This doesn't mean that its the official froyo update. Hahahah Thats funny though.

Everyday someone gets a text about an update. Everyday someone posts a thread declaring that the new Froyo update is out right now for download. Everyday its just another text about JH7. Everyday I bang my head against my keyboard and wonder why people are so quick to post without knowing what they are talking about. Not to mention why they thought this was a development topic.

Oh boy here we go again.

Here we go again. I'm more interested in gb now anyway.

how many of these threads do we need lol.
This is like the 20th thread i have seen of the exact same post =)

God! And I get excited when I see something like this in Dev! Erg, I should know better by now! But like others said, JH7 ota, we'll know when froyo rolls out.

/close&delete thread before this gets out of hand.
Also this belongs in the Q&A or GENERAL forums not Development.

This ia FYI post. but if it does violate, please move it to the correct forum. please. Thanks.

I got those messages as well. Got on AT&T tech support chat to demand specifics. After managing to break through the language barrier and explain to the rep that I know what an OTA update is, but I wanted to know specifically WTH _this specific update_ did, she gave me this link: (edit forums won't let me post links, but it was a link to the android 2.2 sdk download...) and said that link would explain what was contained in the update that they were getting ready to push to my phone. Do I think she had any idea what she was talking about? Absolutely not.

Android 2.2 Gingerbread for Samsung Galaxy S 4G?

I am trying to find the gingerbread rom for my husbands Galaxy S. Kind of new at this and will need directions if anyone can lead me in the right direction i'd be very greatful. Thanks in advance.

On a side note, 2.3 is Gingerbread. If you browse the Galaxy S forums, you would be able to find what you need. I went ahead and found the stock one for you.
Just a word of advise, if you are new to installing roms, I would recommend finding someone that knows what they are doing, or you could risk bricking his phone.

thanks although the links didn't show up he wants to be able to watch netflix on his phone of course if there is an easier way to allow him to do that i would be much happier with that. Im just not sure how to go about it i do understand that bricking is possible but i dont' have anyone to do it but me so i kind of stuck

Currently the only way to watch netflix on the gs4g is with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
There is a odin flashable rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146145
Before flashing I would read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
It is not that difficult just make sure to read through the forum and use the search button.
Remember however at this time gingerbread is a leaked build, so it may have some bugs. Future releases will likely fix this but may take some time.

THANKS
Thank you so much for all the info i did flash our HD2's to android but mine is having some issues now and i went to the GS but the screen was to small for me being as i'm almost blind in a sense but i will try this and see if this is what he wants or wants to go back to HD2. Again thanks so much.

you have absolutely no clue what your'e talking about. Please take 1 minute to research next time, and you'll realize there are 2 gingerbread versions on this site.
the fact tha you don't e ven know that 2.3 is gingerbread means you shouldn't even be posting yet

She asked a question. Yes, she could have researched, but you don't have to be so rude about it; especially when corradokng addressed her issue as well as telling her to search next time.
Abie, let us know how it goes. I hope you guys get it working. Check out the netflix threads in the themes section

Honestly, that's one of the most unnecessary posts I've seen in a while.
You're supposed to be kind to new users, not rude.
People like you are why Krylon left XDA.

Oh ok, I'm sorry that there's a section in this forum called Android Development, and that the OP didn't bother to even click on that.
One click, and this thread wouldn't even n eed to exist

Rude.
The point is that the new user didn't know it existed...just help 'em out!

[Q] No Gingerbread release?

Can anyone corroborate this article?
http://www.cincygeek.com/2011/08/how-to-install-gingerbread-on-a-samsung-droid-charge/
Don't know where this guy is getting his info from, and it doesn't seem very "official" sounding. That being said, he does make a definitive statement. Wondering if anyone has heard anything along the same lines...

He completely omits EP1Q which has been around for weeks. Plus he doesn't state how or where he got the info. No sources. In the meantime P3droid told me on twitter that something for the Charge is inbound.

Thanks, Hazard! Hope you're right, yeah, the guy doesn't cite any sources, so it's odd that he makes such a definite statement about a "Samsung announcement." Just weird. Also seems odd that Samsung would work up so many test versions of Gingerbread only to abandon those efforts...

Yeah. It doesn't make much sense...
Any who, to instigate anticipation for those that love it. https://twitter.com/#!/P3Droid/status/107715574586544128

[Q] Stock ICS for SGH-I727

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a stable version of Stock ICS (not the new one with touchwiz) available for the SGH-I727.If pre-rooted that'd be awesome. I've been looking all over but haven't been able to find anything.
Sorry if this is a retarded question haha
Thanks allot!

Sorry to say you will not find a stock ICS for the skyrocket yet as it has not been released, or a date provided for it's release

As said above nothing yet. You might not get away without a flaming though. This gets asked a couple timed a week by new members. As soon as something pops up it will be in the development section and it will blow up faasssttt.
We have people working on it but its not ready for use yet.

