[NEWS] Gingerbread for Optimus one shown!

Guys look! LG optimus one is getting the Gingerbread update soon, there's even a video of it in youtube, I hope LG does something for the optimus 2x. We could also predict that the Optimus 2x will have the same icons for the notification bar and most probably not lose the Overscroll glow effect! Well we could also predict that our update will come soon as it would be an outrage if the Optimus one receives the update 4 - 3 months before Optimus 2x
Source here

Considering that the O1 was launched nearly a year ago, I don't necessarily see this as an indication that O2X will get GB soon.

Usually, in the phone market, the phones that are launched later will receive the update first. for example, the HTC desire HD got the Gingerbread update whereas the HTC desire have not. Furthermore, O2X is the flagship device of LG.

Understand that O2x is the flagship etc but it could also have something to do with device compatibility, hardware constraints (as in the case of HTC Desire/HD)and of course sales volumes. I feel LG has sold way more O1s considering the lower price point and they promised GB to O1 users in Dec 2010.
That it took them 6 months to get the GB release out after declaring their intent doesn't bode very well for O2X does it?

Hmmm most probably the update for o2x will come in Autumn or will there be a change to closer date of release

Actually the LG's GB rom is kinda irrelevant, running CM7 without bugs and i don't miss stock ...
Only wish for the source of all the nvidia's stuff and LG's GB source, so that it gets even better.

Wow optimus one takes one year to get GB. i think o2x still need long time. I hope that LG can always release new firmware and baseband to ensure there will be no bsod/reboot problem at least for stock rom

i want 2.4

Great News
Lg has released gingerbread update to Lg P500 in romania !!!

Very optimistic. We don't even have a decent version of Froyo, there are delays with GB but we want ICS!!

Yeah! xD but I dont think ICS would come so soon as the Nexus 3 is scheduled to launch in December and the Nexus always gets the first to have the latest Android firmware

Why not? By the time Gb will have been released for us, then ICS will be shown for the public and we would just starve for it imo. As far as I am concerned I would skip to Ics but it is never gonna happen. Sry for my bad English!

[HOT!] Public Petition: LG Update our Optimus 2x

In Brazil we have a public petition asking to LG agility on this. Ice Cream Sandwich will be released next month and we can't get gingerbread yet:
The original link (in portuguese/br) is:
http://www.peticaopublica.com.br/PeticaoVer.aspx?pi=LGO2X
Citizens undersigned, here by request comes, a position on the software update from mobile phone model LG P990 OPTIMUS 2X, since the LG device sells in Brazil as the "largest processing power in the world", and in fact, it's extremely outdated, does not match the expectations of buyers.
Around the world LG is delaying all the deadlines for update our phones, disregarding the consumers.
It's unacceptable that our smartphones dont run the system 2.3, since this same hardware is already running newer S.O on T-Mobile U.S. version - LG G2X since july/2011.
We would, at least have a real date, since we are customers of the brand, and we was buying the phone, the update was a decisive factor. We trust on the responsibility of the LGE in Brazil, to provide some kind of information to its Brazilian customers. ​
If you want to help too, sign the petition and join us (translated to english):

if not this petitions are usless

Can totally agree about how the LG O2x has hardware that deserves the latest build but do think we expect too much from LG since carrier related too.. many years ago there would be hardly any updates on WM yet the community pushed with leaked builds and the users got to get fresh builds with most bugs solved by chefs etc... my point being take a look @ class action taken over the 3D drivers issues with Kaiser it really gets no where I'm sure LG will come up with the goods its just a waiting game in the meantime flash user created builds and set your phone up too rock!

i hope its work bro...

I dont really care. We have topogigi 1.7, GR3 and CM7. Surely these are better than what LG will bring to us.
I don´t want any official gingerbread anymore. Now I want ICS!
If LG is going to update to ICS I dont know, but I will jump to CM8, even without a2dp and fm radio.

hope so too.

Signed all The problem is that i want FM radio, A2DP, HDMI, and i also want USB host, because tegra 2 supports it. Only LG can give us theese features fully working.
P.s. Sorry for my very bad English.

LG Android 4.0 upgrades Optimus 2X in Q2 2012

Anyone wanna guess the delay duration?
LG plans to begin upgrading its portfolio of Android handsets to Ice Cream Sandwich in the second quarter of next year, the company has just announced. Among the first phones to benefit from Android 4.0 will be the Optimus 2X, which launched as the world's first dual-core smartphone earlier this year, the recent Optimus LTE, and the upcoming Prada Phone. They'll be followed by the Optimus 3D, Optimus Black, Optimus Big, and a couple of other handsets in Q3 of 2012. Not exactly the most aggressive rollout roadmap in the world, but we'd rather see the ICS upgrade happen later than never.
Importantly, LG continues to make no mention of the American variants of these phones — such as the T-Mobile G2x or the AT&T Thrill 4G and Nitro HD — what their fate will be remains to be seen.

Nice.. hopefully LG won't just keep pushing the dates further as they did for gingerbread.

