It'll be called the Optimus 3x, and the T-mobile version will be the G3x, because of the Tegra 3.

Quad core processing, will have at least a gig of RAM, so twice as much RAM, 100% faster processing times. Not to mention a 4.7 inch screen, real 720p HD screen and 21 mbps radio instead of 14.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
That makes way more sense than G4x.

However, I am an LG owner scorned. It's either iPhone or Nexus device for me.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
With Samsung dominating the Android phone market, it would be wise for LG to pull a Hyundai. Meaning, institute a 3 year update Guarantee on all phones going forward. Basically, within 3 months of a major release of Android (Think Eclair->Froyo->Gingerbread) you are Guaranteed the update, or you get a full refund on the price of the phone(What you paid for the phone when you bought it, granted you actually have to contact LG before getting the refund) That way you know that when you buy an LG phone you are assured you will have an updated phone. Sounds crazy? People said a 10 year warrantee was crazy, but Hyundai is doing pretty damn awesome right now. And 3 years worth of updates isn't asking for a heck of a lot.

Imagine the impact this would have on the industry? If successful, this would force HTC, Samsung, Motorola and other manufactures to get their stuff together and support phones instead of slight upgrades throughout the year (Think Droid3->Droid4 and Atrix->Atrix2, as well as the Myriad of phones related to the original EVO 4G).

It'll take a true leader to show this industry changing innovation, and someone who isn't a foolish corporate pig to pull it off. I just don't know if any corporation that makes our beloved phones have the courage or the scruples to actually try this.

Imagine, even as a sheeple consumer, seeing on a phone 3 year update guarantee on a big sticker on the box. Most would wonder what makes that special, and on the back can be a section explaining how most phones are forgotten a couple months after release, but if you get an LG phone, you are guarenteed your money back, if your phone isn't updated to the newest OS within three months of release. Then it could go on about how the updates help security and stability with the phone, as well as better support for future apps.

Could turn LG's business around. But what do I know? I just put out good ideas while the execs at LG release a highly anticipated phone only to have it fall on its face and walk away from it pretending it never happened, leaving it's customers high and dry...they clearly know what they are doing. Put me in charge of LG and I promise that they will be the smartphone leader in 2 years (any LG people listening ;P )
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alphs:
That's not wise at all…. LG will never ever guarantee that, considering android is developed by a different company. Who knows if future iterations of android will require significantly more power. Google's own Nexus One isn't even being updated to ICS, and that was only 2 years ago. Also LG will never be able to sell any low or mid range phones, considering they don't have top of the line hardware to begin with.

Then if LG fail to deliver their promise based on the first point, they have to essentially buy back 2-3 year old hardware they had already sold at their original price.

That idea is ludicrous and there is a reason it hasn't been implemented.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iArtisan:
You, sir, are a genius.

/sarcasm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
Yeah, basically same thing that was said about Hyundai, thanks for proving my point!:D "How can you support a car for 10 Years?!?!" And honestly, ICS really should've been release for the Nexus One. Low end phones going forward will be at about the level of the G2x and the original Transformer (Look up ZTE Tegra2 phone, it's considered a mid-level 2012 phone). Besides, this could be offered only to premium handsets.

Also, you assume that 100% of the people will actually take advantage of the warranty. Reality is about 12.5% actually use the warranty on products. I actually learned 30% in marketing, and in my 10 years in corporate business, it's actually more like 12.5%. Better marketing, vs at most 30% of people taking advantage of it (unrealistic)

The idea isn't ludicrous, it just saddens me that their are such self-limited minds out there.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
There is no need for higher than 720p... at 4.7" that matches the iPhone 4 PPI which is already so great that it would be pointless to increase further (unless the screen is made bigger). The difference would be so minuscule and the cost would be driven up and performance way down. Something's gotta drive these HD resolutions.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iiiiaann:
Okay so I've got a bit of a problem. My EVO won't get past the "HTC Evo 4G" Screen when I turn it on. I figured I would just unroot it and re-root it to fix the problem, so I found a guide that said to flash the UnrEVOked Forever S-On tool and then flash PC36IMG to do that, so I flashed the unrevoked tool, I have S-On now, but the PC36IMG that I have won't flash, it just says "Can't open /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip (bad)" so I'm assuming I have the wrong one. I believe the one i have is

"PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip"

which I thought was right because the radio number matches the one that is on my phone, but it won't work. I also tried the RUU with the same version, and that wouldn't work either.

My question is, is there some way I can get S-Off again through recovery and then just try flashing a different ROM to see if that fixes the problem? Or do I just have the wrong RUU/PC36IMG? Or am I SOL?

My Bootloader info is:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-2.10.0001

MICROP-041F

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224-16ab

RADIO-2.15.00.11.19

It was a ROM issue that prevented your phone from booting, not a root issue.

Re-root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iiiiaann:
I'm still rooted, I just have s-on. Is there a way I can get s-off through the bootloader/recovery?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Yes - just flash unrEVOked forever.

