nice post. however, let me phrase it this way.. is..? hehe..

thanks for the updates!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
I saw a YouTube video of the g2x running ics. Can I haz now

Also lg hates us g2x owners so I will make a petition to let them know we bought there phone. Since they announced a ics release for all there other phones they must hate g2x really bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tainle:
if they cant figure it out by now, i think it will be very long wait because they trying to find out. i told you i bought the wrong phone. hd2 ftw hahaha more roms and more better faster developers/ :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Please read the OP. It says it all. It is not ready NOW. It will be released when and only when it is ready. Give them time to get it right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
I'd have to say... Everyone but possibly tainle was being sarcastic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I have to take issue with one part of this Faq...

That LG has said the 2X is getting ICS is not true - they *NEVER* said that the G2X will get it. You may disagree with me here, but this is an *important* distinction. Why?

1) T-Mobile has to REQUEST and APPROVE the update for it to happen.

2) T-Mobile has a history of NOT Requesting and Approving updates for devices with "nearly identical except for the radio" devices in the past - such as the Vibrant, which got no Gingerbread despite *every* other major Galaxy S variant having it.

Until LG specifically says "G2X" is getting ICS, I would put it into the column of "maybe" and not definitely.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
True, but they did say the O2x would get the update. It almost certainly wouldn't be stock, but devs on the forum have made it seem like it isn't the most difficult thing porting to the G2x. Mind you, I have absolutely no idea myself, so it could be very difficult. It's still probably easier than writing drivers or finding ways to hack the phone around existing already compiled ones.

EDIT: My bad, forgot that I've only seen ports from one to the other of CM7 based things like MIUI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I don't know which Devs said porting it would be easy, but so far NOBODY has been able to port G2X and O2X Roms either direction with stock LG Code. CM based Roms, YES, but Factory Stock, NO... The radio files are very different and all attempts to port - by some very talented Devs - have ended in a nice looking rom that can't make calls.

That's not to say that if ICS were the prize, someone couldn't come up with a way, but it's *still* not a guarantee.

EDIT:

Not trying to create drama or anything, but I just think that a FAQ should stick with the facts and not hopes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I agree, the carriers don't want interchangeability of phones with their competitors' services. That's why the radio frequencies are not shared, they're fragmented between the carriers as is Android for their phones. I only recently got an Android phone but I now realize that the Open Source promise is a fraud.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psyrecx:
The faulty hardware of the HD2 is a plus also. You should include that next time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TerryMathews:
There is at least potentially one P999 device sold as an Optimus 2X - by Wind Mobile. Potentially there may be another sold by Cincinnati Bell Wireless.

LG says ALL O2X devices are getting ICS. There is a P999 sold as O2X. How is there even debate over this? After getting sued once over failing to deliver a ROM update, do you think LG is really going to fool around with technicalities?

Thats probably something else to consider from LGs point of view. TMobile didn't get sued, LG did. If I were running LG, I would make very sure to fulfill my promises this time around.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
There's a new version of Android out? How come no-one's talking about it?

But more seriously thanks to tombaker1 for the humorous post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
How is the android open source promise a fraud? I mean you do realize that they released ICS source right? Up until recently, they couldn't control what vendors did with their phones. Now, with Android being the most used phone OS, they have a little more control on everything.

A lot of people tend to blame Google/Android for the mistakes brought on with a company's phone. I know that an iPhone fanboy here at work made a comment everytime about Android when my G2x died, when it was obviously the phone itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You should read up on what Open Source is then you will understand what's causing Android fragmentation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
From Wikipedia

Open-source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. Open source code can evolve through community cooperation. These communities are composed of individual programmers as well as very large companies.

Google has done this. Now the drivers from Nvidia is something different.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
Hey man next time try not to be such a smart-ass and answer the question core memory, because now you just look like a moron.

I know what open source is, and the android operating system is exactly that. Cell phone companies have taken the open source operating system and modified it how they please.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You should read what Google stated about Android being Open Source and what they expected from that. http://source.android.com/about/philosophy.html

"We created Android in response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make sure that there would always be an open platform available for carriers, OEMs, and developers to use to make their innovative ideas a reality. We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, where one industry player could restrict or control the innovations of any other. The solution we chose was an open and open-source platform.

The goal of the Android Open Source Project is to create a successful real-world product that improves the mobile experience for end users."

It is obvious that it hasn't happened.

Now, who's the moron?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
You are pulling that from thirty philosophy and goals page... that's how they think software should bbe and their goal of making android phones. You arecompletely missing the point of what open source is trying tto prove yourself right.

Any software that the source code is open for anyone to modify to their liking without royalties is open source. Google's Android OS is exactly that. You can't sit here and tell me that their source code is unavailable, because it is.

