Like the all others lg phones
Personally I think it just looks too much like the Galaxy S interface which we already have Whitehawk's Weapons G2X ROM. I wouldn't care too much for the LG UI.
Because the LG UI sucks big eggs. I have tried it on demo phones here in Thailand and it is a bad copy of the Samsung UI, which I also hate. You want to add the 100 or so craplications that are on the 2X stock ROM also?
No one is porting it because frankly no one is porting or doing much of anything for this phone (besides the few WONDERFUL dev's we actually do have).
I see that there is a new LG phone on tmobile, and it runs LG touchwiz. Ive always wanted to get the good old LG touchwiz running full speed on my G2x but never seen a rom. What do you guys think???
There are so many things wrong with this... besides the fact the development forum is not a request board...
First. The MyTouch Q is not even similar in the least to the G2X... different arhitecture. If we wanted something similar with LG Framework, that would be the Optimus 2x.
Second. It isn't LG Touchwiz. No such thing exists.

they both use touchwiz
MTQ uses a Snapdragon while this is Tegra, so it's completely different and won't work. Plus, it's just an LG skinned ROM. Not TouchWiz at all. If you compare actual TouchWiz with LG's MTQ ROM you'll see they're completely different.
Samsung is the one to invent touchwiz on their galaxy series. LG UI is what you are refering too, and as someone said, the best chance we have at getting it is through Optimus 2x on AT&T/Rogers/Fido

JBOXER was trying to get the LG UI from the optimus 2x gb ota and everything worked fine other than we couldnt get any cellular signal even though we did have our original baseband. he and others had tried to get this pass but with no luck at all. it does looks beautiful on our g2x i really hope the devs can get pass this issue.

That's more progress than I was able to make porting a P999 gb rom.... I never got past bootloops. Maybe if I could get that far I would be able to get it working... Has to be possible.
http://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mo...40-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade/316431148368212
looks like the Opitmus 2X and other high end smart phones. So we will see it, one way or another.
We will know more some time in December.
I hope LG releases it for us but they never say g2x

In some markets, like Canada (Wind) the P999 is named the Optimus 2x. I think we will be fine.

I dunno, it's mighty conspicuous they did not say G2X....
Specifically, on Facebook it says:
"We are initially announcing LG Optimus smartphones that will have Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade!"
Then on the actual article it says:
"Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE."
That CLEARLY leaves out the G2X.
They are only focusing on the O2x because they originally said it wasn't getting ICS because it was out "before" the Google Update Contract. It was all over the web and now LG publically announced it was a rumor and said they are working on it.
We'll get it eventually. The G2x isn't that old yet. It technically should have been launched with GB. The GB update was promised Day 1 as "GB isn't finished yet, so we'll just launch it with Froyo to make everyone happy". GB update = doesn't count.
So there is no reason why 6 month old phone won't get updated. Probably won't be speedy though.
@above: Optimus 2x = G2x
Same line of hardware. Tmobile has to officially release the update for us... so it won't be announced via LG.

Had the same theory with the Samsung Vibrant. Galaxy S phone, right? So when Galaxy S phones worldwide got Gingerbread, the Vibrant should, too, right? Nope, it was different due to T-Mobile radio and T-Mobile didn't care to push an update. So every Vibrant user is still rocking Froyo while the rest of the Galaxy S world is running official Gingerbread. And don't say Cyanogenmod - support was so bad thanks to lack of closed driver support that CM9 is dropping support for the Vibrant completely, and CM7 never ran right on it.

That's not completely clear. As I recall, the Gingerbread update was originally directly from LG via their updater, and the OTA from T-Mobile followed that.
I am so tired of saying this, but here I go again. The G2X is an Optimus 2X device. To LG it is a 2X. The Optimus 2X line includes the P990, SU660 and the P999. The G2X badging was only for T-Mobile to continue their line of "G" high-end Android devices (i.e., G1, G2, G2X). It was easy for them and LG to just add a "G" to the front of the 2X name. That is why the P999 in Canada is a 2X. Only T-Mobile is allowed to use the G2X name. It is a proprietary name for T-Mobile only. It will get ICS so stop fretting about it already.

I guess I just get so nervous because I had the same story with the Vibrant... I hope you're right.
Anyway, I did get a response on LG's facebook that I made a few days ago. Not much info there.

Hey LG, since the P990 gingerbread update included the proper LG Camera, is there any way maybe just maybe you guys could push out a fixed LG Camera (NOT AOSP) for the P999 G2X? Many of us bought the phone for the great camera software which you took away with the Gingerbread update!

