So uhh, i dont know if anyone has seen this.. but here you go
http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-android-2-3-gingerbread-update-imminent-20110225/
It looks like a legit release for 2.3 for Galaxy S. If thats the case, how hard would it be to port it from that to the captivate?
and a march release
Oh and btw... dont flame me if its wrong or anything.. im just a guy posting something he found... which may help out the community -.-

I think this has been posted a couple of times (can't remember, but I know I've seen it around the web a couple of times). Either way, right now it's a "friend of a friend said this" type thing. Until there is some proof myself and many others will remain skeptical.
Another issue is that the Galaxy S phones are much more popular in other parts of the world. With Samsung trying to charge all the carriers upgrade fees like they did with 2.2, causing a lot of the delays, the carriers may not be interested in upgrading the phone to 2.3 even if Samsung has it ready. Especially since we're going to see the SGS 2 and multiple other newer and better phones out by then. The Captivate and other SGS phones will be low end phones by then, and the carriers probably won't want to pay Samsung for updates to an old phone.
oh man! so theres the possibility of never seeing a legit 2.3? :S i guess il have to live with CM7.
ANY custom rom will be better than the rom its based off of.
WHO CAN?
XDA CAN!!

Was it? I hadn't heard that, but I didn't pay that much attention to the AT&T release of 2.2 since I've been running 2.2 for months.
Either way, even if it doesn't come to a money issue, it's still going to come down to the same issue. The SGS 2 will have replaced the SGS by the time Samsung would have Gingerbread ready, and I wouldn't doubt at all if this phone never saw another update. It was hard enough to get 2.2 out of Samsung when this phone was their flagship, let along getting them to push one more update when it's replacement is already ready.
Edit: Just read an article about that, you're right. I hadn't seen Samsung's reply to that rumor. I guess that just makes Samsung lazy and not lazy and greedy, haha.

It was debunked by Samsung denying it, which means it wasnt really debunked.
I wouldn't expect them to be public about such things....you can have a "price to prioritize" or something which is essentially the same thing but allows you to say you aren't charging for the upgrade.
I'm not saying I know what's going on, I'm just saying I don't trust Samsung at their word.

Why do you assume it was samsung that held back the update? It was more than likely ATT, being that other providers had already released the update.

Pretty sure there would be some sort of outcry from carriers if Samsung was lying. There would probably be more legal ramifications if Samsung lied about not charging for updates rather than some bad publicity about charging for the updates.

Samsung did its part in holding up the update by not wanting to pay the fee the service providers were charging. Same goes with all carriers that were way behind on the 2.2 update.
I'll be skipping it. I had problems with the 2.2 update and just flashed my first ROM. So much faster and the battery lasts a ton longer

You're stating the obvious. Why would anyone modify a ROM to make to inferior to the original? It would be nice if there were an original 2.3 to base something on.

No what he is doing is his usual routine of taking a dump on any post where someone mentions being interested in Samsung firmware releases, because he thinks what is already out via third-parties is all anyone with a brain should want. And yet the AT&T Froyo release resulted in, in my opinion, the best ROM yet from DesignGears.

you obviously haven't tried any 2.2.1 i9000 roms then... Because they blow the doors off any official froyo rom from samsuck. I tried cog 4 and torch and it lagged beyond belief, no offense to dg, but its samsucks fault.

I was running the official Rogers 2.2. and it was better than the official 2.1 that I played around with for a few days first to compare. However, putting Firefly 2.3 (and Andromeda 1.2 before that) I can certainly confirm that the custom rom route is definitely the way to go. MUCH faster (lagfix probably has huge impact on this) far more functional (rooted) better battery consumption (custom kernels) and IMO far better support. I can tell you I fully expect that XDA and the like would provide far superior peer based support than you'd get from your provider. Of course chances are if you weren't putting custom stuff on your phone you'd be far less likely to need it, but the collective knowledge here for general support of devices is far more impressive than some tech support drone that you'd speak to if you called in to you provider.

Let's be honest, this phone could have come with 2.2 on it already when it shipped. Samsung took quite a while to get 2.2 ready even for the I9000s. There are always going to be carriers delays after it's ready, but Samsung took their time as well.