Google doesn't own nvidia or LG, and have no say in how they use their products. Google can't tell them to make their drivers or software open source because Google has no right.

Before you post any sort of retaliation, maybe you agoyld explainhow android is fragmented. Also, it would help if you understood what goals are. Just because your goal is to make every phone work smoothly, doesn't mean it can happen immediately.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Still you. There's a huge difference between someone's actions not living up to their full expectations and calling those same actions a "fraud". They did their best to achieve what they hoped to achieve and phone manufacturers found a way to screw it up. Hardly Google's fault for not being omniscient.

P.S. Way to trash a thread with a completely humorous intent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr_Maverick:
it's been a day. Is it ready now?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Google could require that any manufacturer of handsets and components used in those handsets which use Android must provide all of the information necessary for independent developers to modify Android without restriction as is expressed in Google's philosophy statement for Android. They haven't because they're more interested in grabbing market share as quickly as they can at the expense of their Android open source philosophy. If this continues, Android will become increasingly fragmented and developers and consumers will realize that Google's open source philosophy, which they use to promote their "superiority", is fraudulent.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Many don't agree that Google has done their best to achieve the goal of their philosophy. If they had, they would have prevented "renegade" phone and component manufacturers from using Android. Consequently, that makes Google's philosophy a lie and Google fraudulent.

I also think that's why Google is now using Texas Instruments components in its new phone because T.I. is providing the information necessary to fulfill Google's Android open source philosophy whereas, NVIDIA isn't. Google should also require the same of any handset/tablet/device manufacturer which wants to use Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
So I read the faq and it helpful. Now what is ics beta download link
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
WIND's Optimus 2X (LG-P999) is not really an Optimus 2X (LG-P990), it's a rebranded G2X (LG-P999). WIND's Optimus 2X (LG-P999) has not been given an update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and, according to LG Canada, never will and won't be getting Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) either. Instead of being named Optimus 2X, WIND's LG-P999 should be named Optimist 2X because hoping for an update for that phone is Optimisitic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
ice cream sandwich is ready op...so ur post is fake and gay!!!!

look here...its easy to get it on any phone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcL-_TxnA0Y
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
Thanks now I have ICS. You made my Christmas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Ice Cream Sandwich works best in the summer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
If Google did exactly what you want them to, then it wouldn't be open source now would it? You assume that Google's Android operating system was big enough at the time to be able to bully manufacturers into making a phone how they want it.

You still haven't answered the question in the first place, what is fraudulent

about Android OS being open source? You are taking your frustation out on the manufacturers of devices not being open source on google. NVIDIA has a lot to lose by making their technology open I am sure. It is difficult from mine and everyone's stand point in this thread and on these forums as to why they don't release it open source. They have invested time and more money than me and you will ever see developing their technology.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
Agree. I cannot wait for Ice Cream Sandwich in the summer!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Qualcomm and Texas Instruments release the information about their chips and drivers that NVIDIA doesn't. Because NVIDIA doesn't do what Qualcomm and T.I. do, NVIDIA stifles development and slow and/or prevent updates for anything their chips are in. I am certain that Qualcomm and T.I. have invested more time and money than me and you will ever see developing their technology but they aren't withholding information like NVIDIA is so what are they hiding? Yes, maybe NVIDIA does have a lot to lose by revealing their source code, they might be sued because by being transparent/open source with their technology it might reveal that they have contravened patents. Read the posts about this stuff on the internet elsewhere including the NVIDIA developer website and you'll see that there are many who think there's a big problem with Android fragmentation and why and that it is causing a lot of dissatisfaction with developers and consumers

[T-Mobile LG G2x] oleg1981:
QUESTION: LG has basically said that the entire series of phones released on the G2x reference platform will all be getting ICS, so LG will release ICS for the G2x, and the only factor is now total time right?

ANSWER: Yes yes yes yes yes. The G2x is getting ICS.

i thot that G2X is based on optimus 2x?

Stupid thread that looks like it was made by an infant how is posting sarcastic questions and answers at all helpful, grow up.

Will this help us get ICS faster.

No.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Does this look like the development forum? No this is general discussion. Their are a hundred topics here that provide less to the community then this thread. At least some newbies might see this and understand when to expect a release. There is nothing in the rules that is against having fun. If you don't want any fun then head back to development please
[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
that is because this has nothing to do with the development of the ICS rom.The original post is extremely childish, and lacks any real sort of humor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Then why are you expecting every other post to be mature if the original post isn't? If the op's post is silly and fun then you can't complain about the lack of seriousness that ensues. Again there is no rule that says you can't have fun like this in the general discussion area. The op didn't state that this topic is to help get ics on the g2x, infact he stated the opposite. So stop trying to be the boss of other people's threads.

