Skyrocket ICS Leak questions

Hey guys I have some questions that will help me decide whether I should install the AT&T ICS leak or not. So if I install it, will I still be able to receive OTA updates? Also, when I add widgets, will it look like it did in 2.3.6? Like with the menu at the bottom. And last of all, will I still have the tilt to zoom feature? Or will that be gone? Thanks a lot!
**Sorry I forgot to mark this thread as a question. I didn't see that until after I clicked submit.

1. No
2. Widgets are the same, at least I didn`t find any difference
3. Yes

I find UCLE2 (debloated non-root) fast and stable as a DD. I planned to qualify for OTA with a nandroid of 2.3.5 I took. The thing I miss most is better looking and smooother navigating themeing, like I had in Doc's Master on my Captivate.

I don't know if I should worry about the OTA updates. Do you think so?

No reason to in my opinion. Unless you plan on keeping your phone stock anyway.

UCLE2 in its stock form was good for me, but it drained the battery very quickly. Sky ICS 4.2 has been very, very good, even reasonable with the battery. I wonder if the final ATT release of ICS will be even close.

I guess I will also root. I don't see a point in not to. I mean it saves battery, can make your phone faster, and more. Is there all the cool features in Sky ICS from 2.3.6 stock? Like the tilt to zoom? Thanks
**Edit** Oh and what is UCLE2?

UCLE2 is the code name of Samsung's third leaked (sneak preview) stock ICS Rom developed for the Skyrocket. It might soon prove to be identical to the ICS upgrade version AT&T eventually finishes "customizing" and releases OTA. it is Android 4.0.4

ATT will be dropping ICS by the end of June, I plan on waiting till then

If you believe that I have some prime real estate in the Florida Everglades I'd like to sell ya.
Sorry, not trying to be ****-ish, but I'm just not buying it. I don't care if it was the CEO of AT&T who said it -- we've all been lied to enough times by now on official ICS.
Screw official OTA's. I'd be perfectly content if we could just get kernel source from a leak. Hands are tied on a ton of stuff our devs could be doing until we get that.

OTA updates not worth waiting for
I agree--I wouldn't believe anything an AT&T rep says about the official release. It's way more fun to play around with all these ROMs anyway.

Agree, I love playing with ROMs! I hope that rep wasn't lying, I have a copy of his message and he could lose his job over that.

use your brain and think about it for a second. Plus this thread is beyond stupid. Stop your nonsense.

wow.... thanks for the replay SMART one.... if you're so smart why don't you answer?????????? it's called "Q&A" SMART one.....

It'll be fine. I'm sure an update will be on the way tonight. Last I read he did up a new base anyways, so, yeah, we'll see.

The multitudes of people that are wandering what's going on I'm sure Sean or a mod will have a direct answer at some point.
I really hope they let him update his ROM..

was kind of wondering why his thread got locked, i figured they could just remove the links and let him re-up without the dropbox apk later, but either way i'm sure he'll have something set up at some point.. removing that dropbox apk isn't a dealbreaker.. lol

Depends on what the Drop Box people have to say about it. Might be more serious than we know.

I'm sure most everyone has already acquired the 50gb of storage from Seans prior releases.. no going back now!

Well technically dropbox is free but to get 50gigs you will need to pay. Most of the US carriers opted out of it anyway as you only get to use it for 2 years. I could see it being a big deal but I don't think its that serious unless dropbox is going crazy over it. Its like the whole touchpad thing where you could get more space by just logging in with your touchpad.

hate waiting
I'm a new user so I can't post on Sean's threads. But I have to say that his roms are amazing! I hope he can bring up the links soon. Did I read that he was working on a new base?

I was fortunate enough to get the latest base and update before the links were removed. It is smoother than ever with his latest base. I'll tell you what, if Sean is forced to leave, I'll leave.

Update or wait?

I just got my Note yesterday and it is telling me there is a update. Reading all the negative comments about what it did to s notes is it worth updating or would you wait.
Thanks

If you select it its probably not there anyway... They pulled it for some reason.
Go ahead and try.

Ah good. Maybe they are fixing the things they broke

I find the changes to s-Note to be a great improvement actually. Many people here can be quick to judge without first trying to understand why the change was made. One of the update's features is the addition of the S Note miniapp which is one of the greatest things to ever happen to my research.

I like the note better after the update . feels more responsive too.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

Most peoples knock on the update is the addition of the horrid useless little panning box that appears whenever snotes is in split screen. It literally takes up 1/4 of the available real estate and serves no purpose.
The other additions are good.

Well hopefully those of us with replacement devices, probably caused by the update, as well as others who purchased new after the update was pulled will get to experience this corrected update if Samsung is working on a new update.

Wowsers. I think this news deserves its own thread.
THIS is the probable reason Samsung pulled the update. They are getting ready to push out JB.

Official Jelly Bean released for Sprint Galaxy S III

Just saw that Sprint released their S III JB update. Sort of disappointed by Verizon. Do we have any hope for this update coming out for the Verizon variant this year?

Lol. Verizon is such garbage. Its a shame nobody can compete with them in LTE in my area or I would be long gone.

Don't worry Verizon will get its jelly bean soon......on the thirty-second of neveruary.

Is this going to help any with jelly bean on the Verizon GS3?

You'd need a Verizon JB rom for the base if I'm not mistaken? I thought that was more for changing between different ICS-modded roms (although I could be wrong there).

Heres to December? Just spam Verizon with "Where's the Beans".

Yeah, because Verizon really cares how many threads we create on XDA about the update. You are basically spamming your own boards.

I sent them a few tweets this morning even though they will be ignored. Figured it takes less than a minute and can't hurt to try.

Well when sprints leak hit it did help us a little we got svdo working. The Rom itself was rather buggy but it got fixed. This might be more stable than T-Mobile leaks but still not as good as the real deal.

Hell I don't even care really about an OTA really, I just want a leak at least! I'm missing some of the JB features from my GNex.

Verizon is really irritating me, especially because I've been holding out on installing Wallet due to the isis release that were not even getting! Give us our jb, and release the restrictions on wallet. Wtf

I hope someone can port it today!!!!!!

I just want Google now. Like official, everything working flawlessly Google now. I tried it on CM10 and loved it

You don't.
There are Verizon TW-JB roms that mix the Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile leaks.

Will we see 4.3 on the GSIII from the Devs?

Looks like the full build of 4.3 finally leaked. Looks like it'd be functional except for RIL/Radio and a Kernel for anyone.

I'll try to port it later on tonight, yolo
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

It was leaked on the Nexus 4. So in due time we will get it. As for Yolo I am getting sick and tired of people saying it on stupid sh**. Instead of "I am climbing Mt. Everest #yolo" you get "I am eating Frosted Flakes #yolo".

It's way funnier to use on cornflakes. It's a way of mocking people who actually use it in a serious way.
Bout to go eat lunch, Yolo.
With this phone still being unlocked, we will see dev love for a long time.

AOSP roms will definitely upgrade to 4.3. Samsung, however, still hasn't updated us to 4.2.2 so don't expect 4.3 from them this year

Makes sense. Also, Sammy is fast tracking their devices to get newer Android versions to be current and less fragmented. I think Android Central had an article about it.
