[Q] [REQUEST] Android 2.3.5 on G2

Hey all,
I've been dying to have a fantastic essentially stock (real) gingerbread ROM for the G2. While the OTA update is pretty good, it still is missing a few key aspects of what gingerbread should be - blinking LED notifications, the CRT screen turning off effect, a bunch of other stuff. I just recently threw android onto my mother's HD2 Leo, and put this ROM on there. Stock, obviously rooted, with a bunch of awesome features that you can see in the link there. It is FANTASTIC. Probably the best ROM I have ever dealt with.
I guess what I am looking for is a Gingerbread AOSP stock that is currently on the Nexus One - (2.3.5 Gingerbread)
I would love to see a rom identical to this on the G2! Does anyone know of a rom available for the G2 like this?
Or, even better, would someone like to help me figure out how to port this ROM to the g2?
Cheers all
- D

You could try CyanogenMod 7.1-RC1, it has all the features you said you wanted. It does use ADW.launcher, but you can install the stock launcher by following the instructions here.

CM is actually pretty good - my issue is that the look, feel, and operation is nothing like stock gingerbread! I really want something like the stock AOSP Gingerbread Nexus One rom.
EDIT - Hey! One hundred posts!

Cm 7.1 isn't 2.3.5. U need to install the latest nightly. Have a new rom to install every morning is not only exciting, u get new features as they are implemented. What are u talking about CM not being like stock ginger? It IS aosp gingerbread. The true android with zero carrier additions or overlays. You must be confused as to what stock ginger is. Also, get rid of adw the second you install ginger. Adw is a piece of garbage that brings CM WAY down. First thing I always do is search gingerbread launcher in the market and install the real stock ginger launcher. Then your experience will be perfect

Ah - I think that adw launcher is what turned me off of it! I'll give it a go there.

Use the stock launcher, and CM7 is exactly what you want.

This. I've been running a stock GB launcher on CM7 for months now. Check the thread in my sig for it.

I used cyanogen's latest nightly (2.3.5) then xboarder56's converter. Works like a charm!

[Q] 2.2.1 Iced Glacier to Rooted 2.3.4 FootBall ROM Help

It's been a while since I have messed with Root on my phone since putting on Iced Glacier 1.6 for 2.2.1 Android for my MyTouch 4G.
So I need a little help or clarification.
Following this post directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175536
I updated to the 2.3.4 ROM and for some reason occasionally get the phone showing the "MyTouch" white screen after exiting an app.
Also get "MySense" failed to load or forceclosed when starting up the phone. I think that is what it says...
I re-installed my apps using Titanium Backup, but I think I am missing a few even though I made a full App and System back up the night before doing any of this new ROM rooting. I also did a "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager.
1: Is Footballs the most basic stable rooted ROM out right now?
Or what is recommended for battery length and smoothness?
2: How does Virtuous Unity compare in stability and speed and battery life compared to other ROMs right now?
I liked Iced Glacier for it's baseness and speed and lack of bloat-ware and I don't change ROMs often. I want one that works and is stable and I want to stick to it.
Not wanting to brick my phone moving to new stuff.
My other big question is:
After installing Footballs Rooted ROM, I still get the 2.3.4 OTA update reminder.
How do I remove that ????
And yes I did a lot of searching before posting this in order to refresh my brain but could not find a precise answer...
So thank you to anyone that can help with these questions and steer me in the right direction.......

I run virtuous unity on one of my my touch 4gas and it is stable and all functions work including tango,,, love the fact there is no bloatware.

It all depends on what you like actually. For a stable rom that you will stick with for awhile that is just like the update to 2.3.4 without the bloat. I would recommend GenerationX v5, its the most up to date rooted/debloated stock version. If you like sense, but not mysense. They Virtuous Unity 1.29 seems to be the favorite stable right now. Keep in mine there are AOSP roms out there like faux's and cm7 that people enjoy as well which are excellent speeds and awesome battery life over stock type roms.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I'm honestly not sure what the difference between Sense and MySense is since I don't keep up with this stuff anymore.
And if I flash one of the ROMs I of course need to make a full wipe and then install. will this erase the homepage icons and need to re-install all my apps again ?
Like i said before i'm not looking for flashy themes, just no issues & good battery life & speedy response when doing things on the phone.
Thanks again for the help....