Froyo was announced less than 2 months before this phone shipped. The source wasn't available until less than a month before. I see no problem with shipping with 2.1 under these circumstances.

I've used 2.2.1 ROMs and they are great. If I recall Serendipity is one and it was my favorite prior to Andromeda (which is 2.2 i9010 based and very fast). Cog 4.1 is the first of DGs ROM I've used for more than a day in months; I haven't been a huge fan. As soon as i9000 kernels became mostly trouble free I moved on. I'm not saying the others were bad and I'm not saying 4.1 is better than brand x, I just like it better than previous DG ROMs I tried.
As for your lag problems with Cog 4.1, I don't doubt you, I just don't have it, but I'm using the Paragon kernel which may account for our different experiences.
The leak was out a while ago right?
So how long would it take them to release the official gingerbread OTA or via kies???
Another month? or most likely more?
Probably not for a while. I'm guessing somewhere around Janurary or Feburary.
I think KH1 or one of the others was an update through Kies but Samsung removed it.
Hopefully they'll release an official release before they release Hercules.
For now ICINB or Valhalla are 2 good Gingerbread ROMs. Even the stock KH2 is good. I'm currently on Valhalla.

Personally u just gave up on Tmobile GB official release. They really only care about money. Soft ware support for their devices is all the way in the bottom of their priority list unless it bring in direct cash income.
Are you blaming Tmobile? Definitely is samsungs responsibility to provide the update not t mo
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Yes t mo may do otas but they have to be given the update from the devs which I believe Samsung is holding out or not prioritizing it cause they want more moola

Why would tmobile want this gb leaks to their customers?They are holding up because these samsung gb are kinda pathetic to release to the masses..bluetooth issues,low wifi signal when your only like inches away etcc..if they release gb like this you"ll have many customers calling tmobile about issues left and right.unless samsung figures out a really good gb release of THEIR OWN device its not coming out!..dev s make gb good on this phone
Ohh and lets not forget sg2 is around the corner,samsung might just screw us over or the people who are waiting on GB! Tmobile in general are idiots but on this ill agree with them releasing this would just bring them more trouble than good!
My bet is that if Hercules gets released before gb update then there will be no update. That will be Samsung and t mobiles flagship device. Their focus will be on that and ice cream for the newest phones.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Yeah good point
BTW, Ice cream sandwich is designed to receive OTAs directly from google, instead of from the phone makers. So, ice cream sandwich will only work, if they remove the updater function or dump touchwiz. And I highly doubt that they will dump touchwiz, so that means Galaxy s will die with all their devices being stuck on GB(or leaks), and they are not doing any more nexus line phones. HTC or LG will be making nexus 3. Also, you said that they would focus on releasing ICS to the newer devices, I doubt that. GB was already long out when our phone was released on Froyo. And "50+%" chance that GB will never officially come to our phones. So what makes you think that they will update to ICS. They will probably give out buggy leaks and die there.
Phone release on eclair or froyo from Sammy, will stay on Froyo.
Phone release on GB from Sammy, will stay on GB.
That is my point. Not to make anyone's hopes down. We will have a lot more fun with this phone, I guarantee that CM7 will "eventually" work and we will many more roms to come.
PS. I never liked Sammy. This was just the best phone when I bought it
im going to disagree that the sgs4g in your mind wont be getting ics as google plans to release it to all devices to unify and defragment the android os.. remember samsung makes the hardware and some of the applicatons that go in the phone they how ever do not make the os. t mobile att verizon orange vodaphone will submit to google the stuff they want in there rom (the bloatware we remove ) Once approved that there features do not break the os (this is why they do test for the most part.) the carriers get there updates and wala so do u once they are pushed out as ota or keis
You have a great point. But touchwiz is created by samsung. Standardly, otas are pushed out as recovery edify flash able files with a META-INF, and a /system and etc folders. Samsung releases their kies otas that flash a bunch of rfs files. Samsung maintains their rfs file system and zImage kernel form. Android uses boot.imgs. So in order to use ICS, there will probably need to be an irreversible boot loader flash that will make the phone use boot.imgs instead of zImages. Possibly revert method would be flash old bls with CWM or stock androidbl
I find it disheartening that people are now guessing january or february for a gb release, when in july everyone was saying august or september.
I knew before purchasing this phone that Samsung sucks at updating firmware, but it truly seemed to have the best features at the time, and to be honest, (six months later) I'm glad I didn't wait for the S2. When does the Hercules come out btw?
Also, how long would it take a noob to load a custom rom/bootloader, and would it be possible with a mac?

