Database Develop

Android development for the Optimus 2x

This is another placeholder!

Any developer getting this Tegra2 monster?
IMO Optimus 2X NEEDS good AOSP or CM support!

thanks!!! you're doing really a great job, your team makes it worth continuing to support xda and provide a place where users can find their custom roms and Q's get answered...
Market is big and some section might suffer from less success, but i think this one will make it some of the way..

LG optimus 2x and sense
Any chance of a "sense" ROM on this bad boy once it releases?

You can count on seeing so many UI's on this baby, devs will have a blast pushing the 2x to the limit.

will MIUI be suported?

not really.. SenseUI with its libraries are on a NEON cpu based platform, so its highly unlikely that it will be ported, unless HTC start using a non-NEON base CPU so it becomes compatible..

Is it possible to develop a stock android build for this phone that uses the two cores?

Lower res screen doesn't do justice for this phone. Hope CM7 will be ported tho'. It needs Ginger

Hummingbird is a non-NEON base and Sense reached alpha on Samsung Galaxy S.

but Sense is NEON based with its functionality?
so how would that make it run on a non-NEON based system, hummingbird is not part of the equation anyways..

Can't wait to see how this transpires. I am looking at getting the Optimus 2x when it hits Tmobile in March. If it does....

do we know if LG will lock the bootloader or restrict any custom roms like motorola does?

The new LS670ZVC upgrade that went out OTA effectively quashed my hope of a quick root. With any luck, someone will be able to develop a procedure soon.

Wink HI!
I was wondering if someone can build a MIUI ROM for the LG Optimus 2x aka. STAR
And it been nice if we get the full flash on this mobile.
The all new drivers from Optimus 3D that works with 2x if it possible.
I had a Htc HD2 before my LG STAR and it cames updates every day taken from another phones.
Fun phone as hell but the hardware is no longer enough
Sorry for my english. I hope you guys anderstand what I mean!

MIUI roms require a NEON ARMv7 compatible cpu, tegra2 is not :-(
so until a japanese dude will compile the miui rom from bottom (which i doubt as it made for desire), this type of rom will not appear.. same goes with htc sense roms.

I haven't got any update on mine, probably because it is Global right? In my Software Update section the "Next check for Updates" is set to April 1st, 2011 so I guess that is the date for LG's official Gingerbread launch. Also if I try to check for updates manually it says it can't find the server...so it is not even up yet

[NEWS] Gingerbread for Optimus one shown!

Guys look! LG optimus one is getting the Gingerbread update soon, there's even a video of it in youtube, I hope LG does something for the optimus 2x. We could also predict that the Optimus 2x will have the same icons for the notification bar and most probably not lose the Overscroll glow effect! Well we could also predict that our update will come soon as it would be an outrage if the Optimus one receives the update 4 - 3 months before Optimus 2x
Source here

Considering that the O1 was launched nearly a year ago, I don't necessarily see this as an indication that O2X will get GB soon.

Usually, in the phone market, the phones that are launched later will receive the update first. for example, the HTC desire HD got the Gingerbread update whereas the HTC desire have not. Furthermore, O2X is the flagship device of LG.

Understand that O2x is the flagship etc but it could also have something to do with device compatibility, hardware constraints (as in the case of HTC Desire/HD)and of course sales volumes. I feel LG has sold way more O1s considering the lower price point and they promised GB to O1 users in Dec 2010.
That it took them 6 months to get the GB release out after declaring their intent doesn't bode very well for O2X does it?

Hmmm most probably the update for o2x will come in Autumn or will there be a change to closer date of release

Actually the LG's GB rom is kinda irrelevant, running CM7 without bugs and i don't miss stock ...
Only wish for the source of all the nvidia's stuff and LG's GB source, so that it gets even better.

Wow optimus one takes one year to get GB. i think o2x still need long time. I hope that LG can always release new firmware and baseband to ensure there will be no bsod/reboot problem at least for stock rom

i want 2.4

Great News

Very optimistic. We don't even have a decent version of Froyo, there are delays with GB but we want ICS!!

Yeah! xD but I dont think ICS would come so soon as the Nexus 3 is scheduled to launch in December and the Nexus always gets the first to have the latest Android firmware

Why not? By the time Gb will have been released for us, then ICS will be shown for the public and we would just starve for it imo. As far as I am concerned I would skip to Ics but it is never gonna happen. Sry for my bad English!

I'm not sure if I can trust their facebook wall.

I wanner see it before i believe it and even then. I will properly already have cm9 ics 4.0.5 on my O2X and i am pretty sure. The LG version will be like 4.0.0/4.0.1 and
Then i properly give a Flying C**p about. The LG version

They have lied through more official means. ;p
The radio, or lack of, is what keeps me from staying put on CM7...

i want to see official announcment, not some kind of fb post.

