Hey all,
I saw an offer: used optimus 2x for 100euros.
Question is: Is optimus worth buying? What about custom rom support? Is it decent anymore?
Many thanks for your answers in advance

8100 Huawei Problem
when i was flashing every thing go ok but when the mobile started the only thing i see is
""""
sorry
the application
custom ABKs HIDDEN ( PROCESS COM.HUAWEI.ANDROID CUSTOM APK s hidden )has stopped unexpectedly . please try again
force close
and when i force close it comes again and again and never stops
plz tell me whats going wrong
..If I try any STOCK ROm..that stops half way...update fails..
Now I am STUCK what to do pleeez help..
I just picked one up very happy with it running cm7 only came from a blade tho so much better.
I think it's worth it.
It's a decent dual-core phone, probably not the best. but for 100
I'm not sure you'd get a better deal elsewhere. It overclocks easily
and Jellybean is going to come out and it should be interesting to see
what happens with our LG02X
worth buying WEEELLLL for me it was .... i got one for a lil less than 100euros, for a 2011 high class smartphone its golden (all accessory original box delivery inclued)
funniest i had a GT-I9000 he died, but the cheapest i could find beside that P990 was merely 50/100 euros more ... weird for a 2yrs old middle class smartphone (still the SGS is a wonderfull phone (normal one not S+ or other)
worth it? definitely!
the only thing that bugged me was Nvidia policy wich make the GT-I9000 more lively when it come to custom roms but XDA proved i can get ICS delicacy on mu P990 too
I managed to pick one up for £120 on eBay the other month. Quite chuffed with it so far. It's faster than my previous devices and the screen is much nicer.
I'm currently running Gingerbread MIUI but fancy trying something different.

is it worth it? it all depends on what you wanna do with it, how much patience you have with LG's (lack of) support, and whether you enjoy flashing nightlies/kangs that are still under development.
I bought mine second hand at a similar price as yours, and for me, yes, it was definitely worth it. It's my first smartphone and for the combination of reasons stated above, I have quickly became a flashholic and frequent visitor to the xda. As a results, I've learned a lot about Android phones and became a passionate loyal fan of them, as well as a grateful supporter if the awesome developers in these forums.
So, again, it depends on why you're shopping for one but it was worth it for me.

100eur it is very good deal for the performace which you will get.. Overclock up to 1.5ghz, smooth tegra2 cpu, on stock rom I had weak battery, now i use tamasek's rom and on 1.3ghz it is so much better, but still best results on CM9, but it is useless without a cam and hardware support, so if you want to wait for official ICS release, you should get it. But keep in mind, try to never drop it, it is definitely not shock proof

I said JB in general, mind you once/if the drivers are released for ICS, JB isn't that big a step up. Even if the right drivers aren't released, JB roms should come out for O2X once the source code is out in 2 weeks, whether some things work or not!
For that sort of price you could do a lot worse, I've had a rough relationship with my o2x with it being full of bugs but it's worth it for those times that it does what it's supposed to. The only word of warning is it needs flashing, the stuff LG put on there isn't great so i've warned a few friends off knowing i'd be there technical support when they inevitably brick it, but as your on here I'm sure you'll be fine with this side of stuff.

If LG launched ICS, the devs here on XDA would certainly make a modified version of that ROM, and then we would unleash the phone's real power...
...but since the people at LG are a bunch of retards, I don't think it's worth waiting for an official update...

I agree the display is beautiful... I've got friends using iPhone and they were still surprised how bright the display on this phone was....
Before using it, I had a HTC desire, and if people complained about the LG draining the battery too quickly, compared to my desire, the battery still lasts longer.
And so far, people complain about o2x rebooting for no reason, even if it did happen to me, so far it hasn't been a disturbance...
All in all, I think it is a great phone

I am currently using a Motorola defy but am looking at upgrade options. The 2x is by far the cheapest dual core regarding the plan i have in mind of taking with my provider. So, Im interested if someone could tell me what were your experiences after some time of use....i am mostly concerned by the reliability and the number of different problems that people seem to be having with this model hardwarewise...is the build quality really somewhat below standard od are those just som erotten apples?
Also, regarding rooting, flashing and all similar procedures, how would you rate the respective ease of those activities on the 2x comparing to other handsets?
Not recommended.. buy Samsung Galaxy S II..
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Yeah, if you want good dual core phone go for Samsung galaxy sII, HTC sensation or simply wait for nexus prime.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hell no.
if you want a cheap dual core, get the atrix
if you want to be absolutely satisfied with your phone, get the galaxy s2
wow, that bad or are you just being ironic
Guess it is going to be saving time then because the other options are at least 50% more expensive from my standpoint.
Optimus just needs more ram

There are better phones out there, I agree, but the 2x holds its own. I'd say go for it if you are on a tight budget.

