Hi all,
out of curiosity would Android 4.0 even be possible with an LG Optimus considering the baseband T-Mobile is using for the GMS system?
Also would the hardware of the phone be enough to run ICS?
Just curios.

Yes end of the answer. Need 3D driver working. Tough

Thank you for the answer
the reason why I switched to 2.3 was I was under the assumption that the HTML5 Canvas element is accelerated but as it looks it is not really much faster than 2.2.2.
I develop a HTML5 game which should run on low end smart phones which is why I use an LG Optimus.
Ah well ...

Im getting ready to buy this phone, its the Virgin Mobile US model which to me looks to be exactly like the Optimus S from sprint. I was wondering what my ROM options were using this specific model, or if that even really mattered much. I want maximum performance for games and apps but aiming for decent battery life too, maybe something that scales and only overclocks when it needs it kinda thing (ive played with SetCPU and Milestone Overclock before on a moto Defy). Any help would be appreciated.
On a sidenote, does anyone know how Rocket Bunnies runs on this phone?

Someone from android central tried cm7 for the optimus s and said it was working pretty good.
saw a phandroid post of a rom called Xionia-VM designed for the optimus V. Ill keep an eye out for that, do you guys have any experience with this?
Here's a subforum dedicated to optimus V, it may be possible to use the ROMs from Optimus S, since they're so similar, but it might be best to ask there first.
yeah from what i gather if i use Optimus S roms the home and menu buttons will be backwards and the accelerometer wont work. @[email protected]
There are 2 working ROM's so far on the Android Central Forum for Optimus V, I'm currently running Rodmius 1.1 myself. Works great. Haven't tried Xionia yet
Hi im goin to get a sub AU$200 android phone for my bday. The two im deciding between are the lg optimus one (AU$199) or the huawei sonic (AU$188).
thanks in advance to anyone that helps
lg P500 thread will only support P500
For me the cincher would be RAM. O1 has 512mb while Sonic just has 256, even though Sonic is newer. Plus if you like tinkering with custom ROMs and kernels, community support for O1 is better than any sub-$200 Android phone that I know.
That said, if you can get an O1 successor like Optimus Net or Optimus Hub, those are like O1 with better camera but same price, so I would put them in consideration too.
I consider this same phone. I think that optimus is better, cause has more RAM.
But sonic isn't bad. I don't know, I ask each friends but I still don't know. Can you help me?
xperia mini pro \m/
surely LG O1 ... has a more ram, better screen etc....

Hello folks, i'm new to this forum and new to the world of smartphones. own a windows phone but have an inquiry about android which i'm sure my genious brothers here will have an answer to. if i buy an android device that has android 2.3 gingerbread and is not upgradeable to version 4.0 ICS, will the apps work fine on the phone. i have the habit of using my phones for atleast 2 years. so if i'm using an android 2.3 version phone for the next 2 years, will the apps work on my phone? like they wont ask for update of the operating system of the phone?
like in Iphone you need to have the last ios to install and use instagram. is the same case with android too?

Google will be phasing out old versions of android, and developers may make the switch to newer android systems as well. Currently, about 60-80% or more of the apps currently can support Gingerbread, since Gingerbread devices make up 50% of android devices in the world. (More info here.) I figure, your phone could probably be supported for another year.
If you are clinging on to a phone for 2 years, get a good one! Most ICS Android devices are not too expensive. If your phone is a popularly branded one (Samsung, HTC, Motorola), and if you are willing to take risks, you might be able to upgrade the firmware in your machine, unofficially though.
Now let me type this out for you....
Every time Google releases a new os they release the platform sdk along with the actual source code.... Next developers download these and start building their apps.... Assume that you are a developer and you set the build sdk to a higher android version say ICS then if your phone is on gb you can't run it so it is at the helms of the developers to decide to support an older platform or not.... And forward compability is possible in android reverse compability may or may not work.... Any doubts post it below I would be happy to respond sir...

What's the budget? There are a bunch of xperias with ics (some even upgradable to jb).
There are plenty cheap stock ICS phones, built by LG and Samsung, such as the Galaxy Ace. Look around for the best value for money.

lulz. bad advice. the galaxy ace came default with froyo, upgradeable to gingerbread, but if anyone buys it now it'll came default with gingerbread.
but definitely not came default with ics and not upgradeable to it either, officially.
i own one previously.
imho ace is not what op is looking for. by todays standard, amv6 phone is a big no-no.
A friend of my girlfriend said that he has a Blackberry Mobile Phone with a 100% running Android OS. Now she would like to have such a mobile phone because she loves the hardware keyboard witch is hardly found on Android phones. I never heard of it and hardly can imagine such a thing would work if I see the problems with a Android OS on the Playbook.
Is there a successful port? Where can I find a manual an a ROM? What BlackBerry Hardware would I need?
Thanks

Sprint: Motorola Admiral.. I think. Android OS, touchscreen, and blackberry style hardware keyboard. â„¢Blackberry OS is WAAAYY different and much higher security.. But anything's possible..

Now that LG has updated its low-end like LG Magna, Spirit, even Leon (which has lower specifications), etc.

Dont know - looks possibble but you must know that devices must have the same CPU, the same quantity of RAM and good if will have the same resolution of screen. All of them are difference.

Hi! I don't know much of that stuff but I saw that the LG Spirit has the same amount of RAM , same processor power but the models are different, and the resolution of the LG Spirit is HD compared to G2 mini. Any hope? ):
if g2 gets update, maybe we got to

different models of cpu - that's what makes it not possible to port.
everything must be the same or similar - but model of cpu etc must be the same.
unfortunately

I think so, though not so possible. Probably Lollipop is the latest - our phone getting old.
If you PORT it will be frightening system.
