I'm doubting about buying a LG 3D. I'm owning a ZTE Blade at the moment so it's a huge leap forward (I hope). I can get it for a good price (€230,-), but I'm not sure about the development of the phone. For example is there gonna be a MIUI rom for Optimus 3D? I like the design and the specs, but I'm unsure about the software. I will not use the 3D either, only for games. Please help me with my choice.
Btw. I'm also looking for LG 2X, there's miui for X2, but the rom development isn't super on that one either.

Cyanogen announced that they will be supporting the optimus 3d. And because Miui is based on CyanogenMod you can expect, that there will be Miui. You are right, there are more developers for phones like Galaxy S2, HTC EVO / Desire / Sensation. But we got couple of really friendly and good Devs up here. And with the help of Cyanogen and the Devs of this forum, i am pretty sure there will be some nice roms soon. BTW atm there are good roms already here but with froyo (Thiaiz, Acura, King3D, Fab(Waterbear) .....)
Hello,
If you are a rom freak then avoid the O3D and go for the HD2, SGS2, etc...
I own a HD2 and I tried almost all WM, Android, WP7 roms. But that was for pure IT pleasure geekness.
For every day use my stock O3D is far more efficient than most of HD2 roms (there is plenty of dev masters there) and that's why I'm keeping both...
So it mainly depends on what do you want to do with the phone.
But for 230€ that's a big bang for the buck.
true the o3d is an amazing piece of hardware. what we lack though is devs (no offense). I remember with the x10 when we had trully amazing devs like tripnraver who had ported MIUI on that phone both froyo and gb versions with custom kernels when the phone was stuck in eclair with locked bootloader. So if we had the right devs who ould develop a rom from scratch and not only modify-tweak our stock rom we would have alredy had MIUI running which by the way is one of the best roms i have ever seen...

Porting miui once cm is done is easy... the big part is someone finishing a cm build. Trip was bad with people but good developer...bottom line is those ports would not happen without a cm base... the really hard work is done by bringing cm... if we have good cm done... i could port it. I ported several roms to several phones... but need cm...

any news?
Is there some news about development ??
We need MIUI NOW !!!!
Despite I agree you with asking for MIUI, it's no help doing it like this.
I suggest, wait till stable release of CM7, then find a dev willing to help us.
I'll donate to him to get him so far... MIUI looks lovely ^^
I think what we need is not this rom or that, all the devs are great, but what we need is to build a rom from ground up, that is tailored to this phone and make use of more 3d engine, a rom that can would change from 2d to 3d by simply tilting the phone sideways, or back to 2d if held upright.
The development of this phone is dinosaurs years compared to some of it's equals.
Something new?? I'm impatient ! :-/

There are enough nice themes and apps to make you think you have sense installed..but i want the real thing...
I know i asked before but want to get more on this subject...after all its only a software launcher??
And since it seems the evo3d gets rooted next week or so, i really want to hear possibilities
Thanks!
Omg...
sense is not just a theme or a launcher, its a total change of android.
the evo 3d IS NOT the o3d so the rom from htc is more or less useless!
if you whant sense then sell your o3d and get an evo 3d and stop asking fkr a useless port.
youl'll see if somebody is bored enought to try a port but till then it's useless to open such a thread.

You said it. Sense is nice. So nice that its a selling point for me.
The optimus's cortex 9 and apparantly better 3d view are sexy as well. But the design of the phone sucks imo, doesnt have a notification led and the resolution is fair, but not great, also saw better 2d photos and videos on youtube coming from the evo3d.
So im having a hard time, like i also said in other topics^^
The evo3d gets root as well next week probaly, so you cant convince me with the custom roms, unless it can make the optimus run sense3.0.
Also its stopid that everyone here tries to get me to the optimus side, and at the evo3d forum everybody says their 3vo is better. I knew thiswould happen but it makes making descisions harder. Im glad some people saw both phones and at least now i know the optimus3d does got a better 3d screen.
You will see 2D more than 3D. Sense is a selling point for you so buy the HTC EVO 3D.

if sense is really a must have for you, you should buy the htc because it will take some MONTHS to port it to the o3d and maybe it would be still full of bugs.
you could make it yourself a little bit easyer to decide through a professional way:
first of all make a list of all the attributes of your favorite phone for e.g.
processingpower
ui
style
price
camera
display
storage
connectivity
community
support
battery
and so on
sort them by giving them points.
now choose wich phone gets what attributepoints.
and you'll see what phone has the most points!
if its to hard to decide between two attributes you can compare them to all the other attributes
i hope this will help you

