From qhat I've read: no

I see no reason not to get it... Nexus S got it and runs it ultra fast. That means Galaxy S is more than capable of running it! Also, Nexus S needed to be updated to 2.3.6 to be able to upgrade. I believe we will see leaks for our devices as well. I think that is one reasons Samsung never released TouchWiz 4 for our device, I believe it will come in this ICS update (if they make one).

That's day dreaming.
We will most likely not get TW4 but maybe if the planets align properly we will get ICS.

Day dreaming? Why would they port the old crappy TouchWiz 3 on ICS when they have an already ported and new version of TouchWiz 4?
Also... Samsung Wave got TouchWiz 4 in Bada 2.0 update, I don't see why Galaxy S won't get it in ICS (both are HUGE updates and both devices share the same hardware).

..

To make their clients happy and keep staying with Samsung products? One thing is sure... if they update SGS to ICS, I will keep buying Samsung phones and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will do the same!
Nexus One doesn't have i9000's power...

I hate android fragmentation. SGS is capable to run ICS withouth any problems but its questionable will samsung release update. That fragmentation will cost android, now or later but it will damage androids reputation.

it is a WHEN question not IF

I hear samsung is going to ufficial update sgs to ics... but first sgs II...

Then lets keep our fingers crossed

Me thinks Samsung will not release ICS officially for SGS. But we will get CM9 anyway so I don't care

Dont mattet if samsung updates it..... see sig

That's what I thought they'll achieve with ICS... and now we have some Galaxy Nexus models that won't get aosp update, what a mess.
But a lot of manufacturers are working fast on ICS, that's nice to see though (minus the bloat).

Wow, I saw right now a video on youtube with ICS 4.0.3 on Nexus S, it runs flawlessly and soooo smooth. I love the new Launcher from ICS, will it be possible to get it runing on our Galaxy S when we receive ICS officialy (at this moment I'm pretty shure that we will )?

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note to get ICS in March
The development of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note is obviously progressing according to schedule. The Norwegian branch of the South Korean company just confirmed that the update is due to arrive at the end of this quarter, which means that there are just a couple of months left before the wait is finally over.

Can't wait

The initial excitement has well and truly worn off for me i dunno why but i got it into my head we would have it before xmas and im like meh at this stage, obviously ill flash it but probably about a month or two later the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released and undoubtedly that will come loaded with ICS so that is the only other phone ill get asides from this, i haven't even flashed another ROM in about 7 weeks a record since i came on here, not even fussed anymore to be honest the phone is running fine as it is and unless something pretty remarkable appears before ICS i doubt i will.

Cant wait ladies and gents! Just hope samsung sneaks in an option to disable f ing touch wiz

Have to agree with you fella. Not bothered here anymore either

Android 4.0 was officially launched at Ice Cream Sandwich release event on 19 October 2011.The source code for Android 4.0 became available on 14 November 2011.
Isn't it pathetic that Samsung cant release ICS update even for its flagship phone 'Galaxy S2' even after 3.5 months after the official ICS release? With the Android release cycle being 6 to 8 Months, 3.5 to 4 months is a long time for update release.

am I the only one that cant really see that many pro's to ics?? I flashed a few roms with ICS already and its not much different from gingerbread. Having the newest software is nice, but samsung really did a wonderfull job gingerbread.

+1, except that I never had any initial excitement really. Froyo to Gingerbread - while welcome - wasn't earth-shattering in terms of new functions etc, and I can't see GB to ICS titillating me immensely either. Very little I don't like about Gingerbread.
Been on the same ROM for 9 weeks, a new PB (have flashed updates though).
I'll just wait patiently for the SGS3 - Samsung would have to bork it quite spectacularly for me not to buy it.

Looking forward to trying this out, but not expecting the world to change.
Agree with the touch wiz comment.

Isn't it there already as a two step process?:
1. Install another launcher.
2. Select it as the default.

Seriously?

shouldn't a leak arrive earlier? I mean maybe that release date is for kies, progress on the leaks has been quite good, or is it just wishful thinking

It's really pathetic for Sammy's, they're doing it so slow.
We all know that it will be just "Touchwized android 4.0", so why there is such delay in progress?
I would wait without single shout, if
they release it with tw5.0, but, probably, tw5.0 is saved for GS3

I have flashed a few ics roms and there is nothing about it that really blows me away. I really dont know what all the hype is about. I would say that MIUI is without a doubt the best rom out there.

you dont understand. I meant for samsung to keep the default launcher as well as touchwiz.

i'm running ics westcrip's ressurection on my phone and it is a big step up from gingerbread ... give it a whurl ..you might like it...

Interested to see how they implement samsung stuff on top of ICS.
Touchwiz 5 anyone? LOL

Are you living on the moon? There are already tons of ics leaks for the sgs2 with TouchWiz. It looks 90% like gingerbread... And is tw4 not 5

Yeah totally agree. If you haven't flashed miui you don't know what your missing. Google should make it the standard.

XWJW1 Last official release for Galaxy S?

It's been a while since anything even slightly official has come out since XWJW1 and JVU didn't seem official or very tempting at all. Is this it? Have we reached the Omega?
And if not, any clues as to when a new one will be coming out? Hearsay is welcome.
For the record, I think xwjw1 is great (stock odex with semaphore 2.5.0bm and the blue boaffa mods), I just want to know if there is anything to look forward to.

Yes, ICS, forget about Samsung's official stance on releasing it for the SGS, the devs here are doing an awesome some and ICS Slim, is fast, sleek and so far, I've had no problems with it.

For once I am happy that Samsung is not releasing ICS! This means I get a vanilla OS from the wonderful community here!
I don't seem to be using TouchWiz for that many things! And if at there are things that I use, I am sure to find alternatives for all of those in the Market!
So I get the ICS "new look" and all the goodies with it - without the old UI!!! It's amazing!

