I currently have a htc evo, but im thinking of getting a epic.. I just can't have a phone for 2 long..lol.. I had it since launch date.. Now I would like some info on how the dev support is over here such as the best roms and kernels and is it easy to root.. Could you please share your experience with the epic (roms/kernels) and pros and cons would be great.. Thanks..

Rooting is extremely easy..I mean you can even use z4root app if you want to..otherwise we got 1 click root + clockwork..
As for development...its ok, no where as big as the EVO, but EVO has been out longer and people are more familiar with HTC..overall though its getting there..Cyanogen mod is in the works and some night builds are out..
We have a few roms to choose from, as for kernels..right now most of our custom kernels are for Eclair only..as we are waiting for them to release Froyo and with it comes source code (unlike HTC, Samsung releases source within a day or so)...
There are a few developments going on for building the kernel from scratch as well...
I think cyanogan team is working on making a universal kernal for all sgs devices so that we can use the other sgs stuff..(at least thats what I heard I might be mistaken)
Also we have a tool called Odin...which effectively makes our phones "almost" unbrickable...as its a tool used by Samsung themselves to flash roms..
Dev support is great. We should be getting cm6 rather soon as there are really just a few things left to fix and that will of course be the best rom. People running nightlies have been saying they're getting like 1400+ scores in quadrant so it'll be lightning fast.

wait I forgot the epic isn't on froyo yet, but 1400+ on 2.1 is just crazy.. What setup are you guys using?
Sent From My Htc Evo!!!
That was just one report of someone running a nightly of cm6. I mean the raw power is there but we'll have to see.
Also I believe cm is being developed on dk28 which is a leaked froyo build

I just put cm6 on my phone and got a 1693 in quadrant so ya. Cm6 is fast.

I would be hesitant to move to the epic for the simple reason that samsung can't seem to get a timely update out and this limits what the developers can accomplish. At this point I wonder if samsung will release android 2.3 for the epic. With out an official release and the source code that goes with it, it is unlikely that we will see custom kernels for it.

Due to popular demand, Sony Ericsson changed their mind and will now release Gingerbread for X10 phones:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/
So, now that it is proven that pressure over a manufacter works, and Samsung is very slowing and late releaseing 2.2, should we start a campaign asking for 2.3? There is no single reason a phone can't get 2.3 except lazyness from manufacters.
Yes I think we should.

Gingerbread will be ported to our fone by devs...the new dev which have combined...mayb news in april n stuff...! \m/
Well, that is good news, I did not knew anything about some dev porting 2.3 to Galaxy 3. If this is true: \o/ (much better than a official rom)
some info!
the team said that they will have team discussion abt porting it to G3 cuz they are porting it to G5 now... they also said that it would take abt month to port it if everyone would do their jobs
Witch group is porting? Cyanongen?
Samaung has still not released official froyo in many countries....
Dont expect official 2.3 b4 2012...

dont know abt cyanogen but gingerbread
It is not Gingerbread, they are working over JPM rom, sorry guys
The good news is that they are porting a lot of new stuff into their rom, it could end up being even better than a 2.3 one.

no im pretty sure that rudolf said that they were going to port gingerbread to our devices + JPM rom! heres the message: Originally Posted by Pauri

Rudolf: well for now all i can tell is mad team is porting it for Galaxy 5! then why can we port it for Galaxy 3! We will surely have a team discussion for it
Thanks. I asked them in the official thread about their new project and they told me it was JPM.
So looks like they have a second project rolling, that is porting 2.3 to G5 that maybe can also be for G3.... We can only hope
They aren't porting it to sg5, its a different team. I dont dont necessarily have 2 projects going on, he just said they discussed it. I'm pretty sure that they (or somebody else) will (eventually) (attempt to) port gingerbread to sg3
whatever may be the case...g3 mayb getting the best custom rom startup or the 2.3 port!
PS - Lesty isnt der in the ARMKV team!!!
Hello all,
According to this site Link a lot of galaxy devices are getting the gingerbread 2.3.3 update.
My question is:
Why don't we get the update?
I mean, the galaxy mini is getting it, why not the SG3?
Can someone please explain?

Its business ;-) why would Samsung pay their devs to make GB on SG3, who buys SG3 anymore? Nowadays they buy galaxy mini and ace, so they want to support those devices... I mean SG3 is not making money for Samsung anymore, so they don't have any reason to provide update :-(

i couldn't have said it better. Samsung has stopped SG3 production itself so we can't expect anymore updates. Even the Froyo update promised by samsung came so late. do not even dream about Gingerbread. We can get it only if it is ported by some dev from the ace or some other phone.
It's true but also sad. I haven't planed to buy a new phone for 2 years. I hope someone will translate the gingerbread from galaxy ACE to our phone
But, samsung has to make gingerbread. Rules of google! 18 months after the release of gingerbread every phone that can run gingerbread has to have it!
Yeah and 18 months after 2.4/2.5 is probably coming out. Then gingerbread will be like froyo right now.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
no gingerbread for us officialy. but what is with the porting? i see alot of low range phones like xperia x8, lg optimus one etc. getting ported gingerbread. How are they doing this porting? Is anyone with G3 doing it?
Samsung isn't porting gb to sg3, but there are some people on the dev board getting organized on porting cyanogen, which uses gb nowadays, and that is basically our best bet on getting it working on our phones right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045224
Even so, i don't think they'll get it ready for at least a couple of months from now, so you can either help them with dev/testing or sit back and not think about 2.3 for now
I read it somewhere in this forum that it's not possible to port Gingerbread as it requires at least 1.0 Ghz processor. Would be glad to prove wrong though.
even the galaxy 5/europe got gingerbread http://www.madteam.co/forum/index.p...anogen-710-nightly/page__pid__4724?#entry4724
i cant help becouse i don't know anything about making roms and such things

