Hey, i'm new to this forum so bare with me if i break any rules. Well yersterday i was lucky and happy to get ICS upgrage or update from sprint, for my Samsung Galaxy S2 sph-d710 (Sprint) Maybe cz am new to all of this but my software version Android says (4.0.4) Baseband Version (S710.10.S.FF18) as seen on the attached picture. Now here is the problem, My phone's software doesn't look like other ics, now i don't know that maybe this is how the Sprint version looks or, it just doesn't have all that ics theme or whatever it still looks like gingerbread only running ics but without most of the ics features. (Sorry i don't know much about this & English is my 4th language) so i've attached some pictures of how my phone looks, hope i'll get the answer to this.
Thank You in Advance,
Tizzo009
Nope, that's ICS. It's just Touchwiz running on top. If you want stock ICS, I suggest flashing CyanogenMod 9. For now just install Nova Launcher.

Hi All,
I have just purchased the Samsung Infuse 4G as my new secondary device after my SGSII and I am wondering what the substantial differences are between the Rogers and the ATT version of this device, keeping in mind that I am in Canada and am on Rogers?
What ROMS CAN and CANT I flash? What Kernels CAN and CANT I flash?, etc, etc, etc...
Please advise as I used to have the Galaxy S I9000M (Canadian version of the International version) and I was able to flash International ROMS, etc... Can this be done on the Infuse 4G without losing my proper service bands, etc?
Thanks for the replies...
Galaxy S lable, Gingerbread that i know of.

Im sorry but I dont understand wht you are trying to tell me. What is "Galaxy S lable" and what do you mean "Gingerbread that I know of"? If you mean that the ROGERS version already comes preloaded with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and NOT with Froyo 2.2.1 then that I already know.
Please advise...
Well the Canadian Infuse is a Galaxy S device and are is not even though it is the same device. So this just proves that Galaxy S is just a label.
and the android version. those seems to be just the major differences.

Thank You again for your reply Optimus but what I am really wondering is if I am able to flash "ATT based" custom ROMS, etc after I root and install CWM. I know the rooting proceedure for the ROGERS version of the Infuse 4G is different but is the actual "firmware"? Will I mess up the device by flashing it with ROMS created from ATT firmware, etc?
Does anyone know?
i dont think it would matter since we are running your roms on your phones. Gingerbread. but i mean you can always ultimate unbrick if something goes wrong. so its worth a try. and just a hint. att roms are froyo based
From what I can tell you,
We have Gingerbread 2.3.3 we do not have HDMI output. (Not a big deal for me).
Our video recording is a bit messed up (Recording at 15fps) but there is a fix now. Other than that there's not a huge difference.
Differences:
1) Cosmetics (that's what the other guy meant by "Galaxy S label") - no differences internally hardware-wise
2) Gingerbread bootloaders
Basically 2) means you can't flash old Froyo-based ROMs because no one bothered to make them compatible with the GB bootloaders - we focused on going the other way around. Our Gingerbread kernels are capable of working with Froyo or Gingerbread bootloaders.
Any ROM you might want to flash is based on your stock firmware currently, since official AT&T Gingerbread isn't out yet. Samfirmware claims it's officially out on Kies, but Kies refuses to connect to our phones so I call BS.
Hi Forum
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 which is out of warranty. As is known to most, Samsung is most likely not going to come out with an ICS upgrade to this model.
I live in India and travel frequently to the UK, and am therefore looking for a stable ICS ROM that will work on my phone and render the phone usable in India and the UK. I did try with a Cynogen Mod 9 ROM for the i9000 which worked in the UK, but the moment I landed in India, the SIM refused to register with the GSM network in India. My IMEI number also changed when I flashed my phone with this ROM.
Currently, my phone was brought back to a working condition with a Samsung Android 2.1 ROM, but this ROM is really bad and makes my phone freeze frequently.
I am looking forward to some advice from the XDA Forum members to point me to a stable ICS ROM that I can download and flash my phone with, so that the phone works in India.

