Ice Cream Sandwich for O2X!

Not sure if everyone here has heard the news from Google's I/O, but they have announced that Google is setting a guideline for updates to phones, and many companies have agreed to give timely updates to their phones for at least 18 months from release.
LG is one of them so this is good news and will most likely mean that our phones will live to see an official Ice Cream Sandwich build

I would be getting it from CM regardless
Does anyone know whether this agreement is retroactive though? Might not include the *2X

First, LG agreed to that terms AFTER the O2X release, so that phone isn't concerned.
Second, they add "if hardware can follow", which is the magical sentence for manufacturer to explain why, finally there will be no update (even if that's total bullsh*t).
Bottom line is, nothing new, still the same.
But, it doen't mean we won't have ice cream Sandwich either
Let's hope for it.

Even though the news are good, Google making some pressure to manufacturers develop android updates, thing is that ice cream is said by Google to be released Q4 2011...hmph, how long for LG2X to have IC? Q2 2012?

This phone is one of the most powerful devices as of now so they should do the Ice Cream if not we can make petition or wait for CM 8?

Agreed. I wasn't a fan of the stock ROM at all. This all mighty phone, weak release of 2.2.
CM7 completely unleashed the inner beast of this phone.

I wouldn't go that far aha
That being said I haven't actually tried CM7, waiting for it to be a bit less buggy

I hope we'll get Ice Cream Sandwich. But let LG first bring Gingerbread to us all!

I am doing a noob question... i red about hardware problems of o2x getting ice cream sandwich. I mean that it seems ice cream rom is going to be very heavy, about 500 MB... so the ram available is not sufficient to run this OS... can someone confirm this problem?

That's just stupid. Neither the Nexus One nor the Nexus S have more than 512mb of memory.

It's not so stupid because this could be the excuse for LG to decide to stop ice cream on the 2x like they did with optimus chic: the 01 will be upgraded to gingerbread while the chic (that has similar hardware) will not. It's just commercial strategy.

Yeah i know the difference but the OS is loaded during boot in to the ram isn't it? So how much free ram do you think are you going to find after booting the phone?
Anyway my personal opinion is that this prevision of how much heavy will be ice cream is for tablet's only... i hope phone's one will be smaller

I understand you. I encountered only once the freeze problem and that's all. No problem so far and i tried cm7 and modaco that make this phone incredibly faster. Anyway it's true there are a lot of problems but theese are going to be fixed by lg's software update and then by community. In Italy a lot of people are selling 2x at incredible low prices and i can't understand why...

I'm a CM7 user as well, coming from Nexus S to Optimus 2x and I would say the same only after we got a stable mod. I'm using Nightly #23 right now and it's great... but far from a beast ATM. Let's remember about bluetooth audio problems, no HDMI, 1080p video recording or FM Radio for instance. Nightly CM7 it's already great, but there's a lot of little things to be fixed.
Unexperienced users should keep away for now, is called Nightly and experimental version after-all.

There is HDMI out

Should I get a Thrill?

I currently have an HTC HD7S but being a tech head, I'm getting bored.
Is it worth getting the Thrill or is its already dead in the custom rom area?

Not dead, but calm. In actuality, though, there's been a jumpstart in posting the last couple days and a few have been promising to me. Additionally, GB is now scheduled to be released the 27th for the optimus 3d which should give the thrill a custom gb rom in days by that point. I'm days away from my trade deadline, but I'm staying pretty devoted to the phone I've decided I love. Now if only we could get a stock browser without this damn toolbar at the bottom...

I just picked mine up last Friday. I'm coming off an Atrix, and so far I'm not looking back.
The screen is fantastic, the phone is smooth, and it doesn't seem to have some of the issues the Attic suffers from.
It was between this and the Galaxy S II, and I wanted the HDMI. Also, the Thrill felt better.
Besides gimmick or not, the 3D is cool.

Thanks for the opinions. A family member of my has it and I've had the pleasure of using it. But I'm pretty much set on getting it.
Also, I was reading yesterday the ICS source code is released. Any devs interested in that?
EDIT: Honeycomb is available as well

I was going to say I don't know if I had an upgrade right now if it would be the phone I'd pick. I'd more than likely get a Note. But I've come to really like this phone and wouldn't trade it unless a Thrill with a 4.5 inch screen, 16 gig storage, and ICS came out.
Of course, then it'd still be a Thrill

Hmmmm...I downloaded xScope pro when it was the Amazon free app of the day. But I have yet to use it as my browser. Guess it's time to give it a shot.

