[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychopuff:
Well it appears I don't have enough karma to post to the relevant thread so I'll just drop this here. Hopefully the folks over at

will see it....

Et all,

I would like to step out of my normal lurking to post some feedback. Firstly, I'm not a dev. Like most of you I'm just an avid consumer of ROMs who is technical enough to keep up with them. I've installed the 1.9 HF release and am mostly pleased. I know people complain about install issues and BB issues and etc so let me throw out a recommendation for a clean install:

1) Assume nothing. You will lose everything. I don't even work off a backup really although I do sync with Google like a good boy.

2) READ THE ENTIRE FORUM THREAD. Yes. It hurts. But it hurts less than a bricked phone or a lousy experience. And you don't end up asking questions that have already been asked. I'm always please with how polite folks can be. Sometimes I just want to lean close into my monitor and yell "RTFM or RTFP!" but that's probably why I keep a lower profile. You also catch the glitches that might give you that bad experience. Like the baseband concern(s) that have been posted.

3) I did everything I could thru the proper LG update tool first. Tmobile G2X P999DW. This got my BB up to 3-11-2012 before I started anything.

4) Get all your backups and get them completely off your phone.

5) Get the LATEST CWM first.

6) Go thru the usual wiping out of your phone. One comment I have on this part is that I always completely wipe my phone. Meaning, in addition to the usual "wipe data / factory reset" | "Wipe Dalvik Cache" | etc. I also clear out the battery stats and completely format the external SD card. Silly? Dunno. My complaints seem less than others.

7) Once the phone boots let it sit. Uncheck syncing with google and just let it warm up. Seriously leave it for like 20 minutes just sitting there. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

8) Play around with the default apps. Default settings. Default functionality. Audio? Data? MMS? USB tether? Is everything working? Is everything reasonably responsive? Basically the goal here is to have a "sign off" on the upgrade process and the installed ROM at this point. Before you add your apps and your settings back. Make sure that the ROM is solid at this point.

9) Decide at this point if (and what) you want to restore from backup. I do have titanium backup and do use it sometimes but I often find that simply pulling my relevant apps back down from the store and reconfiguring my preferences keeps things a little more stable and I also maintain an understanding of the ROM settings if I manually navigate things myself.

Result? My install went clean and the ROM seems very solid. I've reloaded my apps and widgets back and customized everything in my preferences and I am happy.	I am experiencing what I believe is being referred to as the data drop issue. I have noticed several times a "network unreachable" type error (depending on the app) when I know my coverage is good and I can often retry a few times and it'll work again. Looking forward to seeing some progress on this. Other than the data drop the ROM is everything the positive feedback hypes it up to be. Seemingly solid. Fast. I love the interface. Definitely extends the life of my G2X.

Thank you everyone who contributes either as a dev or as a consumer to these threads. You keep the culture alive.
