Hello developers. i'm from USA and i have the Tmobile G2X. we dont have a lot of devs working on the g2x. And now we users dont have a choice but to flash CM7 and other stock gb roms.
some developers that were working on the g2x had said that it would not be hard to port the Optimus 2x, or other roms from the 2x to our G2x
because even thought its the same hardware, the build and framework are different and thats how they thought it would be easy
we just want to have an LG OVERLAY like the 2x have.
please we appreciate your work 100%
or can you find a way to flash rom from G2X>2X AND 2X<G2X
It's not the same hardware, G2X uses a different radio chip due to it's 4G, that also means different GPS implementation and no doubt other stuff too.

Any news on porting this Rom to the T-Mobile G2X? I liked the UI on the O2X and was wondering when or how it would be possible to port to the G2X
What port ??? what rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
judging from the thread title, he means a port of the O2x stock ROM to the G2x
don't think this will happen in the near future (or ever) as most ppl really want the "pure android" experience of the G2x and not the LG bloatware.
there's some porting of the G2x ROM to the O2x going on right now AFAIK but it's not easy as there's some slight H/W differences (mostly radio related). if this procedure gets figured out the other way around shouldn't be too hard then
the devices are still too new, give the devs some time ^^
You wouldn't want the O2x rom on your phone anyway - it's rubbish.
Apparently there isn't much difference between them other than cosmetics anyway.
Yes I did mean if the O2X could be ported onto the G2X, hopefully it will happen, thanks for the insight.
The only difference is the partition layout, so a ROM cooked for the OP2X will just have to be ported to the G2X with a couple of lines of code, or vice-versa.

Hi, Ive been looking around for the wind stock rom for the past few days and could not find it. So im posting a thread about it.
I want to put it back to the old firmware which you buy from wind that comes with the preloaded software because I did not unlock it when it was rooted. Is there any downloads for winds stock rom for optimus 2x?
Hi
I believe the Wind O2X is actually a G2X, so maybe you've searched in the wrong thread for the whole time .
Anyway, try searching for a stock rom in the G2X thread...
Good Luck!
Are you sure? Because when I bought the phone from Wind mobile, the os had wind mobile widgets and such sort

I'm pretty sure, a WIND Optimus 2X is a G2X (LG P999). The O2X and G2X are pretty much the same. There are only a few differences, which cause O2X roms to not work on a G2X and vice versa.
Okay I looked in the g2x section and I cant find it...
Right now my optimus 2x is running android version 2.2.2 with an unknown baseband, I just want to reset it back to winds android version with an actually baseband?
Any help?
Yeah .. there are enough wind users (me too) that one will show up soon. Might have been posted.. or someone who is more savy might be able to do one up.

I know this is asking a lot, but I thought I'd just request it and throw it out there. I'm not a proffessional developer or anything that's for sure, but I don't think it should be that hard to port ICS to the Thrill/O3D. The only reason it's not out already is because literally nobody has been working on it, and it's a little upsetting to me. And to be honest, I could care less if the 3D capibilities worked on the ROM or not. ICS for LG Nitro has been released on XDA I believe, I've seen a video of it. Wouldn't it be easy just to port that release onto the Thrill instead of starting from scratch and creating ICS for the Thrill? Plus, I love the new UI LG has came up with for it's ICS phones, and I believe that UI is included for the released update for the Nitro. I don't know, I'm just throwing this out there since nobody seems interested in it anymore, maybe I can get some developers out there working on it? It'd be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
That would be cool I would like to see this

I think they have to wait until the ICS source gets leaked or ICS official update for the LG Optimus 3D comes out.
Would be nice though.

Theres always a way, just not enough developers on this forum.
well i just did a little research last night and found out that the only device (from like 7 phones) that has our chipset cpu/gpu and is running ICS is the samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0
and lg is suposed 2 release ics for o3d on 3Q this year... so lets wait?
Looks like the LG Spectrum is close to getting ICS. At least LG is trying to update something here in the U.S. at a respectable time:

Maybe the O3D doesn't have enough hardware to run ICS. And I used a ported Prada rom before, it really was built on O3D's v21d, just the framework of Prada. In short a developer can only insert mods and packages on our (built for O3D) roms, you even have to flash LG's compatible baseband to get a custom rom running properly
And I do believe the 3DMax was built to run ICS instead of our O3D, it's probably the only purpose
Guys , do we have any updates on this thread?? I'm dying to upgrade android on my LG Thrill.
P.S. I have spent some time to find something.
Unfortunately couldn't find ANYTHING
Big Thanks in advance
ICS was ported a few weeks ago. It is compatible with your Thrill.

1. It comes with 2.2 but can be upgraded to 2.3.5
2. There are some custom ROMs that offer 3D (Thrill seeker 3.1 was my favorite). ICS (Android 4.0) has been rumored to maybe become available later this year, but most likely you will not see ICS on the thrill unless someone developes a custom ROM (which also isn't likely as I read that there were some hardware constraints).
3. For me, the phone has been great. If treated well and taken care of, you will most likely not run into any major issues.

I dont think O2X has the hardware to support 4G(LTE), the new O4X does support.
P999 is the O2X for the US market, with whatever differences in hard- and software, just like SU660 is for the Korean market, also with some differences in hard- and software.
P990 is for the rest of us. If you look into the developers fora, you will see there is a distinction between ROMs for the three models. If you live in the US, get the P999, so you are sure to get the official support.
When it comes to custom ROMs, the O2X is a breeze to use, and you will have to make great effort, to brick it. Once LG releases official ICS update, the pages here will explode with ROMs.
I have had the phone for almost two years now and I am becoming more and more satisfied with it, I will only exchange it for perhaps the O4X, due to the larger screen, my eyesight is not what it used to be!!!!!