We are not ironic, just do a search on xda, and you'll find 20 more topics about how ****y o2x is.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
No.
As others have pointed out:
Sensation (and XL) and Galaxy S2:
- Have much better versions of Android installed by default.
- Have better screens and hardware in general.
- Have companies who have improved their updating policy greatly.
Not to mention Nexus Prime, if the one who is asking is willing to wait.
Even after installing custom ROMs on this thing, I sometimes miss my HTC Desire with Oxygen ROM.
no due to the fact it's a LG phone. Spec wise the phone is great, stock software is ****. Other phones and companies seem to get updates out faster i would recommend anyone other one of them.
Like i keep saying.
Optimus 2x = Great hardware and built quality (GS2 built quality sucks IMO)
= Bad stock Rom.
So!
If your planning on installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod, its probably the best device for the price by a mile. Am more than satisfied with CM. It's super fast stable and responsive.
If your planning to stay on stock, dont bother.
Period
I am on stock euro open v10d,and it is flawless!
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
If you plan on using custom firmware I would recommend it, especially cm7 feels great if you can do without fm radio.
If you're buying a phone planning to stay on the default firmware, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
I can really recommend this phone. Good bang for the buck.
I have no BSOD. Maybe a reboot once a month.
Good camera. Latest software quite good.
I'm going to try CM7 next since it got A2DP support now.

Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
It's a good phone.
Stock software was really bad at first, latest Froyo (and baseband) works good but flashing newer custom ROM's based on GB leaks made it awesome
Our developers always have something better to work with, even without full support by LG or nVidia. I mean, just look what Samsung and Sony Ericsson did by recognizing community efforts and I believe LG will do the same, in time. After all, Optimus 2X was their first attempt to play hi-end game and was released only 9 months ago. So stop whining. HTC was on the same level just last year... Been there, done that - I had HTC Hero. Now they are praised, but last year only hated.
Never tried CM, there were too many setbacks at first, some are solved by now but really never had any need... Just waiting for Topogigi's 2.0 and new HP kernel. Don't expect too much from LG, follow xda devs and Paul from MoDaCo of course. Flashing is easy and device is un-brickeable
Yeah, I was thinking if I buy it to definitely flash some custom rom so this is good info, thx .
I can only recommendation the phone, i know five people with the ox2 and no one has hade any problems. I have tried cm and the leaked ginger but i am back on stock rom now.

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.

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!

I feel a huge difference in terms of performance, and the O2X had a habbit of running out of RAM constantly, making it very laggy (this could be helped somewhat using CM7).
And don't even get me started on the whole BSOD while charging issue, that is just annoying - not being able to trust your phone at all (even if the issue seems to be rare with V20s).
The Galaxy Nexus is also capable of playing pretty much any video I can throw at it - even 1080p high profile. The O2X lagged horribly with pretty much any video I tried, mainly because most of my videos are encoded in high profile h264.
But the thing that matters the most is not the hardware, its the software - it is just great to know that you will receive the newest version of the OS in a timely manner, not delays after delays. And the releases are not filled with tons of crap (like F-Secure on the stock ROM or w/e the name of it is).
But to be fair, the O2X is a great phone (on CM7, hoping for ICS soon so it can have CM9), and I would have kept it for myself it if not for the cheap Galaxy Nexus

If you put a dual core on a pile of crap you get o2x. Worst phone ever, i hope to get rid of it soon.
Well today I bought G Nex too. Updated it to JB and it works damn smooth. Now I just have to sell my O2X
Gnex was my first Android phone got it back in January then I got the o2x for my wife then a gtab 10.1 and recently a gnote.. Tbh gnex its an hyper boring phone.. That thing its unbrickable and every rom out there its the same boring thing.. Noone likes to "change the stock feel" same features in all roms and stable as hell..
Everything works as it should.. And the forum its boring as hell.. Same applies for gnote.. But I kept gnote stock with touchwiz since I have cm9 on my gtab and stock jelly bean on the gnex... So actually I like the stress here and gtab forums about waiting for the releases xD

