... any love here?
Enlighten me - what does that rom do that none of the other current roms for the CDMA TP can do?
I'm running Mighty Rom at the moment, and don't feel like I'm missing much.

pretty much, I've used Scott's VZW TP ROM, which is really fast and Dream Phyre's DREAM ROM which is faster...yet when I seen that YouTube video of how freakin' fast ROMeOS2 was, that was pretty much the reason I bought the TP come to find out I would need an alternative to achieve that crazy speed that he has in his rom, hence me using Scott's and Dream's. Problem seems solved by ROMeOS. Am I just aiming at I brick wall, or is this correct?
Want something fast? Build something on your own or get a bare rom and add what you want on top of it. Try GC's rom, it's pretty bare and then just add one what you want.

When the TB first came out it felt very snappy, very smooth and fairly quick. Rooted it and after some time it just seems to have no hope and I dont know why. I have flashed almost every Rom out there and it seems to work fine for a little bit and then within a week it is back to its VERY laggy performance. When the S3 came out, I got that and my wife wanted my TB. She is getting tired of me playing around with the phone and trying to get a performance fix and just wants a new phone. Should I try to unroot it and run it stock for her? Otherwise she may look at the moto razr M or the inc 4g. (not a phone I would have, but its not up to me)
The phone slowing down may be certain apps impacting performance, so you may want to look into that. Also if you haven't already I would ditch sense based roms and give AOSP a try.

The aosp ICS is snappy but a few things don't work. I haven't tried there sense version but heard good things.
The Gnex is a free upgrade btw

In my opinion, sense based roms are slower & have more lag than than others. It is pretty much up to you, or your wife, to let you know what she wants. I was really looking forward to trying out the newest AOSP 4.0.4 ICS by twistedumbrella. Have you tried this yet? I haven't been able to get past the "bootloop" but it seems that some are & some aren't. I believe you'd love the rom if it works on your TB.
Keep in mind all aosp liquid/twisted builds the video recording does not work. Knowing most women camera and camcorder is a must lol.

This is some good advice for the OP. I recall running a deodexed 2.7 or something a while back that would probably work well for the OP. It is sense based but it was very stable and everything works.

If she's looking for something that is smoother with less lag then stock definitely won't bring her that. If you're able, I'd look into getting a newer phone. The Thunderbolt is at its end of life.

Bought my G2 at opening. First one at store to purchase . This is the bes t phone I've ever had. LG did an excellent job. The only reason I will have to root is to debloat. This is the smoothest and the ui is beautiful. If you were debating don't. I came from the HTC ONE , which was and is a great phone, but this blows me away. Battery so far kills the ONE, which was my only complaint with it

So far I've had a similar experience.
I cannot wait for this to get root, that is my only complaint so far.
The double tap to unlock really makes this phone.
It is a nice phone, but the fact we may not see AOSP is making me reconsider it. I like having the most recent version of Android as well as the stock Android UI, much better than any theme out there. Even the notification shade on stock is so much better. Oh well, have 15 days to return it, if anything new and awesome about the Nexus 5 leaks I may return this.

What makes you think we wont see aosp? Yes it has a locked bootloader but someone usually finds a way. Just wondering if I missed something and we will be stuck like the gs4 guys.

There is no "fact" yet, barely anyone has really gotten their hands on it yet to even start attempting to unlock the bootloader.
We won't really have a good idea for a few more weeks probably.

I'm just worried about CM as the Optimus G for ATT doesn't have official CM builds.

I agree and I bet we will, just worried for the reason I said above, the ATT Optimus G doesn't have official CM.
For anyone else that has one (Verizon model here)
Is it weird for me to say that this is the first time I've bought a new Android phone and didn't really care to change the OS at all, other than wanting to de-bloat it?
I ran CM on all my previous phones, and after using this for a day and all the features the stock OS has, I'm perfectly fine with it.
Maybe I'm getting old

Its better than samsung's touchwiz but I cant stick with it, the mms app notifications are much worse and the stock lcd density makes everything HUGE! I'm running 360 right now but some things like camera are funky.

I run Hyperdrive on both the S3 and S4 and that is mostly Touchwiz. I would be happy just to root this one. I don't need CM or the others for this phone.

Speaking of Hyperdrive, I'm going to try and help sbreen94 get this device. A bounty thread will be open soon.

This phone has enough tweaks that if I have to stay stock with it, I'm ok. Had the HTC One and liked Sense 5 but coming from a Gnex I really wanted vast improvement in battery live. Got that now and then some.

I am totally satisfied with this phone. Always having touchwiz in the past, this ui just kills it. Its been allowing time since I have been happy with a stock UI. already rooted and debloated and I'm happy. Only one gripe so far. Google play music is not sending Bluetooth metadata to my car. I can live with that.

Picked it up today, and love it! The UI is so much better than TW, I don't think I'll even throw a custom launcher on it this time.

I'm in the same boat pretty much. CM while the development team is amazing is overrated IMO. I have a Nexus 4 and I like AOSP, but I don't need anything but root so I clean up the stuff I don't want on the G2. Too many test builds too many bugs, I'm over it.
If I could get back the stock Android browser and UI I would be extremely happy, definitely nice as is though.
I just wonder if this is better than the Note 3. It looks like a great device tho. I had the Optimus G Pro but it felt clunky and the camera was not the greatest. But the screen was amazing!
I am easy to please. I never had issues with TW. I ran both cleanrom and bonestock. TW is fine. This UI is fine. Root and all that jazz is icing but really isn't a huge deal. It's all android to me.

Well, I know that you users will probably hate this kind of post, but I don't know anything about this phone and the roms it has, so to make the long story short, my brother had a SE LWW and gave it to my mom, I just wanted to know a fast and stable rom to install, just that, nothing too fancy, is for a person who doesn't know anything about phones, I think I can take care of the rest.
Thanks you very much in advance.
Well tbh stock ics rom is already fast and stable. Bugless for me, but memory management could be better. For the "moms", stock is quite good
I'd root and put walkman on it (xperia s version runs quite fast on our device, anything newer seem lags). There you have it! My own version of fast and stable rom.

Thanks pal, I just installed stock ICS. Everything seems fine.
Seriously, why? I just don't get how people bear to use it, there are so many custom ROMs with 5.0+. Fresh CM is usable when freshly installed, but after logging in Google Account and installing just few Google apps, it just haaaaaangs on ever task you do. I mean I get it - this phone is almost 5 years old - but I own some older devices like Galaxy S II and it is so much faster on Marshmallow.
Or am I just missing something out? I'm using Safestrap's stock ROM. But when I leave stock and install something CM-based on other slots it's even worse (why?). It's the same memory chip. Or is it?

I think this phone is slow with custom roms for the kind of kernel it has (Kexec), remember this phone never had a chance to unlock his bootloader (as far as I know) and that is probably the reason , I say this because I have an old Galaxy Tab 2 with the same processor and I have it with MM, it's slower but not at the level of the razr

I thought bootloader was unlocked? Been gone for too long...
I find the last one usable to be 4.3, KitKat is not much better than L/M.
