Hi ....
Perhaps you can help me and say which rom is the stablest and smoothest and fastest for the LG Optimus 2X P990 ... i have tried a lot of roms but they all have bugs ...
The fastest and stablest for me was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419 and then the 1.5 a version i think but the new version should be fine.
CM7 is also good since it uses less battery but there are some bugs in it still.
I'm a bit of a newbie to the O2X but I've tried a few roms and I've found that the modaco fr15 fear edition is pretty much like stock with a few nice tweaks so it's very stable from what I've seen so far, they've stripped pretty much everything out that you don't need so it's pretty quick too (well very quick).
I've put the over clocking kernel on too and with it over clocked to 1.4 ghz I've got 3976 on Quadrant. But after a while I started to get a few fc's so I put it back down to stock and everything was fine again.
I'm not saying this is what you should do, but I'm just letting you know my experiences with what I've tried so far.....
Also new to this forum. Anyway, I am using Fear r15 and have no problems at all. Very smooth, although I am missing some of my favorite LG Widgets ( Memo and Calendar ) , it is the stability without lags that made me switch to Fear ROM.
I'm on Modaco FR16(beta 4), and it's fast & smooth, and kind to your battery. My only problem is that my Exchange account keeps on disappearing, but it could be my Exchange server.

I'm thinking of going onto this rom cos I have noticed the fast battery drain on fr15... But i have only had the phone for a couple of days and i didn't really get a chance to see what it was like on stock, so I don't know whether its normal.
One thing I did notice was the fact the the music app is constantly running and even my task killer wont stop it. I know I probably dont need a task killer but its habit since I had my G1 many moons ago...
I'm using the CM7 nightlies and am very pleased with them. There are a few bugs and issues to be worked out (eg: no 801.2x support for WiFi), but for the most part, I'm very satisfied.
I only lost 5% in 10 hours with GMail push on .

Thanks a lot. LG Memo and Calendar is up and running.
I'm running CM7 nightly as well. The battery drain is basically non-existence and everything running smoothly. It also has quite a nice collection of customization options. If you can live with a few bugs then it's the rom to go!

Install Battery Calibration, charge to full then calibrate battery
You can also do the same by charging to full then wipe battery stats in recovery.
CM has a full list of APNs if there are some which aren't in use delete them off.
Flash your Radio to 0218, seem to work better than 0405 regarding battery issues. This will be at the expense of some call quality, to me it is worth it.
I am using CM7 at the moment and I have no intention of switching back.
Ive been using CM7 build 20 for some days and there was several things that was missing. It was stabel, but was using a great deal of battery.
So I switched over til BlazingDragon v1.7. This one is working wherey nice. Its based on the stock LG ROM so its only Android 2.2.2. CM7 is ver. 2.3.4.
Now i see that Modaco fr17 is out, but there is so many custom ROM out there so now Im not sure what to.
CM7 is getting better for every built they give out, but its not that good yeat, but Im sure it will be great when RC versjon is ready.
how about WGSPOELSTRA?
Im very happy with the latest madaco. CM is still way to unstable.

Please participate in this poll.
Which is the best ROM & Kernel for N7000 ?
Please describe based on the following ....
a) Battery Drain - Based on usage
b) How many ROMS's have you tried ??
c) What are the issues with Best ROM & Kernel ??
d) You too confused to choose the GB ROM ? Watch the Thread.
I havent personally chosen ICS coz all ROMS are in Beta Stage. I would love AOSP but for Spen Samsung apps.
I like CheckROM personally due to simplicity and Stock ROM stability. But would really love to hear from all you guys.
I have missed Cassie's Xtralite ROM, Rocket GB ROM . Please message me if you like it. Couldn't edit the poll.
LOOKS LIKE IN CUSTOM ROMS CHECKROM AND DARKYROM with Franco Kernel is Leading the Poll.
I'm pretty sure that everyone claiming awesome battery life from such-and-such kernel are just placebo. Maybe they differ a few %, but who'd notice.

