I'm guessing the new camera can be used, it has an improved UI so its easier to use than the one on 4.2. But really there isn't anything else that's worth it, it's either an unfinished release, or that's pretty much what Google decided to change. There are however some under the hood improvements they talked would be pushed soon at Google I/O.

Just subscribe to my thread that is stickied in the top of this forum, the link is also in my sig. I have all the latest ports from all the devices and updated pretty much immediately after there released.
So far, the camera, boot screen and live wallpaper has been ported from the Google edition phones. These (at least the camera) are rumored to be the same as the 4.3 update. To my understanding, nothing else has really been ported because there really isnt anything. The 4.3 that leaked is essentially the same as 4.2 with very minor changes most of it is under the hood.
Personally, im hoping that that isnt the final update of 4.3 that will get pushed because it is a little disappointing.

I couldn't agree more. Hence the lack of the talk at Google io just because it is so weak. Fluidity is good but they need to keep innovating.. Unless they just wanted to tie up some loose ends before klp comes but idk its sorta strange so their must be other things in the pipeline
Edit although picture quality does seem much improved in comparison to the 4.2.2 cams we currently have. IMO they seem much less grainy and just overall better.

I feel like that since jelly bean has been released it just keeps getting more "under the hood" work rather than visual etc...
I have a feeling that the upcoming versions of android is gonna be fine tuned versions of what we already have we probably won't see any major ui overhaul for quite a bit

Not just android... Running apps looks like webOS and WP8 combined. The rest looks like android only a tad more colourful. I honestly think all that translucency they're touting masks an otherwise bland and overly simplistic UI. I mean, look at those icons! They look like a 10 year old made them.

on the plus side of it the rom just needs to be compatible with our phones SoC instead creating from the ground up, that and ass bloatware of course. Maybe sooner then later.

I imagine alot of ppl will be underwhelmed when we do get JB. There's not going to be much visually different, and project butter pushing things to 60fps throughout the ui will help, but this is already a pretty smooth phone. I was seeing some lag issues, but I reflashed my current rom & everything is back to silky smooth. Don't get me wrong, JB is a welcome addition to an already amazing device, but it's not going to be like the jump from gingerbread to ics, so I can be patient. Also, as a couple others have stated, I'm loving TW over AOSP now. I never thought I'd say it, but TW is full of incredible additions to Android that I don't want to lose. I love the beauty of stock Android, but it's a fair trade for all of the functionality.

Mod that you can flash on any jelly bean rom.
Can you customize the navbar to add more buttons / change shortcuts? That's a feature I can't live without.
nevermind, saw my answer in the other thread. it's aokp based so yes it does.
Any plans to update it to a 4.2 base? I would prefer to stay on the latest.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm definitely checking this out when I wake up, downloaded and ready to go! But just curious, also yes that is toro ported and works just fine.
Edit: Fantastic ROM, has done stuff I've wanted for months.. and that's where it ends. I honestly will not use this ROM until it changes base. AOKP is the worst, that's my opinion but you got yourself a fantastic ROM here. If these apps and various other apks aren't framework dependent then I'll use some in a different ROM.
Again amazing ROM, you have done what I've been trying to do for months and namely the walkman widget is one. I hope you change the base.

It is great, but a little laggy. Will it get faster in the future? As well as this, the themes do not work. Any way to fix this? I am not trying to be mean, and by NO means am I a developer. I am amazed how you got this to work, and just want to help.
EDIT: The lag fixed itself, I dont know what happened. That is fine. Only problem is It wont reboot after first successful boot. It probably is Android Tweaker Pro. It is a great app, but also caused my stock rom to randomly reboot.

