[Q] Planning on getting Optimus; just a few questions!

Now i know the sgs2 is supposed to be the best, but its also the most expensive. whereas the LG has a way better price point. so i was wondering a couple things; it would surely lead my to getting the Optimus.
anyway a couple questions;
1. is it true that there are models with 850/1900 3g bands? i've read around but nothing solid.
2. how hard is it to root? read it up on the dev threads and 1-click works fine?
3. when you use cyanogenmod, does it lag and FC like the stock firmware?
4. how's the camera quality using the 1080p 30fps mod? does it skip frames/double frames?
5. how is your battery life? please give 3g and screen on details.
sorry if these questions are really redundant and have been posted before, just getting to wits end as my N1 died and i can't decide this whole duel core debacle.
thanks to those who answer!

1.) No clue sorry :|
2.) One Clicks Work fine It's easy to root it with SuperOneClick for example
3) I wouldnt recomment CM7 roms, but rather Froyo optimized Modaco Roms.
I'm using the Fr17 Vanilla edition and all i can say is, its the most stable thing ive ever seen on a mobile phone. I didnt even have lag on stock either, it depends on how new your phone is.
4.) Working great, no skipping or smearing
5.) Fr 17 Vanilla Edition, Using stock baseband. Im using the phone on a daily basis, a few calls, lotsa Whatsapp, 10-15 sms a day, 2 hours of browsing when im on the train, my battery lasts 2 days. Pretty good if you ask me, especially considering its a dual core phone.
Dont expect a long battery life when playing Tegra 2 optimized HD games though, but thats self-explanatory

why would you say not to use CM7 roms?
thanks for the rest of the info!

In my opinion, CM7 builds arent really stable, just see the comments in the specific rom threads.
I don't want to badmouth all of them though, some people have issues with them, some dont. I can only speak for myself and im more than happy with modaco roms

For me is a lot more stable de CyanogenMod rc7.1.0 then the stock LG roms ... with officila rom, I got randoms reboots and freexes almost daily and now with the cyanogen, since the 27 that is was published i haven't had a single reboot or freeze!!! ... also the phone is faster.

According to my box it says WCDMA 900/1900/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900
So 1 is a yes? Or is there some way i can check?

hi
u can see here too if u want i was planning to buy did not due to some personal fin problems
see this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128045

hmm im thinking of buying this phone but im very my confused because of its reboots problems ,,,! can this problem be sorted out ? or will it remain same ?

another question. really important... does the optimus 2x (specifically) work on AT&T(aka Rogers) 3g bands? cause i know for sure the g2x doesn't... but the optimus has that 1900 band. so just want to know if it works for any of you on AT&T/Rogers.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

There is a confusing model of Optimus 2X, that supports the frequencies you want.
It's still an Optimus 2X, but it is apparently a P990h, not a P990, so be careful what you flash on it.
Also, CM7 is brilliant compared to stock.

Hello

Well, I'm an x8 user, I'm gonna change the phone in some months and wanna ask if i really should buy this device
I know too much about roms cuz well I'm developing one
I wanna ask you guys, should i use it in stock and then wait for official ics or stock roms suck?
Does this phone really need all the stuff to work smooth? I mean custom kernel, rom etc because well its dualcore phone and looks that in some post i read, my phone works better
Thanks

It's an awesome phone with cm7

well the stock rom it's not the best out there obviously... blatware apps, poor kernel make it a bad choice if you have alternatives.
for me, the best one is CM7, even better with a custom kernel like the Etana one. lots of tweaks and optimizations if you know what i mean

Hi leroy.
I will give you my personal unbiased opinion about it.
I bought the phone and it came with stock froyo (android 2.2). And I thought it was fine. I could play games with no problems at all. Didn't experience any of the problems that lots of people were complaining about (SoD, bad battery life, etc). I "test-drove" it for three weeks more or less, just to make sure everything was working fine, and it was.
And then I flashed temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel. And I do not regret it one bit. The phone is smoother, more responsive, and battery life is better by at least 25%. Unfortunately I did not do a quadrant benchmark before flashing, so I don't have a before and after comparison, but the phone "feels" much better, no doubts about it.

I tend to believe that what differs from phone to phone is the "bloatware" that carrier dependent phones have installed. I bought an unbranded phone, so I am guessing that is the main reason why I was such a happy customer to begin with, even with stock ROM. A stock unbranded ROM, I might add.

Sorry But i dont know what bloatware mean
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread

My definition of "bloatware" is basically crap software that your carrier (for example vodafone or movistar or whatever) preloads in your branded phone (phone sim locked to your carrier). This software is usually very bad software poorly developed that has memory leakage and drains your battery.
This might be a very biased opinion from me, but usually I like my operating systems to be as clean as possible, only with the software/applications I really need and use. This usually makes for a very fast, responsive and efficient system.

