This is not intended as a speculation thread about Gingerbread update for optimus black!
I have seen some information on LG facebook page about the netherlands receiving the update. I would like to ask if this information is valid.
The reason for opening a new thread just for a question is that there is no other open thread related to Gingerbread update for optimus black on this forum.
Also I would like to ask the kind moderator overseeing this forum not to close this thread, but instead I suggest to keep it clean (by editing/deleting missplaced/insulting posts).
Should anyone have any other information related to the update, feel free to post it, just please don't "speculate"!
Translated from italian: Lg italia Facebook
In response to numerous requests received, LG has tried to speed up as much as possible the release of Gingerbread for Optimum BLACK declaring its readiness to start this week.
We regret, but there are problems with imperative that forced us to delay the release of Gingerbread for Optimus in BLACK.
LG's goal is indeed to ensure the highest quality releases on sw. We are confident to release the update in the coming weeks.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank all users of Optimus Black for your confidence.
sincerely
LG MOBILE.
My Europe Open phone does not currently have any updates besides v10E. Unless the system checks for the country in which you are currently in (as you can travel with your phone anywhere and the system checks for the IMEI afaik), there is no current update. A post will be made as soon as it is available.
Please DO NOT reply to this thread unless you have *proof* that it has been released, or any other official announcement (with source included). Any other reply will probably only be trolling or spamming. Thanks
fyi:
I live in the netherlands, and they still dont have the gingerbread update.

My phone has found an update just minute ago, but it's only 3.5 mb. I'm now on 2.2.2.
I can't install it cuz I need a charger for that.

Theres nothing wrong of having a single speculation thread. We just need one place to talk about it. A moderator can just delete this thread once the official update is disclosed.

What can you discuss about it? "is it here yet?!?!?!?!?!?" "why it is not here yet?????" "LG sucks" "the world hates us" "never going to buy LG again" "I hate you all". There is only one fact: it has not yet been released, and nothing we do will influence that, no matter how much we "discuss" it
That is the kind of answers you will shortly see in a GB speculation thread. Will it be helpful to anyone? most likely not. Will it get in the way of people that check this forum to actually see when it is really released? probably yes. Just my two cents
Well a lot of people want a speculation thread so why not give it to them?
Think admins are locking these threads for no good reason.

I guess a thread about GB makes sense while LG announces officially update, then nothing happens, then LG apologize. It's good to write the news somewhere, for people who's time isn't unlimited for searching such things. And also, there's no speculation when there are official announces. A speculation is based on a thought, on something unsure and unknown, not a fact.

Can anyone tell me what benefits GB have over Froyo? I don't think about bugfixes, i think about performance, new GUI options for MODs etc. Why do people want GB so much? And what does GB lack that will be so awesome with ICS? I haven't figured that out yet. I don't care for the new GUI, it looks kind way to flashy bling bling, dark with "blue neon", kinda geeky, lol.
I mean, i don't want my phone to look like a colorful toy, i want it to look sleek and sexy, and ofc preform well I'll mod every possible aspect of the phone, at least those whose look childish (and a lot of LG's crap do).

Thank you. And a glaring example is right above your post. Alyy81, posts like yours are why these threads get closed.
You do not need a thread where people rant, rave, whine and cry about the antipated GB update. It benefits no one and causes nothing but disruption in the forum. If it were to remain an informative place where real information could be shared it would be one thing, but that's not the way these threads generally go. They get reported. By forum participants. It isn't an arbitrary decision on my part or on any other moderator's part. For responding to reports and keeping the forums clean we get berated, called stupid, dictators, and any other manner of vile insults.
This thread is now closed. As will be any other thread opened like this. If any real information comes out send it to me and I'll post it in the thread I updated today. Send me a PM with the information and if it is real, good information it will be posted.

Change the button mappings so that one of the buttons do not exist, and see if that gives you an on screen button. To the best of my knowledge ICS detects hardware buttons, so if it thinks there is no physical home/back/search button it will create an on screen version.

