hey guys. i'm over from the lg optimus one forum.
if you havent noticed, miui is casting a vote on which device they should port MIUI to (the vote can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/questions/217517851641131/?qa_ref=ssp). as you can see, both the optimus 2x and the optimus one are losing to the more popular, higher-end devices.
if you are a fan of miui, then this might be of interest to you. the reason why i am posting this here is because it turns out that you can vote for more than one phone. i believe that if we support each other and cast a vote for both of our phones, we may stand a chance against those other phones. i know that maybe only one device will get it but anything is better than where we stand right now.
if you are not a fan of miui, then please disregard this message (but even if you are not a fan of miui, please support our phones by casting a vote for both of them).
on the other hand, i am also well aware of the fact that you guys already have an unofficial miui port. there are people over at the optimus one forum who are trying to port it but without success so far. if you are perfectly fine with the miui port that you guys have, please consider helping us (the optimus one users) out.
i thought that you guys might understand as we (LG users) are the underdogs to companies such as samsung and motorola
voteddd...
already vote bro..
me 2 lalalala 10 chars
Voted, all Optimus 2X users please spare 15 seconds to vote for Optimus One and Optimus 2X. Thanks
thanks for the support guys! this really means a lot to me as this is the only chance the optimus one can get miui. this is because the optimus one uses an armv6 processor; in the words of another user from my forum:

Well i'm back... finally finished my exams and got some time for myself.
But i have a bit of bad news. I've been studying android and how it's build and how it works and i'm afraid this might be an impossible port to make for now. I've looked into the Galaxy 3 port and it's not an actual port. It's just the framework. So it is possible to port apps from the rom but they might not work fully because of incompatible libs.
Now about the libs, they are compiled specifically for a type of processor (in miui case armv7) which have some instructions built in. While armv7 may run armv6 libs it's not possible the other way around. So even if we got the phone to boot, and got the launcher and a few miui apps running it wouldn't be miui.
I see that SWEATTAIMI is still working to complete the port of the framework and i wish him the best of luck but i will have to step down since i am working on other android projects that are more likely to come to an end than this.

Hey everyone. I'm an Optimus Black owner and I want to exchange it for an O4X. Can anyone give some pros & cons about this device? And I have to say it, please put the "passion" aside and give some cold review.
Thanx in advance!

Well i havent had much experience with it yet, but i can tell you the screen is awesome, the build quality is almost perfect, the sound quality on headphones is good..loudspeaker is bad but unless you re an annoying 14 year old, you wouldnt listen to music on loudspeaker...you might have a little bit of an issue with the locked bootloader but a mod is already working on it and it is expected to be unlocked by late 2012/early 2013..so i read, and lg once replied to a customer (dutch) and said the 4.1 JB was due to be released in january 2013..but i think that was before the release of the optimus G o_o
I think that if you for some reason cant get your hands on a nexus 4 or a galaxy s3, you should go for the 4x :good:

About the display...I love the Optimus Black IPS display. You can use under the sunlight with no visual problems, that's one of the reason to stay with LG's phones. Unfortunately the N4 is not available in Brazil yet...so I can't have it. But it doesn't have SD expansion so it's not my first option. And yes, I have the O4X as option 'cause of the price. It's cheaper than S3 and GORGEOUS.
Hello friends, I wonder how many here on the forum xda have a galaxy mini and would like to have the BM2 on their devices?

Dear Omni ROM team,
ever since waiting for my upgrade to Android 4.0.4 on my LG Optimus 3D, I was wondering, how the community would treat such devices in the near future.
Why is a 2011 smartphone already considered "old" and why not ? The Optimus 3D is no exception here and I hope I can start a discussion about this matter here.
On my Optimus 3D I can run (nearly) any app, without problems, without frameloss. I can take photos in a good quality, I can listen to mp3s, use it as flashlight, I can use youtube, facebook or use it as a navigation system. It tells me about the weather, I can recieve emails and sms and in the end I can use it as phone. Just like any other smartphone.
I have to admit, I dont have OctaCore, I dont have 4 GB of RAM and I cant use the android PS2 emulator above 12 fps. But that is okay to me. Maybe adding a lighter to smartphones would be a good idea. Or a knife, or a screwdriver...
Im not one of those "Hey, I got the newest Android Custom ROM on my device, how about you ?" guys. But for sure I dont want to be the last guy on earth using 4.0.4. Also, I wont buy a new device, just to have a newer android running.
For example, I maybe think of the day that I want to download an app and it will throw out an error ala "You need Android 4.4 to run this", while I know, that my device is still able to run that app / still powerfull enough to run that app.
I just recieved a LG G2 from my provider today and already decided to sell it on eBay. It wont recieve Android 4.3 and probably around march 2014, LG might introduce Android 4.4 for it. Might...sounds just like the story of the Optimus 3D to me. Sounds just like the story of most other smartphone brands out there.
Google claims, KitKat "was made" for devices with 512 MB RAM. Hey, I DO have that ! :highfive:
So why cant I use it ? :crying:
I know, it will never come. Neither from LG, nor from Cyanogen. Maybe as OmniROM ? I dont think so.
But why is that ? Is it "just" the huge variety of different smartphone models that makes development teams concentrate on the "newer" ones only ?
Are there just too many different smartphones around...too many to cover them all with custom roms ?
Why even include a function like OTA into smartphones, if a smartphone is already considered "old" after 1 year and beeing forgotten ?
It happened on the notebook/netbook/laptop market already. 10+ year old devices running on WIndows 7. Linux, Mac OSX and even Android (x86) made it into the PC sector.
Even the HTC Dream has a higher Andorid version then mine now. And it (nearly) works perfect.
I can see Optimus 3D development coming to a stop soon on xda. I try to understand why, but it is not easy.
What are your thoughts ?
•Lack of proper documentation .. (similar to galaxy nexus)
•Lack of a dedicated device maintainer(must for omni rom )
• that time developers now shifted to newer devices
• optimus3d was never a flagship ..hence never got any real attention..
•too heavy
•dedicated device owners who got lg g2 decided to sell g2 instead of o3d

