Jelly Bean for LGOG

Expect it very soon. Got a good word this morning. Don't know much, just that we should get it very soon. Within a few weeks but could possibly be this week.

I'm glad your LG rep is actually worth a darn. Ours always came around and talked up the LG products but never knew much about them. We got some laughs when he told us Apple stole the iPhone design from LG. And honestly, they might have. But this guy was 1000% LG is better than everything, regardless of what it was.
Never gave us any insight on oncoming updates or new releases or anything, but he'll argue with you til you're blue in the face if you tell him a Samsung TV is better than an LG for any reason given.

Good news? You mean great news. But I am betting 3-4 weeks. I really want to be proved wrong. Jb update means new stuff to not be bored for a few weeks. Then it mean jb source and new stuff to not be bored for a long time. This phone could beat my 6 month record for a phone!

Thanks for the update!

great newwwwws!!

has anyone actually seen jelly bean running on an Optimus G yet? I know it's been released in South Korea, but I've been trying to find a changelog or something that actually shows the new features. I've been checking youtube everyday to see if there are videos of the new software, but nothing yet... which seems weird to me
does anyone have a changelog or even a video of the official jelly bean update running on an Optimus G?

I guess it's something. I wish LG would release a changelog so we can see the official features that are added. I think there is one at the Korean LG website, but I tried Google Translate on it and it didn't translate it very well..

It doesn't show a lot, but some of the features there look pretty slick. I liked the translate feature from the Camera, that looks pretty awesome.
EDIT: Do you think that this is due to the Optimus G Pro announcement? The two phones seem very similar and it makes sense that rolling out the one device with JB at the same time that they are updating the other is logical and fairly easy, right? Or am I stuipd? (see what I did there?)

Yeah that makes sense actually. I think the specs are relatively the same for both devices (obviously Pro is a bit faster and powerful, but I think besides the bump in clock speed, everything else is the same), and even then, I've heard the phones are the same but the Pro is just overclocked with the same processor. Here's an excerpt from the Engadget article when the Pro was announced:
There's now a quicker, 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, a heftier 3,000mAh battery and Jelly Bean (albeit Android 4.1, not 4.2) out of the box. Other elements are familiar carryovers, such as the 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel camera, 32GB of built-in storage, a microSDXC slot and LTE
Click to expand...

So looks like the same chip, so my guess would be that it's just overclocked, so hopefully the Jelly Bean update will come soon. I think the Pro is set to release in April...hope they don't keep us waiting that long

http://androidos.in/2013/01/lg-optimus-g-worldwide-roll-out-begins-with-jelly-bean-on-board/
Looks like this might have something to do with it as well. The standard OG is rolling out to 50 countries with JB pre-loaded.

We did it with motorola, nothing changed, nothing helped, with over 8000 people with us, from users of dext/cliq way up to the atrix, they still did nothing, so tell me, what makes you think LG, which ia worse than motorola, to update devices, listen to it? Not being pessimist, just realist.

It is considerably easier to update a nexus device than a non nexus device, since all a nexus device needs is for the device specific repos to be compatible with the newest OS, but LG has to customize the software, which takes more time and effort. The newest OS on their flagship G2 is 4.2.2. I guess their department simply isn't large enough to keep up with the others.

Same version strings, same sources, same first-day update, no difference in any software or hardware compared to any US model. The only interaction Sprint has is provisioning, PRL/profile updating, and obviously service, but there's no option for Sprint firmware updates. It's all Google. Otherwise, a phone not bought from Sprint wouldn't work.

I agree with everything except sprints and googles part when it came time for the 4 3 update for that phone... Sprint wouldn't release new binaries which made it impossible for Google to update it...which was why we got crappy data when we moved on to 4.3 but..at any result me and a few other people contacted Google sprint and Samsung which they all pointed the finger at one another...which leads me to believe it was on sprint and that's why it didn't get the nexus 4 when it came out...CDMA lol...

VZW and Sprint Nexus sources and binaries were separate from the get-go. Every Nexus 5 has Sprint support in binaries and sources.

