Icecream Sandwich has been all the news in the android community within the last couple of days.
Since our O2x has some pretty high specs, you would think that it would get the update, official or not.
Question is, would it be worth the wait?
Google said: "Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device.", as you say the P990 has a decent spec so I don't see it being an problem.
I will be using CM9 for sure (if / when etc.) IMO LG will never put ICS on the P990... (they haven't even sent 2.3 to us in Norway....)
Google, hurry up and release the source!!

LG Uses Facebook To Confirm Ice Cream Sandwich For Optimus 2X And Other ‘High-End Smartphones’
Well this is a sudden turn of events. After previously stating that the phone would not be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich, LG has confirmed Android 4.0 will be coming to the Optimus 2x as well as other high-end handsets. Hit the break to see the official statement from LG’s Facebook page.
“LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true. LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
Thank you very much.”
There you have it kids. Straight from the source itself, Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming to LG after all. Given LG’s notorious history of lagging behind with the updates of its devices, it will be curious to see when Android 4.0 becomes a reality on their handsets. That of course, is if LG follows through with its commitment to the ICS update for the Optimus 2x and other select devices like its other US counterpart, the T-Mobile G2X.

but LG didn't deny they don't provide ICS to optimus black
Yeah, I don't think they consider OB as an high-end handset ...
Horse sh**...they were the ones who posted that they will not bring ics to g2x.
I wil' buy ob if either lg announces that they will provide ics for ob or somebody assures me that there will be some unofficial port to ob definitely.
Please help me guys.Iam in dilemma
any help would be appreciated
I can't provide any assurance (and I don't really understand how can you request that), however, I'm pretty sure that CM7 support will get to be official in a while, and once that happens, I guess that we'll also be receiving ICS as soon as CM7 gets it as long as there are enough developers working on this phone Support our developers to get them motivated and show them that you care and you'll have ICS on your phone long before LG releases the update (just as I have gingerbread on my phone right now via CM7).

sorry for my english mate.By saying assurance i meant to say "hope".
I will wait for some time to see if lg announce that they will provide ics for OB or for some unofficial porting news
Anyway thanks for your time
Does ice cream sandwich support single core phones? I heard that ice cream sandwich is only available to dual core phones. Since the ob is single core it might no get it. Is it true?
HAHAHAHAHAHA .. ad nauseum!
no worries
master arcee "ricardo" or someone else here shall port ics into our black with their ROM (i hope so)
we got backups

I hope LG wont be lazy
ics is already ported to single core samsung google nexus s and it is running smoothly.So there is no doubt that ob gonna run ics smootly.Its upto the devs
For me, I will NOT recommend any LG phone to anybody.
When I purchase an open source OS phone, thw most important thing for me would be the continuous support.
If I will not have it, I prefer going to Iphone..

lol stop make new threads abort the same think, there already 2
anyone start petition to LG for release of ics for optimus 2x?
Hi, why do a petition just for that ? Except Nexus phones there not official ICS on other phone..
They have already said ICS will be released some time in Q2 of this year.
As we are still in Q1, there is no need for a petition yet. The need for petitions will only arise when the promised release date goes by with no word from LG again lol :-D
