T-Mobile is having a web only deal right now with the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the G2. I just ordered the G2 and I'm wondering which Gingerbread rom you guys are using?
I just need something that has everything working with over clock. Anybody got any suggestions? Is there a difference between Cyanogen and Nightly's rom?
CM 7.0.0 is the latest stable. No more nightlies. I try other roms but keep coming back to CM! Some people complain of gps issues but I don't use it so I can't attest to that...

Oic. Anything changed in it from 7.0.0?

Just a couple of small bug fixes to do with the notification bar not being smooth when you slide it down. And if you had a short cut or gesture mapped to open the notification bar in the stable release it would not open, but it has now been fixed.

I tried all the ROMS in Rom Manager and after just a few days i eventually went back to CM 7.
When you root follow the guide on the wiki here, not visionary.
Also want to mention that my GPS is broke Since i flashed Virtous, still broken in MIUI and CM 7. Im about to try the GPS fix now.

Thanks.
I would do some research myself, but don't have a computer at the moment and it's a bit slow to research on my outdated MotoCliq. Lol
I have been using xboarder56's gingerbread ROMs, and they are pretty close to stock gingerbread, I think. I have never used the CM or any of the other ones.
I also rooted my phone using this really easy method which uses visionary then I uninstalled visionary and haven't had a problem. I think it was the method that didn't require ADB.

No. There's a method here that's SUPER SIMPLE not overly complicated. You use vision for temp root and type like 3 commands and you're good to go! This command stuff is foreign to me and I did it just fine

I rooted my G2 2 days ago, I used the Visionary to temp root + gfree way to root, had no problems, worked on 1st try. The first and only mod I have flashed is CM7. Gonna use it for a bit, then probably try some others, probably will always come back to CM. I shouldn't have tried it 1st haha, should have tried it last. Its kind of a hassle having to re-install all your apps, and redo all your settigns and stuff, after flashing each ROM. I want to try the meXdroid ROM though, has some Xpera features, looks nice. I also have the GPS problems- weather apps and maps never being able to lock on my location. There is a fix in this thread, haven't tried it yet. I don't really use GPS, anyway, always keep it off. Have only used Google Nav once, hahaha.
Use gfree, you get sim unlock super Cid the whole shebang. Just follow the wiki its laid out perfectly

I used the visionary temp/g-free method and everything went smooth.
I noticed that a lot of themes and such are mostly created for the Nightly version for CM7. Why is that?

Pleased to here rooting went smoothly.
If your running CM7 the best bet for themes is to use the theme chooser, you can download themes from the market or if you head over to the general android themes forum there are loads available for free. The great thing about using the theme chooser is that your not stuck to running a certain release of a ROM just because of a theme, they will work on the latest nightly's.
But I thought that most of the flashable themes that were available for our handsets were now updated to run with CM7 Stable
This patch will replace effectively the entire media library stack with a newer version, allowing Netflix to function on Gingerbread ROMs. The patch does not contain the Netflix apk itself, just the libs to fix playback. As far as I know, the patch WILL NOT work on Froyo.
Several folks on IRC confirmed the patch works. However, I recommend a Nandroid backup before applying the patch. Worst case, you can re-install your ROM to revert the changes. No wipes or anything are needed.
Enjoy!

Thanks rmk for the patch.
In case anyone is wondering this does not fix the fps issue on the latest nightly with Netflix.

As I understand it FPS issues usually have something to do with the kernel/ramdisk.

Running CM10 nightlies and am curious what the requirements are for it to become official?
Also, CM has OpenVPN - is this in the nightlies? If not will it be added?

I am not sure, but I know now that the GPS is not working. You have to lock with a different rom, then flash cm10 to get it to work. So I guess these things need to be fixed before it goes official
lol openvpn might be included when it becomes official.. cm9 never made it and cm10 is a ways awY and def wont have it until after we have jb source for our phones if ever

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, just ran into the GPS bug again...... :crying:
I'd run a stock ROM but I want to be able to set the permissions for each app. CM10 for our phones doesn't have this ability but you can run pdroid 2.0. Unless I'm misunderstanding CM10 is the only ROM pdroid 2.0 will work on.
Try the pacman ROM. The GPS is working fine on it

I was able to get a GPS lock in CM10 by simply deleting the file gps.conf in the folder /system/etc/ . I rebooted after deleting the file and was able to get a lock with about 15 meter accuracy within 30 seconds.
On any CM10 based ROM, when I take a picture, it saves EXIF date as December 8, 2002. This wouldn't be bad except I use a lot of applications that create albums based on that date. Also, Dropbox reads this date instead of the filename or created date.
Does anybody have a solution for this? I've used different camera apps and it still does it.

