I think Google has dropped the ball with Android by not requiring phone manufacturers to enable their hardware to run strictly vanilla Android without any difficulty. If Google had done that, every phone which has the basic hardware for a specific version of Android would have it now. Open Source Android and Linux is a farce because manufacturers have made them essentially closed source due to not releasing the source code for their drivers, etc. May as well have an iPhone.

At least the iPhone is less frustrating because it is a closed system that can't be modified except by Apps and, even then, only those which comply with Apple's requirements unless the phone is jailbroken. I've got an iPod Touch 2nd generation, jailbroken, which I still use and enjoy using but I highly doubt I will still be using the G2X for as long.

I wish I had your optimism. These 3 that are playing in the arena are good. VERY good, but I don't believe Google or LG or nVidia has given us enough to work with to get the radio going. Call it the pessimist in me.

lol i fully agree with you bro ) i wish android and apple could combine OS's lol andropple lol tht would be funny but insane too bad thts never gonna happen ahahaha
A iPhone ?
You know what's nice with android phones ? You want a overclocked kernel, I can make you one. You want good battery life, I can make something out for you. You want your favourite theme, download it. You want to install a incompatible OS update, give thanks to your devs and they'll make it compatible for you . You want a ROM with nice flames when it boots, then give thanks to your favourite ROM cooker out there.
You want a iPhone, then you get a iPhone, that's it. Gotta like apples.

And Android has been a buggy unstable nightmare. I spend most of my time with my phone trying to get it to work.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when it works. It refuses to work quite often.
The ROM I'm tinkering with (see signature) seems promising.

Try out a g2 or nexus one, or high end motorola, or low end samsung without touch wiz or an lg or other phone with a vanilla rom. The cappy has a great gpu and screen but the original stock rom wasnt very good with unreliable gps and at least for me big problems connecting to samsung kies or a windows pc's in general. The leaked froyo generally works a lot better and still has major bugs that don't bother me too much. The official froyo should make people happier even if it's taking too long.
Remember how much the iphones sucked untill ios 3 came out when it could finally do the things you'd expect it to do in the os like picture/video text and copy/paste. And it was already on its second or third hardware version.
But that's a bad example because android was already ahead in many areas (multi taking, app drawer, folders, notifications that didn't stop what you were doing, widgets) and still is. And in ios3 you still had a crappy camera.

I'm fully aware that Android is a gazillion times better than what Samsung is presenting.
I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
How the hell can someone go vote WM7 as the best mobile OS, when no device actually HAS the OS on it? Because they like the concept of it, it automatically makes it better the OS's that have already proven themselves? Hmmmm.......
Mikeymike try DG s aosp rom. Its the most vanilla android rom we have for now. It still has some touchwhiz in it but what's not is pretty awesome. Like most of us on att this is my first android phone and I didn't care for TW much so I used LP. Tw reminded me too much of ios . I'm looking forward to a complete.aosp rom

I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!
its called patience.
to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.
You also have to remember that out dev section is split between the o2x and g2x. These two forums should be combined.

+1 would be a disaster.
I agree development is slower than I'd expected..
I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

The Vibrant has been out for 10 months. The G2x has been out for barely 2.
Development will come.. It takes some time though. Not every Android dev has the cash to buy a new phone every time one comes out.

Closer to 3 weeks. It's amazing how some people think it is easy to develop a rom.
It would help if anyone could build a kernel from the lg source that didn't break wifi and bt. All attempts have failed.....
I actually thought the opposite, I thought development is going great!
I don't remember really seeing any major development for the Vibrant until after 2 Months!
And we already have a. 2.3.3 and a 2.3.4 Rom out!

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.
maybe we can get somebody to port/kang this.

just buy yourself an iPhone.
Not being mean just kind of seems like a waste of effort cause miui is so similar its really about down to theming really. Plus Android is greater than iOS. And I like when people ask why my iPhone looks different and I can say cause its not an iPhone its got the majority of the looks but more functionality more open apps less corporate control over everything. So taking dev work from other more different projects just seems a little silly to me.

Ya, I'm very willing to try and of course will report logs and bugs all I can ^^
I got JoyOS uploading as we speak it's an Alpha build just because it's the first one and i didnt look too much into it just as long as no fc's and everything was functional which it is. Everything works except camcorder so do you guys want me to support the rom and put it in the dev or just put link to it here which will bring no future updates/support?
Roms and support are always great, but I would say do whatever you have time and inclination to do. You've done so much it doesn't feel right to get on here and say "yeah, do more." Whatever you choose is gonna be appreciated.

hmmmm...I have an idea if you don't mind ...I think you should post it in dev section since it's your work anyway ...And then, you can open a poll for it, if it not interest anyone like Lewa, then you could get it free out of mind and the opposite ... (I think you know )
For me, Yes, just post it if you have time because it is interesting and yes, you support it or not up to your decision ^^ (since as I see, you should focus on MiUI or sth bigger cause Lewa or JoyOS or maybe MookOS is somehow alike MiUI in appearance but not very cool as MiUI in themes, Chinese team support and part of ui as Lewa I feel is a little not as smooth as your MiUI)

Yep.
But one thing I should let everyone know is that based on cm just means boot.img and some libs the frames and apps n rest of the rom is JoyOS that's why my rom doesn't have reboot to recovery working eventhough cm does. So I'm not telling you but everyone this won't have a lot of the features cm has because its a different OS I just used cm because its an aosp rom

That's just silly. To, as you say, "use it for what it's for" would include modifying the device in any manner that pleases you. So installing an iOS look alike on an android phone is one of the many reasons people purchase android driven products. If you prefer that there are limits to what should be done with another person's device then perhaps it is you that should be looking at getting an iPhone.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
I totally agree with 1bad. To each their own...

Its just my opinion of how I would prefer my phone to look...I've used MIUI before and I liked it a lot.....but SMARTISAN just seems a bit more deviated from the "Android" look and its not even completely a copy of iOS....and I wouldn't waste money on an iPhone....I would just get a Find 5 or some other high-end phone if I could (I can't but I still like my A2 a lot)
