[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr. Apocalypse:
Each phone is unique, like people. Same parts, different ways of working, different ways of responding to different mods. What's lame to one person may not be lame to the next guy. What runs well for you may not run well for him. The ONLY way to find out what works best for you and your phone is to experiment with all of them, try them out for about a week each and stay on whatever you like best. That is what we all do. There was no magic guru or button that told us what was best. I've seen hundreds of these kinds of posts, and it asks the same question and gets the same replies. And last I looked, there wasn't 20 ICS roms in the p999 section, GB maybe but not ICS. There are about 7, Owain's, HFS, 2 Eaglesbloods, AOKP, Arcee's SelfKang and Genesis. Try them all, rate them and you decide for yourself what's best for you .

Lol your metaphor mages perfect sense, no need to re-invent the wheel. Try searching. Turns out, most of those threads do actually say what does and does not work in them. If you search the threads for the word "working" look at the last 10 posts to get a good idea.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Its basically high school or college all over again, you got the cheaters and lazies that just ask something simple and wait for the answer, instead of doing some research and learning things them selves... just like teachers used to do, they'd just ignore, or say figure it out on your own.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
So far I've tried HFS 1.4 and 1.6, EB, and I'm currently on AOKP build 32. I'm going to try Genesis this weekend when the next build is released. They all more or less run the same. EB is pretty bare with less options and it may just be my mind, but it feels like it runs the smoothest, but it's lacking some features that the other ROMs have that I wish it icluded. The difference between HFS and AOKP are mostly cosmetic and how you can customize them. It does seems like AOKP has more data connection dropping issues than both HFS and EB, though. I know it's a known problem with ICS ROMs, but I didn't really notice before when using either HFS or EB, but with AOKP I've noticed it frequently or maybe I've just been playing on my phone more.

If I had to choose? I honestly don't know. If it wasn't for the more apparent data drops, I'd probably just stay on AOKP. HFS added some cosmetic changes I really didn't like (the red star when answering calls), but I'm looking forward to the next build. If I wasn't hopping back and forth between different ROMs, though, I'd probably just stay on EB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chris_sd:
Thanks for the response. I am on EB AOSP right now and it works fairly well. The only feature i am really missing is the call mute, and of course HW Encoder/decoder which is missing from all ICS roms.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] frekio:
I definitely sympathize with the question even if I also agree that which rom is the best is very subjective. I started trying out all the ICS roms a few weeks ago and thought I'd have a clear favorite in the end but I was wrong.

Stability wise all the ICS roms are very similar. They all have an unfortunate issue of having trouble switching over to data from wifi, for which airplane toggle off and on usually fixes it for me - this sounds like a base ICS 4.0.4 issue. For me they also periodically slow down and even crash and the overall performance is quite a bit worse than GB, but the features make it so that I can't go back to GB and it is stable and fast enough. I also noticed some random incompatibilities with apps, like I can't press the install button in the Amazon App Store (anyone know if there is a fix for that?)

Like the above commenter, Eaglesblood AOSP seemed the most stable to me and I will be checking it out again when they have a new release. That said I am currently using Genesis (+ Harsh Kernel), which is based on AOKP, and it is very nice. For me, personally, right now, it's between Eaglesblood AOSP (when the new ver hits) and Genesis though all of the roms have their bonuses and I change my mind pretty often. HFS has great visual flair and was pretty stable for me, owain does a bunch of tweaks / fixes to the base CM9, AOKP has a ton of configuration settings.

TL;DR: ICS is definitely still beta but you can't go wrong with any of the ICS roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
There are 5 ICS ROMs. If you can't take the time to try out 5 ROMs, but expect other people to do it for you, you should just stick with the ****ty stock firmware.

