[Q] Will G2 and MT4G be able to share ROMs like G1 and MT3G?

This is probably a stupid question but I was just curious. I know the rooting procedure is nearly identical for both so I thought I would ask.
With my MT3G I would often look through the G1 section for ROMs, wondering if it will be the same way here?

Most of the roms in the magic forum were geared toward 32a anyway, but i don't anticipate that being an issue with mt4g. Let's see what happens.

Please post questions in Q&A section. Thanks

in that case can we go even further to ask if the the kernels for overclocking the g2 will work with the mt4g?..

But dude seriously, how fast do you need it to go?! I can run Navi, Pandora, messaging, voice search, etc., all at once and it still doesn't lag. Wtf are you doing with your phone?

I dont think we will be able to do this because we have two different processors.

I was under the impression that it was the same processor, just downclocked in the G2? Apparently not.

lol, yup. I overclock the **** out of my mt3g, but that's because it desperately needs it. Just flashed ezterry's 614 kernel the other night, and wow, what an improvement. It's still slow, but not nearly as bad as it was.
Once I have a clean version of Android on the mt4g (CM6 or anything without sense) I can't imagine I'll ever need to overclock.

That's true. When I first OC'd my mt3g to 245-528, it ran much faster and battery life actually improved significantly. Why in the HELL they didn't set it that way from the factory is beyond me.

[Q] Which ROM do I pick?

I haven't updated my ROM in a while, mainly because I don't have the time to. I was running Baked Snack 1.9, but now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
There are tons of ROMS in the development forum, and I'm not sure which one to pick. I'm not really concerned with how a ROM looks, since I'm going to load LauncherPro on there anyway.
So, here are the requirements that I have:
- Running Gingerbread
- 4G, GPS, both cameras supported
- Good battery life
- HDMI mirroring
- No FPS limit
- Preferably can run CIFS Manager
Is there anything else that I should be looking for??
Thanks in advance!

no problem follow install instructions here on this page...hdmi mirroring (via a app on the market called hdmwin its free) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802

FFS people do some research test a few roms and pick the one you like the best

we don't all have the time for that. i could easily spend hours researching and trying them out, which is all time that my phone is half functional, but there are higher priorities on my plate.

OFFICIALLY CM7 says it supports 4G.
However, my experience with CM7 WiMax has been shoddy at best. If you move from a 4G area to a non-4G area then back, most of the time the 4G breaks and you must reboot your phone to reconnect. Even if you stay in a 4G area, sometimes the 4G simply drops out, and you are stuck with both 4G and 3G icons on the screen, once again having to reboot to restore the 4G. There are some work-arounds, but it's definitely not stable, even in RC3. Don't even get me started on trying to wireless tether via 4G on CM7, even if you are lucky enough to get it to connect, you get about 2-3Mbits down whereas on Sense with Wireless Tether for Root Users you get 5-6 Mbits down.
Very annoying.
Anyway, I've given up on CM until the 4G issues are ironed out. I'm not paying an extra $10 a month for 4G if it's not stable enough to use.
My recommendation is to hop over to a MikFroyo ROM. It's as stable an fast as I've seen with everything working. You can apply themes and mods to get the Gingerbread look you want while you wait with the rest of us for the EVO to get official 2.3 support.
Good luck and hope this helped!

there are tons of reasons to root, as you probably know. i would like to use CIFS manager, tether, and use HDMI mirroring.
i was not aware that the stock rom now has unlocked FPS, but this was why i went to a non-stock rom in the first place. but now that i've gone to non-stock, i find that they are faster and have better battery life than stock.

Very tru they are way better with way more options. Idk wat the cifs is. But as far as tether goes there is pda-net for stock. But imho half the fun of rooting is trying all the roms from all the fabulous devs here on xda. It really doesn't take to long to see if a particular Rom is for u. Especially if u have TB. Then if a Rom isn't for u just nand restore to ur old Rom and in my experience its about 20 mins to try it and restore if its not for you. Plus everyone will have their own opinion about a Rom so in order for u to kno which one is for u u gotta try it

I gotta stick up for the OP here a little bit. He's asking for our help, and that's not a helpful comment to ask him "Why root?"
Not having to pay $30 to tether your EVO to a PC was reason enough for me. Or to overclock. Or to theme it to the max. There are many reasons to root.
This is a community for people who want to make the most of their phones. That is why we root.
Please don't come to XDA and ask "Hurr durr why did you root if you're not gonna blah, blah."
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, amirite?

Now I'm not trying to be rude. I see this same q on here all the time and ppl usually give their opinion about the Rom they like. Then proceed to say they need to try them to find the one they like. And op is saying he doesn't have time to do that. It's just odd to me that ppl go and root their phone then ask for others to tell them wat the best Rom is. And that's a subjective term. I agree that paying for tethering and all the other charges are bs but honestly if ur gonna root its cool to ask for ppls opinions about the "best" Rom but if u don't have time to try them y bother. So somebody says so and so Rom is the best then he trys it and hates it so y not just try them urself. Usually the op for the roms will tell u what works and not working

Fair enough, Mohawka. I was a little slow in my last post, and after I had posted I saw that right above me you had continued to bear with the OP and give him your advice anyway.
Sorry if I jumped the gun in assuming you were rude. As you can see, I've been lurking the forums for a few months, but today is my first time posting. I can understand if you get tired of "What's the best ROM?" threads, because you are right, the "best" ROM doesn't exist, only the best ROM for YOU.

