[Q] Original 2.3 for LG Optimus T (P509)

Is the gingerbread released? I got a new update in the LG software tool, I'm going to see if it's the gingerbread update.
Update: Its version 2.2.2.... Software version LG-P509-V10S

That's not Gingerbread for sure.

how much longer till official Tmobile optimus T gets 2.3 upgrade?

Sprint rolled out their update this week I believe. Co-worker has one, said his phone freaked out so he took it to the sprint store and the Rep said he had to update it..I was skeptical so I took a look at his about phone and dammit it was 2.3 hopefully that's a good sign for the T-Mobile users.

I have a P509 from T-Mobile and waiting for the 2.3 release. Seems like everyone else has it but us. I am hoping it comes in October.

I know you've followed my rants on this before.
The chatter on the LG and TMO forums is still the same. The failed Optimus S update gives TMO all the reason they need to reject it.
All pissed off P509 owners should constantly be spamming US TMO and LG forums asking when, why, etc..... I do.

Yep, according to wiki docs on our phone, the optimus t wont be getting that official 2.3 gingerbread update, keep using unofficial versions or get a better phone-4g sensation or galaxy s2 yay!!!!!

I have the Optimus T and have been reading mostly conflicting 'do' and 'donts' about using Optimus One ROM's so I'm still not sure if I 'can' or 'cant'. I never expected to see a GB update for the phone though - it's long past that and since it is under the pay-as-you-go framework it won't get any luv.

Any P500 rom that uses the old baseband will work flawlessly on the P509. In fact the only thing I miss about the official rom is the missed message notification on the lockscreen. CM7 is superior is every other way IMO. Once the bugs are ironed out with Oxygen, AOSP and andys Phoenix I think we'll have one of the best selections of Gingerbread roms available on any phone.
Official LG GB utilizes the new baseband. The P500 baseband does not include the 1700 spectrum. This represents half of TMOs 3g network (according to Wiki).
I've flashed the P500 baseband and had no major problems. However, weird things like the launcher only showing 3 buttons instead of 5. When my phone booted it up it took an extra few seconds before I had network reception. Battery life was slightly worse compared to Official froyo. I errored on the side of caution and went back to the old baseband. Also, the idea of only having access to half the available 3g towers was a huge turn off.

LG released the update for the Optimus One and considering Gingerbread is just a refresh of Froyo, I did expect an update. Since the Optimus V, P505, P506 and all other U.S. versions of the Optimus One haven't received the update, there's little hope and little room to complain. That doesn't change the fact that I feel I've been cheated.
My only concern is if LG releases the sources for the new baseband, will the great 01 devs start to phase out support for the old baseband?

Well thanks for clarifying.

can you point me in the right direction, to a rom were mms size comes in normal! because everytime i try a rom my mms come in to small and thus my pictures are thumbnails like! i know i've complain about this in the past, but your saying p500 roms would work flawlessly on the p509 and maybe i'm flashing the wrong roms! if you can help that would be great?
ps. i would like to flash the openoptimus the one with the old baseband you think it would work?

The small mms issue is because Tmo doesn't recognize the phone (don't ask, it makes no sense to me either). A rom like cm7 has an option in sms settings to change the user agent. Third party apps do too.
Any rom based on official LG like openoptimus won't have this option.
If you prefer official LG without a third party app, it may be possible to decompile the mms.apk and edit the user agent.

Telus officially released an OTA update for Gingerbread 2.3.
So, yes, your phone is completely covered under the new baseband.

I dont think they are coming out with one for the tmobile version sorry

Sensation gets 2.3.4 when do we???

I know we just got 2.3.3 but I'm just wandering why they getting an update so fast and who knows when we will get another one

Probably never, there are rumors of the g2x getting ICS 4.0 sometime, although that is highly unlikely. You can try out CM7 for 2.3.5.

What he said
LG and T-Mobile won't come out with any updates. LG releasing the source code, they abandoned support.
XDA is only reason this phone gets any kind of love and support.

There is hardly anything noticeable between 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.5.
If you want a newer version, do a custom rom. I can't understand why people, on XDA especially, fight so hard to stay on a stock rom that is old and lacking. My neighbor bought a G2x the other day and I NVFlashed his phone in like 4 minutes (mostly due to downloading and finding the XDA thread for the NVFlasher).
Gingerbread is available in a plethera of roms for our device. I'd much rather LG focus their efforts on a timely ICS release.

I just wish nvidia would release drivers. I would love a2dp on the newer roms

I hope we don't get 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 if that comes. I want LG to just focus on getting out 2.4 as near as available as possible. All the learning from vanilla with driver fixes should make 2.4 a snap.
At this point nothing about 2.3 any variants makes any difference after 2.3.3
The G2X vanilla should easily be able to handle Android 4, or 2.4 whatever its named sandwich. The hardware is spec. And should be able to get onto the next version after Ice Cream, at that time it will be like a basic model that can still easily support.
I am expecting 2 more full releases on the phone, as the cost for LG to do, with the drivers worked out, should be very minimal.
Worse case, LG can license a custom ROM, and toss that out for a couple hundred K. 2 man years cost.

