Hey guys,
Theres a Android 4.0.1 official from Samsung released for the i9100: http://www.sammobile.com/2011/12/14/exclsuive-android-4-0-1-by-samsung-for-sgs2-custom/ . Wow it looks like they made Ice Cream Sandwich look like dog **** so do you guys think we can expect the same for our skyrocket and how long would it take!
+1 can't wait
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
that has major issues from what i hear. it will still be a while...
Do you know how many dev work on international sgs2? They have dev thread full of devs from all over the world. I can guess about 20 devs or more and they have tons of roms and kernels. We have bunch of devs too but idk who will bring it on skyrocket. I am not talking about official ics either.
They got a leak. What can we expect you asked? No one knows it may or.may not get leaked. Depends on if anyone has a friend inside.. which i dont believe anyone on ou..r forum does so dont expect a leak if it happens great but just because the gs2 did does not mean anything for us. Ours is a completly different phone..
+1 Amen... Cant wait for ICS for S/R, will keep an eye out for CM9-stable in the meantime..
Knowing AT&T, they'll want to keep their latest and greatest phone with the greatest network up to date with the greatest software, so they probably have an alpha build of ICS for our phone, just no leak.
Hate to burst people's hopes, I saw posted somewhere in Twitter that someone had leaked a document showing the unverified release dates for various phones to get ICS.. however, the Samsung Galaxy S II series phones will NOT be seeing anything on ICS until approximately April 2012.
Now I know our phones are part of the SGS2 series, but don't know if it's included in that approximate release date !!

If I interpret your sarcasm correctly, I read "Get real - they're just as likely to say 'What's a Skyrocket? Are you sure you don't mean this conceptually identical phone called the Skyrocket 2 that's currently on sale on-contract (for you, sucker!) that comes pre-loaded with ICS?'"

Lmao, yeah, I'm sure AT&T really cares about updates. That's why they haven't even bothered to push out the already completed Infuse Gingerbread update, even though that's one of their most popular phones.
I guarantee you this: The international Galaxy S II LTE and/or the T989 will get their release first, and we'll all be flashing ROMs based on that long before AT&T gets around to doing an update.

Yeah, this is actually a possibility. The Skyrocket HD might come with ICS, in which case we'll have it too around the same time.
Luckily there are a LOT of popular variants of our hardware that feature largely identical internals, so I'm not too worried about us having to wait TOO long.
That's the main reason I didn't get the Captivate Glide, even though I love landscape keyboards. The Tegra internals and Samsung's lack of firm commitment on updates were enough to scare me away.
I need to know I'm going to have ICS, and the Skyrocket, Vivid, and Galaxy S II were really the only sure things for ICS on AT&T.

They pulled it because of a deep with the ROM, that Samsung never noticed.
There's no reason to push a GB update now that Samsung has the nessesary things for ICS.

not even close.
you can install TMOBILE GS2 roms with skyrocket kernel, but not any other GS2 roms.
Why does everyone try and speculate? Patience people.... Nothing is different from the original statement from Samsung and it doesn't change anything trying to interperate things differently than what they are. And NO, the Galaxy S2 is not categorized the same at the Skyrocket.
Samsung
Official statements:
Samsung Electronics plan to provide the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for GALAXY devices. The platform update for GALAXY S II and GALAXY Note will start in the first quarter 2012, and other GALAXY devices will soon follow.
The ICS-upgradable devices are the GALAXY S II, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Note, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 10.1, GALAXY Tab 8.9, GALAXY Tab 7.7, and GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus.
For upgradable models, Samsung will make separate announcements on details of OS updates schedule for each market according to market situation and carriers' requirements. [December 20, 2011]

We can use T-Mobile Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) roms, but NOT international GS2 or AT&T GS2 roms. VERY important distinction.
Our phone is the Galaxy S II LTE internationally. It's totally different hardware from the main GS2. T-Mobile's thing isn't LTE but uses the same hardware as ours for related reasons (needing a different modem than the one in the Exynos).
I think the Touchwiz will kill it. Pure 4.0 Vanilla is the best!
Looks like at&t got another damn skyrocket....you have got to be kidding me?!?!

