Hi!
Iam new to android world using a samsung S i897.
I want to install JB and found the slim rom in this (awesom) forum.
The slim version of android is a part of it? What Im missing? There are features that where left out?
Iam confuse on which are oficial versions and how obtain them and which are mods or custom versions. Exist a ICS official rom for my phone? Is better upgrade to that version or the JB slim rom?
Thanks!!!
None of the Galaxy S series of phones are getting official ICS, let alone JB.
So anything for your phone that's ICS or Jellybean is unofficial.
And you should use Slim JB because its waaay better than stock GB and has no bloat, along with performance boosts. Heck, any custom ROM is better than official versions (aside from the usual bugs when they are in early development).

CM9
You may want to look at CyanogenMod 9.. or wait around for a CyanogenMod 10
Google it, I can't post links yet..
You can wait (stable) custom jelly bean version if that appear as it is the most recent android version.

The captivate has good jb ROMs such as hellybean or slim bean as you said. But these guys are right, there will never be any ICS or JB official updates for it because its an outdated phone much like the vibrant or original i9000. The closest you get to stock would be slim bean or slim ICS.

Serch normal JB Rom and flash that. Or ICS if you will not find normal stable JB.

I have Galaxy Note N7000, i am little confused whether to update CM9 or Official Android 4.0.3 ICS firmware which is going to release soon. if have any suggestions please let me know.. Thanks
The official firmware will incorporate most of the features of the stock 4.0.3 but CM9 will also have unique features. If you are a mainstream user the choice comes down to the eye candy really. Flash one and then the other when the stable versions are released, play around with each of them for a day or two and then you can make up your mind. =)
I gave up waiting and touch wiz is awful so i went for the cm9 thats out ust now wich needs some bugs and stuff fixed for my s2
Imho Cm9
If you are already rooted, use CM9. If you update officially while rooted, you will lose root. Then you will have to wait for a root solution to be found for ICS. Some phones went months without root after their gingerbread update.
CM9 will be more powerfull i think, if i were u i could choose CM9.
today i saw video of Galaxy Sll Running ICS 4.0.3 XXKP8 which is official Update. But it looks really Boring. Looks like Gingerbread 2.3.6. i hope samsung wont disappoint Note owners releasing such update.

That is the case when manufacturers add their UI. You are still just going to see touchwiz. The difference will be in the menus. Touchwiz will always be touchwiz, just like HTC Sense will always be Sense. Unless you are using a nexus or an AOSP based ROM such as CM9 you won't see many UI changes between gingerbread and ICS. It will look the same on the Note.
CM9, no doubt about that, Trebuchet is a beautiful launcher
Get CM9 and upgrade to official later.
I am sure official probably has better integration of the pen but idk.
I would go with CM9.

What I suggest is you is to try CM9 first. If you find any features you missed in our Galaxy Note that was in the official firmware that cannot be replicated by any means of any application then wait for Official Firmware.
Eg. I can't live without the brilliant video player so I'm sticking with TouchWiz.

I would go with CM9 and stay with it. Still waiting for CM9 to be available for my EVO. I will be so there.
Alright the situation is i got a newish phone and plan on giving my nexus S to my parents, right now its running the nightly. I want to be sure they have something stable. So i am looking at either switching it to Cyanogenmod 7.2 or the stock rom. I have heard that they have released 4.1 stock rom for Nexus S, I have not seen it if anyone has a link please comment with it.
My parents are not tech savy but they need a better phone. So Stock or Cyanogen?
The JB Android 4.1 update is very stable. Set them up with that by following the steps given in our nexus s forums. Good luck!

I would recommend Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Stock. Should be totally sufficient + they get to have Google Now
I recommend on CM9.0 RC-2, which is stable and up to date
h ttp://get.cm/?device=crespo&type=RC
I would use a cym 9 rc2 because everything pretty much works and its really fast with the matr1x kernel. It also has great battery life with just enough customization.

I would use the Stock Stock JB Update or the cm9 RC2, but not cm7.2
definitely stock JB. You can download for Widgetsoid 2.x for notification toggles and a battery % widget, and they're set! JB is really feature rich and awesome!
For 4.1 JB I was looking around for a guide for Nexus S 4.1 rooted. My version is I9020XXJK8. I gave seen a few guides but not that many links for the actual zip of JB 4.1. Also how do you update CWM?

Try this. If you have JB then just do the bottom part (superuser, clockworkmod, etc.)

why samsung delays to release ics r jb rom for fit
...please let me know the reason
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda app-developers app
There's no ICS or JB for FIT, and samsung its not going to release it.
When 2.3.6 Was Released, they said there ISN'T Going to be ANY Official 4.0.x or 4.1.x For fit, Due to Hardware Limitations. I'm guessing the only way is through Custom ROM and, the developer quit ICS so he can develop JB ._. Which sorta pisses me off because he left with one major issue, the only issue (Camera). But there are other Custom ROM that are trying to "simulate" ICS
I just bought a Samsung Blaze 4G from T-Mobile, rooted it, downloaded some apps. I've heard that you can update a lot of devices to a newer OS prior to the official release with rooting. So now I am wondering if I can update this phone to ICS (Jelly Bean would be better if possible?), are there any ROM's of ICS for this phone. If not what ROM's are available (CyanogenMod), it would also be nice if you could explain me how exactly install custom ROM's and where is the best place to download them. Also will there ever be an official update from T-Mobile of ICS. This is my first Android device, I used to own an iPhone and knew how to do all of that jailbreaking and cydia stuff but this is different. Thanks for your help.
Best start reading.
In short: No ICS yet (I suspect not for another month or two, if ever) and all ROMs are in the Development section. We have an unofficial CM7 with a buggy camera.

If you want something stable I would suggest either dark knight or tweaked, although I have never tried Jedi mind tricks it looks stable though

I've searched all over the place but can't find a MIUI Jellybean ROM. I know there is an ICS MIUI ROM, I have it. I really want a JB ROM though. Any ports available??

No.
Basic rule: If there's no STOCK or CYANOGENMOD Roms for a given Android release, then there will be nothing else for that release.
The only ICS and JellyBean roms for this phone are seriously broken in numerous ways depending on if you go hackfest or not. Most people find the compromises too severe for a daily driver.
There was an MIUI V4 (ICS) release for G2X in July 2012, but it was seriously broken just like all other ICS on this phone. Since MIUI is based on CyanogenMod, it has the same compromises. It's not worth anyone's time to build roms based on Jelly Bean or even ICS any longer, until these problems can be fixed. If that's a problem, introduce your phone to a sledgehammer and go buy something else.
