It COULD get better than that....if ECLIPSE ROM was brought to it ;)

Lol

But thats something I'm hoping the next nexus device will include. A ram upgrade. It's already smooth with 1GB, imagine with two (or even 4! Hahahaha if that happened it would pack more of a punch than my old laptop, in just about every single tech spec)

I'm just curious tho, does the OC to 2.1 really make that much difference? I would expect just the higher ram with running an aosp based ROM without all that bloat would help performance more than a standard oc does nowadays ever since ICS and JB has come around.

I'm just curious on the type of battery hit you see with that high OC vs performance increase. Doesn't it get really hot running that speed??

That device is a helluva device. Especially with AOSP roms on it. I don't know of i could use it Vertu long with the touchwiz interface. The one lady at my job has one, and the times I've shown hera few things on it, the touchwiz starts to aggravate me lol. She wants me to root it and install a ROM or something, but I'm hesitant. I'm waiting until CM10 is out of beta and fully stable. She has AT&T version. We'll see lol,
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Not too bad on the battery I undervolted each step a bit and with the right governor and scheduler its fine...AOKP not sure if in the att one yet but the kt747 kernel is and its the best in my opinion...doesn't get hot at all really my min is 384 all the way up. I can go over 12 hours at work off the charger with medium use and in a signal area where I'm constantly searching for service no WiFi so for me that's pretty good
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Oh and regarding the camera Gnex vs. x2

Here are some pics i took from each of them.

I'm not uploading them cuz i don't want them to get resized and changed at all thru tapatalk uploading

So i dropboxed them.

X2:

http://db.tt/IJyVNGY0

http://db.tt/ZDvzyQSs

Gnex:

http://db.tt/aNdBIcAU

http://db.tt/gGZwxst6

The first x2 link is a pic i took using ICS camera+ app from play store. Just for closer reference i guess lol.

The other x2 pic is taken with whatever camera eclipse comes with on x2.

Gnexpics, one of them was with daylight white adjustments, other was auto white adjustment.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
To be honest as far as the camera goes.... Don't get me wrong the gnex camera starts, loads & snaps a lot quicker than the X2 camera, sure. Plus there's the whole touch while recording to snap a picture thing as well. The nexus just doesn't have the quality, IMO. I have a bunch of amazing nature / landscape shots on a 16GB SD card somewhere taken from my X2. Gnex camera doesn't even come close to the quality of those pics if you ask me. I've compared pics from the nexus and the X2 side by side blown up on a nice big 1080p 52” screen. The pictures from the X2 just looked cleaner and crisper to me is all. I'm in no way bashing the gnex camera, but the image quality is one thing I miss from the x2 camera for sure
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yea, the quality is good enough of course. But, if they would have put the 8mp camera in it, it would have blown away the x2 quality.

The gnex takes better action picks for sure tho.

But when it comes to taking pics of stuff at "mid-far distance" things aren't as good as the x2. For closer shots and action shots, night shots, i find the gnex is better.

I cant wait till the next nexus, it should be up to par/better than most cameras. I feel like even if they only put an 8mp into the new nexus, the software will keep it relevant compared to any newer "bigger" cameras. I feel like they will have at least listened to customers wants/need for better camera hardware to be included aside everything else is solid about it. I'm excited to see what the next nexus in line will have going for it :)
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Anyone care to compare the Dinc2 Camera and the Gnex camera? And while we are at it, compare the Dinc2 camera and a DX2 cam too? All I wanna hear is that the Dinc2 blows away all the others.. Unless you can get conclusive evidence of this, don't get back to me... I don't wanna hear contrary opinions! :D

Anyway, seriously, I'd like some comparisons with the Dinc2 is all I'm saying...
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Really Ash? I hate my gnex for up close/macro shots. Takes FOREVER TO FOCUS.

Haven't really tried any action shots with it yet. Hopefully CodeNameAndroid finally implements HDR camera into his ROM soon. That would be the tits

[Motorola Droid X2] Giphtid2705:
Thanks for the photos ash and thank you everyone else for the help. I dont take a ton of pictures but when I do, its usually for something important. A coworker offered to sell me a Nexus with an extended battery so he could buy the new iPhone. His loss. I talked him down to $150 and I figured it might be too good to pass up. I know its a better phone all around but I haven't heard much about the camera quality comparisons.

