[LG Optimus 2x] vrowdy:
It seems not all sources have yet been fully released and Google won't release the rest until december. So, I think we'll have to wait a lot longer, I'd say somewhere around June-July to get something usable.
[LG Optimus 2x] barmyman:
No, Xoom ICS update won't help us - it has 2.6.39 kernel instead of .32 . And there is a huge difference in drivers for those kernels. We need a 2.6.39 port at least to look forward to ICS HW acc working really good( in case, it's not such impossible..for example - lu6500 - another optimus with tegra 2 and 2.6.39 kernel)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
HW acceleration already works great. We should be able to, with time fix everything except for camera. Camera could also be fixed, would just take a lot of time
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
People really seem to over-estimate the 'importantness' of an updated kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Can you explain? If I get it you say that the kernel is less important? I thought its a matter of stability for example using fps kernel with newer sources provides better functionality and stability for our phone

P.s you are correct about the select users my mistake I was excited already but than I carefully re-read the mail
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
works really nice! will adding all the functions will reduce the performance? now it looks faster than my galaxy nexus.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Lots of people seem to think that a newer kernel is some magical thing that is necessary for ICS to run. It's not.
[LG Optimus 2x] voon:
That's a bit silly to say without further precision. There can be just *anything* between two kernel versions ... from completely instable featureless uselessness to extreme beauty. If one kernel version doesn't support telephony, while the next one does, I'd rather not call that overestimated importance for a mobile phone :)

But I guess what you mean is, that there also can be subtle changes between without too much improvement.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
No most people think its something needed for ICS to run better and they are right.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Not really no. It runs greatly with the stock cm kernel, and I wouldn't want to change a bit of it. The phone itself could use a little more RAM, but other than that everything is running great
[LG Optimus 2x] barmyman:
kiljacken, Did you fix brightness? i think i know how to do it and it's very easy to do, cause in the past i made this fix for other phone, which came from 2.2 to 2.3))) also i have some thoughts about audio.. but it's hard to test on and alpha 3 build by king666( or smth like that), but whatever. PM me if needed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
I'm not very far from a noob, but as a regular Linux user since years, I agree with statements saying that a new kernel isn't necessary to run ICS.

Kernels are mainly low level drivers to enable OS communication with hardware. Newer kernels can bring newer drivers for new type of hardware (remmber when Wifi arrived, allkernel problems we had), it can bring code optimization, correct bugs, new kernel-coded features to avoid using apps in OS to do the sameetc...

But as far as hardware is the same, kernel can be the same, except if some ICS specific features need newer driver sections.

For example my one year old router runs a very often updated custom firwmare with a very old 2.6.22 kernel and there no issue with that...

So let the knowning people do what they do and we shal not bore them with useless remarks.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
We haven't fixed brightness yet. But it shouldn't be that hard. Probably just need to inform the system of the right path to write to. Audio is nearly working. We (probably) just need to fix these last few linkage errors
[LG Optimus 2x] Evil_enc:
Is GPU acceleration/GPU rendering fully working? Or is a newer kernel necessary for that?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
It's fully working, and it is awesome
[LG Optimus 2x] barmyman:
so you strongly not appreciate any side help at all(no need even a Ril master etc) :) okay,wish you goodluck then!)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
We already have a RIL master. His name is Dentette and he is awesome (He's DentTette on XDA AFAIK). As for our other problems, we really don't need the help.
[LG Optimus 2x] voon:
Something that interests me: Are you developers basically reverse engineering & trial and error parts of these devices and having problems with that (due to lack of docs or open drivers), or is everything basically clear on what to do, but just not properly working, yet? I have a bit more trust in the latter but can see how it is impossible, if the makers don't release important information :) But basically, if you say "it works", does it mean "totally like it should", or more like "well .. it seems to do what it should, it hasn't failed so far, let's see what happens"?

This is by no means meant as criticism or anything .. I just would like to know what kind of "works" we're talking with the custom builds (as I'd be happy to put a working one on a business phone).
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Most of the things are generally trial and error which everything is when the hardware platform isn't fully documented. But there's no need not to trust that. It'll work just as well as any other software once we get it working. Also much of the work has already been done (Most of our RIL code is taken from CM, and some legacy hardware stuff too), so we aren't starting this of of nothing
[LG Optimus 2x] steindani:
Did you get my email? I've sent some link that could help. (I've sent them with the XDA's email sender.)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Yeah, got your email. Haven't find a use for it yet, but who knows when it might come in handy
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'm aware of that, it was an example of how a more similar phone couldn't be used to improve the 2X :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I do second that. Our best chance is LG and the ICS Upgrade.

