I just recently broke my old android and was looking to upgrade. The 2x stuck out because of the price/specs to me. Why is a phone thats compared in reviews to the galaxy sII which costs used around 450/500 (canadian$) so cheap? I can find a perfect condition 2x for around $200???? Is there something wrong with these phones? I can imagine when a good build of ICS comes out that these phones will fly...... so I guess my question is, howcome?
De O2x is a good phone the price is really worth it, you won't be missing much. The only thing I can think of that makes it cheap is because LG don't spend much on marketing and support.

LG and Nvidia dont care for their consumers enough. The phone had lots of problems in the first few months and that made many people sell it/return it. Its true the price is incredibly low now and if the price difference is so big, then you should go for the Optimus 2x. Also we don't really know when ICS will come for our device. LG said Q3.. this could mean december( I personally bet on that ). Nvidia could help developers by releasing some code, but they won't so screw them
Can you believe they only just released gingerbread for Optimus 3d? Lol I was about to get rid of my o2x but then there ain't much other phones are offering that I'm missing out on and selling wud make me lose. If there wasn't so much support on here I'd sold it for anything lol

Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering if I was awaiting a nasty surprise when i buy for for $200, but it doesnt really seem like it. I guess the phone at least keeps up with other phones that have just come out. Is there a rom that is heavily favoured on the o2x forums - in regards to free ram/speed/not a lot of junk installed?
CyanogenMod KANG of course, along with a custom kernel it works perfectly. Look at my signature for the links...

Thanks for all the help. Still a little skeptical .... but only because its so cheap im going to go ahead and buy it. One more question, what is the difference between all these kernals? I assume I flash the rom, then flash one of the following kernals:
Normal version
32M ramhack shared
32M ramhack
64M ramhack
First of all vadonka explained everything in his thread so you could've found out if you read it, yet maybe you didn't understand it so I'll explain it
Base version: no extra ram memory, everything works like how it's supposed to be. This one I recommend if you just want a stable phone with everything working.
32MB shared version: AFAIK, this version has 32MB extra ram memory because it shares this extra 32MB with the GPU (correct me if I'm wrong guys ) this isn't really important anyway, all you have to know that this version used to be a little buggy, so if you want a stable phone I won't recommend this one.
32MB Ramhack version: this version also gives you 32MB extra ram memory, but this isn't shared with the GPU. Therefore this version is also really stable and I'm using it too. However, only reboot doesn't work with this version because of the ramhack from the GPU.
64MB Ramhack version: this version gives you 64MB extra ram memory. This one is also very stable I think and because of the bigger ramhack compared to the previous version more things don't work. The things that won't work with this version is reboot and 1080p (and maybe 720p) video recording.
For more information go to the original thread (link in signature)
I didnt really understand it in the thread, thanks for taking the time. I just went out and bought the phone, I got it for $200 canadian (Still cant believe its this cheap).
make sure first the phone doesnt have faulty hardware that causes annoying random reboots. sometimes hidden faults are the reasons why phones are sold cheap. learned this the hard way.

Is there anyway to tell if I have a device thats faulty?
what i'd do is leave it charging over night with an alarm set for morning. i remembr lots of people having problems with these actions. basically theres no real way of finding this fault. I for one never had it good luck

Nothing is wrong but when the phone started to be sold the software was sad. This now it´s the past. The 2X works fine and it´s powerfull. And the G2? You have to remember it´s a newest phone and with the first android company on back.

A lot of people have said this problem disappeared with software upgrades, so I'd say this is not a hardware problem.

I also just recently bought the phone. From what I've ready LG has bad stock software and sub-par support. So I'd say they sell the phones cheap because they don't have a large development team. But we have Cyanogen, so it's a fair compromise for me
cm7 rocks..
do it first bro..
I was in same condition as you, but took this phone and using it.
I tried every custom roms, and finaly stable on cm7 kang.
.

The O2X is a capable phone. I have been using it for 4 months with no major issues other than reboots mentioned above. Temasek's CM7 KANG is well recommended. I'm happy with the performance and stability. The only gripe is the fact that the camera software with CM7 is not on par with the stock software regarding video recording in low light. The frame rate drops considerably. If the camera software was changed to fix this issue then I'd be 100% happy with the phone.

i agree. but i really do not understand why is the CM7 camera so much worse than stock LG (im actually amazed that lg did something better than cm ) the video is completely unusable and lg's camera has better brightness. also if you move just a LITTLE bit with CM7 camera you will get blurred out images, whereas on Lg's acmera i could move quite a lot and get much better results (anti shake was off cuz it made the pic taking slower for me)