EB CM9 is not relevant anymore ans neither are the selfkangs, so 5.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MS Gray Man:
Ironically you proved his point. You just advocated doing some research to find the answer where it is already documented. (You said look it up.. not post a question and hope someone tells you.) :D

But to answer your question none of the G2x ICS ROMs are all there at this point. You will likely find something you don't like or doesn't work as well as it should with all of them. It's just where we are in the cycle and there are no stock ROMs to work with to solve some of the things like hardware acceleration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
Flashing roms and experimenting with each one is suppose to be FUN! I always enjoy flashing different roms and trying them out.

The devs provide these roms free of charge and now you're too lazy to even use them to your advantage? Wow.

And I can understand if you're looking for reviews while you are buying something, but this is free. And plus when people post their favorite roms, its kind of an insult to the other devs because roms shouldn't even be compared and I doubt the devs want their roms to be compared.

Just try them all and judge for yourself which one is right for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
It doesn't hurt to give a small review of the rom, though, if someone just wants your opinion. Eventually, he'll probably get around to trying them , but maybe he just wants a place to start for now. At the very least, be a bit less eilitist when you're saying for him to try the roms for himself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Indeed. With all these excellent ROMS out there, it might be confusing at first to know where to start.

Personnally, I think Owain's ROM is the most stable out there, but still i'm using the Genesis as it is very customizable and promising and there's also the HFS which is very good looking. With Harsh 1904 kernel, they are all very functionnal and performs better than my stock G2X. It all depends on what you prefer, try them all and see by yourself:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I've also noticed that they ALL perform better than stock G2x. I actually hated this phone until I flashed an ICS rom. Even after I rooted it, I just kept it stock for about a month and used Titanium Backup to freeze apps which helped the phone perform better, but it was still crap. After the first ICS rom I tried (HFS 1.4), I noticed way better performance minus the common ICS issues we all get.

Owain's definitely next on my to do list (and the last I need to try). I'm currently on Genesis beta 4 and I'm liking it so far. I haven't noticed as many data issues as I did when I used AOKP, but I'm also using Harsh kernel this time so that might make a difference. I am missing some of the tweaks from AOKP, though.

I think I'll run Genesis at least for a week, though. I've gotten into the habit of switching roms pretty frequently.

Here's a question, though: does the home screen lag every so often for you guys, too? It doesn't matter which rom I use or which launcher (Apex is awesome, BTW), but every once in a while the home screen lags and just stays blank for a few seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
Unfortunately if there"s one thing about this phone that could have been better is the ram size. 512 is too little for a dual core phone,furthermore on these experimental ICS.

The more Apps,Widgets you run that"s stuff that keeps running in background, furthermore there are some running all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Yes I also noticed that issue with Genesis used with Harsh 1904 kernel. As far as I know there's no option to keep the launcher in RAM (preventing force closes when free memory goes down) in this rom whereas activating that option in Owain's build fixed the issue. Maybe by fixing the OOM grouping of the launcher using V6 Supercharger would help ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rarert:
What is AOSP and AOKP? I can't find the definition. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Is the Video Camera working on any ICS yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Odd that you couldn't find the definitions, but:

AOSP - Android Open Source Project

AOKP - Android Open Kang Project

With the acronyms unraveled, I hope that you can find a better definition for them, than if I try.

Video Camera? No.

When it does work, I'm sure you'll see lots of celebrating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Video works with Videocam Illusion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
Dude I don't know about you guys, but i just got the supercharger last night and everything is faster.

I think it's really useful for ICS, Usually phone with Ics or even experimental ones have more ram than this phone.So a better ram managing is effective rather than the regular Android way
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
No, incorrect. The Nexus S was one of the first to have ICS and it only has 512mb and it runs it fine.

Plus the only thing he is changing are the minfree's which you can do yourself.

Dude your an idiot,no asked you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
I personally like Mr. Apocalypse's genesis v1 the best :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Do you even know what supercharger actually does? Basically adjusts minfree and oom grouping/fragmentation.

Ics is perfectly fine on my vibrant and my g2x. Both are low ram devices. The Linux/android kernel takes care of your ram and is designed to run under a steady load. It will constantly free ram and allocate it when its needed. Even stock kernels do that.

