I think it will be considering the great progress some of these guys are making. Besides we will have(most likely) multiple Roms, before LG even thinks about the OTA.
Lol I know even nexus one is running ics, NVIDIA is a joke, the sad part it no one want to buy this phone either.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Depressed about a software update for a phone? Really?
What are you trying to do that can not be done with gingerbread? Maybe someone can help you.

The Nexus One was destined for high end development anyways...But even the freaking HD2 now has ICS. Now thats ridiculous
But yah, ICS really has nothing to be depressed over. Except for the hardware acceleration capability...now CM9 is a whole other thing. But i'm sure CM9 will be available way before LG drops the major update.
I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.

I don't think there will be any official ICS from LG or Tmo considering the g2x is already discontinued.

I have ICS Passion 10.6 on my vibrant and its flawless and super fast. Still hoping I dont throw my g2x against the wall before before it finally gets it.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Before you smash the G2x, flash Phoenixblood rom + Faux latest cm kernel and let us all know how you feel about your G2x then lol
I think just about all of us are anticipating cm9 but i believe i have found the best cm7 experience with 0 flaws imo with PhoenixBlood rom
To me is not really about ics, its about how they treat us (g2x users) if it wasn't for cm7/cerqueira this phone would be nothing, im glad i got a good one but many people got ****ty phones and the only reason they did gb was because of the lawsuit. They don't want to give us a fish (updates) and they sure as hell don't want to teach us how to fish (drivers).
I for sure dont want nothing to do with lg/nvidia, had a chance to get 2 cheap LG tvs for xmas, went with another more expensive brand!

Well lets not be silly here. LG makes some bomb ass TV's and I wouldn't mind owning one at a good price. I just wouldn't buy another phone from them for obvious reasons, but that's completely different than TV's.

It ran fine without any bug and everything working. It sucks because there is no CM Settings menu.....thats where most of the feature that I use daily are located. losing all those features to gain better new looks is pointless.
I like this phone but, because of the lack of support for it, not LG, NVIDIA and Google. Although it's blasphemy stating this on an Android focused website forum, because of the total messup with this phone, except for the devotion of independent developers and others who support/supported this phone, I will not be buying anything with NVIDIA in it, made by LG, and probably not Android. I am going to seriously consider phones which run the new Windows OS and the iPhone 5 when it comes out.

Please go play in traffic.
To explain the negative feedback you've gotten thus far, porting to the Thunderbolt is far more complicated than to the Droid 1. The part of the OS that interacts with the radio is (as of yet) unique to the Thunderbolt and essentially has to be reverse-engineered. Slayher and toastcfh are working on a port of CM7 but it is an extremely difficult project for this reason. It's a whole different ballgame on this phone. Nothing to do with the amount of love for it. If there were no love for it, Slayher would not be working so hard to develop a port of CM7.
Who are you referring to? Verizon or the modding community? Verizon continues to hype their 4G network and the Thunderbolt with it. I'm sure HTC has Android 2.3.4 so we'll see what they do with it. The modding community has been pretty good about building off the most recent AOSP builds, but with the Thunderbolt having the 4G radio it has taken a little longer. Give it time. The OG Droid has been around much longer and more people own it than the Thunderbolt. As people upgrade you'll see more and more development for this phone. Personally I'm very happy with how quickly the Thunderbolt was rooted and how quickly devs started tweaking things.

To many mad nerds on here, i was only asking if were gonna see some software upgrades, **** i was running 2.3 on my OG. But yah i can understand how its hard.
Official updates? Probably not till later this summer and who knows if it will be 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. We'll likely see if in CM 7 long before an official OTA

Considering the fact that this phone has barely been out for a month and a half i think the dev is going pretty good. I think that's why people are giving you crap for this post.
There's a few threads on getting 2.3 working on the thunderbolt so its a wip at this point. Htc is supposed to release 2.3 "soon" anyways.

Hey, don't knock the OG Droid. That was a great little phone. It was my first Android phone.
The only reason I made my comment is because all the OP needed to do was click on TB development to see all the ROMs and support for this device. For only being out a month, there's a crazy amount of support.
OG Droid still rocks, I have one in front of me.
But dude obviously doesn't remember the wait for 2.1 on the OG.
put a nice silicone cover on it (sexual references meant) then show it love!
Only then can it be shown proper love .... lol
Sorry had this coming <<<<<
Anyway The Devs Are Doing The Thunderbolt Much Justice and are working and slaving for this device so there showing the love
I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!
its called patience.
to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.

