Well stuff like WiFi signal, battery life only lg could really enhance that. If builds keep getting release they are going to want to work on the newest, because technically should be an improvement. But yeah we should rejoice some ics coming soon.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

People should lay off the devs though, people on the optimus 2x can't even use that leak as of now so I doubt we would be first than them. We need kernel source release too, we need patience.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Well the thing is that Lg already didn't get it right with this phone so I think for the most part all we're looking for are fixes for Lgs already imbedded bugs. It's impossible to speculate a "time frame" that we'll see the benefits, so I think the point is knowing that there should be major improvements down the line. Up until now there was no hope really, and these devs simply couldn't do anything about Lgs eff ups so we were basically just stuck with them. IMO considering we don't have any quad cores hitting here (in America anyway) anytime relatively soon, this phone is still neck and neck with the "top" phones on the market today. That's not bad at all considering just how long I've had this phone because I got mine on launch day. The only thing that even remotely made me consider "upgrading" was that there wasn't much hope for our g2x's, but now that there's actually hope again I think it would be pointless wasting an "upgrade" on anything else right now. Plus when you consider how far these devs have come with this phone anyway, especially with what they had to work with, it's pretty damn amazing I think. Anyway that's just how I feel about it and I'm happy to say for the first time ever, I'm still loving a phone that I got 16 months ago! (Thanks for the correction CricketAC) That's money well spent IMO! :D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Was it really? Cause I got the Samsung SGS at first but then 3 days later the g2x came out, and since it was a dual core I wound up getting it instead. To be honest the reason why I thought it was almost 2 years ago is because the day I got it I remember having the top and doors off on my Jeep, so I figured it was spring or summer and I thought I already had it last summer. So I apologize if I was wrong but it's still the first time I'm still happy with phone I've had for 16 months then! :D

Edit: Actually man holy lord you were frighteningly correct!! LOL I just called the store where I got it cause I know one of the girls up there, and I'm literally 1 year and 4 months in on my contract!! A thousand apologies of course!!:D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kepapas:
This might be a very stupid question who I'm I to know but can't they just take the drivers only wat we need and put the updates on the roms there working with I know it's much more complicated then that but is it possible to use the same kernels we got for ics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chipis:
AMEN ! Bro. But The only people who knows what to do are the Devs it self.

So lets Chill and wait thats the only thing to do at this moment.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r.snyder:
Its been less than 24 hours since the leak. Why don't we all just take a deep breath and wait.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Not possible to use our current kernels. Even though it isn't a huge kernel version bump, there are a lot of changes. Such as direct kernel control of sensors etc. They also implemented cpu governors and removed nvrm_daemon. We also need to rebuild the current overlays and kernels with all the new goodies. Almost none of this can be done without source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
True. Plus they are already finding bugs on the su660 Rom like FC when switching from the back camera to front. It's a beta intentionally leaked. there will'll l be many more most likely.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeerSteak:
And it's worth noting that all of these changes are absolutely worth waiting for. Having sensor control in the kernel means that it will be in the source, whenever the source is released. Goofy garbage like slow GPS locks (in CM 7.2) and non-functional ambient light sensors (automatic screen brightness) will hopefully, eventually, be a thing of the past. Having CPU governors available means that whatever governor it is that JB uses for "project butter" will be available and also that idle-time battery life should be greatly improved (though with Paranoid Android build 10, battery life is pretty spectacular in my use). I was kicking around the idea of just buying a Galaxy Nexus and ebaying my G2x so as to have just easy access to the latest Android OS, but I think I may hang onto this thing for a while longer. If it can be made to work well with ICS, then JB isn't too much farther beyond that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
I talked to Ricardo at length yesterday, he's had this since before my interview, I also have known this but was sworn to secrecy. He's still waiting for kernel source to drop, as soon as it does it's a done deal.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Hey, f!?k you.

Who are you? At least I'm taking out time from a nasty custody battle to talk with a friend 3000 miles away in Portugal to see if he or I can help this community. Answer to your question, yes, as far as this device is concerned, he"s is the 'illuminati', he had a full fledged, 3xxxx'ed kernel, LG/Nvidia rom on his g2x 6 months ago! Because he doesn't want to jeopardize his professional relationship with the 2, for unappreciative smart asses that troll these boards, he honored their wishes and did not 'leak' it. Did you even recognize 'XDA NEWS WRITER' in my Sig? Did you notice I got 19 thanks for doing something constructive and helpful and you only have 1 fan of your comment. Don't try to verbally insult an XDA employed writer in his own house and not expect a trip to troll school.

