I'll give it a run...thanks ID

Downloading now

Music doesnt read internal
Camera only goes up to 3mp
camcorder goes up to 480p
Great port either way.
Also when trying to hang up on a phone call, it just says hanging up and doesnt do anything. Just stays on the phone call

Fun!! /ten

Holy ****. This rom is AMAZING! If we could get the camera fixed for optimum performance, that'd be fantastic.

trying to enable wifi makes it reboot
if that could get fixed i think i would use this mainly... it just feels so fresh and new

Thanks IncDoes!

Thanks! Been wating to try this even with the known bugs

Also, i imagine aosp kernels for this, right?

This really does have a lot of potential.. I hope some one takes it over...

Thanks id! It's really cool, but I am also getting a bootloop when I enable wifi

I see theirs bug (as with any ROM) but will be watching this. Hope someone picks this up. It could be EPIC.

Sweet rom.
As others have pointed out.
Phone reboots when turning on wifi.
No verizon apps in market.
No TV Out
Ill be watching this rom closely .. I like what im seeing so far
Sent from my Liquid using XDA App

Gave this ROM a brief run noticed the following bugs:
As noted before, wifi forces a reboot. Weather service isn't reporting correctly, neither is GPS. Camera appears to work till you actually try to use it. Force closes after a few taps. Noticed that the ROM is sluggish performance wise, but this is likely due to all the other bugs. Really hope a dev takes this one up, definitely has a lot of potential.

It was a brief and fun escape from MIUI, but this ROM doesn't stack up. The lockscreen is the best part. Aside from the bugs, the ui is not very intuitive. Acer almost tried too hard to be different. Takes too many taps to get some things done. For example, you have to long press the home button to access the widgets, and then swipe to the one you want. The actual home screen is very limited in what can be on it. It's almost as if there are two ui's stacked atop one another.
Btw, I tried a different kernel. I think it actually installed properly, but the kernel didn't update in 'settings'.

Wow this is amazing... Great work

Works much better with launcherpro. The stock launcher is sorta bogus even though is fun to show off to other people.
This way you get a good home launcher and that awesome lockscreen.

I'm finding the same things that all of you are, although I've tinkered with mine to the point that it won't re-boot past the "acer" screen. I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, setting) and I'm back into the setup screens.

Personal experiences

I understand that a few of you have been using the phone. My contract has ended, and I'm really thinking about getting the Optimus 2X. I have read mixed reviews regarding the phone, and really want to hear from trusted XDA users.
So any advantages, disadvantages or verdicts would be really appreciated

Swedroid.se tested the phone a week ago, Swedroid is the biggest swedish community around Android, and its the only site I trust 100%! They said that its the best Android phone ever, they have tested so far.
You can check out the huge test here: http://www.swedroid.se/test-av-lg-optimus-2x/ (Its in Swedish though)

I agree with Hund. Swedroid does the best reviews you can ever see on the internet. They know their job and they test pretty much everything.

I've had the phone for a couple of days, so here are my first impressions:
Battery: I came from a Sony Ericsson X10i and the battery is a great improvement - can't give any stats though, but have pretty much been using the phone non-stop
Screen: Awesome screen with nice vibrant colors, good viewing angles and rather fair in sunlight.
OS: Everything is smoooooooth. Except when you change stuff like usb-mode. Then the media-player looks for new transferred media, but that is expected.
HDMI mirroring works like a charm! Great to show off and good when visiting people when you want to watch a movie.
Watched a couple of tv shows on a long busride today. Just standard 350mb .avi files that worked PERFECTLY! Even subs were crystal clear!
Camera - has some bugs with the blurryness, but I haven't really used it yet. Should be solved with a software update at some point.
I think that's about it.. BEST phone I've had so far and everyone I've shown it to was impressed BLING BLING

Hey Muude.
That sound great... thanx for your words...
I'm very exited to be recieving mine soon from Ellos.dk... they are just soooooo slow...
I can't wait to start watching movies via hdmi ;-))) Nice!

