If you search, we'll glad you.

But I think you wont, so i'll explain to u:

ROM is the cellphone operating system version. Android is known as a very customiseble SO, so each rpm have its pros and cons. But it is MAINLY visible, so, each rom is for a especific model of cellphonex with just a few hardware and driver changed

Kernel is the basis of the SO. As android is Linux-Based, it is the SO code where have the drivers, and this kinds of stuff.

Now, learn to search, and my post helped you, use the thank button.

And next time post in Q&A forum.

[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
hi, i just a bought a motorola Photon for my CDMA number .

im a long time user of Blackberry, and iPhone

i still use my Blackberry 9900 for my GSM number

and traded my iPhone for an iPad

anyway, this is my first ever android device.

so can you guys tell me what should i do with it to make my experience with this platform be better ?

eg:

how to upgrade to latest firmware or software

hot to maximize the phone capabilities

and how to install games and apps ?

please pardon me as i never use any android device before so i'm quite "blind" here

but I'm into tweaking the phone that i had

i've jailbreaked my iPhone and my iPad and i've upgraded my Blackberrys several time over the years , so i guess I'm not so novice in this gadgets world.

i just need some guidance :P

thank you so much

[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Mm I highly suggest you download these apps and youll love ur phone 10 times more, go to the market download 4shared mobile, tjen open 4shared mobile and register, in 4shared search adw ex and download it, it may be under adw ex launcher. Then in 4shared search chompsms and download that, 4shared is like limewire but for apks on android(make sure is .apk). A launcher is what handles your home screen and app drawer, adw ex is very costumizable, chompsms is my favorite app for costumizing my text messaging app, but you will have to disable your stock text app in the apps settings so you wont get two notifications for every text. Dolphin browser hd is free in google play, good browser. Also in 4shared for better widgets download beautiful widgets, and for costumizable trigger widgets download widgetsoid from 4shared(i use this widget constantly to turn off 3g, gps, wifi, my led flashlight, screen rotation, all from my homescreen. Themes for adw launcher are in google play.

Granted others my suggest a different launcher sms etc, but these are GREAT apps with very few flaws and give you a much more customizable phone and see some of what android is all about:)

For games, in 4shared download hyperjump or radiant hd or guns n glory theyre all pretty good games to get ya started! this all may seem like a lot to do but its worth it I promise! Hope I helped give you a running start into the android world its a pretty vast one.

PS: widgetlocker is a great app for costumizing your lock screen! :D (4shared not googleplay)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TurbulentEddie:
My suggestion would be to first get comfortable playing around with settings and apps on the stock (normal, no-root) version of Android.

Then, if you're still "hungry for more" or curious (and not too worried about warranty issues), look at rooting the stock version. What this can add is user-controlled underclocking (power savings), app backup/bloatware removal capabilities, and some other nifty things. It's worth checking out the "All things Photon" rexxxgg posted to get a few ideas.

The next step up the ladder is unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom recovery, and then installing a custom ROM. It's slightly higher risk than rooting, especially if you're not comfortable with RSD-mode/flashing SBFs (if you don't understand what I'm saying, make sure you read about it!), but also high reward. Custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod and MIUI, are designed to really take advantage of everything Android can and should be, IMO. BUT you really need to do some reading to understand the risks of rooting and ROM-ing first. The phone companies definitely do not have your back once you decide to take the plunge (as you may be well aware with from jailbreaking and such)!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Everything I posted is about as much costumizating you can do without root
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
okay thx for the advices

I'm thinking to load a ROM

can anyone give me idea which one to load ?

i want the most stable build

should i flash with STOCK rom or Custom ROM ?

and which version ?

thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mykeyvee:
which roms?

i liked, shadow, rocko rom, homebase, and cm9. none of these are stock, but homebase is very very close, the others offer more customization! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] rexxxgg:
cm9 is a very stable rom i just love it. joker even got the camera working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mykeyvee:
Did you just flash cm9? Or have you been on that for a while?

