I am pretty sure you are one of those people that thinks if they are not watching their football team, that other team will score, or if you leave the room that you caused something to happen.

The "boycott_insert your name here" thing is simply a joke. You know that some lady in occupy wall steet thinks she made Bank of America cave into her will, because she did a Mic Check wanting the fees to be removed. Sure it was here, just like it was #BOYCOTTNVIDIA. Or it could have been the millions of customers lined up to walk away from BofA if the fees were changed. Heck you could attribute it to Jay Leno more than any Occupy thing, or just a simple survey of customers.

Specifically here:

1. NVDA was already working Motorola XOOM, they did not change any plans, those plans are still proceeding unchanged. They told you that. They also told you that Google holds the keys.

2. Nvidia told you that as they always do, they are working on a full set of drivers and patches to make the Tegra 2/3 work and run the latest OS, in this case ICS. They said they are already doing this, it continues, unchanged, and certainly they did not start it because you or anyone else was having a tantrum. You buy a Nvidia video card from some generic chinese card manufacturer, you get the reference design with chips purchased from Nvidia, you go Nvidia and download the drivers to make it work with Windows 7, even though you bought it for Vista.

In other words its the core business for Nvidia to support the Tegra 2 processor, it is a current product, still be manufactured, remains the fastest cellphone chip, until the release of the Tegra 3. The G2x is as close to a reference design Android as you will find.

So what did Nvidia change? Well it amounts to simply a notification that they are continuing their business practices. You got a pat on the back yes you did, a note saying "we are doing that".

ICS was always coming to the G2x via LG, that is not changing, the product manger for the G2x if they read XDA is just going to not say a word until they just release it, why talk to the crazies until its done.

I better go back to watching the game, if I don't our team will lose, I am doing it for the people. So yah you did it man, you did it all, atta boy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Jerk.

Yeah, even if they didn't get NVIDIA to completely rework their business and support models, at least they got an answer. These companies never give personalized answers on these types of issues, so just getting an intelligent response from one of the reps is enough for me to say...

Good job guys!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Perhaps you should speak for yourself instead of attempting to be the spokes-model for the stupid. The same errors you already are self attributing to your own stupidity, are the same presumptions you are making for these magical drivers that are being withheld.

In other words if you are having issues, your issues are not going to be solved by ICS, if you phone has problems now, the current batch of Weapon, EB, Tegis/BAKA and the rest should have solved your problems. Do you get that, if something is broken, either the stock 2.3.3 or the custom ROMs better have it fixed for you....because ICS won't be different. Comprendo?

IF YOU WANT ENHANCED FEATURES, yes ICS will have benefits. LG is bringing ICS to G2x and her sisters, and if they are taking too long, CM ICS running on the G2x much faster.

I am pretty sure that insulting LG and saying that you will never buy an LG product again, is not going to make them stop bringing ICS to the G2x as they are planning, but its bad form, and makes G2x owners look like chumps.

Most of us who buy phones with 2 year contracts, like the phone, or we take it back before getting locked in, or we sell it, and start over. I am sorry you live inside your G2x hell, but its just the third way you are......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
By the sounds of it u r correct. The Nvidia statement says ics will be released early next year, does that mean between Jan & April or does it mean like Jan & feb?

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

We stated our opinion & communicated w Nvidia & LG. In return we let them know what we need from a company in the Android open source market & they let us know what their plans are. I guarantee u that what we did here in this thread opened Nvidia's eyes, even if just a little. They have never released source for drivers before but now they are. So do yourself a favor & keep your so called self opinionated "knowledge" to yourself. We get it, your not for the occupy movement. You weren't here on day 1 when we started this project so there's no need for your presence now since there's nothing productive or helpful coming from you. Remember this maggot "Those who say that it can't be done should not interfere with those who are doing it"

Where's your mama at ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Here we are happy that ICS is coming to the G2x officially, and unofficially via CM7. We're all happy and proud that being vocal on what we want at the very least gave us a response from nVidia themselves.

BUT only on XDA where there's that one guy that wants to to be a know-it-all **** that tries to ruin the good mood. Go figure.

