[Vibrant General] Woody:
See my guide to go from 2.1 to ICS and one if the top lines tells you how to go from Froyo to ICS.

GB bootloaders are no longer needed but suggested. Probably the only scary part of the whole process, but it is actually the easiest.
[Vibrant General] rblancrt:
CM7 needed before ICS or not?

From a post in the same thread as your guide:

"

If you want a stable 2.2 try Toxic8 (I run this with Gingerbread theme as my "home" ROM when I am not testing), Deranged9, Bionix (no longer supported) and Bionix Fishman's version (this is supported), Bi-winning. All you have to do to flash these is follow the instructions above and when it comes time to flashCM7, skip it and flash the ROM of your choice."

Does this mean that if I have Bionix already that I don't need to go to CM7 before ICS?
[Vibrant General] Dattack:
There are a couple of ICS Roms where you can come from froyo. You have to probably flash it twice to get into the specific cwm.

To get back to you bionix, you have to use Odin to get back to stock.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
This is from a different thread in a different context. Someone was asking how to flash a custom ROM, IIRC.

If you want ICS, you have to flash CM7 first, let it bootloop, pull the battery, reflash and then once it settles, flash ICS.

Also, don't apologize for being detailed or thinking that you are reading into too much, Wished more were like this.

From the Guide
[Vibrant General] mikesdot:
so any luck with getting to ICS from bionix 1.3.1...cause im still in the same spot...and im very wary as to what to do as well...so if any luck...please let me what you did...
[Vibrant General] atatistcheff:
I just did it

If you follow the instructions in the Passion ICS thread it's pretty straightforward. I had never used Odin before even though I had flashed Bionix almost a year ago. I'm not a phone guru, just somebody who likes to mess with these custom ROMs.

These steps are high level, you can find specific links in numerous places.

Here's what I did:

- Download Odin

- Download the required files to flash the phone back to stock 2.1 (.pit file and .tar file)

- Backup apps with Titanium (don't bother backing up the system it's different in newer versions anyway and all you'll have is trouble if you try to restore system settings)

- Backup anything else you feel is important on your internal and external SD cards

- Use Odin to flash the phone back to stock

- Root the phone (using the update.zip technique)

- Install clockwork recovery (I found an update.zip for this too)

- Flash the Cyanogenmod version of ICS (no longer under development but you need it for the boot loaders). You will likely encounter a boot loop in this process. Don't panic, just pull the battery once it loops a few times. Boot back into recovery and flash again.

- From this point you can now flash ICS using clockwork, following this you can restore your apps with Titanium if desired

ICS totally rocks by the way. I've been using Passion v13 RC1 for a week now. Tried the newest one Euphoria but it didn't work out for me.
[Vibrant General] rblancrt:
I have to admit that I never tried ICS. I have been using an ICS theme for a long time so my phone looks like it has ICS on it. I was also leary of the mute/unmute problem I had read about and wasn't sure about how well good GPS was.
[Vibrant General] jnusz:
I've been testing out the ICS that is to become CM9 with the latest build being 16 found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503038

It's really stable... granted not everything is implemented such as a number of the settings screens. But I was on CM7 when I installed it so I was able to just flash it direct.
[Vibrant General] hondaxacura:
This method works great! I used this last week and had some trouble with boot loops. But nothing that can't be fix with removing the battery. I suggest finding the youtube video that is on the ICS Passion thread. The person does it on real time, so you can follow along as you do it.

I love ICS passion. It is as smooth or even smoother than Bionix. :)
[Vibrant General] amandadam:
Just follow instructions in OP of attached link and your good.

-Download ICZen and place it on your internal sd

-Reboot to Clockwork Recovery

-Perform a wipedata/factory reset

-Go to mounts and storage and format the system partition

-Flash your downloaded ICZ rom file

-From the main menu of recovery, perform a wipedata/factory reset again

-Reboot

-On bootup, give it a few minutes to settle in, reboot and use as normal.

-Enjoy your ICZen!

No need to have GB boots and if you want to go back,odin to stock to reflash Bionix and then your nandroid.

This is a great ICS rom and I'm a huge Bionix fan,with a 1.3.1 and 1.3.1 Fishman final nandroid backup.
[Vibrant General] vshun:
I flashed Passion ICS rc13 on 2 Vibrants, one from Bionix 1.3.1 and another from trigger 2.2 and skipped some steps (like GB bootloader) and they are working just fine.

