I can't wait! I know we have 2.3 already but am very excited bout some new roms based off of it using the proprietary drivers and stuff that was made specifically for this phone! I know the desire z finally came out but not a big fan of sense. Love my CM but ready for a change of scenery I did not have this phone in the beginning but I'm assuming there was a butt load of custom froyo roms based off the official till froyo became old news.

the leaked gingerbread build for the g2 is the official and there are already asop roms out. check out rmks glite rom.
Totally agree with you OP! Use to like sense but not much anymore, to me feels like a bloatware and takes up to much resources. Whilst I do love CM7, theres always somthing that doesn't function quite right.
Has the official 2.3 update arrived yet for the G2? Or any ETA's?

Its not the final. People who have gotten the phone with that build of gb on it from tmobile (refurbs) have been told they have accidentally gotten a test build of gingerbread on it. Also if it was really the final why would it have been finished months ago and still not released.

Has everyone jumped to the ics bandwagon? Ive noticed that many gb based roms are not being updated or any new roms are being made from gb...

I have noticed that too, I kinda like the GB ones my self...more stable at the moment, I think anyway...
I'm still running Caulk's EL29. I see way too many issues with the ICS leaks.
I don't want to have to put up with force closes, loss of notification sounds, bad battery life, loss of the ability to move apps to the SD, or any of the other seemingly random bugs that may or may not plague me depending on the phase of the moon or if I had the right amount of toadstool and eye of newt ready when I flashed.

I agree, I don't think we should be wasting our time on ICS until it becomes a final product. I have been tempted to go to another phone because of the lack of development. I personally like running Blazer ROM 4.0, really good ROM.
re
I perfer GB roms more as well. And agree with finding them more stable and better GUI interface. Still running Caulk's EL29 as well. no problems at all with it. But could someone help me with a Kernel issue of trying to find the right kernel that supports BLN?? please and thankyou.
I prefer gb as far as reliability but like the look n feel of ics... Didnt realize gb roms would come to such a halt...

re
I like the blueish look of ICS and the icons but not the feel for the simpleness look of it.. woulda expected a bit more for a vast or anxious release that many people want. some of the added features are interesting as well but should be hard to implement them for GB as well..
Well, here goes my first post.....
I took the plunge tonight. Went from from stock rooted el29 to sfhub's stock rooted fc22.
It seemed a little unstable for me so oc rooted back to el29, installed cwm and used my nandroid backup to restore all my settings.
All in all, it was a good exercise to see all the capabilities of ICS, but i am going to stick with GB until the official roll out.
I am pretty amazed with the development community here!
eric
I've tried just about every leaked ICS build and currently am running sfhub's one-click FC22 but EL29 remains my go-back-to build for guaranteed stability.
I've stopped installing all my apps, mostly because I'm unsure of restoring apps within new builds, so it makes it easier for me to play around with the leaks and learn something new.
Stick with gb. Ics is not a daily drive in my opinion. I have tried them all. Calks el29 is by far the best rom for this phone at the moment.

What exactly are you wanting them to update? I only run calks builds but I assume nobody left a half finished project out there except maybe cm7 lol. ICS will be final very soon and everyone will forget about GB.

Everyone has to realize that many of the developers have taken the Gingerbread Roms just about as far as they can.
Also, they're releasing these ICS builds so that they (and we) can learn more about ICS so when the finalized product does arrive from Samsung we'll all be better prepared. They will have a better handle on it from a programming perspective and the end users will already have a better idea on how to handle certain problems as they arise.
Edit: I'm running Calkulin's GB Rom btw
I'm curious... why hasn't anybody attempted to create a rom or release a stock rom for the new gb base update? The enhancements made seem to be iight.

Yes. Based on yesterday's GB base or a leaked incomplete ICS base. Not exactly "miles ahead".
Because its gingerbread.

Sticking with GB, I have yet to see a DD ICS Rom that isn't having a lot of issues. There is no source yet, or proper kernel. I'm patient, and until we get Team Kang's work on that, I have my ASUS 300T, so. Lol

Only 5% because majority of the older devices will never get it. Plus I doubt that's the right figure after a month passed by. OTA coming soon too.

I have tried darkside... its okay. definitely hard work was put in and i definitely appreciate it. but its really not totally stable. sometimes it seems to hang and i gotta reset the phone. one time, it hung and my alarm didnt go off... so i missed an interview...
i was just surprised given the fact that the gb base is totally stable while the ics one is kinda pieced together so i just assumed that somebody would have made something with it by now. its been out for a lil while. lol

Good things come to those who wait. As long as that new T-Mobile official ics doesn't drop within the next week, I am going to finish up the new LDE rom base for dw v3. When I work on a rom I like to run it so I can identify the issues. So I plan on finishing this up soon

Hi all,
After 2 years with the my beloved DINC (actually my 4th replacement) I am now getting a DINC2 from Asurion. I hadn't flashed anything since last year when I moved from CM7 to MIUI until a few weeks ago when I flashed to Abduction ICS. I love that ROM! It is well laid out, good looking, andruns great. It was like getting a new phone for me. Unfortunately my audio jacked borked so bye bye dinc.
I have looked around a bit in development here. I saw the sticky about not flashing the Chinese RUUs and not downgrading the bootloader. Can anyone suggest a ROM I might like? I'm hoping just to find a good one, get everything configured and not mess around flashing for awhile.
Thanks
For ICS roms, CM9 and AOKP are the two big ones. AOKP has more options and customization, but aeroevan's cm9 is modded specifically for our phone so it runs smoother. If you do use aokp, use aero's kernel with it. Personally, I switch between the two as new features come out.
If you're looking for a sense rom, nitsuj's TSM UltimateKangBang is very nice, I personally can't stand sense but I did flash that for a day and it was pretty smooth.