[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't mean macro shots.

I meant close up in comparison to a far off shot of let's say a landscape shot of a mountain. Gnex can get you a good shot sure, but the x2 will be slightly more detailed for that.

the gnex is perfectly fine for examine shots of your kids playing a baseball game, in action mode it gonna get that picture no problem. You could even video tape and snap a shot off at the same time. I meant closer pictures in the sense of reading pictures of friends while hanging out, you won't see much Difference between the shots. Kinda like the pics i posted, you really don't see much difference between the shots until you stay looking at what's further off in the background :)

Here's something I've always wondered:

Say somehow there was some spyware put on your phone. How or would you even know it? You know.. the kind that tells where you are, every key punch, phone stats, call transponding... all the PI stuff. Would that be something that would be noticeable in Root Explorer? Would frequent flashing of ROMs or phone wipes clear it off? Ideas anyone??

HTC Trade Up program

So I was reading about this trade up program that HTC has and decided for the heck of it to see how much worth my DX2 was. I almost fell out of my chair with laughter! :laugh::laugh: I thought you guys would get a kick out of it as well.

Verizon gave me 50 for mine
[Motorola Droid X2] Giphtid2705:
Are any of you guys running paranoid on your gnex? If not, what do you prefer? Battery life is important but I'm also getting an extended battery. I know James bond ROM is all about battery but I just need the phone to get to the end of the day with moderate use. (My X2 runs cm7 and I have about 40% left when I plug it in). I'm not used to having so many ROM's to choose from :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I was going through some stuff yesterday. Came across all these. I've had some pretty small phones in the past. My DX2 dwarfs all of them. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I used to run PA on my phone. However, in my humble opinion, the screen is too small for tablet mode. I tried phablet mode as well, but wasn't really diggin' it. Don't get me wrong, it's a REALLY cool ROM, just isn't for me. I currently and probably always will run CodeNameAndroid. Remember that not only ROMs account for how long your battery lasts. Kernels play a huge role as well. I am currently running the latest Franco nightly kernel. Also remember that your phone needs time to settle after flashing a new ROM or kernel. I usually wait through 3 power cycles (100% to 0%) before I start getting an idea of what kind of battery I'm getting. Over or under clocking/volting also plays a big roll as well, as does your governer and IO scheduler. Every phone is different. I've been through multiple GNEXs from VZW and a kernel I had on one phone with great results might not do so well on another. It's pretty much on you to try different ROMs and kernels. Best we can really do is give you a reference. There's no answer that will be 100% as to the best battery life, etc. It all depends on how you use your phone. Only you will be able to tell what the best settings are for performance and battery. It's pretty overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it. I highly recommend the Trickster MOD app for changing your kernel settings. :thumbup:. If you decide to roll with Franco kernel, check out his app in the play store. He's got a paid version and a free one as well. Hope this helps you. :)

...The last one on the right is actually a cell phone, lmao? Looks like one of those digi-pet things from back in the day. XD
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I hop between Codename, Eclipse and PA. I really can't say which is flat out better than the others but I can say that PA has the worst of the 3. I'm currently on Codename and I really like the battery life. Using something like Set CPU to control your cpu settings helps a lot. A lot.

Whats the mAh on the battery you're getting? I have the stock 1850 and a 2100.

I never have to charge during the day.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
You've never heard of the Palm Pre? Not surprised. lol. Its a webOS phone. I loved that phone. And the OS. Too bad it never really took off.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I've ran PA and really like it. But its not as buttery smooth as Eclipse to me. Eclipse is so nice its almost sexual (can I say that on here)! I just really wish it had a tablet mode.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I tried PA on the S3 and I just couldn't get used to it at all...takes a lot of tweaking to get set up right with DPI and all that not a bad thing but I just couldn't get it to where I had a good balance for me
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I've heard of it, just never actually saw one. :p

There's a WebOS port for the gnex. It's extremely alpha if I remember correctly. No calls/texts/data but it boots. I would check it out, but I don't really feel like messing with anything. Just got my phone how I want it.

