglesblood just released their ICS with support for V21Y, :) is all I can say!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phiyuku:
Eaglesblood AOSP 4.0.4 because it seems to be the most stable as well as the only one that seems to update consistently and it is the only one to work with the 21y baseband for now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
i use either Genesis (which isnt on the list) or Bionix Reloaded
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ala380:
I'm on Bionix Reloaded and it is great for a 2.3.3 rom. I'm using that because the Xfinity Play app doesn't work on CM7 and Netflix doesn't work on CM9. I liked CM7 much better but I can deal with this for now. Everything works it just feels sluggish to me compared to the newer roms. At least I know my apps will work though so it's a decent trade off!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] R_Hybrid:
I'm using Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 right now. I haven't really tried much else but I chose this because I did a lot of reading and this felt like it was the most stable to me. I definitely like it. Hell does good work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I have been a dedicated CM7 user for over a year but have been wanting to move to a better rom. So I am trying MIUI and I absolutely freaking love it!

Don't get me wrong though, CM7 is extremely stable and really awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tcoygreen:
I'm on LewaOS its great
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
Never heard of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
I ported it a few days ago, that must be why :p

Still I vote for it too. I love LewaOS.

Edit: Link is on my signature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I would check it out but unfortunately CWM wont let me backup Miui for some odd reason. So if I were to install lewa, I would lose the whole Miui build.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
That is weird. Maybe you should just flash the recovery again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Try the "old" 5.0.2 CWM, if you're on the touch version or later that could cause issues due to MIUI framework.

Or simply reflash CWM as advised above. You may also try the built-in MIUI backup feature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I shut my phone down and booted into recovery and attempted to make a back up and it worked. That was so odd! Guess it was a one time thing?! Hope it doesn't happen again!

Might be my phone. Right before I switched to miui from CM7, I attempted to restore my phone and it gave me a mismiatched md5 sum error and wouldn't restore.

Maybe its a hardware issue? The phone has been dropped a bunch of times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Some backups are not compatible across different versions of the same recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I am switching back to CM7 anyway. So I retract my previous reccomnedation of MIUI being the best. I always try to switch from CM7 and always, always go back to CM7! Its so very stable! Processes on Miui crash all too often and the calling over wifi doesn't work. Data connectivity issue are a very common as well!

CM7! You can't go wrong!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Then try RC3 from my rom. It is based on CM7 but more like a MIUI look with more android and less iphone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:

I ran stock until last week when I also decided something different was in order; especially after it was becoming more and more clear that LG had no intention of releasing an official ICS build. I tried a few GB ROMs at first, as they were noted as being the most stable.

A week ago exactly I decided to throw caution to the wind and loaded up HellFire Sandwich 1.7. After a few hiccups with MMS and data services (easily fixed by booting into recovery and fixing permissions) I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend anything else. My battery life is better than it was on stock, the overall feel and UI tweaks are more than I could have hoped for, and the ROM in general runs smooth as... that yellow stuff that goes on toast. I've even ran AnTuTu with the CPU adjusted to various frequencies and scored anywhere between 5937 - 7090.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Crapinator114:
Hi, I would first like to say that although I haven't done any custom rom work I have done some rooting work. The few issues like battery life and instability were solved when I rooted and uninstalled all the bloatware, but battery could still be better. However, the main reason I did this was to reinstall the old camera app that came with the phone on version 2.2 (i think?). Once I did this I was satisfied. However, battery is bothering me now and I want to flash a custom rom but do they also support the old camera app?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
Hello,

I would appreciate any input.

My Vibrant has a custom ROM (Trigger v2.8.2) and I would like to move to ICS.

It seems that the safest way to do so would be by going back to stock 2.1 as stated here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028

Then, I would have to follow these steps

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do6mTvgfH8Y

Could anyone please confirm whether:

1. This is the safest way to move to ICS ? I read about risks related to installing Gingerbread Bootloader and would prefer not taking any.

2. Going back to stock 2.1 means I will lose root and will have to root again (I rooted it long time ago and no longer remember what I really should expect while flashing) ?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwick:
I tried that before and it's safe.

-odin back to stock

-flash CM7

-flash ICS rom of your choice

But beware, it may cause some problems like the rainbow thingy other than that it's safe.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
See my guide in the General Section. It works. Read it, watch the video ( beware though that djeddieone skips some important steps. Not sure how he did it but there are several things he skips).

GB bootloaders are no longer needed to run ICS but as stated above you may get Rainbows although this seems to have been fixed several versions ago.

Good luck and ask questions if need be but please search first. The ICS guide was on the front page of General.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
Thanks everyone.

Woodrube,

Do you think the latest Passion version is still risky (I mean the Rainbows) ?

