So i just sold my SGS3 for 400 bucks and wanted to give the Optimus G a shot havent decided if I'm staying or not but am wondering the top of our page says it's rocking 4.1.1 yet my phone is on 4.0.4 and even after some menial update yesterday it's stil there. Do we have 4.1.1 or are we getting it soon?
No and maybe. Thread reported for move. There's a whole section for questions, and general isn't it.

well sorry, didnt mean to ruffle your feathers. Well this could be a reason not to keep this phone if there isnt anything definitive
I've been using the optimus G for 3 days now and I absolutely love it. I've had a gs3, note 2, and a one x. The optimus g is my favorite of the bunch. I think the screen on here is the best out there. The camera however I think blows but hey there is no such thing as a perfect device.
The lack of jelly bean really is upsetting tho, not enough for me to switch phones. The international version is supposed to get the update this month. I'm hoping we see some custom jelly bean roms after it is released cuz everyone knows att won't have it out till next year hopefully before the 2 nd quarter.

Lol, no feathers ruffled man. It's just that I like my device forum to stay nice and tidy, as do a great many others
ALL GOOD
well I just used one of my upgrades im gonna rock it for a week and see how I feel if I dont fall in love with it im gonna return it and get my upgrade back. I will give this a fair shot as the keyboard and screen are awesome. I think its the UI I hate
Give it a few days! You'll love it (the ui). And I think you're one of the few that hates the camera. There's a picture thread in General full of great pictures taken with this phone.
No, the OG camera is definitely sub par when compared to the best ones out there.
I loved the camera on the One X. The pictures from this one are noticeably worse. Usable, but not great.

Agree with this. I don't have much experience with Android phones, but I've handled the vanilla ASOP-type ROMs on my tablets. This UI skin is very unobtrusive, and doesn't bog down the phone. On top of that, you have basically the nicest specs on the market right now, in the sleekest package. This phone is a sleeper. The ROMs will come. Unfortunately, the masses may not realize what they're passing up, which means fewer ROMs. Really, though, all we need are a few good Devs. I recommend waiting to see what springs up once JB is officially released on the LGOG.
Yes, the camera is not the best, but it's not bad. For most of us, who really cares? If you're a pro photographer you shouldn't be paying attention to your cell phone's camera anyway. It's more than adequate to post crap to Instagram or whatever.

I've taken and seen some really great pictures taken with this camera lol. Since when is everyone a critic about a cellphone's camera? The pictures go to facebook/instagram or to someone else via mms. It's not like they're for a modeling agency or an art institute lol. People need to chill.
Thanks Digil!
I dont mind the camera that mich the UI is just a bit cartoonish for my tastes

if the thread bothered you you didnt have to open it, so please shut up. You people over here on the LG side are a touch jerky. The SGS3 squad was much nicer. No one is offending you personally this is a forum for discussion on these things, about our phones. Its a phone not a kid stop getting so offended people
Despite great reviews people seem to treat this device like it's going to explode.
When you make a completely unrelated post about a completely unrelated device, how do you expect people to respond?

Most of the time you been running the latest android os on your device before its released official thanks to the great xda devs!
But also you don't know who is watching these threads, so all the fighting and drama queen on here not going to make somebody with the time and patience to think twice about getting or developing on this device...

Realistically the reason that LG didn't put JB on the LGOG is because they wanted to boost sales on the nexus 4.

It's like LG/AT&T/Google decided to kneecap and half-ass both devices. The Nexus has no extra storage or LTE, this has no JB or wireless charging. If they had merged it all into one phone, it would have been a beast and I promise you it would sell better than anything on the market. Every one wins. But they had to mess with the wet dream.

Nope a dev on here can add bloatware in a few minutes code it properly in a few day day so I'm sure an entire team of programmers at at&t can do this fast enough. It's marketing on Googles behalf.

? Hmmm I don't know, maybe because it's not carrier branded, a clean-slate version of Android, and significantly cheaper to buy off-contract... Seems to me like there's still plenty of incentive to buy the N4 regardless if the OG has JB or not.
Whatever the reason, I really like this phone and am glad I bought it. However, unless things change before my contract is up, I'll avoid LG like the plague when choosing my next device. There is no reason anyone can give to me...to me... not anyone else, that in my mind justifies this piece of hardware not having official JB released for it by now. The work the developers are doing with one hand tied behind their back is awesome, but it shouldn't have to come to this. I'll vote with my dollars next time and go back to Samsung. It's a shame, too.
Like what has been mentioned and discussed ad nauseum since December, this device very well could have shipped with JB if they wanted it to. It most certainly could have been upgraded by now, especially with international versions of JB out. That tells me it is 100% AT&T who is holding this up.
Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see what the devs have cooked up!

ATT is probably too busy updating the note, note2, s3, one x, and all the other big selling devices. That said, looking at LG open source site there is only one device showing more than one os update, and that was froyo to gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. So jellybean will probably be the end of official updates for this phone.
Hint's the reason to why I swtched from this to the note 2 plus the fact that it's just a sweet ass phone lol so smooth n fast has a better pic to than the LG sound is better everything is lol Lg just sucks on upgrading there stuff that's all it really is Stuiped SOB's lmao

In this case it's AT&T. If our developers can reverse engineer a hack to convert this to an N4, the mfg could have put JB on this device with the schematics and kernel files in their possession from day one. There are no two ways about it, simple as that. I mean they built both phones at the same time with almost identical specs for crying out loud..

