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 No way is our outdated phone going to see an official build.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

Hi just got a SGS2SR for 149 upgrade price.
will be here today or tomorrow.
What is the rom everybody is running?
Is there a unlock for it?
BTW What case is everybody rocking for the skyrocket?
I flash something different every week but always come back to Skyicecream and Skyrocketeer. You can find root instructions in the development section.
I bought this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00687VCRO/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1325347009&sr=8-2
It's very thin and dosnt change the feel of the phone. Best of all it has raised edges so if you drop it on a flat surface nothing will touch the screen, perfect for people who hate screen protectors.

TPC V3 is a great rom. Very stable.if you're looking for belt holster check the surface combo case + holster from seidio.

Rooting depends on which version of android your skyrocket has. Tye on click will work 2.3.5 you need to use the odin method if your on 2.3.6 , and for a network unlock you need to go to

I have used superoneclick to root multiple times successfully and painlessly. The roms posted in the dev section all have their own merits...sky ice cream sandwich is my current fav, mostly because I'm a big fan of the ICS theme.
I prefer sky ice cream sandwich. Bln works great and very stable.

hey thats actually one of the few cases that aren't awful
I've flashed every rom and keep going back to BeastMod (tmobile rom). Flash your stock kernel (at&t/rogers) and push the touchwiz30 apk from our device (much smoother for some reason) and you have an awesome rom. Again to each their own this is just my 0.02
I'm starting to hear negative things about the development of this phone. Like it's the odd-ball of the GS2 family, and won't be developed on too much....
You have no idea what your talking about theres a ton of development going on

Yea a little due to the diff chipset which we need for LTE data. But on the other hand its the same as the T-mobile version and the Telus Hercules.(minus lte). So in some ways we have like 4 different phones that are one. If you count the skyrocket/gs2 lte (rogers) versions. I was a little worried at first too but I use the Tmobile section for roms more than this thread and they have a few good devs. Together it feels pretty solid. Also its pretty new too. I just really want ICS already and then I really couldnt care less lol

I was on the ultimate rom team and started the captivate port of ultimate rom
Got phone called activated added insurance flashed cwm quickwiz and rogers radio
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.
No

Isnt ajerman working on an ics rom though?
Would have been good to have though. Couple of these AOKP ROMs are really good. Even better IMHO than where CM9 has reached.

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

Switch phones. She gets crappy ics and you get a great phone.
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.

Noticed that the T-Mobile SGS II is getting it's ICS update today. Considering both the phones are pretty much the same inside, can the T-Mobile ICS rom be able to be ported to our device the Skyrocket?
I'm sure the answer is yes.

Hope it's not really 4.0.3, given our last leak was 4.0.4.
Yeah. I saw that too. But once we have kernel source all SHOULD be well.

But an official 4.0.3 with all features working will do until our official 4.0.4 is released. At least for me.

I've been on a home brew UCLE2 based rom since it dropped and have been pretty happy with it. Only wish battery life was a bit better, but power save mode seems to make a big difference with that.
Its touchwiz. Don't know why everyone is hyped other than the kernel source being available.

Wouldn't it be amazing if AT&T blessed our ICS with TW UX? That would do some serious brand strengthening. Too bad it is very unlikely.

Were either of you expecting something else? If you thought it was going to be stock ICS then you're either on the wrong board or purchased the wrong phone.
It gets really old reading all of this whining about Touchwiz. This is the SKYROCKET forums. It comes with Touchwiz, always has and always will. Frankly if you two hate it so much why in the world did either of you purchase this phone?
Some of us are quite happy with Touchwiz and are excited to finally be seeing a complete and fully functioning ICS rom that could run on our phones.
First off I knew it would have touchwiz I'm not an idiot don't treat me like one. You have your oppinion and I have mine the only exciting thing for me is source the rest of it for me is just an update
Edit: and btw we have aosp roms which means I can like this phone and hate tw

Oh man u guys well he's right it is touchwizz and the kernel source can change alot of thing$ underclock and new custom kernel the II can change to aosp and the 4.0.3 is compatible. With 4.0.4

So even though you knew it had Touchwiz you purchased the phone anyway. That's great. Now we all know how much you hate it. Thanks for sharing this completely unneeded opinion.
I would like to ask, what exactly does this opinion have to do with the topic of this thread? As frankly it appears as if you just wanted to inject your negativity for no reason other than to rain on the parade of those that are excited about the update and are happy with their purchase of a Touchwiz skinned device.
For the sake of not creating a high school drama here which you clearly want.