To answer a few of your questions. (Im updating thread now to)
1. I do plan on updating to 4.2 just need to update the code a bit and wait for the lockscreen to get ported.
2. Yes its based on AOKP 4.1.2
3. My rom is different because im going to take the time to keep it updated with anything new and im always constantly working on new ports to add to it. Its also more featureful, and its going to support toro and toroplus as soon as i get 4.2 working.
4. WHY YOU HATE AOKP SO MUCH? JK im using any base that i find most stable, im pretty sure im going to switch it for the 4.2 update since AOKP is constantly releasing updates for it and it will be hard to keep up with it.
5. Lag? I really have not noticed any lag besides the Xperia live wallpaper, thats sony's fault for not optimizing the app properly.
This ROM is running great. Loaded lean kernels latest stable 4.8 and all is good. A nice break from AOSP.

Oh, I've never heard of this then lol
The AOKP hate, its opinion but on both devices I've owned they been just so horrible and cheesy.. I don't like that swag button. The features are lacking. Honestly I'm on a stable base of 4.2.2, using Orca. The features are just amazing. I'm guessing because I tried the apks is that a lot of this framework doesn't really work for 4.2.2? I mean this is basically an Xperia ROM. I'm really impressed, I'm really hoping we can eventually get an actual port but I doubt it.
Secretly "I want a W8 port" love the style they use. Call me whacky lol.. But this is awesome you've made a breakthrough, or well your the only person who technically cares to do something like this. So I appreciate it this a lot man.
Edit: 4.1 doesn't bother me, we basically miss out on the status bar features. Just the base.

Just a quick note of congratulations and thanks, +Hyperrunner. I've been with Android since the first G1s were shipped, and this port reminds me of all the really inventive, well-done ports that we saw for the G1 back when other devices and models began to appear. I've been waiting for a really cool port to put on the GNex (which has had excellent but slightly bland firmware as stock from the beginning), and this Xperia port of yours really hits the spot. I think the AOKP base was a great choice. If it plays well with Linux Deploy and continues to be stable, this will become my primary ROM. Thanks a bunch, you deserve donations for your contribution to the Android community!
Thank you this ROM is pretty sweet love the look. Nice to have something other than stock for once

I love how Google stopped using different names for what are essentially minor platform changes as far as developers are concerned.
It is slightly more confusing for consumers, though, because it does make a difference for them.
DEVELOPERS:
Developer: "What are you running?"
User: "Jelly Bean."
Developer: "OK, you can see all the features of my app, then! Good!"
CONSUMERS:
Consumer: "So what's on these two phones again?"
Store Employee: "Jelly Bean, but one is 4.1 Jelly Bean and the other is 4.3 Jelly Bean."
Consumer: "Um, what?"
Store Employee: "Well, see with this one, you can... errr... wait.. I mean, wait, which one has the unlock widgets? I think that was 4.2.... or did 4.1 have it already too?"
Consumer: "??????????"

I actually like that in a sense, it is the naming convention that annoys me.
It seems like a lame attempt to try to get past the fragmentation argument "Look this many phones are on jellybean (yet we neglect to mention there are three different versions)"
Yeah that's kind of what I meant. Like on iphones when an update came out you simply referred to it as like " hey are you on iOS 5? " " nah iOS 4 " or something like that. I guess they could always name the 4.2 update m&ms and 4.3 skittles haha. They definitely could've done something better for the string of updates if 4.3 really does come called jelly bean .

I think all the little updates that android has done over the last while is what made it so much smoother . They are paying attention to the details. Cleaning up lag and changinng minor features that make it much better to use. I had the original droid but switched to the iphone because the android os wasnt as stable. But they have done a lot of work and now its just as smooth. But a much more personable and customizable os. A lot funner to use. I was debating with the iphone 5 and the galaxy s3. Im very glad I came back to android.

Some developers, just like I am, are stuck with thus phone awhile. So I'll appreciate further development. Just don't think working on 4.3 will be of any benefit. Just keep tweaking 4.2.2. It still isn't glitch free. We have 4.1.2 also for touchwiz fans. I see no point in worrying about 4.3....it brings nothing really to the table....except probably more glitches.
So I can't move on....but I agree our range of roms are working well enough.....just keep optimizing 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. 4.3 and key lime won't improve anything....just add more headaches. The t989 will probably lag out on key lime I'd guess.

