Soon To Be MyTouch 4G Owner: Where Should I Start The Hacking

I will be receiving my new mytouch 4g this thurs. I have been bouncing around with different phones in the past two months. My last three phones were the G2, Nexus S, and most recently the Inspire.
What can I expect coming to this side? What are the most sought after roms kernels? The phone im getting is already rooted with s off and all that so I guess the easy part is done :+}

Tell us why...what make you getting rid of those phone Nexus S G2 Inspire 4G?

I give all my phones a trial period. Its pretty much when im done hacking till I cant hack no more or till I get simply bored. But I always wanted to try a a mytouch but never got around to it.

Didn't see that you were already rooted! In that case, TeamRoyal and Faux pretty much own the MT4G dev section. So anything from them is good, and of course the good ol CM7.

I see. Team Royal has 90% of the roms. I guess I will have a busy day when it comes. I think I downloaded 8 roms. Lol

CM7 > all other ROMs.

RoyalMint is my daily driver since it came out. Team Royal specifically Option94 has been really working hard on it. Not saying they dont work hard on any other of their ROMs.

Thats what i might try first. Its like no matter where i go whether its youtube or somewhere someone has TeamRoyal. it must take the mytouch to another level

I love my g2x thread!

It's disappointing to read about all the complaints and problems everyone is having with their phone. But honestly I'm tired of reading complaint after complaint. I am very fortunate to have not experience any of these problems with any of my g2x's except for a little screen bleed, but that doesn't bother me much. This thread is for the owners who have no problems with their g2x. I'd actually like to see how many happy g2x owners we have here in this forum. For those who haven't experienced problems...are you rooted with custom rom or still on stock?

Except for a little screen bleed on top corners, my G2x is good. Running EagleBlood ROM, but it's been failing since i got it. It's always having a problem either with downloads/ Market/ Home Launcher crashing. Guess i'll have to get another ROM or go back to stock ;/

i've been on ultimate as my daily. i've tried gbread and other froyo's but always go back to ultimate. i may have to check out gbread again now that netflix is out.

I love my phone, fast, awesome camera, used to have about 4-7 random reboots until i ran cm7, only problem is the GPS taking a long time to lock. Fastest phone ever. F- The sensation and iPhone.

I love mine as well. This one I have now has performed perfectly. And it is my phone of choice. Convergence baby!
With Dolphinhd as my browser and Launcherpro as my os (?), it rocks!
If you don't have a good one, do what it takes to get another one. You won't regret it if you get a good one.
I've complained loudly about the issues, but there is a reason I've stuck it out. Because this phone is the balls!

There is already a I love my G2X thread.
This is getting funny. Seriously. If you don't know why then don't worry about it.
By the way, I like my G2X but love my Sensation. Ill have an affair on my Sensation when the GSII gets here.

Not a story as much as it is a statement. Not a very good implementation of that worn out phrase you just used.
I highly doubt you would have even used the worn out phrase if I said I loved the G2X more than my Sensation.

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

What he said

I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

Should I swap SGS4G for G2X or Sensation 4G?

It's been a tough haul for me with Tmobile/Samsung Galaxy phones. I started with a Vibrant with its GPS problems. After two T-mobile Vibrant swap outs and various software updates that accomplished little, they swapped for a SGS4G.
The SGS4G was no better on GPS and T-mobile wouldn't swap to anything else.
I never had a data contract, just used wifi for data. Last week I jumped on the $30 unlimited data prepaid plan. Well it turns out my SGS4G won't get cell data, not on Froyo not on Gingerbread.
So T-mobile now offers me a swap for another SGS4G or a LG-G2X or a HTC Sensation 4G. I'm posting here in case anyone with SGS4G experience also has some with the other phones.
It seems to me that its obvious I should switch. Both the LG and HTC are dual core and the Samsung is not. HTC has already committed to ICS on it, and LG has at least said the no ICS for G2X rumor has no basis. We all know Samsung is incredibly slow at updates, and their certainly is skepticism in this forum that they will ever have ICS for the SGS4G.
As to which to switch to, I'm not sure. The ICS commitment by HTC is certainly a plus. After my experience with Samsung my main issues are:
-- A well working GPS
-- Timely software updates
-- A potent hacking community
Any comments to help me decide?

