Nexus 7.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Throughout this entire thread you see people really upset about waiting for ICS and there are others that say "what's the problem? gingerbread works fine, we don't really need ICS".

I agree with the second group. Our phone does run ok with gingerbread (better with custom ROM, obviously), but the second group is missing the point...

I BOUGHT AN O2X BECAUSE I WAS PROMISED OFFICIAL ICS! AND I LIKE GETTING WHAT I WAS PROMISED!
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
im at the same situation with him, bought the phone because the phone was promised for updates
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Shame for you, I didn't bought the phone I just picked it up as it was fun to have a capricious phone - the problem child... :p I have learned a bit from this funny piece of crippled hardware, that's the most important thing. Having struggle and problems ain't that bad at all.

Nexus 7 you all say. Not bad. But boring to me. I'd like have one, but I don't like the 7inch segment, not my cup of tea. 10 inches or nothing. I'll use a 4-5inch mobile device instead.

And what we will get from having ICS? On this old hardware it will be mere lifeless ragged doll. The only thing I could want is proper bluetooth HID device support (keyboard and joystick).
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I've already asked this a few pages back. From what I understood, we'll get hardware acceleration with triple buffering and v-sync, which will improve smoothness greatly throughout the UI and web browsing.

Still like I said.. it's not so much that we need ICS... it's more of a principle kind of thing...

EDIT: Also, if you jump over to the SU660 development area, you'll see people very happy with the ICS beta they already have!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
Then buy a different phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
Not all, but most. You are right, Google Android as a system doesn't work out properly due to the arrogance and ignorance of most manufacturers. It's true.

Motorola is the worst of all - locked bootloaders, next to no support, customer communication is plain brickwalling, nothing else.

LG is getting close to that, sadly.

The biggest problem is that the media is not caring for that either. They publish all the nice press relaeses and celebrate technological gadgets. They hardly ever cover these issues. Large problem!

The customer service lady in the UK gave me the permission to quote her that LG "knows about the problems, but lacks the competence to solve them". I would give the mail contact to any journalist who wants to listen. I don't seem to find one.

For me that means I am trying to get a Xiaomi Mi2, but it's tricky. Maybe in the end I switch to Windows and Nokia. I am not sure if it will be better there, but it CAN'T be worse.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Your comment has no sense.

Today in a German forum (translate with goole):

[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Apart from the obvious enhancements in user experience due to HW acc, triple buffering & vsync (if all goes well with CM10 development), I'm mostly interested in apps that simply don't run on GB, like Chrome (surely as time goes by, we'll see more of them). html5 has a stellar performance on Chrome and its no lie that the web is moving towards that direction. Also i suspect that in little time we'll start seeing web apps on html5 (like there been since ages for iOS). For me and others that are into music making, Jelly Bean is a big step forward due to Google being able to drop audio latency to more bearable levels. I'd also like a bit of Google Now love.. So, all n all, ICS/JB is definitely big news for me and with the help of our great dev community i believe that it will give our o2x a second life.. Lets see how it goes..
[LG Optimus 2x] KoRRo89:
for me it's not a principle thing, when i bought it lg was promising gb so i got what was promised, but i think that this is a great phone even if it has some problem, and it deserves a great os like ics or jb... the difference between gb and the hackfest jb is so big, and it will become even bigger with a proper kernel. this phone has a good hw even if it's old and it will not became slower like other phones, so why not updating it? anyway i have no problem waiting, if they do something wrong in the kernel side it will probably reflect even in custom roms, imho even with the source code our devs can't have the same knowledge that lg has about the hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] solrakk6:
STOP to say it is a great phone, and who are happy with the GB...

All already know that. Here speaks the ICS source out.

NOT leave off the subject please.

I WAIT ICS FOR P990!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
There are plenty of small enhancements, also in matters of design and usability.

There might be people happy with GB and not caring about being ripped off, but who cares? I despise how some of them claim to be more mature than those who are unhappy. It's a disgrace.
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
The only thing i want from this pos phone, is the abillity to have wallpaper scrolling enabled in the launcher and see no stutter when scrolling the homescreens. The only way this will happen, is if we get Hardware acceleration.
[LG Optimus 2x] Beorn1:
I for one also really like the voice writing in ics that is much better than the voice recognition in gingerbread, but until we get proper hw acceleration I prefer to stay with gb, since i had too many strange problems with ics, mostly regarding the camera.

And of course i would also love to get Google now.

