Might Get A G2. Which ROM?

Hey guys.
I'm currently the owner of an HTC HD2 that's running a NAND installation of Android 2.3. (HyperDroidGBX)
I have a potential trade in place to give someone here my HD2 for his G2.
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what current ROM seems to be the fastest for the G2.
I'd like to do some research before I pull the trigger on the deal, and any info you can provide would be extremely appreciated. I know there's no such thing as a "Best" ROM as everyone's tastes are different, but there's usually a couple that stand out speed-wise.
Thanks!

Try CM7 nightly～

Thanks, I'll read up on that one.
What exactly is the whole "nightly" thing?
HD2 has them as well, and never understood what it meant.

nightly means it gets updated nightly.
you don't flash a new rom but every night there's a new update and changes are made to the rom
do you like HTC Sense? if so, go Virtuous
if you prefer not to have HTC Sense, then go CM7. Start with the stable build then when you're confident, go nightly.

Ultimatedroid is the fastest hands down. Any of the gingersense type roms are decent. But for smooth and fast UD is where its at regardless of what certain people might say in response to this..

Mexdroid! It's built off CM, and has great custom theming and other tweaks.

Personally I am sticking with the stock (rooted) ROM until CM7 goes stable (and is proven as actually stable)
For me stability and all features working is paramount, that philosophy drives me to wipe every time I update, since getting everything back the way it was after I wipe is a PITA I will only update if I know that the new build will work for me for several months at a minimum.
As I understand it RC4 is almost there (there still seem to be some lingering GPS and other issues) but since the final release is likely imminent I don't want to wipe & install RC4 only to wipe again in a few weeks to install the final release.
If you don't feel the need to wipe between updates (which IMO produces instability) or you don't need 100% reliability in general I'd say go for RC4.

Dude, all roms i use r stable 98% of time. Don't stick with stock cuz u hear bad stuff. Reputable roms are daily drivers. Any problems pop up i just reboot and usually they go away. You're missing out bigtime yo

I don't mind a few hiccups in exchange for customization.
I'm running HyperDroid GBX on my HD2 right now, and it's awesome. Really fast, stable, and generally fine for a daily driver.
Wouldn't mind something similar on the G2. Sounds like the CM7 nightly might be the one.
Although knowing me, I'd probably try a few anyway.
I like a clean look, which is why I like HyperDroid so much:

}

The G2 I'm getting is untouched. It's on stock ROM, no root, etc.
I've read on some threads that rooting has a high risk of bricking the phone. Is this true?
I have only done work on the HD2 so far. Plenty of experience with that, but I never really ran the risk of bricking as long as I had the right radio/ROM combo.

I used to have hd2 and develope for it now I make a close to stock gingerbread build 2.3.3 based on cm7 newest nightlys removing almost all cm stuff it is really fast and greet battery life
Use gfree method worked for me and to have less of risk don't flash enginnering boot loader. That's the only way to brick your phone

The main reason alone I install CyanongenMOD 9 on devices, is just to get ICS. Our device already has ICS so w/e, plus its probably going to mess up a lot of stuff on the tablet anyways as usual with custom ROMS.

You could try it, but I'm waiting on the one for the a100. It's just one day .

Ok does the same you will wait
a question of curiosity when you leave the ics you think we can install it with the unlocked bootloader?
I think there will be no way to unlock in a while for ACER While noting our progress and patched

Could you rephrase that? Install what? CM9? You will just have to flash it with CWM. You won't need to re-unlock your bootloader. It is a custom rom, not official, so your unlocked bootloader will remain unlocked.

sorry I'm writing with the google translator I mean if the unlocked bootloader will be able to upgrade to official ICS?

CM9 stuff . It's going to be like AOSP - just bare-bone ICS with CM9's extras.

it'll be faster, more customizable, and well, CM9 man.
I can say right now its faster than stock ICS leaks we've had so far. I have proof....
oh and there will be a stock CWM recovery as well. Lots of issues with the thor one weve piggy backed with.

[Q] Code Freeze for CM9

I saw this on the CM( touchpad forum. how will this effect the epic?
The CyanogenMod team has announced that a code freeze has been put into place for CM9. That would be the version based on Ice Cream Sandwich source, and it's one of the most downloaded ROM's in Android history. So what does this mean for us, the end users? It means that a release candidate (RC) is on its way, and they are in the process of squashing bugs to make it stable. The team states in its blog post that nightly builds will still happen, but they won't be accepting any code other than bugfixes, device support, and translations into the release branch.
The initial release will cover a small amount of devices initially, but other devices will be added further down the road. (The process of adding new devices should be helped along by the streamlining of certain code.) Given the large undertaking of moving to ICS, and the amount of time that has been spent on it, knowing that a release candidate is on its way should make CM fans very happy. Already running and experimental build of CM9? Be sure to share your thoughts in the forums.

It wasnt a question. It was trying to create input for an important topic to inform people of up coming events. Epic CM9 operates a little differently then other devices. Therefore it is hard to predict the effects on our epics.
I think you moving the topic was a big mistake and I have been around here for a lot longer than my current user name.

You checked the box "yes this is a question" thus the [Q] in the title.
And you should know better if you have been around.

You wrote, "I saw this on the CM( touchpad forum. how will this effect the epic?" to start off the thread. Admittedly, you mostly answered your own question as well. As for throwing around that you've 'been around,' you have 2 years and more than 200 posts... If you've been around longer than that, that only cements the fact that you should know how to form a thread.
On-Topic: I'm excited to see a more polished release!

Code freeze is just a "snapshot" as apposed to a rolling video. It is taken to keep a stable version for people to build off of when they are porting in order to not get random nightly bugs and to give people something stable to stay on. If anything goes wrong, they can compare back to the last snapshot (RC branch) that it worked on.

Request: MIUI port

Whats going xda users and devs!
I've always wondered how our phones would run MIUI, since our phones have the best potential and 2 gb of ram, that makes me think that the resources hungry MIUI will run fantastic in the GS3. Any of you devs have plans to port for us?

My guess is that it's probably in the works. Everybody is really focused on cm10 right now so I would imagine when that dies down a little bit we'll start seeing more of miui and other roms.

I think the fact that there is already a MIUI rom for the international GS3 would make easier to port for our D2tmo. We are a bit behing in rom options in comparison with other US variants. No rush intended tho, just wanted to bring up the interest of us tmo users for something diff and because I haven't seen any request for this either

+1, would love to see an MIUI ROM on this phone

Actually I have been working on porting MIUI over to our device and the closest I got was having it bootloop on the MIUI bootscreen. Still working on it tho but I bricked my white s3 so I had to get another. I'm looking for another dev to help me out on this.

Yeah I'm pretty much dying without a Miui port. I used Miui constantly on my HD2 and I had some really nice themes going on, very minimalistic and sexy. I've actually been considering switching back to my HD2 for the time being just so I can get back to miui, haha.

On a more personal note don't get me wrong, the default launcher of this rom is a pretty good replica, but pairing this rom with iLauncher is just absolutely perfect..
I don't know the guy who makes it, but It is worth getting and this is a plug because It's a good product
Edit: For folks who love iOS type stuff, would there be interest in an attempted port of GooPhone i5 or Zophone i5's rom?
