I'm just letting my Samsung Vibrant brethren know that Gingerbread has been ported to the international Galaxy S, the GT-I9000 by supercurio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877800
That was fast.... now all we can do is beg and donate to your favorite dev and hopefully get a version of it running on the Vibrant!
(Note, it isn't fully functionaly yet, but this is exciting news I thought I'd share).
did you even look before posting this
its easy to port, but nothing works on the phone: wifi, bluetooth, gps, data, cell network, camera, and some buttons.....pretty much what ever needs a driver is not gonna work. i am not a dev, but they couldnt even get gps to work on early Galaxy S Froyo because needed driver for Vibrant.
but i wish that guy was on Vibrant dev team instead......
ps. RFS is no longer in use in port, thats very good news i guess

It appears CM6.1 RC1 is out. I don't know whether it's available for Galaxy S I9000 though. I am seeing reports that it's available on the Vibrant. Anyone else know of this?
hmm... nice
looking forward to try it out once it is confirmed to work on I9000 series
i always noticed there are lot of developments and cool stuff going on with US Captivate and US Vibrant models
it feels like the International I9000 series is neglected by the Modding community
Cyanogenmod forums are sluggish Hordes of users are trying to get their CM6.1 goodness
Anyone tried them on the I9000?
Damn it sometimes I wish I had the US version so I would have more development
It is NOT available for the US Galaxy S variants yet either...
Cyanogen tweeted last night:
Builds for each device are slowly hitting the mirrors. ..and before you ask, there's no Vibrant or apps2ext support.

Me too ;/ it'll be here someday and I cant wait to try it out.

Samsung Galaxy S and Samsug Galaxy Tab gets Gingerbread. (No info about other devices.)
It's possible.... especially with no timeframe, it is very possible. If you, hmm, catch my drift.
yea if we live in a magical land filled with roads of chocolate and gumdrops......
And where a Samsung-branded magical dragon delivers the updates to your phone personally, and when Samsung misses a deadline the dragon cries.... and his tears turn into Jellybeans! And those Jelly beans cure cancer.... err, I think I've gone a bit too far.
i'm guessing that samsung is going to release both 2.2 and 2.3 at the same time. everyone will have to listen to KSAM radio to get the update....

this sounds very plausible because the tab is just an oversize galaxy S, and the new phone they're releasing for ATT looks just like the vibrant. If those two devices gets gingerbread, it wouldn't be long until someone port it or samsung actually releasing it for the vibrant too. Just have to wait and see. This would be better than getting 2.2.
well me i would be more inclined to believe that one of the devs like team whiskey, eugene will have gingerbread before samsung or tmo delivers on all their broken promises.
Frankly I do not care at all, I see Froyo as a HTC upgrade, one that every HTC phone needs and should have. It really woke the hell out of my HTC Android phones up!
Now with the Vibrant? NONE of the leaks have made my phone any faster, in fact the last 2.1 I used was a lot more stable than the best 2.2 rom I have used so far (and I have used quite a few of them). The only advantage I have seen is much better GPS locks and faster internet speeds with the JL series modem files (outside only, worse than the 2.1 modems inside a building) and much better reception overall than the 2.1 modems.
So IMO Froyo update will only be a modem/gps/reception update, no real speed or any other advantage here.
Now gingerbread will be to us what Froyo is to the HTC devices, if we will get it at all that is

It is definitely possible that official 2.2.1 Froyo is optimized for the hummingbird (i also heard that it may have a newer file system), thus giving the SGS the same boosts as snapdragon devices... wishful thinking of course...
so possibly they will merge parts of 2.2.1 with 2.3 giving us a taste of both in the near future possibly before 2012
The tab needs 3.0 not 2.3...

hey samsung or tmo doesnt know that they're going to run the tab on 2.3 and promise updates all year long.

