TMobile G2X dump

Hi guys, it looks like the G2X will be out at 20th April, but I know that few of you have the device now (for testing purposes, etc.).
Would you mind taking some time, and sharing with us dump of /system and boot partitions?
Thanks in advance

Indeed, lets hope that someone brave will appear

Today is officialy out

I really hope the G2X Vanilla ROM does not have the same lags as the optimized O2X ROM from MoDaCo.
Well, MoDaCo Rom is much much better than original. But just try to add a widget - Why the hell does it take so long to show the whole list...? On my Desire it appears immediately...

Its definitely a ROM problem,
In the past T-Mobile's ROM's have been decent, very lightweight and fast, and i would expect nothing less this time.
I still think the G2 ROM is one of the best Froyo ROM's out there

@JupiterDroid: Good to see you here mate! Good you trade the HTC Desire HD in for a LG Optimus 2X, or didnt you?

I'd love to know if the G2X firmware can be run on the regular 2X. The thought of running the LG firmware isn't all that appealing
(I haven't actually received my phone yet)

I already ordered the g2x, and it should be here in a few days. If its not posted til then, ill put up a system dump. I just hope the roms between the two devices are interchangeable

i ordered mine too (thanks to customer loyalty 14 day return policy)
if he doesnt post system dumps i will
and yeah the roms should be able to port over smooth... (kinda like the captivate/vibrant roms port)
just gotta change kernels/modems (i think)

its out. i have the demo in my hands. its a beast. OC here we come.. lol
it is a straight vanilla 2.3 rom. there isnt much of anything frivilous on it.

Absolutely. I look forward to comparing it to the LG ROM and packaging it for the 2X.

I would sure hope it's a 2.3rom.. but a true vanilla 2.2 would be lovely on a O2x!

The G2x delivers a true Android experience. No overlays. No clutter. Just Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) the way it was meant to be. The result? A clean, crisp, seamless experience. Ahh.

Am hoping the ROMs will be fully interchangeable between the devices.
Otherwise, I may stay with the stock ROM for awhile - of course, after rooting, flashing recovery, and freezing unwanted apps with titanium. And maybe an overclock kernel (if compatible).
Since it should be an open device, I don't think it will be long before XDA ports a 2.3 ROM for it.

Yeah, traded my HD in for a Nexus S, Then sold my Nexus S due to lack of Dev...
Now I'm getting the G2X sent over from the USA for me, so will be hanging with you guys for the next 8 months until my next contract upgrade Thought it would be a great option as Paul OB has a O2X and Cyanogen is getting the G2X, so when you have that combination you know the **** is gonna hit the fan
Hows things dude? Did you swap your HD for a LG O2X?

Android 2.3.4

Please go play in traffic.

To explain the negative feedback you've gotten thus far, porting to the Thunderbolt is far more complicated than to the Droid 1. The part of the OS that interacts with the radio is (as of yet) unique to the Thunderbolt and essentially has to be reverse-engineered. Slayher and toastcfh are working on a port of CM7 but it is an extremely difficult project for this reason. It's a whole different ballgame on this phone. Nothing to do with the amount of love for it. If there were no love for it, Slayher would not be working so hard to develop a port of CM7.

Who are you referring to? Verizon or the modding community? Verizon continues to hype their 4G network and the Thunderbolt with it. I'm sure HTC has Android 2.3.4 so we'll see what they do with it. The modding community has been pretty good about building off the most recent AOSP builds, but with the Thunderbolt having the 4G radio it has taken a little longer. Give it time. The OG Droid has been around much longer and more people own it than the Thunderbolt. As people upgrade you'll see more and more development for this phone. Personally I'm very happy with how quickly the Thunderbolt was rooted and how quickly devs started tweaking things.

To many mad nerds on here, i was only asking if were gonna see some software upgrades, **** i was running 2.3 on my OG. But yah i can understand how its hard.

Official updates? Probably not till later this summer and who knows if it will be 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. We'll likely see if in CM 7 long before an official OTA

Considering the fact that this phone has barely been out for a month and a half i think the dev is going pretty good. I think that's why people are giving you crap for this post.
There's a few threads on getting 2.3 working on the thunderbolt so its a wip at this point. Htc is supposed to release 2.3 "soon" anyways.

Coming from a Dx, the tbolt has a TON of developer support behind it, it's the main reason i went ahead and used my upgrade (and locking in unlimited 4g) instead of waiting on the dual cores.

Hey, don't knock the OG Droid. That was a great little phone. It was my first Android phone.
The only reason I made my comment is because all the OP needed to do was click on TB development to see all the ROMs and support for this device. For only being out a month, there's a crazy amount of support.

OG Droid still rocks, I have one in front of me.
But dude obviously doesn't remember the wait for 2.1 on the OG.

put a nice silicone cover on it (sexual references meant) then show it love!
Only then can it be shown proper love .... lol
Sorry had this coming <<<<<
Anyway The Devs Are Doing The Thunderbolt Much Justice and are working and slaving for this device so there showing the love

Where are all the ROM devs?

I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!

its called patience.

to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.

You also have to remember that out dev section is split between the o2x and g2x. These two forums should be combined.

Totally disagree, maybe for someone with some flashing experience yes, but for noobs it would be a total mess, flashing o2x roms on g2x phones... not to mention wrong kernels, maybe even radios...not a nice thought..

+1 would be a disaster.

I agree development is slower than I'd expected..

I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

The Vibrant has been out for 10 months. The G2x has been out for barely 2.
Development will come.. It takes some time though. Not every Android dev has the cash to buy a new phone every time one comes out.

Closer to 3 weeks. It's amazing how some people think it is easy to develop a rom.

It would help if anyone could build a kernel from the lg source that didn't break wifi and bt. All attempts have failed.....

I actually thought the opposite, I thought development is going great!
I don't remember really seeing any major development for the Vibrant until after 2 Months!
And we already have a. 2.3.3 and a 2.3.4 Rom out!
Just saying!

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.

Back from a long separation with from my phone.

The biggest development outside of the AOSP projects is that a Canadien version of the Glacier was announced which came stock with pure sense 2.1 gingerbread. We're recently gotten that ROM leak, and as a result have had gingerbread sense ROMs popping up all over the place. Add to that several leaks of Sense 3.0 that were spliced together to build a pretty solid ROM based on the new Sense framework that should be included with the dual core phones hitting stores this summer. Also source was released for a GB Sense kernel that faux has managed to put together so that we now have access to a great kernel to pair with these new ROMs.
AOSP news is pretty much the release of 2.3.4 that includes video chat in google talk. Also the announcement of 3.1 Ice Cream Sandwich coming soon.
There are quite a few more devs now for the MT4G.

Ty so much. What rom are you using?

MT4G finally gets some good news

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-says-first-ice-cream-sandwich-updates-coming-march-adds-more-phones-list
According to HTC, the Desire HD is confirmed to get an official ICS OTA! As we all know, the DHD and MT4G have nearly identical hardware and ROMs are very easy to port between the two. The stock DHD ICS ROM would make a perfect (read: fully functional) base for the MT4G. Assuming we still have decent devs in a few months, we should have a very nice ICS ROM.

As far as specs, yes. Historically speaking, DHD ROMs do still have to be ported to an extent. However, I would expect a fully working camera will be extremely easy with a DHD dump as a base.

I saw that, but isn't that complete crap? Just seems highly unlikely to me. My bet is HTC doesn't consider it worth it, because the myTouch series of phones has that ugly TMO-customized version of Sense. So they'd put a lot of work in customizing that UI to work on ICS for only two phones, one of which is nearing a year and a half old. I just don't see it happening.
