LG Optimus Black vs Google Nexus One - LG Optimus Black

Hi! A friend of mine offers his nexus one + money for my OB, and, seriously, I dont know what to do, 'cause hardware in OB is way superior but there are so many cool roms for nexus one...
What is your opinion?
Thanks in advance :highfive:

the nexus. it's a google phone thus it has exclusive updates (see jb) and there is a bigger community developing for it.

But on the otherhand try to find out why he is opting for the OB
And if you play games, keep it unless the nexus becomes faster using custom roms
Anyways you see

I think the looks of the OB are awesome, so is the screen. The nexus one only is better for the software development...dunno, its hard to decide. The point is that I dont play games, so the gpu is not a deciding factor, but the smoothness of the ui and the different android versions, sense ui...

Keep your ob

Yup...waut for others to reply
If you dont care about software tweaking...go ob
And by tweaking, flashing nearly everyday, the phone is not used for its purpose
We do that for performance and theme mostly...id say stick to ob
Use it as it should have been.
.email, calender, facebook etc
Tweaks will come sooner or later

Thanks 4 your opinion! Well, I think I'm finally stickin' with the OB, lets trust in the great developers we have in xda!

nexus One = small screen, Pentile, bad camera, etc

nexus= lots of custom roms

Even with the advantage of a bigger comunity, I think that the Nexus One is a little too old.

IS the 2x any good?

Just got a new 2x off ebay and gets delivered soon but from reading on here it seems it riddled with issues. Does anyone actually like their phone?

Its a good phone considering its value. You just need to use custom roms to make it better.
The original shipping ROM was horriffic, which is why the phone is so cheap now. The official GB update is much better, as are custom ROMs.
its just a honest phone somewhat cheap for its functions. but has it cronical problems. if you are familiar with android modding the phone shows up as a awesome option!
Mod the phone and you will be 10x happier.
Currently I'm using Galnet MIUI with swiftextreme 1.5GHz kernel running at 1.2GHz for the most part and I couldn't be happier. Also I'm using the Suave HD theme

Optimus 2x is awesome hardware wise for its price..The stock software sucks a bit but if you willing to play a bit and follow some guides in this site you can be really happy!

[Q]Android 5 :D

Heeeelooooooow
I heard that the android 5 is coooomiiiing at the end of this year.. and i wanted to tell for who doesnt know this.. and for those who allready know, what would it looks like.. i mean the ics is now awesome with all the gestures and pro features.. what would be the name of android 5 witch company will take the lead.. and how much time will we wait until android 5 is available for optimus black users.. ?' All the good stuff

It will be called jellybean
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
i thinkt that original ICS isn't coming to OB. While LG says that it does.
but i just can't believe it, just a hunch..
guessing that android 5 will be more and better i think it's going to be to much for our OB's hardware.
Android 5 is comming waaaaaay to early

Well as per leaks I have seen so far...Google will be revealing nexus tab at Google IO and jellybean would be version 4.1 not 5.
I|0 is going to anounce it later this month, and yes, I think JB would be 4.1, kinda like Froyo was 2.2 and GB 2.3

Known problems for Galaxy Tab P7300?

Hello!
I want to buy a used Galaxy Tab P7300and I wanted to know if there are some specific problems for this device: some touchscreen issues, some display rendition issues, anything. Something similar like "black clipping" specific for galaxy note and galaxy nexus...anything
I'm waiting for your answers..
I do think it is worth highlighting the lag/smoothness which sometimes occurs when swiping between screens in TouchWiz. Other launchers help and hoping this will be addressed with ics update. This was my only concern with it out of the box. Search lag or similar in these forums and will see a few hits.
Btw, I still love mine and reckon this is the best form factor (few products in its league).
With the ics update the 7310 it is quite perfect. Super smooth and fast. Zero lang switching between homes.
I believe that the ics for the 7300 will work just like that.
The only thing that you should consider would be the nexus 7 vs the 7300.
Cheers.

Thank you for your answers. I appreciate.
I don't take the Nexus 7 in consideration because of the size (I have already a Galaxy Tab P3100), because it doesn't have a camera, a LED flash and the 3g facility.
Thanx again!

The con of the nexus 7 is indeed the size... although I just find it small when it comes to video... to the rest is quite great.
The pro is the update... it already runs JB... We are just getting ICS... a OS that came out almost a year a go...
Your choice
I just found out samsung all share and I'm overwhelmed! #win

You have the white 4x? I have the black one and you don't notice that black space. Also the latest software improves camera focus quite a lot. Still bad on close up shots but the app cameramx is fixing that close up focus issue quite nicely. Also latest update improves battery. That's the major improvements I can think off. Yes screen is nice. I think it beats the s3 screen and is closely to the hox screen.

