Develop Bugs

[Q] Do you think we'll get another OTA update?

With the agonizing teeth-pulling feeling we all had waiting for JB on our phones, does anyone expect or think that we will get another update from LG for this phone?
Whether an incremental bugfix or a JB update to 4.2.2, just curious who thinks they'll officially release another update for us LGOG users. Discuss...

I cant imagine seeing 4.2 until at least the GS4 drops. At this point, only the N4 has 4.2, right?

I thought the note 2 was rocking 4.2?

No smartphone has 4.2 at this point but Nexus devices. I do believe there is a tablet or two that have them(Asus I think is one of them).
S4 will ship with it in the US in May. Htc One will update to it around June. At that point we might have Key Lime Pie in the new Motorola being rumored. I would assume LG will update this device to 4.2 in June or July....maybe later. This phone will still be LG's flagship phone then. Only recently has it had a global launch.
The only way a device can stay relevant when phones with superior hardware are available is better software(Apple's philosophy on phones & computers). It is also cheaper than making a new flagship phone every quarter. So even if LG doesn't update, it would probably be wise for them to.

When asking about 4.2 on twitter, LG Nordic replied "More info about updates for Optimus G coming soon". So with some luck ^^

maybe we'll see a pro pack upgrade like the Optimus G Pro got... and they bring 4.2.2 with it. unless KLP drops very soon... I dont think this phone will ever see a KLP update(officially).
AOSP will surely carry us along for the good updates.

From what I got from my LG rep, The LGOG will see some type of Pro Pack Update. Didn't get anything else though.

What is this pro pack you speak of?

When LG release a firmware, they release a firmware, not just an android update.
Try installing CM10.1 after flashing LG 4.1.2 firmware and you ll see a big difference on battery consumption.
I get 6h of web browsing instead of 4h with the same CM10.1 on the same phone... only thing that changed is the firmware that have been flashed before.
Personnaly I dont think LG will release a 4.2, but I would take it as a firmware update anytime if it gives me another 1.5x battery

I let myself be surprised by LG.
Speculate that, yes or no, brings nothing
In any case, I am very satisfied with the G

yeah, I saw that the battery of every 4.2.2 custom rom is not as good as 4.1.2 stock rom

New to lg, but on samsung, CM is way better than TW and that's a fact.Unfortunatelly lg doesn't have all the support samsung has.It will take some time, but,in the end, CM will be better than lg fw.
LG patches pure vanilla with Gesture UI and adds specific apps(like q-slide)..how do you call that?
All manufacturers do it(samsung with TW, HTC with sense and motorola with motoblur).

My point is : install lg latest firmware before installing CM and you ll see a big difference IN CM

CM and the others are good options for those who don't like LG UI. But I have never been a fan of CM on any of my phones cause it's never perfect!

maybe now,lg roms are better,because cm is still young for our phones.but,with a proper dev team,cm will wipe off lg roms.

Maybe but even on GNEX, CM was nowhere as stable as stock or AOSP.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7

I think LG will release android 5 instead of 4.2, because our G have strong hardware. Now we just pray for it!

lol, KLP will be released later this year.until then, we will have 4.2
My source told me 4.2.2 will be available at the end of may,begining of june.But it's possible to have it earlier.

Petition to LG

We all know now about the up and coming Nexus 5, which LG is again the manufacturer. It will be launch (according to rumor) with the latest Android version 4.4 or was it 5(?) called KitKat.
The G2 is very much here. 4.2 out-of-the-box with all it's niceties.
Now we, GPro user/owner probably wondering what LG's instore for our neglected capable device. We're still on 4.1 and should be on 4.2 by now. And one could even ask if we could still see the light with 4.3, much more with KitKat.
Will a petition be of any help from GPro user to send LG a clear voice demanding support from them? Will they listen thinking that we're just small in number?
The GPro was my first LG (smart)phone and really have no idea how they are with support. Was LG notoriously sucks with updates?
Will a PETITION work?

Don't get your hopes too high, mate. They're making some really good phones, but unfortunately, they've chosen to stick to their "no update" policy. They've abandoned the Optimus G, just like they've abandoned other flagships before. The same's the case with the G Pro. As it's going to be with the G2, too. I've been really tempted by the G Pro (LG, in my opinion, have the best displays of the lot), but seeing their poor record of updates, it makes me think twice.

