[Q] Just ordered a G2.

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I would do some research myself, but don't have a computer at the moment and it's a bit slow to research on my outdated MotoCliq.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
Sent from my CM7 GDeux

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

How can I unroot my G2. Having problems.

Salutations everyone, I've seem to run into a problem in where my Wifi completely stopped working and experiencing a few force closes as well but mostly being that I use Wifi a lot I need this fixed. I am currently running Cyanogenmod 7(7.0.3) if that info even matters and I also have my stock rom on my computer if that helps at all. If anyone could reply back with useful information it would be well appreciated.

Perform a Superwipe+ and install the newest version of CM7, preferably a nightly with good marks.

You don't have to go all the way back to unrooting to fix your problems. Like the other poster said, doing something like a superwipe+ and reflash of a new ROM should easily solve your issue.

Well the reason why I quickly wanted to go the route of unrooting is because I dropped my phone pretty hard(phone is intact still.lol) but it seemed right after the drop my Wifi stopped working so I figured the only way to fix this would be by way of replacement. Anywho, excuse my newbyism but how do I superwipe? Through Clockworkmod? And aren't nightlies not the most stable roms? Thanks in advance..
Sent from my HTC G2 using XDA App

Update, I flashed back to a previous rom(Cyanogenmod 7.0.2) Wifi started working perfectly again then simply download(F'n throtled.lol) 7.0.3 again and flashed all over again and everything works fine. Thanks for the info.

[Q] What ROM do you guys use as your Daily Driver?

[Q] What ROM do you guys use as your Daily Driver?
Also provide the hyperlink to the explanation/download page if you would be so kind for other users.

I'm still running the old Stock GB AT&T Rom, since it has no bugs, is smooth enough for me and doesn't need regular updates.
But as soon as Jellybean becomes Issueless, im sure to update my OS, altough it is its current state no where near a daily driver for me :< .

I use lite rom, is not in the list. is a great rom. I like JB but still i cant use as a daily

Where's CM10.1?

Look in the development forums

I think he meant where was it in the voting list. I presume that is what the (x) after the cm10 entry is meant to mean, though

I have been using cm 10.1 for a month. No issues. Look like a daily driver to me.

Paranoid Android, works like a treat!

I use Literom 0.9.0 ICS as my dd. Sadly None of the JB roms are fully working yet. I use Skype alot & none of them so far work with it.

The rom developers say that the Skype issue is a issue with JB, maybe one of them will do a workaround?

I tinkered with JB and there were some issues with it that didn't make it a DD for me just yet. I think I will end up with a LiteRom style ICS ROM until JB gets ironed out.

Moving back and forth between all these
Dman's CM10.1

CAMP

My CM10.1 build
Lastly all the new builds that i keep trying
So no daily driver for me. I'm thinking of buying another phone to keep it as a daily, people have started complaining about my phone being unreachable most of the times.

running stock ICS till one of the JB roms is 100% working... i flash JB roms every now and then to see progress, but none of them are ready for prime time yet... gettin close though!

You'll probably be waiting a very long time, as jb isn't 100% on any device. Its daily driver ready now. If your talking about Skype, that's not an issue, its an I wish. No one can make it compatible with every app on the market.

Yes, the rom is very fast and stable, but they say that the problem is not only skype, is in all app that makes call over wifi, for me for example, i use magicjack a lot. For a lot of people is ready to use as daily, but for other not for that issue.
But still the rom is great, i try it one day and like it a lot.

i would be happy with 85-90%... wish or not, having something work with atleast the popular apps is something to shoot for... that would be like he i made this rom for you all, you can use all the stock apps, look in the app store, but hey none of them work if you install them... kinda defeats the purpose...
before you start your rant, i can care less if skype works on the phone...

dman, it's not a problem with Skype, it's a problem in the ROM or kernel... if any app has the microphone open, ALL playback is distorted.
If you don't see it as a priority, that's allright, we understand. But this denial is insulting.

Enjoying using dman's JB but gotta take it off later this month when driving more. As a Californian with the handsfree law, without Bluetooth it's too awkward have use as a literal daily "driver" (oh the irony)

I'm on DMAN's UCLH2 ICS as a daily.
Tried a few jelly bean roms. If only there was a JB rom where the blutooth and camera worked I would be happy enough to use it as a daily.

I've been using Dman's PACMAN Rom pretty much since it came out Dec 17. With Covenant Kernel v3 and thegreatergood's work with keyboard lights, everything on my ROM seems to function.
I flashed recently to the new JB LiteKernel (Jan13) and everything is working like a treat. The only reason I left ICS is because I got tired of waiting for GPS to lock.
The only issues I have :
Some apps disappear after reboot, in Titanium backup I choose the option to move the app to internal storage and it stays.
Audio plays back way slow in Google Now, Skype, and RingCentral (roothorick is right, there is an issue in the rom or kernel.)
Takes a few clicks of the power button to get the phone to wake up for me and the screen to turn on.
Physical Keyboard in Browser, can't use any symbols or numbers.. real pain when entering passwords having to use virtual keyboard.
Battery .. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge. When I'm on the ski hill with everything disabled except GPS and AlpineReplay, I get great usage... Maybe its that I have 2 email accounts on Push or wifi is turned on all day long... on my Galaxy Ace, though, I'd get 17 - 20 hours no problem.
- Panoramic Camera works,
- Bluetooth works (and after a reboot I still see my pairings)
- Keyboard lights and bln lights work.
- All keyboard keys work exempt www. and .com which is documented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the apps that disappear have something to do with the storage mounting... everything worked in is when the interal sd was /sdcard and external was /sdcard/external_sdcard .. Though this was in ICS, and I'm not a dev I can't confirm ... but I Just have a feeling.. perhaps bluetooth is in this as well ?
I played with rootbox, but some of the display settings (creating an mms with the phone in landscape I couldn't see the text box).
I've used LiquidSmooth and CAMP but I don't like that the battery stats weren't working.
I had used CM10 beta, liked it before switching to PAC but I really enjoy all the additional features of PACMAN vs. CM10 so ... here I am

Camera saves EXIF date as December 8, 2002

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.

Slow Google Search on CM 10.1 (April 11, Experimental)

I'm running CM 10.1 stable experimental version with Cerux kernel (v1.46) and T989UVMC6 radio. I've noticed that whenever I use Google Now to look up something, it is super slow or won't even search at all. However, if I try searching on my browser it goes through with no problem so it must not be a data connection either (same thing happens on WiFi). I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with this problem.