I'll be buying this one, and selling my tmobile version, I deserve a nice screen.
I wont buy a phone with the same specs as mine just better screen when at the end of the summer the Galaxy S 3 with Quad core will be in the US.

still happy with mine
one thing is for sure
ATT customers are going to be so freaking confused with all the different models of Galaxy S2 available in store and online
I wish Samsung would spend more time taking care of it's current customers by pushing ICS. I know it's about making money but seriously, it's current customer base needs to be happy too. Three Galaxy S models on AT&T. That's just retarded and seems like overkill.
ATT gets so much love from smartphone manufacturers and they are the absolute WORST carrier EVER! EVER! When I was switching carriers I had them for less than a week and it was the worst experience I've had owning a phone since I was on Metro PCS many, many moons ago.
I had an average of 3 dropped calls per day, and they completely f*cked up my very first bill. Overcharging me for crap I did not order. Three phone calls and three visits to the ATT store and they still could not get it right. The third trip was to return everything and tell them where they can stick it, and they are STILL trying to charge me for a month's use when I didn't even have the phone 5 days.
I don't understand why they get so many good phones. It's irritating!
Damn, if I had AT&T and was one of the people to get the first SGS2 I would be BEYOND mad. You buy the latest and greatest for it to be at least relevant for 5-6 months before something else comes out, main reason why I sold my sensation once the Amaze was announced.
i wonder how many people Samsung and Motorola just pissed off with these devices....i mean seriously....Droid Razr Maxx??? Razr just frickin released...although another Skyrocket device should mean another phone where we can use their development, correct?
and yea, the skyrocket is a nice device (and the new one) but id honestly love a device with the Exynos, so if it were me, id probably get the first version

Unfortunately this is just the way it is and will probably get worse. Buy a phone and a month later something "newer and better" gets released. Sure you can wait for the galaxy s3 to come out but a week later the galaxy nexus ultra gets released. A month after that the galaxy s3 supreme. No wonder android is so fragmented.

the good thing is all these phones are the same with only a few minor differences....but these are differences that rooting solves! like how we can overclock, but when Samsung does it, its a new device! lol! we just need some CM9 love and all this will be irrelevant, as we will be having the latest and greatest SOFTWARE (more important!!!) Dual-Core is really unnecessary until ICS
oh yea, and Quad core??? why the hell do we need that many?? I dont see how playing hardcore games on a phone is better than playing on a gaming console with a controller? How much faster can these phones get?? lol

Android is out of control. New phones monthly and lack of support for older phones. Google seems to not care. What's even worst is all these phones all run gingerbread. You buy the newest and greatest and you get last years software.

Personally, the Snapdragon has left a sour taste. Maybe its TouchWiz's fault. Thankfully the SkyRocket, the HD and the Note are all Snapdragon - pushing more pixels with the same CPU = good luck with that. Ergo, not that disappointed.

The 'Android Development' section for the Galaxy Blaze looks sad
Go take a look yourself.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1559
I understand developers are EXTREMELY BUSY people and the Blaze is somewhat new. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone promise me they'll try to drop a ROM for the Blaze..that would be comforting enough..

Most developers like to own the device they dev for.... so until people grab the blaze, others wait.
Yeah I understand 100%. But the only way we'll get something for the Blaze would be to reach out and get it out there which I figured I can try to do.

What are you looking to have done? Some themeing with some basic Mods? My S2 is down right now, Bricked it working on MIUI so I have some time on hands.. I will be working blind so you will have to test for me.. LMK
theres hardly any love here to begin with
@Racing19969 sure thing man, anything basic is welcome, as long as its better than stock..im sure that theres a lot of people out there with the Blaze, who just want "something" you know...
Oh and the reason why i switched from an S2 was because the small size of the Blaze is awesome and it gets the job done, packin the same proccessor as the S2. It was a matter of PREFERENCE, so don't tell me the S2 was the better phone..cuz even my baby niece knows that.

purchase a blaze and mail it to a dev. simple as that

If it has the exact same hardware then flash a GSII gingerbread ROM..
Check all specs and make sure you have insurance...
My guess it the ROM may boot, but you will have bootloops only because of framework and the android.policy jar file

the fact the blaze has the same hardware with a smaller screen doesn't appeal to devs all too much. This phone doesn't appeal to devs all that much in fact. If you want devs you got to bribe them like this community.

