Hey I was wonderin will there be a update for the epic to go to ics?? And does the epic run off gingerbread? ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Epic Touch runs Gingerbread 2.3.4. As for ICS, there is no official word and most likely will not be one very quickly. However, it is highly probable that an official version will come but if not there will certainly be one released here.
Ok coo I am hopin they do have on for this phone.... if not does this mean id have to root my phone to get it??

Don't know. Considering there are many top notch phones, including the original epic still running froyo, nothing is for certain. Buy a phone for what it has now, without any expectations for the future, or you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Maybe we should start nagging Samsung John lol
It will come out for this phone. Its samsungs flag ship device.it may be mid 2012 but this phone will get a OTA and I'm sure once its released from google as vannilla for other S2's it will be ported much before the OTA. But like a guy that posted a few posts back. Are device is great and ejoy it for what amazing tech it is and when ICS is released ( which I don't even doubt it will be ) just take it as a bonus.
Ya I just hope ya know cuz im not really wanting to root my phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I doubt it
Samsung's business strategy seems like new rom with new phone only so far. They have to make money for spending so much on their R&D and I think they make it this way. I will not expect it from Samsung, but yes Devs here are awesome and they will bring it.
Should I really root my phone tho like what are the pluses for rooting this phone

I have a feeling samsungs official ics build for our phone will be very similar to this.

GSM =/= CDMA. Unfortunately.
If we get an ICS leak, then devs would probably be more willing to work on it from there. But Touchwiz ICS looks terrible. I'd make an AOSP theme for it if it looked like that upon release.
Omg, smh, wth,... Y r people still posting about devs porting ics. This is days in a row Aaaahhhhhhh b patient. close thread pls.

Im loving the development work that is going on for our beautiful TMobSGS2, but I'm surprised I havent seen a ICS port yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus images being released.
Is anyone working on this in secret, or are there any other ICS roms that happen to work on our phone?
I would truly just love a rooted stock ICS rom. thats my dream at the moment. I dont know how to improve on ICS except switches in the notification bar, which is easy enough.
I doubt we will have a good working ICS before atleast a month from now. That is if we even get a stable one.
ICS came out two weeks ago on galaxy nexus...if you really want it then buy a galaxy nexus.

Are there going to be any pure ics roms made for galaxy s2. Currently using a vibrant with pure ics running, love pure ics just want a faster phone. Saw recent video running ics on galaxy s2 with no visible changes nothing like nexus. I suppose it its because of touch wiz. Is there a dev working on pure ics like what is on nexus? Trying to figure which phone to get. Thanks for your comments in advance.

theres gotta be a million people working on a rom for it, the sources are out.
just below your thread is posted about how it's coming officially. If someone doesn't make it stable before the end of q1 [pfffft] at least samsung will have it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402463&page=2
There should be some roms soon. Best you may be able to hope for is a CM based rom. Not pure ICS but pretty close

quit exaggerating; this is only the 23rd thread this week asking that question, and, after all, it is wednesday already.....
I can guarantee you wont see it till about 2-3 weeks after the Galaxy Nexus launches for Sprint. It is rumored that will be on April 15th as we know Sprint is releasing a new phone or 3 on that day and has yet to disclose what they will be. The reason for this being the Nexus will be the only stock ICS phone available through Sprint. Need to get a few weeks of sales in before they release the OTA ICS for all other slotted phones. It's marketing 101
Your E4GT called and said there is a nice iPhone waiting for you... Swap phones and go to tipb.com... then you can upgrade to 5.1 not 4.0.4

Um.. wouldn't the fact that bugs exist want you to have it tested MORE, not less? Dang, there's the programmer in me again in thinking you should only release a quality product that is as bug free as possible... especially since I don't want to have to spend the rest of my life "firefighting" (support mode squashing bugs)
:facepalm
While I'm at it, I'll give you the programmer's response:
When it's ready. These things take time, you know.
...No, I don't really care about your deadline, I'm not going to support releasing a product with a lot of known bugs!
Does anyone know if sprint is going.to release an official ics? Rumors I heard was that early June that we would see an official update to ics?

If you were able to root you HTC the epic is much easier to root there are one click tools to root the epic in the dev forum sfubs has easy to follow instructions and there are gb based roms and if you want a taste of ICS roms as stated I would root just to get rid of bloatware

Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.

Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].

Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.

Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.

I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.
