[LG Optimus 2x] rj3005:
Samsung Galaxy S II - 5

HTC Sensation - Don´t know

Motorola Atrix - Don´t Know

LG Optimus 2x - 4

I gave the O2X to my wife and got myself an SGS-II. The LG is not a bad phone but the SGS-II is just a different league (Thinner, Lighter, Smoother, better screen, better Cam, Better battery life)
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I also think 2X with CM7 is really really good and SGS2 cannot beat it. Yet. :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Is CM7 worth it? I'm hearing it still has quite a few bugs.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
If you don't use A2DP or FM radio then go for it. And if you don't know what they are you don't use them.
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
if you want cutting edge performance, I'd opt for the GSII as well, but with CM7, I think the O2X has more bang-per-buck than the GSII.

If the GSII had been out by the time I needed a new phone, I would have gotten that, but I love my o2x especially because we have such a skilled CM7-dev on it which really makes the thing fly. Aside from the usual "newest beta build bug" now and then, CM7 is almost perfect.

So if you have no problem spending the extra cash on the GSII, I'd recommend you to get one. If you want to save some money, get the o2x and slap CM7 on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
I am a little surprised by all the resentments and remorse expressed here.

I bought my brand new P990h (2x with 850/1900/2100 3G) a couple of weeks ago from a member on xda, and I haven't seen any BSOD, crash or battery charging issues.

Granted the stock ROM is a bit too unpolished than we would like, there are plenty of good custom ROMs (e.g. Modaco, CM) to make many owners happy. The stock ROMs (both v10b and v10c) are a little sluggish mostly due to the inefficient LG launcher app, and just changing out the launcher app fixes much of maligned performance issues.

I am currently on the nightly CM builds (#127), and it's very responsive. I don't really give a whole lot of credence to benchmark numbers, but the last time I ran Quadrant, it came very close to 3000 on an unmodified CM build.

The grass seems always greener on the other side. I had my share of Android devices (Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc.) and plenty more of the other OSes (WP7, WebOS, iOS). I distinctively remember how poorly TouchWiz was received in the early days (and even to the point of Galaxy S and its variants) and how sluggish the TW overlay felt. LG is probably one generation behind Samsung in terms of polishing its UI, and I am sure it will get there shortly. LG's advantage to its credit is that its overlay/modifications are very shallow, preserving most of the ASOP experience, unlike TouchWiz, which has many deep changes that can seem foreign if you haven't played with a Samsung device before.

I also remember many people disowning Samsung for delivering Froyo to the Galaxy S (original) variants very late in the game (much after GB was already out with Nexus S). It's funny to see how short everyone's memory is and how the public sentiment changes so quickly.

There is no perfect OEM or device. HTC is probably the most polished in terms of delivering a usable overlay and timely updates, but I've seen plenty of people who have beef with HTC as well. I am sticking with the Ox2 for now as it has met or exceeded expectations (with the custom ROMs) for the price I paid.
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
I agree with enigma. The software side of things may not be the best but the hardware can match any other phone in the high end range. Maybe, the ram could have been boosted but it's still plenty.
[LG Optimus 2x] hd2000:
Enigma I love your words!
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Cm7 with X2 is the best thing I have tried so far. If nvidia could release sources A2DP and FM would be there to and everything would be pretty much perfect.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
Thanks for all the encouragements! Much appreciated.

Let me add a few more things to my post.

Many people (including the so-called "review" sites) rave about the Super AMOLED and its next generation Super AMOLED Plus. I fully realize some will disagree with me on this, but it has its disadvantages that you can't ignore.

The SAMOLED display, while having deeper blacks and wider viewing angles, has the pentile pixel configuration. It shows "grainess" when looked at closely. While most may not care, it makes a difference in detailed pictures and fine (i.e. small) texts.

The more serious problem is color fidelity. The SAMOLED display will have popping colors, which looks good on icons, but it doesn't look natural and deviates from the original color space.

I had two devices (Captivate, Focus) with the SAMOLED display, and it bugged me every time I looked at it.

SAMOLED Plus alleviates the grainess issue by moving to a more traditional pixel configuration from the original pentile, it still distorts color fidelity.