He wants both and doesn't want to choose. Which will end in not buying one of them.
For all the noobs, 3d is just for bragging, don't worry about that, I end up playing the 3d games with low 3d settings... and i have the o3d, that said, i would love a sense ui but i think the developers should do it with the 2.3 !
Both phones are nice and fast, maybe battery is the most decisive aspect.
LG we want 2.3 !!!!
I would like to try Sense on the O3D. For me it isn't a choice between phone, but a choice between Sprint and AT&T. Sprint doesn't have service in my area so... That being said, I am only choosing this phone now instead of waiting for the next Nexus because I don't want to wait anymore, 3D gives bragging rights to non-geeky friends, and there is no guarantee the next Nexus device will come to AT&T. I trust that developers will create oodles of ROM's incuding Ice Cream Sandwich. I hope.

well in fact the o3d is faster than the evo 3d. the processor is a little bit faster and with the dualchannel it's much faster. all the test are showing, that the o3d ist even with 2.2 faster than all the other phones with 2.3

I agree with you. O3D with 2.2 is already faster than other 2.3 phones. Also the UI is very clean and useful. It actually got all the missing features from samsung touchwiz. For myself I am happy with it. I have used htc desire and aria as well, sense is good and useful, but use up too much resource. So unless a launcher is designed as a general launcher like golauncher, I would not have great hope in a ported launcher for specific brand. As there are specific codes within those launchers.

Hey guys,
I know that developing is in its early stages (doh, it came out yesterday haha), but I just wanted to let our beloved devs that we really really want to have a rom that is AOSP. Sense is a good eye candy, but I am sure that there are many of us in here that would like to get the maximum out of this beast of ours, and I think that AOSP android would give us all that.
Either that, or MIUI ROM - just something different than the Sense 3.0
I am also including a poll - to see if its just me with the desire of getting a non-sense rom ( and by that I mean AOSP, not just removed htc.sense and adding launcher pro ).
I love CyanogenMod as much as the next guy, but I remember that on my MT4G - the AOSP version used to run even better than the cm7.
I kinda liked Sense once I got it, but now I am getting tired of it - its just too much! I want a plain phone, that works like the hardware was meant to be.
I'm waiting for CM7
+1! would absolutely LOVE to see miui on my sensation!
I'm waiting for any ROM that is AOSP or atleast something different from sense.

MIUI would be wonderful!
I don't get the hype for MIUI. I have only seen it in videos but it looks pretty ugly to me. Why would you want to trade in Android OS for an iPhone wannabe?
I like MIUI because it was simple. I guess the biggest reason would be that it was just different. Another one would be that I liked the way some of their apps worked. Such as Miui music.
Honestly for the sensation I'd like to see all of the above. I get bored a lot and to alleviate that I tend to flash different roms often.
AOSP would be heaven, but I doubt that you'll beat kmobs to the punch.

not CM7 perse, but a good AOSP or AOSP based rom is needed to create MIUI. This is from the MIUI forums regarding a port to the Sensation.

Could be me... Voted for CM7
Former Nexus S user here.
AdamG cooked up some delicious OxygenROM for the NS. Supposedly one of his cohorts is porting Oxygen to the Sensation. Hopefully that makes it here because it was an incredibly fast and lightweight AOSP rom.
oh I can't wait for CM7 on my Sensation.... I like Miui too but not nearly as much as CM7. I really miss RoyalGinger that I had on my MT4G, I almost wish I'd of waited to buy my sensation until CM7 dropped for it.
Stupid request, wait and give devs the time they need for there awesome work for all of us.
By the way, c-mod is much more greater for every device because they're developing than stolen c-mod stuff modded by miui "devs".
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I haven't used cyanogenmod since cm5, and want that impressed with features. I'll sure many more have been added since then and hope to see it soon. Some of the plain aosp apps kind of suck vs the manufacture flavor though. hopefully the latest CM builds have many bulls info them. I do prefer vanilla ish (launcherpro) vs manufacture launchers though

Who whants to pay for developing sense 3.0 on Optimus 3d
yes i am willing to pay
Have to admit i do like sense myself and wouldnt mind it ported, The problem ive seen with sense 3 though is their are some graphic glitches that can be annoying not that this is a reason not to port.
I do not see many developers joining us unfortunately..perhaps the only reason that I will have to sell my mobile,I know there is no interest and I can not explain....
I am learning to dev when i do learn it i will port it for free so far i understand the basic structure of roms now i'll learn how to port hahaha it will be awhile though....