My steps:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Flash CM GB.

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. Flash Neobuddy ICS

5. Flash kernel.

6. Let the phone boot, sign up and do its setup.

All in all, took maybe 30 minutes first phone and 20 min second phone once I got more comfortable.
[Vibrant General] licktheback:
bionix 1.31 striaight to CM7 then on to ICS?

Do you have to go back to stock? Why couldn't you just flash to CM7 then go on to ICS? I am on Bionix 1.31 and this process just seems easier.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I think mute/unmute is hit or miss. But if you are worried about or need GPS, dont flash an ICS rom.

Also, when upgrading fro 2.2 -> 4.0, take out your external sd card prior to that! It might cause a bootloop when flashing the initial CM7 rom. I happened to me and also other people on youtube (where I found out, was the source of the problem)

Yep you can, just make sure you make a back up and clear all data
[Vibrant General] jaliscojorge:
It's mainly to get rid of any ghosts left from other roms to avoid any bugs not caused from the rom you install and avoid giving a rom a bad review without giving it a clean canvas to start with.

[LG Optimus 3D] Araltd:
I'm new to android, as I have been a long time iphone user. This LG o3d is my first android I've actually tried to use... And my question is how does this O3D compare to other Android phones?
[LG Optimus 3D] xtian63:
Froyo 2.2.2

Battery sucks when 3D and 3G/4G is used a lot, but will last about 2 days with calls and SMS only

a bit of a response lag opening 3D menu when on standby for a long time but only about a second

only EU/UK and Rogers CA got/getting GB 2.3

other than that i love it, specially the ladies saying oohh and ahhh why cant my iPhone do that

i assume you have an international O3D version and not the LG Thrill from AT&T because the O3D international has 1700AWS and will work with Tmo 3g/4g
[LG Optimus 3D] umirin:
battery life seems really crappy to me. I made a topic about that.

it's my first android phone though so other than that it seems cool.

I don't get the hype on the 3D though. Maybe if you like the 3D games like nova? The 3D gallery and the rest of the stuff just seems useless.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Phone is great, between the best phones out there. But unfortunately it is made by LG, so if you use GB be prepared to have ghost calls, people are going to try to call you but the phone won't ring. I am using my old Nexus S as a phone cause I can't stand to miss calls. I use O3D as a media player or because of the 3D functions. Must carry always 2 phones with me. LG really sucks.
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
Exactly, I switched back to iphone4 as main phone and now O3D is backup as too many people complaint about not picking up the phone or not replying to sms including wifey ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
Signal - Pretty good. Also seems to get much more wifi connections than other phones (My DHD only gets 1-2 wifi networks, My O3D seems to get 10+ Networks)

Speed (Gaming) - Mid-high end. Plays most HD Games smoothly.

Smoothness (Stock) - Mid end - The stock lg launcher and quite alot of other stuff such as the camera/weather/changing music track by swyping the album art seems to be somewhat laggy, even though the hardware is more than capable. Install a custom launcher/music app/camera.(no 3d)

Battery Life (Idle) - Not very good, especially with a data connection on. Pretty average (4-5%/night) with 2g/no data. 2-3% a night with Airplane mode (Pretty much all other phones I've had use 0% on this mode)

Battery Life (Music+Screen Off) - Amazing. pretty much 1% every 20-30 minutes (Internal SD. External depends on card)

Battery Life (Screen On + non intensive task) - slightly below average, around 4 hours screen on time

Battery Life (HD Games) - Horrible. Sometimes only 1 hour depending on the game.

Development - low-medium.
[LG Optimus 3D] Araltd:
I really want to love this phone, but can't. There seems to be one problem or another... I had heard about ghost calls, but didn't realize it what it was exactly.... There's nothing more useless than a phone that doesn't receive calls! :mad:

Iv just re rooted my phone and noticed there's like 10 new governors ... No idea what they do? I'm currently using lazy? What's best for battery life /good performance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
Interactive provides lag free performance and absolutely kick ass battery life for my phone. Not as trendy as the new governors with the stupid names, but it works flawlessly for me.

My phone is extremely quick and I average 30hrs of battery life with heavy usage (4-5hrs of screen time).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Lazy governor with screen off Max frequency on and deep idle on actually drains battery.

I use conservative mostly.

Maybe smartassv2 sometimes too

No interest in all these new fancy ones.

Which kernel,rom ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
lulzactive is a great choice if you can cater its options to how you use the phone.