On topic: "best" is all on user prefrence. I personally go with functionality and customization that I like and use. Quadrant scores don't mean jack. You can take any stock rom convert it to ext4 and boom quadrant scores. Hell I can out quadrant my nexus with my g2x all day, but does that make it "better"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
If you buy a G2x and you don't root it and keep it stock, it just seems terrible. When I got the G2x, I did not like it until I rooted it and install custom roms. IMO, this is one of those phones that must be rooted, take advantage of the stock android speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
You're posting in a forum where anyone can post back, so yes, you asked. And, I'm right, so I'm an idiot? Great logic you have there.

Since I am such an idiot, why don't you tell me what supercharger actually does? And why ICS can't run on 512 MB RAM when it runs perfectly on phones like the Vibrant, the Nexus S, and even the Captivate.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
Yea I never really cared about quadrants and such. Just on ics apps do force close a lot more often than lets say gb.well get there someday.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
That's mostly because ics for g2x is hack and patched together. Especially in the hardware acceleration department. Which many ics apps depend on.

If nvidia and lg would simply provide us with source for a device and processor line that's end of lifed and outdated then we wouldnt have to use legacy drivers. Why do you think so many manufacturers stay away from tegra processors?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I agree 100% with this! On paper, this phone sounds really good which is why I got it on a new contract. I was more satisified with the overall performance of my Virgin Mobile Optimus V. When I finally rooted it and froze some apps with Titanium Backup, I noticed a drastic improvement on this phone and actually started to like it. Then, after flashing my first rom to it, I fell in love with it for the first time.

I still can't wait for an upgrade or for my contract to end so I can switch to Sprint, but at least now this phone is usuable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
This phone is a beast when rooted and modded..I can't believe the company itself sells a bugged phone which keeps shutting down like the stock g2x...

I'm still waiting for the day LG would actually release a "mostly functional" mobile

Yea usually all stock phones are dumbed down but lg and nvidia brought it to new heights.This phone regular for certain would give you random reboots. They don"t release the drivers only they lose because certainly most of us will know how they are and wont be spending 500 to 600 on a newer lg phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
They said q2 for the p990 its almost the end of april and no current announcements or anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Right there with ya man, no more new LG/Nvidia for me.

Knowing the development will be good for it I'll probably wait till people start selling their quadcore's on Craigslist for $30.

Exactly. Dude have you seen the Screen sizes of these "Smartphones".They becoming more like mini computers.4.7 that new LG eww.Is getting out of a hand these companies think by putting stuff bigger means better. Dual core barely began last year and they already skipping it for quadcores lol.

Personally they should have stayed more on 4.0-4.3 inches dual core for the newer phones.

until last week i was using HFS with Harsh's 3.0 kernel. after my cousin accidentaly did a factory reset on my phone i thought i should try out another rom so i went to genesis and i have never considered going back to HFS.

I'm using Genesis Beta 5 with Harsh's 2204 version of his 3.0 Kernel. Its snappy, fast, and in the last few days, i've never had a force close. And the battery life is pretty awesome.

Reasons why i love it

-Combination of CM9 and AOKP

-more customization

-better UI

-AMORA Installer (seriously, its freaking awesome.)

Some not so great stuff

-HWA not working, but thats on all ICS builds, not just HFS

-no Video (again, on ALL ICS builds)

But i agree with the other guys, its different for every phone. You should definitely consider Genesis though.

I have tryed to install a new ROM into my ViewPad7 and suddenly the tablet disconnected and got without energy. I did not realized power level before.

Now, it does not start (showing the WELCOME message) and if I would push the Recovery mode it stops with BIRDS image on screen.

Someone can help and send me any instructions to fix it?

Try Adb shell yet?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Raglef:
I have no access to the device. After power the VPad appear the "Birds" on the screen and a few seconds later the "Welcome" message. This message remains on screen until battery runs off.