The IPA-LCD panel, of course, has its own issues (e.g. light bleed, black level, etc.), but produces much more natural colors and arguably consumes less battery especially on bright/light scenes.

For my money, I prefer the more natural looking IPA-LCD.

Now... would I switch over to GS2 at some point? Maybe. That's because I am a tech junkie who has an addiction to new devices. That's not because I like one better than the other, but I just need to have something new.

By the way (and probably off-topic), many are waiting for the Nexus Prime for the SAMOLED HD. The rumor is that the SAMOLED HD will also be based on the pentile pixel configuration because of the pixel density needed to achieve the 720p resolution. While I like the idea of having an HD resolution display on a relatively small form factor, I am not sure if I would welcome the disadvantages that come with such a panel.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Agree 100% :) Finally somebody pointing it out.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Ps. It's IPS-LCD, not IPA.

IPA = Rubbing alcohol ;)

IPS = In Plane Switching
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
So, it's better viewing than a AMOLED display? Isn't this display similar to apple?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's the same technology that Apple use, yes.

As to which is better, it's all personal preference.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
Yes, thanks for the correction. In my defense, it was a typo; notice "a" and "s" are close to each other.

Perhaps, unconsciously I was thinking about Indian Pale Ale. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Can't blame you for that :D
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Its based on ARM cortex9..it has more transistors on the chipset than the others out there now..i would say my o2x worked very well with the v10d.firmware but the v10e firmware sucks.big time..

Using the stock Rom..
[LG Optimus 2x] karan_singh_9008:
Display is better than amoled...lcd uses 8x8 matrix to store data of one pixel..

Same is with s-lcd n amoled...

Lcd ips and super amoled use 12x12 matrix..

More detailed display stuff :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
...and sgs2 almost a cost an iphone. its just too expensive. samsung too much money hungry like apple. sgs2 not that good compared to the price.

by the way its a superior phone indeed but value/price rate is terrible.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
I am not sure since when the iPhone became the benchmark for value. It's the least capable of the three, and I would say it's "not that good" for the price, to borrow your own words.

If the iPhone and the SGS2 were the only choices and they cost the same, I will pick the SGS2 any day of the week.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urushiol:
Im trying to find out what the stock voltage is for the nexus s 4G, for all mhz from 100 to 1000. I have looked and cant seem to find this.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
pretty certain that info is in this thread...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urushiol:
Indeed it is, thank you! For anyone else looking so they don't have to search the thread...

1000mhz - 1.25v

HTC SENSE FOR EPIC

Hi everyone, I am aware that there is another Sense thread, but after popular request in that thread to have an updated OP and a less fragmented thread, we decided that I should make my own thread.

Working/Not Working

IDK, but when I do, I will update this

The ROM in this thread may not boot, so if you need a stable ROM, for now, this is not your best bet.

Special Thanks to asdfghjkl, ahmgsk, and Bubby323

The included kernel will probably always be the CM7 Kernel so thanks to them

http://db.tt/8Ji3nVj

Help: If anyone can help make the ROM better, that's always appreciated.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
first!

OOOOOOOOO

Sweet dude always good to have options
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Go ahead and test the first link. If that doesn't work, go down the line.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Reserved for my thought on page 1 =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Original Android <3ers!:
Reserved for when I test. EXT4 or RFS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I think either one, idk maybe test both.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gokuman56:
None of the ROMS flashed

The first installation said unpacking system files, but it never got past that,the second installation said installing update and never got past that. The third one said installation aboorted error 6.

I am using the purple latest cwm and the ec05 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Original Android <3ers!:
Maybe you gave up too early on the second one? Sometimes it takes around 5 or 10 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gokuman56:
I waited over 30 mins, but no luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] Original Android <3ers!:
Lol never mind.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Isn't this amend scripting or has that been changed
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Been changed, used the one from the Nexus Sense thread minus their kernel and plus ours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Alright cool and good luck lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
3rd one is a script error, first two, maybe leave for an hour, cuz this file is pretty huge.

Sorry, guys I really don't know what to do here. If you could look at the script and other file and maybe try to fix, that'd be great. In the mean time, you guys could test the last build I made in the Miui thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
Their script wont help at all lol thats probably why it wont flash...throw in the cm7 updater-script with no changes except our cm7 kernel and it should flash.

