ICS for G2x - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When are we going to get another update for Android 4.0 on our G2x. I've been messing with the alpha v3 for over a week now and wanted to give some feedback but the original post was shut down for no reason.

Its best if you ask your question in the rom's thread; The only person(s) who can tell you is the developer (unless it's publicly announced).

The ROM's thread is locked because the developers got angry at people complaining about issues on an Alpha version of a ROM. It seems pretty reasonable to me, if not also pretty unfortunate.
You can keep using the Alpha or you can switch back to a fully functional ROM until the developers feel it's satisfactory to release to the public. It's up to you

Cyanogenmod 8/9?

Hello guys, do you think our phone will ever get CM8 or CM9 in the future? I understand we have just got CM7 but I'm interested to know if we can get access to a higher upgrade! I'm getting a new phone for christmas so I'd happily join in with my G5 for the beta if there ever was one!
Thanks
i would be more than willing to help out aswell

Dudes go and check our phones forum in mad team forum all the updates are available there all our development are mainly posting there it takes a lot of time to get to XDA
i really hope so, there are so many things than could be tweaked and improved

Progress on CM9?

Anyone know if there is a place to check for cyanogenmod updates? I know no deadlines, but gingerbread is so rough on a tablet.

look at dalingrin's twitter for updates.
If you're wondering about ICS on the touchpad...look at dalingrin's twitter posts.
If you're looking for CM9, all i know is they've released a pre-alpha version of the launcher from CM9 for Devices with ICS....how far that puts them down the line to finishing it? I do not know but i'm waiting too (impatiently)
Here is the official source of CM news:
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
I would imagine any general news on CM9 will be all over once its out. I saw the news on the launcher in at least 3 different sites within hours of the announcement.

I like how that was worded, it is truly rough. Phone versions of android do work on tablets but its clearly wrong.

Agreed Leo and Scott are doing a great job at developing cm7/MIUI to work on a tablet as best it can.. But it is almost a lost cause since ics is already on a lot of devices....
I'm sure modifying a kanged ROM is a lot easier than making a port/SDK ROM as a lot of the drivers have to be made from scratch... I've given up on android on the TP till ICS. When that happens ill donate a handsome reward to the team that does it.. till then... WebOS will have to do... As I only use it for media/web I'm good for now... I have a EVO 3d for apps and such that android excels in...

@SyncV2 Primary issues are GPU rendering under some circumstances and video playback. Hope to finally get back to working on it tonight.

Hungry for new rom...

is any dev working on new rom?
you have to be patient & bare with it. It's always slow in the beginning & it picks up later on. Tomorrow I'll be switching from a N7000 to i717 but it will be well worth it in the long run.
I heard Team Kang (AOKP) and Codename want to release a rom for us. Maybe in the next few weeks or in few months, that's what we don't know.
I just Rooted, put cwm, and overclocked thanks to da-g. Check out his posts in development forums... seems to be working really well!

Source?
And our problem is that we only have a couple of devs and relatively low interest in this device all together
It's only been a month... You can't ask for a source for something and then claim something equally unbelievable. You all need to calm down. It's been one freaking month.

I simply haven't heard anything about aokp for this device when not a single dev has mentioned anything about an ics build. although I'm sure we'll see something after the official ics release.
How am I knocking the device? I like my note. It's safe to say this won't have as wide of a dev adoption as the s2, Atrix, skyrocket, and one x. Mostly due to the release schedule.

Just an FYI, I had an Atrix on day one and the same things were said about it a month after release (not much dev adoption, low interest in device, etc). So if the Atrix has such great adoption and dev support, then I think it's safe to say it's only a matter of time for this device, too.

Yup, had Atrix on launch day, everyone said the same thing. Man.. that was a long road... I don't think we had a proper CWM until maybe..4-6 months in? Lol, it was such a volatile forum. Everyone hating everyone.
There's definitely a lot of development going on there now so we good. Not as crazy as other phones though, but pretty good.

I come from the HD2. When I got the phone, it was so hard to get that there were entire threads dedicated to when/where you got yours. Every store sold out the day the trucks ran, sometimes within minutes.
It took forever to get a decent version of Android to boot up, and for an entire year we were stuck with SD versions until they finally got a hacked-up bootloader that could get NAND installed.
Even today, that is one of the heaviest dev'd phones this forum has ever seen, running every version of Windows Mobile, Android and even several flavors of Linux. I don't think that this phone will come close to the activity seen there, but if it does I wouldn't expect to have this phone completely unlocked and running as many ROMs as the HD2 any time this year.
Many people keep saying, "It's only been a month!" and I can only agree with that. I would be disappointed but not surprised to see no significant developments on this phone in the next 4 months. As a matter of fact, I really expect to see an official ICS release before CM9 hits us.
But I've been wrong before...