**Sigh** same song, beginning to get old

Sorry guys, I apologize for asking a redundant question haha I just thought I'd ask if anyone knew of anything similar to the UI of the original ICS on the galaxy Nexus. Sorry again for any annoyance I may have caused.

no be sorry, this people always complain for anything. a least you post in the right section.

If you can't find it on here, it doesn't exist
Non-bricked Skyrocket since 2-11-2012

Its important to note that its in development on our dev boards called isotope no where close to being a daily driver

Is Android LP rooted for this phone yet?

I just got my Note 5 this afternoon, not a single one of my credit or debit cards will work with Samsung Pay and since I am with USAA it may be a while before it does, as such the itch to root is even stronger now.
Has the latest OTA been rooted yet? I am currently still on 5.1.1 but I am getting the notification for an update.
Would it be wise to update or should I wait a bit longer?
In other words has unlock and root been achieved on the newest OTA yet?

Please browse the forum. Your answers are literally a click away. Heck you can even Google "root tmobile note 5," and it'll bring you right back to xda.

I didn't ask if it could be rooted.
I asked if MM had been rooted or if it was only LP at this time, as all I see in the development forum are 5.1.1 roms and kernels.
This is why I asked the question the way I did.
There is a very good reason that XDA has the reputation of being a bad place to go if you have questions, and your response is part of that problem.
The Q&A forum is for precisely these style questions.
Now, seeing as how I did not ask how to root the device as there are plenty of threads on that, would you care to take a stab at answering my actual question.
I won't be mad at a link to a thread which answers the question I asked.

Just do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3187422

Looks like this when done right

And again, note that the link and the screenshot is for LP, I am asking if MM has been rooted yet.
Though I do very much appreciate the response.

First of all you never stated anything about mm in your original post. Secondly note 5 is still on lp. The only thing you stated is if the latest Ota has been rooted, and the latest Ota is lp and yes it has been rooted so there is your answer.

Its all good. I won't go there with this one. The back and forth isn't worth it. You should also probably edit your post!
MM Beta is rootable. Go to the development section to find out the pros and cons of using the beta. I advise you to stay on LP. There's only the stock rooted beta kernel available for MM. There's a lot of cons to being on it, so please keep that in mind is you decide to flash it.
See how much help I still gave you without actually posting a link? Not trying to be a **** but if we soon feed the work, the work wouldn't know how to feed itself. I started off as the wise noob ever, and bricked phones. If I had only taken the time to Google and research, those devices being bricked could have been avoided.

Jammol,
I realise in my first post I did not give names as I had thought I had. This is why upon re-reading it I apologized as my original question wasn't clear.
Thank you for the follow up.
In any question thread the answer should be clear, even if it is simply a link to another post, in this way those coming here in the future can follow the link rather than seeing a simple "nevermind I figured it out" and my post being the only response to their search. Please note, I did not say you had to provide a link, just said that even if your answer was simply a link to where I could find the answer that would be fine as well.
Note I did search, but as I was looking for MM ROMS I could not find anything, I was under the mistaken impression that MM was on the device. This is where I erred and why I could not find anymore information.
For all future folks taking a look at this thread, as of today MM is not available on the Note5 and the newest OTA (as of today) has already been rooted and you can find a number of ROMS in the development section.

Honest question for you.
After reading the thread, seeing where I had apologized and seeing that the issues was solved and the back and forth was done, what compelled you to respond in such a negative manner?
You end your statement with "smh" which I can only assume stands for "so much hate" as it is currently used.
So why bother? You see the thread is resolved, you see the question has been answered but then you just felt this need to respond?

Smh means shaking my head. And it doesn't matter if it was resolved, you got all upset that none of us took the time to GOOGLE or FORUM SEARCH for you, when you could have easily done that yourself. The sense of entitlement was pretty thick.

And again, if you had actually bothered to read I state that I did search but was under the mistaken impression that this phone had an update to MM when it had not, hence the reason I could not find anything when searching for MM ROM's, this is why I asked.
So your assertion, especially after I had already stated I did, that I didn't search is completely unfounded.
The issue I took was with a response that boiled down to "do your own research as this help forum isn't here to help you".
This is an issue at XDA and why XDA is universally made fun of and considered a bad place to go if you have questions that haven't been answered, because a bunch of folks will respond with vitriol without bothering to read the rest of the posts.
For instance, the best answer was already given, but it would have hurt nothing for Jamool to have said:
"The latest OTA update is currently LP and that has been rooted, you can find multiple roms in the development section of the forum, here is a link (link). And in the future make sure to make use of that search button."
At which point I would have realised that I was mistaken on the idea that the Note5 has Marshmallow already and that would have been the end of the conversation.
Now, can we consider this matter closed otr would you like to once again respond and tell me how I didn't bother to search?
P.S. I cannot be the only one that has noticed that the search function seems to stop working at 11pm EST am I?

Where you on N920TUVS2COKC when you got it? If so how did you root it. I got mines today & dont see any updates available. Also the space kernel has been pulled.

............ junk . deleted

I did google, and as I said already. I was wrong.
I guess you really don't bother to read previous posts.
How dare I post a question in a question and answer forum specific to my question.
