In order to get this build up and running on your G2X there are few hoops you need to jump, but that doesn’t mean that they necessarily hard. First, you need to have flashed ClockworkMod recovery using NVFlash, instead of ROM Manager, as the latter still has some kinks to work out for this particular handset. Luckily, we have a tutorial on how to do just that. The ROM is void of T-Mobile bloatware, which some may be excited for, but you can no longer take screenshots without a dedicated application for the feature.
You should resist the urge to install this ROM in its current form if stable is the word you like to use in the same sentence when talking about the ROM you’re using. A handful of the issues still remained after even installing the build twice before anything seemed to be working in order. Things like the automatic brightness going bonkers, force closes in the settings, and overall instability should keep you from loving this ROM, but there will still be some of you who would rather have an unstable CyanogenMod 7 ROM than none at all. After a while, the ROM seems to chill out and running smoothly, it said.
While T-Mobile is hard at work with the official Gingerbread update, some may still be waiting on this popular custom ROM, as it packs more goodies than you can shake a stick at. Customization within CyanogenMod 7 is virtually endless, allowing a user to modify their phone in a way to suit their needs in ways that standard Android doesn’t allow. The Android OS is great for customization as it is, but custom ROMs like this bring it to a whole new level, even when it’s an unstable build like this one.
Since the ROM is a “nightly,” we can expect to see more hit in due time, but it seems like T-Mobile may actually beat CyanogenMod to the punch when it comes to shipping a stable Gingerbread update to the G2X.
