So seeing how We are still waiting on official ICS for our phones, could this be a blessing in disguise? is it possible we may get the new Touchwiz from the GSIII officially in ICS for GS2 Skyrockets?
I really like the new touchwiz and really hope we get it. i have used holo launcher and think its the best reproduction ICS themed launcher but for some reason i keep going back to touchwiz and absolutely love the new one and am hoping it comes to us officially.
While it's possible, I don't know that it's probable.
What is more probable is that AT&T will keep the new improvements for the new phone. There may be some updates, but we probably won't be getting all of the new bells and whistles.
If you want more of the newer stuff, look into one of the ROMs out there that have most of those improvements.
you guys are probably right.
I have flashed other roms like SKY ICS but that rom is way too cumbersome and has too many steps and builds. Base this, update that. wipe 3 times on everything and flash only bits from your SD card or you dont have sound etc. everything has to be done in 3 or 4 pieces. just really cumbersome just to get the new touchwiz bits. when you finally get it all updated and everything working then next day an update comes out again you flash that update which is supposed to be all good and you lose all your sounds again ugh.
tried the AOKP roms as well as the new chimara rom that has the current bug of dont let your phone die because the USB port isnt active with a dead battery so you cant charge WTF)
So now i'm back on the latest UCLE Leak build throwing on holo launcher and will just be patient for the ICS leak or another stable less cumbersome New touchwiz themed rom.
I cleaned. Will keep in General please no trolling or flaming
Actually, I just checked for updates on my ATT Skyrocket and it says an update is available, but the servers are currently busy. Can someone verify this?
What firmware are you on now? Its probably just another fake

Dont know if that is posible since DesignGears has released information that another leak will be coming out this week !!! So I would doubt very much that our AT&T Skyrockets are receiving ICS just yet.
As for the new GSIII TouchWiz .. anything at this time is possible .. since the 3 leaks we have received so far from DesignGears .. we went from ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 .. so it would be very interesting to see what changes have been made for the upcoming I727UCLF5.
...I'll already be running jelly bean on the next Nexus device.
Oh, sorry-- thought this was one of those 'complete this sentence' problems.
I just checked and it's also saying there's an update available but the servers are busy. I'm already on 2.3.6

I promise you we'll care more when at least a system dump from the Galaxy Nexus is out, but more like when the source is out. Have patience. Not much longer.
Just saw that a successful alpha of ICS has been ported to the SGS so I think we're getting closer and closer. Once a full working version is up and running on the SGS I really hope that one of our devs will port it!

No point in porting it. We can do it ourselves when we get the proper files (which require a system dump or source).

Honestly in all due respect, I tried contacting several people from Samsung and tried to get answers to all my question's from those bone heads. I think Samsung is dragging their feet on Gingerbread, this has nothing to do with At&t at all. At&t was ready to give us some sort of GB release back in August, seems to me Samsung keeps holding back because all their newer phones are getting the most respect right now and not our already 1 penny Infuse.
Enough Said........

Exactly it. We are not going to get an official release from sammy, people should just get used to the fact cm7 and miui is the only chance for us and ics. Maybe someone can port it from the i9000 but that's just a maybe. CM7 lead the way lol.

Samsung is a complete joke. This is like a bad OS software. EX: Windows ME!, theirs nothing they can fix so they skipped it creating another phone next to this, Basically the only phone next to this would be the SkyRocket, Shares all aspects of our beloved Infuse, just upgraded hardware and better Support, plus they are getting ICS in the beginning of next year.
OK so background story:
I ordered a i9100 from clove and the screen is defective. I don't have time to send it back and wait for a new one. So someone is buying this one (buyer knows about screen). Anyway
Looking for a good kernel and a good clean, stable, fast ROM. Over locking ability would be nice but if not I need to remove that BS bloat ware and tethering without AT&T knowing. That's why I like the international version.
Is the SR getting any love from the dev community in regards to CM9?
I usually search for a few days but need to know fast because I'm getting this phone or regular S2.
Side note: Hawaii should be getting LTE early 2012.

Thanks, but Tmobile's promises are worth less than the 2 seconds it took me to scan that page. Actually, I'd like those seconds back. Learned this the hard way with the Vibrant, which would still be running Eclair if it were up to Tmobile. As it was, it took a full-on smear campaign to get Samsung to release a piss-poor update to Froyo that you had to know about to get, no OTA. So don't hold your breath on this one. I won't believe it until i see it.

i had a vibrant also so i know exactly how you feel.
but the guy said there was nothing "official" so i assumed he wanted to hear something from tmobile, so i put up the link.
not sure what else i could have done better here.
Seems Samsung has gotten better with updates since then...I'd least I would hope so. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be looking at this phone.
Trev, I wasn't ranting at you, sorry if that was the impression. I am just a little pissed that T-Mo and Samsung always seem to make update promises, but never deliver. I really like the Blaze 4g, except for all the bloat, but I won't pick one up until it receives official ICS, or is supported by AOKP. I'm tired of hacked ROMs, and now that I have AOKP ICS for my Vibrant, I can never go back to gingerbread or lower.

