Well there has been a lot of speculation for the next nexus device and many a lot on internet are claiming the next nexus device would be based off LG's flagship phone LG Optimus G and the new nexus would be termed as LG Optimus G Nexus....
Reports also say that the device will probably be launched next month at a conference oraganized by both Google and LG.
Given that we have used LG's remarkable Optimus One P500 series....what do you think of the next nexus by LG...
If you had the money...would buy the phone?????
Do share your reviews....
Looks like an amazing phone plus with Google giving the updates. Unmatchable

i think the only issue with lg phones is about updating roms. LG has not convinced it's customers in updating the roms. for example when GB was released, LG updated the optimus one very late and also it didn't update the rom for my region. but i believe LG is better than SAMSUNG or the other phones. I have read some reviews about 3 powerful phones in the market such az LG 4x HD, Samsung galaxy s III and htc one x. i concluded from those reviews that among these three phones, LG is the best in shape and performance and battery and in overall. so i like to see the next nexus with LG. it can be a great phone and if i have money i will buy it.

Wow, that almost looks like an iPhone : |
Not a smart choice after, you know, Samsung and Apple...
Anyway, LG is totally OK with me. As long as Google itself will update the smartphone, there's no problem if LG, HTC or Samsung build a Nexus.

How come the folks at cyanogenmod aren't interesting in porting their gingerbread 2.3 rom over to the LG Optimus One/T.
Hasn't this phone sold a few million units in only a couple of months? Also since it's such an incredible phone for the price (easily the best phone per dollar, hands down) you'd think they'd be all over it.
Anyone?
also AOSP gingerbread....nothing.....lg optimus one has a good hardware....same legend....but legend has gingerbread rom.....because is HTC!....maybe lg doesn't publish all source code??
Is it a common thing to have a new version before the official one ?

If it helps, a few people and I are going to start developing AOSP 2.2 for the Optimus S over at AndroidCentral... You could port it to the P500 then.
From what I have heard they will officially support it but it is still in beta http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043070
There has been talk that the next phone that CM would support would be the LG 2X being a dual core but no mention of O1. Sigh...

Unfortunately, the Optimus One/T is a great value but not nearly as exciting as the LG 2X. The specs for the LG 2X are fantastic. I think buying the Optimus T for $100 was a fantastic buy. However, if I had a choice of which phone to use, I would definitely choose the LG 2X.
Despite what I have said above, if LG continues to sell the Optimus One, I think they will support it. I just wish it was sooner rather than later.
Hello,
First of all i wanna say i couldn't find any thread about LG optimus sol (E730).
My question is "Will it be possible for this phone to run ICS ever?"
And by that i mean is there any chance for LG to update the phone or is any dev willing to bring an ICS rom to this device or are there ROMS from other LG phones that are compatible to this one?
I am considering buying this phone so any answer/advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Don't buy it , no Dev support and lg will take years to provide ics upgrade x
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I just bought it. I'll know more in a few days I think but so far is a decent choice for its price. The phone appeared only at the end of September so I think this is the explanation for the fact that there are no custom ROMs. I guess in few months we'll know if it will be a hit and will get better support from LG or our beloved devs. If only the phone will repeat at least half of the success story of Optimus One we'll be lucky....
It will get an official ICS update in the 2nd quarter of 2012, together with the P990 and that PRADA phone. The P970 and the Optimus 3D will get an ICS update in the 3rd quarter.
I'd like to post the Source, but i only have 2 posts, so i'm not allowed to post outside links... so... yeah, just check LGs Facebook page:
Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS Upgrade Schedule said:
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.
During the second quarter of 2012 upgrades will begin for the following smartphone models: the LG Optimus LTE, Prada phone by LG 3.0, the LG Optimus 2X, the LG Optimus Sol, the LG my Touch Q and the LG Eclipse. These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third quarter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the LG Optimus EX.
LG will be taking all possible measure to offer a smooth OS upgrade in a timely manner. The exact start dates can vary by market, as each country can have different requirements, depending on the carrier and the smartphone model.
LG would like to thank its customers for their most valued loyalty and support. Further details on the ICS OS upgrade, including their exact start dates, will be released prior to their commencement. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
Thank you.

It offers quite a decent bang for the buck, but indeed, it has very little dev support so far. I'd probably fork out a little more dough and get the P990 instead.
PS: Of course the release dates are to be taken with a grain of salt - it's LG after all.
i just bought th optimus sol and I have to say it blew my mind. I previously owned an LG optimistic one. I find smartphone with 4 inch displays to be a bit too large for me. It is very fast and I am glad it will recieve ICS after all.
Really this phone does not deserve any attention from the XDA community? There is no thread allocated but only mentioned in a few posts. That's a shame...
Probably this phone will catch attention but in the near future.
It is really a nice phone for its price
Indeed.
Dar parcă s-ar vinde numai în România.

Im new in this foro, but i no found any subforo for the movile. And i think its a good phone, although the LG support have bad fame...

