We have Optimus L7 here in Canada. It has similar spec as our OB and comes with LG stock ICS.
It would be very awesome if someone can port the ICS from the device for the developers.

Actually I just googled it and found a link about the ROM. http://bit.ly/IAufHI
Yeah i believe this official ics can help our developers here

i have the same question
LG OB L7 has not, unfortunately, the same specification as LG OB :-( contains Cortex -A5 CPU and graphics chipset adreno in port will be a problem with drivers for hardwer LG OB ...
L7 is not similar to OB at all..remember for a "port", the primary facets needed to match (in order of importance and relevance) are chipset, cpu architecture, Gpu, screen resolution(to some extent), same radios, etc.
Indeed nothing matches between these two, apart from both being LG.
no its imposible, L7 have Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon as chipset and OP TI OMAP 3630...
but FOP is working on ICS!!

Hi everyone I want to know the performance of LG optimus black.
I m planning to buy it but I n confused in black n nexus s which one OS better as per gaming performance....
Optimus black is able to run samurai vengeance game ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
yes, it can run samurai II
The Nexus S has a slightly newer GPU with SGX 540 while the Optimus Black has SGX 530. It can play samurai vengeance.
Motorola defy plus have 2 gb internal storage ,512 RAM n 1 gb Rom ....can anyone please clear this that which one is better defy plus or optimus black....? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
The Defy + has a TI OMAP 3620 Processor which is older than the Optimus Black* which has a TI OMAP 3630 but both 1GHz. It has the same GPU i think (PowerVR SGX530). Correct me if Im wrong. Optimus Black also has 2GB Internal Storage but 1GB* Usable. Also has 512MB Ram. Same 3G Download speed but a slightly slower upload speed on the Defy+. Same camera megapixels, bluetooth etc.
So I guess the Optimus Black is better... unless you want shockproof, water resistant etc.
if you want more support from devs then go for nexus S (i even think that ICS is coming up for it compared to LG black which is still stuck on froyo)..
anyways i liked the design of LG black and has gorilla glass compared to the oleophobic screen of nexus S..
I am wondering if the LG OB hardware specs will be enough to have a fluid experience running ICS. Given that this device has only 512MB of RAM and a single core 1GHz CPU, do you guys think we could have an overall good experience running ICS (e.g. no lagging)? CPU IMO seems to be the least of the concerns, but what about the RAM capacity? I've read somewhere sometime ago that Google stated that any GB capable device, would run ICS with no issues, but I've also read in a forum that 512MB is the minimum required to run it so we might be on the edge. What do you guys think?
Important: This is not a thread to discuss whether or not LG will be pushing out the ICS update or when so let's try to be focused on the topic.
I am certain the Optimus Black has adequate hardware capabilities to handle ICS.
Apart from CPU and Ram, GPU is the next criteria for ICS which demand 2D acceleration to be handle by the GPU.
It is just up to LG / Cyanogenmod community to bring it to life.
it can handle...otherwise it wouldnt get the official update!
Keep one thing in mind that :
"Any device that can run Gingerbread can also run ICS" (according to google).
Its not possible when we have useless TouchWiz like Samsung bcoz it takes alot of RAM
I actually sold my Galaxy Tab when I heard that Samsung will not be releasing ICS for Galaxy S or Tab while it was only 9 months old !
So its useless to have a device that has no future support from manufacturer.
Millions of units of Galaxy Tab & Galaxy S were sold worldwide & Samsung embarrassed millions of user by just making excuses
Plus if mid-range Sony Ericsson phones can run ICS (via official update) then why now Optimus Black?
Come on guys it has 1GHz CPU.

Well technically the Black doesn't have 1 Ghz processor, it's just factory overclocked to reach that.
As for ICS, I wouldn't expect the official update to be out until 2013
I think the OB can handle ICS very well.
If the GT540 (my old phone) is able to run ICS (still BETA but it works) then
i see no difficulty in running ICS on the OB.

OB is certainly able to handle ICS since Nexus S is able to use 4.0 with the same specification to OB. (1GHz CPU, 512MB Ram, but more powerful GPU SGX540)
yes, Galaxy S has some full working ICS ports, also on Galaxy SL i9003, which has the same hardware as our OB, there are some devs working on ICS
Theoretically yes. But will there be a stable and usable ics rom is another question. I am pretty sure before that I would be with another newer phone already. Now let's enjoy gingerbread first.

ICS needs 1ghz cpu & 512 mb gpu. the black has both. i don't know what will happen with the stock ics as it will have the lg bloatware & the optimus ui, but with AOSP projects and trees like cyanogenmod,i think it can not only run,but run very well on our black.
and btw, the black uses tiomap 3630 & cortex a8 combo, i think it's stock 1ghz and NOT factory overclocked. the 3610 chipset would have been overclocked 2 get 1ghz, not 3630.
My Nexus S runs ICS AOSP+ 4.0.3 + M4trix Kernel flawlessly & very smooth. I also can OB & NS have similar hardware configuration, so it must be supported! CM9 already on its way afaik
I think OB can handle it as LG stated it in their schedule of ICS upgrade for their optimus phones.

