This may be a stupid question, but with the release of the source code for ICS, why do you think it would take so long for it to get it pushed to the E4GT?

Well its been almost 2 months since the phone came out and we haven't got any updates that would fix the Los, and I read somewhere that cm9 will be out in about 2 months (some developer tweet it) so hopefully by march or 4 months from now, I'm no expert but that sounds very reasonable. I also read that the release was for the nexus, And that they are going to release the code for more devices in the future.

I'm holding out hope for ics and cyanogen, it gets disheartening though, not hearing of any development progress other than basic mod roms

If you are asking about an "official" release from either Sprint or Samsung no one really knows what version we will get IF any for that matter right now. IIRC the original Epic 4g just had a "official" 2.3.7 rom leak out but its still a beta so we can only hope that in the end that's the build we will be getting from Sprint/Samsung.

Good news

ICS is close.

Don't get too excited, while our phones may have a Exynos CPU we also are the only ones with a CDMA and Wimax radio. That the biggest reason we don't have CM7 yet while all the other SGSII's do, at least in beta form. It may take some time to get the driver situation sorted so I wouldn't expect the E4GT to get ICS in beta form as soon as the others.

Doubt it bubby has a working AOSP kernel for MIUI 3g wifi and gps all work so far

Is it safe to say that we'll see an official ICS release from Samsung/Sprint before we see CM9 w/ 4G?

Kudos to Bubby on that but just cause he gets it doesnt mean it'll be supported by CM. If they try to merge it and it breaks the existing builds, thats a no go. Slayher worked forever on the tbolt and it never played nice, the build itself is awesome but it couldn't be synced to mainline properly...not even sure its supported yet (although i sold that a couple months ago).
Not trying to be a downer, just realistic.

Samsung made a comment last month regarding ICS on the Galaxy SII.
Official update from Samsung and carriers will be 2nd Qtr next year = April - June. Unfortunately this sounds about right. I recall the original EVO 4G didn't get official Gingerbread update until June, six months after it was out.
Plus Samsung said they want the Galaxy S3 out a little earlier, Spring next year. I bet we see Samsung's next gen Galaxy series release first before the SII gets official ICS update.
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6

I remember it took AT&T months to put out the gingerbread update for my infuse. The last leak from samsung was I believe 3 or 4 months before official rom came out and it was the exact same rom.

If you are on xda the leak is when the rom is released, who cares about official at&t release.
I had froyo and gingerbread on my captivate months before at&t got their act together.

I don't think AT&T would release that as they don't want to mess with iPhone 5 roll out and steal that thunder. However the smart thing is for Samsung to push the crap out of this and put pressure on all carriers to release JB before iPhone 5 comes out.

is it will be next year for AT&T SGS3 JB. Based on Cappy expreience. Then KrispyCream in 2014.

With an official or leaked release of 4.1 of s3, will that improve the "original dev" section with faster development since the developers will have access to drivers they didn't before?

I think the carriers will defintiely slow the process down. However, I really don't think it will take as long as it did going from GB to ICS for SGS2 variants. If you recall, some SGS2 Variants in US and Canada just got their ICS around the same time SGS3 was released (LOL). But the upgrade from ICS to Jellybean is fairly small and I know that Google and Samsung (as well as other manufacturers) are trying to make updates a ltitle more timely than they have been in the past. Whether or not this will hold true is yet to be seen. However, seeing that there is already a leak for i9300 so soon shows me that Samsung is making more of an effort. I don't recall the ICS leaks for my i9100 coming out this soon

I'd be surprised if AT&T even releases JB for the Galaxy S3. Doing that would only benefit the customer, and it is strictly against AT&T's policy to do anything that might benefit the end user.
I'd say there is a 90% chance we will all be stuck with ICS unless we root and flash our own JB custom ROM's. AT&T doesn't care if you use ICS. Hell, 98% of people with the Galaxy S3 in the United States don't even know what ICS and Jellybean are, and they couldn't care less as long as the phone functions.

You get an A+ for positivity, but unfortunately, you're giving the carriers too much credit, especially AT&T. In the end, Samsung pushing out updates in a timely manner is as useful as rubber lips on a woodpecker because the frigging carriers are guaranteed to slow sh*t down so they can bloat the software up to their liking.

Question for all you experienced custom ROM installers: is there a custom JB rom in the wild that has everything working? I've been thinking about JB since it came out, and now I am reading that it might be another few months before we have the official T-Mobile version. I am finally tempted to root and do a custom rom.
So, is there a fully working, stable Cyogen Mod 10 out there? I am not interested in nightly builds. I would just like the experience one gets from a Nexus phone that is running vanilla JB.
Thanks!!

I say T-Mobile because the article is specifically referencing them. I've gone through all of the recent roms created by great devs like DJIntrigue which seem to be quite ready for prime time so it doesn't make much sense that there needs to be more "months" for a final release. We're not talking usability here as I assume most of us root our devices but it would be great to have faster availability of the latest Android firmware in case we wanted to run that.

