Gingerbread Preview

I find it surprising that more people aren't talking about the gingerbread preview and that it hasn't even been posted yet. I want to give it a try even if it is an early build.

They're prolly busy being excited about CM7.
via LG G2x

CM7 for G2x isn't ready for primetime yet. Just flashed it and had many issues. Had to go back to stock.
The gingerbread build seems just about complete besides the camera app.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I know. just saying people would prolly care more if CM7 weren't around. if I've learned one thing about xda its buggy cm7 keeps people happier than no cm7.

I would like to flash this leaked build as well .

...
Maybe people are wising up and are finally deciding not to start yet another speculation thread...

It's not a speculation thread if the leak is already out there. Just needs to be posted.

Speculation about a future release, speculation about a leak... None of which is official, so it all sounds like speculation to me. Just sayin it how I see it.
All of this is discussion here is trivial though. I think there is a thread up for it by now anyways.

Guy, you really are clueless right now. There's a difference between trying to guess when an update is coming and knowing that a leak is out there but hasn't been posted and asking why not ... Within the Vibrant community when there was even a clue to a leak, people were on it til they found it and it was posted. Didnt matter if it were an early build or not, it was posted for the community. If you don't get that well I can't help you.

I guess it just comes down to a matter of opinion really. I think that its silly to go out asking for the leak because its either with a) someone who can/wants to share it or b) someone who can't/won't. And if the answer was in fact 'a' it would have no doubt reached our doorsteps by now. This is the internet, how much faster do we need it to get to us...
Now all arguments aside. I'm not sure why I targeted this thread in particular but I was bored during break at work and in a sour mood lately thinking about reality. So if I'm off character here or in any way wrong on my thoughts then feel free to ignore me. I guess I was kinda looking for senseless argument from the begining alongside my sour disposition and in that manner I was childish. I apologize for that. I'll back off as I should have never really gossiped here to begin with. Sorry.

I read one of Paul OBrien's tweets and he said first:
"Hmmm, might be time to share the G2X Gingerbread build with everyone, whad'ya reckon?"
Then he said:
"Not home today but tomorrow... would be a nice treat for G2X users for the weekend no? ;-)"
Sounds promising. CM7 is great and all, but i myself wouldn't mind playing with a stock GB build either.

Do SGS4G's come with 2.3.3 from factory?

Hey guys, I'm getting this phone via CL. The one I'm looking at guy says its preloaded with 2.3.3 via factory.
Question is if that's even possible since I know OTA for GB on this phone has never happened?
Also, to root it would I just Odin to GB bootloaders or Honks kernel?
Thanks guys!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

It wont be preloaded with GB via factory
You will need to flash a leaked GB like kg4 so you can have the GB bootloaders then flash drhonks kernel and your set
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

I'd ask for a screenshot for proof since these phones haven't even gotten official gb yet.
Yes you'd be able to root it with honk's kernel. You can also follow my gb starter pack guide to get good bootloaders etc.
Sent from my awesome SGS4G

Thanks guys. My only worry was that rooting and flashing would be different in case it is on 2.3.3.
But glad to know that I can still follow FB's guide to get to where I want it to be. I'm gonna let my beloved MT4G go for this so I hope I won't regret lol. Just wanted something different.
Appreciate the response once again!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I doubt it would be a problem, since Odin would take care of everything. However, if the guy said it came preloaded with 2.3.3, you should probably make sure he's not giving you something else.

Sweet. Can't wait to give it a shot then!
Also, probably a stupid question. But since they're working on getting MIUI fully functional, does that mean CM7 is just around the corner since CM7 is the base of MIUI?

to be honest, we thought we were going to get cm7 first because krylon and drhonk were working on it
the kernel was giving them A LOT of problems and slowed down development, im pretty sure they are still working on it however i havent seen any updates on their work in awhile
if not maybe some of us devs could start the cm project as well

Coming from the mt4g, I understand where you're coming from. You won't be disappointed, raver, dsexton, krylon, whitehawx, drhonk, and atoore, and anyone else I may have missed, are all very talented devs and make the phone worth the switch. So weather it be team acid, or team whiskey, you'll be happy.

