Well, I'm an x8 user, I'm gonna change the phone in some months and wanna ask if i really should buy this device
I know too much about roms cuz well I'm developing one
I wanna ask you guys, should i use it in stock and then wait for official ics or stock roms suck?
Does this phone really need all the stuff to work smooth? I mean custom kernel, rom etc because well its dualcore phone and looks that in some post i read, my phone works better
Thanks

It's an awesome phone with cm7
well the stock rom it's not the best out there obviously... blatware apps, poor kernel make it a bad choice if you have alternatives.
for me, the best one is CM7, even better with a custom kernel like the Etana one. lots of tweaks and optimizations if you know what i mean

Hi leroy.
I will give you my personal unbiased opinion about it.
I bought the phone and it came with stock froyo (android 2.2). And I thought it was fine. I could play games with no problems at all. Didn't experience any of the problems that lots of people were complaining about (SoD, bad battery life, etc). I "test-drove" it for three weeks more or less, just to make sure everything was working fine, and it was.
And then I flashed temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel. And I do not regret it one bit. The phone is smoother, more responsive, and battery life is better by at least 25%. Unfortunately I did not do a quadrant benchmark before flashing, so I don't have a before and after comparison, but the phone "feels" much better, no doubts about it.

I tend to believe that what differs from phone to phone is the "bloatware" that carrier dependent phones have installed. I bought an unbranded phone, so I am guessing that is the main reason why I was such a happy customer to begin with, even with stock ROM. A stock unbranded ROM, I might add.

Sorry But i dont know what bloatware mean
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread
My definition of "bloatware" is basically crap software that your carrier (for example vodafone or movistar or whatever) preloads in your branded phone (phone sim locked to your carrier). This software is usually very bad software poorly developed that has memory leakage and drains your battery.
This might be a very biased opinion from me, but usually I like my operating systems to be as clean as possible, only with the software/applications I really need and use. This usually makes for a very fast, responsive and efficient system.

Well, so installing custom rom will replace craping software or just similar unlocking phone?
Also i have hear this is a great phone for developing, but why there's not too much moves as in our threads? Couldn't it be because the phone doesn't need too much developing?
Another question, will official ics fix that or i should upgrade to cm9?

Trust me, the devs for the O2X are awesome. They seriously do great jobs and even create miracles for this device. Just about a month ago, CM9 wasn't available. Many things didn't work, but now thanks to awesome guys like RC and Owain, they made it available to us.
If I were you I wouldn't wait do the official LG release. The GB release was way overdue. LG promised release dates they didn't met and I think this will also happen with ICS. LG said that they would release ICS during the 2nd quarter of this year. I bet that LG won't release it then but probably in 2013 .

I don't know if there is HDMI out or not in CM, because I've never used it while using CM, but it does work fine in MIUI.
And what do you mean by "8 MP is 6 MP"? I thought the resolution just stays the same. Either way, the stock camera app has been ported over to CM7 based roms, and it works just as good as in stock ROM.
Honestly, using MIUI (Wiui to be exact), the experience is alot better, and there is almost no feature sacrificed compared to stock

What you mean?

There are batteries you can buy with more capacity than the stock battery that comes with the phone.
However, I can easily get two day battery life with the stock battery, so personally I don't understand why so many people complain about their battery life. As far as I know it's about the same as other smart phones.
Is it worth flashing a new ROM at the moment? I mean, the ROMs I've seen are incomplete and I read about a lot of problems? If its worth it, what is the best ROM out now and why?

I don't really know about problems with arman68's infiniROM. It is smooth, fast and battery-life is much better than stock.
Not really "goodies" which can cause issues.
I use the AIO Mod v6, system-apps and debloater and i am satisfied
But, if it is worth is your decision

I think Omar ROM is the best in the moment. Each 3 ~ 5 days there's a new build. That's good because you know that the no one quited the project of something like that, different from Pi-Llama that you never know the next update.
It has great battery life (2 days without charge it), smooth like hell and i'm without bugs at this moment. I'm using jully 4 build.

