It's good to install a custom ROM and Kernel, I use [ROM] devoid. #froyo-final & franco kernel. Very fast, smooth :D.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ligu:
If you just get the phone new, I will recommend your stay with the original firmware. That way you dont have to worry about it during your trip, and you will have something to reference to when you try the custom ROM/kernel later.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] milestide25:
Okay, here's my personal opinion. Having bought my Optimus T (P509) brand new in November the week it came out, I had no option but to keep the original firmware for a while. It's not that bad. It's very stable, and it honestly isn't that slow. I was only getting about 460 on my quadrant, and I was disappointed, but quadrant has come to mean nothing. Despite my consistent 1000+ quadrant scores on other ROM's, I was disappointed with the appearance. Appearance has come to mean almost everything to me now. This all being said, I would advise keeping the stock for a while and messing with ADW Launcher (found in the market for free) and some of it's themes. Although it's totally worth the minimal risk of bricking, as has been previously stated, you'll fully appreciate custom ROM's more if you keep the original ROM for a time.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Go Launcher Ex will give you a great overhaul as well on stock ROM. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cupliz:
now day it is very easy to:

1. root Use GingerBreak, just click and click reboot, all done.

2. Install recovery, For 1st recovery u can use ungaze zip and terminal emulator with very short command for Amonra, or use Rom manager to install CwM.

3. Flashing Custom Rom, just go to recovery Wipe all and then Flash it.

its just take 1-2 hour to finish that... very different with me when i install Custom Recovery on Last Feb... you must use ADB.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
Well yes it is, but the main idea is that he won't understand the pros and cons of a custom rom if he doesn't get to really know his stock phone.

For example when I bought my phone I couldn't find a reason to mod it. I was coming from Symbian & WinMo and I was perfectly happy with the phone the way it was; only after I got bored with it and got tired with it being rather slow I decided to mod it and I could perfectly see and understand all the differences.

Why am I telling this? Because he's asking if he should risk moding it. The answer is no, you shouldn't risk this if you're happy with it the way it is now and if you can't tell all the differences and improvements.

Grow some balls and do it ours worth out trust new lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
And how about I have tried almost all of them? I'm even testing Ciaox's ThunderSense Rom. We're not talking about testing here, he isn't here to be a beta tester. He can just use stable roms like devoid.final and enjoy his phone.

And yes I do agree, he should use his phone for some time before rooting to really feel the benefits of customs, unless he already had an android phone before.

Hey guys.

My brother wants a new phone ny hes not sure which one.

He needs it to be on T-Mobile

He wants a keyboard

He wants a ffc, but not that important.

Do u have any idea when the mt4g slide is coming out?
[General Questions and Answers] BootloopedMillennials:
Last I heard July 6th but thats not dead set.

Its suppose to be a dual core Snapdragon, 8 MP camera, FFC, 4G, and running Gingerbread. I dont know the exact specs so look that up.

[General Questions and Answers] jessehclark:
man the g2 is nice, but the sidekick 4g is, of course, 4g, and it has a faster processor. sidekick = 3.5" and g2 = 3.7" though =(

depending on what he's going to do with it, make sure to investigate available accessories and/or roms.

while its beautiful, at times the inspire's screen actually feels a little big in my hand. but i chose it over the atrix because the bootloader isnt locked.

best of luck!!
[General Questions and Answers] mauve08:
you can go for mytouch3G slide
[General Questions and Answers] BootloopedMillennials:
G2 also has 4G, though the Sidekick has the 21.1 mbps HSPA+ chip while the G2 has the 14.4mbps HSPA+ (of course those are theoretical device speed limits).

As for the processor in the Sidekick being better I beg to differ. I think the second gen Snapdragon is slightly better than the Hummingbird processor. Though the Sidekicks PowerVR SGX540 gpu is more powerful than the G2's Adreno 205 gpu.

Samsung Infuse benchmark test

I have the free version of Qaudrant benchmark speed test and over the last few days I have tested my Samsung i997 several times. (at least 6-7 times)

I started testing it after I flashed the Infused custom rom v1.5

I got anywhere between 1750 and 1850 score on Quadrand never less or more than 1750 to 1850. I found that I get the highest score when I

shut down the phone and restart it a couple minutes later.

Also I have a backup stock 2.2 froyo rom which only has 2 modifications,

one is the clockwork recovery and the other is that the phone is rooted.

So just out of curiosity after making a backup of Infused 1.5 custom rom I restored the stock Froyo rom just to make a test using Quadrant benchmark app.

The quadrant score with the stock froyo 2.2 the speedtest was only

1150 to 1250 in the benchmark test.

-

Just to let everyone know I never overclocked my phone.

I am almost certain that as soon as we can get the Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom

flashed to the phone all of our scores will be a lot higher.

According to Titanium backup I have a total 234 apps/games and other stuff installed in my phone (not sure if this means anything or not).

I don't know about you guys who posts "I got xxxx on benchmark" without something to compare it to.

I would love to see some posts from people who for instance compares a stock froyo rom benchmark score to a custom rom benchmark score (like Infuse 1.5 or Bionix 2.1) or something like that.

