Develop Bugs

Did the TB kill the devepoment for our Dinc?

Probably not, but it sure seems like the forums got real quiet the last few days. Just sayin....

got to agree. does seem a bit quiet. i am keeping both (well, the inc goes to the daughter but i will keep tweaking it for her) so i want the devs to keep working on the inc.

It's probably temporary, the Inc community will last for a while.
Sent from my Incredible with the XDA Premium App.

Recently (as in a few days ago) coming from an Eris, which was 'end-of-life' in the middle of last year, and then received Gingerbread almost instantaneously after it was released to the public thanks to our fine devs here at XDA, I highly doubt the DInc will die out any time soon. This phone has way too much potential.

I expert it do die down in time, but the CM machine will keep chugging. Honestly, so long as Cyanogen has a DInc ROM, I'll be content. I use launcher pro, and prefer stock android over anything else, so not having new versions of sense isn't a big deal to me. Sometimes I like to jump on the MIUI train, but I always end up back with Cyanogen. They always support their phones so well, I imagine development for cm will continue long past the DInc's shelf-life.

I think even if it does dwindle, it will only be minor. As long as we have CM and a good maintaner we should always have something new and better to throw on our phones. The only thing is I've always wanted to see AOSP roms with tv-out but I see very little future in anyone dev that now that interest in it has died down.

I have been tryin z roms lately with very good success, and their cameras are the bomb. Aosp is nice an smooth, but i like the option to switch atound alot, plus cm camera just isnt that good. Im runnin miui gb now, with zero issues, kinda shox me for a first release just how good this rom is. I would love to see gb sense though just to have it.

The devs have shifted focus to the Thunderbolt to give it a jump start in the root and rom arena. After this happens I'm sure we'll seen new stuff for the DInc again. Shoot! Someone will probably port the TB ROM to DInc.

That rom has been leaked, figure it would have been ported by now.

I can't speak for all developers but I myself will be returning to work on the Inc as soon as the major crap is done with the Thunderbolt such as CWM and CM 7. I'll still be here but not full time just yet.

I just don't see the rom being much better granted the new Sense might be cool to look at.
DINC // CM7 RC2 // SLAYHER#9

I may be completely wrong in saying this but i think the tb is actually going to increase the amount of dev on the dinc. When you look at the evo and dinc there are roms that run on both. From what ive heard of the tb its basically a evo just a lil bit better. So as soon as a good way is made for easy transfer of rom from tb to dinc or to evo we will have more options on the dinc. Plus as soon as the problems are sorted out of how to get tb roms and code to run on the dinc we will be getting more updates to stock releases.

Good to know you have our back.

I had an Iphone 4, didn't like iOS so I decided to go check out the thunderbolt, I was less than impressed. No 4g around me, and I didn't want to pay $100 on top of giving my iphone 4 back. So I picked up an incredible, and couldn't be happier. Its such a solid phone. Perfect size.

I personally cannot wait until people start (hopefully) coming back to the Inc, it's been dead here lately, more than usual anyway.
Don't want to see the Inc die.

Makes sense, I watch the EVO forums still rock, Nexus One forums will always be rocking, and with the Inc being such a close relative, just surprised activity has fallen off a little.

Yeah, im just hopin tgings start pickin up soon. There are alot of roms that could be ported, but nothing as of lately.

The OG Epic just got GB not too long ago. I had that on my OG EVO in like, what, April? March? thanks to CM...I have been doing aftermarket updates (lol, more like 'beforemarket') since I got into Android, so, I don't know if they even bother issuing minor point releases like this especially with ICS around the corner.
Why go to all the trouble of making the update and the hassles of dealing with carrier approval and stuff like that when they can skip that process and get right to work delaying ICS for 6 months.

All it adds Is overscroll glow and google wallet that we can't use anyways

The OG Evo got gingerbread in June, right before the release of the 3D.
As for the update. LOS fix, Android OS battery leak fix and just some optimization is my hope.
I want ICS, so I hope they're working on that next

Good news

ICS is close.

Don't get too excited, while our phones may have a Exynos CPU we also are the only ones with a CDMA and Wimax radio. That the biggest reason we don't have CM7 yet while all the other SGSII's do, at least in beta form. It may take some time to get the driver situation sorted so I wouldn't expect the E4GT to get ICS in beta form as soon as the others.

