Well guys im going to buy my first android on 18 July .! n im really confused by the comments n going through all the treads about the reboot related problems of this phone .! n now im really scared to buy this phone also i want a future proof phone as this will be my last phone from parents n i can buy my next phone after 3-4 yrs only ..! So guys plz help me weather to buy this phone or not .! Even if i get a defective piece will the problem be corrected in future updates or i will have to keep a defective phone for the next 4 years .! Also as in from india does India getting too much defective pieces ? or its just with some people when it comes to India ..
waiting for your suggestion ..!
Based on *my* experience I would not buy this phone again. It's unstable (over 60 recorded reboots since I bought the phone on April 18) and lacks proper support from LG (why does this not surprise me?). In my opinion, LG, again, fails to deliver on it's promises and keeps on spreading lies on whether or not an "update" fixes the reboot problem. I don't see this phone last for more than 2 years of intensive use, let alone 4 years. In that case, go for another brand although I won't start suggesting specific models.
FYI: I'm an experienced Android and used nearly every ROM available to remedy the problems I experienced.
Personally I think this phone is great. I hardly get any reboots or problems.
Install CM7, Paul's Modaco rom or the latest stock release and you'll be fine.

So mate u haven't got any problem like this before ? i mean the phone is all ok for ya ? rit ?
I'm also a happy owner of the 2x, that is however because I was able to buy it at less than half the retail price from the company I work at. As a lot of people already have mentioned the phones hardware is really good and by flashing custom ROM's like cm7 or Modace the phone becomes "ok" for everyday usage. However for a smartphone valued over 500€ it is way to buggy to stand up among its competitors in the same price range. Seriously; I simple cannot understand why anybody would buy this phone instead of, for example, the SII or the HTC Sensation. The 2x is a nice phone, no doubt about that, but I would seriosly save a couple of bucks and buy one of the other phones I mentioned = better hardware and working software + working customer support. (btw the camera is also lousy compared to the SII and Sensation - even with the HD mods...)
I'm not a LG hater, and I'm really happy with my 2x - seriously most people are still pretty much amazed by my phone when I'm toying aroung with it running cm7 with SPB Shell 3D, [email protected] 1,5ghz, dsp manager etc. but yeah It seriously cannot be compared to a Sensation or SII
I haven'd hat any reboot both with stock rom and custom roms. In my opinion stock rom was quite well usable except the battery drain. But Paul fixed it quite good, which makes it possible to charge the phone every second day with reasonable constant usage
kind regards
I cant compare to a Sensation or a SII since I haven't touched them but for me at this stage the LG is SUPER. Hope you made a good choice and that you are happy with it!
you buy't
I am a new user of this wonderfull phone. i have waiting a lot of time this phone because is like samsung s2 on the performance but on a price much afordable. On this phone you pay only the hardware and software of the amazing android but on the HTC and Samsung a 10% you pay the logo, the brand. good luck and from my experience i recomend't
I´m very satisfied whit my LG and haven´t had any problems whit it
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

same here.. great quality and "open" like a google dev phone haha
I have it from the early begining and used only with MoDaCo ROMs , had no problems. Would buy it again.
Actualy I believe that most of the problems other have is because of basebands version incompatibility with instaled RIL...
I like my LG 2X. To me it has the best spec for the price range and good ROM from Paul and CM7. But if money is not a problem, get galaxy S2.
Hi Guyz
I like playing with custom roms & mods recently i use optimus one than Defy i enjoy both of them than i got OB i bought this just bocz its low cost with high specs but after entering to OB thread i saw that there is not much dev here for our OB and very few custom roms available for us after spending 2mnth my favorite rom & his maker lives his job i m taking about Knzo i m really so now i m got offer from 1 person on net to exchange his galaxy s i9000 with my OB so i need some advice from all of u guyz what should i do?
Thanks for ur valuable time for reading & helping me
I really don`t think that guy offerd you his galaxy S for your OB just because OB doesn`t have so much dev support, I think he did it just because OB it`s a better device and in a short matter of time will get much more custom roms than we have right now. we almost have CM 7.1 working now....I`m using it as my daily use right now and it`s awsome. be patient, OB will be a great phone
I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and i was pretty happy,but i know this same feeling is approaching to our LG OPTIMUS BLACK...and i can barely wait for mui roms, cm7 roms...and later on gingerbread update so....stay tuned....
the best for the patience one
just wait for the complete CM7
I have this phone and Samsung Galaxy S2 although GS2 beats it in every test
some odd reason I prefer the Optimus Black and it will be so much better with Gingerbread so my advise is be patient like the rest of us
I think you shoul keep OB it's great and have so many native features that you don't need to download this and that to make those things [i.e. screen shot] even the factory rom, kernel, etc, are good I don't have any of those just rooted it and works pretty awesome actually
If you love to play with roms I think you better go with Google phones like the Nexus ones. Otherwise, keep the OB.
Hey, be patient, wait stable and fast CM release
Yesterday I find a way to take 3500+ in quadrant It is a very nice score. OB look very nice, and has a briliant display, anything is good.
Thanks to all of u guyz today i found a Chinese website over there i found many custom roms for OB i m downloading now lets see how its works

