So uhh, i dont know if anyone has seen this.. but here you go
http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-android-2-3-gingerbread-update-imminent-20110225/
It looks like a legit release for 2.3 for Galaxy S. If thats the case, how hard would it be to port it from that to the captivate?
and a march release
Oh and btw... dont flame me if its wrong or anything.. im just a guy posting something he found... which may help out the community -.-

I think this has been posted a couple of times (can't remember, but I know I've seen it around the web a couple of times). Either way, right now it's a "friend of a friend said this" type thing. Until there is some proof myself and many others will remain skeptical.
Another issue is that the Galaxy S phones are much more popular in other parts of the world. With Samsung trying to charge all the carriers upgrade fees like they did with 2.2, causing a lot of the delays, the carriers may not be interested in upgrading the phone to 2.3 even if Samsung has it ready. Especially since we're going to see the SGS 2 and multiple other newer and better phones out by then. The Captivate and other SGS phones will be low end phones by then, and the carriers probably won't want to pay Samsung for updates to an old phone.
oh man! so theres the possibility of never seeing a legit 2.3? :S i guess il have to live with CM7.
ANY custom rom will be better than the rom its based off of.
WHO CAN?
XDA CAN!!

Was it? I hadn't heard that, but I didn't pay that much attention to the AT&T release of 2.2 since I've been running 2.2 for months.
Either way, even if it doesn't come to a money issue, it's still going to come down to the same issue. The SGS 2 will have replaced the SGS by the time Samsung would have Gingerbread ready, and I wouldn't doubt at all if this phone never saw another update. It was hard enough to get 2.2 out of Samsung when this phone was their flagship, let along getting them to push one more update when it's replacement is already ready.
Edit: Just read an article about that, you're right. I hadn't seen Samsung's reply to that rumor. I guess that just makes Samsung lazy and not lazy and greedy, haha.

It was debunked by Samsung denying it, which means it wasnt really debunked.
I wouldn't expect them to be public about such things....you can have a "price to prioritize" or something which is essentially the same thing but allows you to say you aren't charging for the upgrade.
I'm not saying I know what's going on, I'm just saying I don't trust Samsung at their word.

Why do you assume it was samsung that held back the update? It was more than likely ATT, being that other providers had already released the update.

Pretty sure there would be some sort of outcry from carriers if Samsung was lying. There would probably be more legal ramifications if Samsung lied about not charging for updates rather than some bad publicity about charging for the updates.

Samsung did its part in holding up the update by not wanting to pay the fee the service providers were charging. Same goes with all carriers that were way behind on the 2.2 update.
I'll be skipping it. I had problems with the 2.2 update and just flashed my first ROM. So much faster and the battery lasts a ton longer

You're stating the obvious. Why would anyone modify a ROM to make to inferior to the original? It would be nice if there were an original 2.3 to base something on.

No what he is doing is his usual routine of taking a dump on any post where someone mentions being interested in Samsung firmware releases, because he thinks what is already out via third-parties is all anyone with a brain should want. And yet the AT&T Froyo release resulted in, in my opinion, the best ROM yet from DesignGears.

you obviously haven't tried any 2.2.1 i9000 roms then... Because they blow the doors off any official froyo rom from samsuck. I tried cog 4 and torch and it lagged beyond belief, no offense to dg, but its samsucks fault.

I was running the official Rogers 2.2. and it was better than the official 2.1 that I played around with for a few days first to compare. However, putting Firefly 2.3 (and Andromeda 1.2 before that) I can certainly confirm that the custom rom route is definitely the way to go. MUCH faster (lagfix probably has huge impact on this) far more functional (rooted) better battery consumption (custom kernels) and IMO far better support. I can tell you I fully expect that XDA and the like would provide far superior peer based support than you'd get from your provider. Of course chances are if you weren't putting custom stuff on your phone you'd be far less likely to need it, but the collective knowledge here for general support of devices is far more impressive than some tech support drone that you'd speak to if you called in to you provider.

Let's be honest, this phone could have come with 2.2 on it already when it shipped. Samsung took quite a while to get 2.2 ready even for the I9000s. There are always going to be carriers delays after it's ready, but Samsung took their time as well.

Froyo was announced less than 2 months before this phone shipped. The source wasn't available until less than a month before. I see no problem with shipping with 2.1 under these circumstances.

