POLL: Gingerbread Speculation

This is my first Motorola phone and I actually hopped to ATT for the Atrix and so far, I really dont have anything bad to say.
Now that my intro is done... anyone have any insight when MOTO/ATT will push Gingerbread to the Atrix?
I'm hoping summer... what does everyone else think?
edit: when I poll for winter, its winter at the end of this year, not right now....

So far we're speculating for fall...
Hopefully with the attention that MOTO has with the Atrix and the Xoom, maybe they'll hire some extra engineers to push something by summer...

look at Milestone, they still on 2.1.
so I guess we won't get 2.3 until 2012

I really hope they upgrade directly to Ice Cream in winter, skipping Gingerbread. Ah well, hope springs eternal, as they say...

Crap in one hand and wait on gingerbread in the other, see which one gets full first.
It is bs the phone should not have been released without gingerbread.

They are already developing ginger bread. Look in dev forum. Someone had a dev dump if ginger bread at some point

gingerbread is pointless.
ice cream is what we need. I rather have them skip gingerbread and work straight onto ice cream.

Actually Motorola are known to update their flagship phones. The milestone never for updated because it was not one. The Droid x was released with 2.1, updates to 2.2 and will be getting 2.3 soon.

Since the Atrix is a flagship dual-core, I think we'lll see it sooner rather than later. Especially since we have a Gingerbread dump in the dev forum already... that's some nice signs for a spring/summer update.
Its really interesting seeing the wide range of dates when people think we'll get it.

I would really like to see the update soon, but it doesn't look likely. It is more likely I will end up with the Galaxy S2 / iphone 5 or some new HTC phone before we see an update.

Ice Cream Sandwich Leaks on Galaxy S!

ICS is expected to hit devices officially sometime in Q4 2011. However, today we found something that made our jaws drop.
I don’t know how stable this is, or if was even supposed to be out. The fact remains that I found this.
I stumbled upon an Ice Cream Sandwich leak on the popular Samsung Galaxy S.
So, without further ado, feast your eyes:
Taken from my post here: http://zomgitscj.com/2011/05/12/ice-cream-sandwich-leaks-on-galaxy-s/
Did I take your breath away for that one second where you hoped it was true?

Saw this coming from a mile away. Been punked before with this one!
Did make me chuckle though

Looks more practical than the Honeycomb leaks a while back.

I'm lovin' it. chuckles all the way

Tricky will have it in the beta kitchen this weekend.

hahahahaha

Seems to be quite stable but I have some concerns in the long run.

But what about battery consumption? It will get messy if the battery overheats.

@snapper.fishes Yes temperature management won't be too easy. But then again, its a very early beta

Sick joke...

Was too obvious but still made me laugh.

dont you have anything to do?
seriously....

The ice cream sandwich isn't 'leaking' in your photo. Next time wait for the ice cream to melt a bit and run over the screen... then it'll be an ice cream sandwich leak. Poor execution.

CM7 The Only Hope For Epic 4G?

As this community slowly declines one can't help but think, is CM7 the only thing we have left to look forward to?

I don't know if we can or not. We managed to troll/eta ourselves into getting the thread closed.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Not really i mean we've got ACS... Bonsai ...MidNight.... Nebula (hopefully)... MIUI .... all this should kick off shortly.
but i mean after gingerbread... then what ? Gingerbread is already pretty old so i mean...

I don't know guys, maybe samsprint will surprise us.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

As much a my phone would love some ice cream sandwich, I highly doubt samsprint will officially support it for the epic. While gingerbread was a nice treat (pun intended). I beielve this will be the last official update. But hey hopefully the devs can work some magic...if there are ay left by then!
From cellblock D

Reaction to Official GB will Reveal All
I suspect the reaction to the official gingerbread release will tell us. I suspect we'll see a flurry of the standard players after the GB release, Bonsai (my favorite), ACS, etc. However, they will quickly reach the point where they have done all they can do, (i.e. applied all the currently known tweaks/patches).
After that, it's really CM. CM7 development (based on commits) seems to have slowed a bit after a flurrish at the end of May. If the CM7 team is able to get it stable based on the official GB source, the Epic can then ride the CM train for a while. If that doesn't happen, I expect 1-2 revisions of tweeked ROMs based on GB from each team, particularly Bonsai and ACS and then development on the Epic will be done.

More tasty deserts with CM7.

I agree if we are lucky we may get an ice cream sammich. With CM7 we can get timely upgrades of more tasty deserts like jelly beans, kiwi pudding, lemon meringue pie, etc, etc....

Not even looking at icecream sandwitch, if we get to CM7, we will not just get major updates, but we'll get regular, minor releases as well. Those can provide additional featuers. (I'd personally LOVE to get the granular permissions control thats being added to CM7.) If we don't get to CM7, we can dream about ICS, but in reality, we're unlikely to get features and instead only get ROM tweeks (and kernel modules).

Also we will have continued development and not have development stop because of lack of source code. That is what I hate most about not being on cyanogenmod. With the lawsuit with apple Samsung should seriously consider working more with cyanogenmod and just dump touch wiz all together. In my opinion touch wiz is not all that impressive and serious limits the phone's compatibility.

To the consumer touchwiz may not seem much. But to sammy it is. There's always some in depth agenda the consumer has no clue about.

I believe that after GB we have no other updates coming for the Epic (official at least). But we manage to get CM, that would change the appeal of the phone, and would be a retention factor for many.

I believe something of a sort aswell my friend. But the CM7 team will have a fully functional release by the end of the summer. I'm positive. Then will have a lot more activity going on with the epic community once again. Just have patience and encourage our developers. Donate. And keep the hype going. Believe it or not the people are the devs source of encouragment.

