Official Gingerbread is out! (Update: News leak, not officially out as of now)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...&set=a.454136132706.248744.96991262706&type=1
Half an hour ago I spotted this post LG Mobile Singapore posted on FB, I haven't tried it yet, but it's definitely believable (as we could even bring it to the stores for the update).
I'll try it when I can, not really able to do it at the moment.
Any Singaporeans tried it yet? Is it available in other countries? Is it working well (i.e. does it still have heating up and BSOD issues like in Froyo)? Is the kernel updated? Is anybody able to dump it for the benefit of developers if it's not out for other regions yet?
Note: I'll answer the above questions myself if I can do it before anybody else does it, however till then, may there be kind souls to help! =D
Edit: Sorry, it's just a little leak from some itchy fingers. It's not available as of now.

What's the kernel version?

omg. they deleted their post. seems like a leak. gona try to update now.
edit 1 : seems like its fake. some users update it and say it was 2.2.2

The FB picture guide is definitely still online, follow my link in the first post.
I'm going to try now, if it doesn't appear I might just call LG to ask.
Edit: No updates available. Oh well. Seems like it's just a little leak from someone's itchy fingers. At least we have confirmation that it's coming soon!

For all peoples who are waiting for the O2X GB update to be available soon, the wait is almost over. LG will release its GB update for Optimus one lately this month followed by O2X .. Obviously, this is not my word. You can read this from the link below.

There is a Korean Tegra 2 based LG Optimus family member on the way ( check it out on gsmarena ) with Gingerbread onboard . So , I think that they have a clue when the upadate is going to roll out . I just wish it gets to be 2.3.4 not 2.3.3

Yes, it will be 2.3.4...

In my opinion. If you count by valve time it would be a TF 2 comparison.

Or rather Duke Nukem Forever time, they started the development in 1996 and released it 2011.

sometimes little harsh is needed with hope LG would heard us..

I totally agree, they need to hear us. You got a good piece of hardware here and if you want to wipe out the competition, you just have to deliver...still not gonna whine about the phone because its a hell of a phone for me and I don't regret having it...
I just hope they deliver ICS though, I won't care if they dont release GB if ICS is up and running on the phone

If the GB update solve all the current issues, I dont think it would take much time for them to deliver ICS, but still it depends on LG it they wants to give us ICS.

we will get ICS when Gellybean comes out, lg works on a different year.

[Q] Optimus 2X or 3D?

Hi,
LG gives me the possibility to change my Optimus 2X to a O3D for free.
Would you do this or would you stay at the 2X?

What? How?? :O :O
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk

The CPU or SoC is more efficient than Tegra2 and It has the industries best GPU I think, I'd take it.

In Germany, LG gives this possibility to all customers, if you ask them. They do it because they don't know, when GB will be released for the 2X.
But it's only for Germany, I don't know, if LG makes this in other countries, too. Maybe you should ask LG.
I'm waiting for the reply from LG and in a few days, I'll send my 2X to LG, if nothing goes wrong.

I am very skeptical about that!!
They won't even give us a brand new device as a replacement here! So, I don't see why they would give us a BRAND NEW AND MORE EXPENSIVE device as a replacement! :/
But then, no harm trying..
Will ask 'em.

I was offered this here in the UK but declined as the O3D is chunkier and heavier and I prefer the O2x hardware. Now running GR4 and very happy with it. Not a single bsod or freeze so far and very snappy response

Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

Strange they would change your phone due to not having Gingerbread, as the replacement also doesn't have Gingerbread.
If CM builds were further along, I'd probably consider it.

But the O3D has nearly the same hardware than the Nexus Prime, so it'll be one of the first CM9 smartphones.

I wish I could ask them but the danish customer support site is down for maintenance :/

Kick up a fuss, contact Warren Lewis who is the LG Mobile UK head and be a pain in the ass. I'll PM you contact details of one of their Service Managers. She was the one who offered me the swap. My worry is that you might end up with a refurb O3D though...

Camera, sound etc. should be the same (except display and some other minor things), too. One of the CM devs said, the O3D will be one of the first CM9 devices because of that.

They will need an unlock procedure for an LG Optimus Nexus G, so maybe they will release an universal tool or procedure

You knwo what I bought myself a S3, I love LG and their designs but I had to do my research better instead of my instincts, with this policy they will sure lose a lot of their future clients. I love my freedom and I do what I want to do and if they are open minded they should give us the possibility to unlock the bootloader.
Anyway thx for all your great support as Dexter, I wish I could have keep this phone but I cant live with a locked bootloader and different roms and kernel to try.
Btw I still have my LG for sale and is a pain in the ass to sell this phone I can say so most ppl not have a good eye in this product bcz of the updates even I had already two updates when bought it and probably that Jelly bean will come soon too with their corporation with Nexus now. If LG still not have an image problem then they sure not will stay long in the bussines of smarthphones too bad.

+1 !!!!!!
I don't know why they changed their mind from O2X to 4X HD, but it was definitively a wrong decision...

A locked bootloader is the only possible decision as it is part of the Android security concept (and I believe necessary on new devices since Android 4.0)
See my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32347996&postcount=108
Android gets professional and wants to be suitable for business usage.
So data security becomes more important. Without a locked bootloader there is not much security.

Of course, but you must enable Debugging in Android to use adb which breaks almost all security.
You really need to understand how Android works:
I suggest reading a bit on developer.android.com or source.android.com
especially here: http://source.android.com/tech/security/
example: even the FBI was not able to break Android lockscreen:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/fbi-android-phone-lock/
I'm aware that here on XDA nearly nobody cares about this, as everyone has unlocked bootloader, CWM installed and adb enabled.
My point is that manufacturers have to sell the phones with locked bootloader for security reasons, but also allow users to unlock it (together with a factory reset).

I don't get why there should be a factory reset. I've had that on a friend's Wildfire S: You can't have root without unlocking the bootloaderand wiping the phone but can't take a backup of your data because you don't have root. It's not a problem if you unlock it directly after buying, but there are so many people who just use their phone for a while and then find out they can do more with an unlocked bootloader. And for all those, their data is gone forever.

A locked bootloader (together with other components like system encryption, lockscreen etc.) prevents someone who finds / steals a phone from dumping the data.
If he could unlock the phone without loosing the data, he would be able to dump the data (e.g. by flashing CWM with fastboot). So this security feature would be useless.
So if someone unlocks the bootloader all data is gone.
