[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:
Hey I am also from India and at 20k bucks this phone is worth it , my real sister has a sgs2 and I dont really see the reason to pay 10k more for a better screen,512mb more ram and 8gb more internal memory. Also the build quality of O2x is better than that of sgs2. I say go for it !

Is this phone worth buying?

Yes

Yes

Yesw
[LG Optimus 2x] DeepEmbrace:
I converted rupees to pounds and your right about it in terms of money. I got mine for £200 delivered, but conversions show 20k rupee is about £260. So if its another 10k more (50% more), then it would be about £330. This is abit much for the S2 when compared to the 2X that basically performs the same.

In the UK, the pricing is crazy, but if we had the choice to pay another 50% for the S2, most of us would. Its seen as the top end phone that is also a fashion phone. Build quality on both are good, but the S2 is thinner and lighter.

Screen is subjective to the user since the 2X has an IPS screen which is fantastic compared to normal LCD and all those other screen types. But Amo-LED is very different. To me personally, the colours are more vibrant and contrast is much bigger at lower brightness.

Anyway, it depends on if your willing to spend abit more and if its quick to make that money. Same technology rules apply. There will always be better, and the extras in the S2 would be like future-proofing for next gen crazy software :)
[LG Optimus 2x] the1c3man:
For best value to performance ratio you can't beat this phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
2x is my first android device and from my short experience with it i beleive that it is best value for money!
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:
See theres really no need to pay 10k extra for some eye candy and ram, I'd rather save those 10k and a year later sell off my o2x and buy a quad core phone ;) , sgs2 is old now since sgs3 closer, but if o2x would still be selling for 26k like the release price it would have been a better choice to put in 2k more and buy a sgs2

[LG Optimus 2x] iulian89:
For the price -lg optimus 2x is the best you can get with its price.

For the quality- lg 2x cost less than some 1 core phones so you should ask yourself why.

Even with kang's, cyanogenmod roms there are some problems that are not just ''eye candy''.

Lg official support sucks- don't ever expect anything from them, they make promises just like in politics.

I can tell you what problems i got with the cyanogenmod roms and kangs:

-camera quality is really really low for a 8mpx camera- sgs2 has way better video/photo quality- videos cannot be called hd videos- that's an insult for hd definition-no autofocus in videos;

-hdmi has some problems in cyanogenmod but is good on stock rom- sometimes i get a few seconds of black screen idk why, it still happens with tamasek's kang 55

-often when i go to sleep and put the phone into charge with an alarm on, in the morning the alarm doesn't start and the phone's screen is just black-can be solved only by removing the battery;

-having 150mb ram free is not only an eye candy problem;

A better screen (amoled is another life-if you have the opportunity try looking at the same photo on the 2 phones and you will see a HUGE difference), a better camera, more ram, more internal memory, ICS- i think those things worth the price difference.

Still, for its price is the best choice , for its quality it is not. I have an o2x but only because i was too stupid to wait 1 more month and get the sgs2 :((, think how i feel now when i get less than half of what i paid it if i want to sell it!
[LG Optimus 2x] @dap:
Is the O2X a good phone? Just look at how many good devs we've got working with it -that should tell you something! ;)

I've had mine since late last spring and nothing that's come out since has given me a reason to change...

Have flashed a lot of ROMs and am presently running Temasek's CM7 Kang No 53 and the most recent version of Vadonka's ETaNa kernel -fantastic stuff.

Buy one. You won't be sorry.
[LG Optimus 2x] Monkeywoman:
this phone is worth buying if your cool headed..the key with this phone are to find the right files and follow the steps
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
You answered your own question. As for the problems you mentioned, I have none of that. In fact, I haven't experienced ANY issues so far, and I'm still on stock.
[LG Optimus Black] devilgod18:
Hi My name is DevilGod and am from India and One of my frnd want to buy a new phone. his budget is 20000Rs(400$) so we are thinking to buy this ...so can anyone tell is it worth buying..nd ur experiences or ideaz about any other fone?? how is the availabilty of custom roms and whats are its Pros and cons??? Please Share...
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
It's a nice phone, slim and slick ;)

but one thing (AFAIK) if you use the official ROM, there won't be any recovery access like key combination

you have to flash additional recovery from huexxx (one of our member here :D)

and about the update, i hope you're the patience one :D

custom ROMS ?

lemme count

1. Pay's

2. Nova

3. CM7

4. Modded CM7

5. Official GB repacked

6. Zeus

7. Marvel

[LG Optimus Black] Altermind:
it's a good phone for the price...... (as long as u get it dirt cheap) otherwise.. get htc... don't touch this phone with a long pole... or if you have the money.. just buy apple... it's still far more *refined* then android any day
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
or just get the galaxy s plus its in the same price catagory but its much faster cuz it has got an 1,4Ghz processor and the amazing amoled screen
[LG Optimus Black] Nihiliu:
SGS plus has overclocked CPU, you can overclock black to 1. 2 or more so no big diffrence. SGS has imho worst gpu. About screen... i think amoled make everythink looks artifictial.
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Screen is good (don't start me on amoled screens just take amoled screen out in the sun on a bright sunny day and try to read a message :), even not being gorilla glass after a year without screen protector there hardly any visible scratches and i have it with my keys most of the time.

Hardware is not bad but not that good either.

But it is so light and thin that it is worth it.

Main issue is the LG support and the update speed, and so far the small number of developers, which compensate with some good work when there is a new release.
[LG Optimus Black] jimakos29:
lol it HAS gorilla glass. who told otherwise? check official gorilla site: www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/lg
[LG Optimus Black] DaemonOnx:
hey

I recommand OP Black.It's very slim , easy and stylish.