There are no stable ICS roms for GS2 yet (at least from Cyanogenmod) but they have a gingerbread one (which is better than the 2.1 you have ;P )
Here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxys2
Anyway, I suggest you stay out of ICS until they make a stable ROM. Port only if you can help develop it
Thanks For the reply. However, I am looking for an update for the Galaxy S. I do not have an S2. My Galaxy S has been sparingly used and I think it has at least a year left in it.

Ooooops I'm really sorry about that. here's the link for the stable CM7 build for the Galax S:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
I suggest you use this for the mean time while waiting for the ICS Cyanogen
I would prefer that you use the rom from team icssgs RC4.2 (4.0.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
I had cyanogen mod 7 installed but was not very happy with it.
So try it out.
Faryaab is also doing a good job. You should check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628028
I tried ICS Custom Rom from Darky. It worked fine to my SGS1 without any problem. You can try it.
But I already changed to the latest one Jellybean Custom Rom from C-Rom Bean. I find this better in terms of graphics and Google applications.
At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
Ok, I haven't seen a thread about this already and I did search...so if I missed it, I apologize in advance for the repost! Anyway, does anyone know or think that the Skyrocket with get an official release of Jelly Bean?

Samsung announced that there were several devices other than the S3 (their latest) that will get Jelly Bean update.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_announces_list_of_devices_that_will_get_jelly_bean-news-4853.php
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050212&fm_seq=55187 This is mostly for the S3 series.
Code:
The list includes the following devices:
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy S II
Galaxy Note
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Galaxy S Advance
Galaxy S II LTE
Galaxy Music
Galaxy Chat
Galaxy Ace 2
I8530 Galaxy Beam
Galaxy Ace Plus
Galaxy Mini II
Galaxy S Duos
It was announced by Samsung that these devices will also get official jelly bean. As for if our devices will officially get it we don't know. Our phone is considered Galaxy S II LTE but we dont know yet as our phone is also labeled Skyrocket and there is also an international version labeled Galaxy S II LTE. But if the original Galaxy S II will get it there is a good chance we will also get it but that all depends on Samsung -> ATT.
On the better side we are on the list on CM10 M2 that were released yesterday and so far 4.1.2 has been really good, may have minor kinks here and there but so far its good for a daily driver. So if you want to test drive Jelly Bean you can try out the various builds in the developmental forums. There is the CM10 and AOKP then theres various customized ROMs by other users where they tweak it even more for a better jelly bean experience. :good:
Based on the list here: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/manufacturer.php?m=101 I can't find the international SII LTE, and based on the specs I found online, it looks like our phone (dual core, where doesn't the international version (whatever it's called) have 4?).
I have heard sometime in Q4, which means any time before the end of the year. That said, CM10 has official nightlies for our phone and AOKP has what should be considered an official build as well. Both work well, as do any of the many builds out there based on those.

The i9210 is the international version and labelled officially as Galaxy S2 LTE the specs are really similar to the skyrocket but not exactly the same for example CPU is the same maker and speed but slight different model. The size of the phone is slightly different and they have the international design for button placement (2 touch buttons one home button in the center which they made standard with the S3 rather than having different designs) so we may or may not get it officially but I wouldn't fret too much about it as we already have a working build.

Were you looking for JellyBean or were you looking for TouchWiz? As many have mentioned, the SkyRocket already has an official CM10 ( JellyBean).
I think you might be asking for an official TouchWiz JellyBean ROM. I would hope to see Samsung leaks for a TWJB ROM soon.
No official word for our device yet.

I think he meant official Samsung ROM, not CM10. I'm to looking forward to get JB official ROM if it's ever coming out.
I love NFC so having a custom ROM wont do it for me, if NFC is available on one of the custom JB ROM ill give it a try.

NFC is a hardware function. Every ROM I've tried has it built in, as long as the hardware supports it.
I can confirm that it works on SlimBean. I transferred several pictures to my mom's S3 via NFC.

Thank you for the info. I know some Skyrocket ROMS that dont have NFC working (according to the builder). But will give a try to SlimBean.
As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:
