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?

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!!!

Yeah, maby someone can port gs's gingerbread or the gingerbread from the g5 to the g3!
That would be so awesome
thanks alot
and what will be the advantage from Gingerbread?
Is it faster, are there new functions?
2.2 vs 2.3 not so many differences as 2.1 vs 2.2
Dream on!!!!
I dont think Gingerbread is gonna come to us!
i think the same... and i think that Froyo it's good enough for our phone.
Sad to know that the G5 is an inferior phone to the G3, yet they have had more sucess than us at getting updates and modding. It is thanks to motafoca, a G5 developer that Kyrillos now has his amazing G3 ROM
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

i mailed samsung yesterday with the question "can we expect an update to gingerbread for the apollo i5800 as its also part of the galaxy line?" the answer was short, "dont count on it".
So we've have some devs recently that have either announced that they are stopping/slowing down support or have gone entirely... Anyone feel like this is the beginning of the end for our beloved X10?
This is the list so far:
1. Zdzihu (has slowed down support for his roms and haven't seen any activity from him in over 2 weeks)
2. Cobrato (has stopped development on his MIUI rom)
3. TripNraver (Has also stopped development on all his roms due to personal reasons)
4. Achotjan (has announced that he will be slowing down support as he will be/is a student)
5. Jerpelea (havent seen anything from him in awhile (or is he a part of the freeXperia team?)
*EDIT* Heard that he changed his name to FXP and is still very much active!
6. Rdannar (gone because his phone is broke)
7. Z!GZA!G (new and promising dev but phone broke as well )
We still have very active support from Wolfbreak, nasif619, spaarc and Erickwill in terms of roms and also from Doomlord, Thjap and Azuzu for their kernels and tweaks as well as some releases from other newcomers but I cant help but feel like we're in a bit of trouble...
Anybody else that I'm missing or didn't give credit to? let me know and I'll update the list.. Maybe we can come up with some way to get some devs back on out device or have more development going
unfortunately this is the circle of life.
Support goes to the new generation of devices.Just get over it.
We have more than we imagined when we bought x10.

1. Z is around, don't worry. Hopefully he's busy with providing a bootloader unlock (just dreamin' ) He never posted that much, just compare his post count with what he achieved for our x10. He's not someone who just talks and promises a lot, but when he's posting you can be almost sure that it's either a fix or a major breakthrough that is already prepared for public release
2. Cobrato said he won't continue developing MIUI ROMs because it's a lot of worked without sources (MIUI sources are not released to public). As far as I know he didn't say, he doesn't develop anymore. So let's see what'll come from him
3. Trip left xda by his own choice. If he also stopped dev'ing on modaco, that's sad, but personal reasons are more important than development. Btw. wasn't he planning to dev for the Sensation? Didn't see a single ROM from him there.
4. Achotjan slows own, right. That doesn't mean he's gone.
5. Jp - are you talking about Jerpelea? If so you must be kidding. He's the heart of the FreeXperia team, developing for all Xperia phones atm (X10/mini/pro, Arc, Play, mini/pro from 2011, ...). Recently he changed his name to FXP (FreeXPeria?) so don't get confused.
6. rdannar & Z!GZA!G: didn't know that. It's really a pitty. I hope they'll be back with new or repaired phones
Good to know that Z and FXP are still doing their thing! I'm a bit of a flashaholic so I get real sad when I dont see updates for a couple days... but you're right... it is the cycle of life and it will happen sooner or later.
Hopefully if bootloader gets unlocked, it will bring back a lot of dev activity
I doubt there is enough interest to unlock the bootloader now.
oddly enough we're at a weird point right now....
older phones are so old they are losing dev support, and also there are so many good newer phones that are so new causing them to have little dev support lol

Well devs are humans they have other things to do..
I feel that we already got too much support from developers on our X10 and even though things have naturally slowed down, there is still some notable activity.
And maybe it's time for normal users like us to read and research and make our own progress! Will be fun!