IMO, I wouldn't waste my time on the Thrill. I stuck it out for a while thinking that LG actually gave a crap about us, just to be let down. They have committed to a Gingerbread release on the 21st to the International version. No commitment at all to the Thrill other than maybe by the end of December or early January.
With the very slow development going on it, I decided I had enough and jumped to the SGS2 Skyrocket instead. Do I miss the 3D ability?.....Of course. But I gained LTE (when available in my area) and an 8MP camera instead with increased speed over the Thrill and a lot more dev potential (and is going on already).
I would have a hard time now recommending anyone to the Thrill that cares about overall speed and performance, let alone support from the manufacturer. If someone wants 3D and doesn't mind a luke warm device, then the Thrill may suit them fine.
Just my opinion. I had such high hopes for it when I bought it.

Seriously, some people forget it's a phone. Without fast development, it's still a damn good one for now, and with development, it'll be amazing in the future. How many MP my camera is, I couldn't care less. It's more about the size of the cmos sensor than the resolution, and the only phone I'll trade for when it's available, nexus of course, will have one nice 5mp cam. Samsung let me down for way too long with my craptivate, so I can wait a bit for GB again. As for the O3D version, that'll be close enough. Oh, by the time LTE reaches my house (and most), I'm sure I'll be eligable for another upgrade. Loving this phone, despite my few hates.

Ask yourself this question: Do I want ROM selection? The answer to the title of this thread is the opposite of your answer to that question.
If you don't flash ROMs, the Thrill is better than the Atrix or Atrix 2, its definately the best phone in the <$99 price range. But for a little more the GS II (i777 not skyrocket, the skyrocket will be only slightly less of a ghost town than here) is teasing you with so many ROM choices it will burn a hole in your SD card.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)

The funny thing is Ive got all the bugs worked out of my Thrill. The thing has ZERO issues for me. I cant think of a single reason not to recommend the Thrill. I could care less about a selection of Roms. Most are just re-themes of the same..exact..thing. All I need is one solid rom and Im golden. That was the thing I LOVED about my Aria. For the longest time there were only 2-3 roms available for it but they were all rock solid and offered everything you could get out of a rom. We had ONE kernel available to us, but it worked flawlessly, so we didnt need anymore kernels. Move along to the Captivate and while I had 200,000 roms to choose from none of them felt finished, half of them were the same rom I had just flashed with a different battery icon, and they all had issues. Even CM7 for the Captivate never felt as solid as it did on my Aria. I never ended up being happy with my Captivate even though it was the "superior "phone to my Aria.
The Thrill is a solid phone. It had a lot of issues upon release and a LOT of people didnt stick around because of that. Gingerbread is here, and from what ive been hearing its already made the Thrill into even more of a beast and its only a pre-release leak (unfortunately I dont have a Windows machine so I cant flash the baseband to even try it ). And with the ICS source released we will have ICS fairly quickly. Gingerbread was a tough port due to ZERO Omap4 devices running it (it wasnt just the Thrill) so we had to try to start from scratch, but the first ICS device has almost the exact CPU (higher clockspeed and better imaging capabilities) and the GPU IS the same. That alone will kickstart development of ICS as we can port ICS rather than try to build it from scratch.
But enough of my ranting Im going to sleep!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bye bye bionic, hello LG spectrum

Have you tried the 901 update or the eclipse 2.1 rc rom for 901?
Also did you try to overclock?
I'm on eclipse 2.1 rc and overclocked it to 1188 with extended battery and I absolutely love it. I get 17+ hrs on a single charge with heavy usage
With the 901 update it totally fix all the issues I had when on 893
I use to have BSOD every other day and have to pull battery, data drop every few hrs and have to toggle airplane mode to get data back, screen freeze also have to pull battery, losing apps when move to sdcard
But once I did the manual update to 901 the bionic has been great for about a month and fixed all the issues I had mentioned above
I highly recommend doing the 901 update as i see it makes the bionic be the device it should of been
Then I flashed the eclipse 2.1rc rom with safestrap, it improve the responsiveness and battery
Lastly I overclocked it to 1188 and it was amazing with what the bionic can do now how much quicker it respond
Now I really don't mind waiting next year for my upgrade. Till then there will be quadcores galore with hd display and who knows what the intel will bring to the market after seeing what their medfield chip can do and new lithium batteries that's 5-10x better than what's available now.
Hopefully moto/vzw will update it to ics and unlock the bootloader

