[Q] Is our G2X getting Ice Cream Sandwich?

OK...definitely NOT from LG. And even it came I think most folks would it avoid another LG ROM like the plague.
That said, looking for thoughts from Devs and other if they think Ice Cream Sandwich is going to happen for our beloved phone.
I'm hoping at least the Cyanogenmod team can continue working on the G2X when ICS comes outs.
nNidia might be another issue, hopefully that can be overcome?

Whoa, deja vu ...

If it gives back my beloved LG Camera app I'd consider giving it a shot.

If cyanogen gets its hands on it yes! Lg will not put out nothing else for this phone, only thing you got was half baked gingerbread!!

You can have your original camera back using 2.3.3.

I like my gingerbread soft and warm lol.

ICS Advantages??
Just curious - will there be any real benefit to G2x users if IceCream Sandwich is made available by developers? If so, what would some of the main advantages be??
Thanks

LG has announced the 2X and other high end LG smartphones will be getting ICS. Since the G2X is a 2X device (G2X is the name T-Mobile gave to it) I think we have a very good chance of LG dropping ICS for us.

That's promising!

ICE Cream sandwich ??

Is there any conformation that LG Optimus 3d will get the next version of android. If yes then when ?

OMG!!we are waiting for Gingerbread and you're thinking about IC

Some rumors say that the update will be IS and no more gingerbread.. im not sure though

You can make sure that even in unofficially, the ice cream sandwich will exist for o3d. I know it because the omap4430 will be the ooficial chipset for ICS.

at this rate, we get icecream on 2013

absolutely wrong rumors...i'll receive gingerbread beta ROM in mid october.

No way will we get IS from LG because it wont even be on the optimus 3d 2

I am sure that we will get the update because it is the update that will give the full power of the device as ICS will support dual cores fully, so with dual core and dual channel we will get much much better performance. The question is when? Actually LG should know that if they want to success in smartphones market, they should give a good support and they should beat all other companies, sonyericsson learned the lesson from their experience with X10, now they are on the top of companies that give the best support for their devices, I hope that LG learns the lesson and became the first company that rolls out ICS update(Which is not expected ).

Isn't it a bit late for LG too still be on a beta of Gingerbread in October. You would have thought they would be way past that stage by now. It'll take even longer for it to be released now.

It would make a lot more sense for LG just to go straight to Ice Cream Sandwich as they've left Gingerbread so late to be released.
I think it would be very very poor of LG if they don't even bother to release Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Do they want there reputation to go down even more.

I totally agree with that. If they are not able to release the GB this month, it's better to drop everything and start with the IC update.
It's been said that Google will release the update on Q4 which is very close now, so LG' better put themselves together and work harder, otherwise next time I buy a phone it won't be from LG.

Dear Friends,
Lg O3D is very smooth and 3D is really great with stock rom and even faster with custom roms. I am already satisfied with Froyo since i can run almost all the apps but some games related GB and some frontcam based apps. Yes, GB or ICS are really welcome but i can live with Froyo since not so much complains on performance and usage...
Kind regards

Is 3D Optimus able to update to Ice Cream Sandwich in future?

P990 even cannot , message from LG-
Dear , We will not be introducing Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich updates on LG Optimus 2X P990. Keep watching this space for further updates.
---
What a shiiit job for even a dual-core phones they did, LC, damn you!
I Wish you will be kicked away from the phone market.

Seeing how slow is going the GB update, I don't even think about ISC...

First at all we have to find answers for this question:Is 3D Optimus able to update to Gingerbread in future?

Knowing LG I bet they're wasting their time THINKING about if they want to work on a gingerbread OR ICS release. In fact... they're probably not even thinking about their 3D phone in the first place.

