porting desire s/incredibile s

can? yeah yeah yeah yeah

while an actual thread about porting the desire s/incredibile s would belong in the develpment section, this thread does not. it should be moved to Q&A. considering there is absolutely nothing related to anything going on in the thread. there isnt even a real question here, just "can".

Software wise? NS runs Stock Android whereas the Vibrant runs on TouchWiz and runs on a RFS filesystem which heavily relies on Voodoo/OCLF lag fixes.
There's a huge difference. Also CM7 supports the Nexus S.

Ya, my Vibrant does more and looks better doing it, my Nexus is minutely faster. My Nexus relies on Voodoo for the screen colors. So your relies on argument is kind of not a problem at all, since the mod is out. Now when and if the Nexus gets 720p video recording then it will be brought up to standard and that point will be negated as well.

How does the Nexus S rely on Voodoo? It doesn't need Voodoo to fully function properly. I can care less about Voodoo Color, Voodoo Sound? Don't even use it as my media player so it has no affect on me. 2.3.3 Colors are simply fine.
The Vibrant relying on lagfixes requires it to disable lagfixes and re-enable to flash new ROMs depending on what ROM. That roughly takes about 3-5 minutes to disable/reenable the lagfix.
Video recording? I honestly don't even use it. A phone can only do so much, it's not a superpower device. If I'm going to record something, I'll use a video recorder. That's just how I feel, people will try and argue about this but whatever. I prefer dedicated devices for video recording / photos.
Photos and videos with a phone are just for casual things.
Oh yeah. Have fun being on a outdated Android version. When Gingerbread comes out. All Vibrant ROMs will be based off internal leaks with a closed-source kernel. That should be pretty fun. By the time the Vibrant gets the official Gingerbread, we'll have Ice Cream.
@epsix: haha alright. go back to your MT4G forum
People will always find something to complain about. Sorry but the Nexus S pros outweigh the flaws. If you don't like the phone, then stop trying to bash a phone. It's immature.

If your on a vibrant, then why are you wasting your time in the Nexus forums? Go troll on the vibrant forums and tell someone who cares about how you use 720p recording to watch yourself

Took me 3 days to return the MT4G after looking at that horrible screen.

sold my g2x and bought crap

so i sold my g2x and bought a evo3d worst mistake of my life, dont get me wrong the dev's on the 3D forums are very talented but no matter how much you shine you cant polish this turd.

Just got done playing with the 3D today for the first time and your right, that thing is a turd. I'm done with HTC and LG for the next year probably. I'm going strictly Samsung until someone can prove they can optimize their devices as well as Samsung. Whether you like the materials they build their devices with or TW. You can't deny they have optimized Android and TW to run silky smooth. So far, they have done the best job and have innovated enough to be the first company to impliment hardware accelerated web browsing.

Couldn't agree more. I have a launch phone. Never suffered reboots. Minimal bleed. Overclocks and undervolts like a champ. My friend got an evo3d and it is a very good phone. 3d although gimmicky is a pretty cool feature that will impress people. The problem that he and I saw with the evo is that it lags too much. The launcher lags. Opening apps is slower. I guess this phone has me spoiled in terms of speed and smoothness

I have to semi disagree. I played with the EVO 3d and while its charm wore off about 10mins of playing with it, I did get an EVO 4G and think its a great phone so far. It responds as quick as my g2x but without the annoying reboots, freezes and overheating.
Only downside of it is Sprint sucks here in California. Only a small area has 4G and even then it sucks.

Yea, Sense lags as much if not more on the Sensation but the one thing the Sensation does faster than any phone I've used is open apps and interact with them. When using Google Maps there is pretty much no load time at all. All of this is strange considering the hardware is the same and the Evo has more ram. Just another case of poor optimization on HTC's part.

I had a Vibrant and a Nexus S and loved both of them. The Nexus S was the fastest single core Android ever mad and so far the GSII is the fastest dual core ever made. Samsungis getting better every year and so far, nobody is innovating right now like Samsung is. They are constantely pushing the next level with their CPU's, displays and software. The drivers they use in their software are straight up sick. Just look at what they did with Androids native browser. They added hardware acceleration to it before anyone else.

Good points ... vibrant was awesome minus the damn GPS...

Ive had the Vibrant and it was the best phone id owned... Until i upgraded to the Sensation. The Sense UI is altogether the best in my experience. The native widgets and apps do everything better than every other variation up to and including TW which i completely despise!!
The worst mistake ive made is getting the G2X during an insurance replacement (dont ask) the Sensation was on backorder and i didnt wanna wait. Plus i had heard about how sickeningly fast the G2X was and @ the time the Sensation's bootloader was locked. Now ive had nothing but issues with this phone. Im having the replacement replaced because of rebooting and signal issues. Everytime i get on the phone with Tmo i ask if theres a way to just send me another Sensation lol. Im this close | | to going to a store and begging!
If this replacement doesnt work out ... ACTION

Hey Umm OP i will trade my awesome Garminfone for your evo3d.

