Wanted to know if there will be a forum started for the LG Optimus S. Have it rooted, and wanted to know if any devs will do work to get recovery working and start developing ROMs.
This would be Fantastic! Phones have gotten so big lately so the size, the 2.2 & the features along with the build quality have this at the top of my list for Cyber Monday. A modest speed increase would make this thing dreamy. I would love to get that file from you if you don't mind. I could do with out the recovery for now as it would still let me tether.

It took me few tries but got it to stick eventually. The link is http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s/43108-how-root-lg-optimus-s.html
great thanks! Rooted LG Optimus S is a reality a day after its released!
Oh this is cool! I just saw it in the store yesterday and it feels like a really solid phone. I hate that it doesn't have a hardware "d-pad", but I might be able to look past it given how smooth it operates. Now that it's rooted... awesome!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/16/lg-optimus-one-hits-million-mark-its-fastest-selling-phone-ever/
Seems like it might be worth giving it its own subforum.
Is that the same phone? The button layout is different...
Just flashed recovery image thats working. If anyone here is interested the link is http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-s/219777-need-dump-build-recovery.html
Doesn't seem to many developers here at xda are to much up on working on this particular phone at the moment. Hopefully they do, it is a great little phone that far exceeded my expectations.

Hey guys I rooted my Optimus S and flashed this from android central. http://www.mediafire.com/?9cca3y42qjqcsnf and for Sprint Apps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12856751/spint-apps.zip . Then I ran a full benchmark test I got it to 992.
I hope this helps.

I take it the Optimus S is the same as the X2 (Dual Core Tegra)
If so, then Im the same. I plan on buying this phone next month (released end of Jan in the UK)...finally replacing my HTC HD2...but wouldnt buy it if there is no intrested from the Devs at XDA.
So whats the plan? Is the LG good enough for its own forum here?
Hell Yes it is. I hope they update us to GB(android 2.3) sometime soon

Absolutely not the same phone. The LG Optimus 2x is going to be the worlds first dual core processor. The screen is a 4" screen, camera is better, full HDMI out. The Optimus S/T is a great phone at a great price, but in my opinion it wuold be a downgrade from your HD2. I would suggest waiting for the Optimus 2x. That's going to be an amazing phone. I am sure it will get it's own forum.
Blame LG for not having a little bit of creativity. Come on, they have 4 widely different phones all named optimus. I think the Optimus 2x should be called the Megatron 2x!
It will still be nice if the Optimus had its category.
Sorry for my English language.
My question is: is there somebody who can help me in providing a modified kernel and recovery custom for my LG Optimus Chic because I want overclocking my phone. I have already used the guides about LG optimus One P 500 but they are not successful.
thanks for every answer.
I've the same problem, on my girlfriend phone !
help please
Chic has just come out so I'll guess it will take a bit of time for ROMs to come out.
Hardware is almost identical to Optimus One so in theory, shouldn't be too hard to create ROMs. But One is much more popular, at least now, but could continue to be.
I bought my Chic knowing the above. Just have to be patient I guess. Hopefully the full lineup of Optimus phones will be supported by the forthcoming ROMs.
Now if I could just unlock this thing for free or cheap.
Thank you, mikereidis for your kind answer. Now the only solutions is waiting for the new ROMs. Bye.

hi,
What is better choice 3d or 2x? or where is better support....
lets see what ppl say about this....
2x has a bigger community, much more roms to choose from and is generally better supported. If you don't need 3D and you can live with a smaller screen and slightly lower performance you can buy 2x a fair bit cheaper than O3D. Also, LG confirmed that 2x will receive official ICS.
I think LG made the same commitment for the O3D regarding Ice Cream Sandwich, so that's no issue
I agree with the rest of your post though, if you want the latest and fastest and are interested in playing and recording 3D content, get the O3D. Otherwise, get the 2X which is cheaper and more supported by third parties, though I hope that with the update to Gingerbread starting to roll out more parties will be interested to make roms for the O3D.
Or wait and get a quadcore based phone next year
Besides hardware and specs... its a question of do you want your cake now or later? 2x has more roms and stuff but look at how much the O3D and Thrill forums are blowing up. Things are coming along here and soon we will have just as much as everyone else. Also I think most of the roms for this phone are pretty well put together. You might have a lot more rom choices right now on another phone but how many of them are even worth flashing? O3D and Thrill are just getting off the ground and have some pretty new tech in them and we already have a good amount of roms and now kernels are being brought out. We are going to be one of the first to get CM9 and once everything for this phone is figured out I am sure it will blow the 2x and many other phones away.

