While looking at this website: http://www.android.com/kitkat/index.html I found this:
Could this mean Google is tackling their fragmentation? If so, would 4.4 come out to ALL devices ? Also to 4x HD ? Would LG skip 4.2.2 / 4.3 and update to 4.4 ? love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this. Off topic posts welcome too
No no no no no no no and, finally, NO :banghead:
Em.. we're talking about LG They've abandoned our phone and they also have a bad reputation about updates. We didn't even get 4.2.2 and won't get anything new that will come out. I personally don't care.. we have GREAT devs that are keeping our phones updated to the latest versions of Android! Because of them, our phone won't die soon! It's really a shame for LG because Optimus 4X is a hell of a phone with good hardware and everything!
Android 4.4 is nothing more than a marketing operation. I do not think that this update will add a lot of new feature to our phone. I guess it is a minor update just like 4.3 or even less.
Why should we count on LG now ?
We have the official support of the CM team, PAC team, MIUI team. We have a lot if great devs who ported ALL the best ROMs for our phone.
If Android 4.4 is released we will get it with cm10.3 (maybe ?) So do not think about LG anymore since we do not need LG.
Anyway to come back to the discussion, I believe that this update won't be that important. However I'm impatiently waiting for Android 5.0 (if there is no 4.5 before...) because I think that this will be a great and important update, just like 2.3 to 4.0.x :thumbup:

Indeed it is relative, but I don't agree on Broadcom being the worst. The BlueDroid stack to which Google swapped BlueZ in Android 4.2 is now under the Apache license. It was a commercial project before. LG and nVidia doesn't provide anything, just what they have to (i.e. the Kernel).

you're right, BUT
as the N7 also has tegra 3 and some other same HW, we are able to "borrow" some blobs, drivers and co
best example is OptimusPlay
yeah, we're lucky we have nexus device with similar architecture. it should keep our device going for atleast a year longer than it would've been without it, i reckon.

I read several things about the fragmentation. Google is "sorting" out the android source. It will consist of several parts to make it easier to port devices.
I also read something about visible updates for any device. For example Google Now on Gingerbread without Project Butter.

I wouldn't exactly call it old, aging maybe. But you're right: Wild guesses don't help anyone. Our phone is not getting an update through LG though, that's for certain. Manufacturers just don't care enough about their "aging" products.

This, so far Roms have always been faster and better updated than official updates.
I don't even want to think about how badly made an LG Official ICS Rom could be :S
I have the NS4G and my wife has an LG Optimus S...Terrible stock. Gotta get that thing rooted. LG roms are doodoo. Her phone hard reboots itself at least 3-4 times a week.
Our O2X is based on Tegra 2. It seems that most tablets that run Honeycomb are also based on the same SoC. And that ICS is a merger of GB and HC.
Also Google promised that ICS will be open to developers (HC is not)
What do I mean?
That there is a possibility that the community will be able to make a descend ICS for our phone, as they will have their hands on all ingredients.
For stock LGs ICS, I really doubt...
At this rate, probably not
Cough.. cm9.. cough
Cyanogen will 99.99% likely have it for the O2X eventually, they said at the android bbq that it will take them probably around 3-4 months after ICS release to get the first nightly out for any devices, and it won't be long after that for the O2X hopefully!
ya'll waiting for ice cream sandwich for the O2X?? im giving my O2X to my dad and in getting myself a nexus prime/galaxy nexus.
no more problems with updates.

There should be no problem, if we get drivers for Tegra2. The XOOM gets JB, which means JB will run on Tegra2. The Nexus S will get JB, too. So there should be no problem with 512 MB RAM,

NVidia is smart. They wouldn't leave it on an internet connected computer. Only on a LAN, that is inaccessible from the internet. Only to employees with password.
JB on O2X would be awesome , but as of now , I don't think even the ICS roms are pretty stable when it comes to total stability in all fronts :/
Nova seemed to be the best of the lot , still crashes a lot when using some apps and no 3D acceleration n even unable record videos , so how good would a JB release be?
Surely would love to use it n waiting for it since I believe our device can handle it
OMG STOP!
This thread is:
-useless
-not in the right place.
There won't be official JB for our phone for a simple reason: 8 months after, we still don't have official ICS.
If we are lucky we'll have CM10 or AOSP based ROM, hacked to run with old GB drivers.

Thank you darling, done.
I guess we won't get official JB from LG anymore, but as soon as we get ICS (which will be God knows when but I still have faith it will happen eventually) the Custom ROMs will surely be able to give us JB, since it is only incremental over ICS:
I imagine every JB ROM currently in development will have, at the very least, the same limitations as the ICS ROMs for the O2x have. Just keep in mind that no release for any other Tegra2 based device will do us any good since the platforms differ in ways that will make reverse engineering or serious hacking necessary to make it work, which is infeasible to do if you are a non-profit dev.
I agree this thread has to be moved to the Q&A section. I just wanted to give my 2 cents
But is LG not obligated to deliver JB to the LG O2X? It was released march 2011. JB was released June 2012. Didn't LG sign to the 18 months rule by Google? They also did release a white one later.

Will this be enough? Or do we(or our devs) also need documentation for LG Star platform?
I'm really hopeful that this will somehow change something for the future of our phone,
but somehow I highly doubt that what they will release will really be the relevant sources for us...
Wow, this might lead to big things. If this is correct there might be a chance of... eh... hmm... No, its Nvidia! They DONT share something like that so easy. Its a trick. Next phone doesnt include a Nvidia chip... at all!

It means that sometime in the future there will be open source Tegra drivers by the community. Those drivers will offer hw acceleration for the UI but that's it. Without documentation of the 3d interfaces you won't be able to play games or use anything else that makes use of 3d effectively. Media decoding through the gpu will also need a new implementation by the community in order to work.

And seeing how long it takes for ATI/AMD open source developers to write a good driver with the documentation that was published in 2007, I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Well I guess you'll be out of luck for all new phones in that case. I'm not even sure there are drivers for ICS available for the APQ8064. Qualcomm had it running on their reference platform quite a while ago, but all devices with an APQ8064 were brought to market with Jelly Bean.

So because you've got apps that you can't be bothered replacing, that aren't maintained any more because the devs can't be bothered... you expect sony to release a totally different OS for their phone?

So because you've got apps that you can't be bothered replacing, that aren't maintained any more because the devs can't be bothered... you expect sony to release a totally different OS for their phone? Or, how about you just find replacement apps, or pester the lazy devs into updating. This is totally not an issue from Sony,.,,, just lazy app devs.

I did say I only wished for it. Never demanded or at the very least ask for it so no biggie with that. Also you can't bother any dev who decided to discontinue support for their apps so yeah pretty much either getting newer alternatives or live without those apps. Some of the noteable apps I was saying was the chainfire 3d and flash player. So good luck bothering adobe for asking to continue flash for jellybean and about chainfire? There are hundreds of android users who asked him to make chainfire 3d work for ICS and above but he said it's just too hard or worse not possible and most of all you can't say they're lazy devs.