The past day i've been using wheatley and it's quite a nice governor performance wise and hasn't been particularly battery intensive but i havn't actually tested battery life with it. I've been a fan of lazy before this, too.

My phone didn't play nice with minmax or interactivex. Havn't tried the others for more than a few minutes if at all on the nexus.

Trial and error may be the best choice, or understand lulzactive and change settings accordingly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumbleG:
I use the tweaked conservative in Steve Garon's kernel. None of them particularly stand out for me in terms of performance, but I'm getting decent battery life from this one, whereas my phone liked to behave strangely in terms of battery with some of the other ones.

lulz

Can you ppl please send your favourite setting of lulzactive governor? I`m using Android 1.2.0, kernel Matr1x 15.0, SIO, 100-800, OC 100, lulz - 80%, 2, 1, 6@200, 20000, 40000. Now (with little to no use) I have 71% left after 1 day 14 hours. But I have a feeling it eats more during use.

Little to no use = 2 calls (about 5 minutes each), say 5 sms and about 30 minutes on opera mini. Connection via wifi. I`m studying at home! :)

Battery life is my top priority. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deetailed:
With CyberGR v5 and ICUP Speedy-7, I've been getting constant 30+ hours with 4 hours screentime on Smartassv2/sio. If I don't use it other than for email and calls, pretty certain I'd hit 48 hours. Smartassv2/noop gets similar battery life but feels less smooth. The other schedulers don't give me the right balance between battery and performance.

Lulzactive is pretty good too, but it requires some effort to experiment and find the right settings according to usage habits.

I've tried Lazy and Wheatley before but both drain a bit more than Smartassv2 for me.

Haven't taken any screen shots but I've been getting good battery life out of matr1x 15 cfs; smartass v2 governor, noop scheduler, on gummy 7.2. It's been lasting me all day with fairly heavy use -- including 2+ hours of TuneIn Radio yesterday while I was waiting in line. I'm sure there are ways to get even more battery life but I'm happy if it just lasts until bedtime when I can put it on the charger.

We haven't updated the site because we have seriously been so busy with the higher priority details but I will let you know when Omega's description is updated with more details and a possible ETA. That is all we will be posting on XDA for now though because Whiskey103 permanently banned our Syndicate Apps account for absolutely no legitimate reason, so all of our APKs and app discussions will be found on our own site and forums until this issue is resolved.

I'm a long time iPhone user, and I'm trying Android seriously for the first time. I'm currently using a LG Optimus 3D, running a custom gingerbread rom, and I'm getting 4G on my T-mobile USA network (FOR THE FIRST TIME! since iPhone's do not support high speed data on T-mobile USA)

My question is this, is the LG O3D a good phone to judge android by? The rom I'm using is overclocked to 1188mhz, the screen is much larger than the iphone screen, and certain things I really like, other things I find extremely annoying. And I'm not trying to start a debate about iphone vs android... I'm just trying to figure out if the hardware I'm using sucks or if other phones (samsung G2S or others?) are considerably better? Is it worth spending more money on another android?

If anyone can chime in with advice I'd appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
The hardwares good, great gpu and I love mine but apart from 3D there are better phones. What about its hardware is dissapointing you?

You can use a different launcher, go launcher is a good one, and if you are rooted you can uninstall system apps you don't like.

I have to say while I love it I do wish it had more ram, a lot of android phones now have more ram but I would say its a good android phone yes.

But if you don't want the 3D then yes phones such as s2 are better in a lot of areas. Lgs hardware is actually very good but their software not so.

Dave
[General Questions and Answers] Araltd:
What I don't like, well here's a few gripes...

Battery life is terrible, I had to buy a thick 3500mah battery, because the stock battery was only lasting for about 4-5 hours tops. The bigger battery made the phone HUGE.

The operating system seems to lag, which I feel is from either poor ram management or as you stated, not enough ram.

Touch sensitivity on the screen is sketchy in certain apps, like if I press in a certain spot, it seems like I'm pressing a little off the mark.

Seems like restarting (reboot) it daily is almost needed for some reason.

I guess the battery is the biggest deal to me. I'd very much like to use the factory slim battery, but I would basically HAVE to charge it whenever possible to do that, and that's not practical for me. And there seems to be a lot of complaints over in the O3D section about the lack of software support from LG, so I have no other serious android experience to compare this too.. that's why I asked :)