Well spoken.

Optimus 2X has the Harmony Tegra2 Chipset.
There's NO support whatsoever from NVIDIA for that chipset.
There's NO open source drivers for that chipset.
There's serious doubts about the possibility of implementing ICS on Harmony without the binary blob from NVIDIA.
On the other hand, TI releases all their code for the OMAP platform.
It's an ideological reason, but for me (and for the medium/long-term implications) I choose the open option.
@Beriaru
Can I conclude from your post above that the Optimus 3D (aka P920) would be a better option due to having a more open source policy regarding the drivers?
I am having the same question as the OP of this thread. LG is giving 100 EUR mone back for buying this phone, which puts it at a very competitive price range.
I would like to ask if the P920 has:
1) Unlocked bootloader
2) Will it support ICS?
How is the battery life on it? I have an HD2 running NAND Android and I would like to know if it would be as good, better or worst in your opinion. (I understand it has to do with the way we use it, but for normal use (some phone calls, sms, music and light web surfing).
Thank you all for your help.

Good man, another one who came from the HD2 side! I also had an HD2 and was heavy into flashing and playing with it, running Android NAND most of the time, GB 2.3.7 so I think my opinion here is about the most accurate you might get.
If I use my O3D the same as I did the HD2 it would last pretty much the same, with light web surfing, chatting most of the day, a few phone call here and there. The HD2 had a much longer standby time though due to the ROM I was using having a 6ma draw when Idle. The optimus is not quite there yet.
So comparing the upgrade in hardware with a very slighly less battery life, I'd say the optimus sticks to the HD2 pretty well (battery life wise)
Here, have a look at the state of development of CM9 for O3D and O2X:
https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts/KycR8ZjeUiS
Thanks Willievi (+1) for that information. I am getting 4mah wit my current HD2 ROM, so I am quite pleased with that. I think that once this phone gets gingerbread and hopefully ICS the battery life (at least in standby) should be improved considerably.
Do you find it in any way slow, or are you reasonably happy with it?
@Beriaru
Thank you very much for that link to googleplus. It is always nice to see a fellow Portuguese (at least the name suggests that), is working on this phone.

Too bad for nvidia... great chip, but closed source.
Hi everyone , First of all let me put some light on my problem.
About a month ago I sold mine SGS I9000 and i had a choice LG P920m or SGS 2.
Unfortunatly I've bought myself LG Optimus 3D and guess what ,there is no roms for
that nice piece of phone.I like O3d but i'm addicted of flashing new roms every two days.Can somebody explain to me why this nice dual-core phone doesn't have any support from XDA developers.For example sgs has a lot roms based on ICS and the SGS is much "weaker" than LG P920.
Well now I know that buying O3D was a mistake because there's no support from developers and i have to sell it.
The Question is why there's no support for such a nice phone?
If you check the O3D forum here at xda you'll find at least five different roms listed in there. Its not as well supported as more popular devices but it is still supported.

3D phone ... we dont even consider HTC a 3D phone. There are many better phones (non 3D) than O3D but not EVO 3D
Being 3D frame work not open custom development with 3D is not at the highest level and LG firmware have issues.
People are experimenting with firmware of 3Dmax which have basically the same hardware to work on our O3D. If successful you will be holding in your hands one sweet piece of technology.

As cool_recep pointed out already lots of issues with LG's O3D. Good that you're doing research before buying that's what I do myself. But when the phone is just launched there isn't much information one can get. So i was suckered into buying Nokia N900 and recently O3D.
If i had waited few months like you have done, i wouldn't have made one of the biggest mistakes ever in my electronic purchases in 40 years, of buying this good piece of hardware but with the worst software support and bugs.
So a friendly advice wait just a few more weeks/months to see how the new 3Dmax is doing and if you really want a 3D phone buy it. I wouldn't ever suggest an LG phone ever. Even if it's the last company left making mobile phones i would just keep using my old phone instead of buying anything from LG. This company ignored the whole community of O3D owners for 4 months of constant complaining before even acknowledging that there was some prob like Ghost call on O3D.
Apart from ghost calls issue im happy with my O3D.