You do realize that this phone is brand new, it will be released to the US market at Aug 21th and the release in many places has been very low key specially since Samsung has gone all out for the SGS2 release.
Also about devs, CyanogenMod is under development for the O3D and going pretty fast, most things are already working (including 3D, EGL etc) once CM is out giving developers more control of the system etc it will become much more attractive and it will also have a larger user base after the US release.
What kind of development do you really want?
CWM is working on the device, ROOTing is no problem, Custom ROMs will come in droves as CM is available and with CM chances of hacks like overclocking, 1080p 3D recording etc are high ans as for sense it's not unlikely that it will be ported but it will take time.
i could wip a quick dirrty port up for you lot to try, if you really want one that bad. but i will warn you i will not be testing it myself before hand,

*The "experimental" stereoscopic support is for use with red/blue glasses, not the O3D style of 3D.
I found that this app is WAY too resource-hungry too... even after installing from stock with no other user apps. Uninstalled

Asked them a while back about supporting the O3D and others and they said that it will become available once the phones are out.
Looks like they started with the red/blue glasses for debugging, adding O3D support should be easy once everything works in red/blue 3D.
Of course it is resource hungry, it runs in 3D, 2D is so old school.

Hi5 for that..I thought more would come from the development community but nothing..they say LG files are hard to deal with..overallisappointed
Well, the Optimus 3D is not the most popular phone by LG. The Optimus Speed is much more commonly used by people.
I recently switched from the Speed to the 3D (exchanged by LG) and must say that I kind of expected the same variety in Roms as with my previously stated phones, right as you noticed, too. Currently there aren't that much devs on the O3D. But nevertheless they are doing a great job. Just try out the Roms and look which you like most. Currently I am using Thiaizos Rom and I must say I like it the most atm.
I think most people are just a little afraid of the 3D-technics in this phone and do not know if its good or not. And if you do not want the 3D, there are definatley better phones available right know (Mostly related to form factor, not hardware itself).
Additionaly LG is not the most famous smartphone producer...

The S2 is one of the if not the best android or phone out there and iv had the iphone 4s lol my o3d s2 and sensation are better than that S2 is awesome tho. some of the mods are soo cool.
for this device id love cm7 with 3d
The 3d features make this phone unique and i love it think the 3d games and vids are awesome.
i guess in the end ICS is coming out so hopefully will help our phone improve
What chance do ROM developers have if LG the hardware maker can not make a decent Gingerbread for this phone. I have personally went back to froyo after having freezing issues, Ghost calls and sms.
I got very close couple times to smashing this useless phone into pieces, I am reduced now to using my Iphone 4 again.
I agree with You guys. I had a S2 and it was great both with orig. firmware, miui and custom roms. Smooth as butter, and always working. Now I changed it for HTC Titan, and it also works great.
But O3D is another story.... Great idea, great hardware and ****ty software from the begining till now. GB is only marginaly faster but still buggy as hell.
I got info from the support that no GB updates are in the work for now. So we are stuck with v21a for qiute some time.
Also the devs are few and not very motivated (except Tiazo), and LG isn`t helping at all.
I realy don`t get it - it looks as if they are shooting themself in the foot???
I think this is my last LG ever! Even thou I have a great 2 year support from my cell phone network I`m goin to sell this stillborn pnone and get a deecent one. Even iPhone is better... lol
Got an unbranded new O3D yesterday, had the chance of selling it to a galaxy nexus, but what about 3D? Can I live without it again? No I cant. 3D is a way better function imo than SGS2's smoothness or even galaxy nexus's ICS. I owned SGS2 and own an ICS phone, both are amazing, I love ICS , but we r getting it sooner or later, but i repeat again, we have 3D and for me it is the best function so far in a smartphone.

Noooooooooo..so that's what makes the difference,3D is a revolution and I heard a piece of news saying Samsung is about to produce 3D supported phones..Meaning??=Teased!
all we need now is patience and trying to support each other until there are enough resources that no one can complain..PEACE
Well hopefully when Samsung release a 3d smartphone next year it will be a lot better than the Optimus 3d so we will finally have a good 3d smartphone that works properly.

I don't understand all this complaining, my O3D has worked pretty much perfect from Day 1 using stock rom, we just received GB update and everything seems to be working fine for me...improved the camera and also released the 3D converter after launch, and LG promised an ICS upgrade too what more do you want.
This phone has better hardware and features than the Evo 3D and is only slightly behind the GSII in performance...looking forward to LG's next 3D phone I will be first in line.