It is nice to see you post something other than the CAL... if you really think LG is gonna release anything other than maybe a small updae which i also doubt. maybe youll join with the CAL.. This is it even LG has said they dont even plan on bringing out the camera appp which i thought they would at least do.
As burk said no proof either way. But history means a lot and sicne this debacle i have looked at lg and see this has been nothing new with them. and Updates have been only carrier pushed for bugs from what i have read.
Yes it would be nice to see something new and great for the phone from LG but dont hold your breath.

hmmm
I would rather LG focus on getting all the bugs fix with this phone rather than releaseing a new os version for it plauged with the same issues and froyo and gingerbread

Wouldn't actually work since gtalk works using NEON which our processors don't have. I haven't tried the alternatives (like vtalk our vtok, something like that) but they don't apparently work well. google has to fix it unless there's been a development I missed.

After the fiasco of 2.3.3, LG is never going to touch this phone ever again. It's dead in the water for all they care, and Tmo isn't going to pressure them into updating because they're focused on pimping the Sensation right now.
CyanogenMod is the only way this phone will ever see ICS, I would put money on that.

1-4-11 UPDATE: The ICS on G2x Release Date FAQ: You got questions?

1-14-11 Update: Some, remain disappointed that the ICS update remains in flux prior to its release on the G2x phone series.
I have carefully updated the FAQ below to address all the concerns raised in the various replies. Hopefully to those critical, your thorough review of differences and key updates in the FAQ, as reflected below, shall meet with your satisfaction.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here it is: The ICS release on the G2X FAQ.
QUESTION: Has the CM team said they are working on it, and they will release it free of charge when its done?
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: LG has basically said that the entire series of phones released on the G2x reference platform will all be getting ICS, so LG will release ICS for the G2x, and the only factor is now total time right?
ANSWER: Yes yes yes yes yes. The G2x is getting ICS.
QUESTION: So basically ICS is coming to the G2x from both official and unofficial channels.
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: Will you tell me when ICS for the G2X. done, and post a thread announcing it, and allow me to download it and use ICS.
ANSWER: YES
QUESTION: Is it done yet? Is ICS ready for the G2x now? Now? How about now? waiting waiting NOW? I just heard a new rumor that it running and ready and its ready and I just want to confirm is it finally done now?
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: I was told that being a total butt-wipe and protesting and saying that I will boycott LG and Nvidia is going to help the developers These butt-wipes want me to go in and start wiping with them. Will this help get ICS on the G2x faster.
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: I would like a fresh update on the status of the ICS build for the G2x....so.....IS THE ICS UPDATE READY NOW?????
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: I have suddenly become aware that the ICS update has been released, that everyone is using it, and that there has been no public posting about how to download the new ICS update. Can I have it now since you are all using it.
ANSWER: Its not ready, and NO.
QUESTION: I am really wanting this ICS, can I have the ALPHA BETA ANDROMEDA Strain testing version now.
ANSWER: NO, when its ready you can have it.
QUESTION: Hey guess what phone X just got ICS up and working, but the G2x does not. I think our developers suck. I am going to create a thread that blames Nvidia for this shameful delay, but anyone reading between the lines will see that I think our developers suck, and that all the good developers are working on other phones. Sooooo would starting a thread to shame the developers for not being all that good be a way to get ICS on the my G2x faster.
ANSWER: NO.
QUESTION: Phone Z just got it, looks like we are going to be 3rd and at least 6 days after phone Z, this sucks, I just started a thread saying the same, and have posted excessively on 6 other similar threads. This is helpful and helping the developers right?
ANSWER: Wrong.
QUESTION: I have no need for any of the new features on ICS, but want to overclock my G2x with ICS so as I can post my high numbers for benchmark scores. Since I am a real power-user right along with Pi using the phone to the fullest, can I get a special early release of ICS.
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: Ready it is! Now?
ANSWER: NO. And that is the worst Yoda impersonation.
QUESTION: I have more questions, except they are already answered, would it help if ask again, start a new thread maybe.
ANSWER: NO
QUESTION: I have just one more question so let me start it this way....
ANSWER: Its not done yet.
QUESTION: How about now?
ANSWER: NO
Note: For others wanting to re-purpose this FAQ for their phones, a shout-out for tombaker would be nice.

Dude, this is great. One question though-
Is the ICS build done yet?

No!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the laughs!

how about now? can we have it?

Awesome! I really like the part about needing ics features. Don't misunderstand, I want ics as much as the next guy, but in reality my phone can already do everything I ask of it. I've played with a galaxy nexus and my phone does pretty much what it does, just goes about some of it a little different.

Sorry but I don't have the time to read through the whole thread and I just have one question or concern:
I've heard that ICS is ready for some devices so doesn't that mean that it's ready now? I just need a beta version for the facial recognition feature. I'm also going to start a thread flaming LG for not releasing an official version.

nice post. however, let me phrase it this way.. is..? hehe..
thanks for the updates!

