Hey dudes i am planning to exchange my hd7 with mango custom rom(2 month old phone) with an lg optimus 2x (1 month old) by paying some extra bucks of about 80 dollars( 4000 indian rupees ). Do i should do that? the reason is purely hardware and the plentiful apps availability for android. Though i love hd7, i need some more freedom, which windows never allowed me.
Please post your opinion.

We wont get ICS! This phone is great other than the lack of support from LGs technical department! Phone works very well on a custom rom!

If you like custom ROMs, get it. If you don't, stay away.

Rusty is 100% correct, with a custom ROM the O2X is superb.

So well dudes, i like custom rom, my wildfire runs on cm7 latest nightly. But what about installing it? Is it hard, i mean crackikng boot loader/ security etc? And what about cm7 on 2x, is it nice or gives hell of problems?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
It's as easy to install as it is on the Blade, pretty much everything is functional bar FM radio.
Well i am yet to flash my Rom but the stock sucks..and have heard the custom Rom are good and with custom kernels like neoblaze u can overclock ur device as well.... dunno how hd7 is..never used it..

I guess for the o2x are more roms available. Its a realy nice phone actually!

O2X for now.
Samsung phones have advantage as they release some source codes.
The best is to check cyanogen's website, if there is a cyanogen the phone is usually well supported by devs.
We have cyanogen for arc its just complications thats all
If I get LG o2x all I need to do is root then cmw then put a Rom on is it that easy or have u got to open bootloader or any thing
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
I thought xperia arc's cyanogen was ported by someone else?
Locked bootloader is a bad idea for a flasholic
For Optimus Black, it is still fairly new; but the bootloader isn't locked so it shouldn't have major issues.
Arc -> Black looks like a major downgrade to me
STAY AWAY FROM LG !!
If you are flashaholic, HTC is the way. Or Samsung. Or anything else...
DO NOT BUY LG!
Why not? I think that if you do want to flash different ROM's, then LG O2X is a great phone. It's the stock rom that's causing trouble.

i recommend you to try the lg optimus 2x. is by two time much powerful and open to the development then lg Black.
Is LG really that bad I like HTC alot coming from dhd but just fancy a change

And wont the o2x be outdated and old soon its been out a while and dont want to buy if development just slows to a holt

Just go and try it, my LG is the best phone i ever had (O2X)..
Ive had an LG Renoir too, that was my 2nd best i think..

Compared to Black it is "newer", if you think about the hardware. If you are thinking of release-date, Black is newer - but not on the inside.

That depends. No need for a2dp, then CM7 is the way to go. If you need a2dp then GR2 is the best.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Using cm7 for 6 weeks, it is a far better rom than original one. Very smooth, no bsod, but some fonctions are missing as said before. Don't forget to backup your contacts and so before changing.

Please tell me what are the functions that doesen,t work with cm7. If i will instal this rom, when the oficial update will be released, i will be able to update my phone with cm7 rom installed?

I'm starting a campaign to tweet LG every day with "Warning: DON'T BUY LG their service is awful. "worlds first dual-core phone" they are refusing to update software for is useless @LGBlogUK"
Will also post on every one of their facebook posts a similar note.
If everyone else does the same then it might shame them into getting off their arses and doing something about it. I doubt it but worth a try.
Thinking I will claim my LG Thrill as lost/stolen, pay the deductible for a new LG Thrill and donate my current LG Thrill to a well known developer that doesn't have the phone so you can root this darn thing and build us some roms!! Any takers??

You should post this in the general general forum might get more ppl interested
Putting a CM7 Rom on the LG Thrill is pretty much pointless since you lose all the 3D capabilities of the phone which were the selling point of this device.

That's exactly why I went to Biohazard Kitchen ROM... it works GREAT. I've had 0 reboots, no ghost calls, everything seems to work perfectly.
i was at a store today and i was able to use the samsung galaxy nexus for quite a while.. i was thinking of getting it next month but i was quite disappointed after playin with it.. my optmus 2x is much faster on ics! the only thing i loved about it was its screen... it was like.. whoa!! the perfect screen.. but even its launcher was too laggy :/ scrolling from apps to widgets screen made the phone look sooo slow.. what is your opinion on it?? should i get one of these or better avoid them?

Go fr it...nexus series has a great dev support..
2X devs are also good, but they are few in no.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
My opinion is: do not judge the phone by how it behaves on the stock rom
hmmm i guess you are both right.. but isnt it strange that it is so crap out of the box?? if someone isnt in the modding trick he will be crying for the (lots of) money he gave for it.. and its the latest google official phone which should be flying while all the rest phones are walking..

Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?
I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?
Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.
i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol
Was happy for it but will probably change once nexus 4 comes out, it gets slow way too fast on any rom

Don't know how you use it, but with propper ROM RAM/Kernel is enough even for some of tegra 3 games, especially for daily use..

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..
It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

advice ?? Buy it or not to buy it? I was thinking to go for a Xperia sola new one if not the optimus 2X 2nd hand one.
Sola doesn't have a gyroscope and HDMI. But I need 'em
if you want secondary camera, bigger screen and 1080p video go for o2x
i recommend to you to watch a youtube video review about xperia sola to decide and read in xperia sola section here in xda for background and users feedback
