hey there, everyone had seen HTC one X, it got really great UI and design.
Our O2X is not bad at all, but maybe there is someone who can port ONE X desing for LG Optimus 2x. It would be great
Not getting another tegra phone, sticking with my o2x for a couple of years then moving to something thats properly supported.

I shall +1 to that, sir !

WHY you both are making Off-topic and just don't answer a question?
Maybe it would be possible to make a theme, but I think the design is too much 2.2/2.3 for a 4.0 phone!
OT: I don't like the one x. The support will be bad and the new tegra games don't run fast enough on it. And I read in a few reviews, that the one x is sometimes a bit laggy because of late deactivation of the suspend core...
ONE X is like the O2X, HTC rushed it so that they'll be the first quadcore phone that is why the software is having lots of issues , and sense 4 is slow(reading reports from the one X users at XDA).
One s is the way to go! (':

Various benchmarks are poorer of one x than dual core. May be it dint use all cores. And battery is too worst on quadcores

yes. i think it still uses a 42mn processor, combined with 4 cores. no full day use for most people D:
anyone hear about he Meizu MX? been reading about it, pricing is very attractive, new quad core A9 from samsung, 1.5gig, 1gig of ram. screen is right about the iphone 4s with 291ppi (dont quote my specs as i dont remember them all).
I'm thinking about it as an alternative, with pricing for the 32gig at around 425usd it's alot more attractive than the htc one x (priced above 550usd) and probably the SGS3 (when i comes out) will be priced similiar to HTC one x.
only issue is its only sold in china
Have both phones..
Not everything mentioned here is true..
After todays update, pretty much all lag is gone..
Antutu score above 11000
Camera is fantastic
All in all å good phone.. Just hope they will fix the batt drain.. Moderate use today is about 14-18 hours.. Standby drain is VERY good, but screen kills the batt..
Without using screen.. Only Standby, id bet the phone would manage 3-4 days

ok so to do this you have to have a rooted phone and maybe custom rom for certain tips
1) not everyone will want to do this but, for me I mainly use my phone for things like facebook,chrome,texting,instagram social stuff and to be honest the proccesor at 2,2ghz in unnecessary for these apps, I would recommend people like me use the app 'setcpu' and underclock the phone to run at 1.2-1.5Ghz, i don't see any slow down! you can set things to change for example 'if gets below 10% it will allow you to underclock more to save battery' or if 'certain apps open it will fasten'
2) custom rom, use smart 3g, this will turn your phone to 2g when phones screen is off so you still get notification but is'nt draining as much battery
any more tips reply and ill add!
Could you give more details about your personal setup, like what ROM do you use and so on?!?
Everyone has different usage, so this won't help anyone.

Agreed. I can get 5+ hours on a Mixture of HSPA+ and WiFi overclocked to 2.5GHz.... too many variables including signal strength and how the phone is used.
I guess the CPU speed shouldn't matter since the nexus 4 is still butter smooth running at that speed.

I'm sure "this won't help anyone" is a bit much. The guy is sharing a tip that might help people. Saying that it's not going to help a single individual in all of the forums that has a Nexus 5 is ignorant.

I suppose really the claim in the OP is that these settings will give you over 6 hours screen on time. You're right that it will help some people, but it also will not help others. Perhaps a better thread title would be to state that these are tips to increase screen on time.

I've been averaging 5hours with LTE on all day one gmail account syncing email only. 2hours of Pandora various browsing on xda, eocf, overclockers forum, Facebook via browser about 20minutes of voice calls, gtalk all day with the wife, etc, etc. This is with every ROM I've run so far all with stock CPU settings. Also, currently running the linaro ROM with the linaro Franco kernel and the moto x dalvik patch extremely debloated.
This thread is pretty helpful to me. If you don't find it helpful, it's not required reading.
I'm considering setting up a Tasker profile to manage CPU speed. However, I'm trying to get an understanding of default behavior before I go changing it. I've been checking CPU range with ROM toolbox and the max seems to be changing. I'm assuming that this is due to throttling.
If that's correct, what is the absolute max set to by default?

