Just a curious question for developers. If the Optimus 2X gets ICS and the G2X does not can you still use the 2X drivers for the G2X to get hardware acceleration working? Thanks!

Or the o2x from what I've read it is blobs full HWA would make things a lot smoother and ALOT quicker, I notice lag all over the place scrolling isn't smooth, and rotating the phone takes a while too. If we had full HWA this thing would fly!!

Very true. Since Nvidia wont release the drivers, we have to wait till an official ICS ROM to get it working smoothly. Then it can be ported and bloatware removed and optimized for us.
Ah, I miss my Vibrant and how great its ICS must taste.

Yeah I agree after playing with an old Captivate with ics and hw acceleration working I can defiantly say we don't have full functioning hw acceleration yet can't wait tho!
Pin it to Win it.
Hwacceleration is only half ass working through work around patches. Thus the Hal issues with video decoding and many ics apps like browser for instance. If o2x gets it I'm sure we can get it fully working.

There arent any ICS roms for the G2x/LG 2x that support HWA. Until LG releases there version of ICS we will not have video recording

The video recording doesn't work because the G2x doesn't have official/correct drivers for ICS, therefore things like video recording and actual hardware acceleration don't work. What we have is a work around that is almost as good as the actual hardware acceleration, but its not the real thing.

Sorry for the noob question.
miui is built off of cm7 so I would think it would work. ill upload the apk when I get home if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Here you go. I would make a backup of your rom before trying the camera just in case.
Use any file manager with root access to place the APK in system/app then reboot. The camer should then be in your app drawer. If when trying to open it it force closes it wont work. I think it should work with CM7 but dunno about stock gingerbread.

Because the LG camera app has more features and tweaks the camera to take better quality video and photos. It also has the zoom feat. while recording video which is nice to have. Its hard going back to stock after being used to utilizing the extra feats.
Geah!

3 Froyo released (Infused, Bionix, Refuse)
1 Gingerbread released (Infused v2)
1 Gingerbread available as source code only, with CWM packages occasionally popping up on IRC (Cyanogenmod 7 port)
I believe there are 2-3 Gingerbread coming. I think Nop was almost finished with a Gingerbread variant of Bionix but was getting nervous about releasing after seeing what happened to gtg's Gingerbread thread.
MikeyMike01 has some stuff in progress, but he doesn't release his stuff until it's 100% - this includes MIUI in early testing stages as of last night.
gtg, LinuxBozo, and Mikey have been working on an interesting project that should give us a LOT of ROM options if it works. I'm not going to say much more as it's an early thing and there's always the possibility of hitting a roadblock.
There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on at the moment. CM7 seems to be where a lot of the push is right now. One of the few things remaining missing is Bluetooth at this point - unfortunately hciattach causes a kernel mini-panic with almost no useful debugging information.

Is it looking better than the CM7 that is available for the Captivate? I tried it countless times but kept going back to the i9000 based ROMs. Video/graphics was a huge issue. Games would lag and stutter and video playback was a challenge.
(hope that didn't come across the wrong way....)

Media playback seems fine. Parallel Kingdom seems as good as it was on Froyo or the Rogers ROM.
I haven't had a chance to retry Navigation yet.
Bluetooth is 100% broken still. hciattach causes a mini kernel panic when you try to turn on BT.
CM7 is at this point my daily driver. BT was never working for XDAndroid on the HTC Rhodium, so I'm kind of used to not having it.
The mytouch 4g slide specs are too powerful. In the interest of sales and the economy, the government is forced to limit development on this perfect piece of hardware. If we had cm7 or sense 3.5 with gpu UI rendering (harware acceleration)... People would be so happy with their phone that they would not buy a new one, ever again...

You might want to also try undeads absolution. Its pretty nice and basically has all the kanged cm has plus a couple fixes and debloated some more which is always a good thing.
On a side note you might want to give undeads senseless ROM a try as he's got a good bit of cm stuff mixed in to keep it interesting if you want to keep the TV out and good awesome sense camera and 1080p video and not have a bunch of useless crap the stock room had in it. Actually I recommend it at this current moment as cm is great but at the expense of losing a couple of the premium qualities (camera,TV out) of this phone??

It's basically an alpha...
It's a nice start...but the kernel in it will murder your battery. There are some market issues as well as keyboard glitches.
Here's a list posted of issues by the OP
The current buglist:
- Recording in HD Video is limited to 720p currently.
- Camera zoom is limited to 2X.
- Certain browser issues, such as reported crashes and flash 11 movie compatibility issues. (CyanogenMod).
For the most part you might be better off sticking to Undeadk9's Senseless for now..... Might want to hold off till Sunday Undeadk9's got something to share.

Browser "issues" easily corrected through the use of a REAL BROWSER, aka FIREFOX.
The other issues with the camera... less than significant.

Working terrific so far. Looks absolutely identical to regular miui. Except keyboard which is a tiny bit smaller I believe. Also noticibly faster in general. I do recommend it from my experience so far.
been running ICS build since it's availability and everything has been smooth and stable. it "feels" faster than any other MIUI build i've used, but could just be placebo effect unless ICS' hardware acceleration is really working.
i even had wifi calling working a couple times, but this has not been consistent. sometimes it worked and other times i had the "invalid sim" error.
can't really comment on battery life as i'm still re-calibrating.
the only issue i've run into is a Market FC only when i try to swipe through the screenshots for apps...weird.
other than the issue listed above, this rom has been great and error free for me.
tried it out.... hated the Ui would much prefer weapon x ui with ics improvements and toggles going back to weaponx 2.8.
Been using the ICS build. No crazy real world speeds were felt by me. Only going to keep running this build if the battery life is better than the regular one.
Missing extended power menu. Might be missing gps.config fix & APN fix files in this ICS build.
Looks & feels the same as any other MIUI Whitehawkx has ported over.
Installed just now...works great and benchmarks return 2700+. Also, I was having terrible problems with Youtube before with any other MIUI version (very, very, very, verrrrrry slow loading). Now Youtube is faster to load than when it was with Gingerbread.
THANK YOU Whitehawkx!

I had that happen but only because miui considered it a favorite app and wanted you to submit a rating.
That's the only thing I found impressive was the media player, galnet player. I'd love to see it in cm7 or in a market.

If the P990 release ever fails to be released, then there might be some hope in this.
Also, with the introduction of Key Lime Pie coming up next year, the proprietary drivers from the ICS release will more than likely become broken. In this case, the open-source drivers may become EXTREMELY beneficial.
Great find
