+1 Exactly the only reason i see is that we don't have enough ram due to their bloatware custom skin.
They just want us to buy new phones, developing software for already sold hardware provides them no money... And unlocked bootloaders makes you keep the same phone for more time and they don't make more money with that...
Guys, you're all off topic here. Go chat about that somewhere else. A question has been asked, someone needs a reply
I found another people,
Lenovo Ideapad A1, a tablet that has OMAP3622 (running with Cortex-A8 @1GHz and PowerVR SGX530), and will have official ICS.
Upgraded my signature with this info.

Hi,
do you have a source for this info. I have A1 but can't find any official announcement for ICS on it
Hi dusko_m , here are some news about Lenovo's plans for ideapad:
http://www.91mobiles.com/blog/10962/Lenovo+unveiled+ICS+tablet+via+teaser+video+on+YouTube.html
http://asiabizz.com/9694/lenovo-announces-android-4-0-update-for-tablets-in-india/
http://www.pcworld.com/article/248946/lenovo_to_upgrade_thinkpad_tablet_to_android_40_in_q2.html
Maybe something was misunderstood.
For LG Optimus Black P970:
«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.»
https://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mobile/ice-cream-sandwich-ics-os-upgrade-schedule/334420639902596
Long time.
This source has some explanation about Lenovo A1:
Update (08 Aug 2012): The explanation from Lenovo (Mark) is this: “The A1-07 model was sold in multiple regions, and shipped with Gingerbread (2.3) while the A1-107 (Type 2228-C1U) model that is shipping with ICS preloaded is sold through Best Buy is a US only model and the OTAs that you are seeing are for that system and not the prior. As there are no present plans to release multiple images, there won’t be an OTA push of ICS for the existing A1-07 models. I know that skillful people are able to load the image for the A1-107 model, and I expect that the ICS source files for the new A1 are in the process of being made available. Perhaps something else may develop in the future, but that is where things stand today….”

After all, ICS is officially possible in OMAP3622 (ARM Cortex-A8 + PowerVR SGX530)!
About LG Optimus Black P970, they are having serious trouble in keeping their word
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_black_ics_update_confirmed_by_the_retail_box-news-4677.php
Even low hardware phones such as HTC Desire C is capable of running ICS.

Is it possible? Can't post to that tread so started new one.
Found this on chinese 'ebay'. How come it's on omap 4440 SoC? Any guesses?
It's Nitro HD,don't be misleaded.
The specs on the Chinese site are way out to lunch. The P930 features Qualcomm processors with Adreno 220 graphics. The Optimus 3D (P920) features a TI OMAP 4430 with PowerVR SGX540 graphics.

What if only for US, Europe and Korea? Maybe for china & india australia & RSA p930 will feature omap4440? possible?
I don't see that being likely at all. I wouldn't jump to conclusions about such things.

I think it's possible, why not? Samsung is known to have different SoC's in the same phone brand (different model numbers), depending on the market and carrier it will be on...Take the Samsung Galaxy Note as a perfect example. There's currently 2 variations of CPUs and likely a 3rd when it finally comes to the US!
I don't see why LG wouldn't do similar. Like maybe an LG Nitro HD (P930A or P930B) for China with that OMAP4440? Who knows. I haven't heard any news about such, but it could happen.

After some discussion with a supposedly corresponding Huawei :
Link
Huawei Ascend will not the day pretending to P1 lies.
Very bad level monitoring software, I find it stupid and totally unfair to drop the newest smartphones to benefit others.
Made by Huawei do not buy, if you are not having to update software.
I recall that the Ascend P1 is always a Androis while ICS 4.0.3 final version is 4.0.4
For those who do have to with the purchase smartphone, I invite you to make a bad buzz on their facebook and twitter, to make them understand that we are not pumps money.
Otherwise I think Ascend P1 sell my benefit a google nexus, at least the updates are followed.
It's a shocking news! I replied to your post, and I'll paste it here (sorry for my english, I'm Italian and as each of us know italians speak bad english )
ARE YOU JOKING? There was a fully functional chinese beta (but not usable for european users), there is MIUI JB based, there is CM10 and you say that the hardware can't support it? Galaxy Nexus has JB (and hardware is not better than P1, same cpu), S2 will receive JB, my Razr will receive JB, i had a Sony Xperia S (that will receive JB soon) etc.
I brought P1 a week ago because it could be receive JB... oh, what a shame! I'll sell this ****ty phone and I'll never more buy a Huawei product! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!

