Here's an idea - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

If you are like me that is in an ATT plan and is forced to wait an entire year to upgrade your phone here is a tip.
Right now another week has passed and we still have no reports on the ICS update we are suppost to be waiting and Jellybean is right around the corner. My guess is that this model is going to be outmoded in a matter of time and no more updates will be provided for us. This is still not official but it is a posibility. I have been looking up and Cyanogen is going to launch CM10 that is basicily Jelly. If the phone does get out moded then there is the perfect reason to root and apply CM10 when it becomes available. Sure you will no longer have the Samsung Galaxy style of android but still Jelly's UI is really beautiful and wohld work with a beautiful phone such as the Skyrocket.

You do realize you're on forum where the entire purpose is to root and flash custom ROM's right? Kinda preaching to the choir here bud.

it's based off of the leaked screenshots not official at all nor is it garbage
dam fine. a tad laggy for me but its bearable. especially since it looks awesome. didnt think i would like ics if it looked liked this but i starting to change my mind.
Works well, a little to basic for me. Personally I enjoy the options to fully customize. Does have great potential.

Things like this will not be tolerated. Calling something garbage is rude and insulting, Not allowed.
Swearing in the forums will get you a one way ticket to bansville.

Cut the crap or get banned. Your choice.

yeah, Not sure what the CM team was thinking with Cid, but in my humble opinion it's really not very professional or artistic. Just bland and quite frankly, lame. Hope they consider the communities opinion and maybe do something else...The background warp thing is so much cooler.
But when you just change the character, and keep the star wars light speed animation, its just lazy on their part. But I understand with all these phones coming out and all the dev work that involves going into a solid rom.

Agree, the "new" animation feels like it probably took them about 5 minutes to swap out the characters and that's it.
But...I'd rather have the great ROM that CM9 is with a boring new character than a great character and a boring ****ty ROM anyday!
After watching the new boot animation he looks like a grown up version of the old one mixed with iron man due to the glowing circle on his chest

This. Besides, being on 4.X is better than 2.X, regardless of what form it takes. Can't wait to see what the devs will do with the RIL

You can take a look at what the devs will do with the RIL. Just navigate to the GNex forum and look up bamf paradigm. It is literally the best Rom I have ever run on any phone. I'm crossing my fingers for you all. I just sold my thunderbolt for a used gnex. I got the upgrade AND kept my unlimited data ftw.

New victim!

So, I have just acquired a new victim, an acquaintance's old Charge. It's pretty...shall we say...stressed? The chassis is quite beat up but the phone itself still works fine. What should I do with it? Anything short of any damage to the device. I'll even send it to a developer assuming they want it...

I would much rather it go to someone else... but if no one else will take you up on it I would be interested. My son has been... well, less than friendly to the charge in its now-wifi-toy status and I find myself having issues maintaining the usb connection for odin/pc/anything as a result. I have been trying to odin back to ep4d for the last few hours... I THINK I got it now - made it farther than any time before anyway lol.
Anyhoo - I suppose consider me a default case if you are really interested...? As an alternative, you could always use it to try and tinker yourself... I don't know if you've noticed but there aren't too many cooks left in this kitchen
Well, considering I couldn't even understand how to compile kernel source, I don't think I'm the one to be tinkering...
Anyhow, I'll send it to any developer who's interested. My only request is that I get it back to me upon release of the Galaxy SIV, as I'll be selling all the devices I have to get some pocket change for college.

To be fair... neither can I
As far as my interests in your extra phone go, I think I will wait and see if any other takers arise for this - I would much rather get some other people involved.
Well, this thread is open. Anyone who wants to try their hand, post in this thread and we'll take a vote. I talked to imnuts a couple of months ago about this (I knew I was going to get the device, just didn't know when) and he said he was too busy to do any dev work, through I don't know if that still holds true.
Anyone who wants the Charge for development purposes, post ITT.
Tell all your friends.

Maybe once the source is released, we will get a kernel dev that needs one.
