this is so stupid like why wouldnt they release it? its not like they would be loosing money or anything.. theyre just making their customers angrier and angrier. LG will surley die out in the next 2 years or so, atleast in the 'high-end' phone industry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tharien:
I imagine they would stand to lose quite a bit against their current phone lineup. If you could by a phone from last year that was on par with this years offering for $100 less, would you?

@engadget @Nvidia @Gizmodo Help #boycottLG! Lack of developer support on the @NVIDIATegra #g2x. #WENEEDSOURCE to utilize all of its power #android #ics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I don't know about that. It sucks that they're not releasing drivers, and it will deter some customers away due to that, but you gotta look at the big picture. The rooting/hacking community counts for probably less than 1 or 2 percent of LG's total consumer base on high-end Android phones. And I'm probably being really generous on that number.

Most people that buy their stuff probably don't even know what Gingerbread is. So with that, this alone won't cripple LG and/or nVidia with selling phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
Bingo.....most people dont even know their android has free google maps navigation....instead they use the bloatware and get charged!

My Response:

Another Email from LG after Responding to the last:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
Let me get this straight nvidia blamed lg and lg blamed nvidia
[T-Mobile LG G2x] opethfan3:
I knew we'd be batted around. Reply in a more positive manner, quoting Nvidia's reply to you? More flies with honey, and catch them in their act, etc?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ed116:
wow this is like wind blaming lG for the gingerbread update and LG blaming wind for the gingerbread update T_T great. nobody wants to release anything. . . nvidia should release it at worst, im sure cyanogenmod will probably get it working :$
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
So...

Uh...

Blame them both now? Or what?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Wow. This thread alone has pushed my interest in the Galaxy Nexus from a two to about an eight. I am probably too impressionable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
How about a dmesg? Permissions issue perhaps?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Mine reboots before I can grab a logcat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
adb logcat should wait for the device and then display the log. does adb shell work? If so please a dmesg.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Yep.

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Exec format error (8)​
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
Getting a logcat won't work as the adb server on the phone itself is not running yet. I am led to believe the issue is the fact that LG's design for this phone is somewhat non standard and I'm thinking the init.rc might be calling something that doesn't exist which is why it's failing. I'll see whats up this weekend probably.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
I went into the /system/bin/ and compared that directory with CM7 and found that some of the files including 'sh' are very small compared to the gingerbread counterparts. I then copied an 'sh' from CM7 and now logcat doesn't even record anything.

I'm not sure which dump siulmagic used, but this one seems somewhat incomplete. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm gonna still keep on working on it never the less.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
Files like that wont matter. I think repacking the boot.img is what's crashing the system but at this point we're flying blind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
I will donate to developers who can manage to get the ICS SDK ROM and the Galaxy Nexus dump (once leaked) to run properly with everything working on the G2X. I would like to see the Galaxy Nexus app dump mixed with the SDK Rom. My Twitter is @ts0cha0tik

Hit me up once you have it working... I will need video proof and will need to run the rom myself. $30 to $50 donation depending on the quality of the build and the constancy updating it. I do not mind donating to you more than once. Just make it happen

Must be working:

Wifi

Data

Mobile Phone

Sync

Gapps

BT

FFC

Widgets
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
So It is the boot.img or more specifically the init.rc that needs to be edited to get it to work. The proprietary LG stuff is whats messing everything up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
I highly doubt this will happen but working toward it anyway
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
All i would like is effort... once a full dump comes out and the source you can complete the rom and ill pay a donation of $50... if you can get it slightly working on g2x ill donate $30 and later once its complete ill donate again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Know what the following errors mean?

error: protocal fault (status read)​

error: more than once device and emulator​

Never seen these before. I did get the ROM to a point where it wasn't boot looping but I wasn't patient enough to see what happens since I got this error. And now I keep getting it no matter what it seems even after flashing a previously boot looping version.

Nevermind

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

I got a new error

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)​

Any ideas? And its not rebooting at this point. Just sitting there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
we barely have all these things working on gingerbread what makes you think it will work on ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
i dnno what your talking about... my gingerbread build on my phone has everything working perfect
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
Very demanding aren't you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Hahaha just like ZeroT said, they arent even totally finished on GB... I'm just starting to feel comfortable on 2.3.7 and ur rushing to 4.0... but its good to see devs like Whitehawk interested!! On the Q/A section (or was the general? Cant remember) there was a guy with a preproduction g2x running a 2.3.4 rom and a newer baseband! Things like these make me feel so excited!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookoomang:
man at this rate whoever comes out with a good ICS rom will be rewarded nicely....ill donate atleast 30 bucks, but must be stable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barmyman:
+1 - to No such directory error - i got that to on my LG Optimus 2x(same device :) actually)

and i think it's rom related - just try to boot with boot.img, for ex. from CM7 - you'll get same error. But what is wrong - i don't know, maybe build.prop...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhreakNJ:
I think that with all the devs that are currently working on porting ICS to the G2x and if we get the assistance of Paul from @android.modaco we should have an amazing team for our ICS port. Thanks guys for your work and commitment.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
We wont see a working build until CM or LG release a build. None of the developers on here other than CM have really developed a fully functional rom without stealing from CM or LG roms. And ICS is a huge change, bigger than honeycomb and no one even has Honey comb on this phone. Plus the amount of work its going to take will be more than a full time job and 50$ is an insult to a real developer willing to put in that kind of work. Id say just calm down and wait for CM they will make one once the source is out then all the other devs will steal it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
It seems like you are speaking with a Rep from Asia with weak English skills. Maybe you can ask him to forward the message to his manager and perhaps mention that nvidia did post the reference and that the drivers are provided by the manufacturer so it is the manufacturers source not nvidias.