I saw a YouTube video of the g2x running ics. Can I haz now
Also lg hates us g2x owners so I will make a petition to let them know we bought there phone. Since they announced a ics release for all there other phones they must hate g2x really bad.

I'd have to say... Everyone but possibly tainle was being sarcastic.

I have to take issue with one part of this Faq...
That LG has said the 2X is getting ICS is not true - they *NEVER* said that the G2X will get it. You may disagree with me here, but this is an *important* distinction. Why?
1) T-Mobile has to REQUEST and APPROVE the update for it to happen.
2) T-Mobile has a history of NOT Requesting and Approving updates for devices with "nearly identical except for the radio" devices in the past - such as the Vibrant, which got no Gingerbread despite *every* other major Galaxy S variant having it.
Until LG specifically says "G2X" is getting ICS, I would put it into the column of "maybe" and not definitely.

True, but they did say the O2x would get the update. It almost certainly wouldn't be stock, but devs on the forum have made it seem like it isn't the most difficult thing porting to the G2x. Mind you, I have absolutely no idea myself, so it could be very difficult. It's still probably easier than writing drivers or finding ways to hack the phone around existing already compiled ones.
EDIT: My bad, forgot that I've only seen ports from one to the other of CM7 based things like MIUI.

I don't know which Devs said porting it would be easy, but so far NOBODY has been able to port G2X and O2X Roms either direction with stock LG Code. CM based Roms, YES, but Factory Stock, NO... The radio files are very different and all attempts to port - by some very talented Devs - have ended in a nice looking rom that can't make calls.
That's not to say that if ICS were the prize, someone couldn't come up with a way, but it's *still* not a guarantee.
EDIT:
Not trying to create drama or anything, but I just think that a FAQ should stick with the facts and not hopes.

I agree, the carriers don't want interchangeability of phones with their competitors' services. That's why the radio frequencies are not shared, they're fragmented between the carriers as is Android for their phones. I only recently got an Android phone but I now realize that the Open Source promise is a fraud.

There is at least potentially one P999 device sold as an Optimus 2X - by Wind Mobile. Potentially there may be another sold by Cincinnati Bell Wireless.
LG says ALL O2X devices are getting ICS. There is a P999 sold as O2X. How is there even debate over this? After getting sued once over failing to deliver a ROM update, do you think LG is really going to fool around with technicalities?
Thats probably something else to consider from LGs point of view. TMobile didn't get sued, LG did. If I were running LG, I would make very sure to fulfill my promises this time around.

How is the android open source promise a fraud? I mean you do realize that they released ICS source right? Up until recently, they couldn't control what vendors did with their phones. Now, with Android being the most used phone OS, they have a little more control on everything.
A lot of people tend to blame Google/Android for the mistakes brought on with a company's phone. I know that an iPhone fanboy here at work made a comment everytime about Android when my G2x died, when it was obviously the phone itself.

Some questions regarding ICS

Quick questions. If im not mistaking the O2x is supposed to get ICS. IF that indeed happens what are the chances that it can get ported to our g2x? AND if indeed THAT happens would we be able to attain the drivers for hw acceleration? THEN if so how long would it prolly take before we can get a fully functioning ICS ROM?
(Positive thoughts, positive thoughts)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm going on theory based on what I've actually put in the time to read, something you should try.
Yes the O2X is reportedly to get from ICS LG
Ported like they port MIUI??? not likely, can they rip out the necessities we need for the G2X yes.
If/when LG releases ICS it will have fully functioning HW accel...
I'm assuming a very short period of time after LG releases or there is a leaked build of ICS for out chipset...

I'm pretty sure we can rip the code from the o2x for anything we need, it'll just take the grace of a good dev, and some patience on our part

Did the Korean ICS update ever go through?

Yeah it's pretty dated info that's why I'm curious because all these hackfests still around but no stable ICS? I can only assume LG pulled a fast one and never released it or they did but every dev stopped developing for p999 becuase there were so many nice ICS builds for my phone but all with there only little problems like the launcher "trebuchet" and system always crashed on domination's builds

I am not 100% sure whether the Korean version is the same as p990, but it is definitely a variant of optimus 2x that has a different model number than p999. Therefore, its roms will not work on our phone.

Word from developers is that this source also applies to the P999 (T-Mobile G2X) as well.

I'd love to believe that... but that article was written a little over a year ago. I'd think that if it was a possibility to get fully functional ICS on our g2x's with thus source code, it would've been done by now. I am starting to lose hope that we can run ICS or JB without a single hitch as our mighty devs have just run into the same problems it seems even looking from different angles. Thanks anyway to all who have given us a shred of hope of running anything after GB.

I'd love to believe it too. Hopefully one of the devs sees this thread and pokes his head in here to give us a reason why it can't/hasn't been done..

The Korean ics for the su990(or some such thing) came through and that's when we got Apollo/mazout cm10.1 with no radio. It was built on that stuff. For the p990 it worked out great though.