I'd say get the sensation, i would if i ever got the chance. This phone is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but i just like the sensation. Never had an lg so i have no clue what that phone brings. I got this phone not knowing about XDA and modding. Once i found out about those, i kinda regretted getting this phone, but now things are better since we have official gingerbread and a great community that's here to help. I'm getting off topic now, so to answer your question, I'd say the sensation. OR you can stick with this phone and see what the future brings.
Hope i helped.
Sent from my rockin' Galaxy S 4G using XDA Premium App

I definitely agree. Sensations commitment to ICS is good enough for me but the hardware facts just beat out the sgs 4g. I do like the sgs 4g screen and resolution tho. But other than that, get sensation. My mom (I'm only 17 so i haven't moved out ) has it and I've been able to play with it. Hands down just a better phone. And i regret getting the phone too. This is my first android and did me soooo much justice, but for Modding and rooting it just isn't exactly the best. Sensation all the way. Hope I helped
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Yea the sensation should be your choice..I bought this phone without the intention of rooting it or anything,also I lost my last one so i needed a phone quick..if i knew the info i know now,i would of had another phone like maybe the mytouch 4g..So yea in short make the switch,easy.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Samsung has neglected this phone in terms of updates. The Sensation is great if you want ICS, if that's not the biggest deal to you I'd get the Samsung Galaxy SII, as Samsung phones are well built, but with any Samsung phone don't expect an update within any timely manner.

I would get anything.g that could run CM. wink.

G2X since it initially has a better battery because of AOSP and it always will get any CM before Sensation.

Get a sensation and sell it and youll be able to buy the sgs4g or the g2x and have extra cash.

+1 me too.
oh and get the sensation. Even though I think you already knew that before you posted this thread just to make all of us jelous

I owned a g2x and it was bad. Very very bad. It was also the first batch of them. I hear they fixed a lot of the issues. I own a sgs4g and a sensation. The sensation has more options Rom and kernel wise. Speed wise my sgs4g with all its mods is just as fast. The sgs4g seems to have faster data speeds. The screen on the sgs4g is better. If custom roms and mods are what your after get the sensation. Performance wise a properly set up sgs4g may have a slight edge do to data speed. The sensation is confirmed to be getting ics as well a.d they are working on a port as well. Hope that helps.

G2x for a faster phone with a good screen and speakers.
Sensation for ROM's and Sense.
But you can't really go wrong with either one. Good luck.

I'm kicking myself. After they offered me the Sensation or G2X, I waited a week to make a choice and get past Thanksgiving. When I called back their database had changed and would only offer another SGS4G.
Apparently the database changes from time to time based on factors I can only guess. They said that at the moment for a Vibrant they had multiple choices.

That sucks. Big time.

Getting G2x Soon...my HD2 is slowly dying. Any help would be great

Well my 2 year old HD2 is finally dying a slow death of non responsive touchscreen and Tmobile has no more of them in stock. So they gave me a choice of HTC Radar and or G2x to replace it.. Can't say it was a hard choice.... Glad I kept my headset protection this long..
Anyway....
My question is what are some of the better custom roms around here and call recording enabled kernels? Any advise will be appreciated.

The radar was one of my most horrible choices of phones. The hardware and everything was good, cuz windows isn't fully there yet. Well depends what u want. Ics isn't fully yet stable. But enough for daily use. There's miui which is stable and a awesome rom

Wish they still made the hd2 anyways Hellfire pheonix 2.1 is very very stable. So is cm7. You have to wait till you get your g2x to find out what baseband you are running because the new baseband only works with one rom at the moment. If you get the new updated baseband, which I doubt you will because it just came out you have to downgrade in order to flash other roms out there

The HTC HD2 is one of the reasons why I'm never getting another HTC phone. I had one, the touch screen died on me 1 month after the warranty expired. It's a common issue with that phone. Never again HTC!!!

Getting this G2x is not worth it. If you wanna buy a new phone, just think of Nexus or Galaxy S2. We already bought this G2x, so we're stuck with it and hang on to it. If you still don't have one yet, think of something else