For 3D capability alone, LG wins hands DOWN! HTCs was headache-inducing. If 3D isn't the primary purpose though, something else may be better.

Yeah I do know what you mean buut i also learnt from my mistakes... I've recently bought a samsung galaxy s plus without doing any research about it and i've got to say that i'm deeply dissapointed with the lack of software development available... Not even CM7, CM9 or Miui yet...
Though i appreciate the efforts of xda's devs who are trying to port it...
O3D is better than evo for sure!

Answering only your title question "Best 3D phone: LG or HTC?", there is absolutely no doubt that the LG is by far the best on 3D.
The HTC 3D is a joke in comparison.
I've had a LG P920 since just after release date and have been disappointed until recently. My phone always used to restart at random times when it wasn't being used, performance is a little poor compared to other devices I've had and apps have a knack of either freezing or not working such as the camera. The amount of times I missed a photo opportunity because the stupid camera won't take a picture when I press the button to take a picture. This also causes a problem when I want to use the LED flash as a torch as sometimes the flash just won't turn on.
I went for the LG because it had a slightly better camera on it and as I wanted the phone primarily to take 3D photos and videos it was the better option (I regret it now). I've also found the LG lacks 3D content on it where as the HTC I think has a film download app included on the phone.
So I would recommend not getting a 3D phone, wait for the next generation of 3D phones :
Lg optimus 3d hardware is beeter than evo 3D by far.

Thanks for your replies everyone!!!
I wasn't aware of all these issues with the LG... it's a shame coz from my reasearch it seems to have better 3D capability than the HTC, however, that's not worth much if it keeps letting you down...
btw, are there any news of any upcoming 3D phones (or this so-called next generation)?
That would be really great and I'm aware theres a second model from LG coming out soon, the P720, but not sure when or whether it's really worth waiting; from the specs it seems the only thing improved was the CPU from 1000mhz to 1200mhz...
Maybe it will improve on the issues mentioned by FC360 of features constantly crashing...
All feedback is welcome!
Thanks
o3d's/thrill's hardware is one of the best in dual cores !!
it is the best portable media player i've owned, plays every media file you throw at it !
hdmi out is excellent !
almost everyone complains about the ghost calls/messages, but till now i didnt have a single issue with it (v21d baseband) !
it is just the lack of software support that pulls the optimus 3d back !
but ics has been officially confirmed by lg for the optimus 3d !
even we may get ics when it is released for 3d max
which would be much much earlier than the one lg officially releases for the o3d !

More or less an opinion.
Granted; I've only owned the Optimus, but I've owned many other HTC phones before and many smartphones(apple, lg, samsung, etc)
This LG has satisfied me the most out of everyone I have ever had, why? The price. This phone cost me $200 and I get better performance than some people's $400 phones. If you are willing to pay the extra bit of money, hell, get a HTC. But for $200, the O3D is a great phone. I'm in no way denying the ghost call/ghost sms issue, but I personally haven't experienced it owning this phone since release and using stock roms for most of that time. it's got a decent camera, good 3D capability(despite that not being a remote selling point to me) fast processor, and good build quality. Something I noticed when I pickup up a Samsung device 3 times the cost of mine, is it felt so unbelievably cheap. LG has good build quality from my experience.
Not to say the HTC isn't a good phone, because I've liked every HTC phone I've had too, but for the price an O3D cannot be beat.
As for me with no problem with Ghost call etc, I'd go for O3D. If you have a problem with GB, then stick with Froyo.
I think Chainfire3D cannot use on ICS. If that the case, even if ICS release for O3D, I'll stay with current ROM.
I will tell you what i say to my customers.
If you like 3D its ok.
If you dont care about 3D and not gonna use it buy a Samsung.
Sent from my LG P-920 using ghost call method...
exept 3D , the O3D has good performance with custom roms in a common use
I owe an O3D, and im totally satisfied with the hardware (only custom ROM's can make it work properly and smooth) but if you check strictly the stats EVO got better,
1gb ram over 512
540 x 960 over 480 x 800
1.2ghz over 1ghz
But anyways the 3D world on O3D is way lot better
