Typical. You're not basing your vote off of the phone. You base it off the OS the phone runs.

And Android has been a buggy unstable nightmare. I spend most of my time with my phone trying to get it to work.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when it works. It refuses to work quite often.
The ROM I'm tinkering with (see signature) seems promising.

Try out a g2 or nexus one, or high end motorola, or low end samsung without touch wiz or an lg or other phone with a vanilla rom. The cappy has a great gpu and screen but the original stock rom wasnt very good with unreliable gps and at least for me big problems connecting to samsung kies or a windows pc's in general. The leaked froyo generally works a lot better and still has major bugs that don't bother me too much. The official froyo should make people happier even if it's taking too long.
Remember how much the iphones sucked untill ios 3 came out when it could finally do the things you'd expect it to do in the os like picture/video text and copy/paste. And it was already on its second or third hardware version.
But that's a bad example because android was already ahead in many areas (multi taking, app drawer, folders, notifications that didn't stop what you were doing, widgets) and still is. And in ios3 you still had a crappy camera.

I'm fully aware that Android is a gazillion times better than what Samsung is presenting.
I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

How the hell can someone go vote WM7 as the best mobile OS, when no device actually HAS the OS on it? Because they like the concept of it, it automatically makes it better the OS's that have already proven themselves? Hmmmm.......

Mikeymike try DG s aosp rom. Its the most vanilla android rom we have for now. It still has some touchwhiz in it but what's not is pretty awesome. Like most of us on att this is my first android phone and I didn't care for TW much so I used LP. Tw reminded me too much of ios . I'm looking forward to a complete.aosp rom

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.

[Q] CM 7 Port?

I asked this question in the dev section, but it became locked for some reason. So again, does anyone know if this will be an upcoming port? Sometime soon?
Because it is a Dev topic. Now you are on the right place, if you search a little like a min. you will get your answer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
there was a bounty for this, the thread is burried. basically the cm7 dev team needs an infuse to be sure the drivers are all working. so if you want to donate to the cm7 dev team that would be a start in getting this on our
phone.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087778&highlight=cm7
Is there any total for how much has been donated and can we maybe pin that to the top of the forum?
I agree that CM7 would be a welcome ROM. Coming from the Nexus One, I was spoiled because I always had the latest and greatest ROM at my fingertips. While I'm satisfied with my purchase of the Infuse, I feel like it was also a step backwards.
I recognize the need to build on a current stable foundation, like what Infused, Refuse and Bionix are doing, but I believe someone should, if possible, seriously look into porting Gingerbread from AOSP or CM7 instead of re-hashing Froyo. If this offends the current developers, I'm sorry... anything is better than stock even Bionix 1.0 ;-)
I just feel trying to port a newer version that Samsung has yet to release would be more rewarding for the developers and gratifying for the users.
What say ye?
I totally agree with you kool.
Its like using Windows 7 for awhile, then getting a brand new laptop that only runs XP. But all these devs have new "fancy" versions of XP that half the users end up bricking their phones to try and get. Its crazy.
For this reason, I'm probably going to hit up the AT&T store today and exchange my Infuse for something else. Not sure what yet.
Not to mention I just need to get something that fits in my pocket. This thing is kind of ridiculous.

Proud owner of G2x

So yesterday I went into the store to play a little with the sensation and man I'm glad I got a G2x since release date and not waited for the Sensation. It felt slow all over the place and I compared everything with my G2x.
My G2x felt super smooth while the sensation was feeling laggy and stuttery.
Quadrant scores ( Rounded numbers)
Sensation - 1900
G2x - 2400 (Running stock)
The screen was the biggest dissapointment, The screen was all washed out, and with a yellowish tint. I was hoping to see a major improvement with the higher resolution but didn't compare at all against our phone.
So overall I didn't like the Sensation over the G2x and is not even a match when It comes to speed.
I am a proud owner of the G2x.
Hopefully they start selling the G2x soon. I am pretty sure T-Mobile will be marketing the G2x much more once they release the gingerbread update.
My advise is that you go to your T-Mobile store and try them both and decide for yourself.

