What about the official release?

I know most of you guys are exited about the CM9 release, but what about the official IC LG release? Regardless of it taking like forever to roll out, do you think it will have any advantages over a custom rom? I mean, would it be worth upgrading (or downgrading depending on your preferences) to it when it finally arrives? (hopefully before hell freezes over).:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
That's an insane progress. Really glad 2G/3G data got fixed. I must admit that I'm impressed. Together with working audio I would gladly replace CM7 to help the developers with extensive testing.

Just moved to another city so I'm temporarily I'm in need for WiFi/USB hotspot, so that would be the first thing I'll test ;-). GPS could of course be useful too, since I'm not from around here, but I'll do without.
[LG Optimus 2x] I.R.Chevy:
Just curious this is being developed for the p990 but what about the p999? Will the release work for both?

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
By the looks of things not long to go for a release version COMON i wanna see some ics on my device, wasnt excited about it before now im tired of this gingerbread crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
<Mod Edit>

On topic: can i be in the beta team, if there will be any? I can test anything: bluetooth headphones, wired headphones, MMS, WiFi, 3G, 2G, Data, WiFi Tether, HDMI output etc. I was in the beta testing team for a lot of ROMs, especially developed for Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro, Samsung I5500/I9000 and Motorola Milestone.
[LG Optimus 2x] droweed:
obviously if lg ever releases one, it will have everything working(hardware), even on cm7, the camera is still bad(video recording is laggy etc.), though thats the only bad point about o2x cm. everything else cm is fast fast fast
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
You guys will have to wait for us to fix audio. Then we'll probably release a test build for public testing.
[LG Optimus 2x] PykaTux:
Can I ask what is meant by "Encryption from ICS"?
[LG Optimus 2x] fajarep:
wow, this is a really cool progress ICS.., can't really hope from LG going to release soon...
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
I had the same question in my head. What is the possibility of getting drivers we need?
[LG Optimus 2x] Luk_Optimus:
there is allready an other phone with Tegra2 and ICS out, but there are too many differences between the LG 2x and other phones.

don't hope for much...

sorry, for bad english:cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
This issue has been debated in many posts (including this one). Check your sources.

[LG Optimus 2x] leandroprez26:
This history of ICS for the LG O2x has become a book, is getting boring listening to the same nvidia and LG. To me almost regret having bought this device. Before I had bought the Xperia Arc S, at least he has already received the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Well.. I'd say it increases the chances but would still be a lot of work as it is no lge star device.

If there wasn't a ICS version announced by LG a dev might try to use the sources, but it will be a lot easier to wait for LG and use the correct binaries.

But I am no real developer, this are only my asumptions - keep that in mind and don't take my opinion as the perfect answer.
[LG Optimus 2x] leandroprez26:
Thanks for the reply, the way it is waiting for the LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] black_mamba99:
now that jelly bean has released,I think its high time LG release ICS for optimus 2x
[LG Optimus 2x] vainqueur:
From what I see it's a lose lose situation for 2x users. If we "force" LG to launch ics fast, it will come with tons of bugs, if we wait, well, it will never come then. I guess the only best option is wait for the end of our phone contract then switch brand. Get a Nexus branded phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
if we force lg (which is impossible, sorry) we get a rom with hopefully correct drivers, screw everything else. when devs can get their nifty hands on the drivers we can all be happy with one of cm9 roms
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Exactly!!

LG Prada 3.0 (SU540) yesterday received the upgrade to the ICS: http://bbs.gfan.com/mobile/android-4510903-1-1.html?extra=page=1

[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
True, but LG said: During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X. LG Optimus LTE has got it, Prada as well now....O2X next?
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i truly wish that would be the case. sick and tired of waiting :/
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
I really hope it will arrive soon.... I'm sick and tired of waiting.
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
Think its a bit early! We havent got ICS yet, when we do then i think its fair to ask/look into, it wouldnt be a monumental task anyway as ICS is a major update, JB is only a revision hence the proper naming scheme 4.1 instead of jumping from 4 to 5.

Of course JB looks awesome still and cant wait so i hope LG does eventually get it to our devices or the community can :). Maybe our device is getting a bit hindered by the 512mb ram but we shall see.

