G2x Lack of Support?

Getting mine in a couple of days.
Seem kind of weary. Is it because the G2x is new OR is it just not that popular?
Don't see much dev support on this device.
Anyone shed some light?

actually there are many top devs that have been starting to develop for this phone. Some are top Vibrant devs like morfic (kernels/ Team Whiskey i believe?), krylon (team whiskey as well/Bionix Roms), MT4G faux, cyanogen (CM7 Roms), and more devs are popping up. Google made this phone pretty easy to work with from what I understand.
these are just the big devs that i can think of off the top of my head.
Also we had one click root and Clockwork Recovery within 24 hours after G2x release. Source code was released within a few days after G2x release from LG as well instead of the normal 90 days.
now all we need is the Official Gingerbread from T-mobile to get us rocking even more

yeah g2x development got rocking pretty fast. very well orgainiazed in here as well.

Development doesn't come in full force overnight...

this ^^
the biggest hump we need to get over is our first big patch from LG/tmobile which will give us gingerbread (2.3.4 hopefully) and a new baseband with much better driver support...
all of the 2.3 builds are hampered a bit right now because of kernel issues or wonky drivers for the battery, bluetooth, light sensor, keyboard/touch sensor (spacebar deadzone), govenors for the kernel, ect... drivers are not easy for devs to build and optimize, thats more of a manufacturer job
for complete stability right now the Eagles Blood rom is hands down the best in my opinion but again its only 2.2...
I would really expect the update fairly soon, within weeks I am hoping and after that id imagine things will start to explode... faux is already taking great strides in a pure AOSP rom which will be a great base for future rom cookers to build off of

Tbh, I think development for this phone is great. I mean we have morfic and faux making kernals. We have CM. We have Krylon with Bionix and we also have Team Shockwave with EB. Development for this phone can only grow much bigger.

I think you have to be one of us ex-Vibrant users to really appriciate G2x development in its current state.

The support is incredible for this phone. I really can't see how it could be any better or more prolific, it's only been out for a month.

What are you talking about dude? This phone has been out for a month and it already has some of the most popular names in development. You are out of your damn mind.

I'll take quality over quantity any day. The people who are currently developing for the G2x are top notch. I've been very pleased with the progress of things

You think the vibrant was bad? Take a look at the at the epic's forum. They still only have like 4 stable roms.

Yea I think this thread is misleading. For a 3 month old phone there is TONS of dev work going on.
They are just getting the AOSP roms ironed out, which means smaller devs will have a good base to customize roms their way. We already have several Kang Developers as well as Faux, EB, Bionix and CM7. This is excluding the handful of custom kernels.
For 3 weeks I think we're doing hella good. I'm happy

Wasn't aware it has only been out a month. Not bad indeed!
Off thread topic, but is everyone just living with the LCD light bleed?
I'm not sure if sending it in for refurbs will really fix the underlying issue.
Does it really just become a game of "hope for the best one"?

did you get yours yet? i just got mine, 24 hours now, i have a little bit of bleed. kind of annoying at first, but its not nearly as bad as others so i'm letting it go. everything else about the phone is great. i have cm7 on it and its been really solid so far. each hour goes by i like the phone more.

Juat got mine about 7 hours ago. Running bionix 2. Miss the CM features....mine isn't too bad with the bleed...but just wondering what others felt about the issue...

At this point I feel like those who couldnt live with it are gone and everyone whos still in this forum isnt bothered . I still only ever thing of the bleeding when I hope on XDA and someone brings it up.

I just got this phone 3 days ago, and its my first with Tmo service. In comparison to ATT phones, except Cappy, Im super impressed by the attention from major devs. I have been waiting for this phone to release for awhile. Was advertised as quad band prelease, then found out release day that its not, so actually had to open tmo acct.
This is the first phone in a year that has made me leave my Cappy at home.

[Q] Droid Charge Roms

I want to know if I will be able to use a Samsung Fascinate rom (MIUI) on my Droid Charge. I dont live in a 4g area, so if the 4g didn't work, i wouldn't miss anything. Does anyone have any good rom recommendations aside from GummyCharged 1.9 (which i just installed)?

no, you cannot use a fascinate rom on the charge, its not as simple as 4g just wont work

That's what I figured... I really hoped that it would since MIUI isn't out for the charge.

I highly recommend Humble ROM. Wait till Friday though for the update with many good fixes. Humble is the best ROM imo currently for the Charge.

miui on lte phones wont be that easy as the miui developers have said since there is no 4g in china currently they wont be building into miui releases...therefore it has to be built in by devs here, which is i would think a monumental task...so it might be 3g only for awhile...but idk

Well I saw on Miui.us forums that a dev just got the droid charge, so hopefully we will see a miui rom here soon

when the omgb guys get aosp working at some point miui can use that as a starting point...my point was just that official miui will have no lte support for the near future

everyone should try out various roms on their own and find out...i dont have a charge but from what i can gather gummycharged is the most polished and many of the other roms use its frameworks and apks...so that should tell you something

Im using Gummcharged GBE 1.5, and I'm happier with it than I was with CM7 on my OG Droid. Its smooth, fast, and everything works.
I was on the debloated gingerbread leak for a week, but I just can't stand TW. I like the look of AOSP better, even if theres still a little TW mixed in.