I hope cyanogen will release a 4.0 rom.
The platform (TI OMAP4 4430) is very similar to Nexus prime (TI OMAP 4460)

well technically speaking our phone was also released before lg signed anything (they signed in august and o3d was released in july)... but we can hope for the best

Check the page on gsmarena.com
Cannot post the link due to forum spam protection, but there the quote;
Update:LG Mobile posted a reply to the same question in Facebook with the following:
We do have a plan to update Ice Cream Sandwich.Now we are working on it! When the date is set we will let you know through Facebook! Please check our wall regularly! Cheers.
The above post comes a few days after the initial negative response regarding the major OS update. It appears that the consumers' feedback has finally struck a cord within the company.

It is like saying that if they release a pink 2x called ladies phone today then 2x will get it cause it was released later... the thrill is o3d with different carrier firmaware and different radio activated through kernel

We will get Gingerbread 21 november and i think we will get Ics later

I think we get update to ICS.

[LG Official Statements on Ice Cream Sandwich OS Update]
LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true.

Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.

We will get ICS later on who knows when though...

PC Mag says were getting ICS

LG Announced today thru PC Mag that we will be getting I've Cream Sandwich for sure. Probably by the end of November. Good news.

Well I dont want to sound mean but, didnt they promise Optimus 2x gingerbread for a year now? So I will believe them when I see it done! Other than that Great news to look foreword to.
BTW, CM will have it out for us before LG will!

Probably with less problems, too.

Remember Gingerbread when it was released... the Dev Community had it released on all phones before any phone manufacture did.
You forget to think that ICS will go through a few revisions before reaching a stable version that will be ported to other phones.
BTW... link?

probably the end of November 2012...lol :-(

straight from their fb page! So the p999 will definitely be getting this update, which who knows maybe it will be a better experience than 2.3.3

Honestly, if LG reads this thread they'll think we don't even care if they release it or not. Come on guys, I for one love the fact that LG is stepping up to the plate to update the phone for us.
Whether it was due to our complaining, the hate posts on their FB page, our forum, Google pressure, or just the social responsibility of LG, it's acceptable by me.
I'm grateful for it and enthused by it. Anyways, back to the fact, it'll probably take them a while to release it, probably by like next April, but it's still an update.
I take back my post on their facebook page now. They seem like they care after all, even if they are slow, it's not like they've been huge players in the mobile industry as far as I know. So let them gain some momentum here.

Don't worry. LG is not reading this.

who cares?
- If LG does eventually put out an upgrade... it wont be untill Summer if that soon
- It will most likely suck like their GB update did.. ( froyo kernal? cmon )
- Before an official release... you STILL wont have drivers to make the phone function correctly because of NVIDIA
this is why i switched to a SGS2 hercules ....im done with LG and NVIDIA ... G2x had great potential... but i am done and will no longer buy from either company when it comes to phones

It's too bad ATi never made a phone and never will, I would have bought one if they did. Unfortunate thing now is that AMD killed ATi, otherwise it probably could have made a phone that would crush the Tegra 2, just like they do with desktop/laptop GPUs. Anyways, I knew this would happen, apparently I was one of the only people that could spot that the other facebook response from "LG" was a fake :/

You obviously never owned a SGS Vibrant.... still running Froyo 2.2 forevermore. Every company does the "shove it out the door and fuggedaboudit shuffle"...

If it used ATI drivers you'd be better off with NV and froyo kernel.

Why stay Here
I don't understand the people who post they are finished with LG and/or the G2x and has had enough. Trade it in for another phone that they say they are happier with, works better than and all that but stay here in the G2x forum to complain. If their new phones are all that much better why aren't they in their NEW forum helping others and such.

[Q] Any Confirmation on Ice Cream Sandwich?

Any updated news on Ice Cream Sandwich because last I heard LG was unsure whether it would be releasing ICS for LG Optimus 2X. So, is there a confirmation if LG is dropping or will eventually introduce ICS to the G2X.
Also, I heard that you if any device with the Tegra chip got ICS it would make the drivers available so is there any other prospective devices that might be getting ICS that devs can steal drivers from?

There isn;t a release yet, but the Optimus 2x forum is following lg's korean twitter, and it says they are in a beta testing stage. If it gets releases, The CM team and other devs can extract drivers and carry them to the g2x. It'll come sooner or later :fingers-crossed:
