Woah woah woah, today's revelations are bigger news than the ics update. Lg actually have a customer service department that are talking to people and using big clever words that are related to the source? Is today the rapture or something?
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
Next Friday is tomorrow...
[LG Optimus 2x] panzerpig:
"As we estimated, we will release the source code before next Friday."

Still isnt a firm date..
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Yes, it seems to be the way of LG. But the thing is that the devs can use the unlocked GB bootloader for their roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] OptimusXX:
Nope....only coming Friday is Tomorrow...Next friday is 27th Oct....But we already know how much LG is good in keeping promise on deadlines...so so so so as always keep wait.....:mad::mad::mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] paul_cad44:
I seriously doubt it the Person who is answering fully understood my questions so take take next Friday as the 26th October. Don't forget they did say "before" may be the fabled Wednesday/thursday
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Just as they estimated Q2?
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
exactly.. never trust in lg's estimates..

BTW they mean that they have to separate their INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY from the source code.. like their quick memo and such?
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
I email lg today and they replied the same thing that the source code release before next friday
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
Ok. Let's wait another week.
[LG Optimus 2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
+1 on this. It would be awesome.
[LG Optimus 2x] anjo88:
If today is Thursday next friday is tomorow ?

No, this friday is tommorow, next friday is first next friday after this friday :) (here in Czech republic :D )
[LG Optimus 2x] Cylx:
Buying an Optimus G is a big mistake:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] anjo88:
In my opinion it is because of LG!
[LG Optimus 2x] Cylx:
I have 2X and i am also pissed off about updates like other users but this phone seems amazing to me

Dear xxxxxxxxcxxx

As we expected, we will release the source code before next Friday.

Thank you.

Just got this frm lg
[LG Optimus 2x] ReguDavid:
Code source

Friday = Tomorrow?

Friday = 26/10/2012?
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBlackCat:
Ok, now we can only wait 7 days, just long enough to get to page 990. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
They said:

1-2 week after official release,

the release come the 2012-10-11.

if we add 2 week, source will come the 2012-10-25 at max.

just wait ;) if you have a LG, you know how to ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] btg202:
I said this to them;

Hi,

I understand before next Friday, but do you have a specific day? It would make a lot of loyal LG users very happy.

Thanks,

and I got this reply

Dear ######.

We know how many customers are waiting for the source code.

Unfortunately we can’t guarantee a specific day.

We just try to do our best.

Thank you.

BR.
[LG Optimus 2x] sane?:
Standard usage would be that this Friday is tomorrow, and next Friday is in a week and a day's time.

I think if they were planning to release the source tomorrow, they would have said tomorrow.

Has anyone asked recently about the release date for the 2X stock ROM?
[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
It´s mistake buying any phone from LG!
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:


Ask for P990, it's already released for O2X....

It's LG we're talking with :p

LG never again...
[LG Optimus 2x] heavencanwait:
To all the people typing "LG never again!" and similar: try to get this:

No, I mean really - no one gives a f*ck if you will buy LG so you might as well not waste your time and type it.

Good luck and have fun!
[LG Optimus 2x] apathyap:
Your post is unacceptable.. Don't discriminate other. You ... immoral man.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
Guys, please note that THIS perfomance is the BEST LG can do. And don't buy their stuff anymore! Just don't.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

And this is to you:

I care about people who say "Never again LG". I don't care at ALL about your petty little complaint. You might as well not have wasted your time to type it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sjamaan:
Again LG never.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
No, but it has been repeated so many times that "No more LG" or "LG never again" has become a big hit in searches. That, my friend, is how we make difference.

Put it this way.

An buyer is about to buy a phone. The buyer knows that he/she want an android and finds a bargain LG produced phone. He/she searches on the net and all he/she finds is this short sentence. I that buyer buys that LG anyway he/she is pretty stupid. Then LG begins to loose both old customers AND potentially new ones.

Maby you have a better way to change the LG way? Maby undress and walk up-and-forth outside LG HQ shouting obscene things. Well... that is up to you.

BUT WE DO SOMETHING!!!

So don't whine about something you obviously don't care about.

Leave us that actually try to make a big difference alone and go get an iPhone. Bye bye be gone.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Unfortunately he does have a point - us "geeks" who love custom ROMs and care about what's new in a software update are still the minority.

LG, and pretty much all Android manufacturers, can easily shrug off the "damage" from people like us boycotting their phones.

The average smartphone buyer cares about the camera, the screen size, and whether the phone is "fast" or "slow." And of course the price. The words bootloader/root/custom ROM mean nothing to them. If LG continues to make good-looking phones that don't lag on the stock rom and have nice cameras and a competitive price, the silent majority will continue to support them.

