Since we got gingerbread do you think will get ICS?

Since we just received official gingerbread love, do you think it is more likely for us to receive official ice cream sandwich sooner or later? Not custom ports or roms

If we fallow Samsung's chain (I hope i'm wrong) look at what happened to the vibrant, it got left out in froyo when or sgs4g came out, then we got GB but the SII came out, get the path here?

Noob here wants ICS

I have a Sprint Epic 4G and i really want ICE CREAM SANDWICH! but I never rooted before. Can I get some help please
Model: SPH-D700
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: S700.0.5S.EI22
Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Inb4 Russian nyan cat
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.
Shot answer: no ics for a while and if we get it it will take a long time to get stable

Right now, most of the devs who work on that kind of stuff are working on cm7. After that is official though, we will likely see devs begin work on ics.

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.

[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.

its not because the devs havnt tried from what i understand its a kernal problem

Oh really? Well I guess that makes sense. I still would like to see some form of ICS on the infuse, but I suppose it's just wishful thinking.

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.

Most people can not, only have upgrade for every two years (some may have it like me, have two other upgrades to use. Im just going to time them perfectly so every like 7-8 months we can get a new phone that is state-of-the-art lol.)

Not sure but looks like Korea Galaxy S2 ICS Firmware is available for download

Just came across this site that appears to have ICS ready to download for the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The Skyrocket is not the International Galaxy S2!!!! Seriously, we've had more threads than I can count of people saying "ICS coming soon to the Galaxy S2", but no one seems to realize that I727 does not equal I9100....
I appreciate the effort in finding this, but please don't try and flash this, you will undoubtedly brick your phone beyond repair.

Thanks. Again that's why I included the Not Sure on the title post. Just thought this would be something of interest to the forum.

It's mildly interesting in the sense that Samsung has said we come after that device. Doesn't mean a whole lot other than that though.

All we can hope is that the International Skyrocket will be soon there after. Then it can be ported our way. AT&T will take their sweet time updating, so this is our only hope.

Please sign this petition about ICS update

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

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
