It's beyond me why manufacturers go through so much work to customize the UI, when most users would actually be happier with a vanilla version of android. LG's implementation on Optimus 2X is a great example of third-party developers managing to cripple the speed of a otherwise amazing piece of hardware (launcher pro fixes most of this, but still)
It seems, however, that the G2X will be coming with a vanilla 2.2 - does anyone here know if this will be installable on the ordinary LG Optimus 2X (without 4G)?
Isn't the G2X just the LG 2x just rebranded for another carrier?

Not really. The hardware is the same (or at least as simmilar as the su660) but the G2X comes with vanilla android not the LG skin thing we have on the p990.
Well the LG 2x is about as Vanilla as you can go, when it comes to phones with a "measure" of maker branding. So its not like the 2x is THAT far away from a vanilla experience as I understand it.
Can anyone confirm the kernel number for this phone? thanks
2.6.39.4
it's very strange, why LG doesn't use 3.x kernel...
maybe someone should mail to them, will they give a update with new kernel soon or something
@edit oh, i found this in HOX thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728723
seems like we'll have a 3.1 kernel in 4.0.4 update, hope that LG will do this too

no one confirmed whether we will get 3.1, but lg and my hox uses the same hardware, so you lg guys might get it soon if lg decides to ota

Lg modified their kernel which is probably why they're still on 2.x

The 4XHD can record phonecalls so it definitly has a 'modified' kernel. In this case it's modified by LG themselves to provide for this and maybe other functionality that we aren't even aware off. LG has to patch the new kernel with the same functionality as the 2.x.x kernel first before releasing it to the general public.
Which is probably a reason not to have the latest 3.x-kernel.
Just try it. Call someone, while still in the call go to the apps-menu, start voicerecorder and it'll start recording the call (with a 10 sec beep). The HTC One X can't do this, nor can the xperia U nor can the galaxy S III nor the Galaxy mini (which i tried too this afternoon). Most phones can't even operate the voicerecorder while in a call.
This alone is a unique feature which LG should advertise as a major selling point. I can't understand why they don't.
Nonetheless, I hope the call recording tip is of use.

I tried call recording... didn't work. There was a small pop up that said "cannot record during calls“ :/
Running on v10a
Hello dears,
I write here for the first time in LG 4X forum and I don't want people those who already bought this device to misunderstand me please
the device is really equipped with the latest and fastest hardware at factories,
But..
LG as company is not new, it was (Gold Star) company and replaced the complete ID of the cheap company with Gold Star with LG as new brand.
and the new department decides to get the latest in the market and hit it with the newest electronic weapons as your 4X
I got a past trying with LG devices, with P990 and P999 (G2X) it was really perfect as hardware but as software, it is still with GB v2.3.5 as the final stock ROM from LG, start from v2.2
I don't why LG can't support her devices to the latest software at google android !!!
So the point that I want to reach here is:
Don't expect LG to support your device to the latest ROMs of android, it will stop at 4.1.1 or 4.2 and stop there then you will see the support from MIUI or CM team, but not LG and will face ton's of change log's and (what working) (what is not)
LG is good for short month's of usage but not for long time.
Hope LG support department read this thread and try to support the software teams in the future.
hope you got what I means
Regards

You are very optimistic thinking that reached 4.1 1

I disagree. It looks to me that LG won't even update our 4x to jelly bean.
Lg are bunch of noobs.
To lg - if you are planning to fight with the likes of Samsung/HTC - offer same type of service. Like Unlock tool for the bootloader. Or unlocked boot loader from factory. At least that way we can make our own way into future updates...
I hate myself for buying a lg! Wasn't even aware of locked boot loader. Next time I will sniff around1000 times before deciding to buy a lg.
How many updates to the firmware has there been since the phone was released? And where are the fix lists?

there are 10a to 10f firmware and i think the update only to solve the problem and i think there will be no update because they think they do a good job...... if they reliaze it!!

Fixes are fine by my book, ICS is already a very good platform to use. Sure, JB brings more improvements but it is game changing compared to GB to ICS.
Can you show me the fix list? I've searched a lot on google but no one seems to have it..
Perhaps we can hope that lg will upgrade the 4x hd directly to Key Lime, if the rumors about a sonn-to-come Optimus Nexus are true...

1. LG Optimus Nexus is not a rumor, but true
2. Yeah, maybe they're working about something (i'm f*ckin optimistic)
Although, LG's software support is crap, i'd still choose their Hardware over HTC's. And, just being chose by Google as the manufacturer for their new flagship device...LG will hopefully get more love by devs. The Optimus 4x HD is a true beast, it's a shame that LG won't unleash its true capabilities. I've been contemplating in whether to get an O4x HD (price is soooo cheap) or just wait for the LG Nexus G (which is most likely what im guna do). Either way, my next phone will be an LG. For some reason, i've becomed very bored with Samsungs, especially with my S3.
LG is going to make a conference on 24-25 oct, hope we'll get some infos about updates

LG need to much time, they will update.
Korean OEM's work on updating its lineup to Android 4.4. According to our tipster, many of LG's devices will be going straight to Android 4.4, skipping right over Android 4.2 and Android 4.3 in most cases. Among the models cited by our source are the LG Optimus F3, LG Optimus F6, LG G Pad 8.3 (including Verizon model), LG G Pro Lite, LG Optimus F7, LG-D315 (unannounced), LG LS740 (rumored to be the successor to the LG Optimus F3), LG Optimus L9 II, LG Optimus Vu II, LG Vu III, and the curvy LG G Flex.
If this information pans out, LG has really been working hard, bringing all of these models to Android 4.4. Our tipster made it clear that LG is not bothering with Android 4.3 for any of its devices. He also wanted to point out that the LG Optimus 4X HD will be sticking at Android 4.1.2. That is a model that is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor.

Commenting brings the existing thread back up to the top and anyone who cares can then read your wonderfully incisive post. Those of us who don't want to read any more about Give us 4.4 NOW" don't get notified of a new thread and don't end up wasting our time opening it.

Actually, we kinda do
Well, not the ROM/system itself, but its blobs
The older blobs get, the harder it is to get newer Android versions working, as the old blobs lack some functions or are having some other integration problems.
We already are lucky having 4.4 running on our device, but I can, and will, not guarantee that we will be able to have Android 5 running as a daily driver. However, we are very lucky that grouper and the x3 are that similar, so we can use grouper blobs. So all we can do is to hope for grouper to be officially supported as long as possible
Hello, I was wondering about getting a dual speaker mod on my us998 V30+ running DerpFest Q (android 10). I tried this thinking it might work but it doesn't do anything unfortunately. I dont have any other sound mods installed. Can provide my mixer_paths_tavil.xml if needed. If anyone has some tips or a mod or something that I can try, id appreciate it.
@Mrxyzl did you maybe post the updated unknown mod on xda too
Can someone with access to Android 10 on LG V30 please try Desktop Mode, as it seems to be available in Android 10: https://m.twitch.tv/videos/539056427
This would be so cool! I am currently enjoying something similar (in terms of using the phone on a large screen keyboard mouse etc) with HP Elite X3, but the apps are limited for Windows mobile, so I would rather use the dock which came with HP for my LG V30...
Sorry, I got carried away, maybe I should start a new thread on this topic...
