I signed too,I hope lg will do upgrade in october
Signed!
Together we are strong!
I appreciate that people are anxious for an official Gingerbread release but online petitions wont speed this up. There has been a delay for a reason, What this reason is only LG know. I would much prefer a stable Gingerbread release than a not so stable release just to appease punters. If you really want Gingerbread so bad flash CM7.
This will not just make them release it earlire, but it will inform LG that consumers are not satisfied with these delays, so, they will work hard to update their's devices ASAP to satisfy us if they want to succeed.

I am sure that LG are fully aware that there is growing discontent within the Optimus 3D community at the delays in releasing Gingerbread, You would have to be completely naive to think otherwise.
I'm not signing it. This is 3D, its totally new, even the devs are struggling to change stuff. They will release it when its ready. I don't want a dodgy upgrade. I want one that works well first time, not a flakey one thats released cos' people are impatient. It won't look any different, apps won't look any different so just chill.
Anyway, as soon as 2.4 arrives 2.3 will be old hat and you'll need another petition ;-)

Agree that this is a useless petition.
A better petition would be is to tell LG to skip upgrades on Gingerbread and just focus on Ice Cream Sandwich when that is released.
Basically, continue with making a stable gingerbread release and release it out, then instead of spending months working on upgrades for that, start working on Ice Cream Sandwich instead. At least we'll catch up to other manufacturers in terms of Ice Cream Sandwich releases this way.
I don't understand what the benefits are of having Gingerbread. I am really loving this phone as it is.

Better power management, (better) dual core/dual channel support, better memory manager. So the O3D should be a lot faster en last a lot longer on a battery charge with GB.

Yep, this awesome hardware is only average with froyo. With dual core support, this phone will probably become a killer.

Yes, they are. But, If more queries come to them from consumers, then that would make them speedup the proces. These delayes are unaccepted. Ok, I agree that they have to take time since they are using a new technology and a new processor, but, can you tell me how much days since they released the Optimus 2X? It's processor not new, it is regular phone, and it was released before the Optimus 3D for a while, and until now they didn't release the update!!!!
This tells you something, the thing that there is something wrong in the policy of the company, with these petitions, e-mail, and calls to them, they would feel more that there is something wrong.
I can give you an example, take SonyEricsson. Their first device was Xperia X10, it stayed a long period in 1.6, then they updated it to 2.1, but they learned the lesson well, you can take a lot at their new Xperia devices for 2011. They always get updates, and not just updates, but including new features also like USB OTG. They are now receiving 2.3.5. So, they discovered their mistakes, and now they are telling that their support for their devices is strong before they release their top devices, so that its sales became on the top, because nowadays even if the hardware is powerful but the support is required, and I can prove that by seeing much people saying that they will not take anymore devices from LG, for the bad support, compared to the competitions.
I agree that they should skip GB and work on ICS, but they have first to change their policy before or correct the mistakes that leads to this situatin.
I have signed the petition.
Promise is a promise. The only reason GB is late is because LG is diverting resources to other projects. Shame on you LG. I will never ever buy any of your products if you don't deliver as promised, only then you will restore our trust in your products.

i think (and these are my thoughts only) is this: the gb upgrade costs lg a pretty penny. the older the version becomes the cheaper it is in the end for them. when ice cream sandwich gets released gb will be cheaper to license.
cm7 has lots of missing features otherwise its great -- fast and them-able.
and with that i just signed making it:

