This should get some owners of the powerful dual-core Android phone excited though you are sick of hearing about the T-Mobile G2X at this point. The handset should be next in line to get some CyanogenMod 7 love at some point, but it looks like it may be sooner rather than later, according to the pictures above.
We wouldn’t be surprised if a new Android handset receives an OS update to the latest and greatest via a custom ROM instead of the official OTA update from the carrier. And there would be no difference in the G2X, and while we have no ETA as to when the popular custom ROM will be made available to the public, T-Mobile is likely months away from giving users the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update they so crave. I would be happy if you prove me wrong.
Getting CyanogenMod on the handset could only be a couple of weeks away, with those shots in the wild already, being generous. The devs need the resources, in order to get everything up and running for the G2X properly. LG has yet to release the source for T-Mobile’s new flagship phone. As system partitions vary between the two, The Optimus 2X is virtually the same handset, but it’s just not close enough. The development might be slowing down due to other factors, but it doesn’t look like it’s keeping the team for doing what they do best.
It’ll be a fine day when we get to see the G2X flex its muscles with all the geekery within CyanogenMod 7, making the powerful handset even better. G2X users, for now, you can route your phone, flash a test custom recovery image, and apply some interesting mods to the handset already. This should keep you occupied long enough until the real deal is out. If not, check outTegra Zone.