Well, so installing custom rom will replace craping software or just similar unlocking phone?
Also i have hear this is a great phone for developing, but why there's not too much moves as in our threads? Couldn't it be because the phone doesn't need too much developing?
Another question, will official ics fix that or i should upgrade to cm9?

Trust me, the devs for the O2X are awesome. They seriously do great jobs and even create miracles for this device. Just about a month ago, CM9 wasn't available. Many things didn't work, but now thanks to awesome guys like RC and Owain, they made it available to us.
If I were you I wouldn't wait do the official LG release. The GB release was way overdue. LG promised release dates they didn't met and I think this will also happen with ICS. LG said that they would release ICS during the 2nd quarter of this year. I bet that LG won't release it then but probably in 2013 .

I don't know if there is HDMI out or not in CM, because I've never used it while using CM, but it does work fine in MIUI.
And what do you mean by "8 MP is 6 MP"? I thought the resolution just stays the same. Either way, the stock camera app has been ported over to CM7 based roms, and it works just as good as in stock ROM.
Honestly, using MIUI (Wiui to be exact), the experience is alot better, and there is almost no feature sacrificed compared to stock

There are batteries you can buy with more capacity than the stock battery that comes with the phone.
However, I can easily get two day battery life with the stock battery, so personally I don't understand why so many people complain about their battery life. As far as I know it's about the same as other smart phones.

You're asking in the wrong place mate, go and talk with some LG representatives or in their forums (if they have).
O2X have ICS already, look for CM9 (CyanogenMod9) and try it, is in beta though not everything works and problems are to be expected.
Finally; dude this is NO freaking yahoo answers, twitter or facebook so stop spamming with threads.

2nd quarter 2012 is the only date given so far.

I ve naively installed cyanogen 9 with ics after going in loops and not being able to find simple information on front camera functions and why it is not working with skype.
welllll, let me put it this way
I would not recommend the above mentioned rom to my worst enemy
the half baked thing may be ok for people who are developing these things but for normal users it is just plainly and simply a big heartache , and apart from few different coloured user interfaces there is nothing that a normal user could call useful or good for everyday operation of the phone.
I lost my contacts at least 10 times in the span of 3 weeks that it is installed,
it restarts randomly, just sitting there on the table and next minute you notice silly blue starting animation twirling around,
video camera does not work,
normal camera works but freezes as soon as you try to install some other camera apps,
gallery freezes from time to time,
default music player does not work, I could only play music from es file explorer,
gps apps do not work or work randomly, you can not rely on them if you go somewhere.
hooking to free wi fi hot spots is a nightmare,
and this is just the start of my problems.
I really cried once after the phone just decided not to work out of the blue showing logo screen and not much else.
So, if you want your phone doing most of the normal things, DO NOT install untested half baked software lingering around.
Install them only if you understand inner workings of android system and can fix things that go wrong daily on the fly, because, I guarantee, things go wrong with this ROM when least expected and when you really need your phone.
Im currently trying to understand or for someone to explain to me how to return to gingerbread version because Im at my wits ends with this cg 9

You have to use NVflash to flash the original ROM from LG.
I'm not really familiar with this forum, so I don't know yet where to find the specific instructions, but just searching for "NVFlash" should give you the right results

thanks for info, I had a look into nvflash and one of senior members on these forums have recommended to be very careful when using it so Ill stay clear from that
and as I learn more about android system Im staring to realise that most of this so called development and upgrading is trial and error and should not be performed or used by everyday smart phone users.
Mu mum has lg p500 which has stock gingerbread upgrade on it and the phone is rock solid , not missing a beat for over a year, everything working perfectly .
I bought my phone because of my mums experience but made a huge mistake by thinking that upgrading android system is as easy and simple as you would upgrade a windows system.

Well its not that complicated - but a little bit more work than upgrading windows.
but in the end you can always restore the original system - like windows

Nvflash is not that complicated if you just read all the steps a couple of times. I have done a nvflash a couple of times and has worked fine for me every time.

No rom is perfect or completely bug free - even stock isn't. So the choice of which rom you'll use depends on some tradeoffs. If you can live with some forced closes and the lack of hardware acceleration isn't an issue, I'd say go with CyanogenMod 9, since ICS brings a fantastic user experience. Otherwise, CyanogenMod 7 is a great choice, but it lacks some convenient stuff from stock, like HDMI settings and some cool widgets, for example, but is definetly faster.

