[Q]Worth buying now and rocking Cyanogenmod?

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

[Q] so now the new O2X are (more) bug-free?

hi O2X crew. i'm considering buying this phone but upon reading a few forums this phone is pretty unreliable to start with. i've noticed there had been a major software update by LG. so does it mean now the phone people can buy from the stores are a lot better than before?

there has been no major update. you are better off with something thats not from lg.... i would recommend a nexus, maybe wait on the new one
the hardware (at least in most cases) is not the problem, the problem is the utterly bad software and support from lg.

no its not, though it fixes bugs present on initial release
I'd advice you to just forget o2x, and wait a while for the nexus release, you'll add a few bucks, and you'll get a rock solid phone + with awesome support, unlike the o2x(still has no official gb update)

OMG ppl...
Am I the only satisfied owner?
Dont know whats the fuzz about.
I got the 2x for 300 euros and am more than satisfied.
With Cyanogenmod its stable, super fast and good battery life.
Ok stock rom might not be the best rom out there but whatever device i would gotten, i would install cyanogenmod either way. So....
I recommend it if you are under a bit of a tight budget. If not go for SGSII

lorismarcos: when did u get your o2x?
so with the update, does the phone still reboot, freeze, bad battery life, etc etc etc?
i'm considering o2x cuz its the best phone right now for fido in which i can redeem my fido dollars on. i wish fido has a better lineup.

Repeat!! Do not buy LG phone...
Or you will join us to angry LG poor software service......

alrighty then

LG Optimus 2X!!!!! its a lost cause, just do your best to stay way from it or any other LG phone.

I concur with other people's opinions that the software part really needs improving from LGs end. However, as far as the hardware is concerned you get your bang for your buck. It plays well with other dual core phones so with a custom ROM you can really exploit the capabilities of the phone. Even on the stock ROM (Which I am using at the moment) the phone is running fine, no randon BSODs for me at the moment, and battery life pretty good, actually last a few more more than a day. So, I'd say it's a good phone but LG has reduced the quality of it by not releasing updated software for it.

when did u get yours Soul?

The problem with optimus 2x is in 3 parts
1st it was delivered with a really BAD software (random reboots etc)
2nd They promised gb update at may-june (whick never happened till today they postpone it all the time)
3rd they dont release their propriaty software so no stable aosp roms wet
2.2 IS stable now but if you try 2.3 youll see a speed and battery and api improvment. So eveyone wants 2.3
If lg had said "People I sell this phone but youll get 2.3 in a year noone would qq now.
If lg opened their sources unrooted people would qq now
As things are now all are qqing.
My advice is get this phone. The price / value is very high. That if you can live with 2.2 froyo which doesnt have any problems nowdays but still its not 2.3 gingerbread.
psI was one of the first people that got optimus 2x (snif 500€) and I had numerous of problems with 10b version but it was ok with 10a. after 10d with 725 baseband it was buggless

Nope, there are more of us
Never had any problems, really. And our phone is getting better and better, there is no doubt about it. Even if LG sucks - our developers did wonders out of beta leaks

Also beware of the BSOD problem, that hasn't been yet fixed, even in the leaked GB ROMs (it's probably a hardware issue). It occures every 3-4 days and the only way to unblock the phone is to take out the battery.
Do NOT buy this phone until you're sure LG sorted this bug out!

buy it, its a god phone i never had a problem and i gad it the day it come out

I have o2x for me and my wife.
My boss bought o2x 2 weeks before me (they stole it though).
My recommendations for you is better pick another phone.
Reasons:
My wife runs on stock rom 2.2.2
For facebook, phone, sms camera and some silly games is just fine with the stock rom and good phone for its money.
On the other hand my phone runs on custom rom (topogigis) because the battery, customization, stability isnt what i like on the phone and i want more than a few apps like my wife. Stock 2.2 was a nightmare for me. Reboots, bad reaction and generally not stable for my taste.
My boss had 5 times reinstall stock rom etc because he had issues with the phone. He said at last installation that the phone runned smoothly although BSOD was a daily bases (at least once a day).
Conclusion:
If u want a phone with stock roms and never care about anything else look for another phone. LG support sucks, just forget stock rom.
If u want a phone with good hardware and low money but u want to custom everything then buy one but get in mind that u might have to learn how to cook roms because many developers might quit developing on this phone and buy another phone, considering LG support.

Haters gonna hate
Wow, there are so many haters in this thread, lol
I love my 2x. It is the best phone I ever had.
I didn't have any problems with the original stock rom (except for the fact that it was a little sluggish). After the last LG update (10d), everything is nice and smooth.
I am on a gingerbread leak (topogigi) because I am a nerd, but I found the 10d fast and stable.
Also, lol at having to learn how to cook roms to use the phone. I think developer support for our phone is awesome and nothing makes me think that it's going to be changing any time soon.

hi, about to buy an optimus 2x, any suggestions?

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!

LG Optimus 2X vs Samsung Galaxy R

My first android Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 died a last week as my son peed on it ...so I am looking out for a new phone....
I am having a tough time selecting between LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy R which both have a similar hardware with pros and cons for both...
After the price drop on Galaxy R, the price difference is not much so that is not a deciding factor.
I know that the stock ROM of LG sucks and my head says that I should stick to the stock ROM till the phone is within warranty, but I my heart says that I should install custom ROMs as I did play a lot on my old Spica with the custom ROMs available on Samdroid Forum and the community is pretty strong on XDA for LG O2X...
On the other hand the Galaxy R has a good usable ROM out of box that I can use till my phone is in warranty and then I can experiment with custom ROMs. The community is just evolving and is not as strong as O2X....
I am really confused...looking forward to an honest suggestion from the experts...
Thanks in advance and a very Happy New Year to all.
Cheers,
Parag

i am using LG O2X and i am very satisfied. (i think) if you'll use full feature of android phone, you must root your phone and use custom rom. both phones have the same CPU, but there is much difference between the screens. i prefer IPS.
i do not use Galaxy R but i definitely recommend o2x.