So yes, this phone does work well also on gb, but it doesn't mean that it should stay like that forever and that is why people want ics...
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
just tipped GSMArena, lol

ICS update has been delayed for the umpteenth time. As a popular news and blog that is GSMARena, I hope that the news of LG not providing timely updates would be posted to serve as wake up call for such sloppy and incompetent companies. Do the right thing, GSMArena, or at least spread the hate towards LG Mobile Division.

Best Regards
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
To what e-mail did you send the email? I mean, I sent them a tip too about LG being late again and they did not respond or publish an article
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
just go to the site and click tip us, im sure they treat my message as some sort of spam message
[LG Optimus 2x] havz0r:
So, again, there's no ETA for ICS?
[LG Optimus 2x] defcomg:
They don't really care engadget also LG has silenced them imo to them if its not apple or samsung its not news
[LG Optimus 2x] daas88:
It can be worse. Old Windows mobile phones can't be upgraded to Windows phone 7. WP7 phone's can't be upgraded to wp7.5 (not completely sure about that). WP7.5 phone's can't be upgraded to wp8, only to wp7.8 which is a consolation prize.

The software is closed source, so there's no custom roms, if you're not happy with what you get there's no way of changing anything. No customizability whatsoever, only the color of the squares, not even wallpapers... So imo it can be worse.

LG optimus 2x, rom Gueste Hybrid 3.7
[LG Optimus 2x] H€¥:
Ok but....we don't give a **** about wp!!
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
so, if anyone here wants a spare P990 to run tests on, I'm happy to oblige as I really want to sell mine now. It's more prone to bugs than my backup HTC Desire Z anyways. Using CM7.2 with the etana kernel worked well, but I still encountered crashes and other glitches (including airplane mode turning on by itself after a reboot then taking forever to turn off) that never happened at all on my trusty DZ.

Currently browsing on Kijiji and ebay for good deals on a Galaxy Nexus, HTC One S, Galaxy S2, or a high end Xperia without SE's idiotic bootloader policy.

As for Windows Phone... if there's one positive thing I can say about it, it's that MS enforces hardware and software standardization regardless of manufacturer so that updates can be delivered across the board (yes I know 7.5 can't be updated to 8, but the updates that do come to 7.5 will be received by EVERY 7.5 handset). If we had this kind of "universality" in Android then we wouldn't have to deal with sh!tty OEM UIs (looking at you, HTC Sense) and of course this LG O2X update fiasco!

And on that topic, the only way I would buy another LG phone is if it were either a Nexus, or shared most components with a Nexus like how all the WPs have more or less the same CPU and RAM just with different screen size, storage, and cameras.

It's a shame because I can get the LG Optimus LTE which has good specs and official CM9 for only $200, but this O2X disaster makes me hesitant to buy it, instead I focus on the aforementioned alternatives which cost at least $50 more.

For now, I'm back to my DZ while my O2x is wiped (but still running CM7.2 with etana kernel) so that I don't drain the battery any further before it's sold.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I got a free wifi pass at my hotel so I thought let's do a quick read through xda.

I read the 30 new pages in this thread as well, do you think I need psychological help? :D

Anyways, as someone else (mustangtim) wrote about it in the G2x section I can finally write it without some stupid hints here as well:

Ricardo has a fully working P990 CM10 version (yes, with hwa). He got an earlier su660 ics dev leak directly from LG, even before leaks were on their server.

The leak was a little different though, he was able to boot with the kernel.

Long story short: jb runs great. He can't release it as he can't damage his good relationship to LG, I think you can understand that - so don't bug him about it.

I'm just writing this to answer the people who have doubts.

We will get cm10 as soon as the su660 kernel source drops. And it does run great on our hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] victoram:
What a delicious thing to be read :laugh::laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Holy smokes... right when I had given up and switched to my DZ in preparation for a sale of my P990. Thanks man!
[LG Optimus 2x] Waringham:
These are really great news! Thx a lot! :laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Actually this aren't really news. He has it running for ages. I just didn't know if I'm allowed to post about it hehe. Now I can blame mustang if he didn't want people to know :D

But this shows something else of course. Ricardo got it fully working with a very early leak in a couple days - LG on the other hand is still "on final beta stage".

Shame - on - you - LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
RC should give LG an ultimatum, if they don't release ICS soon (say within a week), he would release CM10. That should push LG to release it. :P Or just release it now, since they failed to deliver ICS by Q3.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Nah, let's just hack Ricardo's computer so that it won't be his fault :D
[LG Optimus 2x] elefas:
Some great news to hear (and read)!

thanks tonyp! (and of course Ricardo for his awesome work). Now let's all pray for LG to release the sources as soonest as possible
[LG Optimus 2x] mahar shoaib:
if Ricardo has working CM10 then why he can't share with us. he is only one that has good relation ship with LG..