I absolutely love mines when I have it running on
gingervolt 1.3
overclocked it to 1.5 with blitzkrieg 1.0
v6 superercharger rc4 script
some build prop mods
adrenaline shot v13
ics responsive tweaks
disable bytecode
I'm also getting 3900+ on antutu and 3000+ on quadrant
It's also very stable no screen freeze, no lag, no reboots, and it don't get that hot
I get 8hrs on stock battery heavy use, light - medium usage 10 - 15 hrs
Then I got the bionic for xmas so I gave it to a friend and she loves it too
Recently I helped her overclocked it to 1.9 with blitzkrieg 2.1 and she's getting 4200+ on antutu and 3400+ on quadrant
Battery took a hit though but still good enough to last her through 8hrs light - medium usage

Gingervolt wasn't out yet when I had the revolution. People were still trying to figure out how to make custom boot animations and rom development came to a standstill until LG released gingerbread. I was the most disappointed that more rom developers didn't jump on it with its unlocked bootloader, which was the only reason I bought it.

honestly im about to go with other phone and the lg spectrum is my first choice.it could be laggy but is unlocked. I really started to hate my bionic and i about to throw it against the floor.This phone sucks!!!!
By the way im not blaming, complaining about any dev.Actually i think they are making an excellent work here.

LG revolution also had an unlocked bootloader but rom developers didn't jump on it. We actually got more roms with our locked bootloader than they do with theirs unlocked. Be careful what you wish for because sometimes its not.what you want.

Even though there's only a few roms for lg revolution at that time " homeless, revolt, decrap " but it's all good roms like the bionic there's only few roms also yet all still good.
Now with 901 there's only 1 true 901rom which is the eclipse 2.1rc and 3 other compatibles like the eclipse 2.0, liberty 2.0, and ics beta
My friends have the htc thunderbolt and they have many roms but only few is stable most are nightly builts and betas so you gotta stay updated and keep flashing
Coming from LG revolution which have very limited devs I learned as long as there's still support on the phone they can find ways to make the phone better and from what I know some of the devs there working on porting cm7/9 also
There will always have new phones that cause devs to jump ship but as long as the phone still have 1-10 devs remain they'll keep working on it
I think once ics comes out to bionic most dev will jump back in just like the lg revolution when gingerbread came out there's more activity there

Have you tried the 901 update or the eclipse 2.1 rc rom for 901?
Also did you try to overclock?
I'm on eclipse 2.1 rc and overclocked it to 1188 with extended battery and I absolutely love it. I get 17+ hrs on a single charge with heavy usage
With the 901 update it totally fix all the issues I had when on 893
I use to have BSOD every other day and have to pull battery, data drop every few hrs and have to toggle airplane mode to get data back, screen freeze also have to pull battery, losing apps when move to sdcard
But once I did the manual update to 901 the bionic has been great for about a month and fixed all the issues I had mentioned above
I highly recommend doing the 901 update as i see it makes the bionic be the device it should of been

Seriously is this, what we can expect every-time a new phone hits the market !!!! "oh i think i am switching what do you guys think" just freaking switch already or go to the proper device forums and get advice from them we don't have the phone so we probably don't know much more than you do!!! Every week someone asks how about this phone come on man stop cludering our forums...

Yes, that is what we can expect so I made a joke out of it before someone did it seriously. I'm not switching my bionic anytime soon.

I agree. I was kind of making fun of how every time a new phone is announced, we get these types of posts. Since things are slow, I decided to insert some humor into our community.
I believe things will pick up when ics comes around. I dont really have any issues with my phone so I'm able to be patient.

For me, using stock is foreign. It just seems so un-android to me. But I've been rooting phones for 2 years now so rooting an android is second nature for me. Even if I'm not rommed up, I still need to root if only to get rid of bloatware. I support them putting bloatware on the phones, I just dont support them making it so you can't remove the bloatware without rooting. PCs have been putting bloat on for years but they let you remove it if you dont want it. I'm just wondering how many android users are stuck with let's golf on there phone just to never play it.

Example fail. Lets Golf is the only piece of bloat you can uninstall without root.
