Need Help Deciding

So I have the opportunity right now to exchange my droid charge with my moms droid x. Now the droid x has miui and cm7 and alot more development and roms but im not sure if its worth leaving this phone. what are you guys's opinion? DX or DC?(just to make it clear, it the original droid x, not the droid x 2) thanks in advance!

I also just learned that they almost have a fully functional ics ..they're only missing mms, and speakerphone bbasically

It really depends on you. I am a flashaholic, but there are many things that I would give up for the Charge if given a Droid X.
Super AMOLED Plus v LCD
4G v 3G
Those are the two things that I wouldn't give up.

No. just, no.

Hands down the screen does it for me. No way I let go of the charge for that phone. Maybe for a nexus.

If you gotta ask, I suppose that you haven't used the Droid X. I think it's a downgrade in every way.

Well I have used it, but I mean, I haven't gotton a chance to flash a rom on it and see how it performs with ics or cm7 or miui. I think we can all admit that this is a good phone, but any other okay phone with aosp might perform better in daily use

Keep your charge, good things are coming. And when it does you'll wish you still had your charge.
Patience is a virtue.

The DX is just an old, slower phone. It's past its prime.

Even with cm9 cm7 and miui? I mean, they are bboth 1000mhz...the only difference is lte on the charge(which I dont have in my area) ALOT more development on the dx, and the screens

Isn't the DX powered by Snapdragon? Hummingbird>
Snapdragon. Also, the gpu in the charge is better.

A smart choice, IMO.
I would load up either Infinity or Tweakstock.
Then I would flash ICS Fugu and run the V-6 and Scheduler Changer scripts.
I personally overclock, but to each their own.

Check this out:

A third and better choice:
The 2100 MAH Samsung Galaxy Nexus extended battery. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528782

I got two of the Anker 2025's, and am pretty happy with them. But, I wanted something I could grab between work meetings, etc. These batteries are stable and cheap, around the same amount of run time as the stock battery
If you're looking for something that offers more talk time I'd go for the nexus battery

It bulges a bit

CPU Master Settings

For those experiencing long battery, what CPU settings do you have placed on your phone? I would like a recommended setting that's good enough for performance, but better battery life. Thanks!

I noticed great battery life with the stock ROM (which I'm running right nOw) only thing I did was remove bloatware.

How much did you underclock? Damn auto correct
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

Down to 1 Gigahertz for Max and for min the same. For some reason when I try to lower the minimum CPU it reverts to the same as the maximum. Weird.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

I didn't do a thing to the CPU, but I still get decent battery life, even on the long train trip home. One full charge lasts me about 10-12 hours (including standby time while I'm at work)

will the g2x get jelly bean?

i just wanted to ask if theres any info if the g2x would get a official update?
i would think it would have alot more dev to it sense it being one of the firsts phones with a dual core but i guess that doesnt matter

Usually people/devs who like high specs devices at the time of release just get the newest/greatest and jump ship!
At time of release it was the first dual core phone.

Yep. And was my first smartphone. I've never regreted it. I have a lot of fun even without ICS.

This is the best rom my phone has ever seen tbh, I'm getting sooooooooooooo much better battery life, I expected the battery to run out in a hours time with templerun/bluetooth/dataroaming/wifi/max 100% brightness, I got bored waiting so I just stopped but my battery life was much better, my g2x hated every other rom but this apparently, my battery would disapear with nothing but data on and screen off with cpu set to minimal performance.
I suggest trying hackfest, if your phones like mine it'll love the battery.

Did this look right?

How much screen time is the key, even on WiFi. Screen kills this battery. Appears like you have a LOT of on time.

What's your point? Most phones last way shorter than that. Be lucky that it lasted that long! Unless you have a maxx or somethine, this is really good battery life.

If you're not satisfied with the battery life order an extended battery, I just got my Anker 4400mah battery today and so far I'm loving it! The extra bulk actually makes it easier to hold and use the phone.

You charged your phone a bunch of times.

I had a maxx so maybe I'm used to that. My last phone was a razr hd. Here is right now with 18 min.screen time. While sending this it has dropped to 68. If this is normal let me know. I may have to go back to razr hd. I'm on stock but thinking about cyanogen.

What's your screen brightness level? You can't have it at 60-100% plus all the crap I see is running and expect out of this world battery life. A ROM change isn't going to help you there.
EDIT: Look at your awake time compared to your screen on time, whatever all those apps you have running are, they're eating up your battery, check mine out below. You really need to stop a lot of that stuff from running all the time, your battery life will increase exponentially.

My screen is like at 20%. I keep it that low all the time. I'll post a picture of what's running

Something is draining your battery, like mentioned maybe rogue app, like wolf put it best.try rescan media, it'll help.I have a 2200mah anker battery.vs stock.I run plenty of apps no power saver options on.
Also no I don't do bump charging, this is off one straight charge

All that red in your signal line really kills the battery too. The phone is constantly pinging looking for a signal that but can't find. At least is my non-technical understanding.
A new radio may help. Or putting the phone in airplane mode when you are in a bad area

Why did you charge so many times? Running the battery down most of the way then fully charging tends to keep your batteries stronger longer.
