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.
You guys think development will ever rise up for this phone? I'm thinking of trading my myTouch 4G for this thing because I love AMOLED and the hardware quality of the SGS series. But with the development of the MT4G booming I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger.
Anyone regretting getting the SGS4G as supposed to a Vibrant with it's booming development?
Its coming up fast. New Rom's and themes are popping up almost daily now. Choices of modems, kernels, tweaks, etc....
Imo, grab it up! Its gonna be a fun ride and you'll have the chance to be in the front seat
This phone is lightning fast, download speeds are out of this world, and the development, yet still young, is going to take off like a rocket....and I think soon.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping man. Just that I've been so used to GB these past couple months I'm a bit weary to go back to 2.2, hopefully ext4 kernels will come to this phone soon so that GB ROM's will work on this phone. I'm one of the 10 people in this world that actually like TWiz, lol. So I hope GB TWiz can come soon.
I still think this is a great phone and yeah the screen is pure awesome. As long as you know what you are getting in to, and you want the features the sgs4g offers you should go for it. This is a pretty great community starting up around here and lots of mods and things already available. We will have gb eventually (might be a while but hey) and if its twiz you like--thanks to Whitehawkx--we even have a port of twiz 4.0 from the galaxy s2 available!

do it. the galaxy series is in my opinion still one of the best phones out. i wouldnt trade it for anything else that doesnt have super amoled. i want to get the sensation but im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to stand the lcd screen after using super amoled. (off topic)
but yes, I would defintely say make the trade. Only thing I hate is not having a flash.

Yeah. I love my myTouch 4G. Has everything and I do love Flash. But I just like Samsung's build quality better. I'm one of the 5 people in the world that prefers plastic over the myTouch's metal, lol.

the SGS4G supports adobe flash; it doesn't have a physical flash for the camera. while the "night mode" really does do an excellent job, there have been times i've wished for an actual flash.
my GPS works near-flawlessly. personally, i feel the hardware is so superior to the mT4G that the (current) fewer ROM options is a worthy price. super AMOLED is every bit as spectacular as advertised.

Has the 1GB of internal memory ever affected you? I'm worried about that because I have about 70 apps installed and still have about 500mb's free on my MT4G, so I don't wanna have to go back to the G1 days where I have to worry about apps2SD. I know it's a problem with stock GS4G ROM's. But do the rooted ROM's create more internal memory?

i haven't run into any issues. froyo allows the moving of apps to the SD. some apps themselves don't support it, but not enough that i've come close to running into the limit. i have around thirty apps installed, though... so your methods may vary.

I'm making the same jump from a mytouch 4g to this simply because my LED flash burned out and this is my 3rd replacement so I'm just ditching it I want something different. At least with this phone I won't have to worry about the flash burning simply because... there is no flash
But in all honesty I hope that this phone can keep up with the speed of my mytouch 4g. I'm going to miss gingerbread but hopefully this phone will get it soon! The screen looks amazing on youtube, I might walk into tmobile and see how I like this phone. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
If speed and responsiveness are your main concerns let me tell you...this phone flys. And lots of tweaks to make it even snappier. Of all the things you might worry about on the sgs4g--speed is not one of those things lol.

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.

Shame on me.
2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...
I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...
I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..
Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!
Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...
Netflix works fine on the latest Gingerbread update for Inspire. I don't know about google videos.
netflix works fine..

yea - no disagreement here.
And just realized I missed your question about the stability of the GB update - I hadn't heard anything about it being unstable. I'm currently running virtuous unity v 1.33 (GB 2.3.4), which is in Beta, and seems incredibly stable to me. There are other GB ROMs that have been out for a WHILE that are also incredibly stable. If you're already running stock rooted, then you have root and guessing you're s-off, why not flash a custom GB ROM?
Oh no i meant the OFFICIAL one... I tried various roms and the only one I feel confortable with on the Inspire is the stock with sense and stock radio... So when I heard about the official GB update I was very happy... instead it's full of major bugs.. shame.
I will wait till they fix the update and somebody cooks the original rom... I'm not really a Sense fan but it performs very well on their devices...

Shame on me.
2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...
I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...
I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..
Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!
Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...

It was about 3 weeks ago / a month... Well honestly I really wanted to try the NS and when I red the news on the home page of google I ran to Bbuy... Only thing I wasted an upgrade and a contract extension for 2 years with ATT -_-'

Yes I noticed... I was reading the 62 pages of your thread and you are a damn rock... they threw anything at you ... I'm at page 18, it's quite gripping, better than hbo series lol... XD
BTW I'm gonna download it and report my opinion... I'm hard to change ROM and get too far from the stock/ish ones and this seems what i was looking for..
Anyho... I will keep reading... If you need some customized graphic I'm a (decent) designer... LMK.
Its kind of upsetting/depressing that almost every other high end Android device had at least one ICS ROM. I hope the wait is worth it :/

I think it will be considering the great progress some of these guys are making. Besides we will have(most likely) multiple Roms, before LG even thinks about the OTA.
Lol I know even nexus one is running ics, NVIDIA is a joke, the sad part it no one want to buy this phone either.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Depressed about a software update for a phone? Really?
What are you trying to do that can not be done with gingerbread? Maybe someone can help you.

The Nexus One was destined for high end development anyways...But even the freaking HD2 now has ICS. Now thats ridiculous
But yah, ICS really has nothing to be depressed over. Except for the hardware acceleration capability...now CM9 is a whole other thing. But i'm sure CM9 will be available way before LG drops the major update.
I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.

I don't think there will be any official ICS from LG or Tmo considering the g2x is already discontinued.

Looks that way huh. Well it is LG we're talking about. I would rather a custom Rom anyway, but that's just me.

ICS sucks without CM. I ran ICS on my HD2 and switched back to CM7.2

must just be your HD2 because it runs well on my Vibrant.
Anyway, we will probably see ICS from LG at some point but that will be the last update this phone gets.

I can't lie so I tell them it should but there will definitely be a rom. I do direct them to the FAQ

I have ICS Passion 10.6 on my vibrant and its flawless and super fast. Still hoping I dont throw my g2x against the wall before before it finally gets it.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Before you smash the G2x, flash Phoenixblood rom + Faux latest cm kernel and let us all know how you feel about your G2x then lol
I think just about all of us are anticipating cm9 but i believe i have found the best cm7 experience with 0 flaws imo with PhoenixBlood rom
To me is not really about ics, its about how they treat us (g2x users) if it wasn't for cm7/cerqueira this phone would be nothing, im glad i got a good one but many people got ****ty phones and the only reason they did gb was because of the lawsuit. They don't want to give us a fish (updates) and they sure as hell don't want to teach us how to fish (drivers).
I for sure dont want nothing to do with lg/nvidia, had a chance to get 2 cheap LG tvs for xmas, went with another more expensive brand!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Well lets not be silly here. LG makes some bomb ass TV's and I wouldn't mind owning one at a good price. I just wouldn't buy another phone from them for obvious reasons, but that's completely different than TV's.

It ran fine without any bug and everything working. It sucks because there is no CM Settings menu.....thats where most of the feature that I use daily are located. losing all those features to gain better new looks is pointless.
I like this phone but, because of the lack of support for it, not LG, NVIDIA and Google. Although it's blasphemy stating this on an Android focused website forum, because of the total messup with this phone, except for the devotion of independent developers and others who support/supported this phone, I will not be buying anything with NVIDIA in it, made by LG, and probably not Android. I am going to seriously consider phones which run the new Windows OS and the iPhone 5 when it comes out.