There's always one person who has to be a **** and rain on everyones parade ... But when ics is released they will be the first trying to download it and praising it and the devs...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Intel_x:
If the cm team got hw acceleration working you guys can do it to dnt stop now after everything you guys have learned from this project keep on finish it keep learning from this you guys might even get thisout b4 the cm team does
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
Their opinion doesn't make one bit of difference in this thread ... we all know how hard you and all the other devs have been working on this... I think everyone agrees that you all have been doing a great job and should finish what you started ... the out come will be well appreciated and worth it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
I know I am waiting patiently for this. I am sure that in due time it will come but you devs have my support. Thanks for trying to make this worth it's features

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Intel_x:
Go go go go finish it guys there's hasn't been one bad thing about this project from the beginning always huge progress dnt give up cm didn't get to the top just like that took a lot of work nd effort which you guys had been doing from day one
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x0xhellx0x:
And um cm has not released it yet so umm if I dont see it it ain't here so keep going you can do it :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
The point is, it's like reinventing the wheel. What's the point in spending the time in debugging/etc if CM already has it done?

Not trying to be pessimistic, but It's honestly more time wasted, when it's already been done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
get on irc
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I understand this logic.

When I had the Nexus One and Gingerbread came out on the Nexus S... tons of other phones had built roms from the SDK and source... but the Nexus One was kinda late to the game... why? Because everyone knew that Gingerbread would officially come to the Nexus One, so why get your panties all twisted up and spend tons of hours making a half crocked rom, when in a few weeks, we'd have it officially... or from the CM team.

Same deal now. CM team will have it out soon enough. LG will probably drag its feet (although they did say December). I'm not objecting the awesome devs here to get it working. The more devs the better. Plus being a developer, it is more passion then anything, so perhaps the devs WANT to get it working just to say they did it first?

Thing is we don't know if the CM team has it working fully or not (I haven't seen proof). We also don't know when they plan to start nightlies of CM9 and when it'll come to the G2x.

If the devs are quitting this port, then I'd say, release the latest flashable rom and the source so we can at least toy with it (even if some things don't work). May not be usable as a daily driver but I know I'd like to give it a go.

I would keep working on it and pushing updates if I was this far in.

Just food for thought.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twiztidnutzzzzz:
More of self achievement if you ask me. more minds doing similar tasks are better then one.mind .

And honestly with cm9 we ask knew it be done. But we don't see there progress or thinking and problem solving. I dig.reading devs working out issues and making progress almost better then flashing a, rom with.a list of comits.. Just saying.

Keep up the work . y stop a good thing. Keep learning and growing maybe the cm guys can learn a thing or two from yas. Ok off too look for cm9 stuff j/k
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beekersguy:
+1 for this. Why not open it up if you're scrapping it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Because we aren't quitting. Just waiting so everyone stop asking for me to release it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x0xhellx0x:
Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
cause the same people asking for a buggy half build release will be the same ones that will be b!tching and complaining about oh why is this not working, can you fix this etc...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
Maybe you guys could work on the cameras and if you get them to work then you could submit it to arcee. Then we will have a fully working build. Just a thought. Thanks for your effort.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
I have been contacting Ricardo (Arcee) since we started. Even if we had camera working he still wouldn't answer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
I was just wondering but if cm releases their ics build and you guys are able take the parts of their build that you need to finish up your build, does that make it a cm-based ROM? or because you guys seem to have a lot of things working will it is count as an open source community built ROM?

I am not sure it makes a big difference but I was just curious.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
CM BASED yes but all we want is the code for Hardware acceleration. We don't need the rest of it haha....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
I am no dev but if I built an entire Rom from scratch and i got all the components working except a tinnie tiny itsy witsy little thing like hardware acceleration then I wouldn't call it CM-based. I give them credit for their hard work and commend then on the outstanding job that they do(which is absolutely true) but its my ROM!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
Aside from the fact that CM is keeping device repos private until RC0 status. So aside from them, no one else can build a working CM build atm. So until they release something we are SOL. I'm simply not going to waste the time debugging if it's already done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Charlie Brown:
Great news and surprising progress so far IMO. It's a shock to me that Nvidia is going to give out source code.

I have been on XDA for many years now. We have such a great group of devs here! Why not show them our appreciation by ending the harsh criticism of fellow forum members. Let's stay on topic and leave our egos behind.