There are many other things to take into consideration when performing benchmark tests but at least some comparison using the same phone with different roms would be helpful.

i was at ATT today looking for a clear screen protector and figured i'd check out some of the other android phones. i ran a couple quadrant tests on a completely stock htc inspire. first test pulled an 18xx run and the second was a 1755.. wth is that about?

i did verify that it was running froyo 2.2.1 and was not rooted. is this what i keep hearing about the difference between snapdragon and hummingbird processors? why do those phones appear to score so much higher?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Simple. Samsung's Hummingbird CPU isn't very good at number crunching / floating point operations, which are what most benchmarks use to test CPU speed. The stock RFS file system also slows things down a good amount, but Voodoo fixes that by converting to ext4.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the strength of the hummingbird if multimedia. h.264 decoding on this chip is better than other single core chips(maybe even better than the tegra2 in the atrix and g2x). though quadrant measures this, the way things are weighted in benchmarks is basically arbitrary. number crunching is not that important on a phone and the droidx/2 omap chip isint much better than ours in that area and is only half as good at opengl and not as good at media decoding. qualcomm has one major strength and it shows in benchmarks, dont think that means anything day to day.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
sounds kind of like the AMD vs INTEL battle..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah Intel has some great cpus now but if you aren't buying the top of the line for the sake of having the best you will get more for your dollar with amd. computers are complex, benchmarks are simple, they can't tell you everything. just use the phone and fedl happy that you can play 1080p movies and play 3d games.

Anyone ever try one of these cheap BT keyboards from ebay?

There's tons of them.
[G Tablet Accessories] SirhanSirhan:
It appears to be smaller than the phone in the picture. I cannot see what advantage it would provide.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dishe:
That thing in the background is actually the front of a laptop, I think. But here's another one, with a hand in the pic for size reference:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Mini-B...Trackballs&hash=item2c5d194867#ht_6608wt_1139

But as to what advantage it would provide:

1st of all, I type MUCH faster on a tactile keyboard (as most people do in reality).

2nd- tablet can be propped up on a stand and still enter test comfortably (I've found it difficult to type on a vertical screen, and placing it horizontally on my lap for a long message can negatively effect the viewing angle)

3rd- can be used remotely or when hands are dirty (think- kitchen / cooking / recipe tablet).

4th- console gaming. Nothing beats buttons for emulators.

I like that it is so portable, otherwise a full sized case + KB sort of approaches the size of a netbook which almost defeats the purpose of having this.

What I really wanted to know if these are just poor build quality or really uncomfortable to type on (I LOVED my touch pro 2 keypad, which this reminds me of, but not all kbs are created equal).

Additionally, there are other shapes and sizes, all around the same price on ebay. Seem to come from similar sellers, probably manufactured in one plant. Here's something more full sized:

How comfy is it being used as a desktop keyboard not as a thumb keyboard ?

[G Tablet Accessories] bobkoure:
Also note that Android does not support the Bluetooth HID profile (looks like the underlying stack supports it since 2.1 or 2.2 but there's nothing in the ROM).

There's a free apk that might work "bluetooth easyconnect".

I've been edging around a semi expensive ~20USD apk that definitely works with my iGo BT keyboard, but they lock to phone ID and, on the gtab, that changes when you change ROMs...

I bought the bt keyboard that aasoror linked to. I got it to pair but it never connected, I even downloaded bluetooth keyboard easy connect but it would not let me pick the keyboard in the drop down menu. What is supposed to be the pin to help me get this working with my g-tab?

I am using Vegan GE 7.0. Thanks for any help you or anyone else can provide.
[G Tablet Accessories] Dishe:
Oh, it never occurred to me that we would be missing the HID profile in bluetooth!

I just assumed if the iPad does it, certainly Android has it built in (thinking back to A2DP and other stuff Android supported first).

That really stinks- are BT keyboards not an option??
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
And how did you like it ? is it good for touch typing ?

Have you tried the trick here.

There is plenty of BT KB's running on the GTab, just look around.
[G Tablet Accessories] imdaman99:
I got it to work :)

I like it because its wireless and doesn't need a usb dongle or anything, but its hard to type on it for than a few minutes. Obviously it is a lot better than typing on the GTab but I wish it were smaller or bigger (small enough to thumb type, or big enough that it wasn't cramped and getting tiresome typing with both hands and all my fingers.)

I already had a Rii Mini Wireless keyboard from before so I thought, hell it couldn't hurt to give it a try on my GTab. And it works! Even the touchpad! I would rather use that because it is smaller (thus more portable) and it has backlighting on it. I could type in the dark! Of course there is a Bluetooth version for the Rii Mini as well (around $40), but I think I have spent enough money on keyboards for my GTab lol.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
You didn't say how ? :)

I am now thinking about a little bigger keyboard, seems suitable for touch typing.

Hello

I'm considering to upgrade my Motorola Milestone to something faster and more reliable. I sleept over the other day, because of my phone had an error. I really like the specs of the Optimus 2x. But reading some some of the threads, it seems like there are problems with this phone. Did they ever find out if it was a hardware bug, or not. I'm refering to the restart/screen off bug.

And i'm going to use it for mp3 playback and web browsing. Do you think it will be a lot faster than my old Milestone, when browsing on a 2 mbit 3g connection. Also how is the soundquality from the mini jack output.

Thanks
