Hi guys,
Right now I have a Desire HD running Cyanogenmod and it is sweet but Optimus 2x is better hardware.
All I would like to know is Cyanogenmod stable enough on this phone to be a daily user yet?
Any show stopping bugs or things I should be aware of before I make a purchase?
I don't want to run the standard Lg rom, and the fact Cyanogen has one is 90% of the reason I want one. So should I buy now or wait a bit until there is a stable release?
Thanks for your opinions.

Why buy a new phone when u got a desire HD. Stick to the desire and wait untill the nexus 3 will be released.

I like it and would switch your DHD with an O2X, but its your call, not everyone likes this device.
Basically yes, CM7 is being used by a lot of people daily including me since build 0, and by arcee long before us all.

I would say yes, since what's what I bought my O2X to do

O2x easy go for it..............
waste of money to switch unless you are that desperate to play HD games
I tried many devices and if u r a gamer. Ur option is only atrix and o2x. I went with o2x because the ips display and at that time atrix was locked.
U can get one noelw and enjoy it. Then by year end go with iPhone 5 or nexus 3. If ur not a gamer then get the gs2.

I'm seriously considering the LG Optimus 2X as well. The prices of this phone recently came down in India. The only thing thats holding me back is the fact that it still sports Froyo as opposed to Gingerbread in similar speced devices. But I'm quite happy that Cyanogenmod has my back with a nightly for this phone
Should I make the switch from Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 (SLCD version) to the LG? The other phone that I'm considering is the Nexus S. How stable is the Cyanogenmod nightly?

I would say go for it. The nightlies are very stable, and the O2X is actually going to be included in the 7.1.0 RC. Using the O2X on CM7 #56 for a while now, and performance, battery life and almost everything is working like a whiz. I have not actually encountered any major problems, such as the famous phone freeze. The phone is very snappy as well, and I don't see any reason why you should not make the change. =D

Gracias for your reply! Just another question- which custom ROM is preferable? Cyanogenmod or Modaco? Also, when is CM 7.1.0 RC gonna come out?

I tried FR17 Fear edition before the CM nightlies, and I would say that CM, being CM, was much snappier than FR17, but it is entirely up to individual preference though. For the RC, cyanogen has personally posted on twitter that he was hoping for it to come out by this weekend, but no promises though.
One more (I know I'm asking too many...I apologize ) How does the O2X rate against the HTC Incredible S? Will the CM ROM+LG O2X perform better than the HTC ones? I do realize that HTC phones are single core...but have more RAM than the O2X.
o2x has a tegra 2 mate. In day to day usage there will be little to no difference but the o2x will destroy games.
Personally I've decided to wait until Christmas as further research has led me to believe that there isn't a great deal of benefit from being on dual cores at this stage. There is little to none apps which utilize them properly.

Hmm... It really depends on what you want with the phone. If its for gaming, then the O2X wins the Incredible S hands down due to Tegra. However, for daily normal tasks, both might be equally fast(not sure about this, haven't tried an Incredible S yet), as Android still does not fully support multi-threaded tasks, making the O2X's dual cores not being fully utilized. However, I think that in the near future, once dual-core support comes out in probably Ice Cream Sandwich, the difference between these two phones will be greater. About RAM, although the HTCs have more RAM, the O2X already has enough RAM as it is for about anything. So I don't really see why the bigger RAM will really matter.
Cool, thanks cha0sh3r0 & dr.m0x I'm not a gamer but a business user of Androids. So gaming performance is not a criteria for me. The reasons for going in for O2X are quite a few.
1. Its around 2000 Rs (45 USD) cheaper than the Incredible S.
2. It has Cyanogenmod support...Incredible S has a locked bootloader (which may change)
3. O2X has dual-core which future proofs me when Ice Cream Sandwich comes out...either as an official LG or Cyanogenmod release.
I'm done with Samsungs and their cheap plastic builds which I really hate. HTC phones seem to have some weird "death grip" issues. LG O2X seems like a good bet for me

