Oh, EK30 isn't the latest, that's EL07 as far as I know. And I doubt it'll be ICS.

I need to update the op..

/temporary sig
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Just ran through the latest rdfs.

After EK30, there is:

EL07

EL09

EL20

All say 2.3.6 Btw.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
It's to remove ciq

[Epic 4G General] MrTimz:
Finally got a chance to update the OP/Title
[Epic 4G General] poit:
EL20 still lists the same CIQ content as previous roms, although it could be a simple copy and paste error:

DiagnosticsProtocolVersion 1.1.0

DiagnosticsClientVersion 3.2.13

DiagnosticsClientVendor CIQ
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Or they haven't gotten around to pulling it yet and are still working on the fixes and updates to 2.3.6. Then they will pull CIQ. Sammy must curse the day they made the US Touchwiz phones...LOL!
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Here's a thought. LOL maybe they don know how to pull CIQ from ROM's themselves haha.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No big deal for most of us. It would take them a year to get it working on the Epic and by July and August we will be on new LTE phones with ICS and quad cores.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
can someone with twitter access please post the tweet from Sammobiles with the sexiest picture of the SGS3 i've seen yet?
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:

[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Let's see if people still prefer the Nexus when that comes out lol
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Or maybe they don't update the rdf lol
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Ohh that SGSIII is really nice looking
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Maybe they'll update just the epic? (wouldn't that be nice?)

Maybe we should start the #neveragain again and just keep tweeting them like they did to htc to get them to give the desire gb and to unlock bootloaders. If we get the support of the users of the other galaxy s series devices, we may be able to convince samsung.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
This is what I started thinking also. Since how many other galaxy s devices are still being sold by big carriers?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Hmm.

Stratosphere, Continuum, and maybe Fascinate on verizon. Epic 4G on Sprint. Infuse 4G and maybe Captivate on at&t. Galaxy S 4G, and Vibrant on tmobile. That's the big carriers.

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
What if I say I have evidence of the the touchwiz ics running on the i9000? The official ics made by Samsung. Now what they said might be true. Ics and touchwiz might be too much of a burden on the devices (doubtful) but it's out there.
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
LOL .... get ready for the "not true without proof" avalanche ... LOL
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What's the point? All of us here are going to be on quad core LTE devices with ICS long before Samsprint can approve an ICS for the Epic even if they started right now.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Hm that's a lot actually lol nevermind then, maybe with them having released the stratoshphere they'll release ics for select us devices?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Not everyone. Look at how many people still use the Hero, or the OG Droid, or the Nexus 1.

That is no excuse for an update to not come for a device that can handle it. I think the Nexus 1 should have gotten an ICS update, and the OG Droid should've gotten a GB update.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Totally agree with that. Obviously the difficulty upgrading the US TW devices (some still do not have GB) left a bad taste in their mouth so decided it is not worth the time and resources. If the i9000 were to get it, it typically takes 6-9 months from there to get it to work on our phones.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
I'm going to be here till january 2013 so... :(
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That would be right about the release date of ICS on the Epic...LOL!
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Money is tight.. Much tighter than people realize. Cut costs anywhere you can. Many people hate having to buy a new phone every year to have a decent device. The original sgs is a great device, even in today's standards. If ics was provided for them, people wouldn't need a new phone for quite some time. Devices should last longer than 2 years, and of course. For something $700 should last as long as I want it to. My tv is still around 6 years later. Why can't my phone last half that?

Don't answer that, cause we all know the answer. Companies are trying to maximize profit by forcing consumers to buy a new device. But in America how are they doing it? Through the carriers. The carriers have locked us in contracts and given us this fictional enjoyment of being able to upgrade. It's a mess and there is no way out.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
HAHA, I am going to answer anyway, my Instinct and my Palm Pre are still around here and function just fine. Just like that old TV which does not do 1080P or 3D. If we want the latest and greatest, we upgrade but the phones still work as phones. It is our choice to feed this consumerism or not to.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I have my old HTC Vogue that I use as my backup when my phone goes down. Sure it is nearly primitive technology, but it's satisfactory to me.

Hey, its runs Android.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Up until a month ago it ran a later version than the epic. In fact it had froyo before any device. Only the nexus beat it. Gingerbread was quick too, I bet ics will be ported shortly.

I would be interested in it if it did come with LTE and in white. In fact I was thinking about getting an unlocked overseas version and put it on my parent's AT&T family plan just for kicks. That phone has amazing battery life (due to the large 2500 mAh battery), the HUGE screen, plus the stylus support. Even on AT&T's HSPA+, the international version is getting very good speeds.

Whats awesome is that having a working cm7 with wimax means I don't care anymore. Seriously, samsung can go **** themselves as we will have cm9 before they release a non-ciq gb update.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
No its ice cream sandwich. They will be updating the sgs series with it but with features stripped out
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
Can't tell if you are joking or not. If not, does anyone know which features they are stripping out?
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Our devs will have ics out before samsung does. Who's gonna wait for them.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Korey, I really don't think it'll be ICS. Then again, with CM9 on the way, who cares honestly? Lol

Sent from my Legendary 2.2 infused device.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Websites have already reported that Samsung will be bringing value Pack to the original galaxy s devices.

Which may or may not be ics with features like face unlock and the camera features removed
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
He was joking.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Value pack is nothing more than ICS theme and Samsung has not stated a definitive answer. They said "may" release a value pack. Then they said no now they are back to maybe. 2.3.6 update will be minor fixes and CIQ removed.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Then they came out and said after consideration they weren't gonna do it. We'll get 2.3.6 and that's probably it since "the hardware is optimized for Gingerbread"

No he's saying that's what samsung said... quote straight from them is what he used.. the hardware is optimized for gingerbread.... except I'm pretty sure they used an s when they spelt it... lol... shows how much they know...
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Go look around. First Samsung said no, then they said they'd will look into it, then they said they will offer a value pack. No one knows what the value pack will be exactly. Some speculate it will be gingerbread with ics features, and others say ics with features left out

[Epic 4G General] duce102:
I would imagine so. I guess the value pack is going to be a mix of all the newer software and TW features from their newer phones. Finally we'll get some love from sammie.

Edit: in my opinion TW 3.5 was a slap in the face.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
No value Pack eh?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
HAHA...if it is anything like past history since it is a leak on the i9000 we will still have to wait 8 months after it's released there before we get it. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

Also, seems like the Galaxy S line is not dead. Galaxy S "Advanced" coming out in some other countries.

Are you kidding? The S4 beat the Tegra 3 in almost every benchmark. The only thing the Tegra 3 actually won in was the Quadrant Score due to its high performance in GPU. That being said though, there isn't a HUGE difference between the two in scores, and the S4 processor is still better than anything that came before it. Just because it says "dual" instead of "quad" hardly means anything.
