Is there any way to.increase on board ram - LG Optimus 2x

Hello
My query is slightly weird
I would like to if it is possible to increase on board ram on o2x to 1gb by opening up the phone and replacing the ram
I presume it is not that easy but could give a new life to o2x

No sorry, you cannot do that.

I believe there is a thread about upgrading RAM in the "Upgrading Unlocking and Modifiying" in either the android or general forums (please don't scream at me if I'm wrong).
Last time I went in that thread I think it was said that it was "theoretically " possible but it has yet to be done.

Tegra is a SoC, which means the RAM is built into the chip. You would have to solder out the chip and put one with more RAM into there. And I guess you would also have driver problems.

Hello,
I understand the soc stuff and that i need to solder memory but why there would be driver issues
Is it not like use what is there
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

Just forget it.
If the RAM is on the SoC, you can not upgrade that SoC, you would need a new one.
And there is probably no SoC, that uses the same pin layout and such.
The drivers are built into the kernel, so you would need to built your own kernel - just in case you have any drivers.
Look at the ICS thread ... we are still waiting for these drivers to get CM9/10 working.

That depends. No need for a2dp, then CM7 is the way to go. If you need a2dp then GR2 is the best.

Using cm7 for 6 weeks, it is a far better rom than original one. Very smooth, no bsod, but some fonctions are missing as said before. Don't forget to backup your contacts and so before changing.

Please tell me what are the functions that doesen,t work with cm7. If i will instal this rom, when the oficial update will be released, i will be able to update my phone with cm7 rom installed?

Install MIUI or CM7. Allmost everything works.

I'm starting a campaign to tweet LG every day with "Warning: DON'T BUY LG their service is awful. "worlds first dual-core phone" they are refusing to update software for is useless @LGBlogUK"
Will also post on every one of their facebook posts a similar note.
If everyone else does the same then it might shame them into getting off their arses and doing something about it. I doubt it but worth a try.

[Q] LG P990 All in One Hardware Checker

Hi,
as my O2X is approaching about a year and a half, it looks quite tattered on the outside. So Im just curious and would like to ask if there is any tool that can check if my O2X internal hardware components are working fine?
There is no such tool at useeend. Do you face any issue?

Lg 4X HD and Vu p895

Hello folks. I have been comparing the two devices and they seem to be pretty much identical hardware and software wise. The only difference being the screen resolution and format. They run on the same SoC , same camera modules , I imagine same modem too. Any development done for the 4x should be pretty easy to port over to the p895 , similar to what happened with the xperia X10mini and X8 ( The only difference between the two was the screen resolution. The two phones shared a subforum , resources and dev's). Hopefully this thread grabs the attention of others interested in the p895 and reveals a possible cooperation between users of both devices. I will look more into this after I get my phone back from service.
P895 have 4G LTE
Sorry about my bad English
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No they don't. I have one. It is the same device as the 4X. That is probably the Verizon version or some Korean only model. The international one uses the Tegra 3 SoC and has no 4G.
The xperia x8 was my phone before this. Damm life was easy back then(atleast when it comes to the bootloader)

yep, but we've had oc, uv,ext3/4-support,dualtouch, cwm, custom roms even with locked bootloaders
so why not here too? we 'just' need a skilled dev to work on it
We have a "skilled" dev to work on it. BUT, it would not harm if we had 50 skilled devs or even some help from LG to work on it. I mean, the 4X was never sold in massive quantities like the s3
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Both the Vu p895 and 4X didn't sell as much as other phones. Maybe it would be for the best to officially add the Vu p895 to the current subforum , more attention can't possibly hurt.

Or maybe the custom rom, etc from 4xhd could be applied on p895?

Anyone downgraded from a Note 2

Will I notice much of a difference
I don't use led notifications, hardly play large 3d games, and turn off air view
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I have the original Note and one of my colleagues uses the Note 2, to be honest apart from NFC there's not a whole lot of difference when your not playing 3D games and such that you mentioned, and if you flash the latest leaked 4.1.2 firmware, you get all the features like the Nature UX, Paper Artist, Muliscreen etc.. that the Note 2 uses, so i personally don't think you will notice much of a difference if any at all
Better screen real estate, youll notice that as a benefit of note 1. May be a little more sluggish also, but probably only nano seconds. As above poster sais, the jb leaks offer all the software benefits.

I think note2 doesnt have many differences with note1.the differences is just a quadcore procie,but that useless if you not playing intensiveb3d games right?and now almost all the software based feature of note2 can we see in leaked jb

That's it's O N E thing. It's it worth it for that?
Soon as we have the right kernel we can use swap 2 again to bump up ram. Plus o/c as well.I'm keeping mine and think updating every other model is plenty. It's just blogs paid to make you feel you are missing out which cause the doubts in what you have

Is dual core an obselete spec for phones????

I always love my note but here the prob is not the phone specs. But the apps thats are getting bigger and bigger day by day. Just like PC times. Just because of that now some basic apps that are with me since the start if this phone are slowing down my phone.
I think there should be a basic version of all apps and then the fancy version.
Facebook, viber and other apps are now taking like 80 mb each. Where as they were just about 8 to 10 mbs in ginger bread. I guess its time for me to put this note in my drawer and get a nee device.

You're still around here? *butt-clench*
What you are stating is a lack of RAM not processing power... And no nowadays there is still not that much wrong with a dual core. Android just isn't properly optimized to use all of its cores at the same time > that doesn't mean that it doesn't use all of its cores when it needs to to be powerful enough. But that means that, for example, when the load is 50% it is better for both cores to run on ~25% then one to be inactive and the other on 50%. Of course the single threaded performance of newer cores (A53 etc.) has increased, but that wasn't question
Phones are just like laptops, only more power constraint...
I know this case. Android closes apps with OOM and Memory Killer (something like that). Some apps could use to stay longer resident in the ram. The dificulty is that, for example, you could leave comfortably 10 tabs open in the browser, but if they use CPU power (even above 0.1%), the os will close the entire app. So no matter how much ram or cpu power you have, the power management will kick in?
We need a new kind of battery technology. Phones that don't need to recharge a whole month.

It might be your data partition filling up. 30% free space seems to be the minimum needed for speedy reads and writes. I used this method to increase the data partition to 6g.
