it's been a while since i updated my rom (or been on this forum) and am curious what works best. i am more concerned about everything being buttery smooth than having the latest and greatest from aokp or cm. however if one or the other of those is running well i'd love to do that. so yeah, what are you guys using these days and how is it treating you?

Bump.. I just picked up one of these and am interested in the answer to your question
Been using [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2 )Task650 (3.19.2013) (WIFI ONLY) for a day and everything works even my samsung keyboard dock. Really impressed with it, before that I had Task650 ICS Rom for the longest with everything running smoothly and no crashes. Netflix, Direct TV NFL ticket and others worked with no issues. I don't think you can get the Tasks650 ICS Rom anymore since he only supports his newest releases .

sounds pretty good. thanks for the info.
I've personally always enjoyed Infamous ICS, and the latest CM10.1 builds have been great. Try any of the recent ROMs and see which one fits you the best.
I've been experimenting with a few ROM's lately.
So far, imo, the best has been. CM10 (4.1.2) and Infamous ICS 3.0
Smooth and responsive all around. CM10 is Jelly Bean smooth but doesn't have the Samsung stuff....

The latest I believe is 4.1.2 and I'd recommend EPinter. He is really good about keeping his releases up-to-date. (weekly updates if not multiple updates) I have used his ROM as my daily for a long. Stable as a rock, even without HWA, his rom is smooth and pleasant to use.
Also, I believe most of the Atrix developers and users are concerned with a better kernel than newer releases with broken libs and HWA.
Edit: If all you want are the keyboard and camera from 4.2, they have been ported and work with Epinter's rom.
Keyboard bug
Sorry but 4.2 keyboard hides when longpress erase key :/ i don't know how, but it simply hides like a bug...i will try with otrher lenguajes since i use spanish. do you know if it was actually ported to spinter?

Hi.
Firstly, sorry for my English.
I would like to install ROM with Android upper than 2.1.
But i see, always people write that something doesn't work (ie. camera or wifi).
Are there any newer ROM (2.2 or upper) in which everything is working?
And it would be nice, if the ROM has the Polish language but it isn't necessary.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
It's been a while but I know there are 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs with everything working. Take a look in the development section.
OK, thanks for answer, I'll try to find something interesting. There is so much that it's hard to find.
A few that come to mind are elelinix, villainrom, decked_x by goku (android 2.3 and very nice) , cronos by feeyo (not on xda).
gingerbread 2.3.7 was official
hi! gingerbread was an official update on my t-mobile htc g2. it was completely solid.
fyi- i tried andromadus all the way to jelly bean 4.2.2 (17) and it was just phenomenal. everything worked. but the problem was that it is too quick, and the g2 architecture is outdated and too slow. there would be crashes and so on. but that whole cyanogenmod | flinny | andromadus thing is phenomenal. these people are totally reliable. and make you proud to be a human being
having said all of that. i am here just now to go all the way back down to gingerbread, because even cyanogenmod 7.2 (official release) has turned out to be a bad choice (whatsapp erases, and i need those messages (work) intact.) also, the phone has shut down more times on cm7 than on cm10.
:fingers-crossed:
edit (sep 6, '13)-
actually, i settled on Gen Y Vision X R3. i have used it for a few months. it has been a great experience. i bought an htc one and so, am passing my G2 troubles on to my 10 year old. what an amazing device. a lot of fun. i recommend Gen Y. it was really quite stable.

I think you're in the wrong sub forum. This is for the G2 Touch / Hero.

I've been looking though all different ROM's and still can't see one with a working camera. I'd prefer 4.2.2, but will go with 4.2.1, 4.1.x and even 4.0.x if needed. I just need a stable, FAST build with a working camera.
Thank you in advance.

Seems like developers' interest to G Tablet (and to most of old devices) is cooling down day by day. And we ain't gonna get 4.x with working cameras ever.
I tried lots of ROMs and for everyday use (at work and home) stopped at CyanogenMod7.2.0-RC0 BUILD98 REPACK | GTablet | 2.3.7 GWK74 (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144847 ) with some build.prop tweaks. Not the best ROM ever built, but much better than others. Skype works fine, office software, too, children play some games, bla-bla-bla... The only issue is SOD time to time, mostly after leaving the tab charging for all night long. In the rest - fast and stable enough.
Even when working, the camera itself is so poor that its not really useful for much. However, a hi-def usb webcam works fine with Dirty Bean and gives you a great picture.
Installed CM10.1 Stable, so far so good. I miss the Tablet UI though from whatever previous build I had (it's been a while since I've played with ROMs, probably last December? ) I was actually really surprised to find out CM10.1 stable was available for NT. Been using an old build I was really happy with.
Is there an official or easy way to get the Tablet UI back?

AFAIK CyanogenMod doesn't support it, which is why I've been trying other ROMs that do have the tablet ui (like AOKP). I would certainly be interested in this though too.

Succulent build supports it. He should be making a stable build in the upcoming days.
Hello everyone,
I've been striving looking for a rom that works fine on the P4 but no luck so far.
I want to get rid once for all of the TouchWiz stockrom which is slow as hell and makes me want to throw the tablet against the wall. I've been flashing CM and few others but they are all quite buggy and made me want to go back to TouchWiz and hence increase my frustration.
Which is in your experience the best alternative to TouchWiz? I need something stable, fast, and that works!
Thanks
Davide

I have tested both above but it allways ends up with CM10.1. Its kind of boring rom, or standard, but there is no problem with it.
All KK Roms have graphical problems specially in YouTube in HD. No flow in videos or hangings.

10.1 would be fine, all I need is stability and smoothness and no more flickering on the screen. Which version is it and where can I download it from?
Thank you very much.

I think, i tried most of rom. The best for me (p4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098429
Drop trebuchet, and using nova launcher with this theme is smooth ant stable.
I'm fine with stock and never had problems with it. Best alternative at the moment IMHO is this.