I assume you're talking about how CM7's camera handles auto exposure. The overall quality however is admittedly worse due to lack of drivers source.
Hello everybody,
so now this is my first posting.
I took an advantage on ebay to get me a near new I9000 for a low price. I was interested to see how Android smartphones
work, what is inside and how to customize.
In between time and after reading much about ROM's and Kernels and so on i decided to go for the CyanogenMod ROM by pawitp.
When i finally got my I9000 to my surprise it was already rooted and had a CM11 flavor onboard.
So i took the chance and made a backup and did a full wipe etc.. and got the latest Nightly (2014_04_22) and the gaaps up
and running quite nicely.
No problems so far.
Everything is fine except the in-call volume on the handset.
Speaker volume and headset volume seem quite o.k. and are manageable through DSP Manager .
However, the earpiece volume is maxed-out but still much lower than on my stock S3 mini, which was given to me by my employer.
Stock and beyond any rooting or so...understandable?
So i read a lot and tried various apps (one after the other) (Voodoo sound, Volume+ to name two) as recommended here.
No avail. Volume of the earpiece seems to be quite a different beast.
What i did not try, and hopefully will not have to, are Meltus Volume hacks or manipulating values by the service codes.
So, does anybody have an idea if the CM11 will get around this problem one day or the other?
I do not want to use another ROM nor do i feel i want another Kernel to mix with.
Perhaps this thread is obsolete, so please put me into the right direction if so.
Or, maybe someone who is allowed to do so can transport this Q into the ROM thread of pawitp.
Thank you all for you attention and have a nice day.

It might be the highest limit to the i9000 (It's an old phone, at least appreciate it for even running). However, I suggest you do change your ROM once, just to check if it is a problem with your ROM. If you do change, I suggest trying Paranoid Android or OmniROM. At times, the Kernel might also make a change. If again you do want to change your Kernel, I suggest Semaphore 3.4.3 or Mackay Kernel
Hit Thanks if I helped!

Thank you for the answer.
Sure: You are right it is an "old" phone.
And i appreciate the work of the volunteers to keep it up and running.
Hopefully i will find the time during the next days to follow your advice.
Maybe i will even try to go back to stock and check how the phone behaves in it's original environment.
At the moment i am puzzled by another problem. I miss FM radio so much.
Seems as if this feature is missing in a whole lot of ROMs because of massive changes of the "ekosystem" to put it in my words.
But this is not the thread for that. I have to read and learn a lot.
Again, thank you.

Frank

About the Radio thing, I think you can download another Radio app like this one. If that doesn't work, I'm guessing then Radio might be disabled in your ROM. Semaphore has the option of enabling or disabling FM Radio.

Yes.
I went back to the stable release CM10.2 .
Somewhere on the internet i found a free beta from Spirit2 and installed it just for a test.
It did not run smooth but i could grab FM and listen by speaker and headphones.
What made me nervous is the "speaker damage" disclaimer...
As for the in-call volume: With 10.2 it seems to be louder.
Headphones and speaker are fine but earpiece (or handset?) still is a bit quiet for to use in noisy environments.
But anyway. Before taking further action i test a while.
I want to use this phone as a private phone when i am on commissioning jobs. I often work at industrial sites and since i am not allowed
to make any private calls off my companies' S3 mini i thought it was a good idea to carry a relatively cheap and reliable smartphone
with me.
Besides the academical aspect to know what makes a smartphone work i want a useful and stable operating system without any bloatware.
I will keep in touch with the CM11 thread and from time to time check if they finally achieve a stable release.
Maybe a shoot a second SGS off ebay just to look after OMNI ROM as you suggested. :laugh:
By now i will stay with the CM10.2 and see if it is stable.
And yes, i am going to root my wifes's Xperia Pro

Xperias are a tough nut to crack. But, you will have fun rooting it. It took me 3 days (Spent 4 hours each) to get root and Install CM on an Xperia Arc S!

I got me another i9000 for cheap.
Running OMNI KitKat for now with nightly build.
That is a really nice ROM with a smooth feel and just as customizable as a an average user with passion for android can manage.
So thank you, Gokulbalram for the hint.

I need one cellphone for "productive use". Means that is has to work.
So to try something, and run the risk of having software or hardware problems for a few days, i need another device.
Plus it is nice to see how official CM11 and official OMNI CM11 compete.
At the moment i would say that OMNI is a little bit upfront. I am going to ask my son to put his SIM card to
it and try out and see if it is stable.

Hi,
My Droid mates, are you still using Droid 3? It has been collecting dust in my drawers for some time. Today I am going to give it a new life. Any development on the best ROMs? It seems to me that Cyanogemod has stayed cm-10.1-20140216-NIGHTLY-solana.zip for awhile. So what keeps you use this QWERTY?
i am using it.. no new development..
I am keeping mine as an emergency backup device in case my phone (Droid Maxx) spits the bit, but I'm a few months away from an upgrade (sometime this fall, most likely), and I'll likely retire the D3 for good. I still fire it up once a week or so to make sure all is copacetic in case I need it.
Man, is it slow and laggy though!
cm11
there is a cm11 for this phone, works rather well. but i find that if you have to many things installed. aka gapps.. its going to lag. so i used my tablet to send the device apks. like messenger, and it runs well now.
Could you provide a link? Thanks.

