Android 4.0 code released as OS takeover continues - Android app article - Kristen Nicole | Appolicious ? Android App Directory

Can we update our phones with this or is it tablet or developer based?

 

[rcobourn]

You'll have to wait for either T-Mobile to release it built for the G2X or for one of the custom rom developers to do the same. Probably a couple weeks before a stable custom rom hits.

I would say more like a couple of months before a stable version for the G2x.

CyanogenMod has had a full functional build for the g2x since thanksgiving. its currently in private beta.. doubt it will take months before its public.

 

[rizzman]

Yeah....we are gonna have to wait just a bit longer

 

[cordsig79]

is it longer enough yet........?

So quick question.....with the Carrier IQ stuff recently........rooting your phone would not avoid this reporting metric etc that is being reported to happen?

 

[GTWalling]

With root the Carrier IQ can be removed, but I don't think the G2x has it to begin with.

Just scanned my G2x which is on stock and it does not have CIQ. Get the scanning app here.

Get a G2x with stock Froyo on the old baseband, You won't be worried about any kind of IQ concerning the phone...

 

[Scumbag Inc.]

I don't think the G2x has it to begin with.

You are correct sir. The G2X never had CIQ to begin with.

Hopefully ICS will be coming out soon.

 

[acstewart82]

I've searched all over the web to no avail. It doesn't appear that anything is coming anytime soon but I hope I'm wrong.

The only problem that the team at XDA is having trouble with is sound. They won't release the next version of their alpha until they get sound working.

 

[lindel]

I haven't been paying much attention to the development phase. I figure it'll happen when it happens. I can wait.

 

[rizzman]

We shall see how long it takes for it to drop on the G2x. I won't be holding my breath too long though.

Yeah same here. I'm extremely happy with the eagles blood rom in the meantime.

 

[rizzman]

Well there you have it....ICS in April May or June.....or knowing LG more like October. Don't think I will be sticking around much longer with LG when it comes to smart-phones. And I don't get it. The G2X is a plain vanilla android device.....unskinned and all.....and yet it is going to take as long as some of the other devices that have a custom lg skin on it? That should have been a quick push out. Stock android. One of the reason I chose that over a sense or touchwiz device.

Straight from the LG Facebook page.

LG will be offering the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS upgrade for a range of LG smart-phones which were introduced this year. The global upgrade schedule will begin in the second and third quarters of 2012, which will be followed by a global roll out.

Too little too late.

Too little too late.

I agree I'm afraid. This is most definitely not the news I wanted to hear. I'm going to ride out the first quarter or so of 2012 and see what's out there and then make my purchase accordingly. A phone running stock android should be no problem to update and I'm afraid I have indeed lost my faith in LG. I love the build quality and the tegra 2 processor is tops but I simply can not tolerate such a laxe approach to software updates.