I tryed accessing the root (pressing both volume and switch on button simultaneously) and it appears "enter Recovery mode" on the upper left corner of the screen together with "Birds". This screen also remains forever until battery discharge completly.

I connected the tablet to the PC but I did not find any executable system file. If I try to copy any new file into the tablet it comes up the message "drive unwritable".

So, how can I access ADB shell?

What can I do to reinstal a new ROM?

Thanks for yr help
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] indyend:
If u dont wanna try by yourself , bring it to provider.

But if u wanna try, connect your viewpad to computer.

Setup driver from new drive.

Open adb from new drive or other tools from internet.

You can flash new rom from sut 1.7 or fixed boot, but every way have a detail u must lean.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Raglef:
Can you detail how to access ADB?

I did not understand your explanation.

ADB is tool for u can change(i don't know how much it can do) some file or fix something in you pad.

If u can use ADB login to your pad. I think u can use SUT 1.7 to flash stock rom too.

And u can google for find the way to fix from ADB by yourself. I'm just try to help at first step , with my weak english.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
I cart my Transformer Prime back and forth between campus and home every day, and there's important enough information on my tablet that I use as complicated a swipe pattern as I could possibly make to keep it secure.

Except it's a royal pain in the butt when I'm at home. I tried both just dealing with it and changing the setting every time I got to either place but got annoyed with both solutions. Plus, with Tasker installed I always ask myself why do something when I can automate it?

I'm just wondering if what's asked in the thread title is possible, and if so, how? Thanks guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I thought tasker or a similar app could do something like that. Or find a widget or toggle button for THST feature you want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
I'm sure that tasker could do it, but on my own I haven't been able to figure out to have it change depending on which wifi network I connect to.

[HTC One X] noisy_lightning:
I have owned this phone only for three days now, coming from a DHD.

Today I installed the 1.28 update and since then my cellular signal has been all over the place. I normally get a solid 5bar HSDPA signal where I live and since the update I have had nothing but issues.

My Sim card seems to be rejected (I am baseing this around the fact that when the radio seems to cycle I get a message saying "preparing sim") but aso it seems to just lock up entirely. Earlier I thought I had a signal only to make a call and have it fail, I tried to cycle the power to the radio by putting the phone into airplane mode but this didnt work so had to do a hard reset which then allowed me to make a call, but the call froze after 5 minutes, again with a seemingly locked up radio.

Any one else got these issues, as my phone is effectively a small but expensive tablet at the moment!
[HTC One X] TremF:
I have that issue BEFORE the 1.28 update. The other day my wife rang me at work and whilst we were talking we were cut off but my phone still showed as connected with signal. I figured she maybe lost signal herself. I tried to ring her back both on her mobile and the land line and my phone would not ring out (as far as I was concerned) I tried to put Airplane mode on but it didn't work so I had to reset the phone.

I haven't had it since but the strange thing is even though the phone didn't give me any indication that it was ringing out my wife said that both her mobile and the land line rang.

It seems strange that I couldn't toggle the radio/airplane mode or hear anything but the phone did actually ring out. Maybe the issue effected the radio and speaker? That's something to test if yours does it again. Ring a phone nearby to see if that does actually ring?
[HTC One X] noisy_lightning:
Update from yesterday, I currently have a signal as I am typing this, if however I make a call it will connect and I can listen for a second then it drops with the signal dieing. Followed right away by coming back up.

A reboot seemed to fix it for the moment, but not sure how long for. Next step is a factory reset for me and see how I get on from then.
[HTC One X] floepie:
AFAIK, the radio isn't updated?
[HTC One X] noisy_lightning:
I have taken it back and swapped it for another one now. Just waiting for it to charge then I am going to do the FOTA update and then install everything. So far though so good and the three calls I have made/recieved worked perfectly.

Seems to have beena faulty handset *fingers crossed"
