Hey just came from a MyTouch 4G and wondering what is the best ROM for the G2? I don't want to just flash anything so any help would be appreciated .
CM is the best around
Flash a CM7 nightly, pretty stable to use as a daily driver, and it's full of gingerbread goodness The stable RC1 should drop in a few days if your a bit squirmish about nightlies.
Also, there's the stable froyo CM6.1.1 which works perfectly
Can you explain this to me more deeply and possibly point me in the right direction . I'm new to the G2 not to mention the Android scene lol.
Go to the Android Development forum, poke around in the root threads, and poke around in the stickies. Do your homework and use the search field. Nearly 100% of the questions you will have, have already been answered.
CyanogenMod ("CM") is the most popular ROM probably, and is available on all major android devices.
CM6.1.1 is stable and is based on 2.2 Froyo.
CM7 is based on 2.3, and is in "nightly" versions right now, but should be stable soon, as the other poster mentioned.

well, it is great news the cm9 is coming, so we have to give up CM7? cmdefy.tk/jordan-nightly/, the site never update since 4, Dec.
Any news?
if cm9 is coming i think the devs are focusing more for cm9
perhaps they will update cm7,but there is a small chance of that happening now
CM7.2 update is coming soon, i have a feeling that is the last update for CM7, After that CM9 takes over

Lol u're such a dumbass
I think the devs are trying to find a solution for bootloop problems, which sometimes occurs in CM7 (last nightly) and CM9
When that is fixed for both, think CM7 should be as stable as a rock and probabaly ends there...and we all move onto CM9
waiting for final 7.2 release and a stable cm9 release thereafter.
hope they work well with green lense
Hi,
I am looking to update my phone (I'm still running AOKP M4). I remember flashing CM9 nightly when it first came out, kinda just wanted to see what it was like. It was very buggy and many, many features had not been implemented. So, my question!
What is the current state of CM9 nightly? What is YOUR OPINION as to how far along it is (with 100% being the final release). I'm not necessarily a 'power user' with my Gnex so all I'm looking for is a reasonable amount of stability.
I know that there are plenty of nightly flashers out there, please share your opinions! Thanks.
I've been running the nightlies for the last few weeks, and I haven't had any problems. Cm9 is still missing a bunch of features that the final release will have, but it's been rock solid for me.

I am no fan of nightlies and only look for stable versions. Currently, I run stock 4.0.4 but am looking into flashing a stable ROM and kernel. I tried AOKP nightly and a franco kernel nightly but want a stable release.
I've heard a lot of good things about AOKP Milestone 4 and Franco's Milestone 2 kernel, but what do you think? I'd like CM9, but there are only nightlies released so far.
What ROM and kernel work best for you that aren't nightly builds, i.e "stables" or "milestones?"
I personally haven't seen ANY problems on the newest AOKP.
I think the buglist on 32 is literally down to 2 things that people have found...
Pressing "reset navbar" causes a SystemUI FC loop.
Fix: Don't press it? All it does is return your navbar back to stock settings. You can do this manually in 5 quick button presses if you really wanted to anyway.
Torch will enable...but not disable...when used from the "power menu" (the menu that pops up when you hold power.
Fix: Remove torch option from power menu...use toggles instead. Or, toggle "off" with the status-bar toggle if you wish.
You see, I don't like nightly builds or builds which are updated every second day.
That's the thing about nightlies. One fix for one bug may break another feature and fixing that might break a third feature. I have had previous experiences with nightlies on my old Nexus One and therefore I want to have a stable release.
I appreciate your input and it's been noted. If many people happen to recommend the nightly builds I might just try them.
I love this phone and have nothing to complain about. It's a huge step up from the N1.
While that may remain true...
And I appreciate the fact that you're a purist...
I'm generally THE bug-finder for AOKP builds.
The devs even seem to take note of my posts...and have PM'ed me a few times asking for logs/details/tests/etc.
Clean flashing (obviously) and I haven't found anything in the last couple days.
Also, while these "builds" are technically "nightlies" in that they're pulled for us at random, it seems...
They also don't occur every night (as you may be well aware) so if the daily flashing drives you away...it'll be more like weekly with AOKP if you want to stay up-to-date.
Gosh.
I never ever recommend a rom to people asking. Generally just tell 'em to "find your zen" on your own...
But I just wanted to emphasize the stability here.
Edit:
Oh, and builds 31/32 are prequels to another Milestone build. So if you don't find something you like by then...Milestone 5 is always a possibility.
I don't know if there will be a 33 first...
But Roman mentioned we're fast-approaching one.

What do you mean with me being a purist?
Lol, just that you like everything to "just work" and be completely stable.
I don't mean it offensively.