No prob dude
I have more faith in the community to provide help and support as opposed to a company, thats why I'm glad that Cyanogen is around
Besides, being an exclusive Linux user (yes, even at work)...hacking and modding comes easy to me
Most of the comments here are spot on. But remember CM7 doesnt support BlueTooth and A2SD. That is a basic function and the only reason many of us use Madacos. Including me
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
why do you need a2sd there is plent of room for apps especially if your not a gamer, I only worried about that on my desire that had 100mb
just broke my galaxy s for the third time, so i think its time to move on. i have to decide to move to an optimus 2x, or an atrix. what u guys think? From what i saw, optimus have a better camera, what means a lot for me, lg have the best cellphone cameras imo. atrix have what it seens a little more speed and more space (16gb)
what do you guys suggest me?
I would not but a LG ever again. Imho Sony camera is much better.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
sony camera is cool too, but locked bootloader and still no dual core phone (or am i late?)
o2x imo is better than the atrix, the atrix has more memory so if that's what your after then get that, i love the design and shape and size of my o2x and if it wasn't for the ****ty lg support and nvidia ****ing with us by holding back vital drivers needed for ICS dev then this phone would be the best iv ever had.
The camera is pretty great iv never seen the atrix camera so cant compare tho.
The benchmarks tests always seem to show the o2x to be ahead of the atrix even tho they both have a tegra 2 chipset.
But with the customs roms this phone is pretty decent, its fast responsive, get a custom home screen and it will be smooth as you can imagine, the lg home screen is rather choppy but i use it because i like the way you can organize apps and games into separate category rather than just throwing them together into a big mess if you can do that with adw or go launcher then someone please tell me how so i can switch.
I only paid £200 for my o2x brand new so i cant complain too much, defo worth it compared to the 400-500 they are asking for that overpriced crap called the sgs2, decent phone.... ****ty price tag, no phone is worth that much.
In Australia there are close to no people using Optimus 2xes due to no one selling them on plans/contracts. Every second person has a galaxy s2 though so they can't be that bad.
I would lean towards avoiding the atrix due to the locked bootloader. Apparently there's a 50% chance of bricking it.

If you can get it for £300 or less this is an amasing phone with cyangemod on it. Nvidias playing ball now so ics will be brill on here. Theres even rumours that yhe cm team have a alpha build of ics all features working minus camera. Its looking rosey and bright for this phone. I love it plays everything i throw at it, games, vids and music

It's quite possible that they sent RC what he needed, he's been asking them since day one, and is a serious coder, rather than the 'cook' type 'dev'.
I would say get one, the stock GB is apparently much improved over froyo, and CyanogenMod is just great, that's the reason I bought mine in the first place.
If I hadn't have managed to get a freebie, I'd keep mine.
For its money LG O2X is the best phone.
Please, don't buy that phone!
It's have the worst supported in the WORLD.
Nvidia and LG = S**T
I sell my phone, and Im really happy with that choice.
And I don't wanna see that phone again.
The best choice for you is the HTC, more beautiful and intuitive homescreen, custom roms, etc...
And forget about the Galaxy S2, this only good because the Super Amoled, and Camera, nothing more...

Yes you should buy it, looks great and does what its supposed to in no time. Got mine today and it came with Gingerbread out the box.
gr8 phone..
dude its a lovely phone.. go for it.. with stock gingerbread, its awesome no more stupid issues..
the htc high end smartphones not near as fast like the o2x or the sgs2, the hardware component quality is low, if htc not change that it will be died. maybe the rom is good but it just candy.. if you want a phone what is broken often go ahead and buy a htc. i had many htc, i never ever want again.
sgs2 it will be a good choice if isn't very overpriced. by the way the samsung company almost act like the apple, soon booth company will be in the android users blacklist. o2x is a good choice but the stock lg rom is a crap, you need to flash one of the custom roms!

I dont think so.. the neo looks better and has a much better software support i guess. the neo will get the new android ice cream sandwich really soon. LG instead has a worse update policy (the users had to wait a really long time until they got gingerbread).
Go for optimus 2x.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Well, it depends...
If you want an out of the box working smartphone... stick with the Sony.
If you like experimenting with your phone and install custom ROMs... go for the LG.
It has pretty good hardware for its price. And works like a charm with CM or MIUI.
The stock ROMs are s**t.
Definitely go for it

Very happy O2X user here too. CyanogenMod FTW!
To counter what everyone says: NONONONONO.
I honestly don't think there's a worse device to go for right now than the O2X. Sure the Dev work is good, but why go for a phone with zilch official support? The Neo's going to get ICS, I believe. The O2X might take 8 years to get it. Stay were you are.
Someone offered me a neo for my o2x once. I didnt even take the time to respond.
Off course you should go for the o2x, because it is an awesome phone!
Granted, the stock software sucks monkey balls, but custom rom support is way better than the neo. Once you put cyanogenmod on it, you can tweak it so its just how you like it. Thats why i love this phone. SE sucks imo for locking their bootloaders.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
I have to agree. Cyanogenmod is very very good on this one Actually I can buy what phone I would like. Nexus og S2 or whatever but I'm gonna stick with 2X for a while. Why? Because its so goddamn fun phone to have with all the dev's work here!
What CM are you guys using and like so much? I tried the latest nightly #204 and it was full of bugs(camera especially, also touch button led's turning off, etc.)...