I do not agree, the ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus might look pretty much the same on first glance, but the features are way different, for example Paranoid Android allows you to choose tablet mode and DPI per app.
Pretty much all ROMs built for the O2X are based on CyanogenMod.
02x is a good phone.. I just wish it wouldn't randomly lock up. I can't really ever trust it , in stressful situations like trying to open GPS while lost in Sydney traffic is sometimes is slow or freezes.
can't unlock from boot straight away because it might freeze etc.
I would like a more reliable phone.

Yeah, I plan to sell my P990 and get a Galaxy Nexus too... If ICS comes to the P990 by then I may change my mind, but if not, I'm not sure how I'll sell it.
"LG P990 'Optimus 2X' dual-core smartphone.
"Runs Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3), no promises of any more updates though.
"Performance is up there with the SGSII, but overheating and random reboots are normal."
...yeah, I wouldn't buy it.
/rant
My partner has an Xperia Pro. Apparently ICS is available (officially) for it? I've not seen it yet, and she's not willing to unlock it and get CM9 onto it. :/
Anyhoo, this forum is not the place to ask that.
...of course, that's at no fault of the community. Mostly it's LG's fault. Not necessarily for not releasing updates/drivers/etc, but for using awful, closed hardware.
Ah well. I'll hang around in the meantime. I'm not much of a dev, so I'm with the lurking crowd, complaining in these threads about LG and NVIDIA with the rest of y'all.
For those devs hanging around here, <3 you guise. Thanks for making this phone usable, maybe even enjoyable. ICS devs in particular, your patience (if any remains) is amazing, putting up with LG's silence and peeps like us demanding a 100% stable ROM. I imagine most of us understand the situation though. ^_^

Paranoid its also based on cm9.. All the features ARE the same with some slightly differences in ui.. All they have theme engine all the have toggles all they have integrated weather, all they have extended power menu, all they have t9 dialer, all they have twickable cpu/gpu settings, all they have color correction settings, all they have power savings options.. In the end they are all the same as for the tablet mode I have a tablet and it's not attractive to me in fact I like phone mode more and Wish I could get a paranoid android for tablet that turns the tablet into phone mode lol.. Well at least jelly bean brings that to the table I love the fact that the notification bar its in the top side of the screen just like the phone does.. So Google managed to consolidate even more the OS for tablet and phones making it looks and feels almost the same on both..

So the problem is that there are no problems with the Galaxy Nexus, which makes it boring?
I aslo sold my O2X yesterday and bought a SGS3, what a difference. Like going from a Fred Flinstone "car" to a Lamborghini Spyder.
This is a straight answer and for sure i get different opinions...
Well, i have a chance to buy a P990. But when i see a top phone with low prices i suspect something is very wrong with it... and low prices are not only for the phone i found, is to all P990, so the problem should be with all of them...
Can you please tell me if this is good or bad phone? Battery, wifi, calls, android version...
If i compare this phone to samsung galaxy ace or ace2 or w, which one to choose?
Thank you all.

the P990 is like heaven if you want to try custom roms
Even if you manage to brick it, just install a Stock-Rom with NVflash, and it is back alive in 95% of all brick-situations. The only way to destroy it is the hardware-side, like smacking it with a sledgehammer
Very large user base all over the world, and a wide bandwith of CustomRoms that run stable and nearly bugfree.
The official ICS-Stock-Rom is also running pretty good with it But if you ever used a custom rom, or tried one once, you never want to go back to stock on any device
When I ask about ICS is because I've seen some posts where users say that ICS update for this device comes with some bugs and that was worst than previous version.
But when I see all yours answers I believe that this is good phone and good choice.

