Epic 4G touch got it, I hope we are next. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So there is a legit ICS leak for the Sprint Epic 4g touch. I hope that we get one for our phone soon.

Last time I heard that there was a ICS leak for T989 but some devs were holding the leak to themselves.

Don't get too excited yet.. we still need someone to develop an aosp kernel for our phone. We dont even have one for gb yet so i think it will be a while. I'm syncing the code now. If I knew how to convert a kernel I would. Lol

Saw this as well. I hope we can get someone to get us an AOSP Kernel. Without it it this doesn't help us.
Yeah, it will probably be a while before we see a beta or alpha rom. It will probably be January or longer before a stable ROM is available.
Better luck on the Nexus S 4G though, or maybe even the Evo phones since they have worker CM and AOSP kernals.
bubby says he has an aosp kernel, but he also said his laptop died
Clearr shock that baby to life!

Ohh maybe I'll build it for my nexus s 4g
Does anyone know what converting a kernel to aosp entails? I'll give it a shot for sure. I'm guessing the first step is to unpack our boot.img but I don't know what else has to be done. I wish there was a guide somewhere that tells you how to get your kernel working with aosp

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.

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

I guess you did not get the direction of the thread...LOL Nobody wanted to hear the truth and if they did there are at least 50 threads they could check but thx for that great rightup.... j/k keep up the good work
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!

ICS Release Date?

Nope... No one knows officially... :/

No not really. Plenty of thread already discussing this.
well i know that the ICS is coming out for t mobile soon so i was thinking maybe it is coming out for sprint as well maybe
No official date yet, leaks are getting closer to being ready though. A few apparently were packaged for OTA testing, just to give a better idea on where it stands.

Every leak has had a corresponding ota file for testing, it's just that we never got any of the others.

Came from evo 3d

sup peeps to make a long story short my 3d thought it could walk on water like Jesus did and come to find out it was a fail fml ........so sprint sent me a epic touch. Im knew to the whole Samsung galaxy s thing but I'm pretty sure I will get the hang of it specially with the Odin thing but my question is what's a good stable ROM with no bugs decent battery life and no lag? I wanna start this experience off right!!

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].
Working for sprint doesn't mean you know shiz, people brick only if they don't follow directions

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.
Alright fellas come on now this how you show a new guy what the epic touch family is about lol naw but seriously I understand where you both are coming from and I've seen product around here a lot so I know he wouldn't steer me wrong but I see where yall coming from and thanks

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.

Also to the OP, try out Blu Kuban if you're still looking for a good ROM.