Edit: Your already using the CM7 kernel so just throw in our Cm7 updater script...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thanks man, uploading all three with the CM7 Epic Script.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
Hopefully this works for you..if not il take a look at it before work if i can...and definitely after work lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
It deff be bad if that rodent work cause it'll be a really pain
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I updated the 1st and 2nd link already, 3rd is uploading. Try those 2 for now
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
3rd will be up in abt 20 minutes. Try then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Nice job xboxfanj. I hope you guys get it working, nice to have options

[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Did you ever flash a custom rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
You also have to take the RIL from cm7, pm me and ill give you my gtalk. Also pm Mike_77
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Not yet, I am on a deodexed/themed stock rom though. I'm waiting for official GB before I go the custom rom route. Although, I did try to beta test our(ERA's) ReVolted rom back when it was beta2, but that never worked, so I haven't tred it out yet.

[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
Is it possible to have both sense and tw on a rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Dude the CPU will kill its self lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Ok,.can you help on miui too? thanks. Bamboozle is awesome
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
That sucks

I can't have sammy music on sense

Will it be possible with a stronger processor like maybe the exynos
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I think as long as you have the apk you can use tw music. Do any of these new ones boot
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
Idk about booting but ido know that tw music relies on tw framework
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
How about miui music?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Ok, I guess tw music doesn't work, but I know for a fact miui does
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Has anyone tried the builds since I updated?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slow5Ohh:
Trying the first one now, sitting at the Samsung loading screen. Just for a minute so far

Edit: 1st link was stuck on the loading screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
2nd link stuck at samsung screen

3rd link has same result
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Miui released 1.9.2 so will we have it fully functional tonight??? Kidding guys! Its impressive how many test builds you guys are getting up right now. I actually don't have anything to test right now so I can try some builds out as well if you need me to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phantomg93:
copied the .zip to the sd card and when i went into cwm 3+ it didnt show up at all...tried multiple times but it doesn't shoe..any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
I would like to see if my ERA team can help out. This looks awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] corythug:
That would a treat, more heads the better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thanks man, I'll take all the help I can get. If you guys can help w/ Miui also, that'd be great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
No, that's bizarre, never seen that before. Maybe you deleted the file extension or changed it or something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Well, It does the same thing for me too...:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
How's this

http://db.tt/YgyqtvB
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
is this a new build or a fix for those with issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
New build. Nexus Sense, but with GalaxySense libs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
I still need an Epic, but i might throw together a build later on..
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Post a thread in general section saying you'll trade a touchpad for an epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Actually, I'll do it. Post the thread that is. Look in epic general or right here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17331931
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
Stuck on samsung splash screen. No boot. Odd thing was the samsung screen went to black after a minute but then went right back to it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Xboxfanj, it'd be cool if you cooked ChainsfireDD's Live logcat boot so we can all get a concrete knowledge of wether the sense rom is booting, and if it is stuck, what it gets stuck on. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Where are the files from that installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
You know what guys, I'm gonna port from Droid Incredible 2's port of HTC Sense 3.5

Will it boot?

You need an SD card? If you'll keep on this, I'll figure out a way to get you one. ;)

What size and type would you prefer? PM me
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thanks, but you don't need to get me one. I'll buy it, haven't picked yet. Do you think I need class 4 or 6? 2 seems really slow.

Here's Sense 3.5 (idk if it'll boot, but i do know itll take awhile to dl)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38805599/Sense 3.5 Epic.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
I would go for the class 6.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
It's live now. I said in an hour and you posted less than an hour that it had a 404.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Gimme a sec and I'll hunt down where it installs, lol.

