I was wondering if its possible to remap the camera button away from the track ball and to the volume rocker. This will make it easy to take those self portrait pictures with friends than guessing where the shutter button is on the screen.

I believe he means in terms of every single thing working properly, and the speed being up to par with say a stock Nexus One. I thought to myself that I would never switch from HTC Sense.. but the quickness of Cyanogen is just too nice to withdrawal from. Once we literally get the Desire on our phones (you know what I mean), I will go back.
Opening apps just feels so speedy on Cyanogen mod! I really just can't revert... As much as I want to...

Updated my signature. This one!

As of today is it usable as a main ROM? Also can I install it on top of cm5.0.5.3 or is there some guide that tells us how to go from custom Rom to custom rom?

Agree, trackball is a stupid idea.
Greetings,
The one thing I have seen a lot of people complain here is about the hard keys on our phone wearing out. This is one of the major issues and i face the same problem. On Windows Mobile I rarely use the Hard Keys but on Android they are really used a lot. So my question to all you talented developers out there is..Cant a ROM be made specially for our HD2 with a soft key panel built into the screen ? which is available all the time !!
I know there are some third party apps like Buttonsavior...etc...but its not something which is as flexible as the soft keys in other phones....I have attached a screenshot to express what I mean.
isn't that what tablet tweaks from cm7 attempts to do? haven't seen if they work, personally.

havent heard of em..please be kind enough to elaborate on that
also i found this...not sure how this works...someone please explainhttp://www.xda-developers.com/android/customize-your-samsung-continuum-with-themed-android-soft-keys/
Try the app zmooth - it is on the Android Market * HERE *. You will never need to use the hardware keys apart form the volume and End/Power key.

This is something that is a native feature of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. So check the ICS ROMs and see if the ROM developer has turned it off or left it as a option for the user to decide. Also I know this ROM has it as a option.
Yea, as stated above softkeys in themselves are/can be present in all the ics as standard as the feature ics nexus itself doesn't have any hardware buttons (that i recall).
When I first read your question I thought you were enquiring about if the soft button panel could be present regardless of the state i.e when screen is off, which isn't done. In terms of being able to totally disregard the hard buttons there are proximity sensor apps (as well as some sound apps) that can be utilised to wake the device from sleep, I've used proximity screen off which works well, although i can't report as to using it affects battery life.

I do not think you can do this with a Gingerbread ROM because the onscreen buttons are not part of Gingerbread. But if you want to you can always try it and see what you can come up with. Also it is several launchers for Gingerbread that will give you the onscreen buttons, but I do not think they work with all apps.

allright. thanks again. I shall test it once I have the ICS rom again on my hd2.
I have been using the Atrix for a few months. Last week, I have accessed to a Samsung Galaxy S2 and have played a few games with it. The touch screen on the S2 is very accurate and precise. In comparison, the Atrix touch screen is inaccurate and sluggish, especially if you're touching more than 1 point. This has nothing to do with the 10 seconds timeout that Motorola implemented. It's just the responseness on the touchscreen.
Tell me if i'm wrong, but don't we already have a MOD for that called "Touchscreen MOD (8 points)"
I saw it in the Dev thread under various roms like Darkside and WetDream.
Try it out and see if it helps
Install 'touchscreen booster' in market and select 'Super Optimized.'
Seems to make a difference here.

On a side note do have an idea on what basis this app improves the touchscreen? its good to know how something works too.

Yeah that one. Don't know how it makes it better, but it works so who cares
Just installed. I have been having sensitivity issues along with the device acting like it is being touched along the left side of the screen.
Hey guys, I have to ask:
- Does this device have a bootloader lock such as sony smartphones when purchased from a carrier?
- Is there any sudden death/current bugs/defects I should look out for? (tinted screen, broken hardware buttons, bad touch controls, anything?)
- I see there's unofficial cyanogenmod support, is there anything not working? (gps, camera, nfc? threads don't seem to mention anything broken, is it omitted or there isn't anything to fix?)
- Anything I should do other than read the stickies? Samsung phones have a very important and easily corrupted EFS folder, so I'm on the lookout for anything like this on my next purchase.
Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

If you use autorec it will flash the JB boot loader, and a custom recovery (TWRP) so you can flash ROMs and what not. The only thing I've heard about hardware defects are lines on the screen. Vertical, horizontal and screen spasms altogether. When it comes to cyanogen, I've never used it on this phone. Unless you're one of those must-have-aosp sorta guys, stock ROMs are the way to go. On the other hand, I did use Mahdi for awhile and it was awesome.

