Im just curious to know what some of the new features on JB will be, and also what do you hope JB will bring?
Project butter is the main thing if I'm not mistaken. This is basically ICS but built much, much better in terms of code, fluidness, and speed. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are a few other nice additions but nothing major. Things like expandable notifications, new lockscreen animation, ect.
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 4.0.4
Something I've been wondering, if any devs working on the JB port can comment, is to what degree the effects of Project Butter actually show up on our Epics? Is it a significantly noticeable difference or do our hardware limitations still show up markedly?

Well on the half/not-working non source port, it ran pretty damn smooth, noticeably so. Other than that, when it comes along I think it'd be better for people to try it themselves.
You can now stream music through the usb port. This should allow for some sweet docking stations.

Will this give us the possibility of watching a video and texting at the same time? I keep seeing the s3 commercial where it does that and I wanna know what the deal is? Is that JB or just an app?

That's probably just an APP/framework. The GS3 comes with ICS, from retailers at least.

Jeez. They just got the damn source code today. The first thing they're doing is working on it for all of us and you're already asking for an eta? I could understand asking about the current situation, or progress, but an eta? Go sit in the corner. You're in time out now.

I'm posting from JB on my xoom from teamEOS. Since it's on this device, hopefully it's not too long for cm10. Until viperx came onto HTC One X, I had all 3 of my Android devices running cm9. Now it's spread, cm9 was on xoom until JBs installation today, slimICS on SGS and of course viperx on HTC One X. My wife won't let me root her phones (that sounds so wrong as at least use Aussies use the term root as slang for sex.

I agree with you about the ETAs, but I think you misunderstood this circumstance... He is not asking the developers, he is asking everyone in this thread. It can't really be called an ETA, because estimations require some knowledge of the activity behind the scenes (somewhat like an educated guess) - if anything, he is asking for a WSTA - a Wild Speculation of Time of Arrival
With that said, there is even less point in asking for that than for an ETA, because all of our answers are unfounded guesses - but at least he isn't directly bothering the developers (they don't have any obligation to respond in this thread, so it's their choice if they're bothered by it, unlike in their threads)

Big differenced I had the evo for almost a year, the samsung nexus s for a month and the epic and cm7 blows anything out of the water, they are some bugs hre and there but really cm7 has a lot work done that you won't believe from cuztomizing lock screen to take prmission from apps and such, from modifying power control widgets on the drop bar menu to themes, I think google should have done that first, cyanogen has done a lot of work and best of all is free, I donated a few times already they deserve the recognition

If only I knew. I was just clarifying that it's not 30 days. It's SUPPOSED to be immediate. Just because they're not happy with it is no excuse to hold back the code.

Google wrote a lot of the code for HC, and has been able to get around releasing the code because it's still a work in progress (it came out around March and is already on 3.1).
Also the main reason (or at least the reason they've given) for not releasing complete source code (kernel source is available) is to avoid cheap knock off tablets that run underwhelming hardware flooding the market and destroying the Honeycomb reputation before it even has one.
Now that cm7 seems close, which means a working AOSP kernel seems closer, any devs wanna work with me to try to port ICS?
All the "real" dev's aren't gonna go anything until ics source comes out. Noone wants ics...because as soon as ics is ported, people are gonna whine about not having cm9.
At the rate our cm7 is going we might actually be part of the cm9 release. Of course this is wishful thinking

We should work more on getting CM7 support official.
ICS is supposed to be similar to Gingerbread API, so if it's official then support should be adopted with the move to CM9.

^ this. You've got to look beyond. I totally agree here, we're so close with Deca's work on CM7 Kang to have it official, that the resources available to us should be embraced. Once Gingerbread is available, getting CM7 official should be everyone's goal, that is, if you want a fully working ICS rom for our epic in the future, and not a half-assed ICS SDK Port. Yeah, the Nexus SDK Port is a super-nice preview of ICS, but really, they already have official GB, so the port from ICS was much more realistic for them. Not to mention their port didn't have to worry about the Touchwiz Framework or whatever. Anyway, not to be a downer, if you guys round people up, then go for it, best of luck. Just know that if you prioritize what's much more important right now, it will lead to what you want in the end anyway.

Well that's really good to hear. CM7 development should be almost done by now...I'm kind of shocked that we haven't had video recording and video playback fully working after 3 weeks of having source.
Maybe I'm just impatient, or maybe it's because we don't have that many devs working on cm7 to begin with. Either way I just hope the Epic will keep getting worked on...

