As Galaxy S owners, we are all united. As Android users we are all united. As far as Samsung is concerned we are all NOT created equal. Our device, the Vibrant (SGH-T959), is now being left to the wayside for any future updates from Samsung even though our core specs are extremely similar to the Google Nexus S, which has already received the ICS update. The CyanogenMod team has left us due to the on-going issue of 911/e911 and the lack of the proper code from Samsung to alleviate a potentially fatal result of a custom ROM. It is our intentions to serve Samsung with a petition asking for the update to ICS, which will in-turn, alleviate the 911/e911 issue as well.
We are asking all Galaxy S users to sign this petition to get Samsung to reconsider giving all top end Galaxy S devices the ICS update. Please help us with our goal and sign the petition. If you are on a Galaxy S phone, this affects you too.
Thank you for reading this and please see this link for more details and this link to sign the petition.
I concur

Well the ns4g was given ics from google and not samsung. But the problem becomes a ram issue (fascinate has only 384mb, not sure on the other variants) and the fact that samsung isn't going to give you straight up ics, it would be a fat pig that includes touch wiz and would also munch all of the ram just on boot. Even cm9 has it's ram challenges running on the fascinate. I'm not at all surprised or shocked that samsung has made this decision. But good luck with your efforts.
good day.

People report stuff cause they "find it offensive" well it is the truth what I said. It just is kinda annoying not to get a pm asking me to revise my post or anything. I would have revised it myself. But oh well, this isn't the place to ***** about the mods doing their jobs :rolls eyes:

Sorry. I already had enough upgrades thanks to Samsung & especially to great people here. Will have a GNote when it comes with ICS in a few months. New OS should be run on new phones so that it could be appreciated fully.

Im running the OMFGB Rom that I downloaded through
Rom manager, but I don't know what the real name of the
Rom is and can't find a thread on it in the forums.
Can anyone point me to the roms original thread so I can
Keep up with it. I really like the rom..
OMFGB is the name of the ROM.
It was removed from this site because of issues with the developer doing naughty things (I don't know very many details on it).
In other words, I don't think you'll find much support on it- but worth a try I suppose.
you can find more info for it on the developers new site, google R2doesInc if you want to find it.
Everything those devs do is on this site:

I love OMFGB, but I've recently switched to CM7. You jut can't beat the battery life on it.

I'm neural in the whole episode. Just pointing out that when you post like this you actually make the whole dramatic incident more intriguing to those that are unaware (like me)
a simple cliffs would be much more helpful
He released his rom with wares in it... and was banned shortly after.
Devs you think are perfectly fine will do something that displeases the general public here and will disappear shortly after. From then on all you'll hear are cryptic comments about said dev, which as you said, only piques curiosity.
Not too much unlike a mob movie.
I think the whole things kinda silly. I used to like one developer named IncredibleDoes but one day he vanished and all I've read is how "taboo" and unforgivable his actions were. I actually have no idea what happened to him.
This is a place where users become attached to devs. We like their creations, heck some even donate. Still people will disregard this completely in saying "oh no not this again" when someone is genuinely curious.
Also, I think Smokeey was being sarcastic, ridiculing the very thing I am criticizing here.

He also took myns Rom from the evo, from a beta port by incubus I was told and themed it over to call it his own
At first he gave credit but then he slowly deleted it in his posts, oh and this is where the warez was from too
He did then what he's doing now, finding fixes from other peoples roms and puts them in his Rom
Flame me all u want, I don't trust him or jdk, or even incdoes after what he did

I'm not flaming anybody. In fact that sounds like a terrible thing to do and he probably deserves the animosity displayed here. I'm just saying this community cultivates an environment where people will invest emotionally in a developer. So people shouldn't lash out when someone's curious as to why a once respected person has suddenly disappeared. It would help to have a sticky or something regarding developer "departures".

It means he put others work into his and said it was his and he also put paid market items into his rom.
I just find it so funny that the people that defend him the most all ended up as moderators on his site. I'm honestly tired of the advertising.

What do you mean with collaboration ?
I'm a new member but would like to know something about the past of this community
There was someone apparently from Samsung who showed up and claimed they wanted to get in touch with the community. Think someone called tommy? Dunno, but he just went MIA..too much effort involved? Or maybe they found a small group and connected with them?
Thank you for the information. But was there ever anyone who checked if he was really form samsung ?
Maybe it was just a bad joke of someone....
I don't think there is any collaboration. Otherwise Samsung would have solved a lot of bugs by now
No there was! I was part of the question asking team. The questions were all sent to samsung and xda is awaiting replies
Galaxy S - no point in writing rom or kernel constantly changing!
Well, the so-called collaboration failed miserably.
It was 'samsungjohn' I believe who commenced a thread/s across multiple models to allow Samsung users to post ideas etc or something like that.
The amount of abuse from users forced xda to completely stop or remove the threads.
As a result it never really got off the ground and if I were samsungjohn I wouldn't even bother again.
Kind of a waisted opportunity I believe but many posters believe it was just PR crap. I guess we will never know.

check the miui thread under dev... we are trying to raise money to donate an epic to either cyanogen mod or some other good dev willing to work on the epic.. i will make a thread soon but all donations will help and maybe make us one step closer to cm7/miui.

I smell smokescreen. I mean if the Fascinate can get CM7 running, exactly why not the Epic? They say it's "different" but if you can get CM7 running on the only other CDMA based Galaxy S device, it can't possibly be that hard to get it onto the Epic (keyboard too hard to deal with or something? lol!). They just don't want to try, pure and simple.

im pretty sure cyanogen would love to work on our devices .. after i offered him a epic 5 times via twitter and no response ,,, i already given up on cm7 and i don't support it either .. hope we can soon but by the time that happens cm8 would already be out lol
You do know that he doesn't necesarily check his twitter right? Post a thread in adroid general and let's see where that goes.

This question has been answered multiple times. They are waiting for gingerbread source code for our phone and then they will continue development on cm7. Im pretty sure once we get the source code it will come out really quick

That really wasn't it....yes they were annoying but by asking for ETAS every five minutes but the thread was closed due to a standstill poor being reached. Whether people were being annoying or not the developers reached a point of no crossing, especially when source is nearby.

SO EXCITING. Support for almost all CM7 devices should mean our shifty is getting it!
TBH I think everyone already knows that the Cyanogenmod team is doing what they always do. So nothing new about this. Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know. The point is don't get your hopes up and expect anything soon.

Here's an article about Samsung addressing the issue with documentation. I know they didn't give a solution and words are just words, but hopefully they are sincere.

they've done it before, lets hope they don't do it again !
Its just disappointing how Samsung let it get to their heads as to how successful they've been in recent years. Forgetting that the same people who bought their devices contributing to their success are the same people asking for documentation and source. And to even go the extra step and tease a solution without honoring their word is just inappropriate.
Its actions like this that just makes one feel like sticking to the Nexus range of devices.