Disheartening indeed. The longer they take to release it the longer we all have to wait for kernel sources to be release and they have up to 3 months I believe after the OTA release to release kernel source code. Until then we have no custom kernels for GB that support cool things like Voodoo for sound and BLN. Those two things not being available for GB though the former is thanks to RaverX3X, are the sole reasons why I still stick to froyo.

To all those super developers out there.
Assuming that Ice Cream Sandwich is running on a suped up Galaxy S2 for Verizon, with LTE. How fast do you think you guys will get it over to the Charge?
Also, I have never bought any of that team Black Hat stuff, but if you could get me ICS a month after release, I would be more than happy to pay you for it.
Many of you are younger guys, and you seem to work for charity, but why? Business is business, if you've got something people want, consider charging for it.
I'm sure some people are reading this thinking I am nuts, but if these guys charged for roms, they would have more time to put into it. In some respects I am just saying what everyone already know, you get what you pay for.
Thank you to the entire dev community. Keep up the good work.

are you talking about the complete system dump of ICS as a stock rom? or custom rom like Gummy/Humble using it as a base? If it's the first option it could take a while longer... though it kinda makes me wonder if VZ is holding out on GB for us to get ICS to our phones, it seems kinda pointless to upgrade us to GB then this magical new build ICS comes out a month later

This would be my guess unfortunately. Of course I have no evidence or reasons to support my belief, but its my guess nonetheless
If the charge does get ics i highly doubt it will be before summer of 2012. To be honest i wouldn't even count on that though. At least going by there current track record of verizon and sammy. But only time will tell.
I just really hope that these top end phones will start keeping up with current android builds. the fascinate was on eclair when gb was released and now the charge is on froyo and ics is about to be released.
well isn't ICS supposed to be like the universal android build for all devices? you'd think they'd wanna push it out to all (perhaps more recent ones) android smartphones
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
idk but i hope your right anoninja. It would be nice to see.
I'm counting on JT getting CM7 finished and pulled into the CM mainline. Hopefully that will eventually lead to some ICS goodness in CM8.
T-Mobile has had leaked ICS Roms for both HTC devices running Sense 3.0. The Sensation 4G, and Amaze 4G. Most people felt like the Amaze would never get the 3.6 Update. But now they have a leaked RUU, bloat and all. Now that a good number of Sense 3.0 devices have an ICS update. I think it's time for the Doubleshot to get a ICS update. The Gingerbread RUU was leaked before this phone came out. I'm sure Football will manage to get a leaked Rom. We have all the proper specs, and I know we have 1 Million plus ICS Update threads. But with all the new updates, come on. It's about time.

Either way, we've been making stunning progress even without an official update.
Have you checked out the sticky on ICS configuration tree in the dev section?
That's some great progress
I encourage anyone who knows anything dev to pop in and see if they can help. It will make cooking roms much easier and also greatly increase our chances of CM support.

Undeadk9 was claiming that he knew a "level 3" tech support at T-Mobile who told him there would not be any ICS for MT4GS. I heard all that sort of crap back when I had a Moto Cliq and the MT3GS, some "friend" in "tech support" telling bullsh*t. No doubt there is a friend, but believing that friend has information that nobody else has is very unrealistic.
T-Mobile updated even the ancient original MyTouch from 1.6 all the way to Froyo 2.2. I don't see them completely abandoning this phone, especially since the hardware is so similar to their other models like the Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G. HTC would only need to incorporate the Genius system.

You just confirmed that you really don't know sh*t. EOL has no bearing on whether a phone receives an update. T-Mobile has updated many phones long after they went EOL in their system. The entire MyTouch lineup, including the original, got updated to Froyo within a few months of each other, LOOOOOOONG after they had all gone EOL.
And what's the crap about no development on this phone? You can't be taken seriously spewing crap like that. Look around, dude. Here and Virtuous are full of dev for this phone.

