OGP 4.2 Update deatils - LG Optimus G Pro

Helo guys , I have just got off a friendly chat with my close friend who works for the LG Android Team in India and who are testing currently the software..
as per him the OGP E988 ( for now ) will recieve the 4.2 update by last week of Jan or 3rd week
This is confirmed info .. so another 2-3 weeks..
As he said all of the engineers are asked to prioritise updates for G2 than Gpro .. be it work or anything and engineers are working weekends to deliver for G2 first..

Such a shame after all this time we only get 4.2 (They should at least give us 4.3 with Trim function)

SO only 4.2 but no KitKit??
Can't tell Its a good or bad news ???

Better 4.2 than nothing

its bad news that take them too long
but 4.2.2 is nice update after all better then nothing
and maybe it will help our great devs port KK from lg g2

4.2 too bad

That is good news..Something is better than nothing..
OG Pro is already too awesome with the stock 4.1.2..4.2.2 will mean only better things!
Hope it releases soon.

I think it's bad news considering we are on 4.4.2 now on CM official nightly. And yes could bring great performance and New apps, but won't you still feel like **** knowing you are on jelly bean while all other phones are on kitkat, maybe even better 5.0 by June next year(2014). I say join custom rooms and forget official outdated outdates.

I know being on 4.1.2 right now seems like left behind. But I have used 4.4.2 and not so impressed. The LG stock as modified in these forums is much better than other brand stock roms and the performance is better than my experience with the 4.4.2 custom roms.

One can't just undermine the lg stock 4.1.2. With root access and xposed frameworks it works like a charm. Never had a random reboot or any freeze for the first few weeks i used it. Heck at one time i had 500+ hours uptime.
Though i have moved on to slimkat now. That's another beauty. Most stable kitkat rom IMO

first let us have an official ics build !
we'll think of jb later !
Other than a very small handful of new features and optimizations, it probably wouldnt take much to get Jellybean on the Nitro HD. This isnt a huge jump like it was from android 2.1 (eclair) to 2.2 (froyo).
i also hope for jellybean. after watching the I/O and being on 2.3.5 i see a lot of great features i would want.
offtopic, but is google glass just a camera with connectivity or did i miss something? it looked sick when they were skydiving though
Honestly, at the rate that LG is moving, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them skip ICS officially altogether. Kind of like Sony Ericsson did with going from eclair straight to gingerbread. It would make more sense, since they have put the effort into getting ICS close, why not just do the little extra and jump straight into jelly bean?

i remember reading somewhere that it would be getting ics late this summer...if it's going to take that long for them to finish it, i don't want to know how long it would take if they skipped it lol
lets just hope that LG keeps supporting this phone, even after jellybean; it's a really good phone (other than the battery life on stock 2.3.5...)
Yeah battery life on the stock gingerbread is rather sad. CM9 battery life is actually quite good now that im a couple days in.

yea, i sent my phone in and they put V11a on it....i'm actually getting a full day out of it (moderate usage, two short calls, camera app for .5 hour, texting a bit, had GPS on, "smart screen on"...etc) so i think they may have fixed the battery issues on 2.3.5....i'm hopefully going to root and put CM on it tuesday though...
this is going offtopic, lets start talking about Jellybean again?

I should rephrase that...
i hope lg will give us ICS (seems like they have), JB (really hopeful on this), and any other firmwares that get released after those two...
it's sad that they have to delay it though...
I'm tryed but we need help with unpack/change and repack CM9 boot.img. If someone can make this work, may be it's boot, now it's not bootable.
Thanks for the update. Im not sure what I can do as I am not good with that stuff but maybe someone like Hono could help?
I all ready talk to andasa about that.
You all should know that source for 4.1 will be out mid july . Right now you waste time on a sdk release that will do unusable rom.

How is your phone?

Hey guys I am so torn right now with choosing this device. I currently have sprint with a gnex, and am looking at the optimus g or the note 2. The only thing I'm torn about is developer support. I would like to know how things are on your phones as far as custom stuff. I know you can unlock the bootloader now which is huge but how is the jelly bean support for the sprint version so far?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
Custom rom are slowly coming, currently there's support for CM10, AOKP and AOSP.
LG is also providing source code, so there's way for more in the future.
as for the JB support for the sprint, you can look in the LGOG Sprint section, people there will be more aware of this!
Don't try it. I did it for my OGEvo and things got ugly quickly!

