[Q] now the gingerbread is out whats next?

ok guys just what we been waiting for gb....
to bad it doesn't have more stuff i was really hoping for power control on the notification...
and i have a few questions..
can i root with superoneclick or easy root with mac?
now the gb is out i know the devs are gonna get to work on it.

for those that updated have you notice there is no camera app?????

there is a camera app, just that it's stock rather than lg's.

no really the stock camera app is missing its not there. i did a factory reset and still is not there.. would have to use another app from the market

that's weird. it's there for me. i did a hard reset after i flashed...

ok well i was thinking about that but like i cant root after the update i didnt wanted to lose all my apps from titanium backup lol

Aw man we don't have that cool animation when you lock the phone

The CRT screen on/off effect? Probably can enable it like we did pre-CM7 building it in.

Whats next? Lots of whining until Ice Cream is released.
I really hope GB and new drivers fix the issues people are having.

I'm stoked for this. Now our custom ROMs can be optimized using proper drivers and what not. This should help development a **** ton.

This is not the final GB release, not even close.

It's the same Kernel as the Froyo Kernel, can't be the final release, if it is I'm done with my G2X and will be moving to the Sensation. This release doesn't even have the LG camera how can it be the final build?

Its an update isn't that what everyone wanted, now we know that were making progress, that LG hasn't completely abandoned us, and now all custom roms are gonna be that much better, this is a great day for all g2x users everywhere, and it has only just begun.

You guys don't read much do you. Some joe blow says that gb is out and you all download something without knowing that this is a TEST ROM? Funny...

And who posted this showing the same exact rom you guys think is the official update. Its no more official than the last leaked rom.

I don't really care about the GB update. I already have that running the CM nightlies. I want a stable and working phone. One I can depend on to make calls day in and day out. One that gets the same battery life day in and day out. I want the LG drivers to make everything function properly. Mad props to the CM guys for doing what LG has failed to do so far, but now it is time for LG to deliver a REAL working, bug free update so we can experience the phone we are supposed to have.

I couldn't find it either! If you copy "Instagram" from the thread title, it won't show up in the market:

Stranger still, If you copied the word Instagram from the actual Play App page, it doesn't show up in the Play App.

okay ya weird I clicked on it before I copied it into the Original Post, and it worked took me to the application... I copied the link and shared to my facebook and after clicking on the link from my wall... It worked we will see if it works after I post it here?

Works fine on EaglesBlood ICS AOSP V1.

Guys im getting my g2x engraved!

hello fellow g2x users,
so my girlfriend just got a job at an engraving place, and im going to get the metal strip down the center engraved on tuesday! im thinking of putting my xda username and xda.com as well.
thoughts?

Hey, if that's what you want, go for it!
Sounds cool. Plus if you don't like it you can always buy another back.

That's pretty cool. I would love to do something like that.

Did I accidentally end up with a developer device?

I just purchased a Galaxy S3 cash from a local guy. Firstly once i removed the stock screen protector I found that the phone had the following inscription just beside the samsung logo to the left side D2-34** other characters there....
It activated with verizon as a "4G test device"
Anyone have any ideas here?

Can you please post the "About Device" information for us?

Doesn't appear to be anything special and samsungs only suggestion was to send it in. With its markings they would not guarantee its return.
Verizon won't update its status and I seriously doubt it would be covered by assurion.

Not much we can tell you since we would have needed your previous information before flashing the Rom.

I think that it was flashed prior to your purchase based on the name of the build number... try flashing a stock rom to see if it changes or ask for a refund from the guy you bought it from

Edit....
Restoring my stock image now perhaps that will shed some light on the subject....

Stock
These are the details from the stock rom as it was received. To this point the only thing I had done was gain root access.

I spoke to the guy that sold me the phone. He has filed a request with verizon wireless to get the MEID updated in the system to show the proper device. He is a verizon rep so hopefully they will get this pushed through.

I have a friend who works for HTC and I've gotten quite a few dev phones from him. I was in the same boat once and Verizon corrected the meid number with no issue. It does take 2-3 business days though.
The problem is that the phone goes right to HTC, in my case, and not too Verizon. The phone is never tagged in their system so that's why they have too add it.

Sounds like this was a phone they had in a Verizon store that had the smart phone dummies instead of real phones. I think sometimes those stores get a complementary model for people to use when they want to see the real thing... maybe this could be it?

This is due to the visual voicemail app not being compatible with KK.

Your visual voice-mail isn't activating properly. That should only happen once during a reboot.

Um. As far add I know visual voicemail is compatible with KK. I mean, it's in the stock KK ROM and works fine.

Just because you have something compatible, it doesn't mean it's optimal....

Umm. Okay. Just running the stock ROM here. Nothing special- not even root. Just saying that it is likely not a compatibility issue with KitKat.

I don't think that means a whole lot. You link a thread from another forum for another phone. I don't know what ROM OP is running, but I would say that would be more significant than saying it's incompatible with KitKat. Because saying that is just untrue. Maybe it's just not compatible with AOSP based ROMs. And that wouldn't surprise me since its built for the stock ROM.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

I'm only linking the op, since this gives the exact example that the op sees. Do you have a suggestion for the op, and perhaps a reason for his phone's behavior?

No, I don't. I have just been saying that blaming it on incompatibility with KitKat is misinformation.

I'm not sure why you think that if an issue does not apply directly to you, that the issue does not apply to others..
Unless you have information stating otherwise, I find your opinion to be non-informational. But, of course, everyone has their opinions. Definitely let me know if you have any real information on this, though. I can't install that apk since there is no root option for TMO G2 yet. Obviously this works fine on my Nexus 5.
Posting from my LG G2 while driving an Evo IX.

The only real information I have on this is that the app in question works fine on KitKat. Why is that so hard to understand?
I've said what I came here to say - clearly - and at least 3 times. I will not say it again. I'm done here.

If you open the visual voicemail app, both on initial launch and I believe the play store, they specifically state it's related to KK. The VV service isn't properly activating.
