Develop Bugs

How long until a stable ICS ROM ?

I currently have the Nexus-S 4G, running Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 and LOVE this ROM. but want a bigger screen phone, so looking at the Epic Touch 4G. I tried the ICS ROM for my Nexus-S that just released this weekend, and I liked it alot, so it got me wondering, before I get the Epic 4G, will wait for a god ICS ROM.
How long until a stable version is out roughly ? I don't mean 100% rock solid perfect like the official Galaxy-Nexus, but something good enough to be used as a daily. December or so ?

It's anybodys guess.. We are all wondering the same thing but obviously no one knows.. Even the developers that are working on a port don't know. There is no use asking.. people are working on this as a hobby and Samsung doesn't even have a firm date on an ETA. Your best bet is to keep tabs on ICS progress in our development section..

One thing.if phone has good hardware,it will run ics.even htc hero,wich is a low-end device runs it already.so for your phone,its just a matter of time.and one more thing,dont ever ask devs for ETA's.they are not full time developers,this is mor like a hobby for them

forget asking when an ICS rom will be available, I'm more concerned with finding out when the MR from Sprint is coming.

The source that Google releases is always for the current dev phone, in this case the galaxy nexus. Our phone has completely different hardware. Porting ics to the epic touch from scratch is a full time job that carries a salary of 50,000-100,000, I wouldn't hold your breath for someone to do it for free. So in other words, whenever Sprint/Samsung releases/leaks something for the epic touch

i already have CM9 installed on my old I9000
is fun to play around with, but not ready for prime time, because a lot of the Android Market apps that i use on a daily basis are not compatible yet with ICS
so it's going to be a long painful wait before being able to enjoy ICS fully, even if it becomes available for our T989

i agree. prolly best to just get a new ICS device if you want that. but.. it's still good to see the evolution of software.

eehhhhhh... what does that has to do with getting a new hardware?
the current hardware are perfectly fine, just the programmers needs to get their things together and make sure their software are ICS compatible

There's quite a few devices with cm9 alphas already. We wont be waiting to long to see it on our phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Even the g2x has a alpha version of cm9 working since Thanksgiving night so I'm sure this phone will have it soon. Also this is my first Samsung smartphone I am hoping Samsung does a little better than LG when it comes to updates and support for their phone. The g2x was a nightmare thank God I had one of the few g2x's that did not have all the bugs.

I thought it was common knowledge that CM9 was being developed. No?

This thread is a fail. What does Nexus S development have anything to do with the GS2 ICS rom? They are entirely different chipsets.

Thanks. Added to my feed for updates.

It would be cool if/when it becomes possible for our phones to multi-boot or at least a savvy developer creates a VMWare-esque app or any other way for any other way for us to use multiple ROMs simultaneously without the need to backup, wipe, flash, repeat for each different ROM we wanna try. For example, this would be useful for us to try out a ROM that's not daily driver-ready without wiping our daily driver. Just a thought...

Some good easy roms.

So I have on order from tmobile 2 of these phones for my parents, they wanted to upgrade and learn how to use them. But coming from well... I nokia bar phone, and a old samsung slide phone, this change might be a little big. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good stable roms that are easy to use, have somewhat decent battery life. Or even if should I just stick with the stock one? Thank you guys. -CptSamir

I just released a ROM earlier today.
_Thursday

Personally I would let them knock around the stock rom for a little while until they get used to android and then try a custom ROM later.

Since they're for your parents, I would leave them as is, stock. Chances are, they're never going to understand or utilize the phone's full potential. Unless you plan on always being available to immediately troubleshoot any and all errors/issues that might/will pop up with a custom ROM, stock is the way to go. Even stock blows away other phones available.

If this is there 1st foray into Android, leave it stock. The worst thing you can do is have a custom ROM on it, then have it do some weird stuff, and they are up a creek when they go to the store to have them fix it.
If they want to mod the phone and mess with it, let them make the choice and let them learn to do it.

