Gingerbread 2.3.7 ????

What about this new android version? Are we able to install it? Is it compatible with our phone? Or at least it worth it to install it ?

Compatible for sure, but as far as I know just a couple of bugfixes. So wouldn't be something you would "see".
The major changes would be if we would get it with CM7 or CM9.

Sure! But with that we will be having the ICS or?

There is no CM7 out, is there? I mean a stable usable version.
So whatever comes first and is stable, go for it ;-)

There is no CM avaiable for our phone... yet. They will both come though.
KezraPlanes is working on CM7, while arco68 already has a bootable CM9.
It's just a matter of time

And what about samsung??? Do they will release ICS on our SGW? I heard some news that only on the S2, tablets and some other one... But not on ours... I'm impressed on how underated is this phone, even though it can be compared with a Galaxy S or even others which qualify for an ICS...

I don't think it will ever be updated officially.
Samsung has a... "weird"... marketing policy that says our money is worth less than the money other people spend to buy top class phones.

Agreed.....but who cares what Samsung does......
There will be CM7......and ICS......in good time.......and no thanks to Samsung.......
It will be the Community which does it!!!
And it will be better without Samsung TW stuff, etc
robbing huge resources to no great effect.....
Just like my last phone, ZTE Blade..
Orange never released even Froyo 2.2......
But the community produced numerous fantastic GB ROM's, and there is also Cyanogen officially supported......
all this and more will come.....it is just a matter of time.

u will get an ICS update soon...but maybe when Google hve release a update 8.0..
Don't ask with our device's father...Sammy's just abandoned his son from early birth...
We do have a stepfather who care much about us..its XDA..!!so,stay tuned..!

Exactly now we have :
1. GingerBread 2.3.6
2. ASAP...IceCream 4.0.1
3. GingerBread 2.3.7 on CM7..WIP
If anyone can develop on Froyo then the development is complete...they are still people out there crazy over Froyo

You just have to let it go with Samsung and their crappy marketing policies.
The shelf-life for our phone was decided to be very short.
Imagine: a mid-range phone with the latest iteration of Android. The sales of top-end phones will decrease dramatically.
That's why HTC, which is far more lungimirant about that, presented at the MWC the One V, same RAM but less clock on the processor, and guess what, with ICS.
God I hate you Samsung.

HTC Sense on Galaxy Nexus

I found that in the Nexus S forum that there is a HTC Sense ROM version launched as a beta. I would love to see it running on our GNex since the hardware is simular it should be possible.
The problem with Sense was that the battery drain was huge. But since GNex and HD2 devs managed to solve this in better kernels it should be possible to make it run like a charm on our GNex
I came from HTC HD2 and we had so much different ROM to flash like: WP7, all andriod version, windows 95, ubuntu, meego and much more... I kinda mis that on the GNex. A lot of HD2 devs are working on GNex so I hope that we have those possibilities also in the near future.

I had a nexus s from what it looked like sense was hard as hell to get running.

I don't think that will be happening. HTC doesn't use PowerVR or TI OMAP so proprietary stuff like that would be a ***** and it might not be worth the trouble. Also...you bought a nexus phone for the stock Android experience and latest and greatest...WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KILL IT WITH FIRE?

Kinda beats the idea of having a Nexus if you ask me.

I really don't understand people on here!! If you want Sense, buy a HTC phone!!! People buy nexus's because they cant stand the skinning of manufacturers, and now people are asking for touchwiz and sense ports, which just slow the phone down! WWWHHHYYYY?!?!?!

people also buy the Gnex becuase of its developer support. Most people here love flashing stuff and though I love stock ICS I would love to try out the latest touchwiz or sense as well

