Well LG is now saying anytime soon...
I guess thats means by the end of this year...
Want to get CM on my 2x, but can't
Never ever LG for me...
Notice how the optimus 3d has been delayed. My thinking is that was the priority. Once launched they'd fix our problem. Its been delayed by 2/3 weeks which means our update will probably be as well.
Hope I'm wrong mind you. Thankfully I'm not getting too many bsod‘s

What's stopping you?
From LG Denmark: update delayed as it was not approved but still on track to a June release. Basically "any time soon".

I agree...
But I don't think so... They can't follow simple instructions...
Yea. They did not implement the source code the right way, they got regarding Virtual Souround. Still waiting for that... (Got a friend working at the company that makes the software)
I Guess an LG error... :-(
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129486
I emailed LG customer service from 4 different countries. The two answers I got were:
1) Yes yes we are sorry for the delay and the update is coming this summer
2) No sorry there is no ETA on any update for this phone. Not even summer? No.
Their customer service have no idea on what's going on. It's ridiculous quite frankly.
Every single mobile company does this, not just LG.
Lets be thankful that a Gingerbread update is still in the works; they usually just abandon support when a new phone comes out.

True but by the time they release GB, LG will have a better fone out and then will bypass any updates for old fones.
I never understand why mobile manufactures can make new fones faster than update there software?!. I suppose its about trying to sell more units?.
I think we wont see it this year and by the time we do get the update, we will have quad core processes and better os updates to Android than GB... Its not just LG, but ALL of them that are more interested in bringing out new hardware than to fully support what they have out already. One word... MONEY.
In away, thats why I like what is happening to gaming consoles. Its no longer about bringing a new one out every 2 years (like it used to be) and more into software and developing different ideas to bring new life into gaming.
Just wish hardware manufactures were pushing as hard for there software . Thats the real problem now.

Apple is also doing a great job here.
My guess is that only a fraction of all android users cares about the OS kernels and other tweaks, as example. I was helping my Gf to get a new phone. She wanted a red one, with facebook on it. While i was dropping some easy specs like: multitouch, gb, memory, cpu etc. After a minute she replied,Thats sound cool, but DOES IT HAVE facebook... i think shes avarage phoneuser
So to be honest, why pay engineers to make software to people that doesnt care, when they can push phones to the market and actually make some profit.
I like LG.
they released this amazing piece of electronics and they opened up much more then many other brands (SonyEricsson, Samsung). So just becuause of that im running Gingerbread with oc/uv. So stop nagging, its a great phone and with cyanogen, arcee and many other developers, this has become a monster. We dont need LGs sw, android comunity makes it better.

So if your girlfriend - with her limited knowledge of technology - where to buy this phone she should just root it and throw a custom firmware on it? Do you think that is very likely and consumer like her would do that?
You DO NOT need LG's firmware but 90% of all consumers do. And there is no way you can justify LG's action by doing their work. The product as a whole is not working and just because you like to change parts of it does not excuse this fact.
Still a week and a half to go before June ends so hopefully there will not be another delay. I think last time they said it has been delayed by 3-4 weeks. I'll be happy with a bug free stock phone that just works regardless of whether it is FroYo or GB.

90% of all consumers are probably saticfied with their smartphone. The rest of us who arent can easily change it if we wants to (of course we want, becuse we can ). So all i hear is "Gimme some crap i dont want or need...

Even how good LGs firmware is or going to be, i dont want it, just because it stock..