I've used 2.2.1 ROMs and they are great. If I recall Serendipity is one and it was my favorite prior to Andromeda (which is 2.2 i9010 based and very fast). Cog 4.1 is the first of DGs ROM I've used for more than a day in months; I haven't been a huge fan. As soon as i9000 kernels became mostly trouble free I moved on. I'm not saying the others were bad and I'm not saying 4.1 is better than brand x, I just like it better than previous DG ROMs I tried.
As for your lag problems with Cog 4.1, I don't doubt you, I just don't have it, but I'm using the Paragon kernel which may account for our different experiences.
Okay, just remember this is a total rumor, and complete speculation at this point.
This article says that it is "likely" that Samsung will be the first handset maker to provide 2.3 Gingerbread to the U.S. Cellular carriers.

***This is complete speculation, has nothing to do with any of the updates of late, this could not even mean an update for our phone. I am simply posting a link so that everyone else can know. I expect no flame in the thread, it will most likely end in a Close Thread. Take this thread for what it is.***
Eh. 2.3 with the TW interface won't be so great anyways. I'll flash CM7 when it becomes easier to flash and more stable. But it would be nice to see Samsung and ATT pushing out Gingerbread earlier than everyone else.
EDIT: On second thought, I can almost see this purely because the first Gingerbread phone ever was Samsung.
Yeah it is very possible, but if it's true it could take a while

Just so you know CM7 is really stable for many users and the install process is easier then you might think. I would personally love to see just a system dump because that would make these dev's lives easier.

If you check the CM7 Q&A thread it says that its not likely that it will ever be a single zip install, so I don't think there's much hope for an easier install, although its fairly easy to begin with anyways. I'm running it right now and it seems bug free for the most part my only complaint is the camera app because its not as nice as the Samsung one but I can live with it.

Could be true.. Probably won't be OTA, but I wouldn't be surprised of the international galaxy s got a 2.3 update by the end of next month. They got 2.2 in what, September, October 2010?
I doubt we'll ever see an official 2.3 for the Captivate though.
Bleh, even if Samsung delivered 2.3 tomorrow it would still be eight to twelve months before AT&T could get it's act together and release the software for Captivate and that is if there is ANY plan to update Captivate. I won't hold my breath and really don't need their 2.3.
One thing nice, is that it could be a hint that the Internation Galaxy S is going to be getting an official release sometime soon, which in turn could translate into ports anyway that could contribute to even better custom ROM's. And i doubt it will come to the Captivate. Why when they are trying to sell a new device?

Just installed CM7 on my cappy Thursday took about 5 mins, just follow connexion2005's video linked in the CM7 thread and you'll have no issues. Just make sure you have the files downloaded and your phone flashed to stock before hand.
Well one can hope but to be honest we will get a ported version long before an official version, that is even if we do get one with the Captivate to be considered EOL by ATT as of the middle of next month. Will it be OTA? God I hope not lol
There already is a "official" release. CM7!

Would love to see this on the cappy, but lets face it, its not Samsung holding back most of the time, its ATT. =(
I suppose CM7 isn't HARD, but I just haven't been installing ROMs that long and I've never messed with actual Odin before, just one-click. I'm pretty happy on Precision right now anyways, so I can't see myself flashing CM7 anytime soon. I don't get how 2.3 is so much better than 2.2 anyways.

I think I will never use Odin one click again...it hard bricked my original awesome phone and now i have to use refurbished...
but full odin is better and flashing CM7 is very smooth and awesome...little complicated to install...but that video should help...i flashed twice and i cant go back to froyo from it...
Feel of Gingerbread is better than any froyo rom..
Just with the 2-3 weeks I've been on CM7....its amazing! First its just plain fast, even in its developmental stage it's supremely fast. Secondly The small details, It has the glow effect when you get to the end of a scrollable list, which i think adds a nice touch. Lastly The CRT shutdown is really nice, I don't think I could go back after having it. All in all its really fun to use
Hey guys -- looking forward to joining this infuse community if all goes well.
My first question is the obvious one -- the inspire's dev community is thriving (in my opinion) and the infuse seems to pale in comparison; is the infuse still being worked on or was it just kinda forgotten by the great devs?
How about the GPS? Does samsung's GPS still blow chunks? Have had great success with my Inspire with all the mods and such, getting a perfect lock in a few seconds, hoping the Infuse is just up to par.
And what's all this with RPS file system? What does it do that makes the phone slower, and is there any way to convert to ext4? Pardon my complete lack of understanding, I don't understand any of this.
I really like the cyanogenmod ROM i've been running on my inspire -- is there going to be official support/love for the infuse or is it going to stay unofficial ports? No offense to the dev of the port, but it's just a question.
I'm not used to trade off's when modding my phone. I don't want to grab a ROM and sacrifice bluetooth or battery life. Would this be an issue with the Infuse?
Thanks!
PS: Sorry for duplicate threads, realized this is probably a better section for this.
We have lots of cool stuff here, but no much that is 'official' since we rely on ports, leaks, patches, and our outstanding developers. I have not missed CM7 at all since I came to the infuse. So much to flash and tweak and try!

