I recently asked a Chat rep on the Canadian LG site to find out if the gingerbread update will be coming for the LG 970g. Below is our conversation.
12:13 PM Mike P: Hello, Evan Jacquard. Can I help you with anything today?

12:15 PM Mike P: For the time-being, the ICS OS upgrade will be available in LG’s high-end Android smartphones which were released this year. The upgrades will begin with the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE.
12:15 PM Mike P: The approximate upgrade schedule will be announced later this month through the LG MC Global Facebook page or through relevant local websites,
12:15 PM Mike P: www .facebook .com/ LGMobile
12:15 PM Evan Jacquard: so the third quarter of 2012
12:15 PM Evan Jacquard: and they have completely bypassed gingerbread for the p970?
12:16 PM Mike P: As per the previous message you will be provided with a date by the end of the month.

i wouldnt count on him knowing what's going on. according to facebook lg italy, gb is already out since a couple of weeks and for o3d (which i proudly own) they were insisitng that gb will take a few more weeks to release the same moment i was updating through their client. gb will come as they bothered to develop it (see the leaked rom v20a) i am just sure they screwed up big time and they fiund out during test period so they moved it back a couple of weeks. be patient and you will get it. same thing happened on o3d wherr they found bugs and pushed it back 2-3 weeks.
just gets frustrating when all my friends that were smart enough to get HTC or Samsung, have 2.3 on their devices already. I really don't know enough to tackle swapping the rom to CM7 and really I wouldnt want to until I could get CM9 which may not be available for the OB at all.
Oh well I've been waiting patiently for the update but otherwise the phone has been awesome love the bright screen
today i found a rom called
In other forum i found a rom 2.37 for LG black
and works smooth
In About Phone appears
Android Version 2.3.7
BaseBand XMM6160
Kernel Version 2.6.32
Build Number QQ 535226469
I have used this rom for 8 hrs and it really works nice
It looks like a chinese rom, i have to fix the market,gps and remove ttpod, but after that is working great. Im really happy with the result.
The battery life is outstanding, and the response is snappy.

I've checked the build.prop, and all I can say is that it is just a modded FROYO versión.

I'm curious to see what my rep (telus canada) has to say and if it goes along with what yours said.
as it stands i signed a contact with a phone they sold me on saying it will get the gb update in September. at this point I'm sure i can raise enough hell to get out of this phone based on them lying. ill never buy lg again!

Hey Forum!
So I just flashed the 1.10.14 MIUI ROM from miuiandroid.com, however when I first booted it was all in Chinese, I then changed the language to Eng(UK) and now it's 90% in English, however there are still some entries in chinese, is this just my flashing gone wrong or are there anyone else with the same issue?
Kind Regards
~Neefy
I had the same thing, I think a reboot fixed it for me
Is it just English or Chinese?
Sent from two thumbs
yea mee too
Some sections are in Chinese still even after a reboot. minor things though. I think they are more theme related for me.
Though one annoying part is that its music player downloads lyrics in chinese
I flashed This ROM yesterday
The french version and it's completely translated
MIUI is not 'officially' supported for the IncS.
It is a 'forum supported' rom, which means it will not be as per specs in all features.
Yes, there are parts in Chinese & am not sure if this is gonna be fixed anytime unless they start official support, which also i don't see happening..

but this disclaimer still appears on the MIUI page????

"This is a community support ROM only!
The developers do not provide much support for this ROM on these forums
Support is mostly provided on forums.MIUI.us
New release comes every Friday"
that doesn't show to be officially supported..
there are number of phones to which the ROMs have been ported, but am still on the fence.

I've been using the phone for the past one month and I'm still reading up about rooting the phone. Still can't decide if I want to root it since it voids the warranty.
Shall wait for the OTA update for 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 first. Still no news about it for Singapore?

You may wait for few more days. HTC has informed me via e-mail to have update within December.
Thanks. Looking forward to the update. Might decide to root my phone after that though.
Not SG user, but bought ph from SG
Now stuck at 2.3.3
HTC CS said update will come in December
But rumor said it will be 2012 FEB
Sure to root if it is not in DEC
Looking forward

If this is the case, we have to say HTC is playing double game with us. They are doing something different than their commitment and igonoring whole Asia.
i am from singapore too =D but haven heard any news on update htc sense 3.0 here yet
4 days to the end of december!
anyway a question, if i were to decide to root my phone, does it matter if i ignore all future OTA official updates and jus stick with updates from CyanogenMod?
I just had the official OTA update to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0.
After clicking "Check Now" thousand time, i got it.still dling though
I hope all others would get the same
i think we are the last among in IS.. LOL

I really think so
I was looking for an update to my wife handset and saw this post.
I received it on my S5 but release 5.0 has very quickly become 5.0.1 and even 5.0.2 and then Google announced 5.1.0 for February 2015.
Long and short of it I'd say you'll either get a buggy 5.0 soon or 5.1.0 after June 2015 !!! If at all.

What carriers have the One Mini? Can't seem to find it on the advantage page. the one remix is listed as "in development" for the lollipop update.
confirmed: http://www.gsmarena.com/htcs_lollipop_update_schedule_leaks_original_one_is_next-news-10766.php
seems like March 2015...
For me t3/2015 mean like july-august ...
And you can preview it here if you like with CM12 for the One Mini 2!!
Has anyone received lollipop yet?

This thread indicated that it could have arrived in march according to the leaked image. So lets hope thats still the case, and that they are just delayed
We received android 5.1, maybe ?
Sense 7 will arrive to the latest HTC devices such as m8 and desire eye and others with Android 5.1 directly.... Mini 2 isn't mentioned, but we should expect it.... If you think that the mini (1) has been updated till 4.4.2, we still haven't had any major updates... I think it's just a matter of time
I will make my best to port sense 7.0 to the mini 2 .. all i just need is kernel source for lollipop

As per this article, we should receive 5.0.2

Also, some leak from Vietnam is mentioned, which may not be legitimate - but if it is, we will have to wait until Q3

Firmware Finder / TEAM MT are showing a few china/asia version of 9.0.0.125 available to download....
Anyone know if I'll brick my phone flashing it with either [HuRUpdater] or Beta Flashy??
( currently "branded" on CLT-L29 (C432)... was originally a Rogers Canada phone )
so... I'm a honey badger & just did it via HuRUpdater... Looks awesome so far
How is it so far? Any big changes? Are there any stutters when it comes to animations? Is it worth hoping that Huawei will bring gestures to our device as well? How's the camera?
i dont know why you want to flash this while the real deal comes out this weekend.
