Hello,
I want to ask optimus 2X owners something,
I read a review on engadget
And they say that the optimus 2X's software is laggy and that the memory is not enough
Is that true? or can I buy my optimus 2X without any doubt?
Thank you

No, retail software 2.2.2 is stable and not laggy.

lag?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Mine is rooted, some applications frozen - I have noticed nothing i would call lag.
Well, I disagree with recent sentiment in this thread.
It does lag.
No terribly so but it's patently obvious that some processes don't use SMP and as a result lag is evident.
Whenever the package manager is accessed or a notification comes in the phone seems to go into serial processing mode and effectively hands processor priority to the system app.
In my opinion this is software related and is fixed in Honeycomb - these lags are not apparent on a Moto Xoom (2.3) but they are apparent on a Moto Atrix (2.2).
Examples:
Play a CPU intensive game and force a notification, watch it momentarily stall.
Queue a lot of Market downloads and wait till they start "installing" - try using your phone.

My homescreen is almost always laggy.
Weather animation lags to.
The phonecall quality is also bad.
Its not what i've expected from a dual core phone and
Im not 100% happy with this gadget.
laggy? I would say it got some certain hangtimes on occasions...
at 1st, there was no lags, now I had it for about 14 days, and its filled up with a lot off apps. I get hangtimes when installing a new app. That was not the situation in the beginnning. Also got some hangtimes when exiting some apps on occasion.
I found a workaround though.
I rooted, installed autokiller (not a usual task killer as you might think of) and Cache Cleaner NG.
Also, I installed Titanium backup, and "froze" or uninstalled unnessecary apps, stock apps etc. Now I got a lot more free ram, and a quicker ROM.
I use Zeam Launcher and I have frozen LG launcher.
But don't get to worried. When android 2.3 comes around, it will be much faster, as 2.2 doesn't support dual core + 2.3 is much more optimized.
Battery life + user experince will increase tenfold or more
The best phone till date in my oppinion.
looking forward to HTC Pyramid though, which I dont expect to be around the next 6 months, and by then, I'm able to get a new phone
The LG Launcher is not really that good, not laggy but not super responsive either. I user LauncherPro and haven't experienced any lag at all. I'm amazed at this phones speed.

I don't experience any lag at all from this device (and didn't on my S2 running Cyanogenmod for that matter either).
No lag to report on the Nexus 4... But interesting read nonetheless. Might use it on the Galaxy S2 (Which DOES lag, even though some say it doesn't. Compare both N4 and S2 side by side... It's painful to watch)
Is this like jet lag?

No lag here on this badboy!
The lag is from the way Android was designed originally. Not all apps are even optimized for the platform and others are quick ports from other platforms. Also they are still lacking with hardware to software optimizations.

Agreed. It may be the applications that lag but not the system itself. I have yet to see a hiccup when browsing through my Nexus.

There are some pretty awful frame drops when using the device in landscape, especially in the app drawer. I wonder if this fixes that.

Compared to my iPhone 4 the N4's browser is like internet explorer vs chrome.
Sounds like snake oil. Androids remaining lag is too deeply rooted to be squashed with some shell code parlor trick. Android gives content fetching more priority than rendering the UI, it's something that Google has to take care of by rewriting the framework. Ios does this beautifully btw, it doesn't need 4 cores for fluid scrolling and even with 4 cores nexus can't touch it ... yet.

I loved the Nexus 7 from day one, it was fast, fluid and stock android is always a good thing. But somehow Google managed to make the Nexus 7 look old by providing an update which basically kills project butter. These are my impressions:
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2013/...-for-tablets-what-happened-to-project-butter/
I agree, compared to 4.1.2 on my note 2 the nexus 7 with 4.2.1 lags to much.
Has there been any information about if/when we will get another update?
Mine is still smooth as butter. Stock, running 4.2.1. You guys are doing something wrong.

No I haven't and I won't do it either, because it will only be a temporary solution as with the forever gone app. Newly wiped devices are always faster but only until you install all apps again and use them for some time. Then the lag will start again, at least this is my experience of the past years with all mobile devices that have performance issues.

+1 on my gnex 4.2 wasn't as smooth as 4.1 so I did factory reset, reinstalled all my apps, and ran stock for a month smooth with no slowdowns.

There's something to what you said. But I think in this case there is something that goes awry with the 4.2.1 update mechanism and leaves something misconfigured.
Do a factory reset
Then configure Currents to not do background sync
Then change WiFi settings to not stay on when the tablet is sleeping

I agree. I've heard lots of issues when upgrading. There is a lot of changes the SD folder structure and relocation of lots of data that could be the culprit.
I can't say if it makes a difference because I reset often between Rom flashes and major updates. My N7 is still super quick. In fact it feels the same/faster then my brand new 4.1.2 N7 (my tester device). I've been on PA for a long time and haven't factory reset in a long while either.

