No Official ICS for LG Optimus V :(

[JerryScript]

LG Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update schedule dropped - SlashGear

I figured as much. They probably think its bit powerful enough. At 600 MHz, it probably isn't. If only they'd seen the Building ICS For the V thread...

So no official ics for us.. Oh well I'm still geeked to see what you, jerry and all the other IHO devs cook up in ICS flavor

I believe cyanogen team will get ICS running on the OV. but I think it will be kind of a hack job and it wont run to its fullest. It will definately be missing the features that require newer hardware that new phones ship with.

I dont believe the OV will run ICS in the way google intended. but I can see it being released as a port of cm7 and many people switching to it.

although, i hope im wrong. becuase I still have an optimus im using as a companion device to my main phone and itd be REALLY cool to have ICS on it.

I never expected it, not sure why anyone did.
VM and LG intend to milk this train as long as they can it seems, and you can't entirely blame them, the OV may be a bit dated, but it works fantastic as a cheap Android phone. It has just enough power to be a capable phone without being pathetic.

Storage space will be an issue, as will the specs, but the biggest reason we won't is that it will be AT LEAST a year before we would see it and I can't see them releasing a patch for it after being on the market for 2 years. Android phone manufacturers, and carriers are notorious for crappy post sale support and updates (VM is not alone in this). So expecting a major update that late in the game is not going to happen, especially on a phone that will be selling for $50 or less by then.

true.

I'm a bit upset that Samsung refuses to update their Galaxy S line becuase the phone doesnt have enough storage space for ICS with touchwiz. I know a certain percentage of consumers must LIKE touchwiz, but they could gain serious brownie points and recognition by releasing a stock ICS rom thats completely optional for people who want to stick to touchwiz. regardless of the outcome of that, itd turn peoples heads and im sure consumer interest and trust in samsung for after sale phones support would skyrocket. SOME carrier or manufacturer needs to realize this, and soon, and take initiative instead of being satisfied with the status quo

yeah doesn't hurt as much when you didn't expect it in the first place ..

They totally skipped GB.. so why would they ICS our OV?

I'm just appreciative that the talented developers of IHO even care to GB our OVs

Don't they have ICS ROMs working on the G1 and DROID1

Why not the OV

those are proof of concept and its more to show latest software running on original, iconic hardware.

also, those phones might have developers that are more interested in the G1 than the OV. some very clever people who are very capable of porting a rom probably dont even know the OV exists.

GB is nice considering it was ported to the ov, and it runs so great. Ics would be nice but I'm happy for now.

The Droid and G1 where geek phones, so there is much more development on them. This late in the game, it is probably a lot fewer than before, but they had far more devs than we ever had.

I LOOVE my Optimus V right now. But if ICS were to come around....I'd pounce like a Puma.

It seems this thread is oddly warped my Microsoft ideals. ICS will run better on weaker hardware than GB does. The reason for this is because of the way google is merging the 2 OS software form-factors within one OS. This is why it is so huge and is said to require 16gb of RAM just to compile. ROM devs will likely strip all extra elements not needed for their exact device since alot of devices will only make use of one mode. This duel mode nature is intended to happen behind the scenes without end-users being aware of it.

The only real reason there is no ICS for the OV is there is no profit in it. ICS will be used as bait for awhile to sell new devices.

I agree tho that CM9 will likely still be ported over to the OV sooner or later.

Every new android version is bait to sell devices. your right about that.

I seriously doubt ics will run better on weaker hardware though. maybe somewhat more efficiently in certain APIs, but not better all around.

The only MS Windows that ran faster than the last was Windows 7 compared to Vista. Vista was a dog that should have been put to pasture before it was offered to the public. Today's average computer is barely enough to make Vista run properly (it needed 64bit and 6gigs to run properly).

The 16GB requirement to compile ICS is wrong.
That was one persons recommendation to make it compile at a decent speed. As far as I know, none of the people compiling ICS here have 16gigs of ram, most probably don't even have 8.

I have seen people compiling ICS on 2 gigs of ram. Sure, it may rake 4 hours or so, but it gets the job done! We don't all have super computers

I'm afraid it's not possible to only use one form-factor, the rendering libraries are all inter-related, no way to ides. I wouldn't expect a fast/smooth ROM built from ICS for most phones till the ides of march.

Hoping that the official builds for the other phones atleast give CM something to work with in regards to drivers.