All phones have something wrong with them. Literally all. There has never been nor will there ever be a piece of computer technology with no bugs whatsoever.

Apparently, the E3D and Sensation are just speed bumps. The Vigor is supposed to be released on VZW in Q3 and I'm guessing there will be an international version. 1.5mhz SoC, new GPU, and 720p display. So much for the Sensation's flagship status.

If you look at a lot of Marketplace updates to many apps, being feed down the pike, developers are working hard to put in fixes for the device.
Read the reviews of many games and you will see tons of remarks of "does not run on EVO 3D" Lots of people up in arms...almost violent for a 99 cent app not working on their new phone........
EVO 3D to me seems to have much more of the device specific complaints.

Should I trade my G2x for Nexus S?

I've got a couple offers for my G2x trading for a Nexus S
Should i do it?
I need upgrade-ability and customization
I've heard people say the G2x will never get
Loss: Single core, VGA front facing cam, 5MP front cam.
Win: Almost guaranteed upgrade to IceCreamSandwich, Faster Update supportm NFC, Super AMOLED, Curved Glass, Louder Speaker than G2x, more stable
What would you choose?
Do you think the G2x will get ICS? (Cyanogenmod may not be able to make ICS, due to the fact that honeycomb is not open source and Google said that ICS will look like ICS.)

What? Google has confirmed that ICS will be fully open source at I/O 2011 just like Gingerbread, so the CM team will most probably support it. Otherwise, I'd stick with the G2x for the better specs, and the screen IMO is fine. It's only a little bit worse than Super AMOLED.

Glass is not curved.

In my experience the G2x screen is WAY better than any other phone I have ever used at one important thing... it is easy to view in direct sunlight. Better blacks and rich colors are great when you're huddled in the dark, but there are times when I want to go out and see both the world and my cellphone screen at the same time. The G2x is the best I have ever used in this regard.
As for the trade... i'd be tempted, but I'm sort of a path of least resistance kind of guy. I'd probably stick with what I know. I have been burned in the past with phones that have issues that don't show up right away while you are testing with your own SIM, so be careful. (Of course that advice would be even more prudent for the potential G2x recipient to follow!)
In the end I think it's whatever works best for you now, and the G2x has killer support right here in river city. I wouldn't worry too much about future proofyness, the future is seriously uncertain as it is.

I'm going to trade. Samsung tends to be better at making phones. They've made much more than LG. Also, my phones a lil bit knicked up. The one I'm getting is new. As long as the phone I'm getting doesn't lag like my Droid on gingerbread I think I'm fine to take the deal

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

The only reason I would swap is because it is guaranteed that I will get ICS other than that I wouldn't swap it.
G2x is superior in every other way, and if we happened to get ICS through Cyanogen we will be already superior in every aspect against the Nexus S.
The only reasonable thing for me to do is to get the new Nexus if cyanogen doesn't update our phone to ICS.

Don't compare my phone to a third world piece of junk assult rifle. If the G2x were truly a weapon, it would be something more like a PS90 or a Magpul Masada.

Dont mean to start a flame-war but, I also heard Samsung does better jobs with their RMA/Warranty than LG. It's just what i've heard.

Nexus s owns the g2x not by hardware stats but by shear support, longevity and dedicated updates for issues from Google directly. No carrier or manufacturer issues to deal with. That's a win win.

Put it this way, Nexus S is a prettier Vibrant 4G, without 4G, a SD card slot, and NFC Support. I loved the Vibrant 4G and wanted the Nexus S from my dad. I tested the G2x at T-Mobile, bought it, and don't regret it one bit. Samsung make better devices than LG, but Stock Gingerbread with an amazing launcher(extreamly fast launching) and dual core with an amazing battery, I wont leave G2x. If anything, trade for a Samsung galaxy S 2, from what I heard, best phone ever and looks like it too

I currently own in the house a g2x, nexus s, mytouch 4g, sensation and a firefly for the kiddo...with all the issues from the g2xs ive ran through its almost worth using the firefly....on a serious note the nexus s had a few let downs for what should have been a flagship phone when it arrived, though its been THE most reliable. They could have pushed more features into it. That being said...Ill use the sensation now until the prime arrives. No more screwing with carrier/manufacturer updates F THAT NOISE!