Nope, I'm just picky on what I put on my device. Not a load of music and videos, very minimal amount of apps, stock, Nova Launcher Prime, and do regular manual cache maintenance on it to keep it clean. Never have say, eight apps running at the same time on it, either.

No, im talking about the extreme lags on nexus 7 since 4.2.1. This didn't happen on 4.1... I'm not talking about some general slowdown of the system which is happening when you load it with apps...
Mine came out of the box using android 4.2.1. I seems reasonably smooth but the app drawer suffers random lag unlike store units that run 4.1.2.
Overall on stock rom, it is not even close to lag, just a bit of minor stuttering for me with launcher that's all.
Do factory reset. Fixed all the issues for me. I had all the problems you've been having.
After reset it was back full speed.
Do it.

AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!
I'll wait for the 4.2.2 update first to see if it fixes anything...
Android always lags. There is no fix.
My nexus 7 (stock rom)starts to lag when it has like less than 100mb free. Lag goes away when I close out programs manually. This is the same case on my galaxy nexus (cm10.1). But my nexus 4 is great and worlds another might I add. But back to the 7, does any one else agree or have similar problems?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm affraid you think right. Apps need memory to run, when this RAM is low or there is not enough available to start a new task the system lags, especially it's UI. Then it attemps to force kill one, more or ALL of your previous used apps depending of your memory usage level.
We can nothing to do with that, just can adjust our number of "same time running" applications to something appropriate to our device memory.
Sadly I have to say that for real MULTITASKING 2GB RAM are THE MINIMUM these days, but for really fast and smooth reactions 3GB will be the optimum. Where are these devices you can ask, hah they are NOT BORN YET...
AW: Beggining to think android requires ram.
I think I'm doing something wrong.. Because I never had ram issues.. :/ I'm trying to make my tablet sweat this week ^^

Me neither. I had a Viewsonic GTablet that only had 512MB of RAM, and it wasn't an issue.
It's probably not so much android but the apps. Just like all computing, programs get better and more complex and start requiring more ram and processor power. I think with the Nexus 7,it has plenty of processor, so ram is probably the bottleneck.

You reminded me of my lg p350, 175mb ram and was so slow, and thats with the os fitting in it, Froyo.
1.5 horrible and torturing years later, here i am, with 1gb ram and enjoying it.
Be thankful you even have a gig of ram.

I feel like the device is much snappier. I heard battery is supposed to be better with it as well but I can't confirm. The xda app was never the best , now it is almost fluid o.o. or at least noticeably better. What do you have to say ?
i was told to add this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qbko3/art_broken_apps/
edit: I would like to add that the apps i notice this most is for instance, when i use hangouts and i'd right ALOOOOOOOT with someone and then scroll up at a fast rate, it would stutter. Now, this stutter is nearly gone.
XDA - xda app is one of the most noticeable, stutter has been reduced by such a large margin that you'd have to try it yourself to believe it.
G+ would have the occasional hickup when scrolling through news posts. Next stop would be the play store, it used to stutter a lot as well, now it's become a lot better. Just for the hell of it i compared it to my sister's note 2 and the difference is there.
I doubt this is a placebo effect, i'm even considering to make a video as proof with dalvik on and off for the hell of it.

Well, it's kind of obvious, if you want the best experience for now you're going to want to go with the official 4.4, since the developers need their time to work their magic.
I have no crashes, i'm using ART so far cause i could care less about what's app. I'll report in about battery life observations once i've at least had this thing running for a whole day.
Feels really smooth so far; don't use any apps that crash(thankfully) on ART. Hard to tell with the battery as I came off a custom kernel that was picked for low power usage. Like with any new firmware, it usually takes a few days of my phone running before I can really judge things. Got to give all the apps running a little time to muck things up to get a solid feel for real world performance; but I'm hopeful from what the past few hours performance/battery wise.

Just switched to art on today's stock KitKat after running art on nexus 5 port for a week. No stability issues and have 165 apps installed with no bugs. Battery life is improved by approximately 15% and performance is much quicker

It's not worth the hassle in my opinion. I couldn't notice any tangible difference, performance-wise. I tried it on SlimKat, though. I may probably give it a second try now on stock but the whole idea of having non-working apps like Whatsapp and TiBu just takes the appealing away for now.
Could this just an elaborate hoax to test the placebo effect of Android optimization? I don't understand the true potential if it.
