Hi everyone!
Just got the optimus 2x from my brother. Its still in stock rom. May i know from you what's the fastest and most stable custom rom for the phone so that i could give it a try?
Im using miui 2.3.16 + etana kernel with lite battery mod. No issues found.

I vote for this.
but if you don't use any video recording, CM9-Kang by owain already can be used for daily.
it's fast & stable enough if using default config.
I'm pretty happy with what I have in my sig.
However, I would test drive the phone for a couple of weeks if I were you. There have been users reporting very bad battery life that returned the phone and got a much better one.
So personally I would test-drive every functionality of the phone: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc and make sure everything is working fine before going for "warranty voiding activities"

+1
Thats also what i'm using right now, also with ironkrnL (80 uv-log-su-rld), Chainfire3D and my own sd-fix. But in cause of the missing hw acc, i posted the cm7 variant
+1 for cm7 kang by temasek (with stock kernel).
I dont see anyone talking about one of the best ROMs with all custom like features with excellent smoothness and best performance....Django ROM with Stefan's or Spica's Kernel....it virtually flies...
try it man....you will know
Anybody can give me the link for iron kernel for cm7. Thank u

watch the flag system!
You have to change the filename before flashing, i recommend to NOT use "jrnl"!
And never flash it with touch-cwm, it would kill your system/data partitions.

What is the difference between etena kernel? which one has longest battery time ?
To me hei1125 does an awesome work with ICS (CM9). His rom is called Nova HD Plus.

i never used etana kernel yet, so i can't tell.
i just know that "setiron" (the dev of ironkrnL) defo knows what he does.
I use MIUI, perfect look and very fast ROM, but you loose your FM-radio.
Good support- every Weekend a new update.
1st choice!

I guess question was about fastest and most stable ROM, not about "stable and fast enough". ICS on P990 is highly unstable for now. I'm using ICS for daily use and i don't complain, but there's always something that isn't working as it suppouse to. So at this moment CM7 isn't only more stable then ICS, it's faster too. Android 4.0 doeasn't even have hw acceleration yet.

Agreed, at this moment CM7 is much more stable and also faster, i tried CM9 but some apps didn't work and sometimes the phone was getting slow all of the sudden not to mention the browser was always crashing, im using CM7 now and its so fast and stable
You can use CM7 and see it flying, but without some of the phone features, like video call (I'm not talking about Skype or viber, just the native one), smart share, divx, hdmi video resize... Or you can try one of stock roms with the great kernels from here and have a full phone.

Thanks for all the replies. Will try out soon. Also, I have noticed that the battery life for the optimus 2x is so bad! With stock froyo last night, after just about 2hrs of some wifi and games, the battery has already gone down to 15%!!! That's how bad it is!
Is this normal? Should I return the phone to the store?
Also, will the gingerbread update and/or custom rom flashing bring about better life for the battery?

DjangoManouche 1.1 is highly recommended with V20q baseband and HP SR3R2 Kernel. After trying out many stock variants, Modaco ROMS, Thanatos and CM ROMS, I finally settled on this one as it has resolved all the issues I had with the phone and gives good battery and network performance.
Hi
I know there is no official ICS ROM but i know that people have ported it off other devises so it works on the s+,
I was wondering...
A) is it worth it e.g. are they stable and fast
And B) which is the best, again most stable and fast.
Thanks
As far as I know there are only two stable ics roms - arco's cyanogenmod 9 port and miui v4 which i havent tried, but its based on cm9, so they should have the same bugs. I'm currently using cm9, and its ok for everyday use.
Here are the links:

Thanks all!
but i was on a s3, and i was wondering is there a port of that because that is slick and has s-talk!!
thanks
P.S. by the looks of it cmod looks the best but was is up with the camera??
Someone must know of an ICS i9000 ROM that supports wifi tethering?!
Update
I have tried a lot of Custom ROMS. I found CM9 Acro the best. Now even Camera is working fine (Front, Back and Video recording @ lower resolution).
MUIU v4 is good, similar to IOS. Lot of bugs. (best part they are reducing everyday).
Paranoid Andriod Ecsatcy is a Tablet like Rom. Can try for a completely different feel.
RemICS is also good with Apex launcher. Need some small fixes though.
Ehndroix is again a good one. Lot of fixes. Can also try it.
Now a days there is lot of work going on so i am happy to see even work progressing on Jelly Bean as well.
hope this helps. Cheers.
I would say the cm9 by arco is the best i've tested.