One, i didnt bought the phone for plain ics experience but due to the hardware specs.
Two, I hope that the device will get more options in flashing ROMs. Not cuz i like Sense roms but just cuz its possible. And i'm more into plain ics dont get me wrong, also my HD2 had plain ICS without Sense cuz it runs better.
Thirth, I hope that ppl will see smartphones as "normal" computers and see the possibilities of running and developing other OS then Andriod. A lot of people are so short sighted and focus only on the Andriod experience. But there is more capable with the device .. so much more.
Take Ubuntu for example, most of our kernels are based on the ubuntu kernel. Its possible to run plain Ubuntu. The experience would be like a laptop. You can connect it to a screen and add a mouse. Ofcourse you could make a dual boot with the choice of ics and the other system with Haret. Running ICS as native OS and booting Ubuntu from internal storage with Haret.
Dont get me wrong I love the phone as it is and I love the way ICS works and would use it always as daily use. But from developing perspective there are so much more possibilities wich also can give the GNex a lot bigger status as best phone =)

Btw the only thing not working correct one the Nexus S Sense ROM is wifi and its driver related. Ppl like Cotulla or TyTung have made a custom driver (wifi, gpsa, camera and lots more) so its not impossible .
I truely loved to see how ppl managed to make a custom driver for a camera and how it worked code wise since the standard device drivers are closed source. In my opinion those ppl are truely DEVs like the kernel builders. Crappy apps or game programmers arent true DEVs in my opinion .. i'm a app/game/web programmer my self and dont consider my self to be a true mobile DEV.

Bingo! 10 char

Brilliant. There are so many different launchers and really nice widgets on the Market. I just don't understand why somebody would like to kill his phone with Sense or Touchwiz. Latest Sense even looks like Launcher Pro. We do have the after Sense isn't it?

Sense isn't impossible as long as you port Sense, and not the whole damn rom. Biggest issue we saw when we tried a while back was gralloc. That may be less an issue now that there are ICS versions of Sense out there now.

I just read Team BAMF have something in the works as far as sense on the gnex.....

Well,
Being the date on that is in December ...
The poster was incorrect as we made no such announcement. We do have 'sick' stuff in the works, but its not Sense. Our Sense expert gave it a shot and without having ICS HTC kernel source, its unlikely to work any time soon.

I don't know exactly. Erishasnobattery is the one who attempted it. I believe there were gralloc issues. Back then, we had no ICS Sense to work with though, so I don't know, it may be entirely possible now.

Hey...We should get this going!

Really unnecessary bump.
Either way, it's all about choice, people buy this phone for superior development, so people just like options.

I totally agree that Froyo was the worst, it's so slow and ugly :silly: Gingerbread was a huge improvement and Ice Cream Sandwich is an even bigger improvement, but at the moment not all the power of it can be harnessed by our DEFY, so I'd say that Gingerbread is the best. But Motorola is to blame for that, cause with those proper custom kernels, ICS would be flying So, if no way for custom kernels to run arises, I'm guessing that troubles with missing libraries will be even bigger with Jelly Bean, so we might just not even see a CM based on JB for DEFY

Found the Jellybean wallpapers and the new bootanimation over at Android authority!
>>>>>Android Jelly Bean Goodies<<<<<

Has anyone tried the new Jelly Bean VoiceSearch/GoogleQuickSearchBox on our ICS builds yet? I've been searching all over, no-one has yet to post it. You guys had any luck?

I've just tried Jelly Bean on Galaxy Nexus, it's way more faster than ICS because it has this Project Butter (newer hwa) which makes UI constant on 60FPS, so no more UI lags!
Jelly Bean is based on ICS so there won't be so much trouble about porting it because we already have ICS

I think the main question would be whether Project Butter will run with our Froyo/GB Kernel we have to stick with?!

This is one of Epsylon3's posts on Google+. He's just awesome!

Thats great !!

He can takes his time, we will apreciate it very much anyway.

defy developers are really making effort.
I didn't see that on any other device forums

The efforts have been fruitful since the long study made by our developers . They made it easy . since once you get to know how things work . and how the ideas are and what kernel functions and codes u shd be actually knowing . It becomes lots easy for implementation

it will awesome for all of us , if it happened some how , our developers are best of all others ,
we were just given eclair , we had froyo(modded roms) , GB roms ( best and great performance ) , and we had ICS all good , except some issues due to locked bootloaders, otherwise we at this time could had best ICS rom Available ....... developers are trying their best working day & night for us ,
I am sure that we all will have jelly bean ,( not fully functional though ), but our great developers will make it happen for us all .......
once this Bootloader thing gets solved some how , can't say how ,
we gonna have rocking roms with overall best performance than all the device present in this xda forum ...... and i can bet on this ......