Thanks,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
GB bootloaders are very recommended. It was found that on mr_psycho's subZero kernel #17 you could not get into recovery at all with Froyo bootloaders but all was fine with GB bootloaders. So sometimes it's not just rainbows.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Passion should be fine w/o them (as long as you are using stock kernel or one of the Kissed ones)

I agree with Bob, I do recommend having GB bl's but they are not needed on the general ICS builds (for the most part). From what I read in the Zen thread, MP streamlined his kernel and it seems that the recovery broke on Froyos b/c of what he took out but was fine on GB and he recommends most be on GB as well. So the 1 kernel out of all of them broke it for Froyos. I am wondering if MP will fix this for the masses or just keep it as GB exclusive for subZero/Zenwhich?

With that being said, I think that Passion/ Euphoria are good for the general public, while AOKP/ZEN are for more of the advanced users like us. And mostly the ROMs are ROMs. It is the kernels that are being built so fast nowdays. Bootloaders for someone not knowing what they are doing is extremely hazardous and they shouldn't be flashing them unless they know what they are doing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
So, I should not bother installing the bootloader as long as I am using stock kernel? I don't intend making up anything else, just going back to stock 2.1 then moving to ICS Passion. I would prefer not taking useless risks on a phone that I am expecting to last a few more months until I upgrade.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yes you are good (for now), but if you swap kernels, make sure you are reading about them first.

Kiss 2.2 seems to have the best performance with Passion
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
Sorry to bother you again.

How do you get rid of these "Random offset" errors that prevent from installing the ICS ?

I did try at least ten times and I still did not succeed.

Thanks,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpaul007:
That's normal. I get it every time I flash an ICS ROM. After it throws that error, don't touch anything. It'll finish installing the ROM on it's own.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
Thanks for replying.

Does it install whatever the ICS version is ?

How long does it take ? Hours ?

I had the feeling it gets frozen...

Thanks,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I think you should give Zenwich a try. GPS now works, it is light and based of AOKP too. I have hardly ever encountered the security block.

I know that someone else I was helping kept getting stuck at that point and they just kept flashing it over itself. Sometimes when I get to the point where you are, I would either Odin all the way back and start over or flash CM7 again and let it boot up completely and then try Passion/ Euphoria again. Should push through.

Don't forget to format /system in the appropriate steps too. I have noticed that and not wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache after CM7 boots up causes things to get wonky b/c of ghosts from CM7 apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
I no longer remember whether I did wipe/cache and /dalvik cache after I flashed CM7.

Do you think I should do so before retrying to flash ICS ?

Thanks again,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yes. I actaully forgot to do it once and it made all the difference in the boot up and stability.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadim1:
Well, still no luck.

Even after wiping cache/delvic and more than one hour waiting for the "Random offset" message to disappear, I can't get past it.

No idea whether it is my device or this Passion 13.1 version.

Which version could I try without taking too many risks (Rainbows) ?

Eventually, I was able to flash ICS Passion.

I simply had to follow all steps mentioned on their thread and it did work OK.

Now, I wish there were secret codes compatible with ICS as I would need to make some changes within the bands.

I read somewhere that old ones would not work (unless used with Samsung firmware).

Anyone know about using secret codes with ICS Passion ?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
Do you have your phone restarted in download mode? (turn your phone off and restart it by holding volume down, home and power button at the same time)

Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? (i can't post links yet but if you search for "Samsung Galaxy Mini USB drivers" on Google you'll find it, if you don't, just download Kies, the drivers are included)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
maybe because it's a different handset?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
It really isn't, it's the same S5570 with a Qualcomm MSM 7227 as the Mini.

Same everything else too.

Even if it wasn't, Odin wouldn't care, it'd detect it anyway. Odin will let you flash anything even remotely compatible, that is why you have to be careful about what you flash, you will get no warnings and you can mess up and brick your phone.

I just restored a Mini flashed to a Fit rom using Odin for both the mistake and the fix.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sieglein777:
- Make sure you have kies or samsung usb driver

- Make sure your usb cable is working

- Make sure your usb port is not damaged (working)

- Make sure your odin is virus-free

- Open odin

- Boot your device to download mode ( volume key down + home + power key )

- Connect to your PC

That should do it...

Hope it helped...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tulun:
Naaa.. it doesn't help a bit .. the real problem is, odin cannot detect the phone, alredy installed all the driver, test the cable, test the connection .. you name it everything, still not success... Or, maybe odin did not support Galaxy Pop Plus ? ( S5570i )
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ujnikm:
i wish it'll help !!

Download this program to your PC and install it then open Odin and connect your mobile via usb--->>I wish it'll help!!!: rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
So, you actually have the yellow triangle and the yellow text below it that says "downloading..." and when connected to your PC you get a notification of how it's connected but Odin won't recognize it?

Well, that's just not possible, it really isn't possible.