But never loose the hope ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
Which phone is that? Did it have the Tegra 2 AP20H?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It was the LG Optimus Q2 (LU6500).
[LG Optimus 2x] jura55:
But there is no ICS for this phone, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Not that I know of.

The thing at the time was it had a .36 kernel as opposed to the 2X's .32
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
Apparently, that phone has a Tegra 2 AP25H, not AP20H, which would have incompatible drivers.

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
And the link I gave said it's a AP20H ;)

Who is right, no-one knows.
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
The SOC processor in the link you provided is incorrect.
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
Don't OT, thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] FoliathR:
Topic here is everything related to ICS Sources! :p

I know everybody can't wait to see what arcee has to say, but seriously, I think everybody has enough of disappointments when they check and find out it's another 2 pages of "HAZ HE REPLYD YET!?!?!?!??! ANS ME PLZPLZPLZPLZPLZ".

But yeah, anybody checked the Moto and Samsung forums? Any updates from there?
[LG Optimus 2x] jamez.tankh:
just curious...actually wat's the different with and without HW acceleration???
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
No HWA means CPU does those animations and stuff, but CPUs are not good at graphics so UI may be laggy. If we have HWA then it means GPU is doing animations. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
There's a big miss here... this isn't a Star platform. That would be the only prop-stuff you'd be interested in. All the other libs are already solid so without a star build you're looking for water in an empty cup.

ro.build.product=ventana
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=ventana-user 4.0.3 IML74K user.ztetd.20120606.175004 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=generic/ventana/ventana:4.0.3/IML74K/user.ztetd.20120606.175004:user/release-keys

A quick peek into the code and it looks like they did a real patchy job to workaround overlay. You might find a crumb to pickup here or there in this thing but nothing you're looking to get excited over. I got optimistic for a moment as well. We'll see what a deeper dive yields but its looking like a time waster to be honest. ...more to come.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I just got a reply. As expected not the news we'd hoped for:

Edit: lol he already commented here, thank you for that B0XeR.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
So, again waiting for LG :(
[LG Optimus 2x] jura55:
Hi, thx for reply, but, what is Star platform?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Star = P990(H), P999 & SU660.
[LG Optimus 2x] jura55:
Ok, thx for explanation. So we have Star platform which use Tegra2 chipset and now we have ZTE Grand X platform which use the same (correct me if i'm wrong) version of Tegra2. The problem we have in our CM9 ROMs is that we are missing some part of Tegra2 functionality contained in nvidia proprietary drivers. So what is the true reason why we couldnt use drivers for Tegra2 from ZTE Grand X?
[LG Optimus 2x] sane?:
Of course, the reason LG is so horrifically late with the ICS rollout *could* be that they have decided to jump directly to v4.1 (Jelly Bean) and therefore need the official announcement from Google before they can make it available.

The squadron of pigs is currently flying in formation over my house...

:silly:
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Well, that's an optimistic reason... but don't get your hopes up... I'm not even sure any more if the P990 is even going to have a 4.0.4 update, nevermind a 4.1 ...
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
wouldnt be bad at all though :D
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
all i have to say is, LG Y U LIE AND NOT BE LIKE SONY ERICSON TO PROVIDE ICS UPDATE TO MOST OF THEIR PHONES ALREADY INCLUDING THE NOT SO EXPENSIVE XPERIA ACTIVE
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
When GB was so delayed, people said this about ICS :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Wanted to say the exact same thing. I highly doubt they're waiting for a release from Google, be it 4.1 or 5.0.

Ahahaa I love the new Cyclops smiley: :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
It suxs to go back on waiting for lg... Guess this its becoming a death/any news thread again until q4
[LG Optimus 2x] pablo86ht:
I know this same opinion has been said so many times but I am seriously thinking that was a really bad idea to get this phone. Next one will be a Nexus, for sure. And right now the nexus galaxy is kind of cheap where I live... (370€).