If you peek at knzo's notes while developing his Nova, it is factory overclocked which it explains why the Black is never stable when overclocked to 1.2Ghz and above. Here's another android phone using the very same processor clocked at the stock speed: Defy.
Just to be clear I'm not sourgraping but CM9 may just be our only hope for ICS (at least ICS before the end of 2012).
Since there is an ICS Beta avaiable for the GT540 (600Mhz) i think the OB will do just fine
now who went on to tell you ics requires 1ghz and 512mb... google for android developer phones and you will be surprised at the minimum spec needed for ics... these are the phones on which fw are developed and it is required that fw runs on them smoothly... the minimum reqs are so low that even 600ghz 256mb can handle it...
ps:no gpu required too
Ricardo said that every device with 512 MB ram and more will be supported by CyanogenMod
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
in regard to my previous post (2 posts up) current dev phone is htc magic with only 192mb ram (unlike the 288mb that aired the market) and 528mhz arm cpu so that means ics was developed and should run on it. The galaxy nexus is the advanced dev phone and that is a totally different matter. This means that black will be more than adequate to run ICS compared to the htc magic's specs... It would be lame to asume that google is developing towards the high end users as even as we speak 1ghz is starting to become the standard on market and still it isnt if you look at the low end devices that are released out there still... There will be still some time till 1ghz/512 ram are considered the standard (not by users but by companies that is) so it is safe to assume that you will be ok for quite some time with black (and me with o3d). Hell my kid's huawei joy (aka vodafone joy845) has beta versions of ICS running and it is th lamest phone I ever layed my hands on.

I had heard that Nvidia hasn't released some drivers/source code for ICS and hence ICS is not possible on tegra devices !!
If that is so, then how some ICS roms like owains and hei's have came up - ?
Also i read a post nearly 4 weeks ago in dev section that Nvidia has released the source code...!!
Will someone help to clear my confusion whether all drivers have been released or not

Because we have good devs doing good work here in xda and among the cyanogen team.

they are not released otherwise we did have full hardware accelaration now
but hey we got arcee the cyanogenmod maintainer of the p990 and he is really awesome!!
I don't 100% understand the matter, but does this mean something good for us?

NEON is hardware base floating point emulation which is released in cortex-a8 and in some cortex-a9. for example processor used in Samsung Galaxy S. We have software based vfpv3 vectorization in o2x. HW accelated NEON could work much better in many aspects like video decoding etc.

It is a shame that neon isn't supported by the Tegra 2
Tegra 2 series
The second generation Tegra SoC has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU (lacking ARMs advanced SIMD extension, marketed as NEON), an ultra low power (ULP) GeForce GPU with 4 pixel shaders + 4 vertex shaders,[14] a single-channel memory controller with either LPDDR2 at 600 MHz or DDR2 at 667 MHz, a 32KB/32KB L1 cache per core and a shared 1MB L2 cache.[15] There is also a version of the SoC supporting 3D displays; this SoC uses a higher clocked CPU and GPU.

ICS related discussions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347118
I have searched for this and found that the question has been asked in threads but not answered.
Is it possible to use drivers & other stuff from another Tegra 2 device that already got ICS (for example the ASUS tf101) to improve and add functionality(for example full HW acceleration) to the P990 ICS builds.
/M
If it is possible to use them i would say that we would already had hw acceleration working. They are closed source for every nvidia socs, not just for o2x. Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
Yup, every tegra 2 is not the same.. it is a combination of different hardware SoC. Alot of ppl already asked this question.
Guess we just have to wait till LG rolls out official ICS for o2x and nvidia source code before we can see amazing bleeding edge custom tweaks.
hi guys i was wondering the "lg optimus black " has a "ti omap 3630" and the lg optimus l7 has "Qualcomm MSM7227A"
people say that "ti omap 3630" is better than "Qualcomm MSM7227A" but the wiered thing when playing games like asphalt 7
the "Qualcomm MSM7227A" wins and doesnt lag like "ti omap 3630" in the optimus black why is that
Probably because of bad support from TexasInstruments, bad code from LG itself and so on. I never understood it myself, but TI support really is pretty much the worse, I have even seen. Without the proper and up to date drivers for a device, how should you be able to use its' full potential? At least, these are my thoughts about that topic...

agree , because we have a cortex a8 + a powervrsgx530 which should well ,, its same as the iphone 4 but with a bit less powerfull gpu
msm7227a have cortex-a5
cant record and play hd video
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7227a&c=qualcomm_msm7227a
its less powerful than our cortex but it has better coding with the ics
from my experience, the ob is faster
the stock l7 even lags when playing where is my perry

well , can u be sure that the ics for our optimus black will be better than gingerbread ??
normally ics with removed unnecessary apps would be faster than our existing gb
So will we be able to run Asphalt 7 that smooth?!

since the processor is better, yes
but i run asphalt 7 smooth on zeusv6.39
(now am on v7 but on oc its smooth)
i heard ics has better hardware acceleration

i hope the official ice cream sandwich would be better imconfident that lg will because lg is not that type of "several upgrades" company if u know what i mean ,, its just a simple equation. if its done the this would be perfect
better drivers + better system = awesome performance
lg has other phones to sell that's a reason why they might not update and also, they have opted for two updates as compared to other companies who provide only one
