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

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.

Hey guys,
I thought I might get the ball rolling and throw a post up here. Was a Samsung Vibrant user before I got my SGS-II on Friday. The AIO Vibrant Toolbox became an invaluable tool for flashing/rooting/stock-flashing/etc. my Vibrant. Was wondering if anyone was working on developing the same tool for the SGS-II?
If the source is available anywhere, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it myself with one of my buddies. I'm a wireless test engineer for an Android Device that's in development and we've worked on some android housekeeping/downloading/utilities software over the past few months. Wouldn't mind trying to contribute to the XDA Community.
Either way, I think it would be awesome to have something like this with the inevitable torrent of ROMs/Mods/Roots and such that will be coming.

IDK about you, but it seems pretty clear to me that he wants the source for the Toolbox, not the phone...
Thanks, downloading that now.
What about the binaries/source for the Vibrant Tool? I know I might have to check the Vibrant forums for this, but if anyone on here is a Vibrant Migrant like I am and happens to have/know the location of the original source for it, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

You're right, that was what I was actually looking for. Doesn't hurt to have a link of the SGH-T989 source readily available though either.

Sorry about that. Still half asleep. lol.
Well as the thread says why don't we ask a LG ROM builder. There's a article in android.central that says +Ricardo Cerqueira is a LG mastermind and has worked with LG flagship phones. Maybe if enough of us ask him he will probably help. I'd be willing to donate to get this going.

I mean if someone could get through to him and see if he's up for it, wouldn't mind helping out. Would love to see CM7 or something on this Optimus. Although, I am content with the current setup I got going.
Do you know his username here, or he goes by that name? I'd be willing to shoot him a PM or two to request for his help.
No I only got his Google+ from an article on Android central

Well, I guess the best thing to do is not to spam him with requests. First, i think you should try reaching out to him and see if he will respond back to you. Then if he feels the need to see how many people are eager, then we will join in to request.
I am already trying to reach out to some Devs that have helped us over at the Atrix Forum, and hopefully they will be willing to spend some time helping us. Particularly right now I'm trying to speak with the guy who did CWM for the Atrix.
I would be willing to donate to a dev to get the ball rolling.

Likewise, but let's save that thought until we actually get a developer here to support us. Step 1 is to reach out to as many Devs we know of and kindly requesting their help with our phones.
Hello P930 Devs,
Thank you for the great work so far. Things seams to be pretty stagnant for our phone waiting for CM9 stable and official ICS release.
A little background. I work for a PCB assembly shop and stumbled upon the AOKPCB ROM reading through other device's forums on XDA. I would love to port this ROM to our phone however I have no knowledge or experience to do this.
I was wondering if one of you would be willing to take this up as a project? I would be very grateful and will help in any way I can. Or hold my hand while I try and do this myself (I have no idea where to start ).
I've also contacted the ROM's team for support.
Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help.
Already supported LG devices:
LG Optimus 2X (p990)
LG G2x (p999)

Thanks NO!NO!. It's good to know that some work has been done for the AOKP on our phones. However it seams that that thread/ROM hasn't had any activity in a while.
I would love to pick up where they left off. However, as I mentioned before I'm not a developer and have no idea where to start but I am willing to learn.
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.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/page/2
LG has just informed us via a press release that they will be rolling out the Lollipop upgrade to the LG G3 next week. Starting in Poland. LG is claiming to be first to roll out the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. While Motorola has started their soak test for Lollipop on the Moto X (2014), they haven’t started the official rollout just yet. While LG is starting the rollout in Poland we should be seeing it in other countries shortly later on. For those of us in the US, it’ll be closer to December, due to the carriers.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a ton of new features. But for the LG G3, the most notable ones will be the battery and camera features that Google has added. Like Project Volta. The battery life on the Nexus 6 is pretty good, and I’m interested to see how the LG G3 does with the Lollipop update.
It looks like the developer preview at Google I/O this year really helped out the OEMs as we’re already seeing leaks of the LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and other devices with Lollipop on board and this is the third device slated to get Lollipop this month that’s not a Nexus. Wonder if LG is going to beat the Nexus devices this year? It’s quite possible as the Nexus 5 isn’t going to be getting the update til at least November 12th.
Too bad it will look nothing like Lollipop.

That's true. Lollipop is really nice looking on my nexus 7. But won't it help developers to base their roms on the release to make it look like stock?
Yeah that really upset me. Lollipop looks fantastic and doesn't look anything like it.

Nice, despite the whiners and crybabies talking about how it doesn't look like lollipop, they should have known that when they bought the skinned LG g3,why would this update be any different lol... I'm happy LG is doing this update right! Can't wait!
Sent from my LG-D851
Rooted but not a custom rom here...any idea how the upgrade for us is going to go? Do we need to go back to stock to upgrade?
It doesn't look like Lollipop, IE: it doesn't look like a Nexus device. That's a shocking revelation, and I am appalled. I figured that LG would completely scrap their own UI, and just stick AOSP lollipop on the phone, simply shocking. That said, until ART works with xposed, I'll be rocking KK. Not a big deal either way, and in all seriousness, you folks can't be shocked that LG is keeping their UI, right? Right? Just like every other OEM who skins android.
Got a Nexus 6 ordered so just unrooted and returned to stock awaiting 4.4.4, then will put the LG G3 up for sale.
Damn. And I just ordered my Note 4.
My question is when will there be a stock AOSP 5.0 rom for the G3? This phone is a monster in the spec field, and I want to keep it. I would like to flash a vanilla lollipop rom, however.
So apparently the D855 variant has a leaked build of lollipop booting with no issues...wondering what needs to be done for it to work on the D851? Are the firmwares even compatible?
+1 ....are there any d851 devs alive out there? This feels like the Jedi's are damn near extinct in our neck of the woods.

That leaked build was paid for by donations. The guy bought the build from LGBB with donations from other forum members. Be patient, CM12 is being worked on and it will be out when its ready.

I wasn't being impatient. I was merely asking questions. Of which you answered none. But thanks for the info anyways.
I would also like to see lollipop ported over to the d851 seems like theres no love on our side can a dev plz port this over for our beloved device willing to donate im sure a lot off us will ...
Really! ? The nexus doesn't even have it yet. These things take time. I can't imagine any of the devs are just sitting around saying they aren't interested in 5.0. If you really want it, s start building! Or wait quietly, but don't criticize the folks who do this for you for free!

Hoping the wi-fi calling source code is included in the upcoming updates to Lollipop.
I dont understand why some folks on xda feel the need to add useless comments in response to a question.. Would it not be better to just (putting it nicely) not respond if you can't help, instead of insulting..
You can consider my comment useless if you want. But you would be better off telling it to someone who cares about what you think.
Can't wait for lollipop!