Also of course the obvious question here is....why are you expecting ICS development in a FAQ? A FAQ is a post to answer common questions not to compile roms and hacks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eraldo:
Its noy fun, its not funny an if your going to answer faqs then answer them properly or stop posting if its a joke because it doesn't come across as funny it comes across as stupid and retarded.

So I followed the instructions in the Youtube video, but it didn't work.

1) Powered off my phone

2) Took an ice cream sandwich out of the freezer

3) Unwrapped it and placed it on my P999DW

Since I'm assuming ICS should be in my phone, not on it (that's just silly), I let it melt. Now my phone won't turn on.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] running_penguin:
I wouldn't say we are wound up too tight, it's just that the original post was stupid and contributes nothing to the general discussion regarding the G2x. There are people who ***** so much about the ****ty community here, and its because of troll threads like this.

If you're going to contribute to the forum and call it an FAQ, make it a real ****ing FAQ. I am sure there are new people to the community, that see dumb posts like this and just move away from this forum before ever contributing .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Updating the phone the way you did just causes problems and bricks phones just like the T-Mobile/LG Update to Gingerbread did. People who bricked their phones with that update returned them to T-Mobile and got a replacement with the Gingerbread update installed. Phone up T-Mobile and tell them you bricked the phone when you tried to update it with ICS and they'll send you a replacement with the update installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
Dude, seriously, chill. This is a valid FAQ as it does answer frequently asked questions...questions that take up multiple threads...constantly repeated. But it does this in almost a comedic manner (depending on what you find to be comedic, obviously). Some of y'all seriously need to relax. Even one of my uptight friends laughed at this a little, lol.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] infiltwb:
i tried putting mine IN an ice cream sandwich wrapper(carvel to be exact) placed the phone in the freezer and viola! I turned my g2x into a FROZEN brick ICS!!! :D:D:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] painter_:
The problem with your method and the method on you tube is the ice cream sandwich was placed on the screen. Yes, i do understand that the screen is an input device. But I think that the back should be removed, the phone plugged in to the computer in the fast boot mode and the and the Ice cream sandwich placed on the battery. It may take 30 minutes or so but, using this method I am sure that your phone will be loaded with Ice cream sandwich.

Give this method a try and let us know the results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Did you remove Froyo or Gingerbread first? You really need to wipe the device first and then install your next os of choice. Otherwise boot loops might occur or worse you could end up with a brick. After you wiped off the froyo/gingerbread from your device then you need to find a way to get the sandwich into your Micro USB port. I think this is what's causing most developers problems. How do you fit a large sandwich into a small port. Froyo melts so you just wait for it warm up then pour it in. With ICS even though the middle will melt it's the chocolate "bread" that is what keeping the device from getting the complete experience. If we can break down the molecules then our problem is solved and we will have ICS up and running as a daily driver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
+1 yup exactly what came to my mind when i first saw this.

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Carvel isn't the correct ICS for the G2X, it must be the T-Mobile (Tasty-Mobile) brand with the P999 SKU.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Check the wrapper. You probably used an Optimus 2X sandwich.

But I guess to each their own.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
So I havent done any research and I don't know why ICS is so important to everyone, other than the facial recognition lock screen which I wouldn't use anyway on accounta I never lock my phone. Reason for this; If I die in a fiery car wreck or get stabbed by a hobo or die in anyway in which authorities might discover my body, I would hope they would be able to contact someone with my phone tell alert them of my demise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Private Pyle:
OP please update these three questions.

The following questions are misinformative:

This is where LG said the O2x will get ICS, likely in Q2 of 2011:

https://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mobile/ice-cream-sandwich-ics-os-upgrade-schedule/334420639902596

And this is where LG said that this doesn't include the G2x:

http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-ics

LG did not say whether or not the G2x will get an official release of ICS yet. Obviously, we will get a third party port of ICS no matter what LG does.

Also have a look at

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update

This definitely includes the G2x.

The tablet version of Tegra 2 (Tegra 250 T20) is not the same as the mobile phone version of Tegra 2 (Tegra 250 AP20H).

From the bottom quote, I personally would infer that they will work on a mobile phone Tegra 2 version but have not started yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
You should do research cause you are wrong.... Dead wrong

Also wouldn't it be funny if the officer used your dead face to unlock your phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
ICS is a HUGE upgrade. It's not just face recognition, that's actually the least desirable trait of ICS.

There's hardware acceleration. [Which is a HUGE plus]

Revamped Gmail, Gtalk, SMS and browser app.

And not to mention how much better the Calendar app is now.

The UI is overall smoother and much better.

And the Camera is much improved.

And this is just a small gist of what's in ICS.

Can you really say you don't care at all for any of those features?