I'm not agree with you.
First, there is not a finished and stable CM rom and is not so good start with new projects at this point.
Why?
Because gingerbred on galaxy w is simply perfect and there is no reason or features in CM9 or in CM10 that justify porting and waste of resources and time.
I hope that someone will finish CM7 job.

Well your welcome to disagree, i'm not forcing my opinion on you or anyone just stating what I think.
There is no finished CM ROM but stable I honestly think the latest CM9 build is stable for daily use and not so good, lol CM9 runs graphic heavy games a whole lot better than GB even when its OC.
Oh yes GB is much much smoother and better than ICS and JB, sigh. There are already good GB ROMs for the SGW so is it such a big deal that someone wants to drop making CM7 and start doing the newest CM10 for our phone its their choice and if I had skills I rather take my shot and making CM9 and CM10 for our phone better rather than stick with ye old CM7.

Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

Actually, I'm supporting the development of CM9 and CM10 because 'in case of' the ROM becomes standard, I don't have to learn it.
Take an example of the ye old Win XP
Nowadays, Windows 7 has become the new standard of the computing world (of Windows, obviously).
Yes, you can still make Windows XP compatible program (with more cost and testing) , but can you assure that your program (which is made in .. say Win 7 with .NET Framework 3.5 / 4) could run w/o prob in Windows XP while your program works seamlessly in Win 7?
My point here is that we have to take measure on which ROM has brighter future? Will GB be updated again, with more fantastic feature, or will ICS and JB got them?

The problem is that there will be a hell lot of bugs, maybe even a brick... So when I try a new ROM, best I wait till it has only a few bugs that can be replaced with 3rd party apps (eg. Fm radio)
What do you think?

hope you will success ～

Its the right decision, in my opinion - working on a Gingerbread-ROM does not make any sense at the moment - From features to smoothness, ICS is by far the better choice. Although RAM is a bottleneck for some purposes on the Galaxy W, the device as a whole has enough power to profit from the enhancements that came with ICS and JB.

@bangprovn, would you please release your CM7 source code/repo over github or other repos hosting share with maybe some note howto compile it, I have try it but no luck, stuck on brunch ancora command.
It says there is no ancora device code or sumtim like that
On ur cm7 threat osiris had some patch 4 wifi driver, but I'm sure there are some config on device.mk should be aligned correctly, and I think I could learn easily read ur porting process than I have to start from zero, with your mentoring maybe.
Sorry for my bad english

This will be a powerhouse and fast development in CM10 for our phone. A period of 3-4 months, we have a stable CM ROM.

Jelly Bean, does it even benefit the Ace 2?

I don't know, ever since I updated to the leaked 4.1, my phone just hasn't felt the same. It locks up 24/7, especially with the YouTube app. When I completely wiped my phone to put on the official firmware when it was released, it was even worse! Now I'm on the amazing Sakura Droid CM 10, which is awesome, cus I have unlimited 3G internet anyway. Ever since I switched to that, NONE of the problems I had existed.
My question is, is Jelly Bean for the Ace 2 poorly optimized? My phone ran MUCH better on 2.3.6.
I'd like to add that on my S2, it is also the same, though not as much. (Faster boot, fixes lockups faster).
I'm guessing it isn't optimized for the ARM processors.

you mean ST-Erricson processor? since most android phone out there use ARM processor

Jesus... where do you guys get your information?
ST-Ericsson, Qualcomm etc., they all utilize the general architecture of RISC(Reduced instruction set computing) managed, developed and promoted by ARM Holdings.
Thus, any processor that respects their core design is an ARM processor. Just different brands implementing the same general architecture.
And if the thread starter used any of the leaked beta roms, it's no wonder his phone works poorly.
