O2X for now.
Samsung phones have advantage as they release some source codes.
The best is to check cyanogen's website, if there is a cyanogen the phone is usually well supported by devs.

We have cyanogen for arc its just complications thats all
If I get LG o2x all I need to do is root then cmw then put a Rom on is it that easy or have u got to open bootloader or any thing
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App

I thought xperia arc's cyanogen was ported by someone else?
Locked bootloader is a bad idea for a flasholic
For Optimus Black, it is still fairly new; but the bootloader isn't locked so it shouldn't have major issues.
Arc -> Black looks like a major downgrade to me

STAY AWAY FROM LG !!
If you are flashaholic, HTC is the way. Or Samsung. Or anything else...
DO NOT BUY LG!

Why not? I think that if you do want to flash different ROM's, then LG O2X is a great phone. It's the stock rom that's causing trouble.

i recommend you to try the lg optimus 2x. is by two time much powerful and open to the development then lg Black.

Is LG really that bad I like HTC alot coming from dhd but just fancy a change

And wont the o2x be outdated and old soon its been out a while and dont want to buy if development just slows to a holt
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App

Just go and try it, my LG is the best phone i ever had (O2X)..
Ive had an LG Renoir too, that was my 2nd best i think..

I think O2X is the best because tegra2 inside

Compared to Black it is "newer", if you think about the hardware. If you are thinking of release-date, Black is newer - but not on the inside.

Yea I was thinking more the hardware side of Things

optimus 2x much faster than nexus prime?!

i was at a store today and i was able to use the samsung galaxy nexus for quite a while.. i was thinking of getting it next month but i was quite disappointed after playin with it.. my optmus 2x is much faster on ics! the only thing i loved about it was its screen... it was like.. whoa!! the perfect screen.. but even its launcher was too laggy :/ scrolling from apps to widgets screen made the phone look sooo slow.. what is your opinion on it?? should i get one of these or better avoid them?

Go fr it...nexus series has a great dev support..
2X devs are also good, but they are few in no.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

My opinion is: do not judge the phone by how it behaves on the stock rom

hmmm i guess you are both right.. but isnt it strange that it is so crap out of the box?? if someone isnt in the modding trick he will be crying for the (lots of) money he gave for it.. and its the latest google official phone which should be flying while all the rest phones are walking..

Time to say goodbye!

TOday, I have sold my optimus black.
Sadly, I will not contribute much on P970 thread in xda in the future. However, I am happy to share my experience when using P970 if you want to listen...
This is my first smart phone for daily use...
What's more, I would like to thank all the developers and members. Without their contribution, I cannot try so many wonderful and powerful ROMs like Marvel and Zeus... I would like to thank Redy, Huexxx... They are so kind to answer my questions. Zeus is the best ROMs that I have tried.
Now, I am still considering which is the next smart phone will be.
I think galaxy nexus or optimus 2X are the good choice.
Any ideas?

Your choices are galaxy nexus and LG 2X ? Galaxy is like twice the price of an optimus 2x (atleast in my country). Still, I'm not even going to talk about LG's technical phone support...I would choose galaxy nexus even without a need to think about it.
Regards.

Both are too expensive for me.
Besides, Nexus is so reasonable price in my country, just the same with the optimus 2X

Seems that prices in my country are so different with yours. Galaxy nexus is 40 euros more expensive than Sony Xperia S !? SGS 2 is is priced at 480 euros, which is the same as the Sony.
But ridiculously cheap is SE arc s (290 eur), which is cheaper than OB originally was last summer.
If i could i would change my ob to arc s any time.

Let you tell your the truth of in my country.
Both 2X and Nexus are US$400. Are they too expensive?

yeah... but with power comes reaponsibility as uncle Ben said to a little spidey and lg shows no signs of responsibility at all....

To be honest the only reason for not selling my OB is the great developers(even if not many in number), and the community. It haven't been an easy ride at all, and it is all LGs fault of being slappy and improve.
And that will definitely be my last LG item (phone,tv,etc) for a long while.
I would personally go with the nexus or if price is not to high with the Samsung Note.
Take care and good luck !!!!

