Ics for epic touch

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??

Yes it means you will have to root 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

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

My epic touch is arriving tomorrow

Thanks for all the input last week guys. My new phone will be arriving tomorrow night! I plan on rooting immediately, what method is the best? Automated? Have there been any Samsung updates that break this method?
As far as modems goes, which one should I flash for the least amount of LoS issues? I've been hearing about two lately.
I plan on flashing cm7, dual booting if that is ready yet (I need gps sometimes). I understand there is a lot if drama recently but I just love cm and hope that he's got dual booting finished.
Lastly, what are these Odin counts that I have read about? Do they keep track of flashes for screwing you out of your warranty should something go wrong? Is there a way to reverse this?
What other roms would you recommend? I understand ics is a ways out.... That will be disappointing because I am rocking a very solid build on my Evo Shift....
I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
Thanks again

Use sfhub's autoroot for quick and easy rooting. The EK02 OTA update and the EL13 leak have both helped people a lot with LOS issue. Many/most of the custom ROMs are now based off of EL13. All of the custom ROMs are pretty much fine tuned now with most of the good mods. The only thing you may need to add is 4g Hotspots hack

^ sfhub's method.

I wouldn't worry about cm too much. Rumor has it that darchstar is working on cm9 official for us. I owe him a lot got his hero work which got us cm on the Eris.

Oh wow that is good to hear! I used his hero rom back in the day... Also believe he was the first to get Gingerbread running. Had that running for a couple weeks until I "upgraded" to my Shift and was stuck with freakin sense and no permanent root for a few months...
Now that I have ics on my Shift I'll be temporarily stuck on gingerbread... This is truly great news! Darchstar is the man!

Try it stock for a few days just so you can get a feel for it.
This way if you Root it and something doesnt work you will at least know it worked on Stock.
GPS, WiFi, Los are examples.
I am on a stock ROM and my device is working great. No issues.

I got mine a few days before Christmas, and I am loving it. I am coming from the original HTC Evo 4G that I had since it came out. I ran CM on that for nearly the entire time I had that, so I was a little sad to see the E4GT did not have CM support. That being said, I am actually glad it did not have CM support because I have had to learn more about other ROMs, kernels, etc than I had to with CM.
I rooted right out of the box using the auto root method (stickied in the development thread).
I flashed the EL13 modem next and have had no issues.
I am now running Strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM with the Rogue Desperado kernel v1.3.0.
I would post links, but I am not allowed to yet since my post count is so low.
To me, the phone is a lot snappier than my Evo 4G, and I have been generally pleased with it so far.

Awesome thanks for the info. I plan to run stock for a few days... It should be arriving over the next couple of hours. None of the Samsung updates break root right? I want to update it asap but don't want to lose access to root

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?

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone maybe knew when the Official ICS For the epic touch 4g was?

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.

Has sprint or Samsung Announced a fix?

The title sys it. I was curious if they had said anything in regards of a patch or fix for the Ics ota update. I went stock ota for a few days and went to sprint to see what they would say. The tech handed me the phone back and said root it.

not entirely sure what is wrong with the new OTA but I have also have problems with the new update and when I took it to sprint, the tech said the same thing "you should root it". I told them I should but it's not my fault of hardware or software issues and after some talk (I know the guys at the store), they helped me get a replacement. Hopefully the replacement doesn't have any problems too.

I haven't heard of any of the other SGSII phones having issues.. Only sprint.... Seriously, I hope they are working on fixing everything and releasing a jeallybean update.. Cuase for them to push out a buggy 2 month old FF18 as the final product is pretty sad.

The story is coming from Samsung directly. You think sprint is going quick to get jb out to us when we were the last to get ics? I'll be very surprised if they update us at all.
Sent from behind you.

a fix for what? If you don't like the ota run one of the fine, bug free ff18 based roms like blue kuban or goodness. Try cm9 or aokp you don't like those. The only reason you have a "buggy" ics build is because you choose to. That said we didn't see all of these complaints when people were running the ff18 leak, the only thing that has changed is the people running it... furthermore why are you posting on xda asking for a patch? Go to sprint users or sprint forums if that's all you're concerned with and want to complain, they'll listen to you there, I thought this was the place where we solved our own problems... not that I think there's anything wrong with ff18.... now flame away instead of spending the time to search and figure out why you're having the issues you're having when plenty of people are running ff18/ff18 based builds without difficulty or issue

I've ran all ics ROMs my phone just don't get the bandwidth with any of the modems released. I went to ota so I could see if they had an answer for why I got **** download and upload speeds. I can't go in there rocking rujs blu Kuban saying hey my phone won't get a signal anywhere here's my phone and fix it. I miss the roms but I can't get any signal I tried different kernels modems scripts and even garbage off of the app market to improve my signal. Sprint is well aware of it. I posted on xda because people seen to get answers and everything else before people find out. Im not asking a question for devs to fix it im asking the community in the xda q&a section. And it's for our phone correct? So that's why im in the xda forum asking the question.