Ok, th camera bug is a known problem and it seems to be a software problem.
Could someone kindly try to use another camera from the market? Maybe the results are better? Camera360 could be an alternative app.

What about gps ????

Do you use a Taskkiller like ATK or something. If you do stop using it, i had the same problems with those force-closes when using ATK. Also you have to bear in mind that it has stock 2.2.2 and most market place stuff is made for 2.2.1 .
My opinion on the LG 2x: I still can not believe it's from LG those guys really went in the right direction. I've had a BB9700 and a Galaxy S (darkys rom) and this LG really is a piece of work. The build is quite solid when compared to Samsungs Galaxy and the preformance is great. Battery live is about 130 % better then the SGS not 160 % as advertised.

It would be nice, if someone could check the quality of the camera using different settings and show us some photos

I have this phone now for 5 days.
Before I had a HTC legend.
- speed is great.
- there is a lag in the lockscreen (when you press the power button you first see your homescreen, and a second later the lock screen)
- i didnt found a option for the email of my hotmail account to delete te messages from the server.
-I cant add wordt to my dictionary when typing a message.
- had several crashes while doing just nothing (scrolling through menus or something)
- a lot of programs start up by themself. and the advanced task killer is not automaticly closing it even when i put the setting on kill when screen is off.
overall a good phone, but it doesnt feel just that right like a HTC.

can anyone say something about multitouch on 2x? in a video i saw its capable to handle 10 points but more interesting would be if its now possible to pinch to zoom and move at a time.
e.g.: in browser you zoom in on a webpage and whlie zooming you move the centre of zooming to an other point like the upper right corner and it zooms to the new centre. ive seen this on windows phone and ios but android so far.

How do you set up your hotmail? I haven't been able to do that. On my X10i, when i deleted the messages of my phone, it didn't affect the server either, so maybe that's just they way android is set up.
The standard keyboard is pretty lacking in terms of features..
The random things you experience with programs could be due to the fact that you are using a task killer.. They only cause problems imo.

HTC Velocity - SU broken *FIXED*

I've unlocked, installed CWM, rooted it, installed busybox via the busybox installer from the market (which requires root), however titanium tells me that the SU command fails and I should attempt to re-root my device
Where should I go from here before I break something?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Never mind, booted into recovery, reinstalled VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip all is good

had the same drama at first nice fix how are you finding the phone???

So fair I am impressed with the speed, I have not used 4G yet, its not available in my area yes, but its light years ahead of all the other handsets here even on 3G.
Physically I was expecting it to be heavier, and coming from a HTC HD2, the lock and volume buttons are perfectly positioned so that I accidentally press them all the time as they are in opposite of what I am used to and its the same width but 1 cm taller, which means I can no longer use my leather belt pouch I miss having a physical hangup and separate physical answer key which through the circumstances of its birth (WinMo 6.5) the HD2 was blessed with. Build quality on the MicroSD card slot is lacking, it could have been made better. I also miss being able to hot-swap the microsd card as I could in the HD2, instead I have to pull the battery which is annoying.
Software wise, I gotta say that I am REALLY missing MIUI, Sense is very pretty but I find it is not really what I am looking for and its quite clunky in comparison to MIUI... and I hate how it squashes down widgets for no reason at all. I will probably play around with AWD or LauncherPro in the meantime, I'm also not really a fan of the ringpull unlock screen but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I noticed that the VIVID and RAIDER have sense 3.0, where as the Velocity has Sense 3.5... maybe ROM people can yank a clean build from the Telstra build along with teeter
BlueTooth - Works Great, Syncs INSTANTLY with my car, never skips on A2DP, works great.
Wifi - Works fantastically
Games work great on it, I'm cranking away with my PSX emulator (FPSE) and GTA III runs good, I was originally disappointed it didn't run better but after I reduced the draw distance in the game settings it was good, I think I had too many apps running as well. I installed ATK to take care of that and the phone is much better after I have ATK autorun every hour and clean up background apps.
Battery life I can't tell because I have been using it almost the entire time and it melts through it pretty fast, I'd give it a week of normal day to day use before I really give a verdict on it, I do have the screen at 100% brightness all the time which doesn't help, and I already have an extended battery in the mail. I sync 2 gmail accounts and an exchange account, all in push, and I just leave BT and WIFI on all the time as I like just jumping in the car and it works, or getting home and already being on the wifi.
Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 so far, with CM7 or CM9 and MIUI that would quickly elevate to an 8 out of 10, with all the space inside the phone, the size of the standard battery is disappointing, they could have put one almost twice the size in there if they arranged the sim and microsd slots better.
The biggest problem is that I was really spoiled with the HTC HD2, I'd say 90% of my gripes with the phone are with sense, I find it ugly and clunky and I wish HTC had just left android alone... I don't have an issue with gingerbread, I haven't used ICS yet and I'm in no busting rush. As soon as the ROM community grows up for this phone it will be amazing, until then its kinda meh.