Exactly, i think that it is S2=O2X>>>S>>>Ace, too.
Btw rvrosa, ICS is working quite good, CM7 is perfect (but oldie if you had tried JBo ICS xD) and devs are working hard to give us a good experience with 4.2.1 and 4.1.2... and yes, it is very easy to flash any rom, and its really hard to brick this phone (someone said 95% of briks are back alive? Well, i think its 99% of them :'D).
devs are working hard to give us a good experience with 4.2.1 and 4.1.2

I am running on ParanoidAndroid 2.5_2 by tonyp right now, which is CM10-based Android 4.1.2, and it feels stable I would recommend it to everyone for everyday-usage
Same is true for pengus77's CM10-Version for the new BL, it runs great

I will, I will... but first let me get the phone lol
by the way, as this is a used phone should i check anything in particular?
In case i get a locked phone, is it easy to unlock?
AW: [Q] LG P990 any good?
rvrosa said:
This is a straight answer and for sure i get different opinions...
Well, i have a chance to buy a P990. But when i see a top phone with low prices i suspect something is very wrong with it... and low prices are not only for the phone i found, is to all P990, so the problem should be with all of them...
Can you please tell me if this is good or bad phone? Battery, wifi, calls, android version...
If i compare this phone to samsung galaxy ace or ace2 or w, which one to choose?
Thank you all.

i think there are no real locked P990 out, are there?
they only are nation- or provider-linked for official updating, but there are really easy ways to change that

welcome to optimus 2x world.
compare to my friend Sony xperia P :
performance is absolutely win... xperia P laggy.... optimus 2x smooth... best for gaming
display : well, xperia P is the winner. because "bright pixel" . but, the optimus 2x display is not bad. for me, its good enought
body : xperia P is win. smaller, thinner . never mind...
ram : xperia P. oh come on... ram expander is everywhere. who's need big ram XD
i choose optimus 2x because its performance and for gaming experience
Well... at the end i didn't bought the LG... found a good deal and decided for HTC ONE X.
Thank you all.
If you get a locked phone, regardless of brand or carrier, it is easy to unlock - just identify the original carrier it was locked to, get the IMEI, submit that info plus $8 to cellunlocker.net, then boot the phone with any other SIM inside, and enter the code
Good job on getting the One X, great buy and way better than the P990... I like my P990 but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in 2013, even those on a budget, since the better models from late 2011/early 2012 would be at a decent price by then.

No... the phone is unlocked from factory
Was in different language but when i put my sim card he asked me if want to import my sim card configurations or something like that and... guess what? I get the phone in my language lololol
I've bought it very cheap for that reason and for some small scratches. The only ones that i have some scare are in the front of the camera... the worst case scenario is i have to change the phone case, but i don't think this scratches affect pictures as they are in side and not in the middle.
So far very happy with it :victory:
Hi,
I got this phone after i sold my 3GS.I really enjoyed the extra core and the hdmi out(i even sold my htpc as i didnt need it anymore!)
but missed the smoothness and attention to detail of the ios.
Having said that it took me 5 days of reading to jailbreak the iphone and around 10 minutes to root the 2x.
I kept it stock because life is short and i didnt want to loose warranty.
I agree with the friend who said its a galaxy s2 class phone.I was considering the s2 ass well but the lg had a better bang for a buck at the time.
IMHO there is nothing wrong with it except for the never ending progress of technology,its just not top dog anymore.
Hi all,
I just sold my LG optimus 3d P920 and looking to buy my next smart phone. After a while this one seems to be a good choice with nice performance/price where I live. But still, I have some questions:
_ Given the bad reputation of LG for late (or sometimes, even no) software update, is this phone any different? What are the current android versions this device can run? Are most people happy or disappointed?
_ How is the community's support for the 4x HD? Are there many custom ROMs? Are rooting/ installing roms/ reverting back to stock roms easy? Are there good CyanogenMod ROMs/MIUI ROMs or other AOSP ROMs for this device?
_ How is the overall user experience towards this phone? Is it worthy to buy? Is it good to use casually in real life?
I've read some reviews about this phone but those asked above are real life experience related, so I have to ask you guys here. Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
advice is don't buy this one, some of us still can not unlock bootloader which means you don't have tons of custom roms, for now.
and the memory is small, most big games running lag like ****.
i don't play games with my phone so i don't really care about this.