Joined, but I don't think this will seed up the process from LG

(Obviously LG, like all smartphone manufacturers wants to ensure that the user experience on their products is the very best it can be and we hope that LG determines in the long run that an Ice Cream Sandwich is viable for G2x owners.)
THAT^^ MADE ME LAUGH LOL
what made me laugh was them saying it depends on whether the phone can handle it (LOL) and if user use is going to be good cause of it . . .cause they know theyre going to f it up and everyones gonna hate it ..stupid lg y u no smart

yeah i know right. they should take advice of the developers in here and see how the phone works with cm7 2.3.7 lol
I swear I read a while back that we could not get Ice Cream on our phones, that they weren't capable.
Regardless, I really doubt we're getting it. IMO, both TMO and LG have washed their hands of this device.
Too bad, 'cause it's an awesome phone. May take a few tries to get a good one LOL, but when you do, not much out there can beat it.
But if you don't expect any support, you won't be disappointed
Weren't capable? Huh? So the nexus S is going to run a stripped down version of 4.0? I think not ...our phones should be plenty capable and be faster on 4.0 than 2.3 yes? Since there's support for dual core

Yeah, I must of imagined that. Couldn't find it by searching.
I'd love to see Ice Cream for sure....
I thought it was funny they said LG was testing ICS on both devices. The source hasn't been released by Google yet!

im sure that all the phone manufacturers have had ics for a while. same as companies get windows/mac os whatever before released to the public. they need the hardware to be able to run the software.
i just cant believe all this hype over todays announcement. LG has been shown to lie and mislead and history of promising updates that never came.
now all of a sudden everyone believes this post proves that these phones will get ics. Ill believe it when i see it.

LG in general. and todays post says nothing confirming an update it says the no was not true it says they are planning ics and will let us know.
the previous post was in regards to past phones where they promised gingerbread updates and they never came.
it took 9 months to put gb out for some of the o2x's and thats an OS that was released before the phone.
its possible lg has figured out they could turn around their rep(due to short memories) around if they release ics by december for these 2 phones.
i havent seen anything from lg that shows they have or care.
so ill believe it when i see it.
if you want to make generalizations about the g2x than if the ics update is comparable to the gb we wont see most of the new optimization's since they are in the kernel and they seem to like the froyo kernel too much.
we can hope they learned something from 6 quaters of loss with each quarter increasing that loss. only time will tell.

I agree about the kernel. It sure would be nice for nvidia and LG to get together and release the code and drivers so the devs can do their thing. I have not relied on a stock rom in years for any of my phones. The magical devs here at xda do a far better job than any of the manufacturers or cell companies. I'm not real big into lobbying companies to do things, but if they don't release ICS for us, I would hope at the least we could get the drivers.

So does Qualcomm typically release source for their drivers? I would think it's all IP that all these companies would want to protect, but I always only see this complaint about NVIDIA.
ok guys there are rumors the lg said on fb the ics isnt coming to the 2x and now their saying that it is coming but they dont mention the g2x!! and all these websites when they talk about the 2x/g2x think are the same witch is not. so they need to be clear on what device their talking about

my guess is when they say 2x they mean all versions with the same hardware tegra 2, LG branding, P999/0 so on and so on. If the O2X gets it so will we.

Yea, we will have it. By the summer.
The AT&T SG2 had CM7 and MiUi roms basically on launch day I've notice roms seem to be coming slow on the skyrocket.
Is this because of the different chipsets, Dev Interest, or something else compared to SG2?
(This isn't me complaining I'm just curious , I also noticed no CM7 roms for T-Mobile SG2)
Bump Up My Post count. Also, want answer.
This device is very new. Also There is no international version. Imsure the dev support will increase but gota have patience . Its a totally different device from the sgs2. Just hope more odevs becpme intrested in it. I think once ics is released for.it the dev support will increase. Supposed to be the first at&t device to recieve it

The SGS2 had it on the international phone, so migrating it was easy. New chip will delay the ROM's on the skyrocket, so be patient