Ya no worries. I lurked for a while too. Now I post rarely trying to help when I can but I'm just a guy loving all the devs great work. And if u want a custom Rom u should c which one u like. Nobody can tell u which Rom will b best for you. Unless u can't think/decide was best for you

Two roms you must try..
First is miui. It is amazing and I gurantee you will love it. Second is destroyer v2. Its based off of cm7 and excepy for some minor quirks, mosy of which have fixes, its a great rom.

Maybe becausae on the first page of this particular forum alone are 4, FOUR threads all asking the same question.

Just installed GingerBlur, some questions..

What are the benefits over the stock OS? I don't see anything new, and switching in between home screens is glitchier. I am running 1.8.3. Also wondering where the webtop option is? It's not coming up when I plug it in, nor am I finding it in the app drawer.

Well.... i don't believe GingerBlur is a different OS. As far as i'm aware, because of the locked bootloader, that's kind of impossible at this point. I believe GingerBlur is basically just an extremely modified version of the stock OS to make it look as much like Gingerbread as it can.

Well I completely understand that, but what is the rave about? My friend told em to keep getting it, and people seem to love it on here, so I figured why not? However I am not seeing anything different, just a glitchy ass homescreen, my webtop mod isn't working, and my contact pictures aren't in my text messages LOL.

First of all, please don't shove words in my mouth. I am thankful for GingerBlur, and whoever is making it is doing a really great job, I am just wondering why my home screens are really running like crap. There is nothing wrong with it. I understand it's still in beta, I am just wondering if it's my phone doing it, that's why I posted here in the first place and wondering if it's normal.

It's a bit glitchier than normal. Like they aren't as "smooth" as they are on stock when flicking left and right to switch between the home screens. Also the webtop hack was installed before installing gingerblur, and it said it was included in the 3.1 update. I just don't see that option when connecting HDMI.

nvm reinstalled the webtop hack, working great however the homescreen shouldn't be lagging the way it is. I am uploading a video, it's not showing how slow it is though through the video. maybe I flashed something wrong in my phone.. i just rooted from stock without wiping anything, and updated to gingerblur. i keep seeing steps to flashing to gingerblur and reflashing the sfb first.. , but i didnt do that, maybe thats the cause of my "laggyness"?
UPDATE (Video with lag, it really looks smooth in this video for some reason, it's really only half that)

Just another rom, just one with some serious eye candy. 2 things really turn me off of this rom. Its closed source nature (you never know what kind of **** is in there), and the fact it is chinese (which gives me serious doubts about the security of it).
Its slick looking tho.

Yes, it's an AOSP-based rom.

its like Android + Iphone + CIQ + Nike + Great Fire Wall of China

Yeah, I had heard it was chinese, which kind of turned me off to the idea. But other than that, just another aosp rom huh? I just don't understand why people go crazy over it. I've seen what it looks like...nothing special really. Thanks for the info though.

I ran it on my old evo, wasn't impressed.
It removes the app draw and puts every icon on the main screen, you can move them around, but clutters things.
It's themes are a great concept and look great if you're into what's available.
It messaging app sucks cajones, that's my general opinion.

I bet your shoes are made in China. Do you trust them? It's in English and has no spyware, or CIQ. The port for this phone however has several key features missing and no offense to the devs, it isn't quite ready for daily use. No builds have 4G. Epic's has unstable 3G, WiFi, GPS, and camera. The Devs are working hard though and trying to give us something to use.

Well el_venga I will await the rom you are building. Dont dis peoples free dev work on a dev site. If you want something then learn to do it. This isnt what this site is about. Whining about something gets you nowhere. This site is a place for you to learn how to do stuff yourself. It seems more and more people are coming here to "pimp" their phone.

I think this feature is kinda complicated to port, since you need to mess up a lot of things in framework (I mean, I don't think it's possible in an easy way like porting to stock without messing up a lot of things).
For example, I like the lockscreen from S3, but lockscreen is something terrible to do inside the framework in this case (yes, I've already tried to port, even for galaxy nexus).

There are 2 Dual Screen apps in Google Play that work well.

Can you tell me the name?

im not whining. its a fact. i gave my opinion about the rom cause i tested it and it has bugs. other users in the same section said it also and we are just waiting. i mentioned the waste of time cause of depositefiles, not the rom. i have 2mbps connection at work and it was WAY lower than 256kbps. i test a lot of roms for my devices and i never whine about it. dont judge me for a misunderstanding. i apoligize if i offended you in anyway.
btw i am a programmer, not of this kind of software, but i am, and i know what it takes to do what devs do. have a nice day.

I apologize as well. Lately on my phomes forum there a lot of new people requesting the hell out of stuff and complainimg about everything. I program too at work.