Honestly this guy sounds like an idiot. If you invent the wheel and I invent the tire for the wheel, I believe I am free to do,say/distribute my tire in anyway I want.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

LG doesnt seem to care they do not realize consumers have needs. I guess my next move is to wait until cyanogen comes up with a solution or the galaxy. Nexus drops to a realistic phone price range.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
i think LG is right!!! the drivers the developers needs are from NVIDIA, and as LG mentioned it it is a copyright situation. if LG release these driver they can get sue by NVIDIA big time. we need to nvidia but as i seen they had never responded to any message about their drivers..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
If you read the thread carefully you would know that nvidia said it's up to LG to release the drivers or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Man, I love nvidia videocatds and chipsets, but when it comes to opensource and drivers they suck big time. I never liked LG, but bought this phone because it seemed like the top of the line device for a decent price from LG and you would think that the company would take care of their high end stuff. But no, LG still sucks, period. I shouldve known better
[T-Mobile LG G2x] opethfan3:
AMD do seem to have a much better relationship with the OSS community than Nvidia. Nvidia's track record simply isn't looking too hot right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barmyman:
So, there are two things that's left: 1) to port .36 kernel and do everything by our own. 2) try to push harder LG to release any ICS build as official(or leak from somewhere)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baen:
They will always try to blame another entity and talking with public relations rep never goes anywhere when the company is as big as LG... CM_arcee as been in talks with nvidia since he got the grip of the O2X maybe you could talk to him and see where we are about the drivers source, maybe it just needs a little more push or maybe not
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well now what?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fitsnugly:
Best. Development. Thread. Ever.

Edit: My sarcasm was apparently missed. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
You should help the other devs out with this! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
In this case we can ask NVIDIA if they are cool with LG releasing their freaking source code. If they say yes, forward the reply to LG and ask 'em b%tches to RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC !!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dserber:
I still really think that in order to put enough pressure on these companies we need to reach out to the tech blogs. They are the ones that can involve the greatest number of people and i have seen them put pressure on these companies before with some success. Does anyone have any contacts with any of the major ones?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
That is an excellent idea. we are the small guys. nobody will listen to just us. You have to remember these companies sell much more than just mobile devices. That said they are still big companies. We won't get this working with their help but it's worth a shot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Stealth Pyro:
I think once you've managed to get a hold of someone, you'll be able to keep that connection with them in your responses. You should respond with what NVIDIA told us: their source code is totally open and it's up to LG to hand out all the code for the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
I've sent what Nvidia said to LG and what LG said to Nvidia to see how they both respond
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Thats useless... didn't help at all. Using source and some gingerbread files
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
My only suggestion there is to keep it civil and respectful. It still probably won't go anywhere, but you never know. It's an "old" device now, it's silly to keep the code closed, but it IS their right. Another thing to request would be if we can't have source for whatever reason, how about a binary compatible with the ICS ABI? Or even better, a binary with an open-source header interface so we can port it without so much reverse engineering. NVidia does this with their Linux drivers, so when a new kernel comes out, you just have to recompile 90% of the time. And even when you need changes, you can just change a few headers to match up and build.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Wrong thread. I'm not sure that there is a right thread, but this is the wrong thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wvdschel:
Does this work with the (world version) Optimus 2X?

Also, does ICS require the use of a new kernel? Can't we just reuse the 2.6.32 with the old drivers? Why not (don't be afraid to use difficult, technical details, these are exactly what I'm asking for).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chillwill11:
Starting to hate this thread. All I want to read in this thread is ICS development and progress.

Were is a moderator when u need one?

Edit: My post included:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McRabbi:
That's what they did with Gingerbread. I suspect it was less than ideal for most of the community developers . Hence, most of the good ones boycotting further development.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] whoamanwtf:
It is ironic how half of the spam post in here are complaining about spam post.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Charlie Brown:
Well said indeed. We know the situation, so let's try to stay on subject with less rants please.

The fact that progress is being made is great. Who knows maybe the O2x will get ICS in January or February. Then our devs can have a system dump to work with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
go away!

You have done nothing but tell people they should live with low quality work done by LG and for me i tired of it.

this post shows your ignorance.

all that is being asked for are drivers for the g2x. they wont work on another piece of hardware thus they aren't giving anything to other manufacturers.

even if their is some of their overlay crud in it they definatley don't have to worry about someone else taking it trust me.

you apparently dont need any custom roms that need drivers and source so the QUESTION is why are you here.