The galaxy s2 lte is the international version of the skyrocket, but the issue is it released at around the same time and is not near as popular as the original gs2.
Our phones are very similar to the tmo GS2, so once they get a cm7 port the skyrocket version shouldn't be far behind.
You should not stick with this phone if you are hoping for a ton of dev support. Frankly, we're lucky to have what we have right now (thanks guys!). This is a one off phone and as such, it's more difficult to port stuff over to it. I consider it highly unlikely that we'll see any Cyanogen or MiUi love on this phone unless portability some how gets easier with ICS.
I'm not huge on installing ROM's just to play with them. I come here more for problem solving on stock + root configs, so this isn't a big deal for me. But I can understand why it's a big turn off to some people.
The ROMS for the Infuse came fairly quickly after the phone was available. Subsequent cooked ROMs then started becoming more stable just about 3-4 months after. Of course, it all depends on the availability of dev support for the SR and hopefully they are coming onboard soon enough.
Then again, if you want *more* than a few ROMs to choose from, then the 'regular' sgs2 may be more up your alley.
I NEED MY STOCK ANDROID BACK... touch wiz is pretty but i went from g1 to n1 to skyrocket and i miss some things
A second line is coming up for upgrade (for the wife) and I have thought about getting/trying out the skyrocket as I have the original att SGS2 and love the rom and dev support. Already testing out the international versions alpha build of ice cream sandwich. But for the wife's phone I don't think I want to mess with it as much though. But it DOES boil down to dev support and roms I guess. Is it really this slow in here? I love my OG SGS2 and even though we will have lte in my area by years end I wont be giving up mine for anything. I got my OG SGS2 two days after launch and at first was excited by the lte version until it was confirmed to have the snapdragon and not the exerynos. So I was glad I stayed.
So my question is has any well known devs jumped into the skyrocket arena yet? The dev section looks kind of lonely right now. I have a month to decide whether to get her a OG SGS2 or the skyrocket so I am in no rush. I saw all the threads and have followed the skyrocket until it was moved out of our sub forum, so I have read all the debates and arguing about the differences between the OG and skyrocket. Haven't been in here for a few weeks now and it looks almost the exact same developer section wise. Other than being rooted have you guys seen any spectacular advancements as we have seen in the OG SGS2? I am NOT in here trolling but just wanted to get all your inputs as well. Are you still glad you went with the skyrocket? Are you glad you didn't just take it back and get a OG SGS2? I know with lte you guys get kick ass download speeds, and in my OG I get 8Mb download and haven't had any issues streaming anything, downloading anything, or visiting any web pages. So is it worth it in your eyes for me to get the skyrocket for the wife? PLEASE only real answers, I am not here for flaming wars or "my device is better because" replies, I am not trying to stir up the emotions I have seen between the two in the past. So again please just your honest and as possible unbiased opinions. Thanks
PS.I posted this here because I run CM7 on my OG SGS2. Not sure if I could give it up though touchwiz on our (both) att SGS's gets the job done. Plus with testing out alpha builds of ICS we are in for a WHOLE change of goodness as long as the ASOP build looks and feels. Unless samsung or att don't ruin it that is.

I would certainly love to see CM7 support for this device. i think it would be tremendous oversight for it to get swept under the table and miss out on CM7.1 + CM9.
I do not see it happening .. i believe it will show up sooner or later.
Patiently holding out on purchasing "ics device." just to "have an ics ROM."
people the phone came out a month ago! i was on the SGSII forum, and we didn't have CM support immediately, it took time patience and DONTATIONS! if no one is donating, please quit crying!! You can always return the device. It is not a good look for those of in the community (irc.irondust.net; #skyrocket) that are either attempting to be a part of the solution. Da_G is looking into a port now. Furthermore, Samsung was sent an email re the release of the source code.
We will see.

We have to DEMONSTRATE DEMAND. Nothing in life is given, or assumed. At least not in the business world folks!
Instead of a HUGE thread on how to run a TMO ROM on our devices, we could request support instead on the Cyanogenmod thread for OUR device? Just a thought... not a flame
Any Dev will tell you the facts.. if he knows this device, he knows there are more than enough similarities BTW sgh-i727 and tmo sgs II for cyanogenmod to run a simple port. You guys must've not read up much .. this would be cake for those fellas.
If you want it, tell them politely and we will see it!

