Nice article about Android updates - Samsung Infuse 4G

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31322_3-2...oid-this-is-your-last-chance/?tag=epicStories
Would be nice if there was a Android Update Alliance!

Wish google would read that and take it to heart.

Wish AT&T would read that too

Even if we Infuse owners never see it, I'm truly hoping ICS fixes all of the myriad issues with Android. It has the potential to be the one OS to rule them all. I look forward to its release and reading and learning all I can about it in hopes we do receive it.
That being said, I would be happy to just get GB.
PS,
And yes, I realize that there are fantastic ROMs and whatnot out there, I mean official.

Yeah ,me too! I really feel like they're not in a rush because if the Infuse had GB a lot of folks might not have purchased the SGS2.

That's exactly it, it's the dollar signs that AT&T is worried about..but now that its out already give us GB!!! I'm hoping another leak will come out sometime this week to let us know it's getting closer.
ICS better be legit or android is going to lose potential buyers because of this update waiting game we current owners deal with...

Good read!

I wish we could at least see some true Gingerbread action, but ICS would be a blessing.

I'm sure it'll be coming down the pipe at some point, but I'd be more concerned with getting custom ROM's for 2.2 first as that will be next to come.

^this.
we just got froyo, and while it's awesome for this leak to happen, I'm not even going to gear up for gingerbread for quite a while. not to mention that our carrier won't even be able to leak 2.3 for a loooooong while yet.
Its for the international galaxy s. I9000. If we get it it will be a year or more before we would see it.

Gingerbread Preview

I find it surprising that more people aren't talking about the gingerbread preview and that it hasn't even been posted yet. I want to give it a try even if it is an early build.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
They're prolly busy being excited about CM7.
via LG G2x
CM7 for G2x isn't ready for primetime yet. Just flashed it and had many issues. Had to go back to stock.
The gingerbread build seems just about complete besides the camera app.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I know. just saying people would prolly care more if CM7 weren't around. if I've learned one thing about xda its buggy cm7 keeps people happier than no cm7.
I would like to flash this leaked build as well .
...
Maybe people are wising up and are finally deciding not to start yet another speculation thread...
It's not a speculation thread if the leak is already out there. Just needs to be posted.

Speculation about a future release, speculation about a leak... None of which is official, so it all sounds like speculation to me. Just sayin it how I see it.
All of this is discussion here is trivial though. I think there is a thread up for it by now anyways.

Guy, you really are clueless right now. There's a difference between trying to guess when an update is coming and knowing that a leak is out there but hasn't been posted and asking why not ... Within the Vibrant community when there was even a clue to a leak, people were on it til they found it and it was posted. Didnt matter if it were an early build or not, it was posted for the community. If you don't get that well I can't help you.

I guess it just comes down to a matter of opinion really. I think that its silly to go out asking for the leak because its either with a) someone who can/wants to share it or b) someone who can't/won't. And if the answer was in fact 'a' it would have no doubt reached our doorsteps by now. This is the internet, how much faster do we need it to get to us...
Now all arguments aside. I'm not sure why I targeted this thread in particular but I was bored during break at work and in a sour mood lately thinking about reality. So if I'm off character here or in any way wrong on my thoughts then feel free to ignore me. I guess I was kinda looking for senseless argument from the begining alongside my sour disposition and in that manner I was childish. I apologize for that. I'll back off as I should have never really gossiped here to begin with. Sorry.

"Hmmm, might be time to share the G2X Gingerbread build with everyone, whad'ya reckon?"
Then he said:
"Not home today but tomorrow... would be a nice treat for G2X users for the weekend no? ;-)"
Sounds promising. CM7 is great and all, but i myself wouldn't mind playing with a stock GB build either.

I believe LG has ICS releases slated for Q2 of 2012. Not soon, I imagine.
thanks for the feedback everyone. im not super pressed about it but im excited to try it out when it hits our phones!

Yup. It's like putting the ICS transition animations on a gingerbread rom and labeling it ICS.
They probably have a few things from ICS on it, but it really isn't ICS. I think it is just a publicity stunt for them to get people to download their roms.
would appear to have more than just the transitions, but you guys know best surely.
Like I said , I call it what it is called at Galnet. I am not going to call it something else because you don't like how it makes a few people react.

Oh I'm more with you than anything actually. It's more like a hybrid of ICS and gingerbread. Was just using an example.
T-mobile eol'd the phone and they might eol themselves. Lg will still update this phone, I don't know when, what version, when, how, or who will be the first to drop it, but one of the moderators on lg forum kinda hints at it.
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards...goes-black-after-being-plugged-into-a-charger
If you read the last post from Lg Product Pro, it kinda hints at it.
Motorola atrix 4g has a working cm9.
Look on front page.

[Q] ICS for Infuse?

So my friend has a captivate, and he has a Stock ICS rom. I was just wondering the possibility of a Stock ICS rom for the infuse. I know there are Roms that are suppose to look like ICS, but they aren't even based off of ICS. My question is, is there a STOCK ICS rom based on android 4.0, and if not what is the likelihood of there being one?
I don't know why don't you use the search button and find out for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I did, and found nothing, except for the fact that all the ones that say ICS are just themed to ICS and not even based of ICS
Or you could look at the 5th thread in this section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
You mean the HellRaiser? How would this solve my problems exactly, I can't find any ICS roms for galaxy devices except the one for captivate, but it says in order to do the captivate roms, the rom needs to be based off samsung gingerbread. A true ICS Rom would be based off of Ice Cream Sandwich.
No. The one that has the title is anyone planning a custom ics rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Oh, sorry. thanks. That does suck though. I think it would be a great idea. All these developers just don't want to do it I guess. I probably would have donated to someone who would do it. Ahh well. I guess the infuse gets no love.

GuidoZebra,
Read thru the general section and the Q/A section.
There are multiple posts on this topic. TONS.
Then you will understand why there won't be any ICS on the Infuse, short of a miracle.
Go back a few months.
Zeus 5.2 ICS is as close as you'll get.
You don't want ICS on this phone. Even if someone does manage it, it won't be the experience you're hoping for. It will be choppy, buggy and alot of functions won't work. Maybe some super-dev will have a breakthrough this year, but it will be a long time before anything usable, much less fully working is available. So don't hold your breath. Move on. Spend time with the wife and kids. Take the dog to the park. Try to enjoy life.

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

Ill get my diapers ready
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