Oh so why should anyone buy galaxy s2 with official very limited and faulty software development ? i think i will put on hold upgrading and wait for googles motorola with amoled
devs in here are making crap as always, doing stuff that they like - when something is crashing and something else is working 1% faster, ICS is pretty much funny and flashy compared to touch wizz which is to get the job done easier and faster

wow now you are *****ing about [email protected]?? If you want some features, why don't you go ahead and build them? Instead of talking **** about the DEVs here.

Yes, the SGS is EOL as far as Samsung software is concerned. Luckily this community is big enough to get past this.
We already have a few stable enough AOSP ICS roms and a port of S2's official ICS in the works, so there is still life left.

[Q] Which is better ? ICS from Samsung or CM9

I am looking at getting ICS from Samsung on mt GT 10.1, but it's already rooted, and if I want the official ICS, I have to un-root it. Not sure how I will do this. But before going through all this, I want to know what users prefer: ICS from Samsung or CyanogenMod ?
BTW: What's the safest way to un-root a GT 10.1 ? I got mine from USA, although I am in Canada.
Thanks

uhh? maybe i'm slow in australia but i didnt think ICS was out yet? would be the best surprise if it was...

I prefer ICS from Samsung as it will have no bugs also I like touchwiz

In order to unroot flash a stock rom OR remove su from /system/bin and delete superuser.apk from system/system apps and reboot OR download SuperSU from market which does the same!
None can tell you which rom is best. I personally prefer cm but I haven't seen the official yet. The safest way was, and will be to try them both!

Try ACS's method
I unrooted mine last night in prep for the official release rumored to come out anytime soon. I used this method:
[ACSyndicate] [How-To] Root/Unroot The SGT 10.1 GT-P7510 USA Retail WiFi Only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971
As for the diff's between CM9 and official ICS, ICS should have a working camera, but when the libs are released, you can bet your bottom dollar that these geniuses will have a modded rom based on it shortly.

If it's like ICS for the SGS2, I'd prefer Samsung's. They did a nice job and Task will clean it up well.

You don't need to unroot to get the update, i updated 4 times without unrooting using kies, and to unroot without the need to flash a new rom use (gingerbreak.apk ) and choose option unroot it works for me.

+1...we all blame Samsung for being the last to offer the update, but 3.2 was flawless for me...even battery life. The battery, which supposedly lasts 9 hours, lasted 10 with really hard use (3g constantly on, email sending, a little gaming, and 4 episodes of game of thrones and of course browsing and keeping an eye on xda...)

You don't need to unroot and I wouldn't be surprised if a dev released a rooted stock ICS rom before the actual release date

If I read this correctly, you're confirming that an update to ICS for your SGS2 in available in Hartford, CT?

Will they instead release JB, now that it is out ?
I am wondering here whether it will be worth going to ICS and then, instead of jumping directly to JB. Could it be what Samsung is/was waiting for ? Now that I have the tools to properly restore HoneyComb 3.2 anytime, I will wait and see, but until then, I will enjoy this CM [early] version of Jelly Bean. You can find the details here.

There is no such thing as "no bugs", it is just the nature of software being coded by human beings and the thousands (if not millions) of lines of code it takes to make all this stuff work. I think people don't understand what it actually takes for these companies to put out these updates. It is amazing to me that they get them out as quickly as they actually do to be honest.

I don't want to be a troll, but the answer to the question "ics official or cm9" is "cm10". Up until 3 days ago I was with stock 3.2 waiting for oficial ICS, but after reading the thread about cm10 preview I decited to try it and after installing it's like having a new tablet. It amazingly fast and rock solid stable. With 3.2 I've never used the task switcher button, because it was terrible slow. Now with JB I can't live without it.
It's still a preview version, but really I don't want more. The only thing is the missing camera, but I never use it.

Putting JB on my tab made me feel like I got a whole new tab.

Samsung won`t make updates to such "old" phones....

I'm agree with Lelex45, Samsung has forgotten this device... But there are a lot of "unofficial" very good rom here
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

Unfortunaly this won't happen. However like occ hio said, there are plenty of good custom roms. I own my i9001 now for 13 months, only the first couple of months of them I ran stock gingerbread from samsung. Never regretted that I turned to custom roms.

i think the custom roms that you can find here are a great solution

Yeah, get over it - JB custom ROMs are now for daily use IMHO, or you can just wait for the 3.0 kernel + few bugs fixed and it'll be close to perfection Cheers

Who cares whether they release it or not? Obviously the OP, but i doubt many others. We got the files, and the community. There's lots of custom ROMs that are better anyway..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

There are less roms than every body always says there are. For the most interesting android version (4.1) there's cm10, and variations based on that cm10 rom. If you find bugs in cm10 that annoy you, there is no use switching to an other rom.
I gave up the hope of an official update from samsung, but it would be nice if they could provide up to date drivers. But I really can't image they suddenly changed their attitude. Samsung is a hardware manufacturer and they see very little interest in software (quite common in Asia. People invest in stuff you can hold in your hands, not virtual stuff like software). But on the other hand, I gave up buying samsung stuff so can't really expect them to do anything for me

There really no chance for this petition!

They won't do it, they are so mean about new roms old devices or to it's modifications: s
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I remember that a time ago in a German forum people send many requests for ics to Samsung like a petition but it had no use. I think they said the device wouldn't be popular enough but not sure...

I think Samsung won't release JB for I9001 too. But give the best support to CM10 team!

If Samsung would release JB for such "old" phones, they couldn't sell so much oft their new devices. Anyway, i'm using cm 10 on my S-Plus, and in really can say it's much smoother than my wifes S3 mini.

no chance for this to succeed
