Just was wondering how you Revo users were liking this phone... especially comparing it to the Motorola's and HTCs....
THANKS!!!

The button placement is messing with me but other then that it's pretty legit. I like HTC better as far as sense and what not goes... but the phone is good and you can just use launcher pro or adw launcher if you don't like the native LG. Also LG tries to incorporate "Facebook for LG " but it sucks so I just use the normal app ...I like the phone in general though. The speaker is kind of quiet but I use my beats by dre so that doesn't bother me personally...

I like the LG's organization in the menu's..very well done so you dont have to scroll up n down looking for stuff you use...4G is a great thing and in time will only get better...im still waiting for frontcamera chat updates like GB or 2.2.3 updates
(coming from att 3gs iphone)

US LGX2 come with AOSP 2.2.1 froyo or Gingerbread?

Hello, is US version of LGX2 come with AOSP Froyo or Gingerbread or LG own software like TouchWiz or sense etc...?

I believe it will be 2.2.1 stock AOSP. It will look similar to current G2 by HTC. It might have some Tmo apps like WiFi calling, MobiTv and some others. But maily it will be clean and free of bloatware from LG.

They have some specs and possibly all features listed on their website (coming soon..). Notably absent is WiFi calling. Wonder, if not, could the app be "lifted' from another ROM by XDA? Also, will it be compatible with the hardware setup?
That could be a deal killer for me otherwise - I use WiFi calling most of the time from home office, as WiFi is always on thanks to TMo US data cap.
It seems like on most tmo phones, the wifi calling is delivered over an ota update soon after release..
One more question guys, does the phone comes unlock US version?

Comes w/ 2.2.2 stock. Few T-Mobile apps thrown in: AppPAck, My Account, Qik Video Chat, MobiTV, WiFi calling, Zinio
Thanks guys, I have one more questions cause I don't want to create another thread. Is LG easier to port Sense? Since its on froyo? Cause SamSux use different file system and it's a ***** to port Sense. Galaxy S series, 4G, Nexus S only AOSP rom like CM7, Miui etc but not Sense. Is LG the same like Samsux?

Probably 2.2.x judging from all the press shots with the fugly default pre-Gingerbread status bar.
Sense can't be ported to non-Neon GPU's like Tegra2 until HTC or someone else rewrites the whole thing. Get LauncherPro Plus.

Thanks, I just ask in the Evo 4G thread there is no way to port Sense to LG or Samsung due to htc close source.
I guess I'll be waiting on htc so I can have both worlds AOSP cm7, Miui and Sense ui.

This is the best lockscreen I've ever seen.

This seems to mostly play ball with htc's framework and not aosp. What would we need to do to get it to work?
Really????
Two words...Widgetlocker Lockscreen

Really? Widgetlocker Lockscreen is bleh at best. I think this fLockscreen looks sweet!
regardless, i still think it looks hot. lol..simple but nice
I'm going to jump on and say you could do this with WidgetLocker. Used it since day 1 on the TB, and for quite a while on my OG Droid. Works fine and is getting better with every update.

The last time I used WidgetLocker (which was on a rooted DI) it killed my battery & lagged like crazy. My TBolt is completely stock, no root, so is WL really worth it?
This has been out forever... ran the beta on my epic a year ago.

Running WidgetLocker and Phantom Music Control on my Thunderbolt and it's great. The music control on that lock screen looks 100% identical to the Phantom Music Control widget.

[Q] Which ROM should I flash for my mother?

Verizon has their 100$ off the 4g smart phones....and i want a droid 4......but alas. Im not due to upgrade untill 2013, my mom on the other hand has an upgrade ready to go.
Shes thinking about getting the droid 4 and giving it to me....and me giving her my droid 3. (she has a droid eris right now *shudders*, iv done all i could to make that phone better and its still horrible...plays netflix at 3 fps.)
So question for you guys!
Which ROM should I flash for her? I want her to have the most smooth user friendly ROM out there...that does what she needs it to do....not with ALL the bells and whistles us geeks use .
What she does mostly on the phone.
1. Email
2. Web Browsing
3. Watch Netflix (well she wants too!)
4. ACTUAL PHONE CALLS!!
5. Texting (not that often)
6. Pictures
7. Pandora (she uses that alot actually)
Maybe some convenient tweaks in the rom here and there would be nice...toggles and such. But I think mostly a light weight smooth rom would be nice ^.^. I was going to flash Liberty....but i see no support for that anymore :/
So ill take all opinions into consideration!
Mavrom!!!!!!

Mavrom definitely, or DarkDroid, if your mother fancies red.
Also, LMAO, what an unusual question!
M3 XT860
DarkDroid 1.1 (Unsafe) + Hash's ICS Beta 1 (Safe)
darkdeoid or steeldroid..ivy heard of one problems with mavrom
/Droid3
Eclipse 2.0 works well for me..only issue I had
was mobilehotspot not working..I had bluetooth issues with the Mav and Liberty roms..other than that, those were fine..my opinion

Why not stock de-bloated? It will meet all of your requirements
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App

Ugly Everald green with new update for HTC One

Well I've tried to search everywhere and play with every option on my phone I have an HTC One m7 they just did an update today on my phone and there's this ugly ass emerald green everywhere and I can't find the option to change it or get rid of it or revert. Any help guys?

Oh here's my software info so others be warned about downloading the OTA update

Yup I hate it too, why they would choose that colour as standard is beyond me, that's why I will only use a custom sense 6 rom where you can change all of that.
Anyway, go to settings - personalize - themes to change it for now.
or you could root, download xposed installer and then sense 6 toolbox to change it, a bit more complicated though.
Yeah I did that I selected the thing that has black in it and a picture of a frozen um evergreen branch or some ****. But still everything I touch is highlighted in green and all of my contacts that don't actually have pictures have big ****ing square green patches on them. You know I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing. I usually end up doing it toward the end of my contract that's usually when the phone starts ****ing up to. But I love this phone so much the way it is. Trust me a time will come and overclocking along with free wifi for everyone. **** sprint they can lick my balls. It's better than a iphone but we're not there yet the fellas.

flash the latest viper one sense 6 rom, they have loads of very cool themes for their sense 6 rom in the themes section.

Yeah I had Viper ROM on my htc evo 3d I liked it I also liked the CyanogenMod. But to tell you the truth I prefer the stock look. But I like the overclocking and the access to WiFi sharing. You know I noticed the more and more you mod a phone it's like an addiction he keeps throwing **** from everywhere together little bit from here a new skin from there. I knew kernel from another place then you flash the radio. And then you end up with a hodgepodge. And then you brick your phone lol

Welcome to the world of wanting your device your way. Either flash a rom or redo the hundreds of xml and image changes to get rid of the green.
Well I decided to call HTC and ask them about it and I told them I've been a customer with them since the hero and then the HTC EVO 3d and now the HTC One m7 and I explained the situation and they basically told me well it's all part of sense 6 and there's no way you could take it out so you're SOL. So it looks like a rooting I will go thanks for all the support guys

Good old customer services, so customer aware and helpful
You can change the theme in Sense 6 in the Personalise menu, not that I ever did as I quite like the green but I've gone to GPe
