Database Develop

Whats stopping us from building from source

I downloaded the CM7 source today to give porting a go spent 4 hours or so writing scripts etc for the p970 thought I could use a bunch of the libs from other phones etc like the galaxy S for the power VR libs and stuff like that...
first just wondering why no one has thought of this before guessing its not doable before i go any further any rom devs given this a go?

it's not so easy
port cm7 to p970 is a huge work
and maybe few mount later ,LG release official 2.3 update,CM7 may release a version for us,i guess

you're right. not only more developers but also users,users give devs power

Yeah i figured it'd be a lot of work i haven't got time atm to do much but hopefully during the next holidays i'll have a better look.

Cyanogenmod definetly receives Ice Cream from Google. About our phone will get the port we'll see...

*looks for places to donate to 4.0 for p970*

Good news!
I'll have to wait anxiously in our OB.

Google has been public their code for ICS, while LG still patiently keep their GingerBeard secret.
2+ for Google
1+ for CyanogenMod - An ICS release soon
2- for LG

Now we have reason to get jealous. SE just confirmed today that they will really update their 2011 Xperia lineup to 4.0 ICS. We know those phones have only about 320MB of ROM. LG it's your turn!

The positive thing is that LG is almost running out of letters for their V20 GB releases, now only u v w x y z. Almost V30....ICS? (froyo was V10x)

When the letters inevitably runs out it may be the start of the symbols era::laugh::laugh:
Welcome to the 2014 Gingerbread update v20£...

For ICS i have the feeling that lg may copy from CM and use v40 instead of v30 (it's only my opinion)...
Returning on topic, some people suggested (Hope dies last) that may be the a preparation for the big ics jump... But i'm very skeptical about it...
(i know that my english is sh*t)

I think ICS for o2x is still far coz they would not still work on GB (v20t?) if they were to release ICS soon

still they are releasing gb 2.3.4 at least they should have to update their version from 2.3,4 to 2.3.7

Hm, why should they have done it? Only to have the latest 2.3 Android version, or is there a solid reason why you're asking that?
2.3.3 brought us dual core improvements, 2.3.4 the improved Gtalk (voice + video calling).
2.3.5 to 2.3.7 are mainly updates/bugfixes for the Nexus S (and AOSP apps like camera). There's no real need in adapting these - and as there's always the possibility to break other things by a version bump I can understand the decision to stay on 2.3.4.

If they wished ago then they'd have but They wont now as their next is ICS and they wont upgrade kernel either for ICS as thats(ICS) is the last support they've to give for Optimus 2x.

No they have to make GB perfect which almost is before going to ICS otherwise ppl will complain neither stable gb they've to use nor stable ICS, as early ICS build are supposed to have bugs
And after making gb perfect they will merge their latest gb changes directly to ics so less work for them

If LG wants to perfect GB for releasing an update to ICS, we can wait an extremely long time...sometime around 2250...

They also can start this way v21a,v21b...
So we can keep GB 4ever

HW Accelerated ICS Roms

Anyone know an ICS Rom that has HW acceleration? I've tried Nova and Hellfire Sandwich but neither has that. Suggestions. Currently runnign stable CM 7.2.

The ISC drivers that are needed for acceleration are available, but are useless until LG releases some sort of Kernel to work with the drivers to my understanding. They are obligated to release the kernel and other stuff needed for developers to build a Complete and stable rom, but no one knows when. It should be soon tho, my guess 1week-1month maybe even sooner.
Here is the website, not sure if its official or not. As you can see, the kernel currently on the site is for v20(Gingerbread I think) we need v30 which is for ICS
http://code.google.com/p/openstar2x/

Since we don't have the drivers, we can't have hw accelerated roms.. so you'd better wait for lg official update..

@Dimension 2035 Thanks for the explanation. Is it safe to assume that when official ICS for p990 drops (its out for su660) then the dev team will have the kernel they need to work with?
@Byteater Definitely won't ever do an official LG update. When I tried upgrading to official Gingerbread my phone got bricked past recovery, luckily the guys i bought it from sent me a new one and so instead I just flashed CM 7 the next time and it works great... prolly better than official LG ICS when that comes out.

There is only one place I know that may bring ICS to the P990 and that is LG Singapore. If they do it will be Perfect!
Here is a discussion thread about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851702

you don't need to upgrade the phone to official ICS. But the official release (with source codes) will help devs to extract drivers and to insert them in cm 10 roms

NO!
we have to wait for the sources otherwize we wont know what to do with the binaries, also, 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 didnt suffer such drastic changes as its made obvious by the very small difference from 1 to the other, theyr both 4. something, so theyr almost the same except for some optimizations in jb if i didnt understand wrong. bottom line is, as soon as we get the sources well have a fully working cm10 rom in very little time, drivers are all thats missing since only camera doesnt work properly now... (at least in the cm10 rom im using(tony. p's hackfest)

I'll be waiting patiently for the developers to work their magic I guess!

Hi.
I'm using Nova HD rebuild ICS CM9 ROM on my Optimus 2x and i'm very happy with it but I'm missing HW support. It was said that the devs couldn't do anything until LG releses update for ICS. This is what I found on internet:
"Android 4.0 now available for LG Optimus 2X... in South Korea, anyway" (sorry I can't post a link...it's on engadget.com)
so would this help or are we still just hopping nont to be stuck on GB.
Tnx for answer.

Still last LG phone I bought..

The last month all P990 users became very happy!
We had the V28 leak and a lot of good devs made it stable even made a zip (Thanks tonyp) so we could easily install it via CWM.
After that we had RC gave us CM10!!!! Ofc we bypassed CM9 but no problem by me, and now every day we have new version with bug fixes!
Thanks RC!! You made our 2x rock again! And our top devs will start producing their own CM10 based roms at the end of the month!!
BUT what has LG done?? It's the 9th of November and still no official ICS or JB... We like playing with our 2x and trying kernels, BB, roms,
scripts and much more. But what of the thousands of 2x owners who won't root their phone?? If ICS was released we all would have stable CM9
and 10 and we wouldn't fight with bugs. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for the progress of the last month but I am very disappointed from LG.
Thanks to all devs who keep our phone alive! :good::good::good:

and you make this thread for .............. ??
let us noob hanging around here FREE PORN

i gotta say.. even with all the work RC has done for us.. and the work of the rest of devs.. this phone is still trash... once i get enough cash im gonna toss it into outer space..
