My Spectrum is rooted and de-bloated running popcorn kernel, smooth as silk now. Froze the unwanted apps. Battery much better too. Need more dev support though.

Bought this and gave my G’nex to my son. I can actually make and receive phonecalls now.

Tried multiple incarnations of stock, numerous roms and radio combos….never worked “well”….

Do miss the hell out of AOKP though…

I actually have the Spectrum and it is a good phone. Came from the Droid X, but in anycase it is encouraging that updates are coming, but why update these things? This is a Verizon update obviously, not an LG update….Funny how Verizon is calling it a system update when 99% of what is being updated is the Verizon app package. I call this a prep update to get the apps to the same version. I bet there is a compatibility issue with ICS that they are not talking about…..

Shows you how much they care about LG products.

Heh I laughed at that too. Who knew Verizon had a sense of humor?

I find it interesting that they are pushing out older versions of Play Store and Gmail compared to what is already available from Google.

Edit: Hell even the Verizon apps are old compared to what is in the Market….sorry Play Store…
