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.

Yeah it will.. Once i get my unicorn!

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 No way is our outdated phone going to see an official build.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.

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich

Do you guys think the mytouch 4g slide will get an Ice Cream Sandwich update swiftly?

Doubtful. T mobile, and all US carriers in general are absolutely abysmal when it comes to rolling out updates on time. Normally the rest of the world is an update or two ahead of us when it comes to official updates.

Nope doesnt suprise me one little bit. HTC is really going down the ****ter. No source code and now no ice cream sandwich? Wow.

i hear it's going to make the doubleshot processor use both cores

pahaha ! I'd rather CM 8 than the official update anyway. Have any estimations on how long it would take once ICS source is out and we have CM 7 running?

It already uses both cores. This is implemented below the android layer -- in the kernel itself. The Linux kernel has always been SMP.

"CM" version numbers are meaningless.
The only version number here that matters is "4.0".

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

Ice cream sandwich

I have a friend that works for TMobile and said that ice cream sandwich is coming out on June 11 for galaxy 2, and not the blaze. is it possible for someone to mod a version for us?

ICS comes out Monday. I'm excited all over again
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

Monday is GSII. No date yet for the Blaze 4G. Do you think we will get the new touchwiz? Probably not, but that would be awesome if we are. Hopefully there's a port for it that works on our device someday.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA

I would hope so, seems like Samsung would push it to the GS II and cookie cutter everyone else.

Cool let me know I actually just got the s2 from a friend for 150 and no contract i couldn't pass it up lol

I just moved to one of these from a HTC Incredible I've been running ICS on since January and I have to say, it's hard to go back to GB, but the phone is just so much better and it's the only sub 4" phone that has a dual core procesor and is reasonably priced out of contract. Anyways, hoping for ICS sooner rather than later!

ICS will be out tonight for the Galaxy S 2 ...Anyone here how long it will be until the Blaze is updated to ICS?
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3029
"Samsung and T-Mobile plan to release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G that updates the device software to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The dates for this future update are TBD, but this document will be updated when details become available."
Hope to see this updated soon!

I'm looking forward for the source to drop. Since the T989 uses the same general chipsets we do, I'm hoping the source will build and work for our phones (with a little coercion). It's amazing how little official msm8660 stuff there is out there.
I swear, finding source, info, etc on this stupid little phone has been a labor of love, and I run into dead ends everywhere I go :-(

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.

Kinda gotta blame HTC tho, cuz a leak is just as good to me as Verizon's "official" release. Its the ril that is necessary, u get that n the rest is history -_-

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.