Anyway, I hope the guy saying the sources will be released "before next Friday" isn't bulls**ting us. I'm tried of broken promises.

Btw, I'll just join in on the "LG never again" bandwagon, after finding yet another glitch in this phone that my HTC Desire Z never experienced.
[LG Optimus 2x] Reinh4rd:
Indeed... There's a big difference between DO and TRY TO DO...

But... Pls stop to cry about LG, we can't do anything more... Just wait again

[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I like how LG's server message for these currently non-working links says "File deos not exist".

Come on, I know they're a Korean company, but if you want to reach out to a global market you should be more competent in English...

The fact that they're this sloppy with error messages does imply that their devs act very sloppily and lazily towards older products.

Google search results for "Never buy LG again": 129 million.

Search for "Never buy Samsung again": 163 million.

Search for "Never buy iPhone again": 847 million.

Guess which is the most popular!
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
According the numbers of devices each and one has sold I think LG won in % measured
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
You've discovered why it takes so long for LG to develop and release software/firmware, spelling mistakes.
[LG Optimus 2x] inzan1ty:
You should search for the phrase not for the individual words (you actually search for "Never buy LG again" with "), then you get:

Google search results for ""Never buy LG again"": 30 900

Search for ""Never buy Samsung again"": 16 100

Search for ""Never buy iPhone again"": 1 790
[LG Optimus 2x] Gabriiel_Melo:
So,

Qe have wait to tomorow and see if LG will release the sources.
[LG Optimus 2x] mas2112:
I don't know about you guys, but people come to me for advice on electronics. I have told everyone never to buy LG smart phones, and they all decided to buy something else.

I disagree that complaining here doesn't make a difference. When people google search for a product and see a massive number of complaints, that must be a huge deterrent.

Also, I like to know that others are just as miserable as I am :)
[LG Optimus 2x] jordantr:
Im not so categoric, but after new year, then i will take new smart i will think twice, however optimus g looks promising :)
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
Keep in mind lg and Samsung make everything and iPhone has only ever been about 9 models and only ever phones. I know from threads on avforums that never buy x again comes up a lot for TV and blu ray players too, usually that's because of an actual fault though not just sloppy updating. Worryingly though its still lg I tend to see them posts about
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
First of all I'm NOT excusing me for my grammar due to the fact that this isn't English school. Im from Sweden and normally don't care about English grammar.

Next up is that I really love my phone... hardware that is. I hope that there will be a change in marketing structure of LG concern of all the negative response they actually get.

Next is that your words are bigger than your mouth and you seem to be a bit egocentric in your tone.

Almost finally iPhone is useless and so it might actually be made for you.

And finally I give you a big :facepalm: for your great words about your way of understanding customers power against the bigones (maybe one :banghead: for your obscene words)
[LG Optimus 2x] langdawg:
I don't even know why you are looking at this forum. Seriously, this is probably not the place for you. Go read engadget.

P.S. I fixed your first sentence to be grammatically correct since that is obviously a sore spot for you. :) Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:
We don't care about the grammar unless we can understand/predict what people are trying to convey, theres no need to apologize for it online since there are hundreds of countries having tons of different languages :P

[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Thanks mate :)
[LG Optimus 2x] chackodepacko:
Actually the point is that I guess only less than 10% of worldwide P990 owners, I rather guess about 5%, care about ICS. I also would be happy to get ICS, but I dont really care. My phone functions well, so what's the point of thinking that ICS will dramatically change your life??? ICS has some advantages, but it does not change your life. But for some people it seems that their life sticks to that ICS. So keep cool. LG's policy is not the best, but what can we do? Nothing really. So, just wait :) Life does not end.
[LG Optimus 2x] g0at:
This. Exactly this.

No point in arguing here, we're all in the same boat.

The facts are:

1. LG after care / software updates are gash

2. Some people will f*ck them off as a result of this saga, some won't. Neither are right or wrong to do so
[LG Optimus 2x] deewhy:
Are you on the stock ROM? Because the stock LG ROM does not function that well, which is why I'm really looking forward to ICS and hoping that they've fixed the problems.

I know I can flash temaseks CM7 which I've heard good things about, but if CM10 is going to come out "soon" I'd rather wait for that.

Here are the problems I have with the current stock ROM:

My phone gets really really laggy after a day of use, and I'm forced to restart because of how unusable it gets.

I also get a lot of apps crashing.

The phone itself also crashes every once in a while. The screen goes black and the phone reboots itself after waiting over a minute or so.