Maybe LG will re-think about their update policy next year... x'D
I use a LG G3, 2 years later, looking at LG G5... Its ugly, smaller screen, no back buttons, no wireless charging, disappointed, so... now looking at P9 Plus as the best phone out there... Where are you coming from? And why the interest in the P9?

P9 plus will be expensive..
For me apealing features :
64gb+4gb+DualSim+IrBlaster+5.5InchScreen+FingerprintReader+DualSpeakers
(Other main features are add on for me ?? )
Like force touch+3400mAh+price+......
ALL THESE TOGATHER....finally!!!
Is there any phone with same or more features combined
Yes there was a phone with almost same features. ...HTC ONE ME but screen little small and Zero development.... so sad
Hope P9 Plus will get good support from Devs here in XDA
I am interested in the P9 Plus or the HTC 10, I'll be coming from a HTC M9+, I am also interested in the big screen, IR and stereo speakers. I just worry about the speediness of Huawei on OS upgrades. Not sure the P8 has officially got Marshmallow everywhere yet, so Lord knows when you'd get Android N with the P9 or P9 Plus

Totally agree, this is like the phone I've been waiting for since I got my G2. Unfortunately to me the 3rd party dev support is what's gonna make it or break it...
I've been a loyal BlackBerry user for as long as I've had a smartphone: 9000, 9800, Z10, Z30 and currently Passport. Unfortunately even I've had to admit that BB10 is in it's final death throes. I flirted with the Sony Xperia S between the 9800 and the launch of the Z10 and the 3rd party ROM development was a big attraction. However the spec of the P9 Plus ticks all the boxes and coupled with the fact that I'm a Leica owner anyway, the draw (gimmick) of the Leica tie in, means that even without the ROM development the P9+ is likely to be my next phone.
Do any of you know when this is coming to NA?

Coming from the 1+1, i dont like the screen and touchscreen sensitivity.. If the 9+ gets CM or AOSP Roms i will buy one. Altough i wanted the SD 820 more.

SII was the BEST phone of all galaxies until 6 edge released, on SII was all nice and smooth
Planning to come from Note 2... if everything goes well... especially price and dev support.

I hope the dev community gets even a little support, because I plan to come from a ZTE Axon Elite, the Mate 8 has a decent amount of dev support including ROM's and stuff so hopefully the P9 Plus does too. Other than that, the AMOLED display, the faster more efficient processor, bigger battery, and (hopefully) better camera are drawing me over my current device, I would highly doubt audio is better though.

Here are a few articles on P9/Plus.
==>
weak:
-****ty default UI & bloatware
-camera is decent but not breaking headlines
good:
apart from the weakness, all is superb
==>
so if someone from xda released an excellent and stable custom rom 6 month after release, this will fix the ****ty UI and bloatware problem, and the phone shall be one of the best on the market. Yes?!
If so i'm gonna make the switch from my iphone 6 plus
Have a Sony Z2 since release and searching for a new phone. I am interested in the camera, big memory and battery. Seems like a great phone! Hope the "bugs" will be fixed like battery drain and something with the SD-card not being able to behave like internal memory (please correct me).
Only a month left until I am able to buy a P9 plus. Oh, it is not shipped with the possibility to use 2 sims here in Sweden.

I came from an iPhone 6s plus and i must add that im blown away by the speed and smoothness of this phone.
Another thing to consider is the sustained performance that the phone can deliver, i haven't noticed any throttle after 1+ hours of gaming.
