Android 2.3 for lg2x coming out in june/july 2011

According to the danish lg site, under FAQ of the LG Optimus 2x, they say that it'll be out in june/july 2011. So that seems to be as official they have stated a release date yet

If that's real, than it's a real shame. 6 months to get GB working on their flagship device seems really lame and only shows LG inability to give the updates in a timely manner. In June Android 2.4 will be already launched.

Yeah this sucks ballzzzz

Yeah it seems to be true, but have only been posted (as far as I have checked) on the Scandinavian sites for Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
I also made this post about it (maybe in the wrong section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034970
EDIT: With a picture btw.

This means Cyanogenmod is again overtaking the manufacturer

this is in line with LG italy "our scope is to provide the update in the first half of this year"
edit:
i've just finished a livechat with italian LG support.
they have no info on gingerbread update.

Im glad there are alot of custom roms. LG fails again. superhardware lack of support
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

oh my goodness when is the cyanogen gingerbread update .........

hehe who cares? I only care about CM7

The problem is there are a lot of fixes needed even within the LG Android 2.2.2, it's not all about providing GB. The stock LG software is subpar in my oppinion and the problems signaled here and on other forums needs to be addressed by LG hopefully before June.
[email protected], CM7 would be nice but for O2X is in a far from usable state.

If LG launch the 2.3 with the know how demonstrated on 2.2... I don't see how this is a good news...
CM7 is all that mater

maybe LG is waiting for cm7, and get the idea from it

I absolutely agree with the statement "Who cares, I just want CM7".
Then again, LG having the low-level dev access that they have (drivers and whatnot), isn't much easier for them to dev the update than for us to dev CM7? Moreover, wouldn't it be much easier to port CM7 if we had an LG 2.3 ROM?
Cheers.

Shame I switched from Samsung after month of **** firmwares and now the same on lg - now I really consider apple - they know hot to build a kernel to use the hardware
google and android is as it seems incapable of delivereing a kernel for single or dual core
the always bring out new phones and none run well
the lg drives me crazy for 2 weeks - its more lame than my nexus one

I kind of like LG for the speed, is much faster than the Galaxy S no matter what kernel you had on it, but O2X has other problems like the poor audio quality in calls and still the software doesn't feel like it's the final version, more like a test one. I agree we should expect more because the super fast hardware is there. It's a reality manufacturers don't care about that, they act like sell only the hardware and after that, they wash their hands. At least Samsung continue to support the Galaxy S which will have GB within weeks and in the meantime we have to wait until summer to get our port on O2X. I would never buy Apple, they sell just boring super expensive and locked products, that are still owned by them even after they sell them to you. If you want Android without headaches, the best bet is on the Nexus Phones. But, in the end, you can't have everything I guess...
Wow, that was long... what are we talking about here?

Sounds like the email I recived from LG Sweden this monday which said their devs had started to work on 2.3...... but what...started? Hasn't 2.3 been out for a while??

Try the Nexus S, being just a single core hummingbird processor, the thing flies
LG Optimus 2x have the potential to be faster then the Nexus S, all you need is just to wait until more developers use the phone

LG optimus 2x Gingerbread Update predictions

Let us all combine all our knowledge on when the Gingerbread update will come for the Optimus 2x in this forum Hopefully we can comeout with a slightly accurate prediction date
For me, what I can predict is, since all the other Tegra 2 devices out there in the market have not received any gingerbread update and when I went to the tegra website, there were no mentions on gingerbread at all. My guess is that nvidia has to come out with the Gingerbread kernel for LG to complete the Gingerbread update, thats what probably causing the delay although LG has already completed the new LG UI experience. So all we have to wait is for Nvidia actually Not just LG

I have a hunch, Nvidia might be skipping Gingerbread and continue with their kal el project instead. it is quite likely that we will receive the ice cream update

Some swedish website says not until autumn

Yeap there are 3 factors for this delay,
1. Nvidia kernel not ready
2. LG Gingerbread ROM not ready
3. applies Swedish carriers only

Wow, top notch thread.

Our combined knowledge is zero. Pointless thread really.
Also there is 2.6.36 source for Tegra2, nVidia aren't ignoring anything.

EDIT: hopefully in July to August instead of October! (autumn)

There is already 2.6.36 kernel source from nVidia, that isn't the problem.

Hmmm then the only problem LG is well known for is instability issues like our current froyo rom, my guess is their trying to make sure the update for us has at least a 95% chance of not receiving any bugs

i still can't understand why it is taking so long, whileas cm developers give us daily updates

Optimus One spotted with official gingerbread. Which shows LG HQ is doing there job!
Also Source Code v10C rom has been released.

How can LG treat its flagship product like this? even HTC Incredible S, single core, certainly get 4.0 upgrade, recent announce by HTC. 2X is a DualCore smartphone, hah??? no 4.0 ?? fuzzy.
In other word, black is also go to the end of its life by official 2.3.4. I can only say, never buy LG anymore.

Really disappointed. Almost all the other brands(HTC, Samsung, Moto) have announced that most of their android 2.3 smartphones will be upgradable to ICS.
If LG really not provide ICS for optimus black/2x, certainly no one would buy its products again

Agreed. Very disappointing. I love my optimus black but I hate LG now. If optimus black won't have been such an amazing good phone I would have sweared not to buy another LG product for sure.

LG Jordan - إل جي الأردن Hi Mohammad Abbadi ICS is the android version 2.4, it has been released very recently in the market and as of now its not clear if its going to be available for P970 and P920 ... there is only one model in the market that has ICS and its a Google product... as I informed you The Optimus Black will receive the gingerbread update and we will announce it on our page as soon as the update is ready for the end user... LG Jordan Team thank you for your continuous support to our products and hope you will always be a fan of our page.

I think they will giv 4.0 to ob/2x it will be late but we will hav it
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

Well, I think it's still too early to say. ICS has just been released only anyway, i guess it takes time to determine if it comes. Some people say it might come, some say it might not. Only time will tell. Though one thing's right though, updates are awfully slow. I don't know if the LG team is incompetent or just not dedicated, but the other manufacturers are doing a much better job :/

Ya same things happen when gb realesed many peoples said that gb required atleast 1ghz processor but thats all gone fake and i bet ics will come to all high end devices
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

what are you all dreaming???ICS on OB and/or 2x??? I am so sceptic about this!!
We have not yet gingerbread on OB, and you are looking forward to ICS??
HAHAHA!! LG treat customers as figures on income reports!!
If they (maybe) give us GB when ICS is out in the market, untill they will give us (or be ready to give us) ICS for OB, the phone will be replaced with another phone .....

I do not believe for a second that this OB will get ICS .. but I will have sold my first and most definately last LG phone before Gingerbread gets within a thousand miles of it. LG - you suck big time, please please go bust!

Thats why I sold my OB this week... I'll never trust in LG again.

Next time, I'll never think in LG again. Simply, I'm too dissapointed with it, its a shame...

I suggest everyone lets them know what they think on twitter @LGElectronics

hmm honneslty the biggest reason I've bought an OB for, is the nova screen. I was even thinking about selling it for the OW. But, since some times going back to sony ericsson is on my mind (one of my previous phones was a W810i)

Okay no wonder they lost millions from last year. LG is really sucks!!!! Good hardware bad development, very bad to maintain their costumers.

IPS is very good and natural in color. But nova bright LEDs are just a gimmick. I compared nova and super amoled from nexus s with high brightness, okay p970 has the most brightness but.everthing washed out. Super amoled can keep black color in maximum brightness. But who uses max brightness???

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

The radio, or lack of, is what keeps me from staying put on CM7...

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.

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? )

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.

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