Give a try of this phone man,
for this price i dont think it is a better phone at the moment Its really nice build quality really
May be thats only me,but i really dislike the feel of a Samsungs for now wtf
The difference is like You take example: cheap amplifier and the nice Onkyo one.... you feel it really when use the device itself or an Acer compared to Thinkpad
I hope this will change with Nexus Prime
I am not a gamer,so for me its ok for now and cant find that combinationrice+4 inch great display+nice build quality+verry stylish+rare look(i mean everyone have HTC,SGS,iPhone)

We all hope to see better days at this point... It will be great and will give new vallue of this great hardwere combination

I had the chance to play around with an Optimus 2x and I have to say I regret that I didn't save some more $$ and get that instead of OB. It's incredibly fast and snappy. It also looks very cool.
Any1 tried above mention Chinese custom roms
Would such a thread be allowed here? Most other device forums have such a thread and it serves as a general OT thread to cut away the number of created threads. I searched briefly before starting this and did not come across anything similar.
So, let me start off. I am an S5 G900F user since a few weeks back and I'm still running it stock without root. Yes, all the bloat and stuff that comes with but in my defense I'm running Nova Launcher Prime on top.

But I'll wait for cm12 now. I'm on cm11 nightly 8.11. and next flash will be cm12.

They both have their pro`s and cons. CM is not pure AOSP either as isn`t TW as they are both heavily modified. I love the Samsung camera software which makes great pics. The CM ones are ok but in quality their less than sammy`s. The XtreStolite as i have it is 650MB as i have some TW modules flashed that i wanted. Performance is great and batterylife is very good, its about on par for performance but less batterylife on CM. Its all about preference off course but in usability/compatability TW is the winner imo.

The Samsung Camera takes greats photos, yes, but the interface seems a little cluttered. It feels as if they wanted to make something good but ended up just packing every possible setting into it with no real logics applied.

True, its a bit chaotic because of the many features they put into it, but Lollipop will bring many changes to TW and its apps/widgets i believe.
Had a quick change of heart. I'm now rooted with TWRP installed.

Congratulations! Soon you will be seeing "kernel is not seandroid enforcing! Set warranty bit: kernel" at every boot . I tried to start a thread like this with the name "General Thread" but it got lost. Glad this one got some attention had some good chats at our s3 thread haha. I hate having a new phone, I reboot and flash so many times then flash again bc I didnt like it or found something else. Mostly kernels, I'm on hacker kernel currently, seems we don't have many kernels. I think Ktweaker is overrated, it has a lot of features but feels a bit bloated and sluggish at times

I know, and I'm proud of it. Shows I've tampered with my phone and not staying stock. I should almost frame it and put it on my wall: "The day I finally tampered with my S5". Hahaha.
Not running XtreStoLite, though. I'm full blown CM 11 nightlies. I LOVE vanilla and I can't stress that enough.

I like the fingerprint too much. I have a need for security and like it to be quick. Its more reliable than face unlock. Plus its one of the unique features that won me over from the z2 which I very nearly got, I wish they would've used open sources. I feel like I'm having a break from CM after using it for so long, touchwiz is forgiving enough to use this time around, and I still get a taste of aosp when I use my nexus 7. Now do I flash L or not? I have a deb and L has no working data. I don't actually use a sim in it hardly it just happens to be the device I could get credit on. My problem is I have OCD and if I know something is not working it will bug the hell out of me even if I don't use it. But im dying to taste lollipop!

I like the fingerprint thingy too but it's too unreliable for me. I wish it was like TouchID.
I'm like that too, if something doesn't work I'm bothered immensely by it, even if I don't specifically use that feature. Luckily, everything seems to work on CM. Maybe not as well as on TW, but they still work.