Yes maybe 90% of all consumers are satisfied with THEIR smartphone. Do we need to point out how low LG's market share is in this segment? Do you really think that 90% of Optimus 2x users are satisfied with their phone??
The Optimus 2x freezes without being able to recover without a battery pull. That means every user expecting to receive calls or uses their phone as an alarm will be not be satisfied.
My brother bought this phone (not with my recommondation) and he - like your girlfriend - just expect it to work without going into technical details. He has missed calls and alarms already. It goes without saying that he is NOT satisfied and neither would your GF have been if she had bought this phone. Try and ask if she would be okay with missed calls and alarms.
Are saying this phone is only for the elite of 10% or less who wants to waste their freetime on installing experimental software?
Trentors is absolutely right here, 90% of the LG O2x users are ordinary users who are not satisfied with the current LG stock rom - but they are ordinary users not interested in having to do LG's work and install custom roms with everything this includes.
They have a legitimite demand on LG to provide what LG sold them - a working phone. Not a phone that reboots randomly, freeze randomly, run out of memory randomly, lags in various different situations for various different reasons (all reasons caused by poor programming from LG) - they have a legitimite demand on LG to provide updates to fix this, they have a legitimate demand that it should have been there from the beginning. They are not demanding gingerbread per say because its gingerbread, they are just demanding a properly working stock rom - it just happens that they may look to a gingerbread update as an expected way to get a working stock rom.
Herkuk, you are pissing on all these ordinary users with your statements here - I and the rest of these 90% O2x users dont care how much you want to tinker with custom roms - thats your choise, not ours - we dont care about OC abilities or all the other aspects you feel so much for in custom roms - we just want LG to provide what we paied for - namely a stock rom working the way its supposed to work. Plain and simple.
I do not accept the trend where manufacturers are allowed to release beta products or developer products as final products and then ditch any support in order to release new beta products which also do not work right - just because a group of geeks are happy just to get some new hardware to tinker with.
When I buy any other product I expect it to work - I expect my new car to drive without the wheels falling off or the brakes not working - I expect my new flatscreen TV to be able show a picture everytime I turn it on, not only every other time, and I dont expect it to randomly shutdown or get black screen whenever Im trying to watch a movie.
I dont care if you like LG or not - I dont care for fanboyisme - I demand the same from LG as I demand from any other manufacturer that want to sell me there products. Its not my job (even If I have the abilities) to do LG's work and fix their product.

Yeah. I bet your girlfriend would love my LGP990. Whenever I don't have any reception my phone needs a reboot to be able to recieve calls, or send\recieve text messages.
I actually went back to the store and got a replacement with the exact same problem. Also with different SIM.
This pertains specifically to the recent LG release of ICS (with the NVIDIA accelerated hardware drivers) for the SU660 (Korean version of the Optimus 2X) and the lack of developer interest in porting it to the P990 and P999 versions of the same phone.

They'll be back when the kernel source code is released (don't worry, LG is legally obliged to release it due to the contract terms of using Android).
I doubt the devs can just pick apart the Korean .kdz file to extract binaries - they need the source code. And we know the source code WILL come now, it's just a matter of time.
Hang on man, I'm excited myself. Especially being in North America where we are unlikely to get any OTA update.
hehe, forward your message to LG man ;P

LOL, I think Stefan already announced that this would happen. Although the SU660 and the P990 have the same specs there are slight variations in the partitioning and so on that makes it impossible to just mix-and-match ROMs. Same for just about every phone with regional variations, it's to prevent people from easily debranding phones and removing carrier bloatware. It's nothing that our devs can't overcome... but they need source code first.

Our devs are awesome! Without their hard work, we'd still be stuck on stock gingerbread (or even froyo in some cases)
Keep up the awesome work guys! :good:
Our devs have their hands tied right now because they don't have enough material to work with quite yet... It's not that they "aren't interested" as you say...

I think you should inform yourself a little more.before creating a thread calling for developers.
I don't know of a single dev who has a "lack of interest", most are quite excited. If it would be easily possible to port the SU660 ROM to the P99x one it would already have been done. It is NOT the "same" phone.
And keep in mind that this phone never had a lot of - how to phrase it - "real kick ass developers".
The best thing which could have happened to our phone was arcee, his skills are amazing. Without him the LG 2x custom ROM scene would be nowhere near the current state.

If you have been following the threads about the leak, you would know that they can't do anything at the moment because basically they still need the kernel sources to work (which we still don't have) and in consecuence you wouldn't have posted this (right?).
I'm a developer and I don't really like this kind of stuff. It feels like pressuring them to get working on something, remember they are doing this for fun / self training and for free - so please people let them be. If something new happens they will be the first ones to inform about it.

