The only reason you would get flamed is if you posted this in the development section. Good job you posted your question in the right section.
According to Samsung they are rolling out the GB update to handsets in Europe (Galaxy S I9000) and based on their "Regional Plan" everyone else will be getting it as well.
That's a vague as it comes, but that's the latest from good 'ol samsung.
Oh cool thanks I was just wondering because before I bought this phone I was gonna get the nexus S but I wanted 4g so I got this but been hoping for a gingerbread rom I mean every other phone has it except this one wich is kinda gay

im a little naive when it comes to GB and havent read up on it. But, I was wondering what so good about a GB Rom? I would think people would want more Custom Roms than a samsung release.
would anyone like to share the differences between Froyo and GB?

Dude as soon as 2.4 comes out, all we'll hear is about is ICS. GB? Almost like the droid's 2.0 release... Well, almost.

Gingerbread's biggest plus is that it's got far better battery optimzation than Froyo.
In an attempt to compare apples to apples - Froyo Battery Life on my SGS4G and a 3500mAh battery is about 2 days.
In comparison, a MyTouch 4G on a 1400mAh battery and Gingerbread is about 2 days.
Both are used similarly.
Sgyee, mt4g battery life on gb is not 2 days its the reason i kept thesgs4gand gace the mt4g to my gf. Mt4g w upgraded battery to 1500 mah and not much use (few calls and texts) with set cpu running on demand is about 11hours. Thats w newest gb build, kernal and radio. The sgs4g battery tho 1650 mah is alot better w more use.
Now the evo 4g gets gb on 6/6 officially.
What's really the hold up with this power house of a phone not getting its love? Am I wrong to feel it should have had it out of the box...the Droid got ota gb this past week...as we sit waiting. I'm disappointed.

I personally think its t-mobile... they're horrible about getting updates out for ANY of their phones...
the o2x i believe already has a release for UK
The o2 was released prior to this phone. Be patient. With all the issues t-mobile and LG are probably making sure it works right this time. I have a feeling the stock shortage was an excuse to prep for gingerbread release.
G2x with faux AOSP

Right, the Vibrant lagged way behind the other US Galaxy S phones on the 2.2 update... oh wait...
you guys do realize all the phones that are getting GB have been out for a while right? It's not even summer yet, so TMO still hasn't past their said deadline. chill out.

The evo 4g. The one that's been out for 10 months or so???? Yeah were so far behind. I mean we've had our phones for almost two!!! This is such BS...I'm bringing mine back for an evo......seriously though the GB leaks are more than functional and if your not flashing than shame on you. You'll be the same person that waits for the official 2.3 to drop and then post a complaint on everything that doesn't function right. This phone just came out give it some time. Unfortunately unless you have a nexus phone you're always going to be waiting on the latest and greatest because you're at the mercy of your carrier. I'm still confused as to why google went with samsung and a similar speced phone with the S when dual core tech was available and seems to be the norm for most top end google phones....damn you fragmentation!

You may be disappointed when it does come out.
I was using EB GB leak based ROM with and without OC kernel. Other then a different look and feel, not much of an upgrade in the update. the only performance improvements were result of EB tweaks and the kernels- not GB 2.3. Am back on 2.2.2 with OC UV kernel, as it has original camera and is pretty stable.
Android 2.4 on the other hand would be a major upgrade, as it is optimized for duel core - 2.3 is not. It might be out on other devices this month - but we would be lucky to see it on the G2X this year (unless the Dev's port it over).
At least the OTA should still have the basic stock apps - like the HD camera - which the GB leak did not. Then the Dev's can work directly off of a G2X specific ROM. But you will not see any significant improvements with 2.3 by itself.
If you are rooted, you could get a GB them, flash it, and pretend.

Gb includes hardware accletated browsing. Copy and paste. And speed imporvememts.
Other little things as well.
Biggest thing?
IT WILL FIX THE REBOOTS AND WIFI. Officially.
So I don't think he or anyone else is going to be disappointed with that.

I bet if u look back a few months u can find the same exact post but it will say something like froyo isn't to big an upgrade its gingerbread we really want....lol. no one is ever happy. Android 2.3.4 is pretty nice in my opinion. I could care less about 2.4 and what its potentially going to bring to the table. Its android and it beats any other OS out ther no matter what revision

i say op you go to you local tmobile store and demand the rep behind the counter place 2.4 aka icecream on your phone don't settle for gb if they say no chunk the phone at him/her and turn over a few display stations on your way out. the call up tmobile's customer service and tell them that their store rep refused to place 2.4 on your phone and you want their job or you will throw a bf and write the president of the company.

GB has hardware accelerated browsing?! I thought only the SGS2 had a hardware accelerated browser?
The GB leak was just that, an unfinished leak that still needed work. The official update will most likely be a lot better.

But then it's not in AOSP as the Nexus One and Nexus S would have accelerated browsers too.

OK. Let me rephrase its gingerbread that has it. Does not exist until 2.3
The g2x does indeed do it for flash.

hey all. I currently have a Vibrant, but I may have the option to move to a galaxy S 4g. We have great development on the Vibrant. I know for a while the development on GS4G was really slow, but how is it now? has it picked up? do you guys have official GB, or at least leaks of official GB? how are you custom froyo roms?
Thanks guys,
just would really like to know this before I make the move
You could also check out our development forum. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of development for the SGS4G, and there are GB leaks. I am not sure if we actually have official GB though.

Oh development has really picked up. Flash a rom one day and a brand new one comes out the next. As for gingerbread, we don't have an official yet but the leaks are perfectly fine especially when turned into a rom. Much better than the froyo roms.

I gotta agree with everyone else here. One thing to keep in mind is that flashing with the SGS4G is different than flashing with the Vibrant.
Still slow, most roms are leaks. That said, gb touch wiz isn't that horrible, haha.
When cm7 starts rolling I suspect development will pick up rapidly. Crossing my fingers for miui.

No. ICS is Googles Android OS. CM9 is a modded version of it.
ics simply refers to android version 4.0. Cm9 is based off of android 4.0 aosp but has many added features and tweaks.
Just like cm7 is based off of android 2.3 (gingerbread) aosp.

I think his question is really what is the difference between the two. Which right now I don't think there is much. I think it's just about porting and getting everything working. Maybe there is some small optimizations done but nothing heavy. I think cyanogenmod is working on adding features as we speak and will most likely release a big beta with all of them implemented vs small amounts being added over time

Probably the coolest one in the works is the ability to root and unroot your phone via settings. The new music app is nice too. There's a lot being added every week. Its not complete or even close to being but it is looking awesome.

I'll prob use the OTA debloated/tweaked ICS build that is going to be developed regardless

Anybody know how CM9 development is going so far for the G2x?
I see a lot of good ported ROMs for Galaxy S i9000 using the AOSP 4.0.3. Even tried them and they are very good and very few bugs.
Anyone planning to start porting some of this stuff for Infuse users?
I am currently using THIS one on my SGS but will soon be getting an unlocked Infuse and wonder if this stuff can be ported for Infuse users.

So what's the problem bringing ICS to the Infuse? I have a Captivate, which I didn't think was really much different from the Infuse, and I have several ICS choices currently. My wife has the Infuse and she's getting jealous that I can have ICS and she can't!
The Captivate is a much more popular device. Even though it is much older is has a larger development community. Even Samsung bothered to keep that device up to date for a while. I know somebody who got the Captivate on 2.1. Since then she got OTA updates for 2.2 and then for 2.3. Unfortunately for us Infuse owners, we are like the red-headed step brother to the SG2 so we get no love