I would look for the galaxy nexus or the htc one s not the x (i'm also looking to buy the one S)
I still think htc is more reliable then lg and samsung… but that's my opinion

p970 is my first android phone too

I got offer for 3D not nexus.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app

Some reasons i can think of why you should stick to the O2x:
* 3D seems exciting and fun at the start, but later it gets boring and not practically an extra feature in the long run (IMHO)
* The Camera is better in O2x
*O2x Weighs lesser and is slimmer and more compact
*O2x Screen is slightly smaller but i guess better quality
*Much better dev scene here, O3D doesnt have a single ICS ROM, while we are close to getting JB (seems so)
*About the O3D's GPU being better, the difference is quite small.
Very demanding games will lag on both, and moderate to demanding games should run similarly on both.
Just my two cents

Yeah i know about 3D. Got 3D cinema next to my flat , my old galaxy S is getting 13-14 fps in taiji benchmark vs rough 8 for o2x. So it should be only better for p920.
Yeah i have looked in the p920 forum and i dont know why there is no ics for it.. omap have their sources open afaik.
Anyway i think i would go for the deal. No CAF in o2x is a letdown.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app

I know optimus 3d has worse software bugs than our 2x... And ics will be released later

We dont have ics because LG wont give us source code for 3D.And the way i see it, its stupid to have O3D without 3D.We will get ICS next month i think, LG testing it right now.My brother whants to buy 2X so i came here to see does 2X have good comunity, and i found my answer, thx.

Keep O2x.
Sent from my LG-P990

The o2x is a better phone, i'd pick it even only for the better camera.
Yet you shouldn't stay on LG. Get apple, nokia, s3...the world is free!
I even wonder who wants o2x. I've been trying to get rid of it, but everyone checking on the internetz,and seeing there are problems with getting ICS, no one wants it..

Oh gosh such hate for LG as I have similary for church xD. This forum should be renamed to condemner shrine...
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

So after some time with o3D i can definitely say that o3D is better and smoother than o2x.

Yea,its like i wanna buy a car for 15k and someone recomends me one for 30k.Gtfo with ur tips.

the o3d is just pure ugly.. for one, but thats a matter of personal taste though.
o2x has a better: camera, screen, audio quality, and most importantly dev support.

2x is the overall better phone. 3d function is (in my opinion) just useless
You are here at xda devs... so you should know how to get your 2x way faster then o3d and even SGS2 isnt so far away....

Hi,
I agree completely with you, after 18 months with my 2x I decided to get the 3D. I know, it's an old model, but I became a good offer from my operator and compared it with other prices in the market for similar devices and I finally decided me for it. It's still a very good phone. For me, it was the best choice and i don't regret it. After updating to V21e all the prior problems, like ghost calls, are solved. The phone is easely rootable and there are a few custom roms that work great, no mention cm 7.2 that works great too, but hasn't all the 3d stuff.
Pros of phone are a very good construction, nice screen, I personally don't like the oversaturated amoled screen. I have to say that the IPS screen of the 2x is still better representing colors but at this point i'm not dissapointed with the 3d's one.Veryt very very smooth, nothing to envy with other double core phones.
xtrustkillx good investion in my opinion.
:good:

Exactly. The screen is better in o2x. Cameras are **** on either.
there is just a lot of tegra 2 fan boys out there.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Watch some Benchmark results... the LGO2x (Tegra2) is faster then the O3D.
I dont know if a stock O3d feels smoother Athen a stock O2x, but thats not the point FOR ME..

Optimus 2X's RAM wasn't enough for daily use, it cause LAGGY on using, it annoys.

many phones in that price range are like optimus 2X. They all have a 512MB of RAM .
Sri Lanka has many other better models and this meets my budget

I love this phone, but i hate LG for the lack of software update..
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?

I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?

Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.

2X p990 got the Jellybean 4.1 Cyanogen update recently

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.

i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol

Was happy for it but will probably change once nexus 4 comes out, it gets slow way too fast on any rom

Don't know how you use it, but with propper ROM RAM/Kernel is enough even for some of tegra 3 games, especially for daily use..

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..

It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

advice ?? Buy it or not to buy it? I was thinking to go for a Xperia sola new one if not the optimus 2X 2nd hand one.
Sola doesn't have a gyroscope and HDMI. But I need 'em

if you want secondary camera, bigger screen and 1080p video go for o2x
i recommend to you to watch a youtube video review about xperia sola to decide and read in xperia sola section here in xda for background and users feedback