If you are looking for stable, a stock rom free of brand software, but it's always recommended to try and see what fits you. You have some gb tweaked roms, CM7 and WIUI which is the one I'm currently using (and loving), have had some randoms reboots but it's still worthy.

More stable i think CM 7 but more costumized are cm9, you choose

thx ppl, for me bugs are ´t a force close ... aplication not responding .. or something like that is for example gps don´t work, radio, batery drain.... etc

Dont pick any CM rom at all, the rom's cant handle a baseband that work 100% so you get a lot of system FC and statusbar is gone, and also a lot of instability and battery drains.
If i were you go for stock, the AmnonRom V20q

If you have a normal 2x go for 420, my mate says he waited a year for a working baseband and it is the only one working for him.
People who are saying that CM is stable on 2x is ether A. Protecting the dev so he can continue working, or B. lieing to make them self feel better(or pick a reason).
Too many tests have been done on the basebands and none of last year basebands work.

ok i go try this one, ther no vercion 2.3.7 working good?
for the post i see ICS is working like crap..

There is no baseband for ICS so you will loose signal and voice in phone will be bad.
And ofc no HW drivers for ICS.

On your "CM is stable" choices, you forgot to add a third option:
C. smart enough to know what they're doing. And are enjoying their O2X alot.

CM7 runs great, CM9 runs good.
I will never go back to stock.
@dinmorerbedst:
It sucks that you have had that bad experience but this doesn't mean others have that, too. I don't know if you're just unlucky and got a bad phone or didn't read enough to flash the right CM builds.
Most people are very happy with Cyanogenmod builds and they run great for them. Period.

I hope you all who have updated your device would care to share a little bit more than "it's great" or "it's crap". This thread now seems to get a little bit better, but it could be really good if you guys could open up a little bit what did you do etc. so that it's easier to determine what worked / what didn't.
I'm frustrated with LG at the moment and want to get a custom ROM. Therefore I do really appreciate your comments and experience as some of you have been already experimenting in this area. Now I'm just trying to figure out what did each of you do and I'm willing to write / update instructions what to do for this device if I get it to work.

dinmorerbedst said:
I have personaly tested all the roms i could get from this forum on 2- 2x phones+ all the basebands.
I can tell you that CM9 is the most unstable rom to date.
If my phone's hardware is bugged why is it the same for 2 versions of the mobile?
It seems like you dont look at your status bar very often, cause "crash bands" that will say pre 2012 basebands crash on both mobiles, and on another of my friends P990.
3 devices, 2 identical(P990) and 1 SU660 with the same problems all over, they need the 313(SU660) and 420(P990) basebands to work, that cant be faulty hardware, that is faulty LG.
Ril dont matter at all, i cant see difference and log cat reports the same, nothing different.
You guys can bang your head to my reply's but 2 months of hardcore testing should speak for it self.
TBH i could care less about people that dont even test they phone and just state CM7 works fine, when it dont.

I'm on CM9 since arcee's sk, and though it's not perfect it's fast becoming pretty stable, to me at least. My baseband is 405 with matching ril and all works fine, no reboots, no bsod, no nothing. Tested nova hd, owain since 1 to 74, even MIUI V4, and all works really well.
Also temaseks CM7 is the most stable rom i tried, so either you have 2 faulty devices or i am one lucky bastard.
Just my 2 cents.

CM9 is quite fine for everyday use, just video makes problems. That's why I am on temasek's CM7. Flawless, and I am a heavy user.

I am also on Temaseks CM7 and enjoying it a lot. Especially since the latest overclocked kernel
I didn't bother to read the whole thread, but basically what I did was:
1. Root phone
2. Install Clockwork Recovery
3. Flash latest Temasek rom
4. Flash latest Temasek kernel, which can be found on the same servers as his roms.
I used to miss my (stolen) Galaxy S when I got this 'inferior' 2X. It was slow and development wasn't as plentiful. Then I got AlienRevolution, also a CM7 rom. It was good, but development stopped. Then I tried the ICS roms too, but had random problems, slowness and usually no GPS fix. Along with the 'no video' thing, it was a no brainer to go back to CM7.
I don't miss the Galaxy S anymore. The 2X is stable, fast, GPS fixes are rediculously fast (10 seconds, no matter where I am). Battery life lasts me more than 24hrs (but thats with 2G, using 3G only when necessary). Friends who adore their Iphone4 are also impressed by the snappyness, so it's not just me. Infact, I'm so happy with this stuff that I won't buy a new phone for at least a year. How's that?
To be fair, I never tried the modded stock roms.
edit: Apperently some guy in this thread is bad mouthing CM7 and its users. Quite weird that 100's of happy users all lie to themselves to keep a developer happy... Anyways as for stability, I use my phone for gaming and benchmarking, and not once has it crashed or FC'd.