If you like to rooting your device, definitely go for optimus
but if only want official update, go for neo
lg stock rom sucks but the custom rom really2 great!
The eternal suggestion for any android phone is when there are devs working on it and they are doing great, just go for the phone. Any kind of it.

im so happy with it, i had xperia x10, galaxy tab, and if when i bougth lg 2x LG would have been spending $ 150 more of i must, but i cant so i go for 2x and a friend of mine has the ss2 and the lg doents ask much may be on multitasking but im not using ten apps at time im hapi muiu user, cm is good too but i like the tools on miui, limit data and those stuff
do the swap before the neo owner realises he is retarded...
I have an O2x while my sister has a Neo, both phones are good, but my O2X is faster, has better screen, and is better supported in fact of custom roms.
On the other hand, Neo looks better and has better stock rom support (and ICS soon)...
Summing everything i'll go for the O2X anyway
Hardware > Software
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Well I had the same delima between optimus 2x and xperia Neo , go for optimis 2x you won't be disappointed , and install cm7.1 asap because LG skin is crap

Generally, The O2X not bad ..... LG O2X price was drop day by day, because a lot of new look, speed fast and high Ram phone come out, so in LG O2X only 512MB Ram .... little bit slow, and later on when LG O2X upgrade to ICS, do the 512 MB Ram will get the phone slower or faster that really dunno, But in Stock Rom GB, I need to stop a lot of service to maintain to the Ram has over 100MB Ram free to run other Apps, Make me tired, and you can say why don't change the Custom Rom, well, coz of I believe LG can do something good but end is not .... so I think is time to change the better one.

Well, SE Xperia the display is really good, but not all app can install on it, like the "Tiny Tower" can't install on it, and HTC the most update one is Sensation XE and XL. well, those XE and XL sound system is good and follow Beat ear phone, is nice! so different brand have their own advantage and disadvantage.

Hi!
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus and im thinking of selling it and purchase a LG Optimus 2x.... would it be a good decission?
Pros I see in SGS+ is really good screen and maybe a bit better quadrant results
Cons: Not that big community, no 4.0 support, no CM or MIUI support
I want to see your opinions since i still can get a great deal for my SGS+ and use that money for changing to LG2x.....
Which are the quadrant and antutu results for this phone? Would this be a good change?
Thanks for your opinion!!

first of all, i have a question, cause i'm a bit curious: if there is a dedicated Q&A section, why post [Q] topic in the General area ? trying to understand the logic behind that.
secondly, y u no search ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101123&highlight=sgs&page=14 first half of the page answers your exact question (well, discussion masked as a question).

And yes, like he said, that thread has it all answered (as it was me that posed that same question). And I must say I don't regret going for the O2X not one bit, it has been impressing me everyday. And it's funny actually, I don't have ANY of the problems people mention here in the forums. No random reboots, battery life is good, everything's great

The Galaxy S+ is a single core, on the contrary the o2x is a dualcore...no chance for the sgs+...the sgs has also a no-flash 5mpx hd camera, the o2x has a 8mpx full hd camera with led flash....
Cons of the o2x: bad stock firmwares by lg (it has a lot of bugs), but just flash cyanogenmod 7 and the phones becomes speedy and pretty stable...
The o2x will be updated to ICS, instead of the sgs+....
Who is the winner?

Agreed with this one. I already had Acer Iconia A500 and amazed with its speed. O2X has the same muscle with Iconia (dual-core Tegra 2) so didin't have any doubt about performance. And it proved.
The only cons is the LG's lack of software support. Thankfully, lots of alternative ROMs are available!
I bought a LG O2x and gave the SGS+ to my wife... i hope i made the right decision (she needed a new phone anyway and is not interested in modding or flashing roms...)

More functional? I don't think that. The CM settings are very impressive, and rich in function. The CM7 is much better from every aspect.
