[Q] O2X rom to G2X?

Any news on porting this Rom to the T-Mobile G2X? I liked the UI on the O2X and was wondering when or how it would be possible to port to the G2X

What port ??? what rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

judging from the thread title, he means a port of the O2x stock ROM to the G2x
don't think this will happen in the near future (or ever) as most ppl really want the "pure android" experience of the G2x and not the LG bloatware.
there's some porting of the G2x ROM to the O2x going on right now AFAIK but it's not easy as there's some slight H/W differences (mostly radio related). if this procedure gets figured out the other way around shouldn't be too hard then
the devices are still too new, give the devs some time ^^

You wouldn't want the O2x rom on your phone anyway - it's rubbish.

Apparently there isn't much difference between them other than cosmetics anyway.

Yes I did mean if the O2X could be ported onto the G2X, hopefully it will happen, thanks for the insight.

The only difference is the partition layout, so a ROM cooked for the OP2X will just have to be ported to the G2X with a couple of lines of code, or vice-versa.

LG opt 2x and nexus s. PLease advice..

hi.. i'm from nexus s..
i'm really reconsidering to buy LG optimus 2x because i can trade it with LG O2x without paying a single extra cent...
I want to ask all your opinion.. Is it worth it to trade google direct support with LG opt 2x superior hardware ?
what are the plus and cons of LG o2x. ?
How is the devs support with LG O2X..
Thanks in advance

when the O2x gets a stable and usable CM7 and/or a really good 2.3.3 stock ROM, it's worth the hassle. until then, stay with your Nexus S.

Thanks, what are the known issue in Optimus 2x ? Nexus S itself is not stable, still rebooting sometimes in 2.3.4 and have blank screen sometimes..
hmm, i have 24 hours to decide whether i will trade in or not..
any other opinion ?

24hrs should be enough to read the forum

I had an i9023 for a bit, the P990 is better in my opinion (else I would still have the NS) stock ROM is terrible, but CM7 is not. It's still buggy as it's early days, but gets better with each nightly.

Have a look around this forum and you will see lol.
TBH I havent had any real issue with mine other than my sd card coming up as Unavailable and more battery drain/very hot where the sd card sits because of this issue. As long as you do a soft reset (holding PWR + VOL UP), it sorts it out.
I had a Desire before and have had this for about 3 weeks and couldnt be happier with it.. Sadly, it seems there are a lot of people having issues with the standard rom.

so both of u saying LG stock ROM is unstable and custom ROM is much better than stock ROM. And currently it seems like CM7 nightly is the best choice around.
Is installing CM7 will automatically upgrade O2X into gingerbread ? because as far as i know, CM7 is based on 2.3.3 (in nexus s i directly jump from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 after installing CM7)..

CM7 is currently 2.3.4 (GRJ22)

Well, you probably already bought your phone, I just want to say that I coming from a Nexus S to Optimus 2X and, IMO, was the best exchange I made. Nexus S is great, but o2x it's even better.

Would you reccomend the optimus 2x?

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.

Do contacts link with facebook contacts? (profile picture, status update...)
Witch one would you buy: optimus 2x or xperia arc ??

It is a great phone, but if you want good service , then buy another one ...

Don't buy lg, no updates
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.

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

That for the g2x and since the nvidia hal drivers havnt been released i seriously doubt it works very well.

better go for the s2..lg support is sh*t

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...

ok, so i think i will choose atrix, since sg2 is too expensive for me

Yeah common trend, people ask for advice then ignore it and buy whatever they want. Perhaps this thread will be useful for those whose stumble across it on Google.

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!

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 )

I'm hoping to buy one this weekend

I have one!
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.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

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

Congrats to those who liked the phone and bought it..