Well that's not entirely true, and I guess I somehow worded it wrong. I want a ROM that's stable, kinda lika OTA-stable but anything near a stable OTA is fine by me. The part where it "just works" it not really 100% accurate as I wouldn't choose android as my OS if I wanted stuff to "just work".
Some customization has to be done for me, whether it's homescreen editing or overclocking and whatnot.
Either I worded it wrong or you misunderstood, but I consider the first option since I'm not speaking English natively.
im using black ice aokp with francokernel r135.stable as official release

We honestly need to ban "what's the best rom" topics...
I've decided I want to run a nightly now, after spending hours and hours of checking ROMs, and I think it's safe to say I'll choose between either CM9 and AOKP.
Then it comes down to what kernel to use.
I am really sorry for being such a pain in the rear for you guys.

He he!!
I'm using Aokp 32 and Franco 135. Have had no issues, reboots or fCs. Just ensured not to do the 2 things mentioned above.
I absolutely love it. Couldn't be better.

Okay, I've flashed franco 135 and AOKP 32. Feels alright so far.

My preferences in order of quality, stability and speed.
LiquidSmooth 1.2 (default imo kernel)
BAMF 1.2
Foxhound 0.4
AOKP m4
Liquidsmooth 1.25 + Trinity - Bomb Proof.
May test out a new rom soon but liquid has everything I need so dont see a reason to switch expect the fact to see what other roms has to offer. Still waiting on CM9 to get few more features.
I only use the stable Rooms/Kernels myself. I been using AOKP build 32 and used Tuna-faux 123 and had no issues or problems. I am noe using the stable version of Franco's Kernel. And again, no issues. I used to always use regular CM but after using AOKP I just keep using it. I know there's all kinds of roms built off of AOKP as others. But I just use the stock versions of ROMS. Like stock CM9 or AOKP and not a ROM built off of it.
There's a lot of great choices out there. Find what works best for you and your device.

AOKP 32 with Latest Stable Lean Kernel with Interactivex governor = Best battery and performance!
Honestly I'm loving AOKP M3 and Leankernel 3.0.0. I had battery issues with francos and stuck with it till about #13, then switched to lean and never looked back. My battery life has improved dramatically and performance is still no problem
With regard to AOKP's stability, I used to stay up to date with it but I think I might just start looking for the milestones, mostly because I think I don't end up using the vast majority of features they introduce with every build. I also got hit with that systemui bug in 32 and ended up just reverting to 31 before the devs posted a workaround because it made the phone unusable. I think I got a little comfy assuming that the beta line was generally stable.
I've been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth when they release the newer 1.3, which based on the chatter in its thread sounds like it will be soon.
As far as kernels go, I think leankernel is the way to go if you're a fan of stable releases. The stable branch probably sees an update about once a week with new features. I don't use franco's kernel mostly because the milestone releases are so far and few between, but apparently he's working with the liquid team for optimizing their rom, so maybe franco M3 and liquid 1.3 will be a nice combo to settle into when those hit.

you'll have to go to rootzwiki for it ... try GLaDOS kernel too while you're there i swear by it (after trying them all)
... at least for me imo CM9 + GLaDOS are my picks i always come back to them every time (so far)
Hi, I'm new to both the android OS and xda
Recently moving off the iPhone and to the SGS3, the first thing I wanted to do with my new phone is root and install the well-acclaimed Cyanogenmod on my new phone. I'm trying to decide between using the stable CM9 or the alpha CM10. I am currently having trouble deciding because I am afraid of using a CM10 rom that has bugs, bugs that I don't believe I have the experience to really deal with. (But i love project butter)
I was wondering if the upgrades to CM10 are worth installing a less stable OS. I was also curious if i would have to reinstall the OS after every few updates. Or should I just stick with the stable CM9 and wait for a more stable CM10 release?
Thanks

To be honest man try both. Cm9 stable is going to give you a great experience IMO. I was rocking cm10 and AOKP both tons of fun. But!! I could stand the glitches, but that's me and I end up using CM or AOKP on every phone once there's a stable build. At the same time I love the look and feel of the tw rom and I waited so long for ics. That I can wait a bit longer for JB. The phone is so fast and amazing I don't think I really matters.. cuz its better than the icrap. I would flash jb cm10 or AOKP and live the life of a true flasher then if you can't stand it use Cm9 til a stable version of the jb comes out. Or do what I do.. use one of the amazing stock Rom's til jb comes and go crazy on a stable build. But once again that's me. I use Netflix and I love have consent controlled volume on my phone. Now I'm not knocking all the hard work of TASK or Cyanogenmod both are amazing! I mean the preview builds are great! But I need stable for work and as of now my vaca.