I tried this for a while. Not really worth it. You'll still be able to see the capacitive buttons and it's really just quite ugly to have two sets of buttons.
Why you need on screen buttons ??

There is such a thing called a library, or a friends laptop, hell walk into walmart and do it.
Also if you ask if something is possible it implies that you don't know. If you new it was possible you should ask for a port of this feature with links. I stand by the statements I said earlier
I think he posted this thread as a joke. I sure thought it was funny good one
why are we all such negative people, like seriously come on now. OP, they have a point, search nextime. But everyone else, you dont have to be so instantly judgemental and negative toward him. there is a polite way to tell someone something, and swearing only makes you sound ignorant like you dont know how to form intelligent sounding words. this site is for our hobby, everyone cheer up, geez.
You guys need to relax , it was a request . I know how to search I wanted to see if someone had the same interest or had it for personal use . Seems like the threads title was "My GPS doesn't work" CHILL

I agree that rudeness is not needed but:
#1 You posted a request in the development section. Questions or requests should not be posted here.
#2 You should have posted in your OP:
a. What you are requesting
b. The conditions you are in / working with (status)
c. What you have looked up already
d. What you have attempted already
The last 2 are key - its shows you are not lazy and you are genuinely trying to fix / solve the problem yourself.
Good luck
I don't understand/speak english very well, but it seems it's like if all the dev who's working on the Note are fighting against each other, like children
I respect the devs and their work, but everything would be better if all the devs unite all together in order to do a great ****ing rom...
Whats your assumption based on?
I have big respects for all devs / chefs here. If it wernt for eyebe i wouldnt have solved some issues in the early days of my rom. Theres always healthy competition which is good for users and peeps who suffer ocfd.
And if someone is critical in a constructive manner then it spurs you on to perfect as best you can. Androids open source and that ideology is used in cutom roms. Share and enhance pushing the boundaries of whats avaliable and All for the benefit of the users on xda. In an ideal world eveyone would work on one rom. However its not and people like choice and variety and thats what you have here.

I don't get the impression that there's any bad blood in the dev forum, but if I had one wish, it would be that every dev would need to state their design philosophy (and perhaps some of their methods) in the beginning of the thread, to get a better feel if their particular product is for us.
Without ROM competition will not be a good product. All interested in promoting ROM developers will try to offer the best.
Yeah, one might think so, they are fighting against each others.
But if y ou read between the lines it is because some "devs" just don´t care about some sort of protocol.
"steal" ideas from each other without giving credits and so on.
It´s up to everyone themservesto judge this as childish or narrow minded, but it´s the opinion of those devs themselves which finally counts in the end.
I personally had it seen coming. so many differenz people working on same or similar project. It has been a matter of time that some Devs cross their lines.
I would love to have them having shake hand and to combine their powers to create an even more powerful project, but those people seem to have to be some sort of lone wolf to be creative in that way.
Anyway we´ll see what happens. And I guess many more motivated devs coming when official sources from samsung will become available to devs.
That will massively push ICS developement further for our device.

It is what it is. Mods have hard enough time keeping these forums clean i mean how many ics posts are closed daily how many non dev threads in dev section get placed all the time.
There are rules to avoid this if members could only be bothered to do a little reading first but peeps dont. Chas dyslexic thread was so true to the bone its scary and these peeps are flashing roms god help them
The devs try to push the boundaries all for your benefit. Why because you and i ask them to. No one here really cares who puts out the rom just as long as you can feed your addictions. Me included.
Ill always want to flash the latest and greatest and the only way to achieve this is competition by what ever means.
But remember no one can steal anything from anyone as it wasnt theres to own.

