Hi guys,
I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff. But essentially, I would like to root my phone so I can have added functionality, and upgrade my OS to ice cream sandwich because HTC decided not to include us on the ICS list.
Is there some sort of a definitive guide to do this?
Thanks
Instead of opening useless threads do some research type your question into google surely ull get your answer

Check out the XDA Wiki on the HTC Vision/G2 Phone. They have everything you need to know about rooting and downgrading and even unrooting.

As far as the ICS Rom, you can use which ever one you want. I'm using the CyanogenMod 9 RC2 Unofficial ROM and it works great (camera is fully functional!)

Seemed mimicry would be a better way to start off. *shrug* Course I can't really comment much on that as I've not tried Audacity (and not even sure how it differs from mimicry), only tried mimicry out of the Andromadus releases and that was actually quite smooth and lag-free for me.

When you installed mimicry you likely installed v6 supercharger, which is geared towards multitasking.

You could install 4ext touch recovery and use that, but I believe the recoveries available to use support trackpad up/down in addition to volume navigation, though you might get stuck in the bootloader as I don't believe those keys work there.

with debugging turned on your phone you can reboot to recovery that way, so my guess you will be just fine

I've tried three or four Android ROMs and they all have incredibly loud in-call volume. Hoping one of you guys can recommend a ROM that works properly and fulfills its primary function as a phone. It's frustrating to see so much effort being put into fixing things like blurry MMS and LED notifications when the basic function as a usable phone that doesn't blast your eardrum to smithereens is overlooked.

Thanks!
Odd. Usually people complain about the low in-call volume on phone's. Here is the complete opposite. I would choose loud over too low any time

What ROM/Kernel are you running? Any cases or covers on your phone? When did the problem first start happening?
I'm using the ics beta ROM with it's stock kernal. I have a tpu fusion case which I've always had on my phone with no problems. the calling volume problem started rather recently. I've tried backing up to older roms and the problem Is still there. I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue

Older backups of the ICS beta, or older backups of completely different ROMS? Because given that the ICS ROM is very much still in beta stages, I think it's a safe bet that the problem lies with the ROM if that's the case. But if you're trying different ROMs and the problem persists, I think it unfortunately points to a hardware issue.
Similar Issue
I have a MyTouch 4G with a back and sides only case
I am running creamed glacier 7.1, I have tried it with the bundled kernel as well as the virtuosso ICS beta kernel and the Darkside 13.2 kernel from the creamed glacier thread. I have also tried the test 200 version of creamed glacier.
Sounds from my end come through very quietly; not muted or garbled in anyway just unbearably quiet when I speak normally.
Since multiupload is down, creamed glacier is the only ICS rom I have been able to download and try.
I would like to know which part of a custom rom controls the microphone, and if anyone knows what I should try to fix the problem.
It's a known hardware issue for every ICS rom on this forum. Please read the OP of the ROM's thread when experiencing issues. also for ROM's you can dl them from ROM manager or for Virtuous you can download them from their website (virtuousrom.com)

Assuming you mean the ICS Beta Rom "Creamed Glacier" (They ALL are Beta Stage, By the way) then the kernels included have a mic issue known. On page# 311 of the forum right now, about halfway down, is a link to a kernel that should fix the issue. A few people have tested/confirmed it works. Hope this helps, thank if it does!
EDIT: I meant page 311 of the Creamed Glacier Forum, sorry if that wasn't obvious lol
if you are talking about comb_kernel_WOB.zip, that did not help for me despite working for others. If you're talking about a different kernel, Dwill, I'm not finding it unfortunately.
that's the one I was talking about. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I just noticed it earlier and thought it'd be worth a shot. Sorry it didn't help.
I'm sure the devs will figure it out eventually. I just hope they are paying attention that the suggested kernels are not working for everyone.
I think its kernel related because if you turn call volume up they can hear you a little better, but if call volume is low they cant hardly hear you at all.

Somewhere on xda i read that clicking mute then unmute should fix the problem... give it a try it. i hope it works..
So I'm really thinking about installing cm7 as I'm tired of the sad battery life on the MT4G, however, I'm finding it somewhat difficult to weigh the other pros and cons of switching from stock. There are plenty of threads and videos on how to do this, and plenty that talk about speed, but that doesn't really help answer my questions about functionality unfortunately.
Here's the thing: There are certain things in the stock rom that I don't want to lose in the process and I can't seem to figure out what I will gain and lose by switching.
Here's what I know so far about switching:
- I will have a longer battery life.
- I will lose the genius button functionality, but I can install that separately, so no big deal. I use this for texting handsfree while driving - just connect an audio cable to my stereo.
- The bloat is gone.
Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? Does it look the same? Do I maintain the built in widget sets?
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar?
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad?
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice?

I suggest to move to one of the new non-T-Mobile Sense versions. Sense 3 or 3.5.
You'll retain the functionality that you want, gain some new one, most likely gain battery life, and won't lose the good sides of Sense that you're used to (widgets etc).
In the worst case, it's just a simple trial and error process - you can try different ROMs, and if you decide that stock suited you better than everything - you'll be able to install it, and probably even tweaked and customizable version of it.
I didn't know that there was such a thing. I don't mind losing the ”prettiness” of sense, I just need the functionality to be there.
Any rom names off the top of your head that I can look for?

Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? I don't even get this question. Does it look the same? Different types of Android look different from one another. Sense has its look. TouchWiz has its. Vanilla Android has its. Do I maintain the built in widget sets? If you go with another Sense ROM, then yes, you will most likely have more sense most ROM here now are 3.0 or 3.5.
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar? In most of the aftermarket ROMs, you will gain more quick settings. Read about the ROMs offered here.
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad? Most of the ROMs have incorporated this into the build.
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Apps? Yes. Abilities? Depends on the ROM. Some have a few bugs, others don't. Camera seems to be a big issues on this aftermarket sense ROMs, but there's usually a fix somewhere in the thread for that ROM. Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice? After market ROMs are smoother than stock ROMs and obviously have better battery life as you know. They have much more that you can customize depending on the ROM. After market ROMs are ALWAYS better than stock. So, have fun choosing. Personally, I'm on Core Droid.

Well, I'm still not sure what the whole big deal is about this update for us.
It isn't more beautiful then a custom ROM. Even Sony told us that this isn't as fast as GB.
And their are still a lot of apps that isn't working correctly on 4.0.
I have it for only one reason. That is because I can't stand if someone with the same device have a newer software then me
Edit: I thought we should have the original unlock. But I have still the Sony one.....
It is no way smooth.. Everything works.. But isn't hardware acceleration supposed to increase the smoothness? I don't blame Sony. I blame Google for not fixing hardware acceleration right!

Has anyone tried using apex launcher? It's probably way better than the stock launcher from what I've seen; like ICS but even better
Running official ics(rooted).its excellent. Very quick lag free compared to beta. I have frozen unneeded system apps and deleted bloatware. Very snappy
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
I love it.
I've been running the ICS beta since it was released and the performance of the final release blows it away on my Arc S. Getting it installed via Flashtool was a right PITA though - I thought my device was properly screwed at one point!
The launcher doesn't redraw like the beta did - I think Sony have made some memory tweaks in this area which is very welcome. I also like that they're shipping the official ICS Gallery app (and have renamed the old one 'Xperia Gallery') - the ICS Gallery app is so much faster than the Xperia one.
The ICS browser is in a different league to the GB one. I also love the Task Switcher, swipe notifications, music player controls, data usage monitor, new ICS calendar widget, GMail widget, etc. etc.
But Sony won't be able to please everyone. Some people were expecting the 2012 NXT UI even though Sony never promised it. These people will be disappointed. Personally I can't see what all the fuss is about - I'm sure someone will get the Xperia S music player working on ICS if that's what people want!

Whatever one you use that meets your expectations. There are people here that will run ICS without issues, but state they have issues with Jelly Bean or Gingerbread. It is all a matter of what works for you.
That being said, CM7 based ROMs are your best bet. They are the most developed and mature for the device.

If you find Andromadus Mimicry and CM7.2 too slow, than I’m afraid you need a new phone
Minicry might not be 100% stable, but it is pretty close. I think the ICS (or JB) would not be significantly faster even with official HTC kernel (without hacks).
You can overclock your phone and try different governors. This way you can improve the “smoothness” at a cost of battery life. Also be sure you are running ext4 filesystem. And a fast SD card may help too, check if it is at least class 8.
Mimicry flies for me at 1.5ghz
Andromadus test builds with JellyBean are the fastest of all I've tested so far (cm7.*, cm9.*, MIUI, stock sense ROMs etc.). There are some bugs however (in latest build - #71 - for example camera stopped working), but speed, smoothness, and all JB-related-features of this ROM are really outstanding. I believe, that all annoying bugs will be smashed really soon and my G2 will last until new nexus comes out.

Both of them tend to have some VERY slow slowdown periods, where I have to take out the battery, just to get It responsive.
When I try to overclock it, anything higher than about 1209 (with smartass governor) gives me a bootloop.

Sense beyond 2.1/3.5(gingerbread) generally speaking is too much bloat for desirez/g2, sense 4.0A would be fine cept its been worsen and slowed down with the 3.0 kernel for sake of a working camera. The full sense 4.0 they took the kernel from is slow to the point of practically unusable on our devices.

Jelly bean still has a bit of work to put into, but there are plenty of fast ICS roms (non-sense) out there with "functional" camera app (post-gb its mainly the camera people complain about)
I've found for me, ICS to be quicker/smoother than stock or CM7.2.
Regarding apps (while I don't condone piracy) titanium backup would be the solution, assuming said apps are compatible with ICS.

PS: "CM9" by Jerl is not CM9 Official (ie: it didn't come from the cyanogenmod people), it's just bout the same (if not worse in my opinion) than Mimicry which is based off Andromadus which is based off Cyanogenmod 9's source. Though if you do try Jerl's port of it, I strongly advise you not to use the 3.0 kernel, too many problems with it and he apparently didn't bother testing it before releasing it (or least didn't bother to tell people the risk).
Far as google account syncing, it depends on whether or not you made sure to flash google apps afterwards, and if you accidently booted prior to flashing it, then you need to make sure to remove all your accounts on the phone then re-add them as it says in the OP of that thread.
