it is confirmed. the official release date of gingerbread on lg optimus x2 (p990) is 15 september. i have talk with a director from lg, and also with sales department from android. both told me gingerbread for p990 is done, will have a battery improvment first of all, less resourses needed, with no bugs. all we have to do is waiting for 2 weeks.

well, 2 weeks is a short time. Doesn't make too much of a diff I guess. Coz my last updated v10d SEA (south east asia) version has been rock-solid stable. No BSOD or reboots.. except for vignette very seldom the app was unresponsive but after that, it's fine again.
So for me GB no longer necessary. v10d really solved all my BSOD and reboots problems.

I am on a custom ROM right now...how can I get back on the original LG wagon? do I just flash to the new GB LG Rom and from then on I'll get LG updates?
Also, where do I get the 2.2 LG Rom that phone came with? Lost my backup that I made before flashing it.
Flash original stock ROM from here then you will able to use LG S/W Updater again.
i'm wondering if it's 2.3.3 like optimus one or straight to 2.3.4
It's confirmed as 2.3.4 by LG, and by first leaks.

Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
That's funny.
How do you even know it s going to be better than the current roms?
Or, another question: what do you expect it will bring new? Do you think it will make the phone a quad core monster with a 7 days battery life?
Don't think too much about Samsung. On their forum most of the people are complaining about battery drain and other bugs. No one is perfect.
Don't get me wrong, i also want to update my phone to the latest Android. But i realize that it s not going to be something spectacular, like the introduction of Flash in Froyo, so there' s no reason to make too much fuss out of it

It's dutch they asked LG when the update comes and if it's true that it comes this month
LG netherlands said:
""Het klopt dat LG hard bezig is om de update naar Android 2.3 door te voeren, al zijn we wat voorzichtiger in het noemen van een update datum. Eerst krijgt de Optimus One Gingerbread en deze zomer zal ook de Optimus 2x Speed volgen.""
It's true that LG is working hard to update the phone too android 2.3 but we are a bit careful too tell you a update date. The Optimus One will get gingerbread first and then in the summer the Optimus 2x Speed will follow
in the summer means when?
2.3 is not such a big deal. I am on 2.3.3 CM7 on my MT4G. I am waiting on the G2x.
2.4 will be a big deal, as I believe it is supposed to be set up for duel core processors, which neither 2.2 nor 2.3 are. There are smartphone coming out soon with 2.4 as OEM, but apparently not this one.
For LG and TMo to spend any time getting an OTA out with gingerbread would really be a waste of time and resources at this point.
Defenitely waiting for 2.4, can't wait to see what this beast can do when both cores are used the way they are ment to be used.

Nope 2.3 is already DualCore optimized. 2.2 only "supports" DualCores. I don't think that 2.4 will have huge changes in the thread manager, since it's already optimized in 2.3.
As far as I know, 2.4 will also have gpu-accelerated gui. Can anyone confirm?
No news on that too. But 2.2 is not fully optimized for dual cores yet.

Well no, but it does have dualcore support, even though it's not optimized for that.
Since it will be a phone version of honeycomb more or less i belive that is correct yes..

If everyone else does the same then it might shame them into getting off their arses and doing something about it. I doubt it but worth a try.
Hey dudes i am planning to exchange my hd7 with mango custom rom(2 month old phone) with an lg optimus 2x (1 month old) by paying some extra bucks of about 80 dollars( 4000 indian rupees ). Do i should do that? the reason is purely hardware and the plentiful apps availability for android. Though i love hd7, i need some more freedom, which windows never allowed me.
Please post your opinion.

what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?
I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?
Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.
i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..
It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

if you want secondary camera, bigger screen and 1080p video go for o2x
i recommend to you to watch a youtube video review about xperia sola to decide and read in xperia sola section here in xda for background and users feedback

I think no offical JB for phones older than L7.
Why?
Simply, LG will release L3 II, L5 II, L7 II in some weeks from now. And JB for 4x, L7 and L9 is the end of phones from L3 to Optimus 3D, include our Black. With that update, LG will focus to Optimus G Pro, L-seri ver II, and new high-end phones.
IMHO, ICS is all we can get from LG, hope it will be better with D, E, F... version, as far as it can
l7 is a bit powerfull than oby. l7 gets 4000 in antutu
Yeah lg is trying to promote newer phones,thats what i think.
Big offtopic but i cant find my next phone...maybe L9? Maybe iphone 4s? Maybe nokia 808? Or htc 8x

LG does good phones but cheap quality. They also never seem to update their software so you're always forced to buy new phones. Which is a con. I think most phone manufacturers do this.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Well, at least we got ICS ..
AW: JB on L7 why not on p970?
OB came out with 2.2.2, then update to 2.3.4 (GB) and now 4.0.4 (ICS). I fear that is more than a lot phones get, even if the step from ICS to JB is probably not so big. Well let's see what mods we get and after all CM10 is not so bad, OK a lot nightlys are but that might be why there not called stable (or at least RC).
