At this moment im playing with a nexus one (tmobil). I have a evo 4g with sense and bugless beast rom. The rom made my phone snappier and i have not use a task killer or rebooted it since i installed the rom. This rom (i have not try other roms yet) is still has fast as day one when it was install. Playing with the nexus one and the stock 2. 1 rom is actually choppier than mt evo. Scrolling and on the web. This is my sister phone and rhe only app she has install is app killer and some games. I did a reboot to see if would make a different and still choppier than my evo. I played on both raging thunder 2. And both ran about the same with similar fps. The onlt different is the nexua screen look alive with more vibrant color.
I believe that with a custom rom the nexus is faster but the nexus has been out for a long time already. In my opinion, the evo 4g will be just has good. Give it a few month cause this is only thebbeginning for the phone.
It is the one without a 3.5mm jack so It has less than 200mb of ram... I was planning on running CM 6.0 on it.. anyone know how good it performs in this case?
I think if its rooted its worth it
I am not too sure about the price, but I was running CM5 on my G1 and just switched over to a MyTouch and installed CM5 on it. There is a considerable amount of difference in speed and it is pretty smooth. Now I just miss my keyboard...
having recently bought an original mytouch 3g used ($100), I wish I had gotten the newer version with the built-in jack, that adapter is a pain
I have the black MyTouch3G, and have been flashing Cyanogen ROMs on it ever since I bought it last October. Of all the Cyanogen ROMs I've put on it, I think 5.0.8 (Eclair) is the fastest and most stable one yet. Tried his 6.0.0 (Froyo) one on it, and just had too much instability on it. Is it worth $120? I totally think so. The only question you should ask is how much the phone was used, because with as much as I use my phone I think my battery is slowly losing its umph. I still love my phone though.
Not to Jack the thread but have you tried wiping your baterry data to recalibrate?

I have a black my touch 3g running chromatic 4.2 for about a week now. Lovin every minute. No prob. here at all. Fast and smooth. Looks good too. I think it would be worth it
Ive never been a fan of the mytouch line just because im a fan of vanilla android but someone offered me a trade the only reason why I would do it is because of the ffc, and are there any vanilla roms I can flash?
Considering the same swap. Need to get the wife a phone, so I'm passing on my G2 and getting a MT4G. It's a hard decision, as the G2 is now free with contract on the t-mobile site, but I'm not a keyboard fan and would rather have the slimmer phone with more RAM.
I would do it as long as you know for a fact that the MT4G works great and has the superior screen.
You can put on Cyanogens 6.1 on there, it's a RC but CM7 is coming along nice.
Other than that, there is a stock G2 rom for this too, it should be somewhere on the forums.
And I'm coming from a G2 myself so yeah, I really enjoy this phone. Took a couple days to get used to not having a keyboard but it's good from there on.
Oh and the battery life sucks compared to the G2, I remember I would get about 2 days with Cynaogens 6.1 rom, and even with the cyanogens rom on this, I get about 8-10hours with moderate to heavy usage...
I went from G2 also...i like the MT4G much better.

Also came from the G2. The radio on the G2 was horrible.... I hated the sense version on the MT4G but i've now got normal sense on the phone and all is wonderful.....
I've owned both a G2 and MT4G (and a Nexus S)
and without a doubt the MT4G is the fastest and best.
If you can do without a keyboard go for it.
I had Swype on my Nexus One and thats all I've used for months now.
I didnt use the keyboard when I had a G2.
I like both phones, I have both. Mt4g is a tad bit better and we do have cm6 and cm7 runs great.

This.
Keyboard on the G2 was nice, that and the fact that it's a G2, but the MT4G is a beast. NS was meh. Pretty to look at, and that's about it.
The MT4G is a superhero when it comes to hardware, and CM6 and CM7 are both stable enough to be daily drivers. I almost never use the FFC, but I know I wouldn't ever use the physical keyboard and I really like having the extra RAM. The physical buttons are a nice touch too.
Overall I'm in love with this thing, just make sure you read up on the good display vs. bad display issue. It's easy to test through Terminal with the DMESG command, root NOT required.

MT4G = very fast and powerful phone IF you get lucky, otherwise you will be plagued with the ****tiest quality control to date which can easily get you through 3-5 warranty exchanges.
You will also need a custom ROM to make it very fast and powerful, out of the box it has pissed poor battery life and gets real laggy.
Most custom ROMs have problems with FFC
G2 = Very fast and powerful and great battery life out of the box. The keyboard config make it kinda big and I go worst reception than with the MT4G by a tinny bit.
I didn't miss the extra RAM when I was using the G2, there's really no need for all that in Android.
I miss the keyboard, but not the bulk.
The part about plain Android not needing extra ram is true. On CM7 I usually about 400mb of free ram.
The MT4G with CM7 is the greatest phone I've ever used.
Evil ported the G2 ROM so you can use the exact same ROM with better hardware

I did exactly this only yesterday and am extremely happy with my decision. This phone is allot quicker, no worrisome hinge and this screen I think is allot more enjoyable to look at! Also the only thing I used the keyboard for on the G2 was emulators!

i have to agree fully.
Did the swap Wed. Wife is happy with the G2 as it just sits in a pouch in her purse. I'm actually faster typing on the Gingerbread soft keyboard, the phone is much thinner in the pocket and CM7 is running nearly perfectly (as long as you use Tango or Yahoo vs Qik for FFC video conferencing).
If I was sticking with stock, I would seriously consider sticking with the G2 though, as the MT4G ships with so much OEM crapware and Sense bloat, it's hard to even find your apps in the drawer (which looks like a lame iPhone rip because of the Sense ROM).
I had a hd2 and just got this today I was on miui 1.8.5. It was a windows phone converted to android. Where this already is. Is glitches out in the 4g or should I stay stock.

Glitches are in stock, so go flash
Sent from... It doesn't matter!
I too came from HD2. Love the battery life. Last me full day on light to moderate use.
I liked stock with bloat removed, but now too trying to flash. For some reason this is second MT4G that is not working with root.sh method.
if you liked MIUI on the HD2, youll love MIUI on the MT4G. I also had an HD2 as my toy while the 4G was my daily. the only thing I miss about that phone was the bigger screen, but thats it. the stock rom on the 4G isnt all that great IMO, and pretty much all the other roms in the dev section blow it out of the water! root that baby and flash your heart out (just make sure to do some reading first tho)
I'm receiving a white Nexus S in a couple of days running Bugless Beast (I believe its running the latest nightly). I'm just wondering if I can get some feedback on the ROM from the people who use it.
From a little of what I've read it seems to be a very well known ROM and developer. I've never had a "Pure" Google phone so I'm a little excited to see what it can do and so forth.
I know there's a thread about his announcement but I really don't feel like reading through 49 pages.
Thanks.

It's very close to a stock Android experience, and it's fast. You don't get a lot of the extra features like you do with other ROMs like CyanogenMod or Modaco's (to name a couple), but it's really nice on performance.
Also, if you don't like it, you can always flash a different ROM.
I heard the ICS update has had mixed feelings about battery life, some say its better some say its worse, hows this ROM on battery usage?

battery life will definitely vary between handsets. With my experiences its all luck. Some roms I would get decent battery life, other roms, not so much. This is coming from a person who tried every ics rom other there.

i followed pete all the way up with my crespo and i can say his gingerbread roms are very good. they run smooth and stable even the instable nightlies. maybe the consumption should be lower but when i changed kernel(s)/rom(s) i always experienced instability or higher consumption. so my advice is to keep a "clean" pete rom. it's a good compromize.
regarding his ics roms ... i'm not not completely convinced e.g. the kernel is far from the best. however, it's just the beginning. i hope it ending up as the GB series.
Is there a main recovery for the Nexus S? Or does everyone just use Koushs CWM (ROM Manager)?

There's only two I have really seen, CWM and TWRP both are similar but TWRP has a few features cwm does not have.
1)TWRP is touch enabled
2)TWRP lets you choose which partitions to backup
Well that's all I know atm xD

I'm now using the latest 5 Jan BuglessBeast + Eugene 3.1.6 ICUP kernel,
cpu governor is smartassv2 and the result is an awesomeness. Really fast and smooth.
It's a close-to-stock vanilla rom. No visual UI mods but system enhancement and
optimization. Pete is a really good and well known developer.
It's also less power consume. The battery now is 66%, 12 hours usage.
I did some phone calls & a lot messages through SMS, MiTalk and WhatsApp.
A suggestion : you must try it yourself
TWRP has a recovery for the Atrix as well but it's still rather new, not many people have used it.
That's pretty good battery life considering you made voice calls and a lot of texts. I'll have to try that setup.
Thanks for the info.

I see your on the Atrix now. I had the Atrix for about 1 week. I couldn't stand it. The UI is nothing compared to that of the pure Google phone. The motoblur UI made the atrix seem laggy over the nexus s. I've been using the nexus s ever since and never regretted it. Still have my Atrix in my drawer.
As for the bugless beast. I'm using it now and it's great. No force closes of apps or anything. Theres one for ics and GB out there. I would reccomed Eugene's speedy kernel 3 for battery life. If you need help with BFS and CFS and which you should pick just let me know and I'll help. Welcome to the nexus family. You'll love it.

Thanks alot! Might need to take you up on that once I get the Nexus. I've heard from quite a few people recommending Eugenes speedy kernel, ill have to see what kernel its using already and go from there.
I agree that the motoblur on. The Atrix was pretty bad, but with custom roms like Darkside and CM7 based roms it makes the phone so much better. Should try it sometime.
