Seriously. Their should be a rule where you can't post anything about ics unless its OFFICIALLY OUT. Its ok though. Im not trying to put you down or anything. Theirs just so many threads about ics already.

I think it's on Samsung more than AT&T.
We'll get it either from T-Mobile's rollout to the Hercules or Rogers rollout to their Skyrocket clone or from AT&T.
Three carriers, three very similar phones.... three chances. Plus leaks from Samsung themselves.
We really should kill all ICS threads and have one single master ICS sticky thread for all ICS related news.
Someone else start it please.

I think there should be a grammar Police to fix the their, there, they're Monsters. Jus' Playin' you (you know who you are) are subtle and funny, you did it right.
Oh wait I should stay on topic!

I just hope the next couple releases don't break driver compatibility.
Like Froyo and Gingerbread weren't a big deal to upgrade from Eclair. That's good. That reduces fragmentation. When you break driver compatibility, you make upgrading a monster pain in the ass and it's slow.

Sure, ICS might take awhile for the 727 and others already have it, but we _do_ have LTE and I love it- there's no software upgrade for that!

Like the developer commnity won't have it out before 90% of the carriers, and with less bloat. ^____^

I totally agree with you there.
I bought the Skyrocket for a few main reasons:
LTE
Benchmarks compared to others available at the time of purchase.
The promise of the ICS update
If I wasn't in need of a phone at the time of purchase, I would have most likely picked up the Note.
I am a patient person and can wait for the release. If I don't like what is provided I am sure there will be plenty of other ROMs to choose from at the time as ICS should be available for the other 'brother' devices shortly.
But seriously, with all of the griping that I am seeing regarding ICS it makes me wonder what is going to be said when Jelly Bean becomes available...
Just my two cents, thanks for listening.

they better hurry up

Jelly bean android 4.1 cyanagen mod for tbolt.....

Okay android. 4.1 will be released at Google io this week so how long until cyanagen gets it for our phone. At this point skip ics as its yesterday old crappie crap on a stick. We should have it like how apple releases ios they do updates so quick why can't you we. This is stupid and full year after ics we don't have it.....

Be happy we're getting ICS. This is a year and a half old phone.
The only reason apple updates for so long is because it has literally like 6 devices to update. HTC has like 30+, all with diffrerent RIL, screen sizes, ram, processors, and carriers.
The CyanoogenMod developers don't work for you, don't expect anything from them.

Android 4.1 is a stupid simple update from ICS. It isn't all that different and a lot of stuff will carry over. The developer's well get 4.1 running as soon as they can, if they can. The reason we don't have ICS is because we don't have a RIL yet. That should come with the first ICS leak.
If Apple's release schedule is superior then I think it's time for you to go buy an iPhone.The dev's are already pretty stressed out about this, and they do all their work for free. You honestly don't have the right to demand anything.
If you want the latest updates immediately after they come out, you should have bought a Nexus device.
Also, Cyanogenmod isn't the only AOSP build out there, and there are many better ones. I'd research into most of them, since the active CM developers for the Tbolt are working with 7, not 9(which is ICS based) it could be a while.
I also hope that your american comment was not serious, but it doesn't matter. The damage is done. Attitudes like that are the reason that a lot of other nations look down on the US and consider the citizen's ignorant and stupid.

what i am saying is that it is stupid how long it takes from the time google/moto releases the code to it gets to us on our phones. Even the sprint nexus s took over 6 months to get out.... why cant it be quick like apple is all i am saying since they too have many devices to support fromt he 3gs, 4, 4s and soon the 5.
and when the world has a problem who do they call? THE USA! True Power is not given... It is TAKEN.... J.R. Ewing

The thunderbolt is an older device now, it has a single core CPU and there are now phones that are quadcore with better screens and hardware. If you don't like the selection of roms our developers have made available to us, like you said, you're an American, you have the free choice to get another phone or learn to port jellybean to the bolt yourself.

We wont see an official release of that and the only way we will is through development. Im honestly surprised that the phone manufacturers are even updating the thunderbolt and some of the others to ics. People aren't going to go out and buy a thunderbolt because it has ics. Theyre going to buy the new badass phone with a gazillion freaking cores in it that all dont even operate most of the time.

Keep hearing end of August so this looks promising. Also no one who's using the beta build mentions a speed increase. We all can assume its going to have a huge speed increase like on the Nexus.

:laugh: Yea, hopefully Samsung can tell Verizon to move it with this. I'll be surprised if a update doesn't come out before to fix any issues or if the JB update will include them. This phone is great but, their are a few issues I hate. One being the music popping.

Wait so if this comes out for the INT varient is it really that hard for developers to just transition it over to our verizon model?

I was hoping they'd add a couple unified widgets to it with the update.
I love this phone (features, screen, battery), and Touchwiz isn't as bad as people make it out to be..... but..... Is it too much to ask that they add a contacts widget (so that I don't have to use a different syncing app) and a social feed widget that go along with the email and calendar widgets? I miss having a unified feel across the board like on sense. It seems that no matter what widgets I download and install from the market, they look horrible next to Samsung's calendar widget which I've grown to like a lot.
That's really my only gripe on an otherwise great phone. Still looking forward to seeing what JB brings.

Ha that sound's about right. But I think that since we have the unlocked bootloader , devs might be able to get it to us before verizon. IDK.

Ive become dependant of the smart alert feature, somi definitly wouldnt mind a port haha

I agree, the direct call was great. I also liked that you can take a screenshot by swiping your hand over the screen. And the little notification that there's a missed notification when picking up (causing a short vibrate). The missed notification one allowed me to turn off the LED all together and use that to let me know there was something on the phone

4.2 ROMS

So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.

Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

Actually it is easier to develop from AOSP. It is also easy to port from the same phone but different carriers. The difficulty comes from porting from one device to another.

This is gonna be epic in my opinion Rumors were being thrown around saying that there is a possibility that we (GS3 users in general) could get Smart Stay for like videos as seen with the GS4 and maybe Smart Scroll too.
