[App] Apex Launcher

I know you guys have got to be close to the ICS, have to be. If there is anything I can do to help get you there, let me know. When you get there, there is this really nice launcher called Apex. It's very smooth, it's very lite, yet customizable enough to play with the big boys. I have tried other launchers, and by the end of the day go back to Go Launcher, but this one I have had for 2 days so far. Dig it so far.

Not compatible like said above me.
Edit: Just realized what he's talking about. He's saying about how when we get ICS Up and Running to try out the Apex launcher.

It means your phone isn't compatible with the launcher since you don't have ICS

This phone is unlikely to see a fully functional ICS. It is what it is (previous generation phone).
It may get the non-HW Accelerated, nerfed, partially functional version, but even with that, I don't think there are devs actively working on it.
It is true that this will be a passed by phone in a year, but the work MT has been putting into it keeps us fairly happy with it in the meantime.
Truth be told, the only way to squeeze anything more out of these devices would be to have the processing power of the TFP with a tablet dock (plug your phone into a tablet shell and get tablet functionality) at a reasonable cost (unlikely).

Sadly, I have to agree this phone won't ever receive a fully functional rom such as cm7 but who knows it could but I personally don't think it will.

Very good, til I got my bill from att. But called them and had half of it taken care of. I hated Samsung, but this is making me change my mind. This is an international phone, so that helps.

Ice cream sandwich

So I was wondering why its so important to get ics. As you can see I moved on to the Skyrocket from Samsung and Att. We got the leak a couple days ago. I must say, its nice to look at, but for someone who is familiar with the Android I really don't see anything amazing. Menus have changed and are easier to read, my phone was faster before ics. I don't know. I think gb with your mods are perfect.

How technology is today once something bigger and better is released everybody (well almost everybody) wants to be able to have the bigger and better. So they strive to get the new product and once they do they feel accomplished and if need be they fix stuff here and there if they need too.

Indeed, and that's all it really is. I am like that with phones and with cell companies. I have a goal to stick with Att for 2 years.
I agree that with ics, anyone who is new to Android will have an easier time navigating menus and what not.

amazing to me that the Thunderbolt gets ICS but not the Revolution....is that just because LG sucks with update support and HTC doesn't?

I often wonder if its because this phone comes with bing. Maybe LG is in a contract with Microsoft and Google said "hell no you can't put bing in ICS!" So, we get left out

You are probably right. What would it take to do the little mods? Menu appearance, layout, so that it gives you mock ics?

Probably just take time to re-theme stuff and need be mods.

After the thrill is gone, will you get another LG phone?

I've seen LG drop the ball on software and with ghost calls happening and not fixed, I have issues with going to another LG phone when I have the option. Does anyone have any other thoughts?

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.
My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.

I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.

Never never never!!!!
I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.

I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.

I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.

They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.
Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.

4.3 leaked/in testing Galaxy S4

Seems as Nexus owners we're not the first to get the update this time. It could turn out to be an elaborate fake but probably genuine as Google are an experimenting company and have released two flagship devices with a vanilla Android option (although they're not "nexus"). From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any big changes (if any actually visible) and more fixes/optimisations.

Flashed it on my GS4 and working like a charm (and it's the international version of course). No root yet, so i'll switch back to 4.2.2 to get my apps lol (can't restore through TB Pro duh).
It's just a leak so don't worry about it. The Nexus devices will definitely get the 4.3 first.

Cool, I'm another few months away from a handset upgrade and so it definitely makes these phones an even better proposition, having access to stock android goodness. Was impressed seeing how quickly someone had put a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM together for the HTC One, then seen this and was very surprised.
Its good to see really as it shows that Google and the handset makers are finally getting why people like android so much and that is the option of choice and customisation. It may not be the exact reason for doing so but they must be conscious of it. As the last I/O conference showed, it was very developer orientated

I switched back to TW ROM for now. I found the camera app of TW to be of better quality and also if I have the S4, might as well use the features included in it.

So basically 4.3 has very little changes?? Mostly stuff no one will ever see or notice. In other words a placebo update basically to keep flash happys content until key lime comes out! LOL
Yay!

Majority of what is updated won't be frontend. Just additions to the internal workings of android. Maybe some slimmed down code for some Google system apps and such.

Someone have a bug with "Press Start"?
Don't work here after maps updade.

It's April 3rd, and it seems that this ended on April 2nd (which is unfortunate for those that didn't get to play).
I can't seem to find an update that caused it, and am thinking that it is server side.
However, if anyone still has a version of the app that they are able to catch pokemon on would they mind uploading the apk?
Edit: I've even uninstalled the apk from my phone, and done a fresh install from the play store with the latest version saying updated April 1st, but it seems to be that they've removed it from their end, I'm pretty pissed about that.