PLEASE SIGN IN, IT'S A PETITION TO HAVE JELLY BEAN ON OUR SMARTPHONES!!!
http://www.change.org/petitions/hua...tm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created
This is the stupid reply by Huawei Device SA
We understand your frustrations and have put together some answers for you. With regards to our South African fans we have the following insights regarding the JellyBean update and the Ascend P1 device.
Firstly the Ascend P1 uses the Texas Instruments chips, we can’t get any support from Texas Instruments now.
The Samsung S2 uses their own chips, so they can update to Jellybean.
As we said before the hardware can’t support it. This means that the CPU we are running is different to the CPU in the S2 and therefore is not capable of supporting JellyBean. We understand that our customers want the latest and greatest OS, however the differences between JB and IS are actually not that big.
We do have new products launching soon and hope to ensure that we deliver the latest OS.
We value our customers and strive to ensure that we deliver the best support. Thank you The Huawei Team
P1 has the same CPU as Galaxy Nexus, maybe they thinks that we are all stupid...!
A signed my dear friend
Awesome. So joke like Xperia J will get an update due to its "powerful" hardware but P1, despite being like 15x better, won't get it because hardware can't support it. Nice trolling Huawei.
Huawei Ascend P1 Jellybean
Huawei Device SA Hi Everyone! Take a look at this page comment and link please - "We are in the process of releasing Jellybean "Developer Version" based on Emotion UI 1.5 for Ascend P1. "

Hello,
I see a lot of work being done in Original Android Development and that is really exacting to see!
I'm planing to buy a new smartphone and I was waiting to see what the Note 3 has to bring to the table, and I don't think we need 3gb of ram in any near future, and Super Amoled on Note 3 is pentile.
So for me there are only 2 options Note II or G Pro. I really like the G Pro because of Full HD screen, 13mpx camera, and Snapdragon 600 processor.
No matter what phone will I buy I will install custom rom on it (Pure Android AOSP, cm10.1 / 2...)
Now I have one question for you and one request;
Do you believe that G Pro will get fully stable 4.3 rom, and as far as the roms are at the moment are they fluid, and fast? I would totally buy Nexus device but it has to small screen for me, so speed and fluidity is a factor for me. Note II has Exynos processor but we all know how is Samsung with the source release, they just don't release it so the Note II will newer get used to the full potential...
How is LG in that department?
And I have one request. Can someone make a video of any pure Android based rom running on G Pro, so i can see that phone in action?
Thank you from hope to be soon user of G Pro!
even when I'm typing this, we're already having SlimBean 4.3 Beta. that's we can stay pretty stable. But what version u gonna buy? that's the big question. Development is in quicker pace fro E980 version, but the pace is still very slow (or can I say no go) for other variants such as E988. So, check out which version is compatible with the carrier you're using, and how many custom roms available for that version of handset. just my 2 cents
Today i see someone succesfully boot Android N on Xperia L. Which is Xperia L has a same proccesor with Redmi 1S (snapdragon 400) Maybe we can port the ROM into our device. What do you guys think about?

That's music to my ears...awesome

As far as I could gather, yes, it is possible to get Nougat.
Things we will NOT GET, because of the GPU we have are: OpenGL 3.1 / Vulkan. Those two are only embedded in Adreno 400 and upwards.
This would mean that there is a chance for problems with games that might migrate above OpenGL 3.0 (which we have).
As far as I'm aware, the differences between 3.1 and 3.0 are in the addition of new libraries, so if the game needs those new libraries 100% and doesn't offer a fallback option, we won't be able to play them.

Actually not a problem of xiaomi but of **** Google.
This is Android (and OEMs and Qualcomm) not looking far ahead to support devices. They don’t care about customers. After sale support non-existent.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5s (same age as Nexus 5) with iOS 10 and later? Because Apple made it compatible with METAL apk from day 1. Because it has hardware encryption since day 1.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5 (4 years old) with iOS 10? Because Apple is willing to!!! IPhone 5 does not support METAL nor does it have ARMv8 chip…yet iPhone 5 is getting iOS 10…minus raise to speak to Siri…it is getting 99% of iOS 10 features.
Remember, major software updates also bring with it security features beyond “monthly patches.”
So, with all the resources of software (Google) and hardware (OEM’s and Qualcomm), Android cannot support Nexu 5 and the likes?! It is like buying a laptop (since most phones cost the same) and can only use it for 2 years. That’s insane!
When will Android community wake up and demand more? Google, OEMs, and Qualcomm will only listen if money talks.
And it is this crap that explains horrible re-sale value of Android flagships!
So here in Brazil LG has recently (March 2017) released the LG K10 "Novo" (Portuguese for "new"), which is a sort of second-generation K10. Unfortunately I could not find information about it on other markets, though I read a rumor that it would be released in other countries as the "LG K20". It features slightly improved hardware (1.5gh quad core processor, 2gb of RAM, NFC, double download speed, OTG USB), a major exterior redesign (the most noticeable change is that the volume buttons were moved to the side) and comes with Nougat pre-installed, with a very different interface in general.
My question is: is this phone likely to get any attention here on XDA? In case LG doesn't decide to release it in other markets, which would seem unlikely, can we still expect rooting, custom roms and other customization for this phone in the future?

We can't tell anything about rooting, custom roms and stuff until it is released.
I can confidently tell you that the LG K20 is absolutely not the same phone as LG K10 Novo / LG K10 2017.
LG K20 does not appear to have NFC, has a quad core processor instead of an octa core, has a slightly lower mAh value battery, seems not to support USB OTG, is available in 32GB storage version too, and has more minor differences.
(Also it goes by the name LG K20 Plus or LG K20 V).
For the rest I must say the whole releasing logics of LG confuse me a lot with all the new editions, different names around different areas, etc.

Well, to be fair, the phone has been released however it appears not in every region, which is what one would expect. I have no clue if they are still planning to.