Just get some WD40 into the connector, retry and you should be fine, yes my friends, sometimes the best solution is in the garage.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

That program is awesome!

I assume you meant to send the samsung drivers, i'd search for them and repost the link but i'm not the one with the problem.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Odin most definetly supports galaxy pop plus, it's the same as any mini but with a newer core, the rest is absolutely the exact same, i have even reviewed the chip codings.

If Odin doesn't recognize it, Kies won't either because both use the exact same method, Odin being a leaked Samsung application and all.

Try better when you're trolling, because this is just daft.

No CWM

Actually, there is no permanent CWM in galaxy pop plus or sgy which you can flash through odin.

Instead, you can root it and flash temporary CWM from stock recovery. If you want permanent CWM, flash a kernel which has it built in like cyanus.

I'm in a rather strange situation right now. My Marquee is stuck in recovery, I can't get ADB to talk to it, and I can't get the computer to talk to it in emergency mode (I think there's something up with the USB port). So it seems flashing something through CWM is my only hope. The problem is that there don't seem to be any Marquee ROMs I can flash.

If anyone could provide a ZIP, Nandroid, whatever of something that would run on a Marquee, that would be great.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] b-m-b-85:
Right here goes I know we have the DIY charging thread which I must say thanks for, because the information supplied there helped me to make this possible, I don't think anyone has done this before and if I'm in the wrong forum can somebody move it please, I have a transformer and I like to go out camping a lot so I wanted to charge it whist I go away for a couple of weeks. Riding my bike through wales :-) .

I can't charge the transformer whilst the panels are charging the gorilla but I can charge my phone HTC Desire Z.

..I have a power gorilla (a mini gorilla should also work might need to buy car socket adapter though.) The gorilla supplies the appropriate voltage 12 volts minimum to charge the transformer, i'm also using the 22100mah battery in the gorilla to store energy from my 2x freeloader supercharger solar cells.

First the solar charger, I got a Y power supply cable from amazon. 2 x male USB to 1 female USB, these connect to the panels then the female USB socket has a USB to DC barrel connector cable like the one on a router. This then goes into the power gorilla to charge it. The gorilla recognizes the solar panels charge and displays it on the LCD.

I then have the car socket adapter which came with it connected to a 12v car charger with USB 2.0 output (the gorilla pad adapter for ipad won't work.). Then connect the transformer USB cable into this and select 12 Volts on the gorilla.. Voila! The gorilla charges the tablet, making the little charging little noise to confirm and the icon changes, you can also charge your phone at the same time.

I'm not trying to sell any of the items quoted in the topic i just hoped it might help someone out, One of my first proper posts so go easy guys, thanks. :-) b

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] worwig:
You have to calculate everything in watts. Do the math. Figure out how well it will work. And don't forget to calculate the loses. You'll need a large solar panel.

I do a lot of motorcycle camping. I carry a small 12V lead acid battery, a 1 watt solar panel, and of course a 12 volt adapter for my smart phone. My phone has a 1600MaHr battery. It is a power hog and needs a full charge daily. So that is about 6 watt/hours per day (3.8 volts roughly). About 0.5 amp/hours from the 12 volt battery. Add in the conversion losses to charger the gel battery and operate the voltage converters, and you need closer to 1 amp/hour, or about 12 watt hours.

Now the solar panel is rated 1 watt. But those numbers are a stretch and I never see that. And what you do see is only there during perfect weather and perfect alignment, for a short few hours. I would guess that I see maybe 5 watt hours from it with a full day of sunlight. I would need three panels to break even on really perfect weather. Toss in a cloudy day and you are at a loss.

So the solar panel is a bit of a gimmick in this case. I charge the 12V gel cell battery well at home before I head out, and it does the work for me. It holds about 48 watt hours, throw in the solar, so that will cover it for a 5 days or a bit more.

Now I believe the TF101 has a 3300mAhr battery, and two of them in series. Or about 26 watt/hours. If you figure 4 hours of perfect light per day, you need over a 6 watt panel. Figure in the various loses, and you had better have more like a 10 watt panel. That gets pretty big.

I'm thinking about getting an Anker Astro3 10000mAh portable battery for this year. The lithium battery would have a more efficient charge conversion then the gel cell. Plus is is supposed to charge the phone and the tablet. It would be about 38 watt/hours. And much smaller then my 12 volt gel battery. It would charge the phone many times. But it will only charge the tablet a bit more then once.

I should be able to charge it a little from the solar panel, or in my case, plug in into the motorcycle while under way for a quicker charge.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rpmbnsf:
I was looking at this ready built charger - wonder if it will do the trick using a 3.0 USB cord to trickle charge. Or if it needs 12V to kick it off then use the 12V output into a car charger - or just mod the female portion of the car charger to go directly into the charge plug for a more streamlined package.