The g2x has been a headache since it was purchased. many of us were stupid in 2 ways. we believed the timeframes that were given to us that pushed us past 14 days. and we believed and thought that such update would actually be in high quality.

XDA is all about custom roms and devices getting updates they would not otherwise get.

since this is not in your interest do us a favor and leave!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
All of those are just simply ports, unless we get nvidia source code, which will never happen. It's pretty useless

Unless someone leaks it by accident or lg will give us ics. LG has no right to give someone else's source code.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Guys posting your hatred for nVidia and LG is useless on XDA. I think we should spam the **** out of LG and nVidias Facebook wall.

When HTC announced locked bootloaders everyone trashed their FB walls and a week later then announced that were gonna reconsider unlocking the bootloaders. Maybe we should try that? At lease ppl that have no idea what we're talking about will hop on the bandwagon if they see **** ton of posts on their wall.

That is such a bad idea lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] opethfan3:
Development has a roadblock without NV drivers, therefore we are talking about that.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
So after reading through all the previous posts and this entire thread it has become a big waste of time based on the last two posts (one from nvidia and other from Fits) lol. I guess the lesson learned here is do not doubt the CM team nor bug them for updates or they will blow you off and keep you uninformed (had this thread fooled that they weren't working on it when had it booting since thanksgiving). Appreciate the hard work the other devs put into this however.

Cheers and I think a donation is due to CM!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Since CM has beat us to the punch by a long shot I just want to thank everyone for the support and positive feedback we have been getting since day one. :)

It's up to the developers to continue development or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
I for one greatly appreciate all of the developers hard work. Thanks a million guys!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Please don't stop. Our devs have made it so far. With a little time I think we could hack the video drivers (unless CM/Arcee share the drivers w us). Like Azi said though "It's up to the devs".

Luv u guys for everything u did up until now!! Keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Dameon just said he will continue the build but he will wait for the CM code and improve on it (If possible) so he can do everything properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
MUCHAS GRACIAS to azuskes, siulmagic, dameon,nai, morfic, and the other devs that worked on ics day and night. Guys made a shht load of progress. Grateful you guys banded together cuz we had no one else try (xcept cm of course)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Thanks for letting us know & not keeping us in the DARK :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
Honestly, if they have mostly everything working already there isn't going to be too much to improve upon. I do hope that the repos are updated for CM, so that we can atleast review the code though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
There's something to be said for a healthy AOSP alternative to Cyanogen... CM has always had issues on specific devices due to their "one size fits all" attempt at avoiding device-specific changes whenever possible. Plus, CM has itself become essentially the same as touchwiz or sense, adding its own layer on top of vanilla android, slowing development and adding complexity. Not that CM is bad - it's a great force in the community - but I'd love to see a device specific AOSP project continued.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x0xhellx0x:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] siulmagic:
we shoudent really give up, since cm team will probably bucher the framework, and add all there framework edits and custom settings(witch i hate). but yea all the cm stuff can be easily removed. up to dameon mainly and ttbhal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
I agree we need both, but let's not attack cms work. Them guys are great. Half the roms wouldn't be here without their source code. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Damn you fits!!! Always teasing us...I think I have blue balls.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
so im assumming that once testing is done. the CM team will post this rom on this forum???

I just want to know where i shoudl look
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yes, but it'll hit their website first. And I'm sure you'll see it all over most Android blog sites or Twitter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
Nicely put sir..only ones that required our attack was lg/nvidia. That said I look forward to a cm release as well as using an ics rom from the devs here because I witnessed..greatness and all the effort they put in. The more the merrier. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Not this thread unless they would like me to do it which I highly doubt lol. I don't got it like that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
i know not this thread but on this forum
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
oh yeah once they choose to release
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Hehe.. I knew the cm guys had to have something going... I also figured they would be first out. acree is an amazing dev. I'm interested in using their changes when they post them and perhaps making an aosp base rom.

And if nvidia follows through, that's huge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ultma75:
So quick question, will y'all release the rom that was being worked on in this thread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I've been feeling the hate was a little premature....

Also saw this story today:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/30/the-first-ice-cream-sandwich-android-tablet-surfaces-in-china/

What's interesting is it's a TEGRA 2 tablet running ICS from a chinese manufacturer... Looks like NVidia is making sure there's some ICS for Tegra 2 on a number of fronts. Maybe they'll surprise us yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Although CM will be doing their ICS flavour, I hope that others won't be discouraged from developing their own. Part of the announcement from NVIDIA was about the release of Tegra reference drivers for Android 4. Hopefully NVIDIA will provide the documentation, etc., which will allow independent developers to fully utilize the drivers. I wonder if our efforts, pleas, etc., on xdadevelopers, pushed them along in doing that. The NVIDIA announcement shouldn't let LG off the hook in providing ICS for the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Just need someone buy it, dump the ROM. and see what we get.

I can if I'm going to China.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Yes, They answered XDA developers on their developer portal first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
So they didn't release anything that will help us YET correct? :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Correct. It won't be for a while which is the sad part. They aren't just doing it for the G2X but for ALL tegra devices and they are also going to construct a Nvidia specific version of android for Tegra devices if I read the message correctly if not please correct me.