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.

I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.

So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] :
Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it
[General Questions and Answers] aig787:
I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core

Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.

I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,

Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.
[General Questions and Answers] Krusadr:
I have actually managed to see iBerry tablet Auxus in hand and first impression was: good for the price. Had only about 5 minutes time with the tablet.

Of course, there were downsides. Here are my opinions:

1) Its a 7 inch screen with 800x480 resolution so ICS looks pixelated. screen is not that great. But it gets the job done.

2) The test unit just froze for no reason, had to restart, and then it was butter smooth thanks to 1GB massive RAM.

3) Apps opened very quickly, website browsing was fast, Flash was supported and worked fine.

4) had real Android market; Google Play Store.

5) Rear 2MP camera and front 0.3MP (I guess as it was 640x480 res pic) camera for video chat. Cam quality was OK.

6) Had decent amount of available inbuilt memory ~ 1.5 GB, plus support for MicroSD card.

7) Wifi b/g. No n support, no Bluetooth.

Overall, I would recommend iBerry only if you are budget conscious, not sure about anything else like support, rooting etc as it depends on popularity of such local products.

And its a heck of a lot better than Aakash, that much I am sure about.

[LG Optimus 3D] JastaPein:
Hi everyone.. LG FanBoy here .. .

From Optimus One*previous* to Optimus Black *current* and now i eyeing to purchase a new phone again.. offcourse LG :p

i like to play games on my phone .. a lot of time actually..

can somebody help me choose a phone between optimus 3d and optimus 2x :confused: im really confused right now what to buy..

here in our country the price of Optimus 2X is $362 while Optimus 3D is $376 ~

any suggestions what to buy this mid of April?. .
[LG Optimus 3D] Gerrett:
If lg will ever fix the ghost calls buy a the 3D (its a bit faster) if not, buy the x2. If you want many custom roms etc buy the x2.

If you can wait a bit buy the x4 :D

[LG Optimus 3D] omarfaieq007:
3D...good deal for what u get..PEACE
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
read the ghost call thread for O3D and any issue for X2. Decide which one is lesser of an evil. I would not recommend o3d. Today in crisis situation of my car breaking down the phone kept freezing, had to restart it many times. Most times its fine but i guess under pressure it breaks down. Luckily had my old N900 with me which helped me make calls.
[LG Optimus 3D] Gerrett:
N900 rult :D so sad that mine is broken. Loved that phone ;)

Gesendet von meinem LG-P920 mit Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
2x is better phone, shame it has got only 4 inch display, 4,3 would be better for games.

There are all kinds of roms for 2x.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Actually the O3D is usually slightly ahead 2X in most of the benchmarks when stock ROMs are considered.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
Get O3D if you want to play games in 3D. Or get O3D Max for extra RAM even current RAM is enough imo.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Are you mad ? After all the software/hardware problems that both of those phones have you even consider spending any money on one of them ? If you gonna "buy/ put your money" on any phone, get something that works,keep youself away from LG phones. If you gonna get it for "free", get O3D but don't forget that this phone can't receive calls or text messages.
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
Like ThiaiZ said, buy neither of those.

Maybe, and I underline maybe, the Ghost calls issue is solved, and then we will have a phone nearly bug free, 9 months after its release date.

We were all beta testers for LG so far.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
And what do you want to do with these benchmark results? Make a poster with it? And I'm saying that o2x have all kinds of roms, and cm9 port.

It also don't have ghost calls.

But better buy htc sensation, evo3d, or Atrix.

But o2x is quite good option and less problematic than o3d, which is really annoying. I was torn the same way, wanted bigger screen. Now i want a phone that is easier for developers (o3d is a nightmare) to have aosp. Don't make mistake, don't buy 3d crap from lg. Every other phone is better, unless you want to stick with stock roms with ghost calls.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Hold your horses. I said about stock roms, i.e., how the phones function just out of the box.