And to an earlier reply. I would check out Trickster MOD for kernel settings. Who uses SetCPU anymore?:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Really? I know webOS is in the process of (or maybe it is already) going open source. There has always been talk about getting it ported to other devices. Honestly, if it had all the apps Android does, I'd use it. I'll check out the work being done on the nexus.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Or wait it might be something else that I am thinking of. I know there was talk of porting it to the nexus, not sure if it has been or not yet. I think it was boot2gecko I'm thinking of actually. Sorry about that.

I did just search webos and it does seem pretty cool. Hopefully they can get a port going sooner or later.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well I know there will be attempts on getting it on another device eventually. And yes, webOS is nice. Like I said, too bad it never really took off. It had a lot of potential.

That used to happen to me with Tapatalk sometimes, only in threads where people used big colorful fonts and weird pictures for big posts.

But there was an update at one point that fixed that issue.

Now my tapatalk app just keeps telling me i have the wrong password and need to log in AGAIN and AGAIN and.AGAIN.

They fixed it before, but the latest update broke it again, rootz stays logged in fine, but eclipse forum and xda make me log in every time i come back to app. Which is pain cuz after five times of leaving and coming back i have to wait fifteen minutes....

i thankfully didn't update the.tapatalk on my Gnex so this one works just fine.

Bad part is, i use my nexus 7 MORE and that's the one I updated first, thinking that they wouldn't bring THAT issue back since they already fixed it once.

And i cant even pull the apk from my gnex and install to my nexus7 since it's stored in asec now....grrrr

I have something I'm going to try later, but i don't think it will work.

And you should let them try, let them go thru their entire stupid speil, lying to you about how it's the thinnest and EVERYTHING. Make sure you ask a bunch of inane questions just to see what kind of DURPjuice response you get.

Then after ALL THAT, walk over and point to GNEX(or any Android you want) and say, "Nah this is what i want, cuz it has..." And name off as many features as possible. Then smile and say didn't you see my shirt asshole?! Lmao

[Motorola Droid X2] Giphtid2705:
Wow, Thanks for all the Info. I didn't realize there were so many options/combinations. I didn't even think about all the possible kernels to flash. :eek: I'm just used to the locked down X2. As far as ROM/Kernel combos go, I'm not necessarily looking for the best battery life; just looking for something that wont be dead by the end of the day. It sounds like most of them can handle that.

I looked into Codename and Franco and I'll probably just go that route initially until I get comfortable flashing a bunch of stuff. Maybe AOKP and Eclipse later. A ton of people seem to be very happy with Codename and Franco. I can flash a Kernel just like flashing a ROM right? or can I install Franco's Kernel through his app?

Thanks for the help btw. If I run into any serious issues, would you mind if I pm'd you? I don't wanna clog up this totally on-topic forum with my questions. I get the phone on Friday and I'm trying to do my research before I get it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Yes you can flash a kernel just like a ROM in CWM or TWRP(different recovery. I like it). You shouldn't have to wipe anything in between kernels usually. Sometimes the OP will tell you to. I personally wipe cache/dalvik after every kernel. I like things to be as clean as possible. Yes, you can also download & install Francos nightly or stable kernel through his app as well as the latest LeanKernel experimental & stable. You can pm me if you want if you need any help. I'm not a dev or anything, just read a lot of stickies/ guides. Definitely learn ADB and Fastboot instead of using toolkits. They work, but it's good to have knowledge of how to do everything 1 step at a time to make sure you know how to fix a problem if one occurs.

So yeah lol. Just read up on the stickies. It's pretty easy. Most of the stuff I learned on the X2 helped make things on the nexus a little easier. Not like the Dinc2 though. Damn. My friend wants me to root his for him and I am at a complete loss. Those threads are confusing as hell. Sort of scared to do it for him, lmao. Nexus is easy though

Main thing i liked was it's form factor, crazy how it took this long for something like that.

I'm guessing non removable battery tho with the war they described how put together to achieve that shape. You could pack a pretty big battery onto that tho and out would still feel thin due to design.
