Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread Rollout halted

http://phandroid.com/2011/04/19/samsung-galaxy-s-gingerbread-rollout-halted-here-we-go-again/

well.. ill be staying out of the i9000 general section for a while lol.
inb4 samsung hatefest.

The samsung site has the GB posted on it and you can download from there. So, not sure why you would want the Vodaphone version....but then... that's just me

Would be awesome if google pulled a quick one, modified the international version, and released it for us U.S. users. To bad they cant do that unless they have the samsung drivers.

Theirs already to ports of 2.3.3 from official jvk

From the recent i9000 release, or just builds that people build with their best ability?

From the recent leak. Team edt has one on their site made a couple days ago
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Its good edt is working on gingerbread but last time I tried it, the rom was no where near polished. Can a determined nerd convince himself that all the random rainbow flash, and broken video and 3D support is worth it just to have the lastest? Of course, I did just that. But truth to be told, its not a dd yet. Bi Winning on the other hand is what a polished rom should feel like, and I know its an edt release.

Can you post a link please

just use bi-winningv2

What about 4.0.4?

Does anybody have any opinion that when will we get an official update to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3?

And what an excellent 4.0.3 it really is. Sprinkled with some bricks, too, but one
can't have everything.

I couldn't understand why people think I am not satisfied. A few of my friends are using nexus s and they had solved lots of problems after they upgraded their phones from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4

yes because that phone was the first to be shipped with ics, so that is basically the bleeding edge for ics

I don't mind a 403 without the bugs atm battery(wakelocks) sucks, touchscreen sometimes hangs, apps not working well do OS bugs, Lockscreen bug hangs alot processes/apps, more importantly LPY bricks issues, don't think it is 100% lpy problem but still want my mind not to it all the time, want to wipe phone and can't.

Nexus S he said, not the Galaxy Nexus.
Official 4.0.4 change log:
Stability improvements.
Better camera performance.
Smoother screen rotation.
Improved phone number recognition.
Sound a like a worthy upgrade to me.
But I'm on CM9 so I've it already.

Well my sgs2 got 4.0.3, 2 months ago, and still no upgrade to 4.0.4. So won't be quick for note either. I love the way they release something totally new and it's need upgrades for bug fixes straight away. How hard it is for these massive companies to get it right first time!

Will the 7.7" ever get JB?

Ok so we finally got ICS for our tabs, but unfortunately we are already running behind as JB is already out or on its way to several devices. I was wondering if you guys think that we will ever see an OFFICIAL JB update to for our tabs. Please spare me the custom JB ROM replies, i am not asking or interested about that i am only interested in an official JB update. What do you guys think, possible or will Samsung forget about our 7.7" like they did with original 7" and just move on. Please share your thoughts on this.
I am hoping we can get Google Now on our tab, seen it running on the Nexus 7 and it is awsome, the Bitter UI would be nice as well but not a priority.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

Same question will be asked after JB when Google releases Android Lollipop !
Just be glad that your TAB is working on ICS, and that alone will open the door for CM9 and even CM10 as there's no changes in kernel.
---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------
And BTW Google now has already been ported to ICS.

Officially... I say no looking from previous firmware update method by Samsung.
Maybe we can get it through CM or other Dev

I am glad and happy with improvements. Google now may have bee ported but voice part of it is not working, that is not a complete port, thats what happens when you start using custom roms, they never work 100%.

i am so agree with you about cooked ROMs :highfive:

Sent from my Galaxy Note LTE using xdadev app

I use my Verizon 7.7 all the time as I fell in love with the size and the mobility. I sold my Asus Transformer Prime, because I was barely using it. So I am in an even bigger pickle because my tablet is through Verizon. I hate samsung and their development awareness. They take forever to bring updates and I really fell such a great and expensive tablet like the 7.7 will fall by the wasteside. I truly don't think JB will be coming out anytime in the near future. I still don't have ICS on this tablet, but I use a different launcher which helps with lag.

I would imagine that any new tablet in this size and with amoled would presumably debut either at IFA, probably not since Note 2 is coming at IFA, so a new 7.7 would appear at CES 2013, possibly with new AMOLED tech, making the device thinner, lighter and higher resolution screen.