I dunno man, I am on the GB leak running Eclipse and the TW experience isn't too bad @ all... Infact, I really like it!

Hey guys...Fascinate user switching over

So i should be getting my charge in on thursday. I am on my 4th fascinate and just cannot put up with this shut anymore. Missed called, mass storage failures, voicemail eff ups...ect.
So i just want to intruduce myself...hopefully rooting and flashing procedures go just about the same as the fassy...i have started to read up on it a little but will do more so tomorrow.
I am going to miss aosp cm7 and the glitch kernel(best kernel ever). Hopefully this phone wont give me as many hicups as my fascinate did.
CM7/Glitch ML 1.5ghz/Steel Blue tapatalkin

Also i have not done enough reading up yet. If i am stuck with touchwiz for now will my charge atleast have voodoo?
Also how would you guys compare this phone to a fascinate? I have heard it is just a slightly beefed ul version of it. Anyone having missed calls or mass storage issues with it?
CM7/Glitch ML 1.5ghz/Steel Blue tapatalkin

Another fascinate use, i am getting my charge tomorrow and am getting very excited seeing that many people from fascinate are coming to the charge. I have been reading and seeing what people are writing about the charge. It looks like Charge threads may start to take off like fascinate ones did.

It seems like with verizon letting fascinate owners upgrade to the charge for free without using an upgrade a lot of people are hopping on the band waggon. Hopefully the charge will get some aosp goodness in the near future

I've had my Charge for about a week now, coming from Fassy too.
Yes, we do have voodoo for Froyo Roms and ext4 for GB roms.

r2doesinc and xoomdev are gonna get started on OMFGB for the Charge. I PM'd him last wknd and he said that they had a couple loose end to tie up in respect to other devices. He wants to put his full attention into the charge and not have 20 different projects going. I dont think we are gonna have to wait as long as we did with the fassy for AOSP.
With that said, if you are coming from the fassy and were using either CM7 or OMFGB yhen I recommend going with Gummy Charge. Its really stripped down and gives the feel of AOSP.

I talked to R2Doesinc last night in IRC. I told him my charge was coming wednesday and i heard that OMFGB was coming to the charge. I said i ran it on the fascinate and loved it so i was so excited to hear it was coming to the charge. He said he was actually starting to work on it last night so i am hopeful it will be here very soon. But in the meantime i am going to follow GOS as he always gives good advice on what to use.

Have already been researching roms/kernels and im going to go with gummy charged and pb otb version. Is the pb otb version currently the only kernel that allows oc/uv?
CM7/Glitch ML 1.5ghz/Steel Blue tapatalkin

Hey guys, add me to the list of people jumping over from the Fascinate.
I am interested in a de-bloated ROM that stays pretty true to the stock build. Since this phone is brand new to me, I'd like to stick with a "mostly" OOTB experience, save rooting and de-crapifying.
What ROM/Kernel would be best for this? Sounds like GummyCharge is the winner at the moment.

Fassy Refugee here too. So far with 1 day of use I'm really liking the charge. It gets 4 3g bars where the fassy was lucky to get 1, also it is much snappier than the stock fassy i had to run for a week. I'm just hoping that cm7 and MIUI make it to the charge soon.I miss MIUI.....

I just got my charge today. Coming from fassy, so I like the fact that its pretty much the same set up. I haven't been on stock in so long I have a few questions. how to get the keyboard to capitalize the letter i automatically?
How do i add words to the dictionary when they pop up under suggestions?
How do i find out what's causing my internal storage to be almost full?
Thanks!

EE4 de-bloated is closest to stock. GummyCharged has alot of AOSP apps integrated in. If you like the TW experience go w/ debloated EE4

Another ex-Fassy user here too. ;D
So far,I'm loving my Charge. The screen is AMAAAAAAZING. D:
It puts my Fassy's screen to shame, lol. It's very crisp and vibrant. I don't have LTE in my area yet, but according to two different stores, we should be getting it sometime this week.

The charge is a beast, in my opinion. Then again, I came from an LG Versa, so even a Fassy or a G'z Commando...or OG Droid would be a beast.