I've signed, but I've almost given up hope of us getting an update. Luckily we have some excellent developers who have some outstanding custom ROMs available to us!
I highly recommend the OmniRom and LiquidSmooth ROMs.

LG Canada has confirmed that KitKat is coming to the G2 in Spring 2014 but would not comment on an upgrade path for us Optimus G users

LS980 4.4 update thread ZVC is here

Figured i would start this thread seeing as the Verizon has its own now. This way all of the sprint rumors, speculation and or whatever involving the 4.4 update can be put here. This way we are not digging through so many pages to find a few that relate to the sprint variant.

It's weird, Sprint is usually super quick at updates, if not first. Oh well, I think it will be soon, I can feel it.

From the same site. I saw this also reported on a couple other sites too but don't have the links. I'm betting Sprint is going to hold it but have no clue why. Maybe to push GS5 sales, but I have no clue why someone would want that phone.

LG has already given KK to Sprint. They've been testing it for a while now. It's up to them to finalize and Ok it now. The Flex has been out on Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T for a month and 2 of them have updated the G2.

In LG's defense, when KitKat released in November, some variant's of the m7(HTC One) were still on 4.1.2. LG would have been stupid to update 4.3, it would have been a flagrant waste of money. LG knew in August of the existence of Kitkat(because PDK, and Nexus 5), so they just focused on delivering KitKat, and skipping 4.3. Hell, the Note 10.1 is skipping 4.2 AND 4.3, and going straight to KitKat.

from what i am seeing and hearing, No. you will have to .tot back to stock in order to take ota. or if those apps were backed up in titanium you may be able to restore them and take ota. Not sure on the last one though.

I suspect part of wait for 4.4 is that Sprint put a lot of resources into the 4.2 Spark Update when they would have been otherwise testing KK, other carriers were able to get more QA time on the new release and Sprint is playing catchup. (Personally, I wish they'd waited for KK to do Spark)

Here's the official page from T-Mobile: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates
And, you'll notice no mention of the S4 as of today.

Any day now.......... any day.
Then the real fun is going to start when people with their borked phones are going to start belly aching because they tried to install custom lollipop roms before and now the update won't take unless they revert back to stock form.
I got over lollipop with wife's Note 3, so I'm in no hurry to lollipop my S4.
When it gets here - it gets here.

Not sure, it kinda makes sense though.

im kinda excited about this Android 6. Korean buddies are the 1st lucky guys who already received M 6.0.1 for their S6 2 days ago.
M is reported to have better performance, none (or less) ram leaked, longer battery life and, one of the most importance for me, much faster finger scan response.

I doubt it, its usually 1 month after next iteration of the phone is released (S7)

Lol this post is
How is it "confirmed" if some dumb/clueless rep guesstimated it's release date?? No, just no guy... SMH

Leaked documentation that has been covered at a number of sites (here is the first that I saw http://www.mobipicker.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-s6-edge-s5-note5-note-4-android-marshmallow-update/ ) shows that the release will be going out to carriers between February and April, so this isn't that unrealistic. And it has already rolled out in Korea.
The unknown part about this is how long Sprint will take to have this out via OTA. If they are already working on a build and are just waiting for a final update, this could be spot on.

If we could just make a kernel, we can start porting it

Does Sprint not do RDF files for their builds anymore? Haven't seen anything for ages and neither OJ7 nor OL1 had one. It was so nice in the past to see them actively working on things that way.

I have never understood why it is considered bad form on XDA to rush a developer to get a new ROM out; but the very same people expect Sprint to rush out an update to millions of people across multiple countries.

If you are going to get an LG phone, why not a Nexus?

The fundamental difference in your statement is that XDA devs do it on their own time for free. Carriers, not just Sprint, make millions off their customers. So they should be held to a much higher standard. However in my opinion, Sprint, compared to other carriers, has done a good job at keeping updated. I would say no worse than any other carrier. I mean look at the mm update on the Nexus 6. Every carrier got the ota update months before ATT finally put it out. And that was on a Nexus [emoji33]
