Whats so special about ogp???? Nothing....
Software is poor on lg.....updates are poor....if its about lcd then htc is way to go....if not then samsung....
Every phone nowadays has 4 cores and 2gb ram....what makes them good is software....
So do you think ogp can beat nexus4 ????
Be happy with your benchmarks ....
From a regular distance 1080p and 720p are the same
And btw....if you think samsung does not releases source code.....then first look at your android development forum and then talk....ogp does not even have 5 good roms and look at note 2 forum ...overloaded with roms and kernels and other awsomeness...
No but this thread is somewhat annoying and not needed. Thread Closed.

Moderators/Admin, please add an
"Original Android Development" Topic for galaxy grand duos
And please remove it from ''Legacy and Low activity devices'' section.
As many developers are working for grand and more roms are pouring in every day.
You may want to PM one of the moderators...
Umm...i also agree with the point... But some part of me says that we cant move it from low end..
I mean..think abt it this way brothr..they kept it in low end devices , because of its specifications...(hardware limitations)..
Poor broadcomm chipset is the main reason..and so is resolution...so is in mid activities (correct me if i m wrong brother).
I mean..even if we get kitkat,and many amazing kitkat based roms...
I dont think still it makes our device specs powerful right? Still we are having same broadcomm processor...same specs... Just the soul in changed ..(thanks to all devs).
I mean..galaxy s2 is maybe not in low end devices right?(i cud ve wrong, havnt checkd ..i m 99% sure it isnt)..bcoz it got more performance chipset and its resolution is perfect w.r.t its screen size...(thats why many heavy games are officially supported for it ,while we haven't got that cake piece )..
I really like ur point and even i wud wish this cud happen... But truth to be told...device is not that powerful..(just the soul is ..kitkat power ..)..
Sorry if wrong n idiotic me

The power of the device doesn't affect why our forums is in the low activity section... It is just because of that, it has low development activity. I still see LG Optimus Black forums in the main page, not the legacy or low activities, despite its old age (almost 4 years) and low spec for todays standard (1 GHz single core with 512MB RAM). That is because there are lots of people who just can't get rid of using and modifying it.
Now I know that Grand has a large userbase (infact it is one of the best selling phones in some countries) but it doesn't mean that there is a lot of development interest for this device. The vast percentage of the market for Grand is ordinary people who doesn't even know or care about their Android's version number. This is in contrast with the Nexus 5 buyers, for example.
Moreover dual SIM phone = low coverage in western media because no western carrier really wants a dual SIM phone = low popularity in XDA
But, at least the moderators should add a "Original Android Development'' Section
Hi there people,
I have my DHD from Jan 2012 and back then two core phones were quite expensive, now with KitKat android it seems the phone is quite fast but still one core is one core, trying to do multiple things and the phone seems slow. Also if you are in hurry and you want to make a phonecall while having some apps open makes the process SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW
So I'm thinking of upgrading, but some phones cost quite much and I did like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 spec-wise but I didn't like the price. The best price I could find it in my country is 560Euro + 5Euro(shipping) to my door.
So I though why not buy a clone with the new Chinese 8 core processor(which isn't overheat) and performs quite good(and WAY better than the DHD)?
Price? $259.99(without shipping) or around 190 Euro
From what I see here: http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/01/06/goophone-n3-v-s-samsung-note-3-whats-different-on-benchmark/
(Goophone N3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3) the difference is about 27.3% which is not much while the performance/price ratio is perfect.
What do you think?
P.S. I'd prefer if the Goophone N3 had many custom roms available but that will come eventually if more and more users are buying this phone. This Chinese 8 core processor is quite new so it will take some time before we'll see any custom rom laying around.

