Interesting. Could this mean this system dump from the Nexus 4 be modified so it can run on the Optimus G? I would love to see what sort of changes 4.3 has.
Don't hold your breath.

I think if the differences between the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G were really as minimal as they seem than it wouldn't have been such a nightmare for the devs to bring AOSP to this phone in the first place. Still, I'm being optimistic.

GSM to CDMA is a nightmare might as well just wait for source to drop.

I could be wrong but the biggest differences between 4.3 and what we have are the phone dialer and camera app, and we have those too.

Good point. And at some point the software upgrades will outgrow our hardware. I'm content with all of the development and roms that we have. I remember looking back, not being sure if our bootloader would ever be unlocked, then the cubed and shellnut came through. This phone has come a long way from its release.

It will be a while before the hardware on this phone gets outgrown. That's one of the reasons I originally bought this phone instead of the S3 when it was released....because I knew THAT phone's hardware would eventually be outgrown by software updates. But I know as long as the Nexus 4 is able to handle software upgrades, we will too. And we all know the Nexus devices are first in line with the software upgrades.

I'm brand new to the whole development aspect of Android and have never really peaked at the code so please excuse my ignorance on the topic, but why is GSM to CDMA so hard?
I would think the OS would be built in a way that it utilizes drivers/modules to offload a lot of that dirty work. So it would be something like:
(quick pseudo code so don't get nitpicky.. just trying to get the idea across)
Code:
network = new NetworkDriver('LGOG_CDMA'); //swap out CDMA for GSM drivers, etc..
network.init();
network.sendPacket(your_data_stuff);
and then it would be a matter of then at least trying and hacking the drivers from 4.2, assuming system calls don't change drastically with every minor release wouldn't this work?

I can't speak on specifics, but we had a N4 Conversion Rom for 4.2.2 and it quickly became known to brick certain phones. It was discouraged to use it.
Well my camera works with 4.3 so if we get someone on the port we would have a top tier phone with the latest and greatest Google flavoring ....

We are building from source, not porting zips. It'll be CM10.2 when ready. Also, the Nexus 4 is much closer to us than the S4 or One.
But since hardware wise we all run the same base wouldnt it be easier from any of them ? I've messed around have had a s4 ROM running with data working on my phone ...

This is just for fun, cause we all know Sprint is gonna sit on it as much as they can before finally giving it to us...
But how long do you think before the OFFICIAL Premium Suite Update gets released from Sprint?
Keep comments related to the Sprint or the update itself please. In other words... ON TOPIC.
Like I said before I think late march or april. I just hoope its not like the epic were it was a great phone and they just left it in the dust. So beside this other question would be how long do u think s3 will be a flag ship phone for sprint

I'm gonna be hopeful and say we'll get it around March.

I will say officially from sprint in may 2013 from xda devs in January. The s3 was there flagship device but no more iphone 5 and optimus g and galaxy note 2 took that crown. I highly doubt samsung care about the us version, we are only a small fraction of there business.

I will be pro life and say they will release it a month after the Galaxy S4 is released.

My best guess.. about the 30th of Feb. Just a round about guess tho.
I think it's funny that no matter how well Sprint handles updates, people ***** about it. Correct me if I'm wrong (people always do), but wasn't Sprint the first carrier in the USA to push out Jellybean on the S3? Has anyone in the USA gotten the 4.1.2 updates for their S3 yet?

While I agree they were relatively "quick" with the last update compared to other times, I've been with them long enough to know they take their time on a LOT of things, not just updates to devices.
Aside from that point, it's my personal opinion that Sprint (or ANY carrier for that matter) shouldn't even have their hands in the updates released for the device at all. They should have their own software that is required for the device to activate and function on their towers and service and that's all. If you don't have their software, it won't work, simple as that. Whether or not they add additional requirements for their software to function properly on the device is up to them as well, as it's their own software and their service they are providing, but the fact of the matter is that it's NOT their device. So as to the updates to the software and functionality of the base device, that shouldn't be at all for the carrier to decide.
Think about it from a different angle... What if Steam or Skype or some other software as a service type company said that you couldn't apply an update to Windows or update your video card drivers or sound drivers until they release their own approved copy of the update or driver... You'd laugh at them, right? I mean seriously, how silly would that be?
Now, they can RECOMMEND that certain drivers or updates NOT be applied until they are fully tested, but they cannot force their own copies of the same updates/drivers upon you.
Not trying to start a full out debate here, but just my own thoughts on the update release process and something for people to think about.
Also, there's no need for vulgarity, no one is "*****ing" or "jerking each other off" here. This is just a poll and a calm discussion about the update and hopes for how soon it will be. Please keep it clean or I will have your posts removed. Thanks.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Until someone has posted a working rom in our Sprint Development page I would strongly recommend not flashing anything cloned from another OG version. Xbox is working tirelessly under very stressful conditions(St. Louis) to give us a CM version of JB. The biggest hindrance is that are phone is different from the other OG. Actually, all the OG are different from each other from one aspect to another. We all share the same CPU. So booting isn't an issue. But, after that it really is difficult to get each thing to work. The Sprint version uses its own CDMA which is not the same as what they use in Korea. At&t has its own camera, the Japanese version is waterproof(seriously), the Canadian version wishes it was an American.
If you flash any of these roms(unless triple confirmed it is safe) you can really jack stuff up. You need to not only back up your phone but I would back up your partitions.
My strongest recommendation if you are merely a hobby flasher is to wait. I know it has been a tough long road but the finish line is in sight. We will have source for our phone(LS970) in a month. We will have the OTA in a month. If you flash anything Korean be prepared to face the consequences if things don't go well.
So, what are we waiting on? The simple and most honest answer is LG. Send them an email, blast them on twitter, blast Sprint to have them blast LG, call the development department, email multiple sources, write a letter to the Android sites online. Maybe they could write a story about it. If you put their feet to the fire they will have to say something. But, be kind and sane in your approach. The problem of getting our phone updated is not because of lack of development. We have some great guys.

