LG Optimus Black is an Android device with 512MB of RAM and 2GB internal memory. It’s powered by 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor. It was initially released in 2011 with Android v2.2 Froyo and later received updates with v2.3.4 Gingerbread and finally v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. But it’s upgradable upto Android v4.4.4 KitKat using custom ROMs.
I found a couple ROMs that offer Android v4.4.4 KitKat. You’re invited to try those on your LG Optimus Black P970. But keep in mind that you’re trying them at your own risk.
