I ve read this article in this link http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-t...te-many-of-its-devices-to-Android-4.4_id51571
It seems many LG devices get direct kitkat update, but not l9, if l9 is not compatible for android 4.4, why can't atleast get 4.3? Do anyone have clear ideas about this?

Android does not officially support TI OMAP CPUs as of 4.4 and if I'm not mistaken the L9 uses one so were out of luck. You could always try your hand at unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom 4.4 or even 4.3 build

Honestly there is nothing that LG or T-Mobile could put out that can touch any of the custom roms available for this phone anyways. There are a couple Unofficial CM 11 roms availible and I have not had a problem with it.
I thought atleast we would get a 4.3 update, anyway we I will try custom ROMs

But the list mentions L9 II will get 4.4 update, how is our L9 similar to it's successor? Is it possible to port the update from the L9 II to L9?

LG optimus 4x hd isn't getting an update, let alone of our l9.

I's not that the device isn't KitKat compatible, I also have an ARMv6 Optimus One, old and slow, but it fully supports running KitKat. LG Simply doesn't want to support the L9 anymore.
As I've previously stated, not here, and others have also stated, this is my LAST LG device. My money. My blood and sweat made the money, so I should be able to do with it what I want. Plain and simple.
Agreed!!! I dont think I'll ever buy another lg device again... It's my phone and I bought it out right, I should be able to do what I want to do.
Currently I'm thinking of getting a T-Mobile google nexus 5 hopefully in a couple weeks. Which I found out was made in collaboration with lg. Lol. At least the bootloader is unlockable. I guess I might look at some other devices then too.
well think of the cpu not getting anymore updates by its company which isnt lg i mean if you guys want kitkat and are on a budget get the lg optimus l90 its a really good phone that i recently got that i upgraded to

Yeah, I was also thinking about getting the Nexus 5 but since LG makes it, I'll probably give the Xperia or HTC One a shot. They are expensive so I guess it's wishful thinking....lol.

"Confirmed by LG."
I wonder if and when the At&t variant will get the update.

Probably the summer...who knows...with some French carriers releasing official kitkat. I'm might put pressure on AT&T to follow suit.. We all know how at&t loves to please the consumer LMAO

French carriers putting pressure on ATT? Surely you must be joking.
This is good because a port can be down the pipeline

That link had a link to their Source, but the source didn't say where they got it from, unless I missed it. I can just as easily say LG confirmed we don't get an update but if you don't have source you don't have proof until you see what actually happens

I mean I've seen it on just about every major tech site so idk, I'm usually skeptical when I see only one or two reports, but I've seen about ten today alone.

SFR said that LG confirmed the update. Either way, this is pretty great news. Let's hope it makes it's way to the AT&T variant
I dont care if the carrier releases it(it would be nice tho) just as long as an official LG optimus G rom is out there I will put it on my phone. I just love the LG UI. I am using a cm11 which is pretty good
Actually, E970 should get Kit Kat earlier than the other variants
LG has already updated the User Agent Profile on its official website:
Old http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M6-D1.xml
New http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E970-M10-D1-KK.xml
G Pro now has a similar profile and it has been updated recently:
http://gsm.lge.com/html/gsm/E980-M10-D1-KK.xml
You can try to put different numbers instead of "970" and check corresponding UAPs

Basically, these links detail backend support details about the system for the official E970 KitKat ROM. It doesn't really contain anything particularly useful per se, but the fact that it exists shows that official KitKat Does exist for the E970.

This is awesome. I sure hope AT&T delivers on this one.
Yeah, I don't expect this at all, with how bad LG is with updating their phones, plus AT&T pushing an update out on a phone this old. I really hope they do, but I have no hope they will.
Still no news about the update for e970. :/
But the official kitkat port is really smooth and stable. I'm grateful that we have such awesome developers working for our device.
im having trouble with messaging threads on Paulicat's but other than that and wifi shutting off every once and a while the rom is better than an lg/att release of it. Their release would have too much bloatware.

The only way on fixing the double messages is to install a different SMS app and freeze the build in one

Att Galaxy Alpha g850a came with a locked bootloader. Locked bootloader, no root. No root, no device development.
If you get another variant of the device, there are a few custom roms based on stock touchwiz.

Ok thanx for answering, Dont know which version we have in europe, but i might not get a alpha at this time, a shame.
You can consider galaxy j7 as an option (If it's available in your country). It has decent power and is less costly than alpha

Yeah 2 Roms.. No kernels, no miui, no color os. No rro layers them Roms. No Roms om needrom.com
Alpha is out of the question now. Development just to bad
Sent from my Optimus G using XDA Free mobile app
Imho I think it's not that bad, we got the best roms available for the 850f. (I didn't like miui), I tried most famous ones and ended up with resurrectionRemix on my previous phone. Which I loved (once I found my way in all the little settings )
We got different kernels too and the 850F is rootable, all together this is enough "choice" for me.
If you want the most choice in roms and kernels go for the S-series.
Does anyone know if and when we are suppose to receive the new Android marshmellow update? Also, has anyone started a marshmallow build? Couldn't find any info on here. Thanks
Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
U can bet a device from 2 plus years ago won't be getting an official marshmallow update. Lg wants u to buy the g5 which will come stock with 6.0. As far as custom builds u will just have to do some googling. Don't look just to xda for ur info. There are some other decent developer sites.
I will add, this is orig dev thread, not QA or general. Hoping thus was just an accident.
Thanks

I tried it but my manifest file is not work argo I can't download source for this device
I had to send my v10 to LG for warranty repair. When I got it back in the mail it had been updated to latest mm 6.0. I got the bootloader unlocked using root methods posted but can't get twrp to flash using standard adb. Is there any possible way to root on this software version?? If not I'm gonna have to get another phone can't stand no root. Screenshot attached shows my software version. Thanks.
There is currently no method to root on the official 6.0 update. Unfortunately there is also no way to rollback to LP.
You're stuck with a lot of other good people who are waiting and hoping for someone to get this figured out hopefully soon... Including those with the tmobile version of the G5.
The general idea and hope seems to be that the method will be the same for both and it will be found/released soon!

Last I heard they were going to release to public on the 15th. Not sure if that was May. Keep your fingers crossed

I guess the 15th was a bust Am going to look into other phones can't go without root anymore!