The problem is carriers want to add in their own apps and "test" the update for compatibility with their networks...not to mention the majority of users aren't text savvy (or rooted, for that matter) and the carrier doesn't want to be flooded with "I updated mai fone and it's no worky no mo'" calls....
We may want faster availability, the carriers want people to pay upgrade fees (and/or buy devices outright) and less headaches....

Dj's and Wild's jb roms are fairly heavily modified. The leaks they are based on are still buggy and horrible on battery life.
I for one would much rather wait a few more months and get a solid release.
Besides, I'm willing to bet that most who are getting impatient waiting for the official release will wind up going back to custom roms within a couple of days anyway.
Plus, with how good Frosty and XquiziT are, you could pretend its based of the official release and be just as happy! (If I wanted to blame anyone it'd be them for raising the bar and forcing Tmobile and Sammy back to development!)
I honestly don't get all the impatience. With how hyped some folks are getting over it I can only see them being disappointed! Then we get to read all about how lame Sammy and Tmobile are for not taking the time to make it better!

Who cares JB isnt a big update over ICS anyways. I have a i9300 and the official JB update is weak. if youve used Frosty Jb you wont see a big difference

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Three weeks ago and no leak?

No leaks anymore from samsung period! For any device.
It'd have to be leaked from tmobile for us to get it now.
That's how I understand it anyway. If you follow the build versions, there would've probably been about 9 other leaks by now, had they kept their systems up like they were.
(Last leak was LI8, new ota is LIJ) 9 builds in between. Also I'm guessing the jb update must not actually be ready. (Maybe they found something they didn't like)
They seem to be doing what I expected with having another official ICS update before JB.
I could be wrong of course. Time will tell.

So is T-Mobile late on a update?

I know you guys are saying that maybe T-Mobile is waiting for 4.2 update and not 4.1.2 reality is that we dont know. Well Sprint just released another 4.1.2 update with premium suits MD4 to be exact. When the S4 is recently out for Sprint they release this update. One thing I though that US variants will never see an official premium suit update. I though it was meant for quad-core or Exynos. Anyways I have noticed that T-Mobile been pushing updates for our S3 every 2 months. Last update was in January and now is May thats 4 months in compare to the past of 2 months.
I know this is another thread about that. But we may soon see another OTA or who knows we may have to wait more months. Anyways I attached a picture so you can see what im talking about.
Android version 4.0.4 T999UVLG1/T999UVLEM 6/21/12
Android version 4.0.4 T999UVLH2 8/16/12
Android version 4.0.4 T999UVLJ4 10/17/12
Android version 4.1.1 T999UVDLJA 11/14/12
Android version 4.1.1 T999UVDLJC 1/31/13

I doubt T-Mobile will waste an update to 4.1.2 - they will probably release 4.2.2

Do you think is a waste? I mean there is no difference in releasing 4.1.2 and then 4.2 later when is done.
They prolly already been testing the 4.1.2 since its been out for other phones way before. It doesnt hurt em to release it and then release 4.2 when its ready for them to test and approve it.

I highly doubt our S3's with ever see an official 4.2 update from T-Mobile.

You really think that Samsung won't push a 4.2 update? The S3 is their best competition to people flocking to the HTC One instead of the S4 - I bet it gets an update.
As for 4.1.2, I just don't see the point in releasing a 4.1.2 update but you're probably right, they'll drop 4.1.2 and keep us there until January.

Oh yes we will see 4.2!! Look at the S2 it got 4.1.2 and it was a gingerbread phone! the S2 is the only old phone that tmobile have that released 4.1.2. I remember back when the Amaze came out it was about the same time that the S2 did. The Amaze got ICS and that it. Loot at it this way. The HTC ONE S doesnt have JB yet and the S2 does. So yes that tells me that we will see a 4.2 update.

Not that it's not obvious but there's many roms with multiview and thew new gallery if you want it that bad lol. It would be nice to see it as an official update tho

I agree but that is not why im so interesting in it. My issue is that I cant see why tmobile would rather wait for 4.2 instead of 4.1.2. There shouldnt be a problem on releasing both. Since the 4.1.2 has been out for so long I bet ya samsung has probably gave to tmobile to test already. And then release 4.2.
When its ready. Sure wish my friend were still working with tmobile. He used to get this updates to test. I remember back with my G2X not after a month it was out my friend got one with GB to test. But in anyways im glad that samsung is keeping up with updates even to the old phones not like other phone companies like LG

Ill be fine if a dev is skillful enough to integrate multi-view and the note 2 gallery in a tmobile rom. I dont like running ports from another carrier, they are now 100% stable. This will make me come back for AOSP

T-mobile is not releasing 4.1.2 to us because they feel it is not really a major update (it eeally isn't, only with the premium suite). The carriers are charged for these updates, they don't come free. We would have got 4.1.2 along with the s2 if they were going to. Now 4.2 comes with major updates that no one can deny so they will release it because they know it will be an appriciated and much more noticeable update then 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

Yeah apparently all carriers have to pay for these updates. I believe is mostly for the bloatware and extra carrier modifications each carrier wants implemented into their version of the OS.