Got an unbranded new O3D yesterday, had the chance of selling it to a galaxy nexus, but what about 3D? Can I live without it again? No I cant. 3D is a way better function imo than SGS2's smoothness or even galaxy nexus's ICS. I owned SGS2 and own an ICS phone, both are amazing, I love ICS , but we r getting it sooner or later, but i repeat again, we have 3D and for me it is the best function so far in a smartphone.

3D is indeed amazing but the Optimus 3d isn't the best phone to show it off. As the phone has had so many problems and LG seems to be forgetting the 2d side with bad 2d photo quality and only improving the 3d side doesn't help things.
Once more better 3d phones come out in the future which are better over all then phones functions then hopefully 3D smartphones will become more popular.

LG didn't bother to improve 2d photo quality. They seem to have made it worse.

2D photos seem fine to me but I found that a replacement camera app, Camera Zoom FX, made it so much better so I guess the problem is the phones software rather than the hardware.
In regard to others making a better 3D phone, so far LG's 3D comes out best in reviews and so, as other manufacturers have yet to catch up, I would expect Optimus 3D 2 to be best 3D phone next year as well. But it better have 1 GB ram as even I have to admit 512 is not always enough recently.

I have had this phone for a week and can say i love the idea of 3d but so far roms (no disrespect to devs) have been really poor. phone doesnt come close to the Samsung S2 and HTC sensation XE which i both have.
Am i doing something wrong with O3D or can you guys recommend me a rom to flash.
iv had loads of htc smartphones and samsung but first lg and feel abit lost seems like this forumn is dormant.

I've been really enjoying the 3D functionality of this phone. I'm still on the stock ROM and haven't been worried about alternate ROMs. This phone runs really well.
I also own an HTC Sensation and I have owned a Samsung Galaxy S II.....but they don't do 3D and - for me - 3D is THE reason to buy an LG Optimus 3D phone.
I've had a play with the HTC Evo 3D...and the 3D display on the Evo just isn't as good as the display on the Optimus 3D.
I'm looking forward to the official firmware upgrade. I only install alternate ROMs if that actually ADD value to the device. I've had my fill of broken Franken-ROMs that eat my time.

I agree with You guys. I had a S2 and it was great both with orig. firmware, miui and custom roms. Smooth as butter, and always working. Now I changed it for HTC Titan, and it also works great.
But O3D is another story.... Great idea, great hardware and ****ty software from the begining till now. GB is only marginaly faster but still buggy as hell.
I got info from the support that no GB updates are in the work for now. So we are stuck with v21a for qiute some time.
Also the devs are few and not very motivated (except Tiazo), and LG isn`t helping at all.
I realy don`t get it - it looks as if they are shooting themself in the foot???
I think this is my last LG ever! Even thou I have a great 2 year support from my cell phone network I`m goin to sell this stillborn pnone and get a deecent one. Even iPhone is better... lol

Its because LG is too slow with everything. Worse company so far between the mobile world big companies. In Sweden unbranded O3Ds has not gotten official GB still.

Hi,
I was attracted by the features of O3D, I bought it and trust the date provided by LG for upgrade.
Unfortunately, with the dates announced by LG for ICS (September 2012 at best) is the straw that broke the camel!
I even tried my own builds upon the rom without success, as LG provided virtually no sources ..
I decided to exchange my O3D against a galaxy SII, its cost me nothing ... and I was surprised to see that Samsung has already publish ICS beta rom perfectly usable as daily use. I use now CM9 and is perfect, in short I am no longer frustrated.
I encourage every member of this forum to do the same thing, for LG understands that we must not take these customers for idiots!
Wish you best for 2012, goodbye all++
PS: ICS is very very beautifull!!