I have been searching the chinese market for quite some time and i found that mediatek (MTK) processors are pretty much closed source, So don't expect to many custom roms exept for some chinese ones like miui/lewa OS. I will probably buy a chinese phone but not one that is powered by a MTK processor but i'm mostly for the oppo find 5 wich has forum here on xda it also has Snapdragon quad core 1.5 Mhz , 13 mp sony camera , nfc ,steel frame , dlna , and the is fully gpl comliant and open source. :victory: . you can take a look at it here

I know about oppo mate, also they will have soon the find 7. But it's not as expensive as it should. I mean you can get a Xiaomi Mi3 with snapdragon 800 at the same price with 64GB on board (300E for 16GB and 350E for 64GB) - the problem is that you can't easily find that
P.S. If cyanogenmod could support MTK processors it would be a real game-changer. Cheap 8 core phone with similar performance as some of the top-line phones.
EDIT: Alternative you can see phones like this "Faea F2 Elite" and the company is working with cyanogenmod to bring some life to the phone. Source: http://www.gizchina.com/2014/01/17/cyanogenmod-faea-f2s-getting-closer/
So if a cyanogenmod version exists(if they complete it), it would be a Chinese phone with MTK cpu and open source android . Based on that I expect CM to roll on many Chinese devices(officially or unofficially)
I've seen the "Alcatel One Touch Idol X+" also know as TLC Idol X+ S960 with a pricetag of 300E (runs at 2GHz 8 core MTK) and performs quite good also it accepts microsd cards(up to 32GB), the only thing is the 2500mAh seems a bit low for a 5" phone but it's quite enough for most of the things. I'm thing it very seriously as I can get it without much hassle.

For the past year i have been going on and off about buying one of those phones. I probably will but untill i see a fully gpl compliant mtk phone/phablem i's sticking with snapdragon . I want an oppo find 5 because i have played with one for a few days on cm rom and it is magnificent compared to my DHD. And it ships from EU warehouse so no more import taxes. I also liked zopo very much and thl and gionee and the list could go on and on and on :highfive: But frankly i thing we should switch to some of these " no name" phones so that brands like samsung ot htc or lg could lower the prices to a more resonable value . Some devices are pure rip-offs

You can instantly forget any proper support for than knock-off. I would expect some more unexpected drawbacks from it as well.
IMO better go for used proper smartphone, than brand new some hyeagizil.

Oppo is a great phone but price is not better than any other brand phone. Oppo N1 has a snapdragon 600 at 1.7GHz and costs 449E from their Europe store, it's not exactly a bargain and although you can get it with either CM or colour-something(their os based on android), I hear that there are still lot of bugs
P.S. No 4.4 support ..yet

That's the only problem.. the support, the lack of CM roms and if for any reason you have a problem you can turn to no one as the people who have it probably don't don't more than you..

I've got a mediatek tablet and it's dual core @ 1.5ghz with 1gb ram and it lags worse than any device I've had... At the beginning there was no lag, over time (3 months) it started to happen. The build.prop was modified for any graphical usage to be low density which is how it had no lag...
Before buying anything Chinese make sure the specs are correct (as in do a test) many cheapos are clones of the Chinese device :0
Also before you buy ask the seller for firmware as they are well hidden...

Hi,
I ask here for your help because I am planning to buy a new phone in the near future, and I am currently deciding between the One S with Snapdragon S4 and the One X with Tegra 3.
I would be very, very grateful if someone could tell me which one is better from the perspective of custom ROM development. Which one has more stable and less buggy CyanogenMod or similar AOSP-based ROMs? I've been lurking here in the One S and One X sections for some time and I can see that neither of those two phones is bugless, but I don't know how severe these problems are, if it is a dealbreaker or you can live with it. Also I get the feeling that the Tegra 3 is lacking in terms of development support and Qualcomm devices are better suited for future development. Is that so or am I wrong?
Another thing which I consider is the display quality, although it is not the main one. I know that the One X has a denser screen with better color reproduction than the One S, due to being an LCD panel, but the blacks are not as deep as the AMOLED on the One S. Is there a big difference? Do the blacks shine too much at night? It would be very cool if someone could post a good photo of the One X displaying a black screen at night.
Just one more question, how does the picture quality from the Sense camera compare to picture quality from CyanogenMod? I know Sense takes better pictures because it is optimized for the hardware, but is it a big difference?
Thank you really much for your answers, I aprecciate your help.
PS.: I posted a similar question here in the One S forum, if you want to take a look.
This is what HTC says on Reddit (and that answers the part about Nvidia vs Qualcomm quite honestly):
To address an issue that’s top of mind for many folks here, we recently announced that we wouldn’t be updating the HTC One X and One X+ beyond Android 4.2. Without the support of our chip manufacturer Nvidia, it made a global update of One X and X+ devices impossible. However, in US the One X uses the Qualcomm chip and an upgrade would be possible, but we didn’t think it would be a good experience for our customer base to update the X, but not the X+. This update caused a huge stir amongst owners and we’ve heard you loud and clear, so we’re now actively exploring how we can make the jump to 4.4.

