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 have an i727 LTE with Rogers and wondered if the latest ICS ROM worked on this device (the Android 4.0.3 Firmware XXLPB).
No

Sucks, guess I'll have to wait for the official ICS
Im not entirely positive, but if it worked, I would assume to see a huge thread on it.
yeah pretty sure it wont work
So at this point there are no ICS roms for the i727...
Look in Dec thread, there is one, but its an early alpha, a lot of stuff doesn't work yet. The framework is all there, but we still need a functional kernel, and as Samsung has yet to release ICS for our phones, the devs are stuck making one from scratch. I think right now they're using a modified gingerbread kernel
Im looking for a complete Stock ICS Rom if its available i used to have the Nexus S Unlocked and i love the complete Stock ICS Look, im wondering is there a Rom with all of that??
Yesterday i was testing the last waffle house build but i got three things i didnt like, first one the usb storage problem, second one for some reason some of the apps wont download at all, and finally the phone re booted on it self.
Any other build out there with the real stock look of ICS??

That's kind of a stupid statement,***mod edited***... The ICS releases that are out now are just like stock AT&T ota ics... Do you think they're going to change the rom completely or give us aosp ota??? The releases that we have are as close to stock as they are gonna get, only thing they're doing now is getting bugs out or adding apps from the carriers that they want... Have you tried all of the ICS roms out there? I've been running seanz ucle2 ics release rom and I've had absolutely no problems... As long as you read/follow the instructions completely everything should be fine... And thinking about this, the skyrocket is from AT&T not from google so we're never going to get stock ICS ota... OTA releases are not gonna be like aosp, aokp or cm9...
No no no I'm not a dev guys OK I ported the rom and the last release I only helped a bit I been busy on a few projects for the skyrocket community lol but to say the hard work and dedication that actual devs have put in is beneath you is a statement that I can not condone and actually is an insult to this site the roms in the dev section are far beyond what anything Samsung will ever do (/rant)

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.
Thanks!!
I will try that.
I was looking forward to the potential development on the S3 back when I pre-ordered, but wow this is too much. A new ROM everyday, existing ROMs updated as often, several kernels crossing carriers, mods covering everything, and so much more to come.
I don't know where to start. Not really looking for suggestions (but I will listen... ). I really just want to thank ALL the developers for all their hard work.

It's not too complicated, all roms fall into TouchWiz, Hybrid, or AOSP.
You can't go wrong with going with a TouchWiz rom based on 4.1.1 samsung's TouchWiz. Synergy is a popular rom with many features. CleanROM is a very good unbloated rom. I use CleanROM myself.
But before you do any of that you have to root it and then install the apps to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery tool. The recovery tool will allow you to flash new roms.
you seem to have done some research, heres another good guide to read if youre still in that phase.

good luck!
id recommend flashing an AOSP rom for a week, and then a TW JB rom for a week an decide which one is best for you. at the moment id recommend a 4.1.2 rom if you try AOSP. its much more stable than the 4.2 roms that are currently available
I guess I should have mentioned that I am rooted and unlocked, have been for about 3 weeks, but have not done a thing except TB, and AdAway. I just keep reading different ROM and kernel threads.

I am running the latest version of ICS. I tried the CM10 rom but found that it was unstable and had a lot of things missing or not working compared to ICS. Anyway, with all the JB Roms popping up in the past few weeks,are there any out there that are better or more stable? I have been waiting for AT&T to release JB for HOC but as usual they are taking forever. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Viper3.1 and it doesn't get much better than that. It's my opinion though. I would also suggest CM10.1. I loved it but I personally got an odd glitch where my screen would go black but the phone was still on, as were the capacitive buttons.
Anyone here is going to give you opinions. It's truly up to you to pick. The 2 I listed are great ROMS, stable and have awesome developers who stay on top of things.

I don't expect the AT&T version of JB to be substantially different (probably just more bloat and annoying AT&T branding all over the ROM, really) than any of the stock rooted Sense JB ROMs in Development, or custom ROMs based on those build. So flash one of those and be done with it.
In my opinion you're not going to find anything coming from AT&T as far as JB that's going to be better than the ROMS in development. If anything they are far better. Download a bunch, try them out and stick with the one you like best.
King Kang is super stable for me. Everything works.
King Kang has been the most stable I've tried. Pretty much every rom I've seen on here is livable though. I'm on CM10.1 now and I haven't had any real problems.