It works well for me after training it a few times. I notice cases with a lip require special technique to get a full swipe. A touch sensor would work better but they avoided getting sued yet again by the control freak idea stealing/patenting that is apple, so they used swipe like the atrix. I would have used that as a court weapon to exploit apples "originality". Get that finger scanner working and I will happily ditch TW

Couldn't have said it better myself. A work mate I got into our current employer from our previous unreliable job switched from samsung s2 to Iphone 5s and now loves it. He laughs at the size of my s5. Whats most annoying is that he bases his preference on how the phone feels. Put a one m8 or galaxy alpha in his hands please
The only thing that's getting to me is the Knox flag, I know it doesn't hinder warranty in e.u etc etc, but not being able to put the phone fully back to stock is getting to me

Screw knox. I'm experiencing some reboots and even happened once before rooting. I have every intention of sending it back with a detailed letter of my usage, mods and findings to prove that my meddling is not to blame. I noticed that undervolting made it 10 times worse, perhaps my device needs higher than stock voltage?? At any rate I love this thing so much I've managed to keep in looking like new in a case. I hate cases, the only blemishes are on the battery door from fiddling with the charging cover. Expecting a slim armor tomorrow because the neo hybrids edges are too "square" making it difficult to hold, hope this case is easier to hold

Was wondering how hard it would be to port it to our device if there are not much differences
I really hope some wonderful devs port Lollipop G3 ROM to our Device.

same here we definitely have a lack of support for our device
We can all become devs if our time allows.. I myself almost complie a cm11 til i find out there is some coding myself to make it work because is unofficial, but little by little im getting to the point that i feel i can contribute to the community, like i said is can be hard if you let it be.. There is alot info, forums and help from google and even cm itself... To start with i mean you have to have some knowledge and never giving up, at least is working for me

i hear you i tried a bunch of guides but i cant seem to pinpoint where im going wrong plus with the g3 leak of android 5 i wouldn't know where to start there are significant differences such as hardware and key components that need to be striped and customized to work with our device. for that we need the experience of a of senior lvl dev

I'm gonna help everyone out here. The G3 leak will not make it to our device. All the apps are made to work on that 2k even (i.e all the apps have huge images) every app would have to be decompiled individually and resized to fit our screen. Then they would have to be modded (depends on what needed done) to work on our phone. Way to much work and possibly not even possible with kernel, etc that would need done.
As for support unfortunately we dont have many devs due to just not being a popular device and the locked down boot loader. We lost D-FUSE and justinwidebody to the G3, we do have playfulgod who's okay (definitely joking) and i know mattwheat is working on some stuff. When i get time I'm going to get back to working on my g3 themed ROM (some apps already ported by another user just need tweaked), but sadly I'm far from a dev so I won't be much help with big problems like cm11.
I do recommend everyone just jumping in and doing what they can. I started with small theme changes moved to small mods following guides and eventually released my first ROM in the note 2. You really can learn and we'll need all the help we can plus most people here are pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Definitely hear you loud and clear that's was my first assumption but how would it be possible for the g2 to receive a complete port of the ROM from the G3 that cloudfy came out with the g2 has Noway near a the same specs as the g3. That's something that I thought about but even with that said wouldn't it still be possible to exclude the lg apps and just push out everything that is non compatible for our device. But I am still doing some research and learning along the way don't want to release anything until I have a full understanding of what I'm actually doing.

Looking at Cloudys threads i think it's their stock g2 ROM with the g3 apps ported. I'm saying that because all his ports use the same kernel. If it was really 3 different base ROMs that wouldn't work. I could be confused though and completely wrong. If that's the case then that's what I'm working in for us (or will if i ever get time. It won't be to the level of perfection his it's though. One thing to keep mind if that it's the case is its really hard to port apps from a higher version of android. I never said a full port was impossible, just that i highly doubt it happens. I'm pretty sure playfulgod isn't going to do it. I know I'm not even going to try. Not sure about matt or if there's adev hiding in the wings who may give it a go.

If it was really 3 different base ROMs that wouldn't work. I could be confused though and completely wrong. If that's the case then that's what I'm working in for us (or will if i ever get time. It won't be to the level of perfection his it's though. One thing to keep mind if that it's the case is its really hard to port apps from a higher version of android. I never said a full port was impossible, just that i highly doubt it happens. I'm pretty sure playfulgod isn't going to do it. I know I'm not even going to try. Not sure about matt or if there's adev hiding in the wings who may give it a go.