Browser performance in WebKit based browsers is abysmal. Slow loading, jerky scrolling. Flash video is almost unusable.
[LG Optimus 2x] langdawg:
I'm using Temasek's rom on my G2x and I have to say this is one smooth ROM. I was going to wait as well but...well...I'm sick of waiting. I look forward to our gracious dev's who haven't bailed on this turd of a phone building JB for it but this holds me over in the interim.
[LG Optimus 2x] chackodepacko:
I am indeed using the original one, what you call I guess stock Rom. My phone functions well. I dont know what you all do with your phones, but the phone does what it should do. Surfing, calling and using apps. Sometimes, but really not always and not often, it loads slow, but no reason to get angry why it loads 4 sec. longer. What's the benefit of getting 4 sec. faster? What do we do with the time we save? Nothing. Of course it is always better to have a better phone with better features, but when you come to this term, then you can start saying from today that ICS is **** because the next-next coming Android version, for example Android 4.5 or 5.0 will be much better and much faster than ICS. At that time you will look back and will say: ICS was really **** in comparison to 5.0.

So what I am saying is: it is always nice to have ICS or a higher android version, but you should not make your heads crazy to get ICS. And as I said: LG's policy is not the best. But no reason to make the community crazy. And also, the ones, who are shouting "Never buy LG again", some of them will buy again LG. For sure, perhaps a model which comes after LG Nexus.
[LG Optimus 2x] Wimz3n:
Guess you're right in most meaning. For me it has become an obsession plus that I'm looking forward to extend the funktionality of my bt headset.

I can only speak for myself when I believe that I'm going to be a bit dissapointed when ics is released. Actually thought of it when reading you post. I have very high expectations in ics, probably too high.

Might aswell be frustration that drives me. And of course the frustration of LG big neglect of us customers.

This is from a Guy that try so hard to have the latest that I'm already tested ics/jb and have been running win8 for about six months. I'm that Guy that wanted to test win95 on the original Xbox just for the fun of it. I'm that Guy that grew up with an amiga500 and a soldering gun and made miracles. I'm that Guy that is alone... Only this forum enlighten me. Make purpose of my life.

And I'm that Guy that just zipped his last beer and head for the bed. My boss is going to kill me if I'm late again *yawn*

Goodnight to you all
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Has everyone taken some one seriously talking about (LG WILL RELEASE ICS FOR P990 WHEN THIS FOURM REACHES 990TH PAGE)...btw its cool to be in this thread I get to learn a lot:p:thumbup::p
[LG Optimus 2x] deewhy:
My problem isn't with Gingerbread itself. I don't just want LG to release ICS because it's a newer version of Android, I want them to release ICS because I'm hoping they will have optimized the OS better for the phone this time around.

Gingerbread itself is fine. My problem is specifically with LG's implementation of Gingerbread, which is garbage compared to the implementations of other manufacturers. I've used other Tegra2 devices before, they run a lot better than the O2X. The fact is, the O2X's hardware potential is being wasted when using LG's Gingerbread ROM.

Now again, I realize this can be fixed with CM7, but it wouldn't have to be this way if LG had just gotten Gingerbread right to begin with.

With regards to your statement about the speed: Often times my phone hangs for much much longer than 4 seconds. Yes, I'm generally patient enough to wait for it, but it's a bit ridiculous when my dual-core phone sometimes lags more than my friends single-core phones. What's the point of buying a phone with powerful hardware if I can't even expect it to perform well all the time. My phone also crashes badly quite often, taking minutes for it to recover from the crashes (screen freezes for over a minute, then goes blank for a bit longer, and then the phone reboots itself).
[LG Optimus 2x] debido666:
Hmmm

Your not the only guy. Also grew up with Commodore. Vic 20, 500-4000 video toaster even the rare SX-64 portable. Various Apple's. Too many PC's to list. Wish I didn't throw that mint condition Lisa away years ago :( Anyway. I traded my iPhone 3GS for a Thrill 4G. Wanted to hack a new toy and get in to Android. Something that would have ICS or higher (hw accel and chrome, really). When I traded, read here and other sites that in Q3 the O3D (P920) will get it. And it'll work on a P925. Still waiting. I've also done research on cheap Indian phones on eBay with less specs than my phone that come with ICS.

Probably just sell it and get a HTC vivid with a cracked digitizer and repair it. It has ICS. Heck, maybe even get a Pantech.

