[Q] Gingerbread ROM for Galaxy 3

Hi All,
I am using my Galaxy 3 on Froyo for sometime now and now I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread. I am not allowed to post under Development threads. Hence I have this post here.
Please let me know if there is any Gingerbread ROM available.
regards,
Nandi

No, there's not such ROM... developpers still work on Froyo... the others wander whether G3 supports or not Gingerbread and whether Samsung will support or not Gingerbread on G3...

Samsung won't release gingerbread for our phones, I can guarantee you that. We're lucky if we get froyo.
First, is the hardware limitation
Second, there's no point for samsung to officially release it to our phone. We're not paying them anything anymore, It's much more profitable to release a new phone with gingerbread in it. That's how biz-nes works.

@thom47 there is NO hardware limits... if phone runs froyo it can also run gingerbread

I know it can run it technically and people can cope with it, but can Samsung agree to the performance of it is a different thing. But well, we're not getting it anyways so let's not get our hopes up

well if we would have good devs they could port it to sg3 from sgs, i mean how hard could it be?? (YES, i know VERY hard)...

There are not many significant features/improvements in Gingerbread over Froyo..I would be happy to get official Froyo soon..and maybe Cyanogen Mod later

I agree,
a stable Froyo + some usable custom ROM is much more important then still a newest version.
There are not significant advantages - and our hardware (no 3d acceleration, no JIT) has its limits

Why should JIT be a matter of hardware?
MAD-Team has enabled JIT for the G5 too...

Anyway it's very cool to have gingerbread because of the lock animation

for that attitude Samsung will ruin their business very soon just because of no customer support.
Supporting customer is the best way increase brand name and free fund marketing.
Like Apple. They are supporting their customer like GOD see their fame and they dont any kind of marketing

then why LG company is saying that lg optimus one will get 2.3 i think there hardware is same as our

ICE Cream sandwich ??

Is there any conformation that LG Optimus 3d will get the next version of android. If yes then when ?

OMG!!we are waiting for Gingerbread and you're thinking about IC

Some rumors say that the update will be IS and no more gingerbread.. im not sure though

You can make sure that even in unofficially, the ice cream sandwich will exist for o3d. I know it because the omap4430 will be the ooficial chipset for ICS.

at this rate, we get icecream on 2013

No way will we get IS from LG because it wont even be on the optimus 3d 2
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk

I am sure that we will get the update because it is the update that will give the full power of the device as ICS will support dual cores fully, so with dual core and dual channel we will get much much better performance. The question is when? Actually LG should know that if they want to success in smartphones market, they should give a good support and they should beat all other companies, sonyericsson learned the lesson from their experience with X10, now they are on the top of companies that give the best support for their devices, I hope that LG learns the lesson and became the first company that rolls out ICS update(Which is not expected ).

Isn't it a bit late for LG too still be on a beta of Gingerbread in October. You would have thought they would be way past that stage by now. It'll take even longer for it to be released now.

It would make a lot more sense for LG just to go straight to Ice Cream Sandwich as they've left Gingerbread so late to be released.
I think it would be very very poor of LG if they don't even bother to release Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Do they want there reputation to go down even more.

I totally agree with that. If they are not able to release the GB this month, it's better to drop everything and start with the IC update.
It's been said that Google will release the update on Q4 which is very close now, so LG' better put themselves together and work harder, otherwise next time I buy a phone it won't be from LG.

Dear Friends,
Lg O3D is very smooth and 3D is really great with stock rom and even faster with custom roms. I am already satisfied with Froyo since i can run almost all the apps but some games related GB and some frontcam based apps. Yes, GB or ICS are really welcome but i can live with Froyo since not so much complains on performance and usage...
Kind regards

Is 3D Optimus able to update to Ice Cream Sandwich in future?

P990 even cannot , message from LG-
Dear , We will not be introducing Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich updates on LG Optimus 2X P990. Keep watching this space for further updates.
---
What a shiiit job for even a dual-core phones they did, LC, damn you!
I Wish you will be kicked away from the phone market.

Seeing how slow is going the GB update, I don't even think about ISC...

First at all we have to find answers for this question:Is 3D Optimus able to update to Gingerbread in future?

Knowing LG I bet they're wasting their time THINKING about if they want to work on a gingerbread OR ICS release. In fact... they're probably not even thinking about their 3D phone in the first place.

Check the page on gsmarena.com
Cannot post the link due to forum spam protection, but there the quote;
Update:LG Mobile posted a reply to the same question in Facebook with the following:
We do have a plan to update Ice Cream Sandwich.Now we are working on it! When the date is set we will let you know through Facebook! Please check our wall regularly! Cheers.
The above post comes a few days after the initial negative response regarding the major OS update. It appears that the consumers' feedback has finally struck a cord within the company.

