There are news for ICS porting on 2x? All ROMs out have problem with hw acceleration? Thank you and sorry for my bad english! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
No ICS rom has HW acceleration at the moment. We are all waiting for LG
[LG Optimus 2x] bit_imp:
I propose to begin to write letters in support of the LG, since July 1. This is the beginning of the third quarter. Asking the release date of ICS.

LG Russia in Twitter confessed that they had problems with the development of firmwares.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
We don't have a release date, yet. Please be assured that we understand the frustration this may be causing to ourcustomers. Please continue to check with our blog and website for any changes regarding the ICS update. blablablablabla
[LG Optimus 2x] bit_imp:
Yes, it will be the standard answers. But at some point they get bored. Then maybe the developers will give a more precise answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vankata_91:
I can't wait for the update. I bought my LG 2x last week and i am pretty happy, phone is great.

LG make us happy.
[LG Optimus 2x] drakodga:
Phone is great, but memory leak after 100 hours its horrible... i cant belive nvidia dont fix it yet...
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Is nvidia responsible for that?
[LG Optimus 2x] drakodga:
Well, i think that nvidia would give us driver sources. With these sources, kernel would be merged with more recents versions, with full acceleration and more optimizeds. I think lg can't give us nothing if nvidia blocked it.
[LG Optimus 2x] bit_imp:
Ha-ha, Google will update the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and Motorola XOOM to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) in July. And we still have not received ICS. Now LG is falling behind in two versions.
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Like it was said a few pages back, Nvidia is NOT going to make the drivers that we so desperately need public. So in the words of the one and only Linus Torvalds, "F#%$ Nvidia!"

[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Do you guys think we will get android 4.1? I hope LG give us 4.1 instead of 4. The transition should not be that difficult..
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Not sure about Lg but Devs at XDA sure!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Vankata_91:
I must say that i have this feeling that LG will make us happy next month.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
And why is that?
[LG Optimus 2x] henkspank:
did you guys hear the news? android 4.1 jelly bean is out! it's not tabled only. while we are still waiting for android 4.0.x :o :good:

4.1 got some cool new features like a siri kind voicecontrol, better prestations, new kind of notifications, 60 fps in the whole os aswel as graphics tripple buffering, and a mechanism to guess what the user is about to select on the screen so the latency will be reduced.

so it's cool.
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
Developer guys here doing miracles!

So use their roms, kernel, tweaks and don't wait anything from lg.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
I have the feeling that the relevance of hardware acceleration in JB is even more prominent than in ICS. I'm hoping this does not cause any problems in building a fully working JB build after until we get H/A working on ICS, assuming LG stops at ICS for the o2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] henkspank:
yes, I think when we have ics from lg when we have hw acceleration it'll be time to use those for 4.1 too
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Yup, I also hope that JB won't need any new drivers compared to ICS :)
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Exactly what I mean; the drivers released along LG's ICS to be enough for an independent JB build. Let's hope it turns out that way :)

Btw this should give a whole lot more detailed information about JB.

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
[LG Optimus 2x] Vankata_91:
Because I am new at the LG 2x world and I am optimist for next month.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Give me a break they wouldn't add HW acceleration in ICS and then remove it in JB ... what are you on?

Dont know much about JB right now but i think i can bet my life it has the same kind of HW acceleration as ICS and again without the drivers from nvidia we are stuffed.
[LG Optimus 2x] tr@p:
I think he means some extra (new) drivers other then ones required for ICS. In that case, if/when we get official ICS it wouldn't be too difficult to get an JB too.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Exactly what I mean.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Still possible that you need other kernel modules or libs to access the tegra2 functions which are needed for Googles "Project Butter". And then again without updateted binaries from LG or sources from Nvidia it could get complicated.

But yes, the probability to get JB on top of ICS is higher than to get ICS on top of GB without new drivers.
[LG Optimus 2x] dasklney:
The first device with JB is outed with Tergra3 chipset inside, so Nvidia got a big move now :D I hope we would get JB but not ICS :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Thegn:
In the Iconia A500 part of this forum, a user is already porting (SDK-porting) JB to the A500. What is missing in the port is audio and WiFi, but progress is fast. The A500 is a Tegra 2 device.

I will not go into the differences between the tablet, phone and drivers, I'm not a developer. But it seems that it is very possible that, as you say, the probability to get JB on top of ICS is quite good.