The G2x haters are still hanging around this forum. They must be closet g2x lovers. You have the sensation which is basically eye candy otherwise it really sucks. And I dare one of you to get a better quadrant score on the nexus s with its "single" core than my g2x. I can tell you I got a low 2900 on my g2x compared to a nexus s at 1850. Not even close. The nexus is a nice fone but you can't put it up against a g2x. And as far as the g2x being ugly, you're off again. Its a good looking fone maybe not as good as nexus s but I have a ton of roms that I could put on my fone that would put the nexus to shame.

[Q] Mytouch4g to a G2x

I am thinking about trading my Mytouch4g for a G2x.....i also have a dell streak 5
In everyone's opinion, which is the better phone? I know the G2x's specs are ridiculous compared to the other 2, but I have heard of many issues with the G2x.
This G2x is unlocked and rooted running 2.3.3. So I imagine that most of the bad bugs are worked out already.
So basically, I am wondering about other people's input on this trade. Should I go from the Mytouch4g to the G2x? Or should I just stick with my Dell Streak 5?

I made this switch. But I was forced to cause my MT4G died after I dropped it in water. Yes G2x is faster and has a bigger screen but in terms of development I think MT4G being an HTC is a better phone.
CM7 worked a lot better on it than G2x although G2x isn't that bad. It is still stuck on 2.6.32 kernel though, while the MT4G kernel is up to .35 and easily devvable.

Spec-wise, they are about the same. Shouldn't be much of a difference except for the keyboard.

What are the thoughts on this? Is it going to be a better idea to root it and install a custom ROM? Are the problems more prevelant on the stock ROMs?
He said it has been fine since he got a new one. But that it had many problems before when he had one with 2.2.2. I just dont want to trade for some buggy non-functional phone!
Has anyone had a lot of problems with their G2x since rooting or stock upgrading to 2.3.3?

Very true about development. If you are flash happy and want to change ROMs often...stick with the MT4G.

I'm in the same boat as the op, and I'm really tempted to get a g2x, as I'm a bit of a tech addict and can't wait for the gs2. On the other hand, the mt4g isn't terrible. It's stable, and development wise a lot better than the g2x. It runs pretty much 99% of what I want it to run very well.
The development is the only thing keeping me from jumping right now.

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river

I am getting antsy to get a new phone to replace my MT4G, but I do not want to spend a ton like I would on a sensation or the Galaxy 2. I was thinking an older dual core might be a good start.
I like to tinker, but not overly flash happy. Just want stability and decent battery life, and the typical things like good signal reception and call quality.

Why do people always bring up GSII? I doubt you'll notice any differences in real world performance... Just get a G2x. Development isn't that bad... But if you MUST HAVE Sense, stick with the MT4G.

The GSII is a great phone... If it is anything like the first one then it will be even better with cyanogen or any custom ROM, same with the sensation. I don't use Sense often, but it isn't that bad, especially the newer versions.
The biggest difference will be battery life. From what I am hearing, the new SOCs are much easier on the battery, so all things being equal, the sensation or GSII will have much better battery life even with higher use cases.
That is why the choice is more difficult. Besides... us tinkers (aka the rooting community) will never be satisfied long with the same phone. After about a year, it is time to look into something new. Sometimes we can't afford the latest and greatest so we look for the best bang for our buck we can.

As to a new g2x owner (3 weeks) I love this phone, bought it brand new from the store and it works flawlessly, I flashed weapons GB build and using fauxes over clocked kernel.
In other words, i'm in love with it.

G2x is soooo much better. My younger brother has a Galaxy S 4G, and it's a nice phone and all, but there is literally no development going on for it anymore. No Vanilla, MIUI, or ICS. G2x is wayyy faster although I really like the Galaxy S 4G's Camera.

I had galaxy s4g development there its horrible just rehashes diffirent themes with ROMs. Although music player is really good and can take advantage of full voodoo

I actually just got my Samsung Galaxy S 4g replaced from Tmobile with the G2X. I used the SGS4G for awhile.
I don't regret it one bit, this phone is a beast in comparison. I'm not even using ICS yet, and I'm so happy with my new device. Significant upgrade in my opinion, and as others have said ROM development is much more active.
The devs are trying to work out ICS, but nothing close to even "kind of" functional.
IMO the screen was a little better and voodoo sound is cool, but a majority of the ROMs are customized versions of a stable base. MIUI is also being worked on, however the significant gains in just about every other area out shine 2 perks. Can't comment on battery life yet, my G2X has "new toy syndrome" at the moment.
Bottom line, stuck my SGS4G in the box and sent it back this morning.
G2X > SGS4G