Good news, screw the american versions, they need to be updated by their carriers anyway.
Just wish nvidia would released their crap so the dev community can make a decent ICS release NOAW.

Q2...yes...
BUT Q2 for LG's calendar, not the Gregorian calendar.

finally, i hope so, it wouldnt late Q3.

From LG Mobile facebook page:
During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Eclipse. These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third quarter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the LG Optimus EX.

I wonder about delay... Maybe we should bet?
I really hope we will receive it, but till that time I think CM with ICS will be ready.

Q2 ends in late june, maybe that's when we'll get it.
LG won't release ICS on early april. That's a fact.

I seriously doubt cm is going to release ICS for us untill its already out.

Maybe yes, maybe now. It can be the same situation as with Gingerbread. CM was provided before the official release.

The situation might be worse since we need LG for the camera and Nvidia source (or binaries that help... not 100% sure on that). An LG leaked build may help to a very limited extent. Until then it's just a waiting game.

but a month back Nvidia officially announced that they would release their codes in the first quarter so they can be more dev friendly, and help get ics to tegra devices...

Wont the next version of android be announced by then?

Hello!
Yes, Jelly Bean will be most probably out by then and the next generation Google phone with it...
I am confident that the Cyanogenmod Team will be faster than LG and ICS/CM9 will be released by Q2/2012
I am also sure that LG will release its ICS build no earlier than late Q3 to Q4/2012 – but I would be very happy if I am wrong and LG can pull its stuff together and get ICS out as announced…
But all of this is of course IMHO.

that's very cute, I'll expect the ics update by December again

One way or another we will get it, super late from LG or half a year earlier through Nvidia source and CM9.

The source for their development platforms (e.g. Tegra 2's Harmony and Ventana along with whatever else they came up with.). O2X has slightly different hardware but this will be a lot better than the nothing Nvidia has provided so far. Though, given the lack of camera, even on OMAP platforms (TI released source), it looks like camera and maybe a few other things could ultimately be up to LG. Let's hope they leak something early. =P

HW acceleration for ics?

Hi guys, just a quick one.
What's the ods for us ever getting hw acceleration on our devices running cm9?

As soon as LG releases ICS for this phone.

I think devs are waiting for ics official release from lg, due to missing source codes. (Makes sense? )

LG says Q2. But LG is never on time with their updates...

Here's the official announcement.
I hope they keep the timeline...

If i remeber correctly then they were 2-3 months late from given release date on the 2.3 update
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6

I think the more important is if it will ever be updated to ICS... Even late 2 or 3 months will be nice to receive the update. Our device goes to the 3rd update of the os and that's fantastic. As probably the last update for it, if I was in charge at LG, I would want to leave a good job done in this device, like a very well refined and stable ICS version. But it's only my opinion... For them, big companies, only matter our pockets...
Cheers

From my memory, they were 7 months late with their Gingerbread promise. So I'm gearing myself up for stock ICS by Christmas 2012.

Yupii christmas gift's!!
Thank you LG. (Not.)
The best we can do is to always be happy with the wonderful work of the devs in here. And always don't forget that they do that in their free time...

But i dont think ICS will be late cause they've to make very few changes for ICS. Only big thing is HW accelarated video playback. But as LG uses tegra2, nvidia will provide LG responsible closed source binaries. And LG has very bad reputation about software updates in the past so they wont repeat it with ICS to stay in market

ICS for O2x
Its already about end of Q2 and there's no sign of ICS upgrade for O2x, Quick voice is a faar call.
Anyway, it'd be cool to have assistant of our own!!
Majel is rumored to ve unveiled along with 4.1 JB in Google I/O, so we're gonna have an assistant anyway!!

lets c....but they have mentioned to provide the update so hopefully 2x will get something............

I'm more concerned about how long LG will make us wait!!
If you check out the Official Facebook Page of LGMobile, you can see people going berserk over LG's delay, most of them are O2X and G2X holders!!
I heard LG Indonesia/Singapore (forgot which 1) confirmed ICS upgrade in Q3 can can be as late as september.
JB is about to be released and we don't yet have ICS!!
Hopefully, Quick Voice will be worth waiting for!!

Over here, the O2X is listed as to being updated in Q2 but Optimus Black in Q3. So maybe ics is coming after all.

What's your point? The P970 is a different phone and has a different ICS release date, they don't share the same ROM.
The OB has a TI OMAP 3630 chip while the 2x has a Tegra2 one - thus they need totally different drivers etc.
I'm pretty sure that we will get an ICS upgrade but I highly doubt that LG can keep the Q2 timeframe
Personally I would bet for ~November (which would be Q4, yes).

Anyways since last few days LG has stopped releasing further GB updates if they're working on ICS then its good, it will be wonderfull if LG releases ICS leaks along with most importantly ICS kernel sources.which could bring next one big missing theme HW accelaration!

Don't worry LG will release ICS update for O2X in Q4 (December) around christmas! It will be like Christmas gift for us !