Sent from my XT861.
still using it, i'm with 2.3.4 version of xt860 kinda crappy now but i'm lookin a way to turn it into a 4.1
Unfortunately, despite many custom 4.x ROMs are available, I found none of them as fast and stable as 2.3.4 based ones.
wow this is totally depressing then. its terrible to dont be able to not use all apks out there cuz they would never work on 2.3.4, but whats bad about others roms that you hated?
All (almost all) are luggish, slow, and unstable. Camera doesn't work, in some ROMs there are problems with wifi, in some data connections break down. I had a lot more custom ROMs for my previous Milestone 2.
a real good one was my milestone 1 really nice, android 2.2 but ram memory sucked hard and internal memory also.
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------
hey did anyone test this rom cm11? cuz it didnt work on my xt860 ;/ and what gapps did u use?
I tested, but as I stated before, it is luggish and unstable. A lot worse than CM11 on Millestone 2.
Im still with xt860 because of its qwerty keyboard, and no newer phones with phisical keyb are avaiable here in brazil. I kinda regret selling the droid 2 to upgrade for the 3, I could never use a newer version than 2.3.6, too bad, its a nice hardware btw.
Just wanted to know that, becouse i will have to update the s.o version to install it (i have 4.1) but i dont know if it will work anyways.
Thanks.
Ive got CM 12.1 and my phone freezes when i try to start pokemon go. If you wait for it to load for like 30 minutes, you can hear the game music, but thats as far as i got.
I would also like to hear other people's experiences with pokemon go on the droid 4.
Ive got CM 13 and "pokemon go" work, but game very often freezes when I caught Pokémon 1/3.
and Gyroscope not work.

I'm not sure at the moment. Uninstalled Go after their cracking down on Xposed users and general falling out of style locally where I am.
If he wants to play Go on a D4 you'll have to do a lot of optimization because took some patient. I remember something with 2D textures and another with 3D decreasing to .5x or something. It's pretty easy to learn, just install and test out the main settings on the top mixing and matching on what helps the most.
Don't run stock for him. I'm current running KK (CM11) fine and Go worked decent with good optimizations. Might for him test out some of those overclocked kernels on here (low voltage ones too).
You're on the latest stock. There is a Nougat custom rom out (CM14?). Haven't tested too much, could be something good to look into.
For Go I would probably go with another device than a D4 sadly. Depends on who your brother is but he may not be very patient and wanting better speeds than what the D4 can offer with Go. May expect more from the D4 than it can offer. You're the judge, just a thought. You know him and your own ability.

He's got my old D3 at the moment. He likes it well enough. He wants an Iphone 5S and is into a lot of older things. He's a classic car buff. I figure the D4 will be an improvement on the D3 he currently has. He and Mom went to the Verizon store today to look into upgrading his 'dumb' phone to one of the latest and 'greatest'? phones and left with his old 'dumb' flip phone. That poor D3 is so old that store doesn't even have SIM cards to fit it anymore, so he can't use that for his regular phone. Again, I figure the D4 will rock for him, I have a SIM card for it and he has memory cards.
As far as fiddling with roms goes, I have enough experience to root 4.1.2 (Jellybean) and rock with Mike Reid's Spirit1 app. I haven't ever overclocked or fiddled with settings like that, since I prefer the stock roms usually. I wonder if I can find a stock KitKat (4.4) to flash and instructions on how to do that. The Pokemon Go app says it supports 4.4 up to 6.0, so I guess nougat is out of the picture since it's 7.0?
If I were to consider using the CM11 rom could you point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to flash the rom to the D4?
Do you know if CM11 is rooted? That might make life easier for me cuz I have a new to me D4 that needs to be rooted to run my favorite app and I haven't done it yet cuz it's a bit complicated for me.

First install SafeStrap (3.75) and reboot to recovery, then you're home. Wipe the stock, flash a different rom. Look for the updated CM11 on here, (updated 2016).
Hi,greetings my friends i need your help.
Can you give me your opinion what is the best ROM for Note?
My Cousin has given me it's phone and said to me that phone just laggs too much on samsung's stock 4.1.2 and asked me to do something with it so i tested Note for 2-3 hours and compared to my sony xperia z1c it really slow almost unusable so i just need some good ROM to be used as daily driver.
I don't have much time to test ROM's to find a good one so can you just recommend me one.
Thanks.

If stock is too slow then nothing could make it faster. Stock odexed is the fastest indeed.
The phone memory has damaged. It's a known issue.