Anything less is fAIL, like it is now.
I do not really give a damn anymore. 2.3 would be really nice, but with the Roms from EB, TW, Master, Jellete, I could go on ...all these guys have done great things in the rom world. I have modded and tweaked this phone so it now performs like supped up BENZ.......... really only S2 will move me away from this phone. all this worry over Samsung delivering...... is just "old lady wring your hands complaining" ....like I said who really cares at this point?
Bring on the ported Galaxy S roms
hXXps://twitter.com/#!/googlenexus/status/147783081426817024
we got faster news here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395828
we are installing it already
this in change is good news for SGS i9000 and it variants, as the NS i9020 is very similar to our phone
update Koush already made it available to flash via CWR for i9020
This is great news - the ICS ports on the SGS are pretty damn good already, with this we should have some nice improvements.
AND Android 4.0.3 was released today... http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-0-3-announced/
I really want to see an improvement in the current ROMs for Galaxy S. This will really help !
haha! wow! now this is something that really gets me excited
if anyone is interested to see a preview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPAF2Rsdm1I
It's in spanish (i think). But who cares, all we want to see is how it works anyway, right?
From what i was able to observe in that video it seems smooth, but i would have definitely treated it a bit harsher just to see when it starts lagging/if it all xD
It's official, we are no longer supported.
Thank you to all DEVs that have been cooking & porting ROMs with the latest. Without you, my phone would be an expensive and out-of-date purchase.
Would I ever buy another Sammy phone? Maybe, they do seem to have great specs compare to others.
Cheers.
can you provide with the link of the info???
Agreed thanks devs for all the hard work! Thanks for giving us yummy ics

Here's one from Android Matters, http://www.droidmatters.com/news/galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-will-not-get-ice-cream-sandwich-says-samsung/
I've read this on many other news websites, just Google it.
Is this the Death Blow?

Once again... This is news for the International Version of Galaxy S. Our beloved Vibrant was left out way back in the Froyo Days. The International at least got GB source released and even official for all but the Vibrant.
So sorry if this is rude but, this is no news to us Vibrant owners.
Samsung hasnt really made the final verdict yet.. thoae links you showed were later overturned by overwhelmingly bad response from the community.. sasumg said they might reconsider

read the news today?
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-includes-face-unlock-and-other-ics-features/
seems like samsung had (or has?) been working on some GB/ICS features for the i9000 series.
Can't complain, it's official software, whether it was leaked legitimately or not. This may be a very good sign for us.
GPS Fail
[ROM][07-JAN][4.0.3] ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Passion v10.6 - Proof it can and does work just fine on Galaxy S hardware.
As far as leaving out Touch Whiz... I seriously doubt most would consider that a deal breaker . Leave it out if it won't fit. That reason is too lame to explain why official updates just stopped so early in this phone's life.
It is simple in my mind. Samsung screwed the pooch on 10,000,000 phones with the faulty GPS hardware they chose to stick into these phones. All roms, from the "official" garbage Samsung's put to the excellent roms from brilliant developers like the one above, can never seem to get the GPS in these phones working properly.
Samsung wants 10 million Galaxy S phones to just go away, so we'll stop asking them when they're finally going to fix the gps.
Samsung gave up on the Galaxy S long ago.
You know what, the devs here are crazy awesome. They've basically put a stable NON-TOUCHWIZ ICS on our devices (passion and a couple others but passion in particular) and I couldn't be more thankful as I am not well off and have to buy older devices to keep my android addiction fixed thanks devs for all that you do. We truly appreciate you guys

Flash ICS passion and call it a day. GPS works, mute/unmute is being worked on.
I've been running it for a week and its silky smooth

The most stable rom for me (and not only me) is by far Bionix 1.3.1. After all the roms that i tried(2.3 or ics) Bionix is still the best with no bugs and working gps

Passion still has a few bugs to work out, but otherwise it's the best rom I've ever had on my Vibrant.

Remember that GPS works* for ICS but with an asterisk! Once your phone goes to deep sleep, GPS won't work until you reboot your phone and use it immediately (before any deep sleep). This is a highly accepted observation.
Support for phones
It's official, we are no longer supported.
Not supporting Sammy but.... I've found this problem (little or no support) with anything that is electronic a common practice. These companies are pushed buy sellers and yes the consumer to come up with the next 'latest and greatest'.
Appliances, TV's, modems, routers, computers... you name it, after months of support Sammy and the like, move along and let the buyer find resources to upgrade.
and so a +1 to your following statement and DEVs'
Thank you to all DEVs that have been cooking & porting ROMs with the latest. Without you, my phone would be an expensive and out-of-date purchase.

Thanks for all the replies... Going to check out a couple of the recommended ROMs tonight. Thanks again!

You mean this Petition?
News Sources are in Post #4 and I-9000 "Value Pack" story is in Post #6
Also I have been pounding AndroidPolice (also in Post #6)in both the Val-Pack story's comments and also on G+. I have seen several people from the G+ article +1'ing me and some of the names i have also seen on the petition's comments. So it is working.
Edit: Just went in and we are at 1132 signatures. That is a little under 100 today alone.