I went to town on launchers and things today and significantly improved the base system.... ADW Launcher, screen density of 200 and widget locker have made this a much nicer playground
still, widget locker isn't perfect, every now and then I see the standard lockscreen for a few seconds, so its like the sense lockscreen is still activating in the background

My phone is in another room, but I think in the Advanced settings somewhere there's an option to disable the stock lockscreen.

if rooted, you can also go into /system/app/ and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLockscreen.bak and it will remove the ring lockscreen, and put it back on the old sliding tab lockscreen (froyo/gingerbread stock/aosp lockscreen)

Cool trick. It doesn't break anything? I remember doing something similar on my Desire and I couldn't dismiss alarms (ugh) or answer calls, I'd have to do a battery pull.
(also, I think you need to be rooted to disable the stock lockscreen in WidgetLocker, so maybe it's essentially doing the same thing; alarms/calls work fine on my Vivid with it disabled, so maybe I'm answering my own question)

i did it on my mytouch4g and had problems dismissing alarms, but i got gentle alarm, so i didnt worry about it any more, lol
havent done it on this phone yet
i take that back, i did it, but i didnt run any alarms or test any calls, so i dont know if that is broken or not

Ah yes found it, settings > advanced > disable stock lock.
it warns that this will make any of the physical keys wake the device, I'm cool with that

Yeah, I actually like waking my phone with the volume buttons sometimes, depending on how I end up grabbing it in my jacket pocket. And it's not like they unlock the phone; I have WidgetLocker set to only have a 15-second timeout, overriding the normal display timeout, so I'm not too worried about accidental battery drain.

Things I dislike about the Nexus 6, am I using it wrong/is it MY phone only?

I'm moving from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6. Note 4 started having random reboots, problems, etc.
1. Nexus 6, the volume button and power button are too close together/same side. Does anyone else fumble with these buttons?
2. Camera-doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as the one on the Note 4, flash lights up the picture and it looks good, but when the picture actually takes, it is seconds after the flash has gone off.
3. Is there a way to put two languages on at once for texting? I am aware that I can put more than 1 on and toggle the 'spacebar' to switch from english to spanish, but, is there a way that it has both dictionaries going at once? Most of my texting is in two languages, and it's a real pain to have to switch back and forth in order to not have auto-correct go crazy and change my words. (or can someone suggest a messaging app they like that would do this?)
4. After using headphones and unplugging, sound will sometimes disappear until the phone is restarted.
5. Copying pictures from a text? On some of them i get a choice of "view picture" which takes it to a separate screen. But, from there, the 3 little menu buttons on the top left, when I click say "more options" and nothing else comes up? There is no way to copy it, forward it, etc.?
6. Is there a way to make the message alerts not vibrate so loudly? Is that adjustable?

