Hi I'm currently running topogigis rom but was wondering if there was any real advantages or disadvantages if i moved to cm7?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
I like CM7 best. I have found one stable one for me and it got all I need. Its snappy and fast and drains little battery. Topogigi is really good too but I just like cm7 so damn much.

nightlies !
stable release is nothing else than a nightlybuild considered stable, but outdated at the moment, since it´s over 2 weeks old and a lot of new commits are in the new nightlies ...
Cool ill try that. Now if only i could stop the vibrate in recovery... :-(

Ok installed the latest nightly just a couple of quirks
Camera video performance is really poor must only be recording at 10 fps
SD card write is very slow 5mbps and they are mounted the wrong way
no voodoo sound overclocking what's the best kernal to try?
Also the apps icon is missing in the dock how can I put it back?

I'm sad no one showed any miui love. I tried cm7 and got tired of trying to keep up with nightlies and different versions with its own set of problems. I tried to change kernel and got bsod and so on.
Then I learned about miui with tweak pack thats in this forum. Pure awesomeness. Even the setup is so easy.
1) backup your current setup for safety
2) rom manager go to miui.us and get latest version and wipe all data and cache and install it
3) boot into miui once at least then reboot into recovery
4) in recovery flash the tweak zip file and reboot your phone and your done
You have a badass kernel with tweaks added on miui and it is smoooooth like silk. I personally like miui because it has built in apps for file manager and network monitor and all those basic things that you expect a phone to have now, I hate having to download third party apps for basic things and they come with ads and look nothing like the phones interface. With miui now I have a phone that I can show my friends and it looks nothing like an iphone or an android. Its the best of everything. Not just good looks but inside its tweaked to perfection and proper battery usage along with overclock. No need for setcpu and those battery apps.
Hows the camera on miui as I use the camcorder alot with the kids so unless I can get the camcorder functioning correctly ill probably go back to topogigi

Im currently using the "semi-official 2.3.4" rom from jboxer, which is stock based taken from another LG phone with the same hardware as the G2x. and it works perfectly, faster than stock 2.3.3..
only issues i have is the camera, stock android camera on G2x is no where near as good as the stock LG 2.2 cam. you can flash the LG cam V3 that is floating around, but then you compromise the functionality of the FFC, and that really takes a toll on the gtalk video chatting (which is the main benefit of using any 2.3.4 rom.
GPS locks on really fast too (big plus)
hope this helps you with your decision making
I would like to prove many rooms, but I use FM radio a lot, so for now, I cannot move from TOPOGIGI room

I replaced the camera in miui with the cm7 one with the fancy high bitrate and stuff. There's a tweak pack where forum user higsy has posted the camera from cm7 that you can use to replace the miui camera

does this tweak pack work on any Rom? specifically the jboxer semi-officail 2.3.4 one?
if so can you provide a link, I cant seem to find it, did a search but had no luck

This tweak pack is only for miui and includes a kernel. You need miui + tweak pack and thats it.
The kernel on its own is called swiftextreme and that might work with other rom's I am not sure you have to post on that thread to get reply for the guys who make it.

Hi guys, I myself am a G2 user, but months ago I loaded cm7 onto my friends milestone, while he does enjoy it he mentioned to me he has a lot of random reboots/freezes etc. It has cm 7.0.0 on it, I'm assuming it wasn't very stable then.
What I would like to ask is what rom would you all reccomend for speed and features? Myself I'm a huge cm fan, but don't know much about the milestones limits. If someone could confirm the newer ports of cm7 work better? I see 7.1.0.2 is here.
Looking forward to your guys thoughts and advice on the matter.
Cheers!
Edit. Or if there's another rom you'd recomend!

I am using Miui 1.10.21, built on Gingerbread 2.3.7
Its a superb ROM, except, it is overclocked to 1Ghz.
I will not recommend overclocking as a safe practice.
Except that its smooth, beautiful & works perfect

haha good one, I have a G2 also and using some times the milestone.
I'm running froyomod 2.9.2. In my humble opinion, its kind of slow... I never really use the milestone with the stock rom, so I cant compare. But if I compare with my G2 with unity rom, the moto is slow @ 800 mhz.
But at least froyomod is ultra stable and has a good battery life.
I'll maybe try this week miui, I'll see.

I don't face this kind of problem. Is there a lot of background process running?
Normally, i will kill off the facebook, whatapps and other unrelated process when not using them.
Thnx for the help guys, I flashed the latest cm7 kang for him since he was accustomed to cm7 already, since 7.0.0 it has come leaps and bounds, very snappy and he's getting a full 18 hours of heavy usage. He's happy, I'm happy. Thanks for all the input, tho I don't regularly frequent this device forum its great to know it contains helpful users just like my g2/dz forum. Thanx again guys!

No. Won't work because of the different KGSL drivers (this is the only change anyway).
For what reason did you want to try this?
Till now pretty smooth and rock solid, hardly any fc's.
Only problem i found is the render glitch, which makes browsing and maps and gmail almost unuseable.
So if you need the features like cam and previous stated, i wouldnt recommend it. Remember its an alpha and not a beta or stable

