[Q] Android 2.3

Is it possible to make a custom rom with android 2.3 for samsung epic?

Not till the source comes out even then we won't see one for a while

Hey there styles420, it's already been done. I'm running gingerbread on my HTC Hero currently, so if you did some research before replying, you would know that the question was valid.

Thus, further proving my point that the OPs question was valid. ROMs are coming out daily and managing to get 2.3 running on a Hero (quite possibly the least suitable phone for 2.3 in regards to hardware) furthers the validity of the OPs question.

what is wrong with people being greddy with updates?when we were on 2.1 ppl gt angry and want 2.2 even if our phones wasbetter than everything else on 2.2 wen were on 2.1..now we are tasting 2.2 everyone wants 2.3?wtf is wrong with u guys?

My expectations are high for having 2.3 on Epic sooner than later, given the similarities innhardware with Nexus S. I know there is more to it than just copying it over from another device, but I would hope It would be faster than the time it took for us to get Froyo.
Seeing the Hero run it is just amazing. I mean, I would expect Evo up there as one of the first, but not Hero.
Keep supporting and encouraging our devs and soon we will see it!

You would be amazed at how fast this runs on a hero, the queen of lagging. You all are in for a treat when it does get ported or released.

Your kidding right! You crack me up. Just cause it boots up on a hero it is far from fully functioning and they even said without source many things won't even work. It is very unstable. I got an idea, why don't you start porting it over since you have high expectations. I'll be here waiting for your beta! What a waste of time :~) You need at least Gingerbread OTA or source in order to get that Hero fully functioning!

So if it has the looks but none of the funtionality, isnt a Gingerbread theme for the Hero then? If so, then we already have Gingerbread!

Never once did I say that I was running a fully functional version of 2.3 on my Hero, but back to the OPs remark.
"Is it possible to make a custom rom with android 2.3 for samsung epic?"
I do have a custom rom with android 2.3 running on my hero. So, yes, it is very possible. Now will the devs working on the Epic do this? Maybe not.
I would be willing to bet that I run a 2.3 ROM way before any of you will thanks to the kind devs working with the Hero.
With that being said, I apologize for stumbling on the Epic forum while trying to help a friend root his device. You may go on with your life bashing those who ask repeat questions. I would like to take this time to thank the majority of you for convincing me not to use my upgrade on the Epic if not only for the sole reason of lack of support. I will happily wait for a dual core A9 powered device to come out and stick to my dysfunctional Hero!

though I can certainly see what you're saying about this post being pretty 'elementary' - i think it's a bit harsh to call someone an idiot and blast his question in a Q&A forum ... we're all at different levels here on our knowledge and understanding of the OS and hardware ... c'mon, let's help each other out ..

And let's start by not posting the same thing over and over again. This was asked at least twice in the last 3 days.

This. I'm in 3 different forums here, don't want to think about the number of thread asking for gingerbread, froyo, cupcake, etc. It's inevitable, but just have to wait for it to be ready.
@ckisgen, I take your point, I did kind of jump on the guy, but a quick search would have shown this exact same thread a few times. It's ok to ask questions, but at least try and find the answer yourself first.

That's pretty frustrating. If not for the great progress the CM team has been making, I would be considering a different phone at the moment.

Maybe next year in 1st or 2nd quarter, if Sprint has nothing better to do. Do yourself a favor and get the DK28 leak.

its coming
I have confirmed with my sources, we were all part of an expirement by samsung and sprint to prove that they could put out a total **** product like the moment...... and then still promise the moon aka the epic 4g and we would all go and buy it and hope we wouldn't complain about not having froyo simply because we are not getting data lockups. So there you have it, 2.1 no data lockups if you want 2.2 buy there next phone it will come out stock with it but by then there will be android 3.2

Lol, sprint held off n releasing froyo because they saw then noobnl and the rest of cyanogen epic team is making progress. And they are testing it to steal some ideas and put a sprint branding on it. hahaha

Really? You think people have been patient? I've seen nothing but constant whining (in the dev forum, no less) since I first started lurking here back when the phone was first released.
It will be released when its released. This isn't a great place for complaints- nobody who cares or who could even enact a change will read it. This constant whining does nothing but drive people away who might be interested in developing or push down the posts of the fractional population that actually has something to contribute.
Take it somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Thanks for that troll... the epic is supposed to be epic, now its worse than the moment... Thats just horrible business. And i guarantee, If I had the source for the OS and Drivers and was being paid to do it, I could have a stable release of GINGERBREAD in 4 months time... and thats me programing alone.

I agree that this is not a great place to complain about ROM versions, but for whatever reason the dev section is 90% ROM related (there should be a ROM subsection). But...this phone should have been released with froyo. I was running froyo on my Vogue/Sprint touch for months before I bought this phone. Hopefully Samsung will catch us up soon.

Who cares? You're not running the ****ty software like the EVO, and 2.3 isn't going to be any different (for the most part). If you want to complain, go to a sprint store near you and ***** to them. Nobody is going to want to develop anything if people don't stop complaining. All of the resources are in these forums to make your phone look just like "2.3".

Ok, I guess that attacking one each other is not solution. We are here to share knowledge and our flash addiction. There´s no need to answer like that. You are senior member and you know the rules. You could have done it a bit different. ICS Camera issue have been debated many times. ICS AOSP roms have working cameras but not video recording...that is stated in the corresponding threads. The solution should be able as soon as HTC releases the 3.0 Kernel or the first ICS Sense update is rolled out. That is also in the forums, there´s also a specific thread for it. So, don´t get that angry and show that u are different in your manners if you feel offended by someone...if not you just show that are the same....

It is on the main forum that says android 4.0 coming July- August, It is beyond annoying when this is all you see when CLEARLY in all sense 4.0 threads are saying they are waiting for kernel 3.0
I feel bad for the devs they must facepalm at all these people who can't read/search

hardly what i would call posting "regularly", especially since he explicitly says it's his last post ever on xda unless some site administrators explain their response.
i don't really have a dog in that fight. i just liked the way reloaded runs on my phone and appreciate jamie's dedication in making that happen. if more ROMs come, i'll flash them. if i have to find them on twitter, i'll find them. for now i wish him well, even if i expect he isn't going away for long.

XDA does seem to over-react sometimes,but you need to figure that we have alot of easily influenzed minds here in XDA(kids)we're their piers and XDA is just trying to hold some order in here,it keeps people from *****in and complaining soo much,noone wants to come to a forum where all there is,is flamming and griping about this and that,yea some or most bans,could have been handled different,but we dont own this forum,we just reside here temporarily,you should know this,Hip.

It looks more like the decision was Jamie's to leave XDA, not the mods. It has happened several times before where the Dev's asked the Mods to close their threads because of the drama that goes on in them. If he were banned, his account would be frozen and his threads would all be closed.

Thank you kendall. I think jrollercoasters started this for everyone to say positive things about Jamie's contributions to us and our device, not speculate on what happened. Let's all just give him thanks we think he may deserve as I believe that is what this thread was intended for.
If you want to know what happened, ask the man.
@jrollercoasters: if I am off base about this then please correct me and I'll back off.