LGUpdates came very slow :mad: hope that we'll get 4.0 in Octomber 2012 not January 2013(like 2.3.4)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
now, if i were u, i would have gone for the original S.Galaxy S(i9000). it's available in India in the same price range.

it has identical specs but MUCH MUCH MUCH powerful GPU & loads of custom ROMs.

do not go for the overclocked (1.4Ghz one) Galaxy plus as there is report of overheating.

or, if its about a hard awesome sturdy cell, simply get the DEFY (it's 15.3K as in west bengal). DEFY has so many ROMs that you'll get puzzled counting. lol
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
Samsung's plastic case looks very cheap and defy is ugly as ****. I recommend to see with your own eyes before buying.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
well...then i feel SE NEO V should be a good trade, eh??...already sporting ICS, nice sexy look and i have heard remotely that it can be (am nt sure) overclocked to 1.9 Ghz???!!!...a balanced cell that... :)
[LG Optimus Black] digitalfrost:
I wouldn't buy it again.

Most of the ROM sucks.

- Nova ROM was on a good way, but development stopped when CM7 arrived

- CM7 is still not really stable

- Official ROMs are really slow, no matter Froyo/Gingerbread

- Zeus ROM could become good, but still it's slow compared to CM7

- I haven't tested Marvin ROM or whatever it's called

Optimus Black could be a good phone, but it was too expensive when it was new, so nobody bought it, which lead to a small developer base, and here we are. I have that phone for almost a year now I think, and it still sucks ass.

Honestly, if you can get it cheap, it's not a bad phone. If had the choice again, I'd always buy a Nexus. Edit: Or anything with _proper_ CM support.
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
Lol my bad. Had it for nearly a year and always thought it didn't have gorilla glass. As when it came out it wasn't very clear of it was or it wasn't.
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
One time my black fell on the solid floor and it didn't even have a scratch! I was afraid to look because I thought that the screen is broken for sure (because of the impact and the sound). :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] slack04:
Great work. If we had a mod here, I'd say this should be stickied, and the old one removed. Thanks!

First...this is a great tutorial! Question though... is there some other way to root without wiping and losing my current data? Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] AceTrader:
You can flash the root zip file without wiping the data and cache. It will work.

OP have written so to make sure no issues arise because of flashing i guess.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] S0ckM0nk3y:
Correct I never said it was mandatory to wipe I said I do it because it's less chance of things goin wrong and I'm anal like that lol. But no wiping is not mandatory however if you don't wipe and something goes wrong do not ***** about it :-)

You don't need to flash the ROM to root... the zip I used to root my tab was like 5MB not 300!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] AceTrader:
Who told you to flash a ROM to root?

Did you even read the OP fully?

The zip in the OP contains all the files required for rooting and unrooting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] S0ckM0nk3y:
There are also links to each individual download

So before you decide come in my thread and ***** about something read the whole OP first.

Nowhere in my guide does it say you have to flash a ROM to root.

So as Centinal Prime said "I'll overlook your condescending tone if you heave the gravity of mine"

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!

This is one reason I hate posting guides on here. People don't search or read before they act on things. Remind me never to make a one-click-root for anything.

Try installing Samsung Kies on your pc/mac/linuxbox or whatever you are using.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Zugshad:
Ok I've tried both rooting guides and running into an issue I've not had before rooting my phones, I followed the instructions and installed the drivers from the other post. I put my new tablet in download mode and start Odin and plug it in. If it recognizes and I select the recovery file and start it. I it connects and starts loading the image and after 30secs or so my laptop bluescreens with a drv_ira something error and reboots. I I've tried reinstalling drivers as administration, and run Odin as administration, and turn off firewall and av, and it still does the same thing. I does anyone have any ideas as what might be wrong or what should try? I had to head back to work so figured I would ask for when get home. This has never happened with any phone I've done. I appreciate any help.

Zug

Edit: ok got home and re did some work. I found a video and went off of that.. just as some advice (that wasn't listed in writing) I had to uncheck the f-reset in odin, i used a different usb port. I also used the files in a folder on the desktop like the video instead of a folder in my downloads. One of those 3 things fixed the issue and I no longer got the blue screen. So, if you run into this issue, try one of these and that should hopefully help you as well.

Thanks for your efforts with writing this tutorial but there seems to be a glitch with CWM that maybe you could update the OP with and that is that some of our devices do not like some versions of CWM, v5.0.2.7 and v4.0.0.4 both ended up with a fast rolling screen in Recovery but ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar from here http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=8 was successful although I'm not sure of the differences between them are but I have noticed that some of our members here have v5.5.0.4 listed in there specs that is why I thought I would try it out.

i can confirm we are having the same problems....

mine was bought in taipei, taiwan...

havign those rolling screen problems...

it was removed by flashing to stock US wifi tab 10.1 firmware.....everything works fine, even flashing CWM 5.5.0.4 no problems at all..

however, when i install custom rom (havent tried other except task 14) ....i get screen off/on problems...screen will turn off and never go on again unless i reboot, and whenever screen sleeps the problems persists

before doing this i have already tried, flashing the CWM from overcome, and rolling was gone, successful flash of Task ROM as well without any screen problems...

from here if you want to use pershoots kernel, you ll have to stick with the screen roll problem at boot, to be fixed by a screen/off....after that problem is gone.......problem is , i dont want that rolling evertime i have a fresh boot....

i reflashed taiwan official rom, installed pershoot CWM...i have the same rolling of CWM again...

so reflashed OVercome CWM and reflashed Task 14...everything seems fine..

so i can confirm, for us unlucky ones with a non US (maybe asia?) tab 10.1 wifi, we will be limited to what we can flash..