It is like saying that if they release a pink 2x called ladies phone today then 2x will get it cause it was released later... the thrill is o3d with different carrier firmaware and different radio activated through kernel

We will get Gingerbread 21 november and i think we will get Ics later

I think we get update to ICS.

[LG Official Statements on Ice Cream Sandwich OS Update]
LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true. LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.

We will get ICS later on who knows when though...

LG Announced today thru PC Mag that we will be getting I've Cream Sandwich for sure. Probably by the end of November. Good news.

Well I dont want to sound mean but, didnt they promise Optimus 2x gingerbread for a year now? So I will believe them when I see it done! Other than that Great news to look foreword to.
BTW, CM will have it out for us before LG will!

Probably with less problems, too.

Remember Gingerbread when it was released... the Dev Community had it released on all phones before any phone manufacture did.
You forget to think that ICS will go through a few revisions before reaching a stable version that will be ported to other phones.
BTW... link?

probably the end of November 2012...lol :-(

Honestly, if LG reads this thread they'll think we don't even care if they release it or not. Come on guys, I for one love the fact that LG is stepping up to the plate to update the phone for us.
Whether it was due to our complaining, the hate posts on their FB page, our forum, Google pressure, or just the social responsibility of LG, it's acceptable by me.
I'm grateful for it and enthused by it. Anyways, back to the fact, it'll probably take them a while to release it, probably by like next April, but it's still an update.
I take back my post on their facebook page now. They seem like they care after all, even if they are slow, it's not like they've been huge players in the mobile industry as far as I know. So let them gain some momentum here.

Don't worry. LG is not reading this.

who cares?
- If LG does eventually put out an upgrade... it wont be untill Summer if that soon
- It will most likely suck like their GB update did.. ( froyo kernal? cmon )
- Before an official release... you STILL wont have drivers to make the phone function correctly because of NVIDIA
this is why i switched to a SGS2 hercules ....im done with LG and NVIDIA ... G2x had great potential... but i am done and will no longer buy from either company when it comes to phones

It's too bad ATi never made a phone and never will, I would have bought one if they did. Unfortunate thing now is that AMD killed ATi, otherwise it probably could have made a phone that would crush the Tegra 2, just like they do with desktop/laptop GPUs. Anyways, I knew this would happen, apparently I was one of the only people that could spot that the other facebook response from "LG" was a fake :/

You obviously never owned a SGS Vibrant.... still running Froyo 2.2 forevermore. Every company does the "shove it out the door and fuggedaboudit shuffle"...

If it used ATI drivers you'd be better off with NV and froyo kernel.

I don't understand the people who post they are finished with LG and/or the G2x and has had enough. Trade it in for another phone that they say they are happier with, works better than and all that but stay here in the G2x forum to complain. If their new phones are all that much better why aren't they in their NEW forum helping others and such.

Ice Cream Sandwich for HTC Sensation PROPABLY at end of Feb.

Hello people!
I want to share my news with you. There was many threads about release date of Ice Cream Sandwich in last time. Because I am journalist, and also IT-tech in my newspaper - I asked official Polish HTC help desk about release date. They answered me very quickly (2mins).
Here is what I received:
Witaj xxx!
Dziękuję za pytanie odnośnie Ice Cream Sanwich dla modelu Sensation.
Jeżeli informacje zostaną oficjalnie potwierdzone, model ten przejdzie testy pozytywnie, prawdopodobnie Ice Cream Sandwich pojawi się pod koniec lutego.

The special thing about it is once it's released the source code should be released which woudl give the devs the base for AOSP

Yet another topic with unfounded speculations on the ICS releasedate. Can't we just stop these useless discussions and just wait for it?

No worries. This is the whole purpose of a general sensation forum; so.that users can discuss any topic about the sensation. People can chose not to read or participate in the discussion.
I myself am happy with the current leak, so while I am hopeful that your information is correct, I won't be upset or disappointed if it is not.

Hmmm..The end of February for Poland , and most likely it is not the first Country/Region to receive the FOTA ,i think ICS update is getting so close .

not so fast there...

trust me, everyone does not like it. it is a resource hog and you can not customize the size of widgets which sucks. i use launcher pro. however, people who like htc do buy their phones because of the way sense is integrated with android. to each his own.

Sense UI is what distinguishes HTC androids from other androids. If one doesnt like the Sense UI why buy an HTC phone? Buy a Samsung, SE, Motorola etc!

As a long time n1 user in addition to the senny, I will say that it will get here when it gets here.