So, Qualcomm FTW. But one thing I can't understand is how the Nexus 7 2012 got KitKat, when it's using the Tegra 3 too. It still feels like Nvidia abandoned it on 4.1, though.

The nexus 7 has the T30L while the OneX/X+ use AP33/37. Nvidia still provides support for T30L but not for AP3x.

Hi !, i´ve been without a smartphone for about 10 months and im currently contemplating getting a zenfone 2, the 4gb of ram version obviously, and i´ve been thinking how does the future looks for the zenfone 2? i mean sure, asus has already released the kernel source and most would think "OMG great! ROMs galore incoming!!" but that doesn´t seem to be the case. also, as far as updates go, for some reason i don´t see the zenfone 2 getting past an android 5.1 update.
maybe it is very hard (or just a pain in the ass) to develop for the intel cpu ?
im also considering the alcatel onetouch idol 3 wich everyone seems to love specially because of the price (and those JBL speakers), but im also considering getting a samsung galaxy alpha because the snapdragon 801 version sits right in the middle of the two price wise (check amazon US) , and the alpha camera records 60fps video wich i love, i know the LG G3 originally didn´t have 60fps video but got it later from right here on XDA,
so do you think the comunity will warm up to the ZF2 and start getting content out? (like a mod to capture 60 fps video on the zenfone 2 later down the road)
i don´t usually start threads but i just want to know what people think!.
Asus hasn't unlocked the boot loader yet, which will interfere with development...There's root so users can enjoy that at least. Unfortunately it'll be awhile until Asus releases an easy method to solve this obstacle.
Other devices have methods to bypass locked bootloaders, but nothing like that exists for the Zen.
"I'd Totally Hug You, If That Was Something I Did"
There's a few threads similar to this one already. Perhaps join in the discussion on one of those threads. Or you could ask specific questions here,

It's been months since m9 was launched but still we find very less development here compared to other recently launched phones .. There isn't any official cyanogenmod projects for the device yet,nor there are many custom kernel options. There aren't much activity in general except on sense rom.. Is it because less and less people have bought m9?
I am sure we would love to see more ROM and kernel options.

I noticed this however going from S4 to M9 is a huge difference. 2 years there abouts and samsung and a few other brands have a larger fan base who will ALWAYS buy those phones and so development is much more frequent.
Give it time and im sure things will pick up, especially once the CM team crack it and deliver what will undoubtedly be an awesome rom. That will pave the way for more AOSP / CM style roms which im very much looking forward to
have faith mate.
You mean compared to the S6? If you think this place is slow, go check those forums out. Considering how many more of those have sold, compared to the M9, S6 development is dead as a doornail.
From what I've seen, development for anything not Nexus has slowed quite a bit. Not as many people are modding their phones, I think because Android and the manufacturer skins have picked up a lot of the mods people used to want to root for.
That being said, things should pick up once CM is official.

The development is slow because of the exynos chipset. IF it was snapdragon, the story wouldn't be the same.

The development here is slow because of the 64 bit processor. If it was 32 bit, the story wouldn't be the same.
Most mods have become baked into roms. Hell we can theme easily now. What's the real point of having 70 copies of the same thing.

what are you talking about there is atleast 10 different ROMs and CM12.1 almost fully working
