Well, if it's so easy, let's see YOU pull it off. Get cracking, you're going to need at least 100-200 hours of work to hack up a 2.6.35 kernel to the point where it'll even be considered half usable with ICS.

I can either waste a few hundred hours of my time creating a steaming turd that everyone will whine about until the I9100 source release occurs, or I can focus on polishing up Gingerbread as well as it can be so that I'm not totally burned out when we receive the tools that are actually needed to do a proper port that isn't a broken piece of crap.

Now, if we weren't sure if we'd be receiving what was needed in a reasonable amount of time, forging ahead instead of waiting would make sense. However, we KNOW for certain that I9100 ICS isn't too far off, and we also KNOW for certain that when it is officially released, kernel source will also arrive.

In fact, whiny *****es like you make me very tempted to react to the I9100 ICS kernel source release as follows:

1) Notify my boss I'm taking a week off of work

2) Driving to the Amtrak AutoTrain terminal in DC

3) Taking the AutoTrain to Orlando

4) Spending a week in Disney World enjoying some warm weather while I derive immense enjoyment from knowing all the asshats that kept whining have to wait even longer because they couldn't stop being whiny little *****es.

smart enough? hmmm... the 3 commas in your sentence explains how high of an intellect you have obviously. that and we're "smart enough" to figure out that without kernel source or at least a leak that we would be about as well off as the epic 4G touch guys running bs that is unbearable and unusable. sorry dude. i like using my phone as a phone.

Guys, am I reading this correctly that ICS is being release on March 1st?:D

Thanks to SlashGear..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Maybe... i just want the i9100 to get it officially
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zhiheng:
I would assume this is for I9100, not our I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup, but if true, that means kernel source will become available around then, and that's the starting gate for I777 development. Expect the touchkey issue to get crushed within days (if not hours - it really depends on when the source release happens compared to the schedule of the developers here.)

Next after that will be call audio - this will be tougher, but it will be the only remaining issue most likely, and will have a concerted focus on it from multiple people. (I suspect a few devs that are "taking it easy" will show up again for ICS, and atinm will likely resume working with the I777 once the I9100 is in a good state. For fixing a problem like the audio routing issues, my money is on atinm.)

Unfortunately - While Samsung usually releases source early for a new device, they are very bad about source releases for updates. The Infuse, for example, still has no source code for the AT&T Gingerbread release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Remember, this is ATT.. Just because Samsung releases it to the carriers doesnt necessarily mean we will see it released to us..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Most of us aren't waiting for an at&t release. We are just wanting source ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
While i'll believe it when I see it, every picture used in the most recent drop announcements show a GSII with the ATT logo on top. It may be just the availability of a GSII pic since it never mentions ATT specifically in the articles.

Dont worry, he will get whats coming to him. Karma can be a real *****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Kernel source will probably be out before then. That's all im waiting for. Had CM9 on my phone for a little bit and i can't wait till we get a fully functioning version for our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Without mentioning AT&T, I believe the release is for i9100.

Either way, if kernel released, I am in the waiting game :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] git-sims:
I hope it doesn't take as long as the Captivate took to get Gingerbread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wuddersup:
We should get our version a bit before other carrier GS2's get theres, since ours is most like the international version... correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
correct, we should get it not too long after the source for the international version is released. I'm sure the day second the kernel source drops for the i9100 our kernel devs will be hard at work :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
An official or unofficial version?

Unofficial - yes, you're correct.

Official release - This is AT&T we're talking about here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
We will see an official ICS right around when google releases Android 5.0.... if we are lucky :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Which means we don't want the official release anyway :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kant Phaze Me:
Sources say March 1st depending what country you live in for SII and Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
We already know this - and that's the current I9100 release estimate.

Official ICS for I777 will be long after that - but the fun starts for developers around March 1. (Exactly when depends on if Samsung releases kernel source early or late - they're kind of bad at source releases for updates. See the Infuse Gingerbread source as an example. Still none for the AT&T release.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HaruSoul:
After you get the international kernel, is there anyway to guesstimate how long it will take to port over/rewrite/whatever to make a working I777 kernel? Based off of Gingerbread or any past experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Fixing touchkeys - A matter of hours at most. (Obviously, in terms of source-release-to-kernel-release, this will be longer - it depends on if the source drop happens when I'm busy or free.)

