[T-Mobile LG G2x] hairycheapo:
I vote for LG's stock 2.3.4 with new baseband.

My wife has not rebooted her G2x since updating to the new V21y/2.3.4. It's been at least a month for her w/o ANY complaints. She used to ***** at least daily about needing to pull the battery or reboot. Call quality is much improved, but what really impresses me is the speed and accuracy of the GPS now (not sure how much that matters for your wife). Battery seems to be at least as good as when I run the latest CM Nightly with Morfic's Trinity ELP kernel underclocked.

I too keep a nandroid backup of the new stock rom on my G2x. I find it the most stable of anything I've tried. Recently I've been on Hellfire Phoenix w/ either Morfic's ELP or Faux's 50b6 kernel. I've also been through all the recent Cyanogenmod releases lately.

Benefits of the stock ROM...

-No black screens of death

-Great battery life

-Clear in-call sound

-Quick GPS locks

-Minimal force closes

Compared to CM-based ROM's I mostly miss the brightness controlled by sliding across the status bar, the status bar toggles, the CM themes, and the "render effect" that allows me to pick the hue of the screen. I like to run the red one (least bright) when I just can't stop using the phone at night.

I am beginning to play with the rooted 2.3.4 (Thanks kwes1020) in hopes of regaining some of that custom functionality that I miss from the CM-based builds...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smitty20:
Appreciative lurker, first time poster

This thread looks like the best one to get my questions answered. TIA.

Brand new G2X (got the $30 T-mobile Walmart plan), running 2.3.4 on the March 2012 BB, kernel 2.6.32.9 (if that matters)

Basically I'm looking for something stable, though I am interested in customization.

Features that are important to me:

Battery Life, speed, GPS, WiFi Calling, Bluetooth streaming (but dont care about Bluetooth calling), fast camera

Based on all my reading in these forums, I think I should be looking for a GingerBread ROM that allows some neat customization. CM7 7.2 Stable seems to be the most recommended right now. Is that right?

Also, though I have a couple years experience with Android, this will be the first time I root a phone and install a custom ROM. I was planning to use the video tutorials at theunlockr.com to start the process. Having watched all those, it looks like there are 3 steps:

1. Root: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2x/

2. Flash Custom Recovery Image: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/

3. Load Custom ROM: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/

However, I saw in another thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1761772&page=2 ) that "There is no need to root your stock Rom if you are using NVFlash to flash CWM."

So, is this a newer method or the same thing that unlockr.com is instructing me to do?

I know that's alot, but thanks for any advice...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unknownz_1:
Well, I rooted my phone for the first time about 3 months ago and I used the unlockr method. As long as you follow step by step instructions everything should go smoothly, I screwed it up and had to reload stock rom, but that just made me understand the process better.

As for which ROM to get, I tried various ones Eaglesblood, Hellfire both ICS and GB and I found that the one I liked the best was Hellfire CM7.2 supertweaked. I couldn't do ICS because I actually want to watch videos on my phone and it was too laggy. However, Hellfire ran smoothly and the battery life is amazing compared to stock. I have had this phone on mostly standby for a whole day and it was still on 60% battery life. There are no problems with wifi and camera is good. I am not sure about bluetooth since i don't use it, but the news is that there will soon be fixes to any bluetooth issues.

An extra piece of advice, if you are going to root your phone and I recommend you get the Auto Memory Manager and FasterGPS app. The former is better than app killer, which are bad for your device and the second will immensely increase GPS lock on time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smitty20:
Thanks for the quick response. So, did you do the 3 videos in that order? That is my plan. And I will look for the Hellfire ROM, thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] fatclue:
As the title implies, I'm wondering if anybody still uses one of these. I'm thinking of getting one to accompany my HP iPAQ 6945 but I haven't found anywhere that it works with WM5 and there aren't any 6.1 ROMs available for the Sable AFAIK. If it doesn't work I guess I'll have to dig up a 910c somewhere (it's listed as working by Celio) but I hate the small screen on the 910. Any input, I'm all ears.
[General Questions and Answers] Stuphologist:
Wish it worked with Android

I wish Celio had gone beyond proof-of-concept for the Android driver. I still have one. It turns on, but is totally useless. Any xda devs ever get the thing to work?

I am mobile right now, so I can't post the link but look/search for Scrizz's threads (I know they are on the Dev section though). He has one for modems and one for ICS modems. Make sure you read bc they are two different modem bases and won't work on mismatched ROMs.

OK cool, I bookmarked modems page.

Next question, where I live I get a pretty strong signal but only edge. If I flashed different modems could I possibly get a 3g signal?

I called T-Mobile and they said I should get 3g where i live however I don't think they really knew what they were talking about.

