LG and/or NVIDIA from what i gathered. There's alot of stuff that just doesn't work right, or not at all, mainly sound and camera. The old ALPHA for G2x versions worked, but lacked sound and lots other internal issues that haven't been resolved yet.

The creator of the eaglesblood ROMs is trying to port over ICS from his Gnex... I think he can do it, he probably has more knowledge about this phone than all of LGs developers combined.

Well if he does, and it works, then i'll start a ROM based from it.
I dont know much *(or anything) about programming and so on. but this entire fragmentation way of doing things, where each company needs to have their own team and we all need to wait for the release of google's latest, is just plain annoying.
At the mercy of a company that already sold you their device? that's not smart. Google should hold all SC (or drivers, or whatever U call these) and release them to all public and all phones at the same time.
But what am I BSing about?!
THANKS
Well I have managed to port 4.0.3 to my g2x but still can't get sound and cam right like the other builds. But some things ive found improvements on. Since my g2x is just a play toy for me I don't care about camera but without sound its useless. Im still messing with it but put it to the back burner for now because I'm highly frustrated with it.

Cyanogen stated that they got sound to work, they just can't get the cam to work.
Also that one guy doing the 20 people beta for his ics rom claims he also got everything to work except the camera.
I think we should be getting close to a functional rom, cyanogen is pretty dang close.

Word on my contacts is the last bits we're waiting on a code release from LG which will come only when an official ICS Rom comes down the pipe for the p990 or p999.... those on the ICS CM9 team working on the o2x/g2x team tell me they'll be able to adapt what they need from o2x even if g2x doesn't get an official release, though we'll have to wait and see.

the lack of an ICS rom for my G2x is making me wish i bought a sensation. however, i've been having nothing but trouble flashing the new firmware for my gf's sensation, thus i can't even use the ICS roms. i just gotta be patient.

The only reason I avoided the Sensation was the price difference, hehe. Turns out it had its own set of problems like the G2x. Seems to me ICS is forthcoming with no set timetable by the devs.

Hi guys, it looks like the G2X will be out at 20th April, but I know that few of you have the device now (for testing purposes, etc.).
Would you mind taking some time, and sharing with us dump of /system and boot partitions?

Am hoping the ROMs will be fully interchangeable between the devices.
Otherwise, I may stay with the stock ROM for awhile - of course, after rooting, flashing recovery, and freezing unwanted apps with titanium. And maybe an overclock kernel (if compatible).
Since it should be an open device, I don't think it will be long before XDA ports a 2.3 ROM for it.

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.

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.

Question – What advantages will the G2x have over single-core phones when it comes to Ice Cream Sandwich? I know that the Nexus S will receive the ICS update before the G2x and be able to take advantage of the NFC chip with Beam, Wallet, etc. What would the G2x bring to the table that the NS can’t when it comes to ICS? I’ve heard forum folks say that ICS is optimized for duo-core phones, but what does that mean exactly?
Probably the multitasking. I bet our phones won't slow down as much as the Nexus S.
However, with that being said, I find it really skeptical about when we'll actually see ICS on the G2X. I credit our developers GREATLY, but that's a huge task that we can't expect them to do overnight.

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.

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.

According to HTC, the Desire HD is confirmed to get an official ICS OTA! As we all know, the DHD and MT4G have nearly identical hardware and ROMs are very easy to port between the two. The stock DHD ICS ROM would make a perfect (read: fully functional) base for the MT4G. Assuming we still have decent devs in a few months, we should have a very nice ICS ROM.

As far as specs, yes. Historically speaking, DHD ROMs do still have to be ported to an extent. However, I would expect a fully working camera will be extremely easy with a DHD dump as a base.

Also true, but we've found solutions to minor issues like that in the past.
Who knows maybe we get it too.

That is good news
good to hear
the kernel is the biggest issue right now and hopefully the dhd's ICS kernel can help
well guys, look at this:
The MT4G is "expected by HTC" to get ICS, but nothing's official yet

I saw that, but isn't that complete crap? Just seems highly unlikely to me. My bet is HTC doesn't consider it worth it, because the myTouch series of phones has that ugly TMO-customized version of Sense. So they'd put a lot of work in customizing that UI to work on ICS for only two phones, one of which is nearing a year and a half old. I just don't see it happening.
Guess I might just keep my phone.. Sounds good...

If it is true, that's another kick in the ass to people who thought we would never get it. I hope we get an official version
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

tell people that they're "considering" on an upgrade, excite everyone, and then don't upgrade...