It's a well known fact that few of the average users root their phones and even fewer install custom roms. Most don't even install the official rom updates. You would be amazed how many average users keep their phones, for example, with the original Eclair even if there is an official Froyo or Gingerbread update.

As for the OP, I will suggest to get another non-LG phone. But if you want to decide solely between the O3D and the 2X, I would suggest to get the O3D if he wants to keep everything stock. Larger screen, a little faster and absolutely the best 3D than any other 3D phone/device. And better keep the stock Froyo at the moment if he doesn't want any ghost call.
[LG Optimus 3D] oyanezg:
Hahaha wtf your rom is great i havent had any problem with ghost calls or anything Thiaiz your roms are so great , this issue with ghosts calls maybr a carrier issue rather than the rom or phone issue I used my country rom(Mexico) with no oroblem 21a flashed since 2.5 to 2.7.1 just a few minutes ago and no ghost calls at all.

So I would recomend o3D or. O3D-Max because of the ram

By the way thx again for your work Thiaiz.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
On stock both lg are crappy as hell, on o3d full hd recording is choppy. Benchmarks are artificial, don't rely on them. Only if you want compare gpu maybe. Lg o3d has only bigger screen. On stock it lags and hangs, sometimes phone don't responds when playing demanding game.

On stock i would recommend SE neo, Arc, htc sensation, Motorola atrix.
[LG Optimus 3D] JastaPein:
here in our country i asked a couple of folks using O3D and they said that they dont have that kind of ghost call issue.. . i think the problem came from your carrier~

i will surely install custom rom whatever phone i will get.. AFAIK O2X has a lot more great custom roms as of the moment.. but the reason why im considering O3D is for watching 3D anytime & anywhere i want.. .

with regards to HTV Evo i'd rather choose the O3D which is way cheaper than HTC and much better screen display too.. . im not into video recording too so 1080p problem with O3D is no big deal for me..

any other problems on stock rom that O3D has? please share it to this thread.. .
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
For me it has too little ram, or bad ram management. Eg. I was playing some games like shadowgun and the game becames laggy, and the phone stops responding and becomes hot. After couple of minutes reboot.

Also i was installing and uninstalling many apps after some time of usage stock ROM becomes very slow..

I don't have ghost call either, maybe 2 times. But many ppl around the world are complaining.

For me its a good phone, too little ram is a serious issue sometimes thou.

But there is NO ROM from aosp that can be used as a daily ROM. Only buggy cm7. The rest are stock tweaked roms. They are very good but not as fast as custom aosp ROM can be.

For me 2 huge disadvantages: ram, and no roms from aosp, miui, cm7, whatever. This phone is horrible for developers, even for CM TEAM
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
Same here, never get any problem with ghost call at all since the beginning even with any custom ROM.
[LG Optimus 3D] cassianog:
Do NOT buy this phone. It can't receive calls or sms messages on certain times, which we never know when it happens or how long it will last (ghost calls).
[LG Optimus 3D] PanagiotisGreece:
i guess all depends of the money you are about to spent

and the difference of the price for 2x and 3d

i own an optimus 3d buy now i am fully ok with this one

its weak point is on 3d pictures taken on Night

or in a room with no good light

but 2d pics even on night are very good with its flash

both of them are good phones but i would prefer the 3d because only for 3d

you can choose clasic pics or 3d pics
[LG Optimus 3D] gioagril:
I m satisfied,my 3d with thiaz rom work smooth and stable. I know that there s poor support:

[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
3D! 3D! Don't be put off by the ghost calling thing. I've never had an issue with it and I'm not convinced it's as common as people are making out...
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
I just read another post of yours saying that you just bought the phone, so my question is, if you just bought it, how can you state that GC problem is not that common ? Sounds like you have no idea what you talking about sir. People from all around the world including me have had GC since November last year. This phone is amazing as a "Media player",still IMO the best out there, but it is a disaster as a telephone.

Stay away from both of the phones or anything with a LG logo in its front and that fits in your hands, this is my advice.