+1 would be a disaster.
I agree development is slower than I'd expected..
I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

Closer to 3 weeks. It's amazing how some people think it is easy to develop a rom.
It would help if anyone could build a kernel from the lg source that didn't break wifi and bt. All attempts have failed.....

I don't remember really seeing any major development for the Vibrant until after 2 Months!
And we already have a. 2.3.3 and a 2.3.4 Rom out!

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.
So yesterday I went into the store to play a little with the sensation and man I'm glad I got a G2x since release date and not waited for the Sensation. It felt slow all over the place and I compared everything with my G2x.
My G2x felt super smooth while the sensation was feeling laggy and stuttery.
Quadrant scores ( Rounded numbers)
Sensation - 1900
G2x - 2400 (Running stock)
The screen was the biggest dissapointment, The screen was all washed out, and with a yellowish tint. I was hoping to see a major improvement with the higher resolution but didn't compare at all against our phone.
So overall I didn't like the Sensation over the G2x and is not even a match when It comes to speed.
I am a proud owner of the G2x.
Hopefully they start selling the G2x soon. I am pretty sure T-Mobile will be marketing the G2x much more once they release the gingerbread update.
My advise is that you go to your T-Mobile store and try them both and decide for yourself.

Please feel free to not share those reasons....privacy laws and all...I'm sure you understand...

In my opinion, the G2x, right now, isn't ready for the general public. I think it is a good thing they aren't selling them again until GB comes out.
For me, the phone is a beast. I'm not afraid to root it and start ripping out crap that causes problems or flashing custom software or patches. The phone, completely stock, suffers from crappy programming.
Thats one thing that kills me about Android. I LOVE android but manufactures dig their own graves. Google should hire the CM team officially and make all phones require AOSP drivers. I mean the Nexus One still gets official updates from Google. If Google hired the CM team to work on making phones compatible with AOSP roms, then all phones could get pushed stable updates the way Google pushed updates to the Nexus phones.
See right now, manufactures have to build roms around their drivers. If all phones were made compatible to the same set of drivers then we wouldn't have this fragmentation crap.
They need to make the overlays just additional installs.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. As i dont know how Roms come to be or how people port stuff from one phone to another etc.
But my question is, once Android 4.0 is released with the Prime. Will there be Android 4.0 Roms for the G2X. And if so... Will it take long?
If there wont be. I might have to switch to Verizon and get the Prime.

Yes, i'm sure once ICS source code is available our devs will port it over to our devices. With ICS being delayed probaly till end of November it's just a waiting game now...
I dont think it will take too long. I guess it depends how fast the devs get it and create one.
I had a Milestone 2 with a locked bootloader and it finally got Gingerbread but I think G2x is unlocked and easy to create.
Im sure it wont take no time to Cyanogenmod to stark working on ICS
I'm sure we'll get it. Thanks to guys like faux and the cm team, we already have an aosp base. I'm sure there will be drivers that need to be written/re-written, and bugs to work out, but we'll get it. Plus, I'd put money on the fact that once the source code for ics is released, the cm team will start integrating the newer version into cyanogenmod. We probably won't get it right away, and we definitely won't get it officially from lg or tmobile, but I'm sure we'll get it eventually.
Once CM8 is released, it should be released on the G2x along with other devices. I just hope we can disable the software Home & Menu keys.

Android 4.0 is suppose to be compatible with all android devices within 2 years old, and manufactures have agreements with Google that there should be official releases on all these devices. I highly doubt that will happen.
Also, the next Nexus device, by whatever name, won't be exclusively Verizon. It may for a period, but the FCC Documents show that it does in fact HAVE AT&T/Global AND T-Mobile 3G/4G bands, and no LTE.
Wait for official announcements on the phone, but I can guarantee the G2x will have 4.0 one way or another.
The agreement to update all devices for 18 months its for devices released post-ics. We're not eligible, though we will probably get CM8.

I was in a predicament whether to get the Nexus S or the 2x this coming week and my only concern was the ICS upgrade .... thanks guys for putting me at ease
G2x community looks pretty tight not overly populated not sparsely inhabited, just the right combination and an active killer combo of devs

from what I hear MR. CM himself uses the g2x as his personal device so I think it will happen prety fast probally faster than others. I could be wrong about that I read it on a fourm when the g2x was still new. You never know how reliable those sources are.
I heard he got a job with Samsung. Though I speculate nVidia will release drivers since so many devices use the T2 soc
Not too worried since the g2x community has a lot of talented and smart developers already
I would expect an official upgrade as well though, seriously its a google experience phone,while not the top selling it has the specs and what not to get the upgrade.

