Samsung to update all the Galaxy S line to Gingerbread

Its official. They will begin with the European phones at mid month (arent we there already?) and then move on to the American phones. I'm guessing we'll see a leak in about a month.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/official-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-getting-gingerbread-up/

Samsung has said that they'd step up their game with it comes to updates, and T-Mobile said they'd help push out updates faster.
I honestly think we may have a official release by the end of the month to early june.

Well, I really can be hopeful, since I'll also have the NS4G (getting it today), if they don't release it, I'll just play around with GB on the NS4G, and when the Vibrant gets GB, I'll have 2 amazing phones (not like the Vibrant isn't amazing now, but just not taking full advantage of it's hardware).

This is great news! Hopefully they do step up their software updates and push it out or leak it faster than we expect.

Hell, I'd rather take a leak, so that our amazing dev's can create working ROM's out of them.

Yeah a leak would come in handy. We'd get new roms and maybe some stuff fixed in CM7/MIUI. The Epic 4G had a leak not too long ago and i think there looking at another leak that one of the dev groups has. The ones that got us our leaks here in the vibrant section were Eugene373 and Krylon360, and their both gone. =(

Good news indeed... Lets just hope a leak comes early.

thats the best news ive heard all week!!! ty so much!!!!!!! And i thought i would never see gb on this phone..

All I want is a leak so devs can make a GB rom with great battery life and stability.

Yay! can't wait to get GB

Guys, once we get this... think about it..
CM7 will be officially done.
Miui will be officially done.
MANY new stable roms.
Vibrant section will be back up to trolling again!

Binary roms will not help CM7 and miui roms with GPS because of the way Samsung calls on the GPS as compared to the way aosp calls on the GPS. This has been stated many times over, and yet still gets swept under the rug.
Even after the *kernel* source is released, it still contains nothing about GPS source.

GPS will probably never work for EVERYONE on the Vibrant... so might as well let it go and wait for some dev to make a mod that makes it work like Heathen's GPS fixes.
I was saying that GB would open completely new doors.
GB could help complete MIUI and CM7, as they are all Gingerbread based.
Even if it is AOSP, they have to use the things that Samsung gives.

Obviously Samsung feels the same cause they didn't really want to release either yet...

Second that. I never understood why people are so impatient about software updates...like the Note was a completely useless garbage without ICS. Anyway, we have plenty ICS roms - even better than stock, so just flash one of them and be happy.

what the heck are you talking about?
international version had an ICS leak ages ago. sammobile had the i9220 leak and then made an n7000 version of it, this was like a month or so ago?
and whilst the att version is functional, its not without bugs. its also missing the much anticipated premium suite.

While technically he is right there has been no leak for the n7000 just the i9220. Doesn't matter really because no phone comes close to this bad boy even without ICS..
If I wanted ICS I would have bought a Nexus Prime..

Now that definitely warrants a new ICS thread...

ahaha the day after i sold my samsung infuse gb was release for it

Simple answer.
ICS on N7000 should be easier for them.
AT&T Note: Had to be modified for faster internet access so users can hit their cap faster.
China's i9220 and Intl N7000 should be about the same thing and easier todo.
And leak are just leaks, who knows how someone got access to that? Maybe we already have a fully perfect ROM for N7000 and Samsung still working out to provide roms for AT&T so ICS update can be a global thing.

Could care less
What does ICS bring to the table, other than hardware acceleration,
probably some newer apps.
The current version of GB 2.3.6 runs on my note like greased lightning.
You know good & well when ICS is released for any device, it's going to have
some of the same growing pains that GB did when it was released.
Since my Note is my business connection device, I think I'll hold off on jumping
onto the ICS bandwagon, until I know for sure it's ROCK SOLID stable.
I don't have time dealing with bugs. Thanks to you bleeding heart types though.
If it wasn't for you, we'd never be anywhere, but, I can't afford to have the
device lock up, slow down, crash etc.

Jellybean is 4.1

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/21/android-jelly-bean-4.1-google-wallet/
So basically it probably won't be a huge improvement over ICS like it was from GB to ICS.

