Im getting ready to buy this phone, its the Virgin Mobile US model which to me looks to be exactly like the Optimus S from sprint. I was wondering what my ROM options were using this specific model, or if that even really mattered much. I want maximum performance for games and apps but aiming for decent battery life too, maybe something that scales and only overclocks when it needs it kinda thing (ive played with SetCPU and Milestone Overclock before on a moto Defy). Any help would be appreciated.
On a sidenote, does anyone know how Rocket Bunnies runs on this phone?

Someone from android central tried cm7 for the optimus s and said it was working pretty good.
saw a phandroid post of a rom called Xionia-VM designed for the optimus V. Ill keep an eye out for that, do you guys have any experience with this?
Here's a subforum dedicated to optimus V, it may be possible to use the ROMs from Optimus S, since they're so similar, but it might be best to ask there first.
yeah from what i gather if i use Optimus S roms the home and menu buttons will be backwards and the accelerometer wont work. @[email protected]
There are 2 working ROM's so far on the Android Central Forum for Optimus V, I'm currently running Rodmius 1.1 myself. Works great. Haven't tried Xionia yet
Hello,
i compared video call between the dell streak 5 (with streakdroid 2.1 , android 2.3.3) and the new ipad using TANGO
and
video call between the iphone 4S and the new ipad using FACETIME
I found that video call between iphone/ipad was much better than video call streak/ipad: the call was very clear
What can be the reason ?
I know FACETIME has been developed expressly for iphone/ipad, so that can be a reason
Another reason is perhaps that iphone has better hardware quality than the dell streak....
What do you think?
Anyone knows some ROM (newer than streakdroid) to be tried to improve video call quality, or if exists any version of TANGO, SKYPE, OOVOO, FRING that can improve video call quality on dell streak 5?
THANKS!

I think you are right but i still have a doubt:
the following is a completely different case, but:
my friend has galaxy s3 (it has ICS and good hardware, i think...), i asked him to call my pc (using SKYPE):
the call quality was very very poor;
then i asked him to call me with his pc (always using SKYPE): the call quality has improved
i thought galaxy s3 was a powerful device, why call quality was so bad?
could be that video chat applications for android like TANGO, SKYPE, OOVOO, etc can not provide a good quality on android smartphones because they are necessarily general, not expressly designed for a specific device...
in this way , they cant take advantage of the specific harware, that could provide higher performances...
instead, FACETIME, expressly designed for ipad/iphone can take advantage of its features....
but this is only a doubt, i am not a technician....

Hi guys.
I m thinking switching form LG optimus 2x to SGS2.
Previous owners of o2x, please give me feedback of you, also compare battery life.
.
and how cm10 on sgs2 ?
i mean whats not working ? compared to o2x
o2x getting nightly, only few minor issues left.
Yes
Hey, recently got the S3 (UK O2 version) got it rooted and flashed on custom 4.3 etc. I used to have the LG optimus 2X so the ram/cpu and gpu bump is pretty nice, was wondering if there were any interesting apps which would make good use of the S3's power? apart from a few games I can't think of much else despite being pro android
greetings..
I`m looking for an android phone that has a loud ear-speaker for my old man , the phone will be used for regular telephony usage (phoning , skype viber etc..) , so I dont care about the specs.
I searched for a bit and the Moto G seemed perfect ,but sadly it is not available where I live , so its only Sony/ Samsung/ HTC to chose from
any help?
