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...

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

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

Can someone please explain to me why it takes LG 6 (or more...) months to ready gingerbread for O2X?
Isn't android ready from google? All that LG has to do is to install the drivers for tegra and so on?
I know that all others as slow with updates from google, but WHY?

Maybe because they have a lot of work to do with porting an android version to our phone which is not in pre-alpha state...it's like a new experience for them..they should take their time if its worth it..
Do LG have to port android 2.3 to O2X?? Dont understand how android works at all. Isn't it finished by google and LG only have to install bloat and drivers????
please
If they wanted, it would run 2.3.4 already, that´s 100% sure.
If you think it is that easy why don't you do it by your own. There are mods out there with gingerbread and guess what they have bugs! Why is everybody so keen on gingerbread. My phone does an excellent job!

No it doesnt do an excellent job - besides the obvious problems with bsod and rebooting which many are facing, it also has a number of other very annoying issues which everyone are effected by and which everyone hopes gets resolved with Gingerbread. Your phone are no different than any other O2x and your phone has exactly the same issues as everyone elses. Just because you may not be experienced enough to recognize these issues, doesnt mean your phone does an excellent job - it only means your standards are less than others.
If we ever do get a properly optimised Gingerbread fixing these issues, then you will perhaps have a better understanding of how this phone should be running, considering the hardware.
Man even if there would be no reason for 2. 3 i just wanna have it , only the custom ginger roms that were gonna have is more than enough as a update reason . Dude we are like frozen atm stuck at optimated stock roms and thers not much left to "optimale "
I too have no bsod or reboots not even once. The only problem i have is poor battery but this is also the case for all android phones. Other than that. Been very happy with my phone and I'm sure gingerbread will make me happier.

The answer is easy... that's because they are LG !!
Try to sell as many as possible
So they spend most of time to promote their products, not spend time for software..
Don't you see? How long they spend for reboot fix...and yet not solve it
But why is it so hard to port android from google to the different phones?
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Too big HW diversity, crapy HW designs, bug-plagued drivers..
From my opinion, they need their own unique.
if the software is the same (standard from google)
the market share would be seized by Samsung, HTC, Sony.
However, LG still lack of professional to solve most of problem that the end users are suffering (like us, freezing/rebooting problem)

'cause each company has to adapt their drivers for each phone. That's why it's hard.
And here is why it take so long : because they all feel forced to add a stupid brand layer (LG Home, LG apps... But that's true with most of the companies).

Hmm... Can't understand that either... Drivers for tegra 2 is made by nvidia right? All LG has to do is add the driver to google's android? Other HW in the phone is not developed by LG either so they will have a driver from the manufactor wont they?
All i see that LG have to do is to develop the awful crapware they ship the phones with. That would perhaps take some time... but 6!! SIX!! months???
hey guys. i'm over from the lg optimus one forum.
if you havent noticed, miui is casting a vote on which device they should port MIUI to (the vote can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/questions/217517851641131/?qa_ref=ssp). as you can see, both the optimus 2x and the optimus one are losing to the more popular, higher-end devices.
if you are a fan of miui, then this might be of interest to you. the reason why i am posting this here is because it turns out that you can vote for more than one phone. i believe that if we support each other and cast a vote for both of our phones, we may stand a chance against those other phones. i know that maybe only one device will get it but anything is better than where we stand right now.
if you are not a fan of miui, then please disregard this message (but even if you are not a fan of miui, please support our phones by casting a vote for both of them).
on the other hand, i am also well aware of the fact that you guys already have an unofficial miui port. there are people over at the optimus one forum who are trying to port it but without success so far. if you are perfectly fine with the miui port that you guys have, please consider helping us (the optimus one users) out.
i thought that you guys might understand as we (LG users) are the underdogs to companies such as samsung and motorola
voteddd...
already vote bro..
me 2 lalalala 10 chars
Voted, all Optimus 2X users please spare 15 seconds to vote for Optimus One and Optimus 2X. Thanks
thanks for the support guys! this really means a lot to me as this is the only chance the optimus one can get miui. this is because the optimus one uses an armv6 processor; in the words of another user from my forum:
popdog123 said:
Well i'm back... finally finished my exams and got some time for myself.
But i have a bit of bad news. I've been studying android and how it's build and how it works and i'm afraid this might be an impossible port to make for now. I've looked into the Galaxy 3 port and it's not an actual port. It's just the framework. So it is possible to port apps from the rom but they might not work fully because of incompatible libs.
Now about the libs, they are compiled specifically for a type of processor (in miui case armv7) which have some instructions built in. While armv7 may run armv6 libs it's not possible the other way around. So even if we got the phone to boot, and got the launcher and a few miui apps running it wouldn't be miui.
I see that SWEATTAIMI is still working to complete the port of the framework and i wish him the best of luck but i will have to step down since i am working on other android projects that are more likely to come to an end than this.

No, ICS will not happen before 6-12+ months on o2x because closed source.

ICS is open source, but tegra2 is closed sources, so there are big problems.

D'uh, wasn't talking about ICS, was talking about nvidia.
Just got lazy typing it 5times a day, sorry.
Nvidia always will release closed source code like driver under Linux but Nvidia release kernel source code...if we want ICS on O2X, LG must collaborate, like Samsung do about GalaxyTab, with Nvidia to make Tegra 2 (ICS version) compatible with O2X. GalaxyTab 10.1 is compatible with HC and ICS, so close source code released by Nvidia isn't the main issue...
Shouldnt this thread be in General section?

Eh, what are you talking about? LG have already said they'll release an ICS. He asked about CM ICS, and for that the closed source bits are a problem, becouse we don't have them! LG does ofc, and that why they won't have a problem porting it. Hopefully it won't take too long. A CM ICS will probably come before LG's, but maybe the LG release will better the CM version if all goes well.
Yeah but why would LG bother to port it to ICS? They can just make and sell a new device instead of throwing their money away on us.
Yes it would help their brand image if they still supported the O2X, but when have they cared about that? My guess is that their focus is going to be on a new device.

OK, since so many people are asking: The reason I'm doing the OMAP devices first is because the fine folks at Texas Instruments have, as before, published their reference code. (and Google's current reference device, the SGN, is an OMAP4, which also helps considerably).
The Optimus 2X (and its TMoUS brother, the G2x) is a Tegra2, and nVidia has, as always, published a total amount of zero useful lines of code; at this point, my time is better employed at getting CM9 off the ground with devices in which I can write code than it would be at figuring out how the hell to support old tegra binaries. It'll happen, but not in the near future.

They'll be back when the kernel source code is released (don't worry, LG is legally obliged to release it due to the contract terms of using Android).
I doubt the devs can just pick apart the Korean .kdz file to extract binaries - they need the source code. And we know the source code WILL come now, it's just a matter of time.
Hang on man, I'm excited myself. Especially being in North America where we are unlikely to get any OTA update.

LOL, I think Stefan already announced that this would happen. Although the SU660 and the P990 have the same specs there are slight variations in the partitioning and so on that makes it impossible to just mix-and-match ROMs. Same for just about every phone with regional variations, it's to prevent people from easily debranding phones and removing carrier bloatware. It's nothing that our devs can't overcome... but they need source code first.

I think you should inform yourself a little more.before creating a thread calling for developers.
I don't know of a single dev who has a "lack of interest", most are quite excited. If it would be easily possible to port the SU660 ROM to the P99x one it would already have been done. It is NOT the "same" phone.
And keep in mind that this phone never had a lot of - how to phrase it - "real kick ass developers".
The best thing which could have happened to our phone was arcee, his skills are amazing. Without him the LG 2x custom ROM scene would be nowhere near the current state.

If you have been following the threads about the leak, you would know that they can't do anything at the moment because basically they still need the kernel sources to work (which we still don't have) and in consecuence you wouldn't have posted this (right?).
I'm a developer and I don't really like this kind of stuff. It feels like pressuring them to get working on something, remember they are doing this for fun / self training and for free - so please people let them be. If something new happens they will be the first ones to inform about it.

I'll leave that to you because you know that more than that have sold their Optimus 2X and G2X phones and moved on and others such as RC have "put it on the shelf" and, depending on LG releasing ICS with accessible NVIDIA hardware drivers and whether he thinks it is worthwhile spending his time on it instead of his current and future interests, he may or may not be counted among the developers who "moved on" (hopefully not).

Yes, JB alpha for the O2X was just released but ICS and JB are already available for other, older, phones with less worthy hardware. W're fortunate that, in spite of NVIDIA and LG causing development for the O2X to be somewhat masochistic, there are still some developers working on it. If LG releases a public version of ICS with a locked bootloader for the SU660/P990/P999, there will be even fewer developers. It is interesting to note the lack of developers commenting about my post. I think they understand where I am coming from.

1. The opposite will happen when we get the official ICS release (which will most likely have the locked bootloader, yes). More devs will gain interest as there's finally something to do instead of waiting. The locked bootloader will be annoying but there will be ways around it.
2. The real devs usually don't read xda in general and not the general section in particular. No wondering why...
3. Start learning to develop your own stuff then the 2x will be exactly the way you want it to have. No offense, but this thread leads to nothing.
