[q] miui 4.0.1 p999?

So what's the deal with this galnet ICS for G2x "Galnet ICS 2.11.26". Screenshots show android version 4.0.1. Is it legit? Not quite understanding why everyone's not all over this thing if it is, which leads me to ask this question to begin with since there's not very much info on it (that I could find).
Here is the actual page;

This is exciting.

well im running the stock galnetmiui, and it seems stable enough. i cant believe ICS has been available all this time. im gonna try to slip faux123's kernal in now.

If this is it how come CM and others aren't using it to get their cameras working?

galnet is just a framework merge to ICS it doesnt have the ICS APK's, yet that is. im guessing thats why cm team hasnt used the code, cm team is probably using the ics camera APK.
also faux123's ds kernal v 048 is working fine so far.

It doesn't have much of anything from ics except a couple of things it just just has 4.0.3 in the build prop, you can do that with 2.2 builds. I don't even think it has the basics from ics in it. It is not worth the flash IMO. It is a basic miui build with some tiny modifications that are not noticeable again IMO

Yup I agree with mt3g.

Is says that it is 4.0.1 but it is very stable. I have been running it for about a week with Morfics The Destroyer 1.6ghz kernel and it is awesome. Very stable and fast. I have not had any reboots or SOD. Wifi calling works perfect as well. You will not be disappointed if you flash this rom.

Ah so it doesn't really have any of the optimizations and improvements of ICS? Just the little bits of it here and there?

From what I gathered while on it that was when it first came out, it is a flash over zip you have to install latest miui and them the ics layover (kinda like a theme for 2.3.3) not really though lol. I didn't even notice anything different at all.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

So general consensus is no this is not 4.0.1, it's just MIUI with a BS version number.

Weather it is or isn't I don't know. But you can not go by a Screenshot of the Android Version. That can be changed in the build.prop.

Not ICS... simply has some pieces stolen...
By that logic, Tsugi has "Some ICS Code" in it... as in, I used some of the images out of ICS in the theme, as well as a little xml and the screen animations. Doesn't make it ICS.

Well intrigue got the better of me and I decided to flash it , needless to say I was very disappointed. Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure when/if it happens I'll be one of the last to know anyway lol.

Why are they banned?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because they falsify information in their roms most likely. Callin this 4.0.1 is completely inaccurate. Just because it has a couple of "ICS features".

If I remember right it is just the fact the galnet asked if there versions would not be put on XDA

So in other words, the latest build the dev team has put out is just an amalgamation that's only partially ICS with the rest of it being part and parcel Gingerbread, huh?
Really looking forward to seeing hardware acceleration. I couldn't tell ya whether it'll really be the next thing since sliced bread.
Any word on whether this might allow us to run games more smoothly? I think I read somewhere that it's also a matter of developers writing code into their games that make better use of Nvidia's GPU? With the Tegra 2 being a CPU that's bound to age in 2012, I have to doubt that ICS will help us in games.

[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........
Thanks.....

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. I'm dependent on Wifi calling as I live way out in the sticks and HAVE TO connect to my wireless router with Wifi calling to do anything at home.

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.

Repetitive Question but who has the best Gingerbread ROM?

I only ask this because I do not have a Skyrocket. My friend does, I rooted it a while back and now he said his ROM is giving him problems. I would normally flash and mess around with the ROM to see how it responds, but like I said I dont have one. I know ICS is fairly new so I dont want that. I need a stable, fast, good battery Gingerbread ROM. I will look in the dev section and do what i normally do, check options, and the last few pages of the thread, but any referrals are greatly appreciated without the normal hate. I will be going to his house prob thursday to hook him up, esp with the throttle trick as well

Quickwiz is probably one of the quickest roms IMO