P.S. The reason that PC36IMG wouldn't flash is because you don't flash it in recovery - it has to be renamed to PC36IMG.zip and flashed through the bootloader (HBOOT).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xmguy:
Ok,

Here is what I'm wanting. I'm a musician and I used my Bionic, Droid X before I got this Razr to record my video covers for YouTube. I used the front camera on the Bionic and it was in 640x480. Which was fine. Now on the Razr I can't seem to change the front camera resolution at all. Is there a hack that can be done to force a lower resolution (like 640x480)? Recording in HD takes too much space on my memory card and takes WAY to long to upload to YouTube. Ideas? It has to be using the Blur camcorder. Because only the Blur app uses the stereo mics on the phone.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xT4Z1N4TRx:
The "LGCamera app" free from the market supports stereo mic, and can change res. It can also change bitrates :)

hmmm.... sslauncher? never heard of it, im gonna have to check it out. Not sure if i like the windows phone look though, but i love that clock!... lol... i will try it out and see what i can come up with.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lightningdude:
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but why start a new one when it's talking about the exact same thing? I just finished manipulating ssLauncher to make my Play look more similar to the PSP.

I left it on different setup for the Cover Page when using Landscape vs. Portrait so that I could make sure the icons would stay in the right places. That's why I have widgets in the lower corner portrait and not in landscape.

The camera, phone, and messaging icons take you directly to those apps, but the other icons link to other launcher pages. My camera app is 360Camera, the internet icon goes to a page of internet-based apps, the music leads to a media page with graphic and audio apps, phone and messaging are stock, then there's the game page, then instead of a settings menu, the last icon is for all the other apps.

Edit: I just hid the background on my weather app, and it looks even better!

I like it, you inspired me, I am doing a mod myself. Putting a LOT of work into it because I LOVE MY PSP and I stopped using it because of my Play, now I can feel better like I have it with me again! I'll throw up some pics once I get farther. I'm maybe 25% done but I'm still getting the hang of ssLauncher. Once I'm done though, it should look almost identical to my PSP!

EDIT: I uploaded the Original PSP Font in TTF so you can use it with this awesome launcher!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lightningdude:
This is the direct backup of my current setup. I don't know how well it will work, as I haven't actually tried to use other people's themes. I'm going to try the PSP font from the post above this one. This backup doesn't have that font, it has a Sony Sketch font found in Rom Toolbox.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] HolySorento:
Its Ok to me, could you post it plz?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] lightningdude:
I could be wrong, but I don't think the theme backup saves the custom icons and such. I think you need to have those on your phone already.

I uploaded my zip a few posts ago, and also uploaded what I used as stock for the icons. I know mine doesn't look as much like a PSP as devi59's does, but if mine's good enough, look there.

To install, download and install ssLauncher. Hit the menu button once in ssLauncher, then click Theme. Scroll down to Load theme, then navigate to where you saved the zip file to.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BundyR25:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
At this point there's no way to have full recovery backups through CWM. adb allows us to do almost the same.

Here's how:

$ adb shell
$ su
# stop
# busybox tar cf /mnt/external_sd/data.ext4.tar --exclude media --exclude dalvik-cache /data
# reboot

To restore:

$ adb shell
$ su
# stop
# busybox tar xf /mnt/external_sd/data.ext4.tar -C /
# reboot

This will not backup the internal sdcard "/data/media" it's likely too large, so it should be backed up manually.

tar is the same format CWM uses, so it should restore from Titanium Backup.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
thanks for this! Every little bit helps.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tomlogan1:
I've not tried this yet, but am wondering what and where the output file would be located. Would you be able to use this as a recovery method from one ROM to the saved ROM similarly to what is done with CWM?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
For the instructions posted an external sdcard is needed it would be in the root of the card. You can substitute external_sd with sdcard to save in to the internal memory.

And yes this can work just as CWM when switching ROMs. For example before upgrading to ICS. Then, if possible, flash back to Honeycomb and restore the backup.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tomlogan1:
Just to make sure I have done this, correctly, I have a file on my external sd called data.ext4. Should I wish to try another ROM, I would load the new ROM via the normal recovery method, and then if I wanted to restore from the data.ext4 file, I would use ADB to restore this file. Would this overwrite the existing ROM so I could , for instance, use ICS and then move back to HC? Looking at the data.ext4 file, it appears that all the applications have been backed up as well. Am I correct? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Currently no one has made any roms, I guess because of no CWM which isn't needed, Theres only stock HC and stock ICS. Unfortunately ICS CAN'T be downgraded back to HC, previously I saw no mention of it being possible or not. Titanium backup is capable of restoring apps and data from a nandroid / tar. Which I don't own so I can't test it. Lets say you start getting a bunch of Force Closing apps and you have already made a tar backup. Then just fire up adb and restore it. Or you want to factory reset and start fresh, then install individual apps/data through Titanium from the tar, if even possible.

AppExtractor can also restore app data from a nandroid. Well, it doesn't work with my adb backup on the a100 but if I copy it to my phone AppExtractor has no problem reading the archive. I don't know about Titanium.

[edit]Just want to add to this post because it is actually possible to downgrage to HC. crossix has instructions here xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22970185&postcount=147.

Also peporras opened a thread about it xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517286
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tomlogan1:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Your not specifying any files to be tarred. The command should end with /data
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sephtdj:
many thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tomlogan1:
If you changed "data.ext4.tar" to "nameilike.ext4.tar" you would then be able to have a catalog of different setups you made, assuming some other ROMS in the future. The reason for this is the previous generation of CWM on the A500 used the date for the file name and if you had 5 or 6 you didn't know which was which.