The best ICS Rom?
In my opinion cyanogenmod 9 is the best ICS Rom and there is a offical "stable" version! I tried the nightly builts for 3 months and had no problems.
Now I'm on cm10 and im missing the stability of cm9.
Hey guys, just out of curiosity, will we ever get Jellybean ported to the Captivate? If so how long does this process normally take?
Sorry I have no idea how these things work, not being impatient, just wondering.
Thanks
If you want it that bad, the TAJB port for I9000 works fine on our phone with the latest Devil Kernel
It's a slightly long process to get everything(SMS+phone) to work
1: clear dalvik, normal cache, and wipe data
2: flash TAJB .45
3: flash devil Kernel
4: search through thread and flash test modem for phone calls and SMS
5: place the audio_policy.conf from the nexus s port into the system/etc/ folder
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
There's another thread discussing Jelly Bean for Captivate. You might want to check that one. It doesn't have any firm timeframes for any of the ROMs to release a 4.1 version, but it does confirm that they're working on it.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775373, it works fine for me. Only things that do not work - Camera and Sound notifications. Otherwise, it is pretty awesome. :laugh:

oh , I install cm10 v2 is working good
Just flashed it using the directions posted.
Can't seem to get my Data to connect. Won't save any apn's I add to it to connect. The phone can locate the appropriate Network Operator (CAN Rogers Wireless Inc.), but data will not connect.Also, when I go to the Data Usage tab, it doesn't show a tab that lets you see Data na dWireless usage like it did in ICS.
Any ideas on how to fix?? JellyBean is wicked smooth for such an ealy release and I'd hate to revert back to CM9 (it was not cooperating with my cappy!)

Same here, just installed it last night and it's smoother than any rom I've EVER used! That project butter google built for jb is crazy smooth
Funny thing guys, Project butter hasn't been incorporated into the kernels yet. The v-sync and timings have to be messed with. So if you think it's smooth now, wait until project butter is actually running

That's ridiculous. I noticed an amazing jump in smoothness from the latest CM9 nightly to the V2 of the Jelly Bean ROM and if it's only gonna get better, I can't wait to see how fast it gets. Still very, very minor bugs that barely affect functionality at all, but man is it fast!
ya i noticed it was crazy smooth as well. but couldn't live w/o camera. so i went back to remics-ux. which is almost identically smooth imo. cant wait util we actually get project butter and a fully functional jb rom

You ought to relook the JB ROMs. I'm using DerTeufel's, and haven't had any problems with any component in the last three releases.
cbalt and dave have stripped down versions of DerTeufel's port, and by all reports, they're worth of being your daily driver, too.

Seriously as soon as the orignal cm10 builds launched I started using them. They are as pure android as you will get.
Running pengus's cm10 for the new bootloader seems to be perfectly bug free apart from HDMI but i use mine as a phone.
They have ported the ics camera to this a s well so no more half built cm camera.
No call bug.
I could go on all day.
The Stock-ICS-ROM is pretty "clean", too ... they learned from their mistakes with putting way too much junk into the GB-stock-roms.
Although there are some bugs in the official Stock-ROM. At some phones, it works fine, but on others, like mine, random-reboots occur, and the phone sometimes BSODs when plugged in any Powersource, no matter if stock-loader or USB.
Things did not get better with flashing DjangoManouche X1.2.1, although this rom is pretty fast, especially when combined with pengus77's Kowalski-kernel
I switched to ParanoidAndroid just yesterday, and I have to say it works pretty nice too ... It also uses the fantastic kowalski-kernel, and is stable as far as i can tell by now.
Edit: PA 2.5 is CM10-based, and thus JellyBean ... but it is an advantage!

A ROM without bugs?! Hah! It's right next to the pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow (just to the left of the unicorn).
Marvel 11 is highly configurable, with a few (minor) quirks. I'm thinking that v12 is coming soon, at least that's what the tea leaves are reading. There were a couple of scripting issues, mainly with boot animations (you don't necessarily get the one you ask for).
I played with IZS, but I really appreciate the AROMA installer that Marvel uses.

A different recommendation in almost every reply... Will throw my two cents in.
Currently running Mackay ROM v2.7.6 (JB 4.2.2). Works great in general but has a few of the common snags as all the JB 4.X.X roms. Camera issues, bluetooth is mute and any apps installed tot he SD card get uninstalled on every reboot (solution is to install to internal memory) are the only main things. I'm looking for something a little more stable and need bluetooth to operate properly for work when I'm driving.
I'm about to try Marvel ROM v11 (ICS 4.0.4) today. Will post up later and share my thoughts.

You should go for IZS, but Marvel is also a great ROM
Zeus 7.06
I also would recommend zeus 7.06.Best battery,fastest,most stable ROM (for me anyway). :good:
Also,flashing the latest Diana kernel is easy:just flash it from CWM with "install zip from SD" option.
Good luck!
I'm happy with the jellybam 6.7.0 rom.. Only bug i can find is that the dolphin browser wont start.. Everything else works fine..
Just installed Marvel v11 and WOW!!! It's awesome!
The level of customization is almost overwhelming, (but that's ok because I like lots of options...lol). It runs fast, smooth, stable, looks great and only a few minor issues thus far, but I believe these issues have solutions (I just have to sift through all the posts to find the answers...).
Im really enjoying SlimBean, its thin, the camera works on a great quality, no chipmuk voice, the video recorder works fine and all on jelly bean. After test ICS and JellyBean, i will never back to ICS. Dont know why, but seems lightier than other versions of android. :cyclops:

You're saying the camera in Slim ROM works well? Is video recording smooth and not jumpy (low frame rate or high)?
Also, do you know if bluetooth works properly (not mute)?

SlimRoms is the JB which has a better battery consumption. If you are looking for fluency and long battery life the supressed V7 is fantastic.