It ran smooth, but GPS was flaky (you couldn't turn it off, or it wouldn't turn back on until you rebooted) and the battery life was pathetic compared to stock.

Agreed but this obviously isn't Samsung. We've already had an update and have NO reason to suggest we won't be getting more updates.
NVidia and LG have closed drivers but that doesn't stop development. Everyone labels LG as being a bad manufacture based on bad experiences with Samsung.
While I would like more "openness" around the device as a whole, I do ultimately blame NVidia. Even on Desktop Linux boxes, NVidia is hush hush.
IMO, looking at LG or any other manufacture, it doesn't really pay-off to release source code within the first year. You have to think that manufactures have to warranty the devices for a year and people boinking their hardware over some poorly self-compiled driver only costs them money.
I predict we'll get an official ICS upgrade and be shut down. The question is if we'll get a new kernel or if they still pimp that Froyo version!

ICS cannot run on the old kernel. It will have to be a new kernel, and more than likely, a new baseband also (as Qualcomm is continually updating the baseband code to finetune it, so there is no reason for LG not to improve the device with a baseband update also).
I've long figured that while there was a small chance LG wouldn't release ICS for the G2x there was a much bigger chance they would.
Here's my logic: The launch of the phone was a disaster from a PR perspective and left a lot of people considering other manufacturers for their next phone. As a result LG has a lot of ground to make up in terms of consumer trust. In terms of repairing their reputation releasing ICS for the G2x would go a long way to rebuilding the trust they lost. As long as LG's beancounters determine that the money put into developing ICS for the G2x is worth it LG will do it.

Why do people on this board whine about this phone so much? There was nothing wrong with the Gingerbread build. It is a very stable and fast stock Android build. If you don't like it install one of the custom roms based on it or CM7.

1. There is a difference between whining and making a statement
2. Check the sig. 2 steps ahead of you
Hi every1 first of all i want to say that 2 months ago i sold mine galaxy S I9000 and i had an option: Galaxy S2 or LG P920 unfortunatly i got LG and now everyday i'm *****ing and crying like a little sissy because there's no roms for that bull**** phone.
My girlfriend still has SGS and there is plenty ICS version for my phone nothing not even one.Everyday i'm checking LG P920 section and every morning i got mad because of it. Now i'm stuck with LG because i can't afford to buy SGS 2 .God damn
i don't know what to do with this .I like the size of the phone and omap inside but i have to sell it and go back to SGS.I wrote this thread just to let every1 know how LG f..k me up , i hate LG and this 3D bull**** , so have a good day to every1
lets go spamming lg facebooks and mails
couple week ago I have the same shoes as you, confuse between sgs2 and o3d.
before I choose I try the two of them.
and I know, my heart tell me that I love this 3D bullsh*t thing.
I need something more multimedia ++ haha...
I thing beside the 3D TV, device that suitable for 3D is on smartphone, yes.. just like our O3D...
btw,of course I'm not pleased with LG about the slow update.
but you know in this forum there is a lot of great developer that help me extend to remain patient..
Most of the devs said that when ics comes out they will start deving like mad but as i see it by the time lg release it our phones will become outdated. Then all the work will go into the newer 3d max and etc shame this phone was really good. But just the lack of development from lg killed it..

Yes, you are really crying like a sissy, and I don´t understand why you blame LG for this.
LG has A LOT of problems they can be blamed about, and the delay for ICS is definately a shame for LG, but otherwise, you can´t blame LG for "no ROMs". If you say the phone is ****ty because you can´t find "lots of custom ROMs" for it? Then you should blame XDA developers (or lack of), right?
I already said this in another thread: if your hobby is to flash a new ****ty and half-working ROM every morning, very well, go look for this elsewhere, the O3D is not the phone for you, really. But please remember that while we have just a few ROMs here, most of them are stable and usable, and this IS NOT the case of many other phone models, which have many ROMs available, but most of them experimental and completely broken.
If you guys really want to blame and spam someone, let´s join forces and spam arcee, not LG, because he´s the responsible for LG in CM, and if you check his G+ page, he did a dirty half-done job for the O3D and moved on for other LG phones. It´s clear he´s looking into QUANTITY (many ported phones) and not QUALITY. And the O3D DESERVES the best from arcee, we are talking about the flagship of the manufacturer he´s dedicated to in the CM project.