Any of you have an idea about how much I could get if I sell my 2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Probably in the region of £150 (or your local currencies equivalent), give or take a few £.
[LG Optimus 2x] sleepingsword:
I guess its time to give up on the O2X, here I come SGSIII :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mancukya:
When they wear on ICS S1 they did not fix the source for everything unfortunately there was only one person to another just adapt their Rom. Lg 2x the community is not too large. I see the same problem with Galaxy tab, mini, ace the problem with the camera.

Many people make package for Rom but not for hacking on Android.

You already have the rom ICS Tegra 2. I respect the work of everyone but the truth remains the truth.

Most developers take what they need on another rom but to resolve the problem do not have enough knowledge.

I said thank you to all developers for their work and I respect them a lot but for me the Android community lack experience and knowledge that is blocking something. I prefer to have 1 or 2 ROMs in ICS instead of 50 as the other seek to resolve problems before they leave ICS almost identical.

Woah this became a useless/dead thread... Time to sell my wife's o2x?

Dead community = dead phone...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Do whatever you like with your wifes phone.

But I don't see a dead community, many xda subforums would be quite happy by the amount of devs (both ROM and kernel) the lge-star devices have. And the 2x is officially supported by CM, which is another (great) plus. LG has promised us an ICS upgrade and with that release we will have fully working ICS custom roms eventually.
[LG Optimus 2x] tehchap:
Zte Grand x has an Nvidia tegra 2 and It runs ICS, Can someone check if there is a possibility to make a porting?

[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Ive asked them today and this is part of reply.. i guess its just automatic or ctrl c ctrl v reply coz it was damn fast around 30 secs from submiting. So i assume theres no point in asking them.

.... The global upgrade schedule will begin in the second and third quarters of 2012, which will be followed by a global roll out. During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begi n for the following smartphone models: the LG Optim us LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, th e LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Ecli pse. These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third qu arter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Bla ck, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the L G Optimus EX..... blah blah blah
[LG Optimus 2x] wfd:
which will be followed by a global Troll
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Q2 is almost gone......they're fooling us
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
It seems like they have started working on updates in q2 and q3 and when its done it will be followed by global rollout so it seems like q4 for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
They haven't even started it, i think they may have driver problems them selves, it wasn't needed for gingerbread or froyo and i think all the brands like samsung, lg, ,motorola who have phones with this tegra chipset in it are have big problems getting ICS to run without the drivers, it seems odd that none of them have one yet for this version of the tegra chip especially after what nvidia said, maybe nvidia is saying this to them as well.

linus torvalds also said nvidia is hell to work with which is why he told them **** you lol.
[LG Optimus 2x] spartanez:
But the tablets with tegra2 upgraded to the ICS...
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Is really that hard for big corporations to make it work? I doubt nvidia wont support them with these drivers and documentations.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
They run a dif chipset.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
You're mixing different things here. Linus Torvalds said that it's the single worst company to work with - for open source developers like him because Nvidia doesn't release usefull source codes or implement open APIs.

LG on the other hand does get (reference) source code from Nvidia for the tegra2 chipset.
[LG Optimus 2x] tyger995:
Any Idea please?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Try chaning the kernel.

And I have no idea what k2,k3 is.
[LG Optimus 2x] tyger995:
Now its working but when i Connect my phone one to PC-Phone is charging but i cant connect it with PC ,Phone one second Conetcs and then in 1 sec Disconnect

Find a kernel you want to try here on xda and just flash the kernel zip in cwm.

[LG Optimus 2x] Thronesmasher:
eh, lol?
[LG Optimus 2x] bit_imp:
LG UK previously gave this answer to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
The release date that LG gives depend alot on which country you are.

Some say end June, others July and others September....who to trust.

We are here talking about LG and is update to ICS...What about the other brands who have devices with the same tegra2....Samsung for example, their Galaxy R is still waiting too.

All this makes me thing what if this is only Nvidia's fault.

They wanted to be the first to launch a dual core ARM processor and because of this they messed up everything and we the customers are suffering the consequences.

Maybe this tegra2 can't even run 3.0 kernel. They used the froyo's kernel for gingerbread.....
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
That sounds like he was making all that up... September was a random answer to get rid of you for the 3 months with a chance of getting rid of you forever if the update comes before that lol
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
There are a couple of ZTE phones with Tegra 2 already running ICS, so it may not be entirely NVIDIA's fault.