SOFT keys. As in the ones the buttonless Prime has. Considering ICS is coming to the Nexus S and others, there will definitely be support for softkey removal.

Do you seriously want part of your screen taken up by buttons when you've got perfectly functional capacitive ones on your device? I sure don't.

Agreed. That's the only annoying thing it looks like on the ICS.
I like the ones on honeycomb, as it's beneficial for tablets, but on a phone? No thanks.

Im so tired of seeing so much ics everywhere except here i now have an ice cream headache (applause for my witty wordplay) so anywho..im about to order one of these tablets here http://android-sale.com/eken-a90-android-tablet-16gb.html
I dont feel like paying over 200$ so after my research,this is so far my best bet.comes with ics.theres already support for root and clockworkmod but virtually no custom roms yet..so if i get quiet on here soon youll know what i am up to
I posted this to merely get some opinions on this tablet,if anyone has used,owned,or knows someone who has one let me hear some feedback (i trust you guys more than those generic ratings i see on the websites that sell them) also if anyone knows of a better tablet i should get for same price range.i am all ears.
Thanks. - ryan

I've never owned a tablet, but that seems like pretty good specs for being so cheap. great price. I don't know what the Atrix 2 community is gonna do without you though

thanks for your words,i dont plan on leaving here at all. might take a leap of Absence after scv6 is released soon. after that ill be waiting till the ICS comes to our phones and then goto town on it. theres just not much left that i'd like to do for gingerbread, i mean theres some unique xml work that i would love to be doing but takes time,and now that the babysitter has flaked out for good im left watching the two youngens a lot more than before so my time is limited now.

True, with a locked bootloader, we are so limited. Kernels can make quite the performance difference. my hope is that as ics nears we can pull it with an unlocked bootloader from cheesecake. I am thinking of trying to make an app to automate the process even more. I sent phydo a PM asking if he would share the source code, so I can take a look at what he's done.
The other problem is we have so few devs for our phone. I'm not all that great myself and basically it is you, Jim, JRW28, and a few others. other phones have a ton of people working on stuff.

Yeah.as for me i spent 10 hours a day for a month learning how to develop.i was steady making progress untill i lost the babysitter,now im watching my girls kids.now i barely have time to focus and actually make the progress i want to to bring anything innovative to the table .because theres a lot more to know.i still consider myself an amateur dev.

@lkrasner Well, technically don't we have an unlocked bootloader, or at least a bypass from kexec? From my understanding we just don't have a kernel to put on it yet.
@rdavisct Does the tablet have a capacitive touch screen or a resistive? I know a friend who bought a tablet that looked really good for the money (two cameras, 1.5Ghz processer, microSD expansion etc.) but he got really pissed of when he got it and discovered it had a resistive touch screen.

True, but kernels are immensely complex. I wouldn't mind if he takes a couple months if the product is stable and bug free, rather than him forcing it out early with tons of bugs.

@krasner ..youre learning! ;-D
@farshad ..yes its 5 point capacitive,1.5ghz single core,1gm ram,16gb internal storage with sd expansio upto 32gn. Hdmi out and loaded with ics. And. 9.5 inch screen.One HELL of a nice package IMO.
Ive been searching for days.only thing close to these specs is the novo 7 elf 2 and novo 7 aurora ..but those both only come with 8gb internal storage,1.2ghz,and 7 inch screen. So i think i found the winner by far.

I know you said you don't feel like paying over 200, but you can get a used xoom off of ebay for very close to 200.
I have a xoom, the one with a 3g/4g radio, and I have hacked it and flashed it to work with an AT&T radio. I have been running ICS on mine for some time now, and I LOVE this thing! When I bought it in March last year, I liked it so, that is why I got the Atrix2.
The Xoom is just that bad assed, if you can spend just a small amount more you can get a used one. I just checked ebay and saw a bunch in about the 200ish range, that lowest was 211, but I am sure if you pay some attention you can snag one for a great price.
Or may be you can try HP touchpad

Get a HP touchpad, got mine running at 1.6 on both cores, perfectly stable cm9 build. Only mic and camera dont work. Dual boot into web OS is great. Nightly builds available.