I was so confused with GB rom choices that I went for ICS. Do I need to keep watching this thread as well?
I used CheckRom on my SGS II and the wifes and now on the Note. It's stable. Stability is most important. Battery life means nothing to me as I carry an extra battery, keep one at work on a charger as well and charge every night. I want to USE the phone at max updates, Maps on , BT on, GPS on, Email pushing and all updates at Min. Everything runnning.
I am on WiFI 90% of the the phones on time. I don't set the phone to turn WiFi off when screen is off. I listen to the FM radio 5 hours a day and Still get over 12 hours before the warning. PLENTY Good enough battery life. I don;t play games or watch movies unless plugged up to a Power supply. Only on cross country flights do I carry the two extra batteries.
I am running CF Root Kernel. See too many issues with new releases of others (except SpeedMod which is a great kernel but I don't really need it).
Looking forward to OFFICIAL ICS with EVERYTHING working as it should be. Will likely flash CheckRom's version as well. I can wait. I don;t like ICS theme or Touch Wiz and will likely stick with my current theme and GoLAuncher even when on official ICS

What I have found is JKay ICS Domination Theme looks elegant and Less RAM consuming hence fast !
Anyhow I appreciate the fact that CheckROM is really good.
I haven't really tried other ROMS.
May be I am too behind the testers who are on ICS.
But I m just waiting for SPEN support or particularly SPen apps support in AOSP and then I am in for ICS.
CASSIE X for sure. Fast and stable

Hi,
I'm sure there are a few threads about this subject in general(!) but I'll create this anyway!
Im currently on ICS Slim 3.7 (or 3.6? Whatever) + Semaphore. I am pretty happy especially because it is one of my first custom roms without any rnd reboots or stuff like that. But idk .. i'm not sure it fits my likings 100%.
I just want a smooth Rom without any lags when I use apps like: Facebook, Email, Reddit, Browser, News App .. that is pretty much all I need.
Would a GB Rom be the better choise? I used Darky before and was pretty happy (especially about the design) except for some random reboots .. what GB Rom would you suggest if you would?
Thanks, rest0ck
Did u try ics333? It seems stable. I also felt the need to go back to GB, but after I flashed that ROM that feeling disappeared

I can confirm this, ICS333 is quite amazing, very stable and very good battery life however, Facebook sync does not work, which is a Facebook-related problem and (afaik) apparent in every ICS ROM. But the App itself works fine so, if you do not need FB sync, you should definitely try this one!
[Edit:] If you want to stay with GB, perhaps Stock Roms would suffice, especially regarding stability... I'd suggest JVT with midnight or semaphore kernel (the JVT specific ones, of course) or the newest JW5 with semaphore kernel

I did try it but ..well .. not even a minute. I was sure not to lose everything (I flashed from ICS without any wipes) but I did. So I tried to install ICS Slim again, hoping to get my apps etc back. I didn't :<
Only thing I really noticed: Notification toggle bar looks like cm9 - my experience with that were horrible. While on Slim my notification toggle bar looks perfect (only text, simple, ..I like that).

"Stay" with gb is wrong in this case
Thought about a stock Rom too but hm .. well.. they look a lil bit bad. Darky Rom looks so good imo - black with green highlights and good looking icons etc. Perfect imo! I can't install a skin on a stock rom can I?
btw I don't need fb sync
Im thankful for any further response.

Now a lot of people will say ICS is great for them, and i was very keen to grab ICS on my phone at one point. However careful consideration has made me decide otherwise, for the time being anyway.
GB roms, especially ones which are latest builds featuring tweaks and other such performance improvements, tend to perform better in real world use than ICS roms. Perhaps it is due to all SGS ICS roms being ports. Perhaps its a technical thing. I don't know but what i do know is that GB can have better battery life, smoother performance and the ability to play any game with oomph if need be and run any app like a charm.
And there are still functionality bugs i hear of in ICS that i dont have to worry about in GB, and a fix is probably coming, but the bugs arent there on ICS.
Now im not saying ICS can't do this, hey perhaps some roms for some people can do that, but the few benefits ICS brings dont really entice me enough when i have a fast and stable rom on GB.
If you are looking for a fast stable GB rom, I'd suggest Gamerzrom, the dev works wonders and my battery life is great and i can run pretty much any app with aplomb. And with his insane amount of free ram, i have no worries with the few RAM-persistent apps i choose to run

Yes, you can! especially on JVT, there are many "skins", for instance one which makes it look like DarkyRom which itself looks like simple AOSP Gingerbread... do not have a link right now, just search for "JVT AOSP theme" or something like that, I found one once... You might also try UOT kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/)... here you can "cook" your own theme
But DarkyRom is in my opinion still a good choice... I would suggest 10.2.2, it is rocksolid
[Edit:] Anyway, you should _always_ perform a full wipe (wipe/cache/dalvik)... If you do not, you may encounter problems
Heard a lot about Gamerz Rom - maybe I'll try it if I find a nice theme (used theme is pretty ugly imo). Darky 10.2.2 is good? What about the newest version 10.4.2?
Elite 1.2 is a very good ics rom worth checking out. Very fast and good battery life!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I would recommend Dmore's 3.3 too. Good battery back up, no bugs and more importantly; essential ICS features are becoming available as add-ons to GB anyway. S voice, SGS3's Touch Wiz, Ringtone, Wallpaper and others.
Well I tried DarkyRom 10.4.2 cause I already had it on my hdd. And I have to say that I don't really like it. Is this charge-to-100%-bug still exisiting in newer GB Versions? I hate it .. and why can't I download all my apps? I had to download mysms through a browser (the .apk file) cause I wasn't able to install it in the play store?
And which Music Player can I choose to not turn on my display to change a song? (holding Volume Buttons in ICS does the trick). Now im missing ICS ^^ .. except for the look.
Hi!
I recently updated my IS to the newest Android 4 and god, it's slow. There is lag everywhere, I click on a icon and it takes like a second for screen to appear. The previous version was much smoother.
I disabled the animations and it seems to helped a bit, is there anything else I can do? Or just revert to the older version?
Anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Thats a known problem with stock ICS
If you flash a custom rom, generally they are faster
for example I had Ice Cold for a few months, rock solid and super fast
I bought my incredible more than one year ago and I've never thought to unlock and go with custom rom until i got the last OTA. I was so disappointed i flashed Nik's project x almost the same day. You should really consider trying a custom rom. If you like stock appearance you could try android revolution HD i bet it will perform way better than stock ics
Inviato dal mio Incredible S con Tapatalk 2
Thanks for your confirmations!
I'll try a custom ROM then.
As for the appearance I use a custom homepage anyway.
After using CM7 for a while, which was great, I upgraded to IceCold 8.1.1. I found it slow and laggy. Then I updated to Official Stock ICS. Same. I updated the radio to the '11' version. Still the same. Now I am using Ice Cold 8.3. Still the same. I did full wipe, and restored apps with Titanium.
I am very frustrated. I want ICS, but I am thinking of going back to CM7.2. I should be happy with IceCold, but I'm not. Slow, laggy, and lots of 'not responding' messages. Facebook app is the worst - almost unusable.
Any ideas anyone? I have:
IceColdSandwich 8.3 Rossi
4EXT Recovery
Blackrose 2.02 S-OFF
Ice cold is not laggy for me at all
How long have you let the ROM settle before deeming it laggy?
What clock speed for CPU? And maybe try go to recovery and clear both cache an dalvik cache, and make sure to do that after every rom flash if you don't already
Just that most of us are having a smooth nearly flawless ICS experience, hard to think only you are having problems

@jcr67: It's funny how mine is the other way round. I mean I didn't use the stock ROM (or whatever it is called) and installed CM 7.2 as soon as I got my phone because I didn't like the stock UI at all and I had seen CM 7.2 running on DHD with my cousin so I was kinda impressed. I kept using it until I visited my cousin and comparing both the phones (play store, I had a topic on that) was just awful. My play store searching, loading, agreement would take ages. I had been trying lots of ROMs until I came across Ice cream sandwich ROMs and the speeds were great (Virtuous Vivo) but it was the stock UI again which got me bored. I, yesterday, came across a topic by Nathan about Incredible S ROMs and battery life and after reading each and every post, I knew IceColdSandwich is my next ROM or I am selling this ****. Then and now, this is the best ROM I tried till now. No lag, great UI (after theme installation that was in the topic itself, it's become even greater). The only problem I am having is with my battery life. I had this on other ROMs too. So all I can say is that I am more than just satisfied with this ROM.
Try reinstalling the ROM by after running the SuperWipe script (inside the Android Revolution HD ROM topic.)
Sorry for the long post.