CM9 is quite fine for everyday use, just video makes problems. That's why I am on temasek's CM7. Flawless, and I am a heavy user.

What do mean by that? do you test out the basebands or are you just trash talking about stuff you know nothing about?
Video is not the only problem for these "kangs"
Lets see... this forum is basicly dead, what i mean is that alot of people already left, and you guys that are left are talking nice and backing up the devs, when they work is not really all that good and most of the time the so called "fixes" dont fix anything.
All cause you are scarred they might leave or get a better phone.
And btw why use 218 ril as standard for CM roms when i and others get data loss and most of the time no signal at all, when using old basebands and they obsolete ril's.
I mean come on guys so many basebands with unstable data connection and you guys say it is working? i have to lol at you guys, it is the same in the goverment :
"It is working not perfectly but just.... so it is fine."
That is your attitude and it is lol, really.

I pretty much echo JohnnieDarko's sentiment, followed those four steps (but only installing vanilla CM7 7.2 RC2) and my phone felt like it was a totally different thing. Heck I didn't even match my RIL yet (725 BB but on the 4xx RIL or some stupid thing).
If you're so fed up with this, why even bother posting in the forum anymore? Just move on...

I have non of your problems. Data connections are stable, with CM9 as well as CM7. No idea what you did with your phone(s). You either live in deepest Tadjikistan and it's simply your network that fails ... or you should reconcider this awful habbit of making your phones swim in your garden pond. It WILL damage the hardware.
As I said: Video is a problem still with CM9. That's it.

I use NOVA HD rom but it bugs a lot and updates a lot but it is pretty cool and I like it.

Is it worth doing root in LG L7 P705 or buying a new cellphone?

It happens that my LG L7 is too slow,since it has little RAM.I thought of doing root on my phone,but i know little about how doing it and i am not certain if it would be a good idea,or if should just buy another phone.
What i ask you is to give me some answer,showing arguments since what happens to you do not necessarily will happen with me.If it worths doing root,then i would like to know which ROM you used also.

As a long time user of this phone, all I can say is better buy a new phone.
this phone is way outdated and can't do anything to speed it up even if you root and use custom ROMs.
But you can use this as spare phone for playing or flashing custom ROMs for fun or education as well.

I just wanted to ask you if you have ever tried custom ROMs like Xoptimus,cyanogemod or the european version.Because you can see some youtube videos of them showing high performances in l7.

I haven't tried that xoptimos, idk what is that.
I've tried most of custom ROMs here on xda. And for me the best ROM was vanir 4.1.2 and unfortunately no one was able to have a copy of it.
Right now I'm using cardoso cm10, my daily driver.
Like I've said, you can op for a new phone as your main phone. And make your l7 as your experimental phone for flashing custom roms. By that you can test a lot of custom ROMs. And only you can say which phone is really cool and good ROM.

my 5 cents...
Probably not worth it.. unless you have the time on your hands to play with it....
Base on my experience.. I had a hard time to find the right software ( stable and working) for this phone LG L7 p705.... in technical world.. this phone is a grandpa now....
You might gain some speed back and slightly better performance out of this "grandpa" phone by factory resets/ cleaning caches and partition..reinstalling ROMS.. BUT.. I have spent a lot of time searching and trying.. almost bricked this phone in those procedures... MY Lg L7 p705 is now working slightly faster...BUT.. my 5cents>>> buy a newer phone!.. cheers...
Maybe, some experienced "phone flashers" and developers might help you here...or youtube and a lot of google search might work for you as it did, to some extend, for me....
get a new phone...

My last hope for legacy devices was when real ART support never manifested into a useable ROM. CM11 runs great in ART mode, but there's virtually no development for it or even Xposed compatibility. But that would be my suggestion: Find a CM11 ROM that will run in ART mode, but don't expect much customization.
Update: On a positive note, I left my S3 out in the rain and am using my L5 while it dries out. I don't mind using it at all and performs better than would be expected given the absurd amount of time I've spent setting up the old Carbon CM11. It has better phone/talk quality than Samsung by far, and can have a clear conversation while driving with the window down. But can't fix the kernel wakelocks preventing deep sleep. I don't know why I admire this cheap L5 better than my clunky S3, I just do.
More positives: With custom kernel you can overclock several hundred mhz, run memory tweaks to gain nearly 1gig with zram compression, then if you use that up have another 1.5 gigs of virtual memory. Then, up the read ahead on your data partition. I only notice minor lag on my single core system compared to faster dual cores with 4x physical ram.
