SGS2 is unparalleled, BUT Samsung should've stuck with 4 inch display.
[Galaxy S II General] Mew178:
Okay OP first of all.

The Tegra 2 is a "SoC chip" it has the same ARM Cortex A9 CPU.

It's the GPU thats different the ULP GeForce (GeForce GPU 333 MHz(T20)/300 MHz(AP20H) vs ARM Mali-400 MP

Wikipedia quoute :

"The Exynos 4210, unlike Tegra 2, features support for ARM's SIMD engine (Media Processing Engine, a.k.a NEON instructions) and this may have a significant performance advantage in some cases over Tegra 2 in critical performance situations such as accelerated decoding for multiple multimedia codecs and formats (e.g., On2's VP6/7/8 or Real formats)."

So in terms of processing power when it comes to video the Exynos SoC wins. When it comes to Tegra games we have yet to see an "emulator" of some sort to enable the playing og Tegra games on the Exynos Galaxy but if benchmarks are to be trusted the Exynos chipset lags behind just a few fps 1~5 behind the Nvidia Geforce ULP

More about it here

As for the Camera the Galaxy S2 can shoot video in 1080p @ 30 fps comapred to the LG O2X's 24 fps. And the actually camera on the device seems to be better on the samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] poofish:
Actually, the SGS2 has been able to play Tegra games for a while now.

Using Chainfire3D from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087427, and installing the Nvidia plugins, you can play any TegraHD game such as Samurai II: Vengeance etc. Performance is top-notch as well.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Thats personal preference, I personal think 4.3 inch is the optimal size.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Seems like the OP posted some obvious information to direct more traffic to his website that doesn't seem to even work...

Anyway, GSMArena did a much better article comparing the two: http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_s_ii_vs_galaxy_s_plus_vs_optimus_2x-review-602.php

Anyone know the name of the clock & weather widget on the LG?

EDIT: here is the answer to my question

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11192505&postcount=140
[Galaxy S II General] rex-tc:
Actually it can't do EVERY game and with most there are problems since it is emulating. Textures (RAW), lower quality textures, Pop-in, Force Closes/Crashes, Strange Colors, Slow Performance, or just not working. On top of that you have to illegally download the games since they won't show up in the market.
[Galaxy S II General] RMXO:
:confused:

You can enable the market by using NVIDIA plugin to get all Tegra games to show up & they are purchasable.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
i have an uber pc if i want to play games. On a cell phone...tetris is just fine or a standard genesis emulator, while on the crapper.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The G2X (the O2X U.S. variant) is the only phone I've owned that I can truly say I hated. The LCD screen bled, it randomly froze, it rebooted itself mid-call, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth profiles disappeared and reappeared randomly, and it used 3/4G data when connected to Wi-Fi. I could go on but you get the idea. Other than having HDMI out, 1080P video, and a dual-core processor it's a last-generation phone. I wouldn't own an LG phone again if it were free and came with free calling and data service.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Poor comparison. So many mistakes and errors in it, typical of someone who has not used both Tegra2 and Exynos equipped devices.

Tegra2 has a dedicated video and image decder being a plus? It can't even process 1080p video, which the Exynos can.

And then the SGSII battery life, no way will you be able to attain that sort of life. Someone at Samsung fudged the battery life numbers as the battery will last only under 8 hours of constant phone calls!
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Apart from the metal Google thing the Optimus has on it's back...is there even a comparison to be made?? :p
[Galaxy S II General] EnsconcE:
Yeah, there is. Check out these benchmarks:

http://tweakers.net/reviews/2147/5/shootout-dualcore-smartphones-tegenover-elkaar-benchmarks-i.html

It has nice statistics where LG sometimes even wins, but overall the SGS2 wins.
[Galaxy S II General] khein:
LG Optimus 2x can't even play 720p and 1080p on youtube

Browser test: Galaxy S II vs. Galaxy S Plus vs. Optimus 2X

Browsers 1080p (Youtube) video playback tests Galaxy SII (I9100,S2)＆Optimus 2X(P990)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYkEUOA6Spo