Ignore my earlier comments, re IceCold.
I always clear dalvik, wipe etc, when installing. But I repeated this anyway, just to make sure. I let it settle down. It got better. And better. And now I have V6 supercharged it.
It's pretty great now.
Except for the battery life. I'm getting not much more than half a day, without doing much.
Usually I ensure that the following are disabled unless I really want them:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Vibration (keyboard)
- keyboard tones
- USB debugging
Optional: Automatic brightness turned off and set brightness to comfortable level
If you are overclocking it try to use it at usual clock speed. Overclocking consumes more battery.

I started to use custom ROM after upgrade to ICS. Laggy, even.the apps & notification drawer also laggy.
for me the latest ota ics upgrade is quite good, just sometimes i can feel that things just dun get smooth enough, made my mind and tried few custom roms. Most of them are just really gud in term of performances and looks. Now im gud to go with ice cold rom, much better than official rom of course, and on the battery issue, just make sure u turn off anything u dun need when u dun need them
I find ARHD 3.0.1 with V6 Supercharger script properly installed (no KickAssKernelizer cos I want to wait for a custom kernel) and ultrasmooth rosie.apk to be a fairly smooth running experience.
Tip:
I've improved battery life and reduced common running temperature and hence increased performance/stability/speed by simply running GSM only instead of GSM/HSPA unless I'm in a good signal zone and want to browse data quickly. (I'm talking 2G/3G switching in the mobile network settings.. may not be labelled gsm/hspa in some ROMs). This is a good bet, especially when indoors. I live in a basement so signal drops are more steep for the higher frequency 3G signal.
This should be true for any ROM. Anywhere your data browsing is slow to heart-rendingly unusable.. should definitely save battery, reduce temp, and improve text and call reception to switch to GSM only!

My phone does this when battery is critically low, i believe it's just trying to suck the last bit of power.
There's also a bug in early ics which causes weird glitches which disappear after locking / unlocking screen
Maybe it's time for a rom upgrade some nice features in the new jb leaks

Hi the phone is nearly a year old is it time for a new battery?
Hydracore is double safe and is probably the best available custom kernel for the Note.
And as for the battery, It should last more than a year even for extreme users, But... Theres no harm in having a spare one, Especially when you're out and about, you can pick them up for cheap so its worth considering.
Anyway, Switch kernels (and maybe ROMs too if you're interested) and see if it makes things improve

Cool I will try that and report back let's not hope for a brick....
I dont think it will stop after changing the rom... im on jb and still face the issue...
This is already been discussed... its due to low battery level... so ur phone display flickers when ur phone tries to use the remaining amount of energy left...
If ur battery doesnt last longer with each cycle then i think u need to replace ur battery
Triangle away worked great on hydracore thanks. Can any one advise which rom to use for best battery life, and got a replacement Anker battery on the way
for a good stock looking ICS ROM, try CleaNote, its made by the same dev as the hydracore kernel and they work perfectly in harmoney together.
its super smooth, fast, stable and great battery life.
If you want to try JB, id recommend RocketRom v3 or TMT 5.0, Both are excellent with great devs too (RRv3's dev has just left ) they have all the great jb features and are stable, sometimes there is a little lag and the occasional bug, but these are based on leaked firmware so its to be expected.

many thanks will check them out are they all ok to install withe the hydracore kernel?
whats the PARANOIDANDROID rom like?
Yeah, all roms can be used with hydracore except the new Touchwiz jellybean.
Paranoid android is great its definitely worth testing the only thing is u lose spen gestures and apps, but there are alternatives in the market.