The kernel included with 4.1.2 AOKP by th3bill has nearly the same features (except video recording, since we can't use atrix drivers).
I am watching that thread everyday as well. I hope th3bill is actually able and willing to do something about it once the kernel reaches a stable state.

The Photon and Atrix seem to be extremely similar hardware-wise... what changes would need to be made to the Atrix 3.1 kernel source to make this functional for Photon? From what I can tell, the camera, fingerprint scanner, and radio are the differences...

Krystian has already stated that he will work on porting the atrix kernel over to the photon once it is stable enough

Hi guys,
I wanted to do that later but it looks like it will take me some more time to finish Olympus kernel. So I decided to start port for Photon. Since I don't own Photon device, I need couple of volunteers who are willing to break their phones. Also I would need someone who would manage bug tracking and possible hardware differences. I can barely track what's going on Atrix threads, so I need someone as a proxy, who would report me how the things are going. I'm looking for someone who can be considered at least advanced user with a lot of spare time. Also regarding potential testers, I'm sure there are different Photon revisions, so it would be the best if there was a one tester for each rev.
Regards,
Krystian

Hi guys, I just got photon second hand and have been doing a lot of reading to find out what the best thing I can do with it is.
Is the current work using the new open source tegra driver?
If that's the case, I would think it would be almost necessary to skip ICS & JB.

Is there any stable rom for daily use? NO.

I will just post this here in General, i would consider this as a complain, although we are greatefull for the job that every developer does in this comunity
example from CM10.X roms around in the forum
i m just wondering, those roms are not good to use as regular rom, i see many reports of battery drain, gps not working etc, what will happen if android 4.4 comes ? the developer moves to android 4.4 and leaves again a rom unfinished ?. what is the situation of the cm10.1 is it stable or again there are many open isues? i dont want to offend anyone but what i see is that we will always have an unfinished not good functioning rom... i 100% believe that in next weeks this version will be abandoned once again (CM10.2) this is what the history shows..... sorry i have been trying to switch to a costum rom since we got the bootloader unlocked but it seems its not worth like many people do so.
Anyways those were just some thoughts, if its not apropriate just delete this thread, i m staring thinking that i spent too much energy for this device trying the roms

Wow that was all one sentence. Anyways, maybe you should try and LEARN how to develop and port a ROM, as that is what these forums are intended for. Maybe then you'd realize that it isn't easy, and it's discouraging to do it for free when selfish, grabby whiners such as yourself complain about every little issue.

If developers want to jump between ROMs they can just do it and is not wrong. They are doing this for educational purposes and they are doing it for free. You can do your own ROM and stop complaining, nobody is working for you. The point of this entire site is to learn things, this is not a service.
BTW CM 10.1.3+Xposed is working flawlessly on my P778g, much better than stock. Completely stable.

well the purpose of this topic wasnt about asking someone to service me or work for me, if i could do a rom i would try at least to bring it in an acceptable level so others can enjoy my work, the current situation is everyone trys and then switches back to the stock over and over again, and this will be the only case here, unless they focus on a version and dont jump arround everytime google gives a new release. Imo this would be possible only if they couldnt use a newer version...

Yeah, I am on stock, with few apps (Google apps, Phone, Camera taking 1080p, an ebook reader, a gps navigator app) running smoothly and I consider that's good for my daily use (2h screen on avg, recharging every other day). Games are on my 10" tablet of course!

What you stated is a modified stock. If you want something else, say CM 10.1, develop for yourself. Every developer will want to work with the most recent version, 10.2. Why go back to an older version?
What you're looking for is quality like that of what Google releases Android in. You won't get that on an unofficial port to a phone. Even CM has bugs that need fixing. Don't like it? Learn to code and fix them yourself. These devs work their ass off for people such as I who do not have their skill set, and you should be grateful!

Go make your own ROM or go back to iOS. You're just complaining of WHY instead of learning HOW.
It really pisses me off that people like you think ROMs are made for them. They aren't in most cases. ROMs, a lot of the time, are made to further the knowledge of the creators/porters because they actually want to learn.
CM, PA, AOKP, etc. official releases are made for money.

That depend on preference. Most people want something new, but there're also many that want stable rom for everyday used. You can choose rom that build on stable version such as CM 10.1.3, PAC mr1 milestone.2 or event custom stock rom out there. These roms are very stable and almost bugs free.
But if you want to play with new features and some minor bugs/known issues don't annoy you, you can flash CM 10.2 or PAC mr2.
From what I read, it's not easy to make these CM roms. You need to be pretty savvy with Ubuntu and know how to use terminal. I saw a YouTube video and it confused me after 5 minutes....lol. The devs deserve so much respect!