No! Its not necessary as Galaxy Ace can have GB but it doesn't have 1Ghz processor
Then giving more priority to high-end phones can be reason?
There's no point in Samsung to release gingerbread for our phone. Paying devs to make Gingerbread to some old phone which is not giving them money anymore would casue them to go in minus and that means the phone would've been a failure in the markets.
i think that the sg3 won't have the update to gingerbread because they will not earn nothing from this marketing choise..
Samsung has something to gain. It's based on pleased customers. If they bring Gingebread for G3 many of the users will be pleased and they're gona buy again Samsung. If customers see that other companies give GB for their devices, it is possible to buy from other companies. This happened with many disapointed SE X8 users(they dont even have official 2.2).
All the above is known as aftersales service.
ALWAYS high-end phones will get first updates !! And everyone knows why.
Dont panic SG3 Will get Gingerbread too, as we got official froyo so late will get gingerbread too eventualy in june i belive.
No way Galaxy Mini or Fit is better than Galaxy 3. It's just that they are latest phones doesn't mean they are more popular. I doubt they will get more sales than Galaxy 3.
The thing is when we got froyo that's when gingerbread came out. Now when gingerbread comes to our g3 then we all are going to want 2.4

The dev (AdamG) of THE BEST AOSP Rom (Oxygen) for the HTC Desire is getting an SGS2!
Expect a fast, clean, simple, feature rich and bug-free ROM for the SGS2!

Nice. Seems like alot of devs moving towards the SG2 in favor of the sensation and atrix(lol)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, was quite happy to read that! Since he just got a Nexus I didn't think he would be developing for the SGS2. Let's just hope CM get AOSP working (properly) soon...
The Sensation new screen shape is horrible, remembers me of 5800!
At least the SGS2 is a real evolution in all levels (just needed better plastic) and its rooted.
The promises of CM7 and MIUI have pushed many ex-HTC devs to try the SGS2
Where are you Paul Obrien??

It shouldnt be too hard to port Oxygen to SGS2, Im suprised there have been no other AOSP ROMs made when its been out for 2 months now.
Love Oxygen for my Desire, and can't wait to see it on my SGS2!
So happy to see so much development going on for the SGS2, looks like Samsung really have it together and understand how to please everyone. I'm sure this phone will be their best selling so far and rightfully so!
I'm not manufacturer loyal and the SGS2 is my first Samsung, but I can't really think of any reason so far why my next phone wouldn't be another Samsung.
there has been 1 attempt by ryanza

Hey, good to see you here. Atinm and Codeworkx are the guys who are working hard to get AOSP working at the moment, but they're struggling with some issues. There are several threads here where they give progression updates every now and then. I know things haven't always been good between you and CM developers on the Desire, but I believe Atinm and Codeworkx are happily sharing information with other -serious- developers so it might be worth contacting them. Well, it's great to see you here and I hope you get it working soon!

No chance mate.
Samsung won`t make updates to such "old" phones....
I'm agree with Lelex45, Samsung has forgotten this device... But there are a lot of "unofficial" very good rom here
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunaly this won't happen. However like occ hio said, there are plenty of good custom roms. I own my i9001 now for 13 months, only the first couple of months of them I ran stock gingerbread from samsung. Never regretted that I turned to custom roms.
i think the custom roms that you can find here are a great solution
Yeah, get over it - JB custom ROMs are now for daily use IMHO, or you can just wait for the 3.0 kernel + few bugs fixed and it'll be close to perfection Cheers
Who cares whether they release it or not? Obviously the OP, but i doubt many others. We got the files, and the community. There's lots of custom ROMs that are better anyway..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
There are less roms than every body always says there are. For the most interesting android version (4.1) there's cm10, and variations based on that cm10 rom. If you find bugs in cm10 that annoy you, there is no use switching to an other rom.
I gave up the hope of an official update from samsung, but it would be nice if they could provide up to date drivers. But I really can't image they suddenly changed their attitude. Samsung is a hardware manufacturer and they see very little interest in software (quite common in Asia. People invest in stuff you can hold in your hands, not virtual stuff like software). But on the other hand, I gave up buying samsung stuff so can't really expect them to do anything for me
There really no chance for this petition!
They won't do it, they are so mean about new roms old devices or to it's modifications: s

I remember that a time ago in a German forum people send many requests for ics to Samsung like a petition but it had no use. I think they said the device wouldn't be popular enough but not sure...
I think Samsung won't release JB for I9001 too. But give the best support to CM10 team!
If Samsung would release JB for such "old" phones, they couldn't sell so much oft their new devices. Anyway, i'm using cm 10 on my S-Plus, and in really can say it's much smoother than my wifes S3 mini.
no chance for this to succeed