This has been a problem since cm9 days. I think it was you that brought it up before and it basically fell on deaf ears. All I know is it doesn't do it in stock or Miui only CMx or anything based on CyanogenMod. I don't know if this has any connection but backups done directly in CWM have the same date code where as in Rom Manager it doesn't. Could the camera app and CWM be pulling from the same source?

Yeah, it was me who brought it up and yes, it was ignored. I even submitted a bug to CM and now I can't find the bug in their system. This bug is actually the only thing keeping me from permanently switching to any CM10.1 based ROM.
If anybody has a fix or workaround, please let me know.

Its the date thing plus Bluetooth, YouTube and reboot issues for me that keeps me going back to ICS. BTW I would like for you to try my latest tweaked version of v20f NitroTNT v 2 and see what you think. I believe I have finally solved the lag issue that has been an issue for our phones. Its a culmination of efforts from HO!NO!, lyfkevin and you. Let me know what you think. Also I modified the build.props file so no need to input access point info for it to work on AT&T. Enjoy.
One more thing, wind kernel 3.6 is built in.

cm10.1 is slowly getting better, ricardo had MHL working on 10.1 on his phone, it doesn't work on mine for some reason still trying to figure out why, that was always my main reason for staying on ICS, that and battery life, but the battery life is as good as ICS now, if they get mhl working i won't even need ics anymore. my bluetooth is working fine by the way i think it's fixed 100%, i can even use mine iwth a ps3 controller, car stereo etc without issues. my youtube also works great when i disable HW overlays in dev options (thanks mattman for that tip)
i have only seen mhl work on my phone with mattmans liquid nitro and stock ICS, i imagine it would work on your TNT rom also since its based on stock unless you changed something related to it
any solutions x this problem¿??¿'
Try unbricking your phone. Before it would show 12/8/2002 and after unbrick the correct date and time show up in EXIF data. Using 10.1.2 stable with wind 2.5

I remember that I did some research on this a good while ago on this. If I remember correctly, the code was right, it was something to do with the lib files that can't be decompiled and tweaked.

@mattman86: Have you tried microslav_mm's cm10? I don't know if it's the 3.4 kernel or the LG camera app but dates work fine. The ROM does have its quirks, but very good overall, been running it for the last week no BSOD's or reboots.

Yes, I have. I've tried just about every CM10 based ROM on here and they all have the problem. The CM team won't even look at the buy when I submit it.
I followed the unbrick guide above and now the problem even exists on stock ICS.
been looking around forever for an answer and found an app for acer devices which works on my S2 on PA 3.99. it doesn't completely fix the camera but helps A LOT so i thought i'd share:
it's called Acer EXIF Fixup on the Play Store.
i just created an account to share this info so i can't post a proper link but check it out and hope it helps!

I'm trying to find Release Candidate 1 or 2 of Cyanogenmod 9 for the Lg Nitro HD (cm-9.0.0-RC1-p930.zip or cm-9.0.0-RC2-p930.zip). They are last versions of Cyanogenmod 9 that work with bluetooth keyboards, and this device drains battery quickly so the newer versions of Cyanogenmod aren't for me yet. Does anyone have or know where to get these files?

Do you still have the ZIP of RC1 or RC2? It would help me out if you uploaded it to Google Docs or someplace so I could get it. I don't need any of the newer stuff in Jelly Bean, and I used RC1 for close to a whole year before my previous device got damaged, it is actually quite stable.
Goo.im just has Cyanogenmod 10 Release Candidates.

They do have the last two or three nightlies which were based on the final release just some minor bug fixes. Look here: http://www.goo.im/devs/cm/p930/nightly
Go with the 09042012 nightly, it includes the bug fixes since cm9.1 and rc2 and amounts to the final release of cm9. This IS the most reliable and stable Cyanogen rom period.

I guess I should try building the "ics-release" branch(?) of Cyanogenmod from Github and see if that works.