I appreciate all the work the devs have done/accomplished here. I can't wait for cm9 fully functioning soon.

As far as LG devices are concerned, this will be my last phone from them.

Waiting on an official ICS release for the G2x has been a roller coaster ride, and it's one that I refuse to ride again.

I do apologize for going off the handle, have a lot on my plate, that's why I haven't even written an article in over a month. As far as getting out, I've been drag racing for the past month, ask volk, I'm always asses and elbows in my engine. Back on track, without kernel source, Ricardo can do nothing. It's just a professional courtesy thing after his ics release debacle.

mustangtim49@Xda-developers.com
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyp:
Well debacle is a questionable thing. I'm more than happy with the CM9 builds - as I had to do some Android 4 development it was pretty lifesaving, testing within the emulator just sucks (and it lacks lots of things).

After jumping onto the CM9 wagon I couldn't go back - Android 4 is just so much better than Android 2.3.

If you know what you're dealing with CM9 is a perfect daily driver. It's by far not perfect, but in my eyes way better than a stable CM7 (if you don't need the camcorder of course).

I know arcee regrets the decision to release it - I'm more than thankful to him that he did it anyways. The problem are the users who just don't understand the big red warnings about the problems of the ROM and feel the need to blame app developers and whomever else to bug about the "problems" their apps make with the LG 2x.

But whom am I telling that, we're at xda - everyone is well aware of the ignorant "I want it now but don't have the time to read all the text at the OP" xda users.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dserber:
I think it's unfortunate that Ricardo considers his early release a debacle. I for one, was majorly blessed to be able to use ICS even though it didn't have all the bells and whistles. I still have a nandroid backup of it and go back to it often. It's too bad that he got soured on the experience and just wanted to show my appreciation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MS Gray Man:
Ricardo, like all of us, probably has plenty to regret in life... His release shouldn't be one of them.

I believe it's like everything else in life these days...

The ignorant, the stupid, and the entitled talk way more than the smart, educated, and the appreciative.

In short, we all owe the Ricardo's and the TonyP's and the so many others, a great deal of thanks for their efforts to make our devices far better than the people that produced them.

So....

Thank you!

Just wanted to thank in and thank arcee for releasing the ICS rom. Have been running it since release, am pretty happy with it, despite the bugs. I understood from the get go that living on the edge entails getting cut now and then. If only all users shared this understanding.. Either way, thanks arcee! (and the other devs ofcourse!) (If you really regret it, I wish I could somehow send you some of that chicken feeling (wanted to link to the I regret nothing chicken, not allowed yet..). Perhaps this helps, ever so slightly)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I don't want to speak for Ricardo, but I believe the reason he regrets it is more of a "big picture" thing. This wasn't the typical dev getting upset with ungrateful noobs, this was an issue of bug reports being sent to app developers, nasty comments on app pages, etc. He didn't like how his development led to further "fragmentation" of the android platform, something he is strongly against.

In short, I don't think he cares one little bit about people complaining to him or about him, but the attacking of innocent and unaware app developers upset him very much.

Again, I'm paraphrasing statements from him based on my recollection and I apologize if I misrepresented his feelings on the matter in any way. At any rate, I support his decision to wait until he is satisfied with a stable solution to release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
Agreed been on ics since his release
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Ricardo regrets his release because is an app breaking hack at best. No disrespect to anyone, especially devs, but our fauxm9 is inherently garbage. I personally have one of the best g2x's ever produced, it will clock 1.6 ghz stable and ask for more all while running ice cold. Any CM7 I run makes butter look like concrete, no bugs, no hiccups, wicked, stupid fast and no reboots, CM9, on the other hand, not so much. In my interview alone, Ricardo and I talked for 4 hours, what he released and what everyone uses as source will eventually slow to a snail's pace as his hacks slowly break down the apps and os. I agree, I love android 4.0, it's soooo superior to 2.3, but, it's truly not a daily driver for us. I love all the work around here a can't help but flash new 4xxx roms, but, within a couple of hours, I'm ready to burn my phone at the stake. As for my car....... Yes, I own a 1993 mustang coupe that runs mid 13's at 103, albeit with a horrible 2.0 60' time. All motor, no fillers. I ruin alot of people's nights at the track, especially people who spend 40k+ to only get their ass handed to them by me.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
What bugs me with the ICS leak is that so many people have the attitude that now that JB is out, it's "plow ahead, issues be damned".

