Ok i keep getting nagged to update my g2 I am permrooted using the no adb gfree method. So i have s-off supercid and all that. I want to manually flash a pre-rooted GB rom but I'm hoping for a stock rom with minimal changes. The one exception is I want to be able to overclock, I've been looking everywhere but there are too many options without the specific changes and builds outlined. Just a little confused and looking for advice on a rom that will fit what I'm looking for. I'm happy with the stock feel just want to overclock basically. Any ideas?
BOO! no one has any recommendations?
Xboarder56's stock 2.3 + enhancements can be overclocked and is pretty much just stock AOSP.

Sorry I'm new to some of this lol, but its that off the new ota build? Also does it make a difference? I have a stock rooted rom dvds it works great but I want the option of over clocking just because I can't help myself plus its awesome. I have pretty much every thing I own overclocked lol. free power is epic

CM7 and xboarder56's are both based on AOSP 2.3.5, the latest android release. There's no need for them to be based off of the OTA build because they've been compiled from AOSP source (and been around before the OTA was even a thought). For this reason we've had things like CM7 2.3 ROMs since January on the G2. Nearly every ROM in the dev section will have custom kernels that allow overclocking, though (except the bone stock pre-rooted OTA Builds, they're pretty much stuck atm).

Find the radio thread in the dev section. I recommend flashing the radio intended for the T-mobile 2.3 OTA.
is that radio Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 ? Also, I flashed the bone stock pre rooted. My thing was I wanted to keep the stock look for now. Just to keep it simple, plus I like it. I will probably flash virtuous when they come out with a new update.

Yes thats the T-Mo US OTA radio.
ROMs like CM7 and other AOSP ones are very close to stock. The G2 ships (and OTAs) with an almost stock ROM, so anything built from AOSP will be very similar.
Something like CM7 will be much quicker and efficient with tons of extra improvements, but look very similar.

As my title says I am inquiring how to get from stock rooted 2.2 to rooted 2.3. I have searched for quite a few hours but all I seem to find is dead links and a bunch of instructions that say "must have 2.3.3 already installed." I mainly want to go to gingerbread to utilize the custom roms. Seeing as there seems to be no sweet froyo roms for the phone. I had a droid 1 for a while and really liked sorcery rom, but alas no such thing for the D2. All I'm looking for is a straight answer or link or link to how to get GB. Thanks for any help.
To get Gingerbread would require flashing a ROM that has it, since you can't flash a kernel. Your best bet is CM7 if you want that stock feel but I would recommend Miui since it is a lot more polished and is basically a whole new, fresh redesign of the system.

So, what your saying is that if I flash CM7 I can then Flash roms such as apex or ZS that require you to already have GB? Also, I see that you have an DInc, those are much easier to deal with aren't they? I really doubt I'll be using MIUI, I tried it multiple times on my DInc that I had(sold it b/c of the horrendous batt. life, even after rom/kernal) and I honestly don't like it, I also don't like CM very much but I guess if i have to flash that then another I guess that is what I'll do.
Miui is great once you install a launcher. It gives it more of that Android feel. The newest builds have been very polished and smooth. It has been great on the battery life too.
Yeah, the Inc is easier because it is unlocked (an thus you can change kernels). With the the Droid 2 you have to rely on the ROMS to update your system. It can be hit and miss depending on the ROM.
Yeah, usually most people flash CM7 before flashing any other ROM. I didn't have too for Miui though.
Edit: I was reading this. You can just flash the GB leak before flashing your ROM. You don't need to Flash CM7.

Ok, well, that was quite a debacle. I wish it would have been more clear that if you haven't updated to the unrooted GB leak that you just flash the rootBG leak and its all good. Nope, i flashed the unrooted leak and then took hours to find out why nothing worked then hours to sbf. Incase anyone is wondering, sbf doesn't work for beans on parallels mac, or on win7 in bootcamp. I had to use my dads dino XPS to get back to stock then flash the correct file. Half a day later I'm on zombie stomp, saw a lot of good things about it, esp battery life and thats what I'm after, battery life and just enough performance where it doesn't hang all the time. Ok, now, how in the world can I get wireless tether to work? I cant seem to find the how to on how to enable it on gb roms. Its not super important but it sure is handy in a pinch. BTW, not blaming you for my ignorance of GB install and thanks for the links
Your welcome. I get so much help from this forum that it's only fair that I give some back. It's kind of a learning experience for me when I do. Thus I try to help whenever I can.
As for tethering, I really have no idea. I've been meaning to test out the built in tethering feature on Miui. I am sure there are tethering apps you can use, though.

Yah, there is wireless tether, but it does not work. I know on htc you had to get a compatible kernel. But since motos is locked im not sure on the work around. Its a shame htc has such nice phones but such small batteries.
I just flashed my G2 with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143
I'm rooted S-Off, and I just came from bone stock factory 2.2.
I overclocked my phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681
And all worked fine until I flashed the 2.3 ROM.
I adb pushed both .ko files to test them out, and I keep getting this error in my terminal emulator: "insmod: init_module '/data/local/vision_oc.ko' failed (Exec format error)" I'm running the command as su, obviously. I don't see why flashing a new ROM would effect my ability to overclock without replacing the stock kernels...
You're trying to put a kernel on there made for the 2.2 ROM.
You're running a 2.3 ROM. Right now there are no custom kernels to overclock that ROM that don't also break other things on the phone.
If you want 2.3.4+ and overclocking, look into one of the other custom ROMs made from AOSP (like CM7) that come with custom overclockable kernels from the start, or have overclockable kernels available for them.
So is CM7 stable for the G2? Meaning that everything works (WiFi, GPS, video playback, etc.)?
Because right now this bone stock 2.3 ROM I'm running is seamless, I'm not really a tinkerer, I just want things to work.