You could look around here and see if any of that helps your decision:

I appreciate the time Master&Slave put into that table, but it's still on the anectodal side of data. KB5 and KA7 have always been the best for me, but aside from using that chart it wouldn't hurt to mess around a full day with each of KA5, KA7, KB1, and KB5 and see which one floats your boat the best.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnifarious:
I apologize if this has been asked/answered before but I have searched and searched to no avail. I actually have a two part question:

1) Are there any Vibrant modems specifically for Jelly Bean and if so where are they?

2) If not, would it be OK to assume that the Vibrant modems for Ice Cream Sandwich are the ones we should use and if not then which one(s)?

Thank you to all the developers out there who have kept our phones "alive" after all this time. One day I too would like to learn to build custom ROMs with Android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Yes, the ICS list is what you want. The general consensus is that KB5 and KA7 seem to work best.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tracetheory:
I know this is going to start a argument between people but.... I used to own a fasciante, screen was great, loved the look the phone. but overall i hated it. absolutely hated it. it was slow, buggy, a lot was broken on that phone and it was a pain in the ass to put any custom roms on it(or something in the modifying side of things was, i can't really remember) so i went to the droid x.

since then i've been using mainly moto and htc devies, own the razr maxx now, rooted and running ICS. I have used all of the samsung devices currently on vzw, and, well, putting it nicely they all are garbage. but I see the GS III coming out and it looks very promising, and i love the actual design of the phone. but it being a samsung phone it worries me that it will just be garbage again.

as a vzw customer i never really got to experience the SII(had the nexus, but it's not the same) so my question is, coming from anyone who had a SI, and hated it as much as I did, how does the SII compare?

i would love to get the SIII, i just dont want to be disappointed and regret not getting the RAZR HD instead.

edit: just a note, i know there are reviews out and there and some smartass is going to link me to one, but I actually want to hear from people who know what the **** they're talking about. thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
I owned the fascinate too, but I dont get how it was a pain in the as to put roms on. Although I would like to say the difference between the fascinate and the SGS2 is great, i cant speak for it considering you are in the US. Verizon doesnt have the SGS2, nor does any international SGS2 work on verizon. I own the i9100 (not the US version, as in one from Sprint, tmobile or at&t) and I use it on AT&T, and its absolutely fantastic. I dont see any point in purchasing a SGS3 since the SGS2 does everything I need it to. Also feels very smooth.

Is anyone else having Google Calendar Sync Errors?

Just noticed this earlier today, everything syncs except calendar. I even tried clearing data on the calendar app, didn't work, so I did a factory reset. Just added my Google account and still getting an error.

Weird thing is it says com.android.calendar

Running stock rooted rom.

And when I say amazing, I mean the themes were really eye catching, and made the phone really fast.

The Blu Kuban. Killer dark-themed ROM with a ROM Updater that has tons of mods to play with. I'd check out a few other ones first though. It's so great that I haven't even given any thought to flashing something else in a month. :-)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lambohoos:
I had flashed the Frankenstein Rom and now just flashed the Blue Kuban. What I like about Blue is the customizations you can do with this ROM. The developer board is very active and are very knowledgeable about the contents of it.

All this being said... I was wondering myself what the better kernels and modems are that go with these ROM's, particularly Blue Kuban.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChiTown29:
I think I've tried damn near all of them. In terms of ICS Roms, Blu Kuban and Wicked Sensations are my two favs at this time. I think Wicked Sensations looks a bit cooler than the rest, as it's themed through and through, and developed by a well-known themer. Blu Kuban also looks sharp though, but the big plus for that one is the ROM updater. For a daily ROM, I'd pick Blu Kuban just for that factor. Less impulse to clean install and try something else when you can just update and add mods within the Rom itself. Honestly, anything made by Team VeNuM is almost guaranteed to be pretty sharp looking and smooth, in my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musikalharmony:
I agree...but like I say to almost everyone who is looking for a rom check out qbking videos. He reviews everything he gives you a sneak peek and also shows you how to install if you don't know his YouTube by now just search qbking77 also search through threads find out what's best for you. My personal favorites are blu kuban and wicked sensations also I was on blu kuban since it was released and recently tried out wicked sensations I been on there every since...team venum is very supportive so any issues you do have they will fix or guide you on how to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ap3rture:
I'd look at Frankenstein's Ego. It's a pretty vanilla ICS rom that's fairly fast and snappy.

Wicked Sensations

I have tried multiple ROMs on my phone even hard bricked a couple of them. Honestly the De-Odexed 1.2 version of Wicked Sensations ROM is amazing. It has all the ICS features I've been looking for with a smooth stable OS. I'm pretty new to flashing custom ROMs but after all the ones I've tried this one is by far the best. everything works on it including the hotspot feature. :D Couldn't be happier only complaint is the battery indicator has the percentage built in to the icon otherwise its kicks ass you should try it out!
