LG sucks with updates. None of their promised ICS updates have come through yet, including the phone I'm using now.

Yeah I went to Lg Open Source software yesterday and looked up files for my phone,.... This was there too,.... You would have to compile it with the android -Sdk, but it should work perfectly accourding to the ReadMe inside of it:
LS840(Viper)_Android_ICS_4.0.4_r1_US_Sprint_Opensource_LS840ZVG.zip

T-Mobile G2x to receive Gingerbread update early next week?
UPDATE: We’re now receiving word that it may be another 1-2 weeks before we see Gingerbread on the G2x. No word on whether this was a delay or whether our original rumor was incorrect. We’ll keep you updated.
LOL! Another 1-2 weeks after those 1-2 weeks.

Need Beta Testers for ICS G2X.

Read everything before posting!!!
Please forgive me ahead of time for I am a developer here.
As far as I know Cyanogen is making a ice cream sandwich build and it is currently in alpha. This is for the g2x. We have other developers working on the optimus 2x and are relatively in the same situation.
No one seems to be able to get sound and camera working. I recently found out that CM now has sound working, but still no camera. Almost everything else is working
. So the ueation arises... Where is it? If your looking for a copy of it, I'm sorry to tell you that it is not available for just anyone.
It is however available for a limited number of people... 20 actually. Everything is working on my build!!!! But it needs some stability so I'm looking for some beta testers who have a g2x and an active carrier.
To apply for beta testing, please email me telling me the following info..
email : [email protected]
Please copy this exactly as is.

There are a number of bugs to be worked out. The reason I have this build is because I have a connection with one of the developers at LG and he sent me the O2X version and some other drivers...
If you have any questions you can follow me on twitter

ICS News Update

So I just talked to LG
Richard: I'd like to know how far you are with the ICS update for the LG Optimus 3D (P920) and will we really get it by the end of this month because you people did say we will get it in the 3rd quarter and the quarter end this month.
Mobile Phone Support: Detailed information regarding the ICS OS upgrade in the UK and Ireland will be updated later. Unfortunately, this is the most up to date information provided by LG. We would suggest periodically checking progress by connecting your phone to the LG Support Tool.
Richard: But will we get it by the end of the month.
Mobile Phone Support: I can't tell you, as stated the above information is the current update with regards to when the update will be released.
Do you still think we'll get ICS this month.
I bet those threads you started will be live for one day, and mod will close them.

Well they have been working on I.C.S. for the SU760, we already have V29b and c downloaded. I can't honestly see them not having P920 roms also. As for getting P920 I.C.S. this month, I voted yes.
It looks like egg on face time for me, however, it isn't the end of the month yet.
As always, time will tell.

The OFFICIAL ics is out for su660. When kernel source cones, p990 can be made stable with the drivers in it. Which will make p999 workable when devs get to it.
Hence indirectly out of luck g2x got a life.

Each n every Dev here is skilled. For me there has always been 3 kind of peoples. People who are end users who just buy the phone and fear to fiddle with it cuz it will void the warranty. Others are power users who doesn't care about warranty and do flashing testing and even sometimes tweaking the code (these are the extreme power users). The last are developers some who add their own logic to the code to add new things and fix things the others are extreme developers (who has the android code in their brains like people in LG and Ricardo and last but never the least Google itself)

I didn't mean to say the others aren't skilled. RC just does the forefront of developing while most developers use his work plus other cherry picks. It's way more than I do, for sure.
And I was just talking about rom devs, faux and morfic are amazing kernel devs. Every dev here is awesome, but we need to really credit RC for the huge amount of work he puts into our phone.

The Optimus black's source hit in a couple days.
So what about the news that the Atrix has a leaked official build of ICS now? It's the only other Tegra 2 device that is exactly like our phone. If it would have came out months ago it would have been nice but now that it's out so soon to an official release for the p990 it makes me kind of sad.

Been covered before, the Atrix is a bit too different to be of much help. It's a Tegra 2 but there are some differences.
I'm just concerned if the Korean Su660 is similar enough to the P990, and thus the P999, for its source to be of use, or if we still need to wait for p990 source?
My secondary concern is that there will be additional time/issues getting all this to work on Jelly Bean, which is what the "cool devs" are going to work on anyway.

It's the same phone, minus a button + an antenna. Besides, the p990 is pretty much a p999 with a different radio and partition, while the su660 is the same with different kernel level changes (as the p990) (or something along these lines. It will get us cm10 though)

As far as i know, the difference from ICS to JB is MUCH MUCH smaler than GB to ICS. From what ive collected so far, if we got the ics source we will be able to get JB to work almost flawlessly, maybe not perfect, but a normal user like myself wouldnt be able to tell any difference.
To me that is great news

Yes, with source for ICS, JB will run fine.
My Iconia tablet was upgraded to ICS stock, than with the source, the devs pounded out a fully functional JB ROM. I use it as my daily driver.

G2x one step closer to ICS and JB

Umm..... The ICS sources are compatible with JB. And RC has already started development for it.... He's most likely fixing the majority of bugs for the p990 and then porting it to the p999 so yeah.

Geesh..
G2x-temasek CM7 build135.4 w/faux 054 kernel
Also it's not just spamming, it's an actual liability for us. Let me repeat this: bugging the devs (namely RC) may threaten our chances of ever getting a viable port of CM10 and 10.1. RC has already shut down the O2x thread because of (*) whining about timelines, problems already answered and general crap that doesn't help development. We should keep our forum strong and lively so the devs know we are still here and hungry, but that we aren't a bunch of freeloaders (which we are actually) that feel entitled to their time and effort.