If the prada phone has now got ICS then i cant see ours being far as we were next on the list? Come on LG if you can make it by next month then you're forgiven in my eyes, remember that LG has had to cut its work force like crazy and isnt in the financial position like Samsung is.
[LG Optimus 2x] Luk_Optimus:
I dont think it is hindered by the 512mb ram, but by the Tegra2 chipset, which seems to be very dificult to code. (or just cause it's a Nvidia chipset)

but I agree if the update comes within one month I would forgive theme!
[LG Optimus 2x] spartanez:
I remember we were waiting for update 4.0, when we were promised 2.3 :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
But I learned something, no more LG :D, next phone only Nexus. I hope, when I come back from holiday it will be out (mid July)
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
512mb ram is more than enough there are loads of devices out there with ics and 512mb of ram, they used to say this about the htc dream with only 192mb ram and that got gingerbread in the end.

they hopefully will rethink their strategy. When the Chinese government can't make nvidia release their drivers for 500 million dollar then the xda-community neither.
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
well.. i am glad that AMD got this. i am fan of amd CPU / GPU .. no offence to NVIDIA fan but... after NVIDIA was unwilling to share their source code u will agree with me that this is big fail to them. :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I do agree with everything that's written here, but I wonder if one reason for Nvidia not sharing the source code is that they don't want to share source code with the Chinese gouvernment simply because it's the Chinese gouvernment.

thats good to know then, was only speculating but thats me not taking much interest in how linux/android manages its ram compared to windows etc. Hopefully LG will release a solid rom... hows it looking for the prada? Good effort? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
I seriously doubt this will make them think they are far too stupid....

I have left hope in lg and m eagerly waiting for some stable ics rom which has a functional camera...

samsung just released ics for Galaxy Tabs http://www.sammobile.com/2012/07/03/hot-samsung-start-ice-cream-sandwich-updates-galaxy-tablets/

what's fking LG waiting for
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
Hmm, again its a tablet so very different... Samsung is yet to release ICS to its tegra 2 based Galaxy S2 so im still stuck as to how LG worse than samsung when neither of them have?. LG just suck at communication, they will probably launch it in the next month or two or the same time as Samsung release it for their tegra 2 phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Ok edited galaxy s2 is not an tegra2 device and it has already recieved ics officially
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
He's talking about the Galaxy R, which is basically an SGSII with a Tegra2.

There is also an SGSII with an OMAP SoC which does have ICS, but that's neither here nor there.
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
News from LG Italy... bad news :(

Google Traduction.
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
Still no communication??Are they living under a rock??How long does a simple notification of the phase of ICS development take ?
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
Yeah sorry i meant galaxy r (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_r-3967.php), thanks for pointing that out rusty!.

Oh dear that LG italy news doesnt look good but then no communication could also mean they are so busy working on a good ICS and dont want to take time out by talking to customer services, maybe still ontrack for this month or next?. Or of course it means they havent done bugger all and well it will be a long long time till we see it!.

Either way we are still waiting :(. When the galaxy R gets ICS then we know LG have truely been ****e but till then id say its Nvidia making a mess of things.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
They have dial-up connection.
[LG Optimus 2x] donnelldouglas:
2X is my first LG and now with this news from Italy, I'm sure the last LG... too many delays and lack of seriousness... "life's good"?! well LG LIES good:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] albi.i:
I read that the JB Sources was given to developers like half an year before official release. Maybe they are reálny working on JB instead of ICS?
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
Lol are you serious? xD we barely made it to gb (barely cuz it glitchs as hell) and you think they are working on gb? Heheh
[LG Optimus 2x] Luk_Optimus:
the companys didn't get the whole soure, but a PDK which is something like an SDK but for hardware development. And they got it just like 2 months ago.

but you can watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuC0i4xTyrI

sorry, i dont know when they talk about that.

Latest Korean Translation

The latest translation from LG in Korea through Twitter has been:

"Optimus 2X stabilized and optimized in the ICS are trying to do my best. ICS upgrade is planned to be sequentially delivered as scheduled announcements vs. the will. Thank you."