- Does this device have a bootloader lock such as sony smartphones when purchased from a carrier?
It has a locked bootloader, yes.
- Is there any sudden death/current bugs/defects I should look out for? (tinted screen, broken hardware buttons, bad touch controls, anything?)
Yes there is. Check the screen. On some phones, the digitizer randomly stops working. Often occurs after a drop.
Check for something like this or something like this.
- I see there's unofficial cyanogenmod support, is there anything not working? (gps, camera, nfc? threads don't seem to mention anything broken, is it omitted or there isn't anything to fix?)
I wouldn''t say "Not working" as much as I'd say not working properly. Camera performance on AOSP is generally horrible and more often than not, a Stock based rom would be the way to go =)
- Anything I should do other than read the stickies? Samsung phones have a very important and easily corrupted EFS folder, so I'm on the lookout for anything like this on my next purchase.
The G2 also has an important EFS partition. It's not as easily corrupted, but make sure you have a backup of it at least.
Don't drop the phone, the digitzer is glued to the LCD - if the screen cracks, your digitizer dies.

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader?
I'm a sucker for AOSP, do you mean the camera has worse quality (as the stock has more options), or does it randomly stop working? Coming from an i9300 I thought this device would have all the necessary sources available for development, or is LG a bad company towards developers?
Also, is anyone compiling AOSP roms with linaro for this phone?

I'll advise you to go for a Nexus 5, One Plus One or wait for something with tons of development for AOSP ROMs like the two I mentioned.
Also there is a risk of permanent black lines that happens to some G2 owners, its suspected that heat is the cause but if it happens to you while flashing you'll have to RMA the phone.
There is a workaround for the locked bootloader. The camera quality is worse on AOSP cause the drivers for the camera are closed source. Development on AOSP ROMs is slow. Best option is stick to stock or stock based ROMs

thanks for asking this question my friend
i just wanted to add :
- how is the over all experience comparing it with samsung - htc devices , i have been using both of them for a while ( i dont like build material in samsung and update process with htc - i read that lg is making progress in this direction ).
- how does it feel after a while like the size,shape, build quality including overall performance .
im very close to buy one but im afraid a little bit - never owned an lg smartphone.
best regard from me

yes it does have a locked bootloader but that has not stopped us from getting recovery/roms/kernels/etc; we use a an exploit in the aboot to bypass the locked bootloader so there is nothing to worry about

none that I am aware of as a shipping device, but if you are an avid flasher(as in you love to constantly flash something new) than you need to be careful because there is permanent screen damage issue which you can read more about here

I am not sure which device(different g2 variants get different roms) you may be planning on getting but already have full official support and everything is working; although experience with aosp is not the best if you get use to the lg stock experience there are actually some great aosp roms(better experience than cm anyways)

I came from an sgs 3 and in the family my parents always getting a Samsung in overall I prefer the look and feel of the g2 but the screen is one of my bad points, it is full glass and very easy to break so I suggest getting a case as a priority and as one of the members pointed out the lcd/digitizer are glued together and it is pretty much impossible to get them separated so replacing is tedious

I came from a generation of small devices since before the sgs3(biggest device I had prior to the g2) I had a lot small devices so getting used to a bigger device was little but difficult but rather quickly and the button placement/knock on and knock code is a great feature and before you know it you will be knocking on all your devices(I spent about a month like that)
build quality is okay for a plastic device it feels nice but it definitely needs a cover to maintain it safe
performance is great, I never experienced any lag; camera took some great pics(in the day because low light performance is bad) and after rooting and installing the modded camera you will enjoy all the improvements in day/low light scenarios; and I use the phone for lots of gaming specifically emulators, so I was able to average about 20 hours a day with heavy ppsspp usage so both performance and battery life are killer
these are all a point of view from a zombiepikachu who is a gamer and lg based roms user and my point of view/experience may differ from others

whats your opinion my friend ( as it seems you had quite some phones )
my personal choice now would be AICP :good:
hi
i just wanted to add that i bought the phone and im glad i did.
great battery life
the screen is great too
a great idea with knock code and power & volume buttons
camera quality could have been better
i just hope i dont get touch screen issues
even better being in xda-developers community

This is a super cool feature that's exclusive to the Note 5 for no good reason... I'd love to be able to take scrolling screen shots on my edge+ but I'm not aware of a way to do that.
Does anyone know if there's a way to port this apk or something? Thanks everyone!

It is already on your phone as Screen Write and all the libs are there too, but you need a pen to activate it which you can't since s pen doesn't work with your device
