LG Announes it will officially be releasing ICS for O3D/Thrill - LG Thrill 4G

https://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-m...40-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade/316431148368212
There you go everyone it is official we are getting ICS from LG. So even if CM9 never gets released for our phones we are getting ICS for sure.
...fighting ninjas at night. Talking about this and that.

You think this will be a pretty bugless port to our device from O3D?

Pretty sure it will be just like GB release. When the kdz comes out just flash it.

Cool, so if we base this off of history with the GB release, 2013 seems about accurate right?
I just hope someone is able to make a rom soon

hopefully a rom comes out soon . If one does come out soon id jusr forget about puting GB on on my phone and just use ICS.

Well you might as well flash GB in the interim. Hopefully arcee doesnt give up development for our phone with ICS.
I know LG has a horrible reputation on this forum but, I am going to be positive here and give them a chance. If they are announcing in December the roll out dates then I am hoping for a first quarter 2012 release.
Who knows though, I am happy with GB right now and soon you guys will have the option to install GD as well GingerDoom is on its way.

isnt there a guy named Ricardo whose developing ICS for the Optimus 3D ? Or did he drop that project and move on to another ?

that doesn't mean it will officially come to at&t. It does not say LG Thrill. It will probably be up to AT&T

No one is certain if he has ditched the O3D or not, he is a developer of Cyanogenmod. It is just nice to know that if CM9 never comes and no one is able to get a full working rom we will at least get ICS from LG at some point.

Whether ATT releases it or not doesn't matter, if LG releases it for O3D we get it too. All you would have to do is flash the ICS kdz the same way you flash the GB kdz. ATT hasn't released GB yet but, I am running it just fine.

Is everything functional?

I cannot run the euro gb rom on my phone as it kills 3g in my area. As for ics it is being actively developed for cm9. Just like other devices you will just have to wait.

The Thrill is the Optimistic 3d, which they have not abandoned. The difference is the ATT branding.
If an Official Thrill update doesn't show, its not LG. At this point all ATT needs to do is add their tweaks and push it.

What I don't understand is why nobody tampers with the baseband to make it support Euro and American frequencies. Every other phone I've ever delt with could support that, but it's like the Thrill and Optimus 3D are two complete phones.... Even though they aren't? Nothing makes sense to me anymore
EDIT:
I only have a Thrill because AT&T was handing them out for free in my state (Montana) because of their service hasn't been too great. But from what I see, the Thunderbolt has a better community going on here. I came from a Captivate, and have atleast modded 15-20 different phones, but this phone seems like the red headed step child.

I think is they try to do the frequnecies thing it might require more work so it might be easier to just use the Euro KDZ for GB or ICS. I'm not sure though they might end up doing it sooner or later. It all dpeneds on the developer.

I'm sure he means, that by the time 3.1 (Or really ICS, 'cause HC isn't going to be opensourced) has been turned into a CM release, LG might release GB
When they realese it then CM8 would come with Ice Cream Sandwich!

Wrong section - stop replying people, thread needs to die.
Why is there yet another thread about this???
We all know it was delayed, and I think more and more people know it won't come at all.
I got 2 email replies from LG. The first one said the update will come after summer for sure. The second one said there is no precise date for the update, not even after summer.
So to sum up:
n°1 LG is telling us all to go **** ourselves on this one
n°2 It's useless to open a new thread every time LG tells us to go **** ourselves
n°3 LG is ****ing ****
Froyo -> Gingerbread upgrade is not all that big. Most of you won't even know its running gingerbread vs froyo. Not sure what the big deal is.
its not about the software update, we have CM7 for that.
Its about the kernel update that we want from gingerbread.
And also, are you kidding? "most of you want know the difference" ? where do you think you are? this is XDA why do you think where here?

Pretty sure most of the people *****ing about it want it for the sake of having the number "2.3" written on the version screen as oppose to "2.2.2". What will gingerbread let you do that you can't do now?
If you're having issues with the phone (reboots/freezes etc) then fair enough otherwise just chill. It's just a phone.
I had a HTC Legend before Optimus 2X. And when the stable cm7 rom was running in my phone it was WAY faster then with any stable custom Froyo-rom. And 2.3 looks very nice. 2.3 also has the Screen-off animation, and a function to select text in messages and on webpages to easier copy, edit or delete parts.
Thats what I can remember I miss atm..

Yeah you're right, we need the kernel to produce better and stable CM7s or other gingerbread builds >< If only we could get our hands on one single Optimus 2x kernel source code ><
Dont know if you have tried CM7 lately but its VERY stable, at this point the only thing we need LG to fix is maybe the battery drivers

Gb will surely bring a lot of stuff to o2x as I understand. Most important imho proper use of dual core and gtalk videochat. Guess a lot of people will notice the speed improvements at least.

I almost agree.... cm7 rocks and no point at all using standard rom however the battery aint so bad is it? I manage live wallpaper, fair usage on wifi, 3g and 3 hours a day audiobook ( yes works tough going lol )baseband/rij 725 and she lasts a day no problem ........ if you think thats bad you should try my wifes iphone 3gs!!!
edit:- lcd brightness is also up full tilt
edit again.... why doesnt lg/htc/etc etc hire the cm devs? as far as im aware they dont get paid much if anything other than the odd donation and a new phone here and there for a hell of a lot of work.... surely if anyone should be doing the official roms its people like them who love their work?

What The?

