What we don't have to do a ROM that has got HW acceleration? I think forum's devs are better than LG's ones, why they can develop HW accel. and we can't?
Because LG can make fully compatible one. It has something like special package from nVidia from tegra 2,we don't have.
anyway we have sources, but i am not Android Dev, and I don't know if they can be used to make own HW driver.

the binary drivers will be released with official update then only the processor can be configured for the full HW acceleration so all the NVIDIA tegra 2 are waiting....

If we would have the (correct) sources then this could be done. But we don't have them, only LG does.

Prada Phone Driver
Hey today the Prada Phone got his ICS update and as far as i know it also has the A9-Cortex CPU...
...so wouldn't it be possible to take the Driver(or Package, don't know that exactly) from the Prada Phone ROM for fully working HW Accerleration on the O2X?

Do you all who say "take it from another device, it has ICS" really think our dev's wouldn't take the drivers if it would make HW acc. possible ? hmm.. just read one of the thousand ICS threads for the o2x, in every thread you can read that they need the correct drivers from lg, so please stop discussing about such things..

ZTE Grand X
Just before this is closed . I would like to ask a quick question. I understand we cant use the drivers form transformer bcoz tablet chips are configured differently. Also PRADA is OMAP. A few weeks back i heard of ZTE Grand X with Tegra 2. So can't we use the drivers from that one?

That has been discussed before, and unfortunately, no, it can't be done.
Btw steadymove has a very good point; if something a non dev can think of is actually possible, a dev would have already done that. There's really no need to ask if something is possible if you yourself are not sure it is.

At least we're not in the same shoes of Motorola Droid 2X users, that share the same platform but Motorola confirmed in May they'll not upgrade it to ICS. We at least, are in the hope LG does it and does not fall back on it's announcement.

Maybe because they have a lot of work to do with porting an android version to our phone which is not in pre-alpha state...it's like a new experience for them..they should take their time if its worth it..
Do LG have to port android 2.3 to O2X?? Dont understand how android works at all. Isn't it finished by google and LG only have to install bloat and drivers????
please
If they wanted, it would run 2.3.4 already, that´s 100% sure.

No it doesnt do an excellent job - besides the obvious problems with bsod and rebooting which many are facing, it also has a number of other very annoying issues which everyone are effected by and which everyone hopes gets resolved with Gingerbread. Your phone are no different than any other O2x and your phone has exactly the same issues as everyone elses. Just because you may not be experienced enough to recognize these issues, doesnt mean your phone does an excellent job - it only means your standards are less than others.
If we ever do get a properly optimised Gingerbread fixing these issues, then you will perhaps have a better understanding of how this phone should be running, considering the hardware.
Man even if there would be no reason for 2. 3 i just wanna have it , only the custom ginger roms that were gonna have is more than enough as a update reason . Dude we are like frozen atm stuck at optimated stock roms and thers not much left to "optimale "
I too have no bsod or reboots not even once. The only problem i have is poor battery but this is also the case for all android phones. Other than that. Been very happy with my phone and I'm sure gingerbread will make me happier.

The answer is easy... that's because they are LG !!
Try to sell as many as possible
So they spend most of time to promote their products, not spend time for software..
Don't you see? How long they spend for reboot fix...and yet not solve it
But why is it so hard to port android from google to the different phones?
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Too big HW diversity, crapy HW designs, bug-plagued drivers..
From my opinion, they need their own unique.
if the software is the same (standard from google)
the market share would be seized by Samsung, HTC, Sony.
However, LG still lack of professional to solve most of problem that the end users are suffering (like us, freezing/rebooting problem)

'cause each company has to adapt their drivers for each phone. That's why it's hard.
And here is why it take so long : because they all feel forced to add a stupid brand layer (LG Home, LG apps... But that's true with most of the companies).

Hmm... Can't understand that either... Drivers for tegra 2 is made by nvidia right? All LG has to do is add the driver to google's android? Other HW in the phone is not developed by LG either so they will have a driver from the manufactor wont they?
All i see that LG have to do is to develop the awful crapware they ship the phones with. That would perhaps take some time... but 6!! SIX!! months???

YES TABLETS!!!! is that a phone... no it isn't.
chances that LG will ship ICS update to O2X
With the current phase manufacturers are shipping out devices I simply can't believe that LG would be putting any effort to upgrade Optimus 2X to ICS in Q3/2012.
They will have already too many devices announced/in the pipeline at Q3/2012 where they will focus their development resources that they will not definitely to sacrifice any resources to platform they will not use anymore. And that's sad & irresponsible and eventually this kind of behavior will really hurt the whole Android story. Too many manufacturers are selling stuff they will discontinue supporting while people are still on the contract with their carriers. And honestly HW on Optimus 2x could live for ages if you just look on the HW spec.
Look here! http://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra What do you think? Video Encoding/decoding and H/w bugs can now solved? ???
As a lot of developers said, this is for linux, not for android so it's useless

At this moment, none of the three handsets with Tegra 2 (LG P990/P999/SU660, Motorola ME860/MB860, Samsung GT-I9103) have official ICS ROMs.
At the same time, these 3 manufacturers have rolled out ICS updates for other devices, so it's not like they don't know how to work with ICS.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions on who should be blamed for this frustrating situation of our devices. I know, though, who NOT to buy from again (hint: it's not LG).
And before someone say T2 tablets getting ICS, tablets != phones. I don't think any T2 tablets even have a 3G radio, so the chip can be of a completely different SKU and hence incompatible binaries.

Nvidia probably gave the sources to lg (and other companies) before the public ics release
It is not up to nvidia to update the device to ICS it is up to lg but they are busier with newer phones

nah I just like your general attitude towards building ROMS for this phone! its great to have a good community right?
I agree though with your logic...its just a truth that I choose not to accept since I did buy this phone nay a year ago for a hefty sum of money. I just want LG to give you guys the sources so we can all have fun and leave them alone (and get me that ICS fun)
Yeah I don't know why LG don't just "leak" the ics testing rom for O2X which I'm sure does exist in the deepest realm of LG.
That way it would get us lot of their back, they could concentrate on the newer phones, and nobody would care about the official release of ICS for O2X anymore
As someone who has had several LG phones I can safely say that once they have released a phone LG tends to stop giving a crap about it.
I think it's not in the LG itself, because no one with a Tegra 2 is not received ICS. Samsung has updated all the models, but it has not updated the model Galaxy R, but we know how well does the Samsung firmware! I think there is some sort of a different problem!
Nvidia probably gave the sources to lg (and other companies) before the public ics release
It is not up to nvidia to update the device to ICS it is up to lg but they are busier with newer phones

It depends on the quality of the company, after a very long supported samsung Galaxy S, even when the market was a Galaxy S2.
The company realized the essence of Samsung Android devices, such as to make them attractive to buyers - do quality support. Other companies do not understand this, because the coolest gadget, without the support - a piece of plastic!

I think P990 could get the drivers after their beta rom released and the Hardware Acceleration of ICS for P990 could be solved. If so, LG provide ICS upgrade or not is not important.

Good god! the k-touch w700 its really equal to the p990 :laugh::laugh::laugh:
now i got new hopes =D
it will probably have the same problem for porting as all other ics tegra2 phones: it doesn't include lg's modifications.

Don't get any high hopes, it is very difficult that the SoC is exactly the same. The Lg 2x is more than a year and a half old, this phone you guys are talking about is recent just like the ZTE Mimosa is, those tegra2 chip have different coding inside.
Even though i have my fingers crossed (just for good luck).
As it was mentioned before, this thread should be on the "ICS updates out" thread........so we can keep on track of the news.

kernel has nothing to do with JB. Kernel versions have no influence on Android versions. Look at ICS, there are phones with it and they are running with 2.6 kernel. So don't worry about kernels on Jelly Bean.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. Unless it is exactly the same configuration i.e. star board, which is seriously doubt, it is of no use just like ZTE Mimosa / Grand.
the k-touch w700 is as old as o2x!! Great chances to be vantana board

The ZTE was launched a few weeks ago with ICS, it was decided that the fact it wasnt based on the Star platform (LG phones!) that it was useless and even the way they implemented ICS was poor so nothing at all to learn. This was confirmed by a EB dev unfortunately, and many people before like Ricardo at some point and he is pretty much top dog in terms of getting an official response .
However a different point is that out of all the devices that were launched without ICS this is the first to get it, it makes sense that Nvidia must have finally given out the required documents etc to OEMs as they are all around similar time frames, Paul at Modaco has just said it is in testing and due soon and he has sources at LG along with him being a respected dev, not the crap media reporters like GSM arena who spout random poop.
So yes it looks like we will get ICS within the month since you showed that the Samsung has now got it, the Samsung Galaxy R/Z is due soon as well so its all happening now . Samsung have a bigger dev team and havent had to make massive cuts so its understandable that an LG release will take a bit longer.
Now long now!.

ZTE Mimosa X. There are so many posts in the ICS Discussion thread filled with this. It has been analyzed by EGB team and these other phone ROMs are proved to be of no use even if they have Tegra 2 (words of devs, not me).

The exact ZTE you mentioned, the ZTE Mimosa X... please just google it or follow this link : http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/zte-grand-x-review-50007061/ there are alot of other sites covering this device and it will be on sale at virgin UK shortly.
And yes I have read this whole thread which is why I decided to reply, you are interested but unfortunately this is stuff we cant use to our benefit, we have to wait for an LG optimus phone with a t2 SoC to have hope, basically it needs to be LG star... theres more to a phone than just the SoC drivers.
The only importance about this leak is that Samsung now has a ROM for Tegra 2 based on ICS, this means that the drivers are finally being used by the OEM and implies that since the rest of the industry has taken along time that they will be nearing completion as well, we know that the o2x rom should be out fairly soon so its a question of when not if anymore.
TLR It cant help us, we need an LG phone with tegra 2 SoC to even come close to helping but best bet is to wait for O2x ICS which is on its way .

It's somewhere on my dev host account in the public folder, you have to search it though as I'm on the phone only.
But I chatted with Ricardo today, other devices are useless, it's LG or nothing.