I'll leave that to you because you know that more than that have sold their Optimus 2X and G2X phones and moved on and others such as RC have "put it on the shelf" and, depending on LG releasing ICS with accessible NVIDIA hardware drivers and whether he thinks it is worthwhile spending his time on it instead of his current and future interests, he may or may not be counted among the developers who "moved on" (hopefully not).

Yes, JB alpha for the O2X was just released but ICS and JB are already available for other, older, phones with less worthy hardware. W're fortunate that, in spite of NVIDIA and LG causing development for the O2X to be somewhat masochistic, there are still some developers working on it. If LG releases a public version of ICS with a locked bootloader for the SU660/P990/P999, there will be even fewer developers. It is interesting to note the lack of developers commenting about my post. I think they understand where I am coming from.

1. The opposite will happen when we get the official ICS release (which will most likely have the locked bootloader, yes). More devs will gain interest as there's finally something to do instead of waiting. The locked bootloader will be annoying but there will be ways around it.
2. The real devs usually don't read xda in general and not the general section in particular. No wondering why...
3. Start learning to develop your own stuff then the 2x will be exactly the way you want it to have. No offense, but this thread leads to nothing.

Good luck.
Hey guys, I'm pretty sure no one has seen me in the G Flex section. I did work for the M8, G3 etc back in the day. I just picked up a G Flex the other day with T-Mobile excited to put Lollipop on it. Came home and searched the threads to see there isn't lollipop for it nor is there any AOSP ROMs for it. I understand the issues behind it but I just wanted to say these issues doesn't prevent ASOP running on our G Flex. There's still possibilities. I came from the ZTE Zmax, and we had 1 dev working on our phone and got CM12.1 up and running with full stability in a month. I read somewhere that LG confirmed that the G Flex will NOT get lollipop because of some issues that was causing it to be buggy. LG basically stalled development on the G Flex until the 18 months that Google gave as an requirement for Software updates was over. The 18 month period for the G Flex ended back in May. So LG basically used that as an excuse to not update our phone, which is very stupid and it sucks but we have developers in this community that are smarter than LG Devs. We don't need a kernel source to build a functional kernel, even though a source would help tremendously. The ZTE Zmax, ZTE Awe ($30 phone), LG Tribue ($40 Phone) are all running CM12.1 with no kernel source and locked Bootloaders. For sensor and Audio issues you could simply TRY and use libs from other devices that compare like the G2. That's what the dev for the ZTE Zmax did. I see development started for lollipop but ended months ago. I also see a couple people working on CM11 and others quietly working on their own CM12 build. I'm not here to criticize, because I know this kind of stuff isn't easy. I'm just simply giving advice on something that may or may not have been tried yet. It's been almost a year since lollipop launched and you would expect a Flagship device to have lollipop or at least an AOSP ROM by now. Android M is being launched in a few months. Let's get this project back up and running and don't stop until its finished! We have plenty of donators including me. If help is needed ask other experienced Devs, CM Devs, even Devs on the Android Forums. This phone has way too much potential to just forget about.
I'm already accepting that we may not get anything and gotten used to a tweaked stock rom. There's a reason cheaper phones have lollipop already, they're going to have larger user bases by default. There is really no reason to pick up a flex even under an upgrade deal when there are plenty of competing phones that already have thriving communities, and I wish I did more research before I got mine. So really it comes down to someone only picking it up to get something different and even hindered.
That said, if some crazy dev does decide to pick the phone I'll be pleasantly surprised but preaching like this forum has been for weeks now isn't going to do anything when we have no devs actively working or even looking at us. I'm really hoping I get proven wrong and I'm definitely ready to throw some money at a reputable dev but seriously now, we don't even have stable cm11 ports and people are hoping for lollipop.

That's the problem, that fact that Lollipop is almost a year old and we don't even have 4.4.4 KitKat. We're about 2 years behind. This is why I said, lets go around and recruit. There are some Devs that don't even need the device in hand to build. They build and use testers. It seems like when there are kernel related issues Devs give up because they have little to no kernel knowledge. There's ways around that. Like I said, the CM11 port may not be stable but its still silently being worked on, just not finished in the timeframe people expect. And I've seen a couple people quietly working on their own CM12 builds. CM12 is already booting, its just in the same condition as CM11, which no one figured out how to fix yet, which is Sound, Bluetooth etc. I believe this device will get Lollipop soon, but only if people are eager and motivated to get the job done.