By the way, the countries in which LG has said June (like Italy or maybe Germany), people should start bugging them now again :D

Exactly my thoughts, in September they will say Q4 :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
what ever it is, when one update is released (in whatever region), the floodgates for all (hopefully) fully functional cm9 roms, without the hacks will be for all, all we need is a leak
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
thats exatcly what we need, but there are no leaks. and you know why ? because lg hasnt even started working on ics for 2x :D
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Seriously guys, stop it with the "LG hasn't started doing anything". You aren't honestly wanting that to happen, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Blaming lg is good way to kill some time until they release it. Remember gingerbread update lies?
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
I think LG wants to integrate quick voice in all their ICS builds..maybe the delay will be increased due to the extra time for integrating the quick voice framework?
[LG Optimus 2x] vcrp94:
I think this phone is already dead, if the update arrives by September i don't care, i'm getting the O4X anyway.. (I know i might be dumb for buying another LG+Nvidia phone but it seriously looks like it is a whole different beast, looks like it shipped with a decent software, at least some reviews say so, but the camera focus looks a little bit buggy...)
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
maybe but isnt better to release ics to angry customers to calm them down and then in few months quick voice update? Honestly I dont care about some voice control. I think it wont be even 80% reliable and i cant imagine myself talking to some freakin phone like tard.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
some alredi lost patience with lg, but i guess i spent too much on the phone to chg to another phone at the moment, oh well why did they have to make a promise they cannot keep
[LG Optimus 2x] bit_imp:
Samsung Galaxy R will receive the update from July 23.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725044

upd: But the real problem in the LG. They have not updated any of the popular phones (o2x, OB, O3D)
[LG Optimus 2x] FatherJony:
That should be good news for us. Samsung is bound to do a good job with the binary driver. The devs will probably need the kernel source as well, to see how it works with the driver and port the thing to our kernels. The video camera might still be problematic without drivers from LG though (do we have the sources for it?).
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
lg might release the update around the same time, q3
[LG Optimus 2x] dktblade:
LG and Samsung have many phone model, so i think they will not support for old phone. They product new model to instead.
[LG Optimus 2x] FatherJony:
Call me a pesimist but i seriously doubt that :P. When Lg tells you it's Qn they usually mean it's Qn+2.

Yes they do, but x2 was a flagship model for LG, Samsung is still supporting the Galaxy S with updates, which was their flagship 2 years ago.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
The Galaxy S that will never officially have ICS you mean ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
I hope its Q3
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
No he means Qn+2.

Actually, I second that, I lost the "hope" in a better update policy by LG. More than one year for an Android 4 ROM :D

Nice evidence of incapacity, and people from here are buying the next LG phones like the 4x anyways, why should that change.
[LG Optimus 2x] tyger995:

[LG Optimus 2x] elefas:
After almost 4 months trying every build of owain's fantastic ics roms (the guy does incredible work its not his fault h/w accelaration missing), I reverted back to GB (v20s) and seems to me that I have a new phone again. Super stable fast browser, camera etc. So I will quietly await till LG releases its infamous ICS update. If not, latest GB roms release phone's full potential which is totally acceptable by me for as long as I use this phone.

Well Google unveiled today the jb sculpture and usually they announce the os release date 1 or 2 days after that so we will know about it tomorrow or Friday... And sadly we are still on gb... At least that brings hope cuz possibly lg releases ics for our phone around the same time Google releases jb

Edit: Wich means we are going straight to jb cuz for sure with the ics kernel devs can put together a 100% working JB rom... And this could be really interesting since we might get jb way before 4x and such and gentlemans I will ROFL hard with this happening :D

So I feel with a renovated hope.. JB here we gooo
[LG Optimus 2x] goodmamba:
same here!

Take a look at my signature:)

My story goes back long before ICS. The day i bought my 2X I rooted it and switched to CM7. I haven't even tasted the official ROM. I always thought that the poor incall sound quality was a given thing. ... I even tried many ICS roms and finally reverted to a mooded stock rom.

The result was astonishing! Now I love my phone and wait for the stock ICS.
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Yeah i did it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Will lg add CAF for video recording in ics? What do you think?