yeah, i have the white one.. i figure that the black spot was not to bee seen on the black version. the screen is so impressive. the whole phone is. i think i didnt expect it because it is so cheap compared to the more expensive quad cores. couldnt be more happy
I honestly always thought that lg makes good phones. Even the 2x speed was a great piece of hardware the software was bad. LG made everything better on the 4x and the optimus g is great and also the nexus 4. Those are all lg and since lg has a bad reputation that makes their products cheaper but not less impressive. I didn't keep my s3 or hox. And sold them and got the 4x. The screen is better then the s3 and has not the burnin issue. And the hox has a way worse battery. The only thing is still no software update and no fully root. LG is not good in updating phones.

no doubt. The 4x is my first LG smartphone. i had many phones, ut this phone is so amazingly quick. i can do everything without to mutch lag. i have som problems in games? i dont know why. but i have some small lags. i tried gta3 for the first time on this phone today, and it frozed in the first mission. weard. but i hope we get unlocked bootloader soon, cause this phone with jellybean would be amazing. i remeber my galaxy s2 with jellybean rom was very fast, so i imagin this will bee too. not that it is slow now, but it never gets good enough i guess i contacted lg the other day, and they only said that the jelly bean is on its way. nothing about when or so.
As for gaming. Install if u r rooted something like setcpu set it to 1500 MHz without any lowest 1500 MHz as welland performance and games should be performing fine.
For jelly Bens is supposebly coming 1st quarter of 2013

Check the game on screen resolution again, makes a BIG difference

Can it take anymore ?

Developer community, hi, I had the S1 for about 2 years and still do, its very good phone yo know , however, what ever I do its too slow! I'm running Android 4.2.2 with over clocked CPU and 400+ of RAM, and sometimes when I leave a small app to main, it take sometime to load the launcher,so what's wrong? Was Google right when it stopped the Nexus S updates at 4.1.2 because it can take any farther? Does project better even exist? The fastest ROM I had ever install was ICS RC2 which worked perfectly (I could run MC3 at background then leave and do some thing else, then want back and its where I have lift it) but I had datadata problem and I had to try something els. Know a days ,some new flagships had less specification than S1 and work smother!, in short words: can I make my phone faster ?
All thanks and appreciates to whom worked to develop this great phone.

Yup, Some LG and Sami phones came with the same or less specifications

Well, the more recent phones that come out right now for the low-end market are running alot newer chips than the S1 has. In my opinion, you shouldn't go to far with flashing newer versions of Android. But on the other hand, everyone wants to be on the most recent version of Android. Google had a reason for not pushing 4.2 to the Nexus S. Other manufacturers don't bring out updates for newer phones (for no reason), but Google had a good reason, because the Nexus S' hardware is outdated.
Unfortunately i doubt you can get your smoothest experience in 4.2.2.
If you want pure smoothness you should try a custom 2.3.7 as that would be ideal although i reckon 4.0.4(cm9 base) would do quite a decent job as well.
You have to try out different ROMs and see what best fits your needs.
Is a way that i use it and is good and smooth
But if expect like sg3 no it's not exactly like that but it's close. And don't disturb u
Cause our hardware's are a part of history
I installed 1.2gb apk and work smooth mostly software not game
First;
Buy a sd card high class 10
Format internal storage
Install cm latest version 4.2.2 with Odin
Install kernel like fishear
And set it up
Install cyanDelta
Install auto memory killer and set in optimum value
Install Roehsoft apk and make virtual memory on your external SD
Also never install any luncher cause it's own luncher is very light
and enjoy it
is good for daily works And smooth

Of course 4.2.2 isn't going to be perfect. Pushing Project Butter onto our phone was a feat in itself. The smoothest 4.2.2 I've tried is Slim Bean, which really is pretty amazing. But don't be surprised about the fact that the phone can't handle Jelly Bean as well as it should. Its 3rd year anniversary is approaching fast.
Its still a wonder our single-core can handle it fine.

Hei man I dont know what roms are you using but try thinkingridge stable by aways and the c-rom mix 18...everything is stable at 55 frames per second in the ui...and ofcourse your phone will slowdown if you put a lot of stuff in it...its normal...you cannot pretend that is going to be fast as when you fresh install the rom..my girlfriend's iphone 4 is stock,no mods but still it lags a lot more than my VERY OLD I9000 ...
By the way anyone can give me some advices on a gingerbread rom?a kickass one? I saw a couple of releases in this days...they should be good considering that the developers had plenty of time to improve stability and performances...
Thanks
Speed depends on the kernel/rom your using and the way your using it. My suggestion is GamerzRom and use the greenify app. Try it and you ll see. Ive never had a faster rom!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
whatever you decide to do dont use task managers...they just mess with the android sistem and android knows better than you when and how to kill a process...
True i found out that task managers dont really work well
Greenify works the best and alot of people use it

Hey there,
I HAD the same problem. The 2/3 changes I made was
1.UNDERClock to 800mhz (less stress on phone and less lag
2. Use Nova launcher as default
3. I am running slim bean latest and its fantasiltic
My phone has never run better
Stay away from themes though.
FYI I am a massive app hoarder so you may have a hundred apps on your phone and blame it on that but probability 9/10 isn't.
Hope I helped
