How's the restart issue with the phone? Seems XDA people are blowing up about this, but here there doesn't seem to be a lot of people affected by it.

Looking for some views on this.....it's the only thing stopping this from being a great phone. Even CM7 doesn't seem to help?

Ok, thats good to know. I guess it's better to go for ori set, then, just to be safe so can easily exchange if theres any problem.

Hi, can you PM me which seller you bought from? In garage sales you can only get AP for that price.....

Wow, are you flashing every single nightly? Is there a major difference between nightlys? I don't really bother with my Legend's CM, coz the devs don't really put in new improvements or commits every nightly release. I usually flash every 5-10 nightlys, and even then the improvements are not much.

Anyways, nice to see CM7 on this phone. Certainly it's making me lean towards this phone more......I think I saw MIUI in the works for O2X too.... nice to see the dev community active for this phone (unlike my HTC legend )

Best is find a stable nightly for you and stick with it......until the next best one comes along

No, not exactly true. AFAIK there are no ROMs that automatically convert your SDCard. You normally have to format it to ext4 manually.

Even if that's the case, a nandroid backup should work no matter what filesystem your SDCard is. ext4 should only affect the performance of the card, and open up more options like sd-ext.

Anyhoos, I still have a week plus before I decide between this and SGS2. I'm leaning more towards this, since it can play all games (where SGS2 currently can't) and of course cheaper. How's the battery like? My current Legend battery sucks, with CM7 and push email on. Usually I can get about 8-10 hours per charge.

The basic thing about root is that it allows access to system files. That in turn allows you to do things like:

Install custom ROM
Theme your phone
Backup your phone

Usually custom ROMs are the main reason, as most will include tweaks that increase performance.

Example there are custom kernels out now that frees up 64MB RAM and allows overclock to 1.5ghz. Fun stuff like that
