just like with froyo...took us months to get froyo for the vibrant after the i9000 got it so this means nothing for the vibrant

if im reading that correctly that does meant that we will eventually be getting gingerbread but if im not mistaken the release coming next week is supposed to be for international sgs phones.

I thought the vibrant was a US only variant? Also you would think we would have seen leaked builds by now from krylon.

I thought Krylon jumped ship a while back. Isn't he now doing a lot for the Nexus S. I assume he will still realease stuff for the Vibrant just not as often.

I hope it's true. I mean it was an official post by samsung romania, so maybe we will see gingerbread ROM's soon. Plus a full cyanogen mod!

Releasing March 30th... why not April 1st?

Doesn't matter what day it is released. It is a joke either way!

I'm not holding my breath nor do I really care anymore. I am super content with 2.2.1 simply honey even though its not meant for our phones.

I tried installing kies again and updated it tio the version required but I can't get kies tio recognize my phone. Kies 2.0 doesn't support my phone.
Is been much time since I don't use kies, but I remember having troubles with it, I think the only time I got it to work was with kies mini..
Using bionix 1.3.1 now, tried also installing stock jfd ecclaire

We got froyo 6 months after i9000, so if people are looking for a official GB, go look inside a toilet.
If you want a beta.... there MAY BE one.
but then again we already have 2 GB roms, and i'm pretty sure their the same.

Who gives a damn about official roms, im just happy this got out so our great developers will have something more solid and close for GB to our device than they do now.

EG22 Samfirmware.com, Respect & Give Thanks

I just want to put my 2 cents out here for people to read.
Samfirmware.com was awesome enough to get us the latest leak after I asked on their twitter on Jul 11th, they followed through.
First I hope everyone that downloads and runs EG22 will drop by their site and twitter, @Samfirmware, and show some love, its the respectful thing to do.
I feel like having a mirror is taking away from their deserved traffic to their site and exposure, also they cant meter how many users downloaded it. Even if we just post the hotfile link they provide would be better than putting up a DB link, this way they can see how many US users are interested in the Epic4G. By doing this, maybe they will work more in future to get leaks for our phone because of the number of hits to their site, or the number on the hotfile counter.
Well the direct link is here, http://hotfile.com/dl/124888596/3935e47/D700EG22.rar.html , the password is samfirmware.com
Also I know some people feel that them saying for people to donate more from US, they are not demanding it. It cant hurt to ask, so I signed up for their one time premium deal.

Even though Im gonna DL the flashable version, Im gonna download it from their link.

Could you please stop trolling. Its literally all you do in the Epic4g section. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even own the phone.

Yeah let's thank them for an outdated 2.3.4 when 2.3.5 is the newest for gb and ics is the newest for all of android. Would you take the old model or the newer one...

And how many phones are even past 2.3.3? Better yet, 2.3.4?
But I do agree. Prlly 3 months. We've been getting "leaked" gingerbread roms since like may.
If they keep updating it behind the scenes, we're not going to see a real release because they're gonna keep "optimizing" it. Idk why you people always get excited about one. We get a new one everymonth. Nothings new.
Except maybe the *****ing that's gonna pop up because of stupid bugs like "OMG MY PHONE TAKES 1 SECOND TO SCREEN OFF WHEN I'M WATCHING YOUTUBE /life"

i agree that 2.3.4 isn't outdated yet because that is what the atrix just got.
and samsung still sucks so it won't be updated until probably october

Guess people have been showing their appreciation...

GB Update for Epic

Spoke to Reston, VA today. They claim they are still working on the official GB update to the Epic with Samsung. They don't want to have any problems like they had with the Froyo update (according to them- there was a "lag" issue with the rotation on 2.2 OTA update). No date planned as of yet. Please stand by...

As long as its working right when it comes out. Thanks.

if only we could get em to release the source (with EVERYTHING needed) and let the community fix it for them, since we all know it would happen 10x faster than they are getting things done. Oh well, keep dreaming right?

Samsung should just give up and let the Epic community work on GB. Give them the source code and I bet they will have a fully functional build of GB within a month.

Battery life while idle could be better, but the phone lasts me through the day.

Releasing at August appears to be no hope..

the browser has bugs. when you press the Return key,the browser will be closed.

I think you can run the public's officially released galaxy tab10.1's roms.

Yes. I think it's weird too. It was first to get 3.1, so you'd expect it to get 3.2 first especially since its running what looks like almost stock Honeycomb.

I know I can run custom roms... That wasn't the point. And yes the io is a pure Google experience as far as I know

Also interested in upgrades to IO edition
As one of the other 5,000 who has the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Google IO Edition tablets, I've also been trying to track down the 3.2 upgrade. I've a spent a good chunk of this afternoon searching the web, deleting/re-adding my Samsung account to the Tab, and (gasp!) even installing Kies to see if it would unlock any necessary driver or other changes.
So far, nothing - same as what I read here. So, I'm looking forward to know if/when the 3.2 upgrade will be available to us IO Tab owners. (Though, I admit, I'd rather see ICS.)
Thanks for keeping us informed if any of the rest of you make any progress in finding a real, official update path that avoids the need to update/install ROM images, etc.

Yea @ this point I'm not worried about 3.2 its all about ics for me now but the fact they havnt responded a second time even about a rma kinda worries me
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

I also don't care for 3.2 right now. It's all about ICS, but seeing how 3.1 was here first and now 3.2 wasn't. I'm almost certain now its abandoned.

Some1 should start a petition for the 5000 of us who have these tabs lol