Ok, so far almost no E730 user has any interest in developing this phone. The phone will get custom roms if he has a forum on XDA. A forum won't appear unless we vote too. So get all our friends and stuff to vote.
PS Thanks God for CyanogenMod... at lease we have A custom rom.

hi guys.. i am looking to buys an android phone but i am stuck between galaxy s2 motorola razr and optimus 2x. i want a phone which is closest to being unbrickable and has more custom roms etc. plz suggest me what phone should i buy. thanks
I think that the most unbrickable and mod addicted phone is o2x.. luckily lg legalized root and mods so you'll never lose your warranty
Sent by my Optimus 2x using Tapatalk
I suppose my favorite would be the Droid Razr, just because it's been getting a lot of good credit lately, although you wouldn't be going wrong with any of those phones.
thanx mate i think i will go for o2x its cheaper then the rest and tegra2 is really fun for a gamer like me. just want to know if the 512 ram is enough? specially in future after ICS update will it be able to handle that. also it had a bug in the beginning which hangs the screen and often reboots automatically. has that been solved ??
512MB RAM should be enough for pretty much anything - these days, that is. I wouldn't worry too much about it since in a couple years you're likely to replace the phone, right?
If you are going to spend the money on the razr I would suggest going with the HTC Rezound. HTC has a huge following of dedicated developers, plus they allow you to unlock your phones from their website.
I suggest you rather take a HTC.The support for the custom roms is much more important than other manufacturers. Like hobble said, the HTC Rezound could be a good choice, but there is another phone I could suggest you if you are ready to wait one or two months, the Xiaomi MI-One, for the price : 250-300Euros. (specs : Dual core to 1,2 or 1,5 GHz, 4" SLCD, 1GB RAM...)
6 months would be a record for me. lol
anyway thanks got o2x finally very happy with it works like a charm
thanx guys i finally got o2x. budget phone and i am really enjoying it. lg is not a bad company after all. had a bad perception abt them

Just a quick question.....I recently established a biz account with att with the intent of acquiring a premier android device as well as an Asus vivo windows 8 tablet and keyboard for my new abode. ..a houseboat. ....I'm curious if the android sdk software is compatible with the Asus device so that I may root the new LG and enjoy custom roms. ....also the price tag on the tablet was enough to leave me unable to acquire the new HTC one so when comparing spec sheets on the remaining att smartphones it appears to me the LG optimus is as good as it gets but looking down the forums here at xda it doesn't seem to register at all as one of the premier android devices. ...with phones like the Sony experia rating much higher....with that said and while I still can return.... have I made a good choice or is the Sony or other device there better.....? I'm not a fan of Samsung s3 so that's not an option....Thanks in advance for any input?

Have the one and lgog, the one has interesting features AMS the processor seems sharper but its not a huge difference. Vivo tan from att is RT, so it is a glorified Ipad. You aren't going top be able to run desktop applications natively.
If you can shell it, get the Samsung ativ smart pc since its a full Windows 8 version PC or if you don't need the cellular bit just get a surface pro, that's probably the best Windows 8 tablet around.
Enjoy your lgog!

It is now official! Android L will now be called Android Lollipop and the Nexus 6 is going to be a beast of a phone!!!! So what are your thoughts on the new release and how do you guys think it will affect the LG G2? :fingers-crossed:
Was considering jumping to the N6, but at those prices... haha no.
Hello G2, you're my new best friend. Sticking with the G2, and eagerly awaiting development whenever google decides to drop source. I should learn how to compile and build roms when i go back to Canada...

Not so excited because of the bootloader thing -- look at the chaos in our original android development zone.
Unless LG provides an official unlock...

give it till December and we should see ROMS opening up quick..hopefully the cyanogenmod guys will be able to make a new batch of releases asap
Maybe in a year or two
I just got my G2 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it! Didn't go for G3 since It was out of the budget. Being a proud owner of a Nexus One and 7 (2012) I'd love to get a Nexus 6. But I'll wait a year or two when budget may allow or upgrade wife's phone to a Nexus 6
I was all set for upgrading to N6, but wow. Flagship price indeed. Will think about it. At that price range, I can go for a Note 4 or Z3, G3. There's no shortage of options. Nexus was always a favorite because of the price, but this...doesn't feel like a nexus.
The g2 is ultimately the nexus 5 for us Verizon gnex guys. In terms of development and specs, the g2 is where it's at. The n6 is just too steep in $$$$.
Nexus 6 is too expensive for my tastes...
Transmitted via Geass
I first was so excited for the next nexus, willing to buy it as soon as it's available. But then I thought about it again. The screen of the LG G2 is totally enough, and the size is at the maximum for me. Gonna keep this phone so far, hope to see some updates soon, G3 design and Android l.
I hope to see a Google Experience rom for LG G2 D802.
I don't want to buy the new Nexus 6, I think LG G2 is a great smartphone!
I saw some interesting asian forum with a lot of rom for D802..
Only waiting for LG to push android L. Sorry to say this but only a fool would invest in a new phone if they already have a G2. Perfect size, yea, neither too big nor small. A ton of features and big battery to back it up, check. Plus, great CPU power. G2 remains the best phone on the market.

I Love my g2 is a fact. Nexus 6 have a dual front speaker, but the price.....565 euros???? I buy another flashgrip of Samsung, Lg. ..

Not interested in replacing my G2 any time soon but after using the L preview for the last couple months on my nexus 4, I REALLY want it now on my G2.
Nexus 9 though is looking mighty joocy and am considering getting one to replace my old 2012 N7.
I'm hoping the Nexus 6 will be available on some operators in Ireland. It's a tad expensive to buy sim free. I was planning on upgrading to the Note 4 and selling it straightaway to fund the Nexus 6 but I'm not sure.
No operators offered the Nexus 4 or 5 in Ireland so I'm thinking it may be the same this time around but hope I'm wrong.
I dont think its going to take until December for us to see an L rom. My verizon s3 had an unofficial kitkat build by november. Not even a month. This leads me to believe that we should see an L build about a month or so later, that is if we dont run into any major roadblocks such as the new baseband doesnt work on aosp LTE. Anyways, I'm jumping out of my seat for L
Hoping that since the N5 is a sister device to the G2 porting goes well.