I would say 95%

Exactly, who doesn't want that. I understand there will be wrinkles but with an active development community like this then the more people that are running the ROMs will help improve them.

Nobody in this thread is really complaining, but there have been ALOT of complaints in this forum due to limited dev support, but c'mon, we're early adopters! TRUST me, as this tech becomes more affordable, the dev community will be all over it.
There is MASSIVE potential to be unlocked with larger sAMOLED+ displays. Has anybody realised that human hands have never drawn, painted or written anything with such a pallette before? Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to the wind on this issue.
From what I can tell, 10%-20% of us are professional artists/photographers/developers. The rest of ya'll are just awesome enthusiasts...(professional in your own right, I'm sure)---
The strange thing is, we're spread out all over the world, and there looks to be less than 100,000 of us total.
Nobody I've talked to (I mean chatted with on here) knows anyone else, or has seen anyone else with one of these tablets. That makes each of us unique in our own social spheres. JB will come out within months through the dev community, and i'd rather see an AOSP/AOKP port of JB than another sammy-watered-down-whimpy-touch-wiz-fracked-wish-i-were-a-REAL-android-distro-CRAPOLA-"UPGRAYEDD"

After not getting gingerbread on the vibrant (the only galaxy s1 variant that didn't), it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't update this variant of the gs2 beyond ICS just to keep the streak alive of not fully supporting updates for Samsung phones on T-Mobile.

Amen Bro ! Thats why I love this site so much. It doesn't really matter what T-Mobile does so its kind of a pointless conversation. I would't really even take the KIES update or OTA update from T-Mobile anyways. I will wait untill someone here gets a good stable JB Release. I am reluctant to change because my ICS rom is so smooth and stable but I know within a few months it will be worth it. It's like a slap in the face to the slow and bloated T-Mo. Rom.

I wouldn't do a kies update either. My hope is for Samsung to release source so that the devs here have more to work with. That was what dogged the vibrant. They eventually released Froyo for it, but nothing further. The GB/ICS/JB releases for it were all ported from either the i9000 or the Nexus S, and had to be tweaked since there was no actual source to work with for the vibrant itself. That's why the GPS was so spotty on it on any version of android after Froyo. I'm glad that my insurance replacement for my busted Vibrant was the Hercules, which is still in the window of time (was it 18 months?) that they pledged to support upgrades to android. Whether we actually see it is another story. At least the devs here really kick some butt on the ROMs they release.

Just got JB on my tf300 2 days ago
Asus updates waaaay quicker than Samsung! Maybe later on I could get an Asus Phone.

4.1.1 update will bring NatureUX to SGS2 (or atleast for the korean version)

I am posting it for those of who didn't see my post in the leak thread.
well, yesterday ota for android 4.1.1 for the koran sgs2 a.k.a 'SHW-M250K showed up at sammobile site.
but this ota is useless since its require 4.1.1 in order to use it.
However, this ota teach us that the update will bring Nature UX and that samsung actually statrted to work on the update.
I took some screenshots of the ota to let you see that it's 100% nature UX /touchwiz UX.

SecSettings,SecLauncher2,TopicWall,WeatherWall,Snote and Splanner are 100% nature ux apks and you will find them in every sgs3 rom (stock of course)
they even included the brand new galaxy note 2 water ripple live wallpaper.
And lastly,here the first line from the ota's update script that prove that there was not misspelling on ota name or something and everything is genuine:

there was a thread for those willing to flash a Korean ROM...the HW is almost the same except NFC and FM radio

Its a different FM radio in the korean version? Lacking NFC is not a problem I think, as the ROM will still work only that the menu's for NFC will generate errors if you try to access them..

But we don't have the full ROM right? We have the ota only! A few MB

I think you meant "experimental build", yeah, this might exist, but they don't leak because it's a leak, Samsung doesn't leak it voluntarily, it turns out to be someone leaking, maybe accidentaly?

So, if you install a Koren ICS ROM, you can install this OTA? =)

I'm sure it will. Maybe it's because of apple's patent war against samsung that's why they will update (soon) the UI of sgs2 to avoid patent infringement. So maybe in a way we might have to thank *cough* apple *cough* in a way.
