[LG Optimus 3D] Stinger2U:
Optimus 3D P920 CyanogenMod 10 nightly - my experience

So guys now that ICS for O3D is out I will give it a shot and leave CM10 behind until it reaches a stable version.

I've been having fun with it and used it as my daily driver ever since the first nightly. Work done by aremcee is great and i hope it will reach a stable and bug free version soon. But I'm a little tired of some bugs and kind of miss the 3D screen functionality (damn you LG - release those drivers).

I have to say that I used clean CM 10 so no custom kernels, camera tweaks and such...

So here is a little recap of what i like (so far), and what i hate so far (this is a nightly after all)

What I like::good:

1. Great battery life (especially when you turn of the backlight and reduce screen brightness)

2. Speed (I haven't tried ICS yet but when compared to gingerbread it is a little bit faster in day to day use and in launching apps). Although because of the 2D fps problem the interface lags sometimes.

3. Jelly Bean on our phone - hell yeah - and all the goodies that come with it

4. Performance and other tweaks added by the CM team

5. Really great boot time (the phone boots blazingly fast)

6. It may be a nightly, but it's stable as hell - ever since i installed the custom bootloader I've had exactly zero freezes, zero force restarts and stuff like that - unlike gingerbread where the phone used to randomly reboot at least twice a week.

7. Camera startup time is waaaaaaaay faster then in gingerbread

8. Knowing that there is a team working on this and keeping our phone up to date (regularly) , fixing it step by step, ironing out the bugs and expecting nothing in return - thank you CM team for making our miserable phones not that miserable, and especially thank you Ricardo.

What I don't like:

1. The number one biggest complain is the 2D (and 3D) fps lock. I know it's a graphics drivers bug but sometimes it gets really frustrating. For those who don't know what I'm talking about : When you turn on the phone and start using it immediately the interface runs at smooth 60 fps. After locking and unlocking the phone the fps caps at 45fps (both in 2D and 3D) which leads to occasional stuttering of the interface (and apps).

2. Camera in 3rd party apps is upside down (for example when using Camera360)

3. Tethering doesn't work (both wifi or usb) - I've tried a couple of different methods but none have worked

4. Constant disconnecting of the phone when plugged into a computer via USB - for example when i transfer files from my PC to my phone (or vice versa) the phone randomly disconnect and reconnects again which leads to interrupted transfers. This gets really frustrating when trying to transfer big files. I've tried this on a number of PCs and the result is the same.

5. The need to install custom bootloaders to avoid freezing

6. The 3D button is useless. Somebody should add an option to assign it as a camera shutter button, or to give the users the option to assign the button to whatever function they want.

So that's my experience with the CM10 nightly. In general it's mostly been a pleasure to use, save for a few quirks here and there. Of course this is still a nightly and problems like this are expected. For now I'll be switching to ICS, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how long will i stick with it - maybe I'll be back to CM faster than you can say CM. For now I hope that I can use it at least until CM10 reaches a stable version and those problems i mentioned are solved. There aren't any words with which I could express my gratitude toward the CM team and the work they've done - it's beyond words.