Though, something is really wrong on the LG2x as tegra2 should easily do atleast 720p smoothly. Probably, a GB update might help.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Quite a difference in the 1080p youtube tests and I agree with another poster the OP's comments have a lot of holes and misinformation.
[Galaxy S II General] nunomeneses:
Well i don't understand half of the errors showd up to 2X. I had one and it played 1080p youtube videos flawless... and if you look for it i'm not alone.
[Galaxy S II General] michaelko999:
SGS2 wins.:D:):D
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
The SGS II GPU is limited to 60fps. So in 3D benchmarks that are low demand in terms of processing power, he Tegra 2 will exceed 60 fps, giving it a higher score than the Exynos. Of course, if you use a more demanding 3D benchmark where both chips can't exceed 60 fps, then the Exynos usually comes out on top.
[Galaxy S II General] Mew178:
Yes but did you have it Stock updated or did you tweak it.

The LG o2x is an excellent device but the software is really killing it.

I really want to root my galaxy s and start trying out custom roms but odin doesnt recognise my phone when in download mode. When i reboot the phone a com port turns yellow straight away. Ive tried uninstalling the usb drivers and kies but its still not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Odin requires Kies or USB drivers and debugging to be off .

Com port yellow means Odin has found the phone .

Are you following the instructions that are basically load Odin load the firmware into Odin as Instructed .

Put phone to download mode then connect the Samsung USB cable .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Yes I have the drivers and kies and tried with debugging on and off and I am also correctly following the very simple instructions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Anyone got a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] embryo1:
Try another USB port
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cabessius:
Tell us exactly which steps you are following and we can tell you if there are any mistakes.

BTW Are you using the original usb cable?. I bought a cheap usb cable in ebay and it is good for charging or transferring files, but it never worked with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Ive tried 2 different computers. Im following the instructions for the cf root. i downloaded the file for JVO, extracted it and put the .tar file in the PDA section of ODIN. I then turned off my phone and put in into download mode then connected the phone to the pc with the cable that came with the phone. In odin nothing happnes. When i reboot the phone, a com port turns yellow. Ive tried connecting the phone first then getting the .tar file and still not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cabessius:
Before flashing the kernel you have to flash stock JVO rom with the pit, pda, modem and csc files.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
The cf root guide i used didnt say that i had to flash stock JVO rom
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eternalko:
The path you should follow:

1) Install Kies. Full

2) Check if Kies sees ur phone normally. If yes goto:3

3) Open odin

4) Kill ALL kies processes.

4) put your phone into download mode

5) Connect USB. Odin should react. If not, try other USB/cable

6) Profit

Have Really done that all?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FiRe || TeaR:
try install Kies last version

and odin 1.82 for Galaxy S (( GT-I9000 ))

and will be fix, ansallh
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Kies recognises my phone and i have followed the other steps but odin still doesnt recognise my phone in download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eternalko:
You mean that Odin recognises the phone in non download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Yes odin recognises my phone ONLY in normal mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Start does Kies see your phone

Does USB mass storage mode work on phone/PC

Is Debugging turned off .

Put phone in download mode Open Odin

Now connect USB cable does first block ID Com turn Yellow .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Yes kies sees my phone, mass storage works and usb debugging is off, i have also tried with debugging on but it still didnt work. Ive tried this so many times and its still not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Put phone in download mode Open Odin

Now connect USB cable does first block ID Com turn Yellow .

also have you tried other versions of Odin

What sort of files are you trying to flash and what part of Odin are you putting the files in .

How are you getting to download mode what steps .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eternalko:
Ohhh.. Don't know what to say. Really hard case
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Ive tried a couple of other versions of odin and they are all the same. Ive tried download mode first then odin but no luck. Im trying to flash the cf root JVO.tar file and im putting it in the PDA part just as the guide says. To get into download mode i am holding volume, home button and power button until the yellow writng comes up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:
you're definitely pressing volume

down

+ home + power to bring up download mode? what does it look like when you're in download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Im pressing volume up but im 100% sure its download mode. I know this because it gives me options such as reboot and install from sd card.

However, i just tried to install the samsung drivers again and it said they were already installed but i installed them again anyway. But ..... they didnt install successfully it said. It said there was no ethernet controller, but i can still access the internet. Could the ethernet controller be the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:
No that's recovery mode, completely different. Download mode is accessed by pressing volume down. Try that :).

Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully whilst flashing, these phones are hard to brick if you know what you're doing, but it is possible if you don't know what you're doing. If you don't know the difference between recovery and download I'd suggest you go and read a little more just to be sure, you don't want the phone to turn into an expensive paperweight!

Edit: this is probably a good place to start http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Thank you so much, it worked! I now have superuser and tweaks but in the about phone section of the setting nothing has changed. It says nothing about cf root. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:
No problem :). As long as you have root and everything you applied is working ok then it's all good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
If I wanted to unroot, how would I do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:
Just flash original stock firmware, I guess in your case you are on JVO so just flash JVO stock back, that'll remove root. It'll also wipe your phone so you'll lose all your apps and data too.

Best thing to do is have a look around and search the Galaxy S I9000 section of the forum, you'll find a lot of useful information and there's also some very helpful "how to" guides and stuff like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Thanks for all the help mate, really appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nmcc89:

Presents

Ultimate KangBang 2.1

A Community Rom​

***Welcome to ComRom 2.0! This is an extension of the previous thread here...which I think we can all agree become an unmanageable crapfest real quick :rolleyes:***

*The op consists of several posts, in my attempt to better manage the rom going forward.

***6.20.11: (probable) last release for froyo...version 2.1 is up...see posts below for changelog and download...its a patch to flash on top of 2.0...no need to wipe, just flash over...then on to gb!

-2.0 is by no means the "final" version of com rom...we already have several things in the works for 2.1+ (sbrissen is a "smali beast" as someone once said) :)

*So what is Com Rom/UKB then? Basically it was the next stage in adrynalyne's superclean roms which have been going since dl09 (and since dio1 through jt1134). Its a stripped down version of touchwiz (in this case ED01 froyo) with enhancements/mods/themes...basically more functionality.

Highlights:

*ED01

*3 versions (2 with voodoo kernels, 1 with no kernel)

*includes TSM Parts (multiple lockscreen options, status bar tweaks, spare parts)

*first froyo rom on sgs phone (i think) to have sgs2 lockscreen

*gingerbread themed (about as detouchwizzed as you can get)

*modded gb launcher2

*see changelogs for full list of functions/changes

Instructions

Installing Com Rom

1. download rom version of your choice

2. move to your sdcard

3. boot into cwr (3.0 preferred..should work with 2.5 but edify scripts can be nasty with it sometimes..testers say it worked though)

4. wipe data/cache/davlik cache (if you dont, expect issues...and also dont bother bug reporting..we wont help you!)

5. select install from sdcard

6. select rom .zip

7. reboot

8. wait 5+ minutes for phone to boot up (it takes awhile)

9. profit (or not if it bootloops)

Also, great article on why wiping anything in cwr (data/cache/davlik) more than once is pointless:

http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-05/time_to_wipe_data/cache

(I would go further to say dont flash **** from people who tell you to wipe data 3X Times...but im a jerk)

***ADB!!!!

for those that don't have the Android SDK installed (or know what it is) Adrynalyne made an awesome tutorial <--- check it out!

For Reporting Issues:

(If you Do Not follow these instruction exactly, we will ignore your pleas for help!)

1) post your exact setup (version of com rom, kernel, voltage settings, any other mods you did flash)

2) did you wipe data/cache/davlik cache before flashing the rom

3) what rom/setup did you flash com rom over

4) what is your *specific* problem...not "omgz ma ****z be borked yo"...that helps no one and frankly is annoying to see...

5) ive said this 500 times already, but hey whats once more? POST AN ADB LOGCAT OF YOUR YOUR BOOTLOOP/FORCE CLOSE PROBLEMS/ETC...it aint hard

cd your adb folder

then

adb logcat > logcat.txt

-this creates a text file in your adb folder in the sdk (tools or platform-tools, w/e) post it in a pastebin and link the pastebin here or post it from dropbox or something

for the less sdk literate folks (and really im tempted to say if you dont have adb, dont flash stuff...but umm...i wont)

you can use terminal emulator on your phone to logcat (obviously not when booting to diagnose bootloops, but can help with force closes)

logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt

-this creates a file on your sdcard...copy it to your computer and pastebin/dropbox it
