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

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

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

official gingerbread release date

it is confirmed. the official release date of gingerbread on lg optimus x2 (p990) is 15 september. i have talk with a director from lg, and also with sales department from android. both told me gingerbread for p990 is done, will have a battery improvment first of all, less resourses needed, with no bugs. all we have to do is waiting for 2 weeks.

well, 2 weeks is a short time. Doesn't make too much of a diff I guess. Coz my last updated v10d SEA (south east asia) version has been rock-solid stable. No BSOD or reboots.. except for vignette very seldom the app was unresponsive but after that, it's fine again.
So for me GB no longer necessary. v10d really solved all my BSOD and reboots problems.

I am on a custom ROM right now...how can I get back on the original LG wagon? do I just flash to the new GB LG Rom and from then on I'll get LG updates?
Also, where do I get the 2.2 LG Rom that phone came with? Lost my backup that I made before flashing it.

Flash original stock ROM from here then you will able to use LG S/W Updater again.

i'm wondering if it's 2.3.3 like optimus one or straight to 2.3.4

It's confirmed as 2.3.4 by LG, and by first leaks.

sa speram ca pe 15 soseste ca m-am saturat de buguri si de bateria pe care o incarc de dous ori pe zi

Waiting for this!

if will not aarive on 15 september i swear that i will never buy an lg phone again. samsung is more friendly with their coustumers...
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

That's funny.
How do you even know it s going to be better than the current roms?
Or, another question: what do you expect it will bring new? Do you think it will make the phone a quad core monster with a 7 days battery life?
Don't think too much about Samsung. On their forum most of the people are complaining about battery drain and other bugs. No one is perfect.
Don't get me wrong, i also want to update my phone to the latest Android. But i realize that it s not going to be something spectacular, like the introduction of Flash in Froyo, so there' s no reason to make too much fuss out of it

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..

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 .

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

LG O2x vs Sony Xperia P

Hi guys, got offer to exchange my Optimus for Xperia P. Just wanted to know what do you think. I checked many reviews, but still cant decide. Is Xperia P better than Optimus 2x? I usualy use my phone for games, music and calls/text. Can Xperia P handle newer games good? Thanks for any response
EDIT: Noticed I posted in bad section, should be Q&A right? Sorry

Well had both also... O2X performs better... More fun also... And display is miles miles better.

Maybe you forgot that lg optimus 2x was lg flagship and sony xperia p is mid end phone so it is like a ferrari f430 and mercedes c63
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

I have both and I think Xperia P is the correct choose, better camera, better display and official JB support.
Walkman and Album apps are awesome and better call sound than my old optimus 2x.

I'd choose the P too. It will get Jelly Bean, has more RAM, and probably a better camera. I personally like their stock ROMs more too.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

o2x best display better than amoled, good power,camera,vast community support
but also a 3 year old phone, less ram.
p dont hav power like o2x,but gud for daily use.if o2x giving u prob go for p. but if it dont stick with it,still one of the best and after custom ics and few mod to camera app ready to rock again
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

O2x is still better in my opinion.. because is have much more community support like here on xda..

O2x better display?
did you try to read a email with sun light?
Yes, Xperia P's display is not a IPS or AMOLED but It has whitemagic technology (RGBW pattern) and more resolution.
Optimus 2x is more powerful but Xperia P is better for smartphone use (or multimedia use).
I'm not a fanboy but seriously, get the Xperia P, or wait for a new Xperia 2013

Pathetic fanboy. Only L9, L7 and 4X are getting JB.
Also, just go to gsmarena and compare specs, you can see the P is better.

Good decision

anything is better than this peice of crap, lack of support from LG with regards to "keeping up with compatibility" and maximizing their phone users experience. NULL AND VOID!.
and to make it worse. the battery time is enough to make you cry. especialy when you wish you saved for a s3 instead. =( but your right i did want to have the 1st dualcore phone =( payed hefty for it 2

2x
Friend has xpera p but not as good as the 2x.
games running better on 2x, stronger hardware, etc.
the sony might has better support but who cares, we have xda :laugh:

I love my o2x,very good hardware and wolfson dac.Only issue is the battery but with help from devs it is ok.