Do you think things will change once GB is officially out? Or am I late and is it already out haha.
If so I'll go through with this trade off, but I really don't want to trade out a high-traffic (regarding development anyways) device for one that relies solely on ports with no real "official" love from them.
Thread got moved while replying I think lol, I posted a reply while it was in Q&A... :-\

Development will definitely pick up once official GB comes out, I know for sure that a few of the more popular Roms will get an "Official GB" update, not to mention it might spike interest in mainstream Roms such as CM7, MIUI (or atleast I'm hoping )
I think one of my favorite Infuse abilities is Linuxbozo's Hellraiser Rom, you can ports tons of JVQ Roms from other phones. Let's just say it's not easy to get bored with this phone.

There will be official GB, just the fact that we got bootloaders shows that Samsung is preparing to get GB fully ready to ship to AT&T, and since it's already bloated, all AT&T has to do is start OTA'ing it.
If you need to flash different ROM's then what we have now (I won't lie, the Rogers GB based ROM's aren't the best, but they function and are stable, but the AT&T GB based ones will be MUCH better.
Also, if you want to test more ROM's out, just grab LB's hellraiser, find a JVQ, JVR, anything that the thread lists you can flash, grab the ROM itself from the i9k, vibrant, captivate, and flash away! There's so many ROM possibilities thanks to LB (and all you other dev's that helped).

I might not be 100% correct but I'm pretty sure Hellraiser serves as a basis on which we then download non-infuse Roms, which means it optimizes it to work like a native rom with the infuse, it really is an awesome way to fulfill your "multiple rom addiction" that most of us have

If the T-Mobile version gets it, then we may see it sooner than the official release. the OG GSGII has very different hardware.
Converter
There is a way to put S2 roms on skyrockets but I'm not very familiar with it and I've never tried it out etc.
i can't remember where it is but its in the Dev section i believe and its a converter so u install the rom then convert it from recovery menu and stuff
idk don't hold my word to it because i haven't tried it yet

Won't work, different hardware, different hardware identifiers, different...differences.
It's all speculation at this point.
Besides, there's already a build out there floating around, but key features aren't working.

I'm sure he's thinking of the method of getting T-Mobile Hercules roms over to our Skyrocket... That's not too big of a deal, because again, the hardware is the same, just different modems need to be used.
But like stated before, this won't happen. May be the same OS, but without the same hardware, it's useless to us. We're not going to get ICS until they release it/it leaks for either the Skyrocket or Hercules.

#1 This isn't based off the SkyRocket ICS leak, it's AOSP. He used some .ril & .lib from the leak to get it running. Huge difference.
#2 Most things are not working, this isn't even a proper release yet, it's an RC.
Data, Audio, Rotation, and many other still need to be worked out.
#3 While it's not customary to shoot the messenger, spreading false info will only lead to flames and more. Just an FYI.

I would imagine since it says they're using the Skyrocket ICS kernel, rotation would work for us? Isn't that the deal with AT&T/T-Mo sharing ROMs?

#1 This isn't based off the SkyRocket ICS leak, it's AOSP. He used some .ril & .lib from the leak to get it running. Huge difference.
#2 Most things are not working, this isn't even a proper release yet, it's an RC.
Data, Audio, Rotation, and many other still need to be worked out.
#3 While it's not customary to shoot the messenger, spreading false info will only lead to flames and more. Just an FYI.
#4 Thanks for the news reporter attempt

I didn't mean it was ROM BASED
1. I meant the stuff he got is from the SR leak, because the title can be misleading thinking its a t-mobile released. but thanks for making it clearer.
2. RAVER said the data/voice worked fine when he used his parent's ATT sim or something like that.
3. my edit2 suggest that a couple things broke when he fixed other things such as the audio problem. it worked before.
This isn't really false info except that the LEAK BASE might be misleading, but it was easier to say that than AOSP ICS BASED OFF SR LEAK LIB and RIL FILES LOL
BTW shouldn't the ROTATION be fine for ROGERS and ATT and i'm assuming data should work for rogers too.
4. thanks man, just trying to help the source since it was their release that helped us.

It's out now. If we flash it, is it going to change the modem firmware?

it shouldn't change the firmware, this is only the ROM and kernel.

I would think it should work fine for ATT and ROGERS skyrocket because.. it is your kernel lol. I really don't know, that's for you guys to find out.
I will gladly test on my t-mobile phone.
URL to the rom? I searched and there are too many to wade through to find it.
You must be talking about this one right?

I tried flashing it a few days ago and I must say I can't wait for the final version to roll out. It's pure amazing. Ofcourse data/sound/etc does not work at the moment but still, I can hardly hold still my erection :$