ICS is going to make our device feel like new. :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Most peeps posting to xdadevelopers, and particularly this thread, are not developers of which some do not appreciate how hard it is to do what is being done here by the dedicated few who are programming, and a few who haven't programmed, who have heavily lobbied NVIDIA and LG regarding making NVIDIA's ICS Tegra 2 driver and other information necessary to port ICS to the LG-P999. The few unappreciative peeps make unhelpful, ridiculous and insulting remarks and statements which discourage those of us who are trying to get ICS ported to the LG-P999 (G2X). They unappreciatively take these efforts for granted and feel entitled to demand the release of software before the developers are ready to do that. Even after software is released for public consumption, the same people whine, moan, and criticize the developers for releasing software which has problems/bug and demand perfection. Those peeps should sell or give away their phones and go back to using a POTS landline.

Here's some info regarding CM9 for the Galaxy S

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cm9-cyanogenmod-9-for-galaxy-s/

Note that there's lots of the CM9 Galaxy S ICS port which doesn't work so I think that the efforts by the G2X ICS port developers here are quite noteworthy.

From the CM9 ICS port team:

"Known Issues

•The UI is a little bit laggy (due to lack of hardware composition).

•Video recording does not work.

•Video playback is not hardware-accelerated.

•The front camera produces distorted preview.

•Photo taking does not work with the front camera.

•Some camera options FC. (The camera is a temporary hack, when the Nexus S ICS source is released, there will be a proper fix.)

•Movie Studio does not work.

•FM Radio does not work.

•Device encryption does not work.

•USB Tethering on Windows requires the user go to to driver update and manually select the RNDIS driver.

•Factory reset (from settings menu) does not clear /datadata.

•Sometimes wifi strength won’t show after boot if wifi is enabled. Toggle once to fix.

•A2DP bluetooth headsets do not work.

•Large photos cannot be edited."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Ok and what does cm9 for the galaxy S have to do with us? Cm7 doesn't really run properly on the galaxy s ...while cm7 rocks on my g2xim really looking forward to cm 9 on my phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Explaining it to you would be pointless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:
Don't surprise me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I have to come to the CM team defense here.

First, If they spent all their time answering questions from people who really aren't experienced and serious developers anyway, then they'd never get a thing accomplished.

Second, they cannot tell from an inbox full of random inquiries, which ones in particular are actually from experienced and serious developers.

It has nothing to do with being STUCK UP, it has to do with not having the friggin time to answer a bunch of questions and confirm bugs/issues that they already know exist and are already working on.

It's called "FAME"... CyanogenMod is a VERY big and popular project... those who are publicly working on it do not have the time to deal with the "little people" because if they did, they'd spend all day every day doing it. Those who are working on it behind the scenes avoid saying so in public, because they don't want to deal with the barrage of mail, PM's, shared posts, etc...

Quit raggin' on CM developers. They do this in their SPARE time FOR FREE. And you rag on them because they don't take the time to answer every request and work on other people's projects.

No wonder they stay away from XDA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fitsnugly:
I'm not on their "team" yet every person I've had the chance to talk to one-on-one has been nice as could be. Above and beyond even.

They code in their free time as hobby. They have an issue tracker as a formal way to report bugs. Asking anything above that level of service for a FREE product seems quite insulting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
get lost idiot

i developed a rom where is yours. i know quite well how to make a phone work and have done so. fact is you shouldn't have to. looky here all your waste of time posts and now nvidia is gonna release the source hmm just coincidence i guess. lg is a joke get it. its not a threat its a promise i wont buy their crap again. i dont care if they bring ics to the g2x or not i wont be using it or even own it at that point. we have already been in the why it wasn't returned thing before, you sound like a frigging broken record. im sorry you have no knowledge and can only repeat the same thing over and over. again this forum is for developing roms for devices. and to port newer version of android to devices that have not had it released officially as well as making a open source version of that android version for the phones. that is what is being discussed here and you are not needed, you add nothing to the development of this and we don't care if you think they should do it. they are doing it to achieve it and hope the community appreciates their work. that's why we develop for fun and hope people like what we do. you can think there is money in it if you want but there isn't.

sorry to the dev's here but this idiot just gets to me.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
They aren't "stuck up", they're intensly focused, as they should be, on their work. They have more than enough to deal with in those efforts and don't want distractions because exclusivity is what's necessary to accomplish their goals even though communication and co-operation with developers working on other projects may assist them and vice-versa.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Azuske:
Just because they don't answer doesn't mean they are stuck up. It could just mean they are too busy. Keep in mind that the same guy that is working on the G2X is also workin on the Optimus 3D, Black, & Galaxy Tab 10.1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
yup

you hit it on the head!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
How is cm diff from the dev team here. Both squads would prefer not release anything until it was functional. Both despise getting asked eta and testing as well being distracted by the million and one questions asked by me and the rest of us who aren't true devs. I respect azuskes and company decision not to release anything and their guidelines on "how to get banned from beta testing" just as I respect how cm operates. Easy on the cm bashing or we might find ourselves without cm9??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
true