We have ICS binaries on O2X that could probably be used to get a working ICS on G2X. Is anyone doing this? No, they're spending their time on JB, for which we have NO working binaries.

It's "cool" to have the latest, but having something that WORKS is even better. Too bad nobody realizes this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BigDig:
Do you have any plans to work on a stable ICS build? If you do that would be awesome!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyp:
Bull****. Simple as that.

We don't really need other binaries for JB than for ICS, if the leak would be of any use for ICS it would have been done - but it is not as we need the kernel source.

So please stop posting if you don't have any clue about what you're talking, thanks :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Explain how Lotherius doesn't have any clue about what he's talking about since he's a "Recognized Developer" and you're a "Recognized Contributor".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyp:
Maybe my answer was a little too harsh (sorry for that) - but this doesn't make it wrong.

Actually I didn't even notice he's a RD, but that doesn't really matter. The good thing about that is he will hopefully understand why I raged... I read dozends of posts like that - which raise questions which have already been asked a couple times.

Every dev I know of would prefer a full ICS build over a crappy and hacky JB build - so it just isn't true what he wrote. No one is neglecting the leak, it just doesn't work.

We even talked with arcee about it - it isn't possible for us with the bootloader locked leak that we got from LG as long as there's no kernel source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
As a fond user of your work, I agree. Something that WORKS is better. I'm still rocking 2.3.4 for that reason. ICS and JB are great but too many compromises for my everyday use, so far.

Thank you for all that work, by the way. :laugh:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Yes, with a locked bootloader and no kernel source code, the binaries are useless, that's been the problem since the get-go with undocumented object code. I think LG used a locked bootloader to prevent unauthorized access to unfinished/experimental leaked code.

I don't think he's ignorant of that, just critical of independent development focus on JB instead of working on independently developed ICS builds by using the LG binaries, particularly the NVIDIA ICS drivers. I know that JB isn't that much of a leap from ICS but I agree with him that there's a lot of excellent but unfinished ICS work which should be "finished" before jumping into JB because abandoning ICS for JB development will delay getting full utility, including graphics acceleration, from the G2X that just upgrading the unfinished ICS work would provide sooner.

Hopefully, LG will release ICS without a locked bootloader and provide the source code it is required to in accordance with Open Source requirements not long afterwards.

May the source be with you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Apparently I didn't word my apology to the satisfaction of some moderator? Post disappeared.

As I said... I was just venting frustration at the general situation, and not any particular developer. My apologies if it seemed like an attack on anyone.

It is true that kernel source would be much more useful, and we don't have that yet.

As far as whether or not someone does or does not have Recognized Dev status, that's irrelevant as there are things I don't know, and things other people do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyp:
You're just not getting the big picture.

The ICS work is not unfinished because devs are jumping on the JB wagon but because everyone is stuck.

Devs are jumping on JB because there is just nothing to do with ICS at the moment - and with JB you can do at least something.

Without the files from LG/Nvidia it's not possible to enable 2d hwa.

You can not just "use" the "drivers" from the leak and put them into our ICS build.

If it were a P990 leak it might work, but the SU660 differs too much.

LG changed a lot in the kernel (we got gouverners now and no more nvrm_daemon!) - this is great but results in a totally useless kernel (together with the locked bootloader) unless the source gets published.

There is nothing to "prepare" in ICS - it is just waiting until we get some P990 files or the SU660 kernel source.

Oh and arcee already said that he won't use the files for CM9 when LG releases it - but for CM10.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
tonyp, I just don't get you. I know you've made significant contributions and have huge thanks registered but I think it has gone to your head. You always misread and/or misinterpret whatever I and, from what I've read posted by you about what others say, such as lotherius, which you think doesn't fit your world view or opinion about whatever. Stop being deliberately obtuse.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
As much as devs complain about how they do it for free and on their free time, truth is they need this forums as much as the consumers. Who are we to tell them what to work on? Is their time, just like a user wants the best phones and newest gadget.. Devs want newest system so they got their taste of ics now they want to try JB. If anything blame Google for updating every year when most devices still don't even have Ics.
