Never heard of modaco before. Are his ROMs good?

I was initially wondering if I should get this device as it seems like there is lack of developers' support.
With support from paul, I am sure we can get a satisfactory custom rom.
Looks like I can order mine now.

Yeah Paul at Modaco is talented.... I have used his custom ROMs before on my Hero, must say i was very impressed! Hope the VillainROM team also get involved with this phone!

He has also done some excellent work on the Nexus 1. He was the first to bring out a Sense Rom for it.

Yeah ive been using VillainRom for my Hero for over a year now still keeps up with my girlfriends "stock" SGS! Pulser is the man, hes been saying how he doesnt like LG based on previous phones etc.... but i just hope he see's sense and starts developing for this monstor!

Yes!
Personally the LG 2X is the only interesting phone which is coming out now.
Galaxy S II -- too big
Desire S -- lol
Only the Motorola Atrix might be interesting as well, but the 2X seems to have better materials used.
With Paul on the phone, i'm sure the phone will get a great dev phone and a lot of custom roms.. (ok, i only hope..)
Just waiting for the first Gingerbread 2.3 ROM running on the 2X and i'll get one.
Good bye Desire (even it is one of the best phones i've ever had)

@Atomicman
i tested the sgs2 at the cebit few days ago and i was shocked how laggy this thing was.
maybe samsung will fix it until the official release but after that experience i'm 100% going with the optimus2x

Also thought long about that, and chose the O2X.
As you say:
SGS2 - too big
Desire S - with dual-core would be cool, but isn't
Atrix - locked bootloader is a shame
Just hope that community support will bring O2X long life!

i just got mine LG Optimus 2x and WAUW!!!
LG has done a really good job, I'm so impressed with the speed of this device - no buggyness and no laggyness
The stock is very nice although it's 2.2.1..
But I want custom ROMs NOW!!!

Paul, with the Acer Liquid, buyed it and selled it like a month later for a nexus one (if I remember well). So we must "pray" that he will not buy a Galaxy S2 or something as soon as it comes available

Yep, I remember that.
The difference is that Liquid was quite cheap device, I guess this time it won't be so

ROM Building

THIS IS GROUND ZERO for me. LG released a phone with one of the best hardware setups i have seen on any phone, especially with the dual ram dual channel memory. those 2 things coupled with the dual core processor, make this phone incredibly smooth. i am currently running Thriller on it, and though the Dev for said rom bailed out on us, i still have hope that this phone will continue to improve, and those of us who see the true potential of this device, will continue to have faith, and work with each other to make improvements.
personally, i'm wanting to start development using the ICS SDK and hopefully port a great version of the software onto this phone. i know it's ambitious, and i know it would take a long time, BUT, this is something that i want to do, to learn the skills of rom building, and possibly make a career out of it (i dunno, get on at Google as a Dev there or something?)
i know that to port ICS onto this device, i'm going to have to write drivers for the rom from scratch, and as i have no prior knowledge of how to do that, it may take a while, but seeing as it all runs of the same base kernal as Linux, as well as MacOS X, those who actually do have knowledge of how to do this, could be a great help. if anyone is interested in helping me in this journey, PM me. "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" well, i say WHY NOT?!?! if there's a will, there's a way, right? who knows, maybe we'll get ICS ported before LG even announces that they're gonna be upgrading to it (newer-as of 2011 dunno exactly when-google polocies state that any phone launched with an android OS are required to update to the newest OS within 18 months of launch)? now wouldn't that be a smack in the face to LG? a bunch of unpatient people who were unwilling to wait for their bloody port to a new version of software, banding to gether to make it happen before they can. PM me if you're with me. i'll give personal, private contact information to anyone who sounds at least as serious as i do about this.- IrishPunk

Use the search function on how to build roms and yeah we do have plenty of devs in here.

Agreed, when I saw gtg was gone it was like a balloon deflated. DG is gone too. We may never get fully functional CWM, and doubtful the O3D ROMs will port fully.
Guess its good I still have a few days to swap for the SGS II.
I guess I will have to take my humble pie as I do. I never thought I would take the Thrill back, I chose the Thrill knowing the SGS II was right there. But, I don't want to kick myself in a month when that window is done, and the used price of the Thrill has already tanked.