sour grapes... it will help some ppl, not others... which goes for just about every thread at XDA.
I'd much rather see "partially helpful" threads than not. I can pick and choose which apply to me, rather than not seeing them at all.
Instead of using the steps in the OP, I just use DS Battery Saver and Greenify. It's that easy.
My battery life doubled when I knocked down the screen brightness from 2/3 to about 1/3. The screen is still plenty bright at that setting, and the battery is much, much better.
Yes brightness is a big help. I use "display brightness" which puts an invisible slider up the left edge of my phone screen so I can manually adjust to my liking

Just fyi, your phone does not run that speeds at all time. You can also lower the minimum frequency and it will help alot. Lowering mine from 1100 to 600 helped a lot.
Anyone have any experience with this? Was thinking of switching to it, because it sounds like it could give a major performance boost to the phone, but am unsure because it is so new.
Anyone with major bugs because of switching to ART? Is it possible to revert back to dalvik once you switch to ART or are you locked in?
I experienced a visually slight performance boost.
WhatsApp won't work. Had a pain to get it working again after going back to Dalvik. Had to revert to 4.2.2, root, then update to 4.4 again. For that matter I'm not using it again until we get 4.4.2 which fix these issues.
If you ever switch to ART, you wont be able to use whatsapp even if you switch back to dalvik. You'll have to flash back to 4.2.2 and take the 4.4 OTA to get whatsapp to work again
I couldn't upload photos to FB every other version when ART was enabled. You can switch back and forth as often as you'd like, just prepare for a lengthy boot when switching to ART.
Waiting for 4.4.2 as other poster said. Currently running dalvik. I do think it runs better with ART. Snappier.

I don't think I'd use ART on the Moto X quite yet. Moto has apparently optimized the qualcomm dalvik libs quite a bit to give the moto x a smooth fluid UI. ART will probably be better for the moto x eventually but I'm guessing it's not optimized for a specific phone at the moment.

It's fast. I used to use dalvik for about a week than switched to art. I've used art for more than a month now. I have a lot of third party's apps installed, even nonmarket ones. My Moto x is on 4.4 and rooted. I've never experienced any issue since I'm on art. Don't use Whatsapp or games though.

I'm not saying it won't work, used ART on my N4 and S4 but I'm skeptical you are going to see better performance with ART vs. the highly optimized dalvik libs used by motorola for the moto x. Especially since it's unlikely google has optimized ART for specific hardware at this point.
In my experience with ART on the N4 and S4, some tasks seemed quicker, some seemed the same and some felt slower but I definitely took a hit in battery life. I'm guessing ART on the Moto X would have a similar reaction, some tasks might seem a little quicker but I'm betting battery life is going to take a hit as well as other tasks that rely on moto x specific hardware.
I could be wrong though since I've never used a moto x (just ordered mine about 12hrs ago so I'm waiting impatiently)

It's really hard to compare speed and other behavior between two runtimes if you don't have two equal phones and run both systems simultaneously. I never complained that Moto x wasn't fast when I used dalvik. It seems even more responsive now under art but it might be a subjective performance evaluation, you never know if you don't have comparable reference. Anyway I think that dalvik on android is more past than future and if you don't have a specific reason to use dalvik you should give art a shot.
Good like with your new Moto x. I believe you'll like it.:good:
I switched to ART a few weeks back, and at that time thought I noticed a slight improvement in overall performance. I was pleased. After about a week, I installed Xposed. Unbeknownst to me, Xposed automatically reset the phone to dalvik (xposed is not ART compatible). I did not notice the change for several days, until I happened to see the runtime setting on the developer options screen. To me, this is good evidence for a placebo effect.
But try it yourself. You can always go back.