It is possible to promise always, but doesn't mean to carry out.
Were frightened of the public!

I would rather believe soon or later LG will close down their smartphone branch, like HP's webOS.

I'll believe them when I'll get GB on my phone.

This is facebook bulsh..s I think that sameone who post in this "social network" don't know what is ICS.

Just talked to my local lg service(croatia) and they told me that they are planing upgrade to gingerbread till the end of the year,but more important that they are plaaning upgrade to ICS for shure she said 100% shure to all P devices (990,970 etc)

That's really great! I hope for 4.0.

actually, LG Indonesia also confirmed ICS for O2X.
Indonesia is huge market for LG Phones, so their info is trustworthy.
but the question is, WHEN?
we just received GB in Nov.
so ICS, next year? on 12-12-2012 lol.

It would sure be a good start of a comeback if they manage to deliver ICS without too many delays.

I'd give LG an other chance, when they try to make the updates faster.

Yeah, we gonna wait more 50years with GB until we get the ICS update...

This is truly amazing news.

HW acceleration for ics?

Hi guys, just a quick one.
What's the ods for us ever getting hw acceleration on our devices running cm9?

As soon as LG releases ICS for this phone.

I think devs are waiting for ics official release from lg, due to missing source codes. (Makes sense? )

LG says Q2. But LG is never on time with their updates...

Here's the official announcement.
I hope they keep the timeline...

If i remeber correctly then they were 2-3 months late from given release date on the 2.3 update
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6

I think the more important is if it will ever be updated to ICS... Even late 2 or 3 months will be nice to receive the update. Our device goes to the 3rd update of the os and that's fantastic. As probably the last update for it, if I was in charge at LG, I would want to leave a good job done in this device, like a very well refined and stable ICS version. But it's only my opinion... For them, big companies, only matter our pockets...

From my memory, they were 7 months late with their Gingerbread promise. So I'm gearing myself up for stock ICS by Christmas 2012.

Yupii christmas gift's!!
Thank you LG. (Not.)
The best we can do is to always be happy with the wonderful work of the devs in here. And always don't forget that they do that in their free time...

But i dont think ICS will be late cause they've to make very few changes for ICS. Only big thing is HW accelarated video playback. But as LG uses tegra2, nvidia will provide LG responsible closed source binaries. And LG has very bad reputation about software updates in the past so they wont repeat it with ICS to stay in market

I totally agree that LG will probably miss their promised update time, but it DOES say they'll release it in Q2...maybe you should read it again.
"During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Eclipse."

LG Quick voice....

Lg introducing quick voice for almost all optimus series with an software update hope that will have ICS update for 2x and quick voice with that.....

ICS for O2x
Its already about end of Q2 and there's no sign of ICS upgrade for O2x, Quick voice is a faar call.
Anyway, it'd be cool to have assistant of our own!!
Majel is rumored to ve unveiled along with 4.1 JB in Google I/O, so we're gonna have an assistant anyway!!

lets c....but they have mentioned to provide the update so hopefully 2x will get something............

I'm more concerned about how long LG will make us wait!!
If you check out the Official Facebook Page of LGMobile, you can see people going berserk over LG's delay, most of them are O2X and G2X holders!!
I heard LG Indonesia/Singapore (forgot which 1) confirmed ICS upgrade in Q3 can can be as late as september.
JB is about to be released and we don't yet have ICS!!
Hopefully, Quick Voice will be worth waiting for!!

On every single forum post I see announcing a new LG phone, I post that the phone will be released on GB and upgraded to ICS in 2014. Personally im never buying another LG phone so I hope they realise their strategy of not giving a **** is a bad one.

I will wait for the official siri like software from Google, it will for sure be more tested and accurate that any from samsung, LG, or other company. Much more users will use it so Google would be able to optimize it much more

Over here, the O2X is listed as to being updated in Q2 but Optimus Black in Q3. So maybe ics is coming after all.

What's your point? The P970 is a different phone and has a different ICS release date, they don't share the same ROM.
The OB has a TI OMAP 3630 chip while the 2x has a Tegra2 one - thus they need totally different drivers etc.
I'm pretty sure that we will get an ICS upgrade but I highly doubt that LG can keep the Q2 timeframe
Personally I would bet for ~November (which would be Q4, yes).

Anyways since last few days LG has stopped releasing further GB updates if they're working on ICS then its good, it will be wonderfull if LG releases ICS leaks along with most importantly ICS kernel sources.which could bring next one big missing theme HW accelaration!

Don't worry LG will release ICS update for O2X in Q4 (December) around christmas! It will be like Christmas gift for us !