Fixing audio - it's going to be a *****, no clue. On Gingerbread, we could just pull audio libraries from an I777 firmware. There was the Samsung Noise Reduction hack that didn't require this, but I don't know if that will work on ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Entropy don't forget about that vacation you booked to coincide with ICS source drop ;) lol (I think I remember you posting something to that effect after all the *****ing about "when/why don't we have ICS yet?") haha :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If more people whine and it's cold when ICS source drops - yeah, I may go to Disney World. :P

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] androidobsessed:
by the way it looks like were definitely getting closer to the I9100 release of ICS as a new leak just surfaced, making it faster and more battery efficient, also a leak came for the Sprint version, which of Sprint will likely get it before T-Mobile or AT&T, must mean good things that its being worked on, so keep your fingers crossed itll come soon

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Good news of this is that we might get an AT&T-specific leak not long after I9100 ICS goes official. One leak of audio libraries and we'll be in VERY good shape.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Well my birthday is the first of next month. It'd be awesome to get ICS before then :-) I guess we'll just wait and see. My guess is mid april-early may though before we see a fully functioning DD for our phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] androidobsessed:
Well hopefully not, cuz if we do get that source code drop March 1 then we're pretty much guaranteed to have it really working earlier than that

Samsung is working on the e4gt now. They will probably be working on.. The skyrocket next then the basic sgs2

I highly doubt it. Maybe the vivid, but that's arguable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quadra_Slam:
I think they will want to update the Skyrocket before they update the i777; they marketed it a lot more aggressively. It will definitely be easier for them to make one for us though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boolboo:
Im really surprised E4GT has received a usable leak before us. I was on Sprint using that phone not too long ago, and all the speculation pointed to the Sprint variant getting ICS late.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Based on what I've heard, the Spring E4GT's leak isn't that usable and is full of bugs.

From a project management perspective, it makes sense - Samsung has a clear public schedule committment for the I9100. They have none for AT&T, and none for Sprint either but probably have made committment dates to Sprint.

Samsung has a certain amount of manpower... So right now, their focus is:

1) Hit the closest dates (I9100)

2) Start early on the items that require lots of long-term work (Epic 4G Touch)

Popping out "a leak for leak's sake" for the I777 makes no sense when 95%+ of the firmware work is the same. Why divert manpower to the I777 when they still have an I9100 date to hit, and any manpower diverted to any item for the I9100 other than call audio is going to help the I777 effort anyway?

My guess is that someone at Samsung made a sensible decision - because of the similarities between the I777 and I9100, do not start I9100 work until "common" I9100 items are completely finished (and there's still clearly "common" I9100 work left to do.)

The E4GT, on the other hand, has tons of device-specific work to do, so it makes sense to start early.

It's similar to a contract I have at work - it is for a variant of our existing product for a new customer. That product has a bunch of subsystems, some of which are barely changing at all, and some of which are being significantly redesigned. The items requiring significant redesign were so long-lead that the company spent some of their own R&D money pre-contract to get a head start as a gamble on winning the contract. Other items have barely been started yet - because almost no work needs to be done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nthornton1990:
It does have bugs but nothing serious. I use it as my dd and the only major issues are that gps doesnt work for some and there isnt an official kernal so no cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dksmoove:
From what I've seen, they have marketed the i777 way more heavily than the skyrocket, through internet ads & tv commercials.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:
It took me quite a few ATT stores to even find this phone. Some didn't have it, or were even allowed to sell it. Check my threads stated to see details. Had to go to best buy.

That was because of they skyrocket. Well, all this was in SoCal anyway..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fusion777:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
BTW, considering that LPH isn't quite complete, and no other leaks for I9100 have shown up - I don't think that March 1 date is going to get hit.

Mid-late March maybe, but not March 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
LPH was pretty functional, but I felt it was very choppy. Touchwiz in certain areas looked kind of weird. Overall still a bit far from being polished.

I personally believe that it will look a little different time an official version is released. Hopefully the hardware acceleration is working as well and I wonder if it will have an AOSP launcher alongside touchwiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshh20:
Yeah, I kinda have to agree with you, although I really would like it for it to be released tomorrow. This is why I am kinda disappointed because ICS came out back in November and we still haven't gotten it, I mean this is supposed to be a flagship phone, the best. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No other manufacturer has done better. Only the Nexus line and the Transformer Prime has ICS to my knowledge, and the Prime's ICS update was a disaster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
Also the Xoom and the original Transformer have ICS.

No other phones do to my knowledge though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
And both transformers are running great for me. Some people in the prime community were having issues with the release and a couple updates but Asus answered quickly with multiple updates in a 2 week period. I don't see any other company doing that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Well the Xoom is the "nexus of tablets". Also, HC tablets are a bit easier:

No telephony

HC is closer to ICS than GB

75% of the HC tablets were all variants of the same hardware (1280x800 LCD on a Tegra2)

As to gunning out updates for problems - Sammy did it with their Tab 10.1 HC3.2 update. It had wifi problems, another update showed only 1-2 weeks later.

There's no way in hell AT&T users will see ICS before the I9100. If there's an update coming to AT&T users now, it's another Gingerbread release to fix the epicfail known as UCKK6.

Kind of like how the Infuse got a Froyo update on AT&T after Rogers released the Infuse with Gingerbread.

Hmm... Maybe the leak connection pipe is failed if there was a Gingerbread leak and we didn't know about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