You didn't do too much research if you have to ask that. Combine LG's propensity to not release updates with AT&T's 6 month vetting process after its released and you can pretty much expect that nothing north of 4.2.2 will ever hit the G Pro. I'd assume once the G2 is out for 60 days there will be a 4.2.2 International G Pro update then maybe 90 days to 6 months later an AT&T update. By then no one will care and the device will have already been EOL'ed.
If you want a newer Android version on a non Nexus phone you're going to have to flash them with a ROM. Its a sad state of affairs for the Android eco-system but at least there's an upgrade path of some sort, even if its manual.

from what I know, LG has always been very very slow with update.
Better sit and wait for it. I don't think we will be forgotten.

Read this:
LG : Just like Samsung, LG hasn't issued any official release regarding updates but since Nexus 4 is getting one, it is safe to assume that others will follow suit. Remember Optimus G is very similar to Nexus 4 on the insides. The following LG devices may get updated soon.
Optimus G
Optimus G Pro
LG Optimus L7 2 Dual
Optimus G2

There arn mucht different in JB. 4.2.2 its bugs with change files management. The 4.3 GE dont work w some games.

4.2+ finally handles group sms correctly. Not sure why it's taken this long but it's much needed.

One of my favorite books ever is Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. In it, he talks about "direct actions" and "indirect actions." Direct actions involve doing something to get what you want. Indirect actions involve trying to change someone else's mind so they'll give you what you want. Direct actions are usually quicker, easier and more reliable.
This proposed petition is a perfect example of the difference. We can either spend a lot of time and effort putting together a petition hoping to change LG's mind in a month or two, or we can just root and flash on our own and have the newest OS (4.3) today.
5 cents, please.

[Q] Chances of LG updating the G Pro at all?

What do you guys think, will LG even update this phone anymore? to any version, or even another OTA value pack that will bring the cool updated features of the LG G2. The reason I'm asking is because I'm fine with stock right now, but I would love to have the speed boost of a newer version of android, that's the only thing keeping me from rooting and "Roming"? again if they still plan on updating this awesome phone than I have no reason to root and rom. What do you guys think?

If I'm honest, I'd say we MIGHT, slim chance MIGHT, see an update to 4.2. Or maybe just a Value Pack update to bring over some features of the G2.
The advertising for our device was botched, and LG even admitted to it. So, the popularity of this device, isn't as high as it should. I wouldn't expect another update, but then again, LG has surprised me before.

I don't see Lg updating the gpro specially with the Lg g X soon to be out for sell, which is exactly the same phone as the gpro spec wise. I hope Lg proves me wrong but for now Im planning on rooting my gpro rather soon. It's a shame the phone was only an at&t exclusive here in the states or else it would have been much more popular and had more support from at&t.

Is there good support for CM out there? Because of the missing sources I assume, because LG isn't releasing them, I guess.

Yeah download DOT cyanogenmod DOT org/?device=e980&type= there is a stable release for CM 10.2 right now which is 4.3.1. and nightlies for CM 11 which is 4.4.2 or Kit Kat.

And can I flash them if they are not for my device anyway? Because the LG Optimus G Pro isn't supported yet is it?

There is a leaked version on 4.2.2 China version floating around the forums, but it is way too buggy to try on other variants. We may see an official 4.2.2 update in the near future, but due to US carriers like AT&T who do like like pushing updates to phones that are not their flagship device, we may nit see that update. But, we can only hope and wait.

You can get certain features that are available in custom ROMs such as Nav bars, Advanced power menus, tweaks to the status bar, tweaks to lockscreen, you name it. Be careful though some of these won't be compatible so I suggest using the gravity box module. It has everything you may need

Custom ROM? Or Wait and Pray?

Hey guys I love the stock but I'm in the mood for something new. So I'm wondering what do people think? Should I flash a ROM and which are good? Or wait and pray the AT&T and LG release the update soon? The only problem I have is last time I had a cyanogen mod I had trouble updating when I used a back up so should I leave everything stock how it is or install a ROM?