BTW read the "GC" thread and you gonna find out that LG is "working" on a fix to the issue, what means that it exists.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Only thing to force them do sth with GCs is to give back phones to make them fix the issue.. They will have phones which are faulty, and maybe will fix the problem

Dealing with the issue via internet with LG is useless, as they claim nobody reported it and sent phone to the service..
[LG Optimus 3D] guillefs:
Optimus 3D !!!! Best !
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
Yes, I just bought the phone 3 weeks ago. And have had NO problems with ghost calling. I can't state that the GC problem is not that common. That's why I didn't state that the GC problem is not that common. I simply said that I'm not convinced that it is as common as some people are making out (as if it affects the majority of handsets).

Can you prove that it is common? Not until you buy 100 of them, use them all for two weeks, and report back to me with your findings. If you aren't willing to do that, then stop your whining and sit down boy (because for all you know, it might only affect 2% of handsets).
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
If I can prove? Do you work for LG dude? Did you read the GC thread or you are just blind? If 2/3 of the users there state that they have gc or moved back to froyo because of gc, how come that you still think it is not common? And I have used this phone since its 1st week of release,didnt get it for 3 weeks ago.Waste of time to discuss with new users like you. BTW you sit down lil boy.
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
Firstly, Cathy is a girls name.

Secondly, your method of deduction is terrible. I know this is going to be difficult to explain to you, but 2/3rds of users ON A THREAD ABOUT GHOST CALLS are experiencing ghost calls. WOW. Go find a forum somewhere about coping with syphilis and tell me how many people on there are suffering from syphilis. Maybe we can apply those stats to the general population too, and what dya know, looks like the majority of people have it!

Bet you did well in school... *sigh*
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
I can bet that almost every single person with an O3D has GC issue and doesn't know about it.

How can someone recomend a phone that its PROVEN not to work as such?
[LG Optimus 3D] aaki_rocker:
if you are a multimedia guy, definately the oprimus 3d/thrill 4g !

Sure thing, my kitchen is probably a lot nicer than your mommy's basement.
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
I also thought that this is a not common problem. Till yesterday. I had ghost SMS twice and don't know about else. The problem is that it is hard to prove. And hard to notice until somebody tell you that you don't reply to SMS and calls you didn't ever had.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
+1 here.Everyone has at some point stated that they didn't have GC, including me, untill the bad news were delivered by friends or family members. Everyone has it, come on guys, wr all have the same software+same hardware.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
+1 here again.As multimedia device, O3D is a beast.
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
I'm sorry but yesterday you've said that you just bought the O3D and today you say that you "bought the phone 3 weeks ago". Which is it?

In any case, since you "just" bought the phone, do you still have the stock ROM the phone came with or you've upgraded it with the new ROM? In other words, could you tell us what ROM your phone has?
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
Sorry, I didn't realize there was a one day time limit on the word just. Do forgive me. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Yep, i confirm that. I have this phone for 4 months and only yesterday i realized that some SMS ppl send me weren't received by my phone.

O3d is excellent phone but ghost calls is a real issue, even if you think it isn't affecting your phone, some day you'll notice it. But its hard to notice.
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
I didn't answer it because you were being rather impolite. And still are. It still has the stock ROM. It's had a hard reset, which some people seem to think can stop any issues with GC.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
Nope, hard reset does nothing. Are you using 2.2 or 2.3? Because if you're using 2.2 I advise you to stay with that.
[LG Optimus 3D] Cathy_C:
Yeah, still on 2.2. Will do :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
+1 Merlee

Yep, I completely undestand ThiaiZ on this. Its really gets to me when people don't know what is being discused and start recomending this phone.

We´ve all been ripped off by LG and now were being treated as sh!t!

The main point is: if you upgrade to 2.3 you will get in trouble (even if you don't know it), so before posting "I don't have GC ISSUE and bla bla and really I don't undestand why everyone is crying about bla bla bla" get the facts straight!