I request that CM10 Should be share with us.

Thanks for Great news.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
Good news after some time, thanks Tony

On the other hand bad news, why they don't release the f*cking su660 rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
you just answered your own question mate O_O

Anyone here from Portugal? If so, please go to Lisbon with a USB drive and "get friendly" with Ricardo!
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
You can request all you like........
[LG Optimus 2x] nuvo84:
RC could share it with us.. I promise I won't tell it to LG... :p
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
You don't request anything.

He gets lots of LG devices from LG and they do help him out here and there.

He can't and won't ruin that, don't talk about something you have no idea about.

Just one note: if people will "request" things like that from him he might just decide to not release it. See how mad he got about the Optimus Black people.

So don't make stupid posts at his G+ or twitter profile, you will regret it later.

I just posted this to "make hope", not to get people make stupid requests.

So let's keep on waiting. It will come, nothing we do will change the date so let's not piss of RC with posts like this.
[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
I'm glad he did such a good job in making this possible for us. I can wait know, knowing even a functional JB will come, many thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
demmit lg, obviously wanting us to use their buggy software release thats only on ics and has a stupid quick note(memo) feature instead of a more delicious jelly bean :)
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I've taken down my kijiji ad for my O2X. I'll still be using my DZ for the time being since I need to wipe the O2X regardless for the CM10 update, so might as well leave it for later since my DZ gets the job done.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
@tonyp i would like to ask, why would he have to wait for the kernel drop before he can release it, if he has everything to make it work perfectly, or does he have to wait for the official update released?
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
To build his CM10 ROM, he would have used drivers that LG+Nvidia gave him, which aren't supposed to be released yet. So leaking it out early would piss off LG a LOT.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dimitris CH:
Because the 2X is not the end of the world and he wants LG to keep providing him with such material in the future!

same old story

I'm done with Nvidia, period.

I'm giving them six months to get their house in order.
[LG Optimus 2x] barmyman:
is anybody here cares about ICS for 2x? fellows from g2x forum at least try to do smth, and here is almost a silence...
[LG Optimus 2x] undeene:
on LG facebook page:

"LG confirms today that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be initially available for the following high-end LG smartphones which were introduced this year: the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE. We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones to make the ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible.

In December this year, the forthcoming upgrade schedule and additional specific models for the ICS OS upgrade will be posted on our LG Mobile Global Facebook page and on our local LG websites. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG."
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Dunno why they'd publish a schedule, they'll only push the dates back each month :D
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
Probably they've learned by their mistakes, this time. ;-)

Really eager for ICS on the 2X. I think the phone will really start to shine with it (CM9 that is!).
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Wow, if 4.0 will be good, our 2X is still a great phone!
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
AHAHAHAHA thats funny.
[LG Optimus 2x] wiredback:
There's always a possibility (no matter how small:)). Remember Samsung's policy regarding updates when they started with Android phones (e.g. Galaxy Spica) - look at them now.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Ha give me a break, they havnt even released GB for most countrys, they have learned nothing and do not care.

LG's department that deals with thier phones is obviosly very small and lacks experience and skill to match a company like samsung and frankly they don't give a ****, they say anything so you will just buy their stuff and do not give anything they promise.
[LG Optimus 2x] vainqueur:
Before someone start defending LG, saying they are like Samsung and they will improve. They will never be like Samsung, in case anyone dont know, Samsung is very rich and power in South Korea, they owned lands, mountains, 1 whole street and buildings in their business district and so on. Therefore, they are growing like nobody's business, thats why Samsung improve sooooo fast. Unlike LG, chinese words, there is saying, direct translation will be "Don't wear such a big hat if your head is not that big". In other words, don't give promise you cannot make.

I seriously regret getting LG because I thought their none Android phone is quite good and good support to it. I thought they will bring that into their Android phone, looks like I was freaking wrong...
[LG Optimus 2x] wiredback:
As this was probably aimed at my post, please tell me, where did I said that LG's like Samsung? I just said there's a possibility (no matter how small) that they could change their policy regarding updates.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an optimist regarding this and (like you) I don't believe they will (but for the good of all of us, I dare them to prove me/us wrong:)). My prediction for LG's O2x ICS is Q4 2012. Anything before that time will be a big surprise for me.

BREAKING NEWS

NVIDIA is, for the first time, preparing an actual working Android release, with all the bits needed for a build. I just got an e-mail from them, and it's also been published in their developer forums.