I'm past my return window, and it just sucks that this phone is a month old, and everyone is losing hope and returning it. I'll just stick it out with my multiple batteries and learn to work on it.

Everyone is bailing too early. I mean this Will get GB it's just a matter of time and patience which seems to be lacking with a Lot of people who bought this phone. Regardless though I assume building a Rom will be easier once GB get's rolled out although I could be wrong.

Patience will pay off in the end. If for nothing else, than to fix the battery life which seems to be what's running everyone off. I had the horrible Dell Streak when we waited for like a year for Froyo. If I can do that, I can wait on GB.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

yup yup
I learned alot about this stuff messing with my inspire.. when i heard about the thrill coming out i was like "finally theres something like the evo 3d for att" it was a no brainer when my upgrade came a few days ago.
I did tell myself that i would give the phone a week to wow me.. or id be exchanging it for a SGS2.. however.. every day i read these forums, and the O3D forums and im constantly being amazed.. ive found an excelent rom and have almost worked out all the mms, 4g issues from using a O3D rom..
everyday im just a little closer to friday and the trade back.. but every day im amazed just a little more.. id love to learn the rom building process but i frankly do not have time.. every dev. ive ever dealt with has been more than courteous as long as i did make an attempt to look into the issue on my own first.. im excitedly awating CM7 for this phone and its almost there.. all i need now is an OC kernel to crank up this 1ghz dual core and ive got my daily user for the next 2 years..
I eagerly log in each day looking for what new tidbit is up and running.. i love being on the ground floor when everyone is bailing... the same happened for a couple of weeks with the inspire if you remember.. it was a pain to root.. but those that stuck in there found the wait to be worth it.. the same will happen with the Thrill.. im sure of it..
just hang in there guys and thank you to all the devs that are more knowledgeable than me. your work IS greatly appreciated.. your all my heroes..
Thanks again.. I think im in it for the long haul with the Thrill..

I started out using ROMs on the Streak, but have never tried to build one until now. Have you ever tried searching the forums for Android ROM building? Yeah good luck with that. I've even tried just googling Android froyo ROM creation, most of what comes up is for HTC.

im not giving up on this phone.. its one of the best so far.. its so much fun having it .. lets just hope for a better tomorrow .. with roms all over ... like the good old days with the tilts

well how about you ask gtg465x for his kitchen, he's left the thrill, so he might be willing to help

If you do find the needed tools plz let me know. I'd love to try my hand at helping to develop for the thrill. I work for att and all my coworkers have ditched the thrill for the sg2 but I like the thrill way too much to leave it.

Aah a fellow co-worker! Glad another AT&T employee is keeping it real with the thrill lol. I am always searching but don't come up with any results on LG Android Rom creation. Then if you ask in a post all you're gonna get is a smartass telling you to search for it. I'll find it one day!
Of course I've already got adb and the android sdk, I just need to know what I need to go with it.

Well you will need linux but here on the forums you can find something called Android Utility. Pretty much comes with everything you need to make roms, edit apks even some boot.img tools. For windows i have no clue, I do everything in linux. Good luck.

Aah once again Linux and I come face to face. I suppose it's time to bite the bullet.

Is it me or is it slowing down

I haven't seen much on roms lately. All the one's out here aren't stable either. We only have a couple fully working roms and none of them are being update. If I get a new phone any suggestions on what it should be to take advantage of the most fully functional roms?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA

I found Liberty ROM to be quite stable, and while I don't want to jinx it, I've been running Maverick 4.0 for a day or so and it seems great!
If the bootloader ever gets unlocked, it will open up more kernel dev options (for the genius' out there!) which could open up more/better ROM possibilities for us (fingers crossed).
I don't think I'll be upgrading to another phone until a new physical keyboard model comes out. And hopefully it's quad-core with at least a gig of RAM. (512mb on my XT860 has been killing me) ;D

Unfortunately I dont think the kernel will ever be unlocked on our phones... that's Motorola for you.

Sent from my DROID3 using XDA

Ever since they switched to the nightlies and stopped posting new beta's on here It slowed down, IMO.
I'm happy with Mavrom 4.0 I guess, but would've loved to see hashcode etc. focussing on getting video on ICS, rather than adding features etc. Other ROM makers could've tried that. Who cares about advanced settings when you can't even record a video?

