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.

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.
Yea I was thinking more the hardware side of Things

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.

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 also have the 4x HD since a week now and i`m totally happy with it. It`s really fast and smooth. No reboots or other failures til now. And i already gained one update last week from v10a to v10b. Maybe they`ve learned to update regularly. Well, we`ll see it in the future.
I think it will take some time until there is a real fanbase and some devs.

Buying a 4x after a 2x can only be called naive.

Hey, can you install apps on the micro sd card or transfer app data onto the external sd? I heard the SGS3 can't.
Thanks for all the answers ! I appreciate it.
I am very satisfied with the phone, because of the nice interface and especially the big HD screen
I know that some of you think it is stupid to buy a LG phone after the LG Optimus 2x, but I actually had a 2x before which had a lot of bugs. I was lucky to get my money back which resulted in buying a Lumia 800. But the Windows Phone was to boring and I missed Androids many functions. The reason for I bought a LG again was because I liked the 2x, and when I saw the 4x for the first time I wanted it. The 4x is in fact also about 200 dollars cheaper than the Galaxy s3 and the One X, here in Denmark.
I know that the phone is only available in about 11 countries right now.

The browser is nice and very fast, actually almost faster than my pc, but it is not perfect.
I think the battery is about average, I can use it for about 6 hours with very heavy usage as browsing, video and so on. I bought it three days ago, so I haven't tried the battery on a normal day but I think that it can last for at least a day.
The screen is outstanding, I love it and it was the main reason for buying this phone. The price is also good for a such a nice phone
I have noticed that it sometimes uses a lot of ram even though I don't use many apps at the same time, but after a while it gets normal again. It has resulted in some lag one time, but I made a factory reset and haven't noticed it anymore and it works like a charm now
So I think you should buy it because it is an incredible phone with a very good price, but you must have in mind that it is a LG and therefore be prepared for the worst.
But I am very satisfied with it and will never change it for a s3, one x or another high end smartphone.

The screen on this phone is much better than the 2x's screen ,it is in fact better than the Samsung Galaxy S3, well that is what the reviewers say and I totally agree
The screen is perfect for reading, browsing and watching video on. The screen is sharp and colourful.

I can't compare it with a IPhone because I have never owned one.
The loudspeaker can get very load but unfortunately the sound clarity looses quality when it is on full.
But I think the sound quality is perfect when it is connected with headphones and you can actually press at a bottom with is named Dolby Mobile that makes the sound clearer and it is actually like the option "surround" on the LG2X. But this function is only available when connected with headphones.
I can compare the sound quality with a Lumia 800, and say that the sound quality on this phone is a level or two better

Some reasons i can think of why you should stick to the O2x:
* 3D seems exciting and fun at the start, but later it gets boring and not practically an extra feature in the long run (IMHO)
* The Camera is better in O2x
*O2x Weighs lesser and is slimmer and more compact
*O2x Screen is slightly smaller but i guess better quality
*Much better dev scene here, O3D doesnt have a single ICS ROM, while we are close to getting JB (seems so)
*About the O3D's GPU being better, the difference is quite small.
Very demanding games will lag on both, and moderate to demanding games should run similarly on both.
Just my two cents

Yeah i know about 3D. Got 3D cinema next to my flat , my old galaxy S is getting 13-14 fps in taiji benchmark vs rough 8 for o2x. So it should be only better for p920.
Yeah i have looked in the p920 forum and i dont know why there is no ics for it.. omap have their sources open afaik.
Anyway i think i would go for the deal. No CAF in o2x is a letdown.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
I know optimus 3d has worse software bugs than our 2x... And ics will be released later
We dont have ics because LG wont give us source code for 3D.And the way i see it, its stupid to have O3D without 3D.We will get ICS next month i think, LG testing it right now.My brother whants to buy 2X so i came here to see does 2X have good comunity, and i found my answer, thx.

The o2x is a better phone, i'd pick it even only for the better camera.
Yet you shouldn't stay on LG. Get apple, nokia, s3...the world is free!
I even wonder who wants o2x. I've been trying to get rid of it, but everyone checking on the internetz,and seeing there are problems with getting ICS, no one wants it..
Oh gosh such hate for LG as I have similary for church xD. This forum should be renamed to condemner shrine...

Yea,its like i wanna buy a car for 15k and someone recomends me one for 30k.Gtfo with ur tips.
the o3d is just pure ugly.. for one, but thats a matter of personal taste though.
o2x has a better: camera, screen, audio quality, and most importantly dev support.
2x is the overall better phone. 3d function is (in my opinion) just useless
You are here at xda devs... so you should know how to get your 2x way faster then o3d and even SGS2 isnt so far away....

Hi,
I agree completely with you, after 18 months with my 2x I decided to get the 3D. I know, it's an old model, but I became a good offer from my operator and compared it with other prices in the market for similar devices and I finally decided me for it. It's still a very good phone. For me, it was the best choice and i don't regret it. After updating to V21e all the prior problems, like ghost calls, are solved. The phone is easely rootable and there are a few custom roms that work great, no mention cm 7.2 that works great too, but hasn't all the 3d stuff.
Pros of phone are a very good construction, nice screen, I personally don't like the oversaturated amoled screen. I have to say that the IPS screen of the 2x is still better representing colors but at this point i'm not dissapointed with the 3d's one.Veryt very very smooth, nothing to envy with other double core phones.
xtrustkillx good investion in my opinion.

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

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.

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
