Has anybody else realized that development has gone back up on the G2x! Maybe our phone hasn't been abandoned after all! Development was quiet in September, but October has been crazy! A2DP on CM7, along with the APN fix. All of you developers out there are amazing. Thanks for all of your hard work!

agreed, and it should only get busier when ICS is released.

I agree, and couldn't be happier with CM7 finally becoming stable! Ice Cream Sandwich should bring a ton of ROMs and kernels our way and get the developers thinking about us again.

My friend got me into flashing my rom & now I am a flashaholic! Keep the roms coming for G2x and if anyone can bump the camera to 12MP back & 2MP front that would be awesome cause that's what Tegra 2 supports to.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Uh.... you can't jump "bump" the megapixels up. The hardware has to support it. And as far as we all know, the G2x has an 8 megapixel camera. The only phone that I'm aware of with a good 12 megapixel camera is the Nokia N8. I think that's actually the only "mainstream" phone with a megapixel count that high.

And Megapixels aren't even important, it all has to do with the camera sensor.
I think the G2x has a sweet cam. I get compliments all the time. I also take lots of shots in dark places and typically come out better then expected.
And the Dev section was never abandoned. I think the Sensation hype is over and lots of people have returned back to the G2x (told ya so). There are tons of Roms ranging from Custom Stock builds, CM7-Kangs, and MIUI builds.

Agreed. The only issue I have is no auto focus (for video), making it hard to take any close-up shots in video mode. I finally have a great camera to record with, but no close ups of text (which sucks if you're doing reviews).
As for development, i'm glad to see it. I've been rooted for a month but haven't tried any ROMs yet because while I may love testing software out on my computer, testing out ROMs on my life support (aka, smartphone) i'm a little more cautious. I gotta get over that fear. Been leaning towards Weapon G2x and the new CM7 stable release. Just gotta find somewhere to get that extra push
Always had buyers remorse ever since day one. Still did when the whole reboot issue just exploded.
Also figured out this device even with all its fault, is still great. I am glad that device ironed out all the bugs and fixes. Still, the phone was great overall and got back to CM7.
The one thing I miss is myTouch 4G stability. That was my previous phone. This one is getting there. Glad development is alive and well.
Yea BOY! The G2X is alive!
Its even more active now with all the ports. Someone is even porting LG optimus 2x layout.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I recently got into flashing ROMs, and it's been awesome. I tried a few, and settled with Weapon. It's freaking awesome.
I think the G2x has more advantages than most of the recently released phones. It's got an awesome speakerphone, screen is not so big that it draws a lot of batt., but not small either, all the ROM devs making stable, mature ROMs to choose from, and I'm getting some amazing battery life (at idle, about 1.5% drop, per hour).
Keep up the good work guys!
It's ALIVE

ok guys just what we been waiting for gb....
to bad it doesn't have more stuff i was really hoping for power control on the notification...
and i have a few questions..
can i root with superoneclick or easy root with mac?
now the gb is out i know the devs are gonna get to work on it.
for those that updated have you notice there is no camera app?????
there is a camera app, just that it's stock rather than lg's.
no really the stock camera app is missing its not there. i did a factory reset and still is not there.. would have to use another app from the market
that's weird. it's there for me. i did a hard reset after i flashed...
ok well i was thinking about that but like i cant root after the update i didnt wanted to lose all my apps from titanium backup lol
Aw man we don't have that cool animation when you lock the phone

The CRT screen on/off effect? Probably can enable it like we did pre-CM7 building it in.

I really hope GB and new drivers fix the issues people are having.
I'm stoked for this. Now our custom ROMs can be optimized using proper drivers and what not. This should help development a **** ton.

It's the same Kernel as the Froyo Kernel, can't be the final release, if it is I'm done with my G2X and will be moving to the Sensation. This release doesn't even have the LG camera how can it be the final build?
Its an update isn't that what everyone wanted, now we know that were making progress, that LG hasn't completely abandoned us, and now all custom roms are gonna be that much better, this is a great day for all g2x users everywhere, and it has only just begun.

I don't really care about the GB update. I already have that running the CM nightlies. I want a stable and working phone. One I can depend on to make calls day in and day out. One that gets the same battery life day in and day out. I want the LG drivers to make everything function properly. Mad props to the CM guys for doing what LG has failed to do so far, but now it is time for LG to deliver a REAL working, bug free update so we can experience the phone we are supposed to have.
I've been wondering if I should switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide. I like the g2x but its been causing problems ... not to mention the horrible battery life
Ive always liked the mytouch brand and I believe the new slide is dual 1.2ghz Processer.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
If you like the mytouch better then yes you should switch. Why keep a phone if you don't want it?
G2X CM7
I don't really think there's a reason to have a physical keyboard anymore unless your a female with long nails. A keyboard just adds more bulk to the phone. In the end, your going to have to figure out which phone suites your needs better.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It's not that I don't want the g2x. Its just too many problems you know? And an actual keyboard comes in handy sometimes. I'll do come more research on it, I don't thing the new slide is that thick. I could be wrong.
What I really want is my iPhone 4 back.. I was usingg it for almost a year and then it took a dive in the lake.. now it boots up to the iTunes logo if I have it plugged in but then halfway through a restore, I know its not totally fried cuz then it wouldn't even turn on.

I don't know. Each blog I've read states something different but now that the device is close to being released, none of them are speculating. Everything spec wise is just a rumor at this point. I asked my step father who sometimes knows these things but he didn't know. He said he would ask someone who might though. He did tell me that Samsung would be releasing the phone on every carrier on the same day or atleast that's what they want to do.
In my opinion, I think every GSII variant in the US will have the Exynos CPU. I would think they want each region to have the same CPU.
The battery cover on that Hercules looms like its brushed metal.