The best you've to do is make a clean install. Wype everything and format all your device, to then install it. Works like a charm. If you install build over build, you'll get lags soon or later.
I hope i helped you.

Same here, works without a flaw - butter-smooth and seriously great battery-life (~6h30m screen uptime, playing around with the phone like a little kid... still 28%).
To be honest, I didn't try Omar's - but arman68's infiniROM is just perfect.

I really thought about trying omars ROM but there are to much issues postet for me. I don't want to make a full wipe twice a week. I want to use my phone
But its a great work what omar is doing. omars kernel is integrated in armans ROM...
I think I'm really considering Omar's ROM it seems less hassle than infinirom even though the constant updates, but I think that if I just backup my apps in a zip or whatever I'll should be fine :3

You don't need to make a fill wipe with each build. You can install it over the old. As I said, there will be an hour that you have to make a full wipe and a clean install, if not, you'll get lags.
I have personally tried both Omar's rom and Arman's infinirom, I don't really notice much of a difference between the two. Omar's rom has more goodies, but imo Arman's is better as a daily driver just because updates don't come out as often. They're both worth trying out. Regarding battery life, I haven't seen the remarkable battery life that everyone has with infinirom. At best, I usually end up with 3.5 hours screen time after two days of use. Omar's gives about the same battery life. Then again, cell signal in my area is average at best.
Oh and one last thing, is you want to use some mods in the forum like shaftenberg's music controls, use Omar's as it's deodexed. Hope you like whichever one you go with, they're both better than stock!

Omar-Avelar's ROM totally worth it. It seems to be the most actively developed and people are liking it.
I came from Moto Defy and Defy+, I was used to CM10 (the best d* ROM ever) and Omar-Avelar is the closest for XT890 I've used so far.

I think that's the point.
With every respect to any developer here, but we are still on stock ROMs. Omar did some great changes to the kernel, but most of the work are mods, deleted system apps and so on. Tweaks here and there, but not every tweak is for anyone.
Take automatic brightness for example: arman68 tweaked this so much, you can get outstanding battery life with it - if you use it.
Personally I prefer *my* settings, which are 40% brightness indoors, 100% outdoors, that's it. AMOLED lives with its colors, why darken it to get some hours more in standby?
Every user will tell you other opinions, some need extra fps for gaming, some want to swap SD card, some other need very dark screens for reading at night. It depends what you want.
Summary for me: I stay on stock, deodexed it, disabled some Motorola stuff I don't need manually, disable Google Now(!), put some mods in it for my likings and a happy face and I'm fine with it. In general I got same battery life, because the largest battery hog is the display.
You might want to test Omar's kernel for stock ROM, think, that's the greatest deal - but have in mind that you might not see or "feel" the difference.
I second that! Omar's is the best so far, but make sure you do regular nandroid backups.

I was playing with the phone, thought of losing everything, the root, the awesome CoCore kernel and everything else.
I switched back to the Stock DDULP8 firmware and thought to play with it for a few days. And dear lord the performance and the entire experience was horrible, even Doodle Jump was lagging. What did Samsung do wrong? I thought maybe I should give Software Update a try, maybe Samsung might have released something to fix all the UI glitches and poor performance the firmware offers. It said, "The latest updates have already been installed".
We are people who know stuff, we can get rid of all these issues by rooting, freezing apps and installing custom kernels. But what about a rookie user? He will cry after purchasing this phone.
I don't even know why I am creating this thread.
When you buy the phone you get stock GB and that doesnt lag as much as Stock JB. The reason it lags is those crap samsung bloatware.

Yeah, it looks like Kernel problem.
U cant feel like normal user once u know how to root and mod it...thats the fact u feel it lag a lot
Its different if u did not know anything about root or whatsoever, u will like it lag
For example, just around me...specially a girl user, they use it like its running on turbo mode even its not coz they did not feel what is after root and mod phone are...correct?
For u, just use the mod one that suit u best and dont use stock
As for me, i like stock with little mods...

Sometimes, modding can do more harm than good.

