Source from samsung b4 ota from vzw... Hmmm. - Fascinate General

This could imply that samsung is also frustrated with the vzw release process, and is eager to placate this very vocal community...

epic got source a few days before their ota...im assuming the trend is continuing here

Kinda strange that they would release it on a friday imo. Usually companies like to be open for pr and other reasons when they release something. Meh, what do I know?

Unless, and i am not trying to start something here, Verizon wants to start the Monday news cycle off with their OTA release. I know first thing Monday morning I spend an hour at work catching up on some tech news....
I doubt that though, I was just throwing it out there in reply to the quoted post.

Like nitsuj said, Epic Froyo source code release was also on a Friday, and the official release from Sprint was on Monday.

So now the question is, when are we going to start seeing ED01 ROMs?

Who says we haven't already?

From what I gather, this is pretty much the same as the Mesmerize source, and because it is shoddy coding, it doesn't really seem to be all that helpful

If we don't see an official release this coming week, then I guess it is Verizon that's holding back Froyo for the Fascinate. :/

it is going to happen the nexus one can run it. Our phone is much more powerful that the the nexus S is very similar. They pulled back froyo. All signs point to us getting it but it will most likely take 2 months for binaries to be released and a build to be compiled. And I don't want to hear the nah sayers going on and on that you can't trust samsung blah blah blah... Even noob said we are getting it and I know he is on this inside track.

I expect things to change greatly once 3.0 comes out..this is when release cycles for android will slow down thus giving manufacturers more leeway..
Agreed. I think they are planning on phazing out UI overlays as well when 3.0 comes out. No more motoblur, sense, tw, etc. For the tech geek we like it because we port things over from other platforms. But the Ios boobs they just want something shiny and homoginized, and that's probably the demographing android wants to really take on

Utter misinformation.
As of today, Samsung's U.S. Galaxy S support site on Twitter still denies that there has been any such announcement.
@JoeBatson no official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

it isnt exactly close to a released rom yet... they got the kernal to boot...
still work to do im sure... but i just started to monitor IRC today...
looks like i'll be in irc a little more often now.
Birdman was getting the FIRST build cooked last night, I'm pretty sure there will have to be plenty of testing & fixes probably no where near a stable release. Just be patient, asking "Where is Gingerbread?!" Is not going to make it get here any sooner.
In IRC Birdman said he could have a rom in a day...if he had that much time. It'll get done when it gets done. I also heard that the aosp stuff will be able to be ported to gingerbread.
I imagine the build he's working from is based on the Nexus S, which would be AOSP from the start.
May not be the case however.
Which channel is that discussion happening in? I'd like to follow it, myself.

See, but that that link plus IRC don't mean anything just yet.
It'll come out soon though. Just remember to support your local Dev for their gracious work... Someone took time out of their day to make software that even the manufacturer wouldn't produce for you. So please remember to support their efforts.
Yup, we should all support our devs with encouragement and donations so that they don't jump ship to another phone. It seems like there are much fewer devs for the Fascinate than other phones so it would suck if they moved to the new stuff hitting Verizon soon.

I agree with the support-the-devs sentiment, but the only imminent releases on Verizon look to be an Evo rehash, a Desire Z rehash, and the iPhone. Given the latter, I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon lagged on true high-end Android releases for a while.

There is no other version of gingerbread. The only skinned version I've seen is the PlayStation phone and that hasn't been released. No altered form of gingerbread exists right now.

Unfortunately the majority of Fascinate owners will never be able to reap the rewards of all the hard work that our developers put into making Samsung's Fascinate an actually great phone.
I am surprised that the Epic 4G got theirs as scheduled. We may not get it today but we will soon enough!

*the gingerbread thread*

Well, now that most of us have FroYo, I thought that we might be lacking something to WILDLY speculate about... sooooo GINGERBREAD ANYONE!?
Some of our friends in Europe already have gingerbread on their Galaxy S's, so the question is, when do we get ours?
Now I know that it took us over six months to get FroYo, but that was due to some sort of disagreement with Verizon and Samsung (most likely over Bing). However, since we now have 2.2, I would *assume* that they have gotten past that and that any future updates we get will most likely come in a more timely fashion.
If things go accordingly, and Samsung and Verizon play nice, then I would assume that we would be getting gingerbread around September or October (based on how long it took FroYo to be distributed to other carriers).
What do you guys think?
P.S. I'll post any major updates that appear in the media.

OP: I think the gingerbread update is going to take even longer than froyo because the gx2 and the charge are going to be out. Samsung is most likely going to update those before they even think about us.
Unfortunately, the truth is: we don't know when the heck Gingerbread is coming for the Fascinate. And with Samsung's somewhat random updates, its really hard to guess even a general date.
If we can get CM7 and maybe officially supported by CM. who cares about stock GB. If JT and PK's work becomes bug free, and it looks like they have done great job, I think we might see gold.

Completely untrue. The droid name means nothing. Carrier and manufacturer are the same. Hardware is the exact same as a the fascinate other than the fact that it has a 4g radio. Its a last gen phone in the very beginning of a new generation... No one cares about it. If anything, its twice the orphan than the fascinate was.

How much do you want to bet the Droid Charge will see Gingerbread and more minor updates than the Fascinate just because it's in the Droid lineup? Both phones are nearly identical when it comes to software. Nearly every phone in the Droid lineup has had great support(except for the Eris and maybe the Pro).
I honestly don't think the fascinate will ever see gingerbread in any sort of official way.
