[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
I can't say anything else than "It should" here.

I wasn't *****ing and complying about proprietary stuff because it's closed. I'm completely able to reverse engineering that stuff and make mine.

I was complying on the fact that if they want to distribute something proprietary, at least, they should be able to CODE it in a good way.

Then, the difference between me and an OEM is that I'm a freelance developer, while the OEM is taking money for selling you the phone and the software included with it.

Since they're taking money, we should expect at least something well coded.

I want to make clear that I'm a STRONG opensource supporter.

There simply are some source that you really can't release for various reasons... and my chooses are:

1. If I really can't release the source of a GPL licensed program, I won't even publish the binaries!

2. If I really can't release the source of an Apache licensed program, I will at least publish the binaries for others to be able to at least use it at their will.

And I want to make clear, also, that "really can't release" means that there are major causes for that, it's not being jealous of the code.

My soul suffers when I can't publish the sources. Really.

Sincerely, LG phones have never been good... at all. Including the Optimus 2X, lots of software hacks for unsolved hardware problems.

The Optimus 4X HD, however, looks like it is on another whole level, and I can judge it as an awesome device... absolutely the first good (and..yeah, awesome) device from LGE.

The only thing that is fundamental for me is missing on the Optimus 4X HD and from what I know on most (if not all) of LG devices out there isn't any DAMN STATUS LED...

...but that's something that I would be able to solve with a custom kernel, using the soft buttons backlight as a status led when the display is off when LG will unlock the bootloader.

In overall, I can tell you for sure that I literally LOVE my HTC One X, but I'm starting to love the O4X too, strangely.

Surely, when the BL will get unlocked, I'll love the O4X a lot more than now.

Compared to the HTC One X, there are less hardware hacks... and I can tell you, for me, I'd give +10 points to the O4X because the One X has got an hardware problem on the WiFi chip, bad wiring, so that you need bad software hacks for not draining the battery in 30 seconds.

Okay, I've solved that thing using a nifty software solution and now it's like that problem doesn't exist, but still, knowing that the mainboard is really badly engineered isn't making me so much happy.

I'm sure that the LG Optimus 4X, with an unlocked bootloader, would easily beat the HTC One X... but hey, time will tell.

The really MAJOR performance improvements are on my kernel, you know?

Pity is that we're currently locked.

Btw, there's a really good part of performance improvements done on the OS, that's why I've been talking about the EternityProject OS Mod.

EDIT:

Oh, obviously, the performance enhancements made on the kernel (practically an almost complete rewrite of all the lowlevel tegra management layer) have been already published.

You may see a preview of what will come on the O4X (kernel) here -> https://www.gitorious.org/eternity-prj/eternityprj-kernel-endeavoru-128/

..and please note, this is corresponding to the latest release of the EternityProject Kernel for HTC One X. On our private GIT repositories we've got a new (still) unpublished version with other major rewrites.