That is just ridiculous the O3D was the first CM9 rom arcee created on any LG device for reasons only he knows he has chosen not to release.
I suspect this is due to the usual b*ll**** he received on development of CM7. People requesting 3D compatibility which arcee stated from the very outset that this was never likely to work unless LG released their real 3D framework. A problem he does not face with other LG devices.
Can't blame him for releasing CM9 on other LG devices I ask you 1 question could you do what arcee does?
I blame myself for not doing my research on lg's reputation. I have and will hate HTC and Motorola.. never had a Samsung device I didn't like. Should have stuck to my guns but the hardware and dual channel ram tempted me too much.... my bad really...
PS. I flashed 20c kdz and installed thiaz 2.5 stock rom and I love my phone again. Highly recommended!!!
That's all I got to say bout that...
I flashed V20c and all was going well till today when my friends and family rang me all day and my phone did nothing and then when i finally called everyone said i was ignoring them...
I guess i need to buy the samsung galaxy s or the nexsus s out right and then use my sim i can't take this anymore and no i do not want to go to ****ty froyo baseband it sucks...
I'm in the same boat as Trekfan here. Try ThiaiZ's rom, he just released 2.6. use his kernel update as well. I also applied a ICS theme that doesnt' just give me icons, but dialer, texting, and everything on my phone to look like ICS (everything but the real deal). I have also deleted every useless application off my phone, and i now have upwards of 250mb free ram during regular use. phone is much faster, smoother, stable and not missed a call once.
i know there isn't as much development and action as the S2, but then again, the 3d didn't sell over 20 million units... we're not completely left in the dark. thanks ThiaiZ!

I think you're wrong mate. Perhaps there is no such as a ROM for the Galaxy S2, but here each ROM is very stable and reliable .... ALL Optimus 3d developers make excellent and stable ROMs, and excellent kernels, everybody can find what suits him ... ..
I have personally tried all ROMs , and I can say that all great and very very stable
I became a fan of the Thaiz ROMs, Thaiz currently using 2.6 with the ICS theme
I can tell the phone operate and behave perfectly, and that this should be when he left the factory....
Waaah waaah...no roms! Pathetic reason to hate on a manufacturer. LG aren't faultless but they cannot be blamed for the lack of custom roms can they? Maybe you should look a little closer to home - if you wanted a handset you could piss around with all day in that respect you should have tried some old fashioned research before purchasing.
Maybe you should start a "bye bye LG" thread when you exchange back to Samsung just to really let everyone know what you think eh?

With all due respect give me a break please ,check sgs section how many great roms sgs has .All of'em are based on ICS and the phone is much weaker than P920.
I can't figure out why developers don't wanna mess with our phone.We don't even have decent themes ops my bad except one yeah just fu...ing one that's pathetic , i gotta sell that amazing phone and i swear no more LG for me
Everyone can create a theme using UOT, with a couple of clicks.
Then it's just a matter of selecting a theme for your launcher.
It's not LG's fault this phone is expensive and therefore with a much smaller userbase than any other 100€ phone.
Great phone, negligent manufacturer
Before buying it, I already knew that I was going to have loads of problems with updating, LG is not what I call 'reliable'. But I still chose it because its a smartphone with great specs, large screens (IPS, much better than the heated Super AMOLED Plus that did not deliver a great experiences, with yellowish stais and bluish whites, nor Atrix's grayish and dark screen with the pentile martix, my second choice, just staying behind LG's NOVA, which is outstandig), tri -dual technology and 3D, the one that besides HTC's EVO we havent seen before. But the developers surprised me where LG disappointed. Right now I'm on ThiaiZ 2.6, with ICS theme (kept Prada launcher), and removed system apps, like kylereid's suggestion - and using a 20b brazillian baseband used to remove ghost calls problems on thrill, and I've experienced no problems since flashing it. It's perfect - for gingerbread. I am too craving for ICS, and LG did release real3d source code, I guess: developer . lgmobile . com/real3d
ICS update should've been released already, Jelly Bean has already been announced and we'll have official ICS by the end of agust, its too much.
I love the O3D but LG has screwed it up.
well, same history here bros.
-i had the i9000 before, i like it and the communty that support it so much, but it's getting old, so i decided to get something dual-core, bigger and faster.
-bought my girl the SGS2 beforce, we are extremely love it, fast, vivid, light and big big big actively communty, i decided to get me the LG 3D( because of 3D, and we do have SGS2 already), and i must say - this decision is my BIGGEST MISTAKE OF THE YEAR
-the 3D is not as fast as the S2, free ram is too small, cant heavy multitasking on it, battery life is terrible, and of course, GHOST CALLS, my boss, my clients and even my family and my girl started hating me because i didnt answer their calls, when i want to open the camera, it will take 3 seconds or more until the interface appears ect..ect... im too tired and fruscating of it, so i took out the sim and use it as a mp3-player..
-finally i managed to get rid off it, just sold the optimus 3D and bought the moto Atrix 2
huge huge huge differences i must say, there are over 910 MB of RAM here, install all things, open tons of apps but phone still smooth, never go under 150MB free ram (sorry but smooth like iphone 4s, even the animations are very nice) .
while both of the phone have TI 4430 SoC but in the atrix 2 apps open instantly (my op3D opened opera mobile in 2-3 second, but the atrix 2 opens it in 0.5 sec, and never auto close unless i turn off the phone or force-close), camera app opens in about 1 sec ect.......
Im not trolling in this thread, but well, you should avoid LG, and go for other brand (like samsung with the S2, moto with atrix 2, RAZR), LG is good at making TVs but not smartphone..
sorry for my bad english thought.

