Hey I'm using the ultimate droid rom for the g2. And it must have got discontinued because I xant find it anywhere. So I'm looking for a replacement rom. Looking for vanilla, no sense (ew). And something with a good kernal maybe the 1.8 or 1.9OC? Anyways looking for better preformance and not a downgrade from what I'm using.

what do you mean by you can't find it anymore...?

I left ud for pyromod. The dev can be a **** though(yeah I said it) . But now I'm on the gingerbread leak for the g2 and perfect after adding a few things. Pyro is good, xboarders stuff is good too, stock gingerbread rocks.
You are aware that xda isn't the only place in the world to get roms right? If you used this crazy new invention called google you wouldn't of even made the discontinued statement

It's got some different options, not sure if it's better than CM7 though. I would wholeheartedly recommend meXdroid or Pyromod here; both are CM7 variants that have great themes with some tweaks to CM7's base. Users of UD would probably feel right at home with either.
Guess I should try this Pyro mod

Also your not going to find any rom comming with a 1.8ghz standard. Thats for advanced users and you need to make it work yourself so you dont fry your phone. I would recomend you stick to 1.5ghz tops. You wont notice any difference anyway unless your trying to compete with quad/linepack scores....

Well I'm just looking to have it. I run my G2 at 1ghz. I just like having the ability to have more.

In my opinion I am using Damage Control 3.5 Final... but you have to fully rooted (have unlocked your NAND) for this ROM to install. So if you used toast's method to ROOT you should be fine. I have excellent battery life and havent had any problems witht this ROM. Wifi tether works (I used it yesterday to jailbreak an iPad at bestbuy).
I'm defiantly full nand unlocked.does that rom have sense installed? I use launcher pro. Also hows your ram on that one? On fresh typically have about 175-200 free.

Yes it does have Sense.. .and Internal Phone storeage is about 300MB before I installed all of my apps...
I use CyanogenMod, the nightly builds (it's gotten a lot faster than RC1 since a few days ago).
Personally there are some aspects of Sense I miss... Mostly the text select for copy/paste, since vanilla Android's implementation sucks, but overall I prefer CyanogenMod more, hands-down. Also, I trend to average around 180-200MB free RAM.
As far as I know, if you don't want any trace of Sense on your phone, CyanogenMod is your only real choice, since it is built from the ground up on Android's sourcecode.
But with any other ROM, Sense can be disabled.
The two I'd recommend would be CyanogenMod or Baked Snacks. I haven't tried Damaged Goods though... I'll have to try it out.
Oh, and just so you know, CyanogenMod currently doesn't have 4G, if that matters to you.

for DC 3.5 you can very easily Ban sense in DCONFIG if you dont want it. I ban all sprint apps, sense, and launcher in the config so that all i am left with is launcher pro.
This lets me have my 4g, hdmi, fm radio. Still lets me have 2.2 and gets rid of sense. plus DC is an amazing rom anyway.
what's the best, fullest, up to date, 3.0 rom available for the G2? after watching videos and what you can do with sense it seems more appealing, help???

Lol sound just like me yesterday. It all depends. In using core droid right now. Still trying to get it sand understand sense. But I'd try that one. The Dev is always around to help. You could also try sense less Romeo or the other one. I may give those a try. Stock look and feel but sense widgets and stuff
Edit= full 3.0 is unity I think
Sent from my G2 coredroid
Is recommend starting with virtuous froyo 1.0.x. reason being the build has been around for long enough and the devs are very dedicated to fixing every single little bug reported.
You can go with one of the more recent and I'd argue more experimental roms based on gingerbread but there are at least a few minor issues that you gotta deal with which might lead you to think that there are fundmental build quality problems with Sense; there isn't.
Happy sensing!

Can anyone give me a recommendation of a different rom and their thoughts about it? If you have time, could you also provide a brief description of the features provided in the rom?

Just a thought, why don't you give to the developement section and have a look at all the roms on offer. Many people comment on them so if you bother reading the comments you'll see any pros/cons.

Have you calibrated your battery/wiped battery stats after flashing that rom?
I'll recommend MIUI Osimood, it's bit different, but it works and is great. Just backup your current rom and get flashing, and try out different roms.

I am a huge CM fan. I have used it on 3 phones now and it acts differently on each. But the CM7 stable (7.0.3) for vision is the best so far with regards to stability and battery life. I used the latest bell radio and didnt automatch RILs. I can get more than a full days with HEAVY use of the phone.
This is my best combo (rom/phone) so far. I still prefered the Milestone build quality...but battery life and RAM sucked the life out of it. Especially with CM.

Sent From My T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I am using the freshly released Virtous Sense 2.0.0. Why? Because it's based on the recently published original ROM for the HTC Desire Z / G2: 2.42.405.2
So it's native to the G2/Desire Z and not a port, which I consider important regarding stability etc. Especially since the Desire Z with it's hardware keyboard is definitely an exotic variant in the realm of the droids...
What I also like about the Virtuous Sense MOD:
- Slightly overclocking/underclocking is included in the kernel, which makes it a smoother experience while saving power when the screen is turned off.
- You still have the original HTC Sense 2.1 experience
- little things like the battery icon are enhanced (you get an exact percentage) and can also be configured individually if wanted
Tronar
If I were to restore to my stock backup, and tell it to update, will it take my root? I'm kinda thinking about unrooting, just cuz I'd like to go back to stock..... I think. Someone please tell me what will/might happen if I tell it to take the update.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Why not just download a rooted stock rom? Going back to stock if you unroot gains nothing. Unless you are taking the phone back.
Ok. I was kinda wanting to also make sure it was faster and I could freeze stuff if I needed to. I was using skyraider yesterday, but my speed went way down. But I also think it could've been due to the mods I was using.
Also,what is the fastest sense based ROM? Like uses least amount of RAM and CPU. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Stock Rom is definately not faster than custom roms its packed with bloat. I've been using bamf forever seems pretty fast to me

I was using skyraider, but it seemed to eat up memory like a mofo. But, like I said before, I was using some of andybones' mods like the transparent settings.apk and such. Would that cause it to eat up more?
If you are already rooted you can install RMK 2.3.4 build which is official and fast and debloated. Buy titanium backup and freeze what you don't want.

Well, I tried newts ROMs, and I thought they were a bit buggy. I tried virtuous and didn't like it. I don't like straight sense 3. I like scrolling wallpaper. I liked skyraider because of that. Any other sense 2.1/3 or even a 2.1/3.5 mix would be sick. Being able to hide icons on the lockscreen and ditch pages. Can someone mix those, or is that too hard?

All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.
So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?

Is it Verizon? If it is then its cdma.

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.
