Hi guys! I am not only posting in this forum, I posted the same thing on some other forums too.
THIS MEANS A LOT TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKE ICS & MIUIv4!
As long as you have a phone with a ARMV6 CPU, please, have a heart, and sign this Groubal now!
This Groubal focus on requesting Qualcomm to release the Ice Cream Sandwich drivers compiled for ARMv6 phones. If the Groubal is signed by large number of people, a complaint would be brought DIRECTLY to the company of Qualcomm.
If you signed this, you already made a difference in the develper world. Let's show Qualcomm what we want!!
SIGN NOW!!
THANKS A ZILLION!!

After days of struggle, Qualcomm has finally released the drivers for ICS. Now, devs won't be struggling hard to port ICS on our own devices, especially Galaxy Y.
Petition + Original Thread
Drivers
Now, why won't we give our thanks to devs and people who tried and succeeded?
Wow,,,,ICS,,,,,
by the ur pic are cool....
The problem is Galaxy Y is not using adreno..
Its sounds cool
I think galaxy y used broadcom chipset not qualcomm

But maybe this will at least lessen the burden for devs to somehow port ICS, in the case of being an ARMv6 phone.
premo, what pic? My sig or avatar? Hihi.

I know that Qualcomm and Broadcom aren't exaclty related, as they even had a lawsuit. From what I heard, hardware is what is restricting GALAXY Y from having ICS. Maybe CM7 or CM9 might work.
Isnt this copy pasted from the newsfeeds on the main Xda website ?
i dont think so broadcomm and qualcomm are related !
FROM WIKIPEDIA -
"Qualcomm Litigation and Settlement
On April 26, 2009, Broadcom settled four years of legal battles over wireless and other patents with Qualcomm Inc., another fabless semiconductor company headquartered in San Diego, California, USA.[15]
The deal ended the patent litigation as well as complaints of anti-competitive behavior before trade commissions in the U.S., Europe and South Korea. As part of the settlement, Qualcomm is paying $891 million in cash to Broadcom through April 2013.
In June 2007, the U.S. International Trade Commission blocked the import of new cell phone models based on particular Qualcomm microchips. They found that these Qualcomm microchips infringe patents owned by Broadcom."
They are RIVALS ! !
The following letter was written by one of Hong Kong WP lovers. After posting for minutes. There're already 2000 votes. If you want Microsoft to Bring new features of WP8 that can be supported by WP7.5 hardware to WP7.8, please support our works! Join us! Speak Loudly to Microsoft!!
and here's the jointly letter (link re-newed) Please delete space!! :
http : //windowsphone.uservoice.co m/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/2945071-bring-new-features-of-wp8-that-can-be-supported-by
and Here's the letter(by Simon Luk @ WeLoveWP.HK Administrator) :
20th June, 2012 has been one of the darkest days in the history of Windows Phone.
On 20th June, 2012, Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8, the next generation Windows Phone platform. At the same time, Microsoft broke the bad news to existing Windows Phone users – WP8 will not be available for existing WP devices to upgrade. Instead, Microsoft showed their “commitment” to current WP users by delivering WP7.8, which is just basically WP7.5 with the whole new Start Screen of WP8.
Are current users satisfied? Furious WP users are shouting in the Internet. Microsoft, what do you think?
Microsoft, you might think that the existing WP user base is just so small, so you can dumb us anytime you think it’s appropriate. You might think making current WP users angry is no big deal because WP8 must make a huge success, attracting all the consumers to buy your devices. Please, Microsoft, stop and think. Who are the existing WP users? We, the current WP users, are your loyal customers and fans. What you are doing with WP7.8 - barely adding a new Start Screen – is just an insult to us.
Being WP fans, we know that WP8 needs a new kernel. We absolutely understand the fact that our existing devices cannot get WP8 due to huge work for kernel and drivers re-writing. On the new kernel for WP8, we, WP fans, are totally on your side. I am sure most of the existing users, who wish WP having a better future, can accept the fact that WP8 apps cannot be supported in WP7.8 due to kernel incompatibility issues. However, it does not mean that it justifies for WP7.8 just having the new Start Screen of WP8.
Although they are still not officially announced, many features of WP8, including IE10, Skydrive Integration, Xbox Music & Video, DataSmart, whole-new range of languages and IME supports, etc, have been revealed by different parties. Many existing WP users will love to have these new features on their WP7.8 devices. We believe that some of the above features do not require high grade hardware. Indeed, Microsoft, we can assure you that you will **** most if not all WP users off, if you deliberately leave these “upgradable” features off from our WP7.8 devices.
We are your loyal WP supporters. We were always happy to introduce our friends to buy WP7.5 devices. Provided that WP7.8 only brings the new Start Screen without other new features from WP8 which are supported by existing hardware, we just cannot help but tell our dear friends – Do not buy a WP. Word of mouth is of paramount importance in selling smartphones. Please do not embarrass us and yourself. Act quickly and give confidence to the existing WP users; and we will let the whole world know WP is always worth buying.
Microsoft, please bring new features of WP8 that are supported by existing WP7.5 hardware to WP7.8. Do not let your loyal WP fans down.

