Will we be getting ICS

ICS was just announced a few minutes ago. And then I started to wonder if we were going to get it at all. We don't even have an official GB build. So do u guys think we're going to get ICS, or GB for that matter?

Probably only via CM9.
I will be very surprised if Samsung made a TW ICS build specifically for the SGS4G.

No. No. And...... no.
Unofficially probably. No way is our outdated phone going to see an official build. It changes to much of the phone and how it looks.
The average dumbass would freak out if they updated and things changed. No.way would a phone manufacturer do that. Ever.

I think we will get GB and then we are done. When this happens is when you need to buy a new phone.

I'd be happy with official GB right now. ICS seems highly unlikely.

I wouldnt hold my breath officially, but our awesome developers here are sure give us some ice cream lovin. Probably before we get official GB lol

Isn't google directly giving us ICS.

They give you a stock build of it yes. But you need drivers, a kernel and suck to make it work with out hardware.
All of which we don't even have for gingerbread correctly let alone ics.

any one want to buy my sgs4g

actually, they are giving a fully functional universal build.

No and Im not sure why people even think we will get an unofficial version, didnt we only get a ghetto version of Gingerbread after an official Samsung leak? Why on earth would Samsung even attempt to make an ICS version for this phone? They need to actually make something to leak it, which is pretty much impossible given Samsungs business model.

rest asured . If there was an ics rom. That was somewhat functional. You would not have needed to post your question. It would be the hot ticket.. and impossible to miss. Im stoaked about ics. Cant wait to start brewing up some ics goodies....its great on my galaxy nexus. But skyrocket ics will blow the nexus away performance wise.

I was always curious about how are we gonna know whether an update, say ICS, is out for skyrocket? Is there a feature on our phone that will notify us like iOS? Or do we have to always look for the answer online?

Hi mates

Thanks yea I can't wait till someone ports ICS for skyrocket.
Sent from my %s GSM

The skyrocket will not need a port it is going to get official ics. Supposidly q1 which actually att said the vivid and skyrocket would recieve ics q1
..so really soon unless att or sammy are dragging ass.....lol which has been known to happen on occasion

hate to say it but q1 is almost over, two weeks lol. We've been shafted... again

Ics from Sammy people don't seem to like it. I love touch wizard and didn't mind it I just installed trebuchet launcher on my epic 4g touch trust me guys when it comes if you like touchwiz you will be happy if not you will be very sad. I'm in love with my skyrocket

[Q] Gingerbread update for galaxy 3??

Is there any scope of a gingerbread release for galaxy 3??

Obviously Not. I mean Samsung has totally lost interest in Galaxy 3. If not, then they would have released it long before.
But no need to hope cause we already have it, Courtesy marcellusbe

In the times of ICS you think Samsung will make, if ever a Gingerbread update for us?

Theres absolutely no chance, that we will get the official Gingerbread...Samsung usually gives just one major update. Even Samsung Galaxy S II will not get official Android 5.0 Jellybeans. :/

You mean to tell me that this phone is supposed to be "the flagship" of Samsung and it still comes in the box with froyo? Heck the skyrocket even comes boxed with gingerbread on it. Froyo is way outdated and obsolete. I was thinking about getting a s3 but not now. I'll just keep my skyrocket cause ics is awesome and there is no way I would pay that much for a phone that comes boxed with an operating system that is at least two years out of date... very disappointed in Samsung.

We have been forgotten.

Is it me or does the Thunderbolt feel completely abandoned by developers?

Yep no jellybean for us yet. JB makes ics seem as slow as am ibm pcjr. We should demand HTC give us JB instead of ics
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA

While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.

Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.

I'm still here!

Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

It's not dead for me yet. Still waiting for the end of July / August for HTC to actually produce something. There's been beta testing supposedly but no leak.

Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.
I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.
I dont believe we'll ever see an official release of JB for our phones.

im building a rom off of cm7 now . RomZombie.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

That and point really at Google for.this messed up veal they allow which is so stupid. We need to stop overlays on android and have the same user experence as any other device a unified way. On touch six.you select wick widget it brings up any available wick if one is not already selected on sense and stock that does not happen. Not a great user way here.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.

[Q] Evo Shift 4g Rolling out with 4.1.1 ?

Yup that's the one. I guess i jumped to the question hearing 4.1.1 None the less .Anyone thinks they will ever roll out with another update or its officially done via HTC's End .

I read this on a thread here somewhere, a guy had spoken to a friend who worked for HTC and he said that they would not be releasing ICS for the shift. Based on this, I think its pretty safe to say that HTC will not be rolling out a JB update, sad as it is. Your best bet is to root and flash a custom JB rom, several of which you can find over in the development forums

Yeah they kinda made a half assed attempt at closing the exploit in the last OTA, I wouldn't expect any more updates from HTC for the Shift, period.

I was in my local BestBuy and surprised to see this phone still available for purchase. I would expect HTC to be planning an update to at least ICS since they are still selling these phones.
Gingerbread was good when this phone came out two years ago, but way out dated now to expect customers will be happy with it starting a new two year contract.

Yeah my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide is still on GB and will never see official ICS, but thanks to everyone on xda I've ported 3 JellyBean ROMS for it.
Since leaving the Shift I've moved from Sense to AOSP and wouldn't have it any other way.
Sent from a KangBanged JellyBAM

Since offically, HTC says the our shifts have reached EOL, don't expect many updates from them at all. And besides, we actually have an amazing 4.x community on the shift. I mean, we aren't the SIII or anything, but there are a handful of ICS and JB roms. Pick one and flash it, then you could just act like the phone came that way