But as far as I know, Google is mostly responsible for the N4 software and LG is mostly responsible for the OG.
Google shouldn't have anything to do with us not seeing an update, just like how the N4 users aren't thanking LG for their updates.

I'm just waiting for 5.0 to drop and you will see a ton of people converting. No one likes old news man same goes for phones why would you want to stay on an outdated OS? makes no sence.

Patience is key. You can't force a dev to make a ROM or "develop" for a device. They have lives as well. Everything is pretty close to being here.
Besides if your not likening the "Development" you can always try and make a ROM buddy. Then maybe you can see how its not done overnight.

Btw I came to this phone from the sgs3. A huge dev section isn't the only thing to base buying a phone.on. this phone has some sweet hardware. Excellent build quality, and awesome speed. I'm in love.
@Phonephan, I totally hear where you're coming from. I would have hoped for more options by now as well, but I knew what I was getting into when I picked this bad boy up and that there was the chance its potential would go unrealized. However, Rome wasn't built in a day and there have been some unique challenges that some very good developers are about to overcome. Our empire is about to be built! We've already got a solid JB build that doesn't require conversion thanks to SnowLeopardJB. There are a couple solid ICS ROM's as well (shout out to team nocturnal, nygfan, etc.) The real treats are just around the corner and if you check in to the irc chat room you will see just how close. Hang in there bro, you'll be glad you did.

Funny to think that just a few years ago modifying the OS on your phone was not an option. Now folks cry when they don't have 100 variations of the same base rom within a week or two.
Maybe buy a device you like next time. Or wait longer and not buy the device on launch day, that way you can give the dev community time to work thereby ensuring you get an active community to take care of your flashing fix.
Why exactly do you feel the need to tell us that you're leaving? Did you do any development? Write any documentation? Are you afraid we wouldn't notice you were gone?

Seriously!? We have an ICS phone that developers have transformed into an upgraded nexus 4. Other developers have domesticated foreign JB Roms so well that this phone has every feature enabled today. We may only have a few topics... But major progress happens in them. This is the height of Android options with native pure Google and branded on the most recent versions.
You can install Roms from 3 forums onto this phone... US OG, Intl OG and N4.
The conversion will really pay off in six months when this is the first device with SD card and full android 5 while every other phone has gmail 5... Converted to 4.1

Okay...
Didn't see that coming. If you look at my post I said I'm possibly getting a new phone not telling you I am and I was asking people if they felt the same. Also it's been months since its release so the fact that it's only 2 real ROMs for this phone makes me upset no, disrespect to devs obviously but it does seem like this phone is getting like no attention and it's one if the best phones out. Converting to n4 is a bit too much just to enjoy this phone. This phone was meant to be an LGOG not a nexus ..it would have been named nexus
Anyways that was just a thought/concern I had about the phone.. Don't see why people are offended?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Nobody bothered to develop ICS Roms other than pretty much stock based ones since we were promised Jelly Bean so early and obviously that didn't happen. Once Jelly Bean gets officially released, I know the devs will be all over it and Roms won't be an issue. The nexus 4 conversion is easy to do, I did it intoxicated twice. So either do that or just be patient. We're just waiting on AT&T now

As everyone has said, during the last several weeks there's been an explosion of new ROMs. No need for n4 conversion!
it seems that i chose the right moment to buy an optimus g, so with this new modified kernels for the cellphone it would be one of the best devices to run an AOSP rom, thanks for the info
soo i bough the phone and the first thing i said when i held it was :HOLYY SH*T is gorgeous and its freaakin fast, now im going to install PA3.15 i will tell my experience with the rom later
I love it. Stock 4.2.2, rooted and deodexed with .33 modem. Everything I need works no problem.

How'd you come to the decision to convert and go to a n4 ROM? To each his own, but there's some pretty good Roms in the android Dev section and who knows what else to come.
And lolol what is with the random flexing..

i like the feeling that im using a 100% stock AOSP ROM and if the device is almost like 98% identical as the Nexus 4 why not do it, its a shame that the developers do not support the conversion no more, and with the flexing lol i was bored lol
It's not supported because the long-run effects aren't known, and there's nothing wrong with the AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA ROMs we have. But good luck with it!
I ditched 33 modem. Now using 24 & 27 interchangeably. They are holding Att reception much better. No issues thus far.

Homeboy is brave for converting^
And you say you have no issues? *bravo*

I enjoyed the conversion for a couple of weeks until it started getting screwy for me. Overheating, GPS stopped working, constant signal drop and bootlooped daily. Loving RootBox, though. All the advantages of AOKP, PA and CM in one.

I was tempted to convert for the longest time. Finally got the nerve the day we got AOSP, so no need in my book. I used rootbox for a while, but it started acting screwy on me recently. Switched to liquid smooth tonight and seems even better.
Turns out, I didn't need the AOKP/PA bloat, and this kernel feels even better than Houcha's did