You could at least root and debloat the phones.

I wouldn't do anything to them, this phone is good stock. The last thing you need is them accidentally going to recovery and messing with something they shouldn't.
That's the best thing to do IMO.

Ya, trust me. I know my parents. My dad cannot turn on a computer, my mom pulls me every 2 min to help here "troubleshoot" a problem she is having, like finding the next button, or save, or...well. anything. Thank you for all the replies. I will stick with the stock rom for now and see how they like it. Hopefully (wish me luck) they will go from using the phone to just make calls, and use the phone to help their lives.

Pretty much it depends on your parents understanding of Technology my mother I got her into android I gave her my old Vibrant custom rom and all and from time to time i would update it to something newer and she would get how to use it pretty quick sure she has had some issues but if your knowledgeable enough you can help em in those snags as for ROMs i would suggest Bombaridier personally my favorite

I would just stick with the stock one personally. And this is coming from someone who in the past ALWAYS flashed a custom rom on other phones.

I'd flash a custom kernel, like darkside, because it make the phone much smoother
Sent From The Best Phone of 2011

I vote for stock as well. I am still on stock (rooted and bloat-frozen) and it works well for me. If we had MIUI, then I would recommend that because your parents could easily cusome the look of their phones to their hearts' content without alot of knowledge and without great risk.

Yeah stick with stock, they wont notice the difference anyhow. Its not like they're gonna go overclocking/undervolting the cpu, theming or all that good stuff. My guess its they just want it for what it is, a phone

[Q] Galaxy s II or not?

Hello All,
I’m seriously thinking of selling this phone and going to an HTC Sensation. My main reason is ROM support. We really have a few ROMs and all are really the same Stock with modifications and different themes and colors.
However with the HTC sensation, there is Ice cream, MIUI, ice-cream sense, etc. basically many more options.
I was so pumped to get this phone at the time I sold my HTC sensation but I find myself checking the Development threads ever hour, daily for a miracle. I don’t think Santa is coming.
I know I’m going to hear it but give it to me everyone, Should I sale or wait? I’m on the ropes.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes I have the Sensation, well the XE, and I would have this phone over the GSII anyday. The specs of these phones are similar, but the sensation has more in resolution. Also I use ICS as the only rom. I might try Sense 3.6. Also the Sensation may get a port of HTC sense 4.0. So get the Sensation

Hm. Let me see this. But we have other good devs. Either way we will still get a AOSP ICS ROM with maybe CM features, or others that can conpensate for it. And Sense is pretty!!! I would stick with HTC. And from a non developers POV (lulz) The HTC has nice Build Quality.

I asked the same question when I first got this phone, but I realized the limited roms we do have does our phone justice, although I do wish we have the i9100 dev support, anyway this phone over any HTC phone, besides the one series

Stay with it. It'll have great ROM support soon. The reason we have little ROMs is because people are getting bored of Gingerbread, and are waiting for ICS to be released. Then there will be tons of ROMs! Great for flashaholics like me

on the plus side of it the rom just needs to be compatible with our phones SoC instead creating from the ground up, that and ass bloatware of course. Maybe sooner then later.

Because cyan might have a great build but with JB 100% done he won't have to use hacked features just the kernel will be hacked.

I imagine alot of ppl will be underwhelmed when we do get JB. There's not going to be much visually different, and project butter pushing things to 60fps throughout the ui will help, but this is already a pretty smooth phone. I was seeing some lag issues, but I reflashed my current rom & everything is back to silky smooth. Don't get me wrong, JB is a welcome addition to an already amazing device, but it's not going to be like the jump from gingerbread to ics, so I can be patient. Also, as a couple others have stated, I'm loving TW over AOSP now. I never thought I'd say it, but TW is full of incredible additions to Android that I don't want to lose. I love the beauty of stock Android, but it's a fair trade for all of the functionality.