ICS Ported to Captivate

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324831
It's works pretty well for it's early stage. I have it on a Captivate now and it does have some functionality. No camera, GPS seems borked, but 3G and WiFi do function. Things are looking up folks. We may actually see some Ice Cream on our phones! The Movie Studio doesn't work (for me at least, not sure about others), but it's a welcome feature once fixed. Something Android has been missing since the start. This could prolly be Hellraised, but I'd wait until more kinks are worked out. It's very Alpha at this point.

If all these other phones are getting ics ported b4 us then hope might as well be lost We don't have as much dev interest as all these other phones do.

Well, if we wait for the cappy or i9000 to get it first, basicly our infuses is the same device, just bigger and a tiny bit different. Then linux could probably port it pretty easily.

Wow!
That was fast. Infuse Kids....I think we're gonna see ICS before AT&T blesses GB!
And that would be a shame. I'm very excited. I'd love to try this out on my wife's Cappy for a spin. Will a nandroid backup successfully restore the custom GB Rom she's rocking now if I flash ICS?

WTF my old phone gets ICS before my current newer phone. I hope we get something soon.

I tried messing with it today changing the boot.img and some egl and lib files...havent got it to boot yet....im thinking we r gonna need a kernel with modified mtd partitions before we get a patially working port..

There have been more that have been locked as off topic. It seems like every day there's a new topic about someone porting ICS for another phone.
And this doesn't really mean ICS for us any more than the I9000 port did.
Regardless, I have some time off finally, so I'm working on something.

Yeah, I'm close to getting something running I think, but I'm not working on it again until Monday, sorry. I don't have a Linux dev system set up at home to work on it with, so I stick to working on it at work and I'm out until Monday.

Believe you me, ICS is worth the wait. I have it running on my Captivate.

[Q] ICS for Infuse?

So my friend has a captivate, and he has a Stock ICS rom. I was just wondering the possibility of a Stock ICS rom for the infuse. I know there are Roms that are suppose to look like ICS, but they aren't even based off of ICS. My question is, is there a STOCK ICS rom based on android 4.0, and if not what is the likelihood of there being one?

I don't know why don't you use the search button and find out for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I did, and found nothing, except for the fact that all the ones that say ICS are just themed to ICS and not even based of ICS

Or you could look at the 5th thread in this section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

You mean the HellRaiser? How would this solve my problems exactly, I can't find any ICS roms for galaxy devices except the one for captivate, but it says in order to do the captivate roms, the rom needs to be based off samsung gingerbread. A true ICS Rom would be based off of Ice Cream Sandwich.

No. The one that has the title is anyone planning a custom ics rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Oh, sorry. thanks. That does suck though. I think it would be a great idea. All these developers just don't want to do it I guess. I probably would have donated to someone who would do it. Ahh well. I guess the infuse gets no love.

GuidoZebra,
Read thru the general section and the Q/A section.
There are multiple posts on this topic. TONS.
Then you will understand why there won't be any ICS on the Infuse, short of a miracle.
Go back a few months.
Zeus 5.2 ICS is as close as you'll get.

You don't want ICS on this phone. Even if someone does manage it, it won't be the experience you're hoping for. It will be choppy, buggy and alot of functions won't work. Maybe some super-dev will have a breakthrough this year, but it will be a long time before anything usable, much less fully working is available. So don't hold your breath. Move on. Spend time with the wife and kids. Take the dog to the park. Try to enjoy life.

i would have to agree with you. i haven't had the phone for nearly as long as you have but from browsing around xda (specifically gs2 and here) i have to notice that by comparison development is much slower in this section.

I feel pretty good about what we have now. ICS will come eventually, who knows when exactly but it will come. I have two other android phones and a tablet that all run ICS very smoothly. But I still choose this gingerbread runnin beast everyday over all the others. In my humble opinion, there will definitely be some frowning faces on the day ICS is officially released for our device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Honestly its all just hype. ICS will come out and within 6 months we will be jumping to the next firmware. I think the community should put more focus on fully customizing and enjoying the capabilities of gingerbread. I really don't think we will be satisfied otherwise. That's why devs get turned off to making ROMs. They make something awesome and we use it for a week and then want more. So much greed!
