4.4 KitKat Update Possibly Confirmed! - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Okay, listen up! I know I thought we wouldn't be getting an update, but THIS IS A POSSIBILITY!!!
We have the L9 right? The L3, L5, and L7 are getting it! So why wouldn't we?! THIS COULD HAPPEN.

The problem is the processor I think. L3, L5 and L7 hasn't got OMAP.

I fear you are right, on CyanogenMod site they said OMAP support was lacking. So, even if it's not written on stone, I fear we will be kicked out of KitKat even on CM...

I hope you are right. I would not bank on LG's words but if CM's Ricardo is indeed working on it, we should be assured of a release...

I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. It has a working CM11 ( KitKat ) port. Users were experiencing install issues at first. Recovery ended up being the problem. Updated to newest recovery, CWM 6.0.4.4, and installed fine. 4.4 implements some things not supported by previous versions. As of this post, CWM is the only recovery capable of installing 4.4 roms

Update Possibly Confirmed!
Good news! Unfortunately only are for L II, Lx
sorry for my bad English! xD

It's two sided. Because of our OMAP chipset, we shouldn't get 4.4 update, but look on the bright side - l9 is the strongest of L series, so why shouldn't we get that update? I mean, what policy LG is using if we won't? Even freaking L3 is getting the update, the oldest L series phone, but L9 no? Cmon

I don't see why you're so against LG - how 'bout a brand new Nexus 5? It's great, just like OG, OG2 - there is nothing strange if not a flagship doesn't get an update to the latest firmware. It's not about LG, it's about all non-flagship phones - all of them get either customs or nothing after a year of support and our L9 got quite a good number of updates!

Because every lg I've ever owned has been thrown at one point or another.
Their habit of locking them down like fort Knox is bs and I'm really sick of being driven nuts every time I get one.

This is right P765 can be flashed with P760 kdz and P760 can be flashed with P765 kdz. BUT....
...BUT if you flash P765 kdz on P760, you will not be able to use NFC, the only difference between both. NFC option will be missing in P765 kdz as it does not have NFC Hardware.
SO OBVIOUSLY ALL P760 PALS CAN QUICKLY FLASH JELLYBEAN P765 KDZ, IF NFC IS NOT IMPORTANT. AA HA :good:!
And similarly, if P760 rom is flashed on P765, the NFC option can be seen but will not be functioning, like dead meat. :laugh: REST EVERYTHING WORKS NORMAL. Tested on my P765 at least 10 times or more.
Ye NFC is not important :highfive:

Why the hell doesn't my p76910e (USA) get the damn update? Oh I see it's because the damn corporate swine who feel as though their 15 year old kids need to get a lear jet prior to me getting a damn upgrade that would actually be competitive in the market would be cost Inefficient. I love the American Market for being so competitive but I hate that the competitors are run over that they corporate swine consume the most benefit. I would have to say that anonymous has the right idea PERIOD.

Seems it is removed from server. Not too much difference to us, since we can't download it anyway. The important thing is that it exists, and chances are we will get it someday.

Coincidence or?

I'm guessing this is on the official Tmobile site? I'm on edge right now so I'm not even going to attempt to look lol. If it's not a typo, I'd say the chances of getting 4.3 just got better.

Doubtful, international L9 would get 4.2 before T-Mobile would since it wont need carrier additions and LG would be the only one able to do the port. The P769 is near its end of life, I doubt we will get another update. This just seems like a mistype.

hate to be a party pooper but who cares? people always pining for the latest android.. half the changes are for tablets and multiple user accounts. we're better off focusing on easier bootloader unlock and more rom/kernel variety. i'd rather have a GB rom available than the bleeding edge android. to each their own i guess :highfive:

So many LG devices get KitKat update but not L9

I ve read this article in this link http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-t...te-many-of-its-devices-to-Android-4.4_id51571
It seems many LG devices get direct kitkat update, but not l9, if l9 is not compatible for android 4.4, why can't atleast get 4.3? Do anyone have clear ideas about this?
Sent from my LG-P765 using xda app-developers app
Android does not officially support TI OMAP CPUs as of 4.4 and if I'm not mistaken the L9 uses one so were out of luck. You could always try your hand at unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom 4.4 or even 4.3 build
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
Honestly there is nothing that LG or T-Mobile could put out that can touch any of the custom roms available for this phone anyways. There are a couple Unofficial CM 11 roms availible and I have not had a problem with it.
I thought atleast we would get a 4.3 update, anyway we I will try custom ROMs

I's not that the device isn't KitKat compatible, I also have an ARMv6 Optimus One, old and slow, but it fully supports running KitKat. LG Simply doesn't want to support the L9 anymore.
As I've previously stated, not here, and others have also stated, this is my LAST LG device. My money. My blood and sweat made the money, so I should be able to do with it what I want. Plain and simple.
Agreed!!! I dont think I'll ever buy another lg device again... It's my phone and I bought it out right, I should be able to do what I want to do.
Currently I'm thinking of getting a T-Mobile google nexus 5 hopefully in a couple weeks. Which I found out was made in collaboration with lg. Lol. At least the bootloader is unlockable. I guess I might look at some other devices then too.
well think of the cpu not getting anymore updates by its company which isnt lg i mean if you guys want kitkat and are on a budget get the lg optimus l90 its a really good phone that i recently got that i upgraded to

Actually, E970 should get Kit Kat earlier than the other variants
LG has already updated the User Agent Profile on its official website:
Old http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M6-D1.xml
New http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M10-D1-KK.xml
G Pro now has a similar profile and it has been updated recently:
http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E980-M10-D1-KK.xml
You can try to put different numbers instead of "970" and check corresponding UAPs

Basically, these links detail backend support details about the system for the official E970 KitKat ROM. It doesn't really contain anything particularly useful per se, but the fact that it exists shows that official KitKat Does exist for the E970.

This is awesome. I sure hope AT&T delivers on this one.
Yeah, I don't expect this at all, with how bad LG is with updating their phones, plus AT&T pushing an update out on a phone this old. I really hope they do, but I have no hope they will.
Still no news about the update for e970. :/
But the official kitkat port is really smooth and stable. I'm grateful that we have such awesome developers working for our device.
im having trouble with messaging threads on Paulicat's but other than that and wifi shutting off every once and a while the rom is better than an lg/att release of it. Their release would have too much bloatware.
