4.0.4?

I hate to be "that guy" and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination trying to say progress is hasn't been made because the past few weeks have amazing... but any clue as to when we will see some 4.0.4 love?

I doubt we will soon. Final ICS for this phone is pretty much going to be 4.0.3 it's up to Samsung to actually get the updates and since they never did update to 2.3.7 I don't think we will see 4.0.4 anytime soon honestly.

If you look up the difference it really is only bug fixes. Those bugs might be specific to the Nexus G so it might be a pointless update. Correct me if I am wrong. It just seems like there is no difference.

4.0.4 was released nexus s to begin with and pulled quick so we will get probably a 4.0.5 or .6 for update

way to early for that question, cant just wait for android 4 just to hit the device officially in the first place. this thread is going to probably head down hill pretty quickly....

2.3.7 was only for google wallet and only for the sprint nexus s thats why this phone never got it and 4.0.4 fixes the Android OS bug. The reason this phone is not getting 4.0.4 yet (if it evers gets it) is cuz source is not out.

[Q] Samsung or Sprints fault?

As you know we dont have ics source yet for our phones :/
but other samsung phones like the GS2(AT&T) and the Note are already using ics.
So my question is, at this point, who is to blame for our ics not being released?
BTW, if im wrong about something, tell me cause im kinda new at this

Samsung controls the source code and the ROM.
Sprint only controls if we get OTA update.

Historically, update around 6 months after the new android is released is normal for sprint android phones. Takes longer for cdma phones because GSM gets worked on first due to the much larger user base

Could be that Samsung won't officially release ICS for the epic touch until S3 is out? The could be copying what HTC does for their devices. Release the update after a new model is launched.

Is it really that big of deal. We will still be getting ics before a lot of other devices and some devices that came out around the same time won't get it all. Samsung/sprint don't even need to release ics for this phone. I am just happy we will be getting it at all. It sounds like its very close anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

There are good reasons why ICS hasn't gone OTA just yet... And in the end it will be a win for everyone. Those that have been working on addressing bugs and trying to ensure the major ones - like the "superbrick" or eMMC bug - are addressed before OTA are doing so in the hopes that our release is the best that it can be.
But don't take my word for it... Just look at the most recent threads in the General forum. You will see the effort that the XDA community, Samsung and Sprint have put in so far to have this roll out with as few issues as possible.

I really dont understand why everyone is complaining so much about this ota update. Some variant of ics has been available for this phone for months. Its been fun to flash the leaks and try out various roms with a stable gb base to roll back to just in case. Samsung and Sprint could have dumped a decent ics leak on us several months ago but they decided to work it a bit more and give us some 4.0.4. If you want ics now then flash el22, its awfully nice.

Jelly bean on supersonic?

I know you guys are still working on ICS for the supersonic but is it even possible for jellybean to be ported over? I know its been ported to a more powerful Galaxy Nexus.

If it is at all, ICS took some months before stable ROMS started showing up, so it would not be something you can expect right away

It isn't! Just think when we were on 2.3 and we got that upgrade to 2.3.4 and then 2.3.5 and 2.3.7
ICS and Jelly Bean aren't that far apart.......there's only about a dozen new features that make Jelly Bean different
I took a look at the framework-res.apk and a few other core apks and it looks like Google just added on to ICS instead of building Jelly Bean from the ground up BUT I'm sure someone will read an article over at Engadget and come in here and try to act smarter then me..hahaha

That explains why the GUI isn't as drastically different

So jelly bean is coming out soon but ics camera is not ironed out yet.
Why most ics roms still have still camera issues (FFC) or smooth video playback or even recording? hasn't the necessary files been acquired since google is planning on releasing JB?
I just dont understand. When can we have ICS camera that works like GB cameras?

Miui got the camera to work on their ics roms
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

If miui got the ffc working on ics then it's probably not an hwa ics rom

The most common misconception among noobs is that developers are not working on fixing bugs just because they don't have a WIP thread or they're not updating you every 5-10 minutes. Most developers like to keep things private until they get ready to release it :good:
Another one is that, things are real easy like just swapping the camera.apk from a rom that has it working to another one in order to get things working...hahahahhaa
There's also priorities! Fixing Temple Run or instagram is usually at the bottom of the list when it comes to bugs for a developer....don't expect a developer to drop everything he or she is doing so that you can share pictures of your cat on instagram
The reason the FFC isn't working yet is because is not as easy as some of you guys think it is! This becomes even harder for a device that's EOL....instead of asking WHY is not working, you could be asking....what can I do to help the developers make it work!
Having ICS (4.0.4) with a working camera and HWA on a device that's 2 years old and was made for froyo/gb is an achievement on it's own! Instead of asking why things aren't working and possibly turning this thread into YET ANOTHER dev bashing thread, let's be thankful that we have the developers we do Things could go downhill if we start acting like iPhone users and start complaining because things are not fixed fast enough or when we want it......let's just chill out! Things like the FFC will come in time.......remember how long it took for us to even get HWA!
Also Jellybean will come sooner or later, someone will port it! I'm almost sure that it will come......whether that's Team D.I.R.T or Diablo or JMZ or some random dude that we've never heard of...IT WILL COME!! Now, let's stop with the GIVE ME NOW attitudes!
I'm not trying to sound all high and mighty here BUT it bothers me to hear people say "why hasn't this been fixed yet" or "the EVO 3D has this working, why can't we get it done" but nobody wants to step up and help out? Everyone wants to ask for ETAs and ask what's taking so long or demand every feature they can name on a rom BUT I don't see too many people offering to help.......just saying!
FYI guys, things like this can't be fixed by just swapping apps around or downloading an app from the Play Store.....I heard some guy (to remain nameless) say "why don't we just get the camera from the sensation so that way we can get FFC going" and almost died laughing...hahahahahahaha