You guess cause they haven't... It is just the real3d sdk platform that allows devs to create 3d app USING the real 3d framework which is not released as of yet. It is stil proprietary. I querried at lg.opensource and what they said is that they have no immediate plans to release the damn thing. If you think that they DID have immediate plans to release ICS since December and they SAY they will release in summer when they will actually release it in fall if it goes like GB, then you can imagine when and IF they will ever release the real3d framework...

My mistake, so whats left is hoping Ricardo Cerqueira is still working on cm9 and using dual boot with gb in order to still have access to the 3d stuff. LG could at least release the 3d framework since theyre not willing to release ics anytime soon. Not surprinsing though, its not like LG hasn't disappointed its costumers before.
I have gained permission from geti (the maker of the international port of HTC one rom to the s4) as we all know we can run gt i9505 roms on our ATT galaxy s4s unfortunately data doesn't seem to work on our variant and it is confirmed working for the international version I would like to assemble a team of devs to fix the data issue on our device also wifi does not seem to work either most likely this is a kernel issue and as I don't have time to build all on my own id like to extend an offer to all the devs on here to help bring Data Sound and Wifi to our Devices hopefully we can have a working port soon thanks for all the help in advanced

Why are so many people so happy to have an HTC Sense ROM on their Galaxy phones. Why not just buy an HTC phone instead?
Not trying to be a troublemaker. Just kind of wondering.
Are these folks who don't like AOSP & TW but are Samsung hardware lovers, or is there something super-duper special about Sense.

For me, I love the look of sense, but I prefer samsung phones because they are the only one with removable backs, SD card slots, and believe it or not, I love the plastic feel. So yes, I am one of those people. Sense on a s3 or s4 Is awesome. Am not trying to be a trouble maker either. Just answering the question. I mean, maybe it HTC didn't put a 4 megapixel camera on the HTC one, then people wouldn't want sense on their s4.

So what about the camera then?
The code would be written for that special HTC camera and not the more "normal" Samsung camera.
to reply to all of your questions 1 AN HTC sense port gives us just another option for those of us who lack funds to stock up on the latest premium phones every 3 months for instance i was faced with the dilema of HTC 1 vs GS 4 and i picked the s4 for its megapixels and expandable memory but that does not change the fact that HTC sense is a beautiful rendering of the Android operating system the hardware in HTC one is what pushed me towards the s4 but why cant we have both via a port plus no one ever said no to having more roms lol
About this rom in regards to S4 i337 ATT variant
this rom is bootable on our i337's just flash and LOKI which is great camera works via 3d party apps also great TEXTS are received and sent and calls are also received
what isn't working is
SOUND
Data
SD Card
WIFI

Why are so many people so happy to have an HTC Sense ROM on their Galaxy phones. Why not just buy an HTC phone instead?
Not trying to be a troublemaker. Just kind of wondering.
Are these folks who don't like AOSP & TW but are Samsung hardware lovers, or is there something super-duper special about Sense.

Because people have personal preference, desires, likes, etc... And want to do whatever they want with their device? Why are you so happy with the music you listen to that other people may not? Lol. I'd love to see a sense ROM on Samsung devices in the future. It's a complete change in manufactured OS. More variety, more to toy with, more to switch back and forth to and from. IMO, sense 5 is pretty cool and I'd use it before TW for sure. But I'm also satisfied with TW in my Note 3. Not so much on the S4 stock as it lags. In the end it's all preference. I've seen people say that their stock S4 hasn't the tiniest bit if lag while my first, second, third and fourth S4 all lagged equally on every TW ROM.