I think people should just let this phone die and move on. Developers can't keep supporting an aging device forever, and the t989 has had an amazing run support wise. What more do people want? I can't see this phone running better than it already does.

The Hercules still has a another 18mts to 2yr expected shelf life in terms of being supported by tmobile, there not going to drop it anytime soon so I'm sure we can expect development to continue, like others have said some ppl aren't fortunate enough to be able to opt into a newer device so as for me, in going to continue to build roms kernels and mods for this device, Sammy is expected to bring it to official 4.2.2 , don't expect it soon but this device won't die until 4.2.2 is released, just like the s3 and note will all so updates at 4.2.2

This is a nice addition with 4.3:

People had that same negative attitude about G1 and HD2 as well and look how far and long they have come from there releases. My G1 had android 1.5 when I bought it and 2.3.7 when I sold it. My HD2 had windows phone 6.5 when I bought it when I sold it it was quad booting with CM10, Pacman, AOKP, and PA. But by all means feel free to move on to a newer "better" device. I am very happy with my GS2 I am running Hellybean, and seems faster than my buddys toro.
Yeah 4.3 doesn't look very exciting to me..yes it brings a few new features but overall there isn't much to get excited about.
But I may be proved wrong.. Well just have to see how this phone performs

I on other hand would love to see all future upgrades on this phone, Phone is still sold my tmobile so I don't see a reason why development should stop.. Also phone is well capable of handling 4.3 easily so why not? If you're like me who uses phone for emails, browsing, movies and minor gaming, This is a perfect phone.. Only thing I don't like about phone is battery drain during sleep and poor batter performance overall. everything else is just fine.. So yea I can't wait for someone to port future upgrades on this phone.

No one will disagree with you. But, if we aren't getting official 4.2.2 or 4.3 and up....development will halt or slow down at some point. Its inevitable. Personally I'll stick with 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 for now. Unless 4.3 is developed with no more glitches than 4.2.2 presently has. 4.3 adds nothing to the s2 really, so I won't run a rom that has too many problems when its no different than a previous version that's stable pretty much. 4.3 helped the Nexus 7 with its lag issues for sure, but that's it. But I think our phone doesn't have those lag issues like the N7, so 4.3 adds nothing that we don't already have.
Now key lime pie may add/change a lot.. if our phones can run it smoothly. So that may be worth all the issues porting it will bring.

KLP is said to run on a device with as little as 512mb ram, so if that's the case the Hercules should run it easily, maybe not allll the bells and whistles, I mean its old hardware and that has to count for something but I don't see why not ...I'll keep developing this phone as long as I have it, an if I can get klp to boot, I will share lol

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.
Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Well like mrdsl said cm10 is the base for many of the good rom anyway and its almost done so I would expect to see development pick up soon. Especially as att keeps dropping the price makeing this easily the cheapest snapdragon600 device making it very appealing to many more people we should see the community for this phone grow a lot.

Not cracked, just bypassed makes a world of difference and according to what I've been told from LG reps they have no plans on unlocking the bootloader or releasing any source code

My understanding is the source that came from Samsung was leaked so hopefully something similar will happen with LG.

I enjoy mine and it's running stock but rooted. I've been able to do what I want with just root like getting rid of pesky qslides bar. It's cool but I don't use it and the apps are still there so ya. If you get this phone you'll enjoy it. Either way good luck with whatever you choose!
IMHO, a phone that good, stock rom is good enough!:laugh:
Stock ROM of Gpro is great.....and optimized.
I didnt miss CM or PA at all.
Exactly . Best rom by any android company released

I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)
I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

do u kno if theres a black theme where the dialerpad, contact list and system settings are dark?
Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.