Was interested to try this as I much rather prefer your own aosp Alpha 2.1,rather than the cyanogen mod port.Would be nice to get hw acceleration,but nvm.
Something I am very looking forward though is the 4.0 & sense 3.5 hybrid,especially when we consider we could de-sense it and still have stable,camera working Rom.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I've been using St.Matt's ICS Alpha build for a couple of weeks now and have enjoyed the ride so far.
With the latest release and the native HW acceleration, I am willing to forego the omission of a camera.
There is the rather annoying Browser rendering issue and a couple of glitches with the graphics sometimes but it works amazingly otherwise.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I think it works great it is smooth but there are some glitches. but having said that the glitches and not having the ability to use my 8mp dual flash camera..... lol, is not kind of a pain in the butt. so i will be waiting for htc to release the camera kernal so we can fix this bug and begin our journey onto the ICS platform.
This is just my person opinion some others may disagree and say that the camera bug is ok and they are willing to forgo this problem and use it anyways. Me not so much but like i said i am eagerly awaiting the fixes and cant wait to see what the amazing devs can conjure up in there magic pots lol.
hope this helped you.
I agree with the above... but it was nice to give it a test run. koodos dev team

This is a test build with work mostly from arcee and a little by myself to get the newest cyanogenmod to work with the radio on the p925 aka LG Thrill. This build has arcee's latest patches for better a2dp and removal of gps logging.
Install the same way you would cyanogenmod. This is a test thread and will be removed once arcee gets the p925 nightlies up and running. Leave any feedback you have below and I will pass them to arcee.

if you have the arcee kang build installed than all you have to do is wipe cache. If you are coming from a lg based rom you need to wipe data/cache.

Of course not. It is made for the thrills current radio. Until LG and AT&T decide to release gingerbread for us we have to have two separate build setups for the p920 and p925.

Hmmm...I really liked CM7 but it tore through battery life way too fast. It's okay while I'm on Christmas vacation but once next week rolls around, there's no way I can have that short of battery life. The longest I was able to hold a charge was 7 hours and that was without using my phone, down to 1 screen, only Gmail and exchange synced, and screen off. I tried 3 different batteries and all the same result.
On the Doomed ROM, I can get 8-10 hours of battery life with making calls, texts, downloading apps, uninstalling apps, playing games, running multiple screens with quite a few things synced, etc

I know he wants to get hdmi working but 3d I am not sure.
The 3D issue is with LGs propriatary 3d software that does not seem to work well with others...
I could honestly care less about 3D. I'd rather see HDMI fixed.
There is no 3d (except in camera, weird) b/c it relies on lg's proprietary 3d framework, and cm7 is built from Google source.

arcee did a good job and showed me how to make it compatible with the old radio.

Well from all the roms I've flashed the fastest ones I've dealt with is the DX OS and CM 7.2 release that just came out. I prefer DX OS but for me MMS was a big problem. I couldn't receive any through the DX messenger and had to use the default messenger to receive them. Besides that I loved it. CM 7.2 just seems a lot more stable and less of a headache if you want something simple and easy to use. Haven't had any problems so far with the OS. But at the same time I've tweaked it a lot more then any other ROM so far.
cm7.2 by far.
if your looking ics wise, i'm not trying to toot my own horn here but the aokp port i added is quite snappy, fun to mess around with. if you try it, see if youtube works! i havnt had anyone verify for me, i know it works for me though.
sense wise, definitely zero hero from matt and dastin
supercharger v6 script goes a long way with our old phones, use compcache and cut out bloat that you know you absolutely wont use
Ok, you are not going to like this, but I just have to share my experiance with the 4.0.X series.
None, is good enough for daily use, yet.
Example: In my car, BT on, GPS on and incoming call hangs. Total lock up, random reboot. Messages: Contact process do not answere, would you like to terminate process. FB, same. Go Launcher, same.. other apps, same. Had ardx or CK kernal. No hyper settings, nothing more than on a regular GB rom.
I am starting to have dissbelieves on 4.X.X on this device. Reason? CPU and RAM in combination of looked up drivers our excellent developers can't get their hands on and mix/crossovers from other devices ports
Question: Is there anyone loobying / connected to Qualcomm/Huawei?
What can I do?
Please, this IS NOT any critique to anyone involved with any rom, port, dev, member or post. Just a question on where we are heading.

Same my thoughts and that is the reason I'm still on GB (Bumblebee), I was getting lot of Launcher Redraws also on 4.0.4 and all the other problems which you mentioned and the culprit is our RAM which is not even 512mb (only 351 or 356MB), if you switch off running background processes then what's the use of a smartphone without multi tasking.
Hi chrillefr...Have you tried IceCold 8.0...Before this ROM I had the same feeling what you have now...but since this ROM has come I have tried other ROM's experimenting but I revert back to this ROM.
Your feedback on this?...Our developers are working hard to get the perfect ROM for this phone.

.. yes, a bit of that in my mind. I know dev's are working their ass of to get all of this together and I'm blessed to take part of it too.

Multitasking, cam, BT and GPS and no wait state is what I need for daily use. Cam corder and front cam if possible.
Now, battery is good, sound and tether too.
Lets say I want to relie on my phone around others, not necessary stand out but not die on me like an old car that I don't know if it takes me from A to B.
Roms are getting larger both on cpu and gpu, just as computers and I guess we are getting closer to the limit with this one. So build light.
Sent from my A99 using xda app-developers app
Very true bro.
After extensively testing most of the roms in this forum, especially the ics ones, I've finally gone back to Sharp Rom fix 1, as most of the ics roms are not really designed for our device and though the Devs are doing there best to make it work but let's face is, I don't think our device can take that much any more. I personally multitask a lot and its very annoying and embarrassing when it fcs or reboot while your trying to show something to someone. As for me I think am gonna stick with Sharp for a while till something comes out of all the ics roms. I've asked if ck could make his kernel compatible with sharp cos I fill that will make it great.
Also don't you guys think most of these roms that aren't really meant for our phones that we regularly flash can be detrimental to the health of our phones at the long run? Like Chris will say, just my 2 cents lol.
This is just my personal opinion and am sorry if it makes some peep feel bad.
