So I finally am getting a Nexus sometime this week. ^_^ I am so so so so so so so so SO excited. I had a couple question of course I am a BIG XDA head so I read a lot of stuff. But I was wondering from experience..
1: What is the BEST rom out? I am looking for
- Stability
- Good Battery life
- Little to no bugs.
(I imagine Froyo still being buggy and stuff?, idk give me more info on this I would like a FROYO rom.)
2: I bought the handset from a someone online, so do you think I can still get warranty if I call google?
3: What do you guys like best about the Nexus? I had a G1, MT3G, and now soon a Nexus One. :] I am so excited to hear what you guys think about it, and I am hoping the battery is better then the G1/MT3G? Of course I know with multitasking/ and rooting the kernal drains battery and such but whats your experience?

1. most roms are already stable. just search or while youre reading around look at sigs to see what people have flashed.
2. the warantee is connected with the original buyer and when you call they ask for the google checkout account that bought it. But Ive read a few people getting lucky and got replacements.
3. SPEED. insane speed compared to other phones/OSes. With root you can do anything you want and apple isnt around to lock down porn apps and flash. IMO battery life is mostly to do with usage. some people claim insane battery life and call themselves heavy users but I surely dont get close to what they get :\ but it will definitely last you through a day once you stop playing with it too much.

Nice, anyone else with inputs on there experience? I think I will go with the latest Cyanogen ROM.

Welcome to XDA and the android family, however if you replace the ROM, it will void any warranty you might have.

well once you do have root you can test all 3 roms in about an hour. all you need to do is run nandroid and have titantium/mybackup pro. it will move your apps and keep their data. you might not get all the system data moved because the roms are a little different but switching roms doesnt take too much effort
i would try the desire rom for lolz, cm to see the hype, and maybe another like enom to see what others are doing.

Im not new to XDA or android I know hot to root and all that just to clear up.. lol. I hate SENSE so that is out of the way, I know what Cyanogen can do.. I just wish benbuchacher could have a N1 so he can make his kernal.. Er... I just will have CM though.

[Q] Quick ROM Recommendation

I am about to flash my first ROM and looking for quick recommendations on a good ROM.
Speed is more important than battery life, and apart from that do have any other specific requirements

Mine.

No one can give you an objective answer. And this belongs in Q&A.

I don't need anything too specialized yet. Just something recent & popular & widely used. ie the top favourites around here.
Thanks. Will take a look at yours. Are they some of the most popular around here?

Take a look at Doc's. Fastest interface and best GPS I've ever had. Plus you can easily customize your own rom using the online kitchen
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397
Kitchen: www.romkitchen.org

Serendipity 2.0 is THE best ROM out there as far as speed goes imo.
It will EAT your battery up though since it's oc'ed. I haven't experienced to bad but I can tell with just a lil bit more usage it would drain quick.
I would wait for Firefly (few hours till released) and try that. It's going to be fast, smooth, and perfect without being oc'ed. Will also have great battery life and GPS will work for sure. My friend told me this; he has the beta. Lol

Assonance.

I'll eat my USB cable the day we get a ROM like that.

Thanks guys. That has given me feel for what is popular at the moment.
Now I just need to work out if I can flash a ROM without access to Winblows.

lmao! Thats something I'd almost be willing to pay to see!

Darkys v8!
Extremely stable, very fast, GPS is decent, battery life is *meh* i get about 12-13 hours on heavy to moderate usage but I charge it on my way home from work in the car.
Gingerbread themed, a lot of customation, very active developer, updates come out very easy to install ect.
Just my 2 cents

My recommendation is to become an addict and try them all.

MIUI is the smallest of any ROM's I have used. It is also the best on battery! Not to mention it has so many great features! I realize it's not really stock, but it's worth a look.
http://www.miui-dev.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-Google-Nexus-One

Small or large - doesn't matter at all to the battery.
All ROMs provide more or less the same battery capabilities, it's up to the user to tweak them.

surprising that this guy rooted without running into issues..

[Q] Need your Advice guys. Thinking of buying the 2x

Hi guys
Basically I've been a windows mobile user for ages now, had the omnia i900 for quite some time now, and i think its time to move on.
I've been thinking allot of buying this phone because it has an excellent value for money. Simplyelectronics.com has it listed for like 300 euros and here in my country(Cyprus) its 550 or something, which is ALLOT. So I've read allot of reviews and everything, but I would like to know what YOU guys think, how it is for everyday use.
Any problems or annoying stuff about it, and also if it's easy to use and easy to carry around, although is that big.
I really appreciate it.
Cheers

I changed to a custom rom almost immediately after I got my phone, so not sure about the stock software. I am using DJDroid rom atm, and I like the battery life and have no problem with everyday use.
It should be the best value for money phone until xiaomi phone arrives.

Hardware good, software bad, customize it and it's a goodun.

I'm also very interested in this phone. This is mainly because of it's killer hardware as well as the poor software as this has caused the price to fall to a reasonable level. Poor software can easily be fixed by flashing a custom Rom/kernel.
I also think it looks very nice

Thanks guys.
You're great.
How bout the feel of the thing. Does it feel bulky, or thick?
What do u think

It is 10.9mm which is slim, even to todays standards.

Just placed my order.
Really great value for money.
You guys have been really helpful, cause i read allot of threads about random reboots and stuff, and i thought they were hardware issues or smthn.
Anyway
Thanks a bunch
Cheers

I would buy the 2x. With the latest stock rom, it's smooth and stable.
I love it!

I dunno what anyone has agaisnt the stock rom with the exception of the bloatware crap that lg bundle in with it i havnt had any issues, no overheating, no random shutdowns or restarts, its been fast and responsive.
Maybe some people just dont know how to use their phone and have to get cyanogen to handle it for them.