I have my Huawei Mate 2 with lollipop. It goes for 2 days with heavy use when it had Android 4 so I'll have to see what it will do now. The reason I put it down was because the camera sucked but with the update it seems to work fine. I love the LG form factor with the power and volume buttons and even the gui is cool but I'll try the Mate 2 and see. Mate 2 has a brighter screen, but the lg has wifi calling so lots of pluses and minuses. My fried got the Mate 7. Awesome phone but he was used to the long batter of the Mate 2 so returned it.
You guys MIGHT wanna check out playfulgod's CM11 thread, all the new development from the past month has been going on there. We now have sound working!!!
The d959
Does anyone know if the latest cm11 build with sound and data for the d959 will work? Saw the multiple .zip files but none for 959 in the main thread(cm11)
Read! Reply over there BTW, more likely to get help. And he's gonna build for d959 when data works on lswhateveritscalled. Sound works on all.
I know we've all heard it before. I ditched this phone to basically get lollipop. But after a few weeks I realized what I'd been hearing since launch. I don't hold this screen right up in my face. I don't care about pixels. What I do care about? The awesome size and battery life. Mine never stutters. Forget lollipop. I'm fine with the flex the way she is. I would like to see more development. But if we get it we do and if we don't we don't. I still have an awesome and powerful phone and cm12.1 would run awesome.

This thread is a good initiative...flex forums have been so dead over the months, it pains me to see such a great phone relegated to the grave...here to help..can donate and test
For its time the Flex was a superb phone at a very good price. Plenty of ram, processing power, etc. It even had IR and a big colored led. How being much, much harder to break than a typical phone is anything but great is beyond me. So how the hell did we not get one single rom? I've seen dinky little $40/3.5in throwaway phones get at least one rom. What happened?
I wonder this as well. The flex is still my wife's phone she absolutely loves it. When it's out of its case, people still comment on how beautiful a phone it is.

What happened was LG killed us Flex users by not unlocking the BL.
Also a devicetree couldnt be brought up so it was pretty difficult to get things working.
Bump helped us at least to have a recovery and I used playfulgods CM11 with working data but no sound or calls.
then I used MIUI too for LS996 working data and sound but BT and calls were a no go.
My sister has the phone now and she absolutely loves how fluid it is and that people amaze by its rare curved design.
LG killed this magnificent phone... if someone is to blame its them.
This is a plea for all developers to come help out. I've been knocking on every door that I know, everyone else do the same. Maybe someone will help out.
I actually like this phone more than my oneplus. Just from a durability standpoint. I get more comments on my flex than my one also.
Maybe we should start a "working cm Rom bounty" thread....
I definitely would be in for paying someone for there time.
+1
Willing to contribute to the bounty.
This is a damn good phone

What happened was LG killed us Flex users by not unlocking the BL.
Also a devicetree couldnt be brought up so it was pretty difficult to get things working.
Bump helped us at least to have a recovery and I used playfulgods CM11 with working data but no sound or calls.
then I used MIUI too for LS996 working data and sound but BT and calls were a no go.
My sister has the phone now and she absolutely loves how fluid it is and that people amaze by its rare curved design.
LG killed this magnificent phone... if someone is to blame its them.

Yup...LG's attitude towards the G Flex is why I left a rather scathing Facebook post promising NEVER to buy anything other than a Nexus phone.
Well actually I got GFlex2 and its an amazing phone. But it seems its going the same route as gflex1 cuz of the bl locked and no custom recovery/roms. But the thing is a beast, its a trully amazing fone.
I hope this one gets better stuff. At least a cm or aosp.

