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.

i just recently switch from the amaze to the sensation, and with all the roms to choose from, i could not be happier with it, only problem i've noticed is a squeaky back cover, similar to how my amaze was, but not as bad lol

Thanks very much!

lost of good luck, haha... just curious if it is even possible cause if I remember a serious team of rom cookers/builders couldnt get sense ported to and samsung phone cause it is a totally different phon/ hardware/processor... its just not likely if I remember right. But serious good luck to you cause that would save me from getting the sensation.

I don't know about seeing a ROM with Sense 3.0 on my G2x but I can tell you right now. If I can't get a G2x that isn't so buggy I will be getting a HTC device with Sense 3.0. I have been through 4 G2x's in the past 2 days and all of them have serious bugs or defects.
where there is will there is a way lol
the more support I get the better chance there is

Sleep of death. The screen goes completely black and wont wake up from stand by...no matter how many times I press the on/off bottom. So taking battery off fixes it, but it happens many times.

I feel outdated

I have had this phone for only a few months and I love it, but I get jealous when i see the new dual core phones like the Hercules come out, because I know that my phone is now below average with only a 1700 quadrant score
first world problems, I know
Install gb with dsextons tweaks and ext4. I hit 2888 yesterday with no overclock and 3976 with 1.5 oc.

Dang, thats sounds great, can i have names to the roms and kernels you are using? Sorry im a noob and don't know what to search.
You will find everything you need here:

Don't feel outdated... I have a MT4G and whether I'm running Sense 3.0, CM7 or MIUI any app opens in 1/10 of a second. And I have yet to find a game that slows my phone down. And yours has even a better processor than mine.
So dual core isn't much of a jump from high end single cores.

Definitely. That alone doesn't make me jealous for a dual core. Switching between CM7, MIUI and Sense 3.0 ROM's keeps me entertained.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the support this phone got since barely anyone jumped on it.
While you guys don't have many devs, you definitely have some high quality ones.
Had couple chances to trade for this phone. Just couldn't do it end of the day. Maybe one day!

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

Give a shot of this LG camera mod:

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.

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.

I had the sensation and upgraded to the one s but still like to flash roms with the sensation for fun and the sensation seems so laggy compared to the one s. The performance and battery life of the one s is amazing. I defiantly recommend getting the one s just be sure you get the s4 chip.

try AOKP Jelly Bean (the link is in my sig) i love this rom and it's as close to aosp jelly bean as i've seen so far (not including cm10 because it is not fully functional)
Are you from Europe or America? In Europe you'll probably get the S3 Version even if it's from T-Mobile.
I'm okey with this phone, I can't complain about anything except the missing update support for the S3 device (I have one and can't do anything about it) and the missing custom ROM support.
I got the phone yesterday evening and it came with the s4 chip (im in the u.s.).
Rooted it an hour later.
Im loving it compares to the sensation.
Only problem I have right now is the backlights on the buttons won't turn on sometimes I reseted ny phone before rooting it and that did the trick. But now its back at it

Better than being on HSDPA all the time, but sync is by far the worst drainer.
Mine is AMAZING but I'm on 'JellyBam' not just JB so don't know if that is the difference cuz my battery lasts from 7am to 10pmish from texting/calling/internet browsing/downloading games & apps/ plus using Skype during the day as well, maybe try a ROM if your on stock ROM with JB update?
Mines been absolutely amazing. Get 24 hours no problem with heavy use. Today I had over 2 hours of talk time, games, and Internet. Wish I could check on screen time though

Been using jellybean for about a month now. absolutely terrible battery life. i used to get 24 hours on ICS with HSDPA all the time, and i barely manage 12 hours on JB.
Wish there was something that could fix.
I might just have to downgrade back to ICS.

Just wanted to add.. The jelly bean sense based ROMs just came out.. Remember ICS has been out for a while... When ICS first came out it didn't have the greatest battery either..give it time allow people to figure out what works and what doesn't..it has already changed a lot sense the first virtuous release...
