So There is a ROM For the LG Optimus One that's ICS and It works fine on It so Theoretically it should work on the LG Vortex in terms of hardware and that but, since there a bit different, and the build props don't allow it to be flashed, anyway I was wondering if anyone had one for this phone or a CM9 ROM for it, any help would be Great!

Unfortunately:

This should work for all Roms (Except ICS-based ROM's) from the Lg Optimus T, V, S, and the LG Vortex.

But useful guide nonetheless if it works going from Optimus to Vortex. We'd just have to use the files listed for Vortex I guess
 
i might be able to port it for you, but i also need somethin, i need the .bin file from a vortex to unbrick one that i have. if you can get that from your working vortex..ill see what i can do bout porting that for you guys

There is a build of ICS for the optimus V that will boot but has no connection to network and a few other glitches but it boots up and loads decently.

Do you know anything about modifying linux kernel modules? It's prolly missing the proper drivers for the radios in the device. Does the touchscreen work and basic functions or is it pretty much unusable? The wifi might be easy to get working. This Sounds like a good candidate to start with. I haven't tried it for myself yet.

Sadly I do not know anything about modifying modules. The touchscreen works fine and the wifi also worked. Camera didn't though and background did not move when going through pages. Only real problem is the lack of service though. Mostly everything else seemed to work.
 
Well it sounds like we already have a port, granted it's still in alpha for Optimus V. It looks like they are they are planning on porting to other "Optimus variants" as well. Maybe the Vortex will be on that list.

Everything seems to work besides the sensors, cell radio and camera (the camera semi works)
 
Hello all! I've been checking back with this thread periodically to see if there has been any update on progress for this possible port. I have been running bobz build of CM7 for a while now and I haven't had any problems. But some ICS for this phone would be considerably tasty! So, how are the optimus builds looking? And as a relation to that, the possibility of a port? I'm willing to test any early builds.

Thank you guys for everything that's been done so far!

I have to tell you first off that I currently do not have service on my LG Vortex. I have moved on to a Bionic. I to was curious about this nice piece of information and would like to update that I have loaded the AOSP build onto my Vortex and I have got say is everything works quiet smooth. I know the radios are not correct and camera doesn't appear to work, but wifi works great. Rotation isn't there and had to visit androidsu.com to update su bianary. But this is just a toy device that I let my son play with. I can see the devs having to do very little with this build to port it to the Vortex.

Well, the biggest problem you have is the same one that those who have the R800x Xperia Play... the ICS Beta has only been released for phones using GSM data communications. We use CDMA, and there's the problem. We haven't found a solution as yet.

You might want to look into having someone port CM9. We have it working with CDMA and 3G, and if ICS can be run at all on the Vortex, that might be your closest avenue to getting something like it.