Exactly! Optimized Dalvik on Moto X is as good as ART if not better.
Enviado de meu XT1058 usando Tapatalk
There really is no benefit to art on the Moto x. It has hugely optimized davik libs. Now if Moto gives an update that has optimized art libs, it would be amazing. But for now, I am willing to bet that any performance increase is a placebo.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I only really saw a performance boost between ART and Dalvik when I was using recent apps. There was really only like a milisecond difference between the two, but it was enough to annoy me. Battery life is really good on ART, didn't notice enough of a difference between the two.
Having used ART on my Nexus5 and MotoX I can say that it is definitely faster and better battery life. Not just placebo but thorough testing and look at the battery threads on both forums for proof. I will say that the difference was greater on the Nexus5 than on the MotoX but I feel that Google designed the 5 with ART in mind. MotoX still has a good improvement and I have no reason to go back to dalvik.

I have been running art since it's release and love it. After numerous tests on two moto x's it is noticeably smoother. Much smoother. Battery life is a little better and certain apps open twice as fast While others do not open faster. I have 300 apps on my phone and since titanium added art support I have not found any app that does not work except xposed.

Just thought I'd give my opinion as well. I've used ART on both the Nexus 5 and Moto X, and so far from my usage, there's noticeable improvement in performance and battery life versus dalvik.

Truth is, no one knows--it's anecdotal and small sample sizes at best. Use whichever placebo floats your boat.
After 2 weeks on ART, back to Dalvik. ART maybe faster (maybe placebo effect), but delivers lots of small irritations: calenders lost (solved only by reboot), evernote FC-ing (for the interested, when taking page picture), etc-etc.. All of them small by themself, but adding together: too many small problems to stay with ART.
Sorry to say, but IMHO ART is just not ready for showtime yet..
I ask this because I had it on my S4 and it actually made it laggier and less responsive, so I don't want to go through the trouble of putting it on the X and having the same issue.

It does add some lag. Comparing my X (rooted with Xposed/GravityBox/Moto Tether/Greenify/YouTubeAdAway) to my sister's completely stock X, my phone will encounter a random stutter from time to time. However, I'm a far more intensive user so I have more apps, which are generally more resource intensive as well, open on my phone. Battery life hasn't suffered though.
Cool thanks guys. Decided to go for it and so far so good. Damn this phone is great!
What XPosed and Gravity tweaks are your favorites for Moto X?
Xposed modules: GravityBox, Moto Tether
GravityBox: I use PIE controls (which are limited) and hide the nav bar to give me more screen.
Hey all.
I'm new to Moto G6, it's going to be my 3rd Android device. And I'm about to buy it.
But in the forums, people complain about the lag in apps and software but reviews say the phone is very snappy and responsive.
What are your opinions on this? Is the phone performance good or...?
It's much better than other 4xx based Snapdragon processor. It's fast as HTC U11 Life
No problems with mine. Fast and buttery smooth.

You make a good point about the Moto forums which brings me to comment on what you have read on reviews. If you mean reviews on various tech blogs, keep this in mind. Those are not always real world reviews. They are not loading the phone down with apps as they probably do with their personal devices. Also keep in mind that they may or may not be paid for the review. In either case if the manufacturer is giving them the device, even if they are not paying the reviewer, they risk being cut off from being gifted more devices.
I don't have the G6. I have the G6+ which I suspect you know has different hardware then the G6. So I can't actually give you an honest first hand review. However, for what it's worth, I have been posting in the G6 forum for months and have not noticed any complaints of this nature.
If you like custom roms, the G6 is not a good choice though!

Yes. And that is why i turned to the good old XDA for performance reviews. Running bechmarks repeatedly doesn't dertermine the performance of the device nor running all the apps alltogether and saying that device handles all the apps and the apps launch fast from the RAM doesn't mean the device is fast. Apps need to launched from a Cold boot, Scrolling jank, How the apps behave when we are using them, What network, The other factors that determine the performance all needs to be included in the review.
If it were me, I would use this device for a solid 2 weeks before even giving the first impressions. These phone and Tech blogs don't even use device for 4 whole days yet they publish the review. What's the point of a review if they need to publish the review first and before other tech blogs. They are mere First impressions for pete's sake.