I threw AOKP in the mix by mistake. Either way, you're missing the point. There are stable (DEFINE: something I can use daily, with features I won't miss - obviously that differs from person to person) ICS roms out there. And if something like autobrightness isn't working, and that's what got you in a hunch, then you need to stick to the stock rom. Honestly I could care less about little quibbles like that.
My point is 95% of what you would need, even on a daily basis is working. And for some roms, it's even more than that. That's pretty outstanding considering we don't even have an official kernel or update.
Honestly, this thread has spiraled into a pointless opinion thread.
I refrain from posting any further.
You may think what you wish
I keep seeing people on here saying "phones with sense 3.0". I hope yall realize that we don't even have a real version of Sense.. its a Rosie/Doubleshot version. I don't see HTC modifying/myTouching the new version of sense and ICS for the doubleshot.

Which is simply your uninformed and unknowing opinion, no more credible than anyone which differs. You claimed to have "inside information", which is pure bullsh*t.
I hope so. None of the custom ICS ROMs are stable, always several things missing or not working that prevent me from using it long term and those ROMs havent been updated in over a month.
Like I've said in several ics threads like this, the mytouch 4g will not receive ics.
Reason being, the mt4g has T-Mobile's sense version(my sense). For the mytouch 4g to be able to receive ics, T-Mobile would have to get rid of their mysense version of sense which they won't do on a T-Mobile specific device or HTC would have to create 2 versions of ics, one compatible with mytouch 4g's mysense and a regular ics for the rest of the devices.
You guys also gotta realize we didn't even receive a sense 3.0 update.
U all keep forgetting that HTC rebranded the phone in canada to the HTC Panache...
So its not only a MYSENSE Tmobile phone
so it is possible that other carriers in canada request that ICS gets on this phone
thats my 2 cents on this subject

Exactly, in Canada. If my memory serves me rights, they didn't even receive android 2.3.4.
But lets say he Canadian version of the mytouch receives ics, the US T-Mobile won't. Again same reason, panache=sense/T-Mobile mytouch 4g=mysense.
Im rooted and I am about to flash a new kernel, Im not going to do any romming yet since the ICS update should be coming by the end of the month (should be). I was just wondering what is the best modem/radio for the skyrocket. I currently have UCLA3 and I live in Grand rapids, MI. I dont believe we get LTE here, but I am usually on 4G. I searched but couldnt really find anything solid. Thanks!
You already have latest GB radio UCLA3.
I like the ucle2 radio on all roms. My favorite combo is nexus mod gb 4.3 with that radio and the faux kernel.
But everyone has different results in different geographic locations, it seems. Ucla3 is known to be a very good radio in most areas.
I don't have lte in my area either...

Yeah.. I wouldn't count on it coming out anytime soon... AT&T being AT&T and all. That bloatware doesn't install itself.
That being said, I travel around the midwest a fair bit and have found UCLE2 to work quite well.
I would stick with UCLA3. It has awesome battery life. There are plenty of awesome roms built around this too. I liked Stock Mod 2. With the faux kernel of course.
Might as well try a ROM, it was the radio change that made my Kies say "this device is not supported" . After I flashed the original ROM and kernel, it wasn't until I flashed the radios back, then it said" this is the latest firmware"

Im rooted and I am about to flash a new kernel, Im not going to do any romming yet since the ICS update should be coming by the end of the month (should be). I was just wondering what is the best modem/radio for the skyrocket. I currently have UCLA3 and I live in Grand rapids, MI. I dont believe we get LTE here, but I am usually on 4G. I searched but couldnt really find anything solid. Thanks!

If you're already rooted and flashing kernels why not just flash a rom? I highly doubt the ics update gonna come by the end of the month but even if it does you'll probably end up trying a few different iterations of it from the different devs here... It's kinda like a new phone everytime you flash...lol Especially since cm9, aokp and aosp are kinda close to being ready as well...
knowing me Ill end up flashing a ROM lol, thanks for all the info everyone!