Its a good Handy.
You can buy it.

I also think it's a great phone when you look at its price. I am really happy with it

its great if you dont use bluetooth audio and radio. otherwise dont buy it!

BT Audio? Really? Just A2DP or other audio-related profiles?
I was aware of A2DP issues with certain ROMs, but are you aware of any issues with the HSP (headset profile)?

good
im satisfied with my O2X and many developers are supporting this device now including extending battery life and camera quality. I'll say you should go and place the order

Feels good actually, not sure what others are about, been using mine with the rom it came with, has 2.2.2 on it and gets 3 days per charge easy (still over 50% battery at end of 3rd day), and have not had any issues with it.

Do you turn off your phone when you don't use it?
I have no idea you get 3 days out of it. I play 3 hours on mine, and battery is gone. What ril, baseband, rom, settings you use?

it's one of the best phone out there.. those said this phone s*cks must never tried to fix, so they given up this phone.. all you need is root, custom ROMs, and there you go.

Insight on the Thrill

hey guys, I was hoping to get some help from some thrill users. I'm hoping I can get a little honesty here, I am doing research for a buddy on the thrill. I have checked out specs, and spec wise seems like a nice device. I just wanted some insight on state of this device, whether its a good purchase or not, i have found some nice deals on this device bare in mind im buying full price so i want to have a device that will have a little bit of longevity. here are some things i hope you guys can share some insight on:
reliability of device, hardware/software
development does it look good will there be ICS i didnt notice ics roms
any alarming things to know about the device before buying
known issues
i ask all this because the G2x for tmobile seems to be a nightmare, hoping this is a better device thanks for any help you guys can provide

I'm pretty happy with my Thrill, but I was disappointed in how long it took to get GB out for it. I'm not sure if we will ever see ICS. The camera is excellent, battery life is ok (I bought a 3500mAh battery and have to charge up nightly). The 3D is kind of a gimmick, but it does work well.
I found that it's much snappier with a custom ROM. I'm currently using Lestatious AcidHazard from the dev forum here. Both ADW and GoLauncher are much better than the default "LG Home" launcher.
Overall, not bad for my first Android phone. I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS and will never look back at Apple, but for my next one I may consider Samsung or HTC just because there seems to be a much larger developer community for their offerings.

Ill give you only my opinion based on my experience with this device. Can't speak for anyone else but I'm sure there might be some very diverse opinions about this device.
I feel the Thrill is the underdog in the current Gen of high powered devices. Kinda like if you perchased a low cost car because the price and function fit your needs. Then you discover it had a turbine engine that simply needed to be switched on and calibrated properly. Would be cool and fun although very unlikely. However the Thrill is often referred to as a sleeper. The hardwear is all there but the stock Rom is restrictive. With some patience and proper modification the Thrill is an awesome phone that can outperform many high priced phones and then some.
In most cases from what I have seen many people find a baseband they like, and a rom that works with the baseband, a few tweeks and bam nirvana. Currently the most common issues that I'm aware of are Ghost calls, Bluetooth instability and minor app bugs. We don't have a huge Dev team but the devs we got are darn good and have flat out showed us all what the Thrill is supposed to be.
If you have loaded any roms or rooted a phone then you will be capable of tweaking the Thrill as you like in about 1 day at the most. Do some further research on it first before you dive in so you are fully aware of what your getting in to.
Hope that helps

Its fast as ****. Its nice to the eyes, it sounds good while making calls for me at least.
What else do you need?

coming from the HTC sensation the 3d agreed is fun to play with but a gimic super fast and honestly if the right tweeks were given then the phone would be right behind the sgs2 easily if not keep up the LG 3d Max launcher is what I'm using but it is slower easy fix by getting a launcher from the market I recommend Adw or go launcher the dev work is amazing but slow and the optimus 3d is the exact same phone and is on the official list to receive ics according to popular results on Google but looking at things it'll be years end before we see official ics custom ROM will show up first and more than likely soon since the drop for LG phones supposedly is second and 3rd quarter once agin popular Google results reviled this for me over all I do not regret the switch and believe this phone Will peak at ics but will stay alive for probably another year to a year 1/2 stability is decent but be sure to update to gingerbread as the phone really seems to shine afterwards

While I'm here asking I hate to be such a noob guys but I don't know much about this phone wanna be careful not to brick it. From what I can understand I have to flash the gb update from LG before flashing gb roms correct? All I did was root the phone and installed a 2.2 Rom to get it going however I couldn't get data working its on a prepaid plan for 50 dollars a month everything else seems to be functioning ok. I wanna get all my ducks in a row for tomorrow when I get more time to get him updated to gb. Any roms that are recommended and or kernels. Cm7 or official update what's working better thanks for any help guys I'm not usually such a noob I'm just use to htcs with s off and such or Samsung's and Odin. LG is like a whole nother animal

Lg update tool worked fine no issues I recommend a stock 2.2 ROM before update then work from there you'll love this phone AFTER you update though to avoid future questions on why you have no signal use an optimus 3d ROM to avoid alot of issues good luck and enjoy

I shall do a bit more reading before I update to gingerbread tomorrow, this phone is actually for my buddy I'm running with an amaze but I'm helping him out so he has a great phone glad to hear its a awesome device once updated.

I actually love this phone. It is really fast and the battery life is decent. The camera takes awesome pics and videos. About a month ago I was almost fed up with the phone and the dev on it but after flashing the Mokee ROM I fell in love with the Thrill all over again. If I had to choose a phone right I would pry choose the Note over this but then again most people would.

Pretty much the same situation for me. Also upgraded from a 3GS and I think this phone is awesome and a great first android for me. For the most stability on gingerbread, in my opinion, would be v21e. I flashed the promethius rom and kernel on top of it and my thrill is amazing.
