Do SGS4G's come with 2.3.3 from factory?

Hey guys, I'm getting this phone via CL. The one I'm looking at guy says its preloaded with 2.3.3 via factory.
Question is if that's even possible since I know OTA for GB on this phone has never happened?
Also, to root it would I just Odin to GB bootloaders or Honks kernel?
Thanks guys!

It wont be preloaded with GB via factory
You will need to flash a leaked GB like kg4 so you can have the GB bootloaders then flash drhonks kernel and your set

I'd ask for a screenshot for proof since these phones haven't even gotten official gb yet.
Yes you'd be able to root it with honk's kernel. You can also follow my gb starter pack guide to get good bootloaders etc.

Thanks guys. My only worry was that rooting and flashing would be different in case it is on 2.3.3.
But glad to know that I can still follow FB's guide to get to where I want it to be. I'm gonna let my beloved MT4G go for this so I hope I won't regret lol. Just wanted something different.
Appreciate the response once again!

I doubt it would be a problem, since Odin would take care of everything. However, if the guy said it came preloaded with 2.3.3, you should probably make sure he's not giving you something else.

Yeah. I'll check it out before taking it. I'm just more worried that I wont like it as much as my MT4G. But I've always liked Sammy's hardware so I'll take the plunge.

a few months ago(like april) you would regret having this phone over the mt4g but i can reassure you that myself and the few devs in this community have made this phone smoother then ever enjoy good battery life, no lag, amazing screen display and a nice 1.7 OC if you desire

Sweet. Can't wait to give it a shot then!
Also, probably a stupid question. But since they're working on getting MIUI fully functional, does that mean CM7 is just around the corner since CM7 is the base of MIUI?

to be honest, we thought we were going to get cm7 first because krylon and drhonk were working on it
the kernel was giving them A LOT of problems and slowed down development, im pretty sure they are still working on it however i havent seen any updates on their work in awhile
if not maybe some of us devs could start the cm project as well

Coming from the mt4g, I understand where you're coming from. You won't be disappointed, raver, dsexton, krylon, whitehawx, drhonk, and atoore, and anyone else I may have missed, are all very talented devs and make the phone worth the switch. So weather it be team acid, or team whiskey, you'll be happy.

The Liquid Dev I spoke to said the Liquid Team is working on the radio issues.
I'm a big fan of Liquid ROMs, so hopefully they overcome the issue quickly,
but good work takes time and Liquid Smooth 3.2 has been an awesome ROM
to run while I/We wait..

+1 on liquid 3.2
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk

Ill take anything with data about now but Liquid and Twisted are my Rom's of choice when they come out.

twisted is my choice, he keeps it updated about everyday.

The good news is that it seems there is a rom with working data coming soon.
The 'bad' news is that it seems to be liquids rom.
Hopefully twisted can borrow it since his version works best for my phone.

if they sort the data out does that mean we hopefully will get ICS , miuiV4 and oakp(kang one protekk built) working possibly?

I hope twisted gdts it. I personally cant afford to buy(donate) just for the opprotunity to use a rom. With the wife out of work, supporting 2 kids, and the economy, every penny i already earn is accounted for. Things are very hard for us right now.

agreed. everybody has an opinion. If a dev cant take a shot, then they dont need to be deving. I personally have been back on the OG Rom rooted and deodexed for a few months now. I just got tired of ROMs with stuff not working.
Props to all the devs for what they do, but partially working ROMs just dont cut it for me. So I have been back on the OG rom for a few months now and very glad I did.

Good news for me about the liquid rom, I have been using v3.2 for a few weeks now with no problems, and am excited for an ICS version . . .

I used OMFGB for a long time. Recently though, I've changed to Thundershed and couldn't be happier. A lot of the same stuff, but with some newer enhancements and updates (OMFGB, for example, doesn't even have the locations fix built in as it hasn't been updated in...well, this year, maybe).

[Q] G2x OTA Updates

Is it possible that the G2x will get an OTA of ICS or will we be stuck with OTA GB if someone has an answer or anything i would love to hear from you.

Very unlikely for an OTA of ics from t-mobile. Maybe a flash tool like GB was, through LG...

Why do you say that? I'm almost positive they will be fully functional and fast. The ics rims feel more sluggish then MIUI, not saying the work team douche, hell/doniqcc is poor just saying with what they are given they are doing the best they can. With all the proper drivers and source they can make ICS 10X better.

It was who ever was working at the O2x forum "ICS 4.0 Sources Released....." If you mean those old alpha's from back in November, those are unrelated to to our ICS builds.
About HW accel, it works, but media accel doesn't work very well.
I feel that whitehawkx AOKP with the forward ported kernel works well. If you by chance judged it as sluggish because you used EB ICS build 3 and flashed a different kernel it's because you can't flash other kernels on EB ICS.
Sent from Narnia

It's been stated by almost all devs including arcee stating that HW accel isn't 100% just a hack to get it sort of working.
I didn't flash a different kernel on EB ICS, as it has been stated not too.

So who fixed it then? cause it feels the same as it did with arcees build 3, sure its a little smoother but not enough to be fixed 100%. Arcee made the statement about 3 weeks ago that the hack is as good as it's going to get without drivers/source...

[Q] g2x ice cream sandwich

I am a newbie to my G2x from Tmobile.
I do understand that LG has not released an update to upgrade to ice cream sandwich. Right?
So, how do I get Ice Cream Sandwich on my phone? I am computer savvy and can understand instructions if made easy to understand. I know its something about rooting my phone right?
Could someone send me instructions on how to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich?
Or is LG planning to upgrade G2x to Ice Cream Sandwich?
Help, please........

Yup just like our friend said check the dev section.
When you get there look for clockwork recovery, once you install that make a back up of your current rom and then you can install any rom of your choosing.
I never asked for help when I started so if I can do it you definitely can do it, pm or something if you got any other Q's.

Load ICS for the experience. But don't expect to have a good experience. I'm staying with GB. Sometimes I load up an ICS to check it out. I never stay with it. Wish I could.

This! ICS looks nice and all, but its performance is pretty bad. I've load up countless amounts of ICS roms, but they were never as good as the Weapon rom which is GB. I'm on gensis right now and it lags, gps never locks. Might just go back to weapon in a few days.

Do u know if Wifi calling works on that JB CM 10 build? I got my GB Tom all setup nicely and don't wanna flash JB to find out it doesn't work. I know in ICS Rome it didn't.

The source drop has built in support for the 990 and 999 so once they get the compiles done its full HWA ICS so should solve all the issues in the hackfest roms given a week or two.

Wait until someone makes a port and proper fully working ROM for our phone, the hackfests are fun, but not for anyone who needs anything stable/daily.

Q? the most estable rom?

Hi, i was the genesis-v1-beta9 rom, but it´s more inestable.

Only reason why I switched from your ROM to Owain's is that I prefer the CM9 power widget over the AOKP one. I do miss the swag!
I think all the ICS ROMs are pretty much equal in terms of stability. The same problems I have with Owain's is the same I had with Genesis. It's quick at first, but always starts lagging again after a few days. I just blame the G2x for being a ****ty phone. Oh, and I don't ever think I got the error "System process isn't responding" on Genesis, but I get it often on Domination.