I flashed onto AOSP, so far so good. Excellent battery life on my E971. Getting 1 hr more screen time and not as much Android OS usage compared to stock. So far im at 12 hours on battery with 1 hr 35min of screen time and only at 51%. Only problem is that I miss the notification light, but thats a small price to pay for the newest OS and excellent battery life
WOW!!! I finally decided to keep the phone and now this... not good for LG Do you think they will correct this via warranty?
Correct what?
Gotta be honest with you....I absolutely LOVE this phone and dont think I'm ever going to root it. No need...its fast as all ****ing hell and the software works great. I've been rooting flashing ROM's on my past 2 phones for years and I'm kind of over it....at least for now Yeah the advantages are great but the cons are also a pain in the ass. Camera's that only half work, almost endless amounts of bugs, etc. Not to mention LG is rolling out JB as we speak.
As for how the phone is....its FASTTTTTT. I destroyed my girlfriends S3 in Quadrant and its eaten up everything I've put thrown at it (games, multitasking with apps, etc) with ease.
/\ thats great that you find it fast, I did too when I was using stock ics.. then I flased the JB rom and its no doubt faster over stock.. way more snappy.. like noticibly more as well as better battery life to boot..
Glad that I went to the trouble tbh, this rom beats stock ics by a loooong shot
Considering that everything works (at least for me it does) it was well worth the effort to install it..
Stock JB or some CM/AOKP/AOSP flavored one?
I have no doubt that JB is faster on this than ICS but I'm just gonna hold out for the official, stock JB update. It'll be here in the states in a month or so.
I loved my og... key word, loved..
Dropped it in water. :crying: gotta pay 150 to get a new one with telus..
Just got my LS970 from Sprint. I have LTE in my area so that's awesome. ICS on this phone is a little laggy. It's not as smooth as one would expect, especially scrolling through web pages with a lot of pictures. Even the FB, Twitter, and G+ plus apps tend to lag as you scroll through pics. Other than that this thing is solid. I'm liking it so far but i can't wait for the Jelly Bean update.

4.3

Ive been scouting around, and i cant seem to find any news on when a 4.3 rom will be ported to our beloved device. Anyone have any inside news on such a thing?
It's always a race to be first, so I wouldnt be surprised if someone pops out a 4.3 rom by the end of today (but I'm sure more realistically is next week). Just gotta be patient I guess.

Theres even been some issues getting it to the Gnex side. It's there but lots of hurdles to make it work properly. Seems that Cdma devices are an issue somewhat, that may be why the carriers themselves are having issues. Plus lots of new integrated security measures from Google itself.

4.3 is not worth the trouble to change focus from 4.2.2 to 4.3. 4.2.2. Roms are much more stable and there is no point in having to iron out the problems with 4.3. At least in my opinion.

Why not stay on 4.1.2? Or ICS? If stability is your thing then stick with TW. Two months from now you'll be on 4.3 and glad that the dev community worked hard to put it together while saying the same thing about KLP...

4.2.2 has a number of changes significant enough for me to flash a 4.2 ROM every once and a while. But not 4.3. Stability isn't my thing. The trade off between stability and features is my thing.

Just curious because your comment made no sense to me but the could just be me. 4.1 TW is loaded with features and extremely stable, 4.2 AOSP is kanged together but rather stable. 4.3 kanged together, plenty of bugs and not stable.
Now you saying you would trade features for stability which makes no sense because what good are features if you can't benefit from them because it's unstable. But the roms with the most features are TW roms and the most stable. Just confused about what you said cause you say one thing then go in a different direction.

I never even referred to TouchWiz. I am comparing AOSP ROMS. Particularly 4.2, and 4.3. In that comparison I concluded that 4.3 did NOT have a significant number of changes, and, or added features to put time into making 4.3 more stable, when 4.2 is already significantly more stable. Make sense? Basic logic. Never even brought up ToucWiz people.

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.

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.

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

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.

Seems like the guys on the 9505 already made a Flashable for 4.4.2 leak but if you are not on their latest bootloader wifi doesn't work...... & You know tmobile won't be giving us this update till probably the s6 comes out lol

Yeap from what I read we need the new bootloader to make WIFI works....... I hope everyone has the unlimitted data plan if they wanna use 4.4 lol
We had this issue before with 4.3. We fixed it. Im guessing we can fix this one too.

Any big difference between TW 4.3 vs TW 4.4.2 ?
I know that the 4.4.2 Google Edition Roms absolutely scream as far as real world performance goes. But somehow I doubt the TW 4.4.2 will offer a huge performance boost vs its earlier counterpart. Anyone have any insight into this?
@^ I recently checked some videos of the new kitkat update for the galaxy S4 on youtube and there isn't quite many changes. The only changes are some of the notification icons and also the settings now says 4.4.2, that's the only difference that I saw. There might be some performance boost on this update, but nothing really changed.

I believe u could activate Art instead of Delvik which is supposed to help a lot in performance..... dialer also searches from the Internet instead of just ur phone nothing 2 critical or worth losing any features over in my opinion

Yeah this was probably my first and last samsung device, they go ummph themselves.
Lets not forget emoji... finally 1 or 2 years late. I'm not a big fan but people send it in txts. So it's important to support it for me and my fam

It performs pretty well actually and it also has some big features like the new location settings, tap and pay working out of the box, printing without a third party app and they revamped some lock screen settings, keyboard, and also now has AUTO high touch sensitivity so now it can actually sense when you're wearing gloves ( which I have tested and works great)

Btw Wi-Fi should work with updated kernel not baseband, just like you can't flash i9505 kernel and get Wi-Fi...

I really wish Touchwiz would revamp their dailer, contacts, and sms in 4.4,

I'm with you. I was disappointed to not see the Google caller id in the new build kinda upsetting