1. Once in a while, but I have a habit of "double checking" the buttons
2.Have you tried using a camera with manual settings? Heard that the N6 camera wasnt that good but if you know what you are doing with manual settings, you can get a great shot
3. Have you tried swiftkey? I use it to be able to text my family in english and catala
4. Haven't had that issue
5. -------
6. Not sure, maybe if you root your device you can

This thread should be closed it if you dislike the phone get something different!

1. Seldom. But my Vodafone Crapfone which is the company phone has it reversed. The power button is below the volume rockers. And I constantly mix those up.
2. It's not as good as my Note 3 was. But still I've made a couple of rather good photos. It's not all in the camera software.
3. No, AFAIK. But it's not N6 specific.
4. My never did that.
5. I don't really get this one. Text, as in Messaging?
6. Nope. I mean not without a custom kernel.

I disagree. Other than the obvious point that the OP's post isn't breaking any XDA rules, the OP has not said that he doesn't like the device. All he is doing is asking for input from device owners regarding certain things he isn't used to. Perhaps you might try answering the questions instead of being crabby?
@grizzylemon: To answer your questions:
I haven't had an issue with this. Coming from a Galaxy S4 you would figure I would.
I've not encountered issues using the camera with flash. However, all things considered, the Nexus 6 camera is a small downgrade from the one in the Note 4. The Note 4 camera has a slightly larger aperture, which means more light can hit its sensor. That plus the backlit sensor and DIS to go with OIS do make for a better camera.
You could use Google Translate to translate your text before you send it, then add it to the existing text. However, typing in two different languages would require a keyboard where you could switch languages on the fly, and while I'm sure they exist, I'm not aware of any.
I've not encountered this.
Tap on the picture in Messenger. Next to the "share" icon you should have an icon that looks like a memory card. That's the "save" icon. The picture will save to a folder on internal storage. Other apps, including the AOSP messaging app, may have a completely different setup.
The vibration motor is very loud. You would need a custom ROM with (likely) a custom kernel to be able to adjust the vibration intensity.

Thanks for your responses. It isn't so much the keyboard (for the dual language texting) but in my other phone I guess it worked two languages simultaneously in the dictionary so I could type "Go to the store and tell her you want "una soda sin hielo" " and it wouldn't try to change the last part of my text to words it thought i might be trying to type in English.
Also, thanks for your defense.

I'm certain some people will wonder how I can type without it, but the solution I found to that was to disable predictive text features in the keyboard.

I didn't buy this phone for the camera, texting abilities, or multilingual support. I bought because it is big, fast and most of all... it's a Nexus.
I can run a different rom every day if I want. Your Note 4 was having random reboots. If that happens with my Nexus 6 I just wipe it and install a different ROM. This flexibility is what makes Nexus (Pixel) devices great. IMHO.

Yes, I do like that part of it, haven't tried to do any custom roms on it yet. is there one you have that is a favorite? Also, (probably a stupid question, so bear with) how is it different to wipe and put in different rom on the Nexus as opposed to doing so on the Note?

As in? Were you running a custom ROM on the Note 4? Nexus is one of the most highly developed brands. If not the most. Factory images are readily available and many times after a new android version is released, custom ROMs for the Nexus are not far behind. There is no difference between installing a ROM on the Nexus 6 or the
Note 4. Availablity would be the factor.
I'm a fan of Bliss, Slim and Pure Nexus, to name a few. It mostly depends on the user and what they like.

Question Not all notifications are visible on statusbar

Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.

Hi,
I found an a french youtuber who had the same issus.
I think it need to be solved by an update.

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again

It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Where did you buy your phone? I guess you have a Chinese OS Version?
I have no Breeno, no textra or Hey Tap.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?
Textra? I installed. My preferred Messaging App [ LOL, not OPPO's clearly]

I got one from my provider in Holland. International version.
Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

I quit custom roms after the S7. And that one had a OneUI based 'optimized' ROM.
Maybe you can try this (I haven't just saw it yesterday in my ColorOS telegram group)

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