Can I flash LG Optimus 3D roms on my phone? How do I tell if I have a thrill? What's the difference why is there two different sections!? WHATTT????
The Thrill is the AT&T branded version. The only physical difference is a small AT&T logo on the back. The model number is P925, vs the Optimus 3D is P920. You can see the model number in the About in Settings. They run on different bands, so O3D ROMs will not run on the Thrill. If you put a O3D ROM on the Thrill you only get 2G, the "4G" from AT&T does not work.
So they will work but I would get a 2G connection? Could I use their rom manager ways and etc? Is there a way I could just flash the Thrill's radio back onto it after installing an Optimus Rom?
I have not seen anyone pull the radio from the Thrill yet. So far Thriller is the only Thrill based ROM. I think once the GB update comes out we will see GB ROMs. I don't think many devs want to take time tweaking FroYo when GB has been promised by year end (and likely long before that). The O3D was released months ago, the Thrill has been out for less than a month.

Forums getting quiet for the Thrill lately :(

I am getting worried that the forums have been pretty quiet for a week or so. I know we are all impatiently waiting for GB (or at least a f'ing baseband) but has everyone given up? This is my first Android phone and I stuck by it and I will have to keep this phone for quite some time so I am getting nervous. With LG saying ICS will be coming to the Thrill, GB shouldnt be a question. Unless LG/AT&T say screw GB and go straight to ICS. Which could be good or bad, depending on how long they would take to get ICS done. If they would just release a GB baseband none of this would matter. Bad business.

I guess everything that can be done has been done so far. Im just really upset at the update process of Android phones. I should have looked into this more as opposed to jumping right in. If it wasnt for the reception issues with the current GB roms I would be fine. I love Android, love this phone, but fragmentation and battery life are making me think twice about this OS.

Ice Cream Sandwich release date.

3rd Q 2012. By that time, there will be a new version of Android.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell we're waiting on LG. The p920 has GB in Europe, and it has IDENTICAL hardware. The blame lies solely on AT&T, and, unless they surprise us real quick, their breaking of their agreement with Google.

How long has this phone been out? Like 90 days? Maybe running on almost 4 months? Yes, I know that GB has been out for awhile but we all purchased the phone knowing it could take up to a year to receive GB. We also know that LG and AT&T are not hte most timely on updates.
Yes yes I know it's a forum. But it seems like half the threads in this section is about being upset that we don't have GB or ICS and "I hate this phone!"
If y'all are that unhappy, call AT&T and get a different phone. I think all new phones are under a year long warranty. And just call 'em and tell 'em the phone is shutting down and rebooting randomly.
As for me, I have a couple upgrades open and could trade this phone in if I wanted. But, eh, I'd just rather wait until we get some quad core phones out. Orrrrr...AT&T gets the Galaxy Note. A bigger screen would be sweet.

Um. No. There's a move to get a lot of phones on ICS. But there are a number of devices that will not see ICS at all. Google has even stated that not all phones have the software to run ICS.

Really? Rooted rom or OTA? Cause my buddies is still on 1.6, and my brothers LG Vortex is on something similar. I doubt these phones have had support for a long time now. To claim any phone will have carrier OTA support a year from now seems like a shot in the dark. New phones are coming out every day and to expect more than one sizable update at this point seems preposterous.

My buddy bought an Atrix and was unhappy with the phone entirely for a week until he got GB that changed his opinion completely. I was about to buy an Atrix when I heard about this phone and decided to wait. I (not so) secretly hoped that all the delays meant we were getting GB on launch and pray to the Android gods every night for GB. I had hoped we got it within a month of release at the latest. I'm not sure anyone expected such a long delay for it. I quite like the phone (size and 3D) but am very frustrated by the battery, constant reboots, freezing, ect. I shouldn't have to depend on a 3rd party app (Juice Defender) to block my phone from using the internet just to get it through the day with minimal to no use, and another app (Watchdog) to stop the "Suspend" command from spooling up my processor to full capacity resulting in chain reboots till my phone can get a grip on it OS.
I love my phone, hate all the complaining about it, but really can't blame everyone for doing it. Starting new threads to do it and ****ting up every new thread posted with complaints is getting old but it's to be expected.
I am impatiently waiting the 2.3 update. Unlike most thrill 4g users, i have not experienced the random reboots, but like some users i have been experiencing the wifi with a mind of it's own. i am well beyond my return date, so looks like i am stuck with it...

What rom should I get for my LG Thrill?

Hey everyone... finally got myself a thrill last night It is amazing!! I rooted it with superoneclick and put cwm on it already but now what rom should I get? I read that the cyanogenmod roms doesn't have working hdmi, and 3d!! Which is what this phone is mainly about. Any suggestion on a stable working rom that doesn't interfere with 3d features or HDMI? Like a gingerbread rom with sense ui port? Or is this phone too new and developers haven't had the time to port it over yet? Thanks for all the answers everyone!

Were just really waiting for a north american release of ginger bread but there are some good ones thriller and doom also if 4g isnt that big of a deal optimus 3d thread has lots of good roms
I did check the development thread but didn't see much rom that is consider stable. I would like to keep everything functional, 4g, 3D, and HDMI. I saw thriller rom but there was something that was missing from it that didn't catch my eye. Also what will putting the rom from the optimus 3d do to the thrill? what feature will be missing.
thrill seeker check that one out it removes all the crap apps that come with the phone and help phone run smother better some have overclocks and new themes
We are essentially asking the same question. Can the Moderators combine our threads? Here's my post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475388
The only bit of advice I have about the different ROMs to share from my thread is that GB baseband and custom ROMs do improve performance but the CM7 is supposedly AMAZING. Anyways... I'm about to put CM7 on my phone. I know I will lose 3D and HDMI but I think I can live without it... after all it is rather gimmicky.
3D is what this phone is all about, I guess I have to wait for mods to explore more on this phone.