Google is going to probably sell Motorola hardware section to Huawei and keep the core just as legal requirements. Also, they said they are not going to interfere with Motorola decisions on their products. Google only bought Motorola for their parents, nothing more, nothing less.
Rocking with my M3 and XDA app

Exactly ... but I don't want this to be a Motorola bash... even tho its easy to do... lol... so for now I would like to see a list of roms that are fully functional. I'm on liberty and I keep going back to that just because everything works... what other roms are in this category. And I agree that a extra features aren't important till a fully or close to fully completely working roms is in place. What's the point of all the bells and whistles if you can't even use the basic functions of a phone.. don't get me wrong now. I love trying new roms but it becomes a downer when you get one that has cool extras but you end up going back to a working rom for taking video or watching Netflix .... even if your on safestrap to go back to that functional rom. And the other question is if I change phones what would be a good phone to go to just for rom purposes ...
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2

The problem iswith the hardware codes and drivers. Every phone probably has this problem with ics. They add more features cause this is almost impossible. The attic has a really good developer support. I would definitely go back yo it if I could but I had nothing but problems with mine. Anyone know how to make a rom? I wanna get into it.

I assume you mean Atrix instead of attic?

The real issue to all of the problems is the bootloader. When you can customize the kernel to fit your rom you pretty much take care of any problems. Not to say there aren't roms with custom kernels that don't have issues .... there are but thats due to other things. Programming or incompatibly issues. All of our roms are franken roms held together by bungee cords and duct tape. The devs do a great job with what they have at hand so when time comes for them to build a rom on a phone with a unlocked bootloader, I don't blame them.. much more freedom and the ability to create awesome roms the way they want. All the stable roms we have are just built around the original with some cleaning up and a splash of color... I wonder what it feels like to know when you pick a rom no matter what it is and you know its going to work and the only reason you don't stick with it is because you don't like the way it looks or it doesn't have a extra you want... how sweet.

[q] why no new vivid roms ?

if you want different roms theres always miui or de-sensed just google them cant post links here

The other reason is because a lot of the devs who worked on this phone have move on to the HTC One or SGIII. This phone is over a year old, which is a lifetime in phoneyears, unfortunately.

this badass named mg2195 is deving a cm10 rom ^-^

Woahhh there don't get angry xD It's due to the age (most dev's want the newest and best phone) and also due to the fact that this phone just wasnt that popular...

If its not popular why is the HTC hd2 still getting development and that was launched waaaaay back. And how is this phone hard to dev for???
Sent from my HTC Raider on the Rogers Wireless Network

The phone is just full of shotty hacked up htc code. They just threw together a bit of everything to make it work, which kinda ruined it for everyone wanting to create custom non-sense based roms

Instead of posting multiple threads in here about why there aren't more ROMs, why not go talk to the makers of ROMs such as JellyBro and JellyBam to see if they will support our device, now that we're cm10 official. Or go create your own.

Vanilla android?

I was waiting on the sgs4, but after the cringe worthy unveiling last night…Im not 100% sold on it. Even with a nice vanilla rom, the hardware looks a bit boring (yeah, the screen does look nice…plus I bet the cpu+gpu will be awesome)…so my next choice is the HTC One. However, I don’t see any posts talking about Roms (other than stock/sense roms)…is this because its new…or is there an issue and custom vanilla android roms might not come out straight away?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know whats what before jumping in (I know for example, the sgs2 couldn’t get JB roms working 100% because it was missing the Sammy HW compressor at one point)
Cheers guys

It's just a matter of time till the No-Sense script (I believe that's what it was called for most htc phones) is adapted for the One.
However, out of the box you should be able to use something like Nova launcher to give you as much vanilla as you can get without rooting.
Hope it helped

You have to wait for someone to develope AOSP for this device. Typically, you have some one try to get CM going, then you'll get aokp and so on if this device is popular enough.

Would be Sony Ericsson, but the Xperia X1 was build by HTC just Software was SE.

it will need some time until someone figures out how everthing works with snapdragon cpu and until htc delivers some kernel sources... hopefully they will update to 4.2.2 anytime soon with kernel sources to get stable cm10.1
