ICS General Discussion Thread. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've Made this thread in par with the [Dev-only] ICS development only thread so that all questions,comments and or even THANKYOUS can be posted here. Please do try and keep this thread alive without any idiocy (spam). DO NOT post in the Dev thread u less u have actual development. It doesn't matter how argue-mental the post become as long as it still always is related to ICS. As long as everyone just stops making new threads about ICS.
You may spam ur ICS needs here. Enjoy.
I will update this op with any Information regarding our phone and ICS whenever it comes available.

Alright guys, I should not even be saying anything but Im going to anyway. I know many of you are tired of waiting for ICS and feel like we are the odd man out while everyone else gets a taste of the glory. This is in fact not the case! I'm not going to name names, or comment on anything else, but I will say that development is VERY much alive for this phone. Its also allot closer than any of you think. Trust me, there is a very tallented group of people who are close to making this dream a reality.
Me making a comment in this thread does infact violate what this thread was intented to do and for that I'm sorry. My intention is just to inform you that we too shall taste sweet victory soon. My only request is that we move non-development related questions and comments to the Q&A or general subforum so we can keep this thread clean for future use. I look forward to basking in the sweet taste of a delicious sandwich with all of you very soon

Oh yeah, I forgot that one got closed.

ICS ICS, where art thou?

What can I do to help the devs working on this project?

I'm starting to think his phone won't get it. Hell the old Droid got it and we have hardly anything going on for this phone.

According to someone of a dev level ICS is extremely close so just be patient.

As for you. Read my comment above Mr.negative. If ur running Cm7 or MIUI then u literally just hypocritically commented on yourself. (in a far fetched way) =P

Also there are plenty of good ROMs in the dev thread.
Sent from my E4GT using xda premium

I don't necessarily understand it. I've used ics and it's pretty good, but the roms we currently have in the dev section are really awesome. Yeah, ics has some great tweaks that I look forward to coming to this device, but I'm pretty content and happy with the current roms and development we have. Thanks to all the devs!

I'm sure ICS will be here. No need to show negativity. Just have patience

Im sure they dont want to give us something half done. Wait till they have a stable build then they will drop it.
My guess now that chris41g will drop ics hes been aful quiet

I'm pretty sure they will release a ICS update for it. The community will more than likely release one first though.

Samsung will have one, but it will have TouchWiz. But a lot of us want either pure ICS or a CM9 build, ya know?

The only reason im waiting ics for my epic is native otg support..

Don't start that flaming crap, just left the 3d and most of the threads are filled with flame this and flame that. Just sick of people talking **** because they don't approve of the location the op might have chose either on purpose or accident. Just saying that this forum is a nice change where you actually get help or learn something by reading the thread instead of following 9 million different arguments over bull.

Back to stock gingerbread for me :(

So I had to switch back to gingerbread after a week or so of running the ics leak. The deal breaker for me was battery life. I absolutely loved being on ics and consider it vastly superior, but, even swapping out batteries (I have 2) it was still too much work. And then theres the failness of showing someone how awesome ics is and then WTF IS KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE... lol. It was a good daily driver but I like when my phone lasts more than 6 hours. I cant wait for a stable ROM to be released! And I congratulate all the devs on your hard work. Guys if it werent for you I would be so much less of a nerd, and for that I salute you.

It's an experimental build so of course it will have bugs, this thread was so not needed. Just go back to gingerbread.

Oh my god you flamer idiots need to get a life. I'm sure the OP wanted to inform people who were thinking about flashing the leak that battery sucks on it. Or maybe it's a poorly worded request for help. Either way you don't have to pile on like that.

If this leak is based on an ICS build from Samsung, prepare to be depressed. Their "official" LPQ ICS was beyond disappointing.

Check his twitter now!
This would sort of come off the back of the info that was given to android police with at&t giving out a list of devices getting ics and the skyrocket was about 3rd last from that list. So not saying it will be 3rd last to be given the update but it was there so this could ultimately be legit..
Ergh, the RootzWiki tweet's link ain't working!

Agree, but do you think they're talking Jellybean by this Thanksgiving or next? Seems like an awful ambitious schedule for this one when most of us are still trying to get official ICS?

Why jump straight to 5.0? Why not develop what they have a bit more and go for Jelly Bean 4.1?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
That's untrue, they are extremely welcoming but the Samsung threads are usually maintained in proper order. Mods move posts where they need to be and people assist you with issues. The EVO forums where always a disaster and a free for all. They merely suggested the proper way to contact the developer instead of creating a useless thread. Also new feature if you place an @ before the name of the user you are trying to get their attention XDA would have emailed him notifying him that you mentioned him in a post. Just some more friendly advice.