Nice good for you. I'm getting frustrated with O3D as well. After the initial awe of 3D is over it's just plain slow even with some custom roms. AFter GB update it sometimes has missed out calls and it doesnt ring, camera still takes ages to come up. Less and less updates from LG and list goes on. But i wouldn't change it now since Galaxy SIII is supposed to be launching this quarter or other phones with quad core. So might as well go for something better.
U r right but i'm not waiting the ICS rom so i'm gonna stay with LGO3D
Oh guys, I got rid of my O3D as well, but not for GSII, for the mighty Galaxy Nexus..
As a loyal Nexus One user once, I have really missed the Nexus experience, and I must say, LG really really sucks big time.
You have to experience the zero lag experience of this phone, especially the zero lag camera shutter is amazing. You click, and bamm, you have your photo taken, and back to shutter mode in absolutely no time.
And ICS rocks of course.
What a loss with O3D..
I would not exchange it for a SII, it's not a worthy trade.
But my patience with this handset has reached its limit. It has been a torturing experience using this phone so far, and it has all been due to the constant MAJOR bugs LG adds to its ROMs.
It's unbelievable we get the ghost calls and sms on a V21 ROM, and the loads of problems previous ROMs had before make us expect nothing positive from LG.
I'm hugely disappointed by LG and though I'm sticking with this phone for a while more until I decide what to buy next, one thing is for sure, LG terminals are a no-go.
Cool, you pays yer money, you makes your choice.
I on other hand have just gotten rid of a Samsung product - the galaxy tab - due to woeful support and buggy software. You think lg are the only ones to delay and pre-release software?
The s2 is a great phone but the optimus 3D is fine for my needs, and ics isn't stable enough yet so I can wait. I bought the device knowing it was on froyo so I can't say I'm too aggrieved!
Good luck with your S2!

Isnt the SGSII much more expensive than the O3D (At least in Australia. Prepaid O3Ds go for ~$400 while prepaid SGS2s go for at least 550.)

I don't actually like the look of ICS - It looks too simple. I also don't see why people want ICS so badly, Quite alot of apps don't support it, and there isn't much new features that cant be done better by Non-ICS apps.
Most custom launchers already have the functions of the ICS launcher, most with extra features as well.
Cyanogenmod pretty much has Swipe to dismiss notifications.
Swype is much better than the ICS keyboard imo.
Face unlock and the better voice input engine are pretty much the only things custom apps cant add to GB/Froyo (Neither of which has much use. Face unlock can also be unlocked by a photo.)

Thats why I have turned back to Nexus Nation. No need to worry about the crap that manufacturers put in their firmwares. Pure Google, Pure satisfaction
To each his own, I guess.
ICS would be nice but I'm in no rush...heck I don't even see any difference in Gingerbread from Froyo (except better camera quality which is not even because of Gingerbread)
Phone works great and I love the 3D so I'm staying put

yeah...we all know that galaxy sii come with better support and software in both community and from factor...but still i have the 3D and at least cm7 is coming and the current roms are good enough...and im willing to wait another 9 months or so to get my ICS
so i'll stick with the optimus 3D for now...i would choose it over galaxy SII any day
but its a matter of personal taste and preferences
The price of O3D has been dropping in the online stores lately (around 300-400 euros atm), and I've been thinking of buying one to replace my Nokia N900. But reading these posts makes me think it's not that smart, even the price isn't that bad.
I really like the N900, but I think I need a new toy. And 1080p video recording. And no, I don't want to buy SGS2, as even my boss has one.
No thanx. Have had a SGSII before O3D and I like O3D better.

O3D is the best of the best
I had used many mobiles including Sgs2 , and i can say with full open mouth that optimus 3d is the best among of all

Why change it with a p[hone as sluggish as hell, full of bad quality hardware and crappy 3d? just because of the custom roms? Bottom line is that (almost) no custom rom is as stable as stock ones any brand you go see. Sure i like custom roms too just for the freedom of choosing but srsly evo3d? I've seen it in action with a hell lot of custom roms (my brother has one) and it is not half as good as o3d. My bro is so jealous of my o3d that he keeps asking me to swap phones
Was going for SGII, but after trying Cyanogen Mod I happy with this phone again, Zero Lag.
Just for fun I called LG, I knida call them every week for fun to tease them.
thinking about it now I should have taped the phone calls and put them out on you tube. very funny stuff.
Last call to LG:
me: when will Gingerbread for Australia will be released?
Op: it is has been released already
Me: really?
Op: yes
Op: you do this, then you do that. (installing software on the computer for the update)
me: can you please ask your tech guy please?
op: okay give me 2 minutes
after 10 minutes on hold
op: oh I am sorry but I made a mistake, the gingerbread will not be released for another 3 weeks.
me: another 3 weeks? why???????
op: they are doing final testing to make sure it is 100%
me: oh, so it the same as froyo where they tested and it is still buggy????
op: foryo???? what is Froyo???
me: you are kidding, right???
op: LG uses Android and the delay is from Google and not us, and the problems with the phone is because Android is Buggy
me: Thank you for the information, have a nice day!!!!