I've never had a Fascinate but I help a lot of customers with theirs and I think the screen looks great. I don't know what you're talking about.
Also, welcome to Droid Charge City guys.
Everyone else can take their metal frames, quad scores and dual cores and shove em up their butt holes. I don't care if this phone is considered "last year's specs"; there is nothing boring about this stealthy ninja....I can't say the same for any other.
The physical shape of the phone is awesome too. It just looks COOL!!!
I wish I had some pull in this world so I could have Samsung build me an LTE GS2 in a Droid Charge body. Maybe Samsung will go the route of the Moto Droid and keep each of their "Droid" branded phones looking the same. That would be awesome. I would skip on the Function if I knew Samsung was building a Charge 2.
Also, TW all the way now. Embrace the colors capabilities of this screen. It has film-like quality. Samsung was the only phone manufacturer to get an "Outstanding" rating for their screens when it came to contrast...according to some standards organization.

Just got my charge in but I am having some problems activating it. Called customer service on my fassy but need another phone to call in. I am already sick of the puzzle piece unlock. I just want this phone activated so I can start rooting it already!

I know this is a silly question but did you get the sim card?

[Q} cyanogenmod?

Does anyone know if cyanogen will ever come to the charge? I've seen rumors and and some threads but nothing concrete

Development is for releases of ROMs/Kernels/Mods/etc not to start threads and ask questions. Also, I'm sure no one would mind if you started working on it yourself...

Since nobody wants to give you a straight up response, having been using a Fascinate from the beginning, based on that cycle, it is probably a year out if I had to guess. That's if people are actively working on it I suppose. We just now got it working well on the Fascinate...look at the Fascinate launch date, make a few assumptions, and do the math. Unless something huge happens I would expect it to be a long time, if ever. The one saving grace for this phone is probably its similarities to many other phones like the GalaxyS line and NexusS. Nobody knows when.

Likes the poster above me said, there's no definitive information. I'd say that's the worst thing about the Charge. Not the low RAM or the lack of official GB it's just not a huge scene. Look @ the Galaxy S2, not even released in the U.S. and it's already got Cyanogen. Kind of sad to see such a beautiful phone not getting the attention it deserves.

I'm not expecting much in the way of Charge development. I kind of knew when i got it as a replacement for the fascinate that it was a holdover till March (my 20 month upgrade eligibility). At least i got a better camera, front camera and LTE for real nice chatting video.

Galaxy S2 got Cyanogen first because Samsung sent a phone to one of the devs a few months back.

I love my Charge! Came from the Fascinate and had plenty of time to try out CM7. The GPS on the charge is lightning fast right out of the box, touchwiz camera and video player are by far the best available. CM7 definitely offers more control, but the TW camera alone is enough to make me stay.

While true, that should make everyone feel even worse about the dev scene for our phone (that the manufacturer cares enough to get dev for one of their phones but not the one we have).
That said, I've never had a phone with CM. I'm completely happy with the stuff put out by Danalo, Nitro, and I'm sure I'll like kejar's stuff whenever I try it out.

I can tell you when CM7 for the Fascinate got stable and MMS finally got fixed, o tried it out, and compared to all the other Touchwiz based roms, its ridiculously fast. The BML/MTD implementation is above and beyond any TW deodexed, debloated, voodoo ext4 type of rom. That's not to discredit those roms, but a stable CM build with a good kernel literally turned my Fascinate into a whole new device more than a year into its life.

How soon for ICS on Charge

To all those super developers out there.
Assuming that Ice Cream Sandwich is running on a suped up Galaxy S2 for Verizon, with LTE. How fast do you think you guys will get it over to the Charge?
Also, I have never bought any of that team Black Hat stuff, but if you could get me ICS a month after release, I would be more than happy to pay you for it.
Many of you are younger guys, and you seem to work for charity, but why? Business is business, if you've got something people want, consider charging for it.
I'm sure some people are reading this thinking I am nuts, but if these guys charged for roms, they would have more time to put into it. In some respects I am just saying what everyone already know, you get what you pay for.
Thank you to the entire dev community. Keep up the good work.

are you talking about the complete system dump of ICS as a stock rom? or custom rom like Gummy/Humble using it as a base? If it's the first option it could take a while longer... though it kinda makes me wonder if VZ is holding out on GB for us to get ICS to our phones, it seems kinda pointless to upgrade us to GB then this magical new build ICS comes out a month later

This would be my guess unfortunately. Of course I have no evidence or reasons to support my belief, but its my guess nonetheless

If the charge does get ics i highly doubt it will be before summer of 2012. To be honest i wouldn't even count on that though. At least going by there current track record of verizon and sammy. But only time will tell.
I just really hope that these top end phones will start keeping up with current android builds. the fascinate was on eclair when gb was released and now the charge is on froyo and ics is about to be released.

well isn't ICS supposed to be like the universal android build for all devices? you'd think they'd wanna push it out to all (perhaps more recent ones) android smartphones
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

idk but i hope your right anoninja. It would be nice to see.

I'm counting on JT getting CM7 finished and pulled into the CM mainline. Hopefully that will eventually lead to some ICS goodness in CM8.
