I need a review for the device LG optimus Black. I want it on a developer point of view, that is availability of ROMS and future expansion of the OS. How about the battery backup of the device. I sold my Nexus S and bought a Lumia the worst decision i have ever made, now again i am going for a LG Optimus Black so please fill in views.

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.
Hi, I'm going to buy the LG Optimus One, but I've seen that there more than one model: Lg Optimus One and Lg Optimus One with Google.
Anyone knows the differences between them?
tnx in advance

i think the 1 with the google branding is the right 1 as in india they sale that stuff only
exhaustive answer! eheh
Its same phone :|
Get the one with the google logo, good for showing off. the logo makes the phone look expensive to laymen
it's one and the same
So from a point of view hardware they are the same. What are the differences so? Just some software suite?
tia
nope, just some marketing move or something. every android phone actually has google in it. I'm pretty sure the ones without the google logo are from the early release batch.
The "with Google" branding means that the manufacturer is a "primary partner" with Google for Android.
In this case, it really doesn't matter since LG is a primary partner, so all their phones will benefit from this, even if the logo is not there.
There's no differences :S
Meh, I don't really like a Google logo to be on back of my phone
Hardware-wise both of them are the same.
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

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...
Enviado desde mi LG-E730 usando Tapatalk
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.

MIUI for LG optimus Sol (E730)
ICS (android 4.0.4) official with new kernel(3.0.8) is released by LG Italia (v20c):
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=7
i currently have a LG optimus one p500, looking to buy a new phone.
Im sort of thinking of getting a 'last gen' model unlocked cheaply ($300ish). minimum 4" display.
My question is what phone will be best supported by the community in the future, and will run most stable. right now my LG P500 is great for support, its so old and slow but theres still great development going on for it.
ICS/CM9 is a must (its on my p500, no way im downgrading). what phone supports this best right now? Im thinking perhaps the incredible s or LG 2x?
thanks
Probably Galaxy Nexus
Hi there!
I don't know what to do??
Am getting a brand new Korean made LG G2-32Gb at $450.
1. Should I go for it?
Or wait for some other phone like Oneplus One?
2. Will there be a price drop in G2?
3. Am into gaming and internet etc. Is G2 fine for next 2 years?
Please help :crying:
if your going to spend that much I'd get the LG G3 or wait for the LG G2 to drop in price after the G3 is out for a while.
Seems good

LG G2 is a good smartphone to buy. But as you are saying that this you are getting this phone for $450, I think its a good price. But I have seen on many portals that this product is available for nearly $430. The features available in this smartphones are really amazing. I must say that you have opted a good choice and you must select this phone for you.
I think that waiting for any other mobile will not be a wise option. The reason is that after small span of time a new phone might be available with new technology and features. At that time you might again get confused to whether buy it or not. So I think that you must makeup your mind and buy this LG G2.
