yes its good watch some youtube videos, cm7 is very good cm9 (4.0.3) is awesome but no where near stable. HDMI is good and works on my samsung 1080 tv

I like the couple I have. I have not had any major problems and all works fine.

This is a great phone, even on stock 2.3.3 its still amazing. The hardware is amazing as well. If you can get it for around $250, go for it.

Its a great phone the screen does take up alot of juice though I get around 2-4 hours of screen on time right now I'm running cyanogenmod 7 alpha 10 (does not have an official build another downer) with Faux's latest 2.9 kernel. cpu clocked at 1700 mhz and gpu clocked above 300 mhz (every once in a while i check out trinity's kernel which also runs smooth too) its running damn smooth there is also alot of ice cream sandwich development but I'm waiting until the get everything working. If you like sense the have that too lol but in my opinion its the best phone right now on t mobile (the samsung galaxy s2 for t mobile has no roms as of right now). Easy to root using www.revolutionary.io you should definatly get it you wont turn back to anything else I'm in love with this phone as you can see

I came from a Mytouch 4g. I love the Sensation! Speaker volume is a bit low though. I'm running on Insert coin ICS.

Despite what people say, beats is a great software. It's said that it's just an equalizer setting, but try recreating it. Easier said than done. If you like listening to music, this is 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
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
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

So far the screen is the only thing i like about it i need to break down and buy a digitizer maybe a all white conversion for the g2x

Best camera port for this phone

I am coming from an Amaze (awesome camera) and am wondering what camera port is best for the g2x.
thanks
Which ROM are you looking at?

Give a shot of this LG camera mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24955882
It should work with either 2.3.3 or CM7 as well.
Make a backup in CWM just in case, then flash the zip.

as much as I don't want to hijack this thread (even though this thread is almost pointless considering there isn't very many ports off cameras for our phone.) I'm not sure I agree with that one SadPanda... Build quality I prefer HTC they have a good group of devs, including a fully functioning ICS build. I've played with an amaze 4g rooted running a CM7 and compared it to mine (it wasn't overclocked just 1.5) mine was overclocked to 1.4, I think, it might have been up to 1.56... either way just regular use for me and my friend (no games) no big difference at all, if anything the amaze was faster with browser and loading things that required data since it is HSPA+.... next to each other he reaches 18mb down I got 12mb barely. Overall the Amaze is better IMO... I've been trying to sell my G2X for a descent price so I could the Amaze but no one will go for it lol.

Briefly, higher bitrates, better sound sampling and mp4 container. In addition it is working with CM7.

Will this work on an ICS build
They are both great devices, the Amaze may be a better build but thats really only because its newer.
I got bored with it due to the lack of dev and true AOSP. You can only dress up sense 3.6 so much before it puts you to sleep.

Well if I remember correctly, it has a 1gb of ram and CM9 support, but I'm not 100% sure. That sounds good to me

My step-son has been using the Atrix since its release and he absolutely loves it. There has never been an issue with it. I prefer the O3D personally.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Thrill all the way. Attic way to slow
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
I actually own both..I loved my atrix 4g...I wanted another when I added this line but they weren't available anymore. That being said I like my thrill better mainly due yo larger screen and old eyes..both are fast thrill has 3d..atrix has an extra partition with partial desktop Linux installed that allows you to plug in HDMI to HDTV and have Linux on TV and phone is mouse pad and touch keyboard.. very cool..so I guess the answer depends on what you like to do with your phone.
Also atrix has unofficial cm9 I used to build mine from source and yes it also has 1 gb of ram..it isn't slow if you run custom roms
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Lol I mean cm9 and the Linux TV was what grabbed my attention but not only that the fact it will also get ICS screams to me that it will race right past the thrill once both are on ICS ill be trading my friend so ill still have access to the phone as I should really really like to see the final product after ICS is out and miui is available

Not to mention miui is available on atrix. My wife runs notachrix it is gingerbread but very stable so I don't have to worry about her having probs. Ics roms still have 2d driver issues and she plays those damn farm games..lol...you will Like it just pm me before you unlock the boot loader if it is not already done..it is a pain in the butt.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Not to get off track here but what is so good about miui? I have never seen anything there that made me think anything but Iphone.
Well, I own both, so:
Atrix on stock gingerbread sucks. Also, it feels flimsier than the P920. My atrix is currently in the drawer, waiting for parts...Case scratches easily, too. On the nice part: ICS 4.0.4 rocks, but you get no fingerprint support...Phone fast as hell, especially when overclocked @1450MHz....
As for the P920:
Bulky, but sturdier than the atrix, screen looks better, despite lower resolution...Camera is better too (but IMO the flash on the atrix is better)...P920 also feels faster, be it stock or overclocked...Wireless communications also seem better.Negative side: Battery lasts shorter on my P920 than the atrix
Shortening it: if you want a developer's phone, get the atrix, if you want a nice-looking, feature-rich phone, then LG it is.

Should I trade my inspire 4g for a Nexus s

Always wanted a nexus s when they can out have a inspire 4g right now but had a offer for a Nexus s so what would be best? If anyone has both and could tell me what one is better and why that would help thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
They look pretty similar, here's the spec sheets for both though if you haven't seen them yet. Looks like your Inspire has more RAM but Nexus has a way bigger hard drive. I've had my NS for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it despite it being two years old. There are some great roms for it too, HTC was a let down for me on the development side. Plus it's just a sexy looking phone I would make the trade if the condition is similar on the two but that's just me, I'll take pure android over Sense any day.

The 4.2 roms I've tried are great, very little lag if any with the right kernel. I think the drop in ram will be your biggest issue though, may not be quite as smooth as yours.

I got my Nexus S 2 months ago and I don't regret buying it. If there are a right developers, device will be never dead.
P.S. It has such a small quadrant's results, but i don't belive in **** like benchmarks. MC4 works awesome, even better than on 2.3 or 4.0/4.1.

The develpoment section is better for the Nexus, the sexyness is undoutible asswell, just turn the screen of on it and look! (Nexus looks more modern do you see how new devices tend to have round corners?)...if you are not certan on the other owner's phone do not traid but if the device is ok, do it in a heartbeat!