Ok, I've found out where it installs

System/bin

Data/Local/Bootanimation.bin

:-( I've managed to get the system/bin files but I'm unable to locate the Bootanimation.bin, all I can find in other areas is the samsungbootani, but we're not looking for that, I'll keep searching, this could really help out these builds if incorporated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Good luck. Try the Sense 3.5 too. I can PM Chainfire

@Bubby323

PM asdfghjkl, he wants to trade epic for touchpad and has some questions about the condition and capacity
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Do you know of a good site to get one (affordable, I'm only 15 so can't spend too much)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Craigslist or fry's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Anyone test the Sense 3.5 build yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Yes....it bootloops :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Try downloading again. Changed some files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Still bootloops....ugh I wish I remember what I did to have the nexussense rom atleast go to the bootscreen :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Changed again. New build, same link.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Is this the build you would like me to test?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Probably. That's the new ROM with the new version of Sense.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Xboxfanj, why don't you grab some source from the link I had provided on the other thread? It boots. You should begin with sense booting, then make changes, and revert your changes when it breaks booting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Stuck on Samsung logo :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Okay guys, making a new build based off of the Nexus Sense build. Will upload soon. First need to find what files are needed for cdma though.

EDIT: Build will be uploaded soon. I'll post when
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
http://db.tt/GVKCVtN

New build. Try this please and if you have time, try my latest miui build too
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
I'm downloading the new build now. I'll let you know what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
Spoiler alert: It bootloops
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I Updated the egl. Please try again. Same link. New Build
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll try the other link then.

Xboxfanj , which link? Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
This bootloops as well. I flashed with ext4: stuck at Sammy screen. Then I flashed with rfs: went to black screen then jumped back to sammy screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
I'd love to tell you this one boots my man but it's just doing the same things. Samsung screen for ~1 minute, screen goes off, samsung screen returns indefinitely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
Perhaps we need a custom kernel to get it booting up? Idk but I am definitely all for seeing this work. I'll continue to test as much as I can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Sorry guys I'm trying. I don't know how to build a kernel, so I can't help there. Marcusant and I are going to talk so hopefully he can help us. If not, maybe I can ask someone to build a froyo kernel for sense kernel. Cm7 kernel works with sense on galaxy s though
[Epic 4G Android Development] ROFLsplash:
Your work does not go unnoticed broski! You're better at it than I am, i'll assume my position as the Guinea Pig and let the lab coats take care of the rest. I saw someone saying about a boot logcat. Can we get that on this somehow? And if not I know that the old thread had a version that was booting at least, is it easier to use that and build from there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Xboxfanj, I'll only be saying this one last time, why don't you grab the ported sense released on the other thread, that BOOTS on our epics, and *THEN* start tinkering it as you so please. Its better to get what works, and build on that, so you can progress.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
He's right...on the working build all you have to do is fix (yes there is A LOT to fix) but if you try to port your stuck with the challenge of getting it to boot which takes up valuable time you could put into fixes. Im not trying to tell you what to do... I actually REALLY appreciate all the work you have put into this and MIUI!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
Either way, I'll test for you dude. My way of contributing. Thanks for your diligence in getting another option working for our Epics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Ok, I misunderstood your last post. I thought you meant get the port from the Nexus as opposed to the Droid Incredible. I'll try your suggestion.

Will rom manager flash the older cwm? I'm going to attempt while I'm out today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I will be able to change the script eventually if its an issue. Rom manager should be able to. If not, there are probably flashable zips somewhere.

You could also ODIN to 2.1 with 2.x.x.x green recovery first

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I pmed rodderik, who makes kernels, asking him to make a sense one. He said he would if I can tell him what's so special about it. So I'm asking you guys to help me make a list of what sense does that our other roms don't do. I'll send that to him and then hopefully hell make us a kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2011/...-0-htc-sensation-better-than-vanilla-android/

If that doesn't convince him, then make a poll showing how many people want Sense on the epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
OK, but that's 3.0, which may not work w/ froyo, so it may not be possible w/ his kernel.

Oh you meant for 2.0?

Oh. Then nah, I don't see a point on working on porting Sense if it's outdated honestly.

Guys, completely misinterpreted his post. Here is his response

]i dont need reasons :P i said i would do it but i need to know what is different from my kernel...i am not familiar with sense stuff so if you find some info on what i need to do then i will look more into it and see what i can come up with

That is the end of his pm. If you guys could tell me what's different in the kernel, I'll pass it along
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
@acer

Got to start somewhere. I'll try to get that working and go from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
True. I just wasn't sure if making Sense 2.0 would cause any progress in getting 3.0 to work is all.