It's not the OP, you do know that?
Also, it would read a word starting with a "p" here.
Though I'm not a WP user, I fully support this cause and hope that you'll be able to make this work out!

Took 3 votes from somewhere else and gave it to this. Great idea!
Oh cry me a river! Microsoft hasn't released any details regarding what WP8 features are going to be on 7.8 and you're all going ape-****. Calm down and at least wait for an official statement from Microsoft. Threatening to tell others not to buy Windows Phones, seriously? Based on what? Internet chatter? That letter by Simon Luk looks like a letter to Paul McCartney begging him not to quit the Beatles. I think this community is better than that so please, practice some restraint.

This.
Pretty sure the admin from WeLoveWP.HK is correct in that 7.8 only gets new tile sizes. On the other hand, it is unlikely that this petition will convince Microsoft to add additional features for current generation phones.
I do hope somebody will come up with an acceptable solution. Microsoft is not in a good enough position to anger its userbase as it is not that big to begin with.
I provided my 3 votes, even though I switched to Android from WP7 a few months ago. I kinda guessed the new kernel meant that the current Mango phones weren't going to get upgraded.
Honestly, a whole OS upgrade isn't necessary for the phones, as long as some kind of incentive program could be available to encourage devs to attempt to make apps that weren't hardware-limited to run on both WP8 and WP7. Stuff like Instagram, Flipboard, simple games, etc.
Edit: Oh, and one thing that would've made me stick with WP7 longer would have been a simple Webkit-compatible browser. Half the mobile websites I visited wouldn't display properly because the browser didn't support Webkit. Extremely annoying.
We don't even know if the start screen is all that's in 7.8... We don't know all the features in Apollo, so how would we know all of them in 7.8? There's still a lot of time until the release.
I support !

...has any of you guys got any confirmed information about the final content of update WP7.8 and which devices are going to get it or not? No? Then don't you think that this kind of action is a bit premature and a bit stupid?

ManCityFC wrote a pretty good statement on the Exynos topic in the CM10 thread. Let's spread this around the Samsung Facebook pages until we get some sources! :good:
Originally posted by ManCityFC
On behalf of the ever-growing Android development community, could you please release full documentation for the Galaxy S3 Exynos chip and full source code for everything relating to it?
As you know, developers are the lifeblood of the Android ecosystem and are generally the people that are developing the most exciting and innovative applications for users. This is being put in jeopardy by Samsung's denial of this crucial information – and is now having a self-defeating effect and forcing these brilliant developers to lose faith in Android. This will ultimately see them developing for other platforms, or not at all. It is crucial that we help these developers understand the most contemporary phone architectures, so they can continue to develop great applications and firmwares for the wider community. I don’t need to tell you how the developer Steve Kondik has managed to develop the Android platform….as you hired him!!
Samsung has generally been at the forefront of mobile/cellular phone innovation and has usually allowed access to this type of non-sensitive information, so other co-innovators can continue to develop for the wider community. There appears to be an arrogance creeping in, and dare I say a slightly bullish attitude that Samsung is now bigger than the customers that are buying your products.
We know you understand the size of the Android community, in fact you also use this community yourself to unofficially beta test your own internal updates and firmware versions, so please, repay the community by releasing this none-sensitive information.
The Samsung Android community are a loyal group of people. They don’t want to move away to devices by Sony, or HTC, but their openness is forcing everybody to rethink their loyalties. Indeed we have already lost one great developer to the Sony community.
Also and finally, please bear in mind; as Samsung evangelists we push your products, we advise others, we really are major influencers. In this day and age, who doesn't ask a geek they know on Facebook for advice on their next technology purchase? At the moment, the answer is “buy Samsung – you won’t be sorry” when they are going to buy a new phone, TV, or any other device... let’s work together to keep it that way please?

I created a petition in change.org to do the max press possible to the brand. And the signs are for ALL the devices with Qualcomm processors.

Wow, someone woke up at Leeco ?
The website exist but all links are dead ?
They are getting ready for tomorrow's US launch... but there are no signs so far of sources for any LeTV x800
Maybe some rom the x900 can be matched to our phone?
They even removed the sources for those 3 smartphones :/
Right guys I think its time for a change of tactic. They have ignored the petition with 1200+ signatures, they ignore individual requests. So can i suggest anyone who is not happy logon to the lemall.us facebook page and leave a feedback review, it sits at present at a score of 3.8 from 238 reviews.
I am fairly sure should all x800 US owners who signed the petition leave feedback of 1 star and negative feedback this rating will go through the floor. Maybe they will then pay some attention as its 1 of their income streams.
Saddens me we need to do that but we have all bought a product in good faith and have been treated like a gangrenous foot!!!