Is anybody here who can port G3 rom to G Flex?? anybody help us.
Kintwofan is right. If you're gonna port it needs to be a like brand, like resolution, like CPU / GPU. Makes it so much easier. Decompiling then recompiling and not finding out till its to late that something had an error when recompiling or when signing can be a ***** to find and or recover from late in the game. Or to find out all together that your hours on hours of hard work was for nothing. The g2 is more on our "like" side.

Plus if you're just wanting lollipop apks on your phone. Most google apks have already updated and if not you can always download the 5.0 gapps extract and replace some don't work but most do. I've done it and use the google launcher. Almost has an aosp feel.

Its easier to port g3 Roms to g2 due to all the the screen size (res folders). Going to our device with lower resolution and bigger screen seems like a lot of work. It would be much easier I think to get the android 5.0 SDK images and build aosp from source or wait on cm-12

Cool sounds like a good place to start but even if we do build a asop ROM wouldn't we need a base to get everything working
i hereby pledge 25$ to who ever can make this happen, or some kind of split between a team. lets kickstart this thing guys., make some pledges...motivate some devs....devs...if you succeed at first only release to verified donators...like a early access program (but still release for free down the line) but time is money guys!!! these guys got lives and jobs and all that...we gotta help make their hobby lucrative. its only fair
sprint g4 99whatever model. currently zv6 on ultrapop 1.4 with xposed. but I NEED ASOP...omg..my galaxy s3 makes me jealous

If you need aosp then why did you get a G4 to begin with?
Just as an FYI, I plan on making an AOSPish rom based on stock, but will the system will be gutted to just framework and needed basics. It will prob exceed AOSP performance and will also have everything working unlike real AOSP builds that always have bugs and only basic drivers which don't allow camera and other system parts take advantage of proprietary drivers and hardware. I'm getting closer to finishing it and will update more through next week's. I know you want true AOSP and Recovery, but we have a locked boot loader and blown q fuse which makes it unbearable to hack.

@Agimax, I see you have on your signature that you're running UltraPOP V1.50 HiPerf.
Will you be releasing this to us mere mortals?

Yes, he will. Myself and a few others are beta testing it (it's awesome ) and then he will release in the next few days I'm guessing (I don't want to speak for him just guessing based on previous releases.
Excellent! Looking forward to trying it out. So far all other versions have been outstanding.

Yep, you will have it tomorrow if no bad reports come back from the testers. So far i have only received great feedback. The two large 1.8 ghz cores are underclocked to 864 mhz, but it feels like the phone is overclocked due to the touchboost / ondemand governor tweak combinations. I think you will all enjoy it, i still can't believe the difference, like night and day from 1.42. So damn snappy!

I might be bending a forum rule by posting somewhat off-topic in this thread, but I just wanted to post that I am very much in support of a project like the one you describe, for exactly the reasons you describe. One of my favorite ROMs in the past was Bareback for the EVO 4G LTE, a stripped down Sense ROM -- light and speedy, but with the HTC drivers needed to make the camera on that device still look good.
TWRP for the Sprint LG G4 could only improve development for everyone, though, so I'm in fully in favor of that, too (boom, back on topic.)
Hopefully we will get a boot loader unlock. But a TWRP build for us would be good.

Nothing is going to happen until you can flash a new kernel/recovery - or has that been resolved now?
G4 is currently in works for CM and if we can ever flash a kernel/recovery I'll jump in and help too.

because since when does lg and sprint lock bootloaders? i got the phone when it was brand new and it still doesnt have twrp. others variants do. you assume brand new flagship phones will be hacked very fast. ill never get a lg phone again however unless its a nexus. samsung for life! (except garbage s6 with no sd card)

Agimax you have done a lot of work for us, and I will be donating to you very soon. Waiting on school money in 3 weeks. (approx the 4th week of june I pledge you 25$. Your roms are a great improvement and whenever I have problems you answer me. It is greatly appreciated and I am sorry I have not donated to you sooner. The bounty will continue for anyone else who can contribute to this piece of junk with an amazing camera....I encourage others to raise my bounty.
off topic if anyone wants to trade me a sprint galaxy s5 or equivalent HTC for my lg g4.........
