*looks for places to donate to 4.0 for p970*

Good news!
I'll have to wait anxiously in our OB.

Google has been public their code for ICS, while LG still patiently keep their GingerBeard secret.
2+ for Google
1+ for CyanogenMod - An ICS release soon
2- for LG

Now we have reason to get jealous. SE just confirmed today that they will really update their 2011 Xperia lineup to 4.0 ICS. We know those phones have only about 320MB of ROM. LG it's your turn!

Android AOSP ROM 2.3

Really hoping for an clean and fast Android AOSP Gingerbread ROM for this phone. Such as Oxygen ROM for Desire. That would be great.

Patience, it will come. But it will probably take some time because we have to wait until we get a official gingerbread or a leaked gingerbread rom.

Why do the devs need for a AOSP a leaked Gingerbread before?
I thought the AOSP is compiled directly out of the source code?
we'll just need the drivers etc... cm might come soon
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
AOSP gingerbread only includes drivers for Google developer phones. LG 2x is obviously not one of them so you will need to find drivers that work on gingerbread first, drivers from froyo builds may or may not work and gingerbread drivers will only come after official gingerbread Rom is released.
I'm sure when the G2X gets vanilla gingerbread in may for t-mo us itll be ported over for you optimus 2x users

Thanks, forgot about that :-D
But i hope there will be a classic Gingerbread release soon on the phone.
This is the only thing i miss, except the hard-buttons (well, there is no alternative with either..)
Too bad the trademark that the P990 has gives us advantage on OEM drivers from the 2.3 rom package.
Doesn't anyone have some good contacts inside LG to push the drivers for 2.3 a developers way?
Interesting, that is where we vibrant folks are stuck at...gps drivers from Samsung !
this will suck when 2.4 comes out

[Q] Android 2.3.3

Hi guys,
I was wondering - There are a lot of builds of the Android 2.3.3 for other devices. When do you think we will see a Gingerbread rom for the LG ? Could some devs look into the 2.3.3 and see if specific things like Camera, Wifi, bluetooth etc could be directly implemented? I know work like this is going on for other devices..
Hey,
the dev team behind cyanogen mod 7 is working on a port for the LG optimus 2X. CyanogenMod 7 is an modified Rom from AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3. In the next few week you can be sure that you will get a Gingerbread Rom.
Today i have read that LG will release an update to 2.3.3 this april. 2 Weeks after OTA 2.3.3 you will se some amazing stuff on like custom roms on 2.3.3....
Only be in patience dude ;-)
sry for my bad english :-(

Hehe, thanx - But..
Look at my signature m8 - I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.3.3 on it and i know of the changes - I wont have Android 2.3.3 on my device, just for the version - I want a rom that works
On the HTC Desire i recommend you MIUI 1.4.1 and CyanogenMod RC4. Both are very stable and based on 2.3.3.
Any chance to see the miui Rom on our LG?

This is good news! So the update will finally come to optimus x2. Is it possible to update the phone using ..say Paul's rom or do you have to revert the phone back to stock for update to work?

Some people just shouldnt be allowed to post in here, but hey, just ignore it.. I have been following the Android development since almost day one, and it seems that the devs on other roms/devices are a little more experienced in the coded stuff than the ones yet to play with the Optimus 2x(No offence to any1 i hope), but i would like to know what exact issues there are, related to modding the current 2.3.3 builds for the Optimus. If anyone knows ?
ewm how do i put this ... screenshots or it didnt happen anyone???

Yeah, I think drivers as well. Now that LG has released their p990 source as well it shouldn't be too long until the LG 2.2 drivers have been ported to 2.3... I hope.

but i realy don't care, the dev's here are probably going to release ICS earlier and we have so much great custom roms here so i don't want to go back stock.

+1 and given that lg didn't do a very good job with gingerbread i think the best hopes we have are here by the members that are really trying to deliver a full working ics port.and i guess it would be even better than official half ported release from our beloved lg.

Yep, its true, but im pretty sure we will get some ics roms based, i dont mean theme, i mean ICS based, so just wait
Just wait a little more (maybe 2-3 months) before getting a "stable" ICS rom ported by our amazing devs! The development progress of the rom is super quick! Yesterday it was just released and now it's already at alpha 4! At this rate ICS will be for very soon, definitely sooner than LG's ICS lol.

