Is there anyone interested in porting Roms or creating new roms for the LG Ally? There was a large boom of interest when it first came out. I am interested in any port of a rom for 2.2 or 2.3. I've heard a lot about CM7 and I was wondering if it was possible for it to be built on the Ally. I'm not really a developer but I am willing to test! Thank you

Velocity V1.0 rom or V1.1 ROM is froyo (2.2.1 i think).
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom, but they velocity guys have been pretty active the past 6 months, so i expect they're already looking at it.
cyanogen has not been working on a port for the ally.
The new Velocity and Stormdroid are both 2.2.2, so you can use those. As for 2.3, like he said, CM7 doesn't work on the Ally and most likely never will because of the radio. Sad, but true.

Hey all,
Seeing that Sense 3.0 got ported to the Incredible got me thinking... what happened to the Sense port for Galaxy S?
(I'm not a dev, just wondering/spiking community interest)
Not going to happen. Or at least I doubt it. It would be cool. I'm running it on my inspire and would love it on my captivate

Why would you want to?
IMHO, it goes like this:
CyanogenMod > Stock Android > TouchWiz > Sense > Moto/Sony/Etc
I'm not counting launchers here, because that's such a simple thing to change, but as far as all the other customizations go, that's how I see it.
CM7 is already being worked on quite fervently, and new Samsung versions keep rolling out, why spend all the time and effort to get one specific version working?
Developers probably realized it was easier to just buy an HTC device with their working GPS and lag-free file system. lol
Hello everybody
People here are hoping that our XDA developers would magically port ICS as soon as Google delivers the AOSP.
I heard that LG is still sticking with Froyo for Optimus 2x.
Only for T-Mobile they released Gingerbread update.
I heard that it was too using Froyo kernel.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I think LG reluctance in not updating the 2x models with optimal versions is because of nvidia.
I think nvidia didn't yet given the drivers for gingerbread kernel to LG.
That is why LG didn't update Optimus 2x to Gingerbread and G2X to gingerbread kernel.
In this case I don't think nvidia would port drivers for this mobile phone to ICS at any day.
In that case, how XDA developers can use newer kernel for ICS port (even if it happens) than Froyo?

Not true. Gingerbread is out and can be downloaded in theO2X forums. Also LG has announced ICS is coming to the 2X and its other high end smartphones.
Is it possible to get Honeycomb or ICS on my USCC Samsung Mesmerize SCH-i500, rooted or not, yet or at all ever or are those only for tablets?
I thought I read an article about 4.0 being ported to smartphone & a way to install it from the SDcard but an emergency came up, my history auto deletes on closing & I haven't been able to find it again
honeymoon is strictly for tablets. ics however has a working port for the fascinate/mesmerize. i haven't tried it, im kind wAiting on one ported specifically for the mez. look on rootzwiki
USCC tech svcs is no big hurry to get ICS to our handsets. They are currently working with Motorola and Samsung to have them develop a new handset with ICS already. As far as an OS Upgrade... Not likely anytime soon.
Ok, thx to both of u for the replies

Hey i did flast the ics for fascinate on my mez and it worked great. I dont think there is any way to tell if uscc will ever port it to the mesmerize but there is a buttload of mez users with the fascinate port of ics on thier phones it really quite awesome

Rumor has it that USCC will be getting the CDMA Galaxy Nexus in Q1 2012... if that happens then thats no doubt where my upgrade will go.

Hey guys, I might be hopping over to the $29 monthly WIND Mobile plan pretty soon, so I'm looking at the handsets they have and I pretty much narrowed it down to the G2X and the Nexus S. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 which is really similar to the Nexus S in terms of hardware, so I'm hoping that you folks could shed some light on some of the questions I have about WIND and the G2X
1. How are the custom ROMS for the G2X? I love being able to flash custom ROMS like MIUI and CM7, so I'm wondering if there are custom ROMS out there for the G2X that provides full functionality (ie. smooth video recording, etc)?
2. On my GT-I9000, 512 MB of RAM on 2.3.x Gingerbread seems to hinder the home screen smoothness and performance unless tweaks (scripts, LMK kernels, etc) are applied and even then, it's not always 100% smooth. Does the G2X suffer from the same issue?
3. Some of most impressive specs on paper for the G2X are the camera and the dual core processor, do they live up to the initial hype?
4. If anyone's has/had a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (and used the custom ROM or stock ROM with lag fix), how does the G2X compare with the SGS?
5. Are there any phone-specific precautions I should keep in mind when rooting/flashing this phone (eg. bootloader locks, etc)?
I'd appreciate any advice/input from owners of the G2X, thanks!
To answer some of your questions..
1. Eaglesblood,latest cm7 nightlies using faux latest cm ds kernel are BOSS! I am using latest 2.3.7 eaglesblood rom and everything just works perfect! I have tried miui roms and they are great also(thanks whitehawx for all the ports)
2. Compared to the i9000 the g2x smokes it even tho it has the same ammount of ram, let me just say this... i have 600+ apps/games and dont experience any lag whatsoever! No scripts needed!
3. Yes!
5. Just make sure you install lg drivers/ apx drivers first, install CWM thru tgagunmans excellent nvflash guide(never thru rom manager since it's a fake flash) Then just flash a rooted rom thru recovery, or you can also oneclick root. G2x doesnt have a bootloader like htc devices(wish it did tho because it would make flashing radio/baseband soo much easier compared to using lg's crappy software/kdz method).
Also..
Since the nexus s already has ICS it might also be an attractive option but since it seems your wanting input on g2x, once cm9 is publicly released for our phones it will be an even more amazing device since it is the OS our G2x's should have started with from the beginning(hw acceleration,multicore support, improved ui,etc)

The camera software was changed in Gingerbread. There are a few options gone from the Froyo LG Cam. Also added more compression to the pics taken. Not as sharp and clear.
Wait until ICS is available fo the G2X then decide. If it's the G2X, buy a 2nd hand one, they,re a lot cheaper.
I love the phone but to be honest, the camera sucks ever since LG removed the new camera and the modded ones don't work the same. Not a problem for me though, I don't use it.

Thanks for the input guys,
Is the stock firmware from LG really as bad as everyone says it is?

It wasn't too bad on Wind mobile. But it's a lot more enjoyable once I rooted and upgraded to Gingerbread on EaglesBlood rom.
I have a G2X running kangs' eaglesblood v1.1. I love it! I am a new apparently though cause I can't post in the developer part to ask a question until I have 10 posts under my belt :s lol So I thought I'd hear some custom rigs running out there to ease my boredom lol