Ive been looking for development on the LG Mach LS860, but I have not turned up anything besides a small thread just trying to gain support. I was wondering if any brilliant minds here knew if the LS860 is similar software or hardware wise to the OptimusG LS970? I know it has different specs, but I was hoping it would use the same chipset or similar software so that I could try using OptimusG root/unlocking techniques with a slimmer chance of destroying my phone. Haha (not worried about losing apps/contacts, just worried about having a bricked bootloader)
Thanks for any input in advance!
My justification for inquiring about this is the fact that they were released at the same time and have similar physical features, besides the Mach's physical keyboard.

With LG's horrible update history, you can be assured that there will not be anymore updates for this phone. If you want 4.2.2, you'll need to go with an AOSP rom.
I'm sure 4.3 will happen once Google releases the source for it.
5.0 will be iffy because it supposedly runs on a different linux kernel, which would require an RPM/TZ firmware update for our phone. Unless LG gives us an update to 5.0, which they won't, we'll either need to borrow the Nexus 4's RPM/TZ firmware and make it work with our phones, or have to live without the update.

Major omission on my part -- I should have said 4.3 is definitely going to be possible via an AOSP rom, if 5.0 even happens for our phone that will be via an AOSP rom, too.
LG is done with this phone. I'll never do business with LG again purely on their bootloader locking tactics and the complete lack of updates and support for their devices. If the Nexus line ever goes CDMA or Sprint, I'm game. Otherwise, I'm going with Sammy or HTC. Big dev communities with their phones.
Lg has some killer hardware it would be pretty stupid for them to ruin it since people are beginning to like LG. they are turning heads with their hardware hopefully they are smart and support it software wise because I'm tired of not having a CDMA phone that gets timely updates.

Only thing is that the CM version is only available in the 16gb flavor, which i kind of regret ordering cause i prefer to have at least 32gb of space.
Also there doesnt seem to be too much activity in these fourms yet. (The phone is still really new so its to be expected) But do you guys think there will be a lot of custom ROM development for this phone? installing custom roms is another reason i bought this phone, since my current android has a locked bootloader.

If any of the major carriers picks up the N1, I'm sure that we'll see a lot of attention here because of having official CM.
This should being a lot of devs to the phone though, just because of how open to development the phone is. I hope to see it really take off and be made into something really great.
I don't really know about custom roms though. We already have official CM and Omnirom. Then there's Oppo's ColorOS which is pretty good already. I think all that we'll really see is modifications to those environments, but nothing really unique (I hope I'm wrong about that). Only time will tell though.

Chance of any major carrier in the US picking up the N1 are slim to none - just because US carriers SUCK.
Thanks to Oppo's cooperation with the community, there's going to be much better support from custom firmwares than with most other devices.
A lot of the activity is over on oppoforums - While I usually prefer to keep all of my work on XDA and don't bother with any other sites, oppoforums is the exception as they are the official forums of the manufacturer (they are not just random fan forums) and as Oppo has been so supportive of many of us, quite a few developers spend lots of time there. (Maxwen himself only maintains threads there these days.)
I would at least like to think that the US carriers would take an example from oppo and embrace what a lot of the devs here are doing. It would also be nice to see some of the phone makers keep their boot loaders un locked as well. But wish in one hand....

Yeah that's not going to happen. Out of the major carriers Verizon has been the ballsy one to release a developer phone with unlocked bootlooaders. They don't release devices because they don't want to have to send out warranty replacements for people who brick devices.

You forget that they only did that because they were forcing devices from OEMs that previously had never locked their devices to lock them down.
AT&T also is now forcing bootloader locking - and as a result HTC now offers the GPe and Dev Edition One units. T-Mobile is forcing Sony to lock down the T-Mobile Xperia Z (not very "uncarrier" of them...). Unlike VZW, HTC can do it directly for people on AT&T and T-Mo since both carriers are GSM - stick your SIM into an unlocked device and go, as opposed to Verizon who make it a nightmare to activate non-VZW devices.
People on GSM providers are lucky in that they can purchase unlocked devices and use them. (N1 plus Straight Talk would be a great combo.)

That's exactly what I'm using. AT&T Sim on Straight Talk. I just had to refill my monthly payment last week. I think I got it like November 18th and haven't had any problems so far. :highfive:

That is the ONLY thing that has kept me from ordering a CM edition right now-- a 32GB version paid and on the way to me.
Alas, should have haunted CM and bought when it came out.
Yah i probably should have cancelled it and got the 32gb one. DHL says my cm edition will be here tomorrow though, i cant wait

I have scaled mine on color os. It's really easy to do but I had to add the build.prop line in cause it wasn't in there to begin with. Might be on cm though. I did notice 480 changed nothing, but going down to 400 looks great.

Are there any issues with the color os apps after changing dpi? No force close or anything?

I haven't noticed anything from the DPI change. I switched to omni to try it out just after though, but no weird graphic issues I had noticed.

I just got my CM N1 yesterday and so far I'm loving it. It came with two cases surprisingly, the foldover type and the CM one. I kind of want to change the dpi settings but ive never altered the build prop file before, I'll try figuring it out.
Best thing about this phone that no one really mentioned yet is that the phone doesnt get hot the way my other phones have duribg extensive gaming sessions. Love the battery life so far.
