Well AdamG is now working on Oxygen 2.0 so if you want to keep with the same dev it's the way to go. At the moment we are on RC7, but in the next few weeks the final build will be released, we are just waiting on the new Gingerbread OTA for the NexusOne.
Keep an eye out for it if you don't want to use a release candidate (at the moment the camera doesn't work in high quality video recording), I highly recommend it.
The thing to do would be to learn to read. In the development section for example.

Oxygen RC7 is here, take a look at it. Like I said the only thing that isn't functioning is the camera. Adam didn't want to hack up the Framework to get the camera hack working like Richardtrip has done for Ginger Villain But I love Oxygen and would highly reccomend it. A couple of weeks and the release of Nexus One OTA will be about and the Oxygen final build will be uploaded.

Hi, I am currently a vibrant owner but I am getting sick of the GPS issues and the lack of support mainly a full source of 2.2 that runs good aside from just fast. Tmobile is sending me a G2 and I will have some time to see how I like it, I was looking for some input as far as roms and kernels go for if I decide to keep it.
I had a mytouch 3g before all this and loved the cyanogen and noticed there was a cyan rom for this and I would love to get some input on how it is, good or best or what have you. If you know of any better as far as functionality and speed go please toss me some idea so I can begin researching it.
There is a CyanogenMOD 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) ROM for the G2, They are actively working on CM7 (Android 2.3) and I would expect it to come out in the next month or so.
I'm still on the stock ROM because I'm waiting for CM7.
Expect the G2 to be similar to the G1 in terms of the amount and variety of roms. There appears to be quite a bit of support for this device.

Cyanogenmod and visionary have been the ones I've used and both are excellent. Cyanogenmod has been written about in how great it is, and visionary is a great sense rom if you care for that stuff.

Check out miui rom in android development! I'm currently using it! Its awesome. I went from stock to CM 6 then Virtious then MIUI. And I think for me Miui is the best rom, it incorporates so many things...and the new release is even more awesome.

Great thats the first one I had found for it just wanted to double check! TY
Is there any rom for the G2 that is nearly pure AOSP. CM is good but I want something as pure as possible.
Try stock, but flash CM's baconbits. Its just your stock rom, but with an overclocking kernel and trackpad wake. Not the entire rom intself. It can be found in rom manager under CM.

I'm more interested in Gingerbread. I guess I'll just root and uninstall the bloatware.
You can get adventurous and install the early early cmsrc gingerbread builds. Pretty much all stock from google src, be weary though, nothing comes bug free.

Is there any dev that is willing to build from AOSP with proper modifications for the G2? I like the pure android experience on the HD2, would love to see it on the G2. Willing to donate...
Can you just let this thread die?

You can use the build vision guide, just dont say cyanogen. Search for build froyo from source st0kes. It is the same for gb
I just recently installed AOSP on my brother's G1 (my old phone) and I have to say it's an excellent rom. Having something that bareboned on the G2 would be really nice.

I have been reading into it for a while, the thing is that I do not have the time at all to take on such a feat. I'm in my last semester in Electrical Engineering and have piled on 22 credit hours, plus research, plus ~30 hours a week at my robotics team. The only chance I'll get is this summer, was hoping something before that lol.
As you can see I'm not the only one.

Try CyanogenMod 7 or use Google and install Ultimate Droid Mod 3.3.0. If you prefer the HTC UI called Sense UI you could use Virtuous Rom. If you prefer the "iPhone"-Style (please dont punish me for that xD) you could use a MIUI rom.

xboarder's rom is built from CM7 source, but isn't CM7 itself. still, it is new and if you like it, it should work better than GV1.5 in terms of bugs.
be on the lookout for a gingervillain update sometime in the future, though. I've been waiting for a loooong time for 2.0 to roll out.

when GV 1.5 came out, in my humble opinion, it was the best aosp rom available. not sure when we will see an update, but when we do I don't doubt that it will be pretty slick.