Relax dude. I am not aiming your post, actually, I didn't even read your post the first time round, haha. :D:D

I think you misunderstood what I am saying. I am trying to say, LG will never improve like how Samsung is doing simply because Samsung is rich and powerful and have the capability to expand like nobody's business.

:eek::eek::eek: I guessed I was right afterall, Google is using Motorola as a platform to attack the tablet market. Which means, I should seriously check out Motorola tablet (I am getting 1 soon and my 2x will be "converted" into a normal phone with wifi tethering)

So we have an almost fully ROM,GPS, audio, camera...all working OMG :D
[LG Optimus 2x] baen:
Kind of. But if we want the camcorder to work we need the "real" HW accelaration to work...

Thanks for the response Benee :D

Indeed. kudos to them.

I feel so powerless... But it serves me right to sleep through half the Operating Systems courses I had, and use Java for everything.

1. working FM radio

2. working ICS ROM

3. Girlfriend

your so dead if you gf sees that lol xd
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
Woohoo!!! Aremcee and all the devs, you guys rock!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
you are right...

fm is indeed not that importent.

but- it's a feature and it doesnt mantion in benee's doc.

and for a daily 2 hours train raider it's a graet bonus.

just to be clear- i totaly admire the dev's work.

no complaining, just asking.
[LG Optimus 2x] bihariel:
wow, this is so gooooood...

when you are going to update the repositories? will this be commited to vorkteam repos?

thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
i was talking about the guy i quoted haha ;)

true i understand what you mean but for you information there isn't even a CM FM radio app yet for ics ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
thank you for your answer.

i will sure use this rom. even without the fm;)
[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
I probably won't use this ROM until after LG releases theirs so that we can get actual hardware acceleration, and also until the performance can match GB
[LG Optimus 2x] Rvl7:
where can i download the rom with progress? i want to try...

what the effect if no actual hw accleration?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Nowhere, yet. We have to wait until benee or kiljacken releases it. They planned to release it when everything is working, which won't take much time anymore I believe.

On a sidenote: Great work you guys! Can't believe that you got the camera working! A full ICS rom is now just a matter of days! You guys are awesome :D!
[LG Optimus 2x] wkpark:
No. It is just a simple HAL wrapper using the GB libcamera.so

with software conversion from yuv420sp to RGBA8888.

(some Qualcomm specific MDP video code are removed.)

and it means that there is no hardware specific code exists in this Camera HAL driver. and I think it can be potable any other ICS ROMs. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] IRASadPanda:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AvhPSapHpE1odDVsRWhDbWQtamZkZzhQZXU0UVZEam c#gid=0

They already have everything at least partially working, so you O2x users should see it in a few days. I'll have to wait for a G2x port though >:|
[LG Optimus 2x] crytic:
Stop saying that there will be a release in the coming days. No one knows that. In it's current state, the ROM is very hacky and nowhere complete. Yes, most of the hardware works, kind of. Video playback will not really work. A2DP is quirky. FM is not working. Video recording is not working. HW acceleration is not working. Most games are not working because of the HWUI hacks.

If Benee ever decided that he would release a version in its current state to xda, you would not appreciate it. The thread would be flooded with people complaining **** is not working properly. As long as this is inevitable, no ROM will be released here.

tl;dr: THUMB RULE: NO ROM WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE A LG LEAK. THIS MIGHT BE A MATTER OF WEEKS, IF NOT MONTHS.
[LG Optimus 2x] solrakk6:
Do you think the devs can use the same drivers for the latest 4.2 in the future?
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
so when he releases it, it would be stable edition not nightlies :)

Yeah well Ricardo does a hell of a job.

Nonetheless it really shows what LG cares about the O2X - nothing.

Sure, porting their own UI may take some time, but come on, Ricardo taking JB to O2X in a one man show within days and LG still sitting on the update... That's just sad.

Finally good news for our P990

Thanks Tonyp for your hint, and getting this hope to this thread.

Either RC crack on is own the beta versions of SU660, our LG ask for he's help solving the bug's and he's going to send them his version so they can add all the LG crap and launch ICS for international P990.

So we have to wait until middle of October or early November.

Let RC work... ICS is just around the corner
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
A public post to RC.

The news of you having a fully working ICS and JB on the P990 as reached to us.

I don't know and don't care if you really do. But prepare yourself for tons of s_h_i_t in your twitter and Google+.

Know that- the majority of common users, like me, highly appreciate your work no matter what ahead.

I hope and know that you can leap above the few and not self controlled people that will surely bug you.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Let more months of waiting/100 pages about this RC thingy begin.