Thanks Proto that is very helpful. I'll probably try both CM9 and AOKP before I start configuring everything for myself. I use third party launchers, Apex right now, sense makes no sense anyway.
I personally prefer cm9. Aero released a version with some linaro tweaks that make the from even faster.

well i have the later firmware that comes with replacements from Vz. It appears I can't root unless I downgrade the bootloader and that seems to cause other e . Apparently this is only a problem with sense roms but I am going to wait for the expected ICS OTA this summer. What I want most is tethering and the ability to make Titanium and Nandroid backups. I have tethering so I can wait.
Thanks
The MIUI is really cool right now. From before, the rom had some graphical glitches whenever i downloaded files from my school website. Its partially fixed. Overall, i dig it. I cant wait until all the bugs are fixed.
Hello there peeps I need some help figuring this out. I I don't own this device I am just updating it for a friend who is stuck on gb.. I flashed a ics rom but it seems to be a Lil buggy even tho its apparently stock.. One of the blazer roms. What I'd like to know is which ics official stock rom should I flash not a custom rom but just pure Samsung stock ics? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dont get ICS. It sucks your better off on GB for this phone. Its all buggy
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
This link is to all stock links. Leaks and officials. You'll get tons of opinions, but i think this its what you asked for. I would recommend Fi03 or Fi25 if your friend is really wanting ics.

I'm running Kobridge's FI25 ROM. It's pretty stock-ish, fluid and overall great. Battery is nice as well. I'd give that a look and try.
Just go to settings and about phone and update firmware or android. The latest official ics build is fh13 so if he is on gb you will have to update to ff18 then fh13 or you can download a one click and use Odin to update. Depends if you want it rooted or not. If he is rooted now and has removed stock apps you will have to use a bone click option or revert back to stock first. You can look up qbking77 on YouTube and every custom rom he pretty much has a video for along with how to get the stock ota updates. To get the stock ics look after updating to the ics build go to Sprint id to change to the stock look or download a launcher like nova launcher or apex or whatever you prefer. If you want a stock ics rom with root you would want an aosp rom like cyanogenmod beta 1. Go to the original development thread.

I have had no issues at all with the ics ota updates but a lot of people have claimed issues. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after the updates and never had issues with battery or blue tooth or whatever else people complain about. I would say let her try ics for a week and see for herself. You can always go back to gb if she doesn't like it. I love cm9 beta 1 I just have some data issues sometimes but it's still being developed so I'm sure the minor issues the rom has are being worked on as we speak. There is also tons of leaks for ics the latest released leak is fi25. And I think it's supposed to be the last leak for ics until jelly bean is leaked.

FH13 which is the latest official works great for me.
Tappin' Typin'
FH13 the best so far.
Check this thread [Oficial OTA Repository] . I post all official OTA links. Download them all in order them copy paste them in SD card. Go to recovery and flash them in the right order.
Note: You must be pure stock and use stock recovery.
Instructions just in case:
1. You don't need to rename zip.
2. Copy to SD Card not Internal.
3. You most be full stock. (no root, no custom kernel etc.) these are official OTA zips directly from Google servers.

I put my woman on FF18 Stock rooted and changed build prop to say its Fi03 to avoid the update nag, added some lite placebo tweaks and she has zero complaints at all.
She actually used 3 times the bandwidth as me last month lmao and her battery is a rock thanks to screenstate, WiFi_idle_ms and a small a sysctl.conf..

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.
I just can't say enough good things about Re-Calked ROM. Battery life and smoothness are top notch and there are tons of mods for theming purposes, including a transparent status bar mod.
Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

Atrue we are a little bit behind and they treat us like step children, I'll give you that.... but have you not met the devs around here?
I think the dev and user support shown in E4gt's slice of paradise far outweighs official support at arms length
( and I've tried three jb builds, all of them daily-able)
I do see your point though.. a little official love couldn't hurt.
What I meant by no love is that ics is something I've been running so smooth since my HTC Sensation. The epic 4G touch has the same processor as the gti9100 yet I feel like sprint or Samsung is holding back. All the s2s I see are on gingerbread with people complaining about bugs and issues in official builds I find that unacceptable. But I don't have this device so idk how bad it is. I had a great ics experience both Sammy and aosp on international s2. The sprint variant seems like a killer device that just needs killer software to go with It.
Ps. thanks for everyone's input.. Putbuee on the latest ics leak odexed version with matching kernel and modem and the phone is flying!

What garwynn says is correct.
My g/f likes to stay on official releases, so she's on FH13. It was a HUGE improvement over the piece of crap that was FF18, so I would recommend that one.
Myself, I'm using stock rooted FI03 with stock FI03 kernel and FI03 modem. I'm pretty happy with this setup, and I probably won't be jumping to another ROM until JB is more stabilized.

Why do people make statements like that? " Huge piece of ..."etc blah..?
I used several ff18 builds with zero issues .. my woman's been on it for 2 months with zero issues as well.
So it was bad how exactly?
Not trying to be an ass . I've just never understood these blanket statements about an entire build being bad vs the possibility of one flash being bad...
Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying i dislike fh or fi builds either... I'm just saying I havent had a major issue with any build since fc27(I think)
I'm using stock rooted FI25 with the Agat 5.4 kernel and the Pegasusq governor. Works great for me! There are a lot of great custom ROMs out with CM9 being one of my favs but the bugs make me stick with stock.
