Fresh out of the weekend since their support page was updated. A 5-3 release makes sense. Hopefully the radio version is different than the leak, which is reboot happy due to the radio. Software versions match though.

Thanks for the details. I look forward to the official, the leaked was not very stable.

is there another post mentioning the date it will be pushed ota?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

This is the first time I've seen a release date for it posted.

i apologize if this info was already posted. I was just trying to share some info i just noticed. as many people have stated, i have not seen an actual date of release. I also have access to phones a few days before they are released so if there is anything i can do to help the community, please let me know. i have a thunderbolt, and being an employee, i can have my phone replaced whenever needed so i am willing to try pretty much anything (guinea pig anyones software). so if any dev wants me to try something i am more than welcome to.

nice to know

You should put this out there, as I'm sure many devs would love your help.
Also, I'm sure everyone here would like early impressions on new phones.

Verizons data plans

Thought I'd post this for you guys. Tiered data starts July 7th. However, if you already have unlimited data, you will not be forced to a tiered plan when you upgrade. Again, if your line has a smartphone on it by July 7th, you'll keep unlimited data until you activate a non smartphone.

Yeah I already knew this but not thanks to other threads, I appreciate you doing so though, whats funny is how people ***** about another thread and saying.you could of looked before you posted when they don't have to click on the post in the first place its just as easy to scroll on by instead of going in and trolling.

Also there is only one other thread in the top ten and that thread doesn't say that info until my post on the 11th page so yeah.

Thank you! There are still decent people on xda!

[Q] ICS Custom Rom

How long before users will be able to flash a ICS custom rom? Im assuming before its officially released for the nexus s? am i wrong here? because i had gingerbread on my evo far before sprint released it. Im hoping its the same case for ICS and my nexus s 4g.

Most Likely Yes, but plz post in the RIGHT section.

I would imagine to see some ICS themes soon... I downloaded the ICS System Dump and looked around for quite some time... Changes are minor to most, some new stuff here and there icon speaking... There are a few new additional pngs (images) we didn't have before.
Probably the biggest headache I see is since ICS's theory is to combine tablets and phones into one OS there are in some APKs up to a dozen different folders now to support all the diffferent screen sizes and formats so themers are gonna be going nuts doing "complete" themes across the board..
It should be fun

oh sorry. i just thought this was the only NS4G forum on xda. The others all say nexus s. The NS4G doesnt have its own seperate forum, otherwise i would have posted it in the Q&A.

Notice your phone starts with the word Nexus S..... So based on that fact, I would say it would be proper to post in the Nexus S Question and Answer Thread. Also, this topic has been and will continue to be asked daily until it is actually released.

Guys, honestly you have to stop making threads asking ETA's for ROM's and such. If there was a ROM in the works, a dev would post about it and let us know. You have to be patient

usually, developers start making custom roms when google drops the source into aosp. and google already said that they arent doing that until the first ICS phone(galaxy nexus) gets released in november.

What could we expect...

If LG were to release ICS on the G2X? I see devs making great ROMs for it yet are hindered by a lack of drivers, which I assume would be part of an official ICS update. Any devs care to comment?

Not really. Pricks like him are abundant on forums, even the respected forums here on XDA. Still, just saying "what isn't working now will work" is not enough. With those broken features working, could devs be motivated to step up custom scripts and mods that go beyond even what's available now?

Respected forums? Xda? Maybe like before Android, not anymore now.
A lot of people are just disappointed with the same questions being asked like 5 times when you could just click a page or 2 back and see the same topic already discussed.
We just need an active moderator for these forums to merge the redundant topics together.