I'd take the O2X, too.
The update to ICS will come and the new roms are really good.

the galaxy R has double ram memory which is a huge advantage.. but with cyanogenmod 7.2 for now and cyanogenmod 9 in a few days/weeks, the optimus is really great and its power is widely extended ... battery life could be better tho.. have a happy new year with a powerful new phone
Sent from my (CM7.2) Optimus 2X using XDA App

ICS won't be there in a few days or weeks
We need some binaries from nvidia and maybe even a leak from LG..

Thanks for the replies so far. I just saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997705 related to the reboot problem with O2X. Haven't gone through all the 150+ pages but it surely is concerning.
This just might convince me to go for Galaxy R.

That problem doesn't exist anymore. And if you'll flash CM7 you'll have a very smooth and responsive phone. Remember that o2x is supported by CM and MIUI teams.

If it costs the same i'll get Galaxy R
1. Samsung has better support than LG
2. You can add a cellphone strap to Galaxy R (i think, but you can't on O2X)
3. Louder speakers (O2X is softer than spica and i have a spica)
4. Screen looks better and it is larger (depends on person, i prefer larger screen than pixel density to some extend)
5. higher RAM and ROM capacities (Puts you on the safe side for future upgrades)
6. Hopefully more stable radio than O2X (O2X's radio is too irregular)
7. BT 3.0
8. Battery Life
Some advantages for O2X
1. Design (O2X looks nicer with the curved glass [personal preference])
2. Gorilla glass (thou i'm quite sure Galaxy R is quite tough as well)
3. Well established dev community
4. Search button (if you ever use it)
Since my brothers both use Galaxy S and i used to have a spica and now an O2X, if they costs the same i'll get Galaxy R.
I got O2X purely because it is the cheapest dual core phone in the market and the huge amounts of software issues made it even cheaper.
Anyone do post any arguments if i stated anything wrongly.

i have a OX2 for some days now and i flashed it right away at CM7.1.0 stable. and i got some shutdowns and freezes ad fc as well... Since i did that so earlish i cant surely tell if its rom/software problem or its a phone hardware issue... im still very noobie on mods and stuff like that... maybe i did something wrong..i will try soon to wipe all and re flash.. other than these problems is awesome phone..and the mod community huge!

If you aren't comfortable flashing roms I wouldn't recommend the O2X.
I love mine and would never trade it for the Galaxy but that's cause I love the unlimited tweaks, mods, and dev support.
But again if you are too worried to mod it stick with the Samsung they will have more support and corporate updates that wont void your warranty.
Good luck and they are both excellent phones.
Happy new years!
Making bad decision's one at a time.

Hi there,
I never regretted the decision to buy an O2X. It's a great phone for the price that you have to pay. However, it's true that unrooted the phone really sucks because the stock rom is laggy and slow. It's also true that the LG support sucks because we had to wait a long time for the official GB update.
Nevertheless, when you root the phone and remove the bloatware the phone becomes mush better and there are many customers roms and kernels which will improve your phone even more. You can find them in the dev section.
Don't worry about the dev support for our phone, most of the roms out here are updated daily, and there are many things to choose from.

I fully agree with the previous post by SP1996AC.....i have not regretted buying this phone at all....thanks the magic of our developers...there is always some surprise and some interesting thing added to the ROM for this phone....I am happy and i am sure you will be too....
So many Custom ROMs and so many features with stability and performance....IT ROCKS man...so jump on

Hello!
As always it is about your needs, how much money you want to spend etc.
IMHO the LG O2x is one of the best phones you get for the money.
Just in short - why did I buy a LG Optimus Speed...
1.) I wanted a fast Dual core Smartphone. At the time (end of Aug. 2011) there where others like HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S2)
2.) I wanted a the phone not to be so big (4" was a border I didn't want to cross) - therefore HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S2 didn't do the race...
3.) ...and the LG O2x was 140-150,-€ cheaper...
I knew the LG standard software is crap, but I hoped for the community to fix this and the community fixed it...
With CM7 and custom kernel the phone is blazing fast and everything works as expected.
The only thing not working perfectly is the FM radio - but honestly nothing I really need/use/miss...
So if you feel confident enough to root the phone right away and flash a custom rom, either closely stock(i.e. Guestes ROM or Django Manouche or whatever) or ASOP like CM7 you will get a fast Smartphone for relatively small money...
Even ICS is on the horizon and as CM7 is already working good - I can wait patiently...
IMHO - I wouldn't recommend using pure stock.

Thans, this certainly helped me a lot and i think i will buy one. In a while ( i first have to repair my pc )

Is a good phone for the price.

i just bought it one month ago, agree the first thing you have to do with the phone is to remove the stock lg rom, very slow and sluggish, in the coming future hopefully there will be ics fully functioning, with the required nvidia drivers that was due to be release

Hi pp, so many votes in favor of p990 & my thought about it also same, its not the perfect phone but price performance looks features makes it one of the best phone.
If u buy use custom rom with custom kernel, u will never regret.

not a bad phone for the price. esp with so many custom roms available.