The Skyrocket will be worth it in the long run, I know we might not have much dev support at the moment but eventually when ICS comes to this phone officially it will grow. I'm running this phone stock at the moment and I LOVE it no lag at all, and mostly I'm loving my 55mbps download speeds down here in Texas (;

I forsee great things with this phone in the very near future..

Let me tell you why, not only do other companies have support from the actual companies eg sony, htc, samsung etc they get dev support from xda and other places.. Where as other companies relase source codes and stuff to help devs along to get things done..
LG well its a ****ing joke of a company, i keep this phone now to f about with it i have a galaxy nexus s now and am really happy. LG is depressing they boast that they have the worlds first 3D phone yet release it with outdated software. And when they finally do release gingerbread. It's fricking broken in many area's and they are not even attempting to fix it at all. Instead they decided to go ahed and release some more ****ty phones and then hyping it so they can sell it to customers and then not support their phones ...
As for source code for the Optimus 3D they cannot release it due to the copy right reasons if they release it then other companies will know what they used etc blah blah blah... BOO LG worst phone ever owned and worst choice ever made by dumb old me..
It's shyt thats the end of it and we will never see release and dev's in this community are stingy they have operating systems like ice cream sandwich and won't release it and try fix it like they do in the old desire forum. In the desire forum if someone has a leaked copy of an operating system they will relase it to the public then all devs come together and slowly but surely one by one they fix diffrent departments and end up with one brilliant working rom.. where as here oh i will show you a video with lg optimus 3d running ice cream sandwich on it and pics but won't release it cuz i am a fag... thats me done venting enjoy...

Hi every1 first of all i want to say that 2 months ago i sold mine galaxy S I9000 and i had an option: Galaxy S2 or LG P920 unfortunatly i got LG and now everyday i'm *****ing and crying like a little sissy because there's no roms for that bull**** phone.
My girlfriend still has SGS and there is plenty ICS version for my phone nothing not even one.Everyday i'm checking LG P920 section and every morning i got mad because of it. Now i'm stuck with LG because i can't afford to buy SGS 2 .God damn
i don't know what to do with this .I like the size of the phone and omap inside but i have to sell it and go back to SGS.I wrote this thread just to let every1 know how LG f..k me up , i hate LG and this 3D bull**** , so have a good day to every1
lets go spamming lg facebooks and mails
couple week ago I have the same shoes as you, confuse between sgs2 and o3d.
before I choose I try the two of them.
and I know, my heart tell me that I love this 3D bullsh*t thing.
I need something more multimedia ++ haha...
I thing beside the 3D TV, device that suitable for 3D is on smartphone, yes.. just like our O3D...
btw,of course I'm not pleased with LG about the slow update.
but you know in this forum there is a lot of great developer that help me extend to remain patient..
Most of the devs said that when ics comes out they will start deving like mad but as i see it by the time lg release it our phones will become outdated. Then all the work will go into the newer 3d max and etc shame this phone was really good. But just the lack of development from lg killed it..

Yes, you are really crying like a sissy, and I don´t understand why you blame LG for this.
LG has A LOT of problems they can be blamed about, and the delay for ICS is definately a shame for LG, but otherwise, you can´t blame LG for "no ROMs". If you say the phone is ****ty because you can´t find "lots of custom ROMs" for it? Then you should blame XDA developers (or lack of), right?
I already said this in another thread: if your hobby is to flash a new ****ty and half-working ROM every morning, very well, go look for this elsewhere, the O3D is not the phone for you, really. But please remember that while we have just a few ROMs here, most of them are stable and usable, and this IS NOT the case of many other phone models, which have many ROMs available, but most of them experimental and completely broken.
If you guys really want to blame and spam someone, let´s join forces and spam arcee, not LG, because he´s the responsible for LG in CM, and if you check his G+ page, he did a dirty half-done job for the O3D and moved on for other LG phones. It´s clear he´s looking into QUANTITY (many ported phones) and not QUALITY. And the O3D DESERVES the best from arcee, we are talking about the flagship of the manufacturer he´s dedicated to in the CM project.