I don't know, I got my ass warmed for spamming, but then they hired me to spam professionally. I'm not trying to start anything, mt3g we've been down that road, accomplished nothing. Anyhow, my question is, and I understand basically, but why do you guys worry so much about people starting new threads? Its not using any storage space that would affect any of us. When a new thread is started, no matter if there's a thousand just like it, it promotes social gathering and in most cases, usefull information. But(never start a sentence with this), when you guys run your cruisers down here and go Gestapo on the op's, that's even more useless than the duplicate thread. Now, instead of a duplicate thread with new and useful information, its a duplicate thread with new and useful information that's been cluttered by flamers and rent-a-thread cops. Does it make sense? I'm really trying to be professional here, but guys, listen, I was a mod for 2 forums prior to working for XDA and I'm gonna tell ya, playing forum God got old within 5 minutes. You don't know our mods are not active, I got disciplined when I screwed up. Maybe you're wrong about starting new threads?Buru, I really respect you and your work and I really don't like disagreeing with you. I hope that I don't jeopardize our getting along. It just needs to be said that there are as many people fed up with the vigilante moderating, if not more, than those fed up with duplicate thread starters. Look at it like this, has any of the thread copping payed off? No. Did anyone active in thread copping become mod or get hired? No. Now, do I really need to say anymore? Just look at all I just cluttered this thread up with.......... thread copping........, unproductive. If you disagree with me, that is your right if you live in the united states, this is XDA, I don't care if you disagree with me, you don't have XDA signing your checks.
[email protected]

And I could care less if they do sign yours, I'm not trying to mod or be a cop, I would like to come to a forum that I enjoyed for about 3-4 years until lately. This is the sloppiest and most unorganized phone e section I've read... the MyTouch 3G and G1 are still modded it seems, the O2X is incredibly controlled... the tempo and mood would be a lot better and here from a lot of members some would stick around and others wouldn't leave. I'm surprised whitehawkX came back and EaglesBlood is still here... if I'm that big of a problem the mods will come and say something to me and I will behave but until then.... deal with me I guess.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Wow. Are your saying because there are threads that I guess are beneath you or a liitle repetitive, that the developers should up and leave a phone that they love?
G2x

How did you get any of that from what I said? Quote specifically please, and I will reiterate what was confused... I would never want that! That's the only reason I'm still with the g2x, I'm saying the repetitiveness of useless threads ("how do you update baseband, and how come I hear these noises when I call someone after installing this rom, I'm coming from 2.3.4 I received yesterday.") anything of that nature is what's wrong with this forum.

I'm coming to the G2x from a few other Android phones (LG Optimus V & Motorola Triumph) and it was hard to find the relevant and important info here even though I've written guides & developed for other Android phones before.
There's no need to depend on moderators, just a default thread to point everyone to with a FAQ section (maybe eventually sticky it or put it on the top of the stickied thread). Then it should be updated regularly by a person with good writing skills. or even a wikipage on github that a select few can update so the burden isn't on one person. Anyway I know it's towards the end of the G2x's lifecycle (until official ICS maybe), so none of this may matter, but just suggesting for future reference. Good, clean, & simple documentation prevents a lot of repeated questions.

Here is one thing I noticed, there are plenty of posts complaining about where MM is and this is the only post showing that there is some progress and some people instead of being happy that there is progress, they complain here. So instead of complaining like a few people on here, I am going to actually thank the OP since I didn't know there was any progress on MM. There are a lot of people (me included) who just get their news from XDA. So I am glad to see that there is progress. I think the mod should clean this thread, as this thread is showing progress, not people complaining when the update comes because their $700-$800 phone is paperweight without the update.

Lol they've got their work cut out for them with all the complaints around here.

Also very excited about the progress, I used to always buy international variants but I've since found tmobile to be a cheaper variant to buy outright. I'm so excited, I know personally it'll take a while for me to use it. I dred going back to stock at any cost. I'll likely have the first flash able rom. But again one step closer for us is amazing news. Thanks OP!

Ahh I got you. What the hell is there to complain about. I am right there with you though. If updates are such a huge deal that adults have to throw hissy fits about them then you shouldve sucked it up and went with a Nexus.
Just because Google released a newer version doesnt mean somehow your phone is magically useless.

Thank you all for understanding. I was excited about the news and decided to share!