Id swap out vold for sure because the device emmc is different then ours as its smaller (according to what google tells me). otherwise flashing one of our roms could very well brick them.
I agree maybe a bounty of some kind for a Dev to do work. The real problem is its a similar device but has less internal memory, not as good of a front or rear camera, no nfc, smaller battery.. ect.. ect..
With a similar price tag i am not sure why youd buy the Blaze anyways..

I've stated in post #9 why I have a Blaze, this thread wasnt titled "S2 VS Blaze" thank you.
Hey, I don't personally own a skyrocket but I am the market for one.
I have a slight misconception; in terms of development, the s2 skyrocket and the s2 hd lte are two totally different phones am I correct?
I am more attracted to the HD, yet I cannot even find a section for it on xda (Please correct me if I am mistaken).
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes they are two different devices.
The HD LTE isn't a very popular device, since the Skyrocket HD was cancelled.

Would you guys recommend that I get the Skyrocket, the HD, the OG S2 or the Galaxy Nexus? I kind of want LTE, but it's definitely not the deal breaker.
Is the lower ppi really noticeable?
I would go with the galaxy nexus hands down very smart sleek device also u get updates faster directly from Google also there is more mods foe the nexus out there senses its a popular device but if u want lte witch is also great well just go with the skyrocket HD but I don't really see the point if lte is not fully up yet in most areas

The Rogers S2 LTE is identical to the AT&T Skyrocket in every way except what carrier it's locked too, and what ROM comes stock on it. All custom development for the Skyrocket works 100% on the S2 LTE.
It depends what price you can get them for and what you intend to do with them.
I would suggest doing some googling of the differences (Google "Skyrocket vs Nexus" for example), and figure out what's best for you.
Personally I think if it was between the Skyrocket and the Nexus, it would be Skyrocket hands down. It has better specs, better screen, bigger battery, better camera, etc. The downside is it comes with Samsung's touchwiz flavour of Android (and Gingerbread at that, until recently maybe?) and does not get regular updates from Google as they come out.
That said, there are some top notch developers working on ICS ROMS for the Skyrocket (CyanogenMod, AOKP, Sky ICS, etc), so there is a wide array of different custom ROMS available. You just have to be willing to dive in and learn some stuff, it's quickly turning into an addicting hobby for me.
Not sure on the S2 HD, but what about the S3? It has native 720p resolution if that is important to you.

I wish I could afford the S3 hahaha
I understand all your facts regarding better specs except the screens. Isn't the screen on the Nexus better than the screen on the Skyrocket? The Nexus has a much high resolution and the only difference as far as I know is that the Skyrockets is armed with Super AMOLED Plus while the Nexus has only Super AMOLED. Is the difference in colour so drastic?
I get you about roms and such haha, fellow flashaholic here
Is the Skyrocket going to receive JB via ports or OTA soon?

Oh I guess the Nexus has higher resolution, but the main difference for me is the scratch resistance. The gorilla glass on the skyrocket makes all the difference, the nexus my friend has is scratched to **** and my skyrocket that has no screen protector and lives in my pocket is completely fine after 2 or 3 months now.
I've personally compared a nexus to a skyrocket side by side with the same image, and I didn't notice really any difference in image quality. The skyrocket actually seemed better to me? I dunno.
Cyanogen has come out and said they will be working on CM10 as soon as JB source is released. They will stop development of CM9 once they've released a stable 9.0.0 and focus on supporting CM7 and releasing CM10. They also don't seem to think it will be difficult to port since the differences between ICS and JB are less numerous then GB to ICS was.
Anyway, I don't proclaim to be an expert, but the skyrocket wins in my opinion due its superior hardware.
Edit: I wouldn't count on anything OTA ever happening, official ICS is only just now being released by Rogers...

Nexus, for me the software is more important than the hardware and with the Nexus I'd be getting pure Android and quick updates, as opposed to something hacked together by Samsung which gets released if they feel like bothering.
Samsung Galaxy, the nexus is having too many quality issues.
Kinda funny though, I still want one but refuse to buy it until the forum discussions change from quality problems/workarounds to use problems/workarounds.
Nexus is newer but galaxy s2 is still getting plenty of love in development and updates, plus has additional sd storage capability so galaxy s2