LG has A LOT of problems they can be blamed about, and the delay for ICS is definately a shame for LG, but otherwise, you can´t blame LG for "no ROMs". If you say the phone is ****ty because you can´t find "lots of custom ROMs" for it? Then you should blame XDA developers (or lack of), right?
I already said this in another thread: if your hobby is to flash a new ****ty and half-working ROM every morning, very well, go look for this elsewhere, the O3D is not the phone for you, really. But please remember that while we have just a few ROMs here, most of them are stable and usable, and this IS NOT the case of many other phone models, which have many ROMs available, but most of them experimental and completely broken.
If you guys really want to blame and spam someone, let´s join forces and spam arcee, not LG, because he´s the responsible for LG in CM, and if you check his G+ page, he did a dirty half-done job for the O3D and moved on for other LG phones. It´s clear he´s looking into QUANTITY (many ported phones) and not QUALITY. And the O3D DESERVES the best from arcee, we are talking about the flagship of the manufacturer he´s dedicated to in the CM project.

That is just ridiculous the O3D was the first CM9 rom arcee created on any LG device for reasons only he knows he has chosen not to release.
I suspect this is due to the usual b*ll**** he received on development of CM7. People requesting 3D compatibility which arcee stated from the very outset that this was never likely to work unless LG released their real 3D framework. A problem he does not face with other LG devices.
Can't blame him for releasing CM9 on other LG devices I ask you 1 question could you do what arcee does?
I blame myself for not doing my research on lg's reputation. I have and will hate HTC and Motorola.. never had a Samsung device I didn't like. Should have stuck to my guns but the hardware and dual channel ram tempted me too much.... my bad really...
PS. I flashed 20c kdz and installed thiaz 2.5 stock rom and I love my phone again. Highly recommended!!!
That's all I got to say bout that...
I flashed V20c and all was going well till today when my friends and family rang me all day and my phone did nothing and then when i finally called everyone said i was ignoring them...
I guess i need to buy the samsung galaxy s or the nexsus s out right and then use my sim i can't take this anymore and no i do not want to go to ****ty froyo baseband it sucks...
I'm in the same boat as Trekfan here. Try ThiaiZ's rom, he just released 2.6. use his kernel update as well. I also applied a ICS theme that doesnt' just give me icons, but dialer, texting, and everything on my phone to look like ICS (everything but the real deal). I have also deleted every useless application off my phone, and i now have upwards of 250mb free ram during regular use. phone is much faster, smoother, stable and not missed a call once.
i know there isn't as much development and action as the S2, but then again, the 3d didn't sell over 20 million units... we're not completely left in the dark. thanks ThiaiZ!
here try it out:

I think you're wrong mate. Perhaps there is no such as a ROM for the Galaxy S2, but here each ROM is very stable and reliable .... ALL Optimus 3d developers make excellent and stable ROMs, and excellent kernels, everybody can find what suits him ... ..
I have personally tried all ROMs , and I can say that all great and very very stable
I became a fan of the Thaiz ROMs, Thaiz currently using 2.6 with the ICS theme
I can tell the phone operate and behave perfectly, and that this should be when he left the factory....
Waaah waaah...no roms! Pathetic reason to hate on a manufacturer. LG aren't faultless but they cannot be blamed for the lack of custom roms can they? Maybe you should look a little closer to home - if you wanted a handset you could piss around with all day in that respect you should have tried some old fashioned research before purchasing.
Maybe you should start a "bye bye LG" thread when you exchange back to Samsung just to really let everyone know what you think eh?
Sent from my LG-P940 using xda premium
With all due respect give me a break please ,check sgs section how many great roms sgs has .All of'em are based on ICS and the phone is much weaker than P920.
I can't figure out why developers don't wanna mess with our phone.We don't even have decent themes ops my bad except one yeah just fu...ing one that's pathetic , i gotta sell that amazing phone and i swear no more LG for me
Everyone can create a theme using UOT, with a couple of clicks.
Then it's just a matter of selecting a theme for your launcher.
It's not LG's fault this phone is expensive and therefore with a much smaller userbase than any other 100€ phone.
Great phone, negligent manufacturer
Before buying it, I already knew that I was going to have loads of problems with updating, LG is not what I call 'reliable'. But I still chose it because its a smartphone with great specs, large screens (IPS, much better than the heated Super AMOLED Plus that did not deliver a great experiences, with yellowish stais and bluish whites, nor Atrix's grayish and dark screen with the pentile martix, my second choice, just staying behind LG's NOVA, which is outstandig), tri -dual technology and 3D, the one that besides HTC's EVO we havent seen before. But the developers surprised me where LG disappointed. Right now I'm on ThiaiZ 2.6, with ICS theme (kept Prada launcher), and removed system apps, like kylereid's suggestion - and using a 20b brazillian baseband used to remove ghost calls problems on thrill, and I've experienced no problems since flashing it. It's perfect - for gingerbread. I am too craving for ICS, and LG did release real3d source code, I guess: developer . lgmobile . com/real3d
ICS update should've been released already, Jelly Bean has already been announced and we'll have official ICS by the end of agust, its too much.
I love the O3D but LG has screwed it up.
well, same history here bros.
-i had the i9000 before, i like it and the communty that support it so much, but it's getting old, so i decided to get something dual-core, bigger and faster.
-bought my girl the SGS2 beforce, we are extremely love it, fast, vivid, light and big big big actively communty, i decided to get me the LG 3D( because of 3D, and we do have SGS2 already), and i must say - this decision is my BIGGEST MISTAKE OF THE YEAR
-the 3D is not as fast as the S2, free ram is too small, cant heavy multitasking on it, battery life is terrible, and of course, GHOST CALLS, my boss, my clients and even my family and my girl started hating me because i didnt answer their calls, when i want to open the camera, it will take 3 seconds or more until the interface appears ect..ect... im too tired and fruscating of it, so i took out the sim and use it as a mp3-player..
-finally i managed to get rid off it, just sold the optimus 3D and bought the moto Atrix 2
huge huge huge differences i must say, there are over 910 MB of RAM here, install all things, open tons of apps but phone still smooth, never go under 150MB free ram (sorry but smooth like iphone 4s, even the animations are very nice) .
while both of the phone have TI 4430 SoC but in the atrix 2 apps open instantly (my op3D opened opera mobile in 2-3 second, but the atrix 2 opens it in 0.5 sec, and never auto close unless i turn off the phone or force-close), camera app opens in about 1 sec ect.......
Im not trolling in this thread, but well, you should avoid LG, and go for other brand (like samsung with the S2, moto with atrix 2, RAZR), LG is good at making TVs but not smartphone..
sorry for my bad english thought.

You guess cause they haven't... It is just the real3d sdk platform that allows devs to create 3d app USING the real 3d framework which is not released as of yet. It is stil proprietary. I querried at lg.opensource and what they said is that they have no immediate plans to release the damn thing. If you think that they DID have immediate plans to release ICS since December and they SAY they will release in summer when they will actually release it in fall if it goes like GB, then you can imagine when and IF they will ever release the real3d framework...
Never man its the goldmine of LG
Ilove my 3D phone

My mistake, so whats left is hoping Ricardo Cerqueira is still working on cm9 and using dual boot with gb in order to still have access to the 3d stuff. LG could at least release the 3d framework since theyre not willing to release ics anytime soon. Not surprinsing though, its not like LG hasn't disappointed its costumers before.