I would **** my pants if someone got jb running smooth on the evo with almost everything working

Jellybean for epic 4G touch

Does anyone know if the Samsung epic touch 4g is going to get the jellybean OTA?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

If it's like ICS I would say you will get a good stable build from Cyanogenmod before Samsung does anything.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

No, we will not get Jellybean OTA, we were lucky enough to get ICS OTA, and the OTA ICS we did get is full of bugs and issues. AOSP is you're best bet.

Samsung did announce sg2, 3 and notes will all get jellybean. How quick sprint does an ota is different.

Jelly Bean OTA
Also, just to add.....If the GS2 for some reason does not get the full JB update, Samsung said they will release an update with different features from JB.

For those that followed the fh13 may find more info on the jb update from an inside source.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I dont see why not. The E4GT is still a high end phone and should be able to handle JB. But Sprint will most likely take a long time to roll it out and by then, we'll have a stable cm10 build

im pretty sure after all the gnex do. hell even the nexus s has it already

With the disaster that ics turned into I can't see jb doing any better.
The Epic is a high end gingerbread device, and will always be a top contender in the gingerbread arena.

I'm sorry but I'm tired of seeing you post the same thing over and over and over again. We all get it, you don't like ICS, or it doesn't work well for you, maybe it kicked your dog... something... be that as it may this is only your OPINION. You refer constantly to the ICS debacle. I'm not sure what this means, as ICS seems to work very well for the large majority of users around here. I'm sure at this point you be tempted to bring up what you think are bugs. Keep in mind these issues do not apply to the vast majority of users. Keep in mind that most of the people posting about how bad ICS is don't even understand why not doing a full wipe and keeping the GB app framework would cause the majority of the issues they are having. Keep in mind most of the people posting these issues seem to be allergic to research and problem solving skills, instead choosing to post "dis broke,y u no fix it for me naow!"The only issue I EVER had with ICS was sub par battery life until I took the time to set things up properly, then I was back to 18-24 hours to a charge with ~4 hours of screen time. Insofar as JB I've been running sbrissens aosp, it is fantastic, definitely an improvement on ICS and I can't wait to see how awesome it ends up given its useability in these really early alphas- I've had no problems using it as a daily driver....lastly as to why you think this is a "GB device" I just simply do not understand. The hardware in this phone is still better than 3/4 or more of the devices currently on the market. Are you telling me you don't think a class leader, like the e4gt, is capable of receiving an os upgrade ~7 months after its launch. Hell, until June this was still the best phone out. Hell, ICS runs awesome on the og evo and the damn hd2! The argument that this phone is a "gingerbread device" is just downright stupid, sorry.
I did not mean to flame you nor am I trying to be an ass. But I've seen you post the same thing so many times I finally had to say something. Your opinion is not fact.
And on topic yes I think we'll see official jb, I could care less though, other than for kernel source , I'm never leaving aosp/cm10/eventually aokp jb for anything... too good...

Is it the new 4.1 update? Because when I flashed it, it was horrible. It was also the Alpha 2. I kept getting lost signal, my 4G kept dropping, my phone stayed in Airplane mode when I turned it on. I kept having to do a reboot.
I don't think I'll be using CM10 until an Alpha 5. I'm running CM9 Alpha 6 and it's running nice for me now.

All those issues have been mostly fixed in the alpha build. There's little to no reports on LOS now. I suggest you give it a try again, you're missing out

I guess Google Voice Dial is still broken and that's a Google issue that only they can fix. If so, that and the small and dark desk dock screen are enough to keep Jelly Bean from being a daily driver for me on any phone.

Eh... I'm afraid. LoL!! Little to no reports? I'm afraid Ima be that one. I don't feel like I'm missing that much. I have a Nexus 7, and I have Google Now installed. That's all I really wanted from Jelly Bean, Google Now. I can really care less about everything else. LoL!! I mean my phone's running smoothly now.
I'll give it a try though. Wouldn't hurt.

Even if there was a booting Android 4.2 ROM, I doubt it would be as stable as the existing ICS and JB ROMs, which have taken much time and effort to smoothen out. Last time I checked, the camera and camcorder on JB were partially functioning, and (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Netflix and Hulu are still really buggy...

I have plans on playing with the 4.2 and the pacman roms as soon as i can break away from school and work,i have a few people that has offered their help in my endeavor,if someone else doesn't beat me to it first.I stll have this beast until sept of 2013 when i get my upgrade,if i don't buy one first,so i might as well try to make the best of it.