Thats it, best answer !! ....Several people have called this out. Go try it. If you like it...buy it. Good for you. If you don't, then good for you. Reasons for buying or not buying anything are between you and yourself.
Please feel free to not share those reasons....privacy laws and all...I'm sure you understand...
Yeah, I understand.
And don't get me wrong, Sensation is a good phone, just like you said, if you like it buy it if you don't, don't buy it. Lol

In my opinion, the G2x, right now, isn't ready for the general public. I think it is a good thing they aren't selling them again until GB comes out.
For me, the phone is a beast. I'm not afraid to root it and start ripping out crap that causes problems or flashing custom software or patches. The phone, completely stock, suffers from crappy programming.
Thats one thing that kills me about Android. I LOVE android but manufactures dig their own graves. Google should hire the CM team officially and make all phones require AOSP drivers. I mean the Nexus One still gets official updates from Google. If Google hired the CM team to work on making phones compatible with AOSP roms, then all phones could get pushed stable updates the way Google pushed updates to the Nexus phones.
See right now, manufactures have to build roms around their drivers. If all phones were made compatible to the same set of drivers then we wouldn't have this fragmentation crap.
They need to make the overlays just additional installs.

When does it stop, what are you after?

I've been running CM7 for over 2 months now and I have stopped coveting any new roms, or any tweaks at all. I came to Android from iPhone when the Dell Streak came out and I was obsessed with what new things I could do with it. I couldn't wait for DJSteve or someone to tweak it some more. I came to Infuse with that same motivation and flashed and flashed and flashed whatever folks came out with just to try it. Then I got CM7 and only waited a short time for some small kinks to be ironed out and I can't think of anything I want my phone to do (although having less shutter lag on the camera would be great). So, with IOS you have the same OS for a year or so and get some improvements, but with XDA and the awesome DEVS you really get all kinds of options.....So here I am, extremely happy with my phone, rarely checking XDA for anything new and I'm wondering..........what "more" do you want? ..........

On another side, also with CM7 .. for the Infuse, fix the front-facing camera resolution issue .. this camera ain't 640x480 only !!!

Bluetooth would be nice. I'd also like to see some real 4G. I know it is in certain places, and it has nothing to do with the developers...
Hoping when gingerbread is finally released officially for our phones, maybe we will see some small improvements... but like you said... there's not much besides the tiny tweaks... and maybe.... getting them to fly .... haha

Part of the fun of Android is that you have the choice. You can take something and be perfectly happy with it like cm7 and run with it, or you can push on to the limits and invent new things as you go. That's the beauty though is that it's up to you, not the company releasing it, not the community, not your mom. It's YOUR choice how far you take it.

I'll be happy when I can get a ROM that will connect to a PS3 controller and be able to output HDMI video. After that, I'll probably stop checking XDA altogether except once every few weeks for an ICS ROM.

I think Google has dropped the ball with Android by not requiring phone manufacturers to enable their hardware to run strictly vanilla Android without any difficulty. If Google had done that, every phone which has the basic hardware for a specific version of Android would have it now. Open Source Android and Linux is a farce because manufacturers have made them essentially closed source due to not releasing the source code for their drivers, etc. May as well have an iPhone.

At least the iPhone is less frustrating because it is a closed system that can't be modified except by Apps and, even then, only those which comply with Apple's requirements unless the phone is jailbroken. I've got an iPod Touch 2nd generation, jailbroken, which I still use and enjoy using but I highly doubt I will still be using the G2X for as long.

I wish I had your optimism. These 3 that are playing in the arena are good. VERY good, but I don't believe Google or LG or nVidia has given us enough to work with to get the radio going. Call it the pessimist in me.

At least the iPhone is less frustrating because it is a closed system that can't be modified except by Apps and, even then, only those which comply with Apple's requirements unless the phone is jailbroken. I've got an iPod Touch 2nd generation, jailbroken, which I still use and enjoy using but I highly doubt I will still be using the G2X for as long.

lol i fully agree with you bro ) i wish android and apple could combine OS's lol andropple lol tht would be funny but insane too bad thts never gonna happen ahahaha
A iPhone ?
You know what's nice with android phones ? You want a overclocked kernel, I can make you one. You want good battery life, I can make something out for you. You want your favourite theme, download it. You want to install a incompatible OS update, give thanks to your devs and they'll make it compatible for you . You want a ROM with nice flames when it boots, then give thanks to your favourite ROM cooker out there.
You want a iPhone, then you get a iPhone, that's it. Gotta like apples.

lol idk what to say but i love your kernal dude..its quite the work and im in full support for you lol i use both cause both OS's are nice just that customization is fully apparent and available on android and i love android for that but for utter smoothness i would go with apple and I know ull hate me for that (( but its true u cant deny it -.- anyways ANDROID RULES still in my case i still love android more so dont be too hard on me if cm 10.1 gets stable with the rom and kernal i will throw my iphone away and never use it again (; lol damn i wish i learned C and C++... :/ too bad i only know pascal and some basics of java :/ dontt hate