CM7 is extremely stable. Its been in a stable state for a long long long time. And has more features than stock with better performance and battery use. I flash nightlies and its more stable than some ROMs out there.
Just make a nandroid backup of your current ROM. You can always go back...
What about g-lite?

+1 for glite. Pretty much stock with an Oc daemon. I love the awesome battery life as well

yea I've been meaning to try it got the stock prerooted now, just have to get tired of it lol.
you can use setcpu and set 8X55 can use 1ghz
You can also use cm7 with the stock kernel and OC your phone to 1ghz easily.
Cm7 is very stable btw - ive found nothing which is not working.

Hey gang.
I'm waiting on my DZ arriving, looks like tomorrow now, and I have tried many roms with my current phone but I always end up going back to sense as I like it. The more I read about the DZ and the different roms, the more I'm thinking that I might not bother with roms and keep the stock.
Battery life is important to me however and the saving grace on my current phone has been setcpu. Obviously I'd need to root the DZ it to use it. I'm not too bothered with overclocking it really, however I do like to underclock it when the screen is off etc.
My question is, I know that you can only overclock on some kernels/roms that support it. But is it the same case with underclocking it? Or should I be able to underclock fine on stock?
Of course u need root. But u can use the stock rom with root than flash it with a kernel that u can under/overclock.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
Can you recommend a kernel that will work ok with stock then?
A custom kernel may have different or more underclock stepping choices, but the stock kernel should underclock just fine once you are rooted.
Are DZ's shipping with Gingerbread nowadays? Kernel is dependent on Sense versus AOSP, and also Froyo versus Gingerbread. Godspeed kernel worked fine when I was on the DZ stock Froyo ROM.

Just use Search type in "Kernel" than u get all kernel Threads. I tried many kernels but now im using ILWT Kernel CM7 1.7.0 =)

It hasn't arrived yet, it's advertised as Froyo but we'll find out in the next few days.
As long as the stock kernel underclocks fine, as I said, I don't care about overclocking. If it doesn't work right then I'll get to custom romming it.
So, I gave my girlfriend my DInc last year when I got a new phone. Put a fresh install of CM7.1 on it and it's been running well since then. Well, I'm trying to breath some new life into it, but I've been completely out of touch with DInc ROMs for over a year now and I am lost.
What is the most stable ROM available for the DInc at this point? I'd like to put JB on the phone, but ICS would be fine.
Will I need to update the bootloader? Radio? Newest recovery?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm so far behind I am at a loss reading through everything in the development section. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. ROM? Tiny's CM10 (formerly Pons's CM10) is arguably the best and most actively maintained, and even the latest CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1) is a very stable ROM. If you care about recording videos you're better off sticking with GB, otherwise, JB is as stable as ICS. Evervolv JB also is a good Android 4.2 ROM.
2. Radio? The latest radio (2.15.10.12.20) seems to be the preferred one, cmlusco has a thread about it on here somewhere.
3. Bootloader? HBOOT 1.07 is the latest, and if you unlock it through htcdev it adds some extra features like flashing things through fastboot.
4. Recovery? CWM is still perfectly fine, but TWRP has been gaining a lot of traction lately and is very nice. Installing it can be a bit troublesome, it's best installed using fastboot and an unlocked HBOOT 1.02 or 1.07.
You do not need to update the radio, bootloader, or recovery to put JB on it though. You can just flash the ROM (full wipe if coming from CM 7.1 of course) and all should be well.

I think you meant to say the only reason you havent upgraded - in which case, me too! I've found Tiny's latest CM10.1 nightly (01/26/2013) to be stable. Everything is working for me (GPS, camera, wifi, etc) with the exception of video, automatic brightness, and the preview is occasionally glitchy when taking pictures. The glitchy preview problem can be solved by using something like camera360. Unfortunately, there are no solutions for the automatic brightness and video problems that I know of at the moment...
Stability...your pretty much on it Anything based off 2.3.x will be your best bet in my opinion. GB is rock solid. While its nice to have updated software it comes at a price/missing features etc... It doesn't hurt to try out different roms but i feel in the end you will stay on GB. I switched off the rom in my sig back to Bugless 2.3.7 GB incredikernal EXT4 mod. Haven't looked back.
Latest Radio is in my sig.
What ROM's are people running on their Verizon LG V20? Im getting ready to root mine and go through that process. Looking over the ROM's though and they seem to be lacking. Back in the day we had tons of options, now we have a handful on XDA. Are there ROM's people are running that arent listed?
Using the LineageOS weekly builds and they've been pretty good. Mostly just missing out on the second screen though.

That's true for anything. Just going out on a limb here, I'm guessing since we are in the LG V20 forum its safe to assume we are using that device.
Next time come prepared with proof of your claim. With no proof and bold claims you sound like a fool.

The Verizon build of not so stock is probably what you're looking for. Stock based so everything works minus all the bloat. Has static at boot, search some of the other kernels, there is a few that fix static at boot.
