People *****ing that the epic don't have it

lmao. fair enough

A more important fact is that the first 2.3 phone is Nexus S, which is almost identical to Galaxy S in hardware.
Most importantly, it has hummingbird 1ghz cpu.

can roms be developed for the Epic using this SDK?

LOL That's accurate.

Is it possible to unblock it, or has it been removed from the Kernel?

Don't be so quick to discount what the community is able to do. However, the kernel source may be needed to get it working properly on our hardware. I'd just say don't hold your breathe for it, it can be a lot of work to port code, just look at cm6.

2.3

So gingerbread is running on n900, hd2, iPhone3g and EVERY other android phone, EXCEPT the epic.
Why do these non-android phones have the latest build before we do?
What's so different in the epic that gingerbread won't work?

Most of the important stuff is done retardedly by Samsung, and they don't release source code for their retarded implementation. They make it pretty hard.

Well, at least this thread isn't about Froyo...

I haven't seen anything about why is 2.3 hard to port...only threads about froyo
I was only curious. I wanna know if its because no one is working on it because they're working on cm6 or is there really something blocking it.
I don't mean to belittle the devs working on cm6, their hands are tied and this wasn't meant for them and I'm only waiting on mms to just flash it and never look back
I'm just a curious little monkey!

I think he asking a legitimate question.
I wondered about that myself.Iphone 3g grts 2.3 and we dont-sht dont sound right.Devices that not meant to run Android are running it.Samsung already made thwir money of Epic why these mf's wont give us the source so we can make 2.3 ourself?

Its garbage. Its a proof of concept. We had gingerbread booting on the epic like a day after its release, but not in a functional state. Why completely rebuild an OS when you can take what we have and make it as functional as possible. It would be a waste of dev talents to hand build a Frankenstein gingerbread when there is so much else to work on.

I'm really starting to get tired of this. If Samsung is going to continue prolonging the wait for official GB they should at least throw us a bone and give us kernel source.

what if kernel is what they are having problems with fixing?

Most have said it is the modem.
Even if it was the kernel, it would still help our devs with adding CM7/MIUI support.

I agree and as long as SamFirmware keeps up the great job then we can enjoy practice roms till we get official GB.... personally I don't wanna run cm7 because I like to support local projects but that's just me.....

Its says the modem was messed up from the start! They are trying to fix it thru software!
Oh, and someone needs to alert samsfirmware!

Yeah but idk I just like to see what our devs can do with samsprints updates..... sorry to go off topic but why didn't we ever build cm6.... I know we would have only used it for a couple months but it seems like it would've been good practice for cm7 possibly cm8(yeah right lol)?

Biffmod FTW! I used it on my HTC Magic 32B back in the day.
I know that the same dev is now working on the i9000,Captivate, Vibrant and fascinate. Maybe he'll work on ours as well when we get CM7 working.

once more, with feeling!

So has there never been a driver source released before for us? or just GB driver source?

We also now have EK30 RDF

Aside from EI22 (which we now have officially,)
We've seen EK23 Sleep underneath us, and today, we now have EK30.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't mind these updates, if they keep going at it, what will you think will come of January 2012 ;D (wishful thinking here, don't get all crazy on me)
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EK30.rdf
Still reads 2.3.6, like EK23.
It's nothing like comparing source-code, but I just read up and compared both EK23 and EK30's UA Profiles, neither have a single 'change' this indicates to me what others such as Toadlife have been saying, kernel fixes. I can't comment, as I'm no Samsung Dev. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not sure if I want to stab Samsung or give them a hug.

Those builds are just patches to the official EI22 build.

I came across this while Googling earlier. Seems Samsung made their RC's available somehow. Though it won't help us, it makes me wonder if there is a possibility.

whats messed up is vibrant & Captivate has same specs??? SO WTF SAMMY

maybe cuz these phones are gsm ones. and closer to the international one.

These are not official Samsung builds, these are builds by Team ICSSGS. They are basically pure vanilla builds with no additional software or modifications, except for a few to get them to work on the listed devices. Thus no Touchwiz.. IIRC, Team ICSSGS began this project in November and have had these 3 phones with ICS since January.

nvm already been stated.

If your on XDA then you know we have ICS, so who cares? Even better it's cm9. Even better Marcusant keeps kanging other ICS based builds through it.

in what ways would this help or benefit us just curious is all? is it less aggresive TW so that we have more RAM? but seeing how we already have AOSP isn't that much smaller than TW already?

Honestly, I don't think the ram in the epic is enough for CM9, it just barely gets by IMO, so tw? Sorry but no, too bloated. Even the processor has a hard time keeping up with cm9, all that TW bloat would cripple it.
And yes, I still have my epic, and I carry it around everywhere. Just permanently in airplane mode lol.
