Will we be getting ICS

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 No way is our outdated phone going to see an official build.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

It's accurate.

Is there anything about 4.0 ICS that would help improve battery life?
I am running 4.0.3 on my Iconia and I love it!! Looking forward to seeing this on my TB and hopefully soon, my VZY Galaxy Note.

This is the first I've heard of that! Thanks for dropping that in =P my thunderbolt should tie me over till it comes out, especially if the ics update isn't too late =D

thunderbolt will run with full potential on ics

My moneys on the only ICS thunderbolt will be a rooted one. My money is also on the only successful roms being ports from the rezound.

and we'll see it actually approved by verizon sometime in november. By that time, no one will care.

I'm locked in till next March so ill be waiting till then for ics

Stuck in contract till the end of December. But I love this phone for some reason.

I'm locked till Feb so I'm hoping to see it for the tbolt before then! (Remember, I'm HOPING )

Even if it takes Verizon until December, there will undoubtedly be build leaks in the interim that the devs can work their magic on.

rest asured . If there was an ics rom. That was somewhat functional. You would not have needed to post your question. It would be the hot ticket.. and impossible to miss. Im stoaked about ics. Cant wait to start brewing up some ics goodies....its great on my galaxy nexus. But skyrocket ics will blow the nexus away performance wise.

I was always curious about how are we gonna know whether an update, say ICS, is out for skyrocket? Is there a feature on our phone that will notify us like iOS? Or do we have to always look for the answer online?

The skyrocket will not need a port it is going to get official ics. Supposidly q1 which actually att said the vivid and skyrocket would recieve ics q1
..so really soon unless att or sammy are dragging ass.....lol which has been known to happen on occasion

hate to say it but q1 is almost over, two weeks lol. We've been shafted... again

Ics from Sammy people don't seem to like it. I love touch wizard and didn't mind it I just installed trebuchet launcher on my epic 4g touch trust me guys when it comes if you like touchwiz you will be happy if not you will be very sad. I'm in love with my skyrocket

[Q] Will Skyrocket be able to use the official T-Mobile SGS II ICS update? [Solved]

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.

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.

Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA

While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.

Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.

I'm still here!

Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.
I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.
I dont believe we'll ever see an official release of JB for our phones.

im building a rom off of cm7 now . RomZombie.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

That and point really at Google for.this messed up veal they allow which is so stupid. We need to stop overlays on android and have the same user experence as any other device a unified way. On touch six.you select wick widget it brings up any available wick if one is not already selected on sense and stock that does not happen. Not a great user way here.

Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.