We still lack proper drivers from NVidia/LG, though.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
If that's true, then it means it is possible for a JB build to be built for the o2x right now, of course still with the limitations as current ICS roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
I think that 'project butter' is one of the main things missing on android devices since the OS's birth. For the o2x thats even more, considering that the phone has never been buttery smooth on GB, no matter what ROM/OC/Kernel combination used. There have actually been some long discussion about this in which i have participated. Scrolling through menus, home screens (even on many 2D games like bubble shoot) etc always has 'periodic' hiccups and screen tearing. My 3 year old Acer Liquid E IS buttery smooth in all of the above (except games), comparing to the o2x thats not (No placebo effects here, the comparison is completely obvious without a inch of doubt). I wish i could make a video of this but unfortunately i have no extra camera and I'm not sure this can be clearly shown in a 30fps video.

EDIT: Excuse the off-topic rant, flipping through homescreens with the Liquid/O2x side by side just gets me mad.. 1st gen Snapdragon (underclocked) beats Tegra2 (same launcher, both CM7).. Oh well...

[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i believe 2x screen refresh rate is 72 hz ? which is a really odd number, maybe has something to do with it. but really, i dont care much about this, if i dont think about it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Im pretty sure its 72 yes.. 60 doesn't feel entirely smooth so they probably put 75hz screen in just to make it seem like the best phone in the market.

The phone does have a wonderful screen though.
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
1 thing you may have forgotten to mention or you might just not know, everything you said to be slow or buggy on the o2x hhappens on cm7 i agree, but its a lot and i do mean a lot smoother when scrolling and so on if you use stack based roms, idk why, but its a fact.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
Well.

You can get a smooth scroll in stock ROMs but the memory consumption is HUGE so the phone will lag when you're out of memory.

The stock LG launcher is not smoot at all. In fact, the most smooth launcher I found is TWLauncher 4.5. It's a port of the touchwiz launcher from the Samsung phones and it's buttery smooth. Give it a try.

But yes, getting project butter to work with our refresh rate will be a challenge. The gpu will stress more.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
That's why we get the unwanted stutter through animations. ):

sent from my wii remote
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
oh and ofcourse our phone had to be "special" in some more stupid ways so that we cant take advantage of project butter.

i know that no one could have known that this would happen, but its just very annoying that we are left behind
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
I don't think that it's only got to do with the display's refresh rate but.. anyways. Here's a video from pocketnow that shows a leaked JB on galaxy nexus (which by the way sells for 350 bucks right now!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN3EXAFRxKQ&feature=player_embedded . No more iOS dominance in the butter wars..

PS. For musicians all over the world who know what I'm talking about.. Ive read that google has done some serious work as far as audio latency is concerned and that they've managed to drop it from 100ms to 12ms on the galaxy nexus running JB, aiming for even lower.. If they manage to get it right in the end, I'm sticking with android for ever (That was the only reason i would ever consider an iOS device, well, thats most probably the new iPod Touch anyways.. lol)

EDIT: I WANT JB NOWWWWW
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
+1 for the end of butter war. That's one thing I really consider iOS having a huge advantage in. Even the iPod touch was as smooth - if not smoother - in touch interaction than say, the SGS III. From videos I can see the UI is now a lot more smoother than before, but I can't say it is on par with iOS yet until I try it myself.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Wow i have visited LG's Facebook for a long time http://www.facebook.com/LGMobile . Users are really pissed off at them!
[LG Optimus 2x] victoram:
IF we got the DRIVERS ,and port JB to our phone, AND we can LOCK the refresh rate to 72Hz, and RENDER at 72fps

WE will have the MOST smooth phone evar!

but.... we keep ice dreaming :(
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Honestly unless while playing video the refresh rate changes I tried 24p videos and they look like they would look on a 60hz screen. So this screen actually runs at 60hz in my opinion
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
There's no problem with the screen really. The screen does run at 60 fps, the animations/UI however do not.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
So we're saying the same thing :)
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Yes :p
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I bet this will cause problems in JB more than ever. I wish I could go back in time and not choose Tegra 2!
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Yes, the lack of NEON would certainly have an impact on "project butter". As it has already been one of the main reasons sometimes the o2x isn't as smooth as even some single core devices, even on GB.
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
i already tried most if not all launchers out there, best and smoothest so far in my opinion are holo or go launcher.

U think Huawei is not as good as lg then ur a fool...i would prefer it
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but on LG Cambodia's Facebook page, there is a comment from LG stating the following:

"At the moment, we don't have any information about update to ICS for Optimus 2X. But we have new models that come with ICS: Optimus L7, Optimus L5 & Optimus 4X HD."

According to this, if we want ICS or JB, we have to buy a new phone.

I wouldn't mind buying a new device, just have to remember not to buy LG...It's a shame, though... the 4X looks great!
[LG Optimus 2x] Kinimod01:
obviously no LG subbranch has any information. This is a post written by LG Facebook Germany from today.