Does that agenda have to do with $$$? Besides it should not be a problem with them people like us only account for less than 5% of the market share anyways.

I don't use touchwiz as my launcher but I've come to really appreciate the other small enhancements touchwiz brings.
I might be the only one but I really cannot stand sense.
This phone works great - I don't think it really needs that many more updates.

ya im really hopin once 2.3 comes out the CM7 team will get everything on track. i agree with the fact CM7 will more than likely be our last hope after 2.3 comes out, atleast for those who want to stay up to date with an older handset which has great hardware regardless. single core or not, epic has been a dream phone to me, especialy coming from the moment(touch pro 2, touch pro, mogul and ppc 6700 before that. i wont ever go all touch, KB is too important for me). the devs on here are great and keep guys like us loving our phones but i also dont forsee ICS coming to the Epic, even though google made an announcement that android phones will be updated to new software at minimum of 18months AFTER release, although that announcment was made more than 6 months after the epic came out. sucks that this phone hasnt even hit the 1 year mark yet and we are already at EOL even on firmware side. hopefully google puts the pressure on the manufacturers AND service providers for these updates regardless of when they announced that. only time will tell guys but regardless i wont buy a phone without a KB. at this point im so satisfied with my epic i can see myself rockin this bad boy for another 3+ years if need be, does what i want, when i want and has one of the best 5-row KB ive ever used. only thing missin on my EE03 is for impaler to make a keyboard fix for these dropped keys lol i miss my speed demon patch, BIG life saver for me. i type as fast if not at times faster on my epic than i do on a regular PC keyboard =P

Love. It I'm using cm7

So, you piqued my interest, and I went and started searching for ICS features and stuff. Anyway, what are the main differences we'll be seeing on our transformers? It sounds like this update is more important for phones because a lot of features sound Honeycomb-esque (except for the swipe on the multi-task roulette to kill apps, that sounds awesome).

There are so many changes this update is from the ground up in comparison to honeycomb
Think of honeycomb as the brainstorm and testing ideas and ice cream sandwich as the finished product
Framework changes UI changes memory management changes face detection improved multi tasking etc etc theres to much to list but its huge!!!!
What dog testing means is that google employees are now using a OTA of ice cream sandwich a mock up public release so to speak they say its a alpha but really its a late beta if they are sticking to there schedule plus why would they OTA a very ruff build no point so it has to be late stages or theres no point testing it on a specific device right?
Id say if they are doing this its a sign of fine tunning and getting out real world issues and bugs
Have i read but im hopefull for late december

Ice Cream Sandwich is nowhere near the finished product. Matias (Duarte) says this is just the start of what he wants to do with Android.

Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS seem to be the start of something good
Android is still a baby in OS terms, Windows is an Old boy now but Windows 7 was the first decent OS since .... maybe 2000 or XP if you like that kind of thing
Computers are only just becoming powerful and affordable if you look at even 5 years ago
In the next 10 years we will see magic happen, in 20 years we will be laughing at the things we call cutting edge today and I am planning on being here in another 40 years time, just imagine...

You guys know that ICS is fully out on the Galaxy Nexus, which is already released in Europe, right?

While I have no argument with Matias' comments, I do think that Android is, by now, a mature product compared to where it was with the 1.x or even 2.x versions.

ICS update coming in next few weeks

Engadget reports that ICS is coming to nexus s in next few weeks.
What do you think, This will be a new version or same 4.0.3 for nexus s 4g and i9023?

I cant even follow this story anymore. It's too much. It's coming, it's not, it's coming. Ugh. As much as I have followed this story i'm likely just going to stay with CM9 anyway. But I can empathize with the stock users.
In retrospect I should have used different word above. Please no sex jokes.

I hope its 4.0.4 because 4.0.3 the Barrett is so bad after that update I bought a sensation.**

Hope its 4.1!

Hope it's 5.0 (sarcasm)

What a mess Google made with Android.
Right now, ICS is becoming Android's Vista and if Google don't step up they will lose a lot.
I would expect, at least, some sort of official statement by Google or Android team this but I realize now Google is some mute giant.
I mean, even ZTE communicates better than the big G. Get this, they would talk directly with rom development community. I thought "if ZTE does this having a Nexus must be the balls!" I was wrong...

You guys realize this article means nothing?!
"It's coming in a few weeks" - that's how Google always announces any updates.
The only info you get from it is: "there will be an update, ics is not officially shelved on the nexus s." No reason to get agitated, anyone can "predict" this as long as Google doesn't let out an official statement.
Define "a few weeks"... it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

ICS, and Starcraft Ghost to be released 'in a few weeks'.

Probably not....a good 80% of users probably aren't aware the Google has anything to do with the software on the phone....most probably think the manufacture does it and the rest likely assume the carrier does....so everyone whose manufacture just said they are getting ics likely just discovered its existance and where completely surprised and happy...

That is true, but all this ignoring the more "geeky" and update friendly community doesn't do them any good.
And at least for a Nexus phone, I believe people bought them for the clean Google experience and that experience is getting to feel ignored right now.

Few weeks means in a couple of months... in google time

I hope we get to see it this year

I doubt we will be getting any update soon. And if we do it doesn't matter because I'm not upgrading until milestone 5 (or a ROM with all the same features based on the upgrade) comes out.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Milestone 4)
Air Kernel (3.45)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC (100 - Noop)
v6 Supercharged

Hey guys, I got some great news on the eta of the ota, what my very close sources tell me that we WILL get an ota, when Google releases it. but till then fellas you are more than welcome to grab some sammiches from our dev section and save the internets bandwidth talking about when its released.