I can't wait! I know we have 2.3 already but am very excited bout some new roms based off of it using the proprietary drivers and stuff that was made specifically for this phone! I know the desire z finally came out but not a big fan of sense. Love my CM but ready for a change of scenery I did not have this phone in the beginning but I'm assuming there was a butt load of custom froyo roms based off the official till froyo became old news.

the leaked gingerbread build for the g2 is the official and there are already asop roms out. check out rmks glite rom.
Totally agree with you OP! Use to like sense but not much anymore, to me feels like a bloatware and takes up to much resources. Whilst I do love CM7, theres always somthing that doesn't function quite right.
Has the official 2.3 update arrived yet for the G2? Or any ETA's?

Its not the final. People who have gotten the phone with that build of gb on it from tmobile (refurbs) have been told they have accidentally gotten a test build of gingerbread on it. Also if it was really the final why would it have been finished months ago and still not released.

Should I install cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Wildfire.
Is it safe?,what will i get whit THAT?,will I be able to do things that I can do now?,which will be the consequences....
I was asking myself that questions for a weeks and I still don't know.
I have heard that there were some a problems after installing cyanogenmod 7 ,like problems with market,freezing,bricking....
.
ps.sorry about my grammar
- Take a Nandroid Backup (VERY important)
- Install CM7
- Test it, Look around
- If you like it, keep it
- If you don't, do a Nandroid Restore. Back to square one with no losses.
It is different from a normal Stock Sense ROM. Feature lists can be found here:
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features
While I cannot guarantee you will not experience bugs, the question of bricks doesn't arise (Unless you do something absurdly stupid).
How can I unistall it. Is there some tutorial or something.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Just go into Recovery and restore the previous made Backup.
But how to make backup
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
You should honestly read and learn more about these processes before trying to install ROMs. Lack of basic knowledge is the main reason of bricking devices. Then when your device turns into a paperweight, you will only have yourself to blame.

CM 7.1.0.1 is the latest stable version with no bugs. The Nightlies are development builds which are released daily. They include the latest features but are not stable and will contain bugs. Since this is your first attempt at this, I would recommend using the stable build.
Make sure you read the first 2 posts in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
Don't attempt to root and flash a custom ROM to your phone before you understand exactly what you are doing. If you do understand, then the process is easy and you won't brick your phone.
Edit: Apparently the latest nightly is bug free so ignore me and use that if you want.
Although I agree with what you're saying about fully understanding what you're doing before rooting etc and partly agree with flashing the stable version first I don't agree with this part.

In the beginning I guess that may have been true but nowadays I believe the cm team has gotten it down to a fine art.
I've been using nightlies since about build #80 I have only ever noticed 1 bug other than the ones i created myself, and I only spotted that because Arco mentioned it, he changed something and broke the camera which was fixed the next day.
The nightlies have stopped for the moment and the last one #256 is perfectly stable and bug free, also the one i use, 7.2 rc0 that erwinp compiled is also stable and bug free, plus the extra features make it worthwhile ditching the stable and upgrading.

I'm looking at doing this to my missus wildfire. Will she notice a performance boost? She spends hours on angry birds... Because it's so slow! I wondered if anyone noticed if the phones speed was improved with cm7 or any other ROM or will it need overclocking?

Angry birds runs for me on overclocked cm7 without any lag at all. If you do decide to root and install cm7 the built in kernel allows for overclocking up to 768mhz anyway.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thats sounds like it's the one I want then. Does it look like the standard operating system and does it have all the same apps etc? I'd preffer it to not look any differant if possible so she doesn't have the oportunity to moan at me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Sorry mate cm7 is based on gingerbread and comes with adw launcher, the stock Rom is completely different as it comes with HTC sense preinstalled on top of the android OS which contains all the HTC apps she's used to seeing, there are a couple of custom roms based on stock which do have all the apps. Only problem you might face is that sense is more resource hungry than cm7. I'm currently on one now, dk custom so I'll just install angry birds now and see how it goes.
Edit: I've just done the first 7 levels of angry birds lag free on dk custom Rom so it should be fine for her.
This thread is full of information about rooting,s-offing and installing clockworkmod recovery so you can flash a custom Rom etc