Depends on what you consider "cheap"... According to GSM Arena, it might be costing around 440€, while my O2X costed 250€ (on sale)... Never the less, this Huawei looks impressive...and maybe (just maybe) it will have better support than all LG phones combined.

440Euro is hardly cheap even for top brands, if thats its real price ill pass.

[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I don't see what the new Huawei has to do with ICS on our phone? :cowboy:

Anyways.. as I searched some quotes from Ricardo Cerqueiras G+ stream for another thread I thought they might be relevant here as well.

Lot's of people have problems to understand the roles of LG and Nvidia and who can bring us ICS, here you go :)

Source

And here are some more statements which show that LG is responsible for the update and not Nvidia.

Of course - if Nvidia would release the reference source code (like Qualcomm etc.) it would probably help the devs to compile the needed binaries themselves - but:

Source

And the last one which seems rather important. Of course it would be great if Nvidia would support the Open Source Community better (almost everyone saw Linus Torvalds "f*** you nvidia"), but they cannot provide drivers for the 2x, that's _totally_ LG's part:

Source
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
tonyp, no-one is saying that this Huawei model has anything to do with the O2X... we were just comparing the customer support offered by these two manufactures...
[LG Optimus 2x] solrakk6:
Exactly and how its possible a phone like our p990 with this feacture don't have yet a ics!!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I know I know... it was just a hint to come back to topic, as Huaweis customer support has nothing to do with the topic... :p
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
i think the whole update for the O2x is like piggy in the middle, the customers in the middle and lg/Nvidia infront and behind. If Nvidia actually gave out their code like open source :P then it would be fine but they havent and probably will never do it which is a shame, but then you have LG who do have access to all this code but their devs are so slow and useless (from what ive seen... it could be a very small team now they have had massive redundancies etc) that they cant use this to their advantage and simply release an OK ROM for third party developers to reverse engineer and use properly.

LG cant release the code as its under agreement to Nvidia not to or would face a heft fee, but LG team cant really do it themselves so it takes long time... they are stuck :P so Nvidia is ignorant and LG is just lazy/unable to work.

Maybe we get ICS Q4 who knows... I would love ICS as it seems excellent from what ive played around with on CM9 on the O2x but the lack of camera and apps having a fit is something i couldnt live with, id rather something stable for now. I got the O2x for a very cheap price (cheaper than a wildfire at the time!) and its a pretty good phone when you have a good rom. When my contract runs out may next year i will probably avoid Nvidia devices, not LG as the hardware has been good but id be looking at a device that uses a SoC from a manufacturer that cares (Samsung etc) i.e open source.

Wonder what amazing devices will be out next year, be nice to have high res and uber high performance mobile, may even jump ship to WP8 if it turns out as good as it is looking right now :D. We shall see.

Come on LG ICS and then JB you can do it... i want more months out of this phone!.
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
I used to own an LG GT540, which at the time (2 years ago) was a cool device... It wasn't amazing, because back then the first Galaxy was one of the best phones around, followed by the HTC Desire.

I bought the LG because my Nokia 5310 Xpress Music (which I really miss because of the great sound quality) was having some problems, and I had a tight budget. Besides, smartphones were starting to become very trendy, so why not buy one?

When I bought the LG, it was promised that it would be updated from 1.6 to 2.1, which indeed happend, then to 2.3.4 or 2.3.7... that never happend. I wasn't too worried, because I never really had a problem with any custom rom available for that device, but did e-mail LG asking when an update would be launched. "Soon", they answered. A year and a half later, I was still waiting, and the phone started to become outdated.

All this to say I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen on this O2X, which with stock 2.3.4, cannot achieve its full potential. I've benchmarked it with a custom kernel (check my signature), and my phone beat many devices, and barely came behind the Asus Transformer and a HTC which I cannot recall which.

With decent optimization (and I believe ICS or JB would be wise choices), it will kick many dualcore smartphones. All LG has to do is provide an official update, and I'm sure the devs will take care of the rest.

Look at CM9 or EaglesBlood: great roms, but like all ICS custom roms, lack hardware acceleration... Basically, that's all that is missing to make our phone kick-ass!
[LG Optimus 2x] spartanez:
Is Optimus Black has already received ISC? No! LG has a very bad development!

Thank you Rusty. You've always been awesome at pointing out stuff like this to people.

Thats my bloody point.... the stock kernel sucked if the kernel had absolutely nothing to do with performance there would be no need to create custom kernels.
[LG Optimus 2x] Steppenwolfie:
kiljacken stated that the current stock, yet customized, CM kernel is capable of giving a good ICS experience. No one said that kernels are not related to performance.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
The point I'm making is that some people have it in their heads that if the CM kernel was .36 based instead of .32 based it would magically fix everything or something.

As I understand it, .36's only real benefit is CPU govenor support.