Well that was to be expected.

man, i'm sure we will see it! It doesn't seem too different from ICS, but MP noted to me earlier today that even if we DO get 4.1, PROJECT BUTTER might not be compatible, and thats pretty much the BIG thing in 4.1, so it might not be as big as we plan.

Aw! That's what I was afraid of. Our vibrant might not have the guts for project butter. God dammit that would suck. Next nexus devices should be coming this fall right? If they price it to compete like they have tablet has been. I'll pick one of those babies up.

Well, Project Butter is just kernel changes etc, isn't it? Doesn't seem like it would be a hardware limitation unless it needed drivers or something

SG Nexus already have it.
We'll have it by next week. :good:

Apparently, according to rumors, there is supposed to be FIVE Nexus devices this year. I hope it is from all different manufacturers. Samsung,HTC,LG,Asus, and hopefully Nokia but that is unlikely.
Also, read up here, http://phandroid.com/2012/06/28/no-profit-in-nexus-7-pricing-says-rubin/
The reason the price is so LOW is because Google wants a clear pathway into the tablet market with this Nexus 7. A tegra 3 device at 200$? That, no one is daring to do but Google. They took no profits from the device, but I'm sure they will get something out of it since
1) market share increases
2) their own company value increases
3) if anyone uses the internet on any device, you can be sure as hell to see a google ad somewhere haha

We’re releasing Android 4.1 in AOSP today.
The name of the tagged release is android-4.1.1_r1.
The name of the development branch is jb-dev.
We recommend that you create new clients, even if you’re working in the master branch. It’ll make your clients smaller and faster to sync.
Proprietary binaries are available for Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus. Nexus S and Xoom will follow.

Sdk ports are always marginal at best. We can't really make a decision until official is out. Plus our phones are seriously lacking in the specs department at this point so I'm sure it runs better on something more modern.

fully agree with u, and yet i still like JB very much.
i can already say that for me personally JB is 10 times better than ICS, and i tried most of the ICS roms.
Love butter smooth animations, speed, new camera,
new notifications [although would be much better if u could take a peak with one finger not 2, cuz then u cant do it with one hand],
and at last i can use multitasking...
not the biggest fan of Google Now, at least at this point. ive found it not much usefull 4 me, i would prefer it much more integrated with other apps.

CM10 update for Galaxy S3- Release soon!

Link
Guillaume Lesniak12:07 - Public
A status update about CM10 on Samsung devices:
- The Samsung Galaxy S III's ROM is somewhat ready. As far as we know, everything works (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, Video playback, Calls, Audio, 3G Data, Camera, ...). It is currently undergoing some internal tests to make sure everything is fine just by installing the update ZIP, so if something goes wrong make sure to blame +Pedro Carneiro ;-) No ETA available, we will release an experimental build when we feel like it's ready, so if everything is fine it could be hours or days, if something goes wrong it could be hours or days or weeks or months or years or centuries or millenniums.
(Oh and don't even think about asking for FM Radio)
- I just started to work on the Samsung Galaxy Note. Codeworkx and Espenfjo already started on the Galaxy S II, thus some of their work profits a lot for the N7000. I'll keep you informed either here or on twitter on how things goes.
- The Samsung Galaxy S II is in a very early state, we got it booting. But since the Note is very similar, that's a lot of shared work between those two devices.
Technically speaking, the "galaxys2" device tree will turn into "i9100" to fit with the Samsung naming convention we used everywhere else in CyanogenMod device trees, and a new galaxys2-common tree will appear.
We really have no ETAs for all these devices, we really go for a "When it's done" approach, even for the S3 ROM. It could be released tonight, the same way it could be released next week. It depends on our free time and on how things go around. As for the Note/S2, there's still many things to do before giving an estimate, so stay patient.
I hope this post will calm down people bugging Hacksung on Twitter regarding Galaxy devices and Jelly Bean ;-)

I'm truly flabbergasted that the devs have managed to get so much working in such an incredibly short time. Truly very impressive.