I really think that the devs have done an amazing job with this phone, such so that I see no incentives in upgrading my phone to a newer model.. However is there really much more they can do? The only two things I see as missing from the software side is lack of a fully unlocked bootloader and the 16 million colour screen! But there's no real need for an unlocked bootloader and the 16 million colours is only going to happen if SE release source codes..
So really I feel that we've been lucky to have such amazing dev support for the last year. They've pushed this phone to its limits and without them what would we do!
All I can say is that they've done a great job and I hope to see some more of their work down the line!

what is 3x kernel?
Yes, I'm afraid. The dev support for this phone is slowly diminishing. It's sad because they have achieved so much with this phone. At the same time, what else is there to do with this phone that hasn't been done already, or that doesn't need an unlocked bootloader. Hopefully Z comes out with some good news about the bootloader soon, that should keep people here a bit longer.
I hope that one or two devs stay till the end, I came in late in the game so I'm stuck with this phone on a contract until March 2013! D:
That being said, I do love this phone. It's not only my first smartphone, but it's my first ever phone. It has a strange sentimental value to me
Just my too sense.
its the kernel from when we got the gingerbread update. the custom kernel we have is based on the older kernel but our devs have fixed so it works on gingerbread

They have a SGS II port in the i9000 forum that is ICS touchwiz and it seams to run pretty well, (they have a video, i tried to port it but the kernel is hacked to make it work) so really they just dont want to do it.

are you guys still stuck on this subject? GET OVER IT. We have amazing ICS ROMS in our dev section already. Samsung has their business style just as any other company.
If you guys are really still stuck on the subject, you could try to spread the word of this petition...

Sadly the petition started to slow down about a month ago, but hey, maybe you guys can give it a second wind. Although I honestly doubt we'll get an official upgrade at this point in time.
Am I missing something? Just came in to check new update but horrified to see the thread marked DISCONTINUED and closed!
Bad news?
read last 20-30 posts of the dev thread - it looks like note will get official CM9 very soon, so no need for Imilka's rom
Imilka was first of all never planning to release cm9. he made the cm9 build for his own love.. but he was not sure if he shoudl release it.
I had asked encouraged him.. he should
but not sure why he took it down. maybe he thought its unofficial. will ask him about it
btw, teamhacksung is already working on cm9 with custom open source kernel for the note.. so we will get an official build soon!
But shouldn't be discontinued until CM team makes a release. At least we have Imilka's ported ROM to keep us busy while waiting.
CM team SOON to release official galaxy note cm9 mod, Imilka's CM9 ROM early closure is a bad news still.

Anyway, his ROM is more than good enough to hold us over.
i think its his personal decision after all. he even discontinued the aosp thread
Waaahhhh I cannot get over to this feeling like the school I went just closed. You got what I mean? The feeling is bad.

Completely understand your feeling. Will miss Imilka's excellent work!
Since Imilka said he will support it at least untill it gets official support - and it's discontinued now - i guess it's getting official very soon. Would be nice if they incorporated some of Imilka's work on it though - was a good work right ? Would be a shame to toss it away.
Well, let's just hope to see official builds as soon as possible.
What ever the reason Imilka I thank you for your hard work. I enjoy flashing your roms on my note
No more CM9, no more AOSP... Maybe he joins the dark side? I hope not.
AOSP&CM9 ARE the dark side
Just got an update from Imilka.
He has discontinued cm9, because official version will be out soon, so he doesn't see a point working on it more
He has discontinued aosp, because its not used that much, as cm and aokp are more widely used,
so he doesnt seem there is a point in putting his energies here.
but he might be back soon with something else
Let's hope cm9 comes before ics for the note from Samsung
But very excited about this news

Me too! I used Imilka V8 and Imilka CM9 v02 anh I feel pleasent.
Accept one thing that Imilka miss that S-pen functions, the power of the Note.
Hope Imilka will be back with more powerful ROM with S-pen facilities.
Many thanks again.
Very sad to see it discontinued as well. Imilka's CM9 ROM was hands down the best ROM I have ever used on my Note (and I've tried a lot of ROMs!). I will continue to use v03 until we have an official port.
I only hope that it is soon... As Galaxy Note users, we have become far too accustomed to hearing "coming soon", only to be disappointed.
Looks like Entropy is making good progress though, so I remain optimistic!
