Google maps always works best for me in big cities.

For me its been stock using Google navigation.

I'm fairly certain the application used is irrelevant, the GPS gets the same result no matter what. ROM might influence it, but I've never noticed a difference.
I vote for Google Maps in any case.

G2X as Desktop PC port Petition

Hey everyone. User, Lokifish, over on the Evo 4G forums ahs developed a way to use the Evo4g as a desktop PC. He fields requests to port his stuff as long as there is a desire for the technology in the new device's community. This thread is a petition I am starting to have this tech ported to the G2X. I know not everyone would use it but it would help me out a lot. Im sure there are other folks out here that would like it as well. Here is a link to his thread so you guys can see what he's done with it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038840 Personally, my g2x is more powerful than my little netbook and i would much rather use the g2x all the time than have to mess with my PC. so please support guys. I love CM7, love Faux's kernel. LOve all the work you all have been doing for our device. Please just drop your name. say you would be interested so I can get Lokifish to port. Thanks everyone and if this is misplaced I apologize. I think it would be cool at the very least. Thanks guys!

hell yes this would be sweet!

I 2nd this motion anyway to limit the use windows

Sweet!

Well if anyone can confirm this than i guess its a moot point. I already use LCD Density changer to give me mroe screen real estate. Would want to know if a pointer shows on the screen with BT mouse. Biggest thing would be implementing a windowed UI. that way we can switch apps quickly if using for desktop use.

That would be sweet. I am all for it.

Me.
I don't see which are the benefits of this over a PC at all.

I'm pretty sure CM7 supports all this already. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard at home, and a HDMI cable.
Essentially what you do is lower the DPI setting to give you a Desktop-like resolution, then on a monitor it runs just like a basic Linux distro. A good email and office application, browser, etc. Basic stuff.
(FYI-This kind of stuff is why I wanted a separate power/HDMI port)

My phone is hot

I was just doing normal stuff browsing this app and then my phone is getting really hot! Is my phone THAT old?

Take it on a date!
Check and see what processes are running and check your clock speed.

App that helps battery?

Are there any apps out there that LEGITIMATELY help save/prolong battery life? I have memory booster running but that just helps my phone run smoother by killing cached app processes. Anything you guys can recommend?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

This phone requires it's own nuclear power plant lol.
Seriously though, don't use memory boosters. They kill battery.
My setup is, CPU Tuner with timeriffic to set display brightness. With Maz's latest kernel I can get by... mind you I live in a very bad signal area (2 bars if I am lucky).
I set cpu to 216 when screen off with performance governor. Also I turn off data and Wi-Fi when screen turns off.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

I have mazs latest beta kernel as well. Don't really see a difference in battery life from his previous oc kernel. Ill try CPU tuner though

Sure, but be careful with it. I once it accidentally to low enough power to where I could not get out of screen off (kept going back to screen off). Also using one cpu does not work.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Does CPU tuner even work with a kernel that not over clockable?

Would, but only two cpu states will be accessible... fairly useless.
Edit: you need voltage states for intermediate voltages, then it should work. But I have never seen a non OC kernel with granular voltage definition.

Antutu battery saver is genius. on the pulldown notification it gives battery % (+battery added)
so like 100%((+30)
also clean master (which is a memory booster) doesn't run in background so it doesn't deplete battery as much as some others
Sent from my LG-P999

i installed android booster, but also procured a brand new stock battery, and i actually am enjoying about 50-60% increase in battery life... although it still is not a lot (as far as i'm concerned!) after draining it, recharging to 100%, and then calibrating, i went 7 hrs 47 mins from 100% to 50% with normal use - calling, texting, some video, some gaming. not to bad considering my old battery would only last about 3 hours or less with the same kind of usage!!!

Check out DS Battery saver. I use it on my N7, catch is, to save battery it turns off all wireless signals. It also forces the device into deep sleep as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

well i wouldn't want ALL wireless signals to be disrupted. How would i receive phone calls lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yea, if you get the paid version you can create custom profiles. It's a nice app for a tablet, but only so nice for a phone.

I have used it. Phone works (would be pointless otherwise as we already have the airplane mode).

I just started using "Auto3G" to turn off data and periodically cycle it on to check for emails, etc. I'm getting over 48 hours with mild use.

Latest CM7 with Trinity ELP kernel.

Haven't tried his elp kernel. Might give it a go!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm using Trinity ELP file "ELP-G2x-06022012.zip", which has worked best for me as my G2X doesn't work that well with faux-based kernels. I'm also running dual boot with Maz's awesome JB rom with hardware acceleration - this is where I install games and experimental apps.

V6 super charger worth it?

I've been reading a lot about v6 and I'm considering running the script ....but I've heard mixed reviews about it on cm roms. Anyone here have any input?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yes. Nandroid, install, try, revert.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

If i don't like it the only way to get rid of it is by restoring a nandroid backup?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

There's an unsupercharge option in the script

Yeah, but I prefer nandroid to make sure all traces are gone.
IMHO the phone is pretty snappy after Maz's kernel. I don't see a need to further charge it as it may explode
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Its snappy with his kernel i just like Modding/tweaking too much lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Well, its installed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

So its installed and running. Applications open and close much faster and may even be running a little smoother. However my homescreen is extremely glitchy and laggy lol. I'm going to play around with it and see if i can smooth things out. If not, ill restore the nandroid i made prior to running the script. Pretty cool little mod though to say the least.
Well it was a fun little experiment but the super charger did more harm than good. Apps executed quicker and seemed to run smoother but home screen navigation was extremely buggy/laggy and I even had the scrolling option in the super charger settings set to "fast." So I am now in the process of restoring my nandroid lol.
