Hi guys,
This is a thread where u can post about :-
- the the first android phone u ever used
- What all versions of android u have gone through
- Features u miss currently on your droid....
- Any special thing or event associated with your first droid..
It will be fun to know who all r loyal followers of android...
My first android phone was Spice MI-300..
I had used android since donut i.e android 1.6, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, n ICS (thanks to lupo)
Its really a big improvement considering from where android started and its getting better n better...
My first is O1
From froyo to GB to ICS
Mine was LG 500 with froyo 2.1
mine is LG P500 with 2.2 froyo. I miss the good ol' stable froyo days but current cm7.2 and oxygen are up to mark(still missing the awesome stock LG camera app, but I can do without it )
First android: Optimus one, with Froyo.
Gone through Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS.
Not missing much. Hardly use the camera. Having the Wi-Fi hotspot working in ICS would have been nice.
Currently have my eyes on Huawei Honor. The specs look nice. I'm pretty sure devs will wreak havoc with this one once they get their hands on it.

Yup around 2yrs ago i got myself Spice Mi-300.. i bought spice coz at that time it was the best Android Phone at the budget of 10K while htc tattoo with 528Mhz costed about 14000... Mi-300 had pretty much same specs as of O1 just less RAM n a smaller battery but it boasted a 5MP camera with flash... I miss that sometimes though
I switched to O1 coz it was certain that it will be upgraded to GB and 512 MB RAM
Spice Mi-300 was shipped with Donut and as that was my first smart phone i was just too amazed to see how android worked...just too smooth n fluid even on donut, then after 2-3 months as promised by the company it got upgraded to Eclair and i got first look of live wallpapers
I even rooted that phone but i was too Noob at that time, I flashed a rooted custom firmware and all worked fine..
Then i got to know about cyanogenmod and found out that Mi-300 was one of the variant of Commtiva z71, at that time froyo was very new so it was not that stable, but i didnt read that n flashed, i started getting random reboots and also camera didn't worked.
Then i got a patch for camera but didn't knew that it was to be flashed to recovery, so i just extracted it and placed the files at respective places and the outcome was it never booted again..
I gave that to service center and after abt 20 days they fixed and gave me back..
After that i sold that n bought O1 n decided never to mess with my phone again ....but here i am flashing all possible things on Tiny O1 ..
Looking back really makes me feel what a noob i was..
LG O1

MIUI is based on ICS too...
T-mobile G1, cupcake than donut. I used earlier versions of cyanogenmod.. I also developed with hazardxops on HTC sense UI ports but it was never complete.... back than I used androidspin.com and androidcentral.com. G1 was the US's very first phone to run android... when the nexus one came out, everyone wanted one.. developing on g1 was easier, HTC has always been good at releasing drivers

I'm not sure which phone I want now.. but tegra processors and dual core processors sound nice with expandable memory and flash camera... preferably Samsung or HTC..

Hello everyone, so to start off i have a one question:
1)how much is a used ( perfect condition ) xperia x10 worth? ( with all accesories )
and what phone would you reccomend for me, between the price range of selling me my x10 and extra +60Euros?
I'm thinking of ''Meizu M9'', ''Samsung Galaxy S'', ''Htc Inspire'' and ''HTC Desire S''.
what would you reccomend me?
Oh and before i forget, how do i know if my phone is locked or not? ( i have a x10i )
Thanks!
I would suggest one of the dual cored phones with 4g. I have heard they are super fast. The atrix, Samsung galaxy 2 or the T-Mobile g2x

yes, but they're twice as expensive as the x10!
nvm, already found, what i was looking for http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9003_galaxy_sl-3761.php
Yea, the SGS i9000 is pretty good.
My mom has one and it is already so quick and responsive even on the stock rom =D
Not to mention that the screen is awesome as well.
Apart from that, it is fully customizable if you are into that kind of stuff.
Is there a 2.3.6 rom for the optimus v? Cyanogen is only up to 2.3.5
Just wait for IHO to update. It pulls from CyanogenMod upstream.
kernel.org is still down after hackers gained access recently, so that's likely what's holding things up.
What they hacked into thats why weere not getting any new roms out latley?? :/
Ohh were getting roms , just roms modified from Mik_os cm7. Ie. Nexuscyano and many others.I give them credit for actually doing so. Just be patient, Andy's busting his balls to get one out and daxelectro is releasing a second version of sonygenmod within the next week. There is still hope for our devices. There is also team envy who I'm pretty sure will create new buzz for the LG optimus forums

Yea but andy should release as he goes I understand he wants it perfect but as its in RC now he should release to find all little bugs

Anyways 2.3.6 does not have anything to do with this phone. It is a small bug-fix update which fixes some bug in the Google talk app in Samsung Nexus S.

true exactly to the point doesn't make sense to update if it brings nothing useful
28 November, 2011
"LG might be slow on the actual upgrades, but at least it’ on time with the announcements. While most of the latest Optimus siblings are getting their first Gingerbread bite just now, LG announces they are all going to taste Ice Cream Sandwich too.
The lucky devices are LG Optimus 3D, Optimus 2X, Optimus Black and Optimus LTE. The upgrade roadmap will be announced in December on the official LG Facebook page.
LG also promises it is exploring its options for bringing the Android 4.0 to some older Optimus smartphones too. So there is a tiny chance the Optimus One and Optimus Chic might get some Ice Cream Sandwich treatment as well."

