[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
LETS OCCUPY LG AND NVIDIA, this is our generation and we are entitled to the work product of companies, its our right, open source, open everything, why should these companies profit from work on a OS that is being given away.

Here is our plan

1. Keep calling them up, let them know that even though LG is working on the ICS release for the G2x and siblings lets let them know that its just not fast enough, if ICS is release for one phone it must be released for the G2x.

2. Call up OUR contacts at the company and plead with them to support the G2x community on XDA. Then when they come over and read the thread, be sure that the thread has tons of messages calling the managers and decision makers morons, fools and idiots, make sure they know just what despicable a-wholes we think they are.

3. Keep on saying that if LG which is figuring out how to make a spec standard android device work well, that all off their engineers work must be made available to the their competitors. And also enthusiasts. Who cares if it enables other knock off competitors from offering the same devices for cheaper prices so what, we all deserve the source code. I know that nobody gives the source code, and you have to pay an arm and a leg to get the rights to modify source code with any other software, but this is open, this is a community, we have the right to all the work of the LG engineers, we bought a phone.

4. Make sure that LG and NVIDIA know that our demands must be met, sure we will never buy anything ever made by them again, as we must keep posting and saying, so unless they read the message board where the requests for the source code is coming from, we will be fine.

5. Start tweeting, go to the offices and OCCUPY them, don't leave the lobby for the entire day until the senior managers cave in. Create web pages trashing them, and tell them after they cave we will erase the messages.

7. I know this sounds a bit like extortion, but remember, OPEN SOURCE, open open open, it does not matter how many man-years LG puts into creating the sources code and the modifications, it must be given to all their competitors, and us too. So unless they given in, we will hurt them, boycott them, occupy them, destroy them, destroy their reputations, all they have to do is give in, then their pain will go away. From time to time we will come by, and demand more code from them, but they will be happy to do so, because we offer them protection.

8. WE SHALL DEMAND A SHRUBBERY

9. We are talking about how quickly we can scroll through menus, some pretty ICONs, and a bunch of functionality that can be found elsewhere already, but will be woven into ICS. So this is huge. Think of the ramifications if we have to wait 2 months before the update. That means some others get it first, and that is not fair. I know we could all sell our phones and get the official phones with the ICS release, with better hardware, and for the entra cost of about 100 or so dollars after selling our G2x get the latest phone, but why should LG subject us to that. After all none of us will ever buy LG again.

So to summarize.

Trash the companies, say that we will never buy from them again, keep posting that the companies suck, and it was only by accident we bought this phone, that we could have returned easily. Occupy, or for lack of a better word, continue the extortion, until they relent by giving up their hard work so all the competitors can bring to market products that will cannibalize their sales, and then, then we can get ICS on this crappy phone, just in time for the next generation of hardware to come out, and then we all buy Samsung.

OKAY everyone OKAY and this is the most important thing, nobody pay for any APPS, stop supporting those developers, until the hardware developers give in, if someone develops an APP on our OPEN SOURCE, we have the right to that too. Its easy just take the rooted ROM with the device drivers from LG, and then you can install all these apps for free.

Remember with Open Source nobody is entitled to profit, or get paid for the development, all that is community based, we just leverage off the evil corporations.

I am going to start a thread about a march I think we should do.

MIC CHECK MIC CHECK, LG YOU SLIMBALLS GIVE US THE SOURCE CODE, THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM YOU AGAIN.

MIC CHECK

Again if you are calling up LG or Nvidia be nice on the phone, then come back here and report on what A-holes they are, that is key, I have never heard of that not working.

To the OP and your continued plan of humiliating those who you want something for free.....good work

OCCUPY LG..... this is the most important thing EVER, think of the those ICONs and screen fonts.....WE CAN DO IT.