My phone came with jb when I first got
And I was like
The camera lags alot
The battery drains worse than my old galaxy 5
And sometimes when I pressed the settings I could watch the tv, waiting for the settings to open
But since I already knew about cocore while browsing on xda
But even today i'm not satisfied with my battery experience so I'm trying different version of jb or maybe I should try gb since I never used it
Or in last case buy a l3 ii which has a longer battery life
Actually knowing that stuff doesn't help much, performance is still quite bad.
What bothers me are those who give you false hope that custom stuff can fix it, so you spend a lot of time learning how to install them, but then realize it's all BS.

Slim bean 4.3 with it's own kernel, some apps greenified and used for texting and some tweeting over wi-fi /3g
Hello,
I'm thinking about installing a custom firmware on my 4X HD, but am unsure which one to go for. My priorities in order are:
1) Stable and fully functional.
2) Game performance
3) Battery life.
4) Easy to install.
Can anyone suggest which firmware I should install? Currently I am running the stock ICS firmware, as I have heard bad things about the official 4.1 JB update.
Sorry man, to be honest every ROM has its pro's and cons, just read the threat and try
And beside the ROM you got a kernel top who has influence on battery an stability
So my opinion (yes its a lot of work) read and try.

Stock ICS. You didn't want to update to Jelly Bean?
I got my Optimus 4x back yesterday after sending it for repair. It got sent with JB,came back with ICS
It's now been bootloader unlocked, rooted and installed Optimus Prime kernel. I did leave the standard ROM on there.
I'm just leaving it like that for the time being and seeing how the performance is.

You should install CM 10.2 and Optimus Prime kernel.It has best battery life/performance.It is good for gaming (doesn't lag in most games)But if you want to OC GPU , which increases performance a lot considering we have it on 416 mhz default, go for werewolfJB.I have underclocked my CPU to 1.4 ghz, OCd my GPU to 600 mhz on 1325 mV.Also undervolted my CPU by -65 mV.Optimus prime is a pretty good kernel, but it has 520 mhz max for GPU clock and it isn't enough in some games, atleast for me.You'll need to check anykernel topic if you are to install these kernels as they won't work in CM 10.2 unless you download them from that topic.
Click thanks if I helped

u cant install a stable rom and have game perfomance. and u cant install rom for battery life and have game perfomane. but u can install one for game perfomance and use greenify to hybernate apps and deep sleep battery saver app to force it sleep immidiately so it doesnt drain battery.

Hence why I ordered my requirements. Stable and fully functional is my top priority. Taking account only the roms that are stable and fully functional, out of those, which have the best gaming performance (my 2nd in the list)? Out of those that remain, which have the best battery life? And if we still have more than 1 option at this point, which is easier to install?

This is too close to a "Best ROM" thread. Just try different ROMs for yourself and judge them based on what you find. Other people's opinions are subjective and may not be the same as yours.

Furthermore, it's not only a matter of "best ROM" (ie.: rules) it's the fact that this is not a ROM supermarket, and people are here because they like to develop and make experiments. Even if I have the greatest respect for all the users, I would not trust anybody "selling" me a rom like a vendor based on experiences that are not mine. One should get in the spirit of the forum to really apreciate it. If one does not, all he is going to get is just a lot of frustration, and being told what is good and what is not would be of no help at all.
So lets set him on fire and dance around him since that will change everithing."Best rom/s theads are not alowed on this forum so go into roms threads that you like and read about them.If you like it then flash it and test it.Have a nice day." That is what people shuould write.

...that is, what was done at least four or five times before receiving an ordered shopping list.

Thanks for the advice everyone. While I would usually jump at the opportunity to read around on forums, and even better to try installing several various ROMS to try them all out (this is the kind of thing I used to do a lot a few years ago), I unfortunately have very little time these days for such things due to personal and work responsibilities, which was why I thought someone with a lot more knowledge about all the available roms might be able to shoot a suggestion or 2 my way to at least narrow the scope. Since that kind of thing is not allowed I'll just take a look at the couple of roms that people suggested, or potentially just stick with the stock rom for now.
If there is CM rom on jelly bean stable(I don't know- never tried) i would go for it. If there is not i would go for stock ics with custom kernel.