Well game lags have nothing to do with the amount of memory...its the kernel. With this said...the JB update via OTA will unlock the bootloader and with this custom Rom and kernels will come and the performance issues will be dealt with...this is the only problem with this phone...everything else is butter smooth...the screen is amazing ...the design and form factor are both great. Overall its a great phone with still untapped potential. Just wait till LG decided to effin update it, and the beast will be awoken.
Custom Roms and developer support will come with the official update...so it's just a matter of time. CyanogenMod as far as I know have been talked about ...but not until the phone is fully unlocked.
Rooting is available on ICS via the standard means but on the leaked JB beta but it's a bit dodgy.
So yeah great hardware, scrappy software support, but as soon as its updated and unlocked, I bet it's gonna be a beast of a phone.

I would say dont buy it. But it depends on the money you want to spend.

Welcome to our forum .
I was an Optimus 3D user too .
About root and recovery we have both of them . And about Dev's they are little at the moment but we have dexter someone like xbsall or maybe better he can port recoveries , kernels , ROMs .
The bootloaders WAS locked but now with JB it's unlocked .
This device is new compared with P920 so little devs here until now .
For me I see it exellent and the best for its price .

Go for it best price in this class very nice phone

My O4X have a lot dust under the screen The bootloader will be unlocked with the JB upgrade, so new roms are coming. The performance of the HW is good for every day tasks, I do not use it for games.
For a branded, advanced hardware and cheap device go for it.Just an heads up the camera has autofocus issues but works perfectly with other camera apps. Rest it is par with other action packed devices. But development of this phone is still in its toddler stage. So if you dare to wait like us then
Like people say: best screen, speed and hardware specs/battery for the price.
Only problem is lack of custom bootloader.. which isn't much of a problem for most users anyway. Camera isn't extremely good. But if you download another camera-app, that's easily fixed, so...
Another thing - you kind of don't actually want a phone to get updates every week. Lots of people on the internet make a huge buzz about how that is fantastic. But it's usually just proof that the entire program package is full of huge bloatware and bugs that need to be sorted out..
Just bought the phone, thanks a lot guys! Now to root and install recovery
If you want to play games, which is the main thing in buying a tegra 3 phone, you will get disappointed. Even temple run Oz lags on max graphs...

I owned this fone, and can share some of my experience with gaming on it. All of the gameploft games lag, som more some less, but you will find gems like batman, spiderman, Modern combat 3,4 lagy and unplayeble. I know that it's due to bad optimization from gameloft, but thats how it is. NFS most wanted is unplayeble, you can also see from the video above that it's running like 15-20 fps- it look smooth but its slow, just look at the time count how much one second takes. Asphalt 7 used to lag but with new update its fine. I used to play a lot of real racing 2 which playes buttery smooth, but real racing 3 lags badly. There is a workaround for real racing 3 to set low graphics and play smoothly.
Games developed for tegra plays fine with some added effects, but still on other devices you can add those ass well. All the other games are running fine, like those 2d and not so demandign 3d titles.
But sill for the price you'll get a great device witha perfect display, with removable battery and an sd card slot wthich a lot of devices from this category lack..But if you want to play demanding 3d games, especialy from gameploft, pay a few more bucks and get something else like s3 or nexus 4.
i have it for 270€ only... i replaced my Xperia S iwth this, because i think - tegra 3, great, gaming phone ... so another mistake...
I am too planning to buy this phone.. Hows the expericnce so far?
I guess, by now, lot of new ROMs are available?

Well some people have RIL problems, some people have GPS problems and its signal being reduced if headphones are plugged in. It's not a bad phone but some people have issues. As for roms you have some good cm based roms (and a very good official CM11) and we already have lollipop working good.
If I were you I'd choose a more recent phone like the Moto G or even a Nexus 5, unless you have a really really good deal.

Oh, there's a ton of ROMs (mostly KitKat at the time of writing, though more Lollipop ROMs are in the making).
It really depends on how willing you are to mod it and how much it costs by now. I would advice against buying it if you don't wanna mod it, there are phones with the same specs which are running stock L. Really, by now it depends on how much it costs. I wouldn't pay the €270 I paid for it now, I'm pretty sure there are better devices by now in that price range.

with the right custom rom and the right twiking this phone runs great, but..............................................
its all about the price, if you can get it for 100$ go ahead
if its more then this go for the one plus one, its only 300$ and it's absolutely a monster.