I have to admit. Everyday I used to visit a HD2 forum for a veery long time and everything was in order there. People used to obey the rules.
In GNote section there are a lot of newbies who don't even bother to get familiar with the xda's rules.
EDITED per Admin's suggestions:
Hey xda,
I wanted to make a thread for people who are not as developer-savvy as others to share ideas and make requests for mods/roms/etc.
If a request or idea could generate enough feedback or support, developers would be more informed on what people would want or like to see.
Here are two things that I would personally like to see on my Nexus 4.
On your homescreen, when you press and hold the home button to go to Google Now, is it possible to add shortcuts and or folders to the extra space around the ring? This would allow the user to clean up some screen space by hiding frequent shortcuts.
Also, I would like to see app-specific security (pattern, pin, password) protection. This would allow a user to easily unlock their phone but still have the security they would want for their messaging, facebook, etc.
Thanks for reading.
I'll maintain this thread as best I can and put the best suggestions below.
Best Ideas as of January 02, 2013
Ideas will be added to this list as support is generated.
Ideas will be removed from this list as they are developed or "worked-around."
See the post number for more details.
App-specific security (pattern, pin, password) protection. OP, #1
Simultaneously video recording with both cameras. DonDizzurp, #21
Full calculator as a lock screen widget. AlwaysDroid, #23
5 PNGs as your WiFi/Signal bars. kcls, #32
Multiwindow support. DforDesign, #41

rom control should be built into most every rom. the features they stick in rom control are different though. i would imagine they all have the navbar deal. its best to flash a rom. find its features and then wipe and add a new rom. and keep going until you find the one you like best. after you find the right one... spend the hours it takes to set up your phone the way you want. for instance.. all of this talkin has caused me to want to throw cyanogen on here to see what those guys have been up to.

There's a big difference between posting direct requests in the development forums and posting a thread in the general forum for collecting ideas you think might be cool to have developed one day. There's nothing wrong with this thread and it's not bothering anybody. It's certainly more useful than the hundreds of threads that occur at every device launch complaining about one hardware defect or another. As an amateur developer I think threads like this are cool places to look for ideas that might be fun to tackle.

second
except for the am dev part. i dunno devving.
So i was browsing the thread and i came across this, and from the title alone i was ready to shut it down......
But i as i read in to it i had to change my mind. The OP is not blatantly making a request to any specific dev. They are simply stating things they would like to see. Now i know this isnt a place to make you phone look cool and i am obviously aware of the rules. But bedoig brings up a very valid point. Some of the amateur dev's might see this as an opportunity to dig in a little deeper. This is not in the development boards and no one is making a specific request from any of the dev's, so i see no reason to shut this down at this time.
However, since i do not normally moderate this board, then i welcome this boards mods _Arjen_, iridaki, eagleeyetom, YZ, TeeJay3800, Diamondback, AvRS, krook6023 to sidestep my decision if they feel the need to.
@oneonezerosix you may want to consider changing the title of your thread to something that sounds a little less demanding. The Dev's here might take it the wrong way (just a suggestion)

if you cant.. then try to learn and get the ball rolling and a dev will probably help you along the way.

After reading the post, I can understand your perspective. All that I ask is that you attempt to understand mine as well.
Zelendel stated that, "XDA is a place to come to learn and share your knowledge."
As an amateur developer, I do not know how to develop much of the things that I wish to be able to use. It was my sole intention to facilitate a discussion of new ideas for development from varying levels of skilled members. Even the best developers can dream of new mods/roms/kernels/etc that they may be unable to produce by their own means. Which is reason enough for one to want to request the assistance of others by posting in a thread like this.
If you do not see any value in this thread, then I apologize for wasting your time.
I am not a Dev and get offended for them when someone says "please add this".
But this is a recollection of ideas, honestly, what's wrong in that? Where would the devs be with no ideas?

You probably should have posted this in the last thread you started.

To answer your question, I advise you to look in the themes section of the nexus forum or do a Google search for 'xda theme tutorial' there are a few of them around and I've come across a few of them as I browsed through various forums.