I dont know about all of them but i have talked and been assisted in the past by several and they have been helpful. CVCPS was a large help to me when i started.

most developers will answer and help if they have time. its just sometimes there is no time. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
Wow. This topic sure did get off topic, didn't it? I am not a dev but I always wanted to be one(I became a lame accountant instead. good pay but very boring). I like hearing about how Roms are built and seeing progress being made.

How anyone has the gall to complain about anything FREE is beyond me. CM has been a great asset to the entire android community. Now let us remember that this forum is a develop's world and we(the users) are just living in it. RESPECT.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
this is the reason CM or his team rarely posts on here cause of comments like this. do you really think that your lonely little G2x is the only device that they are working on a ICS build on no they working on multiply devices with probably whining people just like you. so sit back and zip it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Software development is an extremely intense intellectual activity, I have done lots of it in the PC and Mac world (Back in the day, I was an independent Apple software developer for quite a few years, developed web server and client software, etc., and I got carpal tunnel syndrome and burned myself out too). Distractions cause loss of concentration and restarting isn't easy because when the train of thought is broken, it takes a lot of effort to regain it and review of what's already been done is often required to move forward from the point of interruption. Also what one developer does may not be helpful to another one because the code is different due to the different ways to do the same thing and many developers don't comment their code well enough.

I just retired (early) and my interest in software development revived so I looked around for something new to get involved with, that's why I joined xdadevelopers and other software development groups. What I've read on xdadevelopers has attracted and repulsed me. Attraction due to the interesting and heroic developer efforts in a domain of software of which I know nothing about but want to know and repulsion due to the unrealistic, ignorant, inane, idiotic, irrational, etc., expectations, comments and criticism of the efforts of developers.

The independent handset software development world (Android, etc.) is in its infancy and has a lot of technological maturing to do so I have to think long and hard about committing myself to the steep learning curve, investment of time and money (yes it does cost money for programming resources) required to participate as a productive programmer, especially because I have much less time left to live than I have already lived and because of what I read here which is petty and discouraging. So, to those who are behaving as A holes, keep it up and those who want to get involved as developers will stay away and those who are here will leave. If you don't want that, change your attitude and behaviour for the better and be patient and express appreciation for what you get when you get it otherwise get a WYSIWYG iPhone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
+1. Also the same reason we are losing devs... Too many whinny and demanding people who just refuse to stop complaining ... I mean come on your getting other people's hard work shared with you and have the balls to complain if its not released yet or if you have a problem with what your using.. devs are not baby sitters nor do they owe you anything...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jokyla:
No one ever hears me complaining about anything on these forums. I read and wait patiently. However, enough is enough---stop kissing everyone's behind here. If guys are too demanding developers can easily do what many of us do already. Stop logging in here. Developers coming here complaining about the complainers need to get a life. Most of the work here is really fascinating to many. So lots of people will come here like kids in a candy store. So what! grow up and deal with it. Nobody said a developer has to even reply to a post. Much of the problem here is guys kissing ass seeking favor with developers. Stop the sucking sounds, will ya!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 280z_rb26dett:
Well said
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
For one I wasn't singling anyone out.. As far as kissing ass you have the wrong one buddy... I never ask for anything from anyone in here and have been a member of xda for a just over a year now... I hardly ever post unless I'm asked a question, trying to help someone if I possibly can or someone makes a dumbass comment that pisses me off, which it usually takes alot to piss me off...And I also don't complain... I was just merely stating one of the reasons why devs leave here...

Other than that I just sit back and read and patiently wait myself.. :)

How bout we keep this thread on the topic of ICS for the G2x. If you dont have anything constructive or insightful to add to the development and troubleshooting of the problems with the rom, take it somewhere else. Supporting the devs does not mean bashing them because you feel you are entitled to roms on your schedule, nor does it mean sticking up for them and jumping all over those individuals who feel the need to complain about something that they are unable to contribute to and seem to have nothing better to do than whine and ***** that they arent getting free stuff fast enough.

If its not about the development of ICS, respectfully shut up and move on to a diff thread.