Doubt it bubby has a working AOSP kernel for MIUI 3g wifi and gps all work so far

Is it safe to say that we'll see an official ICS release from Samsung/Sprint before we see CM9 w/ 4G?

Kudos to Bubby on that but just cause he gets it doesnt mean it'll be supported by CM. If they try to merge it and it breaks the existing builds, thats a no go. Slayher worked forever on the tbolt and it never played nice, the build itself is awesome but it couldn't be synced to mainline properly...not even sure its supported yet (although i sold that a couple months ago).
Not trying to be a downer, just realistic.

Samsung made a comment last month regarding ICS on the Galaxy SII.
Official update from Samsung and carriers will be 2nd Qtr next year = April - June. Unfortunately this sounds about right. I recall the original EVO 4G didn't get official Gingerbread update until June, six months after it was out.
Plus Samsung said they want the Galaxy S3 out a little earlier, Spring next year. I bet we see Samsung's next gen Galaxy series release first before the SII gets official ICS update.
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6

EDIT: Nevermind.

Wow... you guys are patient.

So, I have been eyeing this phone as well as Samsung phones in general for quite some time. I have to say, you guys have been more the patient in your wait for an official ICS release. This kind of delay doesn't fly for HTC users... and from what I am seeing, the HTC EVO 3D will likely release ICS before this phone... which is very surprising to me. But the most surprising thing is that there is no animosity over here about that.
You guys impress me.

Well the leaks we have received are definitely stable enough to hold us over. The majority of us are waiting for the kernel source to be released!

2 different companies doing the same kind of work. Nothing says one will beat the other. The job is done when its done.

Ive had ICS on this since the day I got the phone. Basically used an upgrade from another line I had so I could get the hell away from Evo3D. I was always an HTC fanboy but that device is the biggest POS I've ever had the pleasure of owning. And went through 4 of them (Had since launch). Waiting to see what happens by Nov to see what happens next.

There is something called life, and people live it. Why waste time waiting for ics when there are so many other activities to do besides pimping your phone?

I own both phones. Until the recent virgin mobile leak for the Evo 3D, the Evo didn't even have a decently working ICS build. For the longest time the dual camera setup prevented working cameras in any ICS build and even to this day there isn't a single AOSP rom that isn't without major missing features.
The E4GT was much better off than the Evo 3D for the past few months and to be honest it still is since the only 100% functioning ICS build on the Evo right now is sense 3.6 based which just doesn't compare to sense 4.0. Yes official ICS may release first for the Evo, this will indeed greatly improve the phones ****ty original sense 3.0 gingerbread setup but it will still only be sense 3.6. Yuck.
Trust me, I've got no reason to hate on the Evo, I've always been an HTC guy and own an Evo 3D afterall.

O yea the evo design and 3d already have ics

I had the evo 3d and it was probably the worse phone ever. Too many hardware problems with a really bad design and HTC supposed to have good build quality lol. Sense 3 kind of made it slow for a dual core. I have yet to use sense 3.6 but it looks ugly.

I've been running ICS since February on the e4gt, but to be honest, I really don't find a big difference between it and gingerbread. Really just incremental upgrades. So, I really don't understand the huge clamor for ICS from the user side, when it's more of a boon for Google and the manufacturers who can use a single release on both their phones and their tablets.

Can I have my jellybeans and eat them too?!

First off, I would just like to thank all the devs who have worked like mad men on giving all us dinc users some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich, for without your amazing work I surely would have thrown my phone in a fit of rage into a wall a loooong time ago. Now, even though there's no official word yet, until later this morning , I think it's safe to assume that Jellybean will end up being named Android OS 4.1 instead of 5.0 (ICS, but with improvements). With all of this in mind, is it possible that we could actually get some JB love? I understand that we'll have to wait until they release the source code to know for sure, but with what we've heard so far it sounds like it actually could be possible. Idk, am I just missing something obvious here?
P.S. I'm asking this mostly because I'm trying to get my posts # up (I'm new here, be nice), although I'd love if we could entertain this thought for a moment. I think I only have like 2 posts so far (cuz I ACTUALLY search for stuff, WOW!!!!) so bear with me, please and thank you!

From what ive seen ics doesn't really push our GPU or CPU that hard. I think our phones should run it great.
