Nice article about Android updates

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31322_3-2...oid-this-is-your-last-chance/?tag=epicStories
Would be nice if there was a Android Update Alliance!

Wish google would read that and take it to heart.

Wish AT&T would read that too

Even if we Infuse owners never see it, I'm truly hoping ICS fixes all of the myriad issues with Android. It has the potential to be the one OS to rule them all. I look forward to its release and reading and learning all I can about it in hopes we do receive it.
That being said, I would be happy to just get GB.
PS,
And yes, I realize that there are fantastic ROMs and whatnot out there, I mean official.

Yeah ,me too! I really feel like they're not in a rush because if the Infuse had GB a lot of folks might not have purchased the SGS2.

That's exactly it, it's the dollar signs that AT&T is worried about..but now that its out already give us GB!!! I'm hoping another leak will come out sometime this week to let us know it's getting closer.
ICS better be legit or android is going to lose potential buyers because of this update waiting game we current owners deal with...

Good read!

I wish we could at least see some true Gingerbread action, but ICS would be a blessing.

ICS kernel source released!!

Ics kernel source for gs2 has been released. Does this help us towards an ICS ROM AT alL?

Maybe, but I don't think so. Different processors.

SGH-i727 kernel
I jsut posted a reply on this under the ICS for GSII LTE. If you search the Samsung's Open Source Download center for SGH-I727, you will be able to get and download the kernel source for the Skyrocket.
Good luck.

can anyone ballpark when we could expect have ICS going on our phones?

Sure. Does anybody want to? No.
There are currently no leaks, no source, no anything related to ICS for our phones. The developers who are currently attempting to get it running are pretty much flying blind. At least until Samsung releases something.
So it's pretty much entirely up in the air.

Please sign this petition about ICS update

Please take little time to sign this petition in the hope of getting an ICS update in our galaxy s 4g phone:
it's in change.org, I can't post the full link because I'm new member.
We believe it's capable of running ice cream sandwich.

We already are gonna get the update, just not right away

Why do you think the sgs4g needs to get ics? My phone is fast got extremely great battery life and tons of other things. Do you just want ics so you could have the latest android flavor or do you think or know it will make our phones that much better. I'm not trying to be a smartass just curious why ppl are this rilled up about ics.

I think the only reason is because "others have it".
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Great words blazen you know maybe ics has some quiet interesting features but our developers make than our phone from crappy to gingerbread better than ics that is one the reasons I want to start developing because I feel that I got skills to make some good stuff for the phone ( like themes and guides only things that i have finished) and other reason is because here our developers are way better than samsungs horrible costumer service....anyway every sgs4g user most appreciete the developers work even if the projects are not finished like ics port and aosp port because that makes people more happy and they know that there works are awesome

I believe that most want it because it is the newest OS and most believe it will be an improvement, much like GB compared to Froyo... Which is understandable considering the developers here are going full bore in a attempt to port ICS.
Being one of those that was satisfied with froyo, I have to admit I am even more satisfied with GB... But as for your question, I personally hope that it is released for our phone because if it is, so to would the source be released (just imagine what the developers could accomplish with it).
Just my 2 cents in the well.

You do realize that's a post from someone in the forums right? No word from Samsung USA. You cannot depend on what a customer service rep says, they sit behind the computer all day and still do not know a thing about the products they are supposed to be supporting. They are just trying to shut us up about it already. If the OG galaxy s gets just a value pack, it'd be hard to imagine them bending backwards to give us full ICS

I don't particularly care for ICS ....
I'm quite happy with GB.
Besides.... ICS is just about outdated with Jellybeans on the way LOL.
Can't wait to see what our devs can do with jellybeans ;-)

Ill get my diapers ready

If I am not mistaken the T-Mobile version is the same as the Telus S2 in Canada. If it is I would not be in any hurry to upgrade to ICS. My own experience and experience of others as reported on the Howardforums has not been stellar. Problems with apps freezing and battery life going in the toilet are common. Looks great, just doesn't work very well. I would hold off until these issues are addressed. I usually always wait to do an update until I here some feedback but this time I jumped in and am now regretting it.
Just a word to the wise

Where is all the developement?

I have had this phone since day one.. and I love it more than life lol xD but the matter at hand... I have watched development for this phone decay.. all roms are either getting abandoned, or support is just dying out.. this isn't applying directly to just AOSP, or AOKP, either.. but touchwiz as well.. should I switch to a different device? Ima nonstop hacker, and used to build roms myself.. but since I started tattooing again, I have no free time.. any good development phones out there?

you can only do so much with the same version of touchwiz jellybean. this device will most likely not see another carrier update. aosp will be the only way future updates are brought to the device. carriers specifically do this so you keep upgrading devices. that being said, why dont you have a note 2 already?

Not a fan of the size, seems easier to break

They did announce that feature pack update, plus on release the device was given its 2GB of ram just for future support of new android versions.
My guess is it will get 4.2.1 official, but that will be the end of OTA. I have a feeling though CM and AOSP roms will be around for a while. Too many people have the US models of the GS3's, and due to the fact MOST of the code is similar between devices, it should not be hard to keep them all going as long as theres someone who cares to work on them.

you couldnt be any more wrong.

The development hasn't stop just slowed down. There are 4 new ports and some of the older roms have moved on to 4.2(mainly CM,liquid smooth and slim bean). The other roms are still being updated. There is also a new ROM based on 4.2 called Pure Google. Team Baked is working on a 4.2 based ROM.

As a backup to my S3 I have a Samsung Fascinate & just put JB 4.2 on it. If there is still development for a now antique phone, you really don't have to worry about the S3 not having development for a long time to come.

Will we see 4.3 on the GSIII from the Devs?

Looks like the full build of 4.3 finally leaked. Looks like it'd be functional except for RIL/Radio and a Kernel for anyone.

I'll try to port it later on tonight, yolo
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

It was leaked on the Nexus 4. So in due time we will get it. As for Yolo I am getting sick and tired of people saying it on stupid sh**. Instead of "I am climbing Mt. Everest #yolo" you get "I am eating Frosted Flakes #yolo".

It's way funnier to use on cornflakes. It's a way of mocking people who actually use it in a serious way.
Bout to go eat lunch, Yolo.
With this phone still being unlocked, we will see dev love for a long time.

Makes sense. Also, Sammy is fast tracking their devices to get newer Android versions to be current and less fragmented. I think Android Central had an article about it.