Go get some of Seanz ROM based on the official Rogers ICS. It is fast and when coupled with the Mohan kernel even the touch key lights work. Sean may not even mess (I just read his post) with the ATT official because of too much bloat.
This thing is superfast, it downloaded and installed all of my previously installed apps without any user intervention. Facial recog works etc.
This ROM is perfect for me as it is (assuming btooth and wifi is ok which I couldn't test at work)
Assuming these last two things work I won't even download the offical ATT...
So close...yet so far. We are better off custom roms which is in a way more advanced than stocks.

I have to agree rogers would be better for a build. ATT roms are always 150mg larger because of the BS they do with it. Rogers will always be a little better. And they are really the exact same besides the bloat and modem.
Sky ICS based on the Rogers build works great! I personally prefer the CM9 builds, Rogers modem, and Instigator X kernel. There are plenty of options for Skyrocket users without having to worry about an official AT&T build - which is surely to be bloated to death anyway.
Running SKY ICS 4.3f here, thing is smooooth. Was with 4.3E up until today. With a ROM this good, who would want to go stock?
Please let us know how the battery life is with SKY ICS
If you are worried about bloat, why not just freeze it? Its something that YOU would have to do yourself but still. And its fairly easy.
Looks like S2 users have to wait a bit..

Maybe they are putting i777 on hold so they can release i777 and i727 at the same time to reduce the whining.
Here is an actual quote from AT&T PR as to what is going on withthe SGS II AT&T ICS update.
We plan for the upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for Galaxy S II customers to be live very soon. Like with every OS update, we test it on our servers before we roll it out to customers. We’re in the process of doing that with Android 4.0 (ICS) for Galaxy S II customers and hope to make that live soon. We recommend customers wait to attempt the update.

I am actually running stock rom on my phone but theres a thread for CM10 here:

Though I see lots of people posting issues, so I've been staying away from it, and looking into the Touchwiz ROMS more.
I think one of the biggest ways to make touchwiz feel more like stock android experience is to use Apex or Nova launcher.

I am looking into getting the GS3 sometime this week as a Bday gift to myself. Turned 31 today and I am damned tired of my iphone. I had the Moto X2 and I hated it. I was always having to reboot the phone because of lag or it just freezing up. I went to the iphone to get away from this. I had read that because the X2 was one of the 1st duel core phones, there were a lot of issues. The GS3 being a quad core, there is almost zero lag and one of thos issues.
I knw this doesn't relate to the topic and I am sorry. Just really happy to be getting the GS3 to go with my Samsung Tab 2

The international version is the only version of GSIII with quad core. The US variants are dual core S4 (only processor that combined LTE) which benchmark quite favorably against quad core. Just clarifying because this is the Verizon model's thread were discussing this in.
Welcome to the GSIII either way! Overall, this phone has been great for me in almost every capacity.

I just switched from iPhone, I love it. It's so fast you could just run an alternate launcher if you dislike TouchWiz, there's no performance hit. I consider rooting essential for everyday apps but beyond experimentation I have no deep desire to flash a ROM. I'd like Jelly Bean but it's the fastest ICS device I've used even with a skin on it.

Only the Verizon version has any issues with ROMs. The locked bootloader makes custom kernels difficult; you have to bypass it using the kexec method and all this convoluted bull****.
If you want a custom ROM that's relatively easy to get, use a stock ROM like Synergy or Beans. I believe there's a holo theme for Synergy that makes the phone look like stock. Search around the Themes&Apps forum. Personally, I use Synergy 1.7, which has been pretty great.

People are working on getting the bootloader unlocked, but honestly I don't see it happening unless the FCC forces Verizon to do so. Flashing roms isn't that difficult really, but it's certainly not as easy as it was on my OG Moto Droid. Kexec is a workaround which I'm somewhat thankful for I guess. The main problem is there are currently many scary complications that can occur just from flashing any of these non TW roms right now. These problems aren't Verizon S3 specific I hear.
Personally I don't think CM/AOKP etc is worth flashing right now because of kexec and the possibility of losing IMEI/data. Yes the IMEI can be backed up or restored, but what a hassle. I flashed a CM10 nightly and then my data randomly died forever 10 minutes later. Flashing to stock/anything else was useless. Luckily reprovisioning my phone fixed the problem, but if it didn't..
I'm hoping that CM and stuff will be stable/safe within the next month or two but who knows? Verizon probably won't release JB until December or later on the S3.

Agreed. There's still a bit of work that needs to happen in CM10...particularly it dropping data coverage without warning.