Heh if only we could get a kernel. Sadly there will not be one until sammy releases an offical GB which I hear could be happening beginning next year. When it comes to placing blame its not so much Samsung at fault here. I mean there seems to be a new leak at least once a week here so its not like they aren't working on it. If fault should be placed anywhere its with Tmobile who pretty much doesn't give a fck if you have GB on your phone. They've pretty much taken the, if its not broke don't update it approach.
Well at least he didn't swear at the devs this time.

Thats what I've been wondering actually.
I've only had an android since like march, rooted it within a couple months just so I could delete bloatware, but only really got into flashing and stuff about a month ago. So what's so great about miui that everyone keeps bringing it up? Surely it can't really be any better than whats already available to us.
@scoop_dtx, @95Z28
AFAIK its a ROM that gets official with the MIUI people and receives OTA updates each times a new version is available. Just like CM7. I think.

Yeah, supposedly, it's on par with CM7 now.
As someone who has been running MIUI since April, there are many advantages to using MIUI over other AOSP ROM's.
First, I love the fact that it gets updated weekly. Having to flash nightlies like with CM7 can be a hassle. Once a week works perfect for me and they are constantly making it better and the user interface just works.
Second, look @ this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990233 There are a few thousand posts to look through to see how you can customize MIUI. You can literally customize every single aspect of the ROM to your liking and I wouldn't want to have my phone any other way.
MIUI has been my daily driver for the better part of the last year and I don't plan on looking back unless something else truly mindblowing comes along.

Actually, with AT&T already giving the Vivid the ICS update, I'd say that this could be pretty realistic.
At least we know if it doesn't come soon, it's not AT&T, it's Samsung.
ICS has not been released for the Vivid. That is someone talking out of turn (a dedicated tester or volunteer tester). That realease would be all over Android Central and our website.

It gives you a notification saying you have an update available, if you want to install it or not, is your choice.
Sometimes you'll even get a text informing you that your phone has an update available.
Another question for the updates, is it only for carrier sold phones? I bought mine at the US but I'm at Israel and I still haven't received the 2.3.6 update.
Very good news, will open development of some nice ROM's. Maybe it will keep me from flashing once or twice a week.
I doubt it. We'll see though, hopefully they surprise.

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?
This is coming from an Android noob btw, so if there was extra features besides the FaceUnlock *useless imo* and sleek UI please enlighten me.

The real benefit will be the Kernel getting into the hands of the Devs. In time, they will do many thing with it including a non-Touchwiz version ROM.

From what I understand ICS is completely redone. There are alot of new code and things done different from previous versions of Android. I can understand why nothing has really been released yet. I know there is a couple versions of ICS over in the development section but there are very few things that work.

I use Hellfire pheonix with Trinity 1500mhz kernal. Its a monster now. Having stock is a bummer for any device. Some hate bulky sense. Some hate the ugly moto blur. Many get bored of touchwiz and that's just ui. Once you free your device it's a matter of hardware and manufacturers willingness to cough up source. LG is stingy with source but that hasn't stopped the devs. We still get good stuff. Thank them! Look at the hardware and decide based on that is my opinion. (If you plan on flashing roms that is)
"I'm just a hat tryin to get ahead"-whozilla.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I would advise you to keep it simply because you will not get much in return for it. In fact, LG has officially discontinued the G2x and Tmo has sent out an internal message that they will no longer sell or support this phone. In addition, current customers will not be given any refunds. Exchanges for the G2x will ONLY be the My Touch 4g -which LG claims is comparable. I do not see the My Touch 4g being worth it. However, as you will likely hear from others in the forum, with the right ROM (and that means different things to different people), the G2x is still a fantastic phone. Most GB based roms are running very smoothly and there are a few ICS roms running pretty well that are still being tweaked. I'm pretty satisfied with mine since I rooted it.....best of luck to you thought!
There are some better phones, but it's a good phone for it's price. You can't ask too much for a $200 phone, but it works like a $300 or even $400 one
Thanks everyone for replying, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't hardware that made the g2x suck. I agree I do like sense and am currently running a sense rom. I am also debating my touch 4G slide. Both are around the same price.

If your gonna choose tmobile the g2x is a hell of a good phone, even better when rooted and custom rom'd from xda!
The one gripe i only ever had was it coulda used at least 1gb of ram which would have future proofed it till at least the g4x/ one s came thru, still thats a minor complaint and i still love owning my g2x as a backup phone. Dont think ill ever sell it just cuz it is too beast of a phone to get rid of and my kids also cant get enough of it lol

It's alright, could be better though. If you're looking for a 100% reliable phone, then this one might not be for you.
I previously had the Nexus S which on paper is inferior to this phone. That being said, this phone in reality is buggy, I have had issues with it on multiple ROMs, the camera pictures are quite poor, and the battery drains quite fast (not overclocked)
The good is the 4G which I enjoy the faster speeds, and even though the camera is disappointing the video makes up for it.
This is my opinion, hope it helps.
I liked the phone so much, I bought a second used for dirt cheap on cowboom.com. This phone is a beast that T-Moble and LG failed to work right. It's dualcore with sufficient memory. It has a Tegra 2 chip making gaming a reality with games like GTAIII and Zen Pinball. It does hdmi out with ease. All this in a sleek body with a decent screen. Any popular GB ROM is a go on this device. The only thing that could make it better is quadcore, 1GB RAM, and Tegra 3. Here's to G4X!

could you elaborate on what kind or problems? What kind of battery life do you get?

Camera sucks on stock sir, due to bad focus options and such. (Cm7) Hellfire Phoenix... touch focus... not too shabby. Here is a quick snap. Its loads better now.

This phone isn't bad, its pretty fast actually. But if you get this phone, you HAVE to root and install a custom rom, everything stock on the phone is boring.