Mods,
This thread title either needs to be changed or moved to the Nexus forum.
1. Misleading thread title
2. We already HAVE a port of ICS (actually 4)
3. The nexus s leaks were fine
4. Old news
5. Why does it matter when we have aokp and cm9...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
OP, or mods, please change the misleading title.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Wow smh at you guys.
yes, the title was extremely misleading (kudos OP), however that is big news.
Yeah we have cm9 and aokp but those are buggy as hell because they don't really have an outline to follow.
Now what this means is, since they're finally getting official ics (even though it leaked already, but I'm guessing marcusant doesn't have a nexus s because that leak was kinda like eb13, where **** worked but it clearly wasn't ready for primetime.) we will probably get official ics on the other galaxy s phones since they're all the same, which will make it a lot easier for cm9 to get developed.
Remember what happened with cm7 about a day after samsung finally released ei22 I think? Idr the build but ii do remember cm7 getting a HUGE jumpstart after we got an official gb w/ source.
You guys need to stop jumping down peoples throats when they're sharing news in the GENERAL forum. You people ***** about this but not when there's a thread from a previous developer that's not even on sprint anymmore talking about that yay (although I have no problem with that thread either, it just seems some of your priorities need to be worked out.)
No one was jumping down anyone's throats, we just don't like misleading titles and want it changed or moved or deleted.
If you don't agree, suppose I post a new thread called "Epic to get official OTA tomorrow" and then post "Just kidding! Gotcha!" in the text. Wouldn't like that would you? That's how this came off sounding. The title should be "Official ICS Announced for the Nexus."
Just drop it, everybody make mistakes and I doubt the OP made a mistake. He/she was thinking about the community as a whole and how having a device similar to ours will be getting ICS officially. If the title was so misleading why the opinion of about why it's misleading need to be known. A simple report to a mod or admin would have had this issue solved without the unneccessary comments from those involved

Hi everyone,
I only pop in from time to time to check on Vibrant development for someone else. It's only been a few months but last time I left, the CM7 roms weren't fully working. Now there seems to be 100% complete ICS roms.
That's great new for everyone. I'm just curious what was the break though that helped? Samsung released more source code? Inside leak of a in house ICS build?

ICS Passion started us off. Neobuddy used the source from Nexus S (ithink) and built a ALPHA>BETA>STABLE ROM, after which more ROMS started showing up but they were pretty much Passion. Then CM9 showed up. AOKP showed up. Now we actually have a diversity of ROMS to choose rom.
This phone is great, thanks devs.
Its amazing, here we were waiting for a decent GB rom to come around and before you know it, ICS Roms as stable and good as froyo start popping up. Seems very few phones have ICS roms this good.

We have the kernel source and aosp source for ICS (not JB)(obviously) so why hasn't anyone made an aosp Rom? It seems even other devices get AOSP roms a lot faster. Is there a problem with porting AOSP to the S3 phones in general (US VERSIONS) or does no dev really care for AOSP and is happy with TouchWiz? I don't know, and I'm just curious. Just to be clear, I'm not asking any devs to get on it or work on it or rush it, just pure curiosity. Thanks. Hoping some devs could reply to clear some things up.

Yeah I get that it's running touchwiz which is like you said basically a 0% true android experience but wouldn't you just be able to delete the touchwiz all together and flash a new Rom. I'm not exactly sure what the problems are that are stopping devs from just installing a Rom onto it after removing touchwiz. I can wait I was just asking out of curiosity lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
You can't do that without achieving AOSP. ICS AOSP is helpful, but everyone wants JB.
The JB AOSP source code isn't out and when it is, the closed-source RIL is the biggest obstacle to making it work.

We have the kernel source and aosp source(obviously) so why hasn't anyone made an aosp Rom? Are there no dedicated enough devs? Does no one care? I've been thinking to compile an aosp Rom but I wouldn't know where to go from there

You can't have AOSP ROMS without the AndroidOpenSource for 4.1, which isn't out for 2 more weeks. And for 4.0, the devs still need time.
someone else mentioned that a lot of the devs might have held out for the 32gb models which were hard to come by opening week. the 16gb versions came out first. anyway, there are a lot of great devs on board, and not just historically samsung devs. htc devs like myn will be pumping out roms soon enough.
i won't lie though... some jellybean love would be beautiful.

Yeah, I hope by the time the SGS4 rolls around in a year that 32GB will be the new low-end, with 64GB the step up. I really hope we don't stagnate here -- or worse: go backwards -- just because of this cloud crap.
My guess would be that most of the devs have the international version. They have had AOSP roms for weeks. Not to mention cm9, aokp, and about to get miui4
My guess would be that the phone is just getting released in the US and maybe the devs are waiting for 4.1 source so we can have a Jelly Bean AOSP rom instead of spending so much time to create an ICS AOSP. That doesn't make much sense to me, why waste time on ICS when JB is coming out in couple of weeks.
Can't most efforts on ICS apply to JB, or do things like project butter really change up the porting?
I imagine Google Play on stock/root or CM9 would be a lower-hanging fruit.

Yeah that is probably it. But wouldn't starting now with ics help with jb?

I thought jelly bean was flashable over ics

Yeah I get that it's running touchwiz which is like you said basically a 0% true android experience but wouldn't you just be able to delete the touchwiz all together and flash a new Rom. I'm not exactly sure what the problems are that are stopping devs from just installing a Rom onto it after removing touchwiz. I can wait I was just asking out of curiosity lol.

Try and just take it explorer on Windows and see how far you get. It's not as simple as just deleting touchwiz.

There isn't AOSP because of posts like this. You probably delayed it a day or two.

Now now, this isn't Half Life. But seriously, I don't mind waiting for AOSP because TouchWiz has a lot of cool software features and I can always flash an ICS theme.