G2 Hboot Roms?

Can someone recommend me a light, fast rom that does not require migrating to the Desire Z Hboot? Thanks a lot.

Mexdroidmod AIO its fast and looks good
....G2 Running MexDroidMod....

I agree with darkdata, meXdroidMod is one of the fastest and cleanest roms I've ever ran. If it doesn't suit your taste then there is always Bulletproof Miui by tun4fish which is what I've been running lately. It's highly customizable fast and clean. Make a nandroid backup of your current rom and play around with roms to find what suits you best, you can always return to a backup if you don't like them
Sent from my Bulletproof G2

Tun4fish's MIUI, or CM7. Both quick.

I would also recommend either Bulletproof MIUI or CM7. MIUI is for people who like to personalize the user interface; CM7 is faster with more internal customization, but potentially isn't as good-looking.

Ahh, i agree to an extent. For sense, it kinda depends on what you like. Virtuous Unity runs on Sense 3.0. If you ask me, i would tell you to choose the DARKSIDE sense which runs on sense 3.5 and has beats audio. I understand that u are new and everything but i fully suggest that u give a fair share of roms a try. Remember, make a nandroid backup of your faves...expecially of stock, thats very important because its most stable. Here's a quick list of roms that i suggest you try.
STABLE:
MySense (Stock Gingerbread)
MIUI
CM
Virtuous Unity
Virtuous Affinity or the DARKside Sense (both are pretty good and very similar)
Not Stable
Creamed Glacier (I highly recommend this rom)

I definitely will go to Creamed Glacier when it become stable.By the way,why did you recommend me that rom even it is not stable?DARKSIDE have issues or not?
Thanks

CyanogenMod 7 (CM7), extremely stable for me, great battery life, highly compatible with apps. Maybe not as glitzy as sense from stock. I don't really remember what stock was like. It lasted all of 3 weeks or less a bit over a year ago.

Don't bother, he didn't even give the rom a chance. He basically flashed it, looked at it and was like 'no me gusta'

I flashed rooted stock & installed Go launcher ex.I will go to Creamed Glacier when it become stable(camera).Thank you all for your help!

ROM
well, I think that it all depends on your preference. But if I had to choose which ones were the most stable, I would say either Virtuous Unity, CM7, or MIUI. CM7 is stock android, with a bunch of tweaks. Virtuous Unity is a straight-up Sense 3.0 rom, without any tweaks. MIUI is kind of it's own thing, you would have to go look it up. I only use MIUI when I get bored of using android ROMs, because MIUI is so different; it's like your not even running Android

Rom Cleaner or No-Sense++ work on MyTouch?

I want to install Virtuous Affinity 2.0.5.0 (switching from Virtuous Unity 2.39), but also want to install Rom Cleaner or No-Sense++ to remove some Sense bloat while keeping some of the other Sense components (e.x. - camera). Do those scripts work on the MyTouch or is there something similar? Thanks in advance.

I'm running that Rom now, & its pretty straight & debloated already...its really a good Rom.

ROM Cleaner and No-Sense++ originally came from the idea of slimming down the well known popular Android Revolution HD ROM.
But the scripts should work universally for all Sense 3.x ROMs. i checked the script, and all it does really is remove and add apps and stuff in.
So, yes, it should work on Virtuous Affinity...

Thanks. I guess I'll try with and without the scripts to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the quick and helpful responses.

Does Rom Cleaner only work by using it right after you flash the Rom? I'm using the Android Revolution Rom Sense 3.5 and the only thing I wanted to get rid of would be some of the widgets

Hey guys just found this thread by accident.
If you have questions about ROM Cleaner we have "a" thread for that. (links in sig.)
Please feel free to ask anything.
If you get any problems we will most likely be able to help you...
No-sense++ hasn't been updated since early stage of Sense 3.0 and No-sense is a different thing compared to ROM Cleaner made by me and my team.