HW Accelerated ICS Roms

Anyone know an ICS Rom that has HW acceleration? I've tried Nova and Hellfire Sandwich but neither has that. Suggestions. Currently runnign stable CM 7.2.
The ISC drivers that are needed for acceleration are available, but are useless until LG releases some sort of Kernel to work with the drivers to my understanding. They are obligated to release the kernel and other stuff needed for developers to build a Complete and stable rom, but no one knows when. It should be soon tho, my guess 1week-1month maybe even sooner.
Here is the website, not sure if its official or not. As you can see, the kernel currently on the site is for v20(Gingerbread I think) we need v30 which is for ICS
http://code.google.com/p/openstar2x/
Since we don't have the drivers, we can't have hw accelerated roms.. so you'd better wait for lg official update..

@Dimension 2035 Thanks for the explanation. Is it safe to assume that when official ICS for p990 drops (its out for su660) then the dev team will have the kernel they need to work with?
@Byteater Definitely won't ever do an official LG update. When I tried upgrading to official Gingerbread my phone got bricked past recovery, luckily the guys i bought it from sent me a new one and so instead I just flashed CM 7 the next time and it works great... prolly better than official LG ICS when that comes out.

There is only one place I know that may bring ICS to the P990 and that is LG Singapore. If they do it will be Perfect!

you don't need to upgrade the phone to official ICS. But the official release (with source codes) will help devs to extract drivers and to insert them in cm 10 roms

NO!
we have to wait for the sources otherwize we wont know what to do with the binaries, also, 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 didnt suffer such drastic changes as its made obvious by the very small difference from 1 to the other, theyr both 4. something, so theyr almost the same except for some optimizations in jb if i didnt understand wrong. bottom line is, as soon as we get the sources well have a fully working cm10 rom in very little time, drivers are all thats missing since only camera doesnt work properly now... (at least in the cm10 rom im using(tony. p's hackfest)
I'll be waiting patiently for the developers to work their magic I guess!

Hi.
I'm using Nova HD rebuild ICS CM9 ROM on my Optimus 2x and i'm very happy with it but I'm missing HW support. It was said that the devs couldn't do anything until LG releses update for ICS. This is what I found on internet:
"Android 4.0 now available for LG Optimus 2X... in South Korea, anyway" (sorry I can't post a link...it's on engadget.com)
so would this help or are we still just hopping nont to be stuck on GB.
Tnx for answer.

[Q] Kit kat OS for lg optimus 2x

Hi friends, is there any idea by what time optimus 2x will get kitkat os aka Android 4.4.

Let Google release Kit Kat,
then let them release its source,
then let CM start working on nightlies,
let the nightlies stabilise a bit,
Non neon support has been dropped... HOPEFULLY some one using tegra device will manage to port it for us,
then maybe... who knows... depends on the nature of changes too...
Now how do you want the chances, using mathematics or statistics... should I use conditional probability
We only have official ICS, all of jellybean is unofficial...
i say enjoy the current candy, The ROM JB 4.3 is very much stable and usable as daily driver...
Hahahahahaha seriously? 4.3 is still being stabilized and you ask for 4.4 that is still not out? Geez, i love xda lol

I think it's not very hurry to get a android4.4 because 4.3 is very smooth and stable too.:cyclops:

Also, i've read that KitKat should be heavily optimized to work well with devices that have lower specs and 512 megs of memory. Sounds like a good news, but i guess only tonyp and pengus could shed some light on that

fingers crossed. Well for those who can't wait for android 4.4 and just want to have a feel of it feel free to download the apks for it.
i dunno if it's true or not, but i read this "One of the key features of the new release is optimizations made to the OS, so as to be able to run smoothly on legacy devices with just 512 MB of RAM." but with that said, i think it will be only custom roms with the Optimus 2X that will give us Android 4.4 bcs i doubt that pre 2011 phone with Android will get updated like LG would give the Optimus 2x, Android 4.4 but i could be wrong...
well i think its time to say goodbye to O2X .....been using it for almost 3 yrs.it had good run....just ordered NEXUS 5......:laugh::laugh:
If you guys are so eagerly waiting for 4.4 then why not change it in build prop .
Simple I am doing it since gingerbread. currently I am on 10.2.6
The N5 is very good, but has some negative things.
Battery and camera when change will be for the LG G2 , xiaomi mi3 or S4
