I know its a long long ways off and we havent even officaly gotten GB but do you think when ice cream sandwich rolls out this phone might have a chance or will there be to many new phones overshadowing this one, this is a mere topic question im not looking for an offical answer so dont flame me please. I just want to listen to peoples thoughts on this update.

More than likely, we'll only see it if it gets ported by the community itself. That's just my opinion though.
Have you read this? http://m.gizmodo.com/5800358/what-is-androids-ice-cream-sandwich From my understanding it seems that its going to be for all devices or at least most of them, I dont know correct me if im wrong.

to be honest dont know if you guys will want ice cream, rumors are that the ice cream OS will make it so you cant really customize the phone with mods and tweaks and what not
thats what they are aiming for :/

aww that sucks, good to hear people opinions even yours amypooter.
Will we get it yes yes we will will you want it thats a whole nother story.
I saw when it was announced and they said it was still going to be open source unlike honeycomb so that way devs can put their hands on it too. I dont really se how it won't be customizable if it is open source maybe I'm wrong hope not, but lets hope is not like you said that they are aiming for customizable to go away because lets be honest thats kinna the beauty of android other than just plain awesomeness even whith out any mods or tweaks.

If you all would read the article on the link provided you will notice about half way down...
"Unlike Honeycomb, which Google says was not made open source as they worked to unify the Android OS for various devices and form factors, Ice Cream Sandwich will be open sourced for developers to do as they please with."

What am I missing out on? I hope the article is correct... Gizmodo is usually up on things. However it'd be a big disapointment if it wasnt open source.

im not sure if any of you have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14548600
but there is a working port of honeycomb on the i9000
Team Acid wants to start porting over honeycomb to the sgs4g
but
that will be hard and we'll most likely need help
any devs willing to help would be great
and any supporters willing to donate,test, or help anyway they can would be great as well
if this doesnt sound interesting please let me know and we WILL NOT start this project
Great. Will help in any way possible

Seriously though, looking through that thread and the thread for nexus one ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11498650 ), lots of complaints about using honeycomb on phones. It is a tablet os, quickly replaced by ICS, and will probably never release all of the source for HC.
I'm still down to tinker.
the ice cream sandwhich SDK is currently out on android sdk website. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
anyone start toying with it yet?
if so how'd you like it?
discuss
I am on too slow of a connection to download and mess with it but just from reading the notes it looks like the press conference REALLY left a lot of important features unmentioned. Another thing I found odd was that there was zero mention of the "one OS to rule them all." I would have thought Google would make a bigger deal about this being a unifying version of the OS.
I just tried it and I must say it rocks.
I really like the browser
I just feel that they could have been a bit more creative with the home launcher since it kinda reminds me of adw, but other than that everything rocks

So, if someone could just port it to our phone
are you really worrying, if ICS will be available for the NS?! or did i miss something?
no worries, mates, as far as i have read the statements of google, ICS will definitely come for the NS! of course they have to bring it, i'd buy an f*ing iphone, if my not even 1 year old developer phone was no longer supported! (ok, it was a bluff, i'd never buy that brick, but i'd be really pissed! )
the last thing i read about it was, that they first of all work on the NS-rollout...though i don't think, that it will happen before the galaxy nexus is published...
Edit: "Google Android Chief Andy Rubin stated that Ice Cream Sandwich is on schedule to roll out “a couple of week after” the Galaxy Nexus arrives in the marketplace." -> that may take some time, maybe a christmas present?

It has to come out for ANY phone before that can happen. Besides we will be the second phone to get it so i'm imagining we will have an official before there is ever a port, so just settle down :
I have it booting not much else is working. I'll have an upload later today when I get home from work.

Wow that was fast. How long will it take Google to post the source code so we can have a usable ROM?
Didn't this thing just debut? You guys are quick!
Cool! I don't care if anything works, I'm pumped after watching the video last night! I'll flash the hell out of this =)

Word is two weeks for the source drop. Don't expect much from this. SDK ports hardly ever work 100%.

Yes, I know the SDK lacks the hardware drivers that's why I asked about the source, because until that drops, no need to get excited.
I assume that since you say it only boots, it probably doesn't have working touch screen yet, correct?

You can't get ICS on the epic until it is ported which will be a long while and there probably won't be 4g for a LOoOOOOOOOOOoOoOOOoooNG time.

oh you can get ICS for this phone right now if you want... It just doesnt have touchscreen support, nor does it have keyboard or anything for that matter. Yeah this phone should probably receive a full update to ICS from samsung because the hardware could certainly handle it but the only real way i see us getting to use anything remotely like ICS is when CM8 comes out and we have full support for Cyanogen its self. I dont think a "stock" ICS rom will ever make it onto this phone because most of the developers will have moved to better phones by the time it will be even possible.
Makes you wish you had a nexus phone or an HTC HD2 right?

For some reason when I read that, I pictured you (really just an imaginary person seeing as how I have no idea what you look like) sitting in a corner rocking back and forth repeating that line. I got a chuckle out of it.
Please take little time to sign this petition in the hope of getting an ICS update in our galaxy s 4g phone:

Why do you think the sgs4g needs to get ics? My phone is fast got extremely great battery life and tons of other things. Do you just want ics so you could have the latest android flavor or do you think or know it will make our phones that much better. I'm not trying to be a smartass just curious why ppl are this rilled up about ics.
I think the only reason is because "others have it".
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Great words blazen you know maybe ics has some quiet interesting features but our developers make than our phone from crappy to gingerbread better than ics that is one the reasons I want to start developing because I feel that I got skills to make some good stuff for the phone ( like themes and guides only things that i have finished) and other reason is because here our developers are way better than samsungs horrible costumer service....anyway every sgs4g user most appreciete the developers work even if the projects are not finished like ics port and aosp port because that makes people more happy and they know that there works are awesome

I believe that most want it because it is the newest OS and most believe it will be an improvement, much like GB compared to Froyo... Which is understandable considering the developers here are going full bore in a attempt to port ICS.
Being one of those that was satisfied with froyo, I have to admit I am even more satisfied with GB... But as for your question, I personally hope that it is released for our phone because if it is, so to would the source be released (just imagine what the developers could accomplish with it).
Just my 2 cents in the well.

You do realize that's a post from someone in the forums right? No word from Samsung USA. You cannot depend on what a customer service rep says, they sit behind the computer all day and still do not know a thing about the products they are supposed to be supporting. They are just trying to shut us up about it already. If the OG galaxy s gets just a value pack, it'd be hard to imagine them bending backwards to give us full ICS

If I am not mistaken the T-Mobile version is the same as the Telus S2 in Canada. If it is I would not be in any hurry to upgrade to ICS. My own experience and experience of others as reported on the Howardforums has not been stellar. Problems with apps freezing and battery life going in the toilet are common. Looks great, just doesn't work very well. I would hold off until these issues are addressed. I usually always wait to do an update until I here some feedback but this time I jumped in and am now regretting it.
Just a word to the wise