LG hardware: good. LG android support: bad. Didn't they sign an agreement with google to support phones after the O2X for 18months?
[LG Optimus 2x] chackodepacko:
@ deewhy:you said that the hardware could do more, but is limited in performance due to Gingerbread. That is one true point. Fortunately I did not buy that mobile new ( it did cost a lot). In such case that would be a real pity.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
One of the things that mostly annoyed me with GB on the o2x has always been the lags n stutters. Scrolling has never been absolutely smooth on the o2x and i have entered into many discussion on why this would be. Going thru home screens, animated widgets, menus, webpages, calendar etc.. Everything that could be scrolled, stuttered. I have to say that, trying the Dev ICS leak, i am quite amazed by the result. The o2x is super-smooth!! No more fps drops.. ever. I have actually pushed it as much as i could, by for example scrolling fast on a news widget and while it scrolls hit home screen preview. It keeps scrolling in the preview window! The fact is that, even though one can tell that this ROM is not optimised by any way, HWA has really made the phone look and feel better. Many will think that this is a secondary issue, but for me it makes a big difference in the way i interact with the device and its definetely less annoying than having to scroll back because u lost the contact/link/etc because of a stutter. Im very curious to see its performance with CM10...
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
We are happy for you that your expectations are low. So be happy! Others are not, for valid reasons. Since they don't lecture you, why do you try to lecture them?

My Optimus has PLENTY of issues, of which the support (!) told me they would be fixed by the ICS update. That's sudden reboots, BSOD, especially while charging the phone.

Oh, and the screen sometimes lags. I tried custom ROMs, temasek's proved to be best, but Hei's ICS implementation sorted my problems. Just without Hardware Acceleration.

I am not a rare case. A large chunk of Optimus have these issues, and that is also what the support told me. Wait for the update, issues are addressed.

Besides that the new GUI is NOT a small issue. It's a big one for user experience.

So please - if you don't demand much or your device works properly, that's fine. But telling others off because you are rather ignorant is really rude and unnecessary.
[LG Optimus 2x] chackodepacko:
Haha, some peoples are really weird. I just told: relax. And this guy wants to slap me just because he thinks I am lecturing him. I wonder how your whole personality is. And yes, I have not lectured anyone. I just sayed to take it easy. But tolerance is not his way. And by the way, thank him for letting me know that people with low expectations are not welcomed in this thread.

And yes, I have avoided to use the word "you" otherwise this smart guy will slap me again....
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
This. My O2X is usually faster than my HTC Desire Z - but every once in a while it gets "lag spikes" that make it slower than my DZ (which happens to run a single core previous gen 800 Mhz scorpion, that was OC'ed to 1024). Things like my onscreen keyboard not popping up right away, or the browser needing a force close, or even scrolling my app list. Sometimes I just reboot the phone because the performance has unexpectedly dipped below average. And I've also had two BSODs over four months, whereas I've owned my DZ for almost a year and a half and never encountered one problem that required me to pull the battery.

I expect much more from my O2X than from my DZ, because LG marketed this phone as a high end model with promised updates. What complaints I have about my O2X, I don't have for my DZ, because HTC marketed it as a lower mid range model, and never promised updates. And keep in mind that apart from the Canadian division, LG had always promised ICS and never took back that promise.

I respect that others expect less from their phones and they have every right to feel indifferent over this fiasco. But to insult those of us who rightfully feel angered is just uncalled for.
[LG Optimus 2x] Intelmaster90:
Yeah ICS is defintly the greatest Android Version atm. Its running smooth and very good. WLAN works after restart. GPS works pretty good and all of my 2D and 3D runs very good without problems.. Youtube lags a little bit.

I think in the next 2 weeks we get a fully working device without LG Sources...
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
I think I'll be using it as my daily driver tomorrow, but I am not too sure if we will get an updated version in the next few days/weeks because as arcee said , this is a zero support version and the doesn't wether he will release another one in the next time or not
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
It runs really good here also got gapps installed all seems fine besides minor hick ups of menu selection amazing job!!!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!

Bb 725
[LG Optimus 2x] magicmarkus:
questions

so, which bb and cwm version is needed?

an @vorkkernelteam when did you release our rom?

by the way also gread work from you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dekudan:
My battery's been bad, but I guess it's because I've been working its pants off. Still far better than the G2X hack. I was equally astounded by the camera, though. Great handling of the Flash.

I'm going to try and daily driver it for as long as possible. Perhaps we'll start seeing more "official" versions because the feedbacks been so good.

It's a shame you guys don't work together, or he doesn't like working with others. Still, I think everyone appreciates your work.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Dude, we've been working together, but the goal of this project wasn't getting everything handed working from arcee. We did this from the bottom up, as a learning experience, and it really has been.
[LG Optimus 2x] magicmarkus:
@kiljacken so look at my post

i think your are one of the best
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
hi to all of comunity! ...especialy to ppl who was brake the ICS / LG / and ( hate nvidia ) NVIDIA barier.

[LG Optimus 2x] Dekudan:
Ohhh, I see. Ok. I just got the impression that RC is a very singular person. Sorry for my broad generalisation. :D

I didn't want to come across as even slightly dismissive of your work. I'll lurk again now.