I think we can only dream about this.
but..
why do we need official update if great devs are working here on ICS and I'm sure it'll be be much faster and stable than LG ****. we already got experience with gingerbread update, so..
We don't NEED lgs update. I think what Andy was trying to say, is imagine the possibilities if big city corps gave indi devs access too resources that could previously only Be accsessed by getting hired at LG.
Ha if only they knew I'm sure Andy,Ciao,Mik, these tru devs could RUN LG! !! Ha

They (lg) could give 1 single rat's ass about our ARMv6.There "upgrade"would be generic at best.ARMv6 is obsolete and will continue to fustrate devs efforts to "fit" all the new crap to run on it now & in the future.Never the less Andy will be sucessful (ICS) and his worst result will blow awayany thing LG might (maybe) have to offer as an upgrade.LG wants to sell you a new phone with ARMvXX & Qualcomm will make even that old when you buy it.I love my O1 p-509 and will probally run it into the ground with andy's port on it.But I would still "hack" any android I buy on XDA.You guys are all the BEST..........Thanks
i'm happy with GB customs..
By the time they release the ICS version.. a new version is already out in the world. lol..

all stock rom's are ****, no matter if you use LG, samsung Huawei or any other manufucator,
they all put in all **** app's and stuffs, even if LG may be slow on upgrade, it doesn't meen that the phone is stupid or LG is not a phone to buy, its the apps and no good resources they put in,
and the custom rom's is always better as they want to increase everything the manufucator has missed
I'm pleased as it is. Phone is ten times better than when I bought it thanks to the guys here. They made the phone even bigger bargain than it was so even if we don't get ICS its not that big of a deal.
I have doubts that LG will update out O1s to ICS, just because the phones on that list are their newer or high end phones. Sure we can run it with the right resources, but they already tried to avoid updating us to GB.
Plus XDA ROMs will always be superior so i'm not worried about LG doing it or not.
Next thing you know its gonna be like gingerbread when they said we needed a 1ghz processor.

is there any developer that is willing to port ICS or CM9 to the LG Ally? i would much appreciate it, this phone is becoming dead and i want it to keep it alive. the AndroidForums site are doing there best to keep development, i think someone should make a Ally thread Thanks for any support or Developers that want to develop.
Thats a pretty old phone and I highly doubt you'll ever see an ICS port. Even if you did it would run pretty poorly on those specs (600mhz processor and 256MB of RAM). You may be able to find CM7 for your phone which would actually be usable.

A Froyo ROM would be snappier on a lower end phone, GB would manage, ICS would run like crap.

There are actually lot of roms running ICS with much less than 512MB of ram and Cyanogen has been quoted to say that you need 256MB, not 512. My Fascinate, which has 384MB of useable ram and is running the newest version of AOKP, runs better than my brother's stock Galaxy Nexus which of course has 1GB. It's just not as simple as saying it doesn't have enough ram.
The problem with the Ally is that it does not have a gpu good enough for any sort of hardware acceleration.
PSA: you are all wrong
The Lg vortex shares the same processor as the ally and the optimus v, both phones run cm9 perfectly smooth, my sister is getting a ally within the next week, i will work on an ics port

Project Gretel is the best CM7 port you will find. CM7.2 for LG Ally is slow and camera does not work. I am actully working on a Gretel with camera flash and GApps. It will be more stock-like. http://www.mediafire.com/download/2f1938w86ubllmb/Viewpoint-Technologies-Gingerbread-for-LG-Ally-RC1.zip

Wow...
It's dead
If I don't make one, nobody will. There are like 5 people in the world with this phone. Even Android 4.0 ICS is old. Get the LG Enact if you need a keyboard.
Howdy!
I have tested now and used about a bajillion roms on my LG Optimus One, and I am actually getting quite bored of CyanogenMod and MIUI.
Right now my P500 is taking a good charge up, after flashing iOSdroid to it this morning... And it isn't that smooth so I really want something new.
A Sense UI port is a big one that I am looking forward to, but it is still a tad too buggy for daily use. What I really want is the Motorola User Interface, or the Sony one.
I have a friend with a Motorola phone with "MotoBlur" on it, and I took it for a test run. Turns out I loved it! Same with the Xperia UI by Sony, it felt good on my other friend's Sony Xperia Play.
So, any of these roms out there? Or anyone gonna port either? I want them haha

What features? We have no front facing camera and no nfc support... camera will be fixed, I know that, and I use it for more than a month and a half and latest version is the only ROM I have ever seen with no lag in any browser page (except touch facebook) and trust me, any other phone wasn't that smooth (tried on GS2... the limit of our phone is the armv6 CPU, that's it
