I'd like to start by saying I HATE Touchwiz. I mod my TW based rom to be as non-TW as possible. But it's still there.
I would love to run 10.1 or Liquid or whatever, but as we all know, reception is an issue.
Just curious if anyone in the know had any insights on the matter? I can't believe that it's impossible to get this working...but I'm starting to (believe, that is. )

Tell ya what, you get the RIL source code and someone will make it happen. The way they are getting RIL as it is, is very complicated and not perfect. More of a patch than anything.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If we get RIL source as someone else stated, or some amazing dev, it may get fixed. Our best chances right now are invisiblek and aeroevan. Aero made aosp fully working on the inc2. it was incredible.
Its gonna be just like when I had my thunderbolt... Lol got sick of waiting for a nice ROM to come out and then jumped ship for the sgs3 and right after I find the TB got their RIL so if that's any indication... I could go buy a new phone tomorrow and then y'all would get a proper ril the next day ha ha ha

I don't have any problems with RIL since over the past week or two on CM10.1 based ROMs. The work over the past week or two has been amazing!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I don't suppose anyone is aware of any new developments on the RIL issue with our phones? I'm still on CleanROM 8.2 (Android 4.3) because of signal issues with AOSP ROMs. Last time I looked into this, my understanding was that since Samsung hasn't released the RIL for the Verizon GS3, AOSP ROMs are all using the reverse-engineering Cyanogenmod RIL, which I know from experience is not as good as the Samsung one but it doesn't seem as if anyone's working on it anymore (understandably).
I can't imagine Samsung has changed their minds three years after the phone's release and released the RIL, but with the news about the Stagefright vulnerability I'd love to get off of Android 4.3 and on to a version that has been or will be patched against that bug. But last time I was on AOSP (just a month ago I tried OctOS and AICP), I was not getting any signal at all in places where I have no trouble at all on Touchwiz.

I am thinking 1st to 2nd week of December. I think Google and Samsung wants to release the Galaxy Nexus first in the US before they update the Nexus S.

It's for sure they'll hold back any OTA update until the U.S. release of the Galaxy Nexus. But I want it as soon as possible! I don't understand why some people flash ICS roms with no wifi for example, when the official update is so close.

Why is it for sure? Unless you have inside info that nobody else does. Besides the US release of the Nexus won't impact sales any because the nexus s isn't on Verizon anyways.

Ok, even if everything is working just fine, it doesn't really mean it doesn't have some problems. That's why an official update is better than an "alpha"/"beta" rom.
Besides, this is the reason why you buy a Nexus S in the first place, for updates. After the OTA, it's custom rom all the way
EDIT: @Jeff Dunn: almost forgot, it makes sense to release the update AFTER the phone that is supposed to be the new android flagship. And it doesn't matter that the Nexus S isn't available on verizon. You know, there are other countries outside the US... but nevermind.

But it has been released outside the US already. Which kinda invalidates your point. Regardless though we will see it when we see it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

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 never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..

Hey everyone! Most of you won't remember me, but I am back!
My kernel thread will be beyond repair to try and fix all the broken/dead links.
But....I have a CRAP TON of kernels and ROMs for the G2x stored on my laptop. Basically everything CM7 related kernels and ROMs, and some CM9 kernels and ROMs.
If there is something your in need of, let me know and I'll get it uploaded for you to download.
I'm still rocking the G2x for a little longer so I'll try to help anyway I can.
EDIT: Just did some checking on my kernel thread, seems the only dead links are Mazout360's. I can upload and share the Mazout kernels I have, although I believe the highest I have is v323OC but I'll fix up the kernel thread with new links since the rest are working.
Still, if there is something you need, contact me.

I see we are at the same point as when I left like 7 months ago with this phone. That's sad. I'm still using vanilla CM7, what's funny is my G2x still puts some of my friends pre-paid ICS android phones to shame in speed/camera/gaming etc. lol
Glad things are looking up bro! After you disappeared a lot of the other gurus started fading out also to other forums and better phones. It's very sad about the dev issues man =( After you got me rolling with CM7 I became a flash-addict. I've flashed every ROM I could find for this device. Even made a few ports for personal use but none were that great. I have used every ICS hackfest and have tried most of the jelly bean hack fests.....if it wasn't for the damn ril wakelock the JB hackfests would be awesome. But they average around 4-5 hours of battery life and that's just awful lol. I'm currently on eaglesblood 4.0.4 but always have a CM7 nandroid handy whenever I feel like going to back. Picking up the Nexus 5 in a few weeks, you decide on your next rig yet?

Lol Im prob going to be stuck with this G2x for a bit longer, no money for an upgrade.
If I did pick something, I'd be looking at the LG G2, it's sweet, and being a non-nVidia device this time will make custom modding alot better as there's no proprietary drivers involved like with the G2x.
G2 is really sweet....but there doesn't seem to be a lot of development for it right now which is making me lean toward the nexus 5

I only partially blame LG for the lack of development, nVidia played a huge role in the G2x's demise as well. The G2 has a Snapdragon and from what I've read, development on a Snapdragon device is pretty good on the mod scene.
I can only hope. But like I said, I have no money so I'll prob get stuck with an older model like the HTC One. Whatever Tmo is offering for free or discount on a plan renewal.