I believe some of the Nexus phones are actually made by LG. :|
One of the new Nexus 2015s is made by LG. The G4 Pro also looks pretty good hardware-wise, but if you can't unlock the damn bootloader then they're definitely out of the game.
There was alot of good devs that worked on this. There is a device tree hanging around. Thing to do is yell at LG for not rls the source nor unlocking the bootlaoder. Im sure playful,justin or dfuse would be glad to help if anyone started a promising project. We where testing behind close doors for awhile but bootloader and drivers was the main issue

I'm new, really new ...... But... What does it take to unlock the boot loader? If not a break in the software, time then? After a device ages, will LG release source and such?
Behind close doors? Does that mean someone is still working on CM for this but just not updating on XDA? Or doesn't want to update here?
Thanks for posting.
No one is working on it as far as I know bump did a awesome job. But honestly every remarkable dev has tried. No disrepect to them or me lol. But the phone was forgot

I slightly felt like throwing my flex at some LG executives after I read that.

What's in it for LG by not unlocking the bootloader? If that's what people want, why not give it to 'em?

It isn't even from LG. The source of the info is super sketchy and I have high doubts we will see 6.0 as well. LG2/flex are kinda EOL now. In fact with the flex 2 being shoveled onto boost as well as being given away for new sprint plans, I wouldn't be surprised is Android 6 didn't happen.
I in if there a bounty for cm12, please inform me if it will be started.

There is a bounty hanging around.
You're a power user. Can the LG V10 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the LG V10. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think when (or if) the Verizon version gets root and an unlocked bootloader, I'm pretty confident development would pick up quickly. But until then, I think it's sadly going to be a big ZZZZZ for us.
I have T Mobile and before this I had the G4, so root being accomplished so quickly on the V10 was a great thing and there is TWRP so development is ready. I'm hoping there's are some motivated Devs ready to take this to the next level with the secondary screen applications are endless and the possibilities of clever and innovative ways to use it really excite me, I hope there are others as pumped as well. I really see a lot of potential in this device.
I think this remains to be seen. But given the way AT&T has blocked a lot of dev work (Came from a Note 3), I can only pray there is less of a roadblock on this handset
For the T-mobile it seems like Development is picking up (read the CM12.1 thread! Exciting!)
LG V10
I know it has been more than a week since the phone is out and i already see bootloader unlocked with root capability for t-mobile variants(which is what i have) so i foresee a lot of possibility out there for other developers to jump in. Hopefully we will get to choose between other ROMs as we currently have blackhole ROM only being actively worked on.

Im afraid i will have to agree...im on vzw with a new V10. I havent activated yet because of no root...maybe i shouldnt hold my breath

Is there a video that shows how to root the T-Mobile version
LG usually has pretty bad development support compared to say Samsung, htc. It's one of the reasons why i haven't bought it yet.
I absolutely hate lg ui far too cartoonish and sluggish but if it had cm12.1 or stock android it would be one of my favourite for sure.
IMHO YMMV LG hardly needs development. Most people that I know with LG devices really enjoy rooted debloated stock. Its not like other devices Ive had that you just need something baked into the rom. At most I notice customising via xposed. And even those with locked bootloaders and no root find a way to debloat and customise their phones. Gone really are the days of needing to wait for a dev to cook or bake in something and end user cant just do themselves. At least for me its been my experience with the latest Tmobile LG devices. As long as the os and ui are snappy..
I personally can't wait till we get cm12 or 13 it will make this phone fly... I mean a guy made cm 12.1 happen on my gear s so I don't see why it would not happen on v10
BeameD From My LG V10... The one with the ALWAYS ON SCREEN... Watching me.. ?
So there is no bootloader Unlock for the normal International Version of the LG v10?
A little weak at the time ...
I blame LG for letting Verizon lock up the bootloader like Fort Knox ... didn't anyone with marketing knowledge realize that it's the Hackers happiness with a phone that helps promote how friendly it is, promotes Apps for the phone and ends up selling more base phones that never get modded or rooted.
I hope this all changes soon - as much as I like this phone, it can only get better with more attention by those who can tweak, mod and root them.
Development is weak for this device. We need more support. I think the 808 shouldn't be too hard to develop for, but I'm not a Chef
Worst Development ever !!

Nope...LG Revolution had the worst development ever.

Definitely lacking. But the experience of the phone is solid so it lessens the need. However the marshmallow wait is too long (not devs fault of course). that coupled with the unparalleled dev on Nexus's has me contemplating a 6p ..
