About to pull the trigger but want to know if it's supported at all. Is there much in the way of development for the 'ol G Pad 8.3? Thanks

Check out the two development sections....pretty sure that's your answer right there.

So, i'm pretty new here. i figured that this would be the best place to find stuff out about my phone, as i'm really into hacking my devices. however, thought this site has sections for almost every device, the LG Vortex is not a device i can find almost anywhere on this site. Is there a subforum i'm completely missing, or something i don't know? Or do i just have to ask for the section to be created?
Thanks for helping a noob out.

Rooted LG Vortex, 2.2.2
um, hello?
If I'm not mistaken, the LG Vortex is a variant of the LG Optimus One released under a different name for Verizon.
so then, its would be ok to discuss it in the optimums one forum(s)?
Bump?
(IDK if double posting is allowed here or not, sorry)

Google your phone. See if it has any other names. Look for those on here.

I know, and i have. I am now fairly certain the Vortex and the Optimums One are the same, however, I would like proof from someone a little more qualified than me. I just don't want to brick this thing. I can't replace it, and I depend on it for day-to-day life.

Have you searches through the optimus one threads?

Haven't seen anything about the Vortex there. Its on of the reasons I'm hesitant.
I was recently talking with a fellow xda friend about expanding my developmental work to more/different devices and it was recently suggested that the LG Optimus G would be a good place to start. So, what im asking for is either a lg optimus g phone that someone is willing to donate or an optimus g that someone would like to let me borrow for a bit. I do not believe in 'blind porting' or putting out work for devices that i can not personally test myself to ensure that they are up to par before release. I have been developing for about a year now and have contributed to the Samsung Infuse4g forums during that time. You can check out my work from the links in the signature or by visiting the samsung infuse4g threads. You can also take a look at my source files at http://www.github.com/scotthartbti. Please rest assured that if a phone is donated, I will put in work so that the optimus G community benefits. Please PM me with any questions or concerns you may have.
The problem is, there's quite a few Optimus G out there, so which one do you want? Location is an issue too.
You can get a Optimus G for $300 of Kijiji.

Since im asking for developmental purposes, im not going to be picky... Doesnt really matter... the point of asking for a developmental phone for donation is so that i can develop for the Optimus G and not take a hit in the wallet doing so... Im located in the USA.

I believe he means there a god only knows how many versions of the handset, and they are not completely compatible.
So if you buy an E973 for example, rest 80% Optimus G users will be out.
The best choice, would be the E975 EU model. Im sure, it supports more languages ( i guess ). Its pretty new in EU.
We really need a CM dev or aokp/aosp dev here.
I know LG is knowen for slow updates to their phones. But with some gr8 devs, thats not a problem
Im getting this phone tomorrow and im a bit scared of the lack of devs here. I really hope, there will be some more activity in the devs section soon. Or els im sure im going back to HTC again. This is lg's last chance with me

Lg optimus G e975 10a,good!!

Thanks for the info. Thats why I started this thread asking for a donator optimus. I have gotten the infuse to the cm10 stage unofficially and have been maintaining it since day one. You guys need developers, find me a phone. That way the community will have more variety and I'll be able to develop on a different device. Check out the infuse forums and you will see that I'm definitely capable.
Hopefully that doesn't come off sounding to cocky.

I'd rather see some LG based ROMs... Stock ROMs are nice and all, but the LG has done a very good job with their software.
Is there anyone here working on an Ubuntu Touch port for the LG GPad 8.3? I plan on getting one of these awesomely spec'd tablets in the next few weeks, and it'd be great to have UT on it.
Thanks,
Shiggity
To add to my post here, there's work being done on port the KitKat Android HAL, and once that's done in theory UT can be ported to from my understanding to any platform easier. I'd be willing to help with such a port, but I can't do it alone. Anyone up for it?
I'm between jobs right now and have a G pad 8.3 coming in this week. I'd like to help working on this port. I've got 25+ years of development under my belt but no Ubuntu yet. Should be a fun project to get my software chops tuned up again.

Thanks for you interest in my idea! I can't code for beans, but I'm sure there's something we can collaborate on. I'm ready to start on this when you are!
interested
what can I do to help?
Skay, have you gotten your GPad yet? I'm still eager to help with testing stuff etc.

Count me in for helping, if there is anything I can do. No development experience yet though. Cheers

Sadly I sold my GPad.. Sorry to disappoint.

Considering you would have had little to contribute other than "coming up with the idea" all is not lost
I'm sure such a project will pop up
Is anyone still working on this, because I have a G Pad 7, and was looking to see if there was a port for it.
So, for some reason xda won't let me post to the development forums, so I'm posting this here, and I hope paperWastage sees it. I am curious if we could make something happen with CM11 by porting parts from the LG Optimus G PRO. It has the same processor and gpu, and I assume some other similar stuff. Just a thought for those more inclined.
I understand at least the T-mobile variety has an unlocked bootloader, and we have root for all, so why aren't we seeing a bit more action in the development section(s)?
I am not a developer just an avid flasher, so I am not keen on what makes one platform more attractive to developers but it seems to be a very popular phone. If this is a dumb question, flame away...
Just wondering out loud...
thanks,

Probably because no devs have got a T-Mobile G3,simple as that.

I just think other devs have a different device and arent interested in the G3 currently.. Hopefully that will change soon

perhaps one of them will express interest and we could raise funds to buy them a phone... been done before

We could do that, I know jcase is having a bounty for the international version of the G3 (see thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/bounty-lg-g3-d855bootloader-unlocking-t2807900)
maybe we should get him a T-Mobile G3 and have him make a ROM.
It would be cool if the tmobile g3 begins rom development now until all other variants get their bootloader unlocked. That way we wont loose much time.