This is basically what they have been saying for the last few days.

From their Tweets over the last few days it seems they are in the testing phase but may be having issues. They have made previous mentions of "testing".
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Thank you for following that. Keep us updated :)

I will tweet Paul O'Brien if he could have another check with his LG source for a leak.
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
" Optimus 2X upgrade the ICS is currently in effect during the test. Satisfactory ICS O / S is doing our best to provide. Thorough follow-up management offering customer satisfaction you will be the LG Mobile."

This is what they tweeted 8 hours ago
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
That would be this tweet: https://twitter.com/LG_Mobile_/status/220407193827151873

Where are the korean language experts? Google translate doesn't count as expert :D
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
he was mentioning the tweet pertaining our device
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
i think it means that every device scheduled for Q2 ICS is either released or in the late testing phase and that the results are looking good so far, they are putting the best effort they can into it.

Im happy with that, i just hope we get a solid foundation, im not fussed if the ROM itself is bollocks as the XDA devs will sort that :).
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
I don't care if LG releases a buggy version of ICS for our phone, as long as they release the so longly awaited drivers, then the devs here will take care of the rest.

[LG Optimus 2x] TheGripper:

Well in that case i should say:

What if ICS looks like Gingerbread that looks like Froyo.

Because the diference from Froyo to Gingerbread i didn't noticed a thing....:laugh:

BTW thanks tonyp, you gave another reason to keep visiting this thread
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Hope it doesn't turn up that way but in case that happens....we are backed up by devs :D
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
im a lot more interested in the increased smoothness and productivity of ics than bout its looks...
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Hey tonyp, sorry for the question but how do you know that LG korea is testing ICS for LG 2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
I'm not worried a single bit about the looks we got the Nova launcher Wich powns badly stock ics launchers and looks exactly like aosp ics
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
read some posts back...
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
I don't care how lg ics is looking. The only thing I care about is the drivers that is necessary for developers to make a ics rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I'm sorry but how important and great is this LG PRADA that they released ICS before! They also showed a preview by LG Italy about it a month ago! It has TI OMAP chipset (one of the best in the open source world) Still not convinced Tegra2 limits has nothing to do with it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Luk_Optimus:
It is knowen that the tegra2 chip is a very "complicate" chip...

But like that we know, we can buy another LG phone but none with Tegra (nvidia) :eek:

Another tweet from LG Mobile (Korea) about an hour ago:

Another generic message or could it be the real deal?
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
i think we need some native korean speakers to translate, google translate doesnt do good, i cant really understand the message
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
True, but maybe (just maybe) there is a glimmer of hope to see a release very soon...
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
i think that is referring to optimus vu which has gotten ics alredi?
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
I dunno... this was an answer to 3 people regarding updates for the optimus series... I can't be precise on which ones...but I'll be keeping a look out, since I am gonna pull off an all-nighter...

Do they post tweets often about the progress?

Thanks for keeping us up to date korg and seems like really soon we are gonna get the ics...

By the way... can someone point me the straight / easiest way to go back to stock with the latest lg image? I'm so getting this Ota.. And later back to custom roms when ever devs manage to grab the kernel with all the hwa drivers... thanks in advance

Erm i feel like in xmas eve lol...

[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
I'm also going to try their ICS build, but I'm not sure if it's going to be an OTA update or not. The LG Prada 3.0 at least, requires you to do it through their PC application, which in my opinion, is a lot of hassle.

Having that said, I'm pretty sure some devs are going to simply put the build on a flashable zip, or even more, make some optimizing tweaks out of it. It's not really necessary to go back "full stock". :)

'Prada 3.0 KT model stand - alone version of the ICS upgrade is in progress for final stabilization. Soon as possible to the satisfaction of offering the best Value Pack will promise to provide. Thank you.'

The tweet was posted a few times on the 3rd of July then a day or so later the official update arrived.

almost ios smooth.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
I wouldn't say iOS smooth. I have an ICS tablet and an iPod, and it's definitely not iOS smooth. Jelly Bean however, might be closer to iOS, many reviewers have said so. I can't say until I try a complete JB myself though :)
